The rain was still falling, but the audience cheered for half an hour without losing enthusiasm. In the brilliant golden flames, the golden pot belonging to the IS team also began to shine in the hands of the players.
For Shen Ye, only when he regains his original intention in the end can he have the courage to look back on the past path.
Those years of eating instant noodles and crowding on the floor made him successful, but they also made him forget himself most of the time.
But at this moment, all titles such as the North Star of Chinese e-sports and the captain of a wealthy team are eclipsed. He is just Luo Ye. When I have the opportunity to boast in the future, I only need to say that Luo Ye is the only one who persisted from the age of 14 to 27. E-sports players who are still winning championships are enough.
The spray of flowers also fell on Cui Xuezhi's charming peach blossom eyes, making him less numb for the first time.
For him, grades were once just one of the necessary conditions for him to make money. Since he started working in society to support his family and send his younger siblings to school when he was a teenager, he has long been aware of the ways of the world, and the teams he joined each have their own complexities, so Unlike other shy players, he knows exactly how to use his strength and looks.
Showing off his persona in front of fans is just something he can do easily, and then he gradually becomes the god of war and one of the e-sports players with the highest commercial value. Even when he comes to the IS team, he always depends on the reputation of Shen Ye and Yanagisawa. Seven points depend on the team's money, and they are clearly calculated when signing the contract.
Unless the plot requires it, he will never cry on the field. This is probably the first time that he is willing to put himself in a position with the least chance of performance, such as the scout position, and is also willing to let his eyes turn red.
Few people could see his inner coldness from his external warmth. Only he knew that he had completely surrendered and no longer regarded his teammates as business colleagues who met by chance and had a good relationship, but as friends who truly wanted to stay for a lifetime.
Qi Ji, the youngest member of the team, looked at the surging audience with a little regret.
Except for his performance on the first day and the shooting at the beginning of the last day, he couldn't recognize himself. Taking into account the single performance of the entire game, the strongest sniper was his former target DEMON—so even if he won the TPP world championship, he I still can’t wait, knowing that there are more scenery and challenges waiting for me.
The biggest effect of this championship is probably that he can't even feel much physical pain. It also makes Qin Jue, who has been checking on his condition, feel relieved and can play with the golden pot.
So in those firelight special effects, everyone on the podium was full of thoughts and seriously moved by this moment. Only Qin Jue could break this style in one second - on the stage, he was the only one who would hold the golden pot excitedly and ask: " Hurry up, which direction is our photographer taking pictures??? Do you want to bite the golden pot? I think Olympic champions are like this-"
The three people had to recover from their sighs and quickly stopped him: "Damn it, don't bite it. It would be so embarrassing if you bite it off. Can you please give the organizer some face??"
"Yes, senior... that tooth on your left side is a bit sharp. Didn't it hurt me last time?" Qi Ji reminded him seriously, but only caused the two teammates next to him to ask questions: "Does it hurt? Where does it hurt?" ?”
When Qin Jue couldn't wait to explain that it was just a kiss, Qi Ji's face was already red and bleeding.
Qin Jue had no choice but to give up resistance and pretended to continue looking for the camera with red ears.
—It didn’t seem like it took him too long to go from being afraid of being recognized to being willing to expose the scars on his face and share the joy of winning with the audience.
But rather than recalling the changes his teammates had made on him, he was more fortunate to have participated in an important turning point in their lives.
After all, being able to save Polar Star's life and melting the God of War's heart, which is far away from people thousands of miles away, is so honorable - the only loss is probably Qi Ji's injury.
So while stroking the golden pot, Qin Jue had been thinking about whether to pull Qi Ji into a kiss to comfort him and declare their relationship to the world. However, just as he turned his head hesitantly, he saw DEMON on the other side with a dark face. face, giving him a sneer.
The other party held a copper pot in his hand, and his expression was almost openly provocative.
Qin Jue was stunned for a moment, and the hand that secretly grabbed Qi Ji's sleeve loosened up - that smile mixed with the lively voices made it even more cold and unusual, and made Qin Jue realize that this was not the final victory yet, what awaited them , as well as FPP mode, and the taunts that the Demon King has probably practiced a thousand times.
