The headquarters building of the Huaguo Gun King E-sports League, conference room.
Yu Mingxiang put away his phone and looked back at Alpha next to him, his eyes full of joy: "President Qi, he agreed!"
Qi Heng laughed heartily: "I guessed he would agree! He has been following "Gun King" for the past few years, and there are still people in China who he can't worry about. You play the emotional card well. As long as he comes back, everything will be fine. All right."
Yu Mingxiang frowned, and said with some concern: "However, the conditions proposed by Ayu require the absolute right to speak to the coach, regardless of the selection method of the national team or the arrangement of the starters and substitutes, he has the final say. . Can the above agree? The interest disputes involved are not small, right?"
There was a hint of coldness in Qi Heng's eyes: "I will find a way to do this. The national team has too many problems, and it's time to take care of it. Last time, sponsors poured money into the team to let star players join the team. What? The game was so sloppy, it was a fucking shame."
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
The person Qi Heng said "spending money into the team" is Mo Hantian, the main sniper of the previous national team, the winner of the best newcomer award in the domestic A-League, and the registered ID of the professional league is "Devil", which means "Devil" in English. It is the "Demon King", and fans also call him the "Sniper Demon King".
Mo Hantian is an Alpha, only 18 years old, handsome in appearance, has tens of millions of Weibo fans, and has countless gold master fathers behind him, and the club is willing to pay high prices to package him. After the league received a huge amount of sponsorship, it said, "We want to establish a good image of e-sports players", so he made him the "Gun King Image Ambassador" and shot a lot of advertisements.
Mo Hantian is in the limelight for a while, his posters are everywhere in the streets, and he is more popular than top stars. As a result, the World Series was smashed. It's not that his skills are not good, but his mentality is too bad. He is held by fans every day and floats away. He thought he was so good. After losing two games, his mentality collapsed.
The Huaguo team struggled in the world group stage because the sniping point has been unable to hold.
Of course, in the end it was Coach Zhang's fault.
Coach Zhang is also very difficult, unable to control these players at all, and can only be scolded by netizens to resign and apologize.
Most of the e-sports players are young and energetic, especially those star players with tens of millions of fans, and there are countless comments and likes for any daily news. After being touted for a long time, the mentality will inevitably float, and even forget the original intention of playing e-sports.
If you want to keep this group of people down, you need a strong coach.
The coaches in the previous sessions were too mild-tempered, and many coaches themselves were not very good at e-sports. Some professional players didn’t say it, but they thought: You are so bad at the game, why guide me
Hiring a foreign teacher, the language barrier, the high salary, and the good grades are all due to the foreign teacher, and they are also ridiculed by foreign media.
After a private discussion between Qi Heng and Yu Mingxiang, they thought of Jiang Shaoyu, the captain and coach who personally brought out the strongest dark horse team in the history of the league. His name is still engraved on the professional league honor wall: ACE-Wing.
He left the e-sports circle for 5 years, still has a great influence, and is the idol of countless old players.
Although he has retired for many years, judging from his international server rank, his game level is even higher than some domestic professional players. Having him as a coach is enough to convince these professional players.
The only worry is that he does not have any club background, and the ACE team that year was also a grassroots team. The position of national team coach involves too many entanglements of interests, and it will be difficult to hire out of the blue.
Yu Mingxiang first called to get Jiang Shaoyu's approval, and the rest would be left to Qi Heng to operate.
Thinking of the past when Jiang Shaoyu led ACE to win the championship, Yu Mingxiang took a deep breath and said confidently: "I have a hunch that if Ayu is the coach of the national team, the next national team will likely become a dark horse in the World Series. !"
Qi Heng said with a smile: "I think so too. Don't worry, I will find a way to solve the next difficulties. It really doesn't work, ask my old friend to come forward as a sponsor, and we will have more right to speak."
China time is approaching early morning.
The two discussed the next plan and left the alliance headquarters one after the other.
When passing by the Wall of Honor on the first floor, Qi Heng saw the photos posted on the wall 5 years ago.
The boy in the photo has cold brows and eyes, holding the trophy with a stiff expression, as if he doesn't like being surrounded by people and taking pictures.
Qi Heng sighed lightly—Jiang Shaoyu was once his strongest opponent.
When ACE and BM met in the finals, the finals were extremely fierce. In the crucial tiebreaker, the teammates died, leaving only the sniper on both sides.
The two of them switched bunkers all the way, moved quickly, and carefully searched for each other's positions. The streets and alleys with complex terrain are full of obstacles, and if you are not careful, you will be shot by the opponent. In the end, the two found an opportunity at the same time, but Qi Heng shot 0.1 seconds slower than Jiang Shaoyu, and Jiang Shaoyu shot him in the head.
Qi Heng has always been brooding about this, and still wants to play back next season.
As a result, Jiang Shaoyu retired.
Between them, there is no way to tell the winner.
Jiang Shaoyu was only 18 years old at the time, and Qi Heng was already a 21-year-old veteran. He retired soon after, went to work at the league headquarters, and slowly climbed to the current position of vice chairman. His authority in the league is limited, but he is also the only high-level league executive who came from an e-sports player, and he can still speak.
After Jiang Shaoyu left, the gun king began to hold the World Championship.
