Chapter 139: Changing Concepts

"According to the plot, there should be a scholar to greet us at this time." Xiao Ding said.

"You're dreaming, let's go in first, Uncle Ling will definitely not come back yet." Wang Yafei said, he took out the door key from his bag.

"Brother Fei, you even have the key!" Xie Ping seemed to be very surprised.

"I'm a regular here." Wang Yafei suddenly felt proud.

Wang Yafei was quite familiar with everything in the room, but for the other two strangers, everything here seemed so special.

Xie Ping's first impression of Uncle Ling's house was that it was "surrounded by four walls", and old-fashioned furniture like this may have been eliminated in the 90s of the last century.

But Xiao Ding seemed to have come to a place of pilgrimage.

"Wow," Xiao Ding exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Be quiet, this house is poorly soundproofed, don't let people think that there are burglars in the house." Wang Yafei said.

"It's so homey for professional players." Xiao Ding said in a praising tone.

"Warm...... That's a bad situation. Xie Ping felt that this house had nothing to do with warmth.

"Brother Ping, you haven't experienced this artistic conception yet, you look at this computer, you look at this computer chair, and then you look at these other furniture, haven't you found something?" Xiao Ding asked Xie Ping.

"Discovery...... I didn't find anything. Xie Ping's face was blank.

"Isn't this huge contrast moving you?"

"I don't think so." Xie Ping didn't think his tears were high, but he really didn't know what was worth touching about.

"Hey, this is the home of the older generation of esports people...... You see, although Uncle Ling's furniture is very old, only this computer chair and computer are no worse than the ones that Shi Shen has in the bedroom. What does this mean, it shows that although Uncle Ling has been poor all his life, he has invested all his energy and money in the great industry of e-sports, and people like Uncle Ling ......" Xiao Ding said a lot of nonsense along the way.

These words can often be heard in "News Network", anyway, when the content of praising old cadres is broadcast, these adjectives can often be heard.

"Twitter, is there a thief in my house?" There was a sound of unlocking the door, followed by a greasy uncle who appeared at the door.

Although Uncle Ling is very decadent no matter how he looks at it, he is not as sloppy as he is at any time, at this moment he seems to have just returned from moving bricks from the construction site.

"Uncle Ling, where have you been?" Wang Yafei hurriedly walked over to help Uncle Ling take over his iconic broom.

"Go out to work, or where else can I go, maybe I still have the time to climb the mountains and visit the park?" As he spoke, Uncle Ling carefully examined the two strangers in front of him.

said to be a stranger, but in fact, he is not a stranger, Xie Ping, the little fat Uncle Ling, knows it, and Xiao Ding's face is also very recognizable.

"You two little guys, what are you doing here?" Uncle Ling asked straight to the point.

For these two uninvited guests, Uncle Ling didn't seem too repulsed as soon as he came up.

"I called them." Wang Yafei explained.

"Oh, is there something going on, or do you want to see how you practice?" Uncle Ling said to Wang Yafei.

"I ......" Wang Yafei didn't know how to answer.

"Uncle Ling, I'm here to ask for an autograph!" Xiao Ding seemed to be calling him his own uncle.

"Signature? Whose signature? Uncle Ling glanced out the window and said.

"Of course it's yours, the former world No. 1 support, the world's No. 1 captain." Xiao Ding's words were full of admiration.

"Well, I don't know who the world's number one support is, and there's no one you're looking for." Uncle Ling replied.

"Yes, I'm here for you." Xiao Ding said that there is still a big difference between "you" and "you" in polite language.

"Me, I'm just the world's No. 1 hang-up eye. Oh no, it's the first hang-up north of the Yangtze River. Uncle Ling said with a smile.

"Uncle Ling, you are too modest, no wonder the flying gods are also so humble, they must have learned from you."

"Do you mean Wang Yafei when you say Feishen, when did he understand modesty?" Uncle Ling said to Wang Yafei

"That's because you don't know, Feishen is a very humble person in ordinary life, let's take him learning from you for example, more than half a year has passed, but he has never told others. I wouldn't have been able to do that. Xiao Ding praised.

"Well, he handled this matter quite well, and he didn't go around talking nonsense." Uncle Ling nodded.

"So Feishen is a humble person, just like you."

"Why did you come to me again, even if he is modest, it doesn't mean that I am modest, I really don't know any world's number one assistant."

"You don't need to know because that person is you." Xiao Ding said.

Xie Ping felt that Xiao Ding's words were so philosophical.

"I'm not."

"You are, the former first assistant and first captain - Zhuge Feng."

