December 5th.

this day.

Pengcheng Sports Center.

Lin Yao came over early in the morning, and then started to run around to complete the final confirmation work with the staff of Linmu Esports.

In the evening, it was the opening ceremony of the e-sports festival.

And such a huge activity.

Tell the truth.

Just confirming the work of each department is enough...

Lin Yao came in the morning, and was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon before returning to the lounge, sitting down and preparing for lunch.

"What to eat for lunch?"

A corner of the living room.

Lin Yao asked while unpacking the takeaway bag. Although her face was tired, her voice didn't change much.

Still alive.

“Stuffed bitter gourd and chicken in soy sauce.”

Mu Wanqing unpacked the chopsticks, and while replying, handed the taken out chopsticks to Lin Yao.

"..."

Lin Yao took the chopsticks, put them in her mouth and bit them, and opened the plastic bags much faster.

Because what Mu Wanqing just said were all her favorite dishes.

Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Yao, smiled softly, then sat next to her, put her hand on her chin, and said gently: "Actually, you don't have to check it yourself, there have been so many rehearsals, can the staff of Linmu E-sports Done."

"That's right..."

Lin Yao untied the plastic bag and put the soup bowl on the top aside. Because she was biting her chopsticks, her speech was a bit slurred: "But I will definitely be worried. I won't feel relieved if I don't go through it myself."

Mu Wanqing smiled and said: "But this is not the first time we have held the e-sports festival, it has been several years, not to mention we held the carnival in the first half of the year, it was so successful..."

"It is precisely because of the success of the carnival in the first half of the year that the e-sports festival has formed a fixed impression. As a reformed session, I am not at ease."

Lin Yao opened the lid of the takeaway box and replied at the same time.

Then, she suddenly paused, took the lid of the takeaway box, looked back at Mu Wanqing, and said with a smile, "Did it go back to the original point...?"

"..." Mu Wanqing smiled helplessly.

"Actually, no matter how troublesome it is, there is only half a day left."

Seeing the expression on Mu Wanqing's face, Lin Yao took off the chopsticks she was biting, and her words became clear again: "The opening ceremony is about to begin tonight... Let's regard it as the ordeal before success."

Talking and talking.

She looked up and out the window.

The weather today is good.

Outside, the sky was blue and spotless.

Lin Yao opened the chopsticks and murmured, "Today is a beautiful day, I hope everything goes well."

"Most definitely."

Mu Wanqing nodded vigorously, and then said, "Hurry up and eat."

"Well... do you want to eat?"

Lin Yao withdrew her gaze and looked at Mu Wanqing.

"I have already eaten."

"Then bring me a bottle of water, please."

"good."

"..."

Inside the lounge.

The two chatted one after another, and occasionally there was a clear and melodious laugh.

And out the window.

The sun flicked by.

...

evening.

It was not yet five o'clock.

Outside the Pengcheng Sports Center.

The security channel just opened.

The audience formed a long queue, waiting for the ticket check to enter.

With tens of thousands of spectators, it is not easy to ensure safety and order.

Fortunately, after several e-sports festivals, Lin Mu e-sports is already very experienced, and with the assistance of Pengcheng.

It's not a big problem.

After the baptism of several e-sports festivals, the players already have a certain tacit understanding.

Even if it is still early before the official opening of the e-sports festival.

Audiences who have nothing to do will also come to the scene in advance.

On the one hand, it is because they can't wait, and on the other hand, it is also because it will be of no benefit to anyone if they squeeze together to enter the venue.

Unless there is really no way, ordinary players will not pinch.

There are almost three hours left until the opening ceremony.

However, several security check passages were already crowded with people, which looked quite spectacular.

"This is...too many people."

Kou Hong was in the middle of one of the ticket checking lines.

He looked around and saw the crowds of people around him. While his scalp was numb, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

This is not only domestic players, there are also a large number of overseas players in each ticket inspection team, at least about 30% by visual estimation.

Some sports events are not that exaggerated...

Did so many people watch the game competition?

That's his only thought right now.

no way.

Kou Hong really doesn't understand this field, he doesn't even play games...

The reason why he bought a ticket to come to the scene was only because he had a strong interest in this company when he helped Linmu Studio shoot the short film "The Box".

After watching the promotional video of the e-sports festival, I became interested in the activities held by this forest studio.

Then, my head got hot.

He bought a ticket and ran over.

But before he came, he didn't expect that there would be so many spectators in the game competition.

"This is too outrageous, the event held by Linmu Studio...what magic power is there?"

