The Strongest God

In the tenth season, a new team promoted from the private sector suddenly appeared in the Wulin Professional League - the team is called "Snow Wolf", with a silver wolf totem as the team badge, and the captain Fang Zhiyan is young and wears silver-rimmed glasses The appearance of smiling is very polite.

In recent years, very few private teams have successfully advanced from the city competition. The appearance of the Snow Wolf team immediately attracted the attention of many e-sports journalists, especially the team leader Fang Zhiyan was not stage frightened during the interview, smiling from beginning to end. It's not like a rookie who has never played in an official league.In addition, the Snow Wolf team also has a pair of twin brothers. There have always been rumors among the folks that "twins know each other". Many people are also very curious about the tacit understanding between the twins.

Many reporters went to online games to dig out Fang Zhiyan's background, but found nothing. Fang Zhiyan's id "Sha Na Fang Hua" sounds a bit feminine, and almost all the characters with the same name he found in online games were girls. He seemed to appear out of nowhere. The folk masters who came here are full of mystery.

Apart from the captain, the backgrounds of the other players are quite easy to find——Mingyue Tianya and Mingyue Tingfeng, these two names happened to be among the top few on the Mingjiao master list in the Netcom District, obviously the pair of Lu Mingjie and Lu Mingzhe. have children.The aliases and real backgrounds of female player Li Suyue, vice-captain Wu Qian and others in the online game were quickly picked up by reporters. Li Suyue and Wu Qian are both college students and alumni. Like the Lu brothers, they are both from Harbin , everyone has several months of gaming experience in the Netcom area.Apparently, the members of the Snow Wolf team got to know each other through playing online games, and finally formed a like-minded team to play in the city competition, all the way to the professional league.

However, the background of Captain Fang Zhiyan has always been a mystery.

Some people predict that the Snow Wolf team will become the strongest dark horse of this season; some people are not optimistic about this new team. Nowadays, there are so many masters in the league, and a new team like Snow Wolf that comes from the private sector may not be able to withstand the formal competition. League pressure.

In the tenth season, that was when the Chang'an team had just won the championship and Yang Jian's tail was up to the sky.

Rumors about the Snow Wolf team had been circulating in the league before the start of the league. Yang Jian had heard the name Fang Zhiyan countless times. The newly promoted team will be tortured into a dog's life by the big teams when they enter the league.

According to the rules of the league, the first game of the opening ceremony is last season's champion captain An vs. this season's new team Xuelang. Yang Jian is very confident in this match. He thinks that he should be able to beat Snowwolves 9:0. , Give the newcomer a little color and see.

When being interviewed by reporters, Fang Zhiyan smiled modestly and said: "Changan was the champion team last season. We played against Changan in the first game. Objectively speaking, we don't have much chance of winning. I just hope that the players It’s enough to relax and play at your own level.”

Captain Fang’s modest answer made the reporters feel better, while Yang Jian faced the same question, but smiled confidently and said: “Chang’an team is a veteran team, and they just won the championship last season. I think everyone knows the outcome of the game."

He almost said "we should make a 9:0", but fortunately Qin Ye glared at him from the side, and Yang Jian immediately took back the arrogant words and said, "Although it is with For the new team, we will do our best and hope to present a wonderful game to everyone.”

The completely different reactions of the two captains made the audience talk a lot. Yang Jian is well-known in the league for his arrogance. Many people secretly hope that Fang Zhiyan can beat Chang'an with more strength. Some people left a message under Fang Zhiyan's Weibo saying: : Xuelang, come on, go and destroy the prestige of a certain funny captain!

At that time, Yang Jian was very popular. Most of the people who liked him were the aggressive players who played Wudang Sword Sect, as well as some female Mi Fensi who were as good-looking as he was, but there were actually more people who hated him. After all, he was only 20. He won a championship next year, but he still doesn't know how to keep a low profile. He talks about "our championship team" all day long, as if he is the best captain in the league.

