“Hello, please turn on the machine.”

>

A vibrant and energetic voice entered his ears. The IT guy, who was sitting at the front desk and using his work time to watch videos on his phone, suddenly got up and closed his phone screen.

Perhaps he was new here and didn't have much skill in "fishing" for information. He and his phone weren't well-coordinated, so after the screen turned off, the speaker still played video sounds.

"Congratulations to EDG for winning the 2015 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational, Factory Manager's Widowmaker proved himself!"

This is last year's EDG championship video. The sound wasn't loud, but the customer still heard it.

A soft chuckle came from behind the counter, and the network administrator scrambled to put their phone on silent.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

After he had finished everything, he finally looked up.

The person who came had fair and clean skin, a handsome appearance, a well-proportioned build, about 1.8 meters tall or more. They wore a white hooded sweatshirt and carried a backpack on their shoulders. A smile was still lingering at the corner of their mouth.

It's just about looking at one's face, he's a bit young...

Have you become an adult?

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The network administrator suspiciously pushed the ID card reader on the counter.

The boy took out his ID card from his pocket and slapped it down casually.

The network administrator casually glanced at the photo and, after comparing it, learned the other person's name.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Take care.

That sounds strange.

The system administrator muttered under his breath, then discovered that the other party's birthday was at the end of 1997, confirming they were over 18 years old before handing back their ID card.

Gu Xing put away his documents and scanned the shelves of drinks, finding that they were still dominated by Coca-Cola. Disappointed, he walked past the counter into the store.

This internet cafe, called "Happy Times," wasn't particularly large, with about a hundred machines. Now, most of the seats were filled. League of Legends reigned supreme, with different battle scenes unfolding in each computer screen. The crisp keyboard clicking served as accompaniment, while the chatter of gamers filled the air.

"Ignite, Kai'Sa, ignite!"

"RNM Riven, Q will always hit!"

"Protect me, Lulu!"

"If you're this bad at the game, why not go home and raise pigs!"

Passing through the clamor of a group of young people, Gu Xing found an idle computer numbered 077 in the non-smoking area. The wall behind the monitor was covered with wallpaper depicting beer barrels, and next to the Beer Man was a line of text: "Happy times are about to begin!"

He pressed the power button.

A national ID card was entered on the desktop, and the time displayed in the bottom right corner was 15:57 PM on March 20, 2016.

Opening the TGP on his desktop, Gu Xing's typing speed was astonishing as he entered his QQ account and password to log into the League of Legends client. He then clicked on the Telecom One server.

The next moment, the woman's voice echoed in every corner of the internet cafe.

“To the player online on Unit 77, you are the strongest king from Aetheria. Have fun playing.”

Although most people were absorbed in their games and didn't pay attention to the broadcast, a number of customers without headphones still caught the announcement.

In this era where the King of the River Crab single-handedly defeats the Suburban Dragon, the title of "Electric One" stands out, undoubtedly ranking among the top tier players in the national server of League of Legends.

One district has over a million players, but only 200 positions for the strongest kings. The strength is self-evident.

The young network administrator who had been standing behind the counter heard the broadcast and looked up as well.

Noticing the curious or envious gazes cast upon him, Gu Xingxi was accustomed to it, even returning a sunny smile as if he were not aware of being watched at all.

He took a thermos from his schoolbag, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of warm water.

This internet cafe boss, as always, loves to play flashy moves. He goes from Bronze to Challenger, reporting on every rank imaginable, like he has to tell everyone you're here to play online.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Many high-ranking players, the first few times they get on and see their rank announced, can still feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. But as time goes by, after the initial excitement wears off, being constantly in the spotlight can become uncomfortable and embarrassing.

Gu Xing's personality was unique, and he felt uncomfortable with it.

Besides this internet cafe, Gu Xing has no other options.

My home is connected to a Telecom network, and the connection frequently drops, making it impossible to play online games.

Before Gu Xing came of age, he used the family's desktop computer. Although his heavy academic workload was the main reason he couldn't score higher, frequent internet disconnections also contributed to about 1/3 of it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

His family wasn't wealthy and he had very little spending money. The only place around here offering any sort of deal was Happy Times Internet Cafe, which was running a super-godly promotion for internet fees.

At first, his friends helped him top up 100 yuan for internet data. He could earn ten yuan every time he went "super god" (probably referring to winning a game). From playing during winter break until now, the internet credit on his card hasn't decreased but has actually increased slightly.

Seeing that most of his friends on the list were in games and queues, Gu Xing simply started a solo queue.

At this time, the two players next to him had just finished a ranked match and were leisurely watching how the King of Electricity played the game.

Seeing that Gu Xing was still in line, they started chatting with each other.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"What's the situation in China server right now?"

“The Leopard Girl is really strong, haven't you seen the video of TheShy from Korea playing Leopard Girl? She's insanely fast!” Another person, probably just getting stomped by a Leopard Girl, sounded full of resentment, “How could there be such an OP hero! Her human form Q and W can even restrain monsters, she farms so fast and doesn't take damage. League of Legends designers…”

The player who initiated the conversation, seeing his emotional state, quickly changed the subject.

"I know, I know, I'm asking who has the highest score in 电一 right now?"

"There's proof on TGP, just look for yourself," the person mumbled, "Anyway, all I know is that last showed was the first king in S6, with tons of credibility."

顾行听着他们身旁的讨论，晃动鼠标点击客户端右上角的个人信息，在他“我真的只会打野” ID 下方，他看到了最强王者标志下方的分数显示。

443 points.

In fact, this score is not high, only ranking 155th in the national server.

This season just started on February 1st, so it's been less than 50 days. The points between the top players haven't pulled apart yet. If we get to the mid-season point, 443 points won't be enough.

>

Last year, Gu Xing was knocked down from the strongest king because he didn't play enough and his score wasn't high enough.

Fortunately, the win rate remained high as ever, 77 wins and 22 losses, a total of 99 ranked games with a 77.7% win rate.

Took a look at the national server rankings.

First is Dopa, this king of the commoners who dominated both the Korean and Chinese servers, has now broken through the 1000-win barrier and is heading towards 1100 victory points.

Even high-ranked players like “official” or “GuShouYu” were completely crushed by him, and even JackeyLove, who has been rising in popularity in the last two years, was left 50 points behind.

>

It has to be said, Dopa's ranking speed is truly astonishing.

After Gu Xing finished scanning the electric one king list, he went back to the queue interface.

At this point, most night owl players had already woken up and started their daily ranked climb. Plus, Gu Xing's current score wasn't particularly high, so after waiting for five minutes, he found nine other players and quickly entered the room.

He was on the 5th floor and hadn't even had time to type when he saw a familiar ID.
