There's a trash-talker in the esports scene who has a foul mouth but excellent skills. They've made countless enemies in the professional circle, living on hot searches 366 days a year, wit...
It was still the offseason, so Jiang Zhi wasn't in a rush to report to ITG. Except for class time, Jiang Zhi spent almost the entire day at Zhou Suihe Internet Cafe playing League of Legends.
Even the Internet cafe owner Zhou Suihe couldn't stand it anymore. She carried two bottles of Sprite to the second floor, the live broadcast room that Jiang Sui had prepared for Jiang Zhi.
As soon as I walked in, I took a quick look around and couldn't help but complain: "What kind of taste does that bastard have? It's so rubbish. I thought I was in a children's castle when I first walked in."
Jiang Zhi said nothing. She turned around and took the drink from Zhou Suihe's hand, unscrewed the cap, took a few sips, and said, "It's okay. I'm quite satisfied."
Seeing Jiang Zhi talking to her, Zhou Suihe quickly sat down on the gaming chair next to her and turned Jiang Zhi's chair so that they were facing each other. "Zhizhi, your Grand Empress Dowager really agrees with you playing games."
Jiang Zhi's mouth froze for a second, then he moved the bottle away from his lips, saying frankly, "I guess so."
Jiang Zhi lacked confidence and seemed to be doubting what she said.
Zhou Suihe: "What do you mean by 'consider it'? It's such a simple matter that if you agree, you agree, and if you disagree, you disagree. How can there be an option like 'consider it'?"
"My mom told me not to come home if I don't get the grades... I think she agrees," Jiang Zhi continued. "Even if she doesn't agree, then just assume I've had enough of pretending and want to be myself. Don't you support me?"
Zhou Suihe: "I told you, you should have done this a long time ago. With your talent, you might not be the king of the LPL, but you'd definitely be a feared force. You'd be missing out if you didn't become a professional player."
Jiang Zhi was amused by her, but she curled her lips and said nothing.
Zhou Suihe: "Which team do you want to join?"
Jiang Zhi answered without hesitation: "ITG."
"ITG? Am I crazy or are you crazy?" Zhou Suihe's mind was spinning rapidly. He felt that what he said was not very nice, so he added, "Although ITG is your father's company, I don't think you really need to go there."
"Why?"
"A few days ago, ITG officially announced that Bill and Mia were leaving the team. If you seamlessly integrate into the team, Bill's fans will think you squeezed him out and they will tear you apart!"
Jiang Zhi doesn't usually pay attention to Weibo, but Zhou Suihe is a top Weibo 5G surfer.
The fact that Zhou Suihe could say this shows that a small number of conspiracy theorists on Weibo have already started spreading rumors.
Jiang Zhi thought Zhou Suihe would talk about the ITG team configuration problem, but she turned out to be talking about this.
Jiang Zhi calmly asked, "Who do you think has more fans, Bill's fans or my haters?"
"Nonsense, of course..." Zhou Suihe added, thinking of Jiang Zhi's tendency to be trolled and trending on the headlines just by randomly saying her ID, "Forget it, you have haters all over the league. Being trolled is like scratching an itch for you."
Before Jiang Zhi could say anything, her cell phone suddenly rang twice.
Someone sent her a message on WeChat. She took a look at it and then replied with a smile on her lips.
Jiang Zhi's sudden happiness made Zhou Suihe a little confused: "Who sent you the message?"
Jiang Zhi didn't hide it: "Yin Nansheng."
Zhou Suihe: "! Yin Nansheng?"
Jiang Zhi replied without even looking up: "Yeah."
"Is he the only true god in the esports world?"
Jiang Zhi raised his head briefly and said, "He has a nickname that seems to be this."
Zhou Suihe felt like his worldview had collapsed.
Yin Nansheng, an LCK team analyst, is a man who has never appeared in the public eye but is known to everyone.
When he first entered the e-sports circle, many teams did not trust analysts, thinking that having a coach was enough and that analysts were a redundant role.
He interviewed with several LPL teams but was rejected by all of them. In the end, he had no choice but to go to the LCK region to seek a way out.
He originally thought that the LCK region would be different from the LPL region and he would have more opportunities, but it turned out not to be very friendly, and several teams he approached refused to sign him.
In the end, he had no choice but to join a second-rate team.
Before Yin Nansheng joined, the team always finished last and played supporting roles. But unexpectedly, within half a year of Yin Nansheng joining, the team had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Every time he would develop a complete system based on the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents, and he would also develop his own set of solid offensive techniques.
Thanks to Yin Nansheng's efforts, this bottom-tier team gradually rose to prominence. Eventually, this six-man team, which no one in the LCK region looked down upon, won the Grand Slam of LCK competitions within a year.
The whole world was in uproar.
Yin Nansheng became famous in one battle and was revered as the only true god of the League of Legends by League players.
His team has also become a top team in the LCK region.
That is the HG team that defeated ITG team in the S game.
"Fuck, Zhizhi, do you know Yin Nansheng?" Zhou Suihe was as shocked as if he was facing the sun rising in the west and setting in the east.
After hearing the news, Jiang Zhihui stared at Zhou Suihe in confusion: "Didn't I tell you?"
"No." Zhou Suihe shook his head.
"Oh, maybe I forgot."
Zhou Suihe: "How did you two meet?"
Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "One time, when I was playing games, he sent me a game invitation, saying that I was a good fit for their team's system and asked me to join HG."
Zhou Suihe: "Zhizhi, no, you can't stay in LPL."
Jiang Zhi was amused by Zhou Suihe's expression and laughed: "I don't plan to go there. I don't speak Korean. If I go, my teammates will affect my performance."
