Thanks to the blessing of skipping class in college, I even have to take a make-up exam after the thesis defense, so there are fewer updates today, everyone forgive me-

At the official request of the WGA, the E-TYPE arrived in the Mesopotamian plain at noon on April 1. Although it is not yet fully summer, the dryness and heat of West Asia still make Yanghai, who is accustomed to the humidity and coolness of Berlin, not adapt. This time, the April Fools' Day Invitational was held in Mosul, Iraq, and the Star Arena in Mosul is the only A-level arena in Iraq.

They settled at the Hanging Gardens Hotel in Mosul, where the prince booked a spa treatment with a waiter as soon as he arrived.

"This damn weather," complained the prince, "is second only to staying up late and drinking too much to the skin when exposed to such sunlight!" I really don't know how the people who were born here can endure it. ”

The crowd didn't bother to pay attention to him.

This time, in the E-TYPE club, except for Gacharin's return to France to date his little girlfriend, the other main players came, Prince, VIVA and Yang Hai came to play, and BAN and Gachalin purely came to travel.

The game doesn't start until the evening, and you'll be free and easy during this time. LVL-E and BAN are going to open a black shop on the FC platform to cultivate a tacit understanding, the prince is going to go to a spa to moisturize his injured skin, and VIVA is going to have coffee with a flight attendant he just hooked up, talking about life and ideals by the way, and suddenly, Yang Hai found that he was the only one left with nothing to do.

After having a girlfriend, it is not suitable to always look for flowers and ask willows, and Yang Hai didn't know what to do for a while. Su Ruoshui originally flew to accompany her to play away games. But now Su Ruoshui is the manager of a second-class club called Taijijian in China, and his work is also very busy, so he has less time to accompany him, he is idle and bored, and his girlfriend is not around, Yang Hai thought about it and decided to go to the ruins of the hanging garden to take a look first.

He boarded the train to the ruins of the Hanging Gardens, and there were many passengers on board, and it was clear from their conversations that most of them were also attracted by the ancient Babylonian astrological towers, the Zhou Tian star charts, and the legends of the high priests.

The train he was on was a travel line. Iraq has prepared a special service for travelers, and there are special attendants on the bus who tell the legend of ancient Babylon on the radio. When Yang Hai took off his sunglasses, no one could recognize him, so he sat in peace as an ordinary man, among the excited tourists, and listened to them discuss the legends of ancient Babylon.

A pleasant female voice came from the radio. Yang Hai's Arabic is average, but the general meaning is still understandable.

"Legend has it that ancient Babylon was a city in the sky. The mysterious power of the stars keeps the city suspended in the air. Away from the suffering and wars of the world. In the ancient Babylonian astrological towers, priests prayed to the stars, and the stars bestowed their power on Babylon; The last high priest of ancient Babylon was the most powerful astrologer that ancient Babylon had ever seen. Legend has it that this high priest was favored by the power of the stars and was the darling of the heavens. He is not only profound, but also extremely talented, and has never lost a game with others in his life, and he is favored by luck forever. When the high priest was young. It was the most powerful era of ancient Babylon. When the high priest was old and weak, he had a premonition that the ancient Babylonian kingdom was about to decline, and in order to let Babylon be blessed by the stars forever, he painstakingly drew a map of the stars of Zhoutian, but he did not expect that this action angered the stars, how could mortals covet the power of the gods. The High Priest is extremely talented, and his Zhou Tian Star Chart has a mysterious power, and because of this, the stars are furious, ancient Babylon falls from the sky, and the Hanging Gardens are in vain, leaving only the legend of the High Priest and the Zhou Tian Star Chart——"

"Mom, Mom, does the Zhou Tian Star Chart really exist?" A cute little boy asked with bright eyes and a milky voice.

"Probably true." The woman said this, but showed a disapproving look: "Didn't I buy one for you for 15 yuan just now?" ”

"That's certainly not a real star map." The little boy pursed his lips: "That bearded uncle has sold a lot of star charts." The neighbor's Mei Li said that the reason why the baby is called a baby is because it is unique. ”

"Young man, what do you want Zhou Tianxing Map for?" A young man is amused by the little boy.

"They all said," replied the little boy very earnestly, "that if you have the Zhou Tian Star Chart, you will be blessed with good fortune forever, just like the High Priest." So that I can beat the big stars, and I can be the big stars myself. ”

Everyone around them laughed.

Yang Hai couldn't help but shake his head and said, "How is it possible." ”

The little boy's eyes widened: "You don't believe in the legend of the high priest!" ”

Yang Hai shook his head slowly.

"Maybe this high priest is indeed gifted and gifted, but it is impossible not to lose." Yang Hai remembered his experience when he was a child, and his tone couldn't help but be a little harsh: "How do you think a master is trained?" Hey, little ghost, don't underestimate the game? ”

Yang Hai's face is not very good, and his tone is also fierce, the little boy's mother is already pulling her own child, but the little boy is quite bold, his bright eyes looked at Yang Hai without blinking, and asked, "Then how do you say that the master is trained." ”

Yang Hai didn't answer, just asked, "Do you like to play games?" ”

"Of course!" The little boy slapped his chest loudly: "I'm the man who wants to be the Yu-Gi-Oh." ”

"Huh." Yang Hai curled the corners of his mouth: "Always abused, right." ”

"......" The little boy was quite unconvinced, and stared at Yang Hai fiercely.

