Chapter 181: Let the Sun Never Set! Championship Rewards and Two Tasks!
The female fan in front, seeing her idol suddenly shout "Mom" at her, first froze and pointed a finger at herself.
Then, her expression inexplicably turned into one of pleasant surprise.
Fortunately, Ming Kai also recognized them, so he quickly had the staff go on stage to bring the two elders down, and then they all headed to the backstage area together.
"Hello, Auntie and Uncle!" the teammates all greeted them very politely.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Ye Bo, already excited, couldn't keep his mouth shut, and even his footsteps felt as if he were walking on cotton.
It felt as if the most important things in life had all suddenly come together at this very moment.
Even the last bit of regret from not being able to share the joy immediately after winning the championship was completely made up for.
"It's your dad; he was afraid you'd be nervous if you knew we were here." Before the smiling Ye Ying could finish her sentence, she was quickly tugged by the man beside her.
"Oh, Uncle and Auntie, then you don't know Master Ye well; he wouldn't be nervous. If he knew you were watching in the audience, it would definitely be a buff for him!" Saint Gun Brother joked.
"Yeah, yeah, maybe Zeka would have been solo-killed twice as many times!" Jiejie also chimed in to tease.
But given Ye Bo's "manic" personality, that might actually be a possibility.
Ye Bo held the trophy while telling his parents about all the experiences of this World Championship.
Those were fragments that could only be known through documentaries.
It seemed that only in front of his family did Ye Bo look like an 18-year-old boy who had just come of age.
Backstage, there was laughter and chatter; the mature and experienced Ming Kai took the initiative to greet Ye Xiong, telling him about the changes in Ye Bo since he joined the club over the past six months, as well as his influence on everyone.
As for Ye Ying, she was actually chatting quite enthusiastically with the young team members!
She even discussed quite a few "gameplay" issues with the five world champions.
From this, it wasn't hard to see where Ye Bo's "naturally outgoing" personality came from.
Because it was still too unsafe abroad at the moment.
Even if everyone who was going to get infected already had been, it was still not advisable to stay long.
The EDG team had long decided to hold the victory banquet back home, so they headed straight to the airport as soon as the post-match matters on-site were finished.
They came together as a team, but they had to arrange their own return.
After all, every team had a different time to go home; some were in the Round of 16, some in the Quarterfinals, some in the Semifinals or Finals.
EDG was very generous, directly booking the entire business and first-class cabin of a flight.
Of course, the tickets for the two elders were also changed to the first-class cabin of the chartered flight.
The space was very spacious, and the teammates were very considerate, moving to the seats in the back to leave a relatively quiet and private space for this family.
"Mom, this seat can be laid flat so your waist won't be so uncomfortable!" Ye Bo was still chattering excitedly: "Dad, yours has a massage function; it can relax your old cold legs!"
"We sat in these when we came here, a twelve-hour flight; if it weren't for these seats, my butt would definitely have been shaken off. By the way, what tickets did you buy when you came?"
As soon as Ye Bo blurted it out, he realized it was a silly question.
After all, international airfare was ridiculously expensive during this special time; even the most basic seats cost 10, 00-20, 00 RMB, and first-class seats were easily 100, 00 and up. How could his parents have bought business class?
Ye Ying clearly understood what the sensitive Ye Bo was thinking and said with a smile: "It's fine, maybe it's because it's the first time your dad and I have flown, it didn't feel much different from the high-speed train, why buy such expensive ones."
Ye Xiong also nodded in agreement.
However, as he felt the spacious, comfortable seat with a massage function, his expression was clearly very satisfied.
"That won't do!" Ye Bo immediately shook his head seriously.
"I'll have to go abroad to play matches often in the future. If you come abroad to watch my matches again, you must buy first-class tickets, otherwise, it's too much suffering."
He put on a mysterious expression, lowered his voice, and said: "I have money! I heard that just the championship bonus this time is 2 million! In RMB!"
"And next year, my salary will definitely be very high, definitely over ten million!"
Ye Bo was definitely not bragging.
Although he didn't know how much salary he would get next season, he remembered that just after the Summer Championship, Abu wanted to renew his contract for next year in advance, and the offer was ten million.
Now that he had won the championship, it couldn't possibly be lower than that, right?
Ye Bo had never really had much of a concept of money.
