Chapter 21: Once a Dream
Sun Yifan looked at his cousin, and saw the unusually determined expression on his cousin's face, which made him vaguely remember that once upon a time, like his cousin, he once wanted to adhere to the dream of e-sports.
At that time when e-sports was immature, e-sports was just regarded as a game, and even because of the pursuit of e-sports dreams, he was regarded as an Internet addicted teenager, and he might be sent to concentration camps and treated by some experts and professors, and e-sports was really just a dream.
At that time, how many young people who worked hard for this dream finally had to choose to give up, or even stay away from the game that accompanied them as they grew up.
Sun Yifan's generation is now almost all in their prime, and for them, games have always accompanied them to grow up.
Almost all of their generation were only children, and they were the only children in the family, and they seemed to be a collection of thousands of loves, but in fact, the thousands of favors of the elders still could not make up for their loneliness.
Without siblings, they often face empty rooms when they leave school and return home.
Parents are busy with work and part-time jobs, and they don't have time to spend with them all the time, and that loneliness is indelible, and the appearance of games just makes up for their loneliness.
Games go from being a part of their growth to being a part of their lives.
In that era when everyone regarded games as a flood beast, how many people really considered the real reason why Sun Yifan and his generation were addicted to the Internet and online games?
In online games, everyone can make friends without care, they can speak freely, and vent all the unsatisfactory in their lives.
It's like World of Warcraft on the cusp of the storm, the game that seems to addict many people.
But in reality, World of Warcraft is a team game, everyone has their own place, and in the union and team dungeons, everyone performs their own duties and works together towards the same goal, reflecting a team spirit.
For children like Sun Yifan who grew up alone, they can find that kind of brotherly and sisterly affection in the team dungeon of World of Warcraft, so that they can know how to tolerate others and understand the importance of teamwork.
Sun Yifan's first contact with the so-called e-sports was the first kill of the team dungeon in World of Warcraft at that time.
Seeing his current cousin, Sun Yifan is like seeing himself at that time, in order to be able to compete for the first kill of the dungeon boss with his partner, and work hard for that dream together.
Let's go to the wasteland dungeon together, study the skills of the bosses in those dungeons, and explore many details in the dungeon.
At that time, just like the cousin in front of me now, he may not be doing his job in the eyes of many elders, but it is indeed their dream, and it is also the first time they want to put all their efforts into one thing.
Sun Yifan remembered himself at the beginning, ran to the field behind his family, and joined a very famous strategy team at that time.
Originally, Sun Yifan thought that when he got there, he might be in a small black Internet café, where a group of people nested in the Internet café every day to conduct copy research.
But the result was completely different, the team was very formal, and there was a special copy research room, and a special high-configuration machine was prepared.
Let Sun Yifan better study the copy, be able to open the special effects, and study every detail in the copy very smoothly, even the bugs in the production of the copy were found by Sun Yifan and his team at that time.
What makes Sun Yifan even more memorable is that everyone in the team is like a family, many of them are older than Sun Yifan, they will take the initiative to take care of Sun Yifan, and really treat Sun Yifan as a younger brother.
It can be said that in those months, although Sun Yifan left home alone, he also felt at home in that strategy team.
After the strategy was completed, although the team failed to win the world's first kill, the team's boss still paid the money, and there were two people to send Sun Yifan home.
also explained the whole thing to Sun Yifan's parents, and did not let Sun Yifan be scolded by his parents because of that incident.
Later, with the encouragement of those union friends, Sun Yifan put down the game and went back to repeat, worked hard to prepare for the exam, and in the last few months of the college entrance examination, through his own efforts, he was admitted to a good university.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Sun Yifan's experience was very rebellious, but it is precisely because of that experience that Sun Yifan has become more cheerful and looks at things very positively and optimistically.
The current cousin has actually experienced the same period as himself, which is a trough period that needs to be faced after failing the college entrance examination.
In addition, his cousin's father, Sun Yifan's second uncle is now in prison, and Sun Yifan knows very well that his cousin may be even more depressed than his two college entrance examination failures.
At such a time, perhaps his family will not support him, hoping that he will continue to repeat his studies, and will think that going to university is the only way out for him.
But I can't let go of some gray things in my heart, and at this time, I am afraid that asking my cousin to repeat may not achieve good results, and even being forced to repeat will make him rebellious, and finally the gray emotional backlog will force him to go to a more extreme path.
Sun Yifan remembered that he had secretly run away to join the strategy team, and the guild president of that team was also the boss who recruited them to the strategy, and he had chatted with him specifically.
The president once said that he didn't plan to keep Sun Yifan, firstly because Sun Yifan was young, and secondly because Sun Yifan did not get the consent of his family.
The chairman smiled at the time and said, "We are not a group of teenagers who are addicted to the Internet, we are a team that really wants to work hard for our dreams, so you are not qualified." ”
"However, I still want you to stay, because you failed the college entrance examination, and it was two college entrance examination failures, for a child, the college entrance examination is a key step to change his life, and two failures are also a huge blow."
"Let you stay, I hope you can be here, get out of the shadow of the college entrance examination failure, be able to untie the knot in your heart, let you get out of the current dullness, be able to become cheerful, grow in the team, and be more positive to go back to face your life."
In today's view, it seems that the guild president was very pretending to say that, after all, the guild president is not very old.
But Sun Yifan didn't laugh at the other party, because the other party did what he said, and it was with that experience that Sun Yifan's personality completely changed.
Be able to truly face the trough of life, be able to work hard for what you are pursuing, and be positive and optimistic about the people and things around you.
The original experience came to mind one by one, and Sun Yifan looked at his cousin's expectant gaze again.
Sun Yifan smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, if your jungler can't participate, I can join your team and help you play together." ”
When Lu Jinyang heard this, he immediately cheered excitedly: "Really? Hahaha, great, great, with your cousin, we will definitely win the city competition, and we will definitely be able to advance all the way to the national championship. ”
