When I Have Money

The flight time from Shanghai to Jakarta was about six hours and forty minutes. Yang Kun checked in his equipment and waited for boarding in the VIP lounge. In order to choose a direct flight, Yang Kun chose either Indonesian airlines or domestic airlines, and these are medium-sized aircraft with only business class and no first class.

In the end, Yang Kun chose a domestic airline. As for the legendary "Singapore Airlines" that needs a transfer to Jakarta, Yang Kun finds it troublesome!

The addition of e-sports games to the Asian Games this time is actually a performance display, and it cannot be regarded as a real sports event.

Of course, there are still 'medals', but this e-sports is still not a traditional sport, and it does not have such a high gold content (honor). But from the perspective of reality (money)... National athletes may not necessarily make as much money as top game players!

After all, this is the era of "traffic", and the "games" that most young people pay attention to belong to traffic. So the 'transfer fee' of those hot game players is outrageous!

It is mainly because of Yang Kun’s generation, children born in the 1980s and 1990s, it can be said that ‘games’ accompanied their youth growth. So young people of this generation are more fond of 'games', and in most boring moments, what everyone thinks about is playing games to pass the time.

It is precisely because of the public's love and attention to games that games and related industries around games have grown rapidly, and the professionalization of e-sports is one of them!

And this Asian Games is also an attempt to take e-sports as a sport... tentatively on the stage. It's just that the 'Olympics' will not recognize 'e-sports' as a sport.

But for people like Yang Kun who like games, such a grand event is worth visiting if their own conditions permit. Whether it's the Asian Games, or the upcoming 'S8 World Finals'.

When Yang Kun was drinking happy water in the quiet waiting room, suddenly many people came in the waiting room. They were wearing the sports uniforms of the 'national team'. Did you just adapt to the site and climate in the past?

As a result, Yang Kun saw that the person wearing the team uniform turned out to be the representative player of the "League of Legends" who went to Jakarta this time. With a little surprise and excitement, Yang Kun called out to them: "Team China, come on!"

They listened to Yang Kun's sudden "Come on" and looked towards Yang Kun. Two people in the team knew Yang Kun, but more people still didn't know each other. They responded politely: "Come on!"

Contestant 'Mala Xiangguo' looked at Yang Kun in surprise and said, "Brother Kun?"

Didn't expect a game player to know himself? Yang Kun looked at the 'Xiangguo' in surprise and said, "Xiangguo, come on!!"

At this time, the coach leader of the team said: "Everyone have a rest, there may be 20 minutes to board the plane."

When they were resting and waiting to board the plane, Xiang Guo smiled and came to Yang Kun's side: "Brother Kun, where are you going?"

Yang Kun responded with a smile: "Go to Jakarta to watch your game. It is rare for e-sports to have the opportunity to be on the big stage. I must go to the scene to support you!"

Xiangguo said: "We will perform well and strive to win medals!"

While Yang Kun was chatting with Xiangguo, the commentators also came. This time, the commentators for Jakarta were all men. There was no 'E-sports chair' and no 'Shuilongjie'. But Yu Shuang did appear, but she is not a commentator, she is the official host of the game.

Yang Kun watched the commentary and came to the waiting room. He took the initiative to go over and chat with them: "Hello, I went to watch the game competition this time. I want to ask if the broadcasting rights of the game have not been obtained. Are you there?"

Among them, the official commentary said with a smile: "Well, I didn't get the rights to broadcast, but the game official sent us to watch the scene. Can we broadcast the commentary live?"

The broadcast rights of the Asian Games are purchased with money. It is possible that the rebroadcast fee charged by the other party is relatively high, and the domestic platform feels that it is a bit too much to rebroadcast just one "League of Legends" section. In addition, this game is not officially included in the Asian Games program. It's a showcase race! So the platform thinks it's not worth the money, right?

(PS: I checked on purpose. The 2018 Asian Games e-sports event is an exhibition event, not an official event. When winning the championship, the commentator also deliberately said, "The Jakarta Asian Games "League of Legends" exhibition event, the champion is the Chinese team.")

The LPL official still sent a commentator to the scene, and see if we can exploit the loopholes then? Open your own live broadcast room to do game commentary, not a formal commentary station.

Listening to the commentary being so dedicated, Yang Kun said with a smile: "It's really hard work for you!"

The commentator responded: "The right to travel at public expense."

The business class and first class passengers in the VIP lounge have boarded the plane in advance. The players and commentators all gathered in the business class, after all, they all belong to the government. The economy class of long-duration flights is either free travel tourists with little budget, or some tour groups.

