Chu Ci was also looking at Jing Muyu.Even though he was recalling a mostly not-so-good past, Jing Muyu's speech was still slow and unhurried, enunciating words clearly, which was completely different from his kind of confession where he said whatever came to his mind and vented indiscriminately.

Chu Ci's eyes fell on the corner of his mouth, and his thoughts went away again, thinking: When he is not smiling, his expression looks distant and indifferent, and when he occasionally meets his eyes, he will smile slightly.

Very nice.

"In 13, half a year after I entered WTF, the first team of WTF went to the summer competition and successfully won the tickets for S3 of the national finals. You all know the later results. We won the first runner-up in China, and it was the first time in the lpl theater in lol Ranked first in the middle row, it shined brilliantly, and lol, as an official e-sports event, also attracted domestic attention. Everyone was very happy. At that time, we felt that lck, which had always dominated the dominant position, was not so invincible. He was able to successfully win the championship against South Korea.

As a result, three years ago, at the beginning of 14, the boss came to me privately and told me that his main industry had encountered a financial downturn, and I am afraid that e-sports has no time for him..." Jing Muyu took a deep breath His tone, which has always been steady, trembled a little: "The development of domestic e-sports is really much better than three years ago. At that time, we were too miserable. The boss couldn't even approve the winter quilts when he first withdrew the capital. The youngest member of the group was 14 years old at the time, and the dormitory was small. I squeezed him on the same bed with only one blanket. He fell asleep and shivered and leaned against me.More than ten degrees below zero. "

"I was the captain of WTF at the time. I went to talk to my boss, and I asked him if he could finish S4 before withdrawing his investment. He was also in a difficult situation, and told me that the situation is like this now, and he asked him to invest all his remaining assets in a game industry. , How does he explain to his wife and children? Esports eSports is just a game, there is no hope and no prospect, he is a businessman and not a philanthropist."

"At that time, I was young and energetic, and I was immediately irritated by his contemptuous attitude. I know that many people in China think that e-sports is just a game, and we e-sports players are addicted to the Internet. It proves that China's e-sports industry can't hold back our own people to suppress us internally. I patted the table and promised him that we will definitely win the championship this year. I analyzed the rewards of fame and fortune after winning the championship with him, and he finally agreed with me. , I promise to lead WTF to win the championship in S4, and I will keep investing and supplying logistics during and before S4; if he can’t get it, he will withdraw the capital, and I will be responsible for repaying his losses during the period with interest.”

Jing Muyu lowered his eyes and smiled, and said: "Young and energetic. You also know what happened later. I took the skateboard shoes (1) in the last game, and the jungler on the opposite side of the high ground wanted to come up and replace me. I R At the same time, Lanliu commanded him to connect with my R's second part of repelling in Maili. At that time, Bingniao just used the big move aoe, but Lanliu shot all three residual blood around me from Bingniao's big move. Let's go... That is to say, if I don't have R Lanliu and Shout Lanliu's second-stage knockback, then I won't die, but the mid laner Bingniao can take three heads, and maybe I can come back."

"In the end we lost 0:3 to them, and we were the runner-up for another year."

Jing Muyu spoke very plainly, but Chu Ci's eyes were wet.But he still had a piece of duck neck in his mouth, and this scene seemed very funny: "I remember that at the beginning of the Internet, there was a problem with the support of the spray, and then you took the initiative to release the part of the team voice at that time, saying It was your command error..."

"Yeah, it was originally my fault." Jing Muyu stuck his fingers together, and continued to narrate calmly: "Later, I retired to live broadcast, and it was also to pay off the debt of the bet with the boss at that time. The game prize money was too low .

"However, the boss has long wanted to withdraw the capital. It was you who insisted and even made a self-destructive bet that gave you the chance to go to S4, not that you were the sinner who caused WTF to fall apart...but you chose to retire on the cusp of the storm. , but you didn’t tell the truth about your retirement, and the boss withdrew the capital afterward. Of course, they would all misunderstand that you retired and let the boss withdraw the capital, thinking that you have no e-sports spirit, you are weak, and you don’t care about the future of your teammates. You obviously don’t have to take the blame.” Chu Ci thought of Jiang Wenyin's anger and accusations before, and looked at Jing Muyu who was sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened, gritted his teeth in pain.

"My teammates thought that the boss withdrew the investment because I retired. They didn't know that I had a quarrel with the boss that day, and they didn't know that the real reason for the boss's withdrawal was that he looked down on e-sports. Chinese esports has lost hope."

Chu Ci looked at the man sitting next to him. Tree's expression was still as calm as ever, and he looked almost unhuman. He was sprayed with garbage, ridiculed, and scolded for being selfish and disregarding his teammates all these years after he retired, but... that's it. A person, after balancing the lesser of two evils, takes all the stains on himself, and shoulders all the responsibilities alone.

Jing Muyu took out a tissue to wipe away a tear that flowed down the boy's cheek, and said with a smile, "Why are you crying? I'm not very good, and everyone is also well. Retiring was the best choice at that time. I just didn't expect , when I made a bet with the boss, Lanliu was outside the door, and he may have heard a little bit, and he has been defending me all these years after I retired and not letting others spray."

Chu Ci was still in tears, choked up and speechless.As a die-hard fan of Tree since its debut, he feels too wronged for Tree God.

Jing Muyu stuffed the tissue into his hand, and started another topic to distract him: "This is the secondary reason. The main reason is that after S4, I personally felt the strength of the top player from lck who ruled the whole lol , It’s too scary. In S3, Lanliu and I were already oppressed when we got off the road. It was the first time in my career that I felt such a heavy sense of oppression; after S4, I already knew that no matter how hard I tried, I would never In his shadow."