In an instant, Qin Jue's expression darkened and he gave the other party a terrifying expression. The other party twisted his neck and continued looking at the camera nonchalantly.
The moment he looked back, Qin Jue found that Qi Ji was also facing the same direction and saw DEMON's expression, so the two looked at each other and had a tacit understanding:
Fuck him
good.
No one saw the exchange between the eyes of the two young people on the podium. They only knew that the IS team returned to the player tunnel with smiles and cheers. Most of the other players' expressions were not so heavy - after a few days of competition, everyone had their hands out. At the end of the day, they recognize the dominance of the IS team, but they also know that they still have the FPP mode to challenge and strive for.
In the passage, Qi Xingzhou was the first to catch up and congratulated Cui Xuezhi with red ears. However, he ignored Shen Ye and ran away in two seconds. Shen Ye was confused: "Yanshen ignored me in anger." , Xingzhou also ignored me in anger, you young people are really arrogant, will it be easy for me to be a father?"
Qin Jue fought with him, and the other players from all over the world were also very friendly. The dark horse Australian Wolves team came for an outing, and they were more excited than winning the championship. Qin Jue at least heard them talk about 20 goose girls, and some even meant Shenzhen Changbao sent Cui Xue the room number: I like you, a mature and calm Asian man. You are gay, right
Cui Xuezhi's temples were cramping. While she declined, she wanted to fight Shen Ye who was spreading gay thoughts everywhere. On the other hand, Sarang, who had lost the championship because he was assassinated in the first game today, followed up and rescued the besieged Shen Ye in time. He had no choice but to follow He nodded and said something. When Qin Jue asked, Qi Ji replied: "... It probably means that Luo Ye, you are so coquettish."
Qin Jue laughed, but he didn't expect that he would also get a lot of praise from the empress. The other party meant that when she first came into contact with games and played online matches, she was also questioned about cheating. The reason was that as a girl, how could it be possible? She fought so well - so after hearing about Qin Jue's deeds, she looked forward to Qin Jue even more.
"You are very powerful." Sarang glanced at him and regretfully glanced at Qi Ji's face that suited her taste again, "Then see you again in FPP mode with my sister?"
Seeing the two young men's ears red from being teased, Shen Ye's throat was really bloody: The only girl I've been in contact with for so many years seems to be more interested in you two pure-bred gays. What's going on?
As Cui Xuezhi joked, "I think you can really get a double eyelid surgery," they soon arrived at the entrance of the passage.
The coaching team waiting there was the most shameless in the whole game. Several assistant coaches came up and said in exaggerated tone: "Wow, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, are you the IS team that won the world championship in the first season of Chicken Fighting? Awesome, awesome, awesome, Can you sign your name for us?”
After saying that the notepads and pens were actually handed over, several contestants were all ashamed and pushed them for a long time without pushing them. After being hugged by them, they returned to the hotel with the calls that had not disappeared from their ears.
***
After a group of people had an exciting and simple celebration meal, they returned to the dormitory together. Qi Ji took some medicine and sat on the bed to rest. He looked fine. Qin Jue hugged the golden pot and leaned against him quietly. He didn't seem to show much concern. Others were taking pictures, posting on Weibo, and replying to hot searches. It seemed that their tense nerves had relaxed a lot.
Between the two modes of competition, there is still a week's rest. Doctor Meng said that it is enough for Qi Ji to deal with the injury, so he can go into battle lightly. Yanagisawa does not intend to put too much pressure on them: "Just play as hard as you can, we have proven ourselves." , it also proves that Chinese shooting games are getting better, and if FPP is in the top three, the audience will not say anything."
But when Qin Jue and Qi Ji heard this, they both became confused, and in turn asked Yanagize whether he still had dreams with such loose remarks, which made Yanagize almost forced by them to copy the team rules. Fortunately, at this time, the boss Ou Yue gave him a Shen Ye sent a video call, attracting everyone's attention.
Shen Ye picked up the answer, and there was a face that had lost its soul after being tortured by papers and assessments. When he saw several of his team members, Ou Yue's eyes lit up: "Team Shen can do it, he can become the world champion so soon." , didn’t go to a gay club?”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Shen Ye replied, "I have always guarded my body for you, okay? I'll make a web on my ass and fuck my anus until it cracks."
