Chapter 544: Retired Player
Dragon Country, KOK Esports Club.
It's late at night, but there's still a light on in the esports club.
Under the lamp, a man stares intently at the computer screen, tapping the keyboard with his left hand and sliding the mouse with his right hand.
The game he plays isn't the most popular game in reality, but it's definitely a classic game.
Even though virtual reality games are rampant now, there are still players who stick to this game.
And "Dongliu" is one of them.
It's like in the age of many games, there are still people who stick to playing Mario for ten years.
They repeat themselves over and over again, refreshing their own clearance records, others seem boring, but they enjoy it.
Sometimes, the persistence of a game is a kind of faith, and their happiness is not enough for outsiders.
As time ticks by, Dongliu manipulates his game character and fights with his teammates against the enemy camp.
Sweat left on his forehead, but he didn't wipe it, and his eyes were always focused on the computer screen.
"Actor, Quan Teh is an actor, and his spicy chicken teammates play Lao Tzu!"
When the computer screen turned gray, Dongliu suddenly stood up, picked up the keyboard and slammed it on the computer screen, slapping it down and down.
As a member of the esports industry, even though he is now 31 years old, his temper has never changed.
The current e-sports industry is no longer as pure as it was hundreds of years ago, and there are too many internal interests.
The first batch of esports players, their salaries were very low, and becoming professional players was supported by faith, but the joy of victory was pure.
But after the capital settles in, many things will go bad.
On the good side of capital, the treatment of professional players has become better, and they can not be hindered by material things while pursuing their beliefs.
But the essence of capital is to make money.
They have made the esports industry no longer pure, and the dark side of match-fixing and other aspects has also emerged.
Interests affect people's hearts.
Even the team boss can make a player give up a "victory" for the sake of profit.
There is a systematic chain of interests behind the match-fixing, and the players are like marionettes, even if the technology is too strong, when ordered by the above, the consequence of being unwilling to compromise is to be abandoned.
Although the life of professional players has improved, this aspect is difficult for some players to accept.
Because they set foot in this business for faith, and when they win, they can laugh happily even when they eat instant noodles.
And Dongliu is one of them.
He gave up a lot for e-sports, and he also chose to step into this industry.
Thanks to his excellent skills, he stood out and was invited by a club to become a professional player.
But the follow-up is not as simple as he thinks, and the reality is completely different.
Once in the extremely important "Heavenly Road" World Finals, he was told by the above that he needed to deliberately release water, and this game must be lost.
The reason is that the boss has pressed his team to lose, and if he doesn't lose, the boss will lose a lot.
What a ridiculous reason, so that the race was not released, but the teammates all compromised.
Because team esports is not a one-man game, it still loses in the end.
After that, he didn't need to take the initiative to mention it at all, and he was expelled from the club.
At that time, Dongliu thought that with my awesome technology, I would not keep my master here, but I would have my own place to keep my master, and I would decisively leave with my bag.
But after changing to one e-sports club after another, Dongliu found that the truth was so cruel.
He has yet to find an esports club that is purely striving for victory.
Maybe it's a coincidence, but Dongliu is completely disappointed in this line of work.
After almost ten years in this line, Dongliu has seen too much darkness.
There are cases where the bosses of their respective teams buy and lose, and both sides are crazy to give away heads, but they don't want to win, and there are also players who are unwilling to cooperate are replaced halfway......
"Dishes" in e-sports games are not the original sin, because more than 80% of the games played are dishes, they are the backbone of the game industry, and it is their "dedication" that makes those players who are called gods have the pleasure of abusing vegetables, and it is also the existence of Caibi that makes them stand out and be called gods.
But match-fixing is a stain on fair competition, which is unbearable.
Along the way, the mentality has changed, and the only thing that has not changed is Dongliu's irritable temper.
To do this, he has beaten his teammates and played the opposing team's players.
But every time he made a move, he would regret it, and he also changed to one e-sports club after another.
I have to say that at the moment of beating, he always felt very cool.
Today, he was fired again.
Because this time he was even more excessive, and while playing the "fake game", he even played the coach and the players.
If everyone hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to the boss's office and beat the boss together.
Fuck esports, fuck dreams, I'm going to blow your heads off!
In such a state of mind, he ended his career, and was even banned by the organizer of the game "Heavenly", and his game career was completely over.
While feeling happy, Dongliu also felt extremely lost in his heart.
He worked hard for ten years, and his entire youth was given to the "Heavenly Road", but it ended in the form of this bereavement dog.
Looking at the computer screen, Dongliu looked a little distracted.
The shattered screen was just like his heart, full of cracks.
Taking a deep breath, Dongliu picked up the suitcase at his feet and walked towards the door.
He was supposed to leave tomorrow, but he decided to leave now.