"Hahaha." Uncle Ling seemed to have heard a very funny joke.

"Do you mean the collapse wind, then I'm sorry, but if you want to find any Zhuge wind, I think you should recognize the wrong person." Uncle Ling said after laughing.

"Don't hide the flaws, don't care where the trough is, we just look at what height you have reached!"

"Why are you so philosophical?" Xie Ping pondered.

"Height? That's what height is all about. ”

The current Dota Contest is very different from the past, and even the fourth place in the current contest may get some related souvenirs, such as a certificate or something.

But in the past, only champions had trophies and medals.

So in Uncle Ling's room, there were no "honorary certificates".

"I've heard a saying in the past, it's called that there are often champions, but there is only one Lingfeng." Xiao Ding said very seriously.

"You made this up...... By the way, what are you calling that......" Uncle Ling suddenly forgot Xiao Ding's name.

"My name is Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding's Xiao, Xiao Ding's Ding."

"Oh yes, you're a good name, no wonder you're so good at fooling people."

"I'm not blindsided, there is such a saying in the Dota circle."

"Aha, what does this sentence mean, normal people often have it, but there is only one mentally handicapped." Uncle Ling laughed again, but this laugh seemed to contain a lot of bitterness.

"Uncle Ling, how many Dota competitions will be held in a year now?" Xiao Ding suddenly asked this question.

"It's a bit difficult, now there are big and small competitions every month, you have to count those small online competitions, how can there be more than 20 a year." Uncle Ling replied.

"And what about you then?"

"At that time, we had more and sometimes fewer competitions, and some bits and pieces of Internet café-level competitions were not counted, but there were at least ten competitions throughout the year, why do you ask this?" Uncle Ling asked rhetorically.

"I'll just ask casually, so I can interrupt." Xiao Ding smiled and deliberately behaved very relaxed.

"Kid me, huh?" Uncle Ling heard Wang Yafei say that he knew that Xiao Ding was a big ghost, and he was especially good at playing tricks and tricking people.

"No, I want Uncle Ling to recall."

"Memories of what?"

"Remember the games you played."

"What do you do when you recall this, the final champion is not me."

"That's why you have to recall, Uncle Ling, can you remember who the champions were at that time?"

"There are so many games, how can I remember them all, if you want to say a few important games, I still have a little impression."

"So......"

"So what? What conclusions can be drawn from this? ”

"So the championship is just a passing moment, and in a few years no one will remember who won those games in the first place. But the real star players will be passed on to the world, even if it is a long time later, as long as you talk about China Dota, everyone can remember the name Ling Feng. Xiao Ding said.

Wang Yafei was very puzzled, he didn't understand why Xiao Ding seemed to be very familiar with Uncle Ling. It seems that he knows everything about Uncle Ling very well. And yesterday, Xiao Ding still didn't know anything.

"Oh, some names are legends, and some names are just jokes, and others are just adding to the joke." Uncle Ling said.

"When you zoom in, every person on this planet who has ever existed near me is just a joke. Napoleon was a joke, Kennedy was a joke. Any celebrity or great, there will be something about them that will be made fun of. ”

"You kid, compare me with these great men as a sweeper, and I don't even have the qualifications to lift shoes for them."

"That's right, it's just a sweeper, so how can it be qualified to be compared to them? But even if it is as strong as them, isn't it also the joke of ordinary people like us, Uncle Ling, you can casually say a few people who you think are very great, but I can tell you a joke about him in a few minutes. ”

Uncle Ling hesitated for a moment, firstly, he couldn't think of any great names in a short period of time, and secondly, he felt that what Xiao Ding said was not wrong, anyone has a peak, but anyone will also underestimate. Even if they are great people, they will definitely have times when they are very lonely. If their lonely moments make people laugh, it's true that everyone has some laughing points.

But that's just a change of concept.

"The great men of this world are great because they have achievements in different fields that no one else can match. Perhaps, they all ran around bare-bottomed as early children, but no one would laugh at them for that. Instead, I can only admire the brilliance they have created since then, but I am different, and I have nothing to praise in the Dota world, which I am most familiar with. Uncle Ling said.

"Uncle Ling, how much was the prize money in your competition at that time?" Xiao Ding did not continue to discuss this topic with Uncle Ling, but instead threw out new questions.

"Bonus...... Ranging from 50,000 to 150,000, it may be 10,000 or 20,000 at the earliest. It's certainly not the same as today, where there are millions of dollars in prize money, and there are even tournaments with tens of millions of dollars. This is the amount of prize money, we didn't even dare to think about it in our dreams at that time. ”
