Chapter 113112: In high spirits
"Is there such a thing?" Shen Guanshan had never heard of it and was very surprised.
Gu Xing nodded, "The regulations in all aspects were immature at that time and were different from now..."
Although today's LPL management system is not particularly perfect, it is impossible for things like throwing mineral water bottles on the stage to happen again.
"What would you like to eat tonight?" Gu Xing looked around, feeling confident.
Not long after last month's salary was paid, he transferred half to his parents and kept the rest.
You can afford the restaurants nearby.
After being separated from his status as a student who had to live solely on pocket money, Gu Xing felt like he had been poor for a long time but suddenly became rich.
Although it was only tens of thousands of dollars, it was the largest amount of money he had ever come into contact with since childhood.
Shen Guanshan didn't know Gu Xing's mentality.
"When I came up in the elevator, I saw a Burger King downstairs," she looked at Gu Xing, her eyes sparkling, "I heard Ding Ran say the French fries there are delicious. Why don't we try them?"
Zhenhai is a small industrialized town. There is only one Burger King in the whole district. It is nearly 20 kilometers away from Guxi Community. She will definitely not go there to eat when she has nothing to do.
Gu Xing was silent for a moment when he heard Shen Guanshan's answer, and the overwhelming energy in his heart suddenly weakened.
"Are you serious?" He turned his head and looked at Shen Guanshan.
To be fair, Gu Xing felt that it was not appropriate for the other party to come from Zhenhai to watch his game and go to a fast food restaurant.
"Of course," Shen Guanshan said excitedly, walking towards the escalator, "Hurry up and follow me. You said you didn't eat before the game, aren't you hungry now?"
Gu Xing had nothing to do with her, so he had to follow Shen Guanshan to the Burger King on the first floor.
After ordering a bunch of things, Gu Xing paid the money and received a WeChat reminder.
Shen Guanshan transferred half of the money.
"I can invite you..." Gu Xing was helpless, "Do you still have enough money to spend?"
Although Zhenhai is not far from Shanghai, Shen Guanshan traveled back and forth twice during the summer vacation. Plus hotel accommodation, it was really expensive for a student like her.
"That's enough," Shen Guanshan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "When I was in school, my family gave me a lot of money every month, and I saved it all."
Although her family's financial situation is not as rich as Ding Ran's, it is worse than that of the Gu family.
Her parents are away from home all year round and have a weak relationship with their daughter, but they do not treat her badly financially.
Shen Guanshan usually spends very little money, and he doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing. The living expenses he saves are quite large when put together.
After holding his dinner plate and sitting down in a remote corner, Gu Xing noticed that several young people holding VG support banners ran to the front desk to wait for their meals. They must have been spectators after the game.
He was extremely glad that he changed out of his team uniform before leaving the backstage lounge.
Otherwise, they might be recognized by VG supporters.
Although Gu Xing did not shy away from interacting with fans, Shen Guanshan was nearby and might cause some trouble.
When Shen Guanshan saw Gu Xing pretending to be an ostrich and not daring to raise his head, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a bright and bright smile.
She suddenly remembered something and raised her hand to cover her mouth to hide her smile.
However, the movements are not very coordinated and coherent, and it looks quite awkward.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xing was baffled by her actions and asked proactively.
"Ah...it's nothing." Shen Guanshan denied repeatedly.
He quickly shifted his attention and stared at the fire-roasted pineapple fort in front of him.
She finally regretted coming to Burger King.
The burger was larger than she expected and very thick.
Gu Xing chose the signature Whopper and added a slice of beef patty to it. The thickness was not as thick as the one in her hand!
Shen Guanshan made a visual inspection and found that in addition to beef patties and thick pineapple slices, the burger in his hand also had bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. If he wanted to completely bite from the upper bun to the lower bun, he would have to have a big mouth.
And if you don't move carefully, the contents of the burger will fall out.
The thin wrapping paper on the outside of the burger didn't look like it could withstand the penetration of juice.
She felt that if it was normal, then forget it, wouldn't it be unseemly to eat like this in front of Gu Xing?
But if you disassemble the burger and swallow it in small bites, you will lose the fun of eating the burger itself.
Shen Guanshan's brain was spinning, thinking about how to deal with it.
She suddenly felt boring and pretentious.
