In the next few days, Qin Jue pretended not to know anything, just gnawing on the meat buns bought by Qi Ji, and began to become familiar with everything that he had no time to pay attention to before.
During the process, he quickly understood one thing - although they were all e-sports teams, this place was completely different from every place he had ever stayed before.
If the keynote of those small teams is "hard work", "dream" and "power for love", then the keynote of this giant team is only one word - money.
Located in a prime location not far from the Yangtze River, this newly renovated building will illuminate the shop floor with white lights day and night, bringing not only a sense of technology as if traveling through the future, but also the phantom of countless banknotes.
Not to mention anything else, the first floor here alone is about 3 or 4 stories high. The soft decoration is clearly the work of well-known designers. The front hall is extremely empty, except for a few artistic works scattered sparsely. Seats and sculptures.
It is hard to imagine that such space utilization would be achieved in Shanghai and Pudong of Shanghai, China.
The team logo sculpture in the form of a three-dimensional 3D diagonally inserted on the front wall of the hall is composed of the letter "I" inserted into the letter "S". It is glowing with golden luster and looks like the "money symbol" no matter how you look at it. $", it can be described as simple and crude, and it directly touches the soul.
Qin Jue couldn't tell how many team members and youth trainees were accommodated here. He only knew that in addition to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the team also had multiple game divisions such as League of Legends, DOTA2, and CSGO. No one knew him, but it made him feel guilty. The strange thing is that he actually knows them unilaterally, and has even fought against them.
-For example, CSGO's solo player, the most famous libero player in China, is incredibly strong on the defensive end, but slightly weak on the offensive end. Qin Jue once half-bought a comeback in his hands to save the team, and got his Appreciated.
At that time, Qin Jue was already preparing to finish his last game, give up e-sports and leave Shanghai. If this senior hadn't repeatedly recognized him, which made his heart waver again, he would have saved up the down payment to move bricks at the construction site.
—For example, Lone Ye from DOTA, one of the pioneers of strategic competitive games in China, is now a coach. He still looks like a dog in a suit, but Qin Jue recalled that just five or six years ago, the opponent often Being dragged to major colleges and universities to earn a meager appearance fee, Qin Jue not only sneaked in and got two autographs, but also accidentally bumped into him sleeping at the train station.
It turns out that in order to save accommodation costs when playing games across cities, even well-known players would sleep directly outside with their own blankets on their backs.
So at that time, Qin Jue walked over and couldn't help but put a hundred-dollar bill next to the bench and bought him a bag of bread - but he didn't expect that the other person would really care about him and even criticized him with a smile during the interview. : There is nothing wrong with me being diligent and thrifty. Which grandson treats me as a beggar? Don’t let me catch you, or I will stuff your penis with money.
—For example, the jungler Monologue and the mid laner Sting of the League of Legends branch. Qin Jue also saw them challenge mythical opponents in the industry as dark horses in the WCG (World Gaming Championship) venue in 2013, and won the The next championship.
Therefore, in the past few years, although Qin Jue did not dare to show his face in public for fear of being found, he still secretly wandered around many e-sports venues, and he could be regarded as witnessing the high spirits of many people and the regrets of even more people.
Even if the glory stacks up, even if the veterans retire, even if the WCG, the e-sports event that lasted for 13 years, is no longer held, he seems to still want to participate in weaving this ideal, even if he is a dispensable spectator, it doesn't matter.
However, he did not have enough courage to care about the news of every player he envied. He just took it for granted that as time went by, everything had changed.
But today's IS team is so big that it's easy for the old and the new to overlap in confusion. He didn't have time to be surprised, and he soon had a subtle feeling of being both familiar and unfamiliar.
-Those old faces that were once famous overseas but were still poor and disgraced seemed to have suddenly become glamorous and out of reach, no longer what he remembered.
For this reason, he had no choice but to hang up his clothes to dry with a guilty conscience, trying not to be so wrinkled, and took out a mobile phone case that had not been used for a long time to put it on so that the iPhone 5 he was throwing around would not be too outdated. Of course, he was more I didn’t mention the past to any of my “colleagues” in the club.
