It's time for me to play

In a noisy Internet cafe, a slightly fat man was walking towards his seat with instant noodles filled with boiling water.There was not enough light in the room, and he walked absent-mindedly, and he was not small, so when he passed through the narrow aisle, he accidentally bumped into a seat that was a bit farther back.

He hurriedly protected the instant noodle bowl in his hand, looked down, but luckily the water didn't spill out.The fat man was relieved, and apologized to the man: "Sorry, I didn't see it."

"fine."

The person in that position answered casually.

The fat man thought his voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.He glanced at the man's screen and found that he was watching the latest entertainment game of the Dawn Professional League.

"You watch the live broadcast too." He regained his energy and said casually, "Today happens to be the match between IOL and the Black Fox team, which is quite interesting."

"Yeah. The IOL is good."

That person is probably acquainted, and he doesn't care if the other party is a stranger, and he can chat casually: "The cooperation of the whole team is much smoother than that of the Shanhai Cup last time. Besides, they are running well in this lineup now." That’s right, the black fox’s chances of winning this hand are very narrow.”

"I also think that the current 2:0 feels that the IOL is quite stable." I didn't expect the other party's analysis to be quite professional.Fatty felt that he had met a bosom friend, and couldn't help nagging, "I just don't know if I can make it to the final."

"If the whole team performs normally, I think it will be no problem to advance to the semi-finals. Xie Yingshen's personal strength is there, and the rookie's performance is also very stable. In these entertainment games and these teams, IOL is considered a first-tier team. No matter what Make it to the semi-finals."

He spoke in a loud tone, the fat man thought, is this person an IOL fan like him?

But auspicious words are comfortable for anyone to hear. He looked at the game on the screen and said comfortably: "Hell, if IOL can enter the finals, I will definitely buy a ticket to watch it. The environment of the Internet cafe is too bad. It feels like staying up all night to watch the game." It's almost day and night..."

He said and yawned: "It's a pity that 9DS should have been in the finals, otherwise the competition would have been more exciting."

"Yes." The man paused for a while before speaking.

He kept lighting a cigarette in his hand. After smelling it for a while, the fat man felt that the smell was too disturbing for him to eat noodles, so he took the bowl and went back to his seat.

The man holding the cigarette was silent for a while, took out his muted phone, and couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw the power on it that had entered emergency mode due to too many incoming calls.

"Who says it's not a pity..." He sighed, finally put out the cigarette, walked to the front desk with his slippers on and asked the boss to rent a power bank...

Xie Yingshen walked out of the competition hall, and the sunlight slanted down from outside, causing him to squint his eyes.

It was already very hot in August, and as soon as he left the gymnasium, Lu Beibei was hit by the oncoming heat.He lifted the corner of the team uniform jacket hanging on his arm and fanned it, while looking at the second peripheral bag on their captain's back, he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yingshen asked casually when he saw Little Curly's expression when he turned around.

"Captain...you are carrying two bags, are they heavy?"

After so many years, this was the first time he saw the captain take the initiative to give backpacks to the team members.

Chu Xinghuai played well this time, and won two MVPs, and because he was a rookie in the team, he was given a single pick.This person was called away by the coach for an interview, so his bag was naturally placed in the lounge.

Originally, it would be okay for everyone to wait and go back together, but Xie Yingshen had to go back to the base first, so Lu Beibei saw him pick up the other party's peripheral bag very naturally, and carried it away by himself.

"?" Xie Yingshen glanced at him inexplicably, obviously thinking that this question was too stupid, and didn't even bother to answer it.

Lu Beibei struggled for a while, and really wanted to ask him if he could carry the bag for himself in the same way next time. After all, it was still very hot in August, and it was still quite hot to carry this bag.

But before he had time to speak, Xie Yingshen's cell phone rang suddenly.The other party showed a surprised expression when he saw the call.Then he explained a few words to them and left alone.

Que, who was beside him, seemed to see what he was thinking, and patted him on the shoulder: "Fat people like to sweat, we don't discriminate against body shape, let's lose weight first."

Lu Beibei gave him a kick, and looked at the back of his captain leaving with two bags on his back, sweating with envy.

When Chu Xinghuai came out, Xie Yingshen just hung up the phone.

