Chapter 7: Making a Living from It (2)
However, this incident still left obvious sequelae, and the events of this night made me answer when I was asked about my relationship with Xie Liuying in an interview later: "It's just an ordinary teammate, an ordinary good friend." "I always seem to be a little lacking in confidence.
And Xie Liuying also nervously patted her heart after an interview and whispered to me that she was just asked an entertaining question: "What are the vices of your teammates?" She almost blurted out, "Chen chats about snoring when she sleeps." ”
In the afternoon, I returned home and explained to my parents in detail the idea of going into a career.
Me: "That's the thing, although nominally I actually earned enough 5,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan of this was given by my mother." ”
My dad gave my mom a blank look and said to me, "I saw your income this month, it's really good, I won't be able to make so much money until I'm about 30 years old." And you've also visited a game company, and according to you, the game has the potential to come back to life. ”
Me: "Hmm. ”
Dad: "You're an adult yourself, I trust your judgment, but you're responsible for the decisions you make." I know that it must be difficult for you to refuse the invitation of your childhood idol, and I have read the contract he gave, it is indeed very sincere, and there are no pitfalls. But the e-sports industry is a youthful meal, which you should know very well, if you give up the opportunity to go to college but can't get ahead, the difficulty of life in the future will be greatly increased, I hope you take it into account. ”
Me: "I have a lot of considerations, including what to do if my career doesn't go well. ”
Dad: "You can think about it, I don't have any opinion, I should have done things as agreed." But the 1,000 yuan was given by your mother, which means that she supports you to play professionally, but it depends on her meaning in the end. ”
I turned my gaze to my mother.
Mom frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Dad kicking the ball to her: "Your live broadcast and the income on the contract are really good, I watched this, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't play, your dad and I have enough savings to live happily for a lifetime." ”
Me: "I'm not going to gnaw at the old age. Mom, you don't have confidence in your son for 20 years? I was able to lose weight back then, and now I can get into college, you have to believe that even if I can't play esports in the future, there will always be a way to support myself. ”
Mother: "You can, now, pretend to be an adult in front of Mother." If you go to play a game, I don't have any opinion on anything else, but how can I find this object in the future? Will there be any girls who like to play games specially? ”
Me: "......"
Dad: "You don't understand this, young girls nowadays are different from us, and they really like this." ”
Mom: "I'm still not at ease, Chen Liao, you tell me about it yourself...... What is the plan for this? ”
Me: "What do you want me to say?" ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and I opened the door and found Xie Liuying standing at the door:
"You left your wallet in my bag," she saw that my parents were in the living room, and hurriedly greeted generously: "Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Xie Liuying, a good friend of Chen Liao, I often hear him mention your second elder, saying that he is not only capable, but also very reasonable, I am very envious." ”
My parents were obviously stunned for a moment, and then they replied: "Ah, Xiao Xie, hello, hello." ”
Xie Liuying turned to me and said, "Okay, then you talk to your uncle and aunt slowly, I'll wait for you downstairs." Then she waved her hand to my parents and said sweetly, "Goodbye uncle and aunt." ”
When I Xie Liuying went downstairs, I closed the door, and I felt that the air seemed to freeze for a while, and no one in the family of three spoke first.
This scene was completely unexpected by me, and it was probably like this.
Before I got on the plane, I explained to Luna, that we both had the idea of pursuing a career, but I had to get the consent of my parents before I could finally sign the contract. The place we agreed with the moon god was not far from my house, so as soon as I got off the plane, I rushed home first, because of the way, Xie Liuying waited in the café downstairs.
As for the fact that I left my wallet in her bag, I brought a big suitcase with me when I went out this time, and now the weather is not completely cold, and the clothes are relatively thin, so it is inevitable to panic when I put my wallet in my pocket. I put my wallet in her bag for the time being, girl, everyone understands, the bag is actually a decoration, and the bag does not leave the body.
But how did this person find the exact house number of my house? Oh yes, I have a specific home address on my ID card in my wallet.
After a long time, my mother finally spoke: "How did you and the little girl just now meet?" ”
I'll tell you the truth: "If you know you through games, you may have to be teammates in the future." ”
Mom: "Okay, then I don't have an opinion, you can go, don't make people wait too long." ”
Me: "......"
I went downstairs, but saw Xie Liuying waiting downstairs, and looked a little surprised to see me come out: "So fast? ”
I smiled helplessly: "Thanks to you." ”
In order to avoid delays, we had to leave a margin of space, and at the moment there were about three hours before the agreed time with Luna. How do you spend this time? Only dragged large and small boxes of Internet cafes to sit in a row.
As soon as we started playing the game, we noticed that there was another big news on the bulletin board, and the game actually opened a new event without warning, called "Face to Face with the September Eight Sentai Team." ”
While this summer has focused on live streaming and playing professionally, there has been less focus on the league than it has always been. But I also know that this September 8 team is the biggest dark horse in the league this year.
The team had just made it from the second division to the top flight this season, but they made it all the way to the semi-finals in the eyes of everyone. In the end, it was a pity that in the semi-finals the day before yesterday, he lost to the powerful Shuren team.
And this time it happened:
It should be said that such a result has just entered the top league, whether it is the fans, the players themselves or the team management should be satisfied with this result, but who knows that there was a big dispute yesterday, which made the game public opinion that had been calm for a long time boil again.
The reason is simple, the team set a reward goal at the beginning of the season, if the team enters the playoffs, then each player will receive 100,000 yuan, if they reach the semi-finals, then they will receive another 200,000 yuan. Because the team is small, there are only five players in the team, and there are no substitutes, so there is nothing wrong with this money being distributed to everyone.
As you can imagine, since the playoff spot was secured, the players of the September 8 team have been thinking about when the money will be disbursed. However, until the eight-in-four game, the playoff prize money has still not been settled.
