We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 3 Seventeen Years Old, Afraid of Talent Bullying

"Name?"

"Xu Xinghe."

"age?"

"Sixteen, and seventeen in two months."

"Rank?"

"Telecom District 1 Transcendent Master 369 points."

"Want a tryout position?"

"Jungle."

…………

Su Xiaoluo put down the paper in his hand that could barely be called a resume, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

He glanced at the boy in front of him.

He is not short, but very thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Her hair was a little messy, and her calm black eyes looked at him with a hint of expectation.

He was wearing a thin shirt that didn't fit him well. Although the originally white clothes had been washed very clean, they had turned a little yellow due to long-term use.

He seemed a little uncomfortable sitting on the gaming chair, his two skinny arms placed helplessly on both sides of his body, and dark blue blood vessels could be faintly seen under his pale and somewhat sickly skin.

Su Xiaoluo had an even bigger headache.

He knocked on the table and shouted:
"Ge Yan!"

"Hey? Luo Ge, what's wrong?"

A voice that could be described as flattering was heard from behind the sickly young man.

The chubby Ge Yan came over wearing an open IG team uniform.

Su Xiaoluo hesitated to speak, and casually took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the boy in front of him.

"Xu Xinghe, right? Don't worry, wait outside for a moment. I'll come find you when I've thought it over."

Xu Xinghe obediently took the candy, nodded and walked out of the room.

"Thank you, brother."

His voice was unexpectedly pleasant, and although he tried to remain calm, one could still hear his nervousness.

Su Xiaoluo looked at the boy's receding back and then looked away.

He looked at Ge Yan in front of him and clicked his tongue.

"…Why did you bring this child in here?"

Ge Yan touched his head, his chubby face full of smiles.

"He's been hanging around outside our club for several days. When I came back last night at midnight, I saw he was still there, so I asked him about it."

"Guess what? This kid actually wants a tryout."

"I played two or three games with him yesterday, and he dominated the Master tier every time. He seems to have some potential."

"I figured I had nothing to do, so I brought him up here."

"What do you say, Luo Ge, give him a chance?"

Ge Yan rubbed his hands expectantly.

Su Xiaoluo sighed.

"But the problem is that we don't lack players right now."

The time now is the summer of 2019.

IG, which just helped LPL win its first championship last year, has become the starting point for the dreams of countless new players.

Various outstanding newcomers emerge in an endless stream, and IG’s youth training this year has already been filled up.

Moreover, IG just lost to TL in an upset and was eliminated from MSI.

The entire IG atmosphere was very depressing, and Su Xiaoluo was in a bad mood as well.

As he said this he unfolded the crumpled paper.

"And look, he wrote the basic information."

"What's that? I'm afraid they're just trying to get free food and drinks at IG."

Ge Yan took the paper and at a glance he saw the expression of the old man on the subway phone.

I first played League of Legends a week ago, and within three days I reached Master. My win rate remains above 76%. I'm proficient in all jungle positions and am good at all jungle heroes. Give me a chance, and I won't let you down.

Su Xiaoluo couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ge Yan also revealing his painful mask.
"Look, is this something a normal person could write?"

"Not to mention how exaggerated it is to defeat a Transcendent Master in three days, I believe you if you say he has that ability."

"But he first encountered League of Legends a week ago? How many students in this country haven't encountered it these days? Even if they haven't played it, they've probably heard of it."

"Isn't this just that...whoa...grandstanding?"

"What he said later is even more ridiculous. Even if his information is true, he's just a master. How can he dare to say that he's proficient in all jungle positions? This is really too arrogant."

Ge Yan frowned.

Although they had not known each other for long, he did not think that the somewhat arrogant child was a liar.

Could it be that I was deceived by the child's harmless appearance?

Even he couldn't help but cover his face after reading this resume.

Kid, you have the ability, but this resume is so fake.

I think IG will be fine. You are already qualified to be a master. It will be easy for me to use my relationship to get you in. IG is a big company anyway.

But don't write your resume so perfunctorily.

"How about it? Do you still want me to give him a chance?"

Su Xiaoluo picked up the water glass on the table and asked with a smile.

"...Sorry to bother you, Luo Ge."

Ge Yan's voice was a little low.

Su Xiaoluo:?

He asked again with a frown, uncertain.

"Wait, I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"

Ge Yan lowered his head.

