The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Victory!" "Yes, we won!"

"Defeat!" "Sigh, we lost again!"

The crescent moon shines over the whole country, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.

That's how competitions are; there are wins and losses. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and so is life (am I being a bit too sentimental?).

"We've finally won!" Sun Wukong laughed wildly.

"Is he crazy?" Xu Xiaomeng looked at Sun Hou in surprise. Could it be that Sun Hou lost his mind because he won the competition and became the champion?

"Hehe, I won the city championship, I have to post something to brag about it, then my chubby brother will be famous!" The chubby guy in the audience was quietly posting on social media. Now that he's won the city championship, won't he become a star at school? Then, all the girls, especially those who play Honor of Kings, will have to worship my chubby brother, right? The chubby guy kept fantasizing.

Sima Yi nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that this kid really knew how to come up with something unexpected, and he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve...

As for the rest of their team, they stood aside with dark faces. This team was hastily put together by Xing Feng and didn't even have a team name, but at least they won third place. However, the champion was that kid Han Cheng, and Xing Feng felt displeased when he thought of this.

"You guys are very strong. Now I think it was just luck that we were able to beat your team yesterday." The captain of the Summer team took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with Han Cheng, which was quite gentlemanly.

Although Han Cheng wasn't the team leader, he was still pushed forward. He was responsible for everything from shaking hands to running errands to buy drinks. In their words, "the capable should do more," but Han Cheng felt that his hands were almost sore from shaking hands.

"It's nothing, we were just lucky to beat your team!" Han Cheng wanted to say something like that his team was just that strong, but he felt it would be impolite, so he didn't...

They exchanged a few insincere words, such as "Your team is really strong, we accept our defeat wholeheartedly"... and then the host went on stage to announce the champion.

"The champion of the King of Glory City Tournament in Pingshan has been decided: the Miracle Team from Pingshan No. 1 Middle School! They had one chance to revive, but they didn't use it. They've only lost once in the city tournament so far, making them an extremely strong team. Their victory is well-deserved. Let's give them a round of applause!" After the beautiful host finished speaking, applause from the audience was continuous. For a moment, Han Cheng forgot all about the fear of praise and the joy of criticism. He was enjoying the applause and cheers, not because he felt proud, but because he enjoyed the honor he had earned through hard work. King of Glory, King of Glory always belongs to the king.

"Now let's invite God from Team Snow to personally present the award to the winning team!" the host announced. Han Cheng was a little surprised. God from Team Snow would actually come to present the award to his own team? God, the main mid laner and captain of Team Snow, is very strong and has unique insights into the mid lane position (this introduction seems pretty bad). It's quite good that he can personally present the award to his own team.

After speaking, Han Cheng called Fatty onto the stage, waiting for God, dressed in a blue and white team uniform, to come and present him with an award, along with a prize of 60,000 yuan. This was what Han Cheng was most concerned about; after all, his family was poor (the author's family was also very poor, even poorer than the protagonist's), so having money was naturally a good thing. As for the autographed poster, Han Cheng wasn't too interested; at most, he could sell it for scrap metal for three cents a pound…

God smiled and handed the trophy and autographed poster to Han Cheng, who was taking the trophy. He patted Han Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Young and promising, you're much better than me. Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Han Cheng said. This god was of medium build and quite handsome, although not as handsome as himself (ー_ー)!!, and he was also quite friendly. Han Cheng was looking forward to meeting him on the field in the future.

After receiving the trophy and poster, Han Cheng also received a check for 60,000 yuan. He still liked the smell of money!

Secondly, the Summer team, which won the runner-up title, and the Xingfeng team, which won the third place, also received awards.

The Honor of Kings City Tournament has now come to an end.

"Kid, don't forget to call me when you get back!" Sima Yi instructed Han Cheng before leaving the stadium. Han Cheng was puzzled as to why this guy insisted on contacting him. Also, was his sister pretty? She should be about his age, maybe... hehe!

"How about we go out for a meal?" Sun Wukong suggested to Fatty. "And it would be best to invite the homeroom teacher too," Fatty added.

Although it wasn't lunchtime yet, and the homeroom teacher didn't seem to have anything to do with their team winning the championship, this was probably just the fat guy's way of flattering him. He was indeed a master of sycophancy!

"It's not even lunchtime yet, what's the rush?" Xu Xiaomeng said, glancing at her watch which showed only a little past three o'clock.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now," Qin Li said. "Oh, right, there's one more thing. I was wondering if you have any plans to participate in the King of Glory professional league."

"Yes!" Han Cheng blurted out. Xu Xiaomeng and Ye Bing nodded in agreement. Sun Hou and Fatty said they didn't care, as long as they could earn the prize money to eat...

After listening to their answers, Qin Li nodded in satisfaction and said that he would definitely conquer all directions and win one championship after another in the future. This was the first time Han Cheng had heard Qin Li say so much.

Ye Bing revealed Qin Li's true feelings—

Although Qin Li had a past as a scoundrel, he wasn't a bad person. He started playing Honor of Kings after its release. Qin Li was clever, and his rank reached a high level in a short time. When he saw the professional leagues, he dreamed of one day standing on the podium and winning his own trophy. Moreover, when the world-class Honor of Kings competitions were launched, Qin Li said he was determined to win a championship for China and bring glory to the country. For this ideal, he had been looking for a reliable team, and now the Miracle Team was a perfect choice.

"So Brother Qin is quite the radical!" Han Cheng exclaimed. He hadn't expected Qin Li to be as patriotic as he was. Han Cheng's patriotism was no joke; he wouldn't watch Japanese anime, games, or dramas—which might seem like a bit too radical, but actually, he just didn't understand them and had no interest in them. Even with subtitles, he felt awkward…

So the group agreed to go out for a meal when it was time to eat. The location was Pizza Hut in the city center, which was Sima Yi's restaurant.

But before that, should we give him a call?

"Alright, let's fight!" Han Cheng pulled out his business card. "Sima Yi's phone number..."

I found the number, dialed it, and after ringing for a while, someone answered...

"Hello, may I ask who you are—" What? The person who answered the phone was actually a beautiful woman? Although Han Cheng couldn't see what she looked like, he guessed she probably wasn't ugly.

"I... I'm looking for Mr. Sima Yi, did I dial the wrong number?" Han Cheng stammered.
