"I'm the man who wants to be the world champion!"
Lu Xiaoan tapped the pen cap on the table, and said in a serious voice: "Watch less anime and read more. If you want to become a world champion man, you must beat Director Chen first."
The young man in front of him obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and said with high spirits: "Which team is Director Chen, how many points, what is he good at? I can solo with him, I am good at fourteen outstanding heroes!"
Lu Xiaoan made an elegant cross at the bottom of the name "Yu Shu" on her resume, and said in a rigid and official way: "OW e-sports will not accept minors."
He looked up at the interviewer, who obviously didn't even finish high school, and added: "Let's not talk about minors who skipped high school."
After the domestic e-sports industry is standardized, almost all talented professional e-sports players in high school skip a grade or end high school compulsory education early, while undergraduates are specially recruited to enter universities such as F University that have established e-sports majors for flexible professional education.
Therefore, only adults can enter this industry and become a career.
Yu Shu is only seventeen, and it has only been one month since his seventeenth birthday, and he has only been in the second year of high school for a week, yet he came to the OW e-sports club to apply for membership.
Lu Xiaoan felt that it was time to ask Du Lang how he got through the threshold. After all, he was so busy. He heard that there was a player with great potential. When he picked up his resume and looked at it, he didn't meet the age limit.
No wonder Du Lang said that he had to personally determine the special circumstances.
"Is age really that important? McGrath became a professional at the age of sixteen, and Yun Yun became the ST champion at the age of seventeen. They are also minors. How many future champions will be screened out by such rigid rules!" Yu Shu's tone It was a student who came out of the school, and Lu Xiaoan hadn't heard such an angry tone in every word for a long time.
"Champions never disappear just because they miss a year." Lu Xiaoan turned her head calmly and said, "You gave two good examples. First, McGrath became a professional player at the age of sixteen, and there are three tutors in his family , are associate professors of mathematics, economics, and classical literature. At the age of seventeen, McGrath had already obtained a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California. Second, Yun Yun retired and returned to school after winning the ST championship at the age of seventeen. After being silent for almost two years, he returned to the professional arena and finally became the champion of OW. Strictly speaking, when he became a professional player of OW, he was already an adult high school graduate, and the year before last, he had already obtained the major of F major e-sports Graduation certificate. Now, you are standing in the OW e-sports club, you have to apply for membership according to the age and education requirements of OW professional players stipulated by national laws, or you can directly look for teams and clubs that you like for sponsorship.”
OW e-sports is a government-led support committee for Overwatch professional players. When Overwatch became the world’s first online competitive game with a traditional competitive sports model, the government’s focus on supporting the e-sports industry has shifted to this area. field.
They set up an association that specializes in supervising, sponsoring, and discovering newcomers. As the leader of Overwatch’s agency in China, all matters related to the OW professional league must be applied and approved through this association to prevent professional leagues from being held in China. Violations have occurred.
Including accepting complaints and suggestions from professional players, e-sports clubs, and teams for the entire industry, and having an independent player support system to ensure that potential players and professional players will not be so embarrassing financially that they can't even meet the minimum wage standard.
And Lu Xiaoan is the decision-maker of the entire association. As the youngest leader, because of his experience of returning from gold-plated abroad and his usual vigorous and resolute personality who dared to challenge the high-level, even though the seniority and age of his subordinates were older than him, he did not refuse. Lu Xiaoan's.
Now, Lu Xiaoan puts a lot of work and communication with the International E-sports Association aside, and comes back specifically to investigate this... underage who Du Lang said has "potential, outstanding strength but a little problem".
Two years ago, OW raised the age threshold for professional players to 18 years old, and the country directly formulated rigid regulations to ensure that professional players complete nine years of compulsory education, gradually increase the average education level of professional players, and standardize the chaos of "studying is useless" in the entire industry. elephant.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a minor to enter the approval file of the OW e-sports club, no matter how much potential he has.
Lu Xiaoan looked at this young man, his face was full of unconvinced youthful aura. So, he said in a calm tone: "If you want to be... a world champion, you should finish high school first."
"I don't want to waste time learning things that don't make sense!"
"Knowledge is more important than you think." Lu Xiaoan disagrees with this kind of thinking that is full of resistance to compulsory education.
