Pushing The Edge Chapter 1

Licking a little milk bag [eSports]

"The highest transfer price in the history of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was born, Chen Da transferred to TNT."

"BFour lost a great player after winning the Melbourne Championship and may miss the PGI qualifiers."

"Brothers quarrel, the e-sports world's F4 cannot escape the punishment of heaven."

"Behind Chen Da's departure: He was suppressed by Bo Shen in all aspects, and he needs to become famous as soon as possible."

...

The PUBGZIMO Australian Invitational has come to an end, and BF has once again dominated the headlines in the domestic e-sports circle. Magazines, Weibo, forums and fan groups have all been swept up in it. However, the topic of the storm is not about BF's victory this time, but the transfer of BF's main player Daniel Bu.

No, now it should be more precise to call him "former main player".

BFour is currently the most popular e-sports club in China. Among them, the PUBG division is the star among stars, the top among top players, and the C position in the e-sports circle. No matter how much praise it receives, it is not an exaggeration.

The four official members are Ethan Bo, Ryan Bai, Nathan Bei and Daniel Bu. When they served in the CF division five years ago, they were invincible and cooperated seamlessly, winning championships in various international and domestic competitions.

At that time, the club was not called "BFour". No one remembered what it was called. It was just a combination of the initials of a few words. When Ethan Bo led the team to win the first CF professional league trophy in China, the club decided to change its name to the names of these four people. Because their last names all started with the letter "B", they were called "BFour", but female fans insisted on calling them "ourBF". Over time, the outside world referred to the team as "BF", and jokingly called them "boyfriends".

Daniel Bu's transfer undoubtedly disrupted the internal balance of BF. The six-year comrades-in-arms broke up just like that, and the outside world sighed.

The transfer incident has been making a lot of noise these days, but the BF base is surprisingly calm, with a tendency towards retirement.

Located on the second floor of the BF training base in Central, Nathan Bei dragged over the empty seat at the next table, crossed his legs, and sat awkwardly on the gaming chair, tilting his neck and lowering his eyes to browse the forum, easily squeezing out three chins.

"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Looking through the comments on the forum discussing the transfer incident, Nathan Bei would pound the edge of the table excitedly from time to time, and occasionally sneer: "Boast, I see you keep on bragging."

He reported all of them as he scrolled down.

Captain Ethan Bo and manager Lucas Shen came in together.

Lucas Shen was furious when he saw the 200-pound piece of meat. He threw an e-sports magazine at him and said, "Sit down! What if someone sees you during a live broadcast? Don't worry about your image as an idol?"

Nathan Bei raised his arm to block the magazine, and it fell to the ground. He brushed his hair back in a self-righteous manner, and said with pride: "If my beautiful face is damaged, I wonder how you can make money."

Lucas Shen was used to his shamelessness. He bent down to pick up the magazine on the ground and spoke to it seriously: "You are Pang Nathan Bei's face, right? Pang Nathan Bei doesn't want you anymore."

"Hey! What do you mean?" Nathan Bei struggled to sit up from the gaming chair, tried, and fell back again.

The fat around the waist is too thick, making it difficult to exert force.

Lucas Shen shook his head and rolled his eyes, saying he couldn't bear to watch. "In order to sell you, I have to buy chicken legs for the photo retoucher every time. If you had 10% of Ethan Bo's looks, our club would have been prosperous a long time ago. The treadmill is placed in the gym, is it just for decoration?! Why don't you run and lose some weight?"

Nathan Bei was not convinced. He put down his legs and sat up straight by holding on to the armrest of the seat. He believed that Lucas Shen was looking at him with tinted glasses, so he asked Ethan Bo to give a fair explanation: "Ethan Bo, tell me, am I good-looking or ugly?"

Ethan Bo sat down in front of the computer and chuckled: "You are somewhere in between the good-looking type and the ugly type..."

Nathan Bei slammed the table and looked at the manager with a sharp gaze: "Did you hear that? Official certification! It's not difficult for me..."

Before he finished speaking, Ethan Bo opened the screen saver and added the second half of the sentence: "What an ugly type."

Nathan Bei fell off his chair and rolled on the ground, sad to the point of deformity: "You only target fat people, you only target fat people! I want to go with Daniel Bu!"

"That has to be someone who wants you." Lucas Shen was poked with his bad thoughts, and then he remembered the purpose of coming here. He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and asked: "Where is Ryan Bai?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Nathan Bei bravely climbed up by holding on to the table: "He's still downstairs. When I came up after dinner, I saw him in the training room of the youth team."

Lucas Shen frowned: "Why is he going there?"

"Teach the kids how to play games." Nathan Bei took out a handful of peanuts from the drawer out of boredom. "After returning from Australia, the coach had three days off. Ryan Bai kept going there. The coach of the youth team thought he was going to lose his job and was very nervous."

Lucas Shen ignored all that and pulled Daniel Bu's chair over to sit down, informing them of the latest discussion: "You all know the situation. During the peak period, some people transferred and the division suffered a lot of losses. The biggest problem now is that there is no one to take over. If we can't find anyone, we really don't need to go to PGI. Forget about the competition. We, BFour, may even become Before."

Nathan Bei threw up a peanut, opened his mouth to catch it, and brushed off the red crumbs on his team uniform: "Then quickly divide the bonus. My father left me three acres of land in my hometown. Before spring comes, I can go home and sow hope..."

"I hope you're a big-headed ghost!" Lucas Shen slapped him on the head, extremely fiercely, "If you don't take it seriously, I'll teach you what despair is first!"

