Chapter 160 159: Password
"Let's do as the Romans do and find a Cantonese restaurant to eat?"
Gu Xing finally took the phone back from Gu Pan's hand by tickling it, and discussed it with his parents and Shen Guanshan.
"I can do either." Shen Guanshan did not express his opinion directly.
If it were left to someone else, Gu Xing would have to think about it for a while and come up with a compromise plan.
But whatever Shen Guanshan says is okay, that means it's true.
The way she expresses her thoughts is always straight, without beating around the bush.
"Are there any restaurants nearby?" The mother looked at her son, "You came to Guangzhou in advance and didn't you visit any of them?"
"What's the point? I'm busy training every day. When I eat, I always order takeout or go to the hotel restaurant." Gu Xing rubbed his belly. In order to ensure his condition, he didn't eat anything at noon. Now he was inevitably hungry.
Dad noticed Gu Xing's actions and immediately pointed out the fault, "Panpan also said that you were so happy that you won the championship that you probably didn't have the heart to eat..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Pan hurriedly raised his voice, "There is a Cantonese restaurant two hundred meters away with a pretty good rating!"
Gu Xing thought to himself that Gu Pan was half right. He had just won the championship and was really happy now. Although he couldn't fill his stomach, he didn't care about such trivial matters. He just asked his sister to use the map navigation to walk to the restaurant.
Dusk is closing, and without the sun's attack, the weather is finally not as hot as in the afternoon.
During this trip to Guangzhou, Gu Pan rarely chatted with his parents alone, for fear of neglecting Shen Guanshan.
But things are different now.
Gu Pan studied it carefully and chose to take a step forward to squeeze in between his parents. He held their arms with his left and right hands and complained in a low voice that his father was snitching on Gu Xing.
In this way, space will be left for my brother and Shen Guanshan.
Gu Xing was puzzled.
He didn't know about the late-night conversation the two girls had behind his back, so he just thought that Gu Pan had changed his temper.
"Congratulations," Shen Guanshan congratulated softly, "This summer is very successful for you."
If you perform well in the college entrance examination, you can go to a good university, and you can work part-time in the summer and accidentally become the LPL champion.
A pure win-win!
Gu Xing pondered for a moment, "...actually it's not that perfect."
He meant something.
Even though Shen Guanshan was not good at socializing, he still understood the meaning.
He just didn't say anything anymore.
I still remember the scene when I was in Zhenhai People’s Park.
She didn't want to make everything clear before Gu Xing had decided on his future choice, which would only cause trouble to the other party.
As a result, as soon as he finished ordering at the restaurant, Gu Xing told his family and friends his inner thoughts.
"I want to take a year off from school and play a season to test the waters."
The parents were not surprised.
The last time Gu Xing returned to Zhenhai for vacation, he got the final decision after discussion.
At that time, he was hesitant and wavering, just because he had just finished the regular season and had not yet achieved excellent honors.
Now that Gu Xing has reached the top of the league, it will definitely add a weight to the scale of decision-making, affecting his inner choice.
"Do you really understand?" Dad motioned for everyone to share the crispy squab that was just brought to the table, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Xing, "As I said before, there is no turning back."
Gu Xing weighed the pros and cons, thought about it again in his mind, and then solemnly replied, "I have thought about it clearly. I will take a year off from school to start a career."
Compared with before, Gu Pan's psychology was less unbalanced.
If the brother and sister both earn about the same amount, she still wants to compete for the upper hand.
Now she understands the gap and knows that she will not be able to catch up with Gu Xing in a few years by earning money through part-time jobs.
Unless you find another way!
"When you start to register for school, you have to ask the Fudan Academic Affairs Office," Gu Pan kindly reminded, "you need to fill in the suspension application form and the school departure checklist."
Gu Xing glanced at her.
You've never stopped studying, so why are you so familiar with it?
Shen Guanshan was visibly happy. He sandwiched a piece of fragrant sesame chicken into his mouth, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
It was the first time for several people to eat Cantonese food, and the dishes and taste were quite novel to them.
"Go to the city for a walk tomorrow," Gu Xing looked at his parents, "It's hard to come out once, let's play for two more days."
In his impression, his parents had never traveled since they were laid off and opened a small store. They were busy during holidays and could not afford to rest.
