Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

At 2 p.m. on November 1, 2008, when the taxi Han Yiying took arrived outside the Bird's Nest Stadium, the driver looked at the congested traffic outside the stadium and was stunned.

"Girl, the opening ceremony of your first Coldplay Global Finals was too exciting, wasn't it? This momentum can rival the Olympic Games a few months ago."

Han Yiying was surprised when she saw that the driver knew all about the opening ceremony held here.

"Master, how do you know this is the first Coldplay Global Finals?"

"Hey, we guys in Beijing don't know what they are doing. Recently, many of our colleagues have attracted your e-sports players. Not to mention your WE club members in Xi'an, like European FNC, G2, and South Korea's SKT

, SSG, North American C9, TL, we have seen a lot of them."

"Master, you actually know such an e-sports team?" Han Yiying blinked when she heard this.

The driver in the driving seat turned his head proudly, "Of course, since your WE young man named Li Xiaofeng won the first World of Warcraft championship for our country in 2004, three consecutive championships in three years can give our young Chinese

People's morale increased.

Since then, the status of e-sports in our country has been rising. Not only has the ban on television broadcasts been lifted, but even the newly emerged online live broadcasts have developed quite well. Let’s talk about the status of e-sports. Starting from this year, Li Xiaofeng of your team became the leader.

Can't you see that with the torch bearer?

Nowadays, e-sports is becoming more and more popular, and more and more young people are joining this industry. Even the daughter of a relative of our family has become a commentator in your e-sports circle."

"Daughter? A girl?" Han Yiying became interested, "Master, what is the name of your relative?"

"My surname is Zhang. The child of a relative in our family is my niece. Her real name is Zhang Xiangling, and the narrator's name is Xiao Cang." The driver raised his chin with a proud look on his face.

Han Yiying was immediately surprised when she heard this, "Master, you are Sister Cang's elder~~ No wonder you know so many things. Sister Cang is one of the commentators for our Coldplay Global Finals!"

"That's not true. How else would I know about your industry?" the driver said with a smile, "I heard her say that your Coldplay Global Finals is much more comprehensive than the WCG sponsored by the Koreans. All the companies owned by Blizzard and Blizzard China

E-sports games are all there.”

"Yes, the Coldplay Global Finals is organized by WeGame, a company under our country's Emperor Penguin Group. Blizzard and Blizzard China are also companies under the Emperor Penguin Group, so there are many competitions in our Coldplay Global Finals."

"That's right, our Emperor Penguin Group is amazing. In the early years, some people complained that it was not focusing on its main business to develop games and animations. Who would have thought that it just developed a side business, and then this year it suppressed its big move and released the world-famous

iPhone Zero, that phone simply beats other big brand phones by a few blocks.”

The driver became more and more excited as he talked, and even turned around when the car couldn't move:

"A few days ago, I went to the 3G experience store opened by Emperor Penguin Group in Beijing. The rows of iPhones placed there looked impressive. The feel, quality, and technology are not Nokia's

, old fogies like Motorola can compare.”

"Master, you are so good at using Internet lingo!"

As a standard post-80s generation, Han Yiying always feels that Internet terms such as "complaining", "dumping a few streets", and "holding back big moves" come from the mouth of a driver born in the 60s, which is a very abrupt feeling.

But the closer she felt this sudden reality, the more she felt that the Internet had a huge influence on the public.

On her side, she was feeling the changes that the changing times had on people, while the driver who was undergoing changes was still talking non-stop.

"To say that the head of the Emperor Penguin Group in our country is really awesome, the Coldplay E-Sports Global Finals is being held in full swing. Over there, his company has acquired a new energy company called Maxwell in the United States.

.

I heard that the man named Marx who came to China with him these days is discussing with our country the issue of setting up electric car factories in China. In other words, he has just finished making mobile phones and wants to cooperate with Americans to develop them.

Electric cars..."

After all, the person mentioned by the driver is the Big Boss behind the WE Club, and because of publicity these days, Han Yiying often has interactions with this Big Boss. So what the Big Boss and Elon Musk have to do, their WE Club

Many of them know something about it.

As for the driver's slip of the tongue "Marx", it is estimated that several club teammates in the car will not correct it.

After all, with the age of this driver master, not only does he not have any resistance to these former "e-heroin" players, but he also has a considerable understanding of the e-sports industry as an elder, which can be regarded as

This is the greatest support for these e-sports players.

During the conversation between the driver and the driver, the taxi stopped and arrived at the contestant entrance channel.

Before getting off the bus, Han Yiying was about to pay when she saw the driver take out a ticket for the Coldplay Global Finals from the passenger compartment.

