After returning to Qingzhou, Zhou Rui and Chu Ziqiu parted ways before entering the city.

Chu Ziqiu had no interest in the so-called game competition. Compared with this, it is more important to report the harvest of this medical forum to the old family.

Zhou Rui didn't force him to go with him, after all, it was his own business. And if it weren't for finding someone to endorse Pinglan Village, he might not have contacted the so-called game team.

Although this tournament is an official league, it is only the early group stage, which is not too important.

In addition, the Dragon Scale team is ranked first from the bottom in the league, and its previous results are not very good, so its popularity is sluggish.

Although there are many young people in Qingzhou, there are not so many who are willing to pay to watch this kind of game that is not too interesting.

When Zhou Rui arrived at the competition venue, he heard cheers coming from inside.

The competition venue is located in a second-rate gymnasium in Qingzhou City, which is not too big, and since the construction of the new gymnasium, it has been reduced to an activity center for the elderly.

It is used to hold game competitions, which can be regarded as "waste utilization".

Knowing in advance that Zhou Rui, the sponsor, was coming, Qiao Zixuan, the manager of the Dragon Scale Team, came to the door early to wait.

As soon as he saw Zhou Rui, he greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, it's a coincidence that you came, the game is in the BP stage, and it hasn't officially started yet." ”

"What is BP?" asked Zhou Rui curiously.

"It's about getting rid of some heroes before the game that we don't want to see and prevent them from being picked up by the opponent. Qiao Zixuan explained a few words simply.

Zhou Rui didn't understand very well, the game he was best at might be Tetris.

Today's plane was on time, and Zhou Rui did not delay much time after arriving in Qingzhou, but because the equipment on the competition venue was too old, there were many small episodes, resulting in a delay of nearly 30 minutes.

"How is the team's performance?" Zhou Rui asked as he walked, although he didn't play many games, he also knew that the higher the ranking, the higher the popularity.

The expression on Qiao Zixuan's face was unnatural, and he didn't dare to tell the truth.

Zhou Rui sponsored their team for the first year, and as a result, he heard that he was the first to the bottom, and it was possible for others to withdraw on the spot.

However, although Qiao Zixuan wanted to fool the past, he didn't follow people's wishes.

When the two of them walked backstage, they happened to run into the manager of the opposing team.

They are all insiders, but in fact, the managers are very familiar with each other.

Seeing Qiao Zixuan and a strange man walking side by side, the manager of the opponent's team stepped forward with a smile and said, "Feiyu, the game is about to start, what are you wandering around?"

Qiao Zixuan explained to Zhou Rui in a low voice: "Feiyu is my screen name, and we all call the screen name on one side of our circle, and rarely call my real name. He is the manager of the Heavenly King team, Lao Xiong, and he is very old, and he has been a manager in this circle for more than six years. ”

Then, Qiao Zixuan said to Lao Xiong again: "This is my friend, Mr. Zhou." ”

He did not directly say that Zhou Rui was his sponsor, because the strength of the Tianwang team was very strong, and they won all three games in this league and tied for first place.

If Lao Xiong knew that Zhou Rui was a gold owner, in case he came into contact in private, Qiao Zixuan would not dare to guarantee that he would be able to compete with the Heavenly King team. And as far as he knows, because of the increase in strength, the Tianwang team and the previous sponsor are a little unhappy because of the contract, and the contract may be terminated in the near future.

This kind of thing of being poached into the corner of the wall is easy to happen in any circle, so it is natural to be cautious.

Zhou Rui didn't pay much attention to Qiao Zixuan's introduction. In his opinion, the relationship between the sponsor and the team is not an exaggeration to say that it is a friend, and it benefits each other.

Lao Xiong didn't know Zhou Rui's true identity, and he didn't mean to ask, so he just said with a smile: "It is said that you are the most popular among all managers, and sure enough, you dare to bring your friends in this kind of competition, and you are not afraid of being laughed at if you lose?"

"Lose?" Qiao Zixuan's face turned red, and he said, "We haven't fought yet, how do you know that we will definitely lose!"

"You know it when you look at BP, the coach you looked for last year, Pepsi, is inexperienced. Isn't it clear how the spring game was played last year? I didn't even have a chance to make the playoffs, and I heard that there were conflicts within the team because of the coach's problems?" said Lao Xiong with a smile.

There is no way to block the news of this kind of thing, as long as it comes out, it will definitely spread.

After all, in addition to managers, coaches and players, a training base also has many logistics and field personnel. Relatives and friends, including those people, sometimes come to play, and not everyone can keep it a secret.

If you want to completely close the management of the training base, it is unlikely.

It's just a game clan, not a real army.

"Okay, seeing that you're angry, I'll just talk about it. But to be honest, we had a lot of luck this spring. If you win three games in a row and win again, you may be the first in the points. It's you, lose four, and it's hard to turn over the penultimate one. Old Bear said proudly.

"You talk a lot of nonsense! Who loses and who wins, it's not certain, South Korea's BH team rushed from the bottom to the top in the summer game, haven't you seen it?" Qiao Zixuan said with a stumbling head.

The old bear laughed, waved his hand, didn't say anything more to him, and turned away.

Judging from his behavior and language, Qiao Zixuan's words were a complete joke to him.

What strength do people have, what strength do you have? Not all the penultimate ones have this qualification to sprint.

Watching Lao Xiong enter the lounge, Qiao Zixuan scolded his mother angrily in his heart.

At this time, Zhou Rui's voice came into his ears: "The team is now ranked first from the bottom?"

