Chapter 111: A trip to the e-sports club
"Brother Hao, let's go to our e-sports club for a visit!"
He Dongqing's fox tail was immediately exposed.
Looking at his glittering eyes, Wen Hao wanted to refuse but didn't know how to speak.
"What's so fun about the e-sports club!"
Fortunately, Miss Zi didn't buy it, and when Wen Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, He Dongqing immediately said: "The main thing is to visit the training of the e-sports team!" β
"Esports teams?"
Zi Ting's voice was full of surprise.
Wen Hao wordlessly admits that this is a good move.
As an association of enthusiasts, the e-sports club may not be enough to arouse Ziting's interest, but the e-sports team is different.
Although it is not a professional team, it is more or less an amateur! And for Miss Ziting, who once dreamed of participating but was eliminated, it is a mysterious place with infinite attraction.
"No, it's not good to disturb your training." Wen Hao tried to refuse, it seems that He Dongqing's preparation yesterday is probably this show, and he always has a premonition that once it passes, he will be involved in an unclear relationship.
"Huh? It won't bother you......"
"Xiaobai, let's go! I'd like to check it out! β
He Dongqing was originally disappointed when he heard Wen Hao's words, but Zi Ting's words rekindled his hope, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you can come to us is simply splendid, how can it be said to be disturbing!" β
"This ......"
Having said that, Wen Hao is not embarrassed to refuse anymore, this small request is objectively not too much, and besides, Miss Zi said that she wanted to go, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to "sacrifice his life to accompany him".
"Then let's take a look."
Maybe it's because of gratitude, or maybe it's because of that trace of affection, Wen Hao has always been basically responsive to Ziting's needs, and he himself doesn't know how much territory she has occupied in his mind.
"Uh-huh!"
Zi Ting happily forked a small piece of cake and stuffed it into her small mouth to chew.
And He Dongqing almost danced.
When it was close to one o'clock, the three of them finished eating, because He Dongqing swiped the card when he checked out, so the specific amount Wen Hao did not know, but he thought it was good, so as not to know the bill and not be able to sleep at night.
Drove back to Jade Bird again, this time on another boulevard, under the guidance of Ziting and He Dongqing, Wen Hao parked the car next to the closest teaching building to the club activity area.
"This building is an electronic information training building." Pausing in front of the gate of a U-shaped building, He Dongqing introduced to Wen Hao, "There are eight floors in total, and the classrooms on the eighth floor are for all clubs that need to use computers, and the rest of the floors are teaching floors. β
"However, esports clubs make up 30 percent of the classrooms." Zi Ting added later.
"So big?" Wen Hao was slightly surprised, a club has as much activity area as it has, and an e-sports club alone occupies nearly one-third of the territory, which means that there are many people.
"Because the school e-sports team also belongs to the e-sports club." He Dongqing explained noncommittally, "And after all, there are two hundred people in the e-sports club. β
There are actually 200 people!
Wen Hao thought at first that Holly was the leader of a small group of more than a dozen people, but now that he understands it, he realizes that he really underestimates others.
However, He Dongqing didn't think it was a big deal, and skipped it in a few words, as if in his heart, these things were not worthy of showing off in front of his master.
Taking the elevator to the eighth floor, He Dongqing said: "Usually, the e-sports club starts its activities at ten o'clock in the morning and lasts until ten o'clock in the evening, and at any time during this time, members can come and participate in the activities. β
Isn't this an Internet cafΓ© in disguise?
Wen Hao was speechless in his heart.
"We will hold a screening competition every month to test the strength of the members, whether to participate or not is in their personal wishes, and the champions and runners-up of the screening competition can choose to join the second team of the school for training."
Wen Hao realized that the next words were the focus of He Dongqing's speech: "The members of the second team will be selected into the first team after being affirmed through competition and participation in the competition, that is, the school team. β
"The person who enters the first team is a veritable representative of the school, which is a symbol of the level of the blue bird in e-sports."
"I see." Wen Hao thought that as long as he signed up to show his skills, he could enter the school team, but he had to go through so many formal procedures.
After arriving on the eighth floor, as soon as I got out of the elevator door, I saw a plaque of "Jade Bird E-sports Club" hanging next to the two glass doors.
Through the glass door, you can see that the interior decoration is simply a copy of the Internet cafΓ©, if it weren't for the lack of a front desk, and the seats are ordinary computer chairs, Wen Hao almost thought that he had come to a mid-range Internet cafΓ©.
