Chapter 1 Want to retire and change careers? No way!
E-sports this special industry has gone through many stages from the beginning of the millennium to the present, after several generations of efforts, from the beginning of the resolute resistance by the public, to now slowly accepted, pay countless e-sports people's heartache, and just like the stars in the sky, there will always be the most flashing one, from the beginning of StarCraft, Warcraft in D one ta, and then the current L one L is League of Legends.
League of Legends from 10 years of Riot internal beta to now after 3 years, the atmosphere of the entire country has begun to boil like boiling water, and LPL, as the top league in China, has become a place that all Chinese e-sports players and bosses are fascinated by, just like Jerusalem's status for religious believers, many young people came to Shanghai from all over the country with enthusiasm, began to enter various upgrade modes, and were even defrauded of money by many unscrupulous managers. It is to be able to represent the club in person on the competition venue one day and start a game from the LPL!
In the LPL league, the teams are also different, there are strong teams and weak teams, and "Xingchen", as the midstream team of the LPL of the top league of the Chinese League of Legends, although it can only be in an embarrassing position in the league, and even for rushing out of the country to participate in the S series finals to win glory for the country, there is no hope for the existence, but what does it matter, after all, for the boss of Xingchen, he is just a businessman, and businessmen care about profits, as for dreams and honors, It is always just a mixture to motivate young people to work hard, as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter what else matters.
"Zhi Min, have you thought about it, there is no turning back after handing over this piece of paper, and you also know that Lao Chen, that vampire, has long wanted to clean us up," At this time, there were two young men wearing the uniforms of the Star Team standing outside the door of the general manager of the Star Club.
The tall boy standing on the left smiled bitterly and then patted him lightly who was about to snatch the piece of paper he was holding: "Xu Tao, you should know, this is not something that I can not return if I don't pay, at our age now, if I can't play, it is equivalent to a slow death, and the club has recently signed two new children, one jungler and one auxiliary, don't you understand, instead of waiting to be cleaned up, it is better to be a little more free, at least you can make the last stroke of your career proud!" ”
"Me! I'm not convinced, why, why did we work so hard to play, how many days and nights of qualifying just to play, but why didn't that old ghost coach just give us play! Xu Tao looked at the word "big retirement" in Hu Zhimin's hand, and a sour feeling surged through, leaving two lines of tears uncontrollably.
"Brother, I'm here, I will have the opportunity to come to Changde to find me in the future, delicious food, good drink and good hospitality! Xu Tao had forgotten when Lin Zhimin came out of the manager's room, and only heard the farewell voice in a trance, and he just kept muttering: "Lin Zhimin, I, Xu Tao, will not allow you to be a deserter like this!" Wait for me! “
Just after Lin Zhimin dragged the box out of the dormitory of the players of the Star Club, no one saw him off, including Xu Tao, who didn't know where to go, his former teammates were all training, and no one made any waves of his emotions because of the departure of a waste substitute.
As for the club's side, there is not even too much to say, there is only a very simple routine notice, just like informing the team players of today's training time, not to mention the club is still like this media news, for them to report on a little-known L one L mid-stream team substitute jungler, and not to write a star player's lace news is more concerning, this is the reality of the e-sports circle, as a professional player, no results and even breathing is wrong.
"Goodbye Xingchen, goodbye to my three-year career," Lin Zhimin finally took a deep look at the building behind him, and then left without looking back, not that he forgot his dream, but that a year of substitute career has completely worn out his last enthusiasm, the kind of coach commitment again and again, but again and again on the list of darkness, this feeling he has completely enough, even if he is unwilling, he plans to say goodbye to the past completely, and return to his hometown to accept his parents' arrangement to be a small staff member who eats and waits for death, Maybe that's the best thing he's a 23-year-old should do!
"Anyway, damn Shanghai, I'm gone, and I'll never come back! I just hope that Xu Tao can forgive himself as soon as possible, and the rest doesn't matter," this was Lin Zhimin's last thought after getting on the train and leaving the city, and everything else was drowned in the roar of the train starting!
