Skyroad Pr

Prologue

 
Shanghai, a city filled with high rises, illuminated with all sort of lights, a city that never sleeps . Among the high rises was a building with a delicate fox emblem on it . This building was extremely conspicuous, a local trademark even . This was the Silverfox Club, one of the top competitive gaming clubs in the country .
Deep inside the building was the dormitory for the members and it was currently filled with smoke . Within the room were two people seated across each other .  They took one drag after another from their cigarettes . However, the two were in fact non-smokers . While they smoked, they coughed so hard they were close to tearing .
“Are you really leaving?” Zhou Hong’s eyes were red, “Perhaps there is still a way around this? Please wait a bit more . Skyroad is going to launch this year . That will definitely be a historic game . The club has already invited two helpers from South Korea . With them, our club will definitely have great prospects for the future . Please stay?”
“What does the club plan to do with me if I do stay?” I snubbed out my cigarette and smiled bitterly, “Am I going to continue being a backup?”

“They higher ups have decided to continue using Lin Tu’s tactic for now . I know this is unfair for you . But there will be hope so long as you stay . Isn’t that right?” He was still trying to make me stay .
I shook my head, “Forget it . Since the start of the previous season, the veterans of Silverfox have been leaving one after another . Lin Che left, and Zhou Tian left as well . Even if I stayed, I will be left at the sidelines . ”
“No, that won’t happen . You are the Final Horseman . You are the strongest horseman in the national server!” He clenched his fists as he spoke, getting somewhat agitated .
“Today is the last day of my contract . ” I stood up and carried my Skywarp helmet and the backpack that I had prepared long ago . I then slung the team jacket onto my shoulder, the shiny team emblem still on it, “Zhou Hong, thank you for coming to see me off . ”
“I…” Zhou Hong clenched his teeth and sank into silence .

…
I opened the door . On the familiar corridor was a smart-looking figure . This person was wearing the captain’s uniform of the Silverfox Club . He was Lin Tu, a newcomer that was also lauded as one of the top five tacticians of the national server . He was also the current captain of Silverfox, the person who had led Silverfox into the top eight during the national tournament .
“Are you really leaving?” Lin Tu asked coldly .
 “Yes . ”
I glanced at him before turning to leave .
“Remember!” He raised his voice, his tone filled with confidence, “I will admit that Silverfox had indeed entered the Golden League under your leadership . But I still need to tell you that your tactic is already outdated . Nobody can live forever in his past glory . Face the truth . ”
I remained silent and walked straight till the end of the corridor .
…
“Ding Muchen!”
A different voice rang out . I did not need to look to know who this was . At the other side of the corridor was a person clad in a set of uniform, standing all by herself . This was Su Xiran, a team leader of Silverfox, also the person who had brought me into Silverfox in the past . She spoke, her voice shuddering, “If you must leave, tell me where you’re going . ”
“Anywhere will do . ” I stopped walking and replied softly .
“I already saw your retirement announcement on your Weibo . Skyroad is going to launch soon . Will you start gaming again?”
“We’ll see . ”
The moment I walked out the club, I exhaled deeply, feeling more relaxed than ever .