"Come on, I'm going to meet Xiaofeng today. I have to ask you to sign my name no matter what."

The driver turned around and handed the postcard-style ticket to Li Xiaofeng, who was sitting on the other side of Han Yiying. When Li Xiaofeng was stunned, he turned to Han Yiying and smiled, "Miss, come and sign your name for me too, my niece.

But after all, you are one of the few powerful female professional players in our country."

"Master Zhang!!!"

Han Yiying heard this clearly, and was so moved by the actions of the middle-aged man in front of her that she couldn't resist. Her eyes were so hot that she almost couldn't control her tears, and Li Xiaofeng beside her was even more excited and flushed.

"I heard that our strongest opponents in Chinese e-sports this year are all Korean teams. My eldest brother drove all the tanks to Seoul back then. This time the Koreans are knocking on the door. No matter what, you should greet them well for us Chinese!

"

Master Zhang looked at the four young people who were touched by him, and suddenly laughed boldly, "Isn't it a good deal to sign autographs and pay for the bus? Today, except for the RNG team that my son plays for, I am the only one who

You Xi’an WE team fans. Come on, we’d better see you in the finals!”

…

While Han Yiying and others were enjoying the special treatment of "fans" for the first time, outside the entrance of the Bird's Nest audience, Xia Zhifei and his wife Elisa were guarding two 7- and 8-year-old girls.

He looked around as if waiting for something.

The two beautifully dressed little girls were full of curiosity about everything around them, but they also seemed timidly alienated from the crowded scene.

Sensing the tension between the two of them, Eliza tightened her little hand and smiled at them and said:

"Xiaoyu, Luoluo, don't worry, your favorite brother George will be here in a while."

As soon as they heard "Brother George", the faces of the little girls who were called Xiaoyu and Luoluo by Elisa suddenly relaxed a lot. And the couple who held them tightly, in the past few months of getting along,

He has already given them endless security and happiness with the warmth of family.

Therefore, although they were still in the crowded crowd, the two "parents" used their bodies to support them in a stable new world.

Just as the warmth gradually returned, the four of them suddenly heard a shout from a distance.

"Lao Xia!"

Xia Zhifei looked around and saw a couple waving to them in the crowd.

The waving man was carrying a little boy on his shoulders.

His bright eyes were jumping for joy, and when his eyes met the two little girls held by Xia Zhifei through the crowd, he excitedly danced his hands towards them.

A stacked giant just walked over to meet their attention. As they walked closer, another child who was a few years older appeared from between the couple.

"Lao Xia, Eliza, Xiao Yu and Luo Luo, right?"

"Lao Gao, Mengying, Luoyang and Luo Qi!"

Xia Zhifei and Eliza smiled and greeted the four people who came, then turned to introduce to the two "daughters" beside them:

"Xiaoyu, Luoluo, guess, who is your favorite 'brother George', Luoyang or Luoqi?"

The two little girls looked at Gao Luoyang and Gao Luoqi's faces for a long time. They were immersed in doubts and had long since lost the timid feeling they had just now.

Seeing two pairs of shy eyes staring at him, Gao Luoqi, who had just climbed off his father's shoulders, took out a dinosaur toy from behind and waved it.

"Dinosaur...ho"

Gao Luoyang on the side also smiled and handed over the toy behind his back, but he quietly did not make a sound, which naturally caused the two little girls' attention to turn to Gao Luoqi's face.

"You are 'Brother George'!" Xiaoyu confirmed with excited eyes.

"I'm one year older than you, so I'm your 'Brother George.'" Gao Luoqi raised his chin and said, "No matter what, my brother will protect you from now on!"

Hahahahaha

The jokes between children can easily make adults laugh too. Seeing that the four people they met for the first time got along well, Xia Zhifei immediately felt much more relaxed. Elisa, who had been worried, also felt relieved when she saw the harmony in front of her.

I finally felt relieved.

"Take good care of your two sisters," Gao Wenyuan greeted his two sons.

"Yes, father." Gao Luoqi responded with a military salute.

Gao Wenyuan smiled when he saw it, and explained to Xia Zhifei, "This kid has learned the military etiquette of soldiers since he met the People's Liberation Army."

"It's good. I experienced a vivid patriotism education in advance." Xia Zhifei whispered.

Seeing that he deliberately avoided some topics, Gao Wenyuan lowered his voice and said, "Why, have the adoption procedures for the two children been completed?"

"It was a bit troublesome, so in the end I asked Zimo's Emperor Penguin Foundation for some help." Xia Zhifei explained, "The Emperor Penguin Foundation has a complete legal system, and their legal representatives have solved many problems on their behalf.

.”

