The sky was covered with dark clouds, there was no starlight, and even the moon was pulled into the clouds, and today's night sky was particularly gloomy. Xiao Xin stood on the top floor and looked up at the sky, but it was dark, so he had to lower his head and look at the steel forest under his feet.

"That should be fine, right?"

Xiao Xin asked Ah Ming next to him

In the evening.

In FF's room, everyone sat in a circle, but no one spoke. Everyone felt a lot of pressure because of FOSE's conditions, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy for a while. As the captain, Xiao Xin knew that he had to cheer everyone up, so he said:

"Don't think too much about it, no matter what, it's our goal to be a champion. And now, we have to think about tomorrow's game, and next month's national finals! ”

Xiao Xin looked at everyone's reactions and continued:

"We have to remember that for the FF team, the real stage is not China, but the world!"

Hearing this, Qi Zai raised his head suddenly, with a shocked and encouraging look on his face, he had always thought that entering the FF team, being able to train and compete with TopOne was already the greatest success, but he never thought that entering the world was such an unattainable goal. And Xiao Xin's words made him suddenly wake up: it turns out that he also has the opportunity to become the "world's top"! Qizai felt extremely excited, and the confusion caused by "disbandment" and "retirement" just now had been left behind in an instant.

Looking at Xiao Xin's radiant expression and confident eyes, Xiao Tian also smiled, for her, as long as Xiao Xin was confident, she was not afraid of anything. Li Hong's eyes showed a look of appreciation and admiration, she always felt that Xiao Xin was a different man, self-confidence, courage and leadership temperament, such a man made any woman irresistible, but it was a pity

Chen Ling on the side was in a trance, as if he hadn't heard Xiao Xin's words at all, since he met Fose in the afternoon, Chen Ling had been looking absent-minded. Xiao Xin and Ah Ming glanced at each other, both of them were a little puzzled, what happened between Chen Ling and Fose?

"Of course no problem, I said it all, you are a natural captain. However, I'm a little worried about Chen Ling. ”

Armin said half-lying on the railing by the balcony. Xiao Xin nodded:

"Have you noticed? In the afternoon, Fose whispered something to Chen Ling before leaving. ”

"Captain, I heard a little."

A clear and beautiful voice sounded behind him, and Xiao Xin said without looking back:

"Little sister, what did you hear?"

Before the words fell, a beautiful face with a slightly angry expression appeared in front of Xiao Xin's eyes.

"I hate it, I'm not a little sister! The perverted spy said 'Nana'. ”

“Fut.Nana？ Is Chen Ling actually related to her? ”

Ah Ming said in surprise, Xiao Xin waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, it's useless for us to guess about such a thing, it's you, little sister, go and prepare for tomorrow's game with Chen Ling."

"Don't prepare, I'll abstain tomorrow."

Chen Ling also appeared on the top floor, and at this time he had regained his cold expression, but his eyes became more determined.

"Abstaining?! Do you look down on me?! ”

Xiao Tian's eyes widened and she screamed excitedly, looking like she would go berserk at any moment. Xiao Xin put his hand on Xiao Tian's shoulder and motioned for her to calm down. Looking at Chen Ling, Xiao Xin said solemnly:

"You're not a person who doesn't respect your opponent, can you tell me why you abstained?"

"I'm sorry, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't play."

Chen Ling lowered his head, but his eyes remained firm. With that, he turned and walked towards the door. He looked up and found that Xiao Tian had blocked the way.

"What could make you quit the game?"

Xiao Tian had calmed down, but her delicate body was firmly in the doorway. Chen Ling's abstention is obviously related to that weird fose, how can you rest assured if you don't ask about this matter?

"Old Zero, is it because of Nana?"

Ah Ming asked tentatively, and Chen Ling's body shook. After a long time, he sighed, walked to the railing, looked at the faint moonlight in the sky, and muttered:

"Nana: That was a year ago"

Emei in April, the spring is bright, the green mountains and green forests, and the tourists come and go in an endless stream. Chen Ling was alone, slowly walking down the stone stairs to the top of the mountain. The sun shines warmly on the body through the gaps in the green leaves, the spring breeze passes through the green trees, gently caresses the face, gentle as a lover's embrace, looking up, it is indeed a April day in the world.

