September 2012, Changsha Hunan University of Engineering, Donghai Internet Cafe.

A young man about 20 years old was sitting in front of the computer, stupid and in a daze.

During this time, basically all of his time was spent in this Internet café.

His name is Wang Xiu, and he is a freshman at Hunan University of Engineering. He just came here, but because of a game, he frequently skipped class. In Wang Xiu's own words, he is most seeking his e-sports dream.

In 2012, he was admitted to Hunan University of Engineering, and before he took two days of classes, he devoted all his time directly to the Internet café. It's not because he's obsessed with the joy of gaming, it's because of his dream of esports.

One of the games that Wang Xiu plays is a game that is gradually falling out of the field of vision of e-sports people. Due to the rise of DOTA and League of Legends in the past two years, the original Warcraft RPG series of Dynasty Warriors 3. The 9D version gradually declined, and many well-known True Three teams began to choose to evacuate. And the existing teams in this game are just small teams formed by players themselves without backup.

Even so, Wang Xiu takes every game very seriously. This time, it was because of a Longxiang Cup organized by Long Xiang, the largest guild of the True Three, and the total prize money was only 30,000 yuan, but this ranking and glory were things that Wang Xiu cared about very much! For these reasons, Wang Xiu even put down his studies and struggled for three days in the Internet café.

"Won the championship...... I really won the championship...... After so many years of hard work, it has finally been realized today! ”

Wang Xiu looked at the computer, looking at the results that had just been announced. Wang Xiu was smoking, although there was joy on his face, but what was even more important was the feeling of loneliness.

For a person who has been exposed to games since junior high school, Wang Xiu is definitely a persistent and hardworking person.

From the earliest CS Interstellar to the later CF Shinzo, he used his best efforts. Bit by bit accumulation, day and night hard work, this is what we have now amazing results.

You must know that even when he was facing the entrance examination in his third year of high school, he never gave up his favorite e-sports game!

In the headphones, there are also happy screams of several teammates from time to time, everyone is praising each other's wonderful scenes, and they are all happy for winning the championship at this moment!

At this moment, Wang Xiu seemed a little annoyed, during this time, he thought a lot, in the past few years, his parents have been very sad about his affairs. The reason why I was able to come to this second school is all because of my parents' efforts and relationships, and if I continue to play e-sports, a career with no future, is it really worthy of my parents?

"Hey!" Sighing, Wang Xiu lit another cigarette, at this time, Wang Xiu seemed very hesitant and hesitant, everything today can be said to have really made him reach the pinnacle of the real three professional world, but what is the point of all this? The bonus of 30,000 yuan, after a whole half a year of struggle, five people divided, each of them is less than 6,000 yuan, is this really promising?

Ruthless, Wang Xiu still decided to say his thoughts, pressed F2 and slowly spoke: "Friends, xiexie, you have been with me for so many years, I am very happy to stand here, win the championship of this Longxiang Cup with you, and stand at the peak of the True Three Realms!" But there is one piece of news that I have to tell you. ”

"I'm ready to retire!!"

Wang Xiu retired? This news is like thunder for the Zhanmen team.

The Zhanmen team was established for two years, and Wang Xiu was one of the first members to enter the team. In the past two years, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, Wang Xiu will participate in the internal training of the team on time.

Although the team has no salary, no sponsorship, and no money, the members of the team have a heart to win the championship! Everyone happily spent many ups and downs together, and finally won the championship today!

But at this happy time, Wang Xiu announced that he was going to retire! In the team, the strongest single is about to retire! How can this news be accepted by the team that has just won the championship!

There was silence in the voice channel for a long time, and everyone didn't know what to say, but Zuihou was still the captain of the Zhanmen team, Xiao Fei, who took the lead and asked, "Weishenme?" Are you weishenme leaving? Our battle gate has just won the championship, and now the battle gate has just started, and the battle gate needs you! We need you! ”

On the side of the headphones, hearing Zhanmen Xiaofei's words, Wang Xiu felt uncomfortable for a while, and felt very uncomfortable, but this matter was already imperative!

I breathed a sigh of relief, and there was always an indescribable depression in my heart, "I don't want to play anymore, really!" I've had a great time for the past two years, but now, I'm really leaving. ”

After the voice said, it was already a little sluggish.

Zhanmen Xiaofei was dumbfounded, and the rest of the Zhanmen team was also dumbfounded. Could it be that Xiu, who is known as the king of the Chinese law, is really going to retire? Isn't the Battle Gate team just beginning to reach glory? It took two whole years and countless years of hard work together, just when everyone's passion and ideals just came true, did you choose to leave?

"Don't joke, okay, this joke isn't funny at all!" The wandering of the Battle Gate Team said with a dry smile. But his voice was already very unnatural.

"Don't go, okay? Anything can be discussed. Although we won the championship this time, we still have a long way to go! After the three, there is more glory waiting for us! Don't give up at this time, okay! Repair! ”

Xiao Fei continued to persuade that the relationship between him and Wang Xiu was no longer just a virtual netizen. Although they haven't really met each other during these years, their friendship has been established in the past two years.

