Lu Chuan looked at the expectant He Changge, feeling a bit reluctant to tell him that in that year, the old team and Gao Dewei both suffered greatly, not even making it out of the group stage, and ultimately ended up in a dire situation.
This guy, strolling around in a flashy white outfit in the rain, had made Lu Chuan think he was a king of cool, but he never expected He Changge to be like this.
From this question, Lu Chuan picked up some key information: He Changge knew about Wei Shen's choice of skin, whether it was the Moonlight or the Riven, but he didn't know the result of the World Championship, which suggested that he had come to this world in October 2015.
Furthermore, given the level of information exchange among the time travelers in this world, the fact that He Changge still didn't know the result of the 2015 World Championship indicated that no one had traveled to this world since October 2015.
If this hypothesis holds true, then the events from 2015 to 2021 might become his informational advantage in this world, and it would remain exclusive until a new time traveler arrives and is discovered.
"Uh, that year, the old team didn't even make it out of the group stage..."
He Changge paused in the act of pouring tea, "Bro, don't joke around. With Wei Shen and Taobao Quan in the jungle, Imp and Hiyori in the bottom lane, how could they not make it out of the group stage?"
Lu Chuan couldn't explain the tragic stories of three Iron Men, Fire Men, and a Hammer of a Sion, so he cleverly changed the topic, "Later, the LPL rose up. IG won the first championship in S8, and we also won in S9 and S11. Before I came here, EDG had just won the championship."
"Damn, Mingkai won the championship?!"
"Not exactly, Mingkai didn't go. You know, when that EDG won, only Meiko was still there. Fat General and Tong Wudi had already retired, and Mr. Dai had returned to the LCK. The only player you might recognize is Saint Gun, the top laner from the Snake team."
He Changge fell silent, drank a cup of tea, and then refilled it and drank another.
A few years can change a lot, and the past quickly becomes a story and history.
"Too bad, if we had met on Earth, after eating late-night snacks, we would have gone to a net cafe to play together all night, showing you my skills. I was a pro at Yasuo back then, hahaha."
He Changge's expression returned to normal, and he refilled his cup, raising it to clink with Lu Chuan's.
Lu Chuan quickly raised his cup, and the two cups lightly touched, making a "ding" sound.
Perhaps their shared hobby brought them closer, and at this moment, he felt that the guy in front of him was a real fellow countryman, a "brother."
...
"He, didn't you say you were going to take me back to the sect?"
Lu Chuan followed He Changge through the alleys of Beining City, but couldn't help but speak up. The streets were already empty, and the surroundings didn't look like a sect at all, more like a residential area.
"Here, be quiet, don't talk." He Changge stopped in front of a courtyard gate, pressed his ear to the door, and listened for any movement inside.
Lu Chuan couldn't understand his actions, which looked more like a thief than a good person.
"Go." Just as Lu Chuan was about to step forward, He Changge grabbed him and leaped over the wall into the courtyard.
Still in shock, Lu Chuan noticed that He Changge, who was holding his shoulder, had frozen in place.
A very pretty girl stood in the courtyard, expressionless, looking at He Changge as he climbed over the wall.
"Old He, you didn't come home last night." The girl's clear voice was pleasant, but Lu Chuan sensed that He Changge was a bit nervous. And shouldn't she call him Senior Brother He, not Old He?
Isn't this girl your junior sister? Why are you nervous? Could it be...
But this girl is clearly not an adult, Old He, you're too much, right?
"Momo, let me explain, Master sent me to save him..."
The girl didn't wait for He Changge to finish and turned to go to the back yard. Lu Chuan inwardly sighed, feeling that she was not an easy person to get along with.
"Is this the junior sister you mentioned, He?" Lu Chuan asked in a low voice after the girl disappeared.
"Yes, Old Jiang and Aunt Li's daughter, Jiang Mo. I've watched her grow up, isn't she cute?" He Changge's tone was slightly boastful.
Cute, cute, you're getting more and more perverted.
This topic couldn't continue, so Lu Chuan looked around the courtyard and changed the subject, "Our sect is quite unique, isn't it?"
"There are only four of us. Having this courtyard is already pretty good. Old Jiang bought it with a loan two years ago and is still paying off the mortgage. When I first came, Old Jiang and Aunt Li were still living in the staff dormitory of the college." He Changge understood what Lu Chuan meant and rolled his eyes.
Buying a house is hard in any world, right?
"Come, I'll show you to the guest room. Old Jiang just messaged me, saying the matter has been resolved, and he'll be back early tomorrow morning."
He Changge led Lu Chuan to the guest room, which was very clean, with new bedding and sheets, much better than what Lu Chuan had in his village.
"Rest early, bro, I'm off." He Changge stretched and prepared to return to his room.
Lu Chuan felt a mix of emotions, gratitude for being saved and the warmth of meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land. He didn't know how Old Jiang would handle him when he returned, but he was determined to repay this kindness one day.
"Thanks, He, for saving me today..."
He Changge quickly turned back and waved his hand, "Damn, don't be so formal. We're both from China, it's just a helping hand."
"Right, remember what I told you about the junior sister not being one of us?" He Changge's expression suddenly changed, and he whispered, "Whatever you do, don't reveal it."
Lu Chuan solemnly agreed, and He Changge left the guest room. As soon as he sat on the bed, exhaustion washed over him.
But he couldn't rest immediately. He had gathered a lot of information today and needed to organize and summarize it. Without a computer, he had to rely on his memory.
Old Jiang and Aunt Li were a married couple and both time travelers. Given that He Changge mentioned the Beining College when he first arrived in the city, it could be inferred that they were staff members of the college.
They went to Zhenbei Pass and even had the authority to resolve the misunderstanding between him and Zhao Wuyi, suggesting they were among the top-tier in strength. However, it seemed odd that such strong individuals were working as staff at Beining College. Adding to this, He Changge mentioned that Wuguo was hostile to time travelers, so these people might be spies or agents?
He Changge was a pretty nice guy, and even without the filter of shared interests in League of Legends and the gratitude for saving him, he was still easy to get along with. His strength was unknown, but from his words, he seemed quite confident.
Then there was Jiang Mo, a 13-15 year old girl who seemed difficult to get along with. Staying up late in the courtyard, she was likely waiting for He Changge and her parents to return.
He Changge clearly valued Jiang Mo, and her parents seemed to dote on her, making her the person in this small group that one should avoid provoking.
The realm of Divine Power could shake the earth and change the world, and the Extraordinary realm was even more powerful. However, the strongest person couldn't kill him with a single thought from a distance, indicating that their power had limits.
Comparing the top-tier strength, it should be stronger than "Zhu Xian," but not as strong as "Zhe Tian," perhaps on par with "Jiang Ye."
There were also the terms "first generation" and "channel," whose meanings were still unknown. Once the coin's cooldown was over, he would have to make good use of it...
In a daze, Lu Chuan drifted off to sleep.
