Little Ming left and didn't throw any more tantrums. However, the atmosphere in the practice room was a bit gloomy. No matter how reasonable Ye Xiu's words were, it wasn't suitable for them to be announced in public. It wouldn't be good for the harmonious relationship between pro players and fans! Saying a few words in private space wasn't a big deal, but the composition of the people in the practice room was quite complicated. Everyone had different backgrounds and opinions. Ye Xiu's words were heard by everyone, and everyone had different emotions.
Chen Guo was one of the more upset ones. After all, she had been a diehard fan for a long time. It was inevitable that she would be like Little Ming. Her glass heart would shatter. Actually, at her age, how could she not know that whether it was the Club or the pro players, the sweet words they said to the pro players were all marketing techniques. The truth was actually more like what Ye Xiu had said. It was just that after being a fan for so long, she had a habit of avoiding the truth and deceiving herself. Now that Ye Xiu had exposed her so directly, Chen Guo had the urge to ignore him.
As for Qiao Yifan? He could be considered a pro player. It was a pity that a small fry like him didn't have fans yet! At his stage, if he really had a fan, he would be so excited that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Because of this, he would be filled with endless longing for the future. To him, fans were more of a form of recognition. He desired to be noticed and valued by others. As for repaying the support of his fans, he hadn't reached that level yet!
In this circle, he had heard many inspirational stories. For example, a certain pro player had been depressed after a setback, but because of the support and encouragement of his fans, he was able to stand up again. Or a certain pro player was as invisible as him, but because of the support of his fans, he was able to walk all the way to where he was now.
Such stories seemed to have happened to quite a few people before. However, Qiao Yifan didn't. He only knew that during his most difficult times, what gave him the confidence and motivation to continue was not a fan, but a pro player. What that person said to him wasn't any touching support or encouragement, but rather professional advice.
What kind of perseverance would the support and encouragement of his fans give him? Qiao Yifan had never experienced it before, so he didn't know. But he knew that the Almighty's advice, even though it was just a few words, had saved him a lot of detours in his career. If it wasn't for the Almighty's guidance, where would he be now if he continued to be invisible to the Assassin with the Micrograss? Qiao Yifan suddenly thought of this. Fans and contestants? But he didn't think much about it.
An Wenyi, who was sitting on the other side, was the first to speak. He was more mature and rational than his age.
"You didn't have to say those words," An Wenyi said.
Then he added, "Even if it's the truth."
"If he doesn't tell the truth, he will probably die, right?" Chen Guo complained unhappily. Thinking about how she had been living with Ye Xiu for the past few months, she had choked on her own words countless times. But compared to those that made her angry, amused, and helpless, what he said this time was a cold truth, a truth that made her want to escape. But this guy actually put the bloody truth in front of her, making it impossible for her not to look at it. This was too cruel.
"Exactly," Wei Chen said. "It's just a fan, why bother?"
"You guys are too naive!" Ye Xiu suddenly said. "I wasn't actually saying this for him to hear, I was saying this for you guys to hear!"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
"When you become a true pro player and have a large number of fans, when you see their support and encouragement, when you know what they like and what they don't like, will you be swayed by that?" Ye Xiu asked.
"This... seems to be more profound?" Chen Guo was a little surprised. For a moment, she couldn't accept that Ye Xiu was talking about such a profound topic. Although at the beginning, she felt that the God would be especially profound, who asked Ye Xiu to come to her Internet cafe and become an Internet cafe manager and ruin the God's image?
"This isn't a small matter, it's very important. Everyone has to think clearly about why they want to compete. This might decide how far they can go and how far they can go. " Ye Xiu said, "It's not impossible to play to please the fans, but it's very difficult to win the championship this way. What the fans like might not be the right thing to do. You have to decide for yourself how to play, because you are a pro player. "
"That's right." Wei Chen suddenly changed his tone and spoke up for Ye Xiu. He also said in a very serious tone, "For victory, you just have to use the method you think is the most correct. You don't have to think about this at all."
"That's true, but for victory, we have to be careful when we use unscrupulous methods that even abandon our humanity. After all, we are humans," Ye Xiu said.
"Yes, we have to be careful when we use it. Only when we have no other choice can we abandon our humanity. For example, for the three championships," Wei Chen said.
Everyone turned their heads to the side. He had said it quite well, especially the point Ye Xiu had mentioned. Thinking about it carefully, it was the truth. As a pro player, if they lost their sense of self, their style, and their uniqueness, how could they achieve results that belonged to them? In the end, when Wei Chen chimed in, the two of them started mocking each other, and the topic immediately went out of control.
