Chapter 1304 - End Game (44)

Shen Liangchuan was known as a high-quality celebrity, so no matter where he went he would be the focus of attention.

On this very day, he had very successfully attracted the attention of the fans at the competition venue.

Especially his daring movements and lightning speed maneuvering during the match. He shone in everyone’s eyes.

Everyone’s eyes were now trained on the stage, looking at him extremely seriously.

He said with his usual calmness, “I first came into contact with eSports more than ten years ago. Currently, I’m way over the optimum age for eSports. I’m afraid today’s match is probably my last in my eSports career.”

All the fans present were at once crestfallen when they heard these words.

It had also been like this many years ago. Zi Chuan had been like a new and rising star, and then he had vanished.

Once again, he was like a night-blooming flower that was about to face daybreak.

But he was right.

He was too old. After the age of 25, the mental and physical reflexes of a gamer would start to decline, and if he continued taking the important positions, he would become CQ’s liability.

He had spent the best years of a gamer’s life being an actor, he had missed out on his greatest dream and passion.

However...

Standing before the crowd, he continued, “I remember, nine years ago, when our country didn’t have professional eSports team clubs. When it was called gaming, we were completely beaten to pulp by a certain team from country H. They provoked and taunted us, saying that we China could not defeat them.”

The moment these words were spoken, all the fans at the event looked at King at once.

They glared at him with a critical eye, full of suspicion and disdain.

The host said immediately, “But today you’ve led your team to defeat them.”

Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and said, “No, King is only a foreign player. Today we merely defeated SX Team. My hope is to take this to the world out there, my wish is for our eSports to soar further and higher.”

The host applauded.

Everyone among the audience clapped their hands wildly.

Qiao Lian looked at her man with her head held high.

Countless times in the past, she had looked at him with the same sort of admiration in her eyes.

She admired him when she looked at the TV. She admired him when she saw him on those high rise buildings with huge advertising screens. And even as a reporter, she had looked at him with admiration every time they had run into each other at award ceremonies.

But at the time, he had been a man of few words.

Even when he was given the Best Male Lead Award for the first time and became a Best Actor, the only thing he had said when he went up on stage was an impassive, “Thank you.”

Everyone thought he was a man of few words, but what they didn’t realize was that all these things weren’t what mattered to him most.

ESports was his dream and passion.

Hence today, he spoke alot more than usual.

Looking at him, her heart swelled with pride.

The host laughed and continued, “Best Actor Shen- No, wrong. Perhaps on the stage here, I should call you Zi Chuan. So Zi Chuan, a personal question for you, and I think this is everyone’s question too. What other dreams and passions do you have now?

The crowd fell silent upon hearing this question.

They all looked at Shen Liangchuann/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qiao Lian also looked at him intently. Like the scores of fans he had, she wanted to know what other dreams and passions he had.

And right at this moment, she heard him saying unhurriedly, “Xiao Qiao, please marry me.”
