The E-Sports Circle's Toxic Assembly Camp-Chapter 88.1: The E-Sports Circle’s Toxic Assembly Camp .1

Jian Ye’s younger brother was called Jian Ning and he was 16 years old. The place they previously ate at was closer to the hotel so Jian Ye directly brought Jiang Ning back with him. Half an hour later, a group of people sat by the bed in Jian Ye’s room, listening to this conversation in silence.

“Shouldn’t you be in class today? Hanging out at night—aren’t you going to class tomorrow?”

“It is none of your business!”

“Dad hasn’t been home for a while. It seems you’ve become wild again in this period of time?”

“Is this any of your business?”

“How did you provoke those gangsters? Didn’t I tell you to have less involvement with those guys?”

“Have you scolded enough? Shut up if it is enough.”

“What is that smell from your hair? Why do you put on so much hairspray? Come here, I’ll wash it for you.”

“Go away, don’t touch me!”

Jian Ye obviously didn’t have the patience to preach and he didn’t care about his brother’s attitude. He directly picked up this teenager by the collar and dragged him into the bathroom. A moment later, there was the faint sound of water. It was occasionally mixed with the teenager’s words of resistance. “I said don’t touch me! Give it to me. I’ll do it myself!”

The room was silent for a moment. A moment later, Gu Luo spoke emotionally. “Brother Gun’s little brother seems… very rebellious?”

“Have you ever heard the saying? Your head can be broken but your hair can’t be messed up.” Bi Yaohua had a special empathy. “From my perspective, the attitude of this little brother is already very good. If anyone dared to mess with my hair when I was that age, I would’ve taken out a knife and fought them hard!”

Chen Yushen didn’t speak but he instinctively glanced at Bi Yaohua’s colorful hair.

Jian Ning’s little body obviously couldn’t fight against his older brother. After a while, he was carried out again, pressed into a chair by the window and forced to accept his hair being blown by the hairdryer.

He couldn’t bear the eyes of other people and glared at everyone fiercely. “What are you looking at?”

Seeing the face of this small Brother Gun showing such an expression, they all felt like their hearts were hit by a critical blow. So soft yet fierce—Brother Gun was cute when he was a kid!

After all of this, Jian Ye finally remembered to introduce the situation at home.

It was only now that everyone found out that the parents of the two brothers divorced when they were young. Their mother remarried so the two brothers always followed their father. Since their father usually needed to go to work in other places, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Jian Ye had raised Jian Ning since childhood.

Since the family was poor, Jian Ye gave up the opportunity to study and roamed outside. Later, things happened and he suddenly hated the days of wandering around. He accidentally got into contact with e-sports and chose to wash his hands of his past. He embarked on the path of a professional player.

During the whole process of Jian Ye’s explanation, Jian Ning kept his head down silently. Finally, he sneered. “There is no need to talk like you’re so great. Who wanted you to sacrifice yourself to support my studies…”

“No one asked for it but you were raised anyway. Don’t waste your brother’s money.” Jian Ye was accustomed to his brother’s attitude and rubbed this teenager’s head. “You are studying in high school. No matter what, you have to take the university entrance examination. Once you get the admission certificate, you can ask me not to manage you and I’ll be happy to do so.”

Jian Ning frowned at the words and turned his head away from the big hand wreaking havoc on his hair. “Originally, you played games with me. Then in the end, you sneaked away to play professionally. You have the ability to walk away so don’t pretend to care about me!”

Bi Yaohua listened for a long time and heard something that was to his taste. “Gun Gun, your brother also plays Burning Hot?”

“Yes, he plays… in fact, I started playing a support to protect him in the game.” Speaking of this, Jian Ye did feel a bit guilty and he cleared his throat. “Later, I couldn’t mix with those people anymore. I had to find some work to support my family. I saw the team recruitment and tried it out. I didn’t expect to be admitted.”

Then he looked back at Jian Ning. “Besides, I’m not saying you can’t play professionally. You just have to take the university entrance examination first, you know?”

“It’s true. There are many ways to retreat if you have admission to a university.” Bi Yaohua nodded. “Playing professionally isn’t something that everyone can do. A magnificent army with thousands of men and horses can cross a single-log bridge but it isn’t known if the path on the other side of the bridge leads to the Underworld.”

He was obviously thinking about his own ‘miserable experience’ and the others suppressed their laughter. Only Jian Ning was dissatisfied. “You don’t need to worry about that. Many teams have contacted me.”

