Chapter 4 Chinese-style e-sports

Sitting in the car back to the club, Wei Yi and Qing Ran were already leaning back with laughter. Dongcao had just been used as a gun by the two of them from Wei's mouth, and he also had a helpless expression on his face, so he had to sigh that he was really careless in making friends, and he met these two demons when they met for the first time, but he didn't find that he had a very close feeling towards Wei Yi for some reason, as if he was a friend who had known him for a long time, so he had no disgust in his heart.

For the man who pretended to be B angry when he took out the winter grass, Wei Yi didn't feel guilty at all, but was a little proud. In their previous lives, brothers have been playing tricks on each other for I don't know how many years, and this little ninety-nine is just a drizzle.

The three of them chatted as they drove towards FE's address. Dongcao sat in the front seat and introduced some of the customs of Shanghai to the two of them from time to time, as well as some of the current situation of the club.

For these, although Wei Yi has almost forgotten about them, he is not unfamiliar. However, judging from the experience of his own life, he should have never known all this, so he could only show that he was being instructed.

Qing Dye on the side looked at Wei Yi, who had been in mood swings since the winter grass appeared. She didn't know what kind of bond there was between this person and Wei Yi, but she could faintly feel Wei Yi's feelings for him. Qing Ran didn't care about anything else, knowing that this was enough for her to treat Dongcao as a friend.

The three of them chatted and found that there was no strangeness at all when they met for the first time, and the atmosphere in the car was always lively.

It didn't take long for the taxi to reach its destination. FE's address is very close to the headquarters of WE, and it is near the university town. Probably because the atmosphere of this generation is better, and the players themselves are all people of this age.

The three of them got out of the car near a bustling student street, and Dongcao led Wei Yi and Qing Ran along the side of the street.

Looking at the colorful shops around him and the energetic students who came and went, Wei Yi seemed to feel like he had returned to the old days, the small shops here, the night market at night, and the barbecue were all very familiar to him, but he thought that he would never see the scene again.

Everything around seemed to reappear yesterday, which made Wei Yi's mood a little complicated.

Qing Ran on the side was holding Wei Yi's arm, lowering his head and not speaking. Wei Yi noticed that something was wrong with Qing Ran, and was about to ask, but suddenly found that the boys passing by around him kept looking here.

While sighing that Qingzhan has such a high return rate now, he is a little worried about her.

Aozen has been introverted since he was a child, and he has been attending a private school since junior high school. I don't like things like shopping and socializing. This kind of thing of walking on the street and being looked at like a scenery is difficult for her to adapt to.

In fact, this is not entirely to blame Qingran, Dongcao and Wei Yi are also outstanding, and it is not surprising that the three of them walk together, and the return rate is so high.

Fortunately, they didn't go far, and the three of them arrived at their destination, a Sichuan restaurant.

After the three of them sat down, Dongcao was busy pouring tea for the three of them, and said, "It's your first time in Shanghai!" This is a reception feast. Haha, it's a bit rudimentary. But we come to this shop a lot, and it tastes pretty good, so you can try it. By the way, you are from Jiangcheng, you should eat spicy, right? ”

"I'm fine, Qingye doesn't eat much spicy." Wei Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, there are a lot of non-spicy leaves here." Fuyucao still had a warm expression on her face.

Qing Ran said a little embarrassed: "Don't be so troublesome, you came to pick us up in person today, and invited us to dinner, we are all embarrassed." After speaking, he didn't forget to give Wei Yi a look, signaling that he had to express his gratitude verbally, after all, people were so enthusiastic about them.

Wei Yi looked at Qing Ran's eyes, winked at her with understanding, said that he would not let her down, and then said sincerely: "What is polite to him!" If you don't slaughter the fellows, who will you slaughter! Boss, a la carte! The most expensive one is the same as Lao Tzu. ”

Winter grass, green dyeing: ""――

The meal was in full swing, and under Wei Yi's self-righteous attitude, the dishes on the table were quickly wiped out.