Originally, she and Gu Xing had been quite free and easy when they were children. The Gu brothers and sisters could be called her best friends in childhood. They had been classmates for 12 years and were neighbors. They usually walked together on the way to and from school, and they had a close relationship. Infinitely.
However, after realizing the ignorance of adolescence a few years ago, Shen Guanshan could no longer chat with Gu Xing from the perspective of just friends.
Recently, I don’t know whether I am worried about the separation that will come soon after the beginning of college, or whether I have read various romance novels in my free time after confirming my admission, and have been affected by various views on love.
Shen Guanshan found that she was completely different from her original self when facing Gu Xing.
Every time we get along with each other, I will be restrained and want to think over it ten times in my mind before speaking. I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing, and my every move will be very reserved.
To describe it as cautious in words and deeds is not an overstatement.
Now even when I eat a burger, I have to think about how I want to eat it.
Shen Guanshan felt quite exhausted from getting along like this.
However, when it was time to say goodbye, I was extremely looking forward to the next reunion.
Is having a secret love so tiring?
Thinking about it carefully, she felt that the emotional problems were too contradictory and complicated, much more difficult than the math problems she encountered, and even had no rules to follow.
"Have you seen a video on the Internet?" Gu Xing's words brought Shen Guanshan back to reality, "About the most convenient posture for eating hamburgers."
"What else is there to say?" Shen Guanshan cheered up after hearing this and asked with interest, "Aren't they all caught and eaten?"
Gu Xing explained in detail, "Thin burgers can indeed be grabbed casually, but if there are too many things inside, the food and juice inside will easily leak out..."
He demonstrated with the Whopper in his hand.
"Most burgers have thicker buns on top, so we turn them over so that thick buns are used as the base, making it difficult for sauces and juices to seep into our hands," Gu Xing said, holding the bottom of the burger with his thumbs and little fingers, and doing the rest. Put six fingers on top, "This way it will be fixed, and the vegetables and meatloaf will not fall off."
Like many professional players, Gu Xing's fingers are white and slender, and his movements are very beautiful.
Shen Guanshan followed the gourd and painted the scoop, and also fixed the burger.
This time she squeezed hard and successfully compressed the space of the burger before taking a bite.
"How's it going? It's pretty useful, right?" Gu Xing asked with a smile on his face.
"...Thank you." Shen Guanshan said this sincerely.
No matter how socially awkward she is, she still knows why the other person suddenly started discussing the topic of eating hamburgers.
Gu Xing has always been proficient in observing details. Based on the clues Shen Guanshan showed today, he can guess what she was struggling with while staring at the burger just now.
He chose to change the subject, "What are you busy with during the summer vacation?"
"I learned to drive in the morning. I signed up for the driving school earlier, so the progress was a little faster than Gu expected. I started studying subject three when I got back." Shen Guanshan swallowed the burger in his mouth. "In the afternoon, I previewed the college textbooks in advance, and played games and watched the competition in the evening... …”
She got excited when she said this, "I've finished all the qualifying rounds, guess what stage it is?"
Gu Xing looked at Shen Guanshan's excited expression and casually replied, "Silver?"
"Gold!" Shen Guanshan was very proud, "8 wins and 2 losses, am I okay?"
This answer surprised Gu Xing, "Niu Niu Niu, Ding Ran has been playing for a year before he is in the same rank as you."
He was very curious about Shen Guanshan's league level and asked what position the opponent was playing.
"Jungle..." Shen Guanshan swallowed the words 'just like you', "I mainly play Qian Jue, this hero is very interesting as a mark."
Gu Xing understood what he said.
Jungling and online can be said to be two games.
If you play laning, players like Shen Guanshan who have zero previous game experience will not be able to get started so smoothly.
There are too many details to consider when laning, and you are always in a confrontation, and it is easy for the opponent to seize loopholes.
Jungling is completely different.
Invasions and collisions occasionally occur, but the frequency of mutual battles is definitely not as high as online.
The jungler in the passerby game is to clear out wild monsters and then compete for ideas.
You can play very well just by relying on your brain - after all, when catching people, as long as the timing is right, you can create a situation where more people fight fewer people. In the early stage, it is difficult for the opponent to ignore the number of people and complete the counterattack.
Especially a character like Kindred.