"Sure," my father agreed, then turned around and asked, "Is there anything going on in your team?"
"The team will have a celebration banquet tomorrow night, and there will be an expedition ceremony the day after tomorrow. Just go over and rehearse in the afternoon," Gu Xing sorted out the events of the past two days. "It's not too busy."
Gu Pan swallowed the steamed chicken feet in his mouth, "Just in time, Guan Shan and I will go to BJ on September 3rd. We can leave two days in between to return to Zhenhai to pack our luggage. You can have fun on the rest of the days!"
She was spinning around like a spinning top this summer, taking up most of her day just to take the driver's license exam and work as a part-time tutor.
Finally able to have some free time, Gu Pan wanted to relax and excitedly made travel plans impromptu.
After finishing the dishes and having a full meal, Gu Xing shared the recent interesting things with his relatives and friends. Gu Shengbin, who has a relatively abstract personality, was naturally the focus of the discussion.
"By the way, how did you train after arriving in Guangzhou?" Shen Guanshan was very curious about this, "Have the officials provided computers and training rooms for you?"
"How can such a good thing happen?" Gu Xing shook his head, "We have to go to the Internet cafe."
At present, the LPL is just a grassroots team compared with mature sports leagues.
A total of six teams went to Guangzhou to participate in the finals and bubble competition.
The organizer, Banana Plan, is obviously not of high quality and the planning plan is very imperfect.
The training room is okay. Renting a few more hotel conference rooms will definitely free up space.
But they couldn't find dozens of computers that met the requirements at one time.
At the same time, the network problem cannot be solved!
The team managers of the six teams got together to discuss and simply rent out the Internet cafe near the hotel as a training venue.
At this point Gu Xing became energetic.
"You have to be 18 years or older to enter the Internet cafe. Guess what? There is a minor in our team!"
My mother, who was biting hibiscus spring rolls, listened with interest.
"JackeyLove?" Shen Guanshan knew that the youngest person in VG was Yu Wenbo.
"Yes, it's Jack," Gu Xing beamed, "He couldn't go into the Internet cafe and use the computer... In the end he had to stay in the hotel and play games on his laptop!"
There is actually another solution.
Borrow the ID cards of other people in the training department to turn on the phone and let Jack fish in troubled waters and sneak in to play.
But there are risks after all. If you are reported, just send it directly.
Fortunately, Yu Wenbo was not the starter, and he was too lazy to take the risk of going to the Internet cafe. He simply lay comfortably in the room with his laptop and went to Ionia to kill randomly.
As Gu Xing spoke, he was still glad that he only came to work professionally after he became an adult.
Otherwise, people may be dumbfounded when they arrive in Guangzhou and find that it takes a lot of effort to maintain normal training.
Fill your mouth with a piece of dessert, and the mellow green tea flavor melts between your lips and teeth. The sweetness is just right and not too cloying.
The parents ran to the bathroom, and the two girls gathered together to discuss the precautions for reporting to Peking University.
Gu Xing took the time to look at his phone.
Earlier, there was a shower of red envelopes in the VG training department group chat.
Ding Jun was so happy that he thought that the 1.5 million bonus club not only did not take a commission but even helped to pay taxes, but he still felt that it was not enough. He distributed dozens of red envelopes in a row and acted like a money-spreading boy.
Before Gu Xing could grab it, he saw a large number of congratulatory messages from friends inside and outside the circle.
His middle school and high school classmates, members of the Seven Wolves including Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, as well as Korean players such as Dandy and Broiler, successfully expanded his WeChat unread chats to 99+.
Even Dong Xiaosa, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, farted twice.
Thanks to Gu Xing's terrifying social skills, the people he met in the e-sports circle could only be divided into two categories: 'extremely good' and 'not bad'.
In Gu Xing's view, everyone is a professional player. In such a small circle, there is no need to make the relationship too tense.
With VG's strong rise to the top this summer, his popularity level has reached a higher level!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Xing's future is limitless and bright.
Anyway, it's just a few words of flattery, and nothing will be lost. If a professional LPL player comes to look familiar, this relationship may come in handy in the future.
Gu Xingguang took a lot of time to reply.
