Chapter 832: The Temptation to Return to the Village

Lin Feng decided to put his e-sports career on hold for the time being and devote himself to life in his hometown. He plans to build his own villa on that familiar land, which will not only serve as a haven for his soul, but also as a new world outside of esports.

On a sunny day, Lin Feng found his childhood friend Komatsu, and the two enjoyed the shade under the old banyan tree at the head of the village, planning the design blueprint of the villa together. Komatsu is a down-to-earth and capable carpenter, he fully supports Lin Feng's idea, and promises to help build this villa that carries Lin Feng's dream.

"Brother Feng, are you planning to say goodbye to the e-sports circle when you come back to build a villa?" Komatsu asked as he smoked a cigarette and looked at the fields in the distance.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "No, Xiao Song, I just need a while to settle and think. Esports is my passion and a part of me that I can't give up with. And this is where I find my original intention."

In the following days, Lin Feng and Komatsu worked side by side, sweating in the countryside, and the villa gradually turned from drawings into reality. In their spare time, they sit by the creek next to the construction site, reminiscing about the fun of catching fish and shrimp in their childhood, or discussing how to introduce e-sports education to the countryside, so that more children can understand and come into contact with this challenging and passionate world.

On a crisp autumn afternoon, the main structure of the villa had begun to take shape, Lin Feng stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the golden rice fields, and said to Xiao Song, who was resting on the side: "Xiao Song, you look at this field, just like our life, there are seeds, hard work, and harvests. Through this villa, I want to integrate the spirit of e-sports into the soil of my hometown, so that more people know that no matter where they are, as long as they have love, they can create their own glory."

After hearing this, Xiao Song nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with expectation: "Brother Feng, you can do it with confidence, our village people will fully support you." I also want to see what kind of esports miracle you can create in this peaceful land."

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the two of them, creating a picture full of strength and hope. Their conversation echoed in the evening breeze.

"Komatsu, I plan to take a break from my job in the esports industry and devote myself to life in my hometown." Lin Feng sat on a big stone next to the villa construction site, fiddling with a fishing rod in his hand, his eyes showed firmness and relief, "I want to find that simple and pure happiness here, and at the same time, I want to use this time to think and plan for the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Song looked at Lin Feng with some surprise, but quickly nodded in understanding: "Brother Feng, if you can make such a decision, it means that you have truly found your inner home. In fact, I have always felt that whether it is in the city or the countryside, as long as you have love in your heart, you can shine anywhere."

The two chatted as they hooked the bait and threw it into the sparkling stream. Childhood memories are like reflections in the stream, rippling in circles with ripples.

"I remember when I was a child, we used to fish by this creek, and we were carefree and happy at that time." Komatsu was overwhelmed with emotion, and the fishing rod in his hand shook slightly.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with nostalgia: "Yes, our happiness at that time was so simple. Although I am in a bustling world now, I find that the things that touch people's hearts the most are often the most simple and primitive things."

As the sun set, the golden afterglow sprinkled on them, accompanied by the sound of the breeze blowing through the rice fields and the melody of the gurgling stream, Lin Feng and Komatsu seemed to return to that innocent era.

"Komatsu, do you remember that at that time we always loved to fantasize, what kind of people will we become in the future?" Lin Feng put away his fishing rod and looked at the ripples on the water.

Komatsu looked up at the sky and said leisurely, "Of course, I said I wanted to be a good carpenter, and you said you were going to make a name for yourself in the world of esports. Now it seems that we have all achieved our dreams."

Lin Feng nodded, his eyes blazing: "That's right, we have all come a long way on our respective paths. But no matter what, I will never forget where I started, and I will never forget the shared love for my hometown and esports."

As night falls, the fields under the stars seem more tranquil and serene. Lin Feng and Xiao Song carried their fishing rods and walked on the way home, leaving a series of deep footprints behind them

, which is the imprint of their dreams and memories.

"Komatsu, come with me to the town tomorrow to buy some books, I want to build an e-sports learning room in the village, so that children can understand this field, maybe one day in the future, they will walk out of this field and go to a broader stage." Lin Feng's words were full of expectation and determination.

After hearing this, Xiao Song patted Lin Feng's shoulder vigorously: "Brother Feng, I support you!" Let's work together to let the seeds of e-sports take root and sprout in this land, so that more people can see that even in the countryside, they can have the right to pursue their e-sports dreams."

The next day, Lin Feng and Komatsu went to the town with great expectations to buy books and prepare for the construction of an e-sports study room. However, when their plan spread in the village, it did not receive everyone's support. In particular, Lao Li, the village party secretary, adheres to the traditional concept that e-sports is not a proper job, and resolutely opposes the introduction of this kind of "plaything" into the village.

In the afternoon of this day, Lin Feng was discussing with Xiao Song on the villa construction site how to arrange the study room, and the village party secretary Lao Li broke in angrily. His face was serious, and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and resoluteness: "Lin Feng, I heard that you are going to run an e-sports study room in the village? You're trying to lead the children astray!"

When Lin Feng heard this, although he felt helpless in his heart, he still remained calm and tried to convince Lao Li: "Uncle Li, e-sports is not just a simple game, it is a competitive sport, and it is also a nationally recognized sport. We hope that through this learning room, the children in the village can learn more about the world, and maybe even explore their potential to go out of the village and onto a bigger stage."

However, Lao Li was not moved by Lin Feng's words, but became even more angry: "E-sports is e-sports, and no matter how much you package it, you can't change its essence!" If you do this, you will only delay your children's learning and make them forget that plowing the fields is the right way!" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand to a few strong men behind him, "Clean up all that mess for me, don't spoil the atmosphere here!"

