Chapter 12: I'm Sorry, I'm Back!
TopOne, this ID is almost forgotten by the world. Xiao Xin didn't expect that someone would call him like this today, and what Xiao Xin didn't expect was that this person who called him TopOne turned out to be - Lao Mao!
Lao Mao is very stingy, he is a company manager, but he is reluctant to buy a car, and he takes the bus to work every day.
Lao Mao is very old, he doesn't understand petty bourgeoisie, doesn't know clubbing, and doesn't understand E-SPORT, he only knows how to go to and from work honestly.
is such a person, he actually knows that Xiao Xin is the TopOne he used to be!
So when Lao Mao slowly walked in front of Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin still had a surprised expression on his face, as if he had seen a trilobite from the Cretaceous.
Lao Mao was also amused by Xiao Xin's expression, and he reached out to remove the cigarette from Xiao Xin's mouth.
"Is it comfortable on the ground? How long are you going to sit? Get up, and I'll show you something. β
After speaking, he dragged Xiao Xin to a bright place somewhere.
Xiao Xin didn't have any objections, so he followed Lao Mao. For some reason, he felt he could trust this man completely.
Lao Mao saw that Xiao Xin didn't speak, but he couldn't help it.
"Don't you have any questions for me?"
"Yes"
"You ask."
"Why do you know who I am? Where are you taking me? β
"You'll know when the time comes."
ββ
The place where Lao Mao took Xiao Xin is not mysterious at all: Lao Mao's home. What he showed Xiao Xin was nothing new at all, just a DVD.
"What is this?"
Xiao Xin looked at this very new DVD and was a little puzzled.
Lao Mao put the disc into the player.
Then Xiao Xin saw himself on the screen, the two previous selves.
Here's a clip from the game with Free. Xiao Xin on the screen looked calm, and his hands were like flying, as if everything was under control.
Is this who I used to be? I was so radiant and unbeatable, but now I am? Xiao Xin had a feeling of being in a different world.
The screen suddenly switched to the game between Xiao Xin and Zhu Jun: Xiao Xin was moving the mouse with difficulty, and his right hand had lost its usual flexibility, but he was still playing hard.
With the picture, Xiao Xin seems to have returned to the unbearable past. In the past two years, he tried his best not to remind himself of that game, that day, he lost, he lost everything, and the pain and loss were difficult for others to understand.
However, now when he saw the picture of himself trying to play, he suddenly understood: the game was lost, but he also tried his best, although he was bleeding, he still insisted on finishing the game, he did not insult e-sports! He has nothing to be sad about!
What have I been running away from in the past two years? Am I doing something wrong?
The scene cuts to 2006, WCG, Amin was interviewed after losing the quarterfinals:
"I'm not sad that my friend TopOne once finished the race with an injured hand and I've always looked up to him. So, as long as you give your best in every game, you have nothing to regret. β
"Do you think TopOne will ever come back?"
"He'll definitely be back, I know him!"
Xiao Xin's eyes were a little moist, he remembered the days when he practiced Warcraft with Ah Ming in the past, remembered the plan to form a team, and remembered the rhetoric of winning the World Championship, these were all dreams they once shared. And now, Amin is the only one left to support these dreams.
I was so selfish that I put everything aside just to escape. Now, it's time to wake up!
Xiao Xin raised his head, his eyes were no longer cloudy and confused.
Looking at Xiao Xin's suddenly cheerful expression, Lao Mao nodded with satisfaction.
"Have you finally figured it out?"
"Yes, hopefully it's not too late."
"It's not too late."
Xiao Xin looked at Lao Mao gratefully.
"You knew who I was in the first place, which is why you let me into your company?"
"Yes."
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Because, you have two very good friends."
Friend! Xiao Xin smiled, he took out his mobile phone, and was about to tell Ah Ming that he had figured it out!
"Who do you want to call!"
"My good friend, I'm going to tell him that I still want to fight Warcraft!"
"No need. Here he is. β
As soon as Lao Mao's words fell, Ah Ming had already appeared in front of Xiao Xin, with a look of joy and excitement.
"Damn! Lao Xin, you stinky boy, you have finally figured it out! β
Seeing Ah Ming, Xiao Xin understood: it turned out that Ah Ming secretly asked Lao Mao to take care of him. When he thought that the whole world had given up on him, there was still this friend who was silently helping him.
That's what a true friend is! No matter whether you are beautiful or down, he will support you unconditionally! With such a friend, no matter how big a failure or a big blow you get, you don't have to be afraid, let alone discouraged! How many such friends can there be in a person's life?
Xiao Xin smiled and met Ah Ming's warm hands.
"I'm sorry, friend, I'm back!"
The late autumn nights have taken on a chilly edge. A small stall selling late-night snacks sits alone on the side of the street. It was late at night, and the stall owner had long wanted to collect the stall and go home, but he couldn't leave because there were still three customers sitting here. The wind was very cold, and there was a kind of bone-chilling coldness blowing on the skin, but the three of them didn't seem to feel it at all, because they were in a good mood now, especially Xiao Xin.
