The competition venue is located in the Giant Stadium in the city center, and at this moment, it is packed with people, bustling with excitement.
The stands are filled to capacity, with spectators waving their glow sticks and cheering loudly, the deafening roar seemingly ready to lift the entire stadium's roof.
Li Ran, wearing a mask and pulling down his hat brim, blends into the crowd, appearing inconspicuous.
He is dressed in all black casual wear and carries a black backpack, looking like an ordinary esports enthusiast.
Li Ran navigates through the crowded area to the players' lounge and finds his seat.
He takes out his phone from the backpack and opens the official Metaverse event app to check the match roster.
The participants come from all over the world, including some renowned esports experts.
Li Ran's gaze sweeps across the list of names before finally landing on a familiar one—Victor.
"Victor..." Li Ran murmurs the name softly, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
Victor is the captain of the famous esports team "Starlight" in Metaverse and was once Li Ran's training target.
Li Ran remembers that he spent an entire week studying Victor's gameplay habits and tactical style to complete a high-paying bounty task.
In the end, Li Ran successfully defeated Victor in a match and earned a substantial reward.
Li Ran originally thought he would never see Victor again in his lifetime.
Unexpectedly, fate played its tricks, and they would meet again in such a way.
“Hunter? Is that really you?”
A surprised voice came from behind Li Ran.
Li Ran turned around to see a tall young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and dressed in a suit standing behind him, his face filled with disbelief.
“You don’t remember me? I’m Zhao Kai!” The young man took off his glasses, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and an unmistakable pride. “Back when we formed the band together, you were our guitarist!”
“Zhao Kai…” As Li Ran looked at the young man before him, the gates of memory finally opened, and scenes from the past flooded back.
Zhao Kai, Li Ran's classmate from high school, was also the keyboardist of the band "Reverse Scale."
Zhao Kai’s father was a well-known local entrepreneur, and he came from a wealthy family.
At school, Zhao Kai was always the center of attention, while Li Ran was just a poor kid from an ordinary family.
Despite this, Li Ran's guitar talent caught Zhao Kai's eye, and they became friends as a result.
Later, at Zhao Kai's suggestion, they formed the band "Reverse Scale" along with their classmate Wei Ziyang.
After its establishment, "Reverse Scale" caused quite a stir at school. They were frequently invited to participate in various cultural performances and gained some fame within the school.
However, the good times did not last long. The "Reverse Scale" band eventually disbanded for various reasons, and the relationship between Li Ran, Zhao Kai, and Wei Ziyang also fell apart.
"It really is you, Li Ran!" Zhao Kai walked up to Li Ran and patted his shoulder hard. "What are you doing here for this competition? Aren't you..."
Zhao Kai suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if realizing something, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.
"What do you mean I'm not?" Li Ran looked at Zhao Kai and asked calmly.
"Nothing, nothing..." Zhao Kai's gaze shifted away, unable to meet Li Ran's eyes. "I'm just surprised; I didn't expect you to come to this competition."
"You think I don't qualify to participate in such a high-level competition, right?" Li Ran interrupted Zhao Kai coldly.
"I..." Zhao Kai was startled by Li Ran's sudden anger and quickly replied, "I didn't mean it that way..."
"Li Ran, long time no see."
A clear and pleasant voice came from behind Zhao Kai, carrying a hint of complex emotions.
Li Ran and Zhao Kai turned their heads simultaneously to see a tall girl with short hair cut to her ears, dressed in a white tracksuit, standing behind them with a faint smile on her face.
"Ziyang..." Li Ran looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes suddenly brightening. His mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't find the words to say for a long time.
