"What's wrong?" While eating breakfast, Zhang Zinuo saw Xia Chiyu staring at him, and immediately smiled and asked, and then her face suddenly changed, narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully: "Do you still feel sorry for not being able to successfully attack at night last night?" If I go too far, I'll feel like I'm eating fish. ∈♀，.”

"No, I was just thinking that you were actually unexpectedly bold." Xia Chiyu held his chin and smiled, "Anyway, you also slept in the same bed with me for one night." Are you really not worried at all? ”

"Hmm...... How to say it. Zhang Zinuo said with a smile, "I'm a little worried, after all, it's the first time for people." But as far as I know about eating fish, I don't think I would do that kind of thing. ”

"Huh?" Xia Chiyu pursed his lips, took a bite of bread and said, "Then you underestimate a creature like a man too much." There are certain situations and certain things that men have to do. ”

Zhang Zinuo stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Chiyu's face and said unhappily: "Don't play hooligan with this kind of serious tone, you may still be very handsome when you change to other scenes." ”

Xia Chiyu just smiled, no matter what, Zhang Zinuo's plush bear pajamas are still quite cute, and you can see a fair and slender neck and a piece of tender skin under the soft broken hair.

"It would be nice if I could do this every day...... Xia Chiyu sighed secretly, he took out his mobile phone to check it, only to find that Migale had replied to him on the battle network, and he hurriedly waved his hand to Zhang Zinuo: "Reply, reply!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zinuo hurriedly came to Xia Chiyu's side, and the two of them checked Mi Jiale's reply together: "If you can, I hope to be able to talk in person, I know that you are now in Xitai City, and I happened to be around here recently, why don't you choose a place and we will come out to talk together, and there are some things I hope to show you in person......"

"What do you think?" Zhang Zinuo raised his eyebrows and asked. "I don't know why the other party keeps emphasizing face-to-face?"

"I don't think it's some kind of pyramid scheme...... Although MLM is still rampant in recent years. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly, he held his chin and thought about it, and replied: "In short, it's good to go and see each other." They may indeed have something to show me in person, as they said, and then it will be convenient for me to sue the three of them. What about you? Do you want to go together? ”

Zhang Zinuo smiled gently: "Well, of course we have to go together, didn't you say okay at the beginning?" ”

"Okay, then I'll reply." Xia Chiyu nodded and began to reply to Migale on the battle network, "Anyway." Let's meet at the café we often go to, and if it's time, it's best to ...... at noon or in the evening."

"Well, that's good." Zhang Zinuo nodded, and then pressed it on his phone, as if he was notifying someone. Seeing this, Xia Chiyu couldn't help but wonder: "Are you informing Qianxue?" She's coming along, too? ”

"Well, yes. There are some things I want to ask, and then I can help you with some comments by the way. Zhang Zinuo smiled sweetly.

"Good...... bar. Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "When you leave, remember to remind me to take the garbage down and throw it away." ”

"Hmm. Good. Zhang Zinuo said, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a wry smile: "That, eat fish." Don't tell Qianxue that you spent the night with me last night. Because...... You know......"

"Ah, I know. And others won't say it, otherwise wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of your girl's family? Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, Zhang Zinuo tilted his head and said innocently: "That's nothing." Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to take the man home. ”

"Okay......" Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, rubbing Lin Qianxue's brain, "I'm honored." ”

Xia Chiyu immediately went back to clean up. changed his clothes, and met with Lin Qianxue and Zhang Zinuo at noon in the café where they often eat together. Xia Chiyu arrived ten minutes early as usual, but as soon as he entered the door, a person waved at the table in the corner and smiled: "Mr. Xia, this way." ”

Xia Chiyu looked down, it was a handsome man with a flower wheel and glasses, in his early thirties, his face was very clean, there was no stubble, his hair was neatly combed, his skin was fair, he looked like a door-to-door insurance salesman, but this person's temperament was easy-going but not mediocre, he held his chin with both hands, and smiled "very tasteful".

"Is it possible, you are ......" Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a little surprise.

"Yes, I'm Migale, and in reality my name is Xu Shuo." The other party pushed his glasses and smiled, "I'm glad you can come today." So, let's talk about joining my esports company, shall we? ”

In fact, this person's image of Xia Chiyu is not bad. Because Xia Chiyu himself arrived ten minutes early, and Migale arrived earlier than him, it can be seen that this person has no arrogance and is very humble and easy-going.

