Chapter 4 Hot Pot
"What?" Fu Xiao shook hands halfway, and was stunned for a while.

"Canyon. Du Ruofei?" It's a bit ugly, Fu Xiao slandered.

"This is from Zhang Suiqi." He Yuqi pushed his glasses, and there was a sly light behind the lenses.

"Guan Shan Du Ruo Fei" Zhang Sui broke off the disposable chopsticks and picked up a steamed dumpling.

"And we are going to sweep the canyon like KPL's parachutist!" He Yuqi said teasingly, pretending to be very passionate.

Zhang Sui didn't care about the sarcasm in He Yuqi's voice, chewing the steamed dumplings and said vaguely, "Fei Liu is worth it. Can't I pay tribute to him if I can't keep up with him?"

"Fei Liu?" Mei Changsu's guard from that TV show?Fu Xiao decided not to point out the basic mistakes in Zhang Sui's poems.

"Flying cow!" Zhang Sui swallowed the dumplings, "Don't you watch KPL?"

Fu Xiao shook her head. Playing games occupied her monotonous and tense after-school life. She had heard of some anchors and KPL professional leagues, but she didn't know much about them, and she didn't have time to watch games and live broadcasts.

"This is the No.1 professional arena of Glory of Kings!" Zhang Sui turned on his phone and searched for the video, "Wait!"

Then, Fu Xiao, who originally dreamed of Michelle Ice City, spent half an afternoon listening to Zhang Sui's eloquent introduction of the various KPL teams, and recommended several anchors to her.

It was already past five o'clock when he walked out of Sha County for snacks, and Fu Xiao's phone had two more software for watching live broadcasts, and there were more than a dozen anchors and professional players in his watch list.

The three brothers made an agreement with Fu Xiao to meet at the square.But Fu Xiao didn't want to go home.

The pain caused by the results of the college entrance examination seemed to be covered up by the rise of the sea, and then exposed when the sea receded. It turned out that it was engraved on the stone tablet, not painted on the surface of the sand.

She dawdled for a while, and finally sat on the stone pier in the square and made a phone call.

"How was the exam?" She heard her breathing fast but said in a relaxed tone, "Pig, call and report as soon as we agreed. I've been waiting all afternoon."

It's not that urgent, said a small voice inside.She felt that she was vaguely afraid of knowing that others did better in the exam than herself.

Xu Yang is the boy in the back seat of her, who fights with her every day, and is called a pig's head.His hair is broken but clean, probably because of the bright eyes behind the broken hair.

He always claimed to be Fu Xiao's "brother", and he would bring her an extra cup of milk tea when he bought it.Everyone knows that the two of them have a good relationship in the class, and they are good buddies who talk about everything.But Fu Xiao knew that she hadn't told him too much.

For example, she actually knows how to answer the second multiple-choice question of the three-mode physics test. She knows she can choose C, but she just pretends not to ask for advice, so that she can find an excuse to talk to him a few more words; for example, she actually likes to have short hair, but But he told him that he cut it short because of his studies, and he will keep it longer in the future; for example, she fell in love with the small cup of milk tea of ​​this brand because of the aroma of the brown tea he bought. In fact, she used to drink the big bucket of fruit tea from the sweet storm next door. For example, Lagou made an agreement with him to continue playing games after entering the same university. In fact, it's not just that he wants to play games together.

What a waste, she thought.

"720" The voice on the other end of the phone brought him back to reality, "Hey, Mom and Dad are in a hurry to contact relatives to announce the good news, I didn't bother to call you to tell you"

"Congratulations!" Fu Xiao felt as if his mouth was moving.

"I reported it in the class group, I thought you saw it"

"I haven't watched the group this afternoon," it was still replying mechanically.

"What about you?"

"I didn't do well in the exam, maybe I won't be able to get into A University, 60 points lower than estimated"

"." There was silence on the other end of the phone for a second, "It's okay, there are quite a few 211s and 985s, and it's not bad. University A is just a name. If you want to study finance, there are many schools that rank higher in the country than it does."

