Chapter 297 Finally
Chapter 297 Finally
Upon hearing the coach's words, everyone stood up, clasped their hands together, and encouraged each other, shouting, "ENG will win!"
After a short break, Qin Chuhuai and the others returned to the stage. The host and commentator were giving a frantic presentation, and the atmosphere on set was extremely tense.
Under the lamplight, Qin Chuhuai's gaze fell unhesitatingly on Shen Ruojun's direction.
In this situation, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous. A year's worth of hard work had led to this moment.
Qin Chuhuai entered this industry with the goal of winning the championship, and now he is only one step away from that trophy.
Not many people can endure year after year, especially in the e-sports industry. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance. He cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake.
Shen Ruoyun caught his gaze, raised the sign in her hand, and shouted loudly, "Go Qin Chuhuai!"
Upon hearing his words, Qin Chuhuai paused, then suddenly laughed and mouthed to Shen Ruojun, "Wait for me."
Shen Ruojun didn't understand lip reading and was somewhat confused, but Qin Chunan could see it clearly and understood it perfectly.
She didn't offer much opinion on her worthless younger brother, but when it came to her sister-in-law, she, as the older sister, didn't mind lending a hand.
"He said he wants you to wait for him," Qin Chunan explained in a low voice, turning to the side.
Shen Ruoyun's body visibly stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. It was already past eleven o'clock, and he himself was unsure whether he could wait for Qin Chuhuai.
However, he still hoped to see the other person lift the trophy, which would fulfill a dream he and Qin Chuhuai had shared.
The match officially began, and Qin Chuhuai entered the hero selection screen.
The audience began to whisper among themselves, discussing which heroes the players would choose.
Qin Chuhuai is considered ENG's ace player, so he naturally receives more attention and is a special target during the draft phase.
However, Qin Chuhuai wasn't too afraid of this, so he let his teammates choose and only made his choice at the very end.
When Shen Ruoyun saw the hero on the screen, she was momentarily dazed, and a cacophony filled her ears.
If he remembered correctly, this was the hero he used when he first met Qin Chuhuai.
It was rarely used after that. The commentator's voice rang in my ears, along with puzzled voices from the back row, "What is he trying to do? How dare Qinghuai?"
"What's going on? Doesn't he know how to play this hero?" The person who spoke probably didn't know much about ENG's past.
"Don't you know this? Last year when he advanced to the semifinals, he picked this hero in one game, made a mistake in the team fight, and I didn't expect him to pick it again this year!" Hearing this, there was a hint of complaint in his tone.
Shen Ruojun didn't take it too seriously, keeping her eyes fixed on Qin Chuhuai, determined to get back up from where he had fallen.
You can't start to be afraid just because of one mistake; if you are, you don't deserve to play professionally.
After confirming the heroes, the match began. Qin Chuhuai remained expressionless, his movements as steady as a rock.
However, the other side seemed to be trying to wage psychological warfare, launching several encirclements and attacks against Qin Chuhuai in the early stages.
Under pressure, Qin Chuhuai returned to the tower to hide after clearing out the soldiers.
But under such intense pressure, he still died once, and the fight was still quite difficult.
The audience's doubts grew louder and louder, and Shen Ruoyun's heart clenched with anxiety, her palms sweating profusely.
But Qin Chuhuai didn't panic. He frantically moved around to farm minions. As long as he could withstand the pressure, his teammates could farm and snowball their economy.
Looking at the economic panel, Qingyan is now in first place overall.
After clearing the jungle, Qingxing initiated a team fight. The opposing team seemed to gradually realize something was wrong and began to target Qingyan.
ENG also realized this. In this game, Qin Chuhuai was in command. After clearing the minion wave, he took advantage of the opponent's inattention to start flanking from behind.
Qin Chuhuai seized the opportunity, circled around to the enemy's backline, and sent a signal to his teammates.
"Qingyan, go up and seduce him." Qingyan understood immediately. With his hero's multiple dashes, he pretended to step forward and created an opening.
As expected, the enemy fell for the trap and suddenly rushed out of the bushes, focusing their firepower on Qingyan.
Qingqian was prepared and immediately stepped forward to shield Qingyan, determined to save Qingyan's life.
Just then, Qin Chuhuai seized the moment when the enemy formation showed a flaw and decisively released his key skill, instantly controlling multiple enemy heroes.
The enemy's health was reduced to half in an instant, and upon seeing this, the teammates swarmed in and launched a fierce attack.
The atmosphere instantly became electric, with deafening cheers from the audience.
