LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Chapter 5 005: Career Opportunities (Part 2)

Lin Ran scratched his head, turned on the speakerphone, opened the bathroom door, and looked at his face in the mirror.

Because he inherited his parents' outstanding looks, Lin Ran must look in the mirror every morning - this helps him quickly get out of his sleepy state.

Looking at the young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes in the mirror, his face was fair and clean, and his jawline was perfectly curved, Lin Ran pinched his cheeks with satisfaction.

"...You study hard, do you hear me?" The father on the other end of the phone ended his daily preaching and said in a serious tone.

Lin Ran's mouth was now full of toothpaste foam. He hurriedly answered twice and hung up the phone.

PDD sent a WeChat message at this moment, asking him to meet for a detailed discussion at three o'clock in the afternoon. The location was set to be a McDonald's in the center of Suzhou. Shanghai and Suzhou are not far apart and can be reached in less than an hour by high-speed rail.

But this can also show the sincerity of PDD.

Lin Ran opened the closet and found a white sweatshirt. The black pants made his legs look slender. No one liked the hat when he wore it. He put on his headphones and left the room.

He is usually alone in a house of nearly 200 square meters. His mother died young and his father is a senior worker in a communications technology company. He is away on business for a long time and makes a lot of money, but his relationship with his son is very dull.

Lin Ran didn't want to follow the future planned for him by his father step by step. He felt that there was a rebellious blood hidden in his bones. He had no interest in studying. The live broadcast two months ago was just a spur of the moment rebellion.

To his surprise, his father agreed.

It was just two o'clock when he arrived at the appointed place. Lin Ran ordered a double cheeseburger set meal. After eating it in a few mouthfuls, he leaned on the chair, sucked a Coke and looked at the street view outside the window.

Just after 2:30, a huge man squeezed open the door of the fast food restaurant.

Lin Ran recognized PDD at a glance, and had to admit that a person of this size would turn heads more often when walking on the street than his handsome and eye-catching self.

As soon as he stood up, PDD noticed the handsome Lin Ran in the corner. He stepped forward, stretched out a chubby hand, and looked at Lin Ran up and down with his round eyes.

The moment he saw Lin Ran, his eyes lit up.

He is so handsome, PDD thinks that this kid may have a good way out if he doesn't play e-sports and become a film and television star.

After sitting down, he got straight to the point.

"Have you thought about the question I asked you early this morning?" PDD put the briefcase in his hand on the table and asked, "What is your future career plan?"

"Be a host?"

"Still be a student and find a job after graduating from college?"

Lin Ran was silent for a while.

"Are you doing well in studies?" PDD asked a question that he thought was very heartbreaking. When he was a child, these questions had hurt his young heart countless times.

"Pretty average." Lin Ran was always talking about something, "Can you get a 985?"

PDD had just gotten excited after listening to the first half of the sentence, but was shocked by the second half of Lin Ran's sentence.

"I...let me tell you this."

PDD originally wanted to start with the more troubling problems of Internet-addicted teenagers, but Lin Ran's previous remarks made Pangdudu immediately change its strategy.

"With your talent, it would be a pity to be an anchor. And I also got a general idea on the way to Suzhou today. Your performance as an anchor is relatively average. In other words, the program is not effective."

Lin Ran also admitted that he had not yet found a way to interact well with the barrage, for fear that his sharp words would hurt the audience.

"If you look at the current top anchors on the platform, they are either former professional players or entertainment anchors who have very good live broadcasts and can create memes. Which category do you think you belong to?"

PDD was open and honest, telling Lin Ran the pros and cons one by one.

"So in my opinion, playing professionally is a very suitable path for you. If you get ahead and come back to be a host, you will gain a huge audience base and gain both fame and fortune."

"Sounds good," Lin Ran felt his heart moved. He pondered for two seconds and raised his head to look at his chubby round eyes, "But are you sure I can make a name for myself in my career?"

"I'm not 100% sure," PDD replied. "I'm not kidding you. E-sports has always been a road of risks and benefits. You can waste your youth in this industry and do nothing, or you can become famous all over the world. Know."

“Many people fell by the wayside in the City Heroes Contest, the LSPL Secondary League, and the LPL League. They were once talented and high-scoring champions, but there is a big difference between professional and ranked competitions, and it is not as simple as imagined. "

"But I'm sure you are different from them," PDD looked directly into Lin Ran's eyes and leaned forward slightly, "You are a genius."

Lin Ran was a little surprised by this evaluation. Although he was sure that he had a unique talent in League of Legends, and his classmates who usually played this game also said that he was a genius, the words he said from Pang Dudu had a different meaning.

After all, the fat man sitting opposite him can be said to be one of the best retired players in the LPL.

"If you work hard enough, your talent is enough to support you in the LPL."

"I'm not just here for you this time," PDD admitted frankly. "This morning I got the contact information of many young people with high scores. I will go door to door to visit those who are interested in playing professionally."

"I've also entrusted someone to arrange the quota for the LSPL. I'll probably buy a team with poor performance and change its name."

This is no secret. PDD wanted to show Lin Ran his execution ability. It had been less than a day since he decided to set up a team, and he acted quickly.

Lin Ran also knew all this.

PDD glanced at Lin Ran's handsome face and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday you asked me why I wanted to establish an alliance team..."

"Maybe it's because my career has not been successful," PDD said again. "After several years of playing, my best result was only one of the top eight in the S-League. Although I also won many domestic league championships, it was still not good enough. Have some flavor.”

"I thought carefully for an hour before I called you early this morning. I had a lot of regrets when I was a player. Sometimes when I lose a game and go to bed at night, I will think about whether I didn't do a good job in any detail. If I didn't do it well at that time, If a mistake is made, will the final outcome change?"

PDD smiled bitterly, "It's hard to get over it after all, but it's not a bad idea to regard them as my future goal as the owner of a professional team."

"I want to win the first league championship and the first international championship. I want to carve the club's name into the history of League of Legends."

When he said these words, there was light in the man's eyes, like an unfinished dream from his youth.

"I will go back and talk to my father." Lin Ran did not express his position immediately. "If I make a decision, I will contact you."

What PDD wanted was this sentence. He excitedly stretched out his hand and shook Lin Ran's hand.

This is another good news for him to leave Shanghai. It is the first time he has been engaged in personnel work in an e-sports club since retiring. Pangdudu is also a little worried.

PDD didn't stay in Suzhou for long. According to him, he had to go to Weihai, where there was also a talented young man waiting for him.