Looking at the people walking by around him laughing and full of interest, Chen Ling's heart was like ashes, and he couldn't hold off the slightest spirit. Lost again, and as in last year, was eliminated in the first round, alas! Since forming the FF team with his friends Xiaopang and Hao Jian, this year is the second time to participate in the WCG, and the result is still stopped in the first round, and even the score has not changed: 1 to 3, except for Chen Ling, everyone else lost. This is actually an expected ending, because only Chen Ling is strong in this team, while the others are too far behind.

Chen Ling closed his eyes, he seemed to see the scene when he was eliminated two days ago, Xiaopang and Xiaobai said to him with a guilty face:

"I'm sorry, Zero, it's us who dragged you down!"

At the wine table, Xiaopang said slightly drunkenly:

"Zero, this team will only waste your talents, you might as well give up on us!"

When he opened his eyes, the sun was still shining and the spring breeze was still pleasant, but after today, he could only survive in the dark. Because, in order to raise enough funds for the team, he will throw himself into the underground arena and become a despised "shadow".

Unconsciously, he had climbed halfway up the mountain, Chen Ling avoided the crowd and found a quiet place to sit down and rest, those happy and happy people were really not compatible with him at this moment. At this time, Chen Ling saw a picture that he will never forget: on the edge of a steep cliff, beautiful blonde hair fluttering in the wind, slender and graceful arms gently stretched, a girl standing on the edge of the cliff with her eyes closed, and the bottomless abyss surrounded by clouds and mist under her feet. A strong wind swept by, the girl's body seemed to be shaky, Chen Ling didn't have time to think about it, rushed over and hugged her, the girl exclaimed, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

"Why don't you think so?"

Chen Ling was stunned in the middle of his words, because he saw her face and eyes clearly, Chen Ling never thought that there was such a beautiful face and eyes in the world. The dark blue pupils are as deep and mysterious as the ocean, the nose is tall and delicate, and the lips are slightly smiling. "A fairy? Or a goddess? Such a thought suddenly popped into Chen Ling's mind.

The girl casually tucked the blonde hair in front of her forehead, and still smiled at Chen Ling in a position lying on the ground:

"Do you think I'm going to kill myself? Hee-hee, fun! ”

Chen Ling came back to his senses, quickly withdrew the hand that was still holding her shoulder, stood up awkwardly, and said:

"You're standing in such a dangerous place, I thought"

The girl smiled, sat up, and looked down the cliff, a look of loneliness in her eyes.

"I just wanted to try what it would be like to fly."

The loneliness that flashed in her eyes made him feel a trace of inexplicable heartache, and Chen Ling sat next to the girl.

"What's your name?"

"Nana, what about you?"

“NO.0。”

"What a strange name."

"The same goes for you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Chen Ling looked at her face, and Nana looked at him without shyness.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"Is this how you Chinese boys talk to beautiful women?"

Nana smiled, Chen Ling was speechless, in fact, he had never taken the initiative to talk to a girl, he just felt that Nana was very familiar.

"Traveling to China?"

"There's no such thing as a spare."

Nana sighed and stretched, her posture languid and graceful, and Chen Ling found that his heart was beating faster.

"I was invited to the event."

"Oh? Are you still a celebrity?"

"It's okay, it's just a little boring."

The two of them sat on the edge of the cliff like this, and before they knew it, it was almost dusk. Chen Ling had forgotten what they had said, he just had a strong feeling - wishing that time had stopped.

It's a pity that good times are always short-lived. A cacophony of ringtones broke the harmony, and Nana frowned and pulled out her phone.

"Hey! Fose, what's the matter? ”

Somehow, at this moment, Chen Ling felt a kind of majesty and momentum in Nana, which was like a leader's temperament.