"Well, I still have two friends who haven't arrived, can we talk about them when they come?" Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Because on the one hand, they want to help me refer to it, and on the other hand, they seem to want to talk to you about something." ”

"Is that so? Okay, so let's have a cup of coffee and a chat. Xu Shuo said, and asked with a smile, "So, what is Mr. Xia's job now?" Do you mainly rely on games? Make money from AO? ”

"Well, that's right." Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, "Mainly because I found that I didn't make as much money as I did in real life...... Back then, I wasted my studies for too long because of games, and there was no way to do it. ”

"Yes. But that's okay, after all, since esports was added to the 2020 Olympics, everyone has started to pay more attention to this 'competitive sport', and most people don't just think of competitive games as a game. Xu Shuo smiled and said, "So, how long have you been playing the game AO?" ”

Xia Chiyu recalled: "It's been more than two years, I started playing when I first opened the server, and after playing for more than two years, I found some ways to find out something, but after that, all kinds of things happened, and the director finally quit the game, and just returned a few months ago." ”

"Does it mean that there has been no contact between the eighty and ninetieth levels?" Xu Shuo held his chin and said, his expression was slightly surprised: "I can't see it at all...... I mean, on a gaming level alone. It's not like you haven't played a game in two years. All sides are quite skillful, including PVP battles and PVE ......"

“pve？” Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows, and Xu Shuo said with a smile: "Yes, do you think a ...... Although it is not a little-known, but the PVE guild that has never appeared on the first kill list frequently wins the first kill of the national server and the first kill of the world, will it not attract the attention of the AO community? Truth be told, your name seems to be getting more famous in the PVE world lately. ”

"Well, that's what I'm coming back for." Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly, "My friend called me to come back and help them clear the wasteland." ”

"Really? So you've been good at PVE before? But I don't seem to have heard of your name before, after all, I've been playing since the opening of the AO server......" Xu Shuo said with some surprise.

Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly: "In my time, I basically tossed and turned in small guilds, and the biggest problems I encountered were always the lack of people or internal conflicts within the guild. This is the first time to lead such a relatively professional team. I gotta say. There is no need to worry about the uneven group or the sub-equipment will guide who is unhappy, PVE is really much easier. ”

"Well, that's right." Xu Shuo smiled, and put his hands together to support his chin, "PVE is just so skillful, the average level of team members is uneven, the key is to look at the quality of the conductor." Therefore, the progress of your guild can very well reflect the strength of the 'command'. I've heard that there are a lot of guilds that want to hire you as a conductor right now? ”

"I think so, but I don't really like it...... farm。 It's very boring to repeat the boss that has already been beaten. Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, "And it's not that I'm not modest, in fact, the current excellent progress does not only depend on my command, but the personal strength of several team members is also the key to being able to pass the boss." And. If it weren't for that title turmoil......"

"I've heard a little about it, and I've heard that several big guilds have been banned because of that bug." Xu Shuo said with a smile, at this time he raised his eyebrows, turned his gaze to the door of the café and sighed, "Oops? What a pretty girl. Or are they two together...... Someone who knows them must be lucky, right? ”

Xia Chiyu glanced back and found that it was indeed Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue, so he raised his hand and said, "Hey." Zinuo, Qianxue, this way! ”

"Eat fish!" When the two saw Xia Chiyu, they immediately smiled, making the café light up.

"Huh? Was it your friend? Is one of them a girlfriend? Xu Shuo asked with a smile.

"Not yet." Xia Chiyu replied with a wry smile, and Xu Shuo said, "Hey? That means it's possible later? It's so nice to have such a beautiful girlfriend. But my wife is also beautiful. ”

Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue came to the table, looked at Xu Shuo, and asked in surprise, "He...... Was he the fat man that day? ”

"Yes, I'm Migale." Xu Shuo stood up and smiled, shaking hands with the two of them.

"Obviously looks handsome, why did you design the game character to look like that?" Lin Qianxue asked puzzled.

"Because I'm more curious, when women say that men judge people by their appearance, do they also judge people by their appearance?" Xu Shuo replied with a smile, "But thanks to this character's appearance, I found my current wife, so I ......"

