"I didn't expect that the number one master of our underground arena turned out to be a person who didn't believe in his word."

Li Hong said coldly.

"I'm sorry, I can't leave our team."

NO.0 apologized for the second time, but his eyes were firm.

Xiao Xin looked at him steadily, NO.0's face was still cold, his body was as straight as a javelin, and he stood quietly in front of Xiao Xin, looking like he was resigned to his hair.

Xiao Xin sighed.

"Well, I'm not forcing you. But can you tell me which team you're on? ”

“FF”

Xiao Xin looked at Ah Ming, and Ah Ming spread his hands, saying that he had not heard of this team.

“FF？！ Wow! You're actually on this rookie team, how are you?"

Qizai screamed in surprise, and when the second half of his sentence was forced back by the cold god of NO.0.

"We're not a rookie team, no one is qualified to call us that!"

NO.0 was almost shouting, no one would have thought that this indifferent man would be so excited.

Xiao Xin waved his hand and motioned to Qizai not to speak.

"Is your team strong?"

Hearing this question, NO.0's expression changed from excitement to a little gloomy.

"No, we can't even rank in Chengdu."

Xiao Xin was also a little surprised, at the level of NO.0, he would be willing to stay in such a team.

"I guess some other team invited you, right?"

"Yes, both AS and KT asked me, but I refused."

“AS？！ KT？！ This is one of the best teams in China! Dude, are you alright, how many of these two teams have broken their heads and want to squeeze in! Do you want SK to see it? ”

Ah Ming couldn't help but scream, and Qizai covered his head on the side and made an incredible gesture.

"Hehe, you two living treasures still have a tacit understanding."

Li Hong was amused by the expressions of the two.

Bell bell bell! The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone seemed very harsh in the empty hall, and NO.0 took out the mobile phone.

"Such an old ringtone, this guy is old-fashioned enough!"

"Damn! Stinky boy, what's old-fashioned, I'm also this kind of ringtone, how trendy is yours? ”

"Hey, hey! Contra, do you want to hear it? ”

"Damn!"

Ah Ming and Qi Zai muttered quietly on the side.

"What! Someone coming to kick the field? I'll be right back! ”

NO.0 hurriedly put away the phone, and his expression became anxious.

"I'm sorry, I have to go."

Xiao Xin grabbed him.

"Is your team in trouble? I think we can help. ”

NO.0 looked at him with some hesitation.

"Even if you don't join our team, I want to make you a friend. My friend is in trouble, and of course I have to help. ”

Xiao Xin smiled and said sincerely.

NO.0 looked at him, and something flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you, my name is Chen Ling."

Xiao Xin smiled.

"You're welcome, it's nice to meet you, my name is Xiao Xin."

The red "Hyundai" sports car was speeding down the road, and Ah Ming looked at Li Hong who was driving in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be a rich woman, a beautiful manager?"

Li Hong glanced at Xiao Xin, who was sitting next to him without saying a word.

"What a rich woman, I earned it in the past two years as the host of the underground arena. I didn't mean to hide it from you, because you can't just tell people about working in the underground arena. ”

The second half of the sentence was said to Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin smiled at her, it was just a one-night stand, so why be so demanding?

Li Hong seemed to understand Xiao Xin's thoughts, her expression became gloomy, her silver teeth bit lightly, and her hand holding the steering wheel trembled a little. Xiao Xin looked at her bright eyes with tears in her eyes, and sighed silently. Two years ago, he no longer believes in the so-called relationship, and now he just wants to enjoy the joy of Warcraft and realize the E-SPORT dream that he and Amin share. For Li Hong, he didn't know what to do, so he could only go with the flow.

"So, Chen Ling, you should get more commissions?"

Ah Ming's question broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere in time, and Chen Ling nodded.

"Yes, I can get up to 5,000 for a game."

"Wow! That's not a week to make 10,000! Why don't you buy a car to have fun with such money? Get a BMW, that dazzle~~~ haha! ”

Qizai shouted loudly, as if he was the one with a weekly salary of 10,000.

"The money is used to maintain our team."

There was a hint of helplessness in Chen Ling's cold voice.

"If you don't get good grades, you won't have any funds, and you can only rely on yourself."

Amin nodded knowingly. In his two-year career, he has witnessed countless small teams that have not been able to attract sponsorship due to lack of achievements and fame, and have no operating funds, and finally have to be disbanded. They love Warcraft as much as any famous player, but the attention and respect they receive can't be compared, and in the end they have to leave silently. The gorgeous and gorgeous e-sports has attracted countless people to invest in passion and bet on their youth, however, how many people can really succeed? Who wants to believe that the esports we love can sometimes be so cruel?

Ah Ming looked out the car window, and the lights flying behind him turned into blurred light and shadow, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Perhaps, Chen Ling's team will not escape the fate of disbanding in the end, even if he does not hesitate to be a despised "shadow" in order to maintain the team. Why bother? Bury your talent in a team that has no future. Ah Ming shook his head, feeling sorry for Chen Ling.

Xiao Xin suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Ling very seriously.

