Chapter 35: Can a Professional's Actions Be Called Stealing?

Ye Bo studied it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to complete this hidden quest.

But since it was a hidden quest, if it were just laid out for him to do, it wouldn't seem very "hidden."

Ye Bo was not a person who dwelled on things, and besides, it didn't say what the reward was.

He simply looked at the final prompt box first.

【Congratulations! You have successfully completed the novice tutorial stage. You already know how to shine on the competitive stage. Very good, then next, go and claim your first Silver Dragon Cup championship!】

【Quest: Win the Summer Split championship and advance to the World Championship as the number one seed.】

【Reward: ?】

(°ー°〃)

"Come on, man, the next step after getting a first win is to win the Summer Split? Isn't the jump in this quest a bit too big!"

Since the development of the League of Legends league, excluding secondary tournaments like the LDL, Demacia Cup, and NEST, as well as special events in certain years.

There are actually only four championships that can truly be called "valuable."

The World Championship, the Mid-Season Invitational, and the regional Spring and Summer Splits.

And among these, apart from the supreme and unshakable status of the World Championship, the second place has always been a matter of debate.

However, in fact, if the World Championship is used as the benchmark, the "value" can be completely determined.

Of the 11 World Championships that have taken place so far, excluding the amateurish S1.

There is only one instance where the MSI champion, SKT in the S6 season, successfully won a World Championship title.

Interestingly, all previous MSI champions from the LPL region have stopped at the quarterfinals in their respective years, as if it were a curse.

Then, what about the Summer Split champions?

In 10 World Championships, a full 6 were won by the Summer Split champions of their respective regions—more than half!

The gap here is self-evident, not to mention the Spring Split champions who only earn a ticket to MSI.

It’s equivalent to just getting First Blood.

And then being told, "Very good, next step, go solo the Baron!"

Of course, EDG's strength foundation is not weak. Although the current version doesn't fit well and their form isn't great, looking at the Spring Split, there are actually only seven teams ahead of them.

Among them, JDG has already been played and lost to, and LNG, which was connected to EDG, was just defeated.

In other words, theoretically, Ye Bo only has five truly challenging opponents?

"Looking at it this way, it seems okay."

"Let's do it, let's do it!"

He detached from the consciousness interface, sat up, and checked the time.

Although he could feel it was difficult, it didn't seem that far away either. At the very least, it was definitely a distance he could reach with effort.

That was enough.

"Hey, you're not sleeping?" Li Xuanjun, in the bed next to him, was holding his phone.

"Not sleeping, it's still early, I'll practice a few more games." Ye Bo did a carp kip to get out of bed.

"That's fine, it's only past seven. If you sleep now, you'll probably wake up in the morning. We have a half-day off tomorrow, and I still want to sleep in," Li Xuanjun laughed. "But speaking of which, your sleep schedule is really fixed. You lock in nearly ten hours every day, I'm so envious."

"Eh, it's just because I have a bad habit of sleepwalking, maybe it's not deep sleep."

Ye Bo turned on his computer and opened his main account for ranked games.

After exploring for this period, he had already discovered some settings.

Heroes that had already reached the peak of level seven also needed to be played every few days to maintain the "perfect" level; otherwise, they would {decay} by 1 point of experience, and long intervals would cause this to increase.

Ye Bo actually thought it was quite reasonable.

After all, playing games is also a "skilled trade." Reality isn't just about practicing a hero and being done with it; you still have to train every day.

If you don't touch it for several days, you won't exactly get rusty, but you will definitely be a little "out of touch."

That's about the feeling.

As for the 1-point proficiency experience decay, it was obvious that it would almost never lead to any actual operational impact.

It was just because of the "Hero Compendium."

After Yone reached level seven, Ye Bo could be considered to have three level-seven heroes.

The card slots in the Hero Compendium were already shining with three flashes, and the overall comprehensive ability buff had reached 3%.

For the current Ye Bo, especially after just receiving a new quest, he felt that every bit of improvement was important!

And the proficiency of level-seven heroes could no longer be improved in the trial grounds; it had to be supplemented in real matches, perhaps to "maintain a real feel."

Fortunately, three games a day didn't even count as an appetizer for Ye Bo's training volume.

Five hours later.

Ye Bo checked the time again, took off his headset, and turned his head: "Saint Gun Brother, are you going to sleep? If you are, I won't play anymore, otherwise I'll disturb you."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Li Xuanjun, who had a fanboy smile on his face, saw the other person turn around and also took off his headset.

