The game was still going on, and Yang Hai was chatting with a few friends while watching the game. ,!

Viva's match against Dakala was also a highlight, and after 20 minutes of grappling, Dakala still lost to Viva and lost.

Dakala's face was not very good when he came off the court, and the Pope was also a top master, and his experience was similar to that of Icelord, who was supposed to fight in the upper bracket, but he met a few people who were stronger than him, and then he went straight to the lower bracket. Of course, there must be a difference between Dakala and Icelord, Icelord wishes he met Yang Hai in every game, but Dakala definitely doesn't want to meet Viva so early.

And Dakala also knows very well that neither K nor Icelord himself may not be able to beat, especially Icelord, this year's Icelord is so perverted, he is no longer a Martian, he can now use less than 400 hand speed and Poseidon to face hard, Dakala feels that if he meets Icelord, it is estimated that he can win twice in ten rounds.

After the viva game was played, Visconti was not interested in watching the next game, so he took Yang Hai and the others to dinner. The match between the prince and Xilo took place in the afternoon, and the prince did not watch the rest of the game, but went with everyone, and brought Visconti's new younger brother Eggpain.

Visconti somehow found an unlicensed car and stuffed a group of people into it.

"Where are you taking us?" Yang Hai watched Visconti turn left and right in the city, and couldn't help asking, "And how can you have a car in Blum Town?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Visconti cut off: "Blum Town is a tourist destination, and I still have a villa here." I have villas in more than 30 places with S-class arenas in the whole world. A lot of them were given by others. ”

"I'm X." Viva couldn't help but say, "The consul of Kloto is really a promising job, and you are very comfortable with taking bribes." ”

"yes." Yang Hai also rolled his eyes: "Pooh, you are too corrupt, no wonder your little belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day." ”

"What kind of corruption," Visconti snorted, "that's just a ploy for some people to curry favor with me, don't be in vain." Haven't you heard that phrase? Who gave me a gift, I don't know, but I know who didn't give me a gift. They just want me to think less about them. ”

"And what if they have something in your hands?" The prince asked.

"Then it depends on whether it is a mistake of principle." Visconti snorted: "Play a game of death in private once in a while. I'll turn a blind eye to this and all sorts of things like killing someone. But if someone dares to manipulate the gambling game and be an actor in the game, something like that, then there is only Hell Road to meet. ”

When everyone was speechless, Visconti smiled and said, "But if Poseiodn you are willing to come to Cloto." Even if you become an actor occasionally, I will turn a blind eye. Who made us so iron? ”

"You go to die, I don't play match-fixing. Besides, I'm not going to Italy. Yang Hai said angrily: "It turns out that your life is so corrupt, it reminds me of the story of 2 and 5." ”

"What 2 vs. 5 story?"

"Don't you know what to say? 5 Say to 2, Behold thy groveling; 2 to 5 said. Look at your rotten belly. ”

"Holy! I just have a little bit of a small belly, how can it be so exaggerated. Don't you hack me, okay? ”

"Pooh, I didn't say you, you can still see eight-pack abs on the photo when you debuted, I don't know how many pieces are there now?"

"I rely on Poseidon . You have no conscience when you say this. As if you hadn't seen it - don't you know how many pieces I have? ”

"I'm rubbing you don't want to say so ambiguous, okay, as if I had a male-to-male relationship with you...... Prince Viva, what do you mean by your eyes? ”

"They're jealous." Visconti said with a smile.

"Get out!" Prince and Viva raised their middle fingers at the same time.

A group of people giggled and laughed along the way, and soon reached their destination.

It was a small restaurant that didn't look good from the outside, and it didn't even have a sign, and a group of people questioned Viscontide's taste, but when they walked inside, they were shocked by the elegant décor inside.

"Hey, that's good." Visconti said very awesomely: "Those places that look gorgeous on the outside and are very famous have long been trampled by more than n people. Only this kind of unknown alley is a partial house, which hides the grace and elegance of a city. It's a really good place. ”

As they sat down to drink, Visconti began to interrogate Eggpain.

There were a lot of people in the players' lounge just now, and it wasn't a good place to talk, but now it's all my own people, so I don't have any worries. Visconti said: "Boy, let's recruit from the truth. ”

"Ahh What's the catch? Eggpain asked weakly, looking like a frightened little beast. The first contact with the top professional gamer circle gave Eggpain a great shock, looking at his clothes Yang Hai can judge that Eggpain's family conditions should not be very good, probably at this time the brain is not good clockwork.

"Of course it's all recruited." Visconti poured a large 60-degree vodka like a beer. screamed coolly, and the fierce appearance made the corners of Yang Hai's mouth twitch. "Could it be that you, a demon-like pervert, are unfertilized children like Jesus, probably not, there must be a history."