But there won't be you there anymore, Fu Xiao thought, she would rather that such comforting words with high emotional intelligence didn't come from him, did he forget the hook he had with her?

"Yeah, it's okay, you're busy, I'm going to eat." Fu Xiao's brain regained control from his mouth, and hung up the phone after saying goodbye.For the first time, she felt that her throat was so dry, as if someone had used an awl to chisel the marks on the stone tablet again.

She opened the class group and saw that the students were reporting their grades to each other, some did well in the exam and some did poorly.Looking at those cartoon expressions of crying and laughing, I feel as if my pain is not completely empathetic to others, but I feel strangely comfortable.

She forced herself to join the discussion, to pay attention to other people's emotions, and finally responded to the greetings of a few good friends, feeling a lot better.

It was 06:30 in a blink of an eye, and there were more people in the square.The days in summer are very long, the sun didn’t set so early, but the neon lights came on early, vendors who came out to set up stalls, children wearing roller skates, aunts dancing square dances, couples sipping sugar figurines, and far away The audition stand that has been set up is very lively for a while.

It turns out that not everyone in the world gets college entrance examination scores today, maybe college entrance examination scores are not the first-class thing in the world?Fu Xiao took a deep breath, and walked towards the audition stage with his legs gradually regaining strength.

——————————————————————————————————

"Boss, are you still going to eat hot pot tonight?" A sleepy-eyed fat boy with a round face poked at the door of the apartment, blocking the way for the boss to enter.

At this moment, the young man wearing glasses completely lost the arrogance he had just shown in his father's office, and looked at his team members with a happy smile.

"You boy, eat and eat all day long, and talk about eating when you wake up."

"Let me just say, look at this pig, it eats and sleeps." The boy in the back is the complete opposite - he grows thin and tall, as if a bamboo pole has become a spirit.

"I just finished the rankings this morning! Hit 140!" The round-faced boy protested, "Have you ever seen Shangning at [-] o'clock in the morning!"

"I've never seen that before." The young man known as the boss rubbed his head and said, "We generally don't call eight o'clock in the morning."

A few boys started to wash and fight, and the unstandardized game life made their work and rest time chaotic.Li Xiwen took off his glasses and wiped them, looking at them with blurred nearsighted eyes, he also felt a little hesitant.

Although he insisted with his father that "we must persist in the dream of e-sports", he also understands that such a day of ups and downs and upside-down days and nights, and the days of ups and downs may not be able to control the fullness, how can it be regarded as "e-sports"? Competition"?

At best, it's just a group of gamers.

In a blink of an eye, everyone finished packing, and they sat in the largest private room of the hot pot restaurant downstairs.

"Boss is so handsome today." The thin monkey is called Wang Bintao, and he plays the mid laner in the team, and his mouth is really sharp.

"We have eaten more luxurious ones before! I think back then, when we were playing in KPL." The round-faced boy immediately became interested.

The boy next to him immediately slapped him on the shoulder, shook his head and signaled him to stop talking.

"It's nothing." Li Xiwen snorted, "You let him talk, you let him talk"

"Let's see if Lin Yuhang's champion can win for a lifetime?"

"No." Lin Yuhang shut his mouth tactfully, and changed the subject on a whim, "Qin Han, why didn't your girlfriend come today? Isn't today the weekend?"

The handsome face of the boy who interrupted Lin Yuhang just now fell, and he suddenly regretted slapping this buddy.

"There was a fight," he said briefly.

Silence for three seconds.

"Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, the level depends on you," the thin monkey concluded awkwardly and funny.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiwen asked, "Let the boss enlighten you?"

Qin Han shook his head, he never talked much.

Fine.

Li Xiwen secretly sighed.

You can guess without saying.For those who do this, they don’t have time to spend with their families or girlfriends. It’s a common thing, and it’s okay for people to complain a little bit.What's more, there is no money yet.

The hot pot was brought up, and he looked at the steaming red oil pot, but his heart didn't feel any warmer.