Kou Hong was curious as he looked at the end of the long queue of players and the players that kept coming to line up.

...

At the same time when Kou Hong sighed.

Another team.

A blond but thin man said excitedly: "David! We're back! We're back again! We finally got tickets!!"

"Yes, Hank."

Another man with two big flower arms who looked a bit like the former sighed and said a little sadly: "Two years!!! Damn it! It's really getting harder and harder to get tickets for Linmu Studio, We couldn’t get the tickets for the e-sports festival, and we couldn’t get the tickets for the carnival...we finally got them this year.”

"No way, too many people want it."

The thin and thin Hank patted his brother on the shoulder and comforted him: "But don't be too sad. Think about it from another angle. Although it's a pity that we didn't get tickets in the past two years...but this year we got it! And this year The e-sports festival is different from previous years! I have a hunch! This e-sports festival will definitely have a big surprise!"

"……Too."

David thought for a while, and felt that what his younger brother said made sense, so he nodded and became happy again.

then.

The two started chatting with each other.

And talking and talking.

David thought of something, and suddenly said: "Dear brother, I want to change my job."

"Why?" Hank was taken aback.

"My damn boss doesn't grant holidays. This time I resigned to watch the game."

David shrugged: "Maybe I can go to work at your company. After all, your boss seems to be easy to talk to, and he can grant you leave every year, whether it is to come to the scene or watch the game online... What is your reason? Please get a fake one?"

"……be honest."

Hank paused and spread his hands: "Our boss is very reasonable!"

"Awesome."

David looked a little envious.

Hank nodded perfunctorily and didn't say much.

He is already very proficient, so just perfunctory at this time.

Anyway, he asked for leave with his ability!

As for the reason for asking for leave this year, it's actually very simple...that is, his girlfriend who has been dating for two years has cancer. Although he doesn't have a girlfriend to hell with, but for this day, he made up a...

And in order to increase his credibility, he began to lay the groundwork for his girlfriend in front of the boss early on, and even said that he planned to get married.

This succeeded in convincing his boss that he has a girlfriend and that they are in love.

And raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while...

For this moment!

'Girlfriend' is ready to die at any time...

"Linmu Studio shouldn't disappoint, right? It should make my 'girlfriend' die worthwhile, right?"

Hank looked towards the end of the line, thinking silently.

...

the same team.

end.

"I wanted to come to see the scene a long time ago, and this time I finally have the opportunity,"

A middle-aged man in his thirties with short hair, a straight nose, and a white shirt looked around and sighed.

Then, his sight was attracted by a figure from behind.

He looked at that figure, feeling a little familiar, showing a suspicious expression.

But soon.

He just shook his head and said regretfully: "It can't be him... Poor Hank, he likes games more than me, but he is so unlucky, the whole family seems to be cursed... Even his girlfriend can't escape the bad luck oh, God bless him!"

Hank's boss, thinking of his employees, prayed for him.

But he doesn't know.

The poor employee in his mouth is right in front of him...

And Hank himself didn't know that his boss was right behind him.

It can only be said that things are impermanent.

Just don't know.

Will it be more impermanent...

...

as time flows.

More and more spectators outside the venue entered the venue.

Then one after another, more new viewers came to line up.

The average time for each person to check the ticket is about a few seconds.

Lin Yao reserved enough time for admission.

So although there are many people, as long as they are not late, they will definitely be able to enter the venue before the opening ceremony.

And the time came to six forty.

Outside.

There are not many people left.

On the contrary, the sports center was densely packed with people.

A person's voice is very small.

But when the voices of tens of thousands of people gather together, it will be too lively...

And the audience, it started off fine.

But as 7:30 approached and the time for the opening ceremony approached, they became more excited and their voices became louder.

And in such an environment.

Even Kou Hong, who doesn't play games, couldn't help getting excited.

Although he thinks this feeling is inexplicable...

And as the hour hand points to seven o'clock.

Only half an hour left.

Backstage was also tense.

Mainly because the players in the opening game were a little nervous.

The staff and Lin Yao can't take care of it for the time being.

Because too busy.

"How about it?"

Lin Yao confirmed the procedure of the opening ceremony again, and then came to Nie Hui, the general manager, and asked a question.

"Everything is ready." Nie Hui took a deep breath, "The time is up."

"That's good."

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at a corner of the stage through the monitor, looked at the excited audience, and smiled knowingly.

...

at the same time.

North America, Gilber Corporation.

Today, Frank came to the company early in the morning.