"......" Eggpain choked: "What can I do, I'm my father's son." ”

"Nonsense, can you still be your dad's father?" Visconti rolled his eyes: "I'm asking you how you practiced this technique, and where is your master?" ”

"Oh...... I am self-taught. Eggpain said weakly, "My master...... It should be the boss of Poseidon . ”

Yang Hai almost spit out the red wine in his mouth, staring at eggpain speechless, this guy looks so honest, why do you open your eyes and talk nonsense?

"What did you say?" Yang Hai asked in disbelief.

"You didn't teach me, but I did learn from watching your reps in the Middle Ages......" Eggpain looked like he was about to cry.

Everyone immediately looked at each other.

"Tell us how you learned the game and how you got into the knockout round of the King Title Battle." The prince said mildly.

"Oh." Eggpain calmed down a bit, perhaps the only prince in the group who looked more like a good guy made Eggpain's mood stabilize a lot.

Eggpain began to speak slowly, and he fell into the memories -

In fact, Eggpain never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to sit and chat with such a group of superstars.

Eggpain was born into a very ordinary family in Memphis, a very ordinary city in the United States. His mother was a doctor and his father was a lawyer. Eggpain didn't show any unusual talent for playing as a kid like Icelord and Titan, in fact, Eggpain really could only be considered an amateur among amateurs.

The degree of amateurism cannot even be compared with Gacharin, who is at least from a professional background. Although it is true that Gacharin's school and the level of his professors are not very good. But eggpain is different. After Eggpain obtained dual citizenship in China and the United States, he studied law at Nanjing University.

It's a major that has little to no connection with gaming.

"I'm not the only child in my family, I used to have an older brother." Eggpain's face was a little gloomy.

Eggpain's older brother was seven years older than him. His brother likes games, so he applied for a game college at a very young age and came to Italy, where the strong are like clouds. The Apennine Peninsula is both a gamer's paradise and a gamer's hell, where countless people are blessed with hope every day. It also brutally makes countless people desperate every day, and it is really difficult to make a name for yourself in Italy unless you are an amazing person.

For countless young talents, choosing to debut in Italy requires inhuman courage and perseverance, and Eggpain's brother is not lacking in courage, but he just lacks a little talent. For some of the young elite, there is a serious question of how to graduate from the Academy, which is the famous burial place of bones, beneath the statue of Mahatma del. Countless invisible graves are neatly arranged, each with a name carved on it, and a dream buried under each tombstone.

But Eggpain's brother, what he needs to think about is how to get into the Academy.

It's a cruel thing, but the prophet Hardins had already said, "As a gamer." It's important to understand that not everything you try to do will pay off. It's like you're trying so hard to win, you're exhausted, you're exhausted, but you're going to win? Don't underestimate the game. Don't underestimate your opponents, don't underestimate life. ”

Sometimes. We do try very hard to do something, but nine times out of ten we don't get what we want.

At such a moment, some people choose to persevere, for the sake of that almost ethereal hope, maybe they have finally completed their dreams, or they may be obscure for a lifetime, forgotten by this world; Some people choose to bow to reality, as Nietzsche said, the reason why people do not easily see themselves as God is because they live to earn bread money.

Eggpain's brother chose the third path, to escape.

He chose to end his life in a beautiful harbor in Italy.

The bad news was devastating to Eggpain's parents, who seemed to age ten years overnight. They picked up Eggpain, who had been admitted to the Turin Play Academy, from Italy. Because Eggpain was their only child, they couldn't afford a second blow.

Eggpain cried and begged his father to let him continue his studies in Italy, hoping that his parents would believe in him and that he would eventually get ahead.

But Eggpain's father said, "It's a road of no return, and once you set foot there's no turning back." The competition in the gaming world is so fierce that if you can't become a superstar, you'll have to rely on government handouts to get by. We have already lost a child, and we can't bear to lose another child. ”

And just like that, Eggpain's dream hadn't even begun. It has been buried deep in my heart.

When he tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, Eggpain also thought about going crazy and running away from home or something, but he knew that he couldn't do that. The scars on his parents were deep enough from the game, and he loved his father and mother. He couldn't ignore their feelings. Selfishly walk away.

So Eggpain obediently lived a quiet life under the arrangement of his parents.

However, there was always a voice crying deep inside, when he was alone, in a half-asleep moment. In the moment when he was tormented by the boring and boring schoolwork that he didn't like at all, it told him how unwilling he was.

So Eggpain spent all his time quietly learning the game by himself.

Because many of the superstars in the game industry today are not from professional backgrounds, Viva, Visconti, Tony. Several of them are self-taught.

The heavens seemed to play a little joke on Eggpain, and Eggpain soon realized the difference in talent between himself and those of the emperors. Once again, the cruelty of the gaming world is on display, some things are born and there is simply no way to change them.