“…Give him a chance.”

Su Xiaoluo rubbed his arms and spoke after a long time.

"What's the reason?"

"That child is really pitiful, Luo Ge, you can see that, right?"

"His clothes are almost worn out. Where does he get the money to buy or rent an account? He shouldn't be cheating."

"A youth training program doesn't pay much anyway. The only benefit is that it provides food and accommodation."

"One more pair of chopsticks is nothing to us IG."

"If it doesn't work out, I'll pay his salary then."

"I've been away for several days and my family doesn't care..."

Su Xiaoluo couldn't bear to listen anymore.

"Stop, I said stop!"

"If you say so, then I have no objection. It's your business if you want to be kind. Anyway, there are many people who have been eating and drinking for free in IG over the years, so one more will not matter. But I want to ask you a question."

It really doesn't matter to Su Xiaoluo.

IG has Prince Wang as its backer and is considered wealthy in the club.

In the early days, it was very irregular. Many people came to IG under the guise of fans, and then ended up staying there.

When Prince Wang is in a good mood, he will even assign a job to someone directly.

One more person really doesn't matter now.

Don't use this extra expense to insult Prince Wang's pocket money.

Ge Yan's face lit up with joy and he nodded quickly.

"Brother Luo, you say."

"Do you believe him that much?"

Ge Yan was silent, then shook his head.

"Do not."

He actually didn't believe it either.

Although she is really good at playing Nidalee, there is no problem in her going out to be a substitute.

But he could tell that the kid probably had nowhere else to go.

I have been wandering outside for several days and no one is looking for me.

I'm afraid there are some big problems at home.

If you don’t have the ability, then forget it.

Although Ge Yan is sometimes a little silly, he is indeed kind.

And for some reason, he always felt something strange about that child...

Friendliness?
If you can save him, then save him.

"You... forget it."

Su Xiaoluo hesitated to speak and sighed.

"Go and ask him to come in."

After a while, Xu Xinghe stood in front of Su Xiaoluo again. Su Xiaoluo took out two standard contracts and handed them to him.

"Here, a youth training contract, two years."

"The monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, with food and accommodation provided. Don't leave the club unless necessary. If you do need to leave, you must report it. Is that clear?"

Xu Xinghe nodded and carefully took the contract.

He reads quickly.

Su Xiaoluo didn't urge him, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"I see."

Xu Xinghe picked up the pen on the table and solemnly signed his name.

From now on, he is a member of IG.

Su Xiaoluo put away one of the contracts without even looking at it and pushed the other one to him.

He raised a barely perceptible smile on his face and spoke softly.

"Welcome aboard, IG."

Xu Xinghe didn't know how to respond.

He took the contract and nodded awkwardly.

Show a clean smile.

"..."

Su Xiaoluo was shaken by his smile and coughed:
"Xiao Li, take him to pick up the team uniforms. If he wants a dormitory, he can stay in the youth training dormitory. Is there any room there?"

Assistant Xiao Li, who had been standing by, was a little embarrassed:

"Brother Luo, the youth training camp is full..."

"It's okay, then live with me."

Ge Yan patted his chest.

Although he retired in March last year, Prince Wang is a nostalgic person.

Even though Ge Yan has retired, his room is still reserved in the IG club. Naturally, Ge Yan has not moved out yet and will come back to stay for a few days from time to time.

Su Xiaoluo didn't say anything more, just waved his hand.

It was not until now that Xu Xinghe realized what had happened. He hesitated for a moment and then asked:
"Don't you need a tryout?"

Su Xiaoluo:?

Ge Yan: ...

The two of them looked at each other unconsciously, their expressions somewhat subtle.

This kid... is a bit naive.

The contract has been signed, and you ask me if I need a tryout?
Get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, right?

Su Xiaoluo didn't believe it at all, so naturally she wouldn't waste time watching his tryout.

But he certainly couldn't say that directly, at least he had to leave the child some pants.

"No, I'm very optimistic about your potential."

He made an expression that said "the organization is very optimistic about you" and patted Xu Xinghe on the shoulder.

Xu Xinghe seemed a little flattered.

Before leaving with Ge Yan and Xiao Li, he bowed solemnly to Su Xiaoluo, which made Su Xiaoluo stunned for a moment.

Su Xiaoluo came to her senses only after watching the door close.

"Tsk..."