"Stop it." Ou Yue waved his hand, but his tone was quite satisfactory, "Manager Lu said that more people are watching games on Langhua TV recently. There may be a domestic league next season. I have already contacted the independent Now that you have the broadcasting rights, the more championships you win, the more stable it will be for me to talk about it. Even if it doesn’t work, our platform will have the most people. Anyway, the Awakening team must give me a hard time - you should broadcast more when you come back, and you will definitely get a share. Oh... Apart from you, what else should I pay attention to?"
"Thank you, Mr. Ou, for your concern. Let's have sex together when you have time." Shen Ye waved his hand and was about to hang up, but the person on the other side smacked his lips and became even more excited: "Hey, tell me - is it a bigger gimmick to have a double crown? ?”
The coaching staff's eyes immediately focused on him, and Shen Ye was also startled. He was about to come back to him: "No, how much money is Mr. Ou prepared to pay to add cards to other teams?"
But Ou Yue bit the pen of his iPad and had obviously begun to enjoy his great ambitions: "Win the double crown, and then win the overall MVP. On the last day, I will go to the scene in person and bring the supermodel I met recently. This attention will be stable." . When you come back, you can bring the LOL branch’s gangsters for some entertainment. They just won the mid-season championship and are on vacation, so they can keep each other excited.”
"... Do I want to take you with me by the way to make you feel like two world champion teams are dominating the world?" Manager Cheng exposed him. He also raised his eyebrows and said matter-of-factly: "Why don't you say something to Cheng Yao, can you become a manager~"
"..." Shen Ye glanced at Cheng Yao with an expression that said you don't care about this kid anymore, but Qin Jue suddenly responded: "Boss, this is a great idea. Have you booked your flight tickets?"
Everyone else was trembling, except Qi Ji, who clapped gently beside him with a serious look on his face.
"It's okay, I just walked here from Heidelberg." Ou Yue joked, holding his chin, and noticed something, "Why do you feel that you and Cui Shen are not active, Luo Ye? The most beautiful thing is sunset red. Have you never heard of it?"
How long have they been happy after winning the championship? Of course the two old fritters know how difficult it is to win the double championship, so they both looked embarrassed, but Ou Yue misunderstood: "The money from the Blue Hole is too little? Can't I go out? Give me one." How about triple your bonus after winning the double crown?"
Faced with such a check that couldn't be cashed, Shen Ye of course wanted to blurt out "It's not about money", but Cui Xuezhi suddenly brightened up and betrayed him by holding on to the table: "...Okay, I promise there will be no problem. , you just come to the scene and show off."
"???" In an instant, three question marks appeared on Shen Ye's temples. Ou Yue proactively nodded and hung up the video, making the matter irreversible. Shen Ye could only poke Cui Xuezhi with his elbow, "What are you doing again?" Why are you so crazy??”
Cui Xuezhi came back to her senses and laughed dryly: "... I'm so excited, I can't hold it back."
After making such a promise to the boss, everyone except Qin Jue and Qi Ji were willing to die with a face of uncertainty. At this time, the door rang at an inappropriate time. Shen Ye had no choice but to open the door, and saw an even more inappropriate person standing there. There.
It's DEMON, DEMON with a cold face.
Shen Ye simply rolled his eyes in his mind and said, "Here we go again." However, DEMON didn't seem to think there was anything strange about his appearance here, and even raised the corner of his mouth: "Luo Ye."
Shen Ye knew very well what he was going to say. Sure enough, the other party still looked arrogant and deliberately provoked the two young players in front of them: "The TPP model has proved the strength of your world champions, but it is not everything. I You will be the winner based on overall performance. If you leave the competition this year, you will not be able to beat me again."
The opponent took the copper pot in the TPP mode, but Shen Ye didn't think that the IS team would fall out of the top three in the FPP mode, so he wanted to send him away on impulse: "... Xiao Qi, come here and give him your hand. look."
