Saturday, final day.
The twelve participating teams were screened in the promotion competition, and then ranked according to the number of kills and average damage in the field. In the end, only four teams successfully won the final places, namely the SVG, MW, OPW and AC loft teams.
Not to mention veteran-level professional players in these four teams, even the rookie team has a lot of popular and hotly discussed new stars. Therefore, the ticket prices for the finals were sky-high. Apart from the gathering of fans, there were also many scalpers outside the arena, which was comparable to the concert of a popular traffic star.
The commercial vehicle of the SVG team stopped, and everyone changed into team uniforms. Li Zhongchen was the first to pull the door and leave. In the dark underground parking lot, he was no longer seen.
The low air pressure just now made the newcomers feel depressed. Seeing him leave first, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zheng Xiaokui kept her mouth pouted and said nothing, which was in stark contrast to her who was usually lively and frisky.
Yao Tong quickly caught up with Li Zhongchen, ignoring the aura surrounding him that no strangers should enter: "Zheng Xiaokui is usually quite obedient, and both of us have noticed the progress these days, maybe what Sugi said was really hurtful." Otherwise, the little girl wouldn't be so stubborn, so why bother about it."
Li Zhongchen looked sideways: "Bitting is still reasonable? Can someone bite casually with a professional hand?"
"... Alas," Yao Tong sighed deeply, "Isn't it because your little apprentice doesn't know that he is also a professional player?"
Having said that, when Yao Tong, who was eating supper that day, was called by Li Zhongchen, he knew that the fire could not be covered with paper.
The three of them had a late-night meeting that night, and Li Zhongchen was so angry that his liver hurt.
The time goes back to the day when the new team photo was taken.
The photography studio is in Minhang District, a six-storey duplex studio, near the subway exit of Qixin Road Station, and a 15-minute drive from their base. The transportation is convenient, and the photography team is also experienced and reliable. It has always been the first choice for SVG clubs when they have photography needs. Cooperation preferred.
It is common for other clubs to choose this club.
It's just that I didn't expect the shooting time of MW to follow closely, otherwise this oolong might have been avoided.
The workload of the photography team was too heavy that day, and the SVG rookie team should have been filmed at noon, but it was dragged until 2 pm, and Yao Tong was able to lead everyone to lunch.
"Captain, I won't go. Anyway, I'm not hungry and just ordered milk tea." Zheng Xiaokui was very interested in the studio, "I want to take a stroll here, and this is the first time I have come to such a big studio. , I’ll go gather with you when you’re full, shall I?”
"... I really don't understand your little girl's brain circuit," Yao Tong looked at her worriedly, "Can you stay here alone?"
Zheng Xiaokui grinned: "It's okay, I'll be on the third floor to see the filming scenes of those internet celebrity sisters, and I won't run around."
Now that she said so, Yao Tong thought that he didn't take his daughter out of the street, and the business was done, so he couldn't just tie his trousers on his waistband.
Besides, the studio is not a miscellaneous place. After telling Zheng Xiaokui, the rest of the people set off to settle their food and clothing.
later.
Zheng Xiaokui did watch the shooting of Internet celebrities for a while, but she got bored after a while. She ran to the rest area to fiddle with her mobile phone, sat down with a ton of milk tea, and began to think hard: "... why does Master think that my morning dress is not suitable for me? I am clearly in the beep station I have studied the makeup for a long time, if I look like that today, it should be similar to the effects of these beautiful sisters, the master is really old."
Just thinking about this, she raised her eyes and saw a handsome young man sitting across two tables.
The young man was about the same age as himself, wearing a white polo shirt, which looked similar to the overalls of the team here. Zheng Xiaokui was blind and short-sighted, so he immediately mistook him for an assistant brother in the studio.
She has always been enthusiastic and proactive, and loves to make friends. The two of them were sitting in the rest area around, so she took the initiative to change seats to strike up a conversation with someone: "Little brother, don't you want to go to lunch? Are you finally able to rest after work?" Come on, you have worked so hard."