Those mifensi who supported Team Xiao, Team Shao, Team Ye, and Team Chuan naturally disliked Yang Jian in every possible way.

——You have won the championship?Team Xiao/Shao/Chuan/Ye have all won championships, okay?No one talks about the championship every day like you do? !

There was a lot of scolding on the Internet, but Yang Jian was very proud at that time, holding the weird idea of ​​"they scolded me to prove that I am popular", and ate and drank with reporters and anchors with peace of mind.

***

The tenth season's pre-match preparatory meeting was coming soon, and he and Qin Ye flew to Beijing for the meeting. That was the first time he met the legendary snow wolf captain Fang Zhiyan.

Yang Jian looked at the young man in front of him curiously. The man wore glasses and smiled. He was gentle and looked like an expert in scientific research. There was no way to connect him with an e-sports player.It is said that he is a player who plays Zheng Emei support, and he even gave a girly name like "Shina Fanghua"... Yang Jian thought with some disgust, the elders play a soft Zheng Emei support, this kind of The style of play has long been outdated, and this man doesn't have much ability at first glance.

After Fang Zhiyan saw Yang Jian, his attitude was very modest, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Captain Yang, hello, I've heard of you for a long time."

The words "I have admired you for a long time" sounded particularly pleasing to the ear. Yang Jian saw that Fang Zhiyan was more pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "There are so many participating teams in the city competition, it is not easy for you to fight all the way? The professional league schedule The arrangement is quite tight. Once it officially starts, there will be a match every two or three days, and Beijing and Shanghai will fly around.” This means that our professional league is the most regular game, and I am the best when I win the championship. Yes, you little transparent teams who are used to city games, come and worship me.

Fang Zhiyan understood what he meant, smiled slightly, and followed his words: "Team Yang is right, the level of the professional league is much higher than that of the city competition, and the competition system is also more professional, please take care of Team Yang in the future. "

"That's natural." Yang Jian patted the new captain's shoulder boldly, "By the way, let me introduce the captains of the major teams to you. You don't know many people well when you first come."

——This is already a posture of "I'm better than you, let me take care of you".

Fang Zhiyan looked at him, smiled without saying a word.

At the dinner that day, at the next table sat Xiao and Su from Seven Star Grass, Xie and Liang from Huaxia, Shao and Lu from Bronze Sparrow, Ye and Lin from Luohuaci, Tang and Chen from Tang Dynasty—the principal and deputy captains of the five major teams, A table full of the most popular gods in the league at the moment.

Fang Zhiyan could tell at a glance that this group of people didn't want to talk to Yang Jian. Obviously, even if Yang Jian won the championship once, he still couldn't integrate into the real circle of great gods.Even Qin Ye, the vice-captain of his own team, would rather add an extra stool to this table than sit with Yang Jian.

Familiar people will naturally gather together when everyone gathers, and the seats are quite obvious at a glance. Those who dare to sit at this table have at least been approved by Xiao Sijing, the oldest captain in the alliance. Yang Jian obviously does not have this qualification. He himself didn't dare to sit with Team Xiao.

On the surface, Fang Zhiyan cooperated with Yang Jian to toast everyone with a smile on the surface, but he felt a little sympathetic to Yang Jian in his heart-how stupid is this?Can't you see they don't care about you?

***

After returning to the hotel in the evening, all members of the Snow Wolf team gathered for a meeting. Vice-captain Wu Qian said worriedly: "The league will start in a few days, and the first game will be against Chang'an. Yang Jian seems very confident." , Are we going to arrange tactics as soon as possible?"

"Do you know what was the key to Chang'an winning the championship in the last league?" Fang Zhiyan asked suddenly.

The younger brother of the twins, Lu Mingjie, scratched his hair in distress, and said: "Captain, don't be a fool, tell me quickly, our IQ is not as high as yours."

