Lin Qi heard a female voice calling his name on campus, looked back curiously, and found that it was Fang Ju from the Jingwu Pavilion.

"Huh? Xiaoju? ”

"What a coincidence!"

Xiao Ju was wearing a floral dress, her long black hair was naturally scattered, and she was wearing a curved checkered headband on her head, still wearing glasses with red rimmes, and walked briskly in front of Lin Qi, full of youthful charm.

"Lin Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I just happened to have something last time, Xiao Yan said that you are making rapid progress."

That's also thanks to the two of you for your teachings. Are you also a college student? ”

"yes, doesn't it look like it?"

Fang Ju cut her hair and sideburns, blinked, and deliberately put on a cute appearance.

"It was quite similar, but when you say that, it doesn't look like it."

"Okay, I'm graduating soon, and if you ask a little later, you really won't be a college student."

"It turned out to be a senior sister, and the senior sister is good."

"What grade are you?"

"It's second grade."

"Well, I have to work hard for another two years, come on! Sister left first. ”

Fang Ju turned around and left, Lin Qi waved his hand and was about to turn around, but Fang Ju stopped him again.

"Hey! Lin Qi! By the way, I have something to ask you. ”

"Huh? You said. ”

"Are you free next week? There's a fencing competition in the city, and we've signed up for the team event, but there may be a shortage of spots at the moment. Whether you're interested in participating or not, just get together and don't care if you win or lose. ”

"A sword fighting competition? Team competition? ”

"Well, it's kind of like a one-on-one wheel battle in a fighting game, where you have to have five people. We just happened to have someone who couldn't participate in something at home, and we needed to fill in the seats one by one. I won't ask you for anything, just go over and make up a spot. ”

Lin Qi muttered in his heart, what's going on today, I'm going to make an appointment with my own people. I have a certain interest in the fencing competition, and it is a one-on-one competition, which does not require teamwork in the true sense.

Seeing that Lin Qi seemed to be hesitating, Fang Ju added with some urgency.

"It's just an afternoon, and it doesn't take much time."

Lin Qi looked at her anxious face and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Are you having any difficulties? If you really want to find someone to replace you, you don't need to look for me. If it's inconvenient for you to say, it's okay, I'll ......."

"The swordsmanship rating of our martial arts hall is about to expire, and if we can't get a good score this time, the swordsmanship qualification certification will be suspended. Then we can't teach swordsmanship anymore. The business of the martial arts hall is not good, if there is one less course, then the martial arts hall is estimated to be closed. ”

Fang Ju muttered a little lowly, Lin Qi looked at the somewhat haggard and pretty face, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart. But sympathy is sympathy, and doing things is doing things.

Lin Qi decided to be cautious, so he asked.

"What day is it? In which place? ”

"Next Friday, at the City Gymnasium, I can drive over and pick you up."

"I don't know how the sword competition is going to be, do you have any information?"

"Yes! Yes! I'll send it to you! ”

Fang Ju took out his mobile phone and rummaged for a while before he realized that he didn't have Lin Qi's friends.

Looking at the smiling Lin Qi with some embarrassment, Fang Ju opened his friend code.

"You can add me as a friend first."

Lin Qi was ready, and after the two added friends, Fang Ju sent several video links.

"Okay, thanks. I'll go back and see, huh...... Is it okay for me to get back to you before tonight? ”

Fang Ju's eyes lit up, she could feel that Lin Qi was a little interested, but she didn't know where Lin Qi's tangled point was. She invited Lin Qi to naturally not be pure to replace a place, she had some expectations for Lin Qi.

Well, there is, but not much. It would be nice if you could play some role in team battles.

"Yes. I'm gone, waiting for your good news, See U. ”

"Bye-bye."

This time he really said goodbye, Lin Qi looked at the link sent by Fang Ju while walking, it was a video of the swordsmanship competition.

One-on-one combat, armor, foam sword, exactly the same as the one used in the martial arts hall. The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was very fierce.

It seems to be quite interesting, and this kind of competition should also be helpful for PVP in Soul Domain. Although he now uses a knife in the game, it seems to be seventy percent similar to the routine in this sword fighting competition.

Rather than taking the initiative to attack, this game is more like a routine of testing each other and then defending and counterattacking. Well, it's similar to the way Teacher Yan taught himself.

No one is going to stand and let you play, and after the shot is an alternation of defense and counter-attack.

Lin Qi noticed that footwork was more important than flashy moves or various feints. When attacking, many players are not blocked in their moves, but they are not able to hit because of the lack of distance.

Your own attack distance, the distance with the opponent, and the speed of the opponent's footwork, if you can grasp these data clearly, then the attack hit rate will be greatly improved.

This is what I am good at.

Sitting in the café, Lin Qi drank coffee while watching the video of the sword fight. Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind him.

"Yo, Xiao Kai, watch the sword competition! It's hard! ”

Lin Qi raised his head, the person who came was Gao Qiang. This man's appearance has not changed much from five years ago, but his face is more vicissitudes.

"Boss Gao, you're here so fast, I just sat down not long ago."

Gao Qiang sat opposite Lin Qi and ordered a coffee for himself.

"Oh, you've grown up, it's been five years since we last met. used to be a genius boy, but now he is a big man. Ha ha. ”

"I'm just a sophomore, and I'm still a teenager."