Now that there are clear rules for mark refresh, Gu Xing can figure out the general gameplay after just two games.
What's more, Shen Guanshan must be very fast at calculating marks.
Moreover, Qian Jue is a hero who rarely gets ban status in low-scoring games, and there are very few proficient players. Shen Guanshan can get the right character in the game to ensure the efficiency of scoring.
"Speaking of which, what does the base of your e-sports club look like?" Shen Guanshan was very interested in this. "I have searched online before, but there is very little information. The photos and videos that have been exposed are from the past few years. of..."
Most clubs currently do not have independent publicity departments.
The team training department is the entire makeup of these clubs.
The League of Legends branch of a domestic first-tier e-sports club like VG, in addition to the training department where Gu Xing works, only has a small business negotiation team that interfaces with Jin Wenhe and Lu Wenjun, mainly responsible for live broadcast-related matters.
The club's lack of publicity will lead to a huge information gap between the team and the audience.
Netizens usually don’t know what the professional teams do in a day, nor do they know the training and accommodation conditions of the players.
This can be seen from the update frequency of "Hero Microphone".
Each club does not have an employee specifically responsible for reviewing whether the voice has passed, so other people can only handle it part-time. The work efficiency is very low and slows down the video production process.
Gu Xing finished the burger, rolled the wrapping paper into a ball, wiped his hands and handed over his mobile phone, "It's in the gallery. I first came here at the time and was very curious about the club, so I took a lot of photos."
"Is this something I can see?" Shen Guanshan first asked Gu Xing to confirm this question.
"Of course, there are no secrets..." Gu Xing reassured her, "Only the content of the training matches and the tactical whiteboard are not allowed to be photographed. Everything else is useless. In fact, when we broadcast live, the camera will also reveal part of the training room."
Shen Guanshan lowered his head and swiped the screen of his phone with his fingers, browsing the room photos in the gallery.
It contained several photos of Gu Xing and his teammates.
There is even a picture of a drunk Imp holding a bottle of wine and raising fire to the sky.
She scanned around and finally understood the internal structure of VG Club.
"Is this the Hongmi coach's seat?" Shen Guanshan pointed to the table and chairs in the center of the training room.
"Yes," Gu Xing took a chicken strip from the box and kept teasing, "He is the VG team leader, and he has a separate table."
"Is he very capable?" Shen Guanshan raised his eyes and asked him, "I saw that many netizens said that the LPL coach is only responsible for ordering takeout, but the evaluation of Hongmi is okay."
Gu Xing responded with a smile, "We don't often order takeout. Even if we do, the team leader is responsible... As for Hongmi's ability, I have tried out three LPL teams: VG, EDG and IG, and I don't have many real contacts with the coaches. But to put it bluntly, Redmi is indeed better than them.”
"If we compare it to the entire LPL league, then I'm not qualified to judge."
Gu Xing has only played in the LPL for a month and a half, and his understanding of other teams in the league is not clear enough to make a conclusion.
As for EDG and IG, he has played training games there and listened to the coaches' reviews. He has a rough understanding of the abilities of the two head coaches and can make clear judgments.
EDG head coach Kuai Xing has not long since turned player into coach, and obviously has not yet clearly defined his coaching philosophy.
IG is one of the few dual-coach clubs in the LPL.
One is Shut Down Chris, the royal trainer of S3 and S4.
There are two global finals runners-up on the credit list.
However, the coaches in the LPL in those two years were really useless, and there was a huge gap in the system between them and OGN.
S5LGD used him as a puppet, but the actual coach was still Hongmi, which made it clear that it was of little use.
This year he went to IG and was responsible for increasing Song Yijin's strength, testing the pressure resistance of the mid laner's thighs, and arranging combinations to find the initiator of the ghost in the bottom lane. As a result, he led the team all the way to the relegation zone.
Perhaps his biggest contribution at IG was the discovery of JackeyLove from the passerby game, but he was transferred to VG through a tacit cooperation between Su Xiaoluo and Gu Xing.
Based on past performance, it is difficult to associate Chris with the description of 'strong'.
Another coach of IG is Korean Mafa.
He was KTB's support before, but later joined the club with the coal-mining brothers Broiler Kakao. Gu Xing didn't have much communication with him, and he felt that he was humble and steady, and his BP was stable.