This was true. In private, he had indeed received many invitations to try out for teams but the field of e-sports was becoming more and more formal. He was a minor and needed a guardian’s signature for the contract to take effect. Jian Ye and his father didn’t give permission so he had to let it go.

He must be a top passerby player to make the clubs interested. Gu Luo couldn’t help feeling curious. “Brother Gun, is your little brother’s ranking in the national server high?”

Jian Ye answered, “Don’t listen to his bragging. It is just in the top 200 or so.”

Jian Ning replied, “Labor and Capital Number One in the Country.”

Jian Ye frowned. “Why are you so pretentious at a young age?”

Jian Ning’s eyes were full of displeasure and he repeated, “Labor and Capital Number One in the Country is my current game ID. You can check my ranking! It’s been a long time since I’ve risen from the top 200. Every day, you say that you are doing this for my own good but you don’t pay attention to me at all!”

Jian Ye was taken aback by the sudden questioning and the emotions in his eyes instantly became more complicated. Since playing professionally, he had indeed put less focus on Jian Ning.

Lin Yan, who had been playing with his mobile phone, paused slightly. Why did he feel like this ID was a bit familiar?

Jian Ye opened the app and inquired, “You have risen higher than 200 so what are you now? I haven’t seen you even around the 100s?”

Jian Ning was sulky. “…Keep flipping forward.”

Jian Ye’s brow furrowed. “Are you really in the top 100?”

Jian Ning’s expression was strained. He saw that Jian Ye hadn’t turned it over and couldn’t help adding another sentence. “Can’t you pull it directly to the top?”

Jian Ye glanced at him suspiciously and pulled it to the top of the rankings. Finally, he saw the glittering ID with special effects at the top of the ranking and was stunned. “You… when did you get first?”

Bi Yaohua was shocked. “First in the national server? Gun Gun’s little brother is so awesome!”

Lin Yan finally remembered. He had seen this ID in the chat history of the professional player group.

All eyes glanced over after hearing Jian Ye’s sentence. Jian Ning couldn’t hide the proud look in his eyes but he tried very hard to suppress it. Finally, he spoke in a pretend casual tone. “I thought you would’ve discovered it already. How about it? Aren’t I more competitive than you? Now do you still think I can’t play professionally?”

Jian Ye was silent. He obviously didn’t know how to answer. Jian Ning stared at his brother, expression full of stubbornness and challenge.

Lin Yan also opened the app. In the blink of an eye, he flipped through Jian Ning’s recent battle records. He was able to reach the top of the national server and there was no doubt about his strength.

Jian Ning usually played as a shooter and jungler. The rankings in the game were different from professional games. Teammates were random and the development of the shooter was more conducive to output in a team battle. The rhythm of a jungler was also crucial. It was indeed easier to gain points in these two positions.

Lin Yan closed his phone and had some ideas in his heart. The unexpected situation that occurred with Gu Luo last time in the finals of Burning Hot Assembly actually made him consider arranging a substitute for the team.

However, they were a new team. Not only would a substitute have a psychological impact on the official players but their training schedule was already overly full. There wasn’t much time to allow the players to practice cooperating with the substitute.

Lin Yan thought about it and temporarily put the recruitment of new players on hold. Now this little brother of Jian Ye’s family seemed to be a gift specially sent to him by the heavens. The teenager in the rebellious period was covered with blatant thorns. This situation seemed to be a difficult matter that couldn’t be decided but in fact, it was easy to handle.

Jian Ye was obviously a bit shaken under Jian Ning’s long stare. “In fact, it’s no use no matter how much I say. You still have to decide on your future yourself. If you are really determined to drop out of school, I will go back and talk with our father.”

Jian Ning had always quarreled with his brother about studying. He thought he would be rejected as ruthlessly as before but he didn’t expect Jian Ye to suddenly relent.

He was stunned at succeeding. “I…”

The word ‘okay’ was silent for a long time.

“You don’t necessarily have to drop out of school to play professionally.” Jing Yuanzhou abruptly opened his mouth as he looked up from the phone he had been playing with. “Just ask the coach for help and he can give you a solution.”

Lin Yan knew that Jing Yuanzhou had already guessed his idea. He couldn’t help staring at this person in amusement before clearing his throat. “It isn’t difficult. Just directly sign with our GH.”
