The summer is hot, the leaves are swaying, and the listless screams hidden in the trunks of the trees are calling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Moyou fanned his shirt, took half a cigarette in his mouth, and squatted on the road in a daze.

This unemployment is really not a joke, he has been in Yandao City for nearly two years, and he has already spent almost all the savings on hand, he has distributed leaflets, worked as a network administrator, entered a factory, and tried all kinds of jobs that do not require too much technical content.

It's a pity that in these jobs, even the longest network administrator will resign after a month. The reason for this is nothing more than lack of energy, a salary of less than 2,000 a month plus social subsistence benefits, and after paying the rent plus three meals a day, I can't even save a pocket money.

Smiled awkwardly, the past was unbearable. Li Moyou shook his head, turned on his mobile phone and continued to search for application information.

"Meteor, meteor, that's how you like to be fleeting~"

Just then, the phone rang. Caller ID, Chen Ying, the leader of the Shanhai Clan.

Shanhai Sentai is a nationally renowned professional esports club that is involved in the world's most popular esports sports, including one of the world's most popular competitive online games, Valoran League.

Developed and operated by the internationally renowned game company Amber Fist, Valoran League is a MOBA competitive online game with comprehensive semi-virtual reality technology.

"Hey, Captain?" As soon as the phone was connected, a familiar man's voice came from the phone.

"Don't call me Captain anymore, I'm not who I used to be." Li Moyou deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to say deeply.

"you, get down to business." Laughing and scolding, the man continued: "Are you interested in returning to Shanhai, even if you don't play, you can be a coach." ”

"Hehe, I'm not from Shanhai, why talk about going back?" Li Moyou said with a sneer.

After the other party was silent for a while, he sighed and said, "We are also very sorry for Xiao Feng's death. If we could have stopped her at that time......"

Li Moyou hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, as if he didn't want to mention this topic, and said, "But it's not your fault, it's not my fault, this is fate." ”

"Retire at the prime of your prime." The other end of the phone sighed again: "It's been almost two years, why are you bothering your talent." ”

"It can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions." Li Moyou sighed and said.

"Hey, I don't know how to persuade you." Chen Ying lit a cigarette and said, "Have you heard of the game "Oracle"? ”

Since that incident, although Li Moyou swears that he will no longer be involved in e-sports, he has always paid attention to online games, after all, this is his hobby since childhood.

Oracle is a new cross-era online game from Fist of Amber, which is said to be a reference to fully virtual reality. The game's promotional footage is very popular, and it is often seen on websites large and small, and even in TV commercials.

And it even claims that the brains responsible for computing game content "Amber" are jointly developed by the world's most powerful countries or organizations such as China, the United States, and the European Union, and can be called the most intelligent and powerful computer in history.

Of course, there are also conspiracy theorists who claim that the mastermind of the game is the black technology of aliens. After all, even the military currently does not have such cutting-edge virtual reality technology, and now it is put into civilian use, and it is used to play games, which is unbelievable when you think about it.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Ying spit out a puff of cigarette and said: "Through the publicity of the past half a year, the oracle can be said to have mobilized the focus of the entire game circle. A few days ago, the club's senior management even said that the next step would be to cut the investment budget of "Valoran League" and go all out to enter "Oracle". ”

"Oh, did they get any inside information?" Li Moyou said with a smile. For a game that has not yet been officially operated, he will give up his profit points for many years, and he will definitely not believe it if he has no insider.

"Yes, some time ago they collectively attended the annual meeting of the Amber Fists headquarters and experienced a so-called complete virtual reality on the spot." Facing his old captain, Chen Ying did not intend to hide anything, and continued: "According to the high-level management, once the oracle is officially operated, it will subvert more than 80% of traditional online games!" ”

"Whether you're a studio player who makes a living out of games, a casual gamer, a role-playing player, or even a professional competitive player like us, you'll find your place in Oracle! So to put it mildly, in order to make way for the oracle, the Valoran Alliance is not far from Guanfu. ”

Li Moyou was stunned, as a former professional player, he knew how influential the Valoran League was. Such a global online game will be closed when it is closed?

After thinking about it again, he laughed and scolded: "As you said, Mader is almost closed, what do you mean by pulling me back to play professionally!" ”

"Hey, this wasn't yesterday's meeting, the marketing director gave us a task to take the league championship, leave a record for the past, and make a good start for the future."

"These people just care about these false names."

"There's no way, in their opinion, fame is commercial value, and it's the golden yuan."

After Chen Ying complained, the two chatted about the "Oracle" for a while. With the news revealed by Chen Ying's half of the insiders, Li Moyou's understanding of the oracle deepened.

The first is hunger marketing, Bo Eyeball's internal beta announcement: the national selection of internal beta elite players, the quota is limited to 10,000 people, and the game warehouse experience is free of charge.

Then there is the painting cake: according to the slogan of "Internal Testing to Create God" on the homepage of the official website, this is an era where content is king and entertainment is paramount! As long as you dare to fight, you can get 10,000 yuan of star start-up capital for clearing the novice trial; As long as you dare to break through, a million booster funds are waiting for you after level 10! Qualifying, dungeon masters, and guild overlords will all enjoy the treatment of real stars!

According to its meaning, it seems that becoming a game star is very simple, and one step to the sky is just around the corner.

In short, Li Moyou completely regarded these fanciful propaganda slogans as a lie to deceive children.

If it's so easy to make money, it's so easy to become a star, why do you still go to school and work, you can stay at home and play games.

"I also think it's a bit outrageous in publicity, and you can give money at every turn when you play a game, and you can send it in units of 10,000." Chen Ying coughed and said in an extremely serious voice: "But it can also be seen that it is menacing, and the oracle has the potential to become the world's number one online game." ”

"Hahaha, since it's the first online game, then I'll play the oracle, why don't I play the league championship with you." Li Mo is difficult to take care of.

The other party also seemed quite embarrassed, and after being silent for a while, he continued: "Team Li, I actually know that the conditions in your family are not very good. ”

"If you win the league championship this time, the club will give everyone a bonus of more than 200,000 yuan."

After saying a few more words, Chen Ying, who knew that he couldn't persuade the other party, lit a cigarette again, and said with a sigh: "The team is struggling without you, the first assistant in the league." ”

"Don't say it, I swore that I would never touch the Valoran Alliance in my life."

"Well, well. In the future, if Team Li plays with oracles, you can say hello to me and everyone can play together. ”

"Okay, watch your body, bye-bye."

Hanging up, the blinding sunlight hitting his shoulder. His eyes were full of mixed feelings.

Just a few days ago, his mother also talked to him about work.

In the past, his parents were always against him playing e-sports. However, with the change of the times, virtual reality games have evolved into the leading industry of online entertainment, and e-sports competitions have a reputation comparable to the three major ball leagues.

Playing games, and being able to play games, is gradually being accepted as a professional skill.

As a professional player who has been immersed in e-sports for many years, after retiring, he took up other professions, only feeling out of touch with society.

"Otherwise, you might as well go back to playing professionally." Li Moyou remembered that his mother hesitated for a long time and said, "Mo Ting needs a lot of money to study abroad, and we are a working family." The family depends on your dad alone, and he can't afford it. ”
