Episode 1

Xiangzi, help me block the alley!

I'm going mid.

Got it!

There's people behind us.

Xiangzi, go flank them.

We'll cover you.

Got it, got it.

They're coming over from Point A

Okay!

Got one.

Nice!

That's two!

Congratulations to the ten of you for passing the elimination round!

You fought your way out of a pool of four hundred contestants.

Next, the current top ranked player King, Sun Qi, will lead Team A.

They will compete against Team B led by current second-ranked player, North, Lu Xiaobei.

The strongest contestant will officially sign a contract with Gravity.

Let's go.

Tomorrow will be the very last stage.

You've practiced what you can.

What's the point in trying to cram in more practice?

I want to make sure I don't lose my feel of the game.

Can't you see?

The people who could get into Team A all have backing.

People like us without backing can only enter Team B.

Do you know who King's dad is?

His dad is the CEO of a publicly traded company.

I hear they've got a stake in Gravity.

No matter how powerful his dad is,

he can't exactly play for him, can he?

Right now King's KD and match record are both number one. [T/N: KD is kills-to-deaths ratio.]

He's got less kills than me.

The reason his KD is higher than mine

is because he hasn't met me yet.

Hey,

still practicing?

It's 2 AM.

Will you be able to last tomorrow?

Get out, get out.

Let me finish this game.

Fine.

Remember to turn the computer off when you leave.

Time to leave.

Alright.

This kid

Wants to win too badly.

Big brother!

What's this game called?

Cross Fire

Xiaobei, you want to play too?

Xiao Feng, what the hell are you doing? Why aren't you here yet?

We've been waiting for you so long, any flowers would have wilted by now.

Don't you know there's big fish to hook today?

Hurry up!

Tell the fish to wait a little longer.

Hey, cyclist! What are you doing? Move aside!

Honk at him!

Pass him!

Wow, you think you're so cool, cyclist?

Why don't you keep going? Pass me!

What's wrong with you?

What are you doing?

Do you even know how to ride a bike?

Riding such a shabby bike and creating a mess! Do you even know how to ride?

Hold on,

we know each other.

I know him.

You guys know each other?

Yeah.

Whatever then, let's go.

Why's it you?

Xiao Feng, what are you doing here?

I'm just passing by.

Congrats.

I get it now.

Just now when you were chasing the car so furiously, you just wanted to stop me from getting married!

Taozi, you've misunderstood.

I'd never have imagined,

we've been broken up for so long but you still can't forget about me

My God!

You planned all of this out carefully, right?

The time, the location,

all of it intersecting perfectly.

Big sis, you're thinking too much into it.

I really didn't plan this.

Stop pretending, I understand!

It's really painful for you that I'm getting married.

That's why you chased the car so impulsively.

You're here to kidnap the bride, right?

Big sis, look at how I'm dressed! Do I look like I'm here to kidnap the bride?

Kidnapping the bride?!

Who's here to kidnap the bride?

Xiao Feng, you?

You want to kidnap the bride?

No, no, no. I'm not here to kidnap the bride.

You're not?

I'm really not--

Get your hands off her!!

If you're not then don't act like a dog--

Darling, I'm not talking about you.

If you're not, then don't act like a dog,

following after her like that!

I'm not following behind her.

Do you know why Taozi dumped you and insisted on marrying me?

The reason's very simple!

The money I earn in a day,

you can't even begin to make that much your whole life!

What do you even do, other than hanging around in Internet cafes and playing video games?

Hey, why are you kicking my bike?

Hey, big bro,

this isn't worth that much.

Is it enough now??

Enough, enough.

Hurry up and get out of here.

Ride your damn bike--go as far away as you can.

Big bro, come here.

Calm down, calm down.

Why are you losing your temper?

Look, your bow tie is crooked,

and the flower.

Let's smoke a cigarette, okay?

Calm down, calm down.

Such a nice occasion

Right?

Come here, you.

What are you doing?

Do you still want to get married or not?

Yes, yes.

Smile.

Go.

This guy's not bad.

Hey, Xiao Feng,

I really didn't imagine that you were still pretty in love with me.

No matter what you say or do today, I won't get back together with you.

The reason I'm getting married is to let you know that there's no cure for regret!

I really do regret it now,

I should have checked my Chinese horoscope before coming out today.

Enough of that useless talk,

hurry up and go.

In the future, shape up, okay? Look at yourself right now!

Find a serious job, okay?

Have you not been reading the news recently?

Right now eSports is a rising market!

