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

Chapter 5 If Nothing Works, Peking University Will Do It

High school students’ weekends are always short. Even during the recent special period when they have two days off on weekends, they are still fleeting due to gaming.

At 8 a.m. on June 1, 2020, Mingjing, wearing a mask, got out of his father's car and stood in the designated area at the school gate, waiting to be inspected in batches to enter the school.

Everything is prioritized with students’ safety. To avoid crowds, students from the three grades enter the school at different times. The first-year high school students will enter the school after the second and third-year high school students, between 8:00 and 8:30.

A few minutes later, Wang Hao came trotting over with his schoolbag on his back. He started chatting about games. "Holy crap, wasn't my last game last night ridiculously awesome?"

"You're an elementary school student, right? You can talk for a week if you take time to play a game." Ming Jing was a little helpless, but still nodded: "But it's really not bad."

The two of them played a lot over the weekend, nearly twenty games in two days, and their winning rate was over 90%!

Even Ming Jing was promoted directly from level three to level ten, and the level 30 ranking is just around the corner.

And strangely enough, the more they fought, the easier it became for them to fight.

In the last game last night, Wang Hao, who was ordered by his mother to sleep and countdown to death, showed his prowess. He cooperated with Ming Jing to break through the opponent in the laning phase, and then continued to abuse the opponent all the way, pushing the team to the ground in 18 minutes and getting off the machine perfectly.

"But you're not bad either." Wang Hao patted Ming Jing's shoulder. "Learn more from me, and I guarantee you'll grow quickly!"

The two can fight more and more easily, of course not because their opponents are getting weaker. Their winning rate is so high, their opponents should be getting stronger.

The main reason is that Mingjing's growth rate is too exaggerated, far faster than his opponent's growth rate.

Ming Jing smiled and said, "It's okay. I think this game suits me."

"That's perfect for you. Just practice more and go professional." Wang Hao couldn't help but complain.

He now truly believed that with Mingjing's talent, if the game intensity was higher, it should not be a problem for him to reach the King level and reach the threshold of the professional level.

Of course, Wang Hao was just joking.

With Mingjing's mathematical talent, if he just wants to be a professional player who has just reached the threshold, it is obviously better for him to go to school honestly. After all, he is guaranteed to be a top 5 seedling.

But he didn't expect that Ming Jing actually took his words to heart. He said thoughtfully, "If you want to play professionally, what level do you need to reach?"

This weekend, in addition to playing games, Ming Jing also took the opportunity to check out the ongoing MSC Mid-Season Cup.

According to Wang Hao, this Mid-Season Cup was a temporary competition held during this special period. Only Chinese and Korean teams competed against each other, and its value was not as good as the normal MSI.

But then again, China and South Korea are currently the two strongest regions, and if the teams from both sides fight each other, the intensity will actually be much higher than in previous MSIs.

In the game on Sunday afternoon, two teams from the Chinese LPL, FPX and TES, met in the finals, and TES won the championship with a score of 3 to 1.

And Mingjing finally knew who A Shui was.

Wang Hao was startled and immediately asked, "Are you serious?"

"No, just ask."

"That's hard to say." Wang Hao thought for a moment and said, "If it's just youth training, a Masters score of 300-500 is enough to get in. I can do that with some effort. But if I want to start for a first-team, starting at King of Champions in the Korean server would probably require over a thousand King of Champions points to reach the top of the Canyon of Heroes in the Chinese server. And that's just the starting point. People don't even need it."

The professional league has always been a hurdle at each level. From high-scoring passers-by, youth training, second team, to the final team, there is a huge gap at almost every level.

And even if he starts in a team, there is still a huge gap between him and the top players of the top team.

After all, e-sports has always been a game between geniuses. Even if the threshold for starting for a strong team is sky-high, for those geniuses in the clouds, it is just a matter of moving their feet.

As long as you're good enough, even powerful team owners will scramble to sign you, like the Ah Shui that Wang Hao calls him every day. Even if you're too old to play, it doesn't matter. They'll just give you a few million to support you for a year and then snatch you up. "A 1,000-point King of Glory seems difficult," Ming Jing said thoughtfully.

Wang Hao looked at Ming Jing's expression and of course understood what he was thinking. He quickly advised, "Don't do that. You should secure your place in the National Group Examination first. Once you're admitted to Peking University, you can do whatever you want."

The students in the Chengda class of the No. 1 High School Affiliated to East China Normal University are aiming to be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, especially the good seedlings like Wang Haomingjing. They only need to pass the provincial mathematics preliminaries in June and the National High School Mathematics League in September to participate in the National Middle School Mathematics Winter Camp, also known as CMO, at the end of November.

Those who rank in the top 60 in CMO can enter the national training team and will also be eligible for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

It is now officially June, and there is less than a month left until the provincial preliminaries on the 29th of the month. Wang Hao does not want to cause his friend to lose the competition because of his own reasons.

Ming Jing was calm: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We've known each other for almost a year, don't you know me well?"

Wang Hao thought about it.

I have to say, even though Ming Jing seems to be lazy and doesn't study every day, his grades have indeed never dropped. In fact, they have improved a lot after he came back from a leave of absence, and he has firmly maintained his position at the top of the grade!
You know, it is very difficult for students with special talents in competitions to compare their total scores with those non-competitive all-round science geniuses.

Wang Hao thought about it and said, "But no matter what, you're only sixteen now. The minimum age for the LPL professional league is 17, so you're not even old enough. You can participate in the World Championship at 16, but you can't just skip the LPL and go straight to Worlds, right? Do you have connections with a club?"

After hearing this, Ming Jing showed a regretful expression on his face: "Is that so?"

Seeing this expression, Wang Hao thought to himself, you kid really wants to become a professional player!
But having said this, Wang Hao had nothing more to say. At this time, the teacher in front was already calling the students in Dacheng's class to go over for temperature measurement. Everyone immediately followed and entered the school according to the procedure.

While walking, Ming Jing was still thinking in his mind.

Of course he would not give up on his studies; this was his bottom line and his way out. All his actions were done without affecting his grades.

But he also wants to try League of Legends.

Although he had only played this game for two days, it was the only thing that truly interested him at the moment.

He also knows that he is very suitable for this game and has high talent.

But how high is it? Who is higher than it? Is it one in a hundred, one in ten thousand, or the best in the world? These are all questions.

So he wanted to give it a try.

Even a toad has to jump out of the well to see how high the sky is.

Even a real dragon has to personally measure the size of the world before it can roam freely in it.

So, let’s get some points first.

As long as your score is high enough, people will naturally come to you.

Don’t let yourself fail to reach the King level, that would be a laughing stock. Just make do with getting into Peking University.

With the temperature measurement results correct, the students in the Dacheng class were finally able to enter the classroom. Without any preparation time, the part-time math teacher walked quickly into the classroom.

"Here are the papers you all did during last Friday's evening study session. Five of you got full marks, which is pretty good."

Ming Jing also quickly adjusted his state. Thoughts unrelated to mathematics quickly disappeared from his mind and he entered a learning state.
