Rise

Fujian Province, Nanzhou City, Lecheng Internet Cafe.

Almost all the machines in the lobby are playing the battle interface of the League of Legends game Summoner's Canyon, and all kinds of yells come and go, "Flash, flash", "Fuck, I was single-killed by the opponent again!" ", "Up and down this wave I reap".

The atmosphere of the entire Internet cafe seemed extremely noisy and lively.

And some Internet cafe customers just finished the last ranking battle, and now they are waiting for the next round with Kaihei friends, they yelled at the top of their voices to ask the network administrator to bring two bottles of drinks, and then happily Continuing to chat with my companion about the gossip that has been uploaded on the Internet in the past two days:

"Hey, have you heard that there is also a league on the Japanese server?"

"Nonsense, the post forums have been full of discussion posts on this for a long time. It seems that the team club in Japan has even issued a recruitment order to recruit foreign players."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know which great god will be pulled over."

"It's reasonable, the professional team of Little Japan must get a lot of money. Last time a friend of mine went to the Japanese server, he swept all the Platinum divisions."

"Hahaha, what the fuck, can diamond players like us apply for professional teams?"

"Necessary, I heard that the price offered by the small Japanese team is very high. Ordinary second-tier players can start with hundreds of thousands of grades. If the first-tier league players can directly pay seven-figure prices, tsk tsk If I was a professional, I would just agree to it, how comfortable it is to make easy money~"

Just at this time, the young man from the network management came over with two bottles of soda, and when he put down the soda bottles, he heard the conversation between the two guests, and the corners of his mouth twitched:

"Professional players must think the same as you."

"The e-sports circle should be abolished."

There was a carelessness in his tone.

The two Internet cafe customers were a little uncomfortable, and they squinted at the young man who was in charge of the network, but didn't say anything. They didn't whisper until the other party turned around and left:

"Tsk tsk, isn't he just a network administrator, what an awesome fart."

"That's right, why do you say that the e-sports circle will be abolished? Who does he think he is?"

"If you can't eat grapes, say grapes are sour. How much money can a network administrator make? Really give him a sky-high professional contract.

Why don't you just go there? "

The young network administrator who hadn't gone far heard the disdainful discussion behind him, and didn't turn around and chose to go back to reason or explain, but the corners of his mouth curled up a slight sarcasm

make money?

Sky-high contract?

If he really wanted to go for the money, he would not have made that choice back then.

If it is true that everything is just for making money, how can he continue to be such an ordinary little broken network administrator now?

...

Magic City, Shanghai.

A team club in the LSPL League One.

Just finished a training match, the first team and the second team members of the club came out of the meeting room talking and laughing, only one person was left behind, he was scolded by the team leader for a long time, at this moment I was also ordered to stay and clean the conference room.

"Lao Li, clean it up, and tidy up the living room along the way."

"Oh, by the way, go out later and help me buy a pack of cigarettes."

"It just happened to bring me some barbecue."

"Hurry up, hey, old Li, can't you be quicker with this movement?"

The members of the first team and the second team kept commanding and ordering, as if they were impolitely treating the teammate named Lao Li as a servant, and the old Li could only nod his head and face. Shang forced out a smile and responded again and again:

"Okay okay."

"knew."

"I'll go after cleaning."

"Then hurry up! Everyone here is hungry!" A team member of the first team scolded dissatisfiedly, and Lao Li quickly turned his head to accompany the smiling face: "Okay, it will be soon."

Seeing the hard work of a team member named Lao Li busy cleaning in the conference room alone, all the other team members sitting on the sofa in the living room outside were all laughing, and someone glanced into the conference room again, curled his lips:

"Tsk, how old is Lao Li this year?"

"Twenty-four or five? It looks almost forty."

Another team member answered and teased: "It's not just that he's old, I saw him play top laner, and his operation is like a 40-50-year-old man. His reaction speed is so fast that I'm blinded." .”

"He can come to play in the training match, as a sparring partner or something."

"I don't think he's good enough to be a sparring partner. It's too easy to abuse him. There's no sense of accomplishment at all."

"Hey, I don't know why the club still keeps him."

"Don't tell me, Lao Li heard that he was the main force of the first team in the team back then, but he didn't perform well and then fell to the second team and then fell to the second team as a substitute. He probably didn't have you when he was so good. .”

Such a sentence came out of the crowd, and another member of the second team next to him seemed to think of something:

"Hey, I seem to have heard about Lao Li."

"Who said it at the time... said that Lao Li was still in the LPL before, and he played professionally in the S1 season?"

Immediately, others despised it: "LPL shit, there was no such name in the S1 season."

"Hahaha Lao Li can also play LPL? Then I can be the world champion!"

There was another roar of laughter.

In the conference room, a team member named Lao Li was hard at work cleaning and cleaning. He was hunched over with some difficulty, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. The discussions and laughter from the living room outside entered his ears without any hesitation. , making his hand holding the broom tighten subconsciously.

His knuckles were a little white from the exertion.

It was as if he lowered his head and didn't want others to see his pale face and gloomy expression.

...

Fujian Province, a small town next to Xiamen City.

A three-wheeled motorcycle stopped in front of a convenience store, and the old man on the motorcycle yelled at the store:

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, it's in stock!"

In front of the counter in the store door, a simple-looking young man quickly stood up and said, "Here we come!"

The old man picked up two pieces of mineral water from the rear trailer box of the motorcycle and handed them to the young man: "Here, take it, be careful, it's heavy."

The simple young man reached out to take two large pieces of mineral water. The heavy weight caused his arms to sink slightly, and then he grinned: "It's okay, Lin Bo, let's rest next to you. I'll just come."

The old man Lin Bo smiled and nodded, watching the young man praise and praise:

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, you are still a caring child and know how to take care of others. I don't know which girl can enter your house in the future, but you are lucky!"

The young man smiled shyly:

"My family is poor, and I can't make much money from a small shop, so no one will be interested in it."

Lin Bo waved his hand: "That's not true. No one in the neighborhood knows about Xiao Zhou's character. You are so tough. You are upright and energetic. You are a good boy. Which girl would not like you when she sees you? Oh, if not Xiao Zhou before you"

He was talking enthusiastically, and suddenly seemed to realize something, Lin Bo stopped his mouth all of a sudden, and laughed a little awkwardly:

"Ah, nothing nothing."

"Old man Lin Bo, who doesn't say anything out of his mouth, don't take it to heart, Xiao Zhou."

Saying this, Lin Bo subconsciously glanced at the young man's right hand, and then quickly looked back.

The young man was silent for a while, and then a simple smile appeared on his face again:

"It's okay."

"It's all over."

"Some things are fate, I have to admit it."

He said it calmly, but the young man's right hand, which was dragged under the two mineral water tanks, trembled slightly.

It was a hand full of calluses.

Very ordinary.

It's just that, where the index finger and thumb should be, there is a small part suddenly missing, which looks a little funny.

And the indescribable heaviness and desolation.

The update is here, this chapter is a bit difficult to write, good night friends.
