The Crown on a Wheelchair [Esports]

?Cigar◇

No, tired, right?

"Hello everyone, I am KL?A mid-laner Yewish, a professional player who breaks the cocoon. I officially entered Tengshe today. From 00:00 to 02:00 every day, I will make a personal Rank in the live broadcast room. Welcome to find me Play."

On the third day after being promoted, Xia Liang passed the certification of Teng Snake TV and signed a one-year/monthly 50-hour game section contract. After the contract was sent out, his avatar got an extra V stamp that night.

Night falls in Minxiang District, Shanghai.

A DJ is rolling in a private villa.

Looking east from the terrace, the regular circular outline of the water droplet lake enlarges, shrinks, and enlarges with the rhythm of the subwoofer, like a pupil chasing light, reflected in the dark bottomless camera.

[Can the anchor speak? 】

"Huh? Ah no, my friends are hilarious, then I... go borrow a super-directional microphone, you guys wait."

[Why doesn't the anchor turn on the camera? 】

"Huh? Then I...show you this water drop lake." Xia Liang sat in front of the laptop by the window, placed the wireless camera on the terrace, then switched back to the live broadcast room and turned on the camera.

A lake appeared on the screen.

【Wow, this lake is big and round】

【KL is going to South Korea, will you go】

[There is Ji Tian in the list]

【Ji Tian is going, he should go too】

【Haha, see the world】

The other side not shown by the camera is the bar and dance floor where the light balls rotate.A blue cocktail is contained in a triangle glass. The DJ sits in the SpongeBob sofa area, two five-pointed stars on the LED goggles.

Today is the World Blue Hair Day, the NPL summer game has just ended, and the members of the KL club are still in Shanghai. For the first time, Sun Yueran invited the members of the second team to join the private party of the first team.

Although he didn't explain the intention, but because Zhang Mingchen acquiesced, Xia Liang and the others all agreed, and they are all playing in the "Four Different" video game villa under his name at the moment.

Playing is very casual, and home parties are also a KL tradition, but no matter what hair color they were before, everyone has to dye a small amount of blue hair, which fits the theme of "Blue Hair Day".

Xia Liang didn't dare to show his face, the most important thing is that he dyed a looming strand of blue hair from the top of his head in order to fit in with the group, but he didn't know until after dyeing that the blue hair that doesn't move = dumb hair, the blue hair needs to move It's beautiful.

For example, Lin Risheng can dance a little jazz dance, and when he mixes with Lu Qin (Qingyu), a large group of girls in miniskirts are attracted. The girls are very enthusiastic, dare to dance and scream, and step on the table with high heels.

Another example is that Zhang Pengcheng and Tong Xi (Gu Yu) teamed up to challenge the shooting machine record of Wei Xin and Chen Shanqiu (Serein). The four of them were chattering around endlessly, and there were girls cheering beside them.

Xiao Zhenrong (Wind) was playing cards, but the table seemed to be undressing, wilder than any activity next to it.

Xia Liang had no choice but to turn on the laptop alone and use the WIFI to start the live broadcast.He didn't understand where so many beautiful girls came from, how they were so easily excited, so fond of screaming.

But experience has taught him that girls are the catalyst, and with girls almost everyone he knows turns into a beast.

He is the one who "everyone is turbid and I am alone".

He watched the light, shadow and people blur into one, and gradually realized that the distance between the first team and them was not that far away. Except for Park Dongye, who was transferred from Korea, everyone else came from a small place to play in the city league.

It was unavoidable to be jerky when he first started the Tao. After all, he had been with Sun Yueran for two years before he learned various "playing methods".

To play is to relax, to spend money.

Sun Yueran has a famous saying, greeted and sent away several waves of people in KL: "Enjoy yourself while you are in time."

People like them sit in front of the computer all day long and have no time to enjoy life at all. They should train hard and tense up during games, so they must be crazy after the game.

Complete madness is the only way to maintain a strong youthful energy, to make persistent efforts and create brilliance.

What Xia Liang experienced at the moment was complete madness.

All the grievances that the second team suffered before the promotion match collided with the pride of the first team that will compete in the world championship two weeks later. It is difficult to distinguish who is the future and who is the shadow of the past.

Just today, KL's official website and Weibo released the roster for the World Championship in October. The last position on the list "emergency substitute" is JiTian? The first and second teams of KL will be split and reorganized.

