June 5, 4 p.m., Cloud City.

Yuncheng is also a southern province, and the weather in June is as hot as Zhonghai.

But the city, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, close to the 800-mile Dongting Lake system, has a benefit. After a few days of exposure, it is usually followed by a rainstorm for several days to cool down.

Yun Luoyang and the crayfish plane descended just in time for this rain, and the heavy rain poured outside the window, and dark clouds shrouded the entire Cloud City.

The two men got off the plane and came to the exit.

After getting the suitcase and coming out of the exit, Yun Luoyang saw his good brothers Gao Chen, Chen Hui and Deng Yang standing at the exit to greet him.

The news of Yun Luoyang's return was not told to his parents, nor did he inform Yun Weiyang and Ye Jianxue. Because the day after tomorrow is the college entrance examination, they are still in school and are about to take the exam.

The time in college is much more generous, and there was no class in the afternoon today, so Gao Chen Chen and Deng Yang came to pick him up. As for Zhou Guan and Li Muyun, it is because they are in different departments, they have classes in the afternoon, and they are professional classes, which are not easy to class.

"Yun Luoyang, this way, this way!" Gao Chen found him at a glance in the vast sea of people, and kept waving at him excitedly.

Yun Luoyang walked over with a salute, and looked at Gao Chen, who was no longer as strong as last year and was gradually developing in the direction of the fat house, and couldn't help but sigh. Gao Chen: They will have summer vacation in July, and they will be juniors in September. Yun Weiyang and Ye Jianxue have also finished their high school courses, will take the college entrance examination soon, and will go to college in September this year.

Before you know it, a year has passed. Time flies, everything feels like yesterday.

"Brother Chenzi, Brother Yang, Brother Hui, long time no see." The crayfish walked over and greeted politely with a smile. Gao Chen, Deng Yang, Chen Hui, they saw each other every day as early as the month when the crayfish stayed in Cloud City, and they often ate barbecue and drank beer together, so they were very familiar with each other.

"It's been a long time, but the little shrimp has grown taller."

Gao Chen came over and gave the crayfish and Yun Luoyang a hug, seeing that the crayfish had grown a lot taller and his body was stronger, he wanted to praise a few more words, but suddenly saw the crayfish's oily hair, and couldn't help frowning: "You are still the same as before, you just don't like to wash your hair." ”

The crayfish scratched its head and smiled innocently.

"Your changes are quite big, your little belly has come out, and you have gained a lot of weight."

Yun Luoyang patted Gao Chen's increasingly thick arms, it turned out that Gao Chen was strong, but now he is really fat, at least twenty pounds fat, it seems that even if he is not around, he is still the same as in his previous life, playing League of Legends in Internet cafes every day, eating takeout and drinking Coke, and being a happy game fat house.

Gao Chen unconsciously touched his belly, he was really a lot fatter.

Yun Luoyang looked at Chen Hui and Deng Yang again, and they didn't change much. Deng Yang's enthusiasm for the League of Legends is not as great as Gao Chen's, he likes to exercise when he has nothing to do, and his figure is okay.

Chen Hui is the kind of person who is born not fat, and the amount of food is about the same as everyone else, but no matter how he eats, he can't get fat, which is really enviable.

"Okay, don't hit Gao Chen, go outside and find a taxi to go back to school first and then catch up."

Chen Hui interrupted everyone's greetings, and everyone went out of the airport together.

There is a taxi pick-up area at the airport, which is in the inner driveway downstairs, so you don't have to get caught in the rain to take a taxi on the road outside.

After finding a taxi and putting the luggage, the crayfish asked Yun Luoyang suspiciously: "Brother Luoyang, how do you go to school?" Aren't you going home? ”

Yun Luoyang hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly smiled: "Don't you still want to send you, stay at the school for one night tonight, play with Gao Chen and them, and I'll send you to the station tomorrow and I'll go home." ”

"Oh." Crayfish nodded: "It's okay, I bought a lot of things for my parents, but they are all specialties of Zhonghai, and I will buy some Yuncheng specialties later to bring them over." ”

Yun Luoyang asked with concern: "Is the money enough, not enough for me to advance your salary for another two months." ”

The crayfish patted his chest and said, "It's okay, there are more than 40,000 yuan to spare, don't worry about money." And I plan to give all this money to my parents, anyway, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking at the base, except for the occasional takeout, there is no place to use the money. ”

Yun Luoyang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I know that saving money for my parents is a good child, don't spend money indiscriminately in the future, save it to honor my parents, do you know?" ”

The crayfish smiled innocently: "Don't worry, it's all right." ”

In 2013, it is good that e-sports professional players can save 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in more than three months, first, because the salary of the FD team is okay, with an average of about 5,000. The second is because of the high prize money of the event.

That's right, after the establishment of the LPL in 2013, since the spring league, there has been the term event bonus, and the prize money at that time was very high, with a total of more than 1 million.

