Farewell to Lin Shengrong, Xu Ruoguang spent a good year peacefully with the old lady in the orphanage.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
In this era where capital has set its sights on e-sports, as the most famous player in League of Legends, Xu Ruoguang's spotlight will never be less.
"does it worth?"
"There must be such a leader."
"But...he can't create much profit for us, and we don't have any contact with him."
"It's enough for him to be a good example."
"Is the investigation clear?"
"It's been found out, and I'm clean."
"Decided?"
"Decided."
In what looked like a small private room, the newly appointed head of Tengjing Sports had sharp eyes and was changing glasses.
"Are you ready to introduce it?"
"Yes, it's done. Take back the competition rights, integrate the e-sports industry, and create an unprecedented big cake."
"That's what we're going to do."
The thin middle-aged man sitting next to him spoke meticulously and remained serious even at a party.
"What did they say?"
"JD is very decisive. I heard that the budget has been approved at 670 million yuan, and they will enter the market this year."
"SN has also made a commitment, but we need to guarantee that the value of the quota will not be reduced within three years. If it is reduced to an unbearable level, they have the right to unconditionally terminate the contract."
"laugh."
The person in charge smiled disdainfully, "That's it."
"It's understandable. After all, it's a critical period for them now. Mr. Ma has beaten them back steadily and they must seize the high-end market."
"Ah."
The person in charge smiled,
"Isn't JD also engaged in e-commerce? Why are they so generous?"
"Mr. Ma is really good at what he does, but today he can beat SN in a sinking market. Will another Ahri beat him in a sinking market in the future?"
"Who knows."
"okay."
The person in charge stretched and said, "Now that we have decided, let's start operations immediately. We must get this quota this year."
"Yes, I understand."
"Multiple efforts will be made so that those who are ready to enter the game will also contribute to my efforts."
The person in charge said lightly,
"The popularity is good this year. I heard that he was originally among the candidates, but the higher-ups were a little hesitant. What if we do something to make it happen?"
"Once it is confirmed that the hope exceeds 30%, we will immediately mobilize all resources and push him to this altar."
"The more successful he is, the bigger our cake will be."
Almost no one knew about this small meeting.
At this time, the enthusiasm for winning the championship has become more and more fermented.
The major self-media have already compiled their articles and started to collect traffic like crazy for the first LPL championship in six years.
"Crush SKT three to zero, K1 finally becomes the king!"
"Never admit defeat! K1's journey has been so full of twists and turns!"
"Xu Ruoguang: I will protect everything in LPL!"
"He is the glory of LPL."
“Looking at the top ten most beautiful e-sports players, the first one is unrivaled!”
"The selection of the champion skin has not yet been revealed, who will Xu Ruoguang choose?"
The majority of K1 fans and Xu Ruoguang fans were overjoyed.
"Stop bragging, stop bragging, I'm afraid Brother Guang will be proud!"
"I'm already starting to feel proud."
"Brother, why are you top laner with two crowns?"
"Isn't my Brother Guang worthy of bragging?"
"Indeed! From Spring Split to Summer Split, from Summer Split to World Championship, Brother Guang, Brother Diguang, when will you come to C me?!"
"The last C of yours probably doesn't mean what I think it means."
"The guy above wants Brother Guang to pay attention. I've found out your IP. I'll give you an extra ten degrees next summer!"
"I'm super, Dragon King, right? Now the Dragon King is so advanced? He's already packed a box of weapons?"
Forget it, some people are willing to die in order to express their love for Xu Ruoguang.
When that affectionate recitation came out from a certain school's radio room, all Xu Ruoguang's fans who heard it went numb.
"I really want to be Mr. Xu Ruoguang's dog, but Mr. Xu Ruoguang said that he likes cats."
"I cried."
"Because I'm neither a cat nor a dog, I'm just a little sewer rat."
At first glance, he was identified as a pure gay man.
When this video was posted to the video website, netizens became numb.
"Outrageous!"
"I'm Brother Guang, I've already called the police."
"What a shame, thief, is this a human being?"
"You are more or less a bit of a crook!"
"Why can someone be completely shameless? Isn't this invincible?"
Following closely behind are the major video bloggers.
There is no need to say congratulations to K1 and congratulations to Xu Ruoguang, it’s just very formulaic.
The real ruthlessness is what harms society, you Brother Tiger.
He cried bitterly in front of the camera,
"Brother Guang! Just wait, wait for me!"
"I must pick up your call this year!"
"Ah, Brother Guang, I'm not done with you!"
When Xu Ruoguang saw this paragraph, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and typed an emoji underneath.
That is emoticons.
A very simple sweaty soybean.
Then the number of replies exceeded 1,000 within an hour. You can imagine how popular he is now.
