Chapter 12 012: A trial invitation
early morning.
Gu Xing turned off the buzzing alarm clock and rarely stayed in bed for a while.
After a night, what happened last night still had a big impact on him.
What's going on with that Summoner's Rift in your mind?
Virtual game, the playing style is similar to the factory director's Rek'Sai...
Gu Xing was puzzled.
There was a rustling sound outside the cubicle, and Gu Pan and his parents thought they had already gotten up.
He stretched out and stretched his muscles, stood up, folded the quilt and opened the curtains, and saw that the sky outside was gray.
While sorting the papers, Gu Xing glanced at the box of dark chocolates that had been opened on the desk.
He ate and drank the same as usual yesterday, with the exception of the black chocolate.
It can't be the fault of this thing, right?
The same feeling as before, the more I look at the brand, the more familiar it becomes.
After searching online, Gu Xing was sure that he had seen similar packaging before, but he just couldn't remember what happened.
……
After a brief wash, he quickly filled his mouth with eggs, drank a glass of hot milk, and then got up and rushed to school.
The brother and sister walked halfway and happened to bump into Shen Guanshan who was carrying a schoolbag. She was biting a bun, her cheeks were bulging like a bun.
"Morning!" Gu Pan greeted his friend enthusiastically.
Shen Guanshan responded and glanced at Gu Xing unconsciously.
"Guan Shan, can we have a few words alone?" Gu Xing came to see her if he had something to do.
Looking at him, he asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to ask something about the training team," Gu Xing waved his hand to dismiss, "You don't understand this."
Gu Pan took a deep breath and tried to formulate words to fight back.
But in the end I had to admit it.
Although I felt very unhappy, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.
She could only walk at the front and let the two of them whisper in the background.
"The box of chocolates you gave me yesterday tastes pretty good." Gu Xing went straight to the point.
When Shen Guanshan heard this, his eyes lit up, "Really?"
"If you want more, I have some here." She finished eating the buns, opened the zipper of her schoolbag, and revealed the small pocket inside, which contained several boxes of black chocolate of the same brand.
Gu Xing didn't want to take other people's things for nothing, but he couldn't care so much now. After thanking him, he took out a box that was exactly the same as the one last night, opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth.
When he arrived at the classroom, he kept looking at the ceiling during morning reading.
"What are you doing?" Ding Ran was puzzled by his deskmate's reaction, "Does your neck feel uncomfortable?"
"It's okay." Gu Xing looked back.
Everything is business as usual.
Summoner's Rift also didn't appear again.
If the memory of last night hadn't been so clear and real, he would have doubted whether he had just dreamed it.
He forced himself to focus on the textbooks and papers, and studied with concentration all morning. Finally, when get out of class ended at noon, Gu Xing quickly ran home and turned on the computer first.
No need to update this time, he quickly logged into the Dianyi server.
Clearlove has not responded and has not been online.
Instead, the person with the prefix 'EDG recruiting' replied to him with a message, [Add QQ to discuss in detail]
Gu Xing copied the QQ number behind his ID and sent a friend request.
Almost seconds passed.
The other side got straight to the point, [I am the youth training manager of the LOL branch of the EDG club. Mingkai recommended you yesterday afternoon. I watched the video and it feels really good. Can I ask your age? 】
After getting Gu Xing's exact answer, he sent another message.
[Are you interested in playing professionally? You can come to the Shanghai base for trial training. We will include food, accommodation and round-trip tickets]
Then he sent a bunch of pictures, including internal photos of the EDG base, his work badge and work station, and even screenshots of the chat history between the factory director and him yesterday, to prove his identity to Gu Xing.
Gu Xing's heart was beating loudly.
This was a new experience on a boat that he had never experienced before.
He moved his fingers and considered for a moment before typing on the membrane keyboard. [We may have to seriously consider discussing this]
The other party agreed very readily, [There is always a place here at the base, just tell me after you decide. EDG is a very formal club in the industry. If parents are worried, you can come to the base to stay for two days]
Gu Xing agreed and closed the chat box, still a little confused.
