"What are you talking about?" Cheng Suinian opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling in the dark.
"Let's chat?" Feng Can tentatively asked, "For example, why do you play professionally?"
"..."
Cheng Sunian remembered that he had asked Feng Can this question before, but now he was asked back. He couldn't help chuckling, a bit self-deprecating: "For the dream."
"You were..."
"I was sixteen years old at the time, nine years." Cheng Sunian said, "It flies so fast."
"..."
Feng Can got stuck for a while. He was only ten years old nine years ago, and he has no memory of what happened back then. He only knew that the e-sports circle had not formed a so-called "circle" at that time. There were few people, and the market was so small that it could be ignored. It's not so "professional", it's just a group of teenagers who love games to play games, far inferior to the current "regular army".
This means that playing professionally in that environment has no future at all, and people will look at them with colored glasses, thinking that they are Internet addicts who have been ruined by games, and they are not doing business all day long.
Presumably Cheng Su Nian also experienced this back then.
"How did you decide at the time? Did your family agree?" Feng Can thought of himself, "I was still studying when I started the live broadcast, but I dropped out when I came to play the game. My parents got angry, but they didn't control me. "
"My family doesn't agree either."
Cheng Sunian thought about it, those were all nine years ago, far away from now.
Like the ordinary people on the street, he was born in an ordinary family with nothing worth mentioning. He has no money and is not poor. When he was in school, he had excellent grades. His teachers liked him, his classmates envied him, and his parents placed high hopes on him, hoping that he would be able to succeed in the future.
But then he became obsessed with online games—since he has always been a "good boy", neither naughty nor rebellious, his parents are very reassuring about him, and they don't usually control him strictly, so that they don't know when he started to fall in love with playing games Yes, until he suddenly announced that he had made a decision to drop out of school and play professional games elsewhere.
The news was like a bolt from the blue. Cheng Sunian's parents, relatives, and even the school's teachers, all the insiders came to stop him and tried every means, hoping that he would "get back from the wrong way" and not ruin his future because of playing with things.
Cheng Sunian tried to communicate with his family, but the mainstream society at that time couldn’t accept this industry—it couldn’t even be said to be a mature industry. At that time, everything was just getting started. Even if e-sports players won the championship, they could only revel in a small area. In the whole society, they have no name, no status and no money. Playing a job for a few years is equivalent to wasting a few years of life. After you have wasted your youth, you want to integrate into the society again. What is the way out
—Retiring and becoming an anchor to open a store to make money is the current way, and the live broadcast industry had not yet emerged back then.
What's more, he gave up his future to play the game, and he may not be able to win the championship. It is more likely that he will waste his studies and get nothing in the end.
Cheng Sunian is from the north, he insisted on leaving, and went to Shanghai to join a "senior" he met on the Internet.
On the last night before leaving home, his father smoked a cigarette in the living room all night, and kept asking him: "What do you want to do? What are you doing for? Do you want to piss me off?"
Cheng Sunian was beaten up, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he said with a stiff neck, "For the dream."
The word "dream" is loud and loud. He has so much backbone. After being locked in the room, he jumped out of the window and left the house the next day. In the end, he still wanted to take the money from the family—his mother secretly stuffed him with 10,000 yuan in cash. Starve outside.
In this way, sixteen-year-old Cheng Su-nian came to Shanghai alone with his 10,000 yuan, confusion and panic that he didn't dare to tell others or let himself find out, and his passion.
He then stayed in the city for nine years.
"I don't remember anything else." Cheng Sunian said briefly about this experience in an understatement tone, "It's not difficult to make a decision, and it came out as soon as the brain got hot. I was not sensible at the time and didn't think too much about it."
"..."
Feng Can knew that Cheng Sunian was talking about him back then, but somehow felt that he had been shot in the knee by an arrow.