"This is the hall, and there are eighty machines in total." He Dongqing said, "Usually the members of the club carry out club activities here. β
"Won't it be enough?" Wen Hao asked.
"It's a little bit, but it's said that there are more than 200 people, and in fact, not everyone will come, and they may not necessarily get together if they come, so I'm not very nervous at the moment." He Dongqing said, "But the holiday time is often full." β
Wen Hao knows, this is what a first-class university like Jade Bird will do, everyone accepts students who love learning, so e-sports is always a hobby for most students, and they will not be too concerned.
Because today is not a holiday, the number of students in the hall is not very large, and most of them are male, all of them are playing together in twos and threes, all the way over, 70% of the people are playing Tianji, I have to admit that Tianji is indeed the day in the e-sports circle now.
Some people noticed He Dongqing's arrival, greeted him with a smile, and raised their heads as if they were rippling with water, and within a few minutes, everyone knew that the president was coming.
At a certain moment, He Dongqing was like the chairman of a large company who came down to inspect, how proud and proud he was.
However, He Dongqing didn't put on a show, but greeted everyone with a smile, so that they didn't have to care about themselves, and then turned around and continued to receive Wen Hao and Ziting.
"Look, isn't that Ziting from the Literature Department?"
"Damn, it's really her, the real person is more beautiful than what you see in the photos!"
"How can the president be with the goddess of blue birds? Will it be successful? β
"Who is the man walking next to them? How do you feel that he is very familiar with the goddess? β
"Is the president entertaining them? Who the hell is that man? Such a big shelf! β
Because of He Dongqing, sharp-eyed people soon noticed Ziting's existence, and the discussion was sparse, and Wen Hao, as the only raw face, naturally received the most attention.
Wen Hao, who couldn't stand the focus of his gaze, said to He Dongqing: "Let's change places, I'm done visiting here." β
"Wait, let's go inside; Inside is the Athletic Zone. He Dongqing immediately noticed Wen Hao's discomfort for this kind of occasion, and hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way, "This is usually not open, but it is a special area for us to hold various competitions. β
In the second half of the hall, you can turn into a passage, continue to walk forward, there are two rooms on both sides of the passage, one large and one small, the small room is used for stacking sundries, so there is no special visit, turn to the big room, the decoration is elegant, the pattern is reasonable, and the style of the competition area on the third floor of the Tianji Internet cafΓ© is somewhat similar, the room is separated into two areas by a soundproof glass, and there are five high-configuration machines respectively, which is the e-sports special field of Blue Bird University.
"Our school's e-sports has just started in recent years, so there is no other school that has a special e-sports area in the gymnasium, but uses it temporarily, although there is no way for the audience to watch it live, but the situation here and the picture of the game will be broadcast in real time on the electronic screen of the gymnasium in the form of broadcasting."
"Although the venue is a little simple, the quality of the machines allocated to us is unexpectedly high." He Dongqing asked the two, "Do you want to experience it?" β
"No need." Wen Hao obviously didn't catch a cold.
"Uh-huh!" Zi Ting nodded excitedly.
For Wen Hao, this is a small room for competitions, and he doesn't understand the meaning of entering here, but as a student of Jade Bird University, Zi Ting knows that in Blue Bird University, this room is the place where all e-sports fanatics in this school dream of entering, because entering here means that you are already a leader in e-sports in Jade Bird, and you have a supreme glory.
Those members outside, they are only a few dozen steps away from here at the moment, but just these dozens of steps away, they may not have a chance to step over during their college years, let alone have the opportunity to use the computers here like Wen Hao and Ziting.
As soon as He Dongqing opened his mouth, it was such a big benefit, Wen Hao didn't appreciate it, it didn't mean that she wouldn't appreciate it!
As soon as Zi Ting expressed her will, He Dongqing ran to turn on the power without saying a word, and then started one of the machines, signaling that Zi Ting could sit down and use it.
Zi Ting sat down happily and held the mouse, and the helpless Wen Hao was like a father with a naughty daughter, following behind for a moment, for fear that he would cause trouble.
Under He Dongqing's guidance, Zi Ting opened a common single-player shooter game from the menu and couldn't wait to start trying, while Wen Hao and He Dongqing watched from behind, as if the computers here had all kinds of games.
"These machines are liquid-cooled and have the best configurations, so they can easily run all kinds of big games." He Dongqing proudly introduced.
