Chapter 5: The Cruel Reality
Just after seven o'clock, the five members of the Watchmen team walked out, and our group followed closely behind them.
On the way, we learned that the five of them were going to an Internet café in the ancient city to play a game, and this time the game was watched by many people, and the winning team could not only get a bonus of 10,000 yuan, but more importantly, it could be used to establish fame, which would be of great help to future development.
"We must go all out this time to win this battle, and maybe we can have a bright future." Ouyang Yi said excitedly as he walked, for this competition, Ouyang Yi took great pains and relied on a lot of relationships to get the qualification for this competition.
To put it bluntly, this competition is an exhibition match, but the prize money is expensive, and if you win, it will be of great benefit to your future development, at least it will become famous, so Ouyang Yi attaches great importance to it.
We followed the Watchmen team for about ten minutes, and stopped at the door of an Internet café, Ningcheng, where e-sports is very developed, so Internet cafes are quite large-scale, this small Internet café I feel that it is almost comparable to the scale of the lightning network club, it is really worthy of the city of e-sports.
When we entered the Internet café, the people of the Watchmen team couldn't be found, they went to register, and we were not in a hurry, just sat in the Internet café lobby and waited for their game.
At this time, there were many people standing in the lobby of the Internet café, all of them who came to watch the game, and they felt that they were too many to count at a glance, and everyone was excitedly discussing the situation of the game with the people around them.
I listened to it on the side, and I probably learned something, this team ranked in the top three in the ancient city in Ouyang Yi's mouth is called the Brilliant Team, which seems to be a very powerful team.
"Radiance Clan, Death Clan, and TNT Clan, these three teams can be said to be the three most powerful teams in our ancient city, I heard that they can barely compete with other districts."
"Hey, seriously, our ancient city is the weakest of the seven districts in Ningcheng, usually some large-scale events in Ningcheng do not have teams from our district, it's not that they don't want to participate in the competition, but the teams in other districts are too strong, and our district will be eliminated when we go, it's really a loss of points." Someone lamented.
Someone next to him was also embarrassed when he heard this, "There is no way, our ancient city is the most backward area in Ningcheng, there are few people who invest here, and many powerful professional teams can't make any money here, so they go to other districts, and in the long run, our district is naturally getting weaker and weaker." ”
"What are you sighing for? came to watch the game, and it was so sad. There were also people next to him who couldn't listen to it, so they immediately said.
"Yes, yes, those who came to watch the game, what else to talk about, by the way, what do you think of this competition?" Someone asked.
"How else can you look at it, it must be the Radiant Clan winning, I heard that their opponent is called Warden, it seems to be from a small city in the north."
As soon as he heard this, someone immediately sneered, "The Radiant team has won, what kind of powerful team can there be in the barbarian land in the north, last time, I played in the ranking, and I encountered a pit, which made me angry, and the whole audience did nothing, and kept sending people to the head, and then I sprayed it up, and I casually asked where he was, guess what?" ”
"What's wrong?" Someone asked curiously.
"That guy said he was from the north, and as soon as I heard it, I wanted to smash the keyboard and be paralyzed, is the game League of Legends playable by those barbarians? Hands and brains, playing a game can make me angry. ”
Seeing this person talk about his own experience, someone immediately answered, "As soon as you say that, I remember, the last time I played the qualifier was to let a northern primary school student give me a pit, forget the pit, and spray people, especially no Su zhì, northerners, the same as farmers." ”
Someone is at this head together, and the hall is immediately lively, a group of people are talking about their bitter experience, complaining about the northerners, this one says that the northerners are all pits, and the other says that the northerners are going to die, in short, this has become the place of the black north.
A few of us are listening to the fire, what's wrong with the northerners? Have northerners eaten your rice? As for being so dark?
Zhao Kaijun sat on the chair and swayed around, I knew that the fire in his heart was a little uncontrollable, to be honest, no one could swallow this breath.
If you are away from home, when you hear others say how the people from your hometown or the people on your side are doing, you will definitely be dissatisfied, especially the people in the hall are completely ruthless, and all kinds of anger spray northerners.
Although it was said so, but we really can't help it, we have just come to Ningcheng now, and we are not familiar with the place, if we get up and fight with them, in case we provoke the anger of the public, we will be really miserable, I am really afraid that those who have been cheated will rush up to fight with us when they hear that we are northerners.
