{Time: October 10, 2004}

{Location: Planting Flowers-San Francisco}

"Yvonne~~Yvonne~~what are you looking at?"

"Ah~~I didn't~~I didn't~~ what were I looking at? I was looking at how many of us flower growers there are in this competition."

It wasn't until she was pushed that Ling Shengnan realized that her roommate was calling her by her English name. She quickly looked away from that person and looked at her roommate.

The roommate didn't notice the suspicion in her eyes, so when she turned around, she smiled lightly and said:

"Your Zhonghua e-sports is gradually rising this year. In the past two years, your players had very few opportunities to enter the international arena, but this year many club players from your country suddenly appeared.

Especially in the Warcraft project, your country's Team We's Soho is still very powerful. Although he lost to Grubby yesterday, Geilshort, who won the Benq team today, has helped your country win a first place.

Three.

In the next game, it depends on who is better between the sky player of your team WE and the melon player of our country..."

Her roommate always had a trivial style, so Ling Shengnan didn't care, but her eyes unconsciously looked towards the first row of the auditorium.

There sat a young man with a ponytail. Although she could only see his unclear profile from her perspective, during the 44 days she knew him in 2001, his temperament was imprinted on her early on.

In my mind, even the past three years and more cannot be erased.

big bad wolf,

Why are you here?

Do you remember the little white rabbit?

I'm just ten meters behind you.

I have been away from Hannan for 1312 days, but I never thought that the game you mentioned would bring me here and unexpectedly meet you.

Has your hair not been cut since I left? And the shirt you are wearing seems to be the same shirt you wore in your coat when I first met you, right? Is it because you have been like this in the past?

Three years have been too busy, so are you really so busy that you don’t even have time to dress up or fix your hair?

Then...how do you still have time to come here to watch the game...

It seems that you really like games, so even if you make your career so big, you still sit in the field like a fan and watch the players fighting on the stage.

Eh...

Do you feel something?

…

"What's wrong?"

"Oh...it's okay."

Ning Zimo always felt that there was a line of sight wandering on his back, but when he tried to look for it in the crowd behind him, he saw nothing.

With Hong Zhefu staring at him, Ning Zimo could only smile softly and said, "There were too many people at the 2004 WCG World of Warcraft finals. They were all fanatical e-sports fans. I just saw it in the crowd.

There were a few oriental faces with flowers and five-star red flags painted on their faces, but most of the fans looked more like they were cheering for Guabila."

"Yes, the foreign e-sports atmosphere is still very fanatical. Being in such a scene, I feel more and more that the development of Zhanhua e-sports is too lagging behind."

Hong Zhefu shrugged, and then sighed and said, "But fortunately, Sky performed very well this time and unexpectedly reached the finals. That means Soho is a little regretful. Even if you helped him solve the visa problem, the beast king Guabi

It’s still too good, otherwise we would probably only have to watch the first and second place flower planting finals today.”

"Hey, I'm a little sorry." Ning Zimo also sighed slightly.

Originally, in the previous life of WCG in 2004, Soho did not even come to the scene due to visa issues, while Sky did not appear in the knockout rounds at all.

But his appearance in this life changed everything. The establishment of several clubs and the emergence of the wegame platform gave some players who joined the club an environment where they could practice and compete with peace of mind. As a result, soho and sky also appeared.

Opportunities to be on site in the semi-finals and finals.

After a pause, Ning Zimo still sighed, "Soho is still anxious. His night elves still didn't show their due style when facing Guabi's orcs. Otherwise, we would really sit tight today.

It’s a fishing platform.”

"Hey, who says it's not the case? He blamed himself for a long time after his failure yesterday." Hong Zhefu said helplessly, "He said that if there is a civil war in the WCG finals, it will be seen by our domestic leaders.

The style of cultivating e-sports players. At least the dark age of e-sports like now can be over as soon as possible."

"Hey, he needs to carry this alone." Ning Zimo patted Hong Zhefu on the shoulder and smiled, "And isn't Xiaofeng still up there now? As long as he wins the championship today, I will

Mobilize the resources of Blizzard, Yahoo! and Wegame to promote it well."

Ning Zimo pointed at Peile, who was making final explanations to Li Xiaofeng, and said, "As long as Xiaofeng wins the championship today, the red flag they have prepared will fly in this arena. How can I let this news be heard internationally?"

Promote it on the platform for a few more days!”

"Hey, you can remind Xiaofeng." Hong Zhefu stood up excitedly.

But he was caught by Ning Zimo, "Don't put pressure on him at this time, just let him perform freely."

Ning Zimo held him tightly, and then Hong Zhefu realized that he was too excited.

After a while, he suppressed his inner excitement and sat down slowly.

Ning Zimo patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, the game is about to begin. Let's just watch the game carefully and wait for any results to appear."