"Your teammates are lucky."

"No, I'm luckier."

Chen Ling smiled, his smile full of warmth.

The car stopped in front of an Internet café.

"Brother Zero, this is your home base?"

Qizai pointed to the somewhat crumbling door of the Internet café and asked in disbelief. This kid is called brother to anyone he catches.

"Remember, don't tell them that I do shadow things."

Chen Ling nodded in reply to Qizai, and at the same time said to Xiao Xin and them very seriously.

For a professional team, such a base is indeed too shabby. But there was no trace of disgust on Chen Ling's face, and he took the lead in the Internet café with brisk steps as if he had returned to his home.

However, the atmosphere in the Internet café was not relaxed, surrounded by a group of onlookers, two teams of apparently opposite people stood in the court and glared angrily, looking at each other in a tense posture. The difference is that on the one hand, he is uniformly dressed in an ancient costume, with a hedgehog head, and is arrogant; On the other side, they are dressed ordinarily, their heads are ordinary, and even their looks are ordinary, it seems that they are Chen Ling's teammates.

A middle-aged man at the counter who seemed to be the boss saw Chen Ling, his face turned from worry to joy, and he walked over quickly.

"You're finally back."

Chen Ling looked into the crowd.

"Team Hao, they're the ones who came to play, right?"

The person known as Team Hao nodded, and said angrily:

"These guys, they're so arrogant. Hey? Who are these people? ”

As he spoke, he saw Xiao Xin and the others behind Chen Ling. Xiao Xin smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Xin, Chen Ling's friend."

"Xiao Xin?! That's right, you're TopOne! ”

The middle-aged man suddenly became very excited, as if a fan had met a star he admired.

"Do you recognize me?"

Xiao Xin was a little surprised, he disappeared for two years, how can it seem that everyone still remembers him?

"Of course I do, I watched the game between you and Free two years ago. At the time, I didn't like Warcraft, but after watching your game, I became a complete esports fan! Haha, I didn't expect to see you again, where have you been in the past two years, how are you doing? Oh, by the way, my name is Hao Jian, and I'm Chen Ling's team leader. ”

The middle-aged man patted Xiao Xin's shoulder happily, his voice was full of enthusiasm and sincerity, as if he was catching up with an old friend, Xiao Xin was moved.

At this time, the situation on the other side had changed, and a hedgehog head said loudly:

"What are you waiting for, don't you dare to fight us? A flock of rookies! ”

"Who says we wouldn't dare?"

Chen Ling walked to the side of the "ordinary" person and looked at the hedgehog head coldly. Several people were all happy when they saw Chen Ling, and their momentum was also sufficient. Then a fat man pointed to the hedgehog heads and said:

"Fight, fight, what's the comparison?"

The hedgehog head smiled darkly.

"It's simple, 5v5, draw lots to determine the order. The losing side was renamed the rookie team. ”

The crowd was in an uproar, what a shame it would be for a professional team to be called a rookie team! It's even more painful than disbanding a team.

"What? Don't dare to come? Rookies! ”

The hedgehog head laughed contemptuously.

"Come on! Also, don't call us noobs! ”

Chen Ling's cold voice was filled with murderous aura.

As a result of the draw, Chen Ling ranked first.

He sat expressionlessly in front of the computer, his opponent chewing gum, sitting across from him with a grin, looking like no one in his eyes, and giving him a defiant middle finger before the game. Chen Ling indifferently adjusted the equipment, and didn't even look at him.

Seven minutes later, Chen Lingsheng.

"The opponent is not weak, but Chen Ling is too strong. Now it's up to the rest of the people to perform. ”

Ah Ming analyzed the situation.

"Alas, if the next few guys are at the same level, then we will lose."

Hao Jian suddenly said pessimistically.

"Why?"

"Because, Chubby and a few of them are much worse than Chen Ling."

Chubby obviously refers to the fat man who spoke just now, and it happened to be him who came on the field at this time.

Eighteen minutes later, Chubby was defeated. And the defeat was miserable and humiliating.

Chubby is a Terran, the opponent is NE, the opponent could have ended the battle in ten minutes, but he didn't do it, he deliberately planted a tree next to Chubby's base, and even put a tree of life next to it after demolishing the main base of the Terran. This style of play is clearly to humiliate Chubby. But Chubby didn't admit defeat quickly, and didn't play GG until the last soldier fell.

"What level is this little fat in the team?"

"Second master."

"Scared!? Isn't that a loss? ”

Qizai looked at Hao Jian's helpless expression, and he couldn't speak at a glance.

"I think it's hard for them to be"

Xiao Xin wanted to speak and stopped.

"It's hard to be a master, right? They themselves know that being a professional is a tough thing, especially for ordinary people like them who don't have the talent. ”

"Then why do you insist on it?"

Hao Jian's eyes were suddenly full of brilliance.

"Do you have a dream?"

"Yes! Be a world champion! ”

"They have it too."

Hao Jian pointed to the emblem of the FF team in his hand.

In the middle of the sky-blue round team emblem is a line of words - ForFun.