Wen Hao nodded, he could see from the smoothness of the game played by Zi Ting that these machines were indeed worth a lot of money.
"That's great!" Zi Ting couldn't put it down, "It's twice as high as the machine in my store!" β
"Where's the machine?" He Dongqing was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"She's saying she doesn't have the machines at home." Wen Hao helped explain that Zi Ting was a little unstoppable when she was excited, if the goddess opened an Internet cafΓ© accidentally spread out, she would think about it with her toes and know that it would inevitably set off a storm.
"Yes, home machines generally don't use such a high configuration." Fortunately, He Dongqing did not entangle.
"Are you in charge of everything here?"
While waiting for Ziting's game, Wen Hao suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"Hmm." He Dongqing scratched the back of his head, "Actually, I am the person in charge of the second session, so the food is ready-made." β
"The second session? It would be hard. β
He Dongqing's words just verified what Ling Yu said, Jade Bird's e-sports is indeed only in its infancy.
"No, it won't." He Dongqing shook his head and said confidently, "E-sports has been my dream since I was a child, and I still remember it very clearly, when I was 12 years old, I watched the live broadcast of the Tianba Global Finals on a friend's TV. β
"In that game, our Huaxia player participated in the battle with illness, and he was not favored, but at the critical moment, he burst out with unimaginable strength, and played a wonderful operation that I will never forget, and killed the opponent with residual blood."
"Since then, I've always wanted to live as a professional esports player, and I want to be like that player, no matter what kind of predicament I am, I can still stick to my beliefs and create miracles that will shock the world!"
Sure enough, it's a young man's dream......
Wen Hao listened silently, but did not make any comments.
Everyone has an impassioned ambition when they are young, and five years ago was no exception, but it is a cruel fact that some people achieve it, and some people become their stepping stones.
After saying this, He Dongqing smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "But I'm not so naΓ―ve now." β
"Huh?" The change in the words of this sentence was beyond Wen Hao's expectations.
"I'm a junior this year." He Dongqing said softly, "Although I got a professional license through hard work, I have failed not a single interview in all the interviews I have participated in over the years, and sure enough, professional players are not just anyone......"
"Maybe you're missing something." Wen Hao didn't know how to deal with this sudden heavy topic.
"I know, lack of strength." He Dongqing is downright, he didn't escape from reality, he wasn't depressed when he said this, maybe he had vented at some point, right? Or have accepted the facts, "I have worked hard after all, so I have no regrets, and now I just want to help our school get a good score, so that Jade Bird E-sports can continue for a long time." β
The underlying meaning is that if you can't get results, Jade Bird University may give up on cultivating e-sports majors, after all, if you want to win a place in a sports major that has never been involved, you first need a lot of money and time as a cost investment, and if you can't see any good signs after the initial investment, it is very likely that the university will give up the follow-up investment for various considerations.
As the first batch of pioneers, He Dongqing's feelings for the e-sports team and the e-sports club will definitely be deeper than anyone else's, and he naturally doesn't want to see them die like this.
"Hmm." Wen Hao glanced at He Dongqing from the corner of his eye, now he seemed to have given up his wayward adult for the sake of his career, but Wen Hao knew that it was impossible to say that there were no regrets in his heart.
Moreover, Ling Yu has not invited him so far, that maybe, he is indeed a little bit behind, although Wen Hao feels sorry for him, but he really can't do anything.
So the conversation stopped.
After the two watched Ziting play for a short time, Wen Hao reminded loudly: "Ziting, it's almost enough." β
"Huh? Okay, people know......"
Zi Ting's mouth pouted slightly, and she reluctantly left the seat, but her eyes still lingered on the machines, like a child who was reluctant to put down her toys.
"It's okay, I can come back and try it again when I have a chance." He Dongqing took over and turned off the computer, he was neither humble nor arrogant during the last period of time, and waited quietly with Wen Hao, and he could clearly feel his deep sincerity, but thinking that he had survived more than six hours in order to see Wen Hao, then these few dozen minutes were actually nothing.
"It's already 2 o'clock, and the esports team's training is almost starting, so let's go over there and have a look, shall we?" He Dongqing Road.
The main purpose of this afternoon visit is here, and Wen Hao will definitely not refuse.
"Varsity training!"
Zi Ting, who was already a little gloomy, cheered up again when she heard this.
Out of the room, He Dongqing walked in front with a hearty smile: "Then please go this way." β
