Chapter 1 I’m about to retire. You come to the system? !
(There are some foreshadowings in the previous chapters. If you want to skip, you can jump to Chapter 16 to face off against WE. I beg you to collect it and read it!)
A certain parallel world November 27, 2016
9:59pm IG Club Training Room
"Duke flashed and ran away! He was scared! Chase him! Chase him!"
On the screen in front of Li Mufan, the Q skill in the emerald green skill icon belonging to Riven was still shining.
After handing over Duke, who flashed and fled the battlefield, he only had less than 150 drops of blood left.
Flash to catch up, hit Q in the third stage, then strengthen A, and you can win.
However, at this moment, the second hand of the clock placed on the table next to him quietly turned past the 12 mark, and it was 10 o'clock.
Li Mufan was about to press Flash when his consciousness suddenly went into chaos!
The time for thinking was stretched out, and I felt as exhausted as if I had just stayed up all night.
His hands were a bit out of control. Li Mufan tried his best to open his sleepy upper and lower eyelids, and finally pressed three Q on the spot. Then he felt something was wrong. When Riwen hit the air, he quickly added another one. flash.
Riven in the picture looks like a seventy-year-old grandma operating it, so stupid and ridiculous!
But Duke would not miss this opportunity. The moment Riven flashed over and was punished, he controlled the weapon master to turn around and it was AWA!
Bang bang bang——
After being hit hard by the street lamp several times, Riven's remaining health bar was emptied and she fell to the ground.
The kid clapped his hands and leaned back with a loud laugh: "What's the cooking operation? Brother Fan, I'm going to throw some rice on the keyboard this time, and I'll kill all the chickens alone!"
Rookie sitting aside silently touched his nose, feeling a little offended.
"I played well in the first few minutes, and almost got a solo kill! It's okay, the opponent is the champion after all!" JackeyLove patted Li Mufan on the shoulder in a comforting manner, then sat on the chair and slid back to his seat with his feet on the floor.
But the club manager Su Xiaoluo, who was standing a little further away, had a completely gloomy expression.
With the salary of a first-tier player in the league, can you still perform such low-level operations?
But that's not the point.
As a manager, Su Xiaoluo always believed that he was the leader of these players!
And what do these self-righteous leaders like to talk about most?
That’s right! Just two words!
manner!
You may perform poorly on the field, but you will give me the rank of training hard, practicing the version of heroes, and working late at night at the base!
Su Xiaoluo could clearly see from the side just now that Li Mufan's eyelids were almost closed and he was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice!
It's only ten o'clock in the evening!
On match day, the second BO3 might not be finished yet!
Nowadays, the "Old Man Tactics" is being circulated in the league forum, which means that when playing against a team with older players, you just need to wait for time!
Every game drags him down for forty or fifty minutes! Can these ‘old men’ maintain their peak level in the third game?
What about the fourth and fifth games?
It's a joke, but the game is really like this!
In BO5, older players are not as motivated as young players, and they cannot concentrate for too long. This is a fact that every professional team's training team knows all too well.
Su Xiaoluo walked away from Li Mufan with her hands behind her back without saying a word. She was already thinking about how to kick him away.
Players who are absolutely senior like Li Mufan have basically no development potential, and they can be seen at a glance.
I didn't have to choose before, but now that Duke is on the team, why do we still need Emperor Fan?
Li Mufan took off his headphones and typed GG in the general chat channel, then exited the customization.
What I just did was just a solo.
As for his opponent Duke, as the top laner of the new World Championship who just won the S crown, Duke's strength is beyond doubt.
Not long ago, IG boss Wang paid a lot of money to his contract. Now he has not come to China, and he is already playing training games with the starting players online.
In addition, the team organizes solo games with Duke every night, but they are basically unable to win one out of ten games.
Only Rookie in the middle can compete equally with Duke.
Seeing his team members being brutally beaten by the Korean top laner, Principal Wang was extremely excited, which meant that he had bought the right person!
