Stand-in king

Professional teams are somewhat different from ordinary office workers. In order to match the rest time of the audience, official competitions are often held on weekends. The finals of this year's NGCC are no exception. This is why ordinary office workers are busy with work. These professional players are relatively leisurely.

Especially when no training is required.

On the second day after the loser's match ended, the team was given a holiday, but Mo Xu, who usually likes to stay at home and sleep until he wakes up naturally, didn't sleep much. He got up early, packed his things and went out.

It was a little hard to find the address from Erhu, but fortunately there wasn't too much traffic jam during the daytime on weekdays, otherwise Mo Xu would definitely go crazy on such a day with the scorching sun.

After repeated communication through several phone calls, he finally found the right place and opened the door of a small shop.

A small bell hanging on the glass door jingled, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man raised his head in the not-so-large dim room. smile.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

When he got closer, he realized that this "middle-aged man" was not a middle-aged man at all, but a young man who looked a bit old, with a thick beard around his lips. It's no wonder that Mo Xu mistook it at first glance.

"Hello..." He was a little embarrassed, "Well, I contacted the store before..."

"Oh, Mr. Mo, right? Did you bring the picture?"

"Bring it." Mo Xu said, and took out a few stacked pieces of paper from his pocket, opened it, and looked at this "middle-aged man", "Well, you are the store manager..."

"Yes." The man smiled, "Small business, I don't need any helpers, I'm the only one in the store."

"That's it." Mo Xu spread the paper on the table, "Forgive me, this picture was originally not leaked, but fortunately, the drawing has been around for several years. I finally got it quietly through a friend. It’s convenient to stay here. So I think it’s best to confirm the blueprint today, and I can take this blueprint back.”

"Yes." The owner of this kind of creative business has experienced many battles, and he has seen many unconstrained customers, so he was not intimidated by Mo Xu's request.

He took out a few booklets from the cabinet and handed them over. He was afraid that he might not be able to see clearly, so he turned on the small light next to him.

"Choose a basic model first, and then we will modify it slowly according to the shape you want to customize."

"Okay." Mo Xu looked up at the small lamp, "This lampshade is quite unique."

"You can bend it with a wire, you can try it yourself at home, it's very simple."

"Me? Let's talk about it in a few years." Mo Xu shook his head with a smile, and looked down at his hands, "I don't dare to do this kind of heavy work now. If I get hurt, the loss will outweigh the gain."

Don't look at him who seems to be not very particular all day long, but in fact he still pays attention to these details.

The owner smiled knowingly: "Oh, professional players, right?"

The shop owner himself doesn't play games, but he got to know Mo Xu through several friends' introductions, and at least he has heard a little about this profession.

Mo Xu nodded, lowered his head and flipped through the booklets.

Rings, earrings, and necklaces are relatively common types of jewelry customization, but as Sun Tianrui said, he is a man, and it is impossible to wear some things around.

It doesn't matter that the ring and bracelet are more men's style, but Mo Xu thought about it, like Ah Rui's style of T-shirt and basketball pants, wearing a men's ring or bracelet is too out of tune.

In the end, after looking through the pictures of the basic models provided by the shop owner, Mo Xu chose a pair of chic keychains——

Each is an arc shape of half a heart, and there is a small pendant in the hollow part in the middle, which looks like a pair of harps facing opposite directions from a distance.

"Just this..." Mo Xu pointed to the picture and showed it to the shopkeeper, "Can I replace the bird in the middle with the picture I brought?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper carefully looked at the blueprint that Mo Xu brought earlier, and finally nodded affirmatively, "There are several materials for this keychain to choose from. You can choose it inside, there are samples."

……

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Mo Xu finally finalized the final materials and preliminary drawings with the shopkeeper. While waiting for the other party to sort out the final version of the drawings, his mobile phone rang.

The name displayed on the screen is "Sun Tianrui".

"Uh..." Mo Xu was taken aback. For a moment, he thought that his actions had been seen through by the other party. He put his index finger on his mouth and gave a "shh" to stop the shopkeeper from talking to him. Action, pick up the phone. "Hello?"

"Brother Xu?" Sun Tianrui's voice was still a little confused, "Are you awake?"

"Well, I have something to do today, so I went out early."

"Ah?" The drowsiness seemed to disappear instantly, and Sun Tianrui was a little annoyed, "Why didn't you tell me...and I plan to ask you to have dinner together."

"Hmm..." Mo Xu looked at the owner's progress, thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't you come out too, I'm almost done here, so I'll go to the city center to have a good meal."

