Chapter 334: Global Fan Meet! A

"There are four sections in the Asian Games Village, covering a very large area. Our esports event is in this building further inside."

A middle-aged man in a work uniform with a national flag pinned to his cuff acted as a guide for everyone, explaining things in meticulous detail one by one.

"The first and second floors are both venues for the League of Legends event. This is the esports event with the most international teams participating, so it should be the most highly regarded one. You must all work hard and win some glory for us!"

"The third floor is the residence for the AOV event, the fourth floor is for the Dota 2 event, and the fifth floor is for the remaining Street Fighter 5 and FIFA Online 4."

"What's AOV?"

Xun interjected with a question, like a curious baby.

The other person turned his head to look at him and replied word for word: "Honor of Kings International Version."

"Hey, I'm familiar with that! Can we go visit?" Liu Qingsong, standing to the side, suddenly shouted strangely: "I'm a master of Ying Zheng!"

Hearing this, the shy Gala also became inexplicably excited: "I'm also a master of Huang Zhong and Genghis Khan, but it's a pity my fingers aren't very flexible and I can only play with two fingers. I don't have much talent; my nephew uses four fingers."

As veteran farmers of the game, Gala and Liu Qingsong spoke with ease and fluency; they really weren't just bragging!

However, Jiejie asked back as if he had heard a keyword: "Four fingers? Why not five?"

"Five fingers won't work. Who uses five fingers to play Honor of Kings?"

Gala replied sincerely and subconsciously.

Only after saying it did he notice the amused expressions of the others, and he couldn't help but lose his composure a little.

Ye Bo also chatted happily from the side: "My Daji and Angela are not bad either. Sometimes when my mom is halfway through stewing soup and runs to the kitchen, I often help her play instead~"

Xun took a step back and made an expression of making a fuss: "No way? You guys!"

"How is it that everyone plays it!!"

The group burst into laughter.

Continuing forward, they saw facilities along the way including a {training room}, {conference room}, and {independent logistics department}. It could be said that everything was provided, and all of it featured the latest equipment and renovation facilities!

"My goodness, our conditions this time are truly great. This is practically a luxury mansion!"

Meiko, the only person present who had been to the previous Asian Games, couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's simply much better than that time in Jakarta!"

Even though he had been a "substitute" for both sessions, there were already quite a few people online mocking him as the "Grand Slam of Substitutes."

But Meiko knew himself that he hadn't played well this year, especially after pairing with Uzi in the second half of the year; he had been hung out to dry on the front pages of major forums and scolded for an entire summer.

Being able to come as a substitute was already more than enough to satisfy him.

Compared to the 2018 session held in Jakarta, Indonesia, which directly requisitioned old local residential buildings—where even the plaster on the exterior walls was peeling off, and foreign athletes had to sleep on old wooden beds that creaked—it had once caused a chorus of complaints.

Even the Indonesian official slogan at the time was: "Simple, but not simple!"

Compared to the standards of this domestic event, it was like heaven and earth; they simply couldn't be mentioned in the same breath!

Entering the dormitory printed with the national flag, two-meter-wide beds were placed in parallel in single-occupancy rooms. Each room was also equipped with training facilities, which could be said to have taken every detail to the extreme.

The esports event had an advantage in this regard.

The most expensive requirement was nothing more than a computer tower worth about ten thousand yuan per person, and many events even "brought their own equipment"—compared to those events that required large outdoor venues, it was already extremely cost-effective and easy to satisfy.

"This room, not bad!"

"I feel like my room isn't that great. Master Ye even has a balcony!"

"Xun, speak clearly! Is the room good or not? If it's not, hurry up and tell the manager to change it!"

"Hey, don't, don't, don't, don't mess with me, Brother Qiang. There's a camera here; don't let the documentary turn into our criminal record."

Ye Bo and his teammates were clearly very satisfied with this environment.

Everyone returned to their respective dormitories to pack their luggage first, then gathered at the training room in the middle.

The staff member, still wearing an armband, pushed a large box over.

"This is the unified national team uniform. All Chinese athletes must wear this for the next month. It can be considered everyone's 'passport' within the Asian Games Village."

"Everyone take two pieces according to your size first; if it's not enough, come back to get more."

Ye Bo received his own 【China Team Uniform】.

White was the main color, and the red star-striped band on the right shoulder was fastened tightly like a shoulder guard, like a red finishing touch that brought solemnity to the pure white.

Although the design was simple.

The clothing had something most special, which made this uniform the most unique and instantly surpassed everything else added to it.

Sewn on the left chest—the Five-Star Red Flag!

Ye Bo excitedly put it on, feeling the comfortable and soft material against his skin.

And at the very moment he put it on, he felt as if he could once again sense a weight on his shoulders that he had never felt before.

Ye Bo took out his phone and took a bunch of vain selfies with the flash, then turned and sent them to the family group chat.

He received an instant reply from 【Mom】.

{My son is so handsome!!

{Heart/Heart/}

Even 【Dad】, who was usually quite serious, followed up with two {Sunglasses/Thumbs up/} emojis.

Everyone changed into the designated clothing, while the logistics staff continued to talk endlessly about precautions.

"During the training camp, ordering takeout is not allowed, going out for group meals is not allowed, and all prohibited items are strictly forbidden. You can only eat the food we have purchased in advance... Here is a 'List of Forbidden Foods'; it is best for everyone to memorize it."

Everyone received a paper list, which was full of prohibited foods and ingredients.

"My goodness, what can we even eat then!?"

"Pork is out... beef is out, lamb is out, fish is out, meat products are out... eggs are out... even shiitake mushrooms are out..."

"Hey? It looks like Brother Alpaca is done for; they don't even allow coffee!"

Seeing coffee at the end, the V5 trio all laughed.

In fact, many Koreans never leave their coffee behind; Deft almost treats coffee like water at the base. Now that he has to quit completely, one can imagine the impact will not be small.

Hearing everyone's complaints, the staff member also laughed and replied: "You can rest assured about the food. The dishes will be rotated, with up to 268 options for athletes from various countries to choose from, ensuring that everyone can eat something different every day for this month~"

However, his expression immediately became serious again.

"As far as I know, our esports event usually has fewer such situations, but I hope everyone will not let their guard down."

"You are all national athletes at the Asian Games now, subject to the exact same rules and systems as everyone else. Once a problem is found in the daily 'urine test,' the consequences will be very, very serious!"

"Coaches should also take good care of their team members. In this regard, it is even more important than the competition itself. In previous events, quite a few athletes lost their opportunities because of this..."

The coaches listening to the lecture in the back also nodded one after another.

Especially the few domestic coaches who thought they had lost their jobs after hearing "no takeout," they immediately smelled the scent of work again!

The cumbersome process of entering the village finally came to an end.

Everyone's first goal was to head to the large cafeteria in the building to settle dinner first, and by the way, experience the strict menu just explained.

Fortunately, the staff member really didn't lie.

Although there were various taboos.

However, as everyone knows: when it comes to "eating," if the Chinese say they are second, absolutely no one dares to say they are first, unless they are shameless!

The variety of dishes was rich and dazzling; even for some meals that felt like they would be prohibited, there seemed to be ways to use other ingredients to make them taste similar.

It was also here.

The group once again ran into the KR representative team that had arrived a step earlier.

The CN representative team's neighbors on the same floor were teams from regions like Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan—the KR representative team's training room was specifically arranged on the second floor, bordering the Indian representative team.

Clearly, there was deliberate separation between the two major competition regions in terms of accommodation.

"Brother Genshin!" Xun didn't care about anyone else, and directly took two steps to walk over and pat that sturdy back.