For the second team, this year's schedule is over, and the performance of each player is certain, and it can't be changed.

On the contrary, the pressure on the first team is greater. If some players do not perform well in the World Championship, they may be transferred to the second team.

"I..." Xia Liang came back to her senses, sighed with a smile, and said into the microphone, "I probably won't go, the first team can only bring one emergency substitute, so they put Ji Tian's name on it. "

After Xia Liang finished speaking, he patted away Ji Tian who had just walked up to him with a drink, and was pulling his "stupid hair" with one hand.

"Look, your fans say, if I go, you will go too." Ji Tian said, "Then why don't you go?"

"Brother Chen and Jiao Xian both said that no matter what happens, we must believe that the club's arrangement is in our best interest." Xia Liang moved the microphone away and said, "I'm not on the list, so what's the point of secretly going with you? "

Ji Tian said: "If you don't go, I won't go either."

Xia Liang said: "If you don't go, you won't go, accompany me home for the New Year."

Ji Tian said, "Are you serious?"

Xia Liang said, "No."

[Where did the anchor go? 】

【Forget it, let it go】

There were only two to three hundred people in the live broadcast room, but because Xia Liang didn't start the game for a long time, most of them ran away, leaving only "Silence of the Lambs".

Ji Tian picked up the triangular cup and drank it with carbonic acid bubbles.

"What I mean is, you should go to practice with the first team and perform well. When you come back, I will invite you to my house for the New Year." Xia Liang said, "If you don't go, then it's out of the question, how nice Chance, you stupid."

Ji Tian said: "I'm not smart in the first place."

At this time, Sun Yueran came.

"Leader Sun." Xia Liang said hello.

"Xia Liang, hey, it's live broadcasting."

Sun Yueran flicked the camera, and his leopard-print shirt and wide shorts flickered in the lower right corner of the screen.

"Well, I didn't start the competition before, so I played a few big fights today to make up for the time." Xia Liang said.

"Okay, okay." Sun Yueran turned around and looked at Ji Tian, ​​"Ji Tian, ​​come with me, Brother Ran will teach you how to smoke a cigar."

"What's so good about cigars? I smoke Yellow Crane Tower." Ji Tian said with a smile.

"Uh..." Xia Liang tugged secretly.

……

Xia Liang was originally worried that Ji Tian and Sun Yueran would screw it up, but this time, Ji Tian seemed to have controlled his emotions.

Ji Tian followed Sun Yueran away.

"Ji Shen..."

Xia Liang stared blankly, feeling uncomfortable.

The game started, and he forced himself to turn his head and broadcast the brawl live.

[Three-pointer! 】

"Okay!" Seeing that Zhang Pengcheng made a good shot, Tong Xi hurriedly stood aside, "Come on, I'll shoot for you. There is a problem with our scoring machine. If you hit a three-pointer, I hit a two-pointer." Divide the ball, don't be angry."

Zhang Pengcheng said: "Then I will continue!"

"You didn't hit at all! Why the hell do you think you have the vitality of a newcomer?" Chen Shanqiu raised his arm and aimed.

[Three-pointer! 】

Tong Xi was selected by KL by chance in an Internet cafe competition. He was a minor at the time and had just turned [-] this year. He was the person in the first team with the smallest generation gap with the second team.Chen Shanqiu and Tong Xi play better, and they cooperate tacitly. They often catch them and are the most diligent, so people in the world call them "Chen Xiangxiang".

Wei Xin saw a piece of plaster on the back of Chen Shanqiu's neck, forgot to pick up the ball and threw it, and stood by to watch the game.

"I said, Coco, did you send that bag?" Tong Xi said with a smile, "When Brother Ran took it, I saw that the sender is your name on the package."

Chen Shanqiu said: "Tong Lao, don't be disrespectful for "old". "

"It's okay, it's okay." Tong Xi said, "Are you okay? Huh?"

Zhang Pengcheng paused.

"It's okay, I gave it to you, but she didn't..."

"She doesn't have a boyfriend, Coco." Tong Xi said.

Zhang Pengcheng's raised hand stopped in mid-air.

