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

As the live stream chat was flooded with comments, the train arrival information on the electronic screen briefly appeared.

Train G1347, from Xiangcheng to Shanghai, has arrived.

During the wait, Su Man made sure the show didn't fall into a slump.

The camera was pointed towards the exit, but the microphone was still in her hand. The director reminded her through her earpiece that she still needed to explain the program's background to the audience.

This is also a basic skill that a live variety show host should have; you can't keep your mouth shut while waiting for the guests.

Su Man turned slightly to the side, allowing the camera to capture the situation at the exit while also showing her face to the audience:

"Dear viewers, 'Next Stop, Pro!' is China's first variety show focusing on the selection and training of young esports players. It is co-produced by Leading Esports, Tencent Games, and Huya Live, and sponsored by XX Beverage and Anta."

"Since the program opened for registration, 3701 contestants nationwide have met the registration requirements and filled out the registration form."

"Finally, after a two-week selection process, we eliminated 3671 people, leaving only 30 new players who met the professional requirements and were qualified to participate in youth training."

How much?

[Out of more than three thousand people, only thirty were found?]

My God, the acceptance rate is less than 10%? My college acceptance rate was over 30%.

[Thirty percent? The guy upstairs is talking about the cutoff score for regular undergraduate programs, right? If it's for top-tier universities, it's actually only around 1.5%.]

[You can't calculate it that way. You have to understand that these three thousand-plus people were already screened by the production team based on their skill level and age when the application criteria were set.]

Therefore, strictly speaking, the selection rate of esports players should be compared to the total number of players in the Chinese server?

[Not all of them, after all, not everyone wants to play professionally. Let's take one-tenth of the tens of millions of players in the Chinese server.]

[One million for thirty odds...that's pretty much real life.]

The harsh reality of the selection process was laid bare, and the chat in the live stream visibly slowed down for a few seconds.

Just then.

A flow of people began to pour out of the turnstiles.

The staff member silently held up the sign representing the program team.

Su Man's gaze swept across the crowd, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly locked onto the target she was looking for.

To be precise, they were three young people pulling suitcases, looking around.

The young man at the front was wearing a faded black hoodie, without a hood, and his hair was a bit messy. He had a backpack slung over his shoulder and a black laptop bag in his hand. When he reached the gate and swiped his card to exit, he paused for a moment, looked around, and then his gaze locked onto the program team sign in Su Man's hand. He raised his hand as a greeting.

"Hey, hey...there it is, there it is."

At the main entrance, Luo Yu shouted excitedly to the two people behind him, "The production crew! I saw the production crew's sign!"

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ye called out and quickly followed.

At the very back of the gate stood Zhao Yicheng, the most robust of them all.

The three of them were not from the same place, but because the reporting time was the latest, the production team specially bought them the same train for easier management, and they eventually met up at each stop along the way.

"Hello, host!"

Three young men came to their side, and to everyone's surprise, Zhao Yicheng, who was burly but seemed taciturn, spoke first.

"..."

(Addendum: I'm not abandoning this project; I'll take my time writing and don't need to maintain perfect attendance.)

(Sorry, I really can't write anymore.)

(Let's take a break for a while and sort out the outline.)

(The author overestimated himself, because he had already written a story about training the e-sports circle and training the league next door. In fact, it was very difficult to innovate many plots in this book, especially after the third month, when writing 4,000 words a day felt like a death sentence.)

(Of course, the new regulations for tomatoes were also the final straw that broke the camel's back.)

(Originally, he thought that writing 4,000 words a day would earn him a couple hundred yuan, and with the full attendance bonus and the Spark Program, it wouldn't be a problem to keep writing like this. But after he made this change, starting in September, this book could no longer receive the full attendance bonus or the Spark Program's support funds, which resulted in a difference of more than two thousand yuan.)

(I don't want to make up other reasons to deceive everyone. I am a full-time author, not a part-time one. Writing books is my source of income. Now that it has been cut off, and I can no longer update frequently, and I have a two-year-old child to support, the income from this book will definitely not be enough to support the author.)

(Anyway, I haven't had perfect attendance anymore, and I haven't taken a single day off since I started writing. I'll just take my time writing, whatever comes to mind. Consider this a long vacation for me.)
