Chapter 8: Live Broadcast Career (5)
"......I have never experienced anything like this, and I can't imagine what it is like to repair cables next to the septic tank, just listening to Lao Xu's description, I feel nauseous."
"Because of the harsh working conditions, we worked for two hours. As a result, when I returned home, I heard that because the power outage was too long, we maintenance workers were complained by users and had to be assessed and deducted money. ”
"That's too much, isn't it completely unreasonable."
"The user is the owner of a factory, and because of the power outage, he had to let the workers leave work early, saying that we caused him a lot of losses, so he had to complain and ask for an explanation."
Lao Xu continued: "That night, I kept taking a shower in the rental house, and I washed for more than an hour, but I always felt that there was still a residual smell on my body. I could only endure the nausea and wash my clothes by hand. ”
The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Although everyone is a netizen, I can't help but feel some sympathy for Lao Xu's experience at this time. In every way, I am much luckier than Lao Xu.
I said, "This job is hard and tiring, and I have to be angry, so I might as well change careers." ”
"It's easier said than done, I don't have any other skills except playing games, unlike you, who is good at reading. Finally, there is a place willing to teach me some other survival skills, and the treatment is acceptable, so I will mix it up first. "Because my conversation with Lao Xu was conducted in words, I couldn't hear his tone, and naturally I couldn't guess his joys and sorrows.
"Brother Xu, no matter what you do, let's work together." I started to stew chicken soup because I really didn't know what to say to someone in this situation.
"I used to think that it was difficult to be an esports player, and the competition was fierce and stressful, but then again, which line of work is easy? Presumably, sitting in front of the computer and playing your favorite games is really a good home. Then again, how are you, have any professional teams contacted you these days? Lao Xu changed his mind.
Speaking of which, I told me about the fact that I received an invitation to the youth training of the Eleventh Apostle team a few days ago, but not only was I treated unfairly, but I was also kicked out because I offended the gun that watched the field.
"Turret?" Lao Xu said, "I know people, good people, not like you said." ”
After reading Lao Xu's words, I was indignant and said, "How is it possible? He said he didn't know you, he hadn't heard of your team, and he said that people who play city games don't deserve to be called pros. ”
Lao Xu: "Impossible, although I don't know him very well, he still enthusiastically instructed me when I was playing professionally before." Moreover, since he said he didn't know me, how did he know that I was playing in the city game? ”
"That's right." I slapped my head, "What is the purpose of him doing this?" ”
Lao Xu: "I don't know about this, but the company's previous reputation in the professional circle was to take great care of newcomers, otherwise the team wouldn't let him be in charge of youth training, don't you say?" ”
Although I believe Lao Xu's words, but the so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, and if the two-year retirement career is not satisfactory, who knows what a person's character will be transformed into?
I added: "And he said that he was going to PK me with one hand that day, but he still secretly used both hands, and at the end he mocked me." ”
"Hmm...... I can't tell. I'll send you a video and you'll see what new ideas might come from. Old Xu said.
Then, he sent a video link on WeChat, and I clicked on it to see that it was the last battle before the battery was retired, and it was also the life-and-death battle of the eleven disciples in the playoffs. I've watched this game before, but since Lao Xu sent it again, I'd better come and see what the mystery is.
The live broadcast of "Book Title" is similar to other esports events, the main screen is the game screen, and the two small frames in the lower left and right corners will give the player's shot. The content of the game was similar to what I remembered, the eleven disciples had the advantage, but at the critical moment of the team battle, the turret threw his fist to pursue the opponent's bloody archers, and as a result, the operation error was counter-killed, and the tide of the battle was reversed in an instant.
This time, though, I focused on the player's shot, and this time I noticed something different: the small shot in the lower right corner of the turret was chasing the awkward mistake made by the opposing archer, and his right hand with the mouse twitched visibly.
This action is all too familiar to me as a frequent player of competitive games - mouse disease. That is, neuropathic pain caused by crooked fingers in people who hold the mouse for a long time. And this fatal injury came at the time when the battery made the most critical operation. In all fairness, the battery itself is a player with a more aggressive style of play, so the choice of this pursuit is not too much of a problem, and under normal circumstances, he has at least an eighty percent chance of killing the opposing archer.
After losing the game, the live broadcast was also given to the battery, and he buried his face between his arms and crawled on the table. I don't know if it was at that time that he made up his mind to retire.
This is a video from two years ago, and the video content is only a few hours of competition, but the video barrage is full of criticism and abuse for two whole years:
"Is this guy in the battery an actor?"
"Hurry up and retire the battery, don't be ashamed."
"The money has arrived, and the fort is not a loss."
"It's like a 1,000-point weak chicken."
……
After watching this video again, I had some mixed feelings in my heart. Recall what was said to him in anger that day
"Just fight me again, don't pretend here, do you know why you retired? Because you dish! The game that lasted two years was because of your wise manipulation Eleven Apostle lost the opportunity to qualify for the playoffs. If you don't have the ability to play, you will suppress the youth players here. You may have blocked the bullet for the club management, no, they will let you do it. ”
The battery in the video finally stood up and shook hands with his opponents one by one, and I noticed that at this time, he could only stretch out his left hand to perform this pretending "friendship first, competition second" ceremony.
Seeing this, I was a little confused: a player who trained tirelessly in order to win the game, and finally went on the field with injuries, but was retired by endless abuse for poor performance, could really be such an arrogant and deliberately suppressed youth player?
"Brother Xu," I replied, "I've finished watching the video." ”
"Then you should have seen that from the beginning of this competition, the battery has been plagued by a serious mouse disease, and I have heard that the battery is very sick and can never recover in two or three years. This is the real reason for his retirement. ”
