Chapter 6: Uninvited!
Chapter 6: Uninvited! (Please read)
By four o'clock in the morning, Li Yi had played thirteen games quickly, but unfortunately he lost one game. Otherwise, he would have had a chance to break a thousand and get closer to the first place in the national server.
Since I have already lost a game, this is obviously a reminder to myself that it is time to take a break.
Looking at his 940 victory points, he got off the plane early with great satisfaction.
I get home around 4:10, take a quick shower, and go to sleep at 5:00 and wake up at noon. The jet lag will not affect me too much, and I can sleep normally at night.
It is not easy to cause disorder.
I couldn't fall asleep lying in bed, and every night I had nightmares. To be honest, it was really hard to bear.
This is the experience I gained from being addicted to League of Legends in the past few years.
I have just become an adult today, let alone a few years ago. I couldn’t even bear to take a bottle of mineral water, and would rather run downstairs to drink some tap water.
You won't get sick if you eat something unclean, at most you'll just have a stomachache.
With so little money each week and wanting to surf the Internet, the only option available was to find the most cost-effective way to surf the Internet all night.
It costs eight dollars for an overnight stay, from 10pm to 8am the next morning.
A full ten hours, which comes out to be exactly 80 cents an hour.
Before, Li Yi was reluctant to spend so much time, as long as he booked a whole night, he would definitely play from 10 o'clock until the end of the time.
If you are young, there is no problem doing it once or twice, and you can handle it three or four times.
But over time, the biological clock is completely disrupted.
I couldn't sleep even after taking the medicine. This period was an absolute torture.
After all, staying up late is always a bad thing.
Although he was still addicted later on, Li Yi became more restrained. If he really wanted to go online, he would not play all night long, but would leave time to go home and rest.
At least you won't feel unsteady on your feet when you come out of the Internet cafe.
On the way, I bought two baskets of steamed dumplings and two servings of century egg and lean meat soup from the breakfast shop downstairs.
Today's consumption is 30 yuan.
Put the steamed dumplings and century egg and lean meat soup into the rice cooker to keep them warm, and you can eat them directly when your parents wake up.
After a simple shower, it was almost five o'clock. Li Yi, whose eyelids were beginning to droop, fell into a comfortable sleep.
During this period, Li Yi's national server record has appeared on the computers of more and more team coaches.
After all, pdd is now a big anchor on Douyu and the second brother in the League of Legends section.
In addition, the team he established is sprinting towards LPL. The most important thing is that due to the defeat in the global finals, although PDD has retired, he still feels that he needs to make his own contribution to the e-sports industry.
Therefore, the team's core support Ming was transferred to RNG in order to form the world's strongest bottom lane combination with Xiaohu and help LPL win the global finals championship.
Especially this year, the venue for the global finals is in the country, and the final venue is still the National Stadium.
In addition to achieving a breakthrough from zero, the championship was also kept in the country!
Therefore, these retired e-sports players must also stand up.
It's true that PDD made a lot of money thanks to Xiao Ming's move. His popularity skyrocketed and anyone who saw it would have to give him a thumbs up. For the first LPL championship, he didn't even care whether his club could win the LPL.
You know, an LPL seat is worth 50 million.
But the price of lspl is greatly discounted, and in the eyes of people who know the business, it may not even be worth five million.
The gap is so big.
Even though pdd is a big anchor on Douyu, the money he earned during this period is definitely not up to 50 million.
As long as you get a spot... then you can transform from an anchor to capital.
Don’t even mention that things are going very positively right now, even Wuwu Kai is under tremendous pressure, and it feels like he’s going to lose the top spot at any moment.
But PDD’s focus is not on live streaming right now…
I don’t know when it started, but ym has a new nickname, the Huangpu Military Academy of e-sports.
Under such circumstances, many clubs have begun to pay attention to YM's recent moves.
See if you can get something out of it.
If you can get the Golden Legend, won’t you have the foundation for building a team?
Especially the excavation of the Golden Left Hand made these people feel very sorry.
