I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"I think I'd better go home and carve a tombstone."

Jiang Hao sat down and drank two cups with him, and only then did Brother Kai start to speak quietly.

For a moment, he looked at Old Tang, telling him what the situation was.

"Don't look at me! I don't know either. When I arrived at the Internet cafe, Brother Kai just said he wanted to drink."

Being stared at by Jiang Hao like that, Old Tang felt a little uncomfortable and explained to Jiang Hao with an innocent look on his face.

"Brother Kai, is it that the other team didn't cheat? Or is there something shady going on in the Internet Cafe League?"

Brother Kai felt much more depressed today than after the last game, and his mood was completely down.

There was no anger or resentment, but instead a feeling of having really figured it out and faced the reality.

Jiang Hao looked at Brother Kai and stopped his action of drinking.

"It's meaningless. It doesn't matter whether you cheat or not."

It was as if he had let it go, and there was no trace of the resentment he had in the previous two days in his tone of voice.

"Brother Kai, what do you mean? If they cheat, they should be disqualified from the competition! It's your team's turn to compete!"

When Old Tang arrived at the Internet cafe, the entire Internet cafe competition had already ended.

It may be because there are fewer matches in the quarter-finals and they are played earlier, so before 8 o'clock, only the normal people online are left.

"Yeah, Old Tang is right!"

"Brother Kai, did your team play this afternoon?"

"No hit."

Faced with the two people's questioning, Zhou Kai finally put down his glass.

"Is the other party not cheating? Or is there something shady going on?"

Jiang Hao now suspects that this kind of local Internet cafe league may have some relationship between the participating teams and the Internet cafe owners or the organizers of the competition.

Brother Kai was still very confident that night, and the Internet cafe was very formal and wanted to take the data of the game and so on to someone for testing.

Suddenly his attitude changed in the past two days. Brother Kai spent the whole day in the Internet cafe but didn't get any results.

"According to the surveillance video, he just switched off the screen and opened the notepad during the game."

"And none of this really matters anymore."

Brother Kai raised his glass again, but didn't clink glasses with the other two. He just drank it in one gulp.

He looked at the two of them again, with a little more self-mockery on his face than before.

"Their team also lost in the semi-finals."

After these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent.

Jiang Hao and Tang Wenbin's faces suddenly became serious, and they no longer had the anxious and curious look they had just now.

"The team that beat your team lost?"

Old Tang confirmed it again without giving up.

"Yeah. Lost. Lost completely!"

"The semi-finals were a best-of-five series, and that team lost 0-3."

The more Zhou Kai talked about this, the calmer his expression became.

"I watched the whole game. The mid laner's Zed did play well, but the opponent's mid laner in the semifinals was even stronger. It looked like he was cheating!"

"For three consecutive games, he was able to kill Zed with various heroes. And it wasn't just the opponent's mid laner, all lanes were very strong."

"I admire the skills of the jungle players in the team who are like me. Their level is higher than mine."

At this moment, Jiang Hao suddenly understood Brother Kai’s choice in his previous life.

Why did I suddenly hear the news that I could return home and inherit the family business, and work there for seven or eight years until the factory was actually demolished?

I didn't hear that he was eager to participate in any competitions, and I heard that he rarely played the game online.

Even the team that was thought to have cheated to defeat them fell on the road to the semi-finals.

Even the player who was suspected of cheating by Kai's team was killed in three consecutive games.

Then all his previous persistence was indeed meaningless.

It was just a back and forth fight with the opponent, and at most Brother Kai was slightly stronger than the opponent in the jungle position.

But the overall team level is there, and even if the top four come, they will still be beaten directly.

I had previously struggled to report the other party for cheating in the Internet cafe, and now it has been confirmed in today's competition.

The opponent is not cheating, and there is always someone stronger than you.

"The average age of the winning team was 19, and I heard there was an even better midfielder."

"But he is only 16 years old. According to the offline rules of the Internet cafe, he cannot participate in the competition. The mid laner who participated in the competition is just a substitute in their team."

In the field of e-sports, there are monster-like young people every year.

Given Kai's age and skills, he could probably be very successful when playing with them or in simple amateur competitions.

But as it seems today, there is still a long way to go when it comes to meeting talented young people who are suitable for the profession.

No matter how much Jiang Hao thought highly of Brother Kai before, he hoped that he could pursue his favorite career in this life.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was really no need for Brother Kai to persist in his career as a professional player.

The three of them raised their beer glasses in tacit understanding.

“Spray~!”

There were more and more beer bottles on the ground, and two rounds of skewers had been served.

"Haozi, Lao Tang, thank you both for drinking with me. I feel much better now."

As he spoke, Brother Kai finally smiled, as if he felt relieved and had faced reality.

"Are you going back to carve tombstones with your father?"

Old Tang continued to pick up the skewers and asked while eating.

At this point, only Old Tang still had the strength to fight, the other two really couldn't eat anymore.

"I can't help it. I would like to join Haozi and start a business with you guys, but I can't write code either!"

"Are you really willing to do this? Just go back and do this?"

Zhou Kai had a very clear self-awareness on this point. After all, he came from a well-off family and had more fun in college than them.

I had to cram at the last minute for all kinds of exams, or rely entirely on the teacher's help to barely pass.

I am almost a complete novice in computer science.

Although he communicated with Ren Yixin, it would be no problem to have one more salesperson, even if it was just to let Old Tang teach development step by step.

But this is meaningless. Zhou Kai doesn't lack a job. What matters is his idea of ​​future development path.

"I'm not willing to accept it, but I haven't figured out what to do next."

"I originally thought that playing games was my strong point, but now I realize that I am only slightly better than the average person. I will go back and help with the housework first and think about it slowly."

After his dream of becoming a professional e-sports player was shattered, Brother Kai now behaves in an unusually mature manner.

I feel more at ease now, and I no longer have the immature and careless feeling I had when I first came to Songjiang a few days ago.

"Brother Kai, maybe you can find some other career related to games."

"for example?"

When Jiang Hao brought up this topic, Zhou Kai immediately turned his attention to him with great anticipation.

Obviously, going home to carve tombstones or becoming a programmer was not what he really wanted to do.

Jiang Hao had just been helping Zhou Kai with his plans. Originally, he had the idea of ​​setting up an e-sports club.

On the one hand, it is my own investment, and on the other hand, it can also help Brother Kai realize his e-sports dream.

But after tonight, Jiang Hao is ready to postpone the idea of ​​this club.

A new and more tempting thing appeared in his mind.

"Have you ever considered becoming a famous game streamer? Try live streaming your computer games?"
