Shen Yanming only slept for four hours. No one woke him up. He set the alarm for himself. When the time came, he pulled himself out of his dream and jumped out of bed. He got up, washed up, found something to eat, and ran to the training room again.
The people in the training room had already gathered, and they were all practicing separately at their own pace. Meng Yan had just finished a rehearsal with He Changkong, and when he heard the noise, he looked towards the door with a surprised look on his face: "Luanjiang, why are you up? Your brother Kong even specifically told us not to disturb you."
As soon as these words were spoken, He Changkong also shifted his gaze to Shen Yanming.
The boy was obviously still asleep, and his usually round eyes were half-closed, like a wandering soul. When Meng Yan cueed He Changkong, the boy suddenly regained some energy, and his eyes opened slightly. He smiled and jumped behind He Changkong, supporting the upper end of the gaming chair with both hands: "I just miss my brother Kong."
Of course He Changkong didn’t think Shen Yanming really missed him. At most, she just missed the computer.
He shook his head, somewhat disapprovingly: "You get too little sleep."
"It's okay, I'm well rested," Shen Yanming said, yawning unconvincingly. Afraid that He Changkong would continue to dwell on this matter, he hurriedly changed the subject, "What are you playing?"
While asking, Shen Yanming looked around at everyone's screen. In addition to several starting players of the home team, Sunday was also here. However, Sunday seemed to be obsessed with the fight on the screen and had no time to care about things in reality.
Shen Yanming slipped over and looked for a while. Over there, Sunday and his teammates on the international server had just completed a double kill and were preparing to rush to the next place to meet up with others.
Sunday finally got his attention and greeted Shen Yanming: "Hey, you're here, Luanluanzhi."
Apparently someone else had introduced him to it.
After coming here, Shen Yanming always found it difficult to feel superior in terms of age. It was okay for him to play with the people from the second team or the youth training team, and he could sometimes feel like the big brother, but most of the time he hung out with the brothers from the main team.
Now that someone younger than him has finally come, he wants to show off his style, so he imitates the way others pat his head and puts his hand on Sunday's head: "You have no respect for your elders, why call me a mess, just call me Oppa."
As he spoke, he felt secretly happy.
Sunday calls him: "Luan Luan Hiong~"
Shen Yanming didn't understand: "What is hiong?"
He Changkong explained: "Brother. Oppa only said that when he was disgusting."
"Wow, Kong Oppa," Shen Yanming said, "You even know Korean!"
He Changkong: “…”
Shen Yanming began to launch a mental attack: "Oppa~Saranghei."
He Changkong: “…”
Meng Yan rubbed his goose bumps and said, "That's enough, you faggot."
Being called "brother", Shen Yanming was satisfied and took his hand off Sunday's head. When Sunday joined the team for the team battle, he saw the IDs of the others and was shocked, "Fuck, it's General and Frank!"
These two players are from the Korean region. Their team is the bw team that sunday will join later. bw has always been a strong team and has been competing with tmm in the past two years.
Pudding, who was sitting opposite, helped explain: "Kong-chan used the people who could play with BW as bait to lure Ritian in, because Ritian seemed to have a bit of blind worship for Frank."
Shen Yanming had also heard about this in his previous life. It was said that Sunday went to BW because he admired Frank. This kind of thing was not uncommon. Many young players had a flag or a lighthouse in their hearts. Because they admired someone, wanted to get closer to him, or even surpass him in the future, they embarked on the same path as the other person and insisted on chasing him on this path.
The players of TMM and the members of BW were rivals in the competition, and they often arranged to have practice matches with each other after the competition. He Changkong agreed to play a few solo games with the new players of BW, and Frank came to play with Sunday when he was free.
Actually, think about it, He Changkong's approach is a bit cunning. Sunday signed a short-term contract here, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely have to go back in the future. If the trajectory of fate does not deviate, then Sunday will still be a member of BW in the future, and Frank has to play with Sunday.
It looks like Sunday made money, but in fact, that’s not the case at all.
but…
Shen Yanming also wanted to play with these two players. In his previous life, when he became famous, one of them had retired and the other was half retired. Their appearance rate was relatively low, and Shen Yanming had not had much contact with them.
But now is a rare opportunity! Frank is a world-class mage, and the nanny beside him is also very powerful. Shen Yanming certainly wants to meet them.
