"Xiao Ke, you kid still know to come back. The boy closest to him jumped up and smacked him in the chest, "You're going to scare the captain to death, you know." ”

"I know, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore. But if I don't run out, I won't be able to run into my senior sister. Now my senior sister invited us to dinner, and the captain joined her and her boyfriend to let us hurry over. If you don't go, I'll go by myself. ”

A group of half-sized children is the age of gluttony. Usually the captain is not bad for them, but after all, the funds are limited, and most of the time they invite the aunt to cook for them, and the meat has not been broken, but the taste is not good.

When I arrived at the barbecue restaurant, I saw the captain and a young man and woman sitting by the window. Seeing them come in, he directly arranged two tables and put them together.

"We don't have a lot of people in the team, even me, there are eight of them. Come, a few of you will introduce yourself to Sister Chen and Brother Zhou. ”

The captain's expression was unusually light-hearted. Several children glanced at each other, starting with Xiao Chubby, introducing their names and the location of the game.

They are playing a very popular gunfight game, Chen Yixin and Zhou Sheng don't play this, and they are very unfamiliar with them. But their emotional intelligence is not low, even if they don't understand, they will listen carefully to the teenagers, and occasionally ask a few questions from Xiaobai, which will make the teenagers have a sense of secret and excited excitement.

Halfway through the meal, the captain clinked glasses with Chubby and spoke.

"Later, you pack up your things and let Xiaopang take you to live in the apartment sponsored by Brother Zhou. ”

The teenagers were stunned for a moment, but fell silent. After a while, the slightly older young man surnamed Wei spoke up and cautiously asked the captain if he didn't plan to continue to be a team.

"What are you thinking. The captain scolded with a smile, "We're lucky to have met a good person." Sister Chen is Xiao Ke's senior sister, she can't bear to hear about you, so she wants to help everyone. The accommodation problem is solved first, and then the development plan is yours. ”

The captain took a sip of wine, choked and coughed twice, wiped his mouth, and sniffled.

"To be honest, I'm not very qualified as a captain. He half-bowed his head, holding the beer glass in one hand and propping the other hand on his knee, "I am reluctant to give up the team, but I also know that I can't lead everyone down on my own." In fact, in the past six months, I have also thought about it many times, whether I should simply disband, everyone is still young, go back to their own homes to find their own mothers, like Xiao Ke, you can continue to go back to school, and take the university entrance examination in the future, it is not better than spending time here with me. ”

Several of the younger children's eyes turned red, and even the youngest began to sob with his head down.

"But come to think of it, I can't be so irresponsible. Everyone gathered here for a dream, and if you don't even try it, you may not be able to let go of it for the rest of your life. Two days ago, I planned to sell the Internet café, scrape together enough money, and take everyone to fight for the last one. So this time was very strict with everyone, a little unkind, I'm sorry. ”

"No, Captain, it's our bad that always makes you angry. Don't you want us. ”

Xiao Ke wiped his eyes and said sharply: "What are you crying about, since the captain has spoken today, there must be a countermeasure." Isn't it sister?"

"You're smart. Chen Yixin didn't want the atmosphere to be too gloomy, so he took over the topic of the captain, "I'm very happy to have this opportunity to meet you." I don't know much about esports, so I'm not in a position to dictate you on how to do it. But luckily, I still have some money. So, I talked to the captain for a while, and I plan to officially set up an e-sports club, and the manager will be your captain, and the captain will let Xiaopang serve for the time being. ”

"No, no. ”

"Listen to me first. Chen Yixin looked at the cramped chubby with a smile, and briefly told a few teenagers about his plan.

She didn't understand the technical things, but the business things these children couldn't understand, so she only said three of the most specific.

"I temporarily moved out of the Internet café tonight, and I didn't have too many apartment rooms to stay in, and you have to share four rooms. Then the next step is to find a place to build a club base, which includes accommodation and training grounds. I'll arrange for someone to do it. Thirdly, you are sincere in continuing in this industry, and you can't go long with momentary excitement and impulse, so I will ask a special coach and team to conduct an evaluation of you. The results of the assessment will be communicated to you individually. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the team with relatively poor skills looked a little unpleasant.

"Since e-sports has the word competition, it represents competition and elimination, this is a reality, and you have to accept it. Of course, it doesn't mean that the assessment will drive people away, and the communication step includes a personal plan for the future development of all of you. When the time comes, you can talk to the person in charge of communication. ”

The captain kept his head half-bowed, he didn't know in his heart that not everyone in the team was suitable for playing, but these children gathered because of him, let him drive people, he really couldn't speak.

Fortunately, when these were said, the teenagers had almost eaten, and few people were still in the mood to continue eating and drinking, and after hurriedly finishing up, everyone returned to the attic of the Internet café in groups.

"What are you going to do?" said the other teenager, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"They're going to respect us? I think they're trying to squeeze us. Tell the captain that we're not going. ”

Xiao Ke's face sank, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by another companion and pulled him out of the room.

"Xiao Ke, don't speak. They were both scared. ”

Needless to say, Xiao Ke understands what he is afraid of. These two people really love e-sports, but the technology is not good, and they don't really want to practice hard, they think it's good now, someone has food and shelter, and they can still have a little pocket money every month, and they can play games if they want to, and they can sleep when they want to. If you go to a club, you might as well be free here.

"We all know this, but you can't tell it. That's your senior sister, you have to avoid suspicion a little. Rest assured, the captain will definitely have an arrangement. Go pack your things, let's go first. ”

In addition to those two, there was one who didn't really want to leave. That teenager didn't have much love for competition, he just wanted to play games, his goal was to practice now, and it would be good to make money to support himself.

That night, except for the two of them, everyone else went to the apartment arranged by Zhou Sheng with little luggage.

The apartment is not far from the Internet café, two and a half stops by car, a very beautiful high-end garden community, elevator building, eighteenth floor.

Xiao Ke's family conditions are not bad, and although he feels new to the things here, he doesn't think too much about them. But there are also families in their team who are very poor, and they have never seen such high-end furniture and household appliances, and they are careful to turn on a faucet, for fear that they will not be able to afford to pay for it.

As they explored the room, the doorbell rang.