In the future, it'll probably become a legitimate job!

And with a high income!

And!

I'm not just messing around.

I'm sticking to my values!

Come on, give it up!

Why haven't you flown up to the skies?

Why don't you just become an astronaut?

Not working a real job and you've got the audacity.

Seriously, nothing can cure you.

I don't care about cure or no cure,

Time will prove everything!

Right! Time will prove how correct I was in breaking up with you!

Today is the last day of the training camp

and also the day of the final selection.

Everyone must perform to the best of their ability,

display your true skills.

Now, I'll explain how this competition will work:

Team A will choose the map and team members first.

Why is Team A picking first?

Let me reiterate the importance of discipline.

Contestants must obey the competition rules.

When playing games,

you have to understand the game's rules.

Now Team A will choose the map.

We've already discussed.

We'll choose the Submarine map.

Choose the Black City map.

Okay then,

we're going with Black City.

Gravity Team Scouting Tournament Finals

I got one by B Gate.

Nice!!

There's only King left.

Nice!!!

Lu Xiaobei...

You actually knifed King...

That's a bit much.

Lu Xiaobei,

the team leader wants to speak with you.

Lu Xiaobei,

you are still too young.

Many things just can't be achieved through hard work.

You must learn how to see the circumstances around you.

Why we split you into Teams A and B...don't you know why?

Team B must lose to Team A.

Right?

Let me tell you something else.

The team wants to sign King.

This was decided long ago.

Then why would you hold this competition?

We have to go through the motions.

I can request for CEO Xu to sign you as a substitute.

However, the condition is

next time, don't make trouble for me.

Get it?

I get it.

What did she want you for?

Good things

She told me that as long as I throw the game,

they'll sign me as a substitute.

But did we really come here...

only to become substitutes?

When playing games, the goal is always to win!

I don't want to lose.

And we won't lose.

There's one at the central gate!

Nice!

There's two on top!

Cover me!

Strike the iron while it's hot.

You guys cover me, I'll go flank them.

What's the situation??

It's King

King? Where is he?

He's behind the box

There's thirty seconds left.

What do we do?

Should we rush in together?

Let's not put all our eggs in one basket.

I'll go in first as bait,

the rest is up to you.

What if I get nervous?

That'll prove you're trash!

Throw away your gun,

admit your loss.

Xiangzi!

Nice!!!

Nice!

What happened?

Sorry, it's my fault.

Don't apologize.

Tell me how we can fix this.

We said we would sign the strongest player.

Right now, King is still ranked number one in damage.

Lu Xiaobei ranks behind him.

Did you see the comments on the live broadcast?

Lots of people are supporting Lu Xiaobei.

Why don't we sign a substitute contract with him for now?

After some time, we can think of a way to kick him out.

Honestly speaking,

he's got a lot of potential.

We can sign anyone

except for this Lu Xiaobei.

Guys!

Today's competition is very important for us.

Later, let's be more excited about it.

Why the hell is it important?

I've already asked around about those fat geese in there.

They're stupid, with a lot of money.

We absolutely must win today.

Let's go: one, two!

One, two!

We must!

Come on, what's up with you?

Hurry up and fix your hair, I get mad just looking at it.

Xu Wei!

What's my hair got to do with you?

Yeah, it's got to do with me!

Deal with it!

I can't. What are you looking at?

What am I looking at? Why are you looking at me?

Qilin, Qilin

Looking at you? What's wrong with me looking at you?

Da Wei, Qilin

Isn't this a hair salon behind us?

And the girl in there is super enthusiastic.

Every time I go in there she greets me.

How about later

we'll accompany you to get a haircut?

You always talk too much.

Am I blind??

I can't see for myself that this is a hair salon??

Hey, don't bully Ah Ming anymore.

He's so young.

And you! What are you, rich?

Getting a haircut?!

I don't have money.

Guys, let's have some faith, okay?

Don't lose hope.

As long as we play well, we'll have money,

and in the future we'll have wives too.

We'll buy whatever we want.

You can leave your hair as long as you want.

No one'll bother you.

Enough, enough.

You've said this for so many years.

I'll ask you this: as a gamer,

have you bought a house?

Have you managed to get married?

Let's not talk about this depressing stuff.

Is Xiao Feng coming or not?!

Hold on, I'll call him.

I'm here, I'm here.

Are they here?

Why did you only come now?

Let me tell you,

in a bit, let's all play well.

Our goal here is to earn money for skewers tonight.