Feng Can thought for a while: "You can't say that. If you boldly drop out of school and leave your hometown to pursue your dream, how can you make your brain hot? If this is just a 'brain hot', don't you think your brain is too powerful? Captain?"
Before Cheng Sunian could speak, Feng Can started to talk nicely: "Later, you are so good, you won so many championships, and you also have money. Your parents are very pleased, right? Do you already understand you?"
"..." Cheng Su Nian was silent for two seconds, "No, my father died of illness in the second year after I came out, and my mother went to accompany him the year before last."
Feng Can was taken aback: "I'm sorry."
"fine."
Cheng Sunian didn't care, but Feng Can was very annoyed. He wanted to have a fun chat. It would be better if he could get to know each other better through chatting. Unfortunately, this topic seemed to make Cheng Sunian unhappy.
But the second goal was achieved, and he felt that the distance between them was a little closer.
Feng Can couldn't help but want to "make an inch".
He couldn't help himself, and wanted to ask any questions immediately, "Later, what club did you play in when you first started playing professionally? I heard that Scorpion was founded by you and was sold by Xu Xiang. Is that true?" ?”
"..." Cheng Sunian turned around and glanced at him, "I'm one of the founders. The Scorpion at that time couldn't compare to what it is now. It was just a small team formed by a few of our old friends. It wasn't formal enough and didn't even have a serious coach. , but the record was good, and then—"
Speaking of this, Cheng Su Nian paused.
He just came to Shanghai that year, and the "senior" who brought him was the boss of a game team. Fortunately, he didn't meet a liar. It's also unfortunate that the game of this game ended shortly after, the team disbanded, the boss walked away, and the players went to their mothers.
Cheng Sunian didn't dare to tell his family that he hadn't called back since he left home, so he was ashamed to call. Therefore, life was very difficult at the time, but he was very talented and could play EOH. Just in time for EOH to become a popular game, he formed Team Scorpion with a few friends he met in an Internet cafe and participated in the Shanghai City Competition of EOH.
Among these few friends, Xu Xiang was included.
Xu Xiang is a very strong AD. Cheng Sunian didn't have a particular position at the time. He had played jungler and mid laner. Later, due to the lack of support in the team, he was asked to fill the position. The results also proved that he is suitable for this position.
At that time, there were not many strong domestic teams. Although Scorpion was a small team, it was strong. It swept the professional competition of EOH like a whirlwind all the way, and became the brightest dark horse that year.
Later, in a key match, Cheng Su Nian had an accident.
This incident almost ruined his entire career, making him poor and struggling for a whole year. It was not until he met Guo Ye that he had the opportunity to become the God of the SP.
Seeing that Cheng Sunian didn't speak for a long time, Feng Can almost had a heart attack.
Whenever Cheng Sunian fell into deep thought, he racked his brains but couldn't guess what Cheng Sunian was thinking, and now Feng Can showed signs of "love brain", he couldn't help thinking about that, and he was jealous with himself. .
He thought that Xu Xiang was Cheng Sunian's old friend and his earliest bot lane partner, the relationship between the support and AD would definitely be deeper than with other teammates.
"Later Xu Xiang betrayed you?" Feng Can said deliberately, "Did he sell the team without telling your friends? This person is too immoral."
"No, the situation is more complicated."
Cheng Sunian didn't want to say so much, the past has passed, and he is not the same as he was back then, since he doesn't care anymore, there is no need to mention it again and again.
He thought for a while, and said to Feng Can: "It's not betraying me, he just chose to stand by when I needed help the most."
"..."
Feng Can tasted this sentence, but before he realized the meaning, Cheng Sunian suddenly pulled up his quilt, pulled it up hard, covered his face, and said as if coaxing a child: "Go to bed early, don't be so sleepy!" Tian is thinking wildly, I won’t let you take the blame today, but you can’t lose again when you play CQ.”
"… good."
Feng Can quietly moved a certain distance to Cheng Sunian's side, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction. (end of this chapter)