The business class with a two-plus-two layout is quite spacious overall, and can lie flat at 180 degrees to relieve fatigue during the flight.

After boarding the plane ahead of schedule, Yang Kun sat down, took out his mobile phone and started playing games on the mobile side, because there was still some time before take-off, and the players and commentators sitting around chatted game-related content.

Sitting next to Yang Kun was the official commentator. He smiled and said, "Brother Kun, has the hotel where you are staying been arranged?"

Yang Kun nodded in response: "Well, it has been arranged, Pullman. Where are you and the contestants?"

The commentator said: "The players don't live with us, they have special accommodation arrangements, and the tactics before the game need to be kept secret. Our commentators will make arrangements to come back and pay the bill at that time! By the way, this "League of Legends" exhibition match , have you got the invitation letter?"

"Invitation letter? Don't sell tickets?"

"I don't know, we will have an invitation letter at that time. Our side...wait, let me ask Yu Shuang." The commentator turned to look at Yu Shuang who was sitting next to him: "Sister Shuang, how much is the invitation letter?" Is it? Brother Kun, I want to watch the game live."

Yang Kun bent down, looked at Yu Shuang, the game host next to him, and said, "I didn't want to watch it, I just went to Jakarta for this competition. I thought the 'game' was like a traditional event, To sell tickets publicly?"

Yu Shuang smiled and said, "It seems that tickets are going to be sold? I don't know the details yet. If it's an invitation letter, I'll see if I can ask for an extra one for you when I get the job card!"

Yang Kun said with a smile: "Then I will thank Sister Shuang first. Why did you come alone this time, where is Zeyuan?"

Sister Shuang responded with a smile: "He was not invited, and our official side sent the three of us. I am actually their translator!"

Because Yu Shuang is a bilingual host, so the official dispatch of her to accompany this time may also have considerations for language communication. After all, the English of the two commentators is not very good.

After waiting for the plane to take off, everyone fell asleep for a while, and after waking up, it felt like they landed in Jakarta not long after.

It was about 3:30 in the afternoon when they arrived at the destination, and this time the contestants represented the country, so after they got off the plane, they were picked up by the vehicle arranged by the organizing committee and went to the Asian Games Village.

Only Yang Kun and three official people stood at the exit of the airport. He saw that the person who arranged for the pick-up from the hotel had arrived. At this time, they were waiting with a sign, so Yang Kun looked at the official person and said: "Have you found the hotel yet? If you haven't found it, go to the Pullman Hotel where I'm staying? I looked at the map and the hotel is in the city center. It will be very convenient for travel and so on."

The commentator responded: "Pullman, isn't this too advanced? I'm afraid we won't be able to reimburse that much?"

Yang Kun said: "Um, why don't we go to the city center together? The pick-up from my hotel is here."

"It won't bother you too much, right?" Although they said so, the official side did not arrange for them. They can only find a place to live by themselves. It would be better if they could hitch a ride to the city.

After Yang Kun went to the pick-up staff to express his information, he took the three of them to the hotel

Their group of officials also found that Yang Kun's English is very good, no wonder he can come to Jakarta alone.

Along the way, they looked up the hotel information, a lot of international traffic wasted, but they couldn't choose a good place. Because the amount of accommodation reimbursement per person per day is not too much, and they want to choose better conditions and cheaper prices, and they are worried about the safety of staying in homestays overseas.

After arriving at the hotel, the group got out of the car. They dragged their bags to find a hotel because the price of the Pullman was more than they could reimburse.

Yang Kun exchanged phone calls with them and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Because more people gather together to eat, it will be more lively, and the number of meals that can be ordered should be larger, so that you can try more flavorful dishes.

When Yang Kun checked in, there was a European and American lady who checked in with him. She had short brown hair and completely 'get' Yang Kun's heart. She was very thin and tall, and she was at least '170CM' by visual inspection. At this time she was wearing a floral dress and flat lady sandals

When Yang Kun looked at her, she also looked back at Yang Kun, only to see that her face was exactly the 'slap-sized face' that Asians like. But her European and American deep and three-dimensional facial features and tall figure give people the impression that she is like a model lady in those magazines, very beautiful and sweet. Yes, she also belongs to the super sweet type, similar to Barbie dolls

Yang Kun suddenly had a feeling of excitement, this is the real exotic style, compared to the beauties from the Western Regions, blondes are more attractive!

Could this be the love luck bonus given by the system?