The enemy was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and their formation began to fall into disarray.
Qingxing entered from the side and began to reap the rewards, and Qingyan immediately followed up with damage. In a beautiful team fight counterattack, ENG successfully won the team fight.
This turn of events reversed the situation, and Qin Chuhuai's hero began to develop, allowing him to cooperate with his teammates to secure dragons and resources.
However, HBG is a veteran team after all, with excellent mental fortitude and a strong ability to manage their strategy.
They immediately adjusted their tactics, no longer engaging in direct confrontation with ENG, and planned to find an opportunity to strike again with a single-handed shot.
Qingyue moved slightly to the side of the road, as the other side had just revealed a glimpse of her and headed towards Qingyan.
He had to go and provide some relief as soon as possible, but before he could even take a few steps and explore the bushes, a group of offspring suddenly rushed out of the bushes without warning.
Before he could react, the screen went black, which was quite unexpected.
The opposing team seized the opportunity and forced another team fight in the bottom lane. ENG was missing a mid laner, so naturally they couldn't win.
Qingyan and Qingqian were sent away directly, and an outer tower was also given as a bonus.
This move could be said to have reversed the previous momentum, and Shen Ruoyun's heart was in her throat again, with the doubts on the scene rising once more.
"Damn it! Is this even going to work? They just got a slight advantage and they're already giving away points!"
"Is Qing Le blind? She doesn't even know how to explore the grass!"
"I knew it would be like this. Don't even think about it, you can't win."
……
Qin Chuhuai took a deep breath and told himself not to panic. Qing Le was already somewhat unsettled, and her palms were sweating profusely.
"Don't panic, there's still a chance. I'll push down the top lane first and then trade for the dragon."
He instructed his teammates to hold their ground and used his hero's mobility to push lanes and create pressure, minimizing losses.
After this team fight, the opponent's economy began to turn around, and they successively took down the middle tower and the bottom lane second tower, and it looked like they were about to push the high ground.
The resources of the other teammates were also taken away, and two small team fights broke out during this period. ENG did not gain any advantage because of its poor economy.
As time went on, and with the high ground already breached, even the commentators began to lose heart, not to mention the audience at the scene.
At this moment, Qin Chuhuai led the weakened Qingxing and Qingyan back to the base. His expression wasn't very good, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
"Go ENG!!!" Suddenly, a tidal wave of cheers erupted from the crowd.
Shen Ruoyun shouted at the top of her lungs, waving the sign around incessantly. If the situation hadn't prevented it, she would have jumped up and down onto the chair.
The sound seemed to pierce through the noise and gloom of the scene, going straight into Qin Chuhuai's heart.
Qin Chuhuai subconsciously raised his head and glanced in the direction of Shen Ruoyun, his eyes meeting hers.
In an instant, it was as if a force from millions of light-years away was lifting him up.
He took a deep breath, quickly looked away, and calmly analyzed the situation.
"They're taking down Baron. I'll flank and control them, Qingyan will deal damage from the side, Qingqian will protect them, and you two can come over as soon as you revive."
This is their only chance to turn things around; if they fail, it's truly over.
Qin Chuhuai controlled the hero and silently circled around to the enemy's rear, while Qingyan and the other two also reached the edge of the dragon pit.
The enemy team is focused on taking down Baron Nashor, while the support is providing vision. Baron Nashor's health is about to drop to zero.
Qin Chuhuai glanced at the map, seized the opportunity, and decisively rushed into the dragon pit from behind to unleash his ultimate skill, controlling all the enemy's key heroes.
Qingyan and Qingqian quickly followed. Qingyan went all out, dealing massive damage, while Qingqian stayed close to Qingyan to prevent enemy assassins from sneaking up on them.
Just then, Qingxing and Qingle were resurrected and on their way.
The other side wasn't going to be trifled with either; they immediately realized that their first priority was to deal with Qingyan.
Qin Chuhuai's goal was very clear: to steal the dragon and target the enemy's AD carry. The AD carry is the core of late-game damage output, and without him, the team fight is basically over.
Without saying a word, he stepped forward and kicked the enemy AD into the dragon pit. Unfortunately, the dragon cooperated and instantly sent the enemy flying.
Seeing the opponent's health bar disappear, he immediately put on a resurrection armor, and the others rushed towards him.
Qingyan and the other two were dealing with the jungler, and at this moment, they were in no condition to protect themselves.
Qin Chuhuai immediately switched to his "bankruptcy strategy," equipping himself with all his defensive items and managing to kill the enemy AD carry at the last moment before finally collapsing.