After his parents came back from the bathroom, he scanned all the information and went out to check out.
Shen Guanshan wanted to see the expenses, but was too embarrassed to ask. He watched eagerly as Gu Xing put the bill into his pocket.
"Have you found a place to stay for the night?" Gu Xing asked sideways.
Dad roughly pointed to the location, "I checked before I came here. The hotels around here are not expensive, so I found a place with good conditions in all aspects."
Guangzhou International Performing Arts Center is located in Luogang, a pure suburb. The prices of nearby residences are generally low.
Gu Xing was relieved.
I stayed in a hotel officially arranged by LPL, which was closer to the city. I wanted to book two extra rooms for four people, but they all complained that the price was too expensive and was inappropriate, so I had to give up in the end.
Shen Guanshan shook his phone at him before leaving.
Gu Xing understood, waved goodbye and got into a taxi and rushed to his residence.
On the way, he went to the e-sports forum to see how netizens praised him.
The finals have just ended, the post bar is in full swing, and the post refresh rate is extremely fast.
[Just that three-to-zero sweep, where’s Piggy? Where’s Piggy? Come out and save me! 】
[It can be considered a conclusion, Virtue is the number one jungler in LPL! 】
[The factory director is really not doing well this year. Chun Jue was beaten by the incense pot, and Xia Jue was raised by Xiao Gu.]
[Congratulations to EDG for winning double Asia in the league within one year. If they win another runner-up in the World Championship, I suggest the team travel to Sanya during the offseason to fulfill their wish]
[World Championship runner-up? Do you have any misunderstandings about EDG】
[What does VG say about this year’s World Championship? Is Xiao Gu going to play or go to school? 】
Gu Xing typed loudly and left a message in the comment at the end - inside information, I am an e-sports chair at the VG base, and I heard Virtue say that I want to continue playing games.
2016 was the peak period of activity for the anti-stress community, and his ordinary statement received several new replies within a short period of time.
[Really or not, will this melon stay ripe? 】
[It’s true, I’m Virtue’s mouse, and I heard him say with my own ears that he was going to punch and kick Bengi in the World Championship! 】
[I feel that as long as VG has Xiao Gu, they can at least reach the semi-finals of the World Championship]
[Have you passed the semi-finals? Who can beat the top three in LCK? Besides, there is also the European Division. Their two semi-final seats last year were not better than ours? I advise the LPL to be pragmatic and understand the concept of operations first before talking about the top four! 】
Gu Xing scanned the posts with his fingers across the screen.
All netizens were full of praise for his performance in the finals, and some guys with fast hands made animated pictures.
Including but not limited to Beer Man's geometric barrel jumping over the tower to single-kill the factory director, nuclear bomb barrel explosion output and Kindred's ultimate escape.
On a whim, Gu Xing saved the animation to his phone.
It has to be said that seeing compliments from stranger netizens always makes him feel happy in a different way.
Back to the hotel room, roommate Ding Ran has not returned yet.
Looking at the content in Moments, I think I was following Ding Jun out to eat and drink.
Gu Xing took a shower and put on clean clothes.
Adjust the air conditioning speed to prevent the room from getting too hot.
As soon as I dried my hair with a hair dryer, I received a QQ call.
"Hey, hey, hey?"
Gu Xing lay on his back on the bed and came to Zhangkou.
The mattress in the hotel was too soft and he was not used to it. He couldn't sleep well these days.
Fortunately, after the finals, there was no pressure on Gu Xing's shoulders. Now he is very relaxed and even wants to have a good sleep now.
"I discussed it with Gu Pan and my uncle and aunt, and planned to have morning tea tomorrow morning and then go for a walk around the Canton Tower..."
Shen Guanshan's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone.
Gu Xing could hear the sound effects of Summoner's Rift coming from over there, probably because Gu Pan was playing a game.
Before he could speak, he heard Shen Guanshan suddenly change the topic.
"How much did you spend on dinner tonight?"
Even though Gu Xing had outstanding adaptability, he was stunned for a moment by the girl's strange brain circuit, "Huh?"
Hearing his surprised reaction, Shen Guanshan, who had just finished taking a shower, subconsciously scratched his fluffy hair and said his reason, "I want to transfer the money."
