London, England.
Zone e-sports pinnacle top event - the scene of the GDL World Finals.
The venue with tens of thousands of people was unprecedentedly grand, dazzling lights were projected on the venue, and the shouts and cheers ignited the audience.
Five people wearing uniforms stepped onto the podium, and thousands of e-sports players couldn't help shouting crazily, echoing deafeningly over the arena for a long time.
The five people on the podium raised the trophy high, and finally evoked an arc of glory and joy under the spotlight.
The first global e-sports gold medal in the history of domestic competition was won by the Black Rose team on this night.
…
Such a scene was circling in Lin Xiao's mind over and over again, he squinted his eyes, threw the phone to the side of the bed with a "snap", and immediately rubbed his whole body into the bedding.
The light on the phone screen was still on, and the words on the report could be clearly seen—Old Ghost, the captain of the Black Rose team, won the first domestic e-sports championship trophy in the UK, but unfortunately encountered a car accident on the way to the airport, and was declared dead after rescue efforts failed.
Report time, five years ago.
Lin Xiao turned over and couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his broken hair.
— If the old ghost, the captain of the Black Rose team, died five years ago, then who is he
It has been many days since he woke up, and a strange memory always pops up in his mind from time to time, which makes him still a bit unable to accept his new identity.
The original owner of this body was an avid e-sports fan. It's a pity that without outstanding e-sports talent, he can only be an ordinary player in the game "Zone", investing all his savings in the crazy pursuit of stars and the collection of peripheral products.
In the last memory, he was kicked out of the venue by someone sent by the party because he publicly showed his love to a god-level all-star player at a fan meeting. Frustrated by his confession and rejected by his idol, after returning home, he chose to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills.
This man's name is also "Lin Xiao", and he has the same name and the same short life as him, but looking back at the whole process, it is simply a world of difference.
However, because of the deity's death, he inexplicably occupied this body.
After a few days of recollection and understanding, Lin Xiao has clearly discovered that in this world five years later, the serious environment of the e-sports league has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the past. The time when e-sports players lived in the utility room and ate instant noodles has become a dusty history. Today's professional players are all the darlings of the club, whether it is from league matches, personal packaging, or various advertising endorsements. Even comparable to popular movie stars.
For Lin Xiao, who has survived the sluggish era of e-sports, this is undoubtedly a dream environment. Just thinking about it, he can't help but feel a little excited.
Although the original owner has almost squandered all his belongings, he still has some food money left. As long as he can return to the league before his credit cards are all overdrawn, and successfully find a club to sign, the life problems he will face will be solved naturally.
He fumbled for a piece of clothing from the side and put it on, and walked around the room.
Obviously there is not a big single apartment, most of the space is occupied by these figures, and there is a small space left for a computer desk with a desktop computer on it.
Even if he is a good-for-nothing nerd, at least he still has the "job hunting" tools he needs now.
Lin Xiao crossed his legs and sat down in front of the computer, casually clicked on the browser on the desktop, entered Zone's official website and started browsing.
After five years, Zone has already updated many versions. It took him two days to briefly understand the adjustments and changes of the game content data over the years. On the third day, he finally opened the game login interface slowly.
That old ghost's account must be unusable. Lin Xiao thought about it, and finally decided to use the ghost Taoist character he used before entering the professional league, ID: Guimengmeng. Due to not logging in for too long, the character who was originally on the second level of the ladder has now dropped to the tenth level, with a competitive score of 800 points, which is 200 points lower than the default 1000 points for new players.
In the past two days, Lin Xiao had already drawn up a plan. In this era when the e-sports industry is in full swing, young people who want to enter the club's novice training camp are almost overwhelmed. If you don't have two brushes, people will definitely not give you a glance. Just like when he was tapped into the professional circle back then, what he needs to do now is to climb up the ladder as soon as possible.
At that time, as long as he can brush back to the second level, he is not afraid of not attracting the attention of those clubs that hunt newcomers everywhere.
The game hall is full of group members shouting from various groups. Obviously, during the five years, the development team has added a lot of new dungeon maps, and at the same time, there are more equipment with various new attributes that need to be collected and cultivated.
According to the understanding of the previous two days, the matching and combination of these equipments is more diverse than in the past, and the operability and strategicity have been greatly improved. This made his old antique ship's equipment warehouse feel extremely shabby and poor at a glance.
However, as far as Zone is a game that aims to accumulate various equipment, the collection and cultivation of new equipment cannot be completed overnight, not to mention the need to screen according to the attributes of the equipment, just which direction to choose for each new equipment It is enough to cultivate it, and it takes a lot of thought.