"Sure, see you on XX Road?"

"Well, I'll go over here when I'm done."

Mo Xu hung up the phone and found that the shopkeeper was looking at him jokingly: "Girlfriend?"

"No." He shook his head with a smile and didn't say much.

Although the relationship is correct, the gender is wrong. It’s just that he has a boyfriend. Even though he has matured a lot in these years and received comfort from Sun Tianrui before, he still can’t say it openly. He can only answer this silently in his heart. question.

After coming out of the small shop, it was already half an hour later, Mo Xu calculated the time of Sun Tianrui's arrival, a little rushed, so he gave up the idea of ​​taking public transportation, and hailed a taxi to go to the agreed place.

This seemed to be the first time for the two of them to leave their identities as professional players and go shopping like two ordinary people. After eating, Sun Tianrui was so excited that he dragged Mo Xu around a lot before returning home.

Mo Xu cooperated throughout the whole process. To be honest, he also enjoyed this time when the two of them were eating, drinking, and having fun. The only thing that didn't cooperate was that when Sun Tianrui asked him what he was doing in the morning, Mo Xu didn't answer directly.

However, Ah Rui is not the kind of person who asks the bottom line, so it's fine if the other party doesn't tell me a casual question.

He also jokingly asked Mo Xu if he ran out to find some young and beautiful little sister, and in return she gave her a huge white eye.

In the next few days, it was still a step-by-step training. Nothing special happened between Mo Xu and Sun Tianrui, but he received a lot of "meaningless clamor" from the erhu on his mobile phone. The team is very affectionate, and in addition, they like to fight with Mo Xu on weekdays. During the memorable days when they finally became opponents "on the field" and "on the bright side", they really showed their venomous tongue. With his eloquence, he launched a brutal trash talk attack on Mo Xu.

Not to be outdone, Mo Xu was even aloof, and replied indifferently with a few facts that could choke people to death, for example, he had won the championship, he had won the championship, and he made the erhu speechless, unable to argue.

Nothing, who made Erhu fail to win the championship?

"Don't worry, our Red Hell will definitely win the championship this year! I'm really happy to think about taking this championship away from you, hahaha!"

Mo Xu: "Wait and see."

In this "touching" friendship exchange, the day of the finals is finally approaching day by day.

……

Sunday, August 20, 8XX, was cloudy.

City S, which has just experienced a brief typhoon, has not yet waited for its own sun, and the sun that belongs to the God's Lair will slowly rise.

In the Wangjiang plate, the location is the best, the traffic is the most convenient, and the location with the most expensive land is crowded with people, and a silent excitement is suppressed in the crowd.

For today's finals, the venue was not set up in the narrow and cramped top-floor space of the Super Brand Plaza, but on the Zhen? Square at the entrance of the Super Brand Plaza.

A large screen composed of several huge LED screens hangs above the stage, and the commentary position is set up in the center of the stage, and the contestants will compete in the open contestants seats on both sides of the stage.

Audiences who bought tickets can get seats under the stage. A temporary guardrail surrounds the square, and passers-by and spectators who do not buy tickets can also stand outside the guardrail to feast their eyes. The rental cost and facility cost of this venue are higher than indoors Much higher.

It can be said that Shennest officials are very willing to spend money for this NGCC finals.

What's more, Tiangong still gave me face. Although it was not sunny, there was not much wind, which allowed the outdoor activities to go on smoothly.

The well-dressed host and commentator stepped onto the stage and introduced the wonderful performance brought by the professional coser team.After that, the players of the two teams appeared on the stage one by one.

"First of all, let's invite the Genies team that won the final victory in last week's loser's bracket..."

The Genies team promotional video was played on the big screen, and the hostess Xiaoxiao introduced with a smile on her face, "Blood Knight player PPG, Sharpshooter Melon, Magician player rRui, Saint player whee..."

Yang Pengyi was standing on the side of the stage. He was the first to be reported, so he was also the first to appear on stage.

He clutched his chest, with a slightly terrified expression: "I'm going to be on stage, I'm so nervous, will my look be ugly today?"

"Don't worry..." Xu Jinghui pushed behind him, "You're not handsome in the first place."

"Are you talking human?" Yang Pengyi said he was very hurt.

Sun Tianrui smiled: "Go up, it's the last game of this year, everyone play well."

"Look, God Rui can still speak." Yang Pengyi glared at Xu Jinghui, turned around and jumped onto the stage.

Behind him followed the Genies players, from the official players to the substitutes. After the introduction of this team, it was the introduction of the champion of the winner's group - the Red Prison team.
