[SP China District Representative]

23

Captain.

24

Since it's so unfortunate, I will take my leave first.

25

- Old Han!

- Let's talk things out.

26

Little Mi has my phone number.

27

Give me a call before midnight tonight.

28

- Han Shangyan.

- Han Shangyan.

29

We are all bros! What is there we cannot sit and discuss?

30

Old Han!

31

Little Mi, long time no see.

32

It's been ten years!

33

It is still you that understands me.

34

Sit. Let's talk business.

35

If you guys were going to come, you should have told me earlier.

36

I would have given him an immunization shot.

(T/N: give him a heads-up)

37

What's the use of telling him in advance?

38

There's no use! With his bad temper?

39

Tonight, I'll try and talk to him again.

40

You two have business matters?

41

- Yes.

- No.

42

We do have business matters.

43

What business is there to talk about with me?

44

The Summit Competition isn't here.

45

The two of us are...

46

here to get you to sign a contract with us.

47

You and Han Shangyan came to find me for the same thing?

48

Did he come because of this, too?

49

I already rejected him and I will reject yours, too.

50

I don't have the intention to make a comeback.

51

Don't waste your time and effort.

52

It's not just the two of us anymore.

53

Ai Qing has joined us as well.

54

Now, the three of us are all part of Team SP.

55

[Half a year ago]

Attention passengers on flight 7381 to Beijing.

57

Your flight is about to depart. Please proceed to gate 7 immediately. Thank you.

59

Long time no see.

60

I didn't expect you to agree with me and be Team SP's manager.

61

After retiring for two years and doing some work not related to CTF (Capture The Flag, a computer security competition where you protect your network and attack your opponent's),

62

although I have earned some money,

63

what I miss the most is still my days as a player.

64

Say. If we didn't part ways in the first place,

65

what would the world be like now?

66

The past cannot be changed.

67

It's pointless to think back too much.

68

You're right.

69

Those years, who wasn't paying attention to CTF because they worshipped Appledog Ai Qing?

70

What is your plan from here?

71

My plan is to first get Little Mi and Ou Qiang back.

72

So, you want to...

73

I want to lead them and relive our brilliant years.

74

Just like before, fighting hard every day for our honor.

75

♫ I am also afraid of one day falling down ♫

76

♫ Abandoning their dreams, anyone can do so ♫

77

♫ I’m afraid one day it’ll just be you and me ♫

78

- We are just missing you now!

- Just missing you now!

79

- Ai Qing signed already?

- Of course!

80

But I didn't tell her that I was coming to find you this time.

81

If you sign, she would be so happy! I want to surprise her.

82

Then, what about Han Shangyan? You know he's the boss of K&K?

83

We just had a competition, I know.

84

He came to discuss my comeback, and you also came to discuss my comeback.

85

How do you two expect me to be a good person?

86

The main point now is whether you are still interested or not.

87

Do you still want to make a comeback?

88

You are not young anymore.

89

For you, this could be your last chance.

90

I don't have that strength anymore.

91

It's been so many years.

92

That is not the main point!

93

The main point is whether you want to or not!

94

Do you want to make a comeback or not?

95

Do you want to win back the things we lost?

96

Do you want to become the world champion again?

97

Give me your cup!

98

I mean, what are you thinking right now? I just don't understand!

99

I understand what you mean now.

100

Now, tell me. Who will you follow?

101

I want to follow you.

102

Then that's it!

103

That year, it was you who led me when I started.

104

Solo, you were my first team captain.

105

I also want you to be my last team captain.

106

What?

107

I didn't think that you would ever say that.

108

Actually, these years I have really felt ashamed.

109

Thank you.

110

I know you're always in this circle.

111

In CTF, you are the best team captain.

112

Back then, when the industry was at its lowest, you were there.

113

Even now, you are still there.

114

I admire you.

115

Let's stop saying these sentimental things.

116

It's been ten years. It hasn't been easy for us to get together.

117

Raise our glasses!

118

- Come!

- Raise them up!

119

I bless you two. The future world champions!

120

Getting trophies until our hands are weak!

121

It is a must!

122

I'm so glad that you're finally back.

123

At the World Tournament in Singapore a few days ago,

124

if I knew you were leading Team K&K there,

125

I would have gone to Singapore to find you.

126

We are opponents. What is there to be happy about?