Before playing professionally, the most he came into contact with was doing livestreams at home; if the monthly gift money reached three digits, it was a success.
After playing professionally, he suddenly had a huge income, but his mind was always on the matches, and the salary that arrived on time every month just lay in his bank card; he hadn't really spent a single cent.
But now, Ye Bo seemed to have suddenly gained a concept of "money."
He felt that his parents had worked hard their whole lives, and now that he had the ability, he must let them use the best of everything!
"Alright, alright." Ye Ying showed a gratified smile, but it was clear she still didn't take it too seriously.
After all, in the eyes of the older generation, spending tens of thousands of yuan for comfort was still too extravagant.
And they only knew Ye Bo's current salary level.
As for what he said about "over ten million" next year, it still sounded a bit too fantastical.
Ye Bo pouted, clearly sensing that they hadn't taken it to heart.
He suddenly stood up and walked unsteadily to the back of the cabin, as if he were saying something to Ming Kai.
The latter immediately patted his chest, said something back to Ye Bo, and then both of them took out their phones to operate them.
Before long, Ye Bo walked back.
"There's satellite signal on this plane; hurry up and connect your phones, check your text messages!"
Hearing this, the two took out their phones and indeed received two text messages each.
{Construction Bank: Your savings card ending in 0333 received a large transfer of 2, 00, 00. 0 RMB from "Shanghai Yangchuan Technology" on November 6th at 13: 9, current balance...
{Construction Bank: Your savings card ending in 9436 received a large transfer of 2, 00, 00. 0 RMB from "Shanghai Yangchuan Technology" on November 6th at 13: 9, current balance...
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..." Ye Ying, whose eyesight was slightly failing, squinted to count the zeros.
Ye Bo struck a smug pose with his arms crossed, like a character in a war movie: "Two million, that's my championship bonus and my previous salary!"
"Don't worry, it's all my money; it's just that the Manager said it's more convenient to use the club's corporate account, I'll transfer the money to him later!"
"I told you I have money! Really, don't save money for me; from now on, you are only allowed to fly business class, you hear me?"
Only when real money is slammed in front of you is it the most real shock.
Ye Ying didn't say anything more, but her eyes suddenly became misty again.
But she didn't want to make it too sentimental, so she jokingly said: "That's not right, why is your dad's two million and mine two million four? Tell me, are you being biased!"
The angle of Ye Bo's pout rose even higher: "That's definitely bias, isn't it obvious? Dad doesn't have a higher KD salary!"
All three of them burst into laughter.
The flight back to the country was long, and there was a victory banquet, so everyone soon rested on the plane to recharge their batteries.
And Ye Bo finally had to calm down before he had time to look at the rewards he hadn't had a chance to see.
【Task: S-Championship】
【Congratulations! Task progress completed (4/4)!】
【Congratulations on obtaining Counterattack Points: 22222】
【Congratulations on obtaining Basic Talent Enhancement Points: 4】
【Congratulations on obtaining Task Reward: Unlock "Trial Grounds Time Dilation+"】
【Congratulations on obtaining Task Reward: Diary Function — "Future Ending"】
【Congratulations on obtaining Task Reward: "Canyon Pot"】
He hadn't paid attention to it at first because there were simply too many reward boxes; they had blocked his view when they popped up, and he hadn't had time to look at them at all.
It must be that the task progress was fully completed, successfully unlocking all the rewards.
Just looking at the quantity, it was definitely a fruitful harvest, worthy of being the reward for the first S-Championship!
But before that.
Ye Bo first checked the two new tasks that had popped up one after another.
【You really did it!】
【The goal from ten years ago, the promise you made to yourself back then, everything, it really is not too late!】
【Of course, in your nine-year career, you have witnessed countless miraculous histories with your own eyes; you know that not to mention one championship, even four or five... are far from the upper limit of the League world.】
【So keep working hard, old man, just like the dream you once had————if you are the world number one before the sun sets, then from today on, give it your all and let the sun never set.】
【Task: Second S-Championship】
【Reward:?】
【If a championship means the ultimate certification of peak skill and tactics, then the existence of a Grand Slam is like a holy emblem hanging in the firmament, a monument engraved by countless competitors with glorious deeds.】
【Task: Achieve "Grand Slam" (limited to existing international tournaments)】
【Task:?】
"Two at once, that's really nice."
