Chapter 1: The Neglected
In Shencheng, an apartment of about fifty square meters, Li Wei was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, and only his head was outside the quilt.
The air conditioner was whirring, and the bedside table showed a room thermometer of 19 degrees, and if anyone saw it, they would definitely scold the owner for being a psychopath.
It's November!
Even in the middle of summer, people who turn on such a low-temperature air conditioner are pure men.
However, Levi, who was covered in the quilt, was unaware of it, and he was staring intently at the notebook that was still lit on the desk, his eyes were slightly dull.
"The squid has been hooked by a hammerstone! TFO was forced to take over the team, and the commander also entered the field, if he can get rid of the opponent's ad in seconds, then this wave of team battles can still be played! β
"Oops, the squid was the first to be killed, and the commander almost hurt it...... In that case, the game will be gone......"
In the voice of the narrator's grief and indignation to hysteria, the TFO team, which is the blue side, was directly taken away by a wave of annihilation.
2-3, stop in the quarterfinals.
Almost immediately after this clip was played, it was repeated again, over and over again.
I don't know how long it took for the shrill cell phone to ring.
Li Wei picked up the phone and saw the familiar number on it, and his godless eyes gradually focused.
"Hello?"
Levi's voice was a little hoarse, and it was evident from the filled ashtray on the table and the two bottles of mineral water that had been cut off but were also filled with cigarette butts, and there was a reason for his hoarse voice.
"Come to the club today and negotiate a contract."
On the other end of the phone, a deep voice rang.
There was a sense of command in his voice, which Levi had become accustomed to, he glanced at his hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." β
Hanging up the phone, Levi got out of the bed and began to clean up the room.
He's not a sloppy guy, but the World Championship blow was a bit hard for him to swallow.
League of Legends has been in its ninth year since its development has passed eight years now.
The 24-year-old Li Wei is already a veteran in the professional circle, although he is not the oldest, but he is almost the oldest in the domestic midlaner.
While cleaning up the table, Levi saw a piece of paper.
The letters on it are unusually glaring.
ALSγ
After holding this piece of paper and looking at it for a long time, Levi suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's time to retire too." β
Standing in front of the mirror and shaving, Levi looked at himself in the mirror.
The ordinary-looking slightly chubby young man, the most brilliant eyes also looked a little hollow because of the depression during this time.
Pinching his face, Levi shook his head, from the end of the World Championship to the present more than 20 days, he has gained more than a dozen pounds, and it is not good to go on like this.
Originally, he used to be a handsome guy.
It is said that one white covers all ugliness, and one fat destroys all.
Li Wei, who hadn't looked in the mirror for more than 20 days, thought so.
After washing, and looking at it again, it was really much better, Levi grinned in the mirror, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "From today on, change your identity and start again." β
Thanks to Levi's usual preference for looser clothes, he doesn't feel too tight when he wears them now.
Opening the door, Levi squinted his eyes, he hadn't been out of the house for more than 20 days, he was like a vampire encountering the sun for the first time, he was very uncomfortable, and even his skin felt a little prickly.
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, and within 20 minutes, Li Wei arrived at the club's base.
There is also a small garden around the eight-story base building, which can have such a scale on the boundary of Shencheng, which is inseparable from the wealth of TFO, Li Wei looked up and saw the club's logo hanging in front of the building.
A giant orange.
TFO, Blazing Orange.
As the leading club in China, Blazing Orange has a wide range of fields, and the League of Legends project has a leading level of popularity in the field of e-sports, so TFO naturally spares no effort to develop.
Entering the door of the club, from a distance, Li Wei noticed the club manager Li Tao who called him.
Li Tao doesn't have a big belly, he looks like he is in his thirties, he is in a suit and leather shoes, and he is very sophisticated, but Li Wei, who knows him, knows very well that although both of them are surnamed Li, their values are completely different.
Li Tao belongs to a businessman who pursues profits to the extreme, and has earned a lot of money in the past two years as a club manager, while Li Wei, although he has been professionally earning for so many years, is also very high, but it is contrary to Li Tao's concept of "making money".
However, Li Wei also has to admit that TFO has been operated to this extent, and it really needs someone like Li Tao to come, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the club will be yellow in a yellow stall if he is replaced by someone like him.
Li Tao also saw Li Wei at this time and beckoned to him.
"Coming? I was talking to you just now, let me introduce you, this is a rookie mid-laner player who has just passed the trial, the king of Hanbok has 800 points, and the trial results are excellent, and I finally snatched it from other clubs. β
While speaking, Li Tao was also paying attention to Li Wei's expression.
"Hello senior, I'm Zhang Zijie, IDthor."
The young man standing in front of Li Tao turned his head and greeted Li Wei.
"Hello."
As a veteran game nerd, Li Wei is not very good at talking, and he feels that the seniors in Zhang Zijie's mouth are purely habitual politeness.
So he just nodded, which was kind of a greeting.
"That Zijie, you go to the dormitory on the third floor first, and Levi will come with me."
β¦β¦
followed Li Tao all the way to the office, pushed open the door, and Li Wei saw the emaciated figure sitting on the chair at a glance, and his footsteps paused.
"Here comes Lao Li."
When the young man saw Levi, he stood up and smiled, but his smile was somewhat reluctant.
Squid, whose real name is Wu Hao.
Top ADC in China.
TFO can operate as the first club in China, which is inseparable from the strength of the team.
The all-Chinese class, coupled with the highly praised top double C.
Even if the strength of the upper unit is slightly inferior, the overall strength is still among the top three strong teams in China.
It's just that in the S8 World Championship, the squid attracted the attention of countless trolls.
Now it seems...... Well, it's thinner than before.
It's a bit of a monkey.
"You guys talk first, you can drink as many drinks as you like in the refrigerator, I'll go get the contract now, and the others will renew the contract, and you'll be left alone."
"Hey......"
Before Li Wei could show his intentions, Li Tao had already left the room.
"Yes, the food has been good lately."
Wu Hao glanced at Li Wei up and down, and spoke, with a somewhat sour tone in his tone.
"Takeaway feeds."
Levi walked to the refrigerator and threw Wu Hao a can of drink: "Are you going to renew the contract?" β
"What if I don't renew the contract, do I still have a team like this?"
Wu Hao stretched out his hand to take the drink, took a big sip of it, and immediately burped: "What about you?" Ready for a few more years? β
"Me?"
Levi walked to the sofa and sat down: "I'm not ready to renew my contract this time." β
Looking at Wu Hao, who was stunned, Li Wei said in a calm tone: "You don't want to continue to play with a person who has five games in BO5, has been suppressed every game, has no cauldron but has nothing to do, right?" β
The office fell silent.
Click.
The sound of the can being pinched and twisted sounded.
"I ...... I want to retire. β