127

So how is it? We haven't seen each other in so long, are you doing well?

128

Talk business.

129

Once you're done, you can leave.

130

Okay. Let's talk business.

131

I'm basically done discussing with Little Mi.

132

The contract is also finalized; just missing his signature now.

133

And?

134

You came here to show off?

135

You know this. I have never shown off in front of you.

136

And I don't need to show off.

137

Because in my heart, you are always the brightest star.

138

Same with Little Mi.

139

It was his own choice to join SP.

140

He thinks that SP is more suited for him.

141

I will give him the best resources to train him,

142

and get him to return to a condition where he can compete as soon as possible.

143

If this was his own choice,

144

I will respect it.

145

You are giving up so quickly? That's not like you.

146

It is he who gave up on me, not I who gave up on him.

147

I will take good care of him.

148

It is best that you do as you say.

149

Or else, I will settle both my new and old debts with you.

150

He is also my brother.

(T/N: good friend)

151

You can leave.

152

What? You're really not going to give me some time so we can talk about some private matters?

153

The two of us do not have any private matters to discuss. See you in the competitions.

154

A few days ago, Ai Qing saw you in Singapore. She was very happy.

155

I got it.

156

157

It's been ten years.

158

If some things were changed to you in the beginning,

159

you probably would've made the same decision as me.

160

I won't disturb you anymore.

161

Rest well.

162

We are Team Solo.

163

We are the national champions.

164

Let's invite our MVP member to speak a few words to everyone. How is that?

165

- Gun God, say something.

- Gun God.

166

Right, Gun God, tell us how you feel right now.

167

- Just tell us a little bit.

- Han Shangyan, say something.

168

The past two years and three months,

169

we've won and we've lost.

170

We laughed and cried.

171

We were suspected, we were gossiped about,

172

we were reproached and plotted against.

173

We've never explained ourselves.

174

There's no need to explain.

175

Tonight's festivity will eventually end.

176

To achieve success and fame,

177

absurdity on every side.

178

I am announcing that starting today,

179

I am formally withdrawing from Team Solo.

180

Also, I am formally retiring.

181

- Old Han!

- Gun God, what is your reason for retiring?

182

- Gun God.

- Han Shangyan!

183

- Han Shangyan!

- Gun God, say a few things.

184

- Why are you retiring?

- Old Han, what are you doing?

185

Please tell us.

192

- Old Han, you shouldn't be so impulsive.

- Old Han, you should stay calm.

193

Han Shangyan!

194

Han Shangyan, don't be so impulsive!

195

What gives you the right to just leave without talking it over with us?

196

Why didn't you discuss this with us?

197

Please calm down. We just won the championship.

198

Things will get better and better.

199

Don't be so impulsive.

200

Don't be so impulsive and say you're retiring, can you?

201

Our team is called Team Solo!

202

Today, you are telling me we are losing a team member. Then what is the point of all this?

203

Also, the person that we are losing

204

once told me how great this world is!

205

- How much the future had for us to look forward to!

- Don't be impulsive, Han Shangyan.

206

What else do you want me to believe in?

207

Everyone, please let me say something.

208

Han Shangyan, you shouldn't be this impulsive.

209

We just won the championship inside just now.

210

Outside, there're a bunch of fans and also a bunch of reporters waiting for us.

211

Everything can wait until tonight's celebratory feast to discuss how we move forward.

212

- Yeah.

- Can we?

213

Old Han!

214

We will meet at the usual place tonight!

215

We already got the national champion.

216

Why are we giving up?

217

We can be the world champions.

218

Why can't we go all out for it?

219

Here, let me make a toast to everyone.

220

Let me say my farewell here.

221

I am going back home in a few days.

222

Little Mi, what are you up to? Why are you suddenly leaving, too?

223

Little Mi, don't join in the trouble.

224

I've... thought it over already.

225

Thought over what?

226

I've decided to retire.

227

Go back home and look after the convenience store for my mom. Isn't that great?

228

What are you adding into the trouble for?

229

You are so young. What is the hurry?

230

Little Mi, you shouldn't be impulsive.

231

I am not being impulsive, Captain.

232

You shouldn't copy Old Han!

233

I am doing it for myself.

234

Do you really think I only care about world champion?

235

What is the point of our team if it is missing a member?

236

You are just like a pile of messy mud on the floor.

237

Old Han, where have you been?

