The First Anchor of Rebirth [E-sports]

The night in early autumn was chilly, and the half-opened metal lattice windows shook in the wind, making subtle creaking noises.The dim street lamp shines mottledly through the tree shadows into the small old room, and hits the thin figure curled up on the bed by the window.

The man seemed to be sleeping very restlessly, with his back to the window, struggling unconsciously with his hands, and whimpering softly.

Suddenly, a heavy bang broke the silence of the night.

"Uh..." Yu Zheng woke up from the dream, unconsciously let out a heavy breath, he frowned, and was in a trance for a long time before pulling away from the dream to see the surrounding environment clearly.

What catches the eye is the old yellowed ceiling, and the cracked walls are stained with deep tones given by the night.The dim yellow light from outside the window draws thin long golden lines, reflecting on the army green ceiling fan leaves.The night wind came and disturbed the fan blades unexpectedly, and the light spots flashed by. He squinted unaccustomedly, pressed his chest with one hand, and panted to calm down.

Since he came to this place, the nightmare has never stopped its wanton infestation.Disputes with the players of the team, the notice of the temporary replacement of the manager, the medical certificate handed over by the doctor, the past images are like a revolving lantern, and they are lingering in my mind.

Yu Zheng rubbed his arms to drive away the chill, glanced down with his head, pulled his hands down the bed to reach the cell phone he swung unconsciously, and at the same time used his feet to hook the quilt that had rolled up to the end of the bed at some time, and pulled it over his body , slowly turned over, half stood up, leaned against the head of the bed and looked down at the window next to the edge of the bed.

On the street, there are still shadows of the last night's feasting and feasting. The white foam lunch box was blown by the autumn night wind and swirled and landed on the edge of the steps.Across the street are also rows of old residential buildings. Dusty moss has climbed up the brown mosaic brick wall, and part of it stubbornly sticks into the windows of the households, which is no different from where he lives.

Letting the unlocked glass windows squeak and sway slightly in the wind, Yu Zheng couldn't fall asleep for a while, staring at the dark gray rust gradually covered by green on the window sill.

He didn't understand why he came here, became another young life, intervened in a completely strange life.After a few days of being reborn in a daze, he gradually accepted his new identity.

The original body was still a few months away from becoming an adult. After her parents divorced four years ago, she was completely freed. She was self-reliant and barely finished her second year of high school. Then she came out to live in a rented house. While finding a small boutique to do part-time jobs, she took advantage of the meager free time at night. Do a live broadcast of the game.

Thinking of the original owner's game live recording, Yu Zheng smiled helplessly.

That's not a live broadcast, in his opinion, it's a slightly embarrassing self-talk.The game Yuanben chose was still a non-competitive slow-growing game. There was no intense match to attract the audience, and there was no way to deepen the interaction with the audience. It was even more impossible to make a living by doing so.

During the four to five months of opening the live broadcast room, at the peak period, it only attracted less than three-digit viewers. Apart from the 20 yuan per month to encourage newcomers, the other income was just a coin thrown by a viewer who thought his voice was good. as a reward.

The funny thing is that at that time, the original body was so happy that he took a screenshot and used it as a wallpaper, which was quite inspirational.

Yu Zheng thought of the landlord's rent urging text message he saw on the original owner's mobile phone, and couldn't help worrying about it.How can a coin be enough? If there is no income, he will have to move out next month, and he will face no fixed place.

By the way, when will the rent come...

Yu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked up his mobile phone, ready to read the text messages sent by the landlord a few days ago, wanting to reconfirm the lease term.

The old phone was delayed for a few seconds, and the screen finally lit up. Before the screen saver was erased, Yu Zheng saw countless new messages entering.

"Dear user, your account will be debited soon, and the current account balance is 6.12 yuan. In order to avoid downtime due to insufficient balance, please recharge in time..."

"Easy Payment reminds you: the current month's utility bill has been generated, and you can recharge with one click after logging in to the client..."

"Aiyo Live: Hello, anchor of 'Taro Yuan I Love You', the number of days of live broadcast in the current month does not meet the incentive conditions, and the settlement income is 0 yuan, including 0 yuan for encouragement, and 0 yuan for tipping. You have not yet obtained the contracted host of Aiyo Live Qualifications, log in to your account mailbox to view the invitation letter, and look forward to your application..."

"SAM Global Operations Center: Hello, our large-scale competitive game "The Seventh Absolute Mission (The Seventh Absolute Mission)" Asia-Pacific service area has now opened the download channel for the deleted internal test service. The operation center has confirmed that it has received your application email. Congratulations! get……"

Ben took a quick glance, and found the familiar abbreviation among countless payment notices.Yu Zheng was stunned in surprise, quickly clicked in in disbelief, and looked down word by word.

"...has obtained the qualification to experience the internal test service of the deleted file. Please check the email you reserved when you applied to receive the test code as soon as possible. The invitation is valid within 48 hours from the time this text message is sent. Load it into the SAM official website to download the deleted file in the Asia-Pacific region. Test server client, SAM thank you for your participation and support!"

Ben's body leaning against the head of the bed was tense, Yu Zheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath slowly, then burst out laughing.

He recalled a long time ago. At that time, the SAM US server was launched, and he also received such a text message after the application was approved. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.Later, he achieved outstanding results. As the first batch of SAM players, he was called into the trade union, and later, as a minority of Asian players, he was selected into the professional club of the US server.Then by chance, he became a guide and led the team to win the championship and was remembered by many players. Finally, he was betrayed by the team in his heyday, and he entered the late stage without a cure.