And Dongcao on the side looked at Wei Yi, who was like a storm, and thought that the two of them had been hungry for several days without eating in order to come to Shanghai to work professionally, and suddenly showed a moved expression on their faces. Look, this is the true spirit of esports! Dongcao still sighed in his heart.

Qing Ran, who was watching this scene, didn't know what Dongcao thought, and didn't know how to explain it, so he could only eat with some resignation. In fact, Wei Yi was mainly facing the long-lost taste in his memory, and he was just a little excited, and after meeting Dongcao, the whole person relaxed a little.

This feeling is difficult for ordinary people to experience, just like a person who has been trapped on a desert island for a long time and is about to die of despair is suddenly rescued, and when he sees a familiar friend, he thinks he will never be able to eat a familiar meal again.

Wei Yi took a big gulp of the dishes, and sighed that the dishes here were indeed very good. It greatly retains the traditional taste of Shanghai cuisine, but does not lose the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine. It's a good sheep's head and a good dog meat. But the taste is not dark, and even the green dye, which has never been much of a food, has eaten quite a lot.

Dongcao watched the two of them eat happily, and said with a relieved expression: "Qingran, what are you going to do in Shanghai?" ”

After listening to Dongcao's words, Wei Yi put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and said, "I didn't tell you about this first, in fact, I didn't know that this girl would come with me." Hey, now it's up to you to figure it out. ”

Dongcao seemed to be familiar with Wei Yi's unpolite attitude at all, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's your luck, the original leader of FE has left, and now he is still recruiting!" You can try it, but the work of the team leader is still very tiring and tedious, so I don't know if you can adapt to it. ”

Qing Ran didn't expect that his arrangement had already been settled, and he was about to say something to express his gratitude. Wei Yi on the side waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry! You can definitely apply for it, including food and accommodation, no salary, such free labor, don't you want it? ”

Wei Yi's words caught Dongcao unexpectedly, and he opened his mouth wide and stood on the spot, what is it? So casually sent the green dye? This girl was given by you with some volume! Dongcao said in his heart.

Looking at Qing Ran, who also had a helpless expression on the side, Dongcao said with some sadness: "Girl, do you have any handle in his hands, don't worry, as long as you say it!" Justice will do justice for you. ”

Wei Yi, who was drinking egg soup, almost didn't squirt out, and looked at Dongcao with angry eyes.

And watching Wei Yi eat deflated, Qingran and Dongcao were too happy. Wei Yineng, who had a sad face, sighed silently in his heart, Dongcao, you have changed.

After the three of them finished eating, Dongcao took the two of them to a residential area outside the school. Due to its proximity to schools, this area is not one of the most prosperous areas in Shanghai, but it is one of the cheapest places to rent.

Entering from the entrance of the community, there are all five or six storey old houses of some years. Wei Yi and Qing Ran walked into one of the buildings under the leadership of Dongcao.

Ascending the staircase with mottled walls to the third floor, the trio stopped at the door of the room. After Dongcao knocked on the door a few times, a middle-aged man who was a little chubby opened the door.

The visitor greeted Dongcao cordially, and then Dongcao introduced Wei Yi to him. The middle-aged man heard that the young man in front of him was the first national costume who is very popular on the Internet now, and he shook hands with him very warmly and said: "Young man, you have become famous on the Internet recently!" ”

Wei Yi scratched a little embarrassedly and said, "Haha, I'm just playing around." After all, it's far from the professional circle. ”

The middle-aged man in front of him, Wei Yi knew at that time. This person's surname is Qian, and he is one of the founders of the WE Club, and he is notoriously stingy, so he is nicknamed Elder Qian. But Wei Yi knows that we can come to the present glory in such a difficult environment at the beginning of its establishment, he can be said to be one of the biggest contributors, every time the club is about to pay the rent due to lack of funds, he nods outside and bows his head, and pulls sponsorship for their group of children in the wind and rain.

Therefore, everyone jokingly calls him Elder Qian, but the meaning of respect is more. After the establishment of the FE branch, he was basically in charge of the work here. In his previous life, Wei Yi and he were quite familiar with him, but in this life, he could only show the look of meeting for the first time.