"I said, if you're going to sleep, I won't play anymore."

"I'll be sleeping late today, there's a new anime episode out today... wait, you're still playing?"

Li Xuanjun sat up, put on his glasses, walked to the computer, and stared: "You've been playing since you got back? I thought you were playing some small game. You're an iron man!"

"Yeah, the early bird gets the worm, right~"

"You're calling yourself a clumsy bird? Then what am I? I'm nothing!"

"Man, you're too hardworking, no wonder you're so fierce."

Li Xuanjun's voice was filled with exclamation, and it was a genuine one.

Although today was a match day, everyone actually practiced quite a bit during the day, plus those two matches that required high-intensity concentration.

Anyway, after coming back from dinner, Li Xuanjun felt his brain was numb; he just wanted to lie on the bed and look at white-haired, red-eyed schoolgirls to recharge.

Ye Bo just waved his hand with a grin.

"Then I'll play one more game~"

Li Xuanjun looked at the back in front of him, his eyes filled with admiration.

He had a very good impression of this new teammate.

Because he was the one who knew best that this was indeed the other person's norm, not just an occasional thing.

Living and working as a teammate with someone like this, even if you were a slacker, you would be infected, right?

However, Li Xuanjun had just felt the fire ignite in his body before his attention was quickly seduced away by the 2D characters on his tablet...

Ye Bo's driving force was actually very simple.

Now he had an opportunity and a path for progress.

And he really wanted to stand higher, be seen by more people, and prove the value and meaning of his dreams.

That's why he should work hard!

If you just want it but don't put in the corresponding effort, do you deserve it?

If you don't practice much in your youth, you'll suffer in your old age.

In the field of esports, this is almost a historical testimony!

Working hard during the stage when your physical talent can be developed the most is much more useful than realizing it at the end of your career.

The last match ended with a 15-minute surrender; it ended very quickly.

Ye Bo took a look.

11:55 PM, only 5 minutes until 12:00.

Because the daily reset time for the trial grounds is 12:00, his 10-hour safety quota for today had already been used up, and there was nowhere to use it even if he were early.

To maximize training time, the key was to start right at this time.

But since there were still five minutes left.

Ye Bo thought for a moment, took out his phone from under his pillow, and searched for [Anti-Pressure Bar].

Even though he knew the content in the "Old Man's Diary" had nothing to do with him and hadn't happened in reality—in fact, the reality was the complete opposite "counter-attack" ending.

But thinking that it might actually be what he originally experienced in the future.

It was still a bit unpleasant.

At this time, the strategic significance of the restroom was reflected.

Almost without needing targeted searches, the current esports restroom was full of boomerang targets regarding Doinb; it was very lively.

【To be fair, is Doinb the fastest-fading champion mid-laner? It's really a bit funny ^^】

【Getting crushed in lane by a rookie playing in the LPL for the first time, you should just honestly play mid-lane Nautilus and mid-lane fighters. By the way, whose problem was it in Iceland last year, no need to say more, right?】

【Don't be biased, be careful or the room moderator will track your IP and smash your heads one by one!】

【Tell a joke: Doinb once said on stream that he was a top-three Taliyah, but he didn't say where he was top-three, so I guess it's top-three in KPL.】

【Not to mention, Jie-ye is worthy of being a rookie who broke the rookie price record. You get what you pay for, unlike (】

After reading the poisonous words of the maggots, and even seeing the comparative praise for himself, his hunger was swept away.

"This is reality~"

As for the diary... just wait!

Ye Bo silently set a flag in his heart; one day, he would "avenge" everything for the old man.

Thinking of this.

Ye Bo suddenly remembered one more thing he hadn't done.

He opened Bilibili and edited text in the dynamic column of his personal space.

"Brothers, Taliyah was pretty good today, right!"

But just as the text was sent, a prompt box immediately popped up before his eyes.

[Congratulations! Hidden task completed!]

[Congratulations on receiving the reward: "Livestreaming Meme-Stealing Physique"]

"Good grief, so the hidden task is just stealing memes."

"But that doesn't seem right either; this is something I played, isn't it? It's mine!"

"Can you call what a professional does stealing!"

After finishing all this, the time finally arrived, and Ye Bo finally went to sleep happily.

His consciousness appeared in another space.

"Let me think, the next opponent is..."