Here, Li Mufan turned off the live broadcast button, but the plug-in barrages on the right side of the software were still scrolling.
[The anchor's operation is really amazing, I watched it and ate three bowls of rice! 】
[The broadcast will be off at ten o'clock. How can I take care of my health while pursuing my career? 】
[The anchor is really broken. He was robbed of his job and humiliated by solo every night. If I directly transfer to IG next year, I will beat up IG! 】
[Seriously, did Emperor Fan block the atomic bomb for the principal? Even though he is so good, he can still be supported by the team. I heard that the salary is still based on the first-line players, with a monthly salary of nearly 20,000! 】
[The key is to buy the champion top laner and not kick him? 】
[IG values friendship, if someone is stubbornly staying here and refuses to leave, can you drive him away? I don’t think anyone except IG is willing to take Emperor Fan back to support him? 】
As the barrage became more and more outrageous, Li Mufan quickly closed the entire software.
Kid patted him on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way, "Don't pay attention to what they say, as long as you are on IG, we will be brothers!"
Li Mufan, game ID: Fan, S3 debuted on IG and started competing. At that time, he was already 22 years old when he graduated from college.
This was actually nothing in the professional circle at that time, and there were many older players at that time.
However, as the influence of league competitions increases, more and more talented players enter the professional circle. As the top lane is the most important line in the league, Li Mufan feels that he is facing off against these young people. It’s getting more and more strenuous.
From starting singles to rotating, and then appearing as a substitute mascot in a few abusive games in a season, Li Mufan was not kicked out by IG, but netizens joked that he didn't understand how he abused others.
[Don’t tell me that although Emperor Fan is easy to operate, the game can’t be played without him! 】
Li Mufan has long been used to comments like this.
Can you ask a 25-year-old top laner to compete with a 17-year-old player in hand speed?
Or competing for reaction speed?
But these viewers don’t want to reason with you!
Especially in recent years, the performance of LPL teams in foreign competitions has been extremely bad. The more players who perform poorly in competitions, the more they focus their fire on them!
S5's IG passed the World Championship selections, but ranked last with a 2-4 record in the group stage.
There was even a small round where he was beaten directly and he even initiated a surrender!
Although the league at that time did not stipulate that surrender could not be allowed in the game, the audience also expressed understanding of surrender. After all, playing at a huge disadvantage can only be a waste of mentality.
But when you lose a game, you always have to take the blame.
The road to clearing the quilt in a single line became the target of public criticism, and Li Mufan immediately criticized him verbally and in writing on Tieba, Weibo and other places.
Until the next breaking point, EDG was beaten 4:0 by Europe and the United States in a BO5 game!
As the champion of the first MSI Mid-Season Invitational that year, EDG undoubtedly carried more hopes from LPL fans than IG, and also suffered more abuse after their failure.
The popularity of IG has gradually subsided, but the title "Fantasy Emperor" has always been retained.
Everyone who has watched the game knows that the LPL's "emperor" has a seniority, and each operation is more powerful than the other.
Now that the S6 season is over, the transfer window will close in one week. Entering the S7 season, he will be the 26-year-old 'old top laner'.
The operation, reaction, and energy cannot keep up with the younger generation of players.
Based on his performance in the first two years, perhaps retiring is his best choice.
After all, in the e-sports industry, playing professionally and playing games are completely different. Most people really can’t endure the intensity of professional training!
The amount of training can easily reach more than ten hours a day!
You usually play games and occasionally stay overnight. Can you do it if I ask you to stay overnight every day?
Which player who has been playing for several years is not suffering from fatigue disease!
Let’s talk about the more famous ones, the domestic ADuzi who was named and bought by Spring Championship RNG this summer; EDG’s Korean aid mid-lane Pawn; and Brother Crystal, who had his hand disabled in the World Championship trials a few months ago in BO10!