"Bear with it and it's over." Qin Fan whispered to us that he had been subjected to this kind of discrimination at a very early age, so he had become accustomed to it.
We had no choice but to ignore the comments of the people in the lobby of the Internet café.
Fortunately, the Internet café didn't make us wait too long, and after about ten minutes, the game was about to start, and the players on both sides were seated.
The staff at the Internet café set up a huge widescreen in the lobby so that everyone who came to watch the game could see the game clearly.
The competition adopts the BO3 competition system, and the person who wins two firsts is the winner, who can take away a prize of 10,000 yuan, and can get a high degree of attention, which is very useful for future development, so not only Ouyang Yi and they want to win this competition, but the five people of the Huiyao team are not willing to give this opportunity to others.
Just as the game was about to start, and the players were making the final preparations for the game, everyone in the hall was not idle, discussing who would win today's competition.
"It stands to reason that the Radiance team is more likely to win, but that Overwatch team heard that it has been mixed in the ancient city for two years, and it is also powerful."
"Tut, it's been mixed up for two years and it's still like this, I think this team will be like this for the rest of my life, after all, the northern team."
These people's mouths are really indebted, they can talk, they can talk about the game, they will discuss the game, and they have to hang a northerner.
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Kaijun immediately said, "What's wrong with the northerners, have the northerners provoked you?" ”
As soon as Zhao Kaijun's words came out, the people in the hall turned their heads to look at us, and one person looked at us with disdain, "We said that the northerners are concerned about your." ”
"I am what you call a northerner."
"Yo, northerner?"
The crowd watched us turn heads and ears, and some even looked at us with bad intentions.
"I said, it turned out that a group of vegetables came to watch the game, and the northerners just studied honestly, isn't it? Do you have to come to trap people? ”
"Northerners get out of lol, you don't deserve to play lol!"
"It's just, get out, you don't deserve to watch the game!"
The people in the hall were all excited, one by one they were counting us down, telling us to get out, seeing them like this, we all clenched our fists one by one, and felt that these people were too bullying.
Because the hall suddenly became chaotic, the person in charge of the Internet café hurriedly ran out to see what was going on.
I originally thought that the person in charge would definitely scold the noisy people in the Internet café, but after he understood what was going on, he looked at a few of us with a look of disdain, and then symbolically said, "Watch the game well." And then the man left.
Seeing this, I'm angry, what's the matter with this Nima? We were mocked by a group of people in this place, and as the person in charge of the Internet café, we didn't explain a word?
Qin Fan stopped a few of us who were a little indignant, shook his head at us, and then whispered, "Here in Ningcheng, many things are very distinct, southerners look down on northerners, locals look down on outsiders, I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is the reality, don't blame the cruelty of reality, we can only say that we are not strong enough." ”
"Brother Fan, I can't bear it!"
Zhao Kaijun said with some grievances, not only him, but we all felt aggrieved, obviously just to watch a game, obviously didn't do anything, just because we are northerners, outsiders, we have to be looked down upon?
Not long ago, we were students at the school, but for the sake of our dreams, we left the campus and embarked on a difficult road, and it was only at this time that we realized that campus life was really beautiful.
When we came to this city, we thought that we would be treated gently by this city, but now we understand that this is the place where dreams begin, but it is also the entrance to hell, and the fairy tale world will always be only in the imagination, reality, and cruel.
Because the person in charge of the Internet café has come forward, these people don't dare to make too much trouble, but there is such a group of people who are still very unhappy with us.
"I don't think I'll kick them out, I think they're quite pitiful, so let them watch."
"That's it, just watch the game, don't talk quietly."
"After this team of watchmen is abused, let these northerners know the gap with us, and they won't have the face to stay here."
"Haha, okay, just let them, the barbarians of the north, watch their team being tortured and killed by us." Someone gloated.
We listened to these people, looking a little ugly, and our fists were clenched, but in the end we sat down and prepared to watch the game.
What can we do?
Why don't we make a big fuss here and let someone else kick us out of the Internet café? Then it's really embarrassing, and maybe people will say, "Look, those northerners are really vulgar people, and they have been kicked out." ”
It's a scene I don't want to see, so even if we are looked down upon, we can only knock out our front teeth and swallow blood.
Just when the crowd in the Internet café hall gradually calmed down, Ouyang Yi and their game began.
