Chapter 25： Meet

Ye Shaoyang walked into the VIP channel and found that on the LCD screen above the security checkpoint, several lines of precautions were marked with eye-catching red words—

What to watch for:

1. Please politely spray Alpha pheromone masking agent when Alpha enters the venue;

2. If the pheromone test is abnormal, please contact the medical staff immediately;

3. Please watch the game in a civilized manner. It is forbidden to smoke and drink in the stadium; it is forbidden to make loud noises and fights.

A harmonious e-sports environment requires everyone to protect it together.

Just after reading the prompt, a female doctor in a white coat suddenly walked over and asked him with a smile: "Sir, your pheromone data monitoring is abnormal, and the value is 0. Excuse me, are you still not differentiated?"

Ye Shaoyang nodded: "Yes, I haven't differentiated yet."

The female doctor handed him a sealed plastic bag: "Here is the contact number of the medical team. If you feel unwell during the game, you can contact us in time. There are commonly used Omega and Alpha pheromone inhibitors in the bag. Pheromones can be temporarily inhibited to avoid uncontrolled differentiation."

Ye Shaoyang took the bag and smiled politely at her: "Thank you doctor."

The female doctor gestured to the security guard, indicating that the security check would be released.

Ye Shaoyang walked through the security check with Qin Rui. Seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help but curiously asked his brother, "A person like me who is undifferentiated will be given special protection in public?"

I feel like I'm about to become a rare animal.

Qin Rui leaned into his ear and said softly, "Yes, brother, because you may divide at any time. If you don't prepare in advance, if you lose control, it will affect the surrounding audience."

Ye Shaoyang thought thoughtfully: "The pheromone data is 0, which means that it has not yet differentiated?"

Qin Rui nodded and explained: "The pheromone data of Alpha, Beta and Omega after differentiation can be detected by the instrument. Usually, it is safe to be lower than 6.0. If it exceeds 10.0, Omega may enter the estrus period, Alpha There will be a susceptibility period. Monitoring pheromones in public places is also to avoid disturbances."

It seems that it is quite troublesome to not differentiate, and all kinds of medicines and blocking stickers must be carried with you. I hope that I will differentiate quickly, with a 50% probability, whether it is Alpha or Omega, at least give him a result, don't hang around like this.

Ye Shaoyang took out his mobile phone and quickly wrote down the key values ​​that Xiao Rui said. Then he put away the mobile phone and the plastic bag, and walked into the scene with his brother.

The Star City E-sports Center is huge and can easily accommodate more than 100,000 spectators.

The scene is divided into two floors, the first floor and the second floor. The stage is in the middle of the entire scene, and the seats in the six areas of A~F surround the stage like petals. There is a constant temperature system at the competition site. In the south in August, the weather outside is extremely hot, and the ground is so hot that you can fry eggs. As soon as I walked into the scene, the cold air from the air conditioner was very comfortable.

Two glass soundproof rooms are located on the left and right sides of the stage. Five gaming chairs and desktop computers are neatly placed in the soundproof room. At this time, the overhead lights were on and the light was very bright, and many staff were debugging the equipment in the soundproof room.

A projection screen is hung in the air in each area of ​​Zone A~F. During the game, the video of the game will be displayed on the big screen in real time, and the spectators who are sitting far away can also see the game through the big screen, which is very intimate.

Ye Shaoyang quickly found his seat according to the seat number on the e-ticket.

He and Xiao Rui's seats are located at 3-51 and 3-52 in Area A, just in front of the stage, which is an excellent viewing position. Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Rui sat down on the seats together.

There was still some time before the game. When he was bored, he turned on his mobile phone and registered a Weibo account. The account was [Anchor Xiaobai]. Then, he logged into the live broadcast room of the whale platform with his mobile phone, and wrote in the announcement area: Everyone is welcome to pay attention to [emailprotected] anchor Xiaobai.

The audience came in one after another.

At 1:30 noon, all spectators entered the venue.

Ye Shaoyang looked back and saw that there was a crowd of more than 100,000 people.

Fans in the back row held up huge cheering posters, with banners with the team logo painted on, as well as Q-version avatars of some players, real posters, cheering slogans, etc. It was as lively as a star concert.

Qin Rui looked around excitedly and whispered, "Brother, it's the first time I've watched the game live. There are so many people!"

Ye Shaoyang said calmly: "There are definitely more players in the playoffs than in the regular season. I looked at the schedule, and the team that wins today's game can at least make it to the semi-finals. The team that loses will be beaten to the lower bracket."

Qin Rui was puzzled: "The loser's group?"

Ye Shaoyang explained: "It is the 'double elimination system'. The teams in the upper bracket will enter the lower bracket if they lose once. The teams in the lower bracket will be eliminated as long as they lose. Four go to the upper bracket, and the bottom four go to the loser bracket."

Qin Rui suddenly realized: "Isn't the loser group less likely to have a chance? They are all teams with poor results."

