Luo Chengyu's father works in a nearby factory, working three shifts, and doesn't get off work until eight o'clock. His mother sells clothes in a store and goes to work at nine o'clock, but she has a son who is a student at home, so she gets up at seven o'clock every day.
Luo Chengyu came home at half past six. The living room was quiet except for the water dispenser that was shining.
He was afraid that his mother would sit on the sofa and watch TV when he got home. This kind of horror story had happened twice this year. Both times, his parents woke up in the middle of the night and discovered that Luo Chengyu was not sleeping in the room.
Fortunately, Luo Chengyu has grown up and is beaten less often, but a lecture is definitely indispensable.
Today is the weekend, so he doesn't have to get up at seven o'clock to go to class. Logically speaking, he can get a good night's sleep, but Luo Chengyu has been unable to sleep and is extremely excited.
After all, he is still a seventeen-year-old boy, and it is okay to stay up all night occasionally.
I was tossing and turning in bed, and the time soon came to eight o'clock. My mother, who didn't have to get up early, got up to wash up and start making breakfast. She would go to work soon. They only have two days of rest a month.
Luo Chengyu was thinking about going to work professionally. He was a little afraid to tell his parents the news, mainly because his father who made the decision was not liberal and even a bit old-fashioned.
But when he thought about making money, he jumped out of bed firmly and opened the door with a faint dark circle under his eyes.
Mom Li Hui is cooking noodles, and dad Luo Xiaohao has just arrived home. He is sitting on the sofa watching TV in his work clothes. A yellow safety helmet is placed on the coffee table. There are some apples on the coffee table.
"Xiaoyu, are you up? Do you want some noodles?"
"No, you eat, I have something to tell you."
Luo Xiaohao gnawed at the apple and looked at Luo Chengyu, saying: "What's the matter? Is it because the school wants to charge some fees or the pocket money is not enough? I will call your teacher and ask you. If you want money, you'd better think clearly."
If it were really the original owner of this opening statement, he might not dare to say it.
"I want to play professionally."
Dad didn't hear clearly: "What are you fighting for?"
"E-sports... is a profession that can make money."
"You make a lot of money!"
Luo Xiaohao became popular immediately. E-sports? Isn’t it just a game? You’ll pass the college entrance examination in two years. What kind of career do you have? Am I lame or paralyzed? Our family needs you to make money? You don’t want to study anymore.
?
Li Hui quickly tried to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, let's see what you said? Just go if Xiaoyu wants to go today and Sunday. Just come back early. Do you need money? I'll give you a hundred yuan, go ahead."
"
One hundred dollars...
When he thought that he had to ask his parents for money now, his idea of making money became even more determined.
"Dad, I'm serious. Studying is not the only way out, and you can all see my results. Maybe I'm really not that good. If I continue to study, I probably won't be able to do anything good."
Luo Xiaohao was about to lose his temper at first, thinking that it would be okay to let his son go out to play today on Sunday. But when Luo Chengyu said this, he suddenly felt angry for no reason:
"Saw? What did we see? Your teacher said that you slept in class every day. This year you didn't do any homework when you came home. You took a pen and paper every day and wrote something about hurting and penetrating... Is this something in the game?
How can you get such poor results if you put all this energy into studying?"
He spoke very loudly, and if the neighbor next door was not sleeping at this time, he would wake him up... Luo Xiaohao was really angry to the extreme. He was already very disappointed with his son, and hoped that he could change his mind and study hard to get into college.
I can get out of this small place in the future.
But now, in order to play games, he came to me and said that he didn't have the talent to study... What kind of talent is not talent? Is it reasonable for you not to work hard?
"You're still playing games with results like this... You're not allowed to go out today. Stay at home and reflect on what you did this year. If your scores don't improve in the next exam, I'll throw your computer away!"
After saying that, I went back to the room to sleep in anger and didn't even eat breakfast. What else could I eat when I was so full of anger?
Luo Chengyu sighed, thinking that it was hard to watch videos on the computer at home, so he dropped it. Anyway, he didn't use this computer much in the past year.
But it’s hard to handle it because my family is so opposed to it.
Li Hui also sighed. She felt sorry for her son, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of giving him 100 yuan to go out to play. But there was nothing she could do if Luo Xiaohao got angry. He really knew how to hit people.
"Don't hate your dad, he does it for your own good."
Luo Chengyu nodded and returned to the room.
He knew that there was no parent who didn't love their children, and what his father said made sense from his perspective. What his generation valued was that hard work would lead to success.
But times have changed.
In today's society, hard work may not necessarily lead to success. Our current family is a replica of our previous self. Didn't our previous self work hard enough? But was the final result good?
Working hard just to buy a house? But the price of the house increased much faster than he could make money while working.
After Luo Chengyu closed the door, he stood with his back against the door. The feeling of loss was like a stone pressing on his chest, making him breathless.
Scenes from his previous life flashed before his eyes, making him clenched his fists.
No one is qualified to tell me how I should live my life. They don’t even know what their own life is like. Those who point fingers at my life will leave after speaking.
Even parents, even future lovers... but life is my own, whether I live a happy life is my own business, and only I can be responsible for myself!
go!
I must go professional this year!
As early as a month ago, when he was ranked in the top 100 of the national server, a team invited Luo Chengyu to try out, but he was obsessed with reaching the top spot in the national server and getting talents, so he delayed it until now.
Before the system was uninstalled, all his attributes had reached over 90, which was not far from the peak of a normal person.
Now with the blessing of three talents, there is no doubt that Luo Chengyu is now a god in the e-sports industry. He can't find any reason to give up the idea of participating in the competition this year.
Not only to make money, but also to realize the value of his life... He doesn't want to live until the age of 20 or 30 as useless as in his previous life. He doesn't want to think about it for a moment. No matter what he does, he wants to succeed.
When I came to my senses again, it was almost 10 o'clock.
Li Hui had already gone to work, and Luo Xiaohao was sleeping soundly, with deafening snores...
He began to think of a plan.
There were four teams that invited Luo Chengyu for trial training, two of which were in the top league and two in the secondary league... Luo Chengyu, who had just received his e-sports talent, selectively forgot about the teams in the secondary league.
In terms of income, players in the top leagues definitely earn more.
And if professional players are divided into two levels, those with average attributes of 80-90 can hang out in the secondary leagues, while those with average attributes of 90-100 are mostly in the top leagues, not to mention that Luo Chengyu also has three kinds of e-sports talents.
Going to the minor leagues is a waste of life.
The trial training in the two places will take at least four days or even a week. I have to squeeze out this time and find someone to help... Unless I run away from home, it is impossible to go out alone for several days.