"That's fine," Zhou Suihe was about to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's not right, then why are you contacting him now?"
"I've thought about it carefully. Xing Changan is indeed very capable as ITG's coach, but his analysis of the team is inferior to Yin Nansheng's. Inviting Yin Nansheng to join ITG will definitely improve its strength."
"Recruiting someone from the opposite direction?" Zhou Suihe said helplessly, "They worked so hard to train HG into a world champion. How could he go to ITG just because of your invitation? And even if he did, the annual salary would definitely be shockingly high."
"But he agreed. Now he's going through the resignation process." Jiang Zhi held up the chat screen in front of Zhou Suihe and added, "And the annual salary he promised wasn't very high, it was average, about the same as my current annual salary."
Zhou Suihe flipped through the phone screen with her index finger and saw the chat history between Jiang Zhi and Yin Nansheng. She still couldn't believe it: "You are not meeting a scammer, are you?"
"No, it's a real person. We've played games a few times."
Zhou Suihe: “…”
Zhou Suihe: "After playing games a few times, someone ran from the LKC region to the LPL region just for you?"
Jiang Zhi: "No, he's not that sentimental."
Zhou Suihe: "Then how did you persuade him?"
Jiang Zhi: "I only said four words."
“To bring glory to the country.”
By the time Jiang Zhi and Zhou Suihe came downstairs, it was almost evening.
Thinking that she had just taken a leave of absence, Jiang Zhi had to go back to the dormitory and say goodbye to her roommates.
After all, by the time she returned to school, her roommates had already graduated countless times.
Jiang Zhi went downstairs and before she even left the house, she saw a group of people standing in front of the most conspicuous computer on the first floor.
She poked Zhou Suihe beside her and asked, "Did you hire someone like that?"
"Bullshit, I don't have the money for this kind of stuff."
Jiang Zhi: "Yeah, if you have money to hire them, you might as well buy a few more tickets to the game and come see me."
Zhou Suihe: "Why should I go see you?"
Jiang Zhi: "Proof of our sisterhood...it's pretty plastic."
Zhou Suihe: “…”
Jiang Zhi didn't want to get involved in other people's business. When she and Zhou Suihe walked to the door without turning around, the network administrator at the front desk trotted over to them and said, "Boss, boss, you finally showed up. Something big happened in our internet cafe."
Zhou Suihe stopped and asked, "What's the big deal?"
The network administrator looked around and made sure that there was no one else around except the three of them before he whispered, "Bill is in our internet cafe."
Zhou Suihe replied calmly, "It's free advertising, so why not? Even though this ad might damage our internet cafe's reputation, it doesn't matter. Did he pay for it?"
"I wish he was a living advertisement," the network administrator said, looking around a few times, "He was drunk and bumped into a little girl, and even insisted on playing games with her, saying... saying..."
"What?" Zhou Suihe lost his patience. "Don't be afraid. Just tell me. Bill's fans around here want to beat you up. I'll beat them down."
"He said that if the girl couldn't beat him, she would have to sleep with him."
Jiang Zhi frowned, very unhappy.
Zhou Suihe was furious. "Hey, I have such a bad temper, and a maggot who fixed a match has the nerve to ask for compensation. If I don't beat him up, he'll be in big trouble. He won't know why the flowers are so red."
"Boss, this is a legitimate internet cafe, not a taekwondo gym," the young network administrator kindly reminded, "hitting people is illegal."
Zhou Suihe: “…”
Jiang Zhi was much calmer than Zhou Suihe. She asked, "What is the competition system?"
Network administrator: "Best of ten."
Jiang Zhi: "How many games have you lost now?"
Network administrator: "We've lost eight games, and the ninth game has just begun."
The people around were discussing in low voices, but no one went up to help.
Jiang Zhi walked into the crowd and stood on tiptoe to look inside. Through the heads of people, Jiang Zhi could only barely see two lit screens.
She looked at the two people who were competing inside. Bill appeared on the Internet all year round, so it was hard for Jiang Zhi not to recognize him.
The girl sitting next to him was petite and her body was shaking with fear. Although he could only see her profile, Jiang Zhi recognized her at a glance - Lin Xia.
She is a girl who is obsessed with League of Legends. She was also the girl who refuted the troublemaker with all her might when Jiang Zhi and Shen Weiqi first came to Zhou Suihe's Internet cafe and said that girls were not good at playing games.
Jiang Zhi shook his head helplessly.
Shouldn't this little girl go burn some incense to change her luck? Why does she always run into these top-tier gangsters?
As Bill's equipment became more complete, Lin Xia's disadvantage became greater and greater. Seeing his crystal being pushed, Lin Xia's mentality collapsed.
She lay on the table and sobbed.
Bill said in a nonchalant tone: "Don't cry, your makeup is ruined, brother doesn't love you anymore."
I don’t know if it was because he was drunk or if that was just the way he spoke, but this man had a golden, greasy feel to him.
Jiang Zhi always felt that he could not squeeze as much oil out of peanuts as he could.
The people around him were angry but dared not speak out, and could only record the video silently, hoping to expose Bill's crimes on the Internet later.
No one helps me, and I can't beat Bill.
Lin Xia felt extremely helpless.
"Do professional players feel a sense of accomplishment when they bully ordinary players? If you have the time, why not go back to the novice zone and bully the noobs?"
Suddenly, an arrogant and provocative voice sounded from behind the crowd.
Bill impatiently turned his gaming chair to look at the source of the sound: "Who is it?"
No one in the crowd in that direction dared to step forward, and they all hid to the sides, leaving a narrow aisle.
At the end of the aisle stood a person. She swept her wavy, dark brown hair back and tucked it behind her ears, smiling kindly, "Who else could it be? Me."