At this moment, Ye Bo had no mindset of fearing any challenge.
Or rather, he never had.
Seeing a brand-new challenge arrive, he felt only anticipation and motivation!
"But existing international tournaments... should also include this year's Asian Games, right?"
Truth be told, Ye Bo currently only had the Summer Championship + S-Championship.
Although these were undoubtedly the two championships with the most relative weight, he was still at least a Spring Championship, an MSI, and next year's Asian Games—which had special significance—away from a true Grand Slam.
It was equivalent to not even being halfway through, with quite a few challenges still waiting for him.
Ye Bo cast aside distracting thoughts and first checked the rewards.
First was the "Basic Talent Enhancement Points"!
You have to know, normally it takes "1 trophy" to exchange for "1 enhancement point."
And this time, the reward is directly equivalent to the amount of 4 trophies!
Before entering the World Championship, Ye Bo had already digested all the improvement points, which is the upper limit increase from counting back three times from the age of 18.
It could also be said that it is precisely because of the improvement in talent.
That Ye Bo's several limit-breaking plays were able to succeed in one go.
And this wave, plus the FMVP + Summoner's Cup + four improvement points — it is directly an enhancement of 6 points!
The progress toward "maxing out" at age 18 is already incredibly close.
According to what the system said.
After the talent cap is maxed out, one can also carry out certain "conceptual" specialized training.
Ye Bo, in any case, is quite looking forward to this.
As for the "Trial Grounds Time Flow Rate +", he also opened the trial grounds to take a look.
The time limit is still 10 hours in reality.
It's just that now, one can choose to spend additional Counterattack Points to increase the original 3x "time flow rate" to 6x!
That is to say, whereas Ye Bo originally had 30 hours of extra training time every day — now it can be increased to 60 hours!
However, although the flow rate only doubled.
The cost in Counterattack Points requires a full ten-fold increase.
Fortunately, Ye Bo's reserve of Counterattack Points is quite abundant, so there is no problem with sustaining it for a period of time; it is very suitable for special training during battle preparation.
Just from these gains alone, Ye Bo already felt it exceeded his expectations.
But clearly, what is truly puzzling are the two "strange" things behind it!
"What does 'Future Ending' mean? Does it mean I can see next year's Grand Finals in advance?"
Ye Bo guessed half of it right.
It is indeed seeing next year's Grand Finals.
It's just that it's not watching the process of the finals, but directly seeing the result — and it is in the form of a "diary video."
【Didn't expect it to be such a result】
Just like the vision images during the Xiaohu chapter.
What Ye Bo saw was a team he was incredibly familiar with this year, one where the personnel hadn't even changed at all, lifting the S13 Summoner's Cup.
And the team that lost behind them seemed to be the WBG team logo.
The score — was three to zero!
In the free-roaming perspective, he could see Miller's despondency at the commentary desk, Wang Duo taking a deep breath during his closing remarks, and the sounds of despair from all the LPL viewers lamenting everywhere.
"So it's this T1 next year..."
Ye Bo's expression was clearly somewhat surprised.
Mainly because after playing against them this year, looking at it purely on the surface, the overall strength of this T1 team really seemed to be just at the level of a top four team.
The mid laner seemed like he was truly old, the jungler was dizzy without the mid lane, the top laner was crushed in the matchup, and although the bot lane's laning was decent, they didn't commit fewer mistakes.
Yet, looking at the three-to-zero result in the video and everyone's expressions, the gap in strength between the two sides didn't seem like a small one.
The brief "future scene" disappeared, and the diary pages reappeared before his eyes.
【What an inspiring championship victory】
【So, how old am I? Deft can win at 26, Old Li can still win at 27, and both in such a shocking way!】
【My path as Ye Bo is still long, what does being a substitute count for! In the future, I will definitely be able to stand on that stage too!】
【Speaking of which, I had a very strange dream last night, dreaming that I also won the championship, and even said something very arrogant during the interview, something like 'Before the sun sets, I am the number one mid laner,' hehe, it seems a bit embarrassing, this diary must never be seen by a second person!】
Ye Bo couldn't hold it in when he saw this passage.
As expected of a "good brother"... he really knows himself!
But looking back, it was truly a bit shocking.
