Chapter 33 A friend is enough
Yang Hai felt a little dizzy, so he went to the balcony outside the cocktail hall to blow the cold wind. Generally speaking, he doesn't drink, but when he heard what the captain and the others said just now, Yang Hai still drank a lot of wine.
When he arrived at the balcony, the cool breeze slid across his hot cheeks, Yang Hai felt a little more comfortable, but when he woke up, he realized that there was already someone smoking there, which was VIVA.
"Smoking is not good for your health." Yang Hai walked to VIVA and advised: "Don't smoke."
VIVA smiled, and that face seemed more fierce than when he had no expression, but Yang Hai could feel VIVA's kindness.
VIVA threw the cigarette on the ground, stomped it out, and whispered: "I know... I've quit smoking for many years. But today I'm in a good mood and can't help it...haha."
William happened to walk to the balcony to get some breath. When he heard Yang Hai and VIVA talking, he hesitated for a moment, and gently hid behind the wind curtain on the balcony.
William is actually like TIGER. He doesn't agree with Yang Hai dealing with VIVA because it has a great impact on his reputation when it comes to VIVA. Moreover, William really hates VIVA from the bottom of his heart. It is really difficult for a person who disrespects the game to be tolerant of him, even Prince William, who has always been kind to others.
It’s not good to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations…but today’s VIVA is indeed curious.
"POSEIDON..." VIVA looked at the night view of Santa Fe from the balcony and said, "Thank you."
"Haha, are you talking about the daytime?"
"No... although that should be thankful for you." VIVA took a deep breath: "I just want to thank you for trusting me."
"..." Yang Hai looked at this somewhat fragile man and could not connect him with the tough guy who never retreated.
"VIVA, can you tell me about your affairs?" Yang Hai asked seriously. "I think there is no wind or waves, and the matter is..."
VIVA looked at Yang Hai, and after a long time, he nodded slowly.
"good."
It seemed that the air outside made him a little cold, VIVA shrank his neck and wrapped his clothes tightly.
"About participating in gambling, betting on the fact that I lost to earn extra money. I was wronged." VIVA narrowed his eyes, and his words were trembling in the cold wind. Yang Hai could not suppress his anger below the voice: "No, the word "wrongfulness" is used inappropriately, I was framed."
Yang Hai and William were both stunned.
In Yang Hai's shocked eyes, VIVA began to slowly tell the story—
I was born in a small village in Norway. My family is quite ordinary, and my parents are also ordinary people. Like other children, I go to school every day and have the same happiness and worries as them until one day I went to the game hall.
I will never forget that day. It was an afternoon when school was just over, and the clouds in the sky were reddish by the setting sun.
The first time I played a game, I was still playing arcades, but after just playing a few games, they were no longer my opponent.
That was the first time I experienced the joy of games. I fell in love with that feeling. Whether it was win or lose, it made me feel refreshed.
Did you know? Sometimes, I think the game is really a terrible thing, like a curse being cast. Once you fall in love with it, you will never be able to leave it. From that day on, the life of a confused teenager ended. I have never felt so strongly, and I feel that I should have done this in my life.
But my father wanted me to join the army.
I don’t want to go to the army, but it costs a lot of money to go to college, especially the game major. There are too many people applying for the game major and there is no teacher to teach me. I studied it alone and I will definitely not pass the exam.
But how could I give up? When I touched the remote pole for the first time, I knew that I would never be able to live without him in my life.
I am in the army, serving and studying by myself. I have no teachers and no one is willing to teach me, so I have to watch DEMO by myself and think by myself.
Then... when I was 20 years old, I applied for retirement from the army and then went to the draft.
I didn't expect that I was actually selected, although it was the second round.
At that time, I was not the person I am now. I was so happy that I couldn't fall asleep for several nights when I was selected.
But God made me a little joke...
My father died of illness, and my mother was too sad and worried and needed a large amount of treatment. But what can I do?
I gave all the money to the hospital and tried my best to make money.
POSEIDON, do you know that for a professional player who has no tricks, the fastest place to make money is—
"Underground Casino." William stood out from behind the wind curtain.
"..." VIVA looked at William and stopped talking.
"Although this is a bit rash, but... can I stay and listen?" William asked sincerely.
"No." VIVA turned his head and looked at the traffic that Santa Fe received, and said coldly: "You came out earlier. I won't cause trouble for you in the face of POSEIDON. Get rid of it."
"VIVA?" Yang Hai shook his head: "Don't do this."