He defeated the factory director yesterday, played countless virtual games in the weird Summoner's Rift at night, and received a trial invitation from EDG today?
Gu Xing, who had no idea about professional e-sports, was at a loss.
There is no one around him who is engaged in this industry. Who should he consult with for discussion?
Moreover, Gu Xing himself had no such idea. He planned to finish his studies at Fudan, find a decent job, save a few years of money, and buy a bigger and more comfortable house for his family.
A series of changes completely disrupted Gu Xing's plan.
He thought of the 'Seven Wolves of Ionia', and had heard that there were professional players in the small group.
Gu Xing decided to ask their opinions first.
Just do it.
I really only know how to play jungle: [Picture] [Does anyone know him? Yesterday he added me as a friend and said he was EDG? 】
Gu Xing sent the ID of the EDG youth training manager.
He didn't trust the other party's identity. These days, photos can be posted. As for the chat records?
The chat history is considered as hammer evidence.
Zhanqi TV, Chitanda: [It’s true, I am in charge of youth training at EDG. Sometimes I go out to eat with the factory director, and he comes over to hang out]
It's a pity that there is no if/°: [? Are you really awesome and you still have such a relationship with the factory director? 】
Chitanda’s reply was very quick, [I started playing professionally in 2014, okay, what a bunch of stinky brothers]
Seeing that the conversation was getting worse and worse, Gu Xing hurriedly talked about his own affairs, [He invited me to a trial training. Is there any kind person who can help with some suggestions? 】
He mainly wants to hear the opinions of those who are closer to the e-sports circle than himself.
Of course, you still have to decide with your parents whether you want to go or not.
MGB丶Ming: [How old are your brothers?]
I really only know how to play jungle: [I’m 18, in my senior year of high school]
Beethoven, Prince of Online Dating: [There are only two months left before the college entrance examination and you still play games? You gave up on yourself, right?】
Ming was very enthusiastic and typed a lot of words, [If you are not the kind of person whose grades are already hopeless, I suggest you take the college entrance examination first and then go to a school as a safe fallback. If you have some free time during the summer, you can go for a trial training. It happens to be in Shanghai. After playing for a while, it’s time to travel...Also, it’s not easy to get into the professional game industry, so be mentally prepared before you step in]
This view coincides with Gu Xing's.
He must be preparing for the college entrance examination now.
After 12 years of hard work and hard work, Gu Xing could not give up.
Moreover, the future of e-sports is unknown. Even if he has a Summoner's Rift in his mind, he may not be able to make a name for himself.
In contrast, the success rate of studying to find a way out is undoubtedly higher.
It’s a pity that there is no if/°: [I also want to play professionally. Many teams have sent invitations, but they have not decided yet]
Zhanqi TV丶Xiangxiang: [Brother is teasing me, are you still playing professionally? There is no middle-aged group in e-sports】
Gu Xing couldn't help but laugh.
JackeyLove's current age is a mystery.
However, he heard that Xiangxiang, Chitanda and others had played games with JackeyLove.
He has a hoarse voice with a dialect, and he also has an ID with "Love" like the factory director. He looks full of family atmosphere, and the role he is good at is the fierce-looking Draven.
The impression that people in the group have of him is probably similar to Vincent, another famous Draven anchor, who looks like he is in his twenties or thirties.
Xiangxiang usually calls him big brother.
When JackeyLove heard Xiangxiang's words, he interpreted them as yin and yang, and immediately refuted them, and threatened not to borrow Xiangxiang's Green Diamond membership again.
Gu Xing saw that they were chatting happily and it had nothing to do with him, so he closed the group chat.
At this time, Dad came in to look for his coat and planned to wash the dirty clothes before going to the store this afternoon.
While digging through his pockets, Father Gu took out the box of black chocolate. He glanced at the outer packaging, turned around and asked, "Where did you find domori again?"
When Gu Xing heard the word 'again', he jumped up from his seat, "Dad, do you know this chocolate?"
See you tomorrow at 11:50
