When I Have Money

Chapter 80: Travel to Jakarta

   The flight time from Shanghai to Jakarta was six hours and forty minutes. Yang Kun checked his equipment and waited for boarding in the VIP lounge. In order for Yang Kun to choose direct flights, either Indonesian Airlines or domestic airlines, and these are medium-sized aircraft, only business class, not first class.

   In the end, Yang Kun chose a domestic airline. As for the legendary best ‘Singapore Airlines’ that needed a transit to Jakarta, Yang Kun found it troublesome!

   This time the e-sports game has been added to the Asian Games project, in fact, it is a kind of performance display nature, it can not be regarded as a real sports event.

   Of course there are still ‘medals’, but this e-sports is not a traditional sport. It does not have such a high gold content (honor). But from the point of view of reality (banknotes).. National athletes, it is true that top game players may not make so much money!

   After all, now is the era of ‘traffic’, and the ‘games’ that most young people pay attention to are also traffic. So the "transfer fee" of those hot game players is outrageous!

  It is mainly because of Yang Kun's generation, children born in the 1980s and 1990s, it can be said that ‘game’ has accompanied their youth growth. So this generation of young people loves'games' more, and in most of the boring moments, what everyone thinks about is playing games to kill time.

   It is precisely because of the public's love and attention to games that the game and related industries around the game have been growing rapidly... and the professionalization of e-sports is one of them!

   And this Asian Games is also an attempt, using e-sports as a sport... tentatively put on the stage. It's just that the ‘Olympics’ will not recognize ‘e-sports’ as a sport.

   But for people like Yang Kun who like games, if their own conditions permit, such a grand event is worth seeing. Whether it is the Asian Games or the upcoming "S8 World Finals".

While Yang Kun was drinking happy water in the quiet waiting room, a lot of people came in suddenly in the waiting room. They were wearing the sports uniforms of the national team.. Yang Kun thought about the national sports team. Should I have adapted to the site and climate long ago?

   As a result, Yang Kun glanced over.. The one in the team uniform was actually the representative player who went to Jakarta for the "League of Legends" this time. With a little surprise and excitement, Yang Kun shouted at them: "Chinese team, come on!"

   They listened to Yang Kun’s sudden "come on" and looked towards Yang Kun. Two people in the team knew about Yang Kun, but more people still didn’t. They responded politely: "Come on!"

  The contestant "Spicy Hot Pot" looked at Yang Kun and said in surprise: "Brother Kun?"

   Didn’t expect a game player to know himself? Yang Kun looked at the ‘fragrant pot’ with some surprises and said, “Fragrant pot, come on!”

   At this time, the team’s coach leader said: "Everyone rests for a while, there may be twenty minutes to board the plane."

  As they began to rest and waited to board the plane, Xiangguo smiled and came to Yang Kun's side: "Brother Kun, where is this going?"

   Yang Kun responded with a smile: "Go to Jakarta to watch your game. It is a rare opportunity for e-sports to be on the big stage. I must go to the scene to support you!"

   Xiangpan said: "We will perform well and strive to win medals!"

   While Yang Kun was chatting with the incense pot, the commentators also came. The commentaries for Jakarta this time were all men.. There is no ‘e-sports chair’, and no ‘Water Dragon Sister’. But Yu Shuang finally appeared, but she was not a commentator, she was the official host of the game.

Yang Kun watched the commentary and came to the waiting room. He took the initiative to walk over and chat with them: "Hello, I went to watch the game this time. I want to ask if the game broadcast rights were not taken. Are you there?"

  The official commentary said with a smile: "Well, I didn't get the broadcast rights, but the game official sent us to the scene to see it. Can the commentary be broadcast live?"

   The broadcasting rights of the Asian Games are purchased with money. It is possible that the broadcast cost of the other party's asking price is relatively high, and the domestic platform feels that it is a bit too bad to broadcast a section of "League of Legends".. In addition, this game is not officially included in the Asian Games project. Yes, it belongs to the exhibition exhibition game! So the platform doesn’t think it’s worth the money, right?

   (PS: I checked it out. The 2018 Asian Games e-sports event is a showcase event, not an official event. When winning the championship, the commentator also specifically stated, ‘Jakarta Asian Games "League of Legends" exhibition event, the champion is the Chinese team.’)

   The LPL official side still sent a briefing to go to the scene, and then I can see if I can find the loopholes? Open your own live broadcast room to do game commentary, not a formal commentary station.

   Listening to the commentary so dedicated, Yang Kun smiled and said, "It's really hard work for you!"

   The commentator responded: "The right to travel at public expense."

  ...