When Ye Bo saw the first mission description earlier, it said something about Old Man Bo witnessing a "four-time champion," "five-time champion"...
At the time, he thought it was some peerless genius team appearing in the future, or some "God-tier roster" experiencing a second spring!
But now, combined with the diary content, it seems the answer is more like this team that already has three championships.
Ye Bo shook his head.
Now S12 has just ended — not to mention that the development of the real-world timeline has been completely changed!
Without winning the championship, the future of many teams could undergo massive changes.
Even for T1, it's not impossible for them to change their roster because of a top-four finish; no one can say for sure.
Compared to the state of mind Ye Bo had when he first opened the system and saw the prompt about "S12 almost everyone reaching the top eight."
The future Ye Bo saw at this moment instantly reignited the raging fire in his heart that had just calmed down a little — he couldn't wait to teleport to the S13 battlefield immediately!
Old Man Bo's first small goal from back then was achieved.
Ye Bo only felt that from this point on, he seemed to no longer be fighting alone.
"I will make the sun never set!"
He said a harsh word into the void, not knowing who he was speaking to.
Ye Bo looked at the last thing, the strange "Canyon Pot."
As his consciousness drifted toward it, he saw that it really seemed to be a "pot" existing within his own consciousness.
And when his consciousness immersed into it.
Ye Bo only felt a flash of white light before his eyes.
The next moment, he "personally" arrived at a place.
What was before his eyes seemed somewhat familiar, yet somewhat strange... it seemed to be a slightly different Summoner's Canyon?
The difference mainly lies in: the sky here is not filled with the black-red aura of battle.
Instead, it is a beautiful scene of sunny skies, as if it were a "vacation resort"!
The Raptors are chirping, the Red Buff is snoring in its sleep, Baron Nashor is fiddling with the three stray hairs on the Rift Herald's head, and there is a Scuttle Crab practicing drifting at the entrance...
Immediately after.
Eight golden frames appeared before Ye Bo's eyes.
From the first, Akali, LeBlanc, Yone, Zoe, Taliyah, Azir, Pyke, to the eighth, Sylas.
These were clearly all of Ye Bo's current level-seven champions!
Since there were no extra prompts here.
Ye Bo didn't think much and subconsciously clicked on the first one, Akali.
"... hat does this mean, and then what?" Ye Bo, who didn't feel any changes, muttered to himself in confusion.
"Is this thing useless!"
But at the very next moment.
A clear, clever, and spirited voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What do you want it to be useful for?"
"Huh!?"
He turned his head abruptly.
He only saw a girl with her jaw half-hidden by a black veil, her blue-green eyes seeming to hide stars and frost, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and her whole body exuding a cool, divine temperament, leaning against the outer wall of the Raptors camp.
She was even holding a bowl of ramen in her hand, looking straight at him.
That was a figure he couldn't be more familiar with.
It was even the "Star Guardian" skin he used in the finals!
"?????"
Ye Bo soon roughly understood what this was.
This was, in fact, a space exclusive to Ye Bo.
He could spend Counterattack Points here to "summon" the champions he had reached level seven with — of course, limited to within this consciousness pot.
If one had to say what practical use it had... it didn't seem to have any.
At least it wasn't as direct as the previous functions.
There were even many strange things that required effort to unlock, such as collecting the match records of the "Pool Party" skins to obtain the "Pool Scene," or using a champion's skin to let her change outfits...
"Akali, can you perform that move?"
"Damn, you really can do it! When I used that move, I really wondered if you would get tired from flipping over walls all the time."
"And that one, can you do it? That one! That one!"
"You're a bit noisy... Let me teach you assassination. I think you're not using it well. That wave just had one extra strike; the true essence of a Balanced Assassin should be to strike and retreat immediately..."
"Also, if you don't pick me for the first skin, you're dead."
It wasn't until before the plane landed that Ye Bo was woken up by the person beside him.
He left the "pot" in his consciousness with great reluctance.
Everyone had rested well on the plane, and upon landing, they held a grand celebration banquet together; Ye Bo's parents were also invited to attend.
It wasn't until the next day that the off-day officially began.
Ye Bo bid farewell to his teammates and set off with his parents to return to Wuhu.
And what Ye Bo didn't know was...
Just tonight, at this very moment, the topic of the entire League world was stirring up a heaven-shaking storm because of him!