"Well, domestic adoptions are quite strict." Gao Wenyuan glanced at the little girl who was shaking with laughter from his son Gao Luoyang, then turned to Eliza and smiled, "What, you two are planning to have a child?

"

Eliza looked at the two "daughters" fondly and said, "I don't plan to have them anymore. We are just going to raise Xiaoyu and Luoluo."

"It's pretty good," Gao Wenyuan nodded, then smiled, "Our two boys like football as well as games, so Rocky asked his brother Zimo for a ticket package for this e-sports competition. But you

Well, if you are not a good football coach, why would you want to take your daughter to watch an e-sports match?"

"Hey, didn't I talk to Zimo a few days ago about some football school matters? It turns out that he was preparing the song for the opening ceremony a few days ago and didn't have time to meet me. Then he changed hands and threw me a set of tickets.

, and then he solved the problem for me after asking me to support him."

Xia Zhifei spread his hands helplessly, but there was no look of helplessness on his face.

Gao Wenyuan didn't care about his reaction. Instead, he was very curious about the topic Xia Zhifei said, "Isn't your football school good? What are you planning to do with Zimo?"

"ε=(′ο｀*))) Well, it's not easy to teach football now. I'm going to ask Zimo for help with my shameless face."

This time, Xia Zhifei really looked helpless.

Regarding his helplessness, Gao Wenyuan was also helpless.

But this topic can only stop there.

Because Gao Wenyuan could not think of any way to solve this old friend's troubles.

As a result, the two people who were suddenly silent formed a huge contrast with the lively scene around them.

After all, today is a carnival day for Chinese e-sports players. The young people gathered in front of the Bird's Nest all had happy smiles on their faces. They were chatting enthusiastically and did not even notice these two unexpected "audiences" in the crowd.

"Hey, when you were playing League of Legends recently, did you meet the big boss's team in the canyon? Doesn't it mean that if you win a game, you will get tickets to the finals of the Coldplay Global Finals?"

"Hey, stop talking. I'm a DOTA player and I applied for a League of Legends account just for this, but I haven't seen it for three days in a row."

"Me too. We all play StarCraft in our dormitory, and we opened a League of Legends account in order to snipe the boss. But we have won several skins, but we have never encountered the boss."

"There are 200,000 people in one server in Ionia. The odds are 200,000 to 3. How can it be so easy to meet a big boss?"

"That's right...Ionia's servers have been full recently, but I saw on Weibo that there were only three groups of lucky people who were lucky enough to meet them, but none of them won." One person clasped his head in frustration, "That was the finals of League of Legends.

It’s an infield ticket, and it also includes food, accommodation, and air tickets.”

There were sighs all around, and everyone also heard a particularly solemn sigh.

Everyone looked around curiously and saw an annoyed guy standing next to several people who looked gloating about his misfortune.

"Guys, let me introduce to you, the person next to us is the 'lucky guy' who is lucky enough to meet the boss."

"Ouch" the crowd immediately gathered around the man, and someone even asked excitedly, "Didn't you say that President Zhou's jungle swordsman and JJ's top laner are very good? If these two stars join forces, you can't beat them.

"

The man was immediately upset, "You know how good Jay Chou and JJ Lin are, but do you know who the other two are besides the boss?"

"Who?"

"The assistant is Miss, WE's substitute assistant. Her Thresh hook is so accurate that you will doubt your life. AD is also the big devil of Smile, teaching you how to be a human being in every minute. Not to mention that the boss, Enchantress and Zed, should be at the level of kings.

The three of them alone can defeat the opponent in the early stage."

"Ah? Then top laner and jungler can't break through?"

"Have you ever seen the half-flesh, wretched AP Kidney trained by Strawberry? Have you seen the half-flesh hungry AP Sword Master trained by ClearLove?" The man smiled bitterly, "Double J combinations are good, but people stand behind them.

It’s a professional player from WE. So, our game was over in less than 20 minutes.”

"Damn it, the boss is too rogue. He's not giving people a way to survive." Everyone was indignant.

"I was a diamond player and was shown off 4 times by the boss in 10 minutes." The man was even more confident. "People who are more handsome and richer than you are not scary, but they can play the game better than you."

, who should I talk to to reason with this?"

Hearing the wailing all around, Gao Wenyuan glanced at Xia Zhifei in surprise. Both of them were very surprised.

How come Ning Zimo still has time to play games when he is preparing the opening song for the Coldplay Global Finals?

Just for a moment, a roaring sound suddenly came from the distance.

“Start checking in for tickets!!!”

"The carnival is about to begin!!!"

The crowd suddenly surged up and slowly moved towards the entrance of the Bird's Nest.

The opening ceremony of the Coldplay Global Finals is about to officially kick off!