The contract was signed for only 100,000 and the team was sold to their big enemy Suning. The contract was also very interesting. If it was at the critical moment when YM was promoted to LPL, the previous contract would be temporarily invalidated and Left Hand would need to come back to help them play the game.
To be honest, no normal person would agree to such a thing.
However, Suning has ideas about achieving good results in the LPL.
The golden left hand Knight, although he has not yet proven himself with results in the arena.
But he has been ranked first in both servers, which is an exaggerated environment in the domestic mid lane.
Because the Korean server is much more valuable than the Chinese server, professional players from all over the world are competing in this small server.
Not only that, there is also the big devil Faker in the middle position.
Being able to get first place in the Korean server under such circumstances, and in the mid lane, is enough to show how exaggerated his strength is.
Especially at my current age, only sixteen.
The future is expected.
This is really the future to look forward to.
Suning signed a loan contract with PDD just for this gamble.
So you think Suning is outrageous, but the goal of building the team is to win the global finals championship.
Expand Suning’s popularity among young people.
As long as they can succeed, they can actually copy the routes of Wanda and Taobao at that time.
So if you take this little money to gamble, the rewards of success can be thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
In this case, Suning can also afford it.
He doesn't care what other people think of him, or whether he's been taken advantage of.
With so many events combined, it seems normal and there is nothing wrong with so many club coaches paying attention to him.
As a result, Li Yi has become the first choice for new midfielders that many clubs want to sign.
They all try their best to get in touch.
However, PDD refused to talk about it here. All he said was that there was indeed no problem with the training after signing the contract, and he will talk to everyone about the follow-up later.
They all understood the implication.
I want to get a good net worth later.
This pig really is!
He really made both fame and money.
I really didn't expect that among so many retired professional players, he was the only one who thought of building a team, and not only that, he actually built this team.
……
At half past twelve, Li Yi stretched out in bed.
I had a pretty good sleep, seven and a half hours. After I let out a long sigh, I heard my father watching me eat.
Li Yi finished washing up and sat down at the dining table. Looking at his parents, he felt a little nervous, thinking about how to tell them that he wanted to become a professional. He ate carefully while secretly observing his parents' expressions.
It seemed that yesterday did not affect their mood much.
"Dad, Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you." Li Yi finally mustered up the courage to speak.
His parents stopped what they were doing and looked at him with confusion in their eyes. "What's the matter?" his father asked.
Li Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "I... I want to play professional e-sports. Last night a team invited me to try out." "And the last time the EPA coach He Bin came to our house, he told me that I could join his team without a tryout."
“This is an opportunity for me…”
The mother frowned and said, "Playing professional e-sports? What future does that have? You didn't study hard before and just thought about things that don't really matter. Now you're thinking about this again?"
She was immediately furious. In Li's mother's opinion, the reason why Li Yi became like this had a lot to do with this game.
Even though he had learned about e-sports this year, he still regretted not letting Li Yi give it a try at that time.
But the words changed when they came out of his mouth.
As Li's mother finished speaking, the table fell into silence.
The same thing happened last year.
The smile on Li Yi's face gradually disappeared.
Still no? Yesterday he had the idea of becoming a professional player, not only to prove himself, but also to make his parents proud of him.
No longer subject to the ridicule of outsiders.
But the result is still the same.
"Cough cough cough..." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Father Li coughed softly.
"Actually, your mom didn't mean that. She's still angry. We were both wrong about what happened last year. Every time we talk about it, we both regret it."
"I should have let you go in the first place... This is what your mother often says. If I had let you go last year, would our family's situation have been completely different?"
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this.
"In fact, after all these years, don't you know? Your mother has the toughest mouth!"
"I can't even utter a word of submissiveness."
"In fact, we talked about this when you went out last night. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Just don't miss any good opportunities. Since there is a team looking for you to try out, go ahead and give it a try."
Father Li knew very well what kind of personality his wife had. He was dreaming if he wanted to hear a good word from her.
I have finally mustered up the courage in this situation. If I break down after just a few words, what will I do next?
He has to come again, and some things just need to be made clear.
