I use Alpha as a stand-in?lied to him!

Beta accounts for half of the world's population, which is both huge and vulnerable.

There are always people who say: "Be content, you are not denied education, and you are not denied job opportunities, what else do you want to fight for?"

"You're not as powerful as an Alpha, and you don't have the artistry of an Omega, so what else do you want?"

"Beta, isn't it human beings who have not yet fully evolved, and will eventually be eliminated."

"..."

Xia Xingchen is a Beta, but he has never used this status to sell himself miserably or win even a little bit of preferential treatment for himself.

——Actually, we can’t compete.

For the first time, he asked the public this question in a bewildered tone:

Does Beta deserve it?

They deserve to be driven by Alpha, embellished by Omega, even if they work hard in their own industry, will they be viewed and evaluated by the world with colored glasses?

Xia Xingchen's voice was very soft, without grievance or anger, he stated the facts rationally: "Alpha, Beta, Omega, is there any essential difference? I never thought that being a Beta should be content, I am in my arena Playing a game that I am willing to give my life for, why should I leave the game just because someone else said 'enough is enough'?"

"Everyone knows that e-sports players cannot always be at their peak, but who can judge that I have reached my limit in the past three years?"

"The era when Venus stayed" is the nickname given by the audience to the three-year EPIC arena. Someone asked Xia Xingchen what he thought of this sentence. Venus smiled at the time and only said four words: "Praise me .”

There has never been a single person in history who can represent the situation of an era, and no one has fought alone to the end.

Xia Xingchen recognizes the audience's affirmation of him and is grateful, but he will never put himself on the top of the mountain and ignore the efforts of his teammates and predecessors.

He turned his eyes to the upper right, as if he was thinking: "I didn't get in by myself, my style of play was also taught by my seniors."

In the beginning, I played EPIC simply because I was too hungry. Some students in the class asked for power leveling to help me play ranks, and it cost ten yuan per star.

Forget about Xia Xingchen, ten yuan per star can buy a box of lunch at the fast food restaurant opened by Uncle Beta across the two streets from the buyer's door, and there is also one meat and two vegetables, which can be divided into two meals!

A game lasted four and 10 minutes, and as long as he could win, he could earn a week's worth of food by playing five hours a night.

He was too young at the time, never thought that he would lose, and he didn't know that the reward was linked to the rank.

Now Venus, if he is invited to play a game, his appearance fee can reach six figures at most, but at that time, Xia Xingchen only thought about whether he could earn enough food expenses for a week through boosting.

Because his father doesn't want him to be with his mother, and his mother doesn't care what he eats.

Because he's a Beta.

On the contrary, he was glad that this gender was so good, at least he didn't have to worry about where the financial source of the inhibitor would come from.

"I don't know if you still remember Lin Jiu, he is my senior." Xia Xingchen tilted his head and smiled, his eyes were a little wet, but there were no tears, nor did he let himself cry.

"It was he who asked me to come to SQG. You might not believe me if I said it. If I hadn't come here as a youth trainee, I might have gotten off the fishing boat and fished."

He was already 16 years old at the time, and he had completed the statutory compulsory education. He had a certain degree of civil autonomy. Even if he dropped out of school and went to work, no one would say anything.

Beta doesn't even have a special protection association attached to the government like Omega. No matter how poor Omega's family is, parents who can't finish high school will be scolded miserably.

Beta is much better. The introducer offers a salary of [-] yuan a year, including food and housing, which is quite a lot.

Give my mother [-] yuan and keep [-] yuan for myself, and I can pay off my mother's kindness for giving birth to him after going to sea for more than ten years.

But my brother refused.

"Before I joined the club, I played power leveling for others. I met Lin Jiu. He was just promoted to the first team by the team. It was also a live broadcast. I happened to meet. I called for a client. After the fight, I wanted to add him as a friend. Logged out and re-logged and was disconnected from the Internet, and it took me a long time to log in to find that he was still waiting for me."

Xia Xingchen was in a hurry at that time.

Both of them played in the mid laner, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was pushed to the ground by Lin Jiu in that round, but he agreed when he asked if he could add Lin Jiu as his friend.

However, the old line at home suddenly cut off the power, and it took him a long time to fix it. In the dark two-bedroom house, he was sweating all over in the summer.

Now that I think about it, I don't even know if it's hot or urgent.

In short, when he went online again, he found that Lin Jiu didn’t match up and didn’t enter the training ground, so he just waited for him there, opened the team mic and laughed when he heard his panting voice: “Don’t be nervous, kid, brother Beat you."

Others may be rascal when they say this, but he is not when he says it.

Xia Xingchen didn't even know how to describe that feeling. The moment he heard it, he felt feverish in his ears. He was not as smart and calm as he is now, and Mu Qiang was very psychological. The professional player, after explaining how to do it for so long after hemming and hawing in a very low voice, said: "You hit me...brother."

Lin Jiu must have been confused by him, she was silent for a few seconds before tentatively saying "Huh?", as if she had heard something particularly strange.

Xia Xingchen hastily explained: "No, no, it's not that kind of fight... I just saw that your mid laner is so good, I want to learn from you solo, but I'm sure I can't beat you, so..."

Lin Jiu laughed instantly, as if teasing a cat: "Stealing a teacher, little guy?"

Xia Xingchen blushed and didn't know what to say, so he said "wait" and kicked him out of the room.

