"Dad, I'll prove to you that I can support myself by playing games!" Li Xiaofeng shouted in his heart when he saw that he had finally entered the top 16 and was only one step away from the top 8.
However, when Li Xiaofeng found out that his next opponent was the most popular and seeded player in the competition, Emiya Shidō, Li Xiaofeng was a little hesitant and hesitant. However, in the end, when he remembered his purpose for coming here, this confused young man became determined.
Li Xiaofeng's life had been quite good. After all, as a top student and a top student, he relied on his teachers and disciples to earn a lot of pocket money among his classmates.
However, all of this ended with the arrival of the college entrance examination.
Li Xiaofeng was not the kind of genius who played games, and his academic results were unparalleled in the world. He was just a friend. He could only choose between gaming and academic results. If he chose gaming, his academic results would naturally be ruined.
After Li Xiaofeng's college entrance examination ended, he was already in university. He did not even get into a junior college.
Although his family was very angry, there was nothing they could do about this only child. In the end, Li Xiaofeng's father begged his grandparents and took out all of his life savings and hurriedly got Li Xiaofeng a job as a telephone operator in a telecommunications company.
In the eyes of Li Xiaofeng's parents, this was a rather perfect job. It was not tiring, and there was no need for him to run around. He only needed to sit in the office and answer the phone while enjoying the air-conditioning. Was there a more perfect job in the world than this?
Yes, telephone operators in this day and age were different from telephone operators in the future. Even telephone operators in this day and age were authorized and official employees of state-owned enterprises.
Li Xiaofeng decided to obey his parents at first. He put aside gaming and worked hard. After all, Li Xiaofeng also thought that gaming might be fun, but there was no way to earn money. If he could not earn money, he would not be able to support himself, let alone his parents.
Li Xiaofeng was not a crazy person. Although he liked to play games, he accepted and understood reality more. However, Li Xiaofeng only worked for less than half a month before he was about to break down.
Li Xiaofeng was a person who loved to play, who knew how to play, and who had the word "play" engraved in his bones, working as a telephone operator in a boring telecommunications company. He had to repeat boring conversations with customers over the phone every day. Sometimes, he even had to accept unreasonable abuse from customers. It was already very impressive that Li Xiaofeng could persist for half a month.
However, Li Xiaofeng could not see his future, and he could not see how he could earn money from gaming. He could not open a school and teach children how to play games!
But other than teaching students, what else could he rely on to earn money by playing games?
That was until Li Xiaofeng learned about the existence of WCG. At that time, Li Xiaofeng also played the game "Red Alert" at a friend's house. Then, it got out of hand.
Because of the "Red Alert" project of WCG, as long as one could enter the top eight, everyone could get a prize of at least ten thousand dollars. If one could win the championship, they could get a huge prize of one hundred thousand dollars.
If he could get one hundred thousand dollars, he could support his parents for the rest of his life even if he did not work!
After much hesitation and consideration, Li Xiaofeng decided to quit his job without telling his parents. Then, he moved into his friend's house and practiced "Red Alert" day and night.
Because there was only one computer, Li Xiaofeng and his friend were divided into day and night shifts. One person slept during the day and practiced at night, while the other slept at night and practiced during the day. Just like that, day and night were reversed, and they practiced non-stop.
Li Xiaofeng also discussed with his friend that no matter who got a ranking, they would split the prize equally with the other party.
Originally, the training process was quite smooth until Li Xiaofeng's parents found out that Li Xiaofeng had quit his job. Then, they went to Li Xiaofeng's friend's house and announced in front of Li Xiaofeng that they had severed their relationship with Li Xiaofeng.
At that time, Li Xiaofeng might have regretted it, but there was no turning back. He could only go down this road to the end.
Li Xiaofeng knew very well that no matter if they severed their relationship as father and son or mother and son, the blood connection could not be severed.
The reason why his parents opposed him was that they did not understand and did not believe that games could make money. As long as he could take the 100,000 USD prize to his parents and tell them that he could support himself through games, then they would reconcile with him.
Naturally, when Li Xiaofeng found out that his next opponent was Emiya Shidō, he began to go crazy.
— — —
"I can kill him in ten minutes!" Emiya Shidō said nonchalantly when he was interviewed by the reporters before the game. Wei Gong Shidao was truly confident. After all, none of his previous opponents had lasted more than 10 minutes. They were even worse than computers. Wei Gong Shidao was naturally confident.
Most of the audience thought so too. After all, every time Emiya Shidō defeated his opponent, Li Xiaofeng had to use all his strength. Although this made Li Xiaofeng's game very interesting, it also made other people think that Li Xiaofeng was very strong.
As for Li Xiaofeng, when he was interviewed by the reporters, he smiled and said, "Wei Gong is very strong. I'm definitely not his opponent. I'm here to learn!"
Although from his attitude, Li Xiaofeng was definitely more worthy, no one thought that Li Xiaofeng could defeat Emiya Shidō.
Then, the battle began.
When people watched the 270p video again, they could not help but sigh. Everyone thought that this was just a qualifier, but in fact, the finals of the first WCG "Red Alert" project had already begun.
After the game began, the random map made both of them stunned, because it turned out to be the cross-sea bridge map.
As the name suggested, the main part of this map was a sea crossing bridge, and the two ends of the bridge were connected to a square piece of land. These two pieces of land were the starting points of both sides, and the only passageway to the other side's base was this spacious sea crossing bridge.
Therefore, there was almost no strategy or tactics to speak of in this battle. There was only one way to go smoothly, and that was for both sides to gather their forces and have a battle on the bridge where no retreat was allowed. Whoever could defeat the opponent's troops would be the winner.
Of course, as Fusang, they can also have the help of the Marines.
"Damn it!" Seeing this map, Li Xiaofeng's face turned white. As he said before, this map does not have any tricks, it is a test of the strength of both sides, but can he really block Emiya Shidō's attack?
Li Xiaofeng is not sure about his ability, but Emiya Shidō is very confident. After only two minutes, Emiya Shidō sent a team to test Li Xiaofeng. As a result, he saw that Li Xiaofeng did not build any troops, he was still frantically building various defensive bunkers near the bridge.
"This guy is going to lose!" Emiya Shidō disdainfully snorted. Attack is the best defense, this guy is not building troops but building bunkers. From his mentality, he has already lost to him.
However, Emiya Shidō's team simply turned around and left. What a joke, with so little troops, they don't even have a tank. Even if Emiya Shidō is a god, it is impossible for him to break through the defense of the bunkers.
The bunker was indeed a godly defensive weapon in the early stages of the game. At the same time, it was also a godly defensive weapon in a one-way map. However, Wei Gong Shidao wasn't too worried. Although the defense was terrifying, once his General Battleship came out, no matter how strong the bunker was, it would be useless in front of the General Battleship, which had the longest range in the game. At most, he would be able to kill this useless Chinese player.