"..." Su Ruiqi raised his eyes upon hearing this, "Is there something wrong?"
Zheng Xiaokui didn't hear the alienation in the other party's tone: "It's okay, can I ask you a question?"
Su Ruiqi: "... what?"
To be honest, Su Ruiqi was a little dazed when he was approached by the assault girl of the SVG rookie team.
Unfortunately, the shooting time was postponed again, and his teammates simply went to eat first, but he left after eating at Qiao Yan's. He was not hungry, so he wanted to stay in this area and wait for others to come back. Before taking his seat, he noticed Zheng Xiaokui not far away.
After all, seeing the opponent play with his own eyes, and being the apprentice of his idol Echo, he was inevitably impressed, and even a little sour.
"Little brother, what do you think of the makeup on my face?" After finishing speaking, she handed the phone in front of Su Ruiqi, "Compared with this, do I prefer light makeup or heavy makeup? In fact, it seems that heavy makeup is better for the camera. I don't know too well, so I want to ask your staff here."
Su Ruiqi's face turned blue: "..."
Is she insulting me on purpose? You actually said that I am a staff member here
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zheng Xiaokui was not discouraged: "Ah, maybe I should ask a young lady to ask. Maybe you boys don't pay much attention to these things. By the way, when you are old, you will come out to work."
Su Ruiqi replied in a muffled voice, "Seventeen."
He thought to himself that if you insist on pretending, then I will act with you.
"What a coincidence! But you're not yet an adult, will someone let you come to work?" Zheng Xiaokui said, "I'm going to be seventeen soon, so it's a bit sad that I can't spend my birthday with family and friends this year..."
"Why?"
"Because I want to become an invincible e-sports player one day, so this birthday is spent in the youth training team, so I can't go home."
"You are from SVG, right?"
Zheng Xiaokui stared at him quite unexpectedly, and asked, "You follow our team too?"
Su Ruiqi thought to himself, can I not pay attention.
I have studied the valuable game videos of your team countless times, and Zhong Shen is the opportunity for me to choose this path, he is my ultimate goal.
"Well, I like Zhongshen. The number one striker in the national server is not just blown out. I have watched every game he plays. It is very exciting."
"Yes! Master, he is super powerful!"
"Oh?" Su Ruiqi said deliberately, "You are Zhong Shen's apprentice Zheng Xiaokui?"
Zheng Xiaokui was flattered: "You, you actually know me!"
"know."
"Are you also present at last week's rookie competition?"
Su Ruiqi was silent to himself, thinking how SVG recruited such a silly Baitian, even if he didn't play the game very well, he was still his idol's apprentice, it was really incomprehensible.
"I'm indeed on the scene," he said unhappily, "you're an assaulter, right?"
"Yeah, the girl who hit the smoke that day."
Su Ruiqi was not polite: "You play pretty badly."
"..." The smile on Zheng Xiaokui's face froze, and he faltered, "You, what did you say?"
"You only deal 2,300 damage in the entire game when you play the assault position. What other team contribution do you have besides killing a few people?" Obviously you can block the enemy's position, but you let your teammates fight with you?"
Zheng Xiaokui's face turned red, and she tried to explain: "I'm a little nervous because it's my first match, but I cooperated well with No. 1..."
"The cooperation is good, right? Isn't No. 1 dragging you away like a plane?" Su Ruiqi continued, "Obviously you have better tactics, but you have problems with your mentality and style of play. When you meet a stronger team Are you sure you can still win?"
Perhaps it was also caused by jealousy, Su Ruiqi didn't think too much about it, he spoke straight, and even thought he was analyzing mistakes for the other party.
So much so that when the last sentence "Zhong Shen should be a different person as an apprentice" was said, Zheng Xiaokui was completely angered, and the other party left rationally, and only then did the follow-up crazy-operate.
—The two began to argue fiercely, and finally Zheng Xiaokui said that he could not beat Su Ruiqi, and bit his hand in a rage.