"I'm not the kind of person who is hot for three minutes. I'm willing to suffer any hardship for e-sports!" Yu Shu shouted loudly when he saw that Lu Xiaoan was walking out and didn't want to stay any longer.
Lu Xiaoan felt that it was difficult to communicate with such a minor. High school graduation and age were rigid rules, and no matter how hard he worked, he could not overcome this hurdle. However, Yu Shu is really a bit of a mess.
He actually followed Lu Xiaoan all the time, even if Lu Xiaoan closed the office door and opened it three hours later, he could still see this person squatting by the door and standing up.
What Lu Xiaoan wanted to know more was why no one had sent this guy back to school in the crowded OW e-sports club.
"Can you really suffer any hardship?" Lu Xiaoan asked, looking at the underage who was half a head shorter than him.
Yu Shu's gloomy eyes just lit up, and he shouted confidently: "Yes! I can!"
"Then finish high school." After speaking, Lu Xiaoan closed the door politely.
He took out his mobile phone and found the person who started the incident, "Duran, come to my office and send your slightly troublesome potential player back to school."
Du Lang's voice was troubled, and he said, "Brother Lu, why don't you just see if you can make an exception. Yu Shu really has potential and is a good seed. If you recommend him to the club, he must be fine."
Lu Xiaoan frowned and asked, "Your relative?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not!" Conscience of heaven and earth, Du Lang knew that Lu Xiaoan hated going through the back door the most, so he quickly denied it, "I have nothing to do with Yu Shu for three lifetimes!"
"Oh, so you were also squatted by him for three hours?"
"So fast?!" Du Lang was very surprised. It should be the time for Lu Xiaoan and Yu Shu to customize their solo. Unexpectedly, Yu Shu directly launched a squatting operation, "Brother Lu, Yu Shu is actually really good, even if he can't With the approval of the OW e-sports club, you can come forward and recommend it to the club, and Yu Shu can also receive private funding from the club."
"Why?"
"Because he has potential."
"In front of players with real potential, the head of the club is not blind."
Du Lang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Yu Shu is special...he ran away from home."
Even now that the e-sports industry is booming, professional players of non-championship teams can get corresponding salaries, but because of the short career of e-sports players, there are still countless people who do not agree with this industry.
In particular, the parents of some players strongly oppose their children's addiction to games and entering the e-sports industry, which is short-lived. reason.
For this reason, OW e-sports will have a team of special negotiators. As long as the club has this demand, they can persuade the parents of the players in terms of career planning and future development potential.
"Let the negotiator make a plan to talk about money and the future when you run away from home." Lu Xiaoan has seen too many cases, and no family would object to their children making the right choice.
"Brother Lu, Yu Shu's family...forget it, I'll come over and tell you."
Du Lang came very quickly, and the sooner he came, the more dissatisfied Lu Xiaoan was, which meant that Du Lang had been in the office building of the association, but indulged Yu Shu to pester him.
When Lu Xiaoan saw Du Lang, she threw that resume into his hand and said, "Get rid of it."
Du Lang only worked for half a year, so he couldn't make any big decisions, but he trusted Lu Xiaoan's decision very much.
Although this was not what he imagined "Lu Xiaoan was recommended by Yu Shu as an exception", but seeing Lu Xiaoan's expression, he was not particularly angry.
"Yu Shu, we'll take you home." Du Lang said rascally.
"You?" Yu Shu knew that Lu Xiaoan was the one who could decide whether he would stay or not, so he looked at Lu Xiaoan unswervingly.
And although the young president didn't explicitly agree, he didn't explicitly refuse either. He put all the debts on Durandu and planned to settle it later.
So, Du Lang said affirmatively: "Yes, President Lu and I."
Lu Xiaoan had never walked through such a remote building. He thought that in a place like City A, the old city was completely demolished and rebuilt four years ago. Among commercial buildings and winding back alleys.
Even, the sound of people living in this building can be heard from the corridor.
Du Lang knocked on the iron door on the sixth floor, and the door was covered with black and yellow rust. Lu Xiaoan felt that any shovel could break this iron plate that would shake with the palm of his hand.
Then, they saw Yu Shu's aunt.
Lu Xiaoan has only seen such a pungent housewife in movies and TV shows. Every word she uttered was greeted with physiological organs. This kind of harmless prophecy habit still made Lu Xiaoan frown.