Shen Yanming howled excitedly: "I also blindly worship Frank, I also want to play with them!"
Sunday looked very excited: "Let's play together in the next round. You like Frank too. I'm so happy."
Shen Yanming happily ran to turn on the computer.
Pudding heard what they said and raised his eyebrows: "Lanjiang, you blindly worship everyone?"
Shen Yanming was choked. He liked a lot of players, basically he liked any strong player. Of course, he couldn't say he worshipped them blindly, he was just talking nonsense.
The person he really admired was also in the room watching.
So Shen Yanming immediately changed his words: "That's not true, my brother Kong is the best! I am just playing around with other people, don't take it seriously."
Sunday got anxious when he heard this. He didn't understand the whole sentence, but he could still understand the general meaning. He said with difficulty in his unskilled Chinese: "No, Brother Frank is the one who is the most howling!"
Shen Yanming's computer was turned on, and he quickly opened the game: "Kong Ge is the best."
Sunday insisted: "Brother Frank."
Shen Yanming: "Brother Kong."
Sunday: “Frank!!!”
Shen Yanming was shocked. Is he so competitive? No wonder he would fight with others online!
Shen Yanming was not to be outdone: "He Changkong is the best, strongest and most handsome in the world!"
"… Stop it," He Changkong said to stop this inexplicable fight, "We are not even in the same position, what is there to compete for."
Shen Yanming immediately became depressed, but he was still muttering, "It doesn't matter if we are not in the same position. You are the best all-around puzzle player, right?"
Sunday said angrily: "Then don't play with us!"
Of course, Shen Yanming was not childish enough to really argue with a little brat. When he followed up on Sunday's words, in addition to the fact that he truly thought He Changkong was more powerful, he also wanted to tease the child. Seeing that he had pissed the child off, he gave up. Of course, he would not miss the opportunity to play with a powerful person: "... Little Sunday, Oppa is wrong, please let me play with you guys."
Pudding was full of questions: "What kind of English is this sandwich?"
Sunday was also provoked just now, and now he barely understood Shen Yanming's mixed Chinese and English sentences. After calming down, he felt very childish and said embarrassedly: "I'm late, come on, hiong~"
Just as their game was over, Shen Yanming joined in.
Frank went with his nanny, and Shen Yanming went with Sunday.
Shen Yanming rarely walks with the tank, he usually walks with the nurse. The nurse helps the output to increase blood and endurance, while the tank helps to take the damage, which feels quite different.
And Sunday is quite good at it. He typed a bunch of Korean in the channel at the beginning, and then explained with difficulty: "You use White Wolf, so I told them to kill it and give it to you."
Shen Yanming understood. White Wolf's ultimate skill relies on the number of kills to accumulate fighting spirit. In other words, the more heads he gets, the higher the output of his ultimate skill will be. In the past, when White Wolf fought with others, his teammates would give him the heads they wanted to take, but not all of them, after all, the others also needed to get heads to level up. Moreover, White Wolf's ultimate skill also relied on predicting the path to cause as much damage to as many enemy units as possible. If he took many heads but only hit one person when he used his ultimate skill, it would still be a loss.
However, Sunday really trusted Shen Yanming very much, and he was helping him find kills almost all the time. Therefore, in the later stages of the game, the damage of Shen Yanming's Little White Wolf was simply explosive.
He was also extremely dedicated, and he blocked all the damage that he could and could not block, making himself look tattered, but leaving behind a little white wolf with a healthy amount of blood.
The gaming experience was excellent, and after playing one game, Shen Yanming couldn’t help but want to play another one.
He also sighed: "So this is what it feels like to play with an excellent tank."
Another round ended, Shen Yanming was still not satisfied, and he and Sunday started to praise each other: "Sunday is good, I want to switch lanes and play with you in the future."
Sunday also smiled innocently: "Hiong, awesome."
Pudding took the opportunity to say: "Yes, it is also very comfortable to play with us t, so that you can feel what fatherly love is like a mountain."
Shen Yanming was about to respond when he heard He Changkong say, "... Do you want to play duo with me later?"
Meng Yan: "Hahaha, someone is anxious."
Shen Yanming: “???”
No matter how comfortable others were playing with him, they could not compare to his exclusive nurse. Shen Yanming immediately agreed to He Changkong: "Line up, line up, line up!"