Untying the knot in his heart, Xiao Xin felt that the whole person was extremely relaxed. Now he is full of fighting spirit, looking forward to returning to the Warcraft world and getting back what he has lost in the past two years!
"Lao Xin, I'll quit the team tomorrow, let's organize our own team! Haha, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! β
Amin drank and imagined the not-too-distant future.
"Good! We want to make this team the strongest Warcraft team in the world! β
Xiao Xin is also heroic.
"Haha, when the time comes, find a beautiful woman to be the manager. No! Find two, one for each of our brothers! β
"That's right! We have to recruit in person, and those who have never been Hong Kong sisters don't want to! β
Lao Mao looked at the two dreamers with a smile.
"How many people does a team require?"
"Five."
"How many of you are now?"
"Two."
"So, before recruiting beautiful managers, should you first find all the team members?"
ββ
"Also, how do I find a sponsor?"
ββ
Xiao Xin and Ah Ming looked at each other. They were so happy that they simply forgot to think about these practical issues.
Xiao Xin thought about it and threw the problem to Ah Ming.
"Ah Ming should be very familiar with this aspect, you have been a professional player for two years."
"Hehe, I'm sorry, usually I just train and compete, I don't understand these things at all."
Xiao Xin shook his head helplessly, he had expected this: with Ah Ming's character, he would not ask about such "trivial matters" as recruiting team members and sponsoring them.
"Well, the first thing to do is to find three more players. And in terms of sponsorship, hehe."
Xiao Xin smiled evilly and looked at Lao Mao. And Lao Mao has long been in good time.
"Stinky boy, don't squeeze your eyebrows with me. I'm just the manager of a small branch, and I don't have the capital to be our sponsor. β
The anticipation on Xiao Xin and Ah Ming's faces suddenly turned into disappointment.
"But I can be your manager and help you get sponsorship, but only if you get results."
Amin disagreed.
"Damn! As soon as the old and new signboards are revealed, the results will naturally not be bad. β
Xiao Xin suddenly became serious.
"Amin, how long has it been since I've played?"
"Two years."
"I haven't played in two years, do you think I still have the same level as before?"
"Even if it doesn't work now, it will recover slowly."
"I don't know how long it will take to get back to how I felt before, and besides, you have to understand that this team can't rely on me alone, the strongest team is a strong collective, not just one person!"
"I understand, don't worry, I'll get stronger!"
Lao Mao looked at Xiao Xin appreciatively.
"It's a genius, no wonder my son thinks so highly of you."
"Your son?"
"That's right! In fact, I already knew your identity before Armin came to me, because my son also asked me to take care of you, and asked me to find a way to persuade you to come back. β
"So you say I have two very good friends, besides Amin, and your son?"
"Yes!"
"Who is your son?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Hey hey"
Lao Mao smiled mysteriously. Apparently not going to tell them.
Xiao Xin was helpless.
"You made that DVD for me, too?"
Xiao Xin remembered those pictures that moved him, and the person who made this film obviously put a lot of effort into it.
"No, that's a special that Esports Times did in honor of you."
Amin smiled ambiguously.
"Moreover, it was made for you by Wang Xue, the master of the family!"
"Wang Xue?"
"By the way, you may not know it, it came out after you played Missing! Beautiful reporter yes! Moreover, others have always been your hardcore fans! β
"Really?"
He has been missing for so long, and there are still people who remember him, Xiao Xin couldn't help but be a little moved.
"She's not the only one who is worried about you, and the WCG champion this time, TO, is also looking for you."
βTO?β
"It is said that he is Free's apprentice, and he has always thought that Free's retirement was because of your relationship, saying that he wanted to seek revenge on you and defeat you on behalf of his master."
"Free's apprentice? That should be amazing? β
Xiao Xin remembered the thrill and excitement when he played against Free!
"That's right! Lao Xin, you have to be careful of this person, his undead can be said to be the strongest today, and he may run into him in the future. When the award was just presented, that guy was still asking me about your whereabouts. Depend on! How could I possibly tell him! I"
Before Ah Ming finished speaking, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and his eyes widened as he looked behind Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin turned his head and saw a tall and handsome foreign young man, dressed in an avant-garde driver's suit, with red hair and a smug look on his face.
"Haha, don't think I won't find it if you don't tell me!"
βTO!οΌ Depend on! You guy stalking me! β
Ah Ming pointed at TO, shocked and angry, speechless for a while.
TO ignored Ah Ming and looked down at Xiao Xin. The eyes suddenly became extremely sharp!
"You're TopOne?"
"I am."
"I'm Free's apprentice, my name is TO."
"I know."
"As a Free apprentice, I officially challenge you! If you lose, announce to the world: I was the master who won the game two years ago! β