It’s all because of the high intensity of e-sports that beats the body up!
It’s either a waist injury or a hand injury!
Li Mufan was really a little scared when he saw the condition of these players.
Don't look at the salary of nearly 20,000 yuan, which is much higher than the general salary of college students outside now, but you have to spend your money wisely!
After a few years of working professionally, I will earn hundreds of thousands, and when I retire, I will give it all to the hospital, leaving me with all kinds of illnesses!
Just when Li Mufan was considering whether to retire directly and sell cakes on live broadcasts and not renew his contract with IG, his golden finger system came.
Is there any mistake?
I'm at the end of my career and you're here?
It's nothing special about a system. It's nothing more than an attribute panel that can solidify and upgrade abilities. Completing training on time and in quantity every day can improve your abilities.
The strange thing is that the training time set by the system is from 9 am to 10 pm, and no one will wait if it is late!
Not only that, if you train beyond the restricted time in the evening, your efficiency will decrease and your thinking will become slower.
Of course, it is only during the training period and will not have any impact on the competition.
This obviously makes overtime training less effective and even has a negative effect!
As a last resort, Li Mufan had to live an honest training routine of clocking in and commuting on time.
The advantage is that he hasn't stayed up late to train for a few days, and his mental state has become completely new. Although there are no major physical changes for the time being, Li Mufan knows that this training arrangement is relatively healthy and reasonable for the players.
After all, professional players generally stay up late to train not because this time period is efficient, but because people with high scores are ranked at this point!
But Li Mufan is currently not in a high rank, so he has no such concerns.
Now it’s time to enjoy the long-awaited time to lie down and go to bed before twelve o’clock!
Li Mufan turned off the computer, and under the strange gazes of his teammates looking at monsters, he returned to the dormitory on the second floor, washed up and went to bed.
Although I have become accustomed to falling asleep in the middle of the night after playing professionally for several years, today I fell asleep before eleven o'clock.
Then it came to today. When Li Mufan finished his daily ranking training and was about to take a rest, his teammates coaxed him to play a solo game with Duke, who had just joined IG not long ago.
Li Mufan had no choice but to ask for a room.
The result was obvious. It was almost ten o'clock, but this solo hit him at that point. In an extremely sleepy situation, he flashed this kind of elementary school operation while playing Riven Q3.
"It can't be done, it can't be done. As we get older, we feel sleepy at night!"
After going to bed early for nearly a week, Li Mufan really yawned and pretended to turn off the computer and go to rest.
Su Xiaoluo, who was sitting at the back of the training room, glanced at him gloomily, moved the corners of her mouth but said nothing.
Although Li Mufan's performance was poor before, he still had an attitude. He would train as long as the players trained; even if he didn't play a training match, he would review the results with the coaching staff.
What the hell are you doing now? Broken jar?
This week, training almost ends at ten o'clock in the evening and goes back. Although IG has no explicit requirements in this regard, are you being too blatant?
It's ruined, right? !
I haven’t received the contract for next year yet! Stop pretending?
Although Li Mufan was badly beaten, Principal Wang was not short of money.
I once made a bold statement that any player who has started in the IG first team, no matter how bad his subsequent status is, as long as he does not leave voluntarily, the club will continue to renew his contract!
Li Mufan now belongs to such a category of people.
Originally, any team he was placed in after S5 would kick him out directly, but IG did not.
Not only did they not kick anyone out, they also gave Li Mufan a salary increase in accordance with league standards!
Su Xiaoluo always disliked him because Li Mufan had no self-awareness, and the club raised him without knowing how to honor him.
Just right! Trash, right?
Thinking of the newly finalized contract in her hand, an idea gradually took shape in Su Xiaoluo's mind.
He squinted at Li Mufan's figure leaving the training room, but whispered to himself:
"This time I not only want you to get out, but also that guy who has been freeloading for a year. Get out of here if you don't do anything!" (End of Chapter)