In the office where he was alone, a click of the tongue, which seemed to indicate some dissatisfaction, was heard.

With Ge Yan's help, Xu Xinghe was quickly settled.

After thanking Ge Yan once again, Xu Xinghe, who was lying on his bed, put away his somewhat hypocritical smile and muttered to himself expressionlessly:

"It seems... not so bad?"

Three months ago, he bound something called [Perfect Player Simulation].

Time and again, he simulated the so-called career of a professional player, obtaining all kinds of food, drinks, and so-called "talents" from it.

Three months later, he had unlocked all the achievements and completed the so-called [Perfect Player Simulation].

And that thing has been uninstalled.

But the talent is real.

It took him only three days to reach the Grandmaster level.

The funding chain of the orphanage that raised him is about to break, and the director is worried every day.

Xu Xinghe, who had not received much education, thought about it and decided to embark on the path of the simulator in order to repay the orphanage that raised him for many years.

Becoming a professional player that he actually doesn't know much about.

But he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Because in the simulation, Su Xiaoluo appears as a villain most of the time.

As a child who has lived in an orphanage for many years, Xu Xinghe is actually not simple.

Being harmless is just his disguise. He is very good at protecting himself and taking advantage of other people's sympathy for him.

Indifference is his underlying character.

In fact, before joining the IG club, he used some information in the simulator to make a lot of arrangements and set up his own personality and career path.

Today is one of his carefully planned appearances.

In fact, he doesn't care about being rejected.

Because his purpose was to attract the attention of the NPC named [Su Xiaoluo].

Because only in this way can he quickly rise to the first team.

However, none of these arrangements were used.

——Because he gave up.

Reality is not a simulation, it is not black or white.

Su Xiaoluo and Ge Yan are not NPCs either.

He was very surprised that Ge Yan was willing to bring him here today, because he had really criticized Ge Yan severely yesterday.

He wrote his basic information very vaguely, and Su Xiaoluo didn't care.

Just like that, you got into IG?
Even though he was sleeping on a soft and fragrant bed, Xu Xinghe still didn't feel anything real.

He opened his panel again.

With the end of the [Perfect Player Simulation], the simulation function naturally became invalid, leaving only [Achievements] and [Panel].

【User:Xu Xinghe】

【Age: 17】

[Professional ID: None]

[Physical fitness: 43 (You suffer from some congenital disease)]

[Reaction speed: 100 (human limit)]

[Opportunity Sense: 90 (You are very good at seizing opportunities)]

[Competition Experience: 10 (You have almost no competition experience)]

[Jungle area planning: 50 (mediocre third-rate level)]

[Operation level: 90 (You can complete most common operations)]

[Blue Talent: Leadership]: Your command will be more convincing to your teammates, and the team coordination will be greatly improved.
[Golden Talent: Light of Salvation]: The worse the team's current situation is, the faster you grow.

[Golden Talent: Human Limit]: Your reaction speed has reached the human limit
[Purple Talent: Keen Sense of Smell]: You can keenly perceive most possible opportunities
Ignoring the somewhat extreme panel and the evaluation of congenital disease, Xu Xinghe smiled with relief.

He has dozens of talents like the ones mentioned above.

However, due to physical limitations, those talents have not been unlocked.

After all, it is very difficult to stay focused when your health is poor.

It's normal that he can't use any skills. He needs to exercise well.

But just the current panel is enough to make Xu Xinghe feel at ease.

Moreover, as long as you complete the achievements, you will be able to improve your physical fitness quickly, and then you will quickly unlock more talents.

He has unlocked it countless times in the simulator, but this time it is real.

What about congenital diseases?
Xu Xinghe was neither surprised nor worried.

There must be a reason why he was abandoned. Congenital disease was one of his guesses, and the panel just helped him confirm it.

This is also the reason why he has never been adopted despite his cute appearance.

He doesn't care about his biological parents.

No matter whether they were alive or dead, Xu Xinghe had already considered them dead.

After the achievement is completed, the achievement point mall will be opened.

By then, it will not be difficult to improve your physical fitness or even restore your health.

Although it’s not small.

"……never mind."

Xu Xinghe no longer thought about it and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Joining IG was so smooth that he changed his original plan of speedrunning the World Championship for two years and then retiring to make money.

He wanted something exciting.

Winning the championship right after debut...how about that?
