You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 14 Is this the level?

The feast that my mother had carefully prepared was neatly laid out on the dining table, wafting with fragrance.

But no one wanted to eat at this moment.

My mother was a little confused for a moment when she heard Mingkai's words.

No, wasn't she the one who invited her nephew to help? How come he ended up standing on the opposite side while helping?

Dad figured out the key to the matter and asked, "It seems Mingjing is very talented?"

"Very high!" Mingkai nodded. "It's no exaggeration to say that it's taller than me!"

Of course, there was no flattery in what the factory director said.

Just the performance of going from zero to master in this month has surpassed almost everyone!

If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the number one in the country, and maybe even within half a year.

Of course, being strong in ranking does not mean being strong in competition. Mingkai certainly understands this. Not all the previous number one players in the Korean server have won championships. For professional players, ranking points usually mean nothing.

But the only thing that is certain is that those who rank high will definitely not have a low lower limit.

As long as my cousin polishes himself well, he will definitely be a top-notch performer!
If you can fully realize your talent, then winning the league championship is not a luxury!

The parents looked at each other, both of them with surprise in their eyes.

The couple really didn't expect that their son was not only talented in studying, but also had such top-notch talent in gaming.

If he is better than his cousin, wouldn't he be able to succeed like his brother and earn tens of millions a year?
"We don't object to Mingjing playing professionally," Mom thought for a moment and said, "but at this critical juncture, if we ask him to give up his studies, we won't feel at ease."

Burning one's boats and taking a gamble is a helpless act that only people who are at the end of their rope would do.

Mingkai was in a situation where if he didn't play professionally he would have to pack up and prepare to go to the factory, so he chose to believe in his talent and went to Shanghai alone. Fortunately, he made a name for himself in the world.

But Mingjing was young and smart, and he had plenty of opportunities to go around the world, so there was no need for him to give up his studies.

The mother never expected that she would be so troubled because her son was too outstanding.

At this moment, his son's voice rang in his ears: "Actually, you don't have to give up your studies."

The mother looked up and saw that her son had walked out of the room.

"Whether it's gaming or studying, there's not much pressure on me." Ming Jing's tone was full of confidence. "Being a professional player is just a matter of convenience."

?

Now it was the turn of my parents and cousin to be confused.

What do you mean?
Is this a part-time job?

Ming Jing remained composed, clearly genuinely thinking so. He glanced at Ming Kai and asked, "Kai Guo, if I really want to become a professional, could you help me?"

"Of course, we're all family!" Mingkai said with a smile, "The LPL Youth Training Camp will open in a few days. If you're willing to go, I should be able to give you a spot there."

"Youth training?"

"Don't think youth training isn't enough!" Mingkai quickly added, "The LPL is really taking youth training seriously these days!"

Mingkai thought everyone was knowledgeable, so he immediately explained the existence of the youth training camp in detail.

If it were a few years ago, LPL youth training would have been ignored.

After all, in the environment at that time, clubs generally used their own trials to find new players and optimize the team.

Generally, good seedlings are snatched up by clubs in advance, and only those who are unwanted will go through the official youth training system. However, those who are not particularly talented will not be very good even after training.

But this year, it’s different.

With two championships in hand and being the best in the world, LPL naturally began to consider its future survival, so new regulations came into being.

Under the new regulations, each club only has two spots to sign new players each year!
Rookies refer to new players who have never played in the LPL.

If the quota is full, no matter how good the new talent is, he must be sent to the youth training camp!

Of course, the newcomers sent to the youth training camp in the name of the club will still have the first-mover advantage in signing contracts, and can be the first to buy back the players.

Under normal circumstances, EDG will usually pick out a few good seedlings from its own youth training and send them to the youth training camp for training.

But if Mingjing comes, the factory manager can of course openly give Mingjing a shortcut and arrange a place for him.

The youth training club will have second-team coaches from major clubs to observe and teach, as well as a scientific and systematic training system. Those newcomers who are full of qualifying banditry will often undergo qualitative changes after a few rounds of training.

And the most important thing is that you can enter the youth training camp at the age of 16, and the time is in July and August during the summer vacation. For Ming Jing, a freshman in high school, the youth training camp is the most suitable place for him, and he can indeed achieve both learning and career.