"Mia doesn't have a boyfriend. This is Dongye, oh, it's Park Dongye, he told me." Tong Xi said, "It seems that when she just graduated, she was cheated into a relationship once, and she didn't choose the right workplace. The opportunity for fresh graduates to be recruited by the school, the employment of small languages ​​is narrow, she had no choice but to work as a translator in the e-sports industry. ..."

The ball is thrown.

[Miss! 】

"It's okay, you can continue talking." Zhang Pengcheng said.

"Then I'll tell you, treat you as a brother." Tong Xi said, "She rejected you because...you saw the group photos in her circle of friends, she has been working hard to improve, and she is actually very career-oriented A person with a strong heart."

"Why did you tell me this." Zhang Pengcheng said jokingly, "Do you like her too?"

Tong Xi said, "Yes."

Zhang Pengcheng couldn't laugh anymore.

Chen Shanqiu and Wei Xin witnessed the scene of the car accident and voted one after another.

[Three-pointer! 】

[Two points! 】

[Three-pointer! 】

The score was quickly tied.

Zhang Pengcheng sighed.

"You are really a gentleman."

Tong Xi said: "Ming people don't say dark words, I want to achieve results and keep her."

Wei Xin said: "Co, since I've even said this, let me ask you, if the first team recruits you to be a substitute, will you go?"

……

Zhang Pengcheng looked at the basketball hoop and said firmly, "It's all NPL. What's the difference between the first team and the second team? I'm the starter, not a substitute."

Tong Xi said, "Encourage each other."

Wei Xin said, "Okay, then I will stay in the second team."

Chen Shanqiu said: "Eh, little spicy stick, don't be persuaded by Tong Lao, he scared you."

"I was calling with my brother's number. His name was Wei Long, but I couldn't bear to call him, so I asked for the number. It has nothing to do with Latiao..." Wei Xin said, "Hey, I was just thinking, High starting salary."

After all, Wei Xin still didn't say that he was left with a bribery record by Zhang Mingchen. Although the record was not made public, it was impossible for him to join the first team.

"Okay, let's work together." Chen Shanqiu listened, put his hands behind his head, and hammered his stiff neck.

[Nightwish five kills! 】

"Xia Liang?"

Xia Liang wakes up from the ice and snow in the canyon.

Pu Dongye waved at him, his cheeks flushed.

Seeing the girls following Park Dongye, Xia Liang probably knew the situation, so she asked Pu Dongye to hide by the window, and then used her wheelchair to block the girls' chasing eyes.

After many exchanges, Xia Liang not only learned Pu Dongye's combo technique, but also learned about Pu Dongye's shyness in front of girls younger than herself.

"Thank you. I didn't quite understand what they said just now. I kept nodding. They seemed to have misunderstood something." Park Dongye thanked and looked at Xia Liang's screen, "Are you still playing cocoon? No, tired, ?"

Xia Liang said, "I'm not tired."

Pu Dongye took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, found a photo of calligraphy, and shared it with Xia Liang: "I heard from Mia that there seems to be a word in your country called "Young students are awesome", and you are "Young students", very "frightening". . "

The characters on the rice paper are floating like luan and phoenix.

"No no."

Xia Liang paused, and slowly said: "In the training match before the winter vacation last year, if we lost all three games, we might not even have the chance to participate in the NDL, let alone advance now, thank you for letting me go. "

Pu Dongye smiled: "Do you think, know, the reason?"

"I..." Xia Liang lowered her head and patted the armrest of the wheelchair, "It's because of this, so take care of me."

Park Dongye said, "Yes."

Xia Liang was silent for a moment, then said: "No matter what, I still want to thank you."

"I haven't finished yet." Pu Dongye sat closer, put his phone by the armrest of the wheelchair, dialed the screen, and shared another photo with Xia Liang, "Look, is she an angel?"

Xia Liang saw a girl in a wheelchair just like herself in the photo.

The filter of the photo is light pink, and the background is the Ferris wheel in the playground. The girl is wearing princess curly hair, and a bunch of balloons are tied to her arm. The balloons are colorful and meet the girl's sweet smile.

Xia Liang said: "She is?"

Park Dongye said: "My sister, who is the same age as you, suffered nerve damage due to a car accident."

Xia Liang was slightly taken aback.

Could it be that Pu Dongye came to China to develop because he wanted to earn money to see a doctor for his sister?The "disease" of paraplegia is not too expensive if you just want to live.

