Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

(Brain storage area!)

(Welcome all fans of Daniel Wu and Li Yifei to appreciate this!)

"Heroes unite, glory marches together—the top choice for LOL team battles! See you there!"

"Go WE and IG for the S2 World Championship!"

"High-spec, no lag throughout, no disconnections in a five-man LOL team."

"Brothers side by side, break through the enemy lines! CF Team Tournament registration is now open!"

"Recharge 100 and get 100 free; internet access as low as 3 yuan/hour; overnight access for only 11.9 yuan; play all games all night long."

Jiangsu Province!

Outside the "See You Later" internet cafe.

A young man wearing a navy blue coat stood outside the door, lingering for a long time.

"In 2012... I really... was reborn!"

Looking at the rows of internet cafe advertising banners full of the characteristics of the times, Lin Shu was filled with mixed feelings.

Yes, he was born again.

Who would have thought that just because I was having a bad day at work and went downstairs for a walk to relax, I would be targeted by the "Hundred-Ton King" of the Chinese server and then get hit hard and end up like this?

Normally, he should be very happy to be able to return to his childhood.

Although 2012 was a bit too late in the year, the opportunities that could lead to overnight riches had already been exhausted by those who came before. Starting from scratch had become incredibly difficult, with the challenge skyrocketing to hellish levels.

But he was different. In his previous life, as an e-sports professional, the field he was familiar with was just starting out at this point in time. The future market, which was worth hundreds of billions, still had countless opportunities waiting for him to seize.

Can……

Lin Shu touched the few RMB notes he had left in his pocket and sighed again.

Good news: I've been reborn, back to my eighteen-year-old self.

Bad news: The difficulty has been increased again, and I only have 800 yuan in my pocket!

What can you do with 800 yuan at this point in time?

Eight hundred yuan is a relatively low amount for a college student's monthly living expenses over 12 years.

Not to mention buying a computer that could serve as a means of production to start a business.

This is why Lin Shu came to the internet cafe.

No other reason than it's cheap!

"Whatever, I'll just make the best of it!"

He's never been one to wallow in self-pity. He started with 800 yuan, and he has his own way of playing with 800 yuan!

After composing himself, Lin Shu stepped up the stairs and pushed open the door of the internet cafe called "Never Say Goodbye".

……

"Hello, could you please become a member?"

Upon entering, Lin Shu found the front desk of the internet cafe, took out his ID card, and placed it on the counter in front of the manager.

Welcome!

Upon seeing a customer, the cashier, who had been scrolling through her phone just a second ago, jumped up from her chair, picked up the ID card, compared it to Lin Shu's slightly immature face, and only after confirming that it was indeed him did she stick it on the card reader.

"We have a promotion for new members right now: top up the same amount and get the same amount free!"

"If you spend over 300 yuan at once, you can directly upgrade to a star member of our internet cafe, and the internet access fee in the gaming area is only 2.5 yuan per hour."

"Let's go for 300 then!"

Lin Shu reluctantly pulled out four bills from all his belongings, handing three of them to the front desk as internet top-up.

"Please also get me a cup of instant noodles and two bottles of water!"

I estimate that I'll be spending a lot of time in internet cafes for the foreseeable future, so getting a higher-level membership to reduce my expenses is definitely worthwhile.

"OK!"

The internet cafe manager looked at the clean-dressed young man in front of her with some confusion.

Is your internet addiction that severe?

They can spend 300 yuan on internet fees at once, but when it comes to food and drink, they are only willing to buy the "wall-mounted set" exclusively for internet-addicted teenagers.

However, she didn't say much. Although the internet cafe had reduced internet access fees and was now making more money from drinks and fast food, her boss hadn't set any KPIs for her. So, how much customers wanted to spend was their own business.

All she needs to do is open the card.

After opening the card, Lin Shu put the documents back in his bag and glanced around.

This internet cafe, named "Never Say Goodbye," is quite large, with two floors of operating area and approximately two hundred computers on each floor.

However, even with so many computers, the lobby on the first floor was still completely full.

"Headshot!"

"Go, go, go! Let's start a raid! Let's start with the Stone Golem!"

"Kill Vayne, kill Vayne, I'll kill the AD first!"

Lin Shu walked through the lobby on the first floor and headed towards the second floor where the competition area was located, his eyes occasionally falling on the computer screens of other online players.

CrossFire!

QQ Speed!

League of Legends!

Yes, it was the three internet cafe giants he was familiar with 12 years ago.

"However, in another year or two, we'll reach the era where LOL completely dominates internet cafe computers."

Upon arriving on the second floor, Lin Shu found a private seat near the window that was noticeably less occupied. As for why he didn't use one of the more private corner seats, well, those who know, know.

"Buzz!"

Press the power button, and the unique sound of the computer fan, typical of this era, fills your ears.

I used the disinfectant wipes I carry with me to clean the keyboard, mouse, and headphones.

After entering my ID number and then a string of unique, secret numbers that I had just set at the front desk, the computer finally booted up to the desktop.

Hey!

Hey!

After refreshing the screen twice, Lin Shu did not rush to open the game, but instead opened Kuwo Music Box, which was unusual for him.

Let's play "Heartbeats"!

"I can't figure it out!"

"Is it meant to be this way."

Listening to the soothing music playing in his headphones, Lin Shu finally relaxed and leaned back.

He needs to sort things out first.

Let's sort out our plans after being reborn.

"Now, almost half of the 800 yuan start-up capital has been used up, and we need to solve the problem of food and lodging as soon as possible."

Yes, Lin Shu did not have a home.

Or rather, as an orphan, after leaving the welfare home at the age of eighteen, he had to rely on himself to make everything.

Lin Shu didn't react much to this question.

After all, that's how I got through my previous life too.

"Then let's find a team and play in the competition?"

An idea subconsciously surfaced in Lin Shu's mind.

He walked this path in his past life;

Perhaps it was God who took pity on him; after the devastating loss of both his parents, his body was endowed with a superhuman level of reflexes and dexterity in his hands.

With considerable talent, he played in the CF Hundred Cities League and joined his friends' e-sports team, which mainly consisted of players from the Chenghai 3C game. Later, when League of Legends became popular, he registered as a full-time e-sports player.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu was not very lucky.

He entered the League of Legends scene far too late. He neither built up his initial fanbase by creating videos like those streamers, nor did he manage to reach the top as a professional player and win one or two championships.

Unable to reach the high-end or the low-end, he eventually took on the job of club manager and team coach, relying on his years of e-sports experience.

"No, that won't work. There's no need for me to join a professional team right now."

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Lin Shu quickly abandoned it.

If it's just a matter of solving the problem of food and lodging, then with my current advanced understanding of the game and my personal skills, finding a League of Legends team to stay with is not a problem at all.

However, there is currently no professional League of Legends in China. Apart from WE and IG, which are in slightly better shape, most domestic teams mainly participate in small-scale tournaments. Joining them is not a question of how much the salary will be, or even whether the salary will be paid on time.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to waste that time.

Now the question is, how can you turn the tide with 800 yuan?

Waiting online, very anxious!
