Rise

Time has passed from November to December.

The mood of autumn turns from deep to thick.

The air gradually took on a chilly chill.

Early winter is approaching. In the early morning, the trees on both sides of the street begin to have a hint of white frost. Birds have also built their nests early and begun preparing for the winter.

For high school students who are still in school in Shanghai, getting up to go to school every morning, waking up from the bed and leaving the warm and comfortable quilt is an arduous battle.

On weekends, fewer people come out to play.

The popularity of Internet cafes has decreased a lot. On weekends, more students just stay at home, get into bed and lie down comfortably. They use their mobile phones or tablets to watch Korean and American dramas, watch movies, or go to major live broadcasts. Check out the game live broadcasts of other anchors on the platform.

Do you rank yourself?

What kind of international joke are you kidding? The weather is so cold that people's fingers are going to freeze. The ADC can basically just let it happen and everything depends on God's will. What the hell do you dare to play ranked?

Well, young man, you are very strong and your courage is admirable.

Tell me your ID and I'll block you and report it first. Damn it, anyone who feels bad and forces you to be ranked and harms society at this time should be hanged and beaten to death!

There are also many League of Legends national server players. In addition to watching the live broadcast, they also go to the major League of Legends forums to see if there is any fresh gossip recently.

result……

There really is.

…

On the first day of December, there is exactly about a week left before the opening of the National LoL College League.

Before some specific competition rules were announced on the official website, a lot of gossip had already been leaked from major domestic LOL forums.

For example, among the college teams competing this time, which of the old and strong teams from previous sessions have new strong players joining them? Or for example, a certain top eight team from the previous session has already said that it is determined to win the championship this time...

Etc., etc.

All kinds of gossip and gossip spread from Tieba forums,

Originally, it was just for the Chinese server players to watch and have fun.

But there is a piece of news that has caused a lot of heated discussions

I heard that there will be high school student teams participating in this National College League.

This news was first posted by a friend named "Flying Over Kyushu" on a well-known LOL forum, and soon the post was posted hundreds of times by countless forum friends who participated in the discussion. Thousand floors.

Basically, the vast majority of Tieba friends who participated in the discussion expressed disbelief in this news.

After all, this is the national college league.

All participating teams must be from colleges and universities, so why would high school students also participate?

There is no precedent at all before!

However, some Tieba netizens expressed their intention to watch the excitement and felt that if high school students really participated, this year's new National College League might become more fresh and interesting.

If there is a situation where a high school team defeats a high school team, it will definitely be a sight to see~

Of course, these gamers and water friends who were just looking at the excitement were just joking about it casually and didn't really take it seriously at all.

Until December 4th.

…

December 4th.

There are still four days until the start of the National LoL College League.

And finally on this day, the organizers announced the list of all registered teams in the seven competition areas on the official website.

Among them, the recommended teams from the three major e-sports association branches in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are impressively listed.

Three teams composed entirely of high school students.

It became the first time since the National College League was held!

As soon as the news came out, the forums of major League of Legends in the Chinese server were the first to explode.

All the friends on the forum were in an uproar.

This news……

It's so damn true! ?

It really allows high school students to participate in the national college league! ?

After the uproar, there were all kinds of heated discussions. Basically, the opinions were divided into two groups: one group believed that this was a complete nonsense, and it was meaningless for high school students to participate in college competitions; while the other group believed that such new competition rules were fresh and interesting. , just in time to see the strength level of high school players in the current national server.

Then the topic turned to the discussion about the strength of the teams from the three e-sports associations in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Basically, the vast majority of Chinese server players are curious:

After all, it is a team selected by the e-sports association to participate. Even if they are high school students, their strength should not be too bad, right?

However, there are also some players in the Chinese server who have a scornful attitude, especially some members of the college teams themselves, and even directly expressed their complaints and dissatisfaction on some platforms:

"Is the kid from high school coming to join in the fun?"

"Do you really think the National College League is just playing house?"