Ye Shaoyang smiled and whispered in his younger brother's ear: "That's not necessarily true. Teams that performed well in the regular season will overturn a lot in the playoffs. Games are all about playing on the spot, and the playoffs are elimination system. Players will be under a lot of psychological pressure, and if their mentality is not good, they will easily collapse after losing a game.”

Qin Rui nodded seriously: "That makes sense! Brother, you know quite a lot."

Ye Shaoyang did not explain. He has seen too many tears from players who were eliminated from the winner's bracket, and those who tried their best to come back from the loser's bracket.

The biggest charm of e-sports is here—

If the crystal is not broken, anything is possible.

At 13:45 in the afternoon, the lights in the audience suddenly dimmed, and the audience burst into cheers.

Two hosts, a man and a woman, took to the big stage. The male host is tall, wearing a gray suit, and the female host is wearing a small white dress and silver stiletto crystal sandals. The handsome men and women stand together very seductively.

The male host picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Good afternoon everyone, I'm Lin Qi, the host, there are still 15 minutes before the official start of the playoffs. Next, we will conduct a lottery first, and invite the host of the whale live broadcast platform. Also our special host of this game - Yao Mu, come to give everyone the first round of the lottery!"

Ye Shaoyang looked up at the stage unexpectedly.

When he went to negotiate with Mr. Liu of Whale Live, he knew the anchors of this platform. The most popular male anchor is Xiaowei, and the female anchor is Yao Mu. There are not many female anchors in the game area. The reason why Yao Mu's popularity is so high is that in addition to her outstanding appearance, the game is really good.

She is dedicated to playing support, and often team up with water friends to play ranked. Someone on the Internet hacked her, saying that she won by lying with her boss. But Ye Shaoyang watched her live video for a few games, and the support played very well. Although the operation was not as good as that of a professional player, her awareness was very good. She also had several national uniforms of support heroes in her hands.

The female anchor has a good temper and never argues with black fans. Ye Shaoyang has a good impression of her.

"Everyone, good afternoon." Yao Mu was wearing a white dress, long hair and a shawl, with a gentle smile, took the remote control handed over by the male host and pressed it, saying, "This time the peripheral gifts are from [Forest Envoy]. The limited-edition figure is very worthy of collection, I wonder which audience can have this luck?"

The male host said: "We will draw three lucky viewers in the first round, and the system will randomly select them. Everyone pay attention to their seat numbers. Maybe you will be the winner!"

The live seat number started to scroll rapidly on the screen.

Yao Mu smiled and said, "Countdown, 3, 2, 1, stop!"

She hit the pause button.

Three seat numbers are fixed on the big screen: B3-51, C18-39, F60-99.

Qin Rui looked down at the seat number and sighed regretfully: "What a pity, just one letter away, brother, you will win the lottery." Ye Shaoyang's seat number is A3-51, but the winner is B3-51.

Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "It's normal, there are more than 100,000 spectators in the audience, and the probability of winning the lottery is very low."

Just as he was talking, a person suddenly walked by.

The man was tall, wearing simple jeans and a black T-shirt, with a mask on his face, and a black peaked cap on his head, the brim of the hat was so low that he couldn't see his face at all.

He walked quickly to the 3rd row in Area A, and sat down at A3-50 next to Ye Shaoyang.

Ye Shaoyang smelled a very special cold fragrance, which was clear and light, very pleasant.

He turned his head to look at the late audience beside him, who just happened to look back at him.

The eyes of the two met, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but startled—

Those are a pair of dark and deep eyes, calm, steady, and calm. With a pair of good-looking sword eyebrows, even if the mask blocks most of his facial features, the eyes alone can leave a deep impression on people.

Ye Shaoyang suddenly met those eyes, froze for a moment, and then showed a polite smile. The other party's eyes were still on him, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and he asked, "Xiao Bai?"

Sound good to hear.

Deep and magnetic, it is a male god's voice that is also very recognizable in the dubbing circle.

Ye Shaoyang reacted and said somewhat unexpectedly: "...Boss?"

I thought the local tyrant boss was a man in his thirties with a successful career, but this man seems very young?

Chi Shuo nodded: "Hello."

Ye Shaoyang immediately extended his hand politely: "Hello boss, is your seat here too?"

Chi Shuo stretched out his hand and shook him gently, and said, "Yes. I asked a friend for an extra ticket, which is exactly connected to your seat."

Team Tianhuan can walk through the player channel and go to the backstage viewing area dedicated to professional players and reporters on the second floor to watch the game. However, Chi Shuo didn't go with his teammates. He asked the team leader for an extra ticket and came to the scene as a spectator, so that he could sit with Xiaobai.

He was so popular that he would be surrounded by fans if he walked in directly, so he put on a hat and mask, and walked into the scene in a low-key manner when the audience ended and the lottery began. At this time, only the lights on the big stage were on, and the lights in other areas were turned off, and no one would notice him.

