What is a wandering mid laner?

Before he finished speaking, PDD interrupted him, "Let's add a WeChat first, and I'll go to Suzhou tomorrow. Whether it works or not, can we find a place to meet and talk?"

Now that the words have come to this point, Lin Ran can't think of any reason to refuse.

After hanging up the PDD call, Lin Ran lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, his thoughts racing, the barrage kept flashing back and forth in front of his eyes.

Instead of playing professionally and making a name for yourself, why don't you stay here as a small anchor?

After sleeping until noon the next day, Lin Ran was woken up by a phone call.

"Hello, hello?" He answered the phone and said in a daze.

The man on the other end of the phone could hear the sleepiness in Lin Ran's tone, and couldn't help but start rambling.

"What time is it and you are still sleeping. You don't need to study when you are in the third year of high school. Before you insisted on broadcasting any live broadcasts, I could bear it. You promised me that you would not delay your studies!"

Lin Ran was still in a dazed state. He glanced at the caller ID and realized that it was his father who was far away in Shenzhen.

Lin Ran rubbed his eyes, the sunlight outside the window was blocked by thick gray curtains, and the room was still dark.

"I sent the monthly exam report card to your mailbox yesterday, you didn't miss it, did you?"

"I improved a few points compared to last semester's final exam." He rolled over and got up, yawning, "But it's true, a busy person like you who doesn't go home once a month, probably doesn't have much interest in reading."

The man was choked by these few words, and his attitude was still stern, "I know how well you use your brain. You didn't study hard at all, otherwise how could you fail the exam..."

Chapter 005: Career Opportunity

Lin Ran scratched his head, he turned on the speakerphone, opened the bathroom door, and looked at his face in the mirror.

Because he inherited his parents' good looks, Lin Ran has to look in the mirror every morning - it's convenient for him to get out of the sleepy state quickly.

Looking at the young man with sword-browed and star-eyed eyes in the mirror, his face was fair and clean, and his jaw line was perfectly curved, Lin Ran pinched his cheeks in satisfaction.

"...You study hard for me, do you hear me?" the father on the other end of the phone said in a serious tone after finishing his daily lecture.

Lin Ran's mouth was full of toothpaste foam, and he hung up the phone after hastily answering twice.

PDD sent a WeChat message at this moment, asking him to meet and discuss in detail at [-]:[-] pm. The location was set at a McDonald's in the center of Suzhou. The distance between Shanghai and Suzhou is not far, and it takes less than an hour to get there by high-speed train.

But this also shows the sincerity of PDD.

Lin Ran opened the closet and found a white sweater. The black trousers made his legs look slender. No one liked wearing a hat. He put on his earphones and left the room.

He is usually alone in a house close to [-] square meters. His mother died young, and his father is a senior wage earner in a communication technology company.

Lin Ran didn't want to go step by step according to the future planned by his father. He felt that there was a rebellious blood hidden in his bones. He had no interest in studying. The live broadcast two months ago was just a whim of resistance.

To his surprise, his father agreed.

It was only two o'clock when we arrived at the agreed place, and Lin Ran ordered a double-layer cheeseburger set meal. After three or two bites, he leaned on the chair, sipped a Coke, and watched the street view outside the window.

Just after 02:30, a huge man squeezed through the door of the fast food restaurant.

Lin Ran recognized PDD at a glance, and had to admit that a person of this size walked on the street more frequently than the handsome and eye-catching himself.

As soon as he stood up, PDD noticed the handsome and striking Lin Ran in the corner. He stepped forward, stretched out a chubby hand, and sized Lin Ran up and down with his round eyes.

The moment he saw Lin Ran, his eyes lit up.

He's so handsome, PDD thinks it's a good way for this kid not to play e-sports to become a movie star.

After sitting down, he cut to the chase.

"Have you thought about the question I asked you this morning?" PDD put the briefcase in his hand on the table and asked, "What is your future career plan?"

"Do you want to be an anchor?"

"Still be a student and find a job after college?"

Lin Ran was silent for a while.

"Are you doing well in your studies?" PDD asked a question that seemed to him very heart-wrenching. When he was a child, these questions had pierced his young heart countless times.

"It's pretty average." Lin Ran always said something, "Is it possible to get a 985?"

PDD regained his energy after hearing the first half of the sentence, but was shocked by the second half of Lin Ran's sentence.

"I... let me tell you this."

PDD originally wanted to start with the more worrying achievements of the Internet-addicted teenagers, but Lin Ran's previous remarks made Fat Dudu immediately change his strategy.

"With your talent, it would be a pity to be an anchor, and I also learned about it on the way to Suzhou today. Your performance as an anchor is relatively average. In other words, the effect of the show is not good."

This Lin Ran also admitted that he has not yet found a way to interact well with the barrage, for fear that his sharp words will hurt the audience.

"Look at the current top anchors on the platform. They are either former professional players, or entertaining anchors who have a good live broadcast effect and can make meme. Which category do you think you belong to?"