We waited so long, and in the end it's a group of uncles?

You guys together must be at least a hundred years old, right?

Stop playing, go home and change your kids' diapers.

We are a bit old.

Then why don't you treat us as elderly

and go easy on us?

Come on, we don't bully uncles.

Looking at you...aren't you older than us?

I'm only 18!

Hey, 18

Playing like this isn't interesting.

Losers will treat the winners to a snack, how's that?

As long as you can win,

order whatever you want!

It's a deal then.

Why don't you pick a map?

Then, we'll do the transport ship map and see who gets more kills.

Transport ship?

Ah, we're not familiar with this map,

but we can still play.

Okay! Transport ship it is.

Let's play to make them question life itself.

Xu Wei, follow me.

Got it!

Cover Xiao Feng.

Qilin, attract their fire.

Okay.

Qilin, Ah Ming, block their path.

Look up, look up!

Da Wei, go!

Houzi, flank and kill them [T/N: lit. Houzi = monkey, nickname]

Okay.

Da Wei, let's end this.

What's your team called again?

1coin!

Never heard of us?

Never heard of it.

It's OneCoin!

I also haven't heard of that.

That shows that you haven't been in this scene for long enough.

We were the runner ups in the province-level competitions!

Haven't heard of us?

Bro!

Let's play another round!

What's the point of playing another?

We've just been babysitting this afternoon.

If you're gonna bet, be ready to lose.

Let's go, let's go.

Here.

Another round of free skewers!

Qilin!

Come on, let's eat.

Cheers!

I have some good news.

Cross Fire is going to hold a national competition.

The prize money is tens of thousands of yuan.

I already registered our team.

Nice!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Qilin?

What's up with you guys?

Why do you guys look so depressed?

Houzi, what's going on?

We don't want to compete anymore.

We're playing in the Ningjiang District divisionals

It's online, we don't have to go far!

What we mean is that in the future, we--

Come on, stop beating around the bush. I'll say it directly:

We don't want to play anymore.

You guys want to talk about disbanding the team again?

Let me say my bit:

Look at us, even the youngest of us, Ah Ming,

is already 22.

We can't go on like this.

If we're talking about me,

I just found a job,

but going at it so half-heartedly...

You don't even know my boss came to--

What's wrong with not having a job?

When you were having troubles, didn't Xiao Feng help you?

That's enough, Da Wei.

Back when you were kicked out by your family and living with Xiao Feng,

because of you, Xiao Feng slept on the floor for half a month.

Did you forget?

And you, Qilin.

Back when you got into fights with people at the Internet cafe,

because of you, Xiao Feng suffered four, five hits,

but in the end Xiao Feng carried YOU to the hospital.

He got you looked at first, he didn't even think about himself!

You!

You eat more than anyone!

Everything you're wearing, from your shirt to your pants--what isn't Xiao Feng's?

Why are you all so two-faced? Giving up as soon as you feel like it?

Do you have any conscience left in you?

What are you yelling for?

What's wrong with me yelling?

What are you guys doing?

That's enough, Da Wei.

Calm down.

Let me ask you guys.

How was Yao Ming able to make it in the NBA?

7'6" height.

Wrong!

The one thing the NBA does not lack is tall people.

He's got good technique.

Speaking of good technique, that's European players.

Then what?

What did Yao Ming depend on? One word.

Perseverance!

Persevering through everything!

The difficulties we're facing right now are nothing!

If we grit our teeth, won't we get past them?

Think about in the past,

we won so many times.

As long as we were participating, other teams could only hope for second place,

right?

I can't believe you're not embarrassed saying that. What kind of low-level competitions were those?

The prize would be something like a mouse pad.

What's wrong with a mouse pad?

A mouse pad is also an honor!

What's wrong with a mouse pad?

You play so poorly, are you worthy of a mouse pad?

What's wrong with my playing?

You play poorly!

Are you that great?

I'm better than you!

Go and take a look at an Internet cafe first!

How old are the kids playing there?

18, 19-year-old kids!

Fast reaction times, fast reflexes,

pulling all-nighters all the time without it being an issue!

You go and try it!

What, is there something wrong with you? You can't practice?

How old are you?!

No matter how old you are, can't you practice?

That's enough, stop arguing!

It's true that we are a bit older now,

but we have experience!

On this, those snot-nosed kids can't beat us!

It's true that in the past, we weren't playing in opportune times,

but now Cross Fire is becoming more and more popular.

If we play well,

you can get sponsors,

you can get signed to a team, and even earn a salary.