238

Why didn't you answer my call? I called you so many times! Why didn't you answer?

239

♫ So many times I wish I could know ♫

240

- What are you doing?

- Let's talk things out!

241

♫ I am trying so hard to find myself ♫

242

Get up. You get up!

243

♫ Nothing to hide, nothing to fear ♫

244

Old Han, listen to me.

245

♫ You're walking away, talking to me ♫

246

Are you all right?

247

Don't stop him! Let him hit me!

248

Look at the teammates around you!

249

Are you worthy of them?

250

Don't forget Solo's dream!

251

And your own dream: to be the world champion!

252

Don't speak to me about dreams.

253

- Old Han.

- Old Han.

254

Old Han.

255

Be careful.

256

♫ I can't leave ♫

257

- Han Shangyan!

- Han Shangyan!

258

Han Shangyan!

259

Morning.

260

This is your passport.

261

Also, the reward money.

262

Did you come here just to bring me money?

263

From now on, you cannot be any team's captain.

264

If you still want to participate professionally, you can only do so as an individual.

265

I admit that you have the talent to be a captain, but you've wronged every one of us.

266

You don't deserve it and you also don't have the qualifications to be a captain.

267

I don't deserve to be a captain.

268

In this lifetime, I won't be a captain.

269

Remember what you said.

270

I promise you.

271

♫ Trying to find the one that is me ♫

272

♫ Nothing to hide, nothing to fear ♫

273

It's been so many years,

274

I still do not know how to forgive you.

275

Do you still remember the championship game from ten years ago?

276

Old Han, one decipher; it was an instantaneous kill.

277

He got that Buff so angry that he directly kicked the chair.

278

Thinking on it now, that was called satisfying.

279

288

One day of being brothers

289

is being brothers for life.

290

If you go to Shanghai in the future, if there's anything you need my help in, let me know anytime.

291

No need to be polite.

292

I am going now. I need to catch a flight.

293

You're going?

294

Why does this kid look familiar somehow?

295

Grandma, you forgot? That's my best bro, Little Han.

296

Yes. That's why he looks so familiar.

297

Did you pack everything?

298

Pretty much.

299

You are not young anymore.

300

Do some more reasonable things in the future.

301

Don't worry, Grandma. This time I'll definitely win a championship and come back.

302

All right, Grandma will wait for you.

303

What is it?

304

Seems like he didn't pay for the drinks.

305

We are brothers, why are you talking about that?

306

Please give me a computer.

307

- I'm off work. Go ask that guy.

- Hello, please show us your ID.

308

Elder cousin! I am ready; let's go.

309

Let's go eat breakfast. Go home and eat breakfast.

310

Sis, what is the matter?

(T/N: They are cousins, but in Asian culture, they still call each other by "brother" and "sister.")

311

It's free to use the internet and he still doesn't come.

312

Sis, I have to do something right now. You go back.

313

- I will look for you later.

- Give me the bag. / - That's right.

314

What are you up to?

315

- Why are you back?

- Something urgent.

316

- Bro.

- What is it?

317

Do you play that often?

318

Ah, yeah.

319

What... What kind of game is this?

320

Doesn't your family own an internet cafe? You don't know this?

321

I don't play games much.

322

Chamber Storm.

323

Then, how can I find out who recently played this game?

324

This... As long as you know their username, that's enough.

325

How would I know their username?

326

If you don't know, how would I know?

327

That's true.

328

Dad. Mom. I am back.

329

You are back.

330

Where is Dounan?

331

Why didn't he come back with you? Didn't he say he will be back together with you to eat?

332

Yeah, he originally said he would come back with me together.

333

I don't know why but he went back half-way.

334

I'll say, what's going with you these days? Always coming back so late.

335

Are you staying up all night with your younger cousin?

336

I need to help him watch the store. What can I do?

337

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By The 🍯 Honey Stewed 🐙 Squid Team @ Viki

338

He probably blocked me.

339

- Sis! Sis!

- What?

340

I have a way to find that person.

341

- Han Shangyan.

- Yes.

342

I pulled the store's surveillance video and I found the game he was playing.

343

Even a ghost knows that. Isn't it that "Chamber Storm?"

344

You are a game idiot. How do you know this?

345

In a little while, I am going to compete for the recording of the theme song.

346

But what is the point of knowing the name of the game? I still can't find him.

347

We can find him.

