With your talent and age, how can you sleep? [Seeking monthly tickets]

Xu Cheng had already vaguely sensed that there was something unusual about the Factory Director's identity.

Whether the other party was a scammer or not, after such a long period of interaction, Xu Cheng leaned towards no in his heart.

If the other party wasn't a scammer, then...

What choice should he make?

After reaching the top rank on the national server, it seemed to prove that he did have a bit of talent when it came to LOL.

But regarding professional players, Xu Cheng's experience for the past decade or so could be said to be completely unknown—

The unknown was the most terrifying.

This was also one of the reasons he needed to take a break.

He needed time to think and weigh his options.

Furthermore, his family... if he really wanted to go pro, how his parents would react was also a problem.

He couldn't accept the 100,000 yuan for now. If he played professionally, it would be one thing, but if he didn't, he had no reason to take their money.

"That's fine. During this time, I'll settle the competition first and think about these things... Anyway, I've deleted all my friends, and he can't influence me anymore."

His thoughts returned, and Xu Cheng put these ideas aside, preparing to focus on the upcoming competition.

[What did you say? The Data Monster actually quit the game?]

[Is that true or false? This gossip is too explosive.]

[Holy crap, it seems real. All the major clubs are going crazy right now... The two places I tried out for last time just contacted me, asking me to try and contact the Data Monster...]

[...!]

In the small group chat.

Previously, after completing a passionate and explosive sniper battle.

Ah Shui and the others were full of high spirits, envisioning how they would dominate the LPL next year, imagining their grand plans.

Suddenly, they heard the devastating news.

Everyone was somewhat stunned and dazed.

Although they seemed to have been in the fiercest competition with Xu Cheng during this period.

Especially Ah Shui, who had taken the initiative to gather people to snipe him, causing countless troubles during his climb to the top.

But, deep down.

These young boys, who were not yet old, had gradually developed a subtle feeling of mutual appreciation, even admiration, for the other party through their many matches and battles with Xu Cheng.

When he reached the top of the national server and consistently held a top-ten rank.

Everyone was filled with heroic spirit, and they had long considered Xu Cheng as "one of their own," even the "big brother" among this group of LPL rookies and S6 veterans.

And at this moment, news suddenly came from outside that their big brother had actually run away first...

We, your loyal subjects, were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

This was too outrageous!

Almost instantly, everyone's hearts were filled with loss and melancholy, anger and confusion.

[No, if the Data Monster leaves, then who is the big brother of our generation? Won't that lead to more controversy...]

[Although we were rivals before, and even though I hated seeing that guy constantly humiliating me, to be honest, I acknowledge his strength. He would definitely achieve great things in the LPL in the future!]

[Really... it's too sudden, I can't accept it. If he leaves, then what's the point of us entering the LPL?]

[Everyone, don't jump to conclusions yet. Everyone is looking for the Data Monster right now, but we are the ones who interacted with him the most. If we look for him together, we will definitely find him and persuade him to come back.]

At this moment, Ah Shui, the backbone of the group, stepped forward.

With a grand gesture, he said with unwavering resolve: [I don't care what the hell he's thinking, he surpassed all of us, and then he ran away? What gives him the right!]

[I've never respected anyone's strength before, he's the first.]

[So, no matter what you guys think, I'll find him, even if it costs me my life, and drag him in front of everyone!]

[We're all entering the LPL next year. The LPL region has been bullied by other regions for so long. With his talent and age, how can he sleep at night?]

[This time, not for the bounties offered by those clubs, but for the future of the LPL, I will go all out. A pearl cannot be covered in dust. Among the new generation of LPL hopes, besides us, he must be included!]

[...!]

[Holy crap! Such vision!]

[I've always recognized Jackey's vision!]

[The AD with the best emotional intelligence and vision is you, alright!]

[That's right, why did he mess with us and then run away? This scumbag, we have to find him!]

[Let's go, let's go, brothers, I'm going to find him. If I can't find him, I won't sleep!]

[Charge!]

Ah Shui's words instantly ignited the youthful passion of these usually arrogant geniuses.

Almost everyone began to head out to look for Xu Cheng.

Countless clubs made the same move. From this day on, Factory Director and Abu embarked on a long and tedious "road to finding him."

"This is someone he encountered three times or more while playing matchmaking, and they were all teammates. It's probably because they were duo queuing, so they know his identity..."

"It's useless, we've already contacted them. They just got lucky and ran into him..."

"And this one, this person spoke to him. Let's try contacting them."

"Damn, this one's a scammer, fake! Almost got tricked!"

"...!"

Time passed day by day.

The entire esports scene, along with some curious viewers, went from being initially high-spirited and confident to sighing and dejected.

Until finally, they became numb and disappointed.

They couldn't find him, not even a single piece of information.

The ID "[Bro! We're rich now!]", which was now famous across the national server, had a record that was as blank as a piece of white paper.

It was as if he had appeared out of thin air, with no past to be found and no future to be seen.

Apart from his extended contact with Factory Director, no one in the industry truly understood him.

"Ephemeral bloom" gradually became Xu Cheng's label.

Like a fleeting meteor, his momentary brilliance dazzled everyone.

Unfortunately, it wasn't eternal, only a flash.

Afterward, he vanished without a trace, leaving no sign.

Half a month, a full half month, and the entire esports scene, countless "kings of the road," couldn't find the slightest trace of Xu Cheng.

Let alone his real identity, the ID that had shaken the entire national server half a month ago had never lit up again since that day.

"Ming Kai, give up. He's really quit the game."

EDG Club.

Abu walked into the training room and found Factory Director still sitting hunched over his computer, just like the previous few days. After finishing a ranked match, he would open the Duowan client to check Xu Cheng's online status.

His bloodshot eyes, like lifeless, ashen fish eyes, made Abu's heart ache.

"No, I know him. He wouldn't do that."

"No, he has his own things to be busy with. I know what you're thinking. You think you're very familiar with him, but you're really not!"

"Don't you feel resentful that you waited for so long and put in so much effort before?"

Hearing this, Factory Director finally looked up at Abu and shook his head.

"I'm not resentful. We were just friends playing together. Neither of us owes the other anything. I just feel like he wouldn't just leave like this."

"At least... he'll give me an answer."

"No! He will definitely give me an answer!"

"Maybe... it'll be today!"
