Full-time expert, all-around designer

July 17, outside Zurich E-Arena

Although it's not yet the opening time, enthusiastic Glory players have already filled the originally spacious square.

"Hey, fellow! Uncle, you like Glory even at such an age!" A young man excitedly said to the fat middle-aged man beside him. He had to go all the way to chat with this Asian-looking uncle. Squeezed over.

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, I have liked this thing for more than ten years."

"Uncle is a loyal old player! My name is Zhao Li, eh... Uncle, you look familiar, what's your last name?" Zhao Li scratched his head.

"Miangui, surnamed Tao, Tao Xuan." Tao Xuan said with a smile.

"Tao Xuan, this name is very familiar... I seem to have heard it from somewhere." The young man frowned.

"After all, it's just the name of the bad street. I can't squeeze in for a while, so let's go to the cafe over there?" Tao Xuan said with a smile. When he is abroad, it would be nice to meet someone who speaks his native language. Not bad.

Zhao Li turned his head and took a look, the cafe on the street corner was also full of people, but there were quite a few Chinese compatriots sitting there, waving to this side now.

"Okay, I invite you." Zhao Li said with a cheerful smile: "By the way, Uncle Tao, you are quite old, and you are here to accompany your child to study abroad?"

"I'm tired of doing business, so I want to go out and take a rest." Tao Xuan said cheerfully, "I didn't expect to meet the World Invitational Tournament when I traveled to Zurich, so I decided to stay here for a while."

"Then you are really lucky, which member of our Chinese national team do you like best?"

"Ye Xiu...he has always been my idol." Tao Xuan thought for a while, "By the way, there is also Su Mucheng, and the other one, you may not be familiar with, is called Su Muqiu..."

"You like God Ye too!" The young man who was chatting beside him suddenly became excited and joined the discussion here.

Tao Xuan responded with a smile, but his thoughts were a little wandering.

That's right, Ye Xiu used to be his idol.

"I like Huang Shaotian the most! Juggernaut, Huaxia Juggernaut, how handsome!"

"Obviously Team Zhou is more handsome..."

"I still like Wang Jiexi better."

"Bai Mo is about the same as Zhou Zekai!"

Tao Xuan looked at the group of children with a smile, and his originally nervous mood relaxed a little.

"Boss Tao?" A suspicious voice rang out.

Tao Xuan froze for a moment, then looked back, a young man who had caused him a lot of trouble looked at him with a smile and raised the coffee in his hand: "Do you want a drink?"

Zhao Li turned around in surprise: "Uncle Tao, is this your son? He is dressed like a big star, and he is wrapped tightly."

Bai Mo's smiling face hidden under the mask froze for a moment, his throat rolled, but he still didn't say "I am his father" in the end.

"Friend, friend, a little brother. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here." Tao Xuan smiled and patted Zhao Li on the shoulder: "Then I'll go talk first."

"Okay, Uncle Tao!"

Tao Xuan walked up, seeing the embarrassed expression on Tao Xuan's face, Bai Mo sighed, and passed over the coffee in his right hand: "Help me take it! It's quite heavy..."

"Oh, good!" Tao Xuan took it with some relief, and then followed Bai Mo to a slightly secluded place and sat down.

Although it was Bai Mo who called him, it was obvious that he had no intention of speaking first. After putting the things aside, he buckled up his phone and just handed Tao Xuan a cup of coffee.

After Tao Xuan thanked him, he started to drink, but he didn't speak first.

The two of them just sat here in silence, while the square in front of them was still full of people.

After being silent for a long time, Tao Xuan finally couldn't help but speak first: "It seems that the competition is about to start, why are you still outside?"

"Buy coffee." Bai Mo put down his phone and glanced at Tao Xuan.

"...Are you really lost and can't get in?" Tao Xuan asked.

... Sure enough, this guy is still so annoying.

Bai Mo's face darkened suddenly: "But you, you seem to be doing well recently, and your complexion has improved a lot."

"After letting go of some things, I thought about it. Thinking about the things in the past, I feel a little ashamed." Tao Xuan said calmly: "It's you, you haven't entered the professional circle for a long time, and the things you caused are not small. , Bingzhu, a very imposing name..."

It's enviable.

Tao Xuan smiled wryly. In the past, he more or less wanted to shine in the arena, but in the end, he went the wrong way.

