212 Fu Jiu, the Handsome Captain (1/2)

This reminded Yin Wuyao of the days when he first started playing .

At that time, people weren't as appreciative towards online game players.

It was completely unlike now, where once a godly figure emerged, he would be idolized everywhere.

Just six years ago, most people considered anyone related to online gaming to be not serious about his life.

Online gaming contests weren't welcome in Huaxia.

No matter if they were relatives or schoolmates, whenever they talked about people who worked in the gaming industry, subtle disdain would show up on their faces first.

”Make money by playing online games?”

”Wasting money is more like it.”

”These kinds of people who are lazy and have no goals in life won't succeed in the future...”

Yin Wuyao sat on the railing outside of the internet café. He tilted his head and lit a cigarette.

Even he didn't know why he still thought about those things that seemed so far away already.

So many people had said that he was being unrealistic, but had he gritted his teeth through it all despite the difficulties. He had thought that one day, he would prove to everyone that what he was doing was called eSports, not just playing games.

Finally, he became one of the professional players.

He thought that it was finally his chance to shine.

However, in the short time span of half a year ...

Within just half a year, all his passion for this career was devoured.

Gaming contests weren't just about playing games well and becoming popular afterwards.

You needed to do publicity, you needed a supportive manager, you needed to constantly compete with your peers, and your best teammates might turn their backs on you at any moment just to get more fans...

Yin Wuyao extinguished his cigarette as he thought about this. Just as he was about to go inside, his phone screen lit up.

It was a message from their team's WeChat group.