The implication is that even if our team members are injured, they can still fuck you in the game. However, when the shadow behind him came over, Qi Ji did not give in to DEMON. Instead, he put his elbow on the door frame and closed the door when his face turned dark. DEMON quickly raised his hand to press the door panel and narrowed his eyes to prevent him from closing it.
The two sides remained in a tense stalemate for more than ten seconds just like when they first met. Qi Ji looked at his former target in front of him, and even though his eyes were bloodshot and red, he didn't exert too much force.
It wasn't until Qin Jue sensed something was wrong and came over to show off his power and said, "Come on, break this guy's hand so that he can't play the game." Qi Ji lowered his eyebrows and deliberately pretended to be cruel, scaring DEMON so much that he loosened his grip. , was locked out of the door with a snap.
Immediately afterwards, low curses came from outside, but facing the confused Shen Ye, Qi Ji's voice was calm: "There is nothing interesting to see, and there is no reason to lose, so even if you want to watch, you have to win before talking to him. "
As he spoke, he tilted his head and continued: "...So, why does DEMON like to cause trouble for you so much, captain?"
On the other side, Chu Lianhe rushed to answer: "I know how to answer this question: fall in love and kill each other, fall in love but not love each other, be tough-tongued and arrogant, choose one of the three."
Shen Ye patted the back of his neck and objected: "Kid, put away those ideas of yours. I... think he is just arrogant - he has always had this attitude towards me and Sarang, especially Don’t allow yourself to lose to someone you look down on.”
After saying that, Shen Ye shook his head helplessly: "Besides, he must remember what happened in the restaurant that day, and he especially dislikes Yan Shen and Xiao Hua."
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Cheng continued from the side: "Captain Shen is really right - come and see, the pre-match trash talk session that the people love to see is here."
Everyone turned to look. On the Twitter page on his phone screen, it was indeed the latest message from DEMON - Do you still remember who sent Luo Ye's first world runner-up to him? A week later, I will send him out with another second. Fleur and Wangyan want to stop it, but that is a dream.
"Europeans and Americans are still optimistic. Now they are at a disadvantage and dare to make fun of them - should we retaliate? For example, let the whole Paris cry for the second time next week over Europe and America eating chicken?"
- Manager Cheng shook his phone, and Shen Ye sighed and thought for a while: "I will definitely get it back - let's just say that it feels very comfortable to win against you. Who is willing to retire?"
Manager Cheng agreed and quickly switched accounts to reply.
It is estimated that audiences all over the world like this kind of confrontation, and now Ou Yue must have chosen his clothes for watching the game like a butterfly - everyone was excited again, Qi Ji even Putting the golden pot aside, he began to mutter, "Wait until we bring your long-lost twin brother back for reunion." This made Shen Ye want to ruffle his hair: "Xiao Qi, are you so confident?"
Unexpectedly, Qi Ji's expression looked like he didn't quite understand what he said.
Even though Qi Ji's character is not lively, his youthful and frivolous appearance is not inferior to anyone in the e-sports circle: "... That's right. I don't have any self-confidence, so why play in e-sports competitions? I felt good before, and compared to when I was in China His condition is much better. As long as he recovers in the past two days, I believe there will be no problem - I will do my best to make up for the delay in the TPP model."
"No, you idiot, don't say that, I just think-" Shen Ye hesitated, and winked at the others, "After training for only a few games, you go straight to the game, who can guarantee the effect?"
However, when everyone in the room saw what had happened, no one cared about Shen Ye, an elderly parent. Liuze also said: "You don't understand this, Captain Shen. If you don't use a gun for a few days, it will only become harder." Even better ~ Yan Shen, what do you think?"
Then, while the two young men were teasing and blushing, a group of people went back to their rooms while browsing the forum. Liu Ze also asked Qi Ji to stay: "In principle, your status means that you two cannot stay in the same room. Yes, but everyone has worked hard these two days, so let’s take half a day off tomorrow. Do whatever you want, and then start training again in the evening - Yanshen, take good care of Xiaoqi.”
According to Yanagisawa, the young man's desire that has been suppressed for dozens of days can be released appropriately. When others left one after another, they also cheered, "You have to watch your watch in extraordinary times." "Don't wear your mouth and have to appear on camera." Don't be too fierce and hurt your ex-girlfriend." This made Qi Ji's ears feel hot. He rarely struggled loudly, just to stick to his principles: "I will not do such a thing during the competition!"