Fang Zhiyan smiled slightly and said: "Actually, last season's Chang'an team was really lucky, and it happened that other strong teams had problems. After Chuan Shen retired, Huaxia's performance dropped sharply; the two old players of Tongque also retired. The two newcomers promoted by Luohuaci are still in an unstable state; the most important thing is Qixingcao. In the finals, Qixingcao played against Chang'an, but the vice-captain Su Shilun was injured in a car accident And didn't play."

Lu Mingjie suddenly realized: "So Chang'an is really lucky!"

Wu Qian calmly said, "I have also heard about the car accident involving Lun Shen. It is said that the lower leg was broken, so I didn't come to the competition. Seven Star Grass lost the Lun Shen, which is equivalent to the loss of the Xiao team. No wonder Chang'an can beat Seven Star Grass."

"But Yang Jian doesn't think so." Fang Zhiyan sighed with some regret, and said, "In fact, after the old captain Lin Liming retired, the Chang'an team has long been inferior to what it used to be. Now Chang'an only has a gorgeous appearance. The contradiction between Yang Jian and Qin Ye can no longer be concealed, and we can make tactical arrangements based on this." Fang Zhiyan paused slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "As for Yang Jian? , he will talk nonsense in front of reporters, everyone ignores him, he is just a poor guy living in his own world."

Fang Zhiyan got to the point, and he could see everything clearly with just one dinner party.

The young and energetic Yang Jian is just a typical poor guy who was dazzled by the victory and didn't get his mind right in time.

How high his tail is raised now is how badly he will fall in the future.Public opinion can lift him up to heaven, or throw him into hell.Complacent because of the praise from the outside world, forgetting that the real stage of e-sports players is a cruel arena, this is absolutely fatal for e-sports players.

***

Facts have proved that Fang Zhiyan's analysis is not wrong. The opening ceremony of the tenth season broke out the biggest upset in the history of the league.

Under Fang Zhiyan's excellent psychological and tactical arrangements, the newly promoted team Snow Wolf team divided Chang'an team from the inside. Taking the conflict between Qin Ye and Yang Jian as a breakthrough point, after losing 3 points first in the ring, they won in one fell swoop With three command flags, they defeated the champion Captain An with a score of 6:3. With the lineup supported by Zheng Emei, whom Yang Jian had never looked down upon before the game, the Chang'an team was defeated like a mountain, and they lost three consecutive teams.

To Yang Jian, this was equivalent to Fang Zhiyan slapping him face to face.

After the game, Fang Zhiyan led the team to Chang'an to shake hands. Qin Ye's expression was calm, but Yang Jian's expression was extremely ugly. He shook hands with Fang Zhiyan casually before turning around and leaving. Fang Zhiyan looked at his back slightly It's funny to think: Is he really 20 years old?Without even the basic manners, this willful temper is like a boy with the second child who has not grown up.

After that game, Yang Jian didn't participate in the post-match interview and left the mess to the vice captain Qin Ye.

This practice of escaping after losing the game made Fang Zhiyan look down on him even more.

Many reporters often compare Yang Jian and Liang Haibin, because they are about the same age, both play Wudang and have become captains, but Fang Zhiyan feels that Yang Jian is not even half as good as Liang Haibin. The captain at least dared to stand up and explain when Huaxia's grades dropped sharply and was scolded by Mi Fensi, and assumed the responsibility of a captain, but Yang Jian, he would only stand up to accept praise when he won, and shrink his head when he lost Hide like a turtle.

- Really useless.Fang Zhiyan thought to himself, maybe he was so ignorant because he was spoiled by his parents?

The opening ceremony of the tenth season became Fang Zhiyan's battle of fame, and the double support lineup of the Snow Wolf team came into everyone's attention. This lineup that was eliminated many years ago seems to be glowing again in Fang Zhiyan's hands With a new brilliance, all of a sudden, the number of people playing Zheng Emei assistants in the online game suddenly increased. It can be seen that Fang Zhiyan's appearance had a great impact on the entire online game structure, especially the Emei sect.