As he spoke, Xu Shuo motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then said with a smile: "I heard that you two also have something to talk to me about?" ”

"yes, but we want to hear from you about your company before we make a decision." Zhang Zinuo pursed his lips and smiled, then picked up the menu and ordered two cups of coffee, then nodded to Xu Shuo, "Please speak." ”

"Hmm." Xu Shuo smiled and said, "Well, that's the case." First of all, let me tell you a little bit about my esports company. ”

As he spoke, Xu Shuo grabbed the iPad, handed it to the two, and began to let them watch the demo video: "Our Speed Esports company was established about two years ago, a few months after the end of the second AO World Fighting Championship. ”

Xu Shuo pointed at himself with a smile: "The founder is me, the martial artist in the champion team of the second fighting competition." ”

"Well, I haven't heard of it. But it feels like it's amazing. Lin Qianxue said with a smile, "Can you tell us about the current scale of your company and the awards it has won?" ”

"Of course," Xu Shuo said, taking out some certificates from his bag, "At present, our company has a total of six branches around the world, located all over the world. The main purpose is to facilitate the training of local clan players. Our team ranges from some of the hottest motion games of our time, to the 3D fighting game Street Fighter X of the past, to the competitive game Dota 3, and more. ”

"As for the results so far, we have won a total of eight world championships since the establishment of the company, including 12 national championships, 17 national runners-up, and so on. I think you just need to search for these on the Internet, in fact, our company is quite famous, and I don't need to introduce it. Xu Shuo said with a smile.

Forthwith. He put some of the awards on display: "Just to prevent you guys from thinking I'm bragging, I'm bringing the World Championship award anyway. Here are the four championships of 2017, and here are the ......"

Xu Shuo explained one by one, and finally put his hands together and smiled: "So, that's it for the award." ”

"Then you guys don't have an AO team?" Lin Qianxue immediately asked.

"No, actually, but this team is made up of four Belgians. And you know, AO is the leader in somatosensory games in this era. It's actually one of the biggest prizes of our time, and as you know, the combat system of the game will continue to be the one after that. ”

"I also heard some news about the 2020 Olympics. There will also be projects that focus on somatosensory games. This means that the people in the current AO team are likely to transition to the Olympics in the future. So, the question arises, I'm the one who formed this company. It's a Chinese, so ......," Xu Shuo said, smiling bitterly.

Zhang Zinuo suddenly said: "Oh! I get it. So you want to form a team of Chinese people. Because if you win a prize at the Olympics in the future, the government will provide additional subsidies and bonuses, right? ”

"Yes, that's it." Xu Shuo smiled and said, "A win-win situation, isn't it?" Not only has he won glory for the country, but he has also won more sponsorships and bonuses, and the players are also honored and bonus, isn't it good? ”

"So that's the case, I can understand such an explanation, it's just ......" Xia Chiyu said, hesitating, "Do you think the four of us can really win the championship?" There are a lot of powerful players in AO right now. ”

Xu Shuo didn't rush to answer, he held his chin and smiled, and then asked, "Oh? Don't you think you're going to win the championship? Why? ”

"Look, aren't there a lot of great players? The group of people at the top of the honor list ......," Xia Chiyu replied.

Xu Shuo interrupted him before he could say anything: "The honor list is not a reference. First, there are artifacts and holy weapons in AO, and at the same time, the balance system is not absolutely fair, you understand this, right? ”

Xia Chiyu nodded, although the arena has a balance system, there is still a gap in the number of skills between the two sides, and the special effects of the artifact and the holy weapon are also in existence, so it is actually not 100% fair. After all, the game is designed to give players a sense of superiority, so it is impossible to be 100% fair.

But the AO game is different, in the official game, each player is given a seventy-level role, that is, the player's high-level skills are limited, and then the player is given some exactly the same "arena outfit", the main and secondary attributes and the equipment armor and resistance of the same armor are exactly the same, that is to say, the gap between equipment and level is completely eliminated.

"So, that's why the so-called 'Four Kings, Eight Princes and Twenty-two Generals', despite being very good in the game, always fail to make it to the World Series in the end. On the one hand, they are affected by the game environment, and on the other hand, because they are not professional e-sports members, they don't have that consciousness, which leads to not many players like you in China. Xu Shuo smiled.