"Got it, I'll be right back."

Nana put down the phone, regained her cute little woman's demeanor, and grimaced at Chen Ling.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving, you can watch the sunset slowly."

Looking at her graceful back disappearing from sight with the setting sun, Chen Ling suddenly had a dreamlike feeling. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again in the future, maybe, it's just a beautiful dream.

The next day, late at night.

The underground arena, crazy and noisy, copper stinks and naked. In the hoarse shouts of the audience and gamblers, today's last game was finally over, all the lights in the stadium were instantly extinguished, and Chen Ling walked out of the black glass room and retreated to the backstage under the cover of darkness. He was a little tired, he was very uncomfortable playing in this environment for the first time, but fortunately he won, he can earn a lot, and the team should have enough money for this week.

"NO.0, it's really you."

As if in a dream, the beautiful blonde hair suddenly appeared in front of him, and the dark blue eyes shone with a charming brilliance.

“Nana？！”

Chen Ling exclaimed in surprise that he was really happy to see her again.

"I forgot to tell you, I'm also a Warcraft player."

Nana smiled faintly, but her face was no longer as relaxed and casual as yesterday, replaced by a compelling confidence and majesty, at this time, she and the girl "flying" on the edge of the cliff are almost like two people.

Chen Ling's heart sank, and he finally remembered why he felt that she was very familiar, because she was the captain of the Fut team, one of the top three in the world, and the strongest female player in the world, Fut.Nana. All good illusions are shattered at this moment, and the gap between him and her is too far.

"Captain, it's better to come to this kind of place less, it will affect your image!"

Behind Nana, a man with braided hair said. Nana ignored him and said to Chen Ling:

"You're good enough to be in our second team. What do you think? Want to join? ”

"No, I already have a clan."

"Really? That's a pity. Good bye. ”

"Wait a minute!"

"Anything else?"

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

Although he knew that it was impossible, Chen Ling still said what was in his heart, he knew that maybe the two would never have a chance to meet again in the future.

Instead of sneering as expected, Nana just looked him in the eye fixedly, neither rejecting nor accepting.

"Hahaha! Do you want to be Nana's boyfriend? It's funny! Hahaha! ”

Fose bent over with a smile and continued as he gasped:

"Do you want me to test him for you, Captain?"

Nana didn't say a word, just nodded.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Ling lost, and there was no suspense in the loss, and he was led by the nose by Fose throughout the game. Whether it is operation, awareness or tactics, he is a notch behind.

Nana smiled at the frustrated Chen Lingyan, just like the beautiful goddess yesterday.

"Hehe, you're very direct, I like it. However, if you are a boyfriend, I'll talk about it when you win! ”

Fose laughed again:

"Haha, you want to be Nana's boyfriend too? Bite off more than one can chew! ”

"You're still far away, if you want to chase me, you have to work hard! Bye. ”

Chen Lingban leaned on the railing and exhaled, recalling that it was really tiring.

"I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with this iceberg! It's romantic! ”

Xiao Tian was a little fascinated by this, and completely forgot about tomorrow's game.

"What about second in the world? I've got your back, defeat her, and chase her down! ”

Xiao Tian patted Chen Ling's shoulder vigorously like a boy, completely ignoring her ladylike image.

"So, what does this have to do with your abstention?"

Xiao Xin still grasped the point.

"Nana, let me test you again. Tomorrow, I'll wait for you! ”

Chen Ling took out a note with the name and address of a certain online city written on it.

"This was given to me by Fose, and I guess it's the place for testing."

Chen Ling looked at Xiao Xin, Xiao Tian and Ah Ming, and said very seriously:

"No matter what, I have to go, I have to know how much stronger I have become!"

Today is the last day of the Southwest Regional Qualifiers for the Individual Ranking Competition, and the atmosphere in the Shenghua Auditorium is unprecedentedly warm, because the finals are about to start - Xiao Tian VS Xiao Xin.

At the same time, Chen Ling came to the place agreed with Fose.

The battle on both sides is about to begin