"July or August? That's perfect." Ming Jing smiled. "The next math competition is on the first weekend of September. I'll go to the youth training camp in July or August, and then come back after the camp. It'll be just right for me to participate in the math league, so I can enjoy both."

After hearing Mingjing's bold plan, his parents and cousin were all scratching their heads.

So you want to take the entrance exam for Peking University and play professionally at the same time?

Is this really something humans can do?

"Whether we can do it or not, we will know when the time comes."

Ming Jing, on the other hand, was the most confident. He continued, "How about this? Just wait and see how I perform in today's competition. If I can get into the top ten, you'll let me join the youth training program. How about that?"

Ming Jing continued, crossing his arms, "If I don't make the test, I'll just focus on preparing for the competition and get into Peking University first."

Get into Peking University first before you talk about this nonsense.
Mingkai felt a little confused after hearing this, but of course he had no right to decide, so he just looked at his uncle and aunt beside him.

My mother was also thinking about it at this time.

Theoretically speaking, Mingjing's ability in mathematics competitions is actually a bit uncertain, and he would not be able to make it into the top ten.

After all, HUB Province is an absolute educational powerhouse with countless top middle schools, and Hubei's strength is mathematics.

According to previous years, of the 60 mathematics students who entered the national training team and were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, Hubei province alone could account for 7-10 of them.

Being able to rank in the top ten in the HUB province means that one is already on the level of being admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. This is the level that both parents expect. Even for Mingjing, this is a definite improvement.

"Okay, I agree." Mom didn't hesitate at this moment and said directly: "As long as you can get into the top ten, I don't care what you do."

As parents, we must consider our son’s future and find the most suitable path for him from the perspective of someone who has experienced it.

But through today's conversation, the mother suddenly felt that she didn't seem to know her son well enough.

If Mingjing can really improve while playing games, then what else can she say?

Ming Jing smiled and nodded, "Then let's eat. Next we'll just wait for the results."

"Okay, okay, let's eat." Mom smiled and hurried back to the kitchen to serve the rice.

After finishing his meal, his cousin Mingkai hurried off. That evening, he contacted Mingjing on WeChat and asked for photos of both sides of his ID card, apparently to prepare for Mingjing's youth training program. Mingkai didn't know how Mingjing had performed in the competition, but seeing his cousin's confidence, he figured he'd be fine.

The parents were inexplicably nervous because they knew that their baby son was at a critical juncture in his life.

What kind of life my son will live in the future may depend on the results of this exam.

Time passed quickly and it was the next afternoon.

After much anticipation, the official HUB Provincial Mathematics Competition finally released an announcement showing the test results of this provincial preliminary round.

Mingjing's family didn't even need to check, as the head teacher Zheng Hu took the lead in posting the entire ranking in the class group and started waving flags to celebrate!
In this HUB provincial preliminaries, although the first place was won by Kuang Xin, a senior student from Huanggang Middle School, the performance of the No. 1 High School Affiliated to South China Normal University was equally outstanding, taking up all the places from second to seventh!
Among them, the three high school students, Chen Tianxiang ranked third, Wang Hao ranked fourth, and Ming Jing ranked seventh, all came from the Dacheng class of the No. 1 Affiliated High School of South China Normal University, and are the most eye-catching in the ranking.

Passed! And ranked seventh!

Both parents widened their eyes at this moment.

This is a great test score, right?

Could it be that Mingjing really has an idea in mind?
This news was quickly passed on to Mingkai by Mingjing.

The factory manager couldn't help but marvel at the exaggerated results his cousin had achieved.

It’s hard to imagine that I took this test while playing games.

How did this brain grow?

He sent back a thumbs-up emoticon, and then immediately made another phone call.

"Abu," Mingkai asked, "Have you finished what I asked you to do yesterday?"

"That's not easy!" Abu said helplessly. "We finalized the list of players to send to the youth training camp a week ago, and you suddenly tell me you want to squeeze someone in. What am I supposed to do? How talented is this person that you'd come all the way to me?"

Although Mingkai owns shares in EDG and is considered half of the management, he actually rarely interferes in EDG's business.