2 months later, July 2013
In a very ordinary urban house in Changde City, Hunan, a young man with headphones is humming a song comfortably, and from time to time he takes a piece of cut fruit from the table next to him and puts it in his mouth, which is very pleasant.
"Zhi Min, you stinky boy forgets to take your phone every time you go to the toilet, what if you are outside, your dad should beat you up again when he comes back! Answer the phone, I don't know where it was called! Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Lin Zhimin, who was listening to the song, was frightened by his mother who was cooking dinner.
"Hehe, mother, as long as you are not willing to beat me, do you need a reason for my dad to beat me violently" Taking the mobile phone in his mother's hand, Lin Zhimin smiled at his mother's back, and then connected the phone without looking at it.
After a second, an unfamiliar female voice came from the strange phone: "Hello, are you Lin Zhimin?" “
"Know me?" Lin Zhimin glanced at the phone suspiciously, making sure that it was an unfamiliar number, and then continued: "Yes, I am, do we know each other?" “
"We don't know each other now, but we will definitely meet again in the future, maybe the relationship will be very good, hehe" The girl on the other side of the phone became even more excited after confirming her identity: "Excuse me, are you free tomorrow weekend?" Can I treat you to a meal? You can rest assured that I'm alone, and I'm definitely not a bad person! “
Listening to this pleasant female voice, the expression on the face of a certain otaku began to become exciting, and he was speechless with excitement for a moment, and then his heart suddenly became shocked: "Damn, isn't it, Lao Tzu's wish for so many years on the meteor is finally going to come true?" It turns out that the peach blossom luck is really so sudden? “
"Hello, Lin Zhimin, are you still listening?" Seeing that there had been no movement here for a long time, the female voice on the other side of the phone said tentatively.
"I'm here, no problem, then tomorrow night, you can set the local time, I will be there on time," Lin Zhimin endured the excitement of being asked by his sister for the first time, and then pretended to be calm.
"Okay, I'll send you a message when the place and time come, then I won't bother you for now, see you tomorrow, bye!"
"Doodoo Doo"
Lin Zhimin, who hung up the phone, still has an unrealistic feeling, and after slapping the phone call record and repeatedly confirming that it was not him dreaming just now, he continued to devote himself to the song, and the melody that seemed boring and meaningless became pleasant at the moment when he put on the headphones.
In fact, you really can't blame Lin Zhimin for being such a dick, after all, for a former professional player who has been single for 23 years and is not extremely good at communicating with girls, it is definitely a very, very rare thing for a girl to take the initiative to make an appointment, thinking of a happy life that may be off the list in the future, how can he not be excited!
After spending an exciting night, Lin Zhimin got up very early the next day and went to the small company introduced to him by his parents, he didn't need to go to work, but his bullshit leader suddenly called him to work overtime, if it was usual, Hu Zhimin definitely wanted to reason with him, but he gave up at the thought of a date at night, because now even overtime is beautiful!
And just when Hu Zhimin was working overtime on the crazy weekend, at noon, in the Changde Railway Station, a girl dragged a black suitcase from the T234 train from Changsha to Changde and walked out.
"How do you get to this place?" The girl looked around, and after taking a look at the strange city, she took her mobile phone and asked the eldest brother who was standing next to her.
The eldest brother glanced at the address in the girl's mobile phone, quickly pointed out the way, and left quickly, if Hu Zhimin was present at this time, he would definitely be very surprised, although he didn't know this girl, but this voice was the girl who called him last night!
Lin Zhimin, I want to retire and change careers! Impossible! The girl with a delicate melon seed face couldn't help but laugh when she thought about her prospective boss gritting her teeth when she sent her this address, it seems that their relationship is really good! For the dream of being a team leader, I must work hard and complete the task assigned to me by the boss!
I hope that most of you will give your opinions, leave more messages, thank you for your collection and support
