Recently, Qiao Liang’s schedule has been rather casual. He would sleep until he woke up naturally every morning. He would wake up at 10 AM. He would watch videos and eat breakfast at the same time. After eating, he would digest his food and play games for a while. At 1 PM, he would eat lunch and be sleepy. He would sleep until 3 PM. After sunbathing on the sofa, it would be dinner time before he could do anything. After dinner, the GPL competition would begin soon.

  He had no choice. Most of the time, he would watch short videos and forums on his cell phone. Two or three hours would pass unknowingly. It was very difficult for him to control his cheap hands.

  Qiao Liang might be well aware of this situation because he still had to swipe his cell phone. Not everyone could resist fragmented entertainment.

  “Eh? Bunny Tail Live-Stream is holding a competition at three in the afternoon? The ten old DGE players are going to gather again?”


  “Is this an event to save popularity?”


  It had been some time since Qiao Liang had used the Bunny Tail Live-Stream. That was because he had to hang up for an hour. He could not be bothered to hang up every day.

  Qiao Liang was very dissatisfied with this’ mandatory one hour ‘rule. He complained to his fan group many times. He even wanted to talk to Boss Pei and ask him to cancel this completely unreasonable rule. However, in the end, he decided not to.

  Qiao Liang felt that he still had some say if this was a game related matter. However, how the live-stream platform wanted to manage it was entirely Tengda’s own business. If Qiao Liang were to say it, it would be that he had been suspected of overstepping his boundaries. That would not be good.

  What’s more, Qiao Liang felt that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not Tengda Corporation’s core business in the first place. It was alright if they were to mess around. After all, they would definitely change it if there was prolonged rejection.

  Therefore, Qiao Liang had not used the Bunny Tail live-stream for some time after that. The popularity on the internet gradually decreased after the netizens got tired of scolding.

  However, the event this time had obviously made Bunny Tail Live-Stream the focus of netizens’ discussions once again.

  Qiao Liang scanned the gamers’ comments. Most of them were still criticizing it.

  “There will be a ten-man competition between 3 PM to 5 PM Bunny Tail. The promotional picture has been released. We can pay attention to it!”


  “Could anyone still be using Bunny Tail Live-Stream? No way, no way!”


  “You can persevere for an hour every day? You’re awesome.”


  “Is there something wrong with Bunny Tail Live-Stream? Do they have too much money to burn? It was originally very popular, but the one hour restriction caused the website’s popularity to drop. Now, DGE’s players are being used to generate popularity for them. What a retard!”


  “That’s right. The team members still have to train daily. The entertainment competition that arranged such special activities cannot maintain their state and strength. The team members were forced to do it on Boss Pei’s account. Be more humane, will you, Bunny Tail Live-Stream? Don’t torture these team members anymore!”


  “Everyone, don’t go and watch it. Don’t increase their popularity! It will naturally stop if no one watches it after some time!”


  Some fans might be looking forward to the competition but there were more negative comments overall.

  There was no choice. Bunny Tail Live-Stream had offended the passers-by quite badly previously.

  The scolding had mostly disappeared during this period. Once the competition was promoted, the passers-by recalled the idiotic rules of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. More people cursed them since they were coupled with the fact that this event seemed to be asking DGE members to clean up their mess.

  “The audience this year is really strict.”


  Qiao Liang might be unhappy with the rules of Bunny Tail Live-Stream but he did not react as strongly as the others.

  He was a freelancer after all. It was very easy for him to let it play on his cell phone for an hour. He just had to set it aside while playing games.

  Qiao Liang would not have bothered to set it aside for an hour if it was any other event. However, DGE’s players had not competed together for months. Qiao Liang still wanted to watch it even though it was a gimmick.

  Thus, Qiao Liang still switched on the bunny tail live-stream application that he had not logged in for a long time. He switched on the focus mode and let the phone play obediently for an hour in preparation to watch the competition at 3 PM.

  After entering the focus mode, a countdown timer and a cartoon image appeared on the page. There were two lines of words.

  “The reason why the genius in people’s eyes is outstanding is not because he is more talented than others, but because he has worked hard continuously. Ten thousand hours of tempering is necessary for anyone to go from ordinary to world-class master.”


  “You would need at least five years to become an expert in a field working eight hours a day. If you would take an extra hour to study other professions apart from your own work everyday. In thirty years, you would also achieve something in this field.”


  Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional. “It does make some sense even though this function is quite retarded.”


  The first part was actually the so-called ‘Ten Thousand Hour Law’.

  There might be a difference in talent but the effort needed to succeed could not be summarized in one way or another, the ‘Ten Thousand Hour Law’ still had its merits.

  That was because no matter how talented a person was, they could not achieve results without accumulating hard work over time. The geniuses in history were no exception.

  The second paragraph was more like an extension of the ‘Ten Thousand Hour Law’. In fact, most people could become professionals in a certain field within five years as long as their work could be accumulated and improved and not repetitive.