This is not a target that a well-dressed negotiating team can deal with. It is probably more reliable to persuade such a woman to buy someone simply and rudely.
"Wait a minute." Listening to Du Lang's inappropriate communication with the woman, Lu Xiaoan finally spoke when Yu Shu was about to enter the door.
He said: "Ma'am, Yu Shu still has a salary of 3,000 yuan, and he will not be able to settle the bill until next week."
When it comes to money, women are always better off. She said: "Then what should I do, that is the money my nephew earned, and you must give it to me."
"He will work for us for another two days, and we will give it to him after finishing this month."
There is no such thing as "hiring child labor against the law", and without even asking who they are in detail, and not even caring whether Yu Shu went to school while working part-time to earn money, Lu Xiaoan exchanged this minor who was said to have potential.
"Don't be so sad." Lu Xiao'an felt that Yu Shu's family was impoverished, and what was even more incredible was that he had the potential to be a pioneer.
This is not a roadside arcade free game, there is a fee threshold for entry and a high-configuration computer, it is impossible for Yu Shu to have the opportunity to get in touch with this game.
He took off his coat, considered how to speak, and asked after a moment of pondering, "How do you usually play Overwatch?"
Lu Xiaoan is still only suitable for straight balls.
"I do odd jobs in an Internet cafe, and I don't need salary. There are no customers in the early morning, so I just play the boss's account." Speaking of Overwatch, Yu Shu's eyes lit up, "I am very good at Overwatch, and I help many people in the Internet cafe to play for me." High score."
Hitting is illegal.
Lu Xiaoan said, "Did you take the money?"
"Of course I accept it." What Yu Shu is most proud of is that he can earn money with his own strength, even if it is not much, and occasionally he has bad luck for two or three days, so he still feels extremely proud.
That's why he wanted to become a professional gamer. He knew about the prize money of the top Overwatch world champion, the astronomical sum, which was more attractive than the treasures of One Piece he had seen.
Lu Xiaoan took a deep breath. Yu Shu obviously didn't realize how vile the nature of proxy play is. After the new regulations, professional players will be warned and deducted points if they do proxy play. The points will directly affect the evaluation standards and participation in the Overwatch International Professional League. qualifications.
He said: "It will not be done again in the future."
Yu Shu didn't know how much power Lu Xiaoan could have. He only knew that this man could decide whether he could become a professional in the future. However, Lu Xiaoan cut off his most profitable means of making a living from the very beginning. Yu Shu was obviously a little sad, but still lowered his eyes and nodded.
Seeing how frustrated he was, Lu Xiaoan said, "Have a plate?"
Even though Lu Xiaoan is no longer a professional player, his enthusiasm for Overwatch has never retreated. He personally configured the computer in the office, and the extra laptop has poor heat dissipation. At least it is no problem to play while on a business trip.
Being able to play games, all the previous embarrassment and frustration disappeared completely. Of course Yu Shu knew the gap between laptops and desktops, but he honestly left the choice to the boss.
Lu Xiaoan also wanted to see how strong Yu Shu was.
FPS gaming is affected by many factors, such as monitors, computer hosts, mice, keyboards, even seemingly insignificant mouse pads, changing to an unfamiliar model will affect the performance of professional players.
But Yu Shu started the challenge confidently within 20 minutes after opening the training range and practicing guns.
They played 1v1, starting directly from the assault hero.
Yu Shu is very good. Without systematic training, he can make shots based on feeling, but his ability to adapt to unfamiliar equipment is beyond imagination. Lu Xiaoan preliminarily estimates that if he has a team with equal strength, he can at least win the top eight in the offline competition. .
This is no longer an era when troubled times are kings. Every domestic professional team in the field of Overwatch is a strong team that is difficult to beat. The weak teams have long since disappeared in the tide of history.
The domestic top eight is already an excellent strength worthy of bragging for most clubs.
Lu Xiaoan suddenly understood why Du Lang, who was so afraid of trouble, would call him here because of this person.
"Yu Shu, do you have a favorite professional player?" Lu Xiaoan felt that it seemed a pity to give up Yu Shu for the sake of education and age.
Yu Shu, who just defeated Lu Xiaoan effortlessly, was very excited. He rarely had the opportunity to enjoy the charm of 1v1 alone in a quiet room without interference. He shouted excitedly: "McGrath! Yun Yun! Two world champions! I To be like them, I want to be a world champion man!"