"Yes! Be! Men are teenagers until they die, and people like me who are still addicted to games at my age are naturally teenagers too. Hahaha! ”

Lin Qi smiled, it was the first time to chat with Gao Qiang like this, and the boss of the e-sports opponent had simply shook hands once, but there was no communication. Gao Qiang's personality looks bold, and he is a man who has something to talk about and something to do. Lin Qi likes this kind of Gaoqiang very much, because he himself is not good at words and does not know how to detour. It will be easier to deal with such people.

"Hey, that's right, Xiao Qi. How do you live now, and with whom do you live? ”

"I, I rent a house by myself."

"Oh...... Then who is your guardian? ”

"It was supposed to be grandma, but a year later grandma was gone. Now I'm alone, and I can live my life, and I don't want to find any more guardians. ”

"And where do you get your money from? How are you spending your days? ”

"My dad's friend funded some of them, and then I made my own money."

Gao Qiang was a little surprised, this kid has been so hard in the past few years, how has he been living these days......

"Xiao Qi, come and follow me. I can guarantee a monthly salary, including food and housing, five insurances and one housing fund. What do you think? ”

If Lin Qi wants to say that he is not impressed, it is impossible, but he has a lot of concerns. In addition to the problems of self-esteem, he is currently a student, and his studies are his main task in itself. Although it takes a lot of time to spend on the soul realm game now, it is also because of the need to find the whereabouts of the parents.

To make e-sports a profession, this is not only a matter of youth, but also what level he can achieve now, he is also questioning.

The reason why he didn't immediately refuse was because Gao Qiang's proposal was an e-sports activity based on the soul domain. It seems that he can do both, but he is also unclear about the extent to which it needs to be achieved.

"Can you elaborate on the specifics?"

"Well, Xiao Qi, I don't treat you as an outsider. If you want to talk about specifics, I'll talk to you from the beginning.

I'm on an esports team, you know. Traditional esports still has a market, but it has begun to decline due to the impact of COME.

COME equipment is now only MOBA for e-sports, but because the operation method is completely subverted, so those children may not be able to adapt, but some people with better motor nerves are like fish in water. Esports has been slow and even stagnant on the COME side.

This situation in the game of Soul Domain is even more obvious, so the group of people who used to engage in e-sports really may not be able to play Soul Domain. But the characteristics of the soul domain determine that this game will definitely be popular when it engages in e-sports.

I want to gamble, bet big, and start doing Soul Domain e-sports from now on, and I don't want to be a participant, I want to be a rule-specifier. That's why I'm going to do the event.

Do you understand what I'm talking about, Xiao Kai? ”

Lin Qi understands, very well. Traditional esports is a test of hand speed, awareness and teamwork, and because it is a God's perspective, there is also a big picture in it.

But the COME device is in the first person, and it's already strange to use it to play MOBA, and if you want this group of people who sit in front of the computer every day to bounce around in the game, you basically have to retrain. And the sensitivity of the body is another matter.

"Well, but I'm just a rookie in the Soul Domain, why are you looking for me?"

"Haha, Xiao Qi. You're too presumptuous. Your talent is unmatched, and it was evident in the last dungeon. This is not a commercial blow. Your current ability is indeed not top-level in the soul domain, but this is because you came into contact a little late.

Let's be honest, you're what I want most in person. ”

"Me?"

Gao Qiang pointed his finger at Lin Qi, nodded slightly, and said very solemnly.

"To pull investment, there must be stories and gimmicks. You should understand this, traffic. The only e-sports Grand Slam teenager in history has returned five years after retiring from retirement, don't you think this is the best breaking point? ”

This advertising slogan is a bit exaggerated and a little ashamed, Lin Qi is not too embarrassed to take over this topic, so he can only nod.

"There are many opinions about why you quit, and this discussion is valuable but not central. However, everyone will definitely question whether you can continue to shine on COME. ”

"Hehe, I'm skeptical myself."

Lin Qi smiled lightly, as if he was a little self-deprecating.

"Huh? I've heard you're going to be invincible. How? Frustrated? ”

This sentence reminded Lin Qi that yes, he had already said that he would be invincible in front of the blind bear.

"How about it, the strongest man in the closed beta, plus the strongest teenager in history, are you still satisfied with this combination?"

"Sure enough, it's you, and when my friend told me, I was guessing."

"Hahaha. It's so honorable that you still think of me. ”

"I'm thinking about it, it's been a bit much lately. Some thoughts are not very easy to sort out, let me calm down and think about it. ”

"Of course! Oh yes, I'm not done yet, there's one more point. In order to do this, I needed to set up an esports company. Because you are one of the things I rely on to succeed, the company will also give you some shares, and you will also be one of the shareholders. Do things, I am certainly not talking about it, and everyone's interests will be guaranteed. ”

After talking about this matter, Gao Qiang took Lin Qi to a nearby high-end restaurant for a big meal. During the meal, the two did not discuss this topic again, they were all talking about the past few years.

Lin Qi's mind was chaotic, and it was a little unclear when Boss Gao left. In the past, just surviving made me anxious, but being able to ensure that I didn't fall behind in my studies under this situation feels like I'm doing my best. Now there are more soul games, and I have to participate in the swordsmanship competition, and Boss Gao invited himself to engage in e-sports.

Lin Qi was really a little confused. At this time, the only person Lin Qi could ask for help was Jiang Hong.

"Hey, Dahong, come to my house at night and put on your helmet. I have something I want to ask you for. ”
