Chapter 60 The Decision to Become a Professional

Lin Cheng is a homebody. Apart from taking a half-day to go to the gym to sweat, he stayed in the apartment playing games the rest of the time.

Han Shuyan came back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Lin Cheng finally said goodbye to the days of ordering takeout every day and lived with Han Shuyan with peace of mind.

Xiao Tong did not wait until the end of the Chinese New Year and returned to Seoul two days later.

After returning, Miss Xiao naturally had to exchange some experiences in China with Lin Cheng.

"Wow~~~ I didn't do anything when I went home this year. I just stayed at home and watched TV."

Lin Cheng pouted, "Come on, you at least went back to Cheng's house, but I didn't even see the door of the house."

"Hehe, that's right."

Hearing Lin Cheng say this, Xiao Tong felt balanced all of a sudden.

People's misfortunes are relative, and their own happiness is often built on the pain of others.

Xiao Tong: "Hey! Because of this epidemic, the school has decided to give the green light to our international students' application for leave of absence. What does your school say?"

Lin Cheng shook his head, "It's still uncertain what the current situation will be like. This thing is so contagious. If it gets serious, I'm afraid it will be a problem whether the school can open."

"No way?"

Xiao Tong is more optimistic, "There seem to be only two patients in South Korea now, and they are in Daegu. It shouldn't get to that point, right?"

"The small number of people now does not mean that there will be small numbers in the future. Our country has not curbed the momentum of infection in time. Do you think these Korean scoundrels can withstand it?"

Lin Cheng's worries are not unreasonable. Although there have been confirmed patients in South Korea, the handsome guys in Seoul still have no sense of crisis and are happy as they should.

After entering February, due to the severe domestic epidemic situation, the LPL official has announced the postponement of the event, and the Korean Riot has also decided to continue the LCK without spectators.

But no one expected that after mid-February, when the domestic epidemic momentum had been effectively controlled, the epidemic in South Korea suddenly broke out.

Seoul is fine, but the number of confirmed cases in Daegu is simply outstanding. With the efforts of a private church, the average daily increase in Daegu once exceeded 100%.

The South Korean government directly raised the epidemic alert level to the highest level, calling on citizens to minimize going out, not to participate in gatherings, etc. At the same time, the Education Bureau also announced that all schools would postpone the opening of the school.

On February 22, Lin Cheng received a notice of postponed school opening, and unexpectedly received another LCK tryout invitation email.

This email still came from KT's new coach Kang Dongxun, who insisted on inviting Lin Cheng to participate in the tryout during this special period.

To be honest, after being rejected by Lin Cheng last time, Kang Dongxun had already given up, thinking about trying it with the existing lineup.

But the LCK has been in the game for more than half a month, and the newly formed KT has lost five consecutive games at the beginning, which made Mr. Hirai's scalp numb.

KT has never been so bad even when it was bad!

You know, there are only 18 games in the LCK season, and it has been almost one-third of the game, but the traditional powerhouse KT has lost all of them and is at the bottom.

The momentum of this relegation match is even more terrifying than last season.

In fact, KT's duo in the bottom lane performed very well, and although Kuro in the middle lane is not a multi-car, he can be considered stable.

The performance of the top lane is worrying. Both SoHwan and Ray have appeared on the field, but their conditions are worse than each other.

You can't say how bad they are, and they haven't been killed many times on the field, but they are often suppressed and can't defend the jungle, and there are many low-level mistakes in team fights.

Finally, after losing to the newly promoted APK in the fifth game, Kang Dongxun decided to change.

He knew that he couldn't go on like this.

The two top laners of the team are in such a mess, so they can only find someone new.

So, he first thought of Lin Cheng, who had rejected him before.

Although the transfer period has long been closed, Lin Cheng is a free agent and can sign with the team at any time. He is a real combat force.

When he saw this email, Lin Cheng finally wavered.

It was because of the other party's sincere attitude and the current situation.

The current situation is very clear. It is still unclear when the school can resume normally under the influence of the epidemic. Since LCK is a game without spectators, it seems that the impact of the epidemic is not so obvious?

So, this idea came to Lin Cheng's mind:

Or, take a leave of absence this year to play professionally?

Lin Cheng was uncomfortable staying at home doing nothing every day. The key is that Lin Cheng can't see any signs of the end of this epidemic in Seoul.

In fact, the South Korean government has performed very well. Boss Wen called on the public to wear masks and avoid going out every day, and even set up testing points. People with a little cold symptoms must be found and tested for free.

Compared with the Buddhist governments of Japan and the United States, if you really feel something is wrong, come to me for testing yourself, and it is best not to come to the hospital if you have nothing to do. The proactive attitude of the South Korean government is already good.

However, there are people making trouble in the back. Some mentally unstable people who shout Hallelujah are clamoring for freedom and human rights every day.

In addition, some passionate young people are busy opening parties and having fun. These guys don't care about the government's call at all.

In addition to the different crisis awareness of the people, the main reason is that the political system in South Korea is different from that in our country.

In serious cases, the government can take compulsory measures to block traffic and prevent population movement, but the South Korean government has no right to demand that public transportation be suspended. Even if the epidemic breaks out, South Koreans can still move around freely.

These situations also led to Lin Cheng not being optimistic about South Korea's ability to quickly control the epidemic. Brainless people are everywhere, and they can be controlled in China. Brainless people are easily contagious in these capitalist countries.

But he couldn't bear to let Lin Cheng stay at home like this. Kang Dongxun's second invitation finally made Lin Cheng make a decision.

It happened that the LPL game started online today. In Lin Cheng's view, even if the epidemic develops further, LCK can completely imitate LPL's online game, and it should not be affected too much.

Having made a decision in his heart, Lin Cheng's first reaction was to run to the next door to discuss with the two people.

"Take a leave of absence?"

Xiao Tong was surprised by Lin Cheng's decision, "You don't have to play professionally even if you don't know when school will start, right? And now that the epidemic is so serious, it's not safe to play professionally, right?"

Lin Cheng laughed, "You also know that the epidemic is serious? Why didn't you wear a mask when you went out yesterday?"

Xiao Tong laughed dryly, "Then I forgot, didn't I? I must remember it in the future."

"Don't do it again."

Lin Cheng snorted, and then said a little proudly, "Fortunately, I had foresight and bought two large boxes of masks before the New Year, which are enough for us to use for a long time."

Xiao Tong pouted, "If it wasn't for your mother's reminder, would you think of buying masks?"

"What do you mean your mother's reminder? Why are you cursing?"

Xiao Tong: "·····"

After arguing with Xiao Tong, Lin Cheng looked at Han Shuyan.

Han Shuyan waved his fist, "Since Ah Cheng has decided, Xiao Tong and I will cheer you on."

Lin Cheng grinned, "Then I will go and write a leave of absence application now."