"I don't want to talk to those who hate me." VIVA refused to let go.
William handed Yang Hai an apology look, looked at VIVA and stopped talking, but still lowered his head and walked out.
VIVA looked at Prince William's back coldly, snorted, and said, "I think he is tactful."
"VIVA, do you hate William?" Yang Hai couldn't help asking.
"It's not very appropriate, it should be particularly annoying." VIVA tightly held the fence of the balcony: "A heartthrob like William never understands the mood of a stray dog like me. He just says something sarcastic and pretends to be a hypocritical expression."
"Maybe William just misunderstood you-"
"Misunderstanding?" VIVA bit his lip: "Since it's a misunderstanding, why doesn't he apologize?"
"this……"
"Yes, how could Prince William have any connection with a scum like me? Not to mention apologizing. A well-dressed prince, who is in a beautiful manner, would he say sorry to him because he stepped on the tail of a stray dog?" VIVA looked at the dark night sky, and a few stars flashed with dim light: "Since that's the case, don't be involved. He is relaxed, and I am relaxed."
"Has something happened?" Yang Hai asked.
"William used a high-ranking word when I was most painful-" VIVA stopped: "Haha, why do you say this? There are many people who say bad things about me, POSEIDON, but William has many supporters, so what he said is particularly traumatizing. Maybe he has forgotten what he said. Anyway, everyone has said bad things about VIVA. VIVA is so bad that people in the world are punished. What's the big deal? This is not a big deal, and you don't need to remember."
"VIVA..." Yang Hai didn't know how to comfort him.
"William is no different from others." VIVA said lightly: "But he guessed that it was an underground gambling game. That was the fastest way to have fun except for shooting advertisements and transfers when professional players wanted to make money. At that time, I was just an unknown person, transfers... who would want me? There is no way to talk about advertising. In fact, my skills today were learned in underground gambling games."
Yang Hai was stunned.
"I didn't learn much useful things in the draft training camp. That year's training camp was awful, and no professional players with real talents came." VIVA took a deep breath: "I taught myself before, and being able to be selected by the club was entirely based on talent. In the underground betting competition, I participated in an underground team, and from a NEWB, a teammate's nightmare, the gospel of the opponent, gradually became stronger. In the underground betting competition where I could not be named or looked, I little by little.
I absorbed the knowledge and skills of every opponent and every teammate, and finally became the captain of the underground team, earning a lot of money for the boss of the underground team. Of course, I also got a commission. They all said that VIVA's skills and movements are not standardized. Indeed, I have not received any systematic training. All my technical movements are wild ways, of course they are not standardized, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can make money, thank goodness, my mother's illness has finally been cured.
"At the same time, my performance in the club is getting better and better. At the Game Festival that year, I defeated 1Q24, which debuted in the same year, and won the Best Rookie Award. My mother's illness was cured, and my position in the club gradually stabilized, and everything was getting better." VIVA was a little lost: "I thought I would continue like this. But... you know, POSEIDON, I was caught in the underground gambling competition, and the consequences were very serious. My mother's illness was cured, and I decided not to participate in the underground gambling competition anymore.
"But sometimes... it's difficult to wash your hands in the golden basin. In the words of you Chinese, this is the world.
"That boss needs to make money, and I need me to help him make more money. Which thug can be better than me? K and they are disdainful to participate in underground gambling competitions. Obviously, they are not short of money. Only professional players who lack money will participate in the game without light.
"So, my conversation with him broke down. POSEIDON, things in the world are so ridiculous. When I was nervous and unruly, there was nothing; when I wanted to follow the rules, all the troubles came.
"My boss who has always heard the sound and disappeared is actually a director of WGA, and he has known my identity for a long time. I don't know what methods he used... but it's not a difficult task for him. Things are so ridiculous. The director of WGA is actually the boss of an underground gambling team... Can you imagine that the custodian is nothing more than this.
"I think that guy will definitely be a big trouble." VIVA sighed: "So, the idea of quitting was even more urgent. He threatened me to expose my participation in the underground betting game. Then, POSEIDON, I surrendered."
Yang Hai was a little stunned. Will VIVA be associated with the word surrender? This is simply incredible!