"You don't want the Zhou Tian Star Chart because you want to be the Yu-Gi-Oh." Yang Hai said indifferently: "You are just being abused by others and are not convinced, so you just want to find a plug-in and abuse them back." With your thoughts, even if you get the Zhou Tian Star Chart, you won't think about using it to become stronger, but just thinking about using it to cheat. ”

"Nonsense!" The little boy was still very unconvinced, but his voice was much lower: "The high priest is able to defeat every opponent because of the Zhou Tian Star Chart. ”

"......" Yang Hai narrowed his eyes, did not take this stubble, but said something else: "Do you know how a game master hones his skills?" ”

The little boy shook his head.

"If you thought winning was the most fun part of the game. Then you are wrong. Yang Hai said with feeling: "On the contrary, victory is the most boring part. How many games have you played with your playmates, how many victories do you remember, and how many defeats do you remember? ”

The little boy looked at Yang Hai thoughtfully.

"Victory is always fleeting, and the pleasure it brings is short and dull; However, failure, failure is always unforgettable. Yang Hai remembered the scenes of being hung and beaten by his master when he was a child, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles: "Do you hate failure?" ”

"Nasty." The little boy replied honestly.

He felt that the big man with stubble in front of him had a mysterious and convincing temperament, so the usually unruly young man became honest.

"How annoying is it?" Yang Hai asked: "What is failure like to you, it is like a mosquito in summer." I wish he would disappear forever into your world, but I can bear it after all; Or is it like a rope around your neck that makes you feel like you can't breathe, and if you can't take it off, you feel like you can't sleep? ”

The little boy didn't know how to answer.

"If it's the former. Then you are just an ordinary person, even if you get the Zhou Tian Star Chart. It won't work out. Yang Hai said lightly: "If it's the latter." You really have the possibility to become the Yu-Gi-Oh. ”

"Is there a difference?" The little boy asked in a whisper.

"Of course." Yang Hai snorted: "If it's the former, you don't hate failure so much." If you lose a game, you can shake your head in the blink of an eye, put that failure behind you, and do whatever you have to do. If it's the latter, failure leaves you with no food. You can't sleep, you can't breathe, it's a pain that hurts every time you lose. The heart was cut and covered with scars. So you have no choice but to keep pushing yourself to be stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger, and stronger to defeat those opponents who have failed you. Then move on, keep failing, keep cutting your heart, keep getting stronger, get revenge, and move forward again. You keep failing, you keep getting stronger, and when there is no one in this world who can defeat you, you can be crowned king. ”

The little boy listened attentively.

"IS THAT WHAT POSEIDON AND ICELORD ARE ALL ABOUT?" THE LITTLE BOY SUDDENLY ASKED, "BEFORE POSEIDON'S DEBUT, ICELORD DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT POSEIDON GAVE HIM COUNTLESS UNFORGETTABLE FAILURES, SO ICELORD COULDN'T BE INSENSITIVE, SO HE WORKED SO HARD." VICTORY DOESN'T MAKE ICELORD BETTER, BUT DEFEAT DOES, DO YOU MEAN THAT? ”

"Pretty much." Yang Hai was stunned for a moment and said, "Almost." ”

"So the big brother doesn't believe in the legend of Zhou Tianxingtu and the high priest?" The little boy continued.

"I don't believe it." Yang Hai shook his head: "A super player like the High Priest, he must have countless failures in the process of growing up. To say that they have never lost any games is just the illusion of the weak. Even if there is really a Zhou Tian Star Chart, the person who gets it must be because that person is already better than others, and it will never be favored by Zhutian Xingchen. So, no, I don't believe the words of the legend, that can't be true. ”

"Big brother, did anyone tell you that you were really cool." The little boy's eyes sparkled with stars.

Yang Hai chuckled lightly and didn't speak, in fact, he didn't know what Lu Dao was talking to this little boy about. Perhaps today's conversation evokes too many memories for him, and the experience of his childhood is really not pleasant, but it makes him extremely nostalgic. If it weren't for the countless unforgettable defeats that King Nuo Tianwang gave him, he would never have come to this point. Failure can hone not only one's skills, but also will, attitude, and character, and nothing is more precious to a player.

He is lucky, even after his debut, there are players like TONY who can give him defeat.

But what about the Nuo Tianwang back then?

Two years after his debut, Nuo Tianwang has been invincible in the world, and he only occasionally loses two or three games every year, maybe Nuo Tianwang is the one who really feels lonely in life. He lit up an entire era, uplifting all the players of his era with the pain of failure. Everyone dreams of surpassing the Nuo Tianwang and defeating the Nuo Tianwang, and they are inspired by this belief to keep improving, constantly improving, and all kinds of super players appear like a blowout, and the Nuo Tianwang and them together have achieved an era of shining stars.

And me?

Yang Hai gradually became obsessed, and he was stupid for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until the staff informed them that the destination had arrived. (To be continued......)
