The King of Machinery, the All-Time Master

Chapter 231 Father and Son

"What are you doing standing still?"

Seeing his always obedient son standing there motionless, Luo Haitian also showed an angry expression.

He knew that as long as he showed an angry expression, Xiao Luo would definitely do what he asked.

This has been true since childhood.

Except that one time.

"I" Luo Xingzhi hesitated.

"What am I?" Luo Haitian frowned. "Do you know what you're doing now?"

"I'm working hard to become a professional e-sports player." Luo Xingzhi finally replied seriously.

"E-sports? Oh, you're right." Luo Haitian nodded. "I have indeed changed my view on e-sports now. The country recognizes it as a formal sport. I will also admit that it is a qualified competitive game with daily training and mental competition. I have given up on it. I have changed my previous thoughts. This is a legitimate industry, and I will no longer have the same prejudices as before."

"Then you should support me." Luo Xingzhi said.

"What a piece of support." Luo Haitian said. "Do you know what those people said after you lost the game? Do you know what they think of you players?"

"Of course I know." Luo Xingzhi said. "They see us as clowns on the stage, bets on the field, and jokes after dinner. I know it all."

"Since you know everything, do you still want to stick to your career?" Luo Haitian asked.

"Yes. That's right." Luo Xingzhi nodded firmly.

Luo Haitian suddenly laughed.

Then he asked: "In this kind of environment, if you win a game, you will be praised to the sky, if you lose the game, you will be thrown into hell. Do you like it? Is it something you want to continue? Is it something you can bear?" The pressure of public opinion and the pressure of reality, and then continue on this road where we don’t know where the end point is?”

Luo Xingzhi nodded firmly without any hesitation.

"I want to continue."

His expression was serious, as if he had decided to leave home.

"why?"

Luo Xingzhi was silent for several seconds, seeming to be thinking about why, but he clearly had the answer in his heart.

"You can't even give me a reason. Why do you want me to believe you?"

"It's just like before. Don't believe me." Luo Xingzhi looked at him. "You always want me to be first, first in piano, first in saxophone, first in mathematics, first in Go, but you know, I don't want to be first in those."

"You don't even have the ambition to make progress, and you still say you want to continue?" Luo Haitian said.

"It's not that I can't be number one, it's that I don't want to be number one. Because I don't like it."

"I went out of my way to play the wrong keys, I went out to play the wrong notes, I went out of my way to do the wrong questions, I went out of my way to answer the wrong questions. I just don't want to be the first, because I know that even if I become the first, I won't get your praise. You will always say that Jiahui won the provincial championship, Ziyang won the first place in the city, Xiaoqiu won the ninth level of Go, but I can't compare with them, and I will never be able to compare with them. Do you want to use these incentives? Me, you want to put pressure on me to do better."

"But if you have no interest, if you are doing something you don't like, what's the use of being the first? It will only continue in those places you don't like. It's a waste of time in places I don't like. I always thought you would know I do not like."

"You are doing what you like now, so have you become the number one?" Luo Haitian asked.

"That's why I have to continue." Luo Xingzhi replied firmly. "Because I lost, I have to win it back. Because I didn't win the championship this time, I must get it next time. This is what I want, this is the path I want."

"If you knew you would fail, would you continue?" Luo Haitian asked again.

"Of course! When you first developed Tianhe, were you 100% sure?" Luo Xingzhi asked.

Luo Haitian suddenly stopped talking.

The development of Tianhe Intelligence is the largest investment plan of Liyue Group, and it is also the only plan that Luo Haitian failed.

A lot of money was invested and a lot of money was spent, but in the end, it was all in vain.

That was the pain of Luo Haitian's life.

"Tianhe's original success rate was 10%, which was enough for me to take the risk." Luo Haitian said. "And the path you pursue, the chance of success is one in ten thousand."

"One ten thousandth is enough." Luo Xingzhi said. "Even if it is a 100% failure, I will create a miracle for you."

"Hehe." Looking at his son, Luo Haitian burst into a smile for no reason. "Hahahaha, you are just too much like me. It's exactly the same as when I was young."

"Isn't it natural for a son to be like his father?" Luo Xingzhi also said.

"Okay." Luo Haitian nodded. "Then I'll give you another chance. Let you try your luck in the industry you like. If you succeed, it's up to you. If you fail, just go home with me, okay?"

"Okay." Luo Xingzhi nodded.

"How long do you need?" Luo Haitian asked. "I can't wait for you too long."

"One year." Luo Xingzhi said. "One year is enough. Next year, I will definitely win the championship and go back with a championship ring."

"Without a trophy?" Luo Haitian frowned.

"Uh" Luo Xingzhi scratched his head. "The trophy belongs to the club and I won't let you take it with you."

"It's good to be able to go home." Zhao Ya held her son's arm with a smile on her face.

This father and son are just too stubborn, that's why their relationship is so bad.

"However, before that, you still have to take me to find someone from your club." Luo Haitian said.

"Ah? Why?" Luo Xing didn't understand.

"At least check your contract to see if there are any trap clauses." Luo Haitian said. "You can't be sold and count money for others."

"You are so stubborn." Zhao Ya smiled, very happy that the father and son could have such an equal conversation on such an occasion.

"It's my fault, Xiao Luo." Luo Haitian smiled. "I have always regarded you as a child, but in the more than a year since you left home, I have been thinking about my own mistakes. Later, I slowly began to understand that you have actually grown up. . You should also have things you want to do, but I’m too restrictive."

"I have been waiting for you to insist on your opinion one day. I have had a dream before. When you firmly stand in front of me and say what you want to do, it proves that you have grown up. Now, maybe that’s the time.”

"Xiao Luo, be yourself and move towards the future you want. No matter what the consequences are, no matter what the ending is, you must bear it yourself. You must know this better than anyone else. .”

Luo Haitian calmly told what was in his heart.

The Luo family's education has always been very open-minded.

The mistakes you make are your own responsibility, the path you choose is your own, and you reach the end by yourself.

The men of the Luo family don't know how to escape, and they also know how to give up.

When children grow up, they are willing to venture into the outside world.

Then go ahead and either get a bloody head or win brilliantly.

For Luo Xingzhi, the matter that had always worried him the most was finally solved.

It's even simpler than expected.

One year, one year.

Win the championship.