Elder Qian looked at Wei Yi with a modest and indifferent look, and was very satisfied in his heart, and suddenly looked at this young man again. For an old e-sports fritter like him, who often takes over the cultivation of newcomers, the first national service is a fart. Since the launch of the League of Legends service, the players who have reached the first place in the national server are like carp crossing the river, and they can't be counted at all. But most of these players are young, arrogant, and can't wait for their eyes to grow on the top of their heads, so they don't obey at all and have a loose style. For this kind of newcomer, Elder Qian was actually the most bored. If it weren't for Dong Cao's introduction, Elder Qian might not have given Wei Yi a good look.

For the changes in Elder Qian's heart, Wei Yi also saw it all. He and Lao Qian are old acquaintances, and how can I not think that his biggest headache is how to abrasive the arrogance of newcomers. So Wei Yi showed a very well-behaved attitude at the beginning.

"Good mentality, young man! My old money has never missed anyone in my life, and your kid will become a great weapon in the future! Elder Qian looked at Wei Yi's well-behaved attitude, and the appreciation in his eyes was already overflowing.

Listening to Elder Qian's words, Wei Yi almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. Once upon a time, there was a very good newcomer who was also praised by him, and later, the guy who was praised by him played from the starting list to the bench support.

"Don't talk at the door! Let's go in and say. Dongcao on the side hurriedly said: "By the way, this is Wei Yi's sister, Qing Ran, she is here to apply for the team leader." ”

"Uncle Qian, hello." Qing Ran said with a well-behaved face.

Elder Qian turned his head to look at Qing Ran, who had been standing in the corner at first, with a look of surprise and admiration in his eyes, after all, such a beautiful girl was still rare. However, he was only surprised at first, and then turned back to normal and said, "Qingzhan huh, right?" The little girl is so beautiful! It seems that your family's genes are very good! Elder Qian teased with a smile. However, the conversation changed and said: "If you want to apply for a team leader, I don't know if you have any experience in related fields?" ”

"Nope! But I'm a fast learner! Qing Ran said with a sincere face.

"I said, Elder Qian, don't keep letting people stand at the door! This is not like your style," Dongcao said with an anxious expression.

"Oh!" Elder Qian realized that the conversation just now seemed to be too energetic, and he hurriedly led the three of them into the room with an apologetic face.

The interior of the room is very simple and it is a duplex. The lobby on the first floor occupies a third of the room and houses ten desktop computers. From the hall, you can go directly to the balcony, and there are a lot of flowers and plants planted on the balcony, which are very densely raised, where is the place where the team members who are usually addicted to smoking smoke.

On the first floor, out of the training room, there are two bedrooms. There are five people in one room, plus Wei Yi who is here now, there are a total of nine people in the team.

On the second floor is the dining room and Lao Qian's residence, as well as the room of another leader girl, who also lived with the two before the previous leader resigned. However, the room size on the second floor is much smaller than that on the first floor.

From an outsider's point of view, the environment here can be described as extremely difficult. In a room of less than 150 square meters, there are 12 people crowded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a snail dwelling.

But Wei Yi didn't think so, maybe because he also came over like this, but he felt kind of cordial when he looked at all this. Maybe they live in a difficult environment, but everyone is an optimistic teenager, the young mentality has not been too much capital to care, now there is a good platform in China for them to get out of the Internet café, out of the room, there is a chance to do what they like to do, but also have a certain economic income in the eyes of these children, what is not satisfied.

Some people say that China's e-sports scene is full of materialism, and it is a small game that amuses the rich when they are bored, and it cannot be compared with the professional professional circle in South Korea. However, China's e-sports circle has made those children who have not had the opportunity to get a good education since childhood, those children who only know how to play games day after day and lose themselves, see something different, that thing is called e-sports dreams. Standing on the highest stage in the world, representing the motherland, and representing the hard work of thousands of fans, that is the blood of youth, and that is the ultimate goal they are pursuing.

Perhaps the development of the e-sports circle is destined to be mixed, but all the teenagers who have been ignited and moved by their dreams will be grateful to e-sports for giving them a chance to be recognized by the society, including Wei Yi himself back then.
