In a classroom on the first floor of the School of Computer Science at HKUST.

Crow ~ Sparrow ~ No ~ Sound ~

Everyone looked at the people on the podium like crazy people, even the e-sports teenagers who had a fire in their hearts looked at Lin Yiming like fools.

"Ahem! I'm serious! Lin Yiming blinked.

The people below applauded without emotion.

"Okay. I know I'm talking like a fantasy. Lin Yiming scratched his head helplessly, "But you love online games more than me, so why don't you dream bigger?" Let me remind you that on October 19, 1972, the first video game competition was held at Stanford University, and this game was called Interstellar Space Warfare. ”

Hearing the familiar name of the game, the boys raised their hands, but their eyes were more incredible, because they didn't think that the game they had played turned out to be a competition event of an internationally renowned university!

But officially known as an esports tournament, the Space Interstellar Warfare Championship in 1980, which attracted 10,000 participants from nation M, has since become a mainstream hobby. In the summer of the same year, JNS World Records also began to record high scores for various video games. ”

The teenagers may not know what e-sports is, but they have heard the word "JSN" before, so they gasped compared to the previous incredible, as if something was surging wildly in their chests......

Next, Lin Yiming's words smashed down like a bombshell:

"In 1990, the Nintendo World Championship toured around country M and finally held its final in Hollywood. There are ......" Lin Yiming raised his eyebrows, "I won't list all kinds of events." ”

"Huh?!" The teenagers who are listening to the enthusiasm are collectively confused!

Lin Yiming scratched his head and said helplessly: "I just checked these things on the Internet, I only remember those few keywords that I know, and I remember so many others?"

But it can also be said that in 1998, country H next door also began to imitate country M and started e-sports competitions.

I think that as countries follow suit, the esports industry will become popular and eventually evolve into a global business. Why can't we become the third e-sports country in the hot summer? ”

The teenagers were in disbelief: "Are you serious?" Can gaming really become a mainstream hobby? Still playing? Can you get the JSN World Record? Where else can you go to Hollywood? ”

Lin Yiming swore and said: "I found these on the Internet, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Internet yourself, use Google, or Baidu to check it." No matter how good I am, there's no way I'm going to change the search engine, right? ”

"Then we can go to Hollywood too?"

Lin Yiming shook his head, although he doesn't like to play games, but after all, it is also IT-related, so he also knows a lot.

He knew that the domestic e-sports industry would become very hot in the future, but he had never heard of anyone going to Hollywood to hold a competition, and if he had not intervened in this industry, there should not have been a "domestic e-sports team going to Hollywood to hold the finals".

But looking at the teenagers with stars in his eyes, he said: "People can hold the finals in Hollywood, it's because Hollywood is from another country, and even if I hold an e-sports competition in the future, I can't go to other countries, right?" But if the finals are held at the Great Wall, it is possible. ”

"The Great Wall?" The teenagers' eyes lit up!

If you can't go to Hollywood, you can go to the Great Wall!

"Mr. Lin, is what you said true?" The 15-year-old boy asked with sparkling eyes: "Games, can you really enter the university classroom?" Can it really be a full-fledged career? Can it really be included in the Olympiad? ”

"It's my dream." He won't tell them that this "dream" will not be realized until at least 2020......

Of course, if he had "intervened", it might have been many years in advance.

"But a person's dream can be very easy to look at. The dream of influencing the whole world is not so easy to achieve. Lin Yiming said earnestly.

The 15-year-old raised his hand again: "I know, you need companions, right?" ”

Lin Yiming nodded: "Yes, I need companions, and I need a lot of people to help me expand the influence of e-sports competitions." ”

"That's us?"

"Yes."

"Hehe......" At this moment, a discordant voice sounded, a boy, Lin Yiming remembered that his name was Niu Guangping, and he was a student of a technical school.

Niu Guangping said disdainfully: "I don't believe what you say!" You must have never been scolded by your parents, right? Have you ever played the game? Do you know what other people think of us? The words of the fake big empty sound so good, but does it work? You say that if you change other people's opinions, you will change other people's opinions? ”

He paused for a moment before he said mockingly: "You don't know anything, don't tell such a lie here to deceive children!" ”

"You say, I don't understand anything, right?" Lin Yiming asked.

“？”

"You said, I haven't been scolded by my parents, that's right. But you say, I haven't played the game, and that's wrong. Lin Yiming smiled weirdly: "Why don't we make a bet, let's take the bloody legend as a bet to see who can kill the fire dragon, how about it?" ”

"How do you compare?"

"You are in a group of five, and I am in a group, each of you will go to fight the fire dragon and see who can successfully kill the fire dragon first, how about it?"

"You're going to fight the dragon alone? No way! ”

Not only Niu Guangping said it was impossible, but other teenagers also said it was impossible.

"The fire dragon is the strongest boss in our version, in the backstory, it is the patron saint of the Marfa continent and the symbol of auspiciousness, but it was eroded by the power of the Akatsuki Demon and gradually degenerated into an extremely strong boss. The difficulty of clearing the level is SSS, and you must cooperate with multiple people to kill! It is absolutely impossible for one person to succeed in killing! The little boy said.

"What if I could?"

"Impossible!" Nobody believes!

"Then now you can go play a game with me, won't you know which is true and which is false?" Lin Yiming on the podium was in a comfortable state, and seemed to have won the battle.

Niu Guangping said: "Okay! I don't believe it, you can be better than us here! ”

Who are they?

They are the top ten masters of the official server of the Legend of Blood, and the five masters are gathered together, although it is a bit difficult to fight a fire dragon, but it is not impossible to win a person, right?

"Wait, boss." The bottle teacher next to him seemed to remember something important: "Do you have a formal number?" ”

"Haha, no."

"Then what you're going to take later, shouldn't it be that ......" Jiang Youping immediately sympathized with the five young people: "You are doomed!" ”