"This is the last thing I have done in my life." The blue veins on VIVA's temples jumped, "Later, he used me to make a lot of money, of course, to give me benefits and sweetness, and I donated all the money to charity. Under his planning, I became his number one thug. For a moment, honors such as the best newcomer in the league rushed towards me, those trophies... I smiled in front of the media, and then the first thing I did when I got home was to burn it. Later, by chance, I discovered that the beast used the money loopholes in the federal relief area to launder money - the prerequisite for successful money laundering is that I wanted to win a game in the league. Because he secretly used huge sums of money to manipulate the handicap in Las Vegas, and as long as I win, everything would be easy to say.
"I did another thing that I proudest in my life. I deliberately lost that game, which made him lose a lot. I don't know how much I lost him this time, but from his reaction, I can guess a little." VIVA showed a hideous smile on his face: "This is the first time in my life that I deliberately lost in a game, but... it's really good!
"Of course, I fell out of favor. He abandoned me. Of course, this guy would not show mercy to a person who dared to betray him. The chip on the back of his neck made him dare not do anything to kill people, but with his power, it was enough to deal with me. So, the newcomer King VIVA, which people praised, fell into depravity.
"The whole world is hostile voice, you see, POSEIDON, this is the ridiculous thing in this world. I did what I think is evil, and then I got the praise of people; I did what I think is justice, and then became the incarnation of evil." VIVA's face became more and more ferocious: "Haha, this is not the most ridiculous, the most ridiculous thing is... Some inexplicable things have become my work. It's like al-Qaeda."
Yang Hai remained silent.
"Today, this big guy did something shameful, and then he ordered someone to reveal his words. Wow! The gossip media was very excited. In order to satisfy the public's desire, they wrote such a report: This matter is suspected to be closely related to VIVA! It's like a thousand years ago, a country did something dirty and then pushed all of these things to Al Qaeda. What a good wind shield! How could a hypocritical big man do anything? Of course, such bad things must be done by a big bad guy like VIVA. Splash dirty water on me, and everyone was satisfied. Those who did bad things were satisfied, and the onlookers were also satisfied. As for me..." VIVA gritted his teeth: "It's just a homeless dog, who cares about my feelings... except you."
Yang Hai held VIVA's hand, his hand trembled. Yang Hai held it hard, as if hoping to pass on his strength. VIVA's tense muscles gradually became relaxed.
"For a moment, I really wanted to say something like that guy TONY: 'There is nothing in this world worth trading at the cost of defilement games.' Then I left WGA and went to the Clothor. But... I still didn't." VIVA closed his eyes: "What King Nuo said has been inspiring me. Although this is a world where good rewards are rewarded for doing bad things, do good things are rewarded, but do you know what King Nuo said..."
"This world is beautiful and worth our struggle. I believe in the second half." Yang Hai replied softly.
"That's the sentence." VIVA opened his eyes, his deep eyes extremely firm: "For many years, this sentence has supported me, and I believe that only time can prove my greatness, not to mention... I did not make any mistakes, why did I leave? I am unwilling to give up!"
Yang Hai suddenly hated himself because he was once one of the countless people who hated VIVA. But this does not mean that the law does not blame the public or anything.
How much has this man been borne and what has he endured? How did he persist, just for the passion in his heart...
Suddenly, Yang Hai understood what King Nuo said, you have passed the technical level, but you still need more experience.
If I were VIVA, could I stick with it like him?
Yang Hai never thought about the possibility that VIVA was deceiving himself. He said that, how could a person who could play such a game be a bad person?
"The rumors are getting more and more mysterious, and they are becoming more and more popular." VIVA said: "Later, people speculated that I had a unclear relationship with the federal top leaders, because I had committed so many 'crimes', but I never had enough evidence to arrest me. Even people like Prince William came out to be a tongue woman, haha, ridiculous. How dare those big guys let me be arrested? The federal central processing unit is so fair that it is cold. If I am guilty, it is guilty. If I am arrested, once I prove that those things were not done by me, these
Who should I ask for as a scapegoat? Which scapegoat is as useful as me? What is the credibility of the government? So, I became what I am now. And there are more conspiracies waiting for me. In this life, I have no hope of clearing my grievances, but only time can prove my greatness," VIVA's expression was extremely strong: "Hundreds of years later, when people mention the Age of Heavenly Kings, they will definitely remember me. I am a great professional player, and those who only know how to play conspiracy are nothing!"
"VIVA." Yang Hai looked at VIVA seriously: "I believe in you."
VIVA turned his back and said lightly: "Thank you...you."
The evening breeze blew, and the tears on his face quickly evaporated. VIVA felt that the depression and grievances of several years were not worth mentioning at this moment.
Chapter completed!