But if you want to "cure", then the investment is a bottomless pit, all kinds of strange folk remedies, all kinds of so-called high-tech surgeries provided by small clinics, all kinds of imported new medicines...

Xia Liang said, "Did you come to KL because of her?"

Park Dongye said, "Yes."

Xia Liang took a deep breath.

"Well, senior... Let me tell you the truth, don't be angry... If it's a nerve injury, it's hard to stand up again, and it's useless to spend a lot of money... I, I'm not cursing her, even though South Korea may be medical... ..."

"Ah, no, she is very independent and assertive." Park Dongye clicked on the phone screen, zoomed in on the photo to his sister's T-shirt logo, and said intermittently, "Look, now, she is in our city's "Shuangxiong" Association, As an intern, it was she who told me that this year and next two years, she would be sent to China for an exchange. It just so happened that KL was recruiting people, so I came to explore Feng Shui first. "

Xia Liang suddenly realized.

"Then she's really, really good."

Park Dongye said: "You are also excellent, Xia Liang."

Xia Liang smiled bitterly: "What do I have?"

On the computer screen, there is still a game-ending interface for Smash Bros.

Pu Dongye said: "Let me tell you, to be honest, don't tell the team leader."

Xia Liang said, "Yes."

"I have been with her in China for the past two years, and I plan to retire and return to China at the end of next year." Park Dongye said, "KL is really a great club. It cannot be said to be perfect, but it has been advancing in exploration and is very promising."

Xia Liang said, "Well, I think so too."

Pu Dongye smiled happily and said, "Then I will wrong you for a while, okay? I hope you can come to the first team to develop, maybe you have to be a substitute for a while, but gold will always shine."

At this moment, Xia Liang finally understood why Sun Yueran invited them to play, and why Zhang Mingchen acquiesced to their participation even though he was obviously worried about 1 people.

A big change is coming.

He is faced with a choice, or perhaps at this moment, his teammates have already made a choice.

There is only a sofa bed and a TV in the room.

The TV rebroadcasted the press conference on NPL's strategic development the day before yesterday.

Zhan Ming, senior executive of Yunxiao Internet Group and representative of the Chinese team of Yihammer Cocoon Breaking Project, answered questions from reporters.

Remember: "The first question I would like to ask Mr. Zhan Ming is to launch the Tianxuan plan next year and cancel the NDL/NPL relegation system in the year after. Will this bring some risks? Will the lack of liquidity degrade the quality of the competition?"

Zhan Ming: "That's a good question. We've thought about it for a long time. If we look at the national sports system, there is basically no relegation system for non-football events. Although the relegation system can bring new Experience, but there will be a lack of a guarantee for long-term operation. We hope that through alliances and the establishment of alliance seats, the team will have a longer-term business philosophy, build a new ecosystem, try different strategies, and go to the Cultivate and discover new players, tactics, and the coaching level can also be more confident in coaching. We believe that whether it is short-term or long-term, such an attempt will help our team improve its competitiveness."

……

Sun Yueran took out a wooden box from the drying box, took out a cigar, and played with it slowly.

Cut off the eggplant cap, put the tobacco foot close to the flame, lightly moxibuste it several times, and rotate it from time to time to make the tobacco foot evenly heated.

Ji Tian said: "Sun Yueran, I don't understand or understand, just give me a sip."

Ji Tian's dissatisfaction with Sun Yueran comes from the usual, usually, Zhang Mingchen will always be used as a nanny by the first team, he can't understand it.

Sun Yueran smiled and handed it over.

"Sit down and smoke."

Ji Tian brought it and took a sip.

Such as pepper water poured into the lung cavity.

"Cough! Fuck, cough..."

Tears were choked out directly.

Sun Yueran said: "Now, do you understand?"

Ji Tian raised his head and clenched his teeth.

Sun Yueran said: "I am not as patient as Wen Bin, and I am not as patient as Zhang Mingchen, who treats you like children, so I will tell you clearly that you have signed for three years and have no NPL record. Some club will want to buy you, so..."

Sun Yueran took out the silk handkerchief from his breast pocket and threw it to Ji Tian's hand.

"So, what do you mean by "if Xia Liang doesn't start the first team, you won't start the first team"?Do you think you are qualified to make decisions for others?If you don't want to play, we don't force you, it's voluntary, KL is a regular club, but then again, if you want to become a master, you have to endure hardships. "

Ji Tian threw away the silk handkerchief, and wiped his mouth with his arm.