Wang Xiu still shook his head, because he had already decided! It's a complete decision! It took two years of hard work to successfully win the championship of Zhensan, and he is now content, really content!

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I'm in college now, and my parents have done so much for me for this college! I don't want to let them down with me anymore. This time, I have fulfilled my original dream, xiexie you, if it weren't for you, I would never have achieved this dream. But now, I'm really leaving. Whether it's for my parents or for myself, I have to choose to leave. Brothers, the clan has just reached the top, and there are still many things to do in the future, and everything in the battle gate depends on you! I'm sorry! zaijian!”

hung up the voice directly, and Wang Xiu's whole person collapsed on the sofa. A crystal tear flowed out of the corner of his eye, this tear is a sad tear shed for the end of the e-sports dream, it remembers the most glorious two years of Wang Xiu's e-sports era!

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Wang Xiu dragged his already exhausted body back to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and fell asleep deeply. Everything was completely left behind by him......

The next day, wake up. Wang Xiu opened his eyes in a daze, feeling that his head was still a little dizzy, probably because he had been wandering in the Internet café for the past few days.

After washing, he found that his classmates in the dormitory were watching him. Wang Xiu was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"What's wrong? Is there anything on my face? ”

Wang Xiu wiped his face vigorously, he thought there was something strange on his face! Because the expressions of several roommates are really weird now......

"Are you going to class?"

The person who asked was the head of the dormitory, and there were four students in the dormitory. The head of the dormitory is elected by themselves.

And in the dormitory, only the head of the dormitory and Wang Xiu are in charge of the class, and the other two are from the Department of Civil Engineering. So the head of the dormitory has a good relationship with him.

Wang Xiu nodded of course, relieved, and said in his heart that there was nothing on his face. After getting dressed, he smiled at a few roommates and said, "Let's go, my dorm chief." I'm going to mess with you from today onwards. ”

The head of the dormitory is called Liao Xiong, who is 1.65 meters tall, and loves the beautiful kind very much, but he is definitely a gentleman. Although the contact with Wang Xiu was only a few days, the relationship between the two was already quite good. And the most important thing is that he and Wang Xiu are both in charge of the class.

Roommate Deng Chao, Department of Civil Engineering, is also a freshman, and he usually likes to make some incomprehensible jokes, and he is a living treasure in the dormitory.

Roommate Zhai Qihan, who is also from the Department of Civil Engineering, is in the same class as Deng Chao, and is usually a little taciturn, but he seems to play the competitive game called League of Legends, and he plays it very well. Of course, it's just heard......

Liao Xiong can actually be regarded as an e-sports enthusiast, but the time he spends playing games is all in his spare time. And it's still playing League of Legends, which Wang Xiu doesn't understand at all, commonly known as LOL. Wang Xiu has also seen this competitive game, and Wang Xiu really doesn't think it's interesting for this kind of e-sports game that can't make up the knife. But it's such a boring game, basically more than 50% of the people in the Internet café are playing! This is also the key reason why Wang Xiu realized the end of the real three.

"Don't you still have to fight? I remember you said you wanted me to take five days off for you! Don't worry, teacher, I've got you covered! ”

Liao Xiong smiled, in the past few days, he has been helping Wang Xiu cover all the time, and he doesn't know where he got the sick note from the infirmary. Anyway, the teachers in the management class have not suspected Wang Xiu so far.

"It's over, I'm the champion!!"

After saying this, Wang Xiu's whole person suddenly looked a little decadent. At this moment, he remembered yesterday's scene again. This feeling is like a puff of smoke rings, gently spreading around the bedroom.

"Won the championship!?"

Several roommates were stunned for a moment, although they had only been in contact with Wang Xiu for a few days, they already knew Wang Xiu's character. In the matter of winning the championship, Wang Xiu will never lie, because this is his pride! Since he said so, this matter is absolutely true!

At this time, Liao Xiong's face was exaggerated, and he said excitedly: "I'll rub!" Brother, you're so awesome! actually won that championship, how much did the prize money go? Thirty thousand? ”

Looking at Liao Xiong's excited appearance, Wang Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I have already quit the real three professional circle, and I didn't ask for the bonus!" ”

"What?"

At this time, several people in the dormitory were dumbfounded. Just quit the professional circle after winning the championship?? And I didn't even ask for a bonus of 30,000 yuan, what is the situation?

Although several people were full of doubts in their hearts, they didn't choose to ask when they saw Wang Xiu's decadent appearance.

"So will you still play games in the future?" Deng Chao asked.

"Still playing games?"

Wang Xiu nodded and did not speak. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, spit out a large smoke ring, and walked slowly out of the bedroom.

Several roommates looked at each other and followed out of the dormitory

"Are you really going to give up? Is this the end of my e-sports dream? ”

Wang Xiu asked himself more than once......
