The King is Difficult [E-sports]

Xing Yi has existed in this arena for too long.

It's been so long that he himself feels that those days of drunkenness and dreams in Internet cafes are all stories from his previous life.

Even though he is hacked by many people now, he still has the praise of tens of thousands of fans, and the annual bonus and salary are more than many people can earn in a few lifetimes—the general definition of success, he has long been done.

It's just that his life hasn't changed much because of this. After all, he doesn't like sports cars and watches other than games, and almost all his money is saved. What is worrying about him is that he doesn't even plan to have offspring—as for the friends around him, they have changed from teenagers who smoked Hongtashan in Internet cafes to another group of e-sports players who smoked Zhonghua.

In his second year of high school, he had already left his mother's hometown. He had known an Internet cafe for many years with an older brother who was many years older than him, and came to a strange Shanghai. He also joined a decent looking team founded by the other party. It's time to play amateur games and sometimes make some money for boosters.

Although the conditions were a bit poor at the beginning, it was much more free than living in school, and it also included food and housing.

Although some local blacks once said that this city is xenophobic, Xing Yi is neither interested in verifying the authenticity of this sentence, nor does he care - anyway, most of the people he met here are not bad, and it didn't take long to get through it. At first, the feeling of loneliness and uneasiness of leaving the hometown, I soon began to feel that the international metropolis is really a good place, and even the little brothers on the street should be delicate and refreshing, and love to wash their hair, so playing games here is up There's nothing wrong with knowing.

He was also tired of the monotonous and boring days in school, and he didn't even have any opponents in the school fights, so he wanted to come out to have fun a long time ago-plus, it was not good for him to stay, so he just stayed.

He is called a god for saving the world in the game. In reality, he just muddled along without a goal. He planned to squander his youth like this. After two years, he would go home and run transportation to work as a security guard. The big deal is to go to his parents with a cheeky face. My old friend arranged some sort of job as an assistant, anyway, I won’t die of hunger, and maybe this life will pass like this—he is like a pool of stagnant water, no matter whether the surface is clear and bright, the heart is still young and quiet , But one day, someone forcibly caused ripples on the water.

——That day when the Red Wolf man found him while he was in an Internet cafe, he suddenly said, you are the world of mortals, right?I was looking for you online before, why didn't you reply me? ——Do you want to come to our team to play regular professional games?Our coaching team has been observing your rank for a while and thinks you have great potential. We thought you were a free agent, but in the end you have a team. But as long as you are willing to leave, it’s easy to say, you are so strong, don’t stay in that precarious little place. Workshop team.

Xing Yi, who was still an immature boy at that time, just felt baffled, and soon showed a mocking smile to the manager who was talking to someone in the toilet, then pulled up his pants and said, do you think my size is like a three-year-old child?

After finishing speaking, Xing Yi ran away without waiting for the other party's reaction, but the red wolf manager who touched his nose just as soon as he spoke was unwilling to give up. He came to him again and again, and asked him how he signed with the original team .

Xing Yi couldn't help being entangled, and to be honest, even he himself didn't really read the content of the contract. The terms and conditions were too complicated for him to understand. Guaranteed salary of 1800, power leveling and competition bonus commission is enough, he is quite satisfied with this - among so many bad students who can only play games, how many people can be as good as him, at the age of 17 The ups and downs of the Shanghai Bund gangster, but also easy to earn thousands of dollars a month salary?

But his intuition told him that he should not tell outsiders casually about these things, and naturally he would not betray his brother whom he has known for many years, so he always just answered the manager: I don’t know, I am illiterate.

Manager Chilang was already tired of dealing with him, so after listening to it, he naturally had an internally hurt tone: When you typed in the game without using dirty words, you looked like a graduate of the Chinese Department of Peking University, the god of mortals? ?

But in the end, Xing Yi still didn't hold on for too long.

He felt that he had been taken care of by that brother for too many years. From the first time when he was in junior high school, the other party gave him food and drink at an Internet cafe, and later took him to a big city to see the world. During the many years in Xing Yi's heart, There are always some vague illusions, and I dare not really face them.

But the other party has always had a girlfriend, and Xing Yi can only regard everything as a sense of dependence on older people, and then still enjoy online dating, playing games, eating, drinking and having fun every day-after all, he is mental opium/film, so he has always He was living fairly self-sufficiently, but his teammates were not working hard enough, but they finally started to ferment, which made him feel more and more unhappy—especially when they lost games and saw them not even playing rank.

In his heart, those bad games held in Internet cafes are man-machine games that can be won by playing with his feet. However, some low-level mistakes made by his teammates when they have nothing to do, always make him want to smash the mouse and keyboard together.

No one can understand how frustrated he is when he develops very well in the top lane and can always carry the whole field, but his teammates always make mistakes in team battles and be seconded first, which makes the situation tilt, and no one can understand that he fights every day. Rank maintains a competitive state but sees the irritability of his teammates when they watch dramas and browse the web. Regardless of whether they can win in the end, some complaints and small frictions will still accumulate like this.

In his teens, he was the youngest in the team, and his mentality was completely different from that of his twenties as a senior on the field. It didn't take long before he got into a direct confrontation with one or two of the worst people. I don't know the situation in his family, so naturally all kinds of scolding came up. He was very anxious at the time, and he felt that it was a fucking waste of words to argue, so he just punched him directly.