Lin Xiao decided to ignore the dungeon equipment upgrade, left the hall with a click of the mouse, and switched to the competition interface.
To get familiar with the current fighting style of the game faster, it is undoubtedly the best choice to directly play two ladders to experience the adjustment of skills.
He adjusted a few convenient shortcut key settings, then pressed the ready button and entered the queue.
At the same time, in the live broadcast room of a certain platform, some people started queuing up for matching almost at the same time.
…
In Room 1001 of the GY live broadcast platform, the number of viewers has reached 400,000. The well-known funny anchor Little Monkey King is actively interacting with the barrage: "I am very glad that everyone came to watch the Monkey King lecture on time. Today, I will give you a demonstration Summoner is a profession. In order to allow everyone to appreciate the essence of this profession better, Monkey Lord condescended to set up a ten-stage trumpet to give you a detailed and accurate skill analysis."
The barrage on the screen suddenly opened—
"Honey Master is shameless to abuse newcomers!"
"If you can't beat the high ranks, take the tenth rank and start brushing, it's embarrassing."
"Today's blood abuse target is too low-end, bad review, refund!"
…
The Little Monkey King watched them swiping the screen in a good mood, and confirmed the window prompt for entering the room. During the preparation stage, Slow Youyou and the opponent BAN dropped two duel maps, so he dug out a few summoner's common collocation equipment from the equipment inventory and put them on. After the final confirmation, he said shyly, "Seeing everyone's enthusiasm every day, Monkey Lord will definitely bring 100 drops of blood to make everyone enjoy themselves today."
There was booing all over the public screen.
While the two sides were teasing each other, the game was over, and the characters on both sides entered their own resurrection points.
The two corners of the screen displayed the heads of the two sides in the battle.
Little Monkey Lord casually pointed out the opponent's full body shape, and habitually made a series of unscrupulous complaints about the opponent's appearance: "As you can see, the ghost priest on the opposite side has the character shape of a young gentleman, and he is still dressed in black. He is dressed like a little crow. When I went, I actually brought a little red riding hood and red boots? Did he think he was cosplaying Little Red Riding Hood? His name was... oh, 'Ghost Mengmeng', and It’s really appropriate, it’s really cute, and the operator is probably a cute guy himself.”
While interacting with the audience, Little Monkey King couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
He has been in contact with the game Zone for a long time, and because of his personal hobbies, he has always paid more attention to the official fashion styles. And the outfit in front of me now is obviously the limited edition of Little Red Riding Hood that was released seven years ago, and it was only sold for a short month at that time, and it is no longer available in the mall now.
Could it be that the opponent is still an old player
Little Monkey Lord was shocked by his own thoughts.
— After playing for more than seven years, you are still stuck at the tenth level? How bad is the talent in this game to do it!
Some old players and viewers in the live broadcast room have also discovered this, and they swiped on the screen to boo. Little Monkey Lord was amused by their lively atmosphere, and deliberately typed and joked on the public channel: "Hey, is the brother on the other side an old player? It's not easy to climb the ladder to score points. Can I put some water for you?"
Almost as soon as I sent it, I received a reply from the other side, five words: "Don't think too much."
When he saw these words, his heart skipped a beat.
The person on the opposite side is so fast...
At this time, tens of thousands of black fans and true fans who saw Little Monkey King being slapped in the face immediately swiped on the screen again—
"Hou Yeh has been discriminated against, and he is in a trance!"
"Little Monkey Lord, can you do it, even the tenth ranks look down on you!"
"Love me monkey, don't think too much."
"Don't think too much +1"
"Don't think too much +2"
"Don't think too much +10086"
…
Judging from the speed of typing just now, the player on the opposite side is probably not a rookie, but more like the trumpet of a certain master.
In today's live broadcast for the first time, I encountered such an unidentified hidden master, and for no reason, Little Monkey Lord had a sour feeling of being a dog. However, in front of hundreds of thousands of people, he has already blown away the bullshit, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes across the screen, he has to save face even with tears in his eyes!
After all, he is also a master of the second level of the ladder. As long as he is not a professional player or a passerby king at the top of the food chain, ordinary passerby masters don't take it very seriously. So with a dark face, he silently erased the "You're welcome" that had been entered into the dialog box, typed three words again and sent it out: "You wait!"
On the other side of the screen, Lin Xiao looked at the words on the public screen, and touched his chin in a daze.
—Could it be that even low-level players have become so rampant now? By the way, when was the last time someone said these three words to him? It's been so long, I can't seem to remember.