Gu Xing knew that Shen Guanshan didn't want to take advantage, so he turned over and sat up, pulled out tonight's pair of sweatpants from his change of clothes, and found the bill in his pocket.
"How much do you plan to transfer?" he asked casually.
"20%," Shen Guanshan said matter-of-factly, "There are five people in total."
"This is unscientific..." Gu Xing explained, "I ate two extra pieces of dim sum. Gu Pan almost ate all the steamed chicken feet by himself. You ate less than 1/5 of the full dozen. Go to 20 Isn’t % of the meal expense a loss? ”
Now it was Shen Guanshan's turn to be speechless.
She had never been very smart when it came to dealing with trivial matters in this area, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.
After thinking for a long time, he asked in a confused voice, "What should I do?"
"In this case," Gu Xing was persuasive, "you'd better transfer 20% to me. When you return to Zhenhai, I'll treat you to two skewers of sizzling squid, and we'll be even."
Shen Guanshan thought about Gu Xing's solution in his mind and felt that it was perfect.
Agreeing to it means that the two of them will have the opportunity to be alone in the future.
Just what she wanted.
But...
Shen Guanshan asked confusedly, "How much does a bunch of squid cost? How much can I exchange for a few cups of yogurt?"
She didn't know that this was a topic continuation point deliberately left by the other party.
The word yogurt is almost a secret code between the two of them.
Gu Xing didn't bring it up directly, but first talked about it, waiting for Shen Guanshan to take the initiative to ask back.
Although he has never been in love, he has learned many general skills from countless social experiences.
Gu Xing feels that all types of relationships in the world cannot be enjoyed by oneself, and the best thing is to go in both directions, otherwise it will be boring.
Friendship and family relationships are like this, and love is no exception.
Especially for long-distance relationships, we rarely see each other in person and mainly rely on video calls.
If you blindly ask for or blindly give, the relationship will probably not last long.
Gu Xing could feel that Shen Guanshan had a good impression of him.
But the crux of the problem is that this girl is too clumsy at communication.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a topic killer.
If you look through the chat history between the two of them, you will find that she uses ‘oh’ and ‘um’ very frequently.
This is the result of Shen Guanshan's deliberate catering.
For people she doesn't know well, there is no topic she can't stop talking about!
When it comes to long-distance love, Gu Xing is afraid that the novelty will be worn away sooner or later, and it will eventually become calm and boring.
He thought of Ding Ran.
My roommate stays in the hotel and usually goes to the movies when he has nothing to do.
Ding Rante likes Liu Yifei, and in order to express his support, he dared to watch a romantic movie starring Liu Yifei.
The male protagonist in it said something to the female protagonist - Do you know what I hate most is that you are like a stone.
Ding Ran was devastated after watching the movie. At that time, Gu Xing asked a few questions, which he would answer over and over again.
Now, it was Gu Xing who was worried that his long-distance relationship with Shen Guanshan would evolve into this.
Trying to avoid a bitter outcome, he decided to try to solve it first.
Let’s borrow a quote from the factory director and apply it.
Before Gu Xing confessed his feelings, he was already studying the opponent of long-distance relationship.
The positive feedback given by Shen Guanshan made Gu Xing feel happy.
The two chatted and laughed for ten minutes. If Ding Ran hadn't returned to the room, they probably could have chatted for another half day.
Gu Xing hung up the phone and hummed happily.
"No one can guess, this is our secret code..."
Ding Ran, who was burping, was holding a bottle of Coke in his hand and was still thinking about tonight's feast. When he saw Gu Xing singing "Code", he curiously asked, "Did you remember anything happy?"
"I can only say that everyone who understands understands, and those who don't understand can't help it." Gu Xing lay on the bed and acted as the riddler.
Ding Ran climbed up and punched him, vaguely guessing the answer in his heart.
……
The next day, Gu Xing got up and went out to play with his family and Shen Guanshan. He waited until later in the evening and rushed to the restaurant according to the address of the celebration banquet given in the group.
Ding Jun has indeed spent a lot of money. Just looking at the layout and decoration of the restaurant, it is estimated that the cost is more expensive than the local cuisine he had eaten in Shanghai before.
Ding Jun was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Xing. Seeing him coming alone, "Xiao Gu, where are your family members?"