"This matter, I want to hear Xianjiao and Brother Chen say it himself, I..."

Sun Yueran said: "Will Xian Shichu and Zhang Mingchen not see the official news? I admit that your second team played very well this year, but you also understand it yourself.

If KL wants to go further, it has to endure the pain. In the long run, it is for your personal benefit.Ji Tian, ​​use your ambition on the field and aim at the enemy. "

Ji Tian said: "Why can't Xia Liang start? I can cooperate well with him, but there will be conflicts with others!"

Sun Yueran said: "Nonsense, [-]% of Xia Liang's combos are based on Pu Dongye. Since you can cooperate with him, you can also cooperate with Pu Dongye. Dongye has a very good personality and will not compete with you."

Ji Tian said: "Why can't Xia Liang start?"

Sun Yueran said: "Did you ask again?"

Ji Tian said, "Yes."

"Okay, I'll tell you."

On the sofa, the sparks of the smoke tail went out, burning a black hole.

Sun Yueran's tone was decisive.

"Xia Liang's physical examination report shows that because the game will cause excessive nervous tension, there is a non-negligible risk of convulsions. His legs were shaking after the NDL final. You saw it, right? The management originally said The decision was to let Xia Liang go to the second team to start, but because of the repeated disputes between you and Xian Shichu, he was allowed to be a substitute in the first team, and maybe let him practice in the next spring game, but it also depends on his subsequent physical condition."

After a long time, Ji Tian spoke.

"ok, I get it."

The smoke from the cigars filled the room, but he could tell that Sun Yueran was different from "Golden Dalai Lai".

Sun Yueran shook his head, picked up the cigar, and felt very distressed: "I really don't understand you, he is a paraplegic, what is there to be dissatisfied with making it this far, why do you insist on protecting him and delaying yourself? "

Ji Tian said: "You don't understand him. Although he walks slowly, he can definitely go the farthest."

The party goes on into the night.

Xia Liang turned off the live broadcast.

He had already digested the fact that he would be assigned to the first team as a substitute on his own, and then had a few cocktails.

On the second floor, the door of the room opened, Ji Tian ran down the stairs, crossed the noisy and muddy dance floor, looking for Xia Liang's location.

"Ye Shen? Ye Xiaopang?"

The laptop screen in front of the windowsill is dark.

Ji Tian saw that Xia Liang's wheelchair was parked on the terrace, with his back facing him, facing the lake in the distance.

Xia Liang's body was as thin as bones, and his skin, which had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, was as smooth as jade, but it had no temperature and no blood.The strand of blue hair hanging by the ear is indistinguishable in the night.

Ji Tian walked to Xia Liang's side.

He knows, he knows.

"How does the cigar taste?" Xia Liang raised his head and grabbed Ji Tian's hand, like he was holding Chaoyang.

Ji Tian said: "It's just a physical reason."

Xia Liang said, "What?"

Ji Tian said: "I asked for you. It's just because of physical reasons, so you can't start. You have to take good care of it, keep the green hills, don't be afraid... there is no firewood."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Xia Liang said with a smile, "But as I said, I will never give up."

Ji Tian said, "I broke my promise."

Xia Liang said: "No, we are still together, and we will always be together."

……

Ji Tian leaned down, pressed the brake, put his arms on the back of the wheelchair, leaned over his face, and wanted to kiss Xia Liang's pale lips.

Xia Liang slapped her hands.

"What's the smell, I choked to death."

"Uh..." The moonlight fell through the clouds on the water drop lake.

From time to time, Zhang Pengcheng, Wei Xin and Lin Risheng were tired from playing and came to watch the moon with Xia Liang and Ji Tian.

After the release, everyone has a direction and an answer in their hearts, which is much better than before.

Xia Liang is still very grateful to be able to walk through the NDL and the promotion match with his teammates. Although it was a bit sad to this night, but thinking about it carefully, everything seemed to be destined. He thought that he should also enjoy this week's short vacation.

"Then what... I have a proposal."

Suddenly, Xia Liang had a flash of inspiration.

"Before we go back to the base, let's go to Disneyland. I have a disability certificate. I think I can skip the line for you."

"Okay——" Lin Risheng said.

Everyone, including Wei Xin, readily agreed.