He yawned, went to pour himself a cup of coffee, and then returned to his place.

boot.

open the Web page.

Click on the online live broadcast of the Forest Studio E-sports Festival.

Then lean back.

"Is it about to start? So what is Lin Yao's reason for forcibly changing the date of the e-sports festival? What's the point?"

Frank picked up the steaming coffee on the table and took a sip, then looked at the live broadcast room that was counting down, and laughed, "I can't even match the time... Evening is the time for the Global Game Awards, don't you?" Do you think this will cause us trouble?"

He is really curious about the e-sports festival of Forest Studio.

Of course, there are still some concerns.

That's why he came to the company early in the morning.

More curiosity than worry, though.

Because in the final analysis, if Linmu Studio does not release new games by the end of this year.

Everything that is said is false.

So he didn't take it too seriously.

live page.

half an hour.

Fleeting.

And returns to zero over time.

The live broadcast has officially started!

The screen appears.

All the players, seeing the screen appear, immediately focused on the screen, and Frank also withdrew his thoughts and looked at the live broadcast room.

at the same time.

The scene of the e-sports festival.

The lights dimmed.

The entire venue was plunged into darkness.

The auditorium, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Then a few seconds later.

Boom——

A countdown suddenly appeared on the huge game viewing screen.

Seeing the countdown, the cheers immediately rang out.

then.

The repertoire of the e-sports festival is here.

The audience counted down together.

"5."

"4."

"3."

"2."

"1!"

The overwhelming sound of the countdown, accompanied by the changing numbers on the screen, filled the atmosphere.

at last.

Count down to 1 hour.

The audience cheered again.

at the same time.

The numbers disappear.

On the big screen watching the game, the faces of two contestants suddenly appeared.

It is the old opponents of the "Breakout" project, Chen Xi of NO.1 and Lutai of FEIREN.

The two occupied one side of the screen and sat in front of the computer.

Then the next second.

The two looked up at the camera, suddenly raised their hands, slapped the table hard twice, and then slapped their palms violently.

The monotonous sound of slapping the table and applause did not make the players cheer, but only made the players feel puzzled.

And it hasn't waited for the player to react.

The players on the screen are replaced.

This time it is the star contestants of the "Heroes" project, Han Di and Bu Wenhua.

The two also looked at the camera, patted the table twice, and then clapped their hands.

The sound of table slapping and applause from them mixed with the voices of the two players in front of them and became even louder.

Then, the star players of the "DOTA" project, Potter Fink and Su Xingchang...

Then.

When their slapping on the table and applause mixed together again, it became clearer.

The spotlight suddenly came on!

But not the main stage.

It's the secondary stage on the right.

on the secondary stage.

The band takes center stage.

Behind them, colorful spotlights swept across.

The sound of the drum set sounded.

The drums and applause make it a rhythm.

Then there's the bass and guitar ensemble...

And watch the game on the big screen.

More and more players' faces appeared on the screen.

Overseas, domestic, well-known, low-key.

Different nationalities, different teams.

But they are doing the same action.

Clap the table, clap your hands.

The whole venue erupted in applause.

All the players present have seen the carnival.

Almost instantly, they guessed what it was going to do.

And those familiar e-sports players.

Infecting all players...

soon.

The first audience to clap their hands appeared.

Then.

It's the second, the third... Countless!

Intensive applause, caught in an infectious rhythm.

And the prelude is very long.

until.

All of the contestants' faces were shown.

All players have found their favorite players.

The vocalist's voice.

Then it rang.

With a hearty sense of explosion after depression! ! !

[Buddy you're a boy make a big noise (buddy you're a boy make a big noise)]

【Playing in the streets gonna be a big man someday】

【You got mud on your face】

The lead singer roared out like an explosion.

this time.

Even more shocking than the Forest Carnival!

Because here, there are nearly 60,000 spectators!

In the entire venue, the lights were turned off, and the only thing that was lit was the stage.

The audience in the auditorium couldn't see the situation next to them clearly, and they couldn't even see the appearance of the lead singer.

Because the screen is full of the faces of the contestants!

But they still applauded spontaneously, looking at the screen to find their favorite players.

Let your applause resound throughout the venue!

【Singing (sing out loud)】

【We will, we will rock you (We will rock you)】

【We will, we will rock you (We will rock you)】

The climax of the song.

Very messy.

Because not only the voice of the lead singer, but also the voices of all e-sports players.

But the lead singer, drummer, bass, guitar, e-sports players, and audience sang together, making the phrase "We will, we will rock you" extremely powerful.

This song.

this moment.

