Chapter 173 "Smart Friend" Part [-]

My name is Jock, a senior otaku.

I work?Just reselling various gaming equipment.

My talent in playing games can be said to be first-rate.

This kind of first-class is not self-proclaimed. Of course, because of this, I have been blacklisted by almost all mainstream games.

Of course before that, I was a world-class athlete.

The event of the competition is: e-sports.

Whether it is an FPS shooting game or a MOBA real-time battle game.

Even card games have a place for me.

But now he has been banned from any competition in the world for 30 years.

Of course this is also my fault.

Things started in [-], when video games were officially called the ninth art in the world.

The Olympics also included video games as an event in the same year, on the last day of the 16-day Olympic Games schedule.Before the closing ceremony begins, there will be an extra day of competition for three of today's hottest games.

Also because of the addition of the Olympic Games, games are divided into two categories.

One category is suitable for the Olympics, and the other category is not.

Of course, since games have become works of art, the review department of games has become more and more strict.

Although monetized games are profitable, they are becoming increasingly unpopular, and all games must pass an Olympic rating.The quality of the rating depends on the future prospects of the game, and how to get a high rating.The game requires more competition and teamwork. The game must be about friendship, unity and fair competition.Only then can you get better ratings from the review team.

Because these requirements are also the spirit of the Olympic Games, and although there are still a small number of games that draw krypton gold, they still exist.However, this kind of game is almost not recognized, and no matter how fun it is, it cannot be ranked on the formal game rankings.

Of course, only games recognized by the Olympic Games and ranked in the top three can join the Olympic Games for competition.

Then the players represent the country and win, receive glory and bring glory to the country.

This is a small step for traditional sports to give way to e-sports, and it is also a big step for e-sports to officially enter the human stage.

Of course, games at this time also began to be divided into PC, mobile and handheld terminals.

The full platform has become the basic configuration of these games, and various related industries have also burst out.

In 16, I was [-] years old and a professional player of six mainstream games.

My talent allows me to pick up a game almost easily and discover shortcuts inside the game.

Since games no longer cost money, many mathematical geniuses have come up with strategies by converting game data and analyzing them.

And my talent is about the same, I don't have any calculations.

But I can almost easily tell the flow and the shortcuts in the process.

Because of the Olympic Games, quotas were given to three game competitions, and because of the review of the Olympic Games, all three games are team cooperation games.

Of course they also have a single player mode, but in order for more people to participate.

In addition, only one day was given, so the competition mode became a team battle and individual competition was cancelled.

This made me very embarrassed.

My level can replace any of these professional gamers, but coordination is my weakest point.

I also joined a team, but I couldn't get through the three-month running-in period.

Even professional players can't understand my tactics and can't keep up with my arrangements.

When they think my tactic is not working, I always propose a solo.

Yes, I never lost once.

This gap seems to be getting bigger and bigger because of this, but it makes me miserable trying to cooperate with them.My stats are never bad according to my gameplay, but we always lose more than we win.

I win because I am alone, and I lose because I am outnumbered.

After a few times, I was left alone.

I knew that mediocrity would isolate genius, but later I realized that this isolation is not only reflected in games.

During the six months I was a professional player, I won championships for the club in various informal single-player competitions.

But the official games are almost all team games, with only some fighting and card games.

The combat in these games is too bloody, and the cards are too luck-based.

The Olympic Games do not recognize such competitions at all and will not give them excessive ratings.

The consequence of the niche will only be its gradual demise, along with me.

Three years later, at the age of 19, I completely left professional esports.

I discovered a new way, which is to resell game accounts.

It almost only takes me three days to get an account into the top five and then resell it.

I live stream and have a lot of fans and money.

But I had no friends and was isolated from almost everyone.

Because I violated the regulations and even the spirit of sportsmanship by reselling the game.

I was banned from the sport for a full 30 years and could not be dismissed.

A lot of people said my career was ruined, but what they didn't know was that I was still playing games.

I'm also happy and I make a lot more money than I did as an athlete.

Although I have a bad reputation, the title of the world’s number one e-sports player still belongs to me.

No matter what new game, I get involved much faster than others.

Any new game can be seen in the game rankings within a few days, and it is even common to take the first place seriously.

But because of the suspension, more and more people are laughing at me.

I decided I had made enough money, so I bought a small single apartment in the city center.

That day I turned on the TV and saw Lei Jun.

"Are you ok?" Lei Jun, who is in his 70s, appeared at the Xiaomi press conference with a smile.

I didn’t change the channel. I watched TV and thought that Xiaomi seemed to be no longer just making mobile phones.

I seem to have played several games from Xiaomi.
Lei Jun smiled and waved, "Our Xiaomi company invented the No. 60 third-generation smart housekeeper this year."

"Virtual character 3D projection technology can interact with any smart home appliance. Private voice recognition, real-time heart rate monitoring, emergency alarm service, and even smart butlers will automatically buy and cook food... Let's compare smart butlers from other homes. , isn’t it very cheap?... We also have professional Xiaomi designers who can make earth-shaking smart changes to your home... If you buy it now, there is also a limited edition bright silver exploration version. It’s only twice the price of the regular version... Do you want a friend? Xiaomi Functional Butler. It will be your best friend." After Lei Jun finished speaking, he waved his hand and grabbed the crutch and left the stage.

I actually watched the entire half-hour press conference for this device.

To be honest, I didn't really understand it.

But the last sentence is deeply imprinted in my mind: Do you want friends?Xiaomi Function Manager.It will be your best friend.

I subconsciously opened Xiaomi's official website, and it was on pre-sale.

Can you spend money to make friends?Besides, I'm not short of money.

After looking at the price of hundreds of thousands, I will replace all the equipment in my home.

I clicked on the reservation service and waited with peace of mind.