"They were exhausted after a day of playing, so they went back to the hotel directly..." Gu Xing replied.
This is the truth.
But it’s also true that no one wants to come.
The parents knew that they came to the celebration banquet just to make up the numbers. They were of different generations from the young people, so they couldn't talk to them together if they had anything to say.
Gu Pan was too lazy to move. She finally rested and relaxed, and had to attend the celebration party and socialize.
As for Shen Guanshan, he was originally a social fear.
Sitting next to a table full of unfamiliar people is torture.
Moreover, the relationship between the two was not confirmed, so it would not be convenient for Gu Xing to bring her here.
In the end, only Gu Xing was left to attend the banquet alone.
"Yes, there will be more opportunities in the future." Ding Jun patted him on the shoulder and asked him to sit at his table.
Gu Xing always felt that there was something in his boss's words.
Before he could figure it out, Jack's attention was drawn to him.
"Lao Gu, come quickly and wait until my Buddha jumps over the wall is yours!"
Gu Xing was happy to hear Yu Wenbo's words and quickly moved closer to him.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall contains seafood, and Jack, who is allergic to seafood, will definitely not be able to eat it.
All members of the competition training department and several family members sat down together. Ding Jun raised the glass containing Coke and coughed twice.
"Let me say a few words first..."
It was quiet in the box.
Ding Jun glanced at everyone in the room.
"Today we are gathered here to celebrate the outstanding results achieved in the summer split, the championship and the No. 1 seed in the division. To be honest, I never dreamed that our team, which has just been running for less than half a year, can flourish in the summer."< br>
"Thank you to the management, Manager Lu and Team Leader Jin, for their hard work this summer, thank you to the dedicated Hongmi coach, thank you to Brother Long who is as steady and solid as ever, and to Mr. Hou who came to a foreign country to prove himself..."
Ding Jun mentioned all the members of the training department.
Finally, he looked at Gu Xing.
"I also have to sincerely thank Xiao Gu," he said with sincere eyes, "Without you, VG would not have created such brilliant achievements in the Summer Split."
Gu Xing smiled brightly.
He even wants to have an international fallback.
You said that I worked part-time during the summer vacation just to make some pocket money.
How did you become the LPL champion just by playing?
"I also wish that everyone will get what they want at the World Championships in October," Ding Jun is full of expectations. "I will go to the scene to cheer you on!"
The crisp sound of glasses colliding with each other echoed heavily in the sealed box.
After Ding Jun finished speaking, the room instantly became lively.
Mr. Hou was muttering to Gu Xing, "Xiao Gu, what are your plans? Aren't you going to play in the World Championship?"
Gu Xing forgot to inform his teammates that Easyhoon's information was lagging behind, and he thought he was giving up the great opportunity to make a name for himself.
"Zi Gu, you must come!" Gu Shengbin muttered, "Zi Gu, how can I live without you..."
"I've thought about it, and I'm going to take a break from school to compete in the World Championships." Gu Xing turned to his boss again.
Ding Jun was overjoyed.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the celebration banquet to persuade him, but he couldn't wait until he set off to return to the base, so he went straight to Zhenhai halfway, hoping that Xiaozhi would be moved by his affection and try his best to keep Gu Xing.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xing figured it out on his own!
"Great," Ding Jun felt like he had drank the elixir from Harry Potter in the past two days, which brought him luck. "We will talk in detail after the celebration banquet!"
Several teammates were happy.
Gu Xing is now recognized as the team's leading figure.
Without him, this World Championship would really be hopeless.
World6 also happily showed a pair of small tiger teeth.
As Gu Xing's rotation, it is unrealistic to say that he does not want to play in the game.
If Gu Xing goes to school, he can become VG's starting jungler.
Seems like a perfect opportunity.
But World6 knows that its level is not good enough!
If you go up and get beaten up by powerful men from all over the world, the audience will not let you go.
Thousands of netizens will compare him with Gu Xing and step into the endless abyss!
World girls are not stupid.
He wished that Gu Xing would always start, and he would study hard for a year and then seek opportunities to play.
Gu Xingchong asked the silly Easyhoon next to him, "Master Hou, do you want to eat Shenjing roast goose?"
