Chapter 196 The Father of Hybrid Rice (2)
"Why do you like Legend?"
Shi Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that the person who spoke this time was not Juice or a master, but Mr. Numbers.
Mr. Number rarely chats via voice, and this was one of the few times he spoke. However, Shi Yao was still confused by his pleasant voice for a while, just like the first time. Then she hurriedly recovered her thoughts and answered the question of [111111] : "The first time I noticed Legend is because he is quite different. He is not like other professional players who show up, live broadcast, participate in commercial performances, and actively interact with fans..."
"Of course, I just noticed him and knew that he was such a professional player. Frankly speaking, at that time, I didn't even remember the letters of his professional name, Legend."
"Besides, I don't play games and I know very little about them, so I didn't know he was very strong at that time. I just paid attention to him and then went to eat Malatang..."
After a pause, Shi Yao explained: "...I was in high school at the time, and I was eating Malatang with my classmates across from the school. The owner of Malatang was watching the game."
“I got to know Legend again by chance. At that time, I was bored on the bus when I went home. I was browsing Weibo on my mobile phone. I saw that he was on the trending search, and then there was an interview with him, which was different from other professional players. Same, it's not a video interview, it's purely recorded by the reporter based on Legend's words."
"That was three years ago, but there is a passage in that interview transcript that I remember very clearly."
"The male idol said that he is not the strongest newcomer, nor is he a dark horse in e-sports. He is a person who purely loves playing games."
“He said that in the e-sports circle, every professional player deserves respect because they gave up the path that ordinary people take and chose this e-sports road that is more cruel than any other road. Many people think that e-sports This circle is a stage, it is lights, it is glory, it is cheers, it is shouting, it is flattery. In fact, it is not. This circle is tears and blood, dreams and sweat. Every professional player goes all out, but the road to The road to championship is a single-plank bridge. E-sports is about performance. When you have results, everyone will say you are invincible. But when you have no results, no one will recognize your talent, because everyone Everyone only remembers the championship, no one knows how the second place walked off the stage.”
"The male idol also said that he does not expect the e-sports industry to be accepted by others, but he hopes there will be no prejudice, because everyone in this circle is betting with their youth."
"At the end of the interview, the male idol said something that moved me a lot..." Shi Yao paused and then said: "...Youth in e-sports has no regrets, and you should be motivated to move forward and bring glory to the country."
"It was that interview that made me start paying attention to my boyfriend. I looked through all his games. How can I put it...I saw love in him. He really entered e-sports because of love. lock up."
"Of course, it's not that the male god is so noble that he doesn't love money. I think there is no one in this world who doesn't love money. I love it too, because with money, you can have a lot of delicious food."
"But what I saw in the male idol was not the desire for fame and fortune, but the love for games. I think this is rare, so I fancied him without hesitation."
["Everyone only remembers the champion, no one knows how the second place walked off the stage" - this sentence was said by Menglei. I have not been exposed to e-sports for a long time. I got into it in 2016 when I was writing "I Liked You Then". At that time, I had the idea of writing about e-sports.