Yu Zheng held the mobile phone in one hand, and raised the other hand in front of his eyes, tossing and turning, his eyes were filled with emotion and warmth, and he couldn't help but put his hand to his mouth and kissed it reverently.He feels more and more that the original body has very good conditions to engage in e-sports, with a body that moves freely, flexible and slender fingers, and active thinking reactions...

I thought that the fate with SAM was over, but I didn't expect yesterday to reappear, and the relationship continued.

Following the link in the text message, Yu Zheng successfully loaded the official website page, and the familiar animation special effects rushed towards his face, a slender hand was hanging down on the gray-blue plain background, the three fingers were curled up, leaving only the thumb and index finger stretched, He vaguely drew out a symbol of seven, and pointed his fingertips at the gilt-toned game promotional words at the bottom of the screen.

"Produced by a 5A-level team, the SAM Asia-Pacific volume officially launched, a new picture roll and a new way of playing, cross-regional competition, thank you for having you!"

As soon as the screen turned, a mosaic poster of different colors slid out on the screen. Yu Zheng saw familiar characters on it, including the poisonous Garth with a strange identity in the United States and Australia, and the undead Yi Na, the ace output of the European and African regions...

But it was the girl in the middle that attracted his attention even more.

Against the dark red background, she was barefoot and short-dressed, with snow-skinned silver hair, and the silver token hanging around her waist was also stained with dust. There were vine-like red scars scattered on her skin not covered by clothes, as if she had just experienced a A brutal battle and torture.But she didn't seem to notice, with a round fiery red flower bud between the tips of one finger and a simple broken dagger in the other, her eyes were drooping and she couldn't see her face clearly, her life and death were unknown.

Yu Zheng was overwhelmed by the huge visual contrast, and obsessively read out the sound effect words under the figure picture.

"...Life is the only reward I can give you."

After only staying for a few seconds, the image of the character disappeared on the screen, replaced by several colorful scene pictures.

There are lava on the bottom of the sea that is emitting hot black smoke, dense and secluded forests that are haunted by evil spirits, and cityscapes that hang high above the blue sky... Sure enough, it is still a "high-fidelity, refined" development style. Several maps have different colors and are gorgeous and exquisite. , more than a dozen maps are determined by the development center as different fragments, which are consistent with the other two areas. Many fragments are unlocked one by one to form a complete scroll that can be connected with stories and character lines.

Yu Zheng has long been looking forward to SAM's long-prepared Asia-Pacific map. Looking at the completely different story settings and competitive methods from the other two regions, the sense of satisfaction suddenly rises along with the unbearable excitement.He hastily threw the quilt aside, and crawled towards the desk at the end of the bed, holding the phone in one hand and propping up the bed with the other.

A half-new and not old desktop computer was placed on a plastic folding table that was only an arm’s length higher than the bed. A pair of black headsets hung from the edge of the huge monitor, and the cords were messily stacked on the keyboard.

Yu Zheng quickly pressed the power button, then brushed away the ball of thread, bent down and reached for the router provided by the landlord under the bed, sat cross-legged and waited for the computer to turn on, looked at the lines of instructions across the blue screen, felt This start-up was extraordinarily long.Finally, when the desktop was loaded, Yu Zheng immediately typed in the link of SAM's official website, pulled down the page and found the installation entrance of the internal test server for the version, and clicked to confirm without hesitation.

Seeing the progress bar slowly getting longer, Yu Zheng realized that his palms were full of sweat, and he casually rubbed against the quilt before continuing to browse the official website forum.Unlike social media such as Stakes, which are more entertaining and publicizing, players from all over the world are gathered on the game’s official website forum, using their real-name game IDs to feed back the latest information.

"05300201: I want to call old Sam crazy, and the new account finally got an invitation! You can go up the mountain without going over the wall! The Asia-Pacific volume is said to be very good? I see that the forum in the US and Australia has been on the top for several weeks! [Crying with joy]"

"01995200: Why didn't I receive the invitation for the internal test? I'm tired of playing the US-Australia test. The test center hasn't updated the US-Australia test for five months. I'm so angry! I want to go up the mountain! [Cracked into a cake]"

"05406778: Upstairs 01 started with a US server login? It's normal not to be invited! It is said that Sam's operation has allocated a lot of places for new players with IP in China. You see, the closed beta has not been open for 24 hours. , my account number has reached [-], which proves that we have a lot of accounts here, do you want to find a gay friend here to help you apply? [Jiu Mi]”

"03852834: Onlookers in the front row of the European server. It is said that the Asia-Pacific volume has a new character that is strongly aimed at our Miss Ina. I am very curious. Even the boss of our union who plays Ina is asking, hahahaha~ [gloating]"

"02800462: It is said that Lu Da retired? Didn't he just win the championship? I don't even want to play games after he left. I got the first place in the Australian server H14, and I'm not interested. Then a new scroll was released, and I couldn't download it. Mt. [mosquito-repellent eye]”

Yu Zheng glanced at the progress bar from time to time, and browsed through the players' comments on the Asia-Pacific volume with great interest, and didn't stop until his stomach was growling.

He saw that the sky was getting white, and he vaguely heard the sound of the wheels of the vendors downstairs. He turned to look out the window, and it turned out that the husband and wife shop selling pancakes was preparing to start work.

Watching the boss prepare the shovel and noodle spoon, take out the plastic bag full of lettuce, and unload the transparent storage box full of crisps from the van, Yu Zheng rubbed his stomach silently.He looked back at the screen and found that the progress bar was still crawling, and the download would not be completed in a while, so he leaned forward and found some small change from the drawer, planning to fill his stomach first before thinking about how to support himself.