When Ye Shaoyang heard this, he smiled and said, "I was just about to say thank you to you in person. Whether it's a gift from the live broadcast room or today's tickets, you've spent a lot of money."

Chi Shuo said in a low voice, "You're welcome."

He looked carefully at the person in front of him.

The other party is also wearing a mask, and his eyes are clear and warm. When he smiles, his eyes seem to be bright, cheerful and generous, and he does not appear restrained or nervous at all.

- Calm and confident, exactly the same feeling that Xiaobai gave him during the live broadcast.

The familiar smell of alpha pheromone masking can be smelled in the nose, albeit lightly.

So, Xiaobai is an Alpha?

As soon as Chi Shuo's mind changed, he heard the host's voice on the stage, and the second round of the lottery began on the spot. He took out an exquisite gift box from behind and handed it to Ye Shaoyang: "For you, a gift to meet you."

Ye Shaoyang did not dare to answer for a while: "What is this?"

Chi Shuo said: "Around the game, the limited edition bookmarks for the Goddess series are out of print. I bought a few more sets back then. Don't you like playing mid-lane? It's just for collection."

Ye Shaoyang was embarrassed to accept it. The boss gave him a lot of gifts, gave him tickets, and brought him peripherals as a gift. He didn't know why the boss favored him. He didn't show his face during the live broadcast, so he wouldn't like his cat, right? Or, his game skills impress the boss?

Seeing his hesitation, Chi Shuo said lightly: "Take it. The game surrounding is not anything valuable. The key is the commemorative significance. There are six mid lane heroes in it, and you can practice slowly in the future."

Ye Shaoyang listened to him and took the gift box calmly: "Then I'm welcome, thank you boss."

This kind of gift around the game does not seem like an expensive luxury, and it is indeed acceptable. If they don't accept it, they will embarrass each other. The big deal is that they will give gifts to the boss in the future.

Ye Shaoyang looked down and saw that the blue gift box had a gilded game logo on the surface. After opening, there were 6 metal bookmarks neatly placed inside, exuding a soft luster under the light. The bookmarks are made in a 1:1 ratio according to the images of the six goddesses in the game. The metal bookmarks are as thin as cicada wings, and there are colorful three-dimensional carvings on the surface, which are very beautiful.

Below the bookmark, the names of 6 heroes are written in embossed craftsmanship—

Frost Goddess Shirley; Flame Goddess Nicole; Storm Goddess Vivian; Thunder Goddess Blanche; Ocean Goddess Heidis; Fate Goddess Angelia.

These six heroes, Ye Shaoyang has not had time to practice yet, but he knows that these are very popular mid lane mages in the game. The souvenir that the boss gave him is really meaningful.

Ye Shaoyang's fingertips lightly touched the surface of the bookmark. The texture of the metal is cool and smooth to the touch. This special metal bookmark will not fade after being stored for many years. He liked this set of accessories very much, and couldn't help but say: "Bookmarks are very beautiful. Unfortunately, these 6 heroes, I only play [Frost Goddess]."

Chi Shuo looked at him with a rare gentle voice: "Six mage heroes correspond to six different lineup systems. I believe that with your understanding, you can learn it soon."

Ye Shaoyang accepted the praise of the other party calmly, looked at him with a smile and said, "Since the boss looks down on me so much, then I will take all the national uniforms of these six heroes."

The national uniforms of 6 heroes, take it as you say it?

To others, it looks like ranting.

But Chi Shuo knew it wasn't.

He likes Xiao Bai's self-confidence.

Confidence is an essential quality to become a professional player.

Moreover, Xiaobai has the strength to take the national uniform, and is not talking big words.

Chi Shuo raised his lips slightly, looked at Xiaobai and said, "After you took down the national uniform of [Abyss Lord], the official recommended your outfit ideas. I tried it with your outfit these days, and the operation is really good. Smooth."

Ye Shaoyang said modestly: "I also figured it out myself. This hero has a very flexible operation mode and strong harvesting ability. There should be more play routines that can be studied slowly."

Chi Shuo nodded: "Well. [Abyss Master] is only available on the online game terminal, and has not officially landed on the game server. The official may also adjust the data of the new hero."

Ye Shaoyang teased: "Don't cut it into a younger brother with one knife, I finally got the national uniform."

Chi Shuo said in a low voice, "No, at most it is the fine-tuning of the value. If the skill mechanism remains the same, the harvesting ability of this hero is still TO level."

Qin Rui: "..."

Who is he, where is he, is he going to say something? ?

Qin Rui pricked up his ears to listen to the chat between his brother and the boss.

It's very strange that these two people met for the first time today, but they didn't feel like strangers at all. When they talked about the heroes in the game, they had a lot of common topics, just like old friends who have known each other for a long time.

Qin Rui was completely speechless.

He could only sit down carefully and silently cast his eyes on the big stage.