However, for Yang Jian, the opening ceremony of the tenth season was his nightmare.

A game made him fall from the clouds to the mud. Fang Zhiyan's loud slap made him feel ashamed. For a long time, he even escaped behind the scenes, not daring to face the media reporters at all.

To make matters worse, the internal disagreements in Chang'an caused the team's performance to decline again and again, and even had a low period of losing ten games in a row.Yang Jian felt very bewildered, he didn't know what to do, it was like watching a tall building collapse from its foundation, and he couldn't turn the tide by himself.

He thought about working hard to cheer up, and thinking about communicating with Qin Ye... However, the team members have long been unable to unite, and the whole team feels extremely impetuous. Yang Jian is not the kind of captain who is good at psychological work. How can you help other teammates if you can't adjust your mentality well?In addition, his personality was too arrogant, and he was too embarrassed to bow his head in front of Qin Ye, so that the team's performance became worse and worse, causing a vicious circle.

He was sleepwalking almost all of the following games, and he could never regain the unstoppable state of being unstoppable with a single sword in his hand.

In the end, Chang'an had no choice but to announce its disbandment, and Yang Jian just woke up like a dream, but it was too late.

He will never forget the feeling when he heard the news, as if one of the most cherished treasures was broken by his own hands, annoyed, remorseful, wanting to slap himself hard but it was useless, he could only sit alone In the training room of the team, staring at the team emblem of the Chang'an team in a daze.

——This team logo, from now on, will never appear in the professional league again.

Thinking of this, his nose felt sour, and his eye sockets couldn't help turning red.

Suddenly recalled many past events in my mind, such as the day when I came to the team for trial training for the first time when I was young, Lin Liming looked at him with a smile and said, "Is that Yang Jian? I will accept you as an apprentice." For example, in the corridor for the first time On the day when Lin Liming met Qin Ye, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Hello Yese, you are my favorite professional player." And the day when Lin Liming left, he put his hand on his Said on the shoulder: "From now on, the Chang'an team will be handed over to you."

All the memories of the past seemed to be like barbed whips, beating his heart hard.

The prosperous Chang'an was finally destroyed in his hands. What face does he have to face his master?What face does he have to meet his brother Liu Chuan?

At that time, Yang Jian even felt that his whole world had turned into darkness. The strong self-loathing made him not know what to do next. He stayed in the training room in a daze until a message suddenly popped up on the QQ in the lower right corner.

"Chang'an is disbanding, isn't it?"

The person who sent the message was Fang Zhiyan. Yang Jian didn't add him as a friend. He found Yang Jian through the q group of professional players.

——It’s really a cat crying and a mouse fake mercy.Yang Jian didn't bother to talk to this person, he didn't have any good feelings for Fang Zhiyan, his unlucky start was in the game where Fang Zhiyan slapped him in the face at the opening ceremony, this man ended his dream, and when he mentioned this person's name He hated Fang Zhiyan so much, he especially hated Fang Zhiyan, and always felt that this person's smiling face was very hypocritical.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Fang Zhiyan went on to say, "What are you going to do? Just give up like this?"

Yang Jian couldn't help feeling a little sad when he saw this sentence.He didn't want to just give up like this, but, as the captain of Chang'an, where would he have a place to live after the team disbanded?What team can he go to?Seven Star Grass?Copperbird?The captains of these teams are probably watching his jokes, and he himself doesn’t want to go to the second-rate weak teams. Firstly, he is really unwilling to go to the second-rate teams. , How will you continue to hang out in the alliance in the future?

Yang Jian was silent for a while with complicated emotions, and then reluctantly typed a few words: "I didn't think about it."

Fang Zhiyan sent a smile: "Come to us Snow Wolf?"