"Um."

When Hong Zhefu turned his head, Ning Zimo said with a smile, "If Xiaofeng wins the championship today, I will give you another big gift."

…

After choosing the map, Li Xiaofeng was immersed in his own world.

The opponent in the final was Guabi, a man who soon became known as the Beast King of Europe after switching from StarCraft to Warcraft.

He is very strong, but he does not have no chance. Because the one-wave style of play he developed can still compete with Gua in the early stage. As long as his Archmage can level up to level 3 quickly enough, and then bring

Go up to the Beast King and the militia can attack him.

Although there is still a gap between my level and Soho's, I should be able to win by relying on this method of not fighting in the late stages.

For myself and for those who are also fighting on the front lines of e-sports.

I have to give it a try!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng took several deep breaths.

Then,

Contest,

here we go!

"Xiaofeng's Archmage level 2 wave of mf routes are very good, and the upgrade time is 5 seconds faster than during training. This is a good sign." Hong Zhefu looked excitedly at the big screen.

Ning Zimo was also very happy, "It seems that this guy did not get overwhelmed by the pressure of the Beast King, but instead performed at a higher level."

"Well, I thought this guy had a big heart from the beginning." Hong Zhefu nodded heavily, "In the first two years, when you had not established an e-sports club, their living environment was very difficult, and they often had to rely on hundreds of

The competition prize money of 100 yuan lasted for more than a month. I have been doing this for several years, and now..."

"Hey... we're going up... Guabi's first hole was broken, and he was a few seconds too late to react... This is an opportunity."

"Oh my gosh, Guabi didn't expect that Sky would use the same tactics again. He was a little unprepared. Besides, his tunnel was built so far outside, giving Sky's magic points ample opportunity to fall into the tunnel. Now Guabi is better than the next one.

The infantry will fall behind..."

Hearing the anxious voice of his roommate next to him, Ling Shengnan made Ning Zimo very happy.

The guy also waved his arms slightly, and it seemed that he knew he could win this game again.

If you can get your wish today,

This will make you busy and happy for several days, right?

"Oh my god, the close start of this game obviously put huge pressure on Guabi. He placed two holes in the wrong position in succession. This gave Xiaofeng a chance!"

"The militiamen are here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as the card is stuck before the prophet level 4, he is very likely to win this game quickly."

"The witch is here, these infantrymen are gone. This is an opportunity, Xiaofeng rushes."

"Quick, quick, get the flag, Xiaofeng is going to win!"

Pei Le turned around excitedly, but saw Soho rushing out with the national flag!

"Champion, we are in charge of the army!"

Hong Zhefu turned his head in disbelief, only to find that the person he wanted to hug was already on his seat. He looked around in confusion, only to find that the audience in the venue was going crazy. A large group of fans

People shouted Sky's name, including a few oriental faces and many foreigners who also shouted energetically.

When Hong Zhebo turned his head with satisfaction, he saw the man on the throne whom the enthusiastic fans were shouting for, wearing a national flag and being interviewed by the host.

"...I want to thank...everyone who fights with me...they allow us...this group of professional players to have the opportunity to concentrate on the game...At the same time, I want to thank..."

Li Xiaofeng was so excited that he was even a little incoherent, but before he could say the name he wanted to thank, he found standing in the corner of the stage the person he had met once and whom he wanted to thank the most.

"Our new king Sky is a little excited. It seems that this championship is really not easy for him. It doesn't matter, now we have invited David Finks, the head of the WCG event organizer, and Ning, the honorary president of Blizzard, to come and support us.

Prizes are given to the champions!”

On October 10, 2004, Ling Shengnan felt that he would remember this day forever.

Because the scene in front of her of two flower growers holding the five-star red flag standing on the stage of an international competition would not only shock her eyeballs, but also everyone's.

With their cooperation, the bright five-star red flag was fully displayed on the land of San Francisco, and the flashlights kept shining to help record this unforgettable moment. This scene made Ling Shengnan always feel as if his eyes were filled with mist.

.She quickly held her face with both hands and rubbed her eyes with her fingers.

Is this scene probably the real purpose of his coming here? Because when he was concentrating before, he seemed to be aiming at a place far in the future.

Therefore, he is not just for entertainment. He is not just as simple as the "richest man" who is not doing his job in the eyes of others!

He must have higher and further pursuits!

Big bad wolf,

Although the little white rabbit doesn’t have the right to choose yet,

But she will work hard! She will look at you from a distance.

Until one day she can appear in front of you, she will no longer hide in the crowd like today.

"Let us congratulate the champion again..."

"sky!"

Listening to the crowd's ecstasy, Ning Zimo unconsciously glanced in the direction of the exit.

In that direction, there was a figure from behind that always seemed familiar to him.

But the back figure disappeared so quickly that he couldn't be sure.