Eggpain has worked so hard, he has spent almost all his energy on self-study, but his progress is so slow, his level is still not high, it can only be said that it is decent, and what is even more terrible is that he has not found that he has any characteristics that are more prominent.

There is no talent. Even if you are from a professional class, it is difficult to make a name for yourself, let alone such self-study.

Maybe that's the end of my dream.

Eggpain sometimes thinks with a wry smile.

He didn't despair when this thought came to him, because he had desperately been in his struggle so many times over the years. The heart has long been numb.

What makes Eggpain's heart come alive is Poseidon Rep. Over the years, Eggpain has watched countless expert reps and tried to learn from them, but there has always been no progress. Fights are also often stumbling. But after carefully studying a few reps of Poseidon , Eggpain was surprised to find that his medieval level had improved by leaps and bounds.

The opponent who couldn't beat the rookie paradise in Haofang before. Now he is no match for him.

Eggpain was pleasantly surprised and painful, pleasantly surprised to see a glimmer of hope, and painfully that his progress was only in the Middle Ages, and the other games were still played so poorly. As we all know, pro gamers don't just play a game well.

He also tried to learn the reps of Poseidon other games, but there were some movements that he couldn't even read, let alone learn.

This time, he came to the Heavenly King Title Battle, also because the designated competition item of the Heavenly King Title Battle was the Middle Ages, and he wanted to try it.

What exactly are you trying? Eggpain didn't know what to do.

But he was so stubborn that he wanted to give it a try.

"I've already figured it out." Eggpain's smile was a little bitter, and his face was very pale: "I've graduated, and after these games, I'll go back to the United States to accompany my parents." Eggpain closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Visconti, for disappointing you." My real strength is very poor, and I can't join a non-mainstream band. ”

Visconti was speechless, and he suddenly remembered what Eggpain had said to him earlier.

"Because the lower bracket can play a few more games."

He had an urge to persuade Eggpain not to give up, but he couldn't.

If he can not give up, who wants to give up, and how much pain and courage he needs to endure and give up what he has always believed and loved, Visconti knows very well in his heart. Visconti felt that if Eggpain was young, even if he didn't have talent, he could try to train professionally to become a qualified player, and K's talent was not very good, he was a successful example of a professional player trained by modern scientific training methods; But now...... Eggpain was too old and too late.

It's not just Visconti who thinks so, but so does Prince and Viva.

But some people don't think so.

"Do you really want to give up like that? Never try again? Yang Hai asked.

Eggpain said in a low mood: "Boss Poseidon Boss, I know my own affairs, maybe ...... That's all there is to it. ”

Yang Hai pursed his lips.

"But is there any other way for me to go?" Eggpain looked at the obvious disdain on Yang Hai's face and said bitterly. "I'm so talented, and I'm old—"

"I don't want to say anything like that as long as you believe in miracles, it happens." When Yang Hai said this, he couldn't help but think of Ban, thinking of the game where Ban overturned Dakala, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I think what the predecessors of hardins said, even if you put in the effort, it may not be rewarded, the original intention is not to persuade people to give up hope, but to hope that everyone can treat failure with the right attitude." If you don't give up, then there is always a glimmer of hope, but if you give up, there is no hope at all. ”

Yang Hai paused and said, "Besides, you just said that you watched my rep, and the level has improved by leaps and bounds?" ”

Eggpain nodded a little dejectedly.

"My style of play is unique among active professional players." Yang Hai smiled and said, "My rep generally doesn't have much reference significance for other people. So, if you can learn anything from my reps, I don't believe you're gifted. ”

Eggpain looked up suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"So I want to ask you if you'd like to try again." Yang Hai said: "Maybe it's the last opportunity, maybe it won't succeed, maybe it will make you more desperate, and your heart will be like ashes." But this is an opportunity after all. ”

Visconti, Viva, and the prince all looked at Eggpain to know what his reply would be.

Eggpain sat limply in his chair, buried his head in his palms, and bent down to sobble softly.

"I want to ...... I...... I want to try again. ”

This sentence seemed to drain the strength of Eggpain's whole body, Yang Hai looked at Eggpain's twitching shoulders and clenched fists, and his heart was full of emotion for a while.

He didn't know if he was doing the right thing, maybe trying again would hurt Eggpain more, maybe he would waste precious training time and preparation time and get nothing, but he didn't regret it at all. I don't regret making a decision, and I won't regret it later.

He feels that persistent people should be rewarded, even if they die in obscurity for their dreams, they should burn out all the brilliance of their dreams before they die.

"After the title fight, you can report to the non-mainstream bands, Italy has top strategists, and Pooh can teach you a lot." Yang Hai said: "I will take the time to take you to E-type training, a month, at most a month, we will know what the results of the Dao are." ”

Eggpain nodded silently.