Yang Jian's face darkened, and he almost sent a sentence: Are you kidding me?

But he still held back, pretending to be calm and said: "Captain Fang, can you stop making fun of me?"

Fang Zhiyan said: "I'm not joking with you, I'm serious."

Yang Jian: "..."

Fang Zhiyan patiently typed: "The snow wolf team's ring has always been a weak point. Neither of the twin brothers Ajie and Azhe can challenge the big responsibility of defending the ring. The Li Suyue I am training is also biased towards the excessive and smooth style of play in the ring. .The points in the ring this season are too low, otherwise Xuelang's results could be even better. We are in urgent need of attacking players, and I think you are just right."

"If you have no better choice, you can consider coming to our Snow Wolf. I discussed it with Wu Qian, and he is willing to give up the position of vice captain to you."

"Nowadays, the first-tier strong teams in the league have a relatively fixed style of play. Even if you go to a strong team like Seven Star Grass, your style cannot be integrated into their system. Besides, people like Lu Shen and Lu Shen are very popular players themselves. , it is impossible for them to give up the position of vice captain for you, let alone the captain."

"Yang Jian, since the disbandment of Chang'an has become a fact, I think you should wake up and think about your own future."

"If you want to come over, please contact me at any time."

Yang Jian stared blankly at the message from Fang Zhiyan, and was silent for a long time.

Although he hated Fang Zhiyan very much, he had to admit that everything this man said was right.If he goes to another strong team, no one will give him the position of vice captain, and if he goes to a second-tier team, it is impossible to bring a group of low-level teammates to do anything.The Snow Wolf team is the strongest dark horse this season, and he has experienced Fang Zhiyan's command level. Putting aside his personal disgust, objectively speaking, this man is indeed very thoughtful, and the Snow Wolf team is indeed more promising.

Going to Snow Wolf to fight in the ring?Going to be the vice-captain under the eyes of the person you hate the most?

Yang Jian felt a little conflicted in his heart.

After thinking about it for a few days, he found that except for Snow Wolf, no other strong teams paid attention to him at all, and those who contacted him were all third-rate teams that ranked at the bottom of the league... Yang Jian, whose self-esteem was severely injured, had no choice but to bite the bullet and give Fang a call. Zhiyan sent a message: "I decided to come to Snow Wolf."

After typing this line, Yang Jian felt very uneasy, and his cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

At the pre-match meeting, I still patted Fang Zhiyan on the shoulder with the attitude of "I'm awesome" and "I'm a senior" and took him to toast everywhere. But now, I have been reduced to the point where I have no choice but to run away. It's really shameful to go to the point where Snow Wolf is the vice captain.

Fortunately, Fang Zhiyan didn't make fun of him, but sent a smile and said, "Welcome to join Snow Wolf."

Yang Jianzheng didn't know how to answer in embarrassment, Fang Zhiyan sent a series of messages: "When are you free? I'll ask the team leader to book a plane ticket for you. You can take your luggage to Harbin and come to the team to have a look. Get familiar with everyone."

"Next Friday, I'll come over."

"Okay, the manager will pick you up at the airport in person."

"Ah."

Yang Jian added Fang Zhiyan as a friend, and after closing the chat window, he suddenly remembered... Now that he agreed to join Snow Wolf, shouldn't he talk about salary or something?It seems that I didn't even talk about the signing fee?

But after thinking about it, he should be grateful that the Snow Wolf team can give him a place to stay.As for the salary, anyway, he is not short of that little money, so just... just ask for a little bit.

To Yang Jian's surprise, when Snow Wolf signed him, the price he proposed was actually a high price for poaching a first-class master in the professional league, with an annual salary of more than one million, full bonus, and 8% of the team's endorsement fee.

Such a high price caused a lot of discussion among many people. Many people thought that Yang Jian was not worth the price; many people also felt that Chang'an had been disbanded. Xuelang's willingness to take in Yang Jian was considered as humane, and there was no need to offer such a high price. Is Snow Wolf's manager stupid?Even if the price is cut in half, Yang Jian still has to go, doesn't he?