348

- We can find him?

- Yes.

349

- Is that for real?

- Absolutely true.

350

I can even borrow my friend's pro-level ID for you. We don't even need to register.

351

- All right, I'm not saying anymore. Let's go in. I'll help you.

- Not bad!

352

Dounan!

353

Look at this. Let's log in first.

354

Okay.

355

And then this is the password.

356

Log in.

357

"1 Dash of Handsome?"

(T/N: friend's username)

358

Ignore it, ignore it. Next, we need to invite a friend.

359

I will enter his game ID.

360

[Use your friend's ID to search for user]

361

[grunt]

362

Grunt?

363

No wonder his WeChat ID is Gn.

364

So he is called "Grunt." It's such a nice name.

365

- Grunt. Grunt.

- All right, all right.

366

Stop fangirling. This... This sounds like "roller."

(T/N: grunt and roller sound similar)

367

- That's enough. Pro-level people all use this kind of name.

- It sounds like he's cursing someone.

368

At least, it sounds better than your Hu Dounan. Hu Dounan. Hu Dounan.

369

Stop calling my name.

370

All right. Let's follow my friend's instructions. I will read it for you.

371

The W A S D is the forward, left, back and right. You try it.

372

Shoot with the mouse. Left-click.

373

When you start every round, you need to purchase a weapon.

374

If you win more in the previous round, you have to buy better weapons in the next round.

375

Anyway, the moves are not hard. You just need to practice them. There are no shortcuts.

376

You are so smart. You will get it soon. Practice makes perfect.

377

- That's true.

- Let's start with the invite.

378

All right.

379

[Send a friend request]

380

Wait a second! I am a little nervous.

381

Do you want to invite him or not?

382

[Send a friend request]

383

Then let's invite him.

384

[Send a friend request]

385

Currently playing Chamber Storm: global operation.

386

Let me tell you. I am more relaxed that he didn't accept my invite.

387

Why is he still not finished?

388

I don't know.

389

[Grunt accepted 1 Dash of Handsome's friend request.]

390

Dounan! Hu Dounan!

391

Hurry! Look! Did he accept my invite?

392

Take a look! Is it right? Did he accept my invite?

393

- Don't be nervous.

- I am not nervous.

394

When we go in later, you have to calmly say hi to him. Okay?

395

I am calm. Calm.

396

- What should we do now?

- Let's send him an invite first.

397

Okay.

398

Yes, here.

399

Did he accept it? Did he accept it?

400

- Crap!

- What happened?

401

He chose the opponent team. You won't be able to see him.

402

What should I do then? I want to see him! I want to see him!

403

You will only be able to see him if you use the public chat or if you bump into him in the game.

404

- Bumping into him in the game is fine, too.

- Don't be so worried yet.

405

Even though he is your rival, you can still greet him, right?

406

- Friendship comes first, competition comes after.

- Okay.

407

- Okay.

- What should I do?

408

Do you still remember what I taught you just now?

409

Here. These four keys: forward, backward, left and right.

410

Yes, and then...

411

You... the mouse! Use the mouse to fight!

412

The person just now already passed!

413

I... hit him, hit him! He won't die!

414

Why are you shaking yourself?

415

- How do I do this?

- Do you know how to play?

416

- I...

- Go forward!

417

- Why are you yelling at me?

- I'll do it! I'll do it!

418

Move forward, move forward. Here!

419

The rival! The rival!

420

Hit him! Hit him! Hit!

421

Aim for the head! Aim for the head!

422

I...

423

Hit him!

424

Did I die?

425

I... I think so.

426

- You made me die?

- I've been helping you all along!

427

- You... You...

- You helped me die!

428

I helped... I have been helping you! If you hadn't kept on moving the mouse...

429

- If you hadn't moved around randomly, how would you have died?

- It's all your fault! It's all your fault!

430

- Why are you blaming me again?

- It is because of you!

431

Why are you blaming me?

432

So annoying. I haven't even seen him and I already died.

433

- Grunt, where is your passport?

- Let me just finish this round.

434

- Remember to give it to me later.

- Okay.

435

Such noobs. It's no fun.

436

It's vacation time. There are a lot of newbies.

437

Demo! Play a round for me.

438

I will go get the passport for the manager.

439

Where is Boss?

440

He is taking a nap. He just got back and he is already in a bad mood.