The two of them then started attacking each other based on the records they had fought against each other in the past. However, the fact that their records were as good as blood put Wei Chen at a disadvantage. Just as he was about to run out of words, Ye Xiu suddenly changed the topic. "In short, why do you want to become a pro player? Why do you want to compete in a pro game? This question is simple, but it's also not simple."
Changing the topic just like that, wasn't it too stiff!! Everyone was screaming in their hearts. They couldn't look straight at him. However, the things that Ye Xiu had said had already been memorized by those who were paying attention. This question was indeed simple, but it was also not simple! At this moment, everyone was especially envious of the simple-minded Baozi. While everyone's mood was heavy due to the seriousness of the topic, this guy dug out a standalone game from somewhere on his computer and was happily playing it. He hadn't even heard or thought about what Ye Xiu had said, so it was better not to probe too deeply into this question.
"Tomorrow at this time, submit an 800-word essay every day. Properly explain why you want to become a pro player," Ye Xiu finally said in all seriousness.
Everyone looked at him suspiciously. They didn't know if he was being serious or just spouting nonsense again! However, Wei Chen had already started arguing again. "Look, he's using the shameless method of abandoning his humanity!"
"For an illiterate person who can't recognize all the words, this is indeed a bit too difficult. It's normal for you to think that there's no bottom line," Ye Xiu calmly responded.
"F * ck, if this old man can type out 800 different words on the screen, will you eat the screen?" Wei Chen shouted.
"Go ahead and type. We'll see the word count in a bit," Ye Xiu said.
"Tch, do you think this old man will fall for your trick?" Wei Chen said.
The mutual ridicule began again. Everyone turned their heads one after another. As for the 800-word essay, just forget about it and pretend that they didn't hear it.
The days continued to pass one by one. Little Ming's somewhat excited reaction that day made Chen Guo feel a bit uneasy. She especially regretted organizing that day's challenge. At the same time, she also realized that in this area, there was a team that was going to participate in the Challenger League. For someone like Little Ming who was just playing around and didn't have any grand goals, everyone would just laugh it off. However, if there was someone who actually wanted to enter the pro scene, then he would be a great villain! This was the home field of Excellent Era, the world of Excellent Era. Happy Internet Cafe was filled with Glory players all day long. Ninety percent of them were fans of Excellent Era, especially die-hard fans like Little Ming.
She had gotten a bit carried away. Chen Guo didn't forget to reflect on herself. At the same time, she realized that their team really wasn't suited to be exposed like this. Chen Guo had been running the Internet Cafe for so long, so she had seen a lot of players and fans. All sorts of people had left. If they really fought against Excellent Era to a certain degree, a powerhouse team like Excellent Era wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary. However, it was hard to say what the fans would do. In order to obtain victory for their team, what wouldn't the fans do to disgust the opposing team? With Chen Guo's current strength, it wasn't that she couldn't protect everyone. Being the villain really was a bit dangerous!
Fortunately, Lil 'Ming didn't seem to have spread the news. The next few days were peaceful. However, Lil' Ming, who used to come almost every day, didn't come again after that day. That included a few of his close friends who had formed a party with him. Chen Guo knew that her team was now the enemy of Excellent Era. As a supporter of Excellent Era, how could Little Ming be willing to sit in the enemy's nest and go online?
One day, when Chen Guo went out, she passed by Grand Internet Cafe and just happened to see Little Ming and his friends going in and out. Chen Guo knew that she had lost this group of regular customers forever.
This was only the first wave. When Team Happy was completely released and everyone started to pay attention to it, Chen Guo probably wouldn't be able to hide it forever. When that time came, everyone would know that Happy Internet Cafe's team was going against Excellent Era. What would happen to her business? Would these fans band together and boycott Happy Internet Cafe, causing her business to plummet?
Recently, she had been so busy that she only cared about her excitement, but she had completely forgotten about the existence of many troublesome matters! Little Ming's visit this time made Chen Guo sober up a lot. They were now challenging Excellent Era's people on their turf! People say that a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake, but they were even stronger. They directly ran to the strong dragon's turf and wanted to suppress them. Facing Excellent Era, the pressure didn't just come from Team Excellent Era's strength. The pressure outside of the game was also very scary. It seemed that she had to plan properly!