But Qi Ji seemed to be aware of his disappointment. He quickly took out the team uniform and said, "Wear mine before yours is customized." And before going to bed at night, he took out a box with the latest style written on it. Model, iphone
"... The Liangpi shop won't give away a rolling pin and give away a 10,000 yuan mobile phone in the lottery? I think the shop owner is kind to you, right?" Qin Jue was panicked and refused, but what he didn't expect was that this guy was actually worried for a long time. After I came up with some excuse, I went to someone and found an old iPhone 4, so I changed the SIM card and started using it.
… Oh shit. Qin Jue couldn't help but cursed why the iPhone 4 could still be turned on, but Qi Ji soon disturbed his thoughts: Where did you buy that phone case? It's pretty... I want to buy the same one.
Of course, Qin Jue couldn't tell him, but the omnipotent Taobao and free shipping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai made Qin Jue's arrangements clear: in the afternoon of the next day, Qi Ji was already walking through the market with the same phone case.
Therefore, the slightly oversized team uniform, the eye-catching mobile phone case of the same style, and the shared bed that was probably rumored by Cui Xuezhi made Qin Jue, in a special way, fall in love with him for the first time in a few days. See the clues of integrating into the team.
—No matter where he went, he seemed to hear people whispering.
"That's the guy... I heard that his marksmanship is super accurate, and he even let Xiaohua, who didn't say a word, sleep with him in just one day. He's too strong."
"No, which marksmanship?? Please tell me carefully, it should be more than 3,000 words."
"Don't, don't, don't, he's staring at you, come on, come on."
…
…
Even the jungler from the League of Legends branch who came out as gay came to joke with Shen Ye: Idol, do you want me to open my 24K pure gold gay camera to help you identify the two members of your team? You don’t need much, just treat me to a meal of crayfish~
Qin Jue felt that he could bear the humiliation even more than Sima Qian and Gou Jian, but when the dark night that frightened him came, he was still uneasy and could not refuse Qi Ji's move to climb into bed.
Seeing him like this, the other party sincerely suggested: Since you like to pester me, how about... we sleep closer to each other from the beginning? Anyway, I'm not a girl.
Qin Jue's chest tightened suddenly. After threatening, "Believe it or not, I will break you right now and make you a girl." Qin Jue wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and went to sleep in a hurry. He did not dare to think about his posture when he woke up tomorrow. What will it be like
"It seems like you've been doing well these two days?" In the past few days after joining the team, captain Shen Ye, who should also be an "old acquaintance", was also very concerned about him. "After the training match that day, a bunch of beasts kept following me. I'm clamoring to see you, just like a boar waiting to be slaughtered wants to serve the royal cabbage. As for that - but it shouldn't take long to have a meal. When will the master be free, can he help me blackmail you? Wen Rong That boy was fucked by you twice, and he must have climaxed so much that he felt so comfortable that he didn’t want to think about anything but just getting to know you."
"...I'm a straight man, not gay." Qin Jue corrected his joke and agreed, "Anytime is fine." But in the next two hours, Qi Ji came over three or four times and silently stuffed him with five or six kinds of snacks.
He was confused, while Shen Ye's eyes glanced at the snacks at his elbow intriguingly: "Oh, I don't even want to give you that seaweed roll. We, my dear, are really afraid that you will be snatched away - but today has already happened It is officially announced that you have joined the team, and you will soon be outnumbered~"
Qin Jue then remembered the official announcement, but he had no intention of reading the comments below - it was not because he was afraid that those people would scold him, but because he was afraid that his level of trolling was too high, and if he couldn't help but really hurt those people Being hung from a 500-meter hanging tower would be too embarrassing for the manager and coach.
After all, there must be many people inside who are fans of the IS team, so he can't do that.
But he didn't expect that there was already a storm around him - after finishing training, Shen Ye left a message "I'll arrange something" while entering the dormitory. Qi Ji hurriedly grabbed Cui Xuezhi and asked, "Cui Shen , how to register for Weibo?" He also didn't expect that early tomorrow morning, his personality would collapse.