This went on for a while. Shen Yanming was forced to change his schedule. Every night at 11 or 12 o'clock, when He Changkong was going home, he would definitely carry Shen Yanming back. In the morning, after He Changkong finished running, he would go and wake Shen Yanming up. Shen Yanming also tried to run with He Changkong for a few days, but he was really lazy and gave up after running once or twice.
Everything is in order.
During the break in practice, they were also pulled to take promotional photos. When the photographer was taking the photos, he joked: "Your team is pretty good-looking, and some of you have dyed your hair in various colors. Those who know me will know that I am taking photos of e-sports players, while those who don't will think I am taking photos of some idol boy group."
Shen Yanming accepted all the compliments: "We have people on our team, you know, they will become more and more handsome when they come here."
The photographer then said he wanted to take some photos of two people, and asked those who were partners to consciously form a group of two.
The staff brought up a gaming chair, and the photographer asked He Changkong to sit on it. He Changkong crossed his legs elegantly, and placed his hands on the handles of the chairs on both sides. Shen Yanming leaned sideways against the chair. Both of them wore crowns in the style of the game "Return to the Throne" and the small cape of the king in the game background.
Both of them looked towards the camera with determined eyes.
After the photoshoot, Shen Yanming went to the photographer to look at the sample picture and liked it very much: "It's so handsome. Please send me a copy after you edit it. I can use it as a screen saver."
Pudding complained about him: "He is so narcissistic."
Shen Yanming argued: "It's mainly because Brother Kong is more handsome, you understand?"
After the promotional photos were taken, they were edited very quickly, and soon the lineup for the second round of the regular season points game was released through the official blog.
E-sports club: The second round of the regular season of the 9th "Return to the Throne" China Division Professional League is about to start. TMM's starting lineup: assassin chaos, mage nightmare, healer kong, tank pudding. Substitute members: assassin nmc, tank sunday. I hope the new miracle maker can bring us more miracles, come on! [Picture][Picture]
As soon as this Weibo post was published, controversy came flooding in as expected.
Basically none of the comments in the front row are in favor.
-Are you crazy??? Chaos is that Chaos guy? Even if he is awesome, he can't be awesome enough to start right from the start, right
-What's wrong with your coaching staff? What kind of magic did they give you to let an inexperienced rookie start directly? In such an important game
- Nightmare plays the mage position? ? ? ? Are you crazy? In order to let the newcomers take over, the veterans are squeezed out? Nightmare worked hard for you for so many years and got this result? If a top assassin who is stronger than Nightmare came, I would accept it, but who is this? This is it
-Is there no one left in your group
-You've been champions for two years, and you're so proud of yourself? Let's see how you guys will fail this year.
-No way, is Luanzi some big treasure? Kong went to the live broadcast room to ask for him, and he started as a starter after joining the team? And it seems that he is really the exclusive healer.
-I am really impressed...
-If the coach is not good, please change him immediately. Don’t ruin our championship team.
-The promotional photos are pretty nice, but it's a pity that there's no lineup involved. Why don't you just stop competing and form an e-sports men's group to make money faster
…
Shen Yanming naturally saw these comments. There were also a few comments in the back row, such as "We should always give newcomers a chance" and "I think Brother Luanzi is doing really well and maybe he can really create new opportunities", but these voices were too weak and were immediately suppressed by other opposing voices.
He had expected all of this, and if he put himself in their shoes, he could understand what the players were worried about. If he were an ordinary player who knew nothing, he would also be very confused.
But people are all made of flesh and blood. Even though they have been subjected to many bad reviews in the past, these are much milder in comparison. But no matter what, it still makes one feel a little uncomfortable when seeing them.
When he read these comments, he had already finished practice and was lying back on the bed. He was about to close the page and find something else to change his mood when He Changkong's message came in.
He Changkong seemed to have expected that Shen Yanming would read the comments, and also expected that Shen Yanming might be a little depressed.
[kong_]: Don’t worry about what others say, as long as you know you can do it.
Shen Yanming hugged the pillow and rubbed his face against it.
It's quite fun to chat like this even though the rooms are only separated by a wall.
[Maverick Wild Goose]: Of course! Men can’t do that!
There was something Shen Yanming had never asked He Changkong. In fact, he had the same curiosity as some of the players.
[The Maverick Goose]: So brother, what kind of magic did you give to the coaches so that they were willing to let me start
