After resting for a while, the Guapi from the barbecue stall had a simple lunch and went to visit the remains of the Berlin Wall not far from the hotel.
The longest remaining section of the wall, which was once the most notorious dividing line in the world, had now become the world's largest open-air gallery.
There were later artists' works of the Berlin Wall, as well as graffiti left by West Germans on the west side of the wall in the 1970s to ridicule the dictatorship of East Germany.
After the victory of World War II, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union divided Germany, but the original allies had different views on the post-war structure of Europe.
The West advocated a free market economy, while the Soviet Union naturally hoped that its neighbors were also communist countries.
After the relationship between the allies deteriorated, East Germany and West Germany were created. Although Berlin was within East Germany, due to its special political status, West Germany also had the right to rule, and the city was divided into two.
In East Germany, medical care and education were free, while West Germany boasted of their high wages and more consumer goods.
In comparison, the stronger economy of West Germany in the Berlin area seemed to be more attractive. By 1961, nearly 20% of East Germans in Berlin had left East Germany, including many young talents.
Under these circumstances, in order to prevent more labor loss, East Germany decided to close the border and built the Berlin Wall that surrounded the entire Berlin area.
There were even lookouts, bunkers, and landmines around the Berlin Wall. The soldiers guarding the Berlin Wall were ordered to shoot anyone who tried to cross it.
Even so, between 1961 and 1989, about 5,000 people fled East Germany.
They dug tunnels, swam across the river, rode in hot air balloons, and even stole a tank to cross the Berlin Wall.
Until the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, countless families and friends separated by the Berlin Wall were reunited.
In fact, the battle between East Germany and West Germany could not be judged arbitrarily. It could only be said that the fall of the Berlin Wall was the progress of history, and it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Following his teammates to visit the graffiti on the wall, Li Xu kept explaining the origin of the wall to the Guapi with his limited knowledge of history. The Guapi listened with great interest.
For the entire afternoon, other than visiting the Berlin Wall, the Guapi from the barbecue stall basically just ate.
When it came to German cuisine, the most inescapable thing was sausages. Whether it was a Michelin-starred restaurant or a street vendor's food cart, there was no shortage of sausages.
As the Sausage Republic with more than a thousand types of sausages, even if the citizens of the German Federation ate sausages for every meal, they would not eat the same type for a year.
The group had eaten sausages in the hotel at noon, but they still couldn't avoid sausages on the streets. Everyone ate a curry sausage with relish. This kind of sour and spicy flavor was quite popular with the Guapi.
After wandering around for half a day, they returned to the hotel at night. Only then did they start training.
After that, SKT did not go out to play anymore. They focused on training in the hotel. When they were tired, they would go to the cafe downstairs to chat and read some books to pass the time.
October 12th, early morning.
Li Xu was woken up by the alarm he had set. When he opened his eyes, he found Li Ge with one leg on his lap and the other hand tugging at a corner of his blanket. The posture was very seductive.
Li Xu quickly pushed Guapi away in disdain. Li Ge turned over, stuck his butt out, and continued to sleep.
The two beds were too close together. Moreover, Li Ge liked to move around when he slept. Last night, Li Xu had strangely received a slap on his chest while he was sleeping. Li Xu felt that it was too difficult for him.
He did not know if Li Ge had really turned over in his sleep, or if he was already dissatisfied with him and was deliberately taking revenge. In any case, Guapi refused to admit what he had done.
Li Xu sighed and got up to wash up. After thinking for a while, he decided not to wake Li Ge up.
Guapi's schedule was different from his. More accurately, Li Xu's schedule was different from the rest of the players. Everyone else played until three or four in the morning and only woke up when it was close to noon. Only Li Xu had to rest before noon.
There was an open book on the table beside him. It was not Li Xu's book, but Li Ge's.
The title of the book was "The Art of Not Caring", which translated to "The Fine Art of Not Caring".
It was unknown if Li Ge had read the negative comments of the internet trolls and immediately flipped open the book to calm himself down.
Today was the start of the group stage match. It was also the day that Lin Yuqing would arrive in Berlin and meet up with Li Xu.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuqing's flight would only arrive in Berlin at four in the afternoon. SKT would be participating in the opening match of the international group stage match. The match would start at one o 'clock in the afternoon.
This way, Li Xu would not be able to enjoy Lin Yuqing's buffs.
Li Xu did not know why, but he always felt that when Lin Yuqing was in the audience, he would become especially courageous.
He went to the cafe downstairs to have a simple breakfast. Then, Li Xu picked up his phone and sent a group message to his friends, reminding them not to forget about his match today.
Germany was in the Eastern Time Zone, seven hours away from China and eight hours away from Korea. It was already afternoon over there.
Very quickly, he received replies. Most of them expressed that they would be cheering for him.
The reason why he said most of them was because there was one exception.
Jiang Xiuxi: I definitely won't miss it. I hope you mess up your debut performance and retire on the spot.
Li Xu was stunned.
Eh? Why did my hand slip and send a message to Jiang Xiuxi? I'm asking for it.
But Jiang Xiuxi is still so annoying. If she bothers me again, I'll give her phone number to Li Zaijun and let that muggle harass her.
After waiting for a long time, he did not receive a reply from Kim Jin-hee. Li Xu could not help but pick up his phone and call her.
"Hmm? Why can't I get through? "
Li Xu was a bit puzzled. Why did Sister Jin-hee turn off her phone for no reason?
Li Xu absent-mindedly played with his phone for a while. Then, he called Kim Jin-hee again, but her phone was still turned off.
After thinking about it, Li Xu called Kim Ya-jin. The call was quickly connected. Li Xu was glad that the little girl did not intercept his call.
"Li Xu."
"Sister Yazhen, how have you been recently? Is the little girl being obedient? "
"If you have something to say, say it. Don't beat around the bush."
"Uh ~ ~ ~"
Li Xu was stunned. "I'm just worried about you."
"Everything is fine. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Don't! I have something to do, something to do. "
Li Xu was anxious. How could she not follow the rules?
Jin Yazhen's lips curled up. "You should have said so earlier. Why are you being so polite?"
Li Xu coughed twice. "Here's the thing. I called Sister Jin-hee, but her phone is turned off. Do you know where she is? I'm worried that she's sick or something at home alone. "
"Don't worry. Zhenxi has something to do for the time being. She'll contact you tonight."
"Oh ~ ~ ~ In that case, I'm relieved."
"Okay, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else. By the way …"
"What?"
"Good luck!"
With that, Jin Yazhen hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound of the phone, Li Xu cracked a smile.
For some reason, he suddenly missed the little girl.