But the group of people in front of him all left with disbelief on their faces. What made him even more angry was that Qin Jue was still acting stupidly and scratching the scar on his face in frustration: "... So you have an ex-girlfriend? Oh, I don't mean no. Okay, I can’t eat this kind of old vinegar, but—but I don’t even know there is…”
Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, then pinched his face helplessly and held him in his arms: "... They are talking about my right hand. How come senior can't grasp the point?"
Qin Jue was stunned for a moment, and then he realized how ashamed he was of other people's ancestors who had been sprayed by him, and his eyes suddenly became panicked at the familiar body temperature.
—He actually also suffers from the legendary love brain, which can be said to be a shame in the troll world.
In fact, because he hadn't been this close to Qi Ji for a long time, he felt like he couldn't stand even after being hugged. His lower abdomen felt faintly hot like a pool of spring water, and it took him a long time to stabilize his heartbeat.
The so-called tough talk but weak legs probably refers to him.
It seemed that he had to wait until everyone else was gone before he dared to care for the other person in a more gentle way: "Shou... is it really okay?"
The other party stroked his hair and gave an affirmative answer, and he closed his eyes with more peace of mind. In order not to expose the blood on his face, he spent a lot of effort to bury his face in response to the hug, and couldn't help but feel the pain he had received in the past few days. The tension and worry were all released in each other's arms.
In addition to kissing, he also likes warm hugs - it seems that as soon as he melts into the other person's broad shoulders, it is like being immersed in a steaming hot spring, and all the muscles and bones in his body can stretch out, making him feel extra comfortable and at ease.
But obviously, Qi Ji had more intense desire than him at this moment. The opponent's left hand seemed to be surrounding him calmly, but his right hand was caressing the back of his neck like crazy, and his hot breath was blowing into his ears: "Senior, how come he is completely the same person when he is competing and how he is in normal times?"
The breathing sound was simply like the panting of a beast in heat, but the movements of his hands were extremely restrained and he still adhered to his principles.
Seeing how hard he endured it, Qin Jue couldn't help but get carried away: "Why, what are you doing, why don't you spend some of your body fluids to enjoy the treatment of a double flight?"
As he said that, he was still blushing and tried his best to seduce Qi Ji: "You, do you think the sheets in foreign hotels are very expensive and I can't afford to pay for them if they get stained, Xiao Qi?"
As expected, Qi Ji started to rub his neck with his face bitterly, and he continued: "I think the sheets must be very soft and skin-friendly, otherwise the room rate would not be this price, and I'm afraid you won't be able to use the models provided by European hotels~"
The shyer Qin Jue became, the more energetic he became. He had no real intention to do anything with him, but the other party kept rubbing his ear, as if he thought he really wanted it: "No, senior. I-I really don't That’s okay.”
Seeing that Qi Ji was so serious and cute, Qin Jue had to be merciful and merciful. He quickly pushed him away and pulled him to wash up. Then he led him back to bed like a child: "Okay, okay, I'll follow you." You are joking, do you really dare to waste your yang energy? You need to rest more, and go to sleep while dad is here to coax you today."
However, Qin Jue didn't expect that Qi Ji's expression under the light was full of big question marks, and the words he blurted out: "Huh? Senior, shouldn't he just ride up and rape me?"
"..." So the next second, Qin Jue gritted his teeth and jumped on him to start playing with him - until he found bruises on his legs, Qin Jue paused: "What is this?"
Qi Ji's eyes were startled, and he quickly flashed innocently and replied: "...it's a knock."
Qin Jue didn't believe it and threatened, "You promised me last time that you would tell me anything. Anyone who disobeys will be the one to blame."
Qi Ji had no choice but to lick his lower lip and replied: "... I did it myself. I found that diverting attention may reduce the impact on the game operation."