Qiao Zixuan's body trembled, then he looked up at Zhou Rui, and said with an embarrassed face: "Hmm...... For the time being, only temporarily. The strength of our team is still very strong, and last year we finished 7th in the region!"

The Dragon Scale team is indeed ranked seventh in the domestic division, but there are only fourteen teams in the entire division. If you remove the two promoted horses that have just come up from the minor leagues every year, there are actually twelve teams.

Ranked seventh, like the gangsters in the back row at school. The difference between the seventh and the penultimate is not particularly big.

There are often three or four teams that are really strong in a region, and there may be one or two at the least.

Zhou Rui doesn't know much about these, but he has a wealth of experience, which can be seen from Qiao Zixuan's expression.

Seeing that the other party was very nervous, Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Okay, don't be afraid, even if you really keep being the first, I will sponsor it." Don't forget, Jinlong and I are relatives, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

Hearing him say this, Qiao Zixuan remembered that Qiao Jinlong, one of the new bottom-lane combinations who joined his team, was Zhou Rui's cousin.

It was precisely because of Qiao Jinlong's relationship that Zhou Rui contacted the Dragon Scale Team.

With this level of relationship, this year's sponsorship should not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly smiled, and said, "Then let's go to the lounge first, this game should almost start." ”

Zhou Rui hummed and followed him to the lounge.

In fact, when I first heard that the Dragon Scale Clan was ranked first, it must be false to say that I was not disappointed.

Everyone wants to spend money and sponsor teams to be ranked higher and bring enough benefits to themselves.

The same is true for Zhou Rui, but unlike those sponsors who have been mixed with him for many years, he sponsors the team, purely to test the water and play tickets.

If you can't do it, you can continue, even if it doesn't work, you don't expect too much in itself.

So after a moment of disappointment, Zhou Rui quickly thought about it.

After entering the lounge, Qiao Zixuan called up the group of people sitting in the room and introduced Zhou Rui's identity.

Sitting in the room were the team's substitutes, coaches, and other staff members.

I heard that Zhou Rui was this year's sponsor, and a group of people were enthusiastic and respectful.

This is the gold owner, so naturally he should be entertained well.

Sitting in the middle position, Zhou Rui looked at the big-screen TV in front of him, Qiao Zixuan and coach Pepsi left and right, explaining the content of the game for him.

In another room, Lao Xiong sat in front of the TV, and a person next to him said, "Who did you seem to see flying fish greeting at the door just now?"

"He said he was a friend, but I think that person has a good temperament, and he is a little familiar, as if he has seen it on some news, and it is estimated that it may be his new sponsor. The old bear replied.

"Can they still find sponsors?" said the man with a mocking look on his face.

Even the lowest ranked teams can usually find sponsors, after all, not every sponsor likes to spend a lot of money.

Anyway, no matter what rank you have, according to the rules of the game, you will play against all the teams. In that case, why spend so much money if you spend the least amount of money and can still show your face when the most popular team appears?

Lao Xiong smiled and said: "Looking for it, I guess it's some kind of rich second generation, I want to learn from Principal Wang to make trouble." ”

"Almost, I don't know much about our circle, and I don't know how I was fooled in by the flying fish. If you really do, you have to come to us!" said the man.

Lao Xiong laughed a few more times and said, "Okay, it's not an important person, anyway, he will know which team to sponsor later, watch the game." ”

The man next to him hummed and didn't say anything more.

They didn't take the dragon scale team led by Qiao Zixuan in their eyes, let alone Zhou Rui, and even in their opinion, Zhou Rui was a stupid and wronged leader who sponsored the wrong team.

With the strength of their Heavenly King team, they don't need to take such a character in their eyes yet. Every year, there are countless brands that want to cooperate with them, and many of them are multinational companies!

At this point, the game has officially begun.

"You see, this is the map of the game, divided into three lines, each line has a soldier line, and it starts every thirty seconds. There are six creeps at a time......"

Qiao Zixuan carefully explained the basic knowledge of the game, if these things were asked by others, he would not bother to talk nonsense at all. But every time Zhou Rui asked curiously, he took the trouble to answer.

"There are more than a hundred heroes, and from time to time some will be added that have just been made, and each hero has four skills, all different, which is particularly fun. Knowing that Zhou Rui had never played a game, Coach Pepsi said diligently: "If Mr. Zhou wants to learn, he can come to our training base when he comes back." The computers and internet are the best, the screens are very large, and there are enough sparring partners for teaching. ”

As he spoke, Qiao Zixuan and Pepsi looked at each other for a moment, and both affirmed each other's thoughts.

As long as Zhou Rui goes to the training base, even if he is a novice who can't even replenish soldiers, he must let this gold master experience the ultimate pleasure of doing whatever he wants in the game!

However, Zhou Rui shook his head slightly and said, "This is too complicated, I don't have much time to play, so forget it." By the way, did you just say that the golden dragon was the one with a bow and arrow?

Coach Pepsi looked back at the TV, then turned his head and said with a smile: "That's right, he is considered a success, and it is still the first blood." ”

When he said this, Pepsi was suddenly stunned, feeling that something was not quite right.

He turned his head abruptly, stared at the TV carefully, and after reacting, he suddenly shouted in surprise: ", this kid Jinlong can do it, the second level will take a blood on the line?"

A substitute player next to him nodded and said: "This guy has something, his positioning and timing are first-class, no wonder he can win so many MVPs in the minor league before." ”

Many people in the room shouted for joy, as if they had won the battle if they had killed one of them.
