Chapter 104
There were many people of all kinds on the train. He was sitting near the toilet, and the smell of cheap cigarettes lingered in the air. He frowned and hugged the bag in his arms tighter.
He had a very light sleep. He was alone on the train, and he didn't dare to sleep soundly for fear that his bag would be stolen. He didn't fall asleep until two or three in the morning.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the train stopped in Yancheng, the capital. The boy suddenly woke up when he heard the voice of the broadcast station. When he stood up from the hard seat, his lower body was numb, and he got off the train stiffly.

Jiang Xu arrived in Yancheng a week early. He left the hotel, finished a sumptuous dinner, and arrived at the final venue.
Most of the finalists were professional players. The most eye-catching is undoubtedly Zhou Tingchuan, the No. 1 player in the Southeast Division. He was born in the SWL youth training camp and received the most systematic and scientific training in China. He became the main force of SWL just one year after entering the league. The strength is evident.
He looked away from Zhou Tingchuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, and saw Shen Chi walking to the seat alone with his bag on his back, unscrewed the water glass and took a sip. He noticed that the knuckles were particularly distinct, and they were a pair of hands that played the piano.
If he was asked to evaluate Shen Chi's style of play, there was only one word to describe it, a completely wild style of play. Because his hand speed and awareness were too amazing, there was no room for imitation. He was suddenly curious, who was Zhou Tingchuan facing Shen Chi? Win and lose.
Although the game has not officially started, the preparations for the game have already started live. As an uncommon single-player game, the popularity of the live broadcast room quickly reached the homepage of God Penguin.
"Come on, Zhou Tingchuan!"
"My mother, Zhou Tingchuan, is the champion, shouldn't anyone have any opinion?"
"No comment"
"Anyway, I bet"
"Basically it's Zhou Tingchuan who bet. The odds are the lowest, but there are actually a few who bet on Late. It's impossible if Zhou Tingchuan is thinking about it."
In front of the computer, Yan Xuexiao put down the book and frowned slightly, registered an Emperor Penguin account, and participated in the game betting for the first time.
In the middle of the live broadcast room, Duan Shi and Fang Shengquan partnered to explain, Duan Shi introduced the situation of the players: "In the fiercely competitive Southeast Division, Zhou Tingchuan scored 174 points to advance to the finals in first place. The winner is far ahead in betting numbers—"
When he said the last sentence, he glanced at the betting page, and said, "That's a little wrong, now Late's betting amount is the highest."
The barrage shook.
"It's only fifty bucks just now"
"Are Late fans so rich?"
"sour"
"Hey, Xiaohongmao's looks, it's not strange to recruit rich women, but the e-sports strength speaks."
Less than five minutes before the start of the game, the camera slowly swept across the players. There were 100 players from all over the country. Not everyone was familiar with Fang Shengquan.
He saw the teenager pulling out the competition seat, in stark contrast to the radiant professional player beside him: "Late looks tired."
"The Northwest Division is indeed inconvenient." Duan Shi explained, "I hope it will not affect the next game."
"Don't take it seriously, it was live broadcast yesterday"
"It only takes a few hours to buy a plane ticket"
"Jiang Xu is also from the Northwest. He arrived in Yancheng a week early to stay at the hotel. If he arrives today, he can't blame others for not having a good rest."
At nine o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.
Different from the regular four-player competition, there are hundreds of players participating, and there may be several battles at the same time. The director naturally focused the main scene on Zhou Tingchuan.
"Zhou Tingchuan is in good shape today." Fang Shengquan commented, "There is no problem with rhythm or awareness, and there is no professional player with shortcomings."
"Jiang Xu's performance has also improved a lot." Duan Shi said, "but unfortunately, he hit Zhou Tingchuan head-on and was taken away by a wave."
Duan Shi's voice fell, and a new battle broke out on the screen. Zhou Tingchuan keenly found Late ambushing on the hillside, and AWM shot him in the head.
"It's a pity that Late, I still don't have enough familiarity with the terrain, and I won't be able to get ranking points if I don't make it into the top ten." Fang Shengquan said regretfully.
"This is the difference between business and occupation." Duan Shi said, "Insufficient control of details often becomes the key to determining the battle situation."
"Rich lady and sister's money is thrown into the water"
"It hurts for a second"
"Don't worry, she smashed again"
After three games in the first half, Zhou Tingchuan ranked first with 75 points, Shen Chi ranked 20th with forty-three points, and the results were neither good nor bad.
"The level of the Northwest Division is really not good, the first place to the final is only 20 places"
"I feel like Late got distracted after getting a headshot in the first game, and he didn't play well in the next two games."
"The problem of too little experience in the competition, it is estimated that the self-confidence will also be hit. Putting it at the top of the Northwest Division and putting it in a group of professional players is ordinary."
Half an hour after the intermission, Shen Chi went to the lounge to open his backpack, took out a water glass, took a sip, and then turned on his phone.
"What is he gān?"
"The desert map in the second half, it seems to be reciting the desert map"
"Do you remember such a short time?"
"He definitely remembers the terrain. He only needs to remember the details, but it's hard to remember."
Shen Chi seemed to have returned to the days of memorizing piano scores, but the pressure made him calm, browsing from the westernmost prison to the easternmost military base, down to every tree and every stone.
Five minutes before the start of the second half, he closed his eyes and silently recited, turned off his mobile phone, and entered the arena again.