After a long time, Qin Jue raised his lowered eyes, dug out the potion from the medicine box he brought with him in a muffled voice, and carefully rubbed it out for him: "... Just? In my opinion, it's almost like amputation, do you know?" "
Qi Ji was moved by his fierceness, and couldn't help but lean forward and poke his face, which was about to explode with grievance: "Well, senior, you have to do it quickly, otherwise you will have to deal with it yourself."
Qin Jue pursed his lips and muttered.
“You’re saying I’m just worried, right?”—
"Okay, I'm just worried to death."—
"A wonderful man like me" -
"Even if you are bitten by a mosquito, I will destroy their entire paradise" -
"So you can't do this again next time" -
In the end, Qin Jue leaned over and lay on his lap, and his voice gradually became softer: "And... no matter if it's a blade or anything else, you can't block it from me."
When Qi Ji heard this, he panicked and hurriedly explained again, but Qin Jue was determined in his heart. Not only did he want to win the game to refute DEMON's discrimination for the captain and countless seniors, but he also had to fully express his determination to Qi Ji after the game. .
The rainy night in Paris ended like this, and the two of them really just stayed together quietly like this, obediently doing nothing - until they realized that the position where Qin Jue was lying was too subtle and ambiguous, their faces turned red and one of them quickly looked up. They stood up and pulled away, and one immediately hugged their legs to protect themselves. It took them a long time to muster the courage to fall asleep in each other's arms.
**
But when Qin Jue stepped into the training room the next day, everyone who saw him looked amused -
"Hurry up and protect me!"
"Does Yanshen need help?"
"Is Xiao Qi okay? Are you too tired to get up?"
Qin Jue regained his energy after blushing for a second, and beat them with absolute suppression. Only then did he arrive in front of Liuze, but he couldn't say anything he wanted to say.
"What's wrong?" However, even Yanagisawa is a crooked master. "Your throat feels uncomfortable? Then remember to let Xiao Qi be more relaxed next time."
Qin Jue was so angry that he blurted out: "Coach, I want to publicly confess my love to my wife after winning the game? I mean, if I can win the championship!"
As he said this, he apologized in a low voice, "I was so impulsive yesterday. I'm sorry, but I controlled it in the end." But because he lowered his head, he didn't see the people around him looking at each other in surprise and smiling. As if he was hiding something from him, Yanagisawa held it in for a long time before patting him on the shoulder: "... It's no problem. You can do whatever you want then. Winning the championship is a confession. You, Team Shen, won the title 800 years ago." I wanted to do this, but it’s a pity that no girl wants him.”
Shen Ye yelled, "Fuck you, Yanagisawa. You're 30 years old, don't you still move your left hand and right hand in slow motion every day?" Then everyone started today's training. Yanagisawa also emphasized that FPP's playing style is more retro and is truly complete. The mode that conforms to the definition of FPS games relies more on the shooting ability itself. The core reaction and marksmanship are the most important.
FPP and TPP modes seem to be just two ways to play the game. The overall difference is that the first-person perspective of FPP is narrower, but this is not the case.
Since the previous popular shooting games around the world - CSGO and Call of Duty - are mainly FPP perspective games, European and American teams have always occupied a relatively dominant position in these games, so when it comes to fighting chicken, they also prefer to play from the FPP perspective. The experience advantages you have are superimposed.
Although the four main players of the IS team have all played CS, Qin Jue only played online games at that time, and Qi Ji only played a few games as a student player during weekends, without any real professional experience - so From this point alone, there is a certain lack.
FPP's viewing angle is narrow, and you have to look back in many directions to observe. Information acquisition is relatively synchronized, and the probability of direct gunfire is greater. This fits the style of the IS team to a certain extent, but at the same time, it also weakens Shen Ye and Yanagisawa in disguise. performance in tactical guidance.
Therefore, the team's biggest bargaining chip is probably Cui Xuezhi and Qin Jue's close combat cooperation, as well as Qi Ji and Qin Jue's marksmanship.
"Come on, the team bought you two geniuses to join the team. It's time to show your worth." So Liu Ze greeted Qin Jue while pulling out a photo of Zhang Ouyue and displaying it on the screen of his mobile phone. He put it aside and didn't care about it at all. Does it look like a posthumous photo? "Three times the bonus, look at Mr. Ou's face and train with all your strength."