"Why didn't you leave?" He came over, looked around and asked strangely, "Where are they?"

"They're leaving first. I answered a call," Xie Yingshen paused for a moment. There was no one around, so he leaned over and whispered, "It's Luo Shu."

Chu Xinghuai opened his eyes wide.

"He said he was in an Internet cafe in our area, and asked me if I could help him. His card was frozen, and he didn't have any money for meals. Now there is only money left on his phone for going to the Internet cafe to sleep. .”

"So serious?" Chu Xinghuai said in surprise.

"Go and see the situation with me." Xie Yingshen thought for a while, "Let's change into clothes and take a taxi."

The two hurried back to the base to put down their things, greeted the coach and left.

They invited him to a small restaurant next to the Internet cafe, and after opening the curtain and entering the box, they finally saw the former captain of the 9DS team who had "disappeared" on the Internet for several days.

"Why did you think of contacting me?" Xie Yingshen entered the door and sat down and asked straight to the point, "I said you are not in such a mess, are you?"

Although he knew that Luo Shu had a hobby of going to Internet cafes to play games, but now his hair was messy, his clothes were not changed, and he smelled like cigarettes, obviously he had been in the Internet cafes for several days.

"As for, why not." Luo Shu was not polite to them, and ordered a lot of dishes from the menu.He took out his cigarette and thought about it, but he didn't light it up, "I only have half a pack of cigarettes left in my pocket, and it's still the cheapest Shuangye brand."

After he finished speaking, all three of them laughed.

"That's really a bit embarrassing. Where are the two people in your team? Didn't find you?"

The relationship between Luo Shu, Lin Qi and Song Guangzhu is pretty good.Although Song Guangzhu is a Korean aid, Luo Shu has always taken care of him, and Luo Shu personally taught his Chinese.

"I don't know, I can't contact them. I don't know how they are now. I also want to care about them," Luo Shu sighed and laughed at himself, "But I have been the captain for several years, I didn't expect to be able to get to where I am now. ——I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I cannot protect myself.”

"what happened?"

Luo Shu shook his head and did not answer his question, but lit the ashtray in front of him with a cigarette: "How much do you know about the commercial endorsement brand Xihua signed by our 9DS?"

Such a coincidence?

Chu Xinghuai and Xie Yingshen looked at each other, and Xie Yingshen said tentatively, "Not much, I know it's a luxury brand with a bad reputation. Didn't you sign it at the end of last year? It was quite popular at the time."

He still remembered that when he went to participate in the interview in the live broadcast room, he opened a magazine on the table and saw the picture of Luo Shu wearing a suit on the inside page, and the corner of his eye twitched.

"Yeah, it's very popular. Their investment was very rich at the time," Luo Shu said with a wry smile, "Even our advertisement was shown on the 1 per minute LED screen in the center of City P."

"It is also the massive placement of these advertisements that bind our 9DS and Xihua brands together."

"When you mention Xihua now, people probably think of our team first." Luo Shu seemed to be a little emotional, but he still didn't light a cigarette in the end. Chu Xinghuai saw him repeatedly rubbing the cigarette filter in his hand, "We It was signed for five years. If something happened to Xihua, it is estimated that our commercial value will come to an end."

"Why so long?" Xie Ying frowned deeply.

The endorsement of the general team will be signed for half a year to three years, but most of them are signed every year.One is because the player’s golden period is too short, and the commercial value is different from one year to the next; the other is because many new players emerge every year, and the team also changes quickly. In case the team changes new players during the transfer period, Wouldn't it be embarrassing to still have the previous advertisements?

"A lot of money." Luo Shu said succinctly, "It's so much that our boss can't refuse."

"..."

Chu Xinghuai said, "So, your leaving the team now has something to do with Xihua?"

"Because they didn't close the door tightly during the meeting that day, I heard them discuss with the boss that the team will buy a new mid laner after the game." Speaking of this, Luo Shu couldn't help but curse, "Song Guangzhu is the language There are some problems, but there is nothing wrong with his style of play. Besides, the mid laner who I have been teaching for more than a year is going to be replaced like this, and whoever is replaced will not be angry."

"Although I also know that this is how commercial teams replace new players. But just as I wanted to go in and discuss it, I heard the name of the mid laner. Guess who it is?"