"Hahahaha, Brother Guang is speechless!"
"Good job, it's held!"
"Brother Guang, my Brother Guang!"
"Brother Guang, can you stop being so cunning? You're almost making me lose my mind!"
"The missing person returns!"
"Dad, where should we go next year?"
“I’ve done a great job of filial piety to my family.”
"Your dad? My dad!"
"How shameless are you? Why didn't I know when I had so many brothers? Dad, look at them!"
What followed closely was the reports from major official media.
It is now the end of 2016.
The Blue Speed Incident set China's e-sports back ten years, and online games were called electronic ice.
However, with the passage of time, today's e-sports has attracted too much attention, and the ideas above have also changed somewhat, and the blockade is not as strict as before.
So now, even the official media has begun to spontaneously promote K1 and Xu Ruoguang.
Some things are useless if they are blocked.
Hubei Xiaotuan Tuan: "In the just-concluded League of Legends e-sports event, the KING ONE team representing China swept the SKT T1 team from South Korea 3-0 in the final and won the 2016 League of Legends World Championship. Our team from Hubei
The young man Xu Ruoguang, as the absolute core, has successfully brought honor to the country! Let us congratulate Xu Ruoguang and the K1 team together!"
Southern Online: "The 2016 League of Legends Project World Championship has come to an end. In the past six years, our country has never won a championship, but this record was broken this year by K1 led by player Xu Ruoguang!"
The center of the small group: "Congratulations to our country's K1 team for winning the League of Legends World Championship. The most valuable player is Xu Ruoguang from Hubei. Let us congratulate him together. That's awesome, my light!"
Ziguangge: "To achieve a breakthrough, from scratch, Chinese e-sports has gone on for six years!"
The reports are overwhelming, and the direction of the wind has begun to change.
Although, not much.
At this moment, Xu Ruoguang received a somewhat special invitation.
Xu Ruoguang, such a calm person, couldn't help but feel confused for a while.
"Are you sure you want to invite me?"
"You are joking."
The staff over there smiled politely.
"We have sent the specific time via your email, you can take a look."
Xu Ruoguang was silent for a while, then opened the orphanage's computer and logged in to his email.
Sure enough, there was an invitation message lying there.
He checked the time and still felt a little dreamlike.
"Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu?"
The staff over there sounded a little confused.
"I am here."
Xu Ruoguang took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.
"Okay, then, do you have time to come over and record? The address is No. 11, Fuxing Road, Beijing. We look forward to your arrival."
"good."
Xu Ruoguang put down the phone, still feeling a little magical.
seriously?
He fell down on the rocking chair next to him, his eyes dull.
Can I get on this?
Even though he is becoming more mature and steady, he can't help but wonder if he has met a liar.
"forget about it!"
Xu Ruoguang thought about it over and over and simply gave it up.
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, I got up secretly, skillfully climbed out of the orphanage door, and ran into the Internet cafe.
Don't ask why you didn't walk through the door. He coughed when you walked in. The good thing is that this mouthful is thrilling!
So tonight, among the king players of Ionia, there are a few more sad people.
Playing ranked games right after winning the championship!?
What are you doing!
Three days later, just when the excitement was about to subside, a big news made the entire e-sports circle, not just the League of Legends circle, completely excited!
"Tonight at 21:30, the "Dialogue" column invites Xu Ruoguang, the champion of League of Legends e-sports, and Qin Zhongze, the head of Tengjing Sports, to reveal the secrets of this emerging industry of e-sports."
"Is it to play with things to lose one's ambition? Or to win glory for the country? Please stay tuned."
How to describe the wave caused by this news?
Like a drop of water suddenly falling into scalding hot oil.
Even fans who always thought Xu Ruoguang was omnipotent couldn't help but wipe their eyes, suspecting that they were wrong.
But I wiped it again and again, and the message was still there.
This time, it was completely boiling!
"??????"
"F*ck! I really have to f**k now!"
"I'm super light!!!!"
"Is this what Brother Guang is doing now?!"
"No wonder I've been missing for so long. After a long time, you gave me a big surgery!"
"The big one is coming!"
"The really big one is coming now!"
"For friends who don't watch TV, "Dialogue" is a program on CCTV's financial channel. It mainly focuses on social hot spots and explores emerging industries. It often invites the leaders of some industry unicorns. Guang Ge's lineup is indeed full.
Already."
"Am I the only one who pays attention to that Tengjing Sports?"
"The LPL has been restructured. It is no longer Xiao Wang. The official has taken over. This is probably the department that Tencent is responsible for."
"I'm super, brother understand is here!"
Amid the turbulent discussions, Xu Ruoguang's phone calls were also inundated with calls from teammates and players he knew.
"You kid, you're going to make a fortune just by keeping silent!"