441

The other day, I kept hearing his notifications from WeChat.

442

I thought he never used WeChat to chat?

443

What happened? Is he dating?

444

That day, a small internet cafe added him on WeChat and kept sending him advertisements.

445

I told him I could help him block it, but he wouldn't let me.

446

He said he didn't want to blow their enthusiasm in sales, so I muted it for him.

447

- When did Boss become so kind?

- He probably finally found his conscience.

448

I've never heard of Boss going to internet cafes.

449

He even added a random WeChat account?

450

And won't block it? Something is up.

451

- The sun must be coming out from the west.

- Watch your words.

(T/N: something is fishy; be careful to not get cut)

452

All right. I am going to get the passport.

453

Oh right, about that 1 Dash of Handsome, please don't add him.

454

He's too much of a noob.

455

He isn't even qualified to be a rival. I'll get going.

456

He went offline. Did he leave?

457

He needs to rest, too. Right? You can use this time to look at strategy guides.

458

When you play together next time, you won't be as silly.

459

This game seems pretty easy to me anyway.

460

See, there are just those four keys, the mouse, and the space bar. How hard can it be? It's really easy.

461

Hu Dounan, can you let me be alone for a bit?

462

- Okay.

- Thank you. I am grateful.

463

You are welcome.

464

That night at the internet cafe was the first time I met Han Shangyan.

465

I thought he was a big geek who liked to go on the internet,

466

and just happened to want to play at the internet cafe for a bit that day.

467

It wasn't until later on that I found out...

468

everything I thought was wrong.

469

- Old Han, don't attack so ferociously.

- The pressure from Ai Qing worked.

470

Infiltrated.

471

- Old Han, you...

- Nice!

472

Your condition is good.

473

If it's about module attack, I only believe in Old Han.

474

Old Han is getting stronger and stronger.

475

Old Han, I was the only one who believed in you since the beginning.

476

- Well done.

- Little Mi, don't mess up now.

477

Go, go, go. Little Mi!

478

- Little Mi, go through with our original plan, the one I told you earlier.

- I'm going to kill him!

479

Ou Qiang, block the opening.

480

- We infiltrated!

- Yes!

481

That day, he went to the internet cafe at midnight.

482

Perhaps, he is online now?

483

Online!

484

[Please wait...]

485

[1 Dash of Handsome]

[grunt]

486

Can I play with you? Can we not be opponents?

487

Okay.

488

Yes!

489

There are so many.

490

This one looks good.

491

Up, down.

492

The one with the double gun, why are you following Grunt?

493

Why are you bumping into the wall? Is your mouse broken?

494

Is the person in front of me Grunt?

495

[Please do not share your password with anyone.]

Hello.

496

[1 Dash of Handsome said: Hello Grunt]

[Press Shift+0 to reply]

497

He replied back. But why is his response "..."?

498

Let me send him a few more messages.

499

- Hello, Grunt.

- Is this your first time playing games?

500

No, that's not it. We met in the afternoon, do you remember?

501

"W", "A", "D", "S", forward, backward, left, and right; shooting with the mouse; I know them all.

502

After the round in the afternoon, I went back to look at the strategy guides. I even practiced with the computer multiple times.

503

I will protect you.

504

Why are all his replies to me "..."?

505

Did I say anything wrong?

506

Where did you go that you only just got back?

507

You are very weird. It's been a long time since I've seen you go online to play games.

508

What happened today? Venting because you are in a bad mood?

509

I play once in a while.

510

Do you know this person?

511

No, I don't. Just a kid.

512

It's a pro-level account.

513

He is probably secretly using someone else's account in the family.

514

I've also encountered this kind of situation before. Just try to play along.

515

I have already seen two stolen accounts this week. Is this another one?

516

It's so late at night. Account stealing thief, don't you need to sleep?

517

Little kid, let me save you this once.

518

Not a stolen account. Some kid in the family is using the account; just do your best.

519

Then, isn't this 4 vs. 5 now?

520

We have Grunt, we won't lose.

521

Do you see the door ahead?

522

Yes, I can see it clearly. My monitor is especially good, I guarantee it won't lag.

523

Hide there, until the game ends.

524

Why don't you register for an account instead of always using Grunt's?

525

If I register, what would you guys do?

526

I am going to shower first; start a round for me.

527

Right, that 1 Dash of Handsome, remember to add him for me.