At this time, he felt that the air in the club was filthy and disgusting.
And...... He just smashed the computer, he has to pay, leave now, happy!
The location of the club is in the center of the city and it is brightly lit at night.
Walking on the road, Dongliu couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in his heart.
The dream that he had held on for ten years was completely gone, and because of the ban, he will never be able to step on the stage of victory again......
Thinking of this, Donghuan turned and raised his middle finger in the direction where the club was located.
I'm so angry, I want to beat those bastards to death!
Some people are obscure when they are angry, and some people are particularly irritable when they are angry.
And Dongliu belongs to the extreme of the irascib, he wants to hit people!
Of course, he would never make a move for no reason, after all, he is a person who has experienced 16 years of compulsory education.
Walking aimlessly, Dongliu didn't even know where to go.
If he went home, it was so embarrassing, his parents didn't support him to set foot in this line of work, because of his insistence, he broke up with his family.
I wanted to mix up the results and go back, proudly telling my parents how famous his son is, well-known at home and abroad, how many fans he has, and so on.
But now he's just a lost dog that has been expelled.
Going back at this time, Dongliuning felt too embarrassed, so he naturally didn't want to.
Sighing, Dongliu felt that he had better find a job first, his e-sports career in the past few years had not allowed him to save much money, so the most important thing at the moment was to solve his livelihood.
It was already late at night, so after taking out his mobile phone, opening the software and checking the hotels around him, Dongliu chose a cheap one, and then dragged his luggage away.
There are some things that the more I want to let go, the more I can't let go.
Dongliu had long thought that this day would come, and at that time he felt that he should have raised his middle finger handsomely, and then flipped the table and left, extremely free.
But when it really came, Dongliu's heart was still full of reluctance.
His love for gaming has not faded, and how much he wants to continue to fight, step on many opponents, and build his own undefeated esports dynasty.
However, the e-sports dynasty under the capital settlement is far less attractive than the money comes from.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more I wanted to turn around, grab those team members and bosses from their sleep, and hammer their heads.
But if he did, he felt that he should stay in a detention center tonight, not a hotel.
My temper that has nowhere to put it.
Youth is over, and the old man's part-time career is about to begin......
If you think about it, the rest of your life is simply a tragedy.
If you don't have the ability, you don't have the talent, and if you want the technology, in addition to playing games, you have a fart technique.
And now he is 31 years old, and he is already in the stage of declining ability.
Although the average human life expectancy is 100 years old, from the age of 30, all aspects of physical fitness will go downhill, and it is simply unrealistic to change the game and retake this road.
At this moment, Dongliu's heart was full of resentment.
Before entering this industry, he naturally thought about what to do after retiring, after all, this industry eats the rice of youth, and retirement is not far away for professional players.
At that time, Dongliu thought that he would win a few championships, and then retire to open an online store, learn from other popular e-sports retired players, sell meat muffins to make a fortune, and have no worries about food and clothing in the future......
Looking back now, Dongliu really wanted to blow his head 10 years ago with a hammer.
Stupid as a pig, how could he make this decision!
Now that I've been mixed up for ten years, I haven't gotten anything, and I've paid for all the money I earned......
While thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I almost couldn't help but turn around and give the club an order!
He has suffered too much in terms of temper, but every time he humbly apologizes and promises that there will be no more, but every time he makes a move, he will always forget about it......
Of course, he beats people, and he is often beaten.
After all, there are always those who can't be beaten, and there have been cases where they have been specifically targeted and hacked.
But Dongliu has never bowed his head, and with the blessing of his temper, he has to fight even if he can't beat it, just like a Viking warrior, his head is not like words.
According to what a certain esports club owner said to him at the time, a young man like you can't get along anywhere, so retire early, or you will regret it later.
Now that the prophecy has come true, Dongliu really wants to thank his whole family, it's really accurate!
Turn an intersection and the hotel will appear across the road.
Dongliu glanced at his mobile phone, determined the name and address of the hotel, and then stepped into it.
There is no service staff in this hotel, full surveillance is shrouded, and after entering the hotel, a room number pops up on Dongliu's mobile phone.
Dongliu was about to take a step towards the elevator.
At this time, he suddenly noticed the advertising space placed on the side of the elevator.
Gorgeous live-action battle footage is playing on it, and text commentary appears from time to time, introducing the abilities unleashed by both sides of the battle.
Curious, Dongliu approached and began to stare at the screen to observe carefully.
This scene ended in less than 5 minutes, but Dongliu thought it was very exciting.
The movie can have such smooth and gorgeous battle scenes, which really makes him feel amazing, and he thinks it is a new action movie that is about to be launched.
At that moment, a line of words appeared on the advertising screen.
Conquer online, your second world!