In recent years, the domestic A League in China has been very lively, and there have been many talented rookies, but the performance of the national team in the World Championships every year is not satisfactory.
Qi Heng wanted to change this chaotic situation.
Jiang Shaoyu is a dangerous move.
Unbreakable. I hope his return can completely break the current deadlock.
Qi Heng looked up at the photos on the wall of honor, and said in a low voice, "I believe that you will be able to create miracles again, and it's not in vain that I have always regarded you as the strongest opponent. What do you think?"
…
California, USA.
The snow on the street had not completely melted, Jiang Shaoyu's car drove very slowly, and it was 11:00 noon when he got home. As soon as he opened the door, a cute brown puppy rushed towards him affectionately.
This puppy was adopted the year Jiang Shaoyu came to California. A brown teddy dog, like a curly rag doll, wagging his tail behind his butt every day, very cute and sticky, its eyes are like two black peas, Jiang Shaoyu gave it a name It's called Jiang Doudou.
He came to California for five years, and Doudou grew up with him, and now he is just 5 years old.
Jiang Shaoyu picked up Doudou, touched its head, and went to feed it a bowl of food.
His uncle worked in California. After Jiang Shaoyu retired, he went to California to join his uncle at the arrangement of his father. In the past few years, he has been living in his uncle's idle house, going to the hospital to see a doctor regularly every week, playing games, walking the dog, and living a leisurely life.
If it wasn't for Yu Mingxiang's sudden call to find him, his original plan was to take Doudou in the RV for a trip when the weather was better.
Now it seems that travel plans are on hold for now.
He has to sort out the affairs here as soon as possible and bring Doudou back to China.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyu first called his uncle to explain the situation, and then called Doctor Zhou.
Zhou Yang asked with concern: "What's the matter, A Yu?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Dr. Zhou, I want to visit the hospital again tomorrow. Please prescribe more inhibitors for me. I need a year's dose, which can be checked and brought back to China."
The Omega inhibitor he is currently using is a short-acting injection, one injection per day, each injection has a capacity of only 1 ml, which is much more effective than the common once-a-year injections on the market. The syringe is specially made by the manufacturer, the needle is very thin, and the intramuscular injection is also very convenient to operate.
This was developed by the expert group that treated him based on his pheromone, which other hospitals cannot buy. So he plans to take a whole year's supply of medicines back at one time and ship them back home by plane.
Zhou Yang was very surprised when he heard it: "Returning to China? Why do you suddenly want to return to China?"
"Some things have to be dealt with." Jiang Shaoyu asked, "Is there any stock of the inhibitor I use in the hospital?"
"Yes, a batch was delivered just last month." Zhou Yang paused and said, "I can't stop you if you want to return to China. However, you'd better find a pheromone expert in China to Bring the medical records back to him and review them regularly in the future."
"I know. I have a familiar doctor in China." Jiang Shaoyu was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Doctor Zhou, thank you for your care these past few years."
"You're welcome." Zhou Yang said with a smile, "Come to the hospital tomorrow afternoon to find me. I will take your inhibitor out of the pharmacy in advance. If you need any help, just tell me."
"Okay, then I'll come to the hospital at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to get medicine."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shaoyu sat in front of the computer and opened the web page to book a flight back to China next week. Then turn around and go to the kitchen to cook.
What he eats at noon every day is very simple, boil some noodles, beat a poached egg, and serve with a few green vegetables. The recent side effects of the inhibitor made his stomach very fragile, and he couldn't digest it after eating too much.
Jiang Shaoyu quickly cooked the noodles and sat at the table to eat slowly. Doudou accompanied him by his side, digging into the meat and bones in the bowl.
The simple life of one person and one dog has passed for five years.
Unfortunately, this peaceful life was eventually broken.
Jiang Shaoyu looked at Doudou and said warmly, "Don't worry, I won't leave you, and I'll take you back to China next week. There may be many people living with us in the future, you have to be good, don't jump up and down to demolish the national team base."
Doudou didn't know whether he understood or not, so he called "Wang Wang" twice.
Jiang Shaoyu has a cold temperament and is indifferent to others. Only when he treats his own puppy, he will show some tenderness. The puppy is also very close to him, presumably seeing him as a dad
Jiang Shaoyu raised the corner of his mouth, rubbed the puppy's head lightly, quickly cleaned up the dining table, returned to the computer, opened the official website of Gun King, found "Huaguo District Server" and clicked to download.
Since he wants to return to China to be a coach, he must first understand the current game environment and popular play styles in Huaguo.
In the past few years, he has been playing in the international server, the game interface is all in English, and he hasn't logged in to the Huaguo region server for a long time. At this time, looking at the Chinese prompt on the download interface, I feel more cordial.
There are dozens of G in the game, Jiang Shaoyu let the computer download it automatically, turned around and went to the bedroom to pack up. By the time he packed up what he was going to bring back home and came to the computer, the game had already been updated.
Jiang Shaoyu recalled those trumpets that he used in the national server, and remembered that one of the trumpets was registered by mailbox. He entered the account password, and he successfully boarded the first area of the national server.
The screen in front of me flashed, and a blue system prompt box with a sense of technology popped up—
"Welcome, [casually] back to the battlefield! It's been 1,815 days since you left here. The mercenary army has issued you a return benefit, please check your mailbox!"