The player feel really fits in here!

It's like the words of e-sports players - we will shock you! !

"ohhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The audience almost didn't want to wait for a moment.

Interlude.

The cheers that seemed to overturn the entire venue erupted in an instant.

offstage.

a certain location.

Kou Hong sat there dumbfounded.

As the players cheered, they finally stopped clapping subconsciously.

He wanted to cover his ears because it was so fucking loud!

But I don't want to cover my ears.

Because it's too hot!

Is this the magic of the e-sports festival? ?

This explosive power...

He doesn't know what it is.

He just wanted to cheer loudly, stand up with the other players, growl and cheer!

The roar of the players, accompanied by the guitar solo.

Finishing off this hallowed rock song.

The atmosphere was pushed up instantly.

The players burst into another wave of cheers.

And just when the players cheered.

On the side stage where the band was located, the lights went dark with a snap.

Then another side stage.

Suddenly the lights came on.

There is no stagnation.

Another band emerged.

The tall female lead singer is in the spotlight.

On the huge viewing screen.

A line of words appeared - [Legends Never Die (Legends Never Die)].

Then, the prelude to the song sounded.

The audience has not slowed down, the next second.

Listening to the unfamiliar prelude.

They cheered again!

Their cheers echoed the prelude to the song.

【Legends never die】

【When the world is calling you (the world is calling you)】

【Can you hear them screaming out your name (can hear them screaming out your name)】

The hollow and distant female voice began to chant gently.

If the rock and roll just now was moving, then this time it was quiet.

The melodious female voice seemed to bring back memories.

With a tragic sense of failure.

And watch the game on the big screen.

It is true that the "failure" of each previous e-sports festival is played in rotation... or the difficult moments.

It's good to have a short move in chess.

BP mistakes are also good.

Bad decisions are okay.

In short.

These are difficult moments.

Tell the truth.

It doesn't feel right.

The opening of the e-sports festival will do this...

Kou Hong managed to calm down, looking at those pictures from an outsider, subconsciously came up with this idea.

But he just had the idea.

The music suddenly changed...

The screen also began to change.

【Every time you bleed for reaching greatness (Writing against adversity makes greatness)】

【Relentless you survive (stained red with blood and sweat)】

【They never lose hope when everything's cold and the fighting's near (never give up, despite more challenges and cold words)】

【It's deep in their bones they'll run into smoke when the fire is fierce (born tenacious, never afraid of the wind and waves)】

Melodious female voice.

Suddenly became excited! With a kind of "go all out" free and easy!

Even if you reach a desperate situation, you must fight to the death and be unyielding!

And, the stoicism that definitely wants to become a legend!

These are conveyed to everyone through singing.

This is another fire!

And... the effect is very good.

Kou Hong opened his mouth, his face flushed red, and then shivered violently on the spot.

Goosebumps all over my arms.

He was speechless.

even.

He felt like he was hallucinating.

Because he couldn't understand what the person next to him said.

"David, it's good that my girlfriend died... This time, it's really worth it!"

What is this talking about.

Kou Hong glanced at the two overseas audiences next to him, and immediately looked away.

Because with the female singer on stage singing "Legends never die" again!

The audience couldn't hold it anymore and cheered again.

Kou Hong couldn't even understand the game, but he still followed the players and cheered loudly.

no way.

I can't bear it!

In such an environment.

He finally knew the magic of this event in Linmu Studio.

On stage, the female singer got better in the second half of her singing.

And the end.

When the big characters of "Heroes and Legends" appeared on the big screen of the game.

"ohhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The atmosphere has reached a peak again!

Get pushed up again! Keep getting pushed up!

Not at the scene, the audience who watched the live broadcast were a little bit overwhelmed.

Let alone the audience.

Even professional players can't handle it...

Entrance to the stage.

Several professional teams are on standby, preparing for the final stage.

And at the top.

It is the representatives of the CTG team and the FEIREN team.

Lu Tai and Bu Wenhua.

The two carried the final trophy they won last year, although they did not belong to the same project.

But the expression is almost exactly the same.

They were all flushed with excitement.

Moreover, he clenched his empty hand into a fist, trembling slightly with excitement...

Whether it's the first song or the second song.

Lethality to them.

Really big.

Before they became professional gamers, they were also human beings.

"Fuck! After this opening ceremony, don't take the trophy back this year! I feel sorry for myself!"

Lu Tai glanced at the trophy on his shoulder, and suddenly cursed.

"..."

Beside him, Bu Wenhua glanced at him.