"But, even if that's the case, there are a lot of players who play better than us, right?" Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "Look, I don't mean to say that I don't want to go, I'm mainly afraid that if we go, you will find out that we don't meet the conditions." ”

"Don't worry," Xu Shuo's expression became stern, "I didn't pick you casually. As I said, I'm not trying to pick a World Champion to join my team, I'm going to pick a team that 'could be a World Champion'. It is our responsibility as an esports company to make you a team that can become world champions. ”

"Hmm......" Xia Chiyu frowned, still not sure, "Then let me ask you, what do you like about us." ”

"To put it bluntly," Xu Shuo's expression became kind again, "What are the PVPs in AO?" Exceptional reflexes and IQ? No. The impact of those things is minimal, what really matters? Rich experience, perfect skill set, and professional skills. So, rich experience can be accumulated, professional skills can be taught, but a perfect set of skills for yourself? Others can't help and can only rely on themselves. It's something I can't do as a coach. ”

"Oh!" Lin Qianxue suddenly said, "You just took a fancy to the skill setting of the four of them, right!?" ”

"Not bad." Xu Shuo smiled kindly, "To be honest, as the coach of an e-sports company, I am qualified to ask the game company for some rights to view confidential information, including the player's skill settings. After that, I took a look at the skill settings of a few of you individually, and they were very well designed. After fighting with you and observing you, I have also found that although you are not so proficient in using them now, you are indeed able to bring out the best play style for your characteristics. ”

"Hmm......" Xia Chiyu didn't know what to say to express his current mood.

"At the same time!" Xu Shuo added. His eyes became intimidating, "Did you know that in the official competition of AO, you can't help domain skills?" ”

"What!?" Xia Chiyu asked in surprise, "Can't help domain skills!?" Wouldn't that be a bit of a fair-breaking? ”

"No, it won't. Because domain skills also fit the formula of 'skill composite value'. Xu Shuo grinned, "Because you need to take into account the opening conditions of domain skills." The so-called domain skills, to put it bluntly, are actually the result of the addition points and equipment selection that can best give full play to their own characteristics. Of course, not everyone who participates in the competition will be able to open up domain skills. ”

"Our mission. On the one hand, it helps you accumulate experience and hone your skills, and at the same time, it also helps you open up your domain skills. Xu Shuo explained, shrugging his shoulders. So, the reason why I invited you and the characteristics I like about you have been explained. ”

"Well, then I want to ask, what are you ...... in terms of profitability" Zhang Zinuo asked with some hesitation, "If it's convenient, can you talk a little bit about it?" Because this is more important to the players. ”

Xu Shuo glanced at the two of them with a smile and said, "The young man is so happy, there are two such beautiful girls to help him inside, presumably he must feel very motivated when he is outside, right?" ”

Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue's faces immediately turned red, and Xu Shuo continued: "That's the case, so far, we have sponsorship from the famous e-sports brand Slayer, and some other sponsors or something......

Saying that, Xu Shuo groaned: "Anyway, the average annual income of our team's professional e-sports players is 680,000, and the prize money and dividends of the competition are about 800,000. Plus if there is a subsidy for the National Olympics in the future...... After you get a few good results from normal competitions or some world competitions, you should be able to break a million. ”

"Breaking a million ......" Xia Chiyu was suddenly a little moved, this income is definitely a high income even in first-tier cities! Although the career of an esports player is short, it is enough for him to earn enough money.

"So, I want to ask, do you have a branch in Xitai City?" Lin Qianxue asked.

Xu Shuo smiled and was silent for a while, then pushed the frame and said, "Unfortunately, there is no branch in Xitai City. If you want to join our company, I think you may have to go to the branch in Nanhua City to participate in daily training or something......"

"Nanhua City ......" Xia Chiyu suddenly frowned, this city is still very far away from their side, and it will take four or five hours to fly over, if he goes there to participate in training, then there is definitely no need to consider the long-distance relationship with Zinuo......

Choosing between a good job and a good girl, this made Xia Chiyu's eggs almost broken.

"So, I want to ask...... Zhang Zinuo suddenly asked at this time, "You open a separate branch, this branch is responsible for assisting the domestic team of AO, how many assets do you need to invest?"