Money is such a delicious poison...

"It's okay." Bai Mo shrugged.

The two fell silent again. They were not familiar with each other at first, and even had some conflicts. Naturally, they didn't have that much to say, but Tao Xuan still wanted to know a lot: "Mucheng and...Ye Xiu, the recent relationship okay?"

"It couldn't be better, and the relationship is going smoothly." Bai Mo smiled: "I guess I will get married soon."

"Oh, that's good, that's good..."

In fact, there are still many things I want to say, but... Tao Xuan smiled wryly and shook his head, is he worthy?

"I'll take you to the place where the contestants enter first, then you can ask the staff and join the others quickly." Tao Xuan let out a long breath.

"What's the hurry? It's still early. Besides, don't you still have a lot of things you want to ask? The Lord has come but you want to leave?" Bai Mo pointed to the front.

Tao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of Bai Mo's finger, a man and a woman were walking towards this side.

"Long time no see, Brother Tao..." Ye Xiu smiled, and lit a cigarette. Although he was not used to foreign cigarettes, that was all he had.

"Brother Tao."

Following Su Mucheng's call Tao Brother, Tao Xuan completely relaxed. The original nervousness and anxiety all turned into a relieved smile: "You're beautiful again..."

"Well, thank you Brother Tao for giving me gifts last year."

"Yeah, as long as you like it, you can buy it if you look pretty..."

Ye Xiu sat next to Bai Mo, picked up a cup of coffee, "How did you meet?"

"When I was buying coffee, I saw him staring at your photo all the time, and couldn't help saying hello." Bai Mo said indifferently.

"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded, and smiled when he saw Tao Xuan's bewildered look in front of Su Mucheng.

Su Mucheng's feelings for Tao Xuan are still very complicated, and Tao Xuan plays a very important role in Su Mucheng's life. She and her brother had already known this brother Tao long before they met Ye Xiu.

Tao Xuan also took good care of the two siblings, giving Su Muqiu a list from time to time to help them get through the most difficult time. Later, after Su Muqiu passed away, he also took good care of Su Mucheng, and treated Ye Xiu like a younger brother. At least the two of them were not hungry.

only later...

The eldest brother and the second brother in the family had a conflict, and Su Mucheng made her own choice...

"What a complicated person." Bai Mo shook his head.

"Hmm..." Ye Xiu nodded, and had been chatting for about an hour before he knew it, and when the audience entered the arena, Tao Xuan reluctantly stopped talking, "Well, you guys go, It's about to start, don't delay the business."

"Okay." Su Mucheng nodded, and Bai Mo and Ye Xiu also stood up.

The three of them took the coffee they bought and walked towards the contestants' hidden entrance passage.

"Mucheng, Ye Xiu."

Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu turned their heads to look.

Tao Xuan opened his mouth: "I'm sorry, I... will cheer you up below."

Su Mucheng laughed, but her eyes were a little red, and then she nodded vigorously.

Ye Xiu waved his hand, and the backs of the three of them completely disappeared into the crowd.

Tao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, Bai Mo... also owes him a favor.

"Uncle Tao!" Zhao Li waved his arms over there: "We're entering the arena soon, are we together?"

"good!"

Zhao Li was a little puzzled, and suddenly felt that the uncle he had just met had become a little different.

Huaxia team's internal lounge

"It's been more than an hour, this boy Bai Mo is definitely lost." Huang Shaotian said cheerfully, "Is there anyone who bet on it?"

"Bet on you big-headed ghost." Bai Mo pushed the door angrily and walked in, followed by Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng: "Here, the coffee you want, official players are hard to serve."

Bai Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Hiss, why has this ice melted..." Sun Xiang took a cup with some distaste, he would never say thank you to Bai Mo, at most he would run errands for this guy next time...

When Bai Mo heard this, he snatched the coffee from Sun Xiang's hand in an instant: "It's just right to be disgusted. Your former boss drank yours. Thank you for your patronage of 100 yuan."

Sun Xiang looked at his hand, then at Bai Mo: "Why don't you grab it?"

"It makes sense, quickly take out the money and buy peace." Bai Mo nodded.

"All right, all right, stop making trouble, this is for you." Ye Xiu picked up a cup and handed it to Sun Xiang, but he didn't drink it himself.

