On July 8th, the weather was fine and it was an ordinary day, and the official blog of the PAL Esports Club, which has tens of millions of fans, closed comments in a rare way. The five teenagers walked off the stage listlessly, and left the arena with the coach behind them, and the audience was silent, except for the hands raised by fans and huge light signs still flashing in the stadium.

The host's hand holding the microphone trembled a little, looked around, and still tried to say in a high-spirited tone: "So, let's congratulate AA on winning this BO3!" ”

There was sparse applause at the scene, and some fans even left the venue early. Before the start of the prepared interview, the media reporters who appeared there felt that their thinning hair continued to fall out, and they really didn't know what to ask in the face of the figure dangling in the audience.

"Today's interview is Noisy, a jungler from AA Esports Club, who was transferred from the second team as a substitute who was ordered to defeat the team PAL, which has been winning in a row, how do you evaluate your performance today?"

The spotlight was on the young man who was standing lazily on the stage, his short hair scattered between his eyebrows, and a pinch of red hair on his right was particularly obvious, he raised his eyes to take the microphone and looked at the countless pairs of eyes in the audience. Anticipation, doubt, curiosity, hostility.

What a familiar feeling.

The young man was tall, a head taller than the host who interviewed him, tilted his head disdainfully, and his obviously underbeaten expression was perfectly saved by a face that was indignant and became a little charming.

"I played at my level today and my teammates worked well together, but the whole PAL team was a bit out of shape...... It's a little average. ”

The host was stunned, the reporter's camera flashed, and there was a confused expression on his face.

This person is too arrogant, isn't he?

On this day, the e-sports circle has been on the hot search for a long time, and "Noisy Interview" was pushed to the first place, and the word "explosive" was added to the end. It was followed by the "first defeat of the PAL season", which made PAL fans cry without tears, and in the face of the abuse under the official blog, they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they had to play dead.

At the same time, on the second floor of the AA e-sports base, the center of the topic - Noisy players sat in comfortable e-sports chairs and boarded their QQ.

As soon as it went online, QQ came with a continuous coughing sound, he was scared, and quickly quit but the computer was stuck, and under the gaze of everyone, he turned on the silent mode with some embarrassment, and smiled at other teammates.

Then a phone call was made.

The phone rang and it was picked up, and an earth-shattering roar came from the other side: "Smell the strings!" Are you at the base, come out, Lao Tzu is going to kick you to death and pick your skin, no, you should first sew your mouth with a needle and hang it upside down at the door of the PAL stadium to let the audience vent their anger...... You're not human......"

Wen Xian took the phone away from his ears with great foresight at the moment when the other party spoke, and the person on the other side of the phone was full of anger and roared out the hands-free effect, spitting fragrant for ten minutes in a row, and the vocabulary was amazing, and there was no repetition at all, which was breathtaking.

Smelling the strings, Noisy, the red-haired monster who had just brought a wave of rhythm in the e-sports circle, listened to this phone call at this moment, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Shang Ergou," he said slowly, "I won this bet." ”

The other side was silent for a moment, "When are you coming to the First Division?" ”

"Don't worry," Wen Xian said, "are you worried about me?" ”

"At your level, you don't have to waste your time and money in the minor leagues, you're wasting your time and finances......"

"Do you want takeout?" A member of the team walked by.

"Which one?" Wen Xian stretched his neck and shouted, "Don't eat hamburgers, anything else!" ”

The person called "Shang Ergou" listened to the pleasant sound of the strings on the other end of the phone, and fell into an angry silence.

"Hey, hey, it's not hanging yet, are you? Coming to Solo? Wen Xian finally remembered that he was still on the phone.

"Hmm."

Go online and log in to your account.

Top of Hope, or TH for short, is a 5v5 competitive game that launched in the UK eleven years ago and quickly became a global hit. At present, it has developed into a professional league with a certain scale, and now, the league has gone through ten years.

Tens of millions of fans, as well as countless professional players, hosts and commentators with dreams. And when they enter this game, the shadows of the great gods will always appear in front of them, as if that is their future.

Among them, the player who has been mentioned the most times is tantamount to Fire, Shang Ziyao, who is known as the "top of the players" and "the overlord of the middle lane of the first division". Among the countless teams with shooters and junglers as the core, PAL's tactics of using the mid-laner system as always have been unbreakable. So tonight, when the streamers and viewers from all walks of life full of negative energy opened the game, they found the huge banner above the game, "The god-level player you follow PAL-Fire is online", and their hearts were all excited.

Vulcan was not beaten to self-containment, but practiced more diligently, worthy of being a professional player at the rank level! The pride of the China Division!

Quietly clicked on the spectator mode, the great god adjusted the equipment, played a few games of man-machine, and abused the opposite side.

Then, he clicked on a game...... solo。

Soon after, another player enters the room, operating Ora, the king of ruins.

Shang Ziyao typing: It's fun, let's take a serious game.

The opposite character twisted his body and said, "Look at my ID."

"If you see Shang Ziyao, you will send it."