But if he had to choose between his own head coach, Gu Xing would choose Redmi without hesitation.
"Try these chicken strips. It tastes pretty good." He pushed the carton towards the other party, "It's just a little spicy."
Shen Guanshan responded and took a bite, "Is this kind of gaming chair in your training room really useful?"
"I feel it's not much different from an ordinary chair," Gu Xing took the phone from her hand, "It won't be comfortable if you sit for a long time."
Shen Guanshan reminded with a smile, "You sit there for more than ten hours a day. Normal people will definitely not be able to stand it. You can get up and move more while waiting in line."
She was almost full after finishing the last bite of the burger, and ate French fries while chatting with Gu Xing.
"The French fries here are really delicious," Shen Guanshan picked up one and looked at it. "It's a bit wider than the other two."
"It's better to separate people. Jack likes McDonald's French fries..." Gu Xing glanced at the logo on the Coke cup, "I seem to understand him now."
Burger King still uses Pepsi, which is really unacceptable to Gu Xing.
Shen Guanshan pursed his lips in amusement.
Fortunately, Gu Xing was not thirsty, so he could bear it and planned to return to the base to give some drinks to his teammates.
I called a taxi and went straight to Songjiang University Town.
Shen Guanshan booked the hotel where he stayed with Gu Pan last time. The price was not expensive and the environment was clean and hygienic.
Gu Xing chatted with her to prevent the atmosphere from getting awkward.
The two chatted here and there, and finally talked about their upcoming college life.
"Are you doing military training before your sophomore year?" Gu Xing remembered that he heard his sister mention it before, "Is this a freshman training at Tsinghua University?"
"That's right," Shen Guanshan muttered quietly, "but the senior students from previous batches said that we have to go to Huairou for military training. Tsinghua University can be on campus, and we can use the air conditioning in the dormitories and eat in the cafeteria."
Gu Xing smiled happily when he heard this, "Then we are relatively relaxed. The military training before sophomore year is still on campus!"
Because he had participated in the competition, he met a classmate from the town who was one level above him, and he also entered Fudan University, so Gu Xing got some news about military training.
This kind of timing is perfect for Gu Xing.
The summer season ended at the end of August. If military training started directly after the new students registered, he felt that his reversed day and night routine would not be able to adjust quickly, and his body might not be able to bear it by then.
Arriving near Mount Good Hope, the two got out of the car and walked side by side on the sidewalk.
Gu Xing's chatting ability is really strong. He can bring the topic to Shen Guanshan's lips and guide her to continue talking.
Now Shen Guanshan's chatterbox was completely open. When talking about topics related to mathematics, his expression was no longer as reserved as before.
It was dusk, and the bright streetlights overhead cast a long, slender shadow on the ground for them.
Shen Guanshan also talked endlessly about knowledge related to several series.
Gu Xing looked sideways, and the evening breeze mixed with hot and humid summer vapor blew on his face. Under the light of the stars and moon, the girl was in high spirits.
The already dignified facial features blend into the scenery, and the eyes are bright and clear, with a unique charm.
Finally, Shen Guanshan, who was immersed in the world of mathematics, noticed that Gu Xing had not answered the question for a long time, and instinctively looked at him.
Eyes facing each other.
"...Why are you looking at me? Didn't you understand the Abelian criterion I just told you?"
She has not escaped from the charming series, and her aura is rarely strong. She is completely different from Shen Guanshan in daily life. Her eyes are a little sharp, but not overly strong.
Suddenly she realized something was wrong.
His raised eyebrows quickly converged back, he completed a face change at the speed of light, and his voice lowered, "I forgot you haven't read that in the textbook..."
Gu Xing frowned, "That's fine as you did just now."
"Ah?!" Shen Guanshan Qingqi's brain didn't even follow his words.
"The way you just told me about numerical series," Gu Xing said without thinking, "it's pretty good."
Shen Guanshan digested it for a long time before he understood what he meant.
A touch of pink crept onto her cheeks, which stood out against her fair skin.
"Really?" Shen Guanshan's voice was trembling, and even his steps were trembling.
Gu Xing replied solemnly, "Really."
Shen Guanshan breathed a long sigh of relief, a huge stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth rose into a bright smile.
The gums are still swollen, but not too painful.
The community is closed and you can’t get out, which is good news.