Not to mention Li Zhongchen, Yao Tong also had a headache and was speechless when he recalled these things, but he still chose to speak for his family: "Isn't Xiaokui face-blind and didn't recognize that it was Sugi? Besides, what the kid said was too much. I'm really sorry." I thought he was a polite young man in the new era, but he can even scold our lovely little sister Xiaokui."
Get out of the elevator. Under the guidance of the staff, a group of people walked along the corridor to the SVG lounge.
The new lounge is arranged in the one closest to the MW team—
Li Zhongchen was conflicted in his heart, turned his head and glanced at Zheng Xiaokui, and saw Zheng Xiaokui walking at the end of the crowd, with his head down all the time: "..."
He told everyone to go into the waiting room with Team Yao first.
Then he called Zheng Xiaokui to stop, like an eagle carrying a chick, and led him to the side of the aisle.
Zheng Xiaokui followed him, stopped, and kept staring at her dirty little white shoes.
Li Zhongchen said, "Zheng Xiaokui, you've been like this for two consecutive days. The game against AC Loft in the morning doesn't require a double assault, so if you have to compete in the finals in the afternoon? Are you also playing with this attitude?"
"..." Zheng Xiaokui burst into tears, "Master, I know I was wrong."
The little girl cried, but Li Zhongchen's principle remained the same: "Wipe away the tears first, Sugi was bitten by you, if it affects the performance of the game, maybe I want to cry more than you."
"Yeah." Zheng Xiaokui listened to him, wiped away tears with her elbow, then looked up at him, her red eyes were very obvious.
"Because he said you didn't behave well and you got angry? Why didn't I think that I misunderstood him as a handyman, and he wouldn't be angry?" Li Zhongchen looked down at her, and his attitude eased, "It's thanks to you that you didn't make a big fuss now. The result of the treatment of the idol Qiao God, in fact, you two are wrong, do you know?"
"I know… "
"Just know it, and adjust your mentality."
But Zheng Xiaokui had tears in his eyes, and shook his head vigorously: "But he said that I am not worthy to be your master and your apprentice. I know that playing games is the original sin. At first I thought I should not be as miserable as he said, but after thinking for a long time, I I'm also afraid that what he said is right..."
"I am very lucky to be your apprentice, Master, and I have learned a lot. Compared with others, I have taken a shortcut, but I am afraid that even Master, you will think that I am not worthy. Afraid of this."
Zheng Xiaokui's words hit his heart, making Li Zhongchen completely unexpected.
He thought that the little girl's self-esteem was hurt, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, who has just stepped out of school and entered the society, will inevitably have an impact on her mentality, whether she is angry or too pessimistic, in fact, he can understand.
But Li Zhongchen never expected that the little girl lost confidence and courage because of herself.
"Zheng Xiaokui, why aren't you worthy of being my apprentice?" Li Zhongchen said to her with a rare smile, "You can't bear a few words from others and doubt your own ability. Is this the you I know?"
Zheng Xiaokui blinked her crystal eyes, and heard Li Zhongchen say again: "Believe in yourself is very important. Back then, you were full of confidence analyzing the video, and you were full of fighting spirit when you talked about your Qiao God. Are you working hard now? Attitude and self-confidence are both The key factor for me to choose you is that no one but me is qualified to say that you are not worthy of being my apprentice."
"Do you understand."
Because of his words, the haze in Zheng Xiaokui's heart was swept away, and he suddenly smiled: "Really, Master?!"
"Um."
Li Zhongchen was pleased to see her.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Master Master, I'm so touched, you are like my own brother,"
Li Zhongchen smiled helplessly: "Okay, then you can hug, anyway, there is no one at the moment."
After all, the master and apprentice gave each other an encouraging hug. From Li Zhongchen's point of view, as long as the little girl will not be swayed by other people's remarks, and treat the next game and training well, then his goal will be achieved. .
It just so happened that the elevator door opened, and Qiao Yan and Su Ruiqi, who had just arrived at the venue, were both stunned by the scene in front of them—
But from Qiao Yan's point of view, the scene is simple, completely staged the love between the older brother and the younger girl in the idol drama.
His mind suddenly went blank, not knowing how to react.