Shang Ziyao's anger can also be felt through the screen, he started this game, his character "Legend of Jianghu" Changqing rushed up with a shuriken, and then found that the opposite side jumped on the rugged rock twice, looking at him condescendingly.

The map of the Top of Hope game is interesting, it is a high mountain, and the two characters fight each other as they climb to the top of the mountain, and the last person to stand on the top of the mountain and push off the crystal is considered a victory. There are three factions of characters in it: Eastern Fantasy, Future Science Fiction and Western Mythology, and the scenes of characters fighting in the same world view appeal to players with different aesthetics. And the operating systems of the characters in the same camp are also more similar. Shang Ziyao is a typical Eastern player, while Wen Xian prefers the future camp.

The character of the King of Ruins moves lightly, and the setting is a somewhat perverted and sickly scientist, wearing a silver-gray suit and pilot's goggles, and at this time, Shang Ziyao looks at Ora's smile, as if he sees the same provocative smile on the other side.

The swordsman Changqing waved his long sword and rushed straight to the top of the mountain, Ora was invisible, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Changqing.

Bombs, knock flying. Changqing's huge force was bounced away and fell to the foot of the mountain, and Ora jumped a few more steps. But he was knocked to the ground by a heavy sword, and half of the health bar disappeared in an instant.

Wen Xian put on the headphones and turned on the voice: "Shang Ergou fouls!" Okay, don't bring your gear, what are you doing? ”

Shang Ziyao: "I'm angry. ”

Shang Ziyao: "Some people treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, kill my teammates to win my games, and make my mentality lead me to rhythm." ”

Ora flew up the mountain road, using his ultimate move to fly lightly on the smoke-paved heavenly road, and suddenly stopped when he heard this, suspended in midair.

Chang Hao suddenly burst out, flying and slashing him down, the sword light was great, with anger, Ora had just run out of ultimate, and he had nowhere to dodge during the vacuum period of the skill, so he was taken away with a blood.

"Brother, don't be angry," Wen Xian smiled bitterly, "You know that I have never liked stability, wait, sooner or later, I can wait until the day when I become famous, I hope that my ID prefix will be AA by then." ”

"It's been a year! How long are they going to keep you? Shang Ziyao operated in his hand, with anger in his voice, "I've been playing professionally for so many years, can I still not understand?" Why didn't you transfer to the first team, it's not because of that ......"

"Shang Ergou."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Wen Xian's expression gradually became serious, and his character was resurrected, and Ora got up from the ground, brandished the reagent in his hand, and exploded a brilliant firework. Euler opened his bow left and right in the smoke, laughing maniacally, and reciting the line:

"Ora is adventurous, and he won't admit defeat when the sky falls!"

Shang Ziyao sighed, knowing that this topic could not be talked about anymore. I simply concentrated on the operation. Despite the advantage of equipment, as a close-quarters assassin, Ora's bombs kept consuming the swordsman's health, and his flexible movement made him unable to dodge, the ghost's figure appeared and disappeared in the mountains, the tip of the sword pointed at him for the first time, the scientist smiled and stepped forward to meet the sword light, and a scattered bullet fixed the swordsman in place.

The swordsman turned around and dodged, and the long sword switched to a short sword and plunged into Ora's belly.

"You don't dream for too long." Shang Ziyao's cold voice came from the earphones.

Euler fell to his knees, and the swordsman raised his feet, but was frozen in place.

Ora's special skill, Ground Trap.

Three seconds, enough for Euler to replenish his HP and throw the poison before the swordsman recovers, opening his ultimate and flying to the end.

"I want to win more than anyone else, I want to win more than anyone else. There were a lot of people on this stage today, and I saw your signs, and I could hear the cheers of the audience when we were wiped out, wearing headphones. I'm envious, I love it. Wen Xian slowly manipulated the character to chop off the crystal, the crystal slowly shrunk, the light dimmed, and the whole mountain let out a loud roar, and Wen Xian's voice was particularly firm in it.

"So, don't worry about me, I'll come."

"When you come to the First Division, I'll kill you with my own hands." Shang Ziyao said.

"Okay." Wen Xian smiled happily.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the audience who was waiting for Shang Ziyao to continue to rank found that he had quit the game and was never online again. The strange players who played against him were ranked all night, winning more and losing less, and at dawn the next day, they finally came to the position of the eleventh national server.

That morning, the second-team substitute Noisy ended the temporary glory of the first division, boarded the train to the south alone, and returned to the second-team base, leaving only a departure announcement. AA's starting jungler, who was hospitalized for acute gastritis, returned to the first team and is ready to return to the game tonight.

"Why didn't I make any other noises at that time, so that the audience could still remember me...... Remember a little longer. Wen Xian leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery outside the window, his face was still full of indifference, but the words typed out by his fingers revealed his thoughts.

He is only seventeen years old, that is, a hot-blooded Internet addict teenager, AA found him from the national service list, gave him a bite to eat, and gave him a stage, he insisted that the future was also there, and everything was complete.