The cheers from the audience were deafening, one wave higher than the next, and Qin Chuhuai stared intently at the screen.
The other two also rushed over. With only a sliver of health left, Qingxing flashed forward and stole the dragon at the crucial moment.
"We got it!!! ENG got it!!!" The commentator was so excited he almost spat out his microphone, and the scene erupted in cheers.
The opponent has exhausted all their skills in order to deal with Qin Chuhuai, and their health is also low.
With the support of the dragon, Qing Le can control the situation, while Qing Xing can reap the rewards.
Meanwhile, Qingyan, under Qingqian's extreme protection, miraculously survived and successfully turned the tables on her opponent with a sliver of health remaining.
Finally, the enemy only had one support hero who escaped with low health, and their respawn time was very long, so the outcome was obviously no longer in doubt.
Qin Chuhuai looked in Shen Ruoyun's direction, his smile so wide he couldn't stop grinning, and secretly made a heart shape with his hands for Shen Ruoyun.
Shen Ruoyun stood up excitedly, her hands almost breaking from clapping, her face flushed.
"Attention, host! Attention, host! Your favorability points are full, and your level has reached 100."
Please make your choice within the specified ten minutes. Once confirmed, the choice will take effect immediately and cannot be changed. The countdown has begun.
As soon as she finished speaking, two large options appeared in front of Shen Ruojun.
1. Host Shen Ruoyun requests to return to the original world. This world will erase all memories of the host.
2. The host requests to remain in this world, and everything in the original world will be erased.
With the Baron buff, ENG pushed forward relentlessly, and the enemy was powerless to resist.
ENG quickly destroyed the enemy's base crystal. The moment the match ended, the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers.
Qin Chuhuai stood up and embraced his teammates, and the whole stadium cheered. This would be the greatest honor of their professional careers.
As he held the trophy, Qin Chuhuai's gaze pierced through the crowd and the lights, landing on that small empty space.
In an instant, his mind went blank, and a sense of panic inexplicably rose in his heart.
"Have you seen Junjun?" Qin Chuhuai turned to the others and asked.
Everyone's faces were full of excited smiles, and they were too busy to pay attention to him.
"Huh? Wasn't it just over there a moment ago?"
"That ring is so cool! Let me see yours!"
"The coach asked us to go over for a group photo, and there will be an interview later."
Qin Chuhuai did not get the answer he wanted. His eyes kept searching, hoping to see the person he longed for again.
He instinctively ran off the stage and dashed towards Qin Chunan, shouting, "Sis, where's the person sitting next to you? Where did they go?"
Qin Chunan looked at Qin Chuhuai, who had a worried expression, and was stunned for a moment before realizing, "He just left in a hurry."
"Did he say anything?" Qin Chuhuai's voice trembled slightly, his unease growing stronger.
"No," Qin Chunan replied decisively.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chuhuai turned around and ran out of the venue.
Shen Ruoyun listened to the beeping countdown in her mind and ran very fast.
He now needs to find a secluded place to hide.
Otherwise, if it suddenly disappears, it would give people a huge fright.
Shen Ruoyun felt that she was a kind person and would never do such a thing.
He glanced at the countdown numbers and thankfully he ran fast enough; there were still seven minutes left, enough time for him to find a place.
Shen Ruojun left the venue and found a restroom right next to him. He planned to find a stall inside.
As soon as he entered the room, everything went black, and his hands were handcuffed with a pair of cold, silver bracelets.
Shen Ruoyun: "...", are you sick? Encountering robbers at a time like this.
He instinctively raised his foot as if to kick the person to death, but then pulled his foot back.
He disappeared in a few minutes. Judging from the situation, the other party probably wouldn't want to kill him anytime soon.
If he makes a big commotion at a time like this, it might attract attention again.
"Who are you? I can give you any amount of money you want, just don't lay a hand on me." Shen Ruoyun intended to stop the other person.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she was picked up and carried away by the person who was walking very fast.
Shen Ruoyun was wearing a black hood, which completely obscured his vision, but he still felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
He instinctively rested his chin on the other person's shoulder, and the other person draped a coat over him, but he could still hear the wind and the sound of the rain hitting the ground.
A cool, refreshing scent wafted into my nostrils. "Is that you?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown into the car, and all he heard was the sound of the car door slamming shut.
Shen Ruoyun didn't struggle and simply sat up a little straighter.
At that moment, the hood was suddenly ripped off, revealing Chen Jiaxi.
