Chapter 103 Finally, I know why Ye Xiu can compete.

Ye Qiu slept until 9:30 a.m. the next day.

After getting up, brushing his teeth, and washing his face, Ye Qiu called home.

My parents have gone to work at this time, so only my grandfather and Ye Xiu should be at home.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

"Hello, who is it?" A weak and weary voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Qiu's face immediately lit up with joy.

He called out affectionately, "Grandpa!"

"It's Xiao Qiu!"

Grandpa's voice was filled with undisguised joy.

"Xiao Qiu, today is July 4th. The last time you called was on May 8th. It's been two months. Why haven't you called Grandpa? Grandpa misses you."

Upon hearing Grandpa's words, an overwhelming emotion surged into my heart.

Ye Qiu's eyes welled up with tears.

Grandpa has severe Alzheimer's disease, and sometimes he can't even recognize his parents and Ye Xiu.

But he never forgot the name Ye Qiu, and he remembered the date of today and the last time he called home so clearly.

It's hard to believe that my grandfather is a severe case of Alzheimer's disease.

This also shows that Grandpa's favoritism towards Ye Qiu surpassed everything else.

Such favoritism was deeply moving for Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu tilted her head back, trying her best to hold back her tears, and then said with a smile, "Xiao Qiu misses Grandpa too."

"What good news did you have to tell Grandpa when you called back this time? You said last time that you were going to become a professional player, are you a professional player now?" Grandpa remembered everything about Ye Qiu very clearly.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm already a professional player. I represented my team in a professional match yesterday. If you search for Glory esports live stream, you might be able to see me on TV!" Ye Qiu said with great pride.

Grandpa gave a thumbs up: "My Xiaoqiu is amazing. Grandpa knows that Xiaoqiu will definitely become a gaming god."

"That's all thanks to Grandpa's excellent teaching," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

He and his grandfather often played video games, but his grandfather has Alzheimer's disease, so how could he still play video games?

So the games he played with his grandfather were all played by him on behalf of his grandfather.

Then Grandpa thought he was really good at playing games, and Ye Qiu called him a gaming master, which Grandpa readily accepted.

"Xiao Qiu will also become a great god in the future. Then Grandpa and Xiao Qiu will both be great gods. If the two of us great gods join forces, we will be invincible." Grandpa's old voice carried a hint of pride.

Ye Qiu couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Yes, my grandfather and I are invincible when we join forces."

The two laughed for a while before Ye Qiu asked, "By the way, Grandpa, is Ye Xiu home?"

Grandpa thought for a moment, then said, "Ye Xiu? Ye Xiu went out to work."

Ye Xiu, going to work?
Ye Qiu instantly realized that his grandfather had mistaken the person again.

So he quickly said, "Grandpa, you've got it wrong again. The one who went to work is the Great Demon King. I'm talking about whether Xiao Xiu is up yet."

Grandpa immediately remembered: "Right, right, the Great Demon King and his wife went to work, and Little Ye Xiu is still sleeping in bed."

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Grandpa, go and wake Ye Xiu up. I have something to say to him."

"Then wait for me, the master will be back soon."

Grandpa hung up the phone and then went to Ye Xiu's room to call him.

"Okay, Grandpa, take your time, there's no rush," Ye Qiu said into the phone, but his grandfather had already passed away and could no longer hear his voice.

Not long after, Ye Xiu's voice came through the phone: "You still have the nerve to call home?"

Ye Qiu chuckled: "How am I ashamed? I wasn't the one who lost the match last night." Ye Xiu snorted: "You know I wasn't talking about the match."

"Then what did you say?" Ye Qiu asked.

“Grandpa’s memory is getting worse and worse. He can’t even recognize me and Mom and Dad anymore, but he still talks about you every day. You should go home and spend some time with him, and then let me play Glory matches in your place,” Ye Xiu said.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. He thought Ye Xiu was going to say something, but it turned out he was waiting for him here: "Ye Xiu, you're dreaming."

"I'm serious, you can ignore me and Mom and Dad, but Grandpa, and Xiaodian, are you really not going to come back and see them?" Ye Xiu's tone carried a hint of reproach.

"What's the rush? We have at least two games to play in Beijing this season. I'll make time to go back and see Grandpa and Xiaodian then." Ye Qiu already had his own plans.

Both Team Royal Wind and Team Tiny Herb are based in Beijing.

When they go to Beijing for a competition, they can go home to see their grandfather.

"But you, instead of studying properly and being your parents' good boy, you run off to play games every day. Ye Xiu, you're flirting with death!" Ye Qiu sneered.

"Testing my sister, do you even know what my middle school entrance exam scores were?" Ye Xiu said with a sneer.

"Last in the class?" Ye Qiu said.

"Bullshit! I was first in the whole grade, top five in the city, and got into a top high school in Beijing with a scholarship. Otherwise, why do you think my parents bought me a computer? I earned it myself!" Ye Xiu said.

"Wow, that's impressive! But if you keep playing games all day, just wait for your grades to plummet!"

"Get lost! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

Ye Xiu hung up the phone immediately.

Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Ye Qiu smiled faintly.

He finally understood why Ye Xiu could still compete.

So this guy studied so hard to play Honor of Kings!

Playing Glory while also getting first place in the grade, Ye Xiu is really ruthless.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu left the dormitory and went to the team's training room.

The Glory League is in full swing. Although there aren't many people who enjoy watching esports competitions right now, and most of them are Glory players and students, people who haven't played Glory generally don't pay attention to these things.

However, it is undeniable that the professional players of Honor of Kings treat esports competitions as a career to strive for.

Every professional player harbors a dream: to become an esports star, to rise above others, and to prove to those who look down on them, think that playing games is a waste of time, and to show those who say they will never amount to anything that playing games is not a sign of a lack of ambition!

However, reality is indeed cruel.

The Glory League didn't generate as much buzz as expected. Apart from the two star teams, Happy and Royal Wind, which had some popularity, there were very few people betting on the matches of other teams.

For matches like Blue Rain vs. Jade Dynasty and Tiny Herb vs. Misty Rain on the second day, ticket sales were extremely poor, with fewer than a thousand people attending.

"That's really pathetic. There aren't even a thousand people. At this rate, won't the team be operating at a loss?"

Looking at the data reported by Honor's official website, Su Muqiu couldn't help but sigh.

There were over 6,000 spectators at their Happy match last night.

The match between Blue Rain and Tiny Herb only had a little over 800 spectators.

This gap is too big.

How much ticket revenue can you get with over 800 audience members?

They probably won't even be able to afford the venue fee.

"That's how it is in the domestic esports scene now. You just have to persevere, and once you get through it, things will be fine," Ye Qiu said.

"It's tough. Esports players can only survive by making money in the game. Look at the Royal Wind team. They are a veteran esports team. As soon as a game comes out, they immediately join in to make money. They participate in game competitions and play games to earn money at the same time. They can do both without any problems."

Duan Fei looked at Ye Qiu: "Captain Ye, how about our Happy team also makes money in the game? Training every day feels like a waste of time."