PDD was open and honest, telling Lin Ran the pros and cons one by one.

"So in my opinion, being a professional is a very suitable path for you. If you become famous and come back to be an anchor, you will gain a countless audience base, and then you will gain both fame and fortune."

"Sounds good," Lin Ran felt his heart flutter, he pondered for two seconds and raised his head to look at his chubby round eyes, "But are you sure I can make a name for myself in my career?"

"I can't be 100% sure," PDD replied, "I'm not going to lie to you either. The path of e-sports has always been dangerous and rewarding. You may waste your youth in this industry and do nothing, or you may become famous all over the world. .”

"Many people fell in the middle of the city hero competition, the LSPL secondary league, and the LPL league. They were also talented high-scoring kings, but the career and qualifying are very different, and it is not as simple as imagined. "

"But I'm sure you're different from them." PDD looked straight into Lin Ran's eyes and leaned forward slightly, "You're a genius."

Lin Ran was a little surprised by this evaluation. Although he was sure that he had a unique talent in League of Legends, and his classmates who usually played this game also said that he was a genius, but this sentence came from Chubby's mouth. After all, the gold content is different.

After all, the fat man sitting opposite him can be called one of the best retired players in LPL.

"If you put in enough effort, your talent is enough to support you in the LPL league."

"This time I'm not just here for you," PDD admitted frankly. "This morning I got the contact information of many passers-by with low age and high scores. I will go door-to-door to those who intend to play professionally."

"I also entrusted someone to handle the LSPL quota. I will probably buy a team with poor performance and change its name."

It's no secret, PDD wants to show Lin Ran his ability to execute. It has been less than a day since he made up his mind to form a team, and he has acted swiftly.

Lin Ran was well aware of all this.

PDD glanced at Lin Ran's handsome face, and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday you asked me why I want to form an alliance team..."

"Maybe it's because my career is not considered successful," PDD said again, "The best result in my career after several years of playing is only the quarter-finals of the S tournament. Although I won the domestic league championship, it is still poor Taste it."

"I thought about it for an hour before I called you early this morning. I left a lot of regrets when I was a player. Sometimes when I lost a game and went to bed at night, I would wonder if I didn't do enough details. If I didn't Does making a mistake mean that the final outcome will change?"

PDD smiled wryly, "After all, it's difficult to understand, but it's not a bad idea to regard them as the future goals of my professional team boss."

"I want to win the first league championship, the first international championship, and I want to engrave the club's name in the history of League of Legends."

When he said these words, the man's eyes were bright, like an unfinished dream in his youth.

"I'll go back and talk to my father," Lin Ran didn't express his opinion immediately, "I will contact you if there is a decision."

What PDD wanted was this sentence, he excitedly stretched out his hand to shake Lin Ran.

This is another good news for him to leave Shanghai. After retiring, he was engaged in the personnel work of an e-sports club for the first time, and Pang Dudu felt a little apprehensive.

PDD didn't stay in Suzhou for a long time. According to him, he will go to Weihai, where there is also a talented boy waiting for him.

Chapter 006: The road to the professional arena (LPL No. 006 retired)

Three days later in the evening, Lin Ran took out the key from his pocket with his schoolbag on one shoulder, opened the door of his house, and was greeted by the smell of meat.

A majestic middle-aged man was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. He looked quite similar to Lin Ran in appearance, but his temperament was more restrained and mature. He was Lin Ran's father, Lin Mingdong.

There are several delicate dishes on the dining table, steaming and fragrant.

"Are you back?" Lin Mingdong glanced at Lin Ran who had just entered the door, "Hurry up and change your clothes to eat."

Lin Ran took off his school uniform, washed his hands and returned to the kitchen, "Didn't I say before, don't put the dishes bought in the restaurant on the dishes in the future, but also wash the dishes again."

Whether his father would cook or not, Lin Ran knew very well that these delicately-shaped dishes did not come from him at first glance.

Lin Mingdong smiled awkwardly, and passed the chopsticks in his hand to Lin Ran.

"How's your life at school?" Lin Mingdong asked after hesitating for a while.

Lin Ran picked up a chopsticks with biscuit and shrimp, the color of the shrimp is the same as white jade, and the taste is fresh and tender, with a bit of tea fragrance, this kind of dish he usually can't eat.

"It's okay..." Lin Ran took a mouthful of rice, "I have something to report to you, I want to play professional e-sports."

"Professional e-sports?" Lin Mingdong stared at his son with frowned eyebrows. He has worked in Internet companies for many years and knows that e-sports is in full swing recently.

"Yes, a team has already come to me," Lin Ran said, "I plan to try."

"Eat first and talk later." Lin Mingdong was expressionless and did not make a clear statement.

This made Lin Ran feel agitated. Although the dishes Lin Mingdong brought back from the restaurant were delicious enough, he didn't feel like eating them. Even the Biluo shrimp, which he had always loved, was not delicious.