Lu Xiaoan ignored the stupid declaration and asked, "Then do you want to join Are Men?"
Now Are Men has changed from a simple team to a club. The entire base has been expanded and has three teams, forming a group management. The biggest boss, Kang Ming, accepts capital injection from UW Group and is fully responsible for the club's development. Because his brother is also the president, he is willing to downgrade himself to Director Chen to show his distinction. However, he is still the person with the most say in the AM club.
AM has four professional players who have entered the star player pool of the professional league, among them is DL-Yun Yun who has won the MVP of the professional league for three consecutive times.
Even if he has the right to choose first, DL will always be a professional player belonging to Are Men. The relationship between him and Kang Ming has been a firm friend for many years, which is stronger than any relationship of interest. Waiting to see if it will become the number one club in the world in the future.
Of course, Lu Xiaoan felt that Kang Ming was still... clingy as before.
"I remember only dating Yun Yun." He said.
"I also remember that Yun Yun only made an appointment with you." Kang Ming pointedly raised his chin and motioned to the side, "Where did you find this fanboy?"
He was very upset that Yun Yun was too close to anyone, not to mention that when he saw Yun Yun, he had a look of admiration, counting the battle situation, and was not reserved at all.
Then, the two heatedly discussed the cooperation between the new hero and the old hero, separating a space where no one could interrupt.
"Yu Shu, seventeen, is good at assault. He needs a sponsor."
"Minors should study hard." Kang Ming used to be an advocate of the theory that reading is useless. After learning various languages by himself and re-learning economic principles in college, he immediately changed his mind and regretted that he lost the exam after finishing the exam.
Lu Xiaoan said: "He can study while substituting in AM."
"Tell me the reason?" Kang Ming is not a philanthropist. There are countless players who want to enter AM even if they are only as a substitute. The domestic first-class base environment, generous and superior salary, world champion celebrity effect, and a considerate boss are not so easy. Let someone come in as a substitute.
"His fourteen kinds of assault heroes can defeat me without any pressure."
Kang Ming's eyes felt that Lu Xiaoan was lying. Even though the chairman had been away from the professional circle for many years, there were many chances of soloing, forming a team, and colliding with a top player like Yun Yun. Even Yun Yun said that Lu Xiaoan would return to the team , maybe it is no different from the state of playing professional in the past.
Now, this minor who didn't finish high school can actually beat this old friend.
And, no pressure.
Yun Yun found this very interesting.
"The three teams just need a substitute." After the 1v1 with Yu Shu, Yun Yun said: "Yu Shu can get used to the life of the team while studying. After graduating from high school, he can officially become a professional player."
Kang Ming looked unhappy, "I don't seem to agree."
Lu Xiao'an smiled and said, "Director Chen, when did you object to Yun Yun's decision?"
"That's me, Yun Zhiming." Kang Ming walked over and put his arm around Yun Yun's shoulder and forcibly dragged him away. "It's time to eat. If you have anything to say, talk slowly later."
"...Director Chen?" Yu Shu realized later and looked at Lu Xiao'an in confusion. Lu Xiaoan and Yu Shu followed slowly two or three steps behind. Lu Xiaoan didn't want to listen to Kang Ming's crooked love words, and Yu Shu simply followed Lu Xiaoan's orders.
Lu Xiaoan said: "The man you want to become the world champion... must first defeat the man he is now."
"No, I'm not... ah!"
Yu Shu looked at the backs of the two brothers, one was the MVP who led the team to three world championships, and the other was Bole who had been together for many years. Those years of rumors were mixed together, and he suddenly opened the door to a new world.
Yu Shu blushed and explained: "I don't! I just want to be the world champion, the world champion!"
"Okay." Lu Xiaoan patted him on the shoulder, "I know."
After all, this is the dream that all professional e-sports players strive for.
He said: "After dinner, let's go to see if there are any daily necessities that need to be bought. The base provides basic professional things such as computers. If you have a particularly favorite equipment, think about it and buy it at once. The base is far away. , It’s very troublesome to go back and forth.”
Yu Shu's eyes were filled with astonishment, and he said, "But I don't have that much money."
"Ask for an advance payment from Director Chen, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future." Lu Xiaoan knew Are Men's internal regulations, and said it calmly, "From today onwards, you will be the substitute for the third team of Are Men."
