Honor of Kings: You Want Me to Retire? What Are You Crying About When You Can't Beat Me?

Esports is booming around the world, and Honor of Kings is going global.

Lin Xinghe, the KPL's number-one jungler, led AG to five championships in three years, setting the Galaxy Battleship sailing once more.

But after a new manager took over, he fired Lin Xinghe to make an example of him and denounced his achievements as gifts from AG. He even claimed that with the other four players, they could win a championship with any dog on the team.

Swept up in the wave of public opinion, Lin Xinghe became a pariah overnight.

A young player named Cai Kun took his place in the jungle, while his first love ran off with a food delivery guy...

But what nobody knew was this:

The Galaxy Battleship hadn't created the Star River. It was the Star River that had carried the ship.

Everything his first love had was thanks to the halo of stardom he brought her!

After three years of competing, Lin Xinghe was exhausted.

A villa, three hundred million in savings, and the occasional livestream where he pushed for the top spot. A quiet, ordinary life like that was pretty nice, actually.

And yet...

Just as Lin Xinghe was enjoying his peaceful life,

The high-spirited Cai Kun made his KPL debut and got swept 3-0 by a B-tier team.

AG tried rotating its players, but still got steamrolled all the way through.

A certain B-tier team: “Heh heh, we're done holding back. Honestly, without Lin Xinghe, AG is nothing!”

A certain A-tier team: “That's the Galaxy Battleship? Pathetic!”

A certain S-tier team: “I suggest the league make a separate C tier just for AG.”

The new manager broke down: “Could it be that we really can't do without him?”

Meanwhile, AG fans were already weeping bitterly: “God Lin, we were wrong! Please come back!”

But faced with apologies from the entire internet, Lin Xinghe just waved a hand and said:

“Going pro? Not even a dog would do it!”