It is a little difficult for Abramovich to understand why people are forced to join through the back door like this.

Mingkai just smiled after hearing this and said, "This person is my cousin."

"My cousin, no wonder they all have the last name Ming." Abu's tone seemed to be hesitant, "Alright then."

Ming Jing listened to this and guessed that Abu had misunderstood, so he immediately said, "Don't overthink it. He is really talented. Giving him a spot will definitely not be a mistake."

"Very talented?" Abu frowned slightly. "How talented? Is his rank very high?"

"His rank isn't very high, but that's not important." It was a long story, too complex for Mingkai to explain in a single sentence. But after some thought, he simply said, "Let's put it this way. If we can keep hold of this kid, then EDG might not have to worry about the next few years."

Judging from the talent his cousin has shown so far, Mingkai can only describe him as the only one in the world.

To be honest, Mingkai didn't know how tall his cousin would grow.

Perhaps out of trust in his cousin, Mingkai always felt that his cousin might very well lead EDG to a new peak!

Hearing that his old friend might not be joking, Abu immediately agreed: "Okay, then I'll go make arrangements for him."

Although Abramovich found it difficult to kick someone out of the youth training group at short notice, he could still do it as long as he was determined.

The salary was doubled, and it was promised that an LDL signing resource would be provided next year, giving him a chance to start for the second team and make mistakes.

The price is actually not small, but there is no other way in order to do things decently.

Abu sighed, feeling a little helpless.

Now we can only hope that what Mingkai said is true.

That very night, Mingjing officially received the news on his mobile phone.

[2020 League of Legends Youth Training Camp: Congratulations on securing a place in the youth training camp. Please register at the League of Legends Professional Youth Training Base, Alpha Creative Park Complex, No. 4, Guannanyuan 4th Road, Guandong Street, Jiangxia District, WH City, HUB Province, with your personal ID and nucleic acid test report before 10:00 am on July 2nd.]

May 7th, 2: a.m.

Ming Jing stood alone in front of the youth training base, wearing a mask and carrying a backpack, and checked the address on his mobile phone.

Living in Wuhan has some advantages. The youth training camp is located in Optics Valley. It takes Mingjing less than 20 minutes to get there by Didi from home, so he doesn't need to trouble his father to pick him up today. He can come by himself.

The youth training base in front of him was an old building that was probably converted from an old company building. There were no e-sports elements in its appearance. Only the youth training camp poster on the glass door at the entrance could make Ming Jing sure that he had come to the right place.

After pushing the door open, I saw that there were already quite a few people standing in the hall. Some of them looked listless, probably because they got up too early and had no energy.
Ming Jing looked left and right before he saw his cousin in the corner of the hall and walked over quickly.

My cousin was carrying a bag today, but I don’t know what was in it.

Mingkai and a few others were standing in the corner of the hall. Their eyes were looking around, and then they quickly fixed their gaze on Mingjing who had just entered.

Ming Jing is 183cm tall, with a straight body and a straight back, making him easy to spot in the crowd.

"We're here." Mingkai smiled and patted Mingjing's shoulder. "Let's go and report in."

Abu looked at the young man walking towards him in the distance, and for a moment he couldn't help but look him up and down.

Is this the future of EDG that Mingkai talked about?

We'll have to see what level he is at.
The youth training camp was just restructured this year, and it is a point of concern for the LPL. After all, only by doing a good job in youth training can there be a future. Therefore, this time Abu was specially found as the head coach of the youth training camp. All major matters in the camp need to be reviewed by him, and he has plenty of time to observe.

Mingjing followed Mingkai to the staff side and submitted his ID card and test report as required.

"Mingjing, right?" The staff member confirmed that it was correct, and then quickly found the corresponding ID card from the side and returned it together with all the previous items.

Ming Jing glanced at his ID card. From top to bottom, the card read "2020 League of Legends Youth Training Camp", a one-inch photo of himself, and a code name "AD20".

"AD20?" Ming Jing asked, "What does this mean?"

"Hmm" the staff member hesitated, not knowing what to say.

What does this mean? Can't you count it?
Abu looked at the order of AD20 and was full of questions.

No, this is the level? Can this be the future of EDG?