Can do it, no nonsense.He likes to smack people in the game, and that's just because he can't beat people along the network cable.

Afterwards, the team's handling was naturally to play [-] boards each. Gradually, Xing Yi didn't like to talk to some teammates. The good and bad things in the team made him feel that his life was not going well. Soon, his youthful spirit Sheng's heart naturally had the idea of ​​leaving.

Manager Chilang said, as long as you come, no matter how much the liquidated damages are, we will pay them for you.

Xing Yi clenched his fists, nodded silently, and told two or three managers of the team when he returned home that he wanted to leave.

Even though they tried hard to persuade them to stay, saying that the team would soon be able to compete in the group arena to compete professionally, but at that time Xing Yi still insisted on going his own way and never looked back.

——Although, within a few days, he still regretted it a little.

Regarding this, he was about to propose to go back and forget it, but after reading the content of the contract, the red wolf manager said, boy, are you stupid?

Xing Yi vaguely knew what he wanted to say in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to interrupt him in a panic, but the other party didn't show any sympathy, and said directly: In a place like Shanghai, you can sign you for 1800 a month for five years, and the percentage of commission is still the same Low, you actually agreed?Many regular clubs only draw a small part of the game bonuses or even give them all to the players. Don’t they think that you are young and don’t understand anything, and they completely treat you as a money-making tool plus cheap power leveling?

—— Xing Yi gritted his teeth and could only remain silent.The few people in front of him were the boss, manager and head coach of the Red Wolf. He looked into the mature and sophisticated eyes of the adults, and struggled for a long time before he could stammer out a few words: I...I think it's pretty good. 1800 is the net profit, there is a commission and no money for room and board... I read the renting website, and the rent in Shanghai is more than 2000...

It's just that he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as usual, but has become more and more quiet. The manager also sighed beside him.

"Isn't your club base in a residential building? The team members and staff are all crowded into one dormitory. Even in Shanghai, the rent for a single person in such a place can't reach four figures." The manager sighed and hesitated. Said: "Actually... You almost knew it from the beginning, right?"

Xing Yi was startled, and secretly pressed his lips with his teeth, but did not answer.

The other party looked at him, and continued to talk: "Fortunately, you, a big brother, don't have a long-term vision. The liquidated damages are 35. He should think that no one will pay, so he will definitely keep you for five years."

Indeed, in that era when trading outstanding players cost less than tens of thousands, and game live streaming platforms were almost in their infancy, even those who were optimistic about this game, few dared to predict that top players would be worth millions in the future.

The boss of Chilang was also present. He was a young man in his thirties and 40s who was not tall but had a businessman's beer belly. After listening to the manager's words for a while, he said to Xing Yi in a calm voice: "Stay in Chilang Wolf, Xing Yi. 35 is because he has eyes but doesn’t know Taishan. You are a game player, so don’t think that playing games well is worthless like others. Adults who are new to new things will think of it—anyway, if one thing is done to the extreme, it will naturally have its value. Your talent is not a problem. If you have formal training, becoming the king of the country and even the world is the future It is foreseeable. MOBA games are popular all over the world recently, and the main creators of League of Legends are all from well-known teams in the industry. In addition, Tencent is the agent in mainland China, so it is impossible not to be popular in the future.”

Xing Yi looked up at the other party in a cloud of mist, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer - he had already planned to spend his whole life like this, but now someone told him so firmly that he and his game talent are the same valuable?

And perhaps, the innocence and wantonness of people and people when they were young will need to say goodbye one day. This is true for ignorant dependence, and it is also true for playful online dating.

Although he still got into a little trouble later on, he still officially became a member of the Red Wolf. Although the first days were not very rich, they were still much more fulfilling than in the amateur team.

After going through a series of trials and personnel adjustments, he switched from the top laner to the jungler for the team, and soon met the most important person in his career—his new mid laner teammate, who has thick eyebrows and a mid laner. And upright Ye Qingcheng.

Since becoming a teammate, there has never been a game where Xing Yi and Ye Qingcheng have not advanced and retreated together, facing the pain of defeat and the joy of victory - only at this moment, when he blinked, he found himself sitting in front of the computer used for the game , when the host's sweet opening speech and the audience's excited shouts were all in his ears, he suddenly realized that he was really going to represent a team other than Chilang wolf on the field.

The director cut the scene at least twice to Jiang Hanshuo and other lpl players who were present as spectators. Xing Yi seemed to be able to vaguely see his old friends sitting in the middle of the front row, as if this was still the old league he was familiar with, but When his eyes fixed on his id on the screen, he was still a little bit at a loss suddenly.

——is monologue.

For Xing Yi, it was not long ago that he made up his mind to regard himself as a member of is, the repeated discussions with the coach and Li Yishi in the training room of the base, the jokes that happened in the lounge just before playing, and even let Xiao Cun, who he fell in love with so much in a short period of time, seemed to suddenly become unreal in this lively arena.

When Xing Yi stepped onto the stage, his heart, which was still relaxed, gradually sank for some reason. He had already planned to bring his iceberg beauty to write an e-sports legend about whether the picturesque beauty is next to your father or your father. But at this moment, he couldn't help but start to feel in a trance, as if this id represented not himself.

He originally thought that the prefix of the name logue in the arena would always be the red wolf wolf, but whether he was willing or not, those had become old days that he could no longer indulge in.