"What's the deep well?" Li Zhixun was confused.
When he heard this word for the first time, he thought Gu Xing was scolding him for being crazy.
"Roast goose, goose, goose, goose!" Jack said in a lively voice, waving his hands at his sides, as if he was about to take off.
Koreans don't like to eat this stuff.
But when Mr. Hou saw that several teammates were having a good time eating, he still couldn't control his curiosity and took a piece of it.
Then he couldn't stop.
Ju Shengbin, on the other hand, never refuses anyone who comes. He tastes every dish on the table and wants to eat it ten times a second.
As a result, Imp was almost full as soon as the food was served, so he just lowered his head and played with his phone when no one paid attention to him.
Gu Xing took a spoonful of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, sipped the thick but not greasy soup, and then tasted a piece of soft and tender sea cucumber, looking extremely satisfied.
"Puff, what are you looking at?" He asked casually when he saw Gu Shengbin's focused expression.
"LCK bubble match," Imp stared intently, "Don't argue, don't argue, the key here is..."
Gu Xing turned his head and looked over.
The Korean League’s bubble competition starts earlier than the LPL.
It officially started the day before yesterday.
Since the Tigers won the Summer Split, SKT was able to get the second seed in the division through the highest points rule throughout the year.
The remaining JinAir, AFS, Samsung and KT fought brutally.
This afternoon, the bubbling competition entered the final round.
Samsung vs. KT.
The newly formed SSG had a strong start in the summer split. In the past few weeks, they were still a strong team that could compete with SKT and ROX.
Entering the second half of the league, the results became increasingly mediocre.
In the playoffs, they were only in second place, and were swept out by KT 3-0, losing face.
"Can KT win?" Xiao Duan made a reasonable guess, "After all, KT is a team that has two teams chasing three SKT."
Zhu Xiaolong also leaned over to agree with this view, "Xia Jue still fights ROX to the end. If Smeb hadn't used Captain's 2 drops of blood to grab the Baron, the champion might have been KT!"
Judging from their performance in the summer split, KT is undoubtedly the top team in the world!
Especially the old captain Score and top laner Ssumday are in excellent condition and are completely at the top level in the world.
Gu Xing thought so too.
Imp has a different view, "Do you know Hammer? Believe in SSG. Samsung is the pride of us Koreans!"
The bubbling match has reached its fourth round.
KT was leading 2-1 before.
One step away from the World Championship.
Except for Gu Shengbin and Hongmi, all employees in the VG training department believe that KT will win.
But KT suddenly pulled his crotch at the critical moment!
Samsung, which used to have a slow pace, defeated KT in just 28 minutes!
The kill ratio is 14:1!
Such an exaggerated ratio allocates a full 10 minutes of game time faster than the average game.
Undoubtedly a crushing victory!
Ju Shengbin lives in Bengbu.
"It's over!" He shouted triumphantly, "KT must have had a mental breakdown in the fifth game!"
This is Imp's judgment as a veteran who has been racing for many years.
The facts really went according to his script.
I don’t know if KT is dreaming back to the shocking scene of being overturned by ROX in the fifth game of the Summer Finals.
The jungler Score was completely out of shape, and his matchup was defeated by Boss An!
In 34 minutes, SSG won the fifth round of the bubble match and successfully advanced to the S6 global finals!
Hongmi smiled.
He quickly called his old leader Edgar to congratulate him.
Jack suddenly shouted.
"What the hell?!"
Gu Xing was drinking up the soup base of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, and asked slowly, "Jack, do you have access to the Internet in every village? We all know that KT has been overturned."
"What KT, look at the LPL bubble game, you don't know how much higher it is than the LCK!" Yu Wenbo's voice was full of surprise.
Chapter 7K words.
Mainly about daily life, the number of words will be less.
Strive for more updates tomorrow.
On May 4th, 7100 words were updated, totaling 3.74W/27W.
Based on yesterday’s comments, I finally decided to extract skins one by one.
Originally I thought it would be 35 and 7 sets.
Looked at the price.
I don’t know if you want the signed version or the unsigned version.
If it’s a signed version, I’d better draw 35.
The price of the non-signed version will be cheaper. The author has more blood and can draw 49 pieces.