Although did not speak.

But obviously holding the same idea.

Behind them, several other teammates looked at each other, and their eyes were also ignited with raging fighting spirit.

But what they don't know is.

behind them.

Those e-sports players who failed to carry the trophy are watching them.

The light in his eyes was exactly the same as theirs.

E-sports players and spectators are excited, excited, and mixed with a little sentiment.

But at the scene, there was no muddy water.

Finished with the ending.

[Heroes and Legends] on the screen slowly faded away.

Then the lights on the sub-stage on the left also dimmed.

thump——

Then.

The lights on the main stage came on.

The players didn't even have to think, and cheered immediately.

And their cheers are like some kind of signal.

The band on the main stage played the first syllable.

A heavy drum beat.

Immediately afterwards.

Empty and vicissitudes, the sound of epic wind instruments sounded.

moment.

All the players were stunned for a moment, and then instantly got goosebumps all over their bodies.

In the playing channel.

All the team members of the "Breakout" project were stunned, and then they also got goosebumps like crazy.

Because the music being played is... the music used in the finals of the first Breakout Challenge, the predecessor of the e-sports festival, the name is—"Open Sky"!

The music sounded suddenly, with a sense of calmness concealing a stormy sea.

on site.

Watch the game on the big screen.

The screen of the first breakout challenge appeared.

Then came the second Breakout Challenge.

Then came the restructured e-sports festival...

Scenes of past events, along with the calm and turbulent music, were displayed in front of the players one by one.

In the beginning, there was only one project "Breakout", but slowly, it progressed with the music performance.

"Heroes", "dota", "Warcraft"... the pictures of these events are also added.

then.

The music suddenly changed midway.

With the arrogance of who I am.

Ethnic musical instruments paired with electronic sounds.

Majestic!

And on the screen.

The scenes of each team and players winning the championship began to be played.

shock!

Kou Hong raised his head.

The music this time, without any lyrics, is just pure music.

He couldn't hear the lyrics.

He also can't read the game.

but.

Listening to the music with the heroic spirit, looking at those contestants who are wearing golden fireworks and embracing each other excitedly.

He felt a certain sense of power.

A sense of power that...shocked him.

this time.

The players did not shout loudly, but all looked up at the big screen, watching the previous scenes.

After the foreshadowing of the previous two songs.

Most of them had the same idea as Kou Hong, that is, they felt a certain sense of shocking power.

Countless spectators raised their heads.

Under the reflection of the stage lights, it is reflected in the camera.

Watch the big screen.

After the screens of last year's winning teams appeared one by one.

The music also came to the second half.

The cheers of the players finally sounded.

They shouted with all their strength and vented their emotions without reservation!

And when they shouted.

Watch the big screen.

All the pictures appeared on the same screen.

The scenes of the e-sports festival in the past... suddenly began to go backwards.

Then.

All the pictures began to collapse inward.

It's like trying to gather this scene into one point!

And on the main stage.

The spotlights also began to dim one by one.

One, two, three...

The music comes to an end.

Snapped--

With the last light turned off.

The music played to the end.

But the aftertaste is still there.

And watch the game on the big screen.

The pictures that appeared on the same screen collapsed inward, and finally constituted an object—an abstract, black and white 'box'.

A 'box' similar to a Rubik's cube!

It is the LOGO of this year's e-sports festival! ! !

"..."

The audience looked at the LOGO made up of the game screen on the screen, and fell silent for a while.

Then.

The huge sound volume suddenly exploded.

deafening.

"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

...

"..."

at the same time.

Gibb Co.

some office.

Frank held the coffee, maintaining a posture of wanting to drink it.

But there has been no movement.

The coffee in his cup was boiling hot at the beginning, the mist rose, and then slowly, it became warm.

No longer spreads mist.

finally.

Frank saw the end.

I saw the appearance of LGOO at this year's Forest E-sports Festival.

Come to yourself.

"What The FucK."

He took a sharp breath, then glanced at the coffee in his hand, wanted to drink it again and again, and finally dropped the cup directly.

He had to admit it.

This opening ceremony... was really shocking!

Very shocking.

It was much more shocking than previous Global Game Awards.

When it comes to mobilizing emotions, Linmu Studio still knows a little better.

This made him a little worried.

Frank looked at the coffee on the table and began to think.

But soon, he reacted and shook his head.

He calmly picked up his coffee again.

"No... I'm confused, this is an e-sports festival, how can it affect me?"

Changed the order of the chapters... It was really messy before, it was my fault.

Let this prevail in the future...
