Liu Jiangqing still maintained the posture of answering the phone, listening to the bursting of fireworks here and on the other side of the phone, sitting on the chair and looking up to the sky.
I saw a beam of meteor-like light rushing straight from the barrel to the sky, flying overhead and exploding with a bang in the dark night. The loud noise shocked people and made their hearts tremble, but then there was a scene
A delightful high-altitude fireworks display.
With this explosion, a huge golden firework immediately appeared in the air, like golden chrysanthemums blooming in autumn. The flowers were compact and distinct, but even more dazzling.
Seeing that the golden fire chrysanthemum was blooming at its maximum moment, countless pink fireworks groups as small as discs separated from its bright and slender petals. Each one was exquisite and cute, and scattered like silver shavings falling into the Milky Way.
Before the golden chrysanthemum disappeared, another firework danced in the sky again. Long strips of colorful fireworks crisscrossed each other and hung in the sky, like a waterfall of starlight scattered in the sky, making the night as bright as day.
Large-scale fireworks are launched one after another, turning the black winter night into a stage with infinite possibilities. No one knows what the fireworks will look like next time, so they all watch them from a distance with anticipation. I just hope that this beautiful scenery will not happen again.
Stop in the next second.
Ten minutes later, the sound of the cannons on the phone was much weaker, and there was only the last fireworks tube left in the square in front of him for the curtain call performance. Liu Jiangqing opened her mouth and was about to say something to Lu Yunqian, but she heard someone over there.
A slight sob came out.
"Sissi?"
"Well... I, I thought of my brother... He used to accompany me to watch the fireworks. This is the first New Year without him... I, a little sad..." Lu Yunqian rubbed her eyes with her hands that were red from the cold.
, but there was still confusion in front of me, and the tears seemed to be unable to be wiped away and could not stop flowing down.
"..."
A huge firework filled the entire sky with a bang, and bright blue light shone on the faces of everyone who looked at it. But after it gradually faded into fine silver shavings, there was no more movement in the sky, and there was no movement in the square.
It was suddenly so quiet that it was a bit uncomfortable.
The fireworks are over.
Liu Jiangqing still looked up at the dark sky, as if there were fireworks there, and stood up in a daze.
In his memory, on the New Year's Eve of the year when his father passed away, he sat alone in an empty home watching other families celebrating reunions. He didn't take a bite of food, but he didn't feel hungry at all. Because sadness had already filled his body, making him immersed in
In his loneliness, he is completely unaware of his body's survival needs.
No one comforted or accompanied him. In this situation, 17-year-old Liu Jiangqing almost thought he was going to die. The grief and fear made him quietly shed tears, but after crying, his mind became much clearer and he understood the future.
You can only walk the road by yourself and cannot rely on anyone else.
From then on, he ushered in his own transformation and became much stronger. Not only did he successfully complete his studies, he also became a professional competitive star. But facing Lu Yunqian's roughly the same situation at this time, Liu Jiangqing could not help but
He knew how to comfort her, because what he said based on his experience must be so sane as to be inhumane.
Fortunately, during this period, the sobs on the other end of the phone gradually disappeared. Liu Jiangqing hesitated and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Sorry, I actually cried when I called you." Lu Yunqian said softly. Although she still had a nasal voice, she had obviously calmed down.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Jiangqing finally felt relieved, but her tone remained calm.
"Lord Landlord, when they come back after the Chinese New Year, will we actually form a team?" Lu Yunqian just cheered up and thought about the future of the team, and asked slightly worriedly.
"We are already a team, what does it mean to be truly established?" Liu Jiangqing chuckled, "Registration for the qualifiers will begin in March. Then you can fill out a form on the website and write down the information about the participants."
"The contestant information...is everyone's real name and game ID?" Lu Yunqian asked.
"Well, we also need to choose the local regions to participate in the competition and conduct auditions in seven regions and cities." Liu Jiangqing said.
"District city auditions? But everyone is not in the same city, what should we do?" Lu Yunqian became anxious when she heard this.
"It doesn't matter. There are no offline venues required for the auditions before the eight qualifying rounds. Selecting a region only determines which opponent you will compete with." Liu Jiangqing explained.
"What's eight into one?" Lu Yunqian blinked, her mind completely blank on the process of e-sports competitions.
"Alas..." Liu Jiangqing let out a long sigh and began to educate this guy on his illiteracy, "Forget it, I'll tell you from the beginning. The preliminaries are divided into regional and city auditions and eight parts. Registration for the preliminaries will begin in March.
, and then conduct an online knockout competition in seven regions of East China, South China, Central China, North China, Northwest, Southwest and Northeast China in late April. Around June, the seven regions will determine the first-place team in the audition. In the end, this
The seven teams will compete against the professional teams that were eliminated in last season's NFL points round, and the winner will be eligible to participate in the next season's NFL."
When Liu Jiangqing finished her last sentence, Lu Yunqian almost rolled her eyes and fainted. To her, this long series of competition procedures was no less than listening to the Bible, what to do when, and where to advance from.
It goes in one ear and out the other. The only thing I feel is that it’s so fucking difficult to play a game! It’s so scary to choose a team to play in the NFL after being selected from so many major districts across the country!
"Qian Qian?" Liu Jiangqing asked curiously after hearing that there was no movement for a long time.
"Ah, oh!" Lu Yunqian suddenly came back to her senses and said awkwardly, "Well... Landlady, can you register for me when the time comes? The procedures for these competitions are really complicated!"
"Oh, you don't need to worry about this. Since Xiao Yuan has voluntarily taken on the responsibility of team coach and boss, he will help you handle these things." Liu Jiangqing said.
"That's right! I almost forgot that brother Xiao Yuan is our big boss, so I'll just concentrate on the competition!" Lu Yunqian suddenly woke up and felt much more relaxed. The sadness on her face when she was listening to the explanation disappeared instantly.
trace.
"But there is one more thing you need to do." Liu Jiangqing suddenly became serious.
"What?" Lu Yunqian asked quickly.
"Li You."
Lu Yunqian was stunned, and her expression became serious. She had always thought that Liu Jiangqing not only hated Xiao Yuan, but also hated Li You. The two often started fighting when they disagreed, and even proposed to fight over and over again. Now she heard that he was unexpectedly surprised
The fact that Li You was brought up so solemnly shows that Li You joining the team is very, very important.
But Li You has already stated that he is only here to "help" Team 01 until the end of March. He will be preparing to go to the army in April, and it is impossible to accompany everyone to participate in the competition. Moreover, this is a major event related to his life and career, even if
How could I possibly retain him if I shamelessly tried to persuade him to stay?
"He said he wouldn't participate, so forget it." Lu Yunqian said dejectedly, feeling very entangled in her heart.
"Joining Team Zero One is Li You's last chance to enter the competitive world. If he has been unwilling to accept the NFL like me, he will definitely consider it carefully. Just ask him first as a friend and leave the choice to him.
Yes." Liu Jiangqing said.
"Well, thank you, landlord. I understand!" Lu Yunqian nodded, her eyes becoming much firmer. (To be continued)