  In addition to work, theoretically, if he could take an hour out every day to study other fields, as long as he did not work blindly but systematically understood and learned some knowledge, he would be able to gain something from perseverance.

  He placed his cell phone aside and could not use it anymore. Qiao Liang had no choice but to turn on his computer and get down to business.

  He had always wanted to find time to make a timetable for the history of domestically-produced games. He wanted to sort out the development of domestically-produced games and accumulate some material for future videos.

  However, this matter dragged on for a few months. He could not persevere after two or three lines each time and would instead play with his cell phone.

  This time, Qiao Liang could not help but want to play with his cell phone. However, when he saw the ‘focus mode’ page on his cell phone screen, Qiao Liang retracted his hand and continued working seriously.

  An hour passed quickly.

  Qiao Liang realized that he had not had enough. He continued working for another half an hour before he prepared to rest.

  “This focus mode seems to be quite useful. If I can control myself from playing with my cell phone, I can actually squeeze out more time every day……”


  Qiao Liang was already satisfied even though he had only worked for a little more than an hour. He opened the live-stream of DGE players’ competition without any guilt.

  At that moment, Qiao Liang realized that the title of the live-stream that was originally hidden had been revealed: “Bunny Tail Cup BP Verification Competition!”


  “BP verification competition? What competition is this?”


  Qiao Liang was stunned. Previously, he had thought that this was just an ordinary entertainment competition or a friendly competition. The ten DGE players would play some extreme heroes to satisfy the audience. However, it seemed like the situation was not as simple as he had thought!

  The competition this time had directly used the ICL league’s live-streaming platform for the Bunny Tail’s Two-way Flow. Therefore, the broadcasting and commentary teams were all ready-made.

  The two commentators were already introducing the rules of the competition in advance.

  “As the name implies, the ‘BP Verification Competition’ is to let two top teams test the strength of some BP lineups to prove whether it’s the problem of the coach’s BP or the players.”


  “Today is the first match of the BP Verification Competition. We have carefully chosen a classic match from last week’s GPL. The Blue Team has an almost unopened early-stage Poke lineup. It is also the lineup that many viewers angrily denounced as ‘Underworld BP ‘. Today’s two teams will use this lineup to fight the other party once. We will verify whether this BP is’ Underworld BP ‘through ‘Controlling Variables’.”


  “If both competitions were lost by the side of the ‘Underworld BP’, then it can be proven that it is a problem with the BP. If the side of the ‘Underworld BP’ wins, then it can be proven that the strength and tactical arrangements of the players are problematic.”


  “If one wins and one loses, we can also determine the number of BPs on both sides by analyzing the two matches. Is the capacity of this ‘Underworld BP’ high or low, stable or unstable……”


  “After that, we will vote in the BP verification competition live-stream of Bunny Tail. The audience will choose the BP lineup of the ‘Underworld’. The lineup with the most votes will be the lineup that we will verify next……”


  The live-stream also showed the exact lineup of the competition as the two commentators introduced the rules of the competition.

  The rules of the BP verification competition were that the ten heroes and their respective positions could not be changed. Apart from that, there were no restrictions on the specific talent configurations, gameplay, and appearance of the heroes.

  Qiao Liang had watched this competition last week, and it was still fresh in his memory. At that time, the blue team’s coach had chosen an early-stage Poke lineup. The entire team only had two unstable control skills, and they did not strictly have advances. In the end, the first class team did not manage to deal with it well enough to send out one head and two teams of monsters. They were flattened by the opponent.

  On paper, the blue side was obviously stronger.

  Thus, after this match, the blue team’s coach was criticized badly. This lineup was also jokingly called the “five vs one coach” lineup, and it was not saved.

  This time, DGE Team One would be in charge of the “Underworld BP” lineup. DGE Team Two would obtain the opponent’s lineup and fight it out. Then, the lineup would be swapped and they would fight again.

  Of course, Old Zhou, the former commander of DGE Team Two, had retired to be a coach. Thus, a rising support from the current DGE Club who performed very well made up for his place, ensuring that the two teams were relatively close in strength on paper.

  What’s more, the two teams had been pulled together at the last minute. They had not worked together beforehand. They relied on tacit understanding. It was basically a fair match.

  Qiao Liang perked up after hearing the rules.

  This’ BP verification competition’ felt very interesting!

  It would indeed be meaningless if it was a friendly competition or an entertainment competition. They would not be able to see the tactics, the professional players might not play seriously. There would not be much fun.

  However, this BP verification competition was completely based on the main competition. Both sides had to work hard to win and could maximize the intensity and excitement of the competition.

  Most importantly, this competition could finally solve a series of unanswered questions to a certain extent:

  Was losing the competition because the BP lineup was bad or because the players were bad?

  Should the coach or the players take the blame?

  The bullet screen coaches kept saying ‘brainless BP’. Would ‘the eyes of the masses be clearer’ or would ‘the truth is often in the hands of the minority’ prevail in terms of understanding the game?

  Qiao Liang was interested because he wanted to know the answers as well!