Everyone was drinking and chatting, waiting for the staff to announce the entrance. The staff did not wait, but Pan Lin, who was probing his head, came: "Master Ye Xiu, Teacher Bai Mo!"

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Bai Mo asked curiously, "You were hunted down by Li Yibo?"

"Uh...that's not true, the main reason is that we didn't know about today's lottery match before, so I want to ask God Ye and God Bai to be special guests..." Pan Lin scratched his head in embarrassment.

Ye Xiu and Bai Mo looked at each other: "Are you going?"*2

"I'm going? I still have to watch these guys."*2

"Forget it, Xiaobai, you can go, after all, Ye Xiu still has the status of a team leader." Yu Wenzhou smiled and shook his head: "It just so happens that you can see more things in the commentary booth."

Bai Mo hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Pan Lin cheerfully brought Bai Mo to a room, where Li Yibo was sitting there in formal attire, being fiddled with by several make-up artists.

As soon as Bai Mo came in, he was dragged away by an aunt: "You don't need to change your clothes, the official uniforms of the national team will do... Over there, let's make up two people, hurry up and put on makeup, time is running out..."

"Um, it seems like it's not easy for you to explain." Bai Mo turned his head to look at Li Yibo beside him, a little speechless.

Li Yibo didn't speak, and sat upright as if facing an enemy.

"Don't move!" Auntie criticized extremely seriously: "Just now Li Yibo shaved off his eyebrows by messing around, do you want to paint them like him?"

"I'm sorry sister..."

"Do not talk!"

For his own eyebrows, Bai Mo decided to endure the humiliation.

"Why haven't you started yet? Is the website stuck?" Chen Guo refreshed the website several times in disbelief.

Tang Rou shook her head helplessly: "Guoguo, it won't start until half an hour..."

"But there should be pre-match interviews or something. It's okay to listen to Li Yibo or Pan Lin talking about cross talk..." Chen Guo said a little discouraged.

Tang Rou smiled, and pulled the fruit plate and snacks in front of Bai Luoluo towards Bai Luoluo, then handed drinks and the like to the little poor boy over there.

Xingxin's professional players appeared in the conference room neatly, and the guild boss Wei, Wu Chen, Lin Yi, and even Guan Rongfei rarely stayed in the R\u0026D room.

"This is rare, Lao Guan, why are you willing to come out of that precious research and development room of yours?" Lao Wei shaved his teeth. He was a little stuffed from eating just now, and his teeth were stuffed. He had to smoke a cigarette...

As soon as the cigarette was taken out, Chen Guo appeared on his back like a flash and slapped it down: "I want to smoke it out, so many children didn't see it!"

Old Wei put away his cigarette depressed.

Guan Rongfei glanced at him: "Let's take a look at the achievements of the past few days."

"Oh, the kind that can't be said now, right... um, is there a picture?" Old Wei said in a spirited way: "The on-site commentary seems to be Li Yibo and Pan Lin, right?"

"Hmm...huh?" Everyone's eyes widened: "Xiaobai?"

Tang Rou looked at Bai Mo who seemed to be more handsome in the picture without blinking her eyes. Bai Mo's fingers were gently gesturing something.

Tang Rou smiled, this was a code word between them.

Hmm... I miss you too.

"Hello, audience friends, we are now at the National E-Arena in Zurich, and I am your old friend Pan Lin."

"I'm Li Yibo."

"I'm the special guest this time, Bai Mo..." Bai Mo stopped his hands and said with a smile.

"Today we are also very fortunate to have Mr. Bai Mo as our special guest..."

Pan Lin started talking blah blah blah, and Li Yibo and Bai Mo interrupted from time to time, and the atmosphere wasn't so awkward.

"Okay, the time has come to 20:00 local time, and players from all over the world have begun to enter the stadium... The members of our Chinese national team have also entered the venue, and the leader walking in the forefront is also the myth of our Huaxia Glory, Great God Ye Xiu..."

"Behind him is..."

When each contestant enters the arena, their photos and the holographic ID of the character will appear on the holographic projection of the division they are in. The sixteen divisions are carried out at the same time, which also brings the atmosphere of the audience to a small climax.

After all the professional players entered and took their seats, the grandfather of the World Electronic Sports Association once again stood at the center of the stage.

The first World Invitational Tournament is officially announced.