   The business class in the VIP lounge and the first class have boarded in advance. The players and commentators all gathered in the business class, after all, they belong to the public faction. The long-term flight economy class is either free travellers who don't have much money, or some tour groups.

   Two plus two business class layout, the overall spaciousness is still good, and can lie one hundred and eighty degrees, reducing fatigue during the flight.

After Yang Kun got on the plane early and sat down, he took out his mobile phone and started playing mobile games, because there was still some time before takeoff, and the players sitting around and the commentators chatted. Game-related content.

   Sitting next to Yang Kun was the official commentator. He smiled and said, "Brother Kun, have you arranged your hotel?"

   Yang Kun nodded in response: "Well, it's already arranged, Pullman. How about you and the players?"

The commentator said: "The players and us don’t live together. They have special accommodation arrangements. The pre-match tactics need to be kept confidential. We will arrange for the commentary to come back and repay the account at that time! By the way, this time the "League of Legends" exhibition , Did you get the invitation letter?"

   "Invitation letter? Do you not sell tickets?"

"I don't know, we will have an invitation letter at that time. Our side... wait, I ask Yu Shuang." The commentator turned to look at Yu Shuang who was sitting next to him: "Sister Shuang, the invitation letter, how much Is that right? Brother Kun, I want to go to the scene to watch the game."

Yang Kun bent down, looked at the game host Yu Shuang next to him, and said: "I don't want to see it, I just went to Jakarta specifically for this game. I thought the game side was like a traditional project. Selling tickets publicly?"

   Yu Shuang smiled and said, "It seems to be selling tickets, right? I don't know the specifics. If it is an invitation letter, then when I get the work card, I see if I can give you one more!"

   Yang Kun said with a smile: "Then I will first thank Sister Shuang. Why did you come alone this time, how about you Zeyuan?"

Sister    Shuang responded with a smile: "He was not invited. Our official side sent the three of us. I am actually their translator!"

   Because Yu Shuang is a bilingual host, she was officially sent to follow along this time. It is estimated that there are also language communication considerations. After all, the English of these two commentators is not very good.

   After waiting for the plane to take off, everyone slept for a while. After waking up, I felt that I would land in Jakarta soon.

   It was here at 3:30 in the afternoon when they arrived at the destination, and this time the contestants represented the country, so after they got off the plane, they were picked up by a vehicle arranged by the organizing committee and headed to the Asian Games Village.

Yang Kun and three official people were left standing at the exit of the airport. He saw that the person who arranged the pick-up at the hotel had arrived. At this time, they were waiting with a sign, so Yang Kun looked at the official person and said: "Have you found a good hotel? If you don't find a good one, go to the Pullman hotel where I stayed? I looked at the map. The hotel is in the city center. It will be convenient for you to get around."

   The commentator responded: "Pullman, this is too advanced, right? We are afraid that we can't reimburse so much?"

   Yang Kun said, "Uh, how about going to the city center together? My hotel is here to pick you up."

   "Won't trouble you too much, right?" Although they said so, the official side did not arrange for them. They can only find a place to live on their own. If they can take a ride to the city, of course it would be better.

   After Yang Kun went to the pick-up staff to express his information, UU reading www.uukanshu.com took the three of them to the hotel...

   The official group of them also discovered that Yang Kun's English level is very good. No wonder he can come to Jakarta alone.

   Along the way, they checked the hotel information, the international traffic was wasted a lot, but they didn't choose a good place. Because the daily amount of reimbursement for accommodation per person is not too large, they want to choose better conditions and cheaper prices, and they worry about insecurity when staying in a homestay overseas.

  After arriving at the hotel, the group got out of the car. They dragged their luggage to find the hotel, because Pullman's price exceeded their reimbursement limit.

   Yang Kun exchanged phone calls with them and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Because more people gather to eat together, it is more lively, and the number of meals that can be ordered should be larger, so that you can try more flavorful dishes.

   When Yang Kun checked in, there was a young lady from Europe and the United States who checked in with him. Her short brown hair completely ‘get’ to Yang Kun’s heart. She was very thin and tall, and she had at least ‘170CM’ visually. At this time she was wearing a floral dress and flat ladies sandals..

  While Yang Kun looked at her, she also looked back at Yang Kun, only to see that her face was completely the ‘slap face’ that Asians like. But her deep, three-dimensional facial features and tall figure in Europe and the United States give people the feeling of being a model lady from those magazines, very beautiful and sweet. Yes, she also belongs to the super sweet type, similar to Barbie..

   Yang Kun suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat, this is the real exotic style, compared to the beauty of the Western Regions, blond and blue eyes are more attractive!

   Is this the love luck bonus given by the system?