Xia Xingchen's whole body immediately cooled down. He felt that he had said something wrong just now, and just as he opened Lin Jiu's profile picture to apologize to him, an invitation popped up on the screen.

He entered the room, and the two avatars on the screen turned up and down to form a solo duel lineup. During the formation of the confrontation team, there was no way to speak, so Lin Jiu typed:

- How to pay the tuition fee?

"..."

This guy was too much, teasing the child back and forth, Xia Xingchen's ears turned red for a while, and his face turned pale for a while, and he finally got into the room to feel better, but he didn't know what to say when he was given this sentence.

Because he is really poor.

Can't pay tuition.

He wanted to say forget it, but he was reluctant to leave the room. Fortunately, after Lin Jiu finished saying that, he started the game directly. He used the mage Xia Xingchen played in the last 5v5 game. It seemed that he had saved it. The point is to teach him the meaning.

He first typed and asked Xia Xingchen to turn on the two voices, and then said: "Well, let me make a reservation first, if you play professionally, come to my team, otherwise I won't teach you."

Xia Xingchen never thought that he could still play professionally. He was just practicing as a substitute to earn living expenses, and he wanted to learn from Lin Jiu because he lost too badly in the round just now. Xia Xingchen was afraid that he would not be able to make money like this in the future.

But what Lin Jiu said gave him the possibility, and he couldn't refuse it.

He said "OK" in a low voice.

I didn't know how busy professional players are until I actually entered SQG. To waste training time teaching a random passer-by in the game how to play is simply a stupid behavior that was kicked by a donkey.

What's more, whoever didn't slowly figure out the style of play bit by bit, why should others teach him a word.

But Lin Jiu really taught.

Before meeting him, although Xia Xingchen fought hard, but he didn't know how to fight, relying on his natural touch to rush forward.

Great is great, but it hurts too much.

Lin Jiu helped him correct his injuries one by one.

But Lin Jiu didn't have that much time to play games with him and play 1v1 with him. Later, after Xia Xingchen knew that he was a professional player and had a live broadcast request, he used his customer account to sneak into fans every week and rushed into his room quickly. Anyway, it's going to score.

He doesn't compete with Lin Jiu for the mid laner, top laner, jungler, support, shooter, he knows everything and can play everything.

It was fine once or twice at first, but later on more times, Lin Jiu could recognize him every time, and even lost his temper with him once.

And the only time.

What he said was: "I teach you to play mid laner, what are you playing now?"

It was the first time Xia Xingchen was attacked by him, so he was too scared to speak, and it was only after a while that he heard him sigh helplessly: "From now on, tell me before pretending to be a water friend."

Xia Xingchen was on the verge of crying at the time, so naturally he should say whatever he said, but he didn't dare to go to the next live broadcast, and squatted in front of the live broadcast room to watch Lin Jiu play with his water friends, without saying a word to himself Shrunk into a quail.

Lin Jiu realized something was wrong halfway through the call, hung up the phone and sent a message.

He and Lin Jiu added WeChat to each other, and there was a delay in the live broadcast, and he received the message almost before the people on the screen put down their hands.

- are you not here

-……Um.

- The next game comes in.

Xia Xingchen froze for a moment, and happened to meet the eyes of the person on the screen looking at the camera.

Lin Jiu was not that famous, and he was a beta. At that time, SQG was not as well-known as it is now, but he was a professional player after all, and there were still hundreds of thousands of people in the live broadcast room.

There were so many people, but Xia Xingchen knew that the look was aimed at him.

He felt a palpitation, and when the invitation code for the next round appeared on the screen, he quickly squeezed in.

The room was full of people soon, but Lin Jiu didn't turn it on, and fiddled with the phone with her head down.

- come in?

Xia Xingchen bit her lower lip, replied with an um, and told him which one it was.

Then Lin Jiu smiled and miced directly in the game: "Will the fourth floor play mid laner? I want to play shooter in this game."

Xia Xingchen didn't know the significance of Lin Jiu letting him into the room and telling him until then.

During those six months, they deceived all the viewers and teammates with this trick. They only knew that when Lin Jiu started the live broadcast, he always didn’t want to play the mid laner, and asked a friend casually, and the opponent played very well, and Lin Jiu had quite a tactical style of play. elegant demeanor.

But they didn't know that those water friends were all alone, Xia Xingchen.

"The Age of Venus" was never written by Venus alone.

Xia Xingchen blinked, his eyes were a little red, but he was smiling. The barrage was reduced a lot. Some people didn't know what to say, and some people were begging him not to cry.

...Because everyone knew that Lin Jiu was dead.

Died under rumors and abuse, after being covered in injuries, died on the operating table, before Xia Xingchen entered SQG.

He didn't even call Xia Xingchen's name face to face, but he paid Xia Xingchen a sum of money until he entered the operating room to tell him not to listen to his mother's advice and go fishing in the sea, but to come to the team to play professionally, as if it was for him.

Xia Xingchen still didn't cry, his feet were a little cold, he was lifted up and nestled in the gaming chair, he looked through the camera and didn't know who he was looking at, his voice was low like a whisper, but he was extremely firm: "So I'm not satisfied... …I’m taking his share, how dare I retire after playing enough.”

How can he say that he has enough money, even if he dies in the e-sports arena, he deserves it.

The author has something to say: When I wrote this chapter, I deeply felt that Jianggou was not worthy (my mother dislikes it.jpg) You should be better to the stars! ! !gas!