This is Ming Kai who is envious.
"It's so impressive, my light!"
This is the old iguang, Uzi.
"Brother Guang, why are you so fierce?"
This is Ah Shui who is so envious that he becomes separated from his body.
"Awesome, Brother Guang!"
This is Awei and Hirano Aya.
"Oh my god, Brother Guang, you are so awesome!"
This is doinb.
Xu Ruoguang smiled helplessly.
Although he looks helpless on the surface, he is actually proud of himself.
Even he thought this was a very honorable thing.
At 9:30 pm, the program will be broadcast on time.
Xu Ruoguang sat with the old lady and watched.
The old lady knew that he would be there today, and she looked at him very seriously.
With the opening remarks of the program, the host took the lead in introducing Xu Ruoguang and Tan Zhongze.
Then, the first one is a very pointed question.
"Player Xu Ruoguang, how many years have you been involved in e-sports?"
On the screen, Xu Ruoguang didn't think much, "It's been close to three years."
"Okay, three years, excluding the time when you have not officially played. Player Xu Ruoguang, you won the championship in South Korea last year, and you can win the championship with us this year. I also admire your ability."
"Thanks."
"So, what do you think is the biggest benefit that this career of e-sports players brings to you? Is it money?"
The host asked very straightforwardly.
"As far as I know, your worth has broken the record of 24,000 in the transfer market."
Xu Ruoguang was a very straightforward person, and he nodded.
"It's money. The initial driving force for me to pursue a career is definitely like this."
"Well, yes, I understand that your childhood experience was indeed quite rough, which is actually understandable."
"Then I want to ask, if you had no money, would you still play professionally?"
Xu Ruoguang glanced at him with some doubts,
"Then let me ask you a question, if you had no money, would you choose to be a host?"
The host immediately said with some pride,
"I will, because it has always been my dream to become an excellent host. Even if I don't have money, I still want to be such a person."
Xu Ruoguang said calmly, "That means you have never been short of money."
Suddenly, the host was dumbfounded.
Tan Zhongze, who was sitting next to Xu Ruoguang, almost laughed out loud.
The host has been digging holes, and Xu Ruoguang's sudden counterattack is to his liking.
"Do you know how much a meal costs? For me, it only costs two yuan and two steamed buns. This is life."
"Do you know how long it takes for me to place a so-called order worth tens of dollars? Do you know that overnight packages are cheaper than usual, so I reverse day and night?"
"Yes, of course I can say that I did it for noble professional sentiments and to save the LPL. It's okay if I want to say that, because I did it."
"But, I don't want to say that because it's too illusory."
"The purpose of working professionally is to support yourself and to survive."
"That's why I chose to play professionally."
The host was speechless.
What else is there to say?
There's nothing wrong with what people say, I don't even have enough to eat, what dreams do you expect me to have?
He could only nod in agreement.
Questions came to Xu Ruoguang one after another, but Xu Ruoguang answered them all in an understatement.
Qin Zhongze makes some additions from time to time to talk about the current development prospects of e-sports.
At the end of the show, the host finally asked the question.
"Do you think e-sports should be promoted? Because many times we have some stereotypes about this kind of thing. Isn't e-sports really just playing with things to lose one's ambition?"
Xu Ruoguang took a deep breath,
"Whether we promote it or not is not something we can decide. It is determined by the social environment."
"Everyone likes this thing, so it shouldn't be hated."
"Someone once said, if everyone likes it, but you don't like it, who do you think you are? I agree with this statement."
"I don't recommend you to become an e-sports player, because the threshold for this industry is not lower than your study. If you want to escape from studying by becoming a player, then I advise you to give up this idea, because e-sports is more about talent. I take this path
, also because both my parents are dead, I can only support myself, let alone playing e-sports, I am willing to drive screws, I just want to live."
"As for whether e-sports is about playing with things and losing one's ambition, this is not something that one person can define. I believe that with the development of the times, the answer will emerge for everything."
"At least for now, it exists."
"To exist is to be reasonable."
Xu Ruoguang finished speaking seriously.
He didn't avoid the question.
But to put it bluntly, no one can define it.
Watertight.
It is indeed his turn to stand out for such a person.
The host sighed inwardly.
He nodded, and the next step was to interview Qin Zhongze.
Xu Ruoguang listened quietly and waited until it was over.
After getting off the stage, the host said apologetically,
"I'm sorry, but that's what the script says and I have to ask. I actually like e-sports very much."
That's right, what the host asks is actually not up to him.
But Xu Ruoguang's answer was indeed his own.
Because this question seems to be just trying to embarrass him.
It was just resolved skillfully by Xu Ruoguang.
Xu Ruoguang smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.
At this time, a happy smile appeared on the old woman's face.