Nathan Bei knew that if he continued to be naughty, he would really get angry, so he shrank his neck, turned around, and behaved himself a lot.

Lucas Shen continued what he hadn't finished saying: "Many professional players have submitted their resumes, but Michael Zhou and I have looked at them and found that they are all from small clubs, and there is no one who stands out. But the good news is that our youth training players are all good, and we have found many good seedlings among them. Michael Zhou has already selected some candidates, leaving four people to form the second team and one more to take over."

Nathan Bei didn't hold out much hope, and said frankly: "No matter who comes, it won't be helpful. Team cooperation cannot be established in a few months. Fei Chen, that B@st@ard, just left, leaving such a big gap. How can a kid fill it?"

Ethan Bo turned around in his swivel chair and propped up his chin, and asked in a very Buddhist way: "Just find someone who can use a computer."

Lucas Shen laughed: "Ethan Bo, we won't look for someone like that."

Ethan Bo turned back and opened Aimtastic to continue practicing his shooting skills: "Try it for a few months first. If it doesn't work, we'll just sacrifice ourselves at the beginning. The rest will depend on the three of us. It won't be a problem for us to get a spot in the Chinese division."

Nathan Bei clasped his fists towards him and said, "My brother Ye is a tough guy who doesn't talk much."

After knowing Ethan Bo's plan, Nathan Bei couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for the kid who was about to take the top spot. On the day of the qualifiers, the kid might have been shot in the head by Ethan Bo just after jumping off the plane, and he had to watch the whole game from OB. Such inhumane treatment might have left a shadow on his career before it even started.

Lucas Shen thought he was joking, and patted his chest and promised solemnly: "There is a kid in the youth training team who is really good. He is excellent in all aspects. He is talented and hardworking. His solo is better than the youth training team coach. You should guide him more. At least he won't be a drag if he takes over the raiding position."

Ethan Bo tapped his fingertips lightly on the mouse, showing interest: "Did you bring the information?"

"I didn't bring it." Lucas Shen picked up the phone next to him and flipped through it. "But I saved the students' assessment information and will share it with you in the group."

Ethan Bo opened the green icon on the lower right side of the computer, received the file, and opened the Excel spreadsheet.

Each student's information is integrated into a separate workbook. The top few rows are photos and basic information, and below are assessment data, including various ratings and KDAs.

The first page is the information of the "seed player" that Lucas Shen strongly recommended, a 17-year-old boy named Adrian Yun.

After taking a quick look at his statistics, Ethan Bo was secretly surprised. Such results were considered outstanding among professional players, but he didn't know the level of the youth team's training matches, so he had no way to compare.

Finally, after seeing his ranking in the Asian server, Ethan Bo was quite satisfied.

"This kid is good." Nathan Bei slid to the side of Ethan Bo on his chair, looked at his computer, and asked Lucas Shen who was standing beside him, "Where did you find such a good player? If a player like this can be trained, even if he can't reach Daniel Bu's level, it's quite suitable to arrange him in the team."

Lucas Shen moved to the other side of Ethan Bo, looked at his expression and asked, "Is this child okay?"

"Well... let's meet each other if there's a chance." Ethan Bo rolled his roller skates up and down as a gesture of affirmation.

"Okay! There will be a final assessment next week, and if he can get first place based on the points ranking, I will send him to you." Lucas Shen looked at the time, "I have something else to do, so I will go to the headquarters to make a report, so I won't delay you."

As he walked out the door, he was still muttering: "After Daniel Bu left, there was a mess..."

"Don't move the mouse. Let me take another look." Nathan Bei leaned against the table, trying to see more clearly. His fleshy elbows pressed against the row of keyboards below, and then he lifted his elbows away from the table as if they were burned by fire.

Ethan Bo glanced at the pressed keyboard, said nothing, opened the drawer, took out a disposable alcohol cotton swab, opened the packaging bag, wiped the keyboard, and threw it into the trash can.

Nathan Bei raised his elbow and said awkwardly: "I'll go to my computer to check it."

He kicked his legs and slipped away sitting on the gaming chair.

Ethan Bo looked at the computer screen again and the EXCEL spreadsheet had turned to the next page.

Nathan Bei pressed the shortcut key.

He slid the mouse, wanting to directly press off the red cross in the upper right corner, but as the page rose to the top, revealing a two-inch photo, Ethan Bo suddenly stopped moving.

He stared at the photo for several seconds, taking in every detail. After he could even see the red teardrop mole at the corner of the person's eye, Ethan Bo narrowed his eyes, turned his chair in a direction, intentionally or unintentionally blocking any possible sight from behind, and looked at the student introduction.

[Name: Connor Tang]

Age: 19

No one knew what Ethan Bo was thinking, but his expression showed signs of relaxation.

I thought he was underage.

【S3x: Male】

【Id：Candi】

【Contact information: None】

【Place of Origin: None】

【Father: None】

[Mother: None]

【Home address: None】

Ethan Bo frowned when he saw the missing information except name, age and gender. He wondered if the staff had missed it when entering the information.

Looking at the assessment data below, he is on par with the seeded player Adrian Yun, but suffers a disadvantage in the solo competition, so he is currently ranked second among the students.

But her ranking in the Asian server is around 15th, higher than Adrian Yun.

Ethan Bo took one last look at the ID photo with a blue background. Before closing the document, he placed the mouse on the ID photo, right-clicked, and saved it locally.

He obviously has the face to make it in the entertainment industry, but he chose to join the e-sports circle. Ethan Bo knew that the shrewd Lucas Shen would definitely sign him.