"You have to be taught how to be a good person every minute."

However, the top eight and top four teams in the previous college leagues have remained silent on this matter and have not made much comment.

They are also watching cautiously.

This is the first time that the National College League has done this kind of thing. It must not be a meaningless move. Then the three Electric Association teams from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou may actually have some strength.

Likewise, it should not be underestimated or taken lightly.

Of course, the Chinese server players and water friends in major forums on the Internet have been discussing this topic a lot, but for the Shanghai Electronics Association representative team who is the party involved, several members of the team have not paid attention to this kind of thing at all. above.

Because today is also another more important day

Tang Bingyao's birthday has arrived.

…

This time Tang Bingyao's birthday party was surprisingly large in scale.

Because not only classmates and friends like Lin Feng, An Xin, Ren Rou, Ouyang and Yang Fan, but also Wei Dong, Liu Yue and Shen Ze from the e-sports team came.

In addition, we also need to count several members of the Shanghai Middle School e-sports team on the other side.

This was just two days ago. When the five members of the E-sports Association team were arranging for training, friends from both e-sports clubs happened to come over to observe and learn. After the training, Lin Feng casually extended an invitation to Zeng Rui:

"Hey, the day after tomorrow is Tangtang's birthday, Xiao Zeng, you all should come together too!"

“It’s fun when there are many people!”

Zeng Rui, who has an indifferent personality, originally wanted to refuse subconsciously, but An Xin on the side also smiled and persuaded:

"Let's come together. We are teammates who will fight side by side in the future. This can be regarded as cultivating the relationship between teammates, right?"

Coupled with Lin Feng's enthusiastic encouragement, Zeng Rui finally nodded and agreed.

As for the other members of the Shanghai Middle School team who were just here to observe the training, they were also invited along by the way.

In the past few days, members of both e-sports teams have often come over to watch training and compete in various actual battles, and the relationship between them has become much more familiar and close.

Therefore, upon hearing Lin Feng's invitation, several members of the Shanghai Middle School team were immediately moved.

But in this matter, they still have to watch their captain eagerly, waiting for Zeng Rui to make a decision.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that there are three beauties like An Xin, Tang Bingyao and Ren Rou sitting in the Thirteen High School E-Sports Club is enough to make several members of the Shanghai Middle School team feel extremely greedy and eager.

They don't expect more, even if they have more opportunities to interact with these girls...

That’s great too!

Noticing the hopeful glances of several of his team members, Zeng Rui rubbed his forehead and temples and nodded:

"Um."

"Then let's all come together."

Several members of the Shanghai Middle School team suddenly cheered with excitement.

And in this way, the birthday party that night seemed quite lively.

In a small private room booked in the hot pot restaurant, there were more than a dozen people sitting there, all of whom came to celebrate Tangtang's birthday.

Such a lively scene... is extremely rare for Tang Bingyao.

Even...it would make her, as the birthday girl, feel a little confused.

In the past, she didn't have many friends. Even if it was a so-called birthday, she would simply buy herself a small cake, or ask her grandma to make a bowl of longevity noodles with a poached egg at home. After eating it, it would be considered her birthday.

There is nothing else worth remembering.

And now

With such a full table and such a lively and joyful atmosphere, Tang Bingyao suddenly became a little lost in thought. It took her a long time to come to the conclusion with uncertainty:

It seems that she has a lot of friends.

She can also have a lively birthday like this.

Suddenly, Tang Bingyao felt a little happy.

Very happy.

Then, it’s worth celebrating.

And if it's for friends, you can make exceptions for some things.

With this thought in her mind, Tang Bingyao suddenly stood up from her chair, almost losing her balance. She swayed from side to side twice before regaining her balance. Then she carefully took out her small wallet that she always carries with her from her pocket. , with a blushing face, he waved his small wallet in front of everyone:

"today"

"I-I'm treating you!"

Everyone was stunned.

Then a burst of cheers and applause broke out.