They both had their own concerns and had no appetite, so they washed the dishes and chopsticks in a hurry.

"Lin Ran," his father was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He looked a little tired. He took off his glasses and gently kneaded the bridge of his nose. "What do you think?"

"You want to play live broadcast for a while, I agree. As long as you survive the third year of high school, I will not stop you from playing more outrageous tricks in college." Lin Mingdong looked at the unpopular house with inexplicable eyes. Emotions flashed, "But not now."

"You think I'm just playing for tickets?" Lin Ran asked.

"Isn't it?" Lin Mingdong asked back.

Lin Ran pursed his lips tightly. The results he achieved in the live broadcast gave him no confidence to reply, "It's really not this time, I promise with my face."

"If you didn't make a name for yourself in your career," Lin Mingdong said with a bit of anger, "Retire in your 20s, what kind of job can you find?"

Lin Ran's lips moved, and he held back a word without saying a word.

With his looks, it's hard to find a job, and even if you can't find a job, you can find a rich woman.

Seeing that Lin Ran stopped talking, Lin Mingdong continued in a calm tone, "I don't deny that there are e-sports geniuses, they are naturally suitable for this bowl of rice, but are you?"

"I think I am." At this moment, Lin Ran finally raised his head, his gaze was firm, and he looked straight into Lin Mingdong's eyes.

"Give me a year. If I don't get famous, I'll come back and take another year of senior high school entrance exam," Lin Ran promised. "If I become famous this year, don't stop me."

Lin Mingdong looked at his son who was sitting across from him. Since he could remember, he had spent very little time by his side. He had been working hard for a living. Now he saw Lin Ran's handsome appearance, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Lin Ran's facial features combined the strengths of his parents, especially those eyes, which were clear and full of determination. Every time Lin Mingdong saw Lin Ran's eyes, he would always think of his wife.

But in the blink of an eye, Yin and Yang have passed away.

Lin Mingdong was in a trance for a while.

"One year," Lin Mingdong said in a hoarse voice, the same as when Lin Ranfei had to argue about doing the live broadcast two months ago, he compromised again, "If you don't succeed, then go back to study honestly and go to college."

"Lin Ran, remember, you must think carefully before doing things, and make a decision after thinking about it safely." Lin Mingdong dragged the suitcase into the bedroom, "You are now because I am behind you because you are young. If I am like you Did your mother pass away like this?"

Lin Ran didn't say a word.

With the consent of my father, all the processes were advanced quickly.

PDD has already rented the base and booked a high-speed rail ticket for him. He can go directly to Shanghai as long as he completes the formalities for suspending school here.

In the early morning of October 10th, the KOO team swept FNC 25:3 and joined another SKT from the LCK division in the final. This is also the first LCK league civil war since the League of Legends S series was held, and its dominance can be seen.

Lin Ran stayed up all night to watch the game. Even he had to lament the strength of the LCK division. They completely dominated this global finals. In contrast, the LPL division, which introduced a large number of Korean aid, only won the quarterfinals. Under the bitter self-knowledge.

The next day he got up early to deliver the suspension materials.

Lin Ran got off his bicycle in a loose black sweater, and walked into the school with other students. This is a provincial key old school with a long history. The architectural style is antique and has Suzhou characteristics. There is an ancient temple next door. According to legend, it was built by Fan Zhongyan.

"Lin Ran!" A clear female voice came from behind.

When Lin Ran turned his head, a beautiful girl in a white long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans greeted him.

Su Cheng, Lin Ran's old acquaintance, the two have been in the same class from elementary school to high school, and they have been at the same table for two years in junior high school, the relationship between the two parents is also quite good, and they know each other well.

"Are you really going to drop out of school?" Su Cheng looked worried, and the two walked to the campus together, "What kind of professional e-sports are you going to play?"

Unlike Lin Ran, Su Cheng has always had excellent grades. If she hadn't given Lin Ran supplementary lessons before the high school entrance examination, with his character of studying for three days fishing and two days posting nets, it would be impossible for him to be admitted to the key class of this school as a crane. tail.

Thanks to Su Cheng's supervision, Lin Ran managed to maintain his academic performance and did not fall out of key classes.

"That's right." Lin Ran nodded, took Su Cheng's heavy schoolbag and put it on the bicycle, "Go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."

"Is this reliable?" Su Cheng frowned, like an old mother worried about her son going on a long-distance travel, "I mean... your grades are not bad, and you can go to a key university with a normal college entrance examination."

At this time, it was just 2015, and the League of Legends competition was not as attractive as the later generations. Su Cheng had only watched Lin Ran play a few games, and was basically in a state of ignorance about it.

"Don't worry," Lin Ran reassured, "It's a big deal if you can't get the grades. If you come back and study hard for a year, you might be able to be your classmate with your intelligence."

"Your words make me not sure whether to continue to say the blessings." Su Cheng chuckled.