And not only the spring league, but also the summer game also has the same event rewards, so that after the two events are played, the total prize money will reach nearly 3 million.

This was in 2013!

At that time, the LPL consisted of three major tournaments, the Spring Tournament, the Summer Tournament, and the Playoffs.

The playoffs didn't have a prize money at the time because it wasn't a regular league, but it decided which team would go to the World Finals.

Therefore, the degree of importance is the same as the first two.

However, it is worth popularizing science that the playoffs have also begun to have bonuses. Because the later playoffs were restructured into the LPL championship battle, which became an event more important than the spring and summer championships, the championship bonus was added.

In terms of prize money, the prize money has increased significantly since 2015.

From the 2013 Spring Tournament champion 500,000, runner-up 300,000, third runner-up 200,000, third runner-up 150,000, 5-6 100,000, 7-8 50,000, the total total 1.4 million.

By the 2015 spring season, the champion has become 800,000, the runner-up 400,000, the third place 250,000, the third place 200,000, the 5-6th place 150,000, the 7th-8th place 100,000, the 9th-12th place 50,000, the total amount is 1.95 million, and each team has another 30,000 yuan subsidy.

After 2016, the champion became 1.5 million, the runner-up 800,000, and the third runner-up 500,000. Needless to say, since 2016, almost every team has been able to get a lot of money from the prize money of the event, and the higher the ranking, the more they will get.

The most interesting thing is that this is only the championship prize money in the spring game, and the championship prize money in the summer game and the playoffs is so much. The total prize amount of the three competitions combined, the money to be sent by the penguins every year is more than 10 million yuan!

Among them, if you win the spring, summer, and playoffs at one time, the prize money will be 4.5 million.

A very tempting number.

So don't underestimate our LPL, whether it was then or later, the prize money of the LPL has always been the highest in the world.

Although after 2015, the prize money of the event has become a small head that is not worth mentioning, and all kinds of capital enter, the income of the players is far from needing the more than 10 million yuan of event rewards.

But now in 2013, when the average salary of each team is 1500-3000, and countless well-known professional players often eat steamed buns and eat pickles, the total prize money of 1.4 million is not a small amount, it is enough to change the lives of many poor professional players.

Therefore, the 500,000 yuan reward that the FD team received by winning the spring championship is more substantial than the reward for a player like Crayfish who has poor family conditions, which has improved his living conditions a lot.

However, there are so many people in the FD team after all, although the head office does not participate in the prize money, but including the team leader Ouyang Zhang and coach Lao Ma, they are all part of the FD team. Therefore, this money can be said to be a lot less when the entire FD team is divided and distributed to individuals, and there are probably only 5 to 60,000 yuan per person.

Some people may wonder why Ouyang Zhang's basic is to order takeout, engage in hygiene, and get money as a leader for the team members. But at the time, it was true that the team leader not only took care of the lives of the players, but also acted as a coach. During the S3 period, many teams did not have professional coaches, and the players were playing their own games, although those team leaders did not know how to be coaches, they were always providing better conditions for the players, so that they could concentrate on playing the game without being disturbed and affected by the outside world. For example, what the members of the FD team want to do, Ouyang Zhang is busy helping outside, and there is no credit and hard work, and this money is also what he should take.

In this way, everyone gets a point, and after deducting the players' own expenses, plus three months' salary, the amount of money that each person can save is actually 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

It doesn't seem like 50,000 or 60,000 yuan is much, but in 2013, it was really a lot, and the part-time job was only 2,000-3,000 yuan a month. At that time, prices had not skyrocketed, and it was enough for an average family to spend a year.

Crayfish's parents are from the countryside, and they usually do odd jobs at the construction site, and their monthly salary is more than 2,000 yuan, which is not very fixed (this is what the pot teacher himself said) All year round, he can't earn a few dollars. The son suddenly came home with more than 40,000 yuan, promising to make them happy.

Five people got into the car, and the taxi was a bit crowded. Fortunately, Yunluoyang crayfish Deng Yang and Chen Hui were relatively thin, and they sat in the back row, so that Gao Chen's big fat man went to the front, otherwise the car would not be able to sit down. That is, in 2013, if it were two years later, five people in the taxi would have refused to ride.

Along the way, everyone talked a lot and talked about the world. It is actually not far from the airport to the university town of Hexi, only more than 30 kilometers. And there is a highway, half an hour away.

Everyone talked and laughed, and soon got off the highway.

Seeing that the school was about to arrive, Yun Luoyang's crotch suddenly vibrate, and a text message was received on his mobile phone.

I took out my phone, and the message read: "When will I be back, let's have a good talk." ”

The signature of the note above reads: A Dad.

He looked up at the jubilant crowd, and suddenly there was a fear in his heart that he had never felt before.

Perhaps this time the storm will be more violent than before.