"Actually, it's right not to be enlightened by the boss." Lin Yuhang excitedly put the mutton into the pot, and at the same time said nonchalantly, "If he is enlightened by himself, will he still be single for 30 years?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha" everyone laughed together.Only Li Xiwen was angrily thinking about why the hot pot hadn't healed yet, and he had to shut this person up quickly.

After Lin Yuhang's favorite meat was cooked, he ordered Qin Han's tofu skin, thin monkey's favorite mushroom, and the new opponent Lu Wuxiao and assistant Lu He. They were very shy and never said what they wanted to eat. , seems to be less talkative than the cold-faced handsome Qin Han, but Li Xiwen is sure that they will be children who can let go when they get acquainted with everyone in the future.After several rounds of eating, everyone gradually got full and began to cook the last dish. Li Xiwen suddenly hoped that he would be the one who could be gagged.

"If you have anything else you want to eat, order a little more. You're welcome." He felt something stuck in his throat. "Maybe there won't be such a big meal in the future."

Although the tone was relaxed, everyone's movements were obviously slowed down.

"What do you mean?" Qin Han was the first to speak.There was no panic in the tone, very calm.

"Well, our finances may be a little tight."

"Since the beginning of this year, our savings have almost bottomed out. Some people don't want me to continue doing this."

Seeing the astonishment on everyone's faces, Li Xiwen quickly added, "But the daily expenses can still be maintained, even if it is a little tight, maybe the salary may not be on time."

Everyone was silent for a while.

"Normal," Lu He said suddenly. He was just 18 years old when he first arrived. He was recruited by Li Xiwen from the Luban Master List of the national server, and his combat power was several thousand higher than the No.2 fault. "Although... I have only been here for a few days, but I also know that we rely on our own bonuses to make money in this fight. Now that the bonuses have not been taken, of course there is no money."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.This kid is too young, so many people want to win the championship, why should it be you?Could it be that those who have not won the championship will starve to death?

"I don't care," Lin Yuhang replied, "I just want to fight back to KPL at every opportunity. Boss, I'm the same as you."

"If you had the ability to fight back, would you play in the national competition here?" The thin monkey narrowed his eyes. "It's just a player that even the secondary leagues don't bother with."

"You!" Qin Han and Lu He, one on the left and one on the right, quickly jumped up and hugged Lin Yuhang. He is tall and big, and it is not a joke to give the thin monkey a blow.

"If you have the ability to fight back, would you be here with me—"Skinny Monkey's face flushed"—a third-rate jungler like me who didn't play in KPL and was squeezed into the middle by you?" The thin monkey talked more and more, but it was obvious that the target of the attack was no longer Lin Yuhang.

"Then what are you still doing here!" Lin Yuhang yelled, "Go back to your hometown! Come and eat Lao Li's hot pot!"

"Enough!" Li Xiwen expected some unhappiness, but he didn't expect things to develop in this direction.Lin Yuhang sat down panting, Qin Han let go of him, while Lu He on the side was still holding his arm in fear.

"I have a question," Wu Xiao said, "Boss Li" suddenly called that, and Li Xiwen felt a little strange.

"If the salary is not paid in full, isn't it against the regulations?"

"It's like this, social security and everything will be paid." He usually fights with the team members, and this is the first time he feels that he has such a formal discussion with the "employees" on the issue of remuneration.

The sky was getting dark, and someone outside the window turned on the high beams, which made Li Xiwen a little lost in thought.

I don't know if there is anyone in such a big city who has unrealistic dreams like him. Whether it is possible to go from a coach without a championship who was kicked out of the league to a coach with a championship, he doesn't know if there is an end to this road.

 1. Parallel world mobile games of kings and professional leagues, version strength and so on, just take a look at it overhead.

  2. There is no prototype, and there may be some familiar plots in the middle of the alliance, but these are all necessary elements in e-sports.

  3. There is no prototype for the protagonist, but the story will draw materials or pay tribute to the players in KPL. If there is, I will clearly state it in the chapter. If it is not mentioned, it is really not considered, it is just a coincidence.