In the face of the sudden violent interference, although Lin Feng was indignant in his heart, he knew that it was not a wise move to fight hard at this moment. Just as those strong men were about to make a move, Lin Feng straightened his waist and looked at Lao Li with a firm look in his eyes: "Uncle Li, I understand your adherence to the traditional way of life, but I believe that e-sports can also bring young people a new way out. Please give us a chance and the children in the village a chance to get in touch with new things."

However, no matter how Lin Feng argued, Lao Li's attitude was always tough, and in the end, in the chaos, Lin Feng was unfortunately beaten badly. In addition to the pain, he still did not forget to look back at Lao Li with a resolute gaze, and said word by word: "Even if you stop me today, you can't stop the development and progress of the times. Esports education will one day be accepted by more people, and I will continue to work towards this goal."

After this conflict, Lin Feng was beaten all over his body, but the belief in his heart became more and more firm. He knows that although this road is difficult, he must persevere, not only for his love of esports, but also for his love

In order to give rural children the opportunity to get in touch with more possibilities and bravely pursue their dreams.

After lying on a hospital bed for a few days, Lin Feng's body gradually recovered. The parents looked at their son distressedly, and the mother persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Feng'er, your father and I both understand your persistence and love, but sometimes, we have to compromise with reality. You see Uncle Li, they are also for the sake of the peace and traditional life of the village, maybe e-sports can shine in the city, but in our small mountain village, it is really difficult to be accepted."

The father clasped Lin Feng's hand and said in a deep voice, "Son, although farming is hard, it can really feed our family. It's good that you have this dedication to esports, but you can't let it stop you from giving up on the fundamentals of life. Take care of your body first, then plant the fields with us, and when you have the opportunity in the future, you can realize your esports dreams."

Lin Feng looked at his parents' worried faces, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He knew that his parents' words were reasonable, but the fire in his heart was not extinguished, but even hotter. He endured the pain and squeezed out a smile in response, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't give up completely because of this setback. I will work with you to do a good job of farming first, and at the same time, I will also look for opportunities to make the people in the village understand and accept e-sports."

After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Feng actively devoted himself to farming life, and at the same time began to plan how to introduce e-sports education to the countryside in a more gentle and down-to-earth manner. He knows that only when esports intersects with real life can the stereotypes of the older generation be truly broken.

One evening after the rain, Lin Feng approached Aunt Zhang, a primary school teacher in the village, to explain her idea to her, and invited her to open a summer camp with the theme of "e-sports and teamwork" during the summer vacation. Although Aunt Zhang didn't know much about e-sports, she saw the enthusiasm and determination in Lin Feng's eyes and decided to support his attempt.

After the news broke, there was a lot of discussion in the village. Although Lao Li and others still oppose it, many young people and enlightened parents have expressed their support and are willing to let their children participate in this novel summer camp.

When the summer vacation came, Lin Feng and Komatsu prepared an e-sports summer camp together, setting up a few computers in the humble village activity room and carefully designing a series of entertaining and educational games. On the first day of the camp, looking at the excited and curious eyes of the children, Lin Feng took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Children, what we are going to do today is not only to play games, but more importantly, to learn the spirit of teamwork and facing challenges. Remember, whether in the game or in life, the most important thing is to stick to your original intention and keep your feet on the ground."

As the summer camp progressed, more and more villagers began to change their views on e-sports, and they saw the unity, hard work and wisdom shown by the children in the game, and also understood why Lin Feng was so persistent. In this process, Lin Feng also found a new possibility of combining e-sports and local culture, and he firmly believes that in this familiar field, a different kind of e-sports flower will be born.

"Komatsu, look at these children, their smiling faces are the motivation for me to keep going." Lin Feng stood outside the activity room, looking at the children who were focusing on the activities indoors, and was full of emotion, "I know that this road is still long, but I believe that as long as we work hard, one day, e-sports will take root and blossom in this land."

Xiao Song patted Lin Feng's shoulder, and a confident smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Feng, don't worry, we will always be with you until that day comes." Under the setting sun, the figures of the two were stretched out and reflected in the window of the e-sports classroom.

After Lin Feng lay on the hospital bed for a few days, his body gradually recovered. Although he knew that the conflict with the village party secretary Li Damen could not be resolved for a while, the determination in his heart to correct the name of e-sports education did not waver. After careful consideration, he decided to put aside his personal grievances for the time being, and first change the villagers' perception of e-sports through practical actions.

After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Feng, Komatsu and Aunt Zhang summarized the experience of the summer camp and planned to hold an e-sports knowledge lecture in the village, inviting e-sports practitioners in the city to share their stories and the development status of the e-sports industry. In this way, they hope to let the villagers understand that e-sports is not just a simple game, but also a competitive sport with a rigorous training system and broad development prospects.

At the same time, Lin Feng also began to prepare a small village e-sports competition, encouraging young people in the village to form teams to participate, so that they can experience the fun and challenges brought by e-sports. He also specially invited Lao Li's son Xiaoqiang to participate, hoping to take this opportunity to break the ice in Lao Li's heart.

One evening, Lin Feng found Lao Li, holding a detailed e-sports competition plan in his hand, and said sincerely: "Uncle Li, I know that you have many doubts about my promotion of e-sports, but I really hope that you can give the children a chance to try. This e-sports competition is not only for fun, but also to develop their teamwork skills and resilience in the face of setbacks."

Lao Li looked at Lin Feng, who was covered with scars in front of him but had firm eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and took over the plan: "Fengzi, you kid has a kind of tenacity, I admire Lao Li. Since you are so persistent, then I will give you a chance, but only if it does not interfere with the children's learning and farm work."

After getting Lao Li's acquiescence, the stone in Lin Feng's heart fell to the ground. He started organizing the competition non-stop, and the event received more and more support and participation from the villagers.