Even Yang Jian himself was shocked, he didn't expect the signing fee offered by Snow Wolf to be so high...

He contacted Fang Zhiyan that day, and asked flatteredly, "Well, Captain Fang, the salary proposed by the manager..."

"What? Do you think it's low?" The man's voice was very gentle.

Yang Jian hurriedly said: "No, no, it's not low..." It's actually too high.

Fang Zhiyan smiled and said: "You don't think it's too low. The team doesn't have much money now, so they can only offer you this kind of salary. If you have more income in the future, everyone's treatment will also increase. If you don't If you have any opinions, go to the league to go through the transfer procedures?"

Yang Jian nodded immediately and said, "Okay."

Fang Zhiyan hung up the phone.

In fact, the captains of other teams were also very surprised when they saw Yang Jian's signing fee. Even within Snow Wolf, some people were not convinced by this signing fee.

Fang Zhiyan explained to them: "Although Chang'an is disbanded, I can't pick up Yang Jian with the attitude of picking up trash, so that he will never be able to lift his head in the Snow Wolf team. This salary may exceed many people's expectations. But this also represents the importance I attach to Yang Jian. Because what I dug here is not a poor wretch who is in a difficult situation and has nowhere to go, but the future vice-captain of our Snow Wolf team."

"I hope that after he joins the team, everyone will not look at him with sympathy, but treat him with respect for a vice-captain. He is just in a downturn for a while now. I believe that as long as he cheers up in the future, he will still The former No. [-] Swordsman of the alliance, he will fight side by side with us and lead the Snow Wolf team to the championship."

Fang Zhiyan's words were very calm, with a friendly smile on his face.His idea was simple: if even members of the Snow Wolf team looked down on Yang Jian, then there was no need for Snow Wolf to sign Yang Jian.Snow Wolf is not a shelter for the downcast players. He signed Yang Jian to give Snow Wolf a boost in the weak group arena. Since he decided to sign Yang Jian, we are teammates in the future, so we should give Yang Jian the respect he deserves.

Everyone in the Snow Wolf team Fang Zhiyan was absolutely convinced. After the captain said this, everyone no longer had any opinions.

It can be seen from the salary that Fang Zhiyan attaches great importance to Yang Jian. To be honest, such a high salary really makes Yang Jian, who has a strong self-esteem, feel much better.

Xiao Sijing's comment on this is: "Fang Zhiyan is very good at winning people's hearts, Yang Jian will absolutely follow him now."

Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "I've saved enough face for Yang Jian, this captain Fang is very good at being a man."

Shao Zehang said lightly: "Fang Zhiyan is not easy. Going to Xuelang as the vice-captain may be a rebirth for Yang Jian."

But Liu Chuan was very pleased about this. Yang Jian was willing to let go of his self-esteem and become the vice-captain of Xuelang, and continue to stay in the professional league with the cheek, instead of retiring willfully. As an older brother, he felt that this younger brother finally grew up slowly. big.

***

On the day Yang Jian dragged a big suitcase to the Snow Wolf team, Fang Zhiyan unexpectedly brought the whole team to stand in the hall waiting for him, and applauded him when he arrived. Patiently introduce each team member to him...

Although he felt awkward, he had to admit that he was suddenly moved at that moment.

As the "lost dog" who was scolded by everyone, he was not rejected or despised by his teammates in the new team. Everyone was very friendly to him and respectfully called him vice-captain.Especially Fang Zhiyan, who smiled and took him around the entire team club, patiently introduced the daily life of the Snow Wolf team, and personally arranged a dormitory for him...

Perhaps this is a fresh start.

I can't hate Fang Zhiyan anymore, I have to get rid of this childish resistance as soon as possible, because from today onwards, they will become teammates.