"So...you mean you've already agreed?"
Li Yi looked a little surprised, but in the next second he showed ecstasy.
"I agreed, but when will the team you mentioned arrange a tryout for you be arranged? We are definitely worried about you going to such a far place by yourself."
After hearing this, Li Yi immediately looked at Li's mother.
Finally she nodded.
"What your father meant is actually what I meant."
Li Yi felt relieved when his mother said this.
Parents agreed!
They finally agreed to go pro.
To be honest, if he didn't agree, Li Yi really felt that he would rebel.
Because according to the future life experience shown by Lao Deng's counterattack system, even if he played professionally... he would have been a substitute for five full years.
Although he did not fall into the big pit of RNG this time, after experiencing two setbacks from his parents, he didn't know if he still had the confidence to play this profession.
But finally... I got recognition.
"Dad, Mom, thank you! Thank you for understanding and supporting me. I know you had a lot of concerns about playing professional e-sports in the beginning, but you still chose to believe in me. This trust is invaluable to me."
Li Yi's voice trembled slightly, and he continued: "Don't worry, I will work hard and live up to your expectations."
"What's going on? It's just a simple chat, why did you make it so emotional? But you said so, we must make a name for ourselves."
"But there is one thing I need to make clear to you. We will come with you when you go for the tryout. You are still too young and have not been exposed to these things in society. You are likely to be deceived by these twists and turns."
Li Yi thought of RNG's contract trap and nodded vigorously.
Indeed, these things can only be checked by parents.
Mainly, there is no way to guarantee
"Eat, eat..."
Although today's food is very vegetarian, Li Yi feels it is particularly delicious.
After untying the knot in the heart, the atmosphere at home seemed to have welcomed a warm spring breeze, sweeping away the dullness and coldness of the past.
Li Yi sat with his parents at the dinner table, chatting leisurely.
Laughter rang out from time to time, as clear and pleasant as silver bells. The sunlight shone on them through the window, adding a soft color to this warm picture.
After lunch, Li Yi was washing dishes in the kitchen with a bitter face.
He complained while washing dishes. He didn't really dislike washing dishes. The most uncomfortable thing was that he had to bend over to wash dishes, which almost broke his old waist.
I couldn't straighten my back after washing the dishes.
He reacted the next second.
Li's mother is about 1.67 meters tall, and even at this height she still has to bend over to wash dishes.
Thinking of this, Li Yi stopped complaining and started washing the dishes properly.
He saw something like a dishwasher online.
When I become a professional player and get a big contract, I will arrange it for my family right away.
I took out my cell phone and planned to contact pdd.
But at this moment, the doorbell rang.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, do you still remember me?" He Bin smiled brightly the moment he opened the door.
There was no way. The last time I entered the house and explained my purpose, I was almost chased out with a broom.
I was still a little panicked this time.
Because he knew very well that the older generation might have deep-rooted ideas, thinking that studying is the only way out and that games are a scourge.
But this is for people without talent.
If you have the talent to become a top professional player, you can earn in just a few years what an average person cannot earn in their entire lifetime.
"Are you that EPA manager?"
He Bin was stunned on the spot. He really didn't expect that he could still remember the visit.
"Right... This is the second time I've come uninvited. I hope you don't mind."
"Li Yi is a very talented player. It's a pity for him to stay at home without playing professionally!"
"Last time in the EPA club, I didn't have much say, so I couldn't guarantee many things. But this time, I really came here to represent the GT team with full sincerity."
"A new contract worth three hundred and fifty thousand a year." He said as he observed the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Li.
"How much?" Father Li asked loudly.
"We are very sincere! A contract worth 350,000, no, 400,000 a year! We want to reach a cooperation with Li Yi!"
"Speak louder. I didn't hear you clearly...How much is it per year?"
"Four hundred thousand! Four hundred thousand!"
Father Li pulled He Bin in and closed the door.
The few people who were about to go upstairs were chatting with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Will Old Li find someone to deceive us? Is there someone who wants to pay his son 400,000 yuan?"
“I think it’s fake too…”