Chu Ci knew that he was talking about the legendary Korean ADC, Joy, who led the team to three consecutive championships in S2-S4.His industry ethics and achievements are equally impeccable, and his reputation is frightening to his peers. He is a legend of perfection and invincibility, and he is the undisputed No. [-] in the world.

"In the playoffs before S4, WTF won the championship. At that time, the host raised the atmosphere when we raised the trophy, and shouted loudly to ask who is the world's number one top laner. The audience was also very excited, and loudly responded to Love&peace! Then the host again Ask who is the world's No. [-] mid laner, and the answer is Ban!! Who is the world's No. [-] jungler, Call; who is the world's No. [-] support, Liu. They are all members of our WTF team. The first ADC, the audience below suddenly became quiet for a moment."

"Then they yelled: Joy the Devil!!!"

Jing Muyu lowered his eyes, as if he was standing on the podium again, surrounded by mountains and tsunami tides belonging to Joy, he held the corner of the trophy blankly, his palms were cold, and saw the host turning his head back amidst the shouts, facing him Embarrassed and sorry smile.

What they shouted, what they admired, and what they were crazy about was not the tree who had just won the domestic playoffs; but the figure on the altar, Joy, who was far away in a foreign country.

Chu Ci seemed to see a lonely look on Tree's face that had always shown no emotion, but it was only for a moment, fleeting.He lightly admits that he is indeed inferior to others: "In S4, I was crushed for 10 knives in the first 20 minutes of the bottom lane. When they were 2:0 WTF, I actually had a hunch. Joy is really too strong, I can't beat him It's pointless to persist, it's a matter of talent, no matter how hard you try, he's number one in the world."

"Don't say that..." Chu Ci retorted weakly, feeling that his words lacked confidence.Although he is a hard-core tree player, he also knows very well that no matter how strong tree is, it is only the number one adc in the national server, and it cannot be compared with Joy in international competitions.He watched the match more than once at that time, and he still remembers how badly WTF's bot lane was crushed by QU's Joy.

Jing Muyu patted Chu Ci's shoulder again, as if he was comforting Chu Ci: "So, I won't come back. I couldn't beat him in my peak period. I'm already twenty now, and I've been wasted for a few years. It's even more hopeless."

Chu Ci wiped his face indiscriminately, and suddenly caught the flaw in this sentence: "But, I'm asking you if you want to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with me! It's fps, not moba!"

Jing Muyu turned his gaze to him, looked at him for a while, and then smiled, a little self-deprecatingly relieved: "Can't you see it. The two S matches against Joy have long since lost all my confidence and courage. There is a problem with my mentality, what else can I use to play professionally, to resist and fight against opponents who are twice, three times, or a hundred times stronger than me? My current state is completely unsuitable for professional e-sports. Entering in such a muddled state, It's an insult to the profession I once admired as my dream."

He knows better than anyone that his biggest problem is not a drop in hand speed, a slow reaction, or even a loss in the game, but a loss of confidence and courage to improve.

Jing Muyu was sitting, he put a finger on his chest, and said calmly: "Here is empty, there is no dream or hope, not even a clear goal. Three years is too long, I will let you down, I am no longer the tree I was back then."

Chu Ci saw the helpless numbness in his calmness. He crumpled up the paper towel, brewed his words, and said seriously: "Confidence can be cultivated, and courage can be renewed. Brother, you say you can't hold on, but you can't hold on." Relying on the name of tree, I persisted on the road of fps for five years."

"From going to school to dropping out, from dropping out to going abroad, and coming back from a foreign country, I have persisted for five years, and I will continue to persist in the future. I have known your name since I was 12 years old, and I have known you every time I was on the verge of collapse. Gritting your teeth, thinking about how to survive the tree, brother, you said you have no goal, I still remember you said after a post-match interview, your goal is to let the five-star red flag fly at the top of the world's e-sports."

"Three years is a long time. It doesn't matter if you forget it. I will remember it for you. Your goal has long been assimilated into my goal. I can slowly remember it for you, and then we will fight for it again together."

Chu Ci thought that Tree was saving him and guiding him before, so now it's his turn to help Tree stand up again.

He feels that he has a great responsibility, and he is also somewhat proud of it.Moving to the right side of the sofa, he reached out and grabbed Jing Muyu's wrist hanging on his leg.That hand had slender and graceful knuckles and prominent wrist bones. When Chu Ci clasped it, the five fingers rested loosely on the side of the back of Chu Ci's hand.

E-sports players often have a pair of extremely beautiful hands.

Jing Muyu watched the young man cup his right hand with both hands, with an almost devout look on his face.With the vigorous vigor of a young man, and all the stubborn seriousness of a young man, he solemnly made the invitation and promise: "Brother, play professionally, no matter what happened in the past or how you are now; what you lost, I will always Once you find it for you; what you want, we will get it together."

"We will go to the top together."

In Chu Ci's youthful eyes, there was pure faith and unparalleled self-confidence, which was exactly what Jing Muyu had lost.Jing Muyu was in a daze. Three years ago, he thought the same way. He also thought that he would reach the peak.The fingertips touched the boy's warm skin, and the zircon earring on the boy's left ear was as bright as the pupil.

"Brother, play professionally with me. If moba fails, we will start again from fps. I will form a team, or wait until WTF opens the Jedi Survival Division, and we will join together. If we can't get the gold cup, we will get the gold cup." Pot. The world has never left you, I will lead you to continue to shine."