Stop dreaming.

Competing requires money.

Eating, drinking, you need money for all of it.

And we don't have money! Where are we going to get it from?

You don't need to worry about the money.

I'll think of something.

Let's at least endure it for a little longer.

Let's at least win a championship--

There's only one champion,

it's not that easy, and moreover

even if we win, what'll that change?

Can we eat it or drink it?

If we keep living like this,

we'll all end up with empty stomachs.

Okay,

let's do this the way we usually do.

We'll go with this.

If it lands heads three times,

no one's allowed to go!

Alright.

Stop it!

Why the hell should I listen to some stupid coin?

Get back here!

Is there something wrong with your head?

Your girlfriend ran off with someone else,

and you're still here listening to a coin?

Why are you bringing up my girlfriend?

What's wrong with bringing up your girlfriend?

You just can't bring up my girlfriend!

I'm bringing it up, so what?

Keep bringing it up and try it.

I'm bringing it up now.

Where'd you go?

I went to the bathroom.

Did you see the live broadcast platform?

Right now my vote count

surpasses King's.

You're third.

Everyone has been patiently waiting.

I'll announce the final results of the competition.

The person we've decided to sign is

King, Sun Qi.

Congratulations, Sun Qi!

Additionally,

after some investigation,

contestant Lu Xiaobei

was found to have cheated during the competition

affecting other contestants negatively.

Thus, his standing is revoked.

Hey,

how can you slander me like this?

At the very least, you have to have some evidence.

The team would never wrongly accuse an innocent person.

What you've done should be clear to you.

It's clearer to me than to anyone else.

I didn't cheat.

Really?

Li Jiaxiang,

what you just reported to the team,

please repeat it for everyone to hear

It's okay,

the team needs people who aren't afraid to speak honestly.

I can confirm.

Before the competition, I heard Lu Xiaobei discussing with him

that during the competition, he'd reveal his location.

I confess.

He told me to do this.

Lu Xiaobei,

what other excuses do you have?

You were warned repeatedly

and yet you still dared to try and go against the current.

Let me tell you,

of the 16 teams in the league,

not one of them will sign you.

This professional gaming career path...

don't even think about it.

Xiaobei

Xiaobei

I'm sorry.

Please don't.

Just now I thought you had quite the potential for evil.

Xiaobei

It's like this, Xiaobei.

They forced me to do it.

Don't make excuses.

All you want is my forgiveness,

so that you can forgive yourself more easily.

In the future, in a similar situation, you'd do the same thing.

Do you think that as long as you find an excuse for it,

you'll definitely be forgiven?

Sorry

By nature, I hold grudges.

On this...

I'll never forgive you.

I don't want to see you anymore.

Go away.

You were warned repeatedly, and you still dared to try and swim against the current?

Let me tell you,

of the 16 teams in the league,

not one will sign you.

Don't even think about pursuing a career in gaming.

Police officer,

Can I ask, you are--

I'm looking for Lu Xiaobei.

You don't need to worry about it.

Let's go.

♫ We are happy youngsters ♫

♫ Living in the 80s ♫

♫ We are full of vigor ♫

♫ We believe in the future ♫

♫ We applaud ourselves ♫

Xiaobei

I prepared your clothes, why don't you take a shower now?

What's happened, Xiaobei?

I don't need your help!

You can't do it like this.

I don't need your help!

I don't need your help, I'll wash up myself.

I'll wash up myself!!

I'll do it myself!

Doctor Li told you to get a checkup, why didn't you go?

What's the point?

My legs can't be cured,

and I don't want them to be cured either.

If you return my computer to me,

I can consider going.

What are you talking about?

School starts tomorrow.

You're already in your senior year.

It's time to get to work.

Make up all the work you missed.

Let me tell you, you can't succeed on this gaming path.

I'll choose my own path.

If I fail, I'll take responsibility for it.

Have you thought about it before?

Right now, the competition out there is so fierce,

if you don't study hard and get into a good university, in the future--

In the future, what are you going to do?

The career I want to pursue is becoming a professional gamer!

Why should I try and fight with others to cross the single-log bridge that's called college entrance exam?

It's not like they've got a lane marked for disabled people.

Kid, listen to me.

Starting from this month,

I'm going to stop working on my cases, and focus on you.

You don't need to go to all that bother.

Why don't you just throw me in a detention house?

They'll take care of food and lodging,

you'll save time and energy.

Idiot boy!

You think I want to do this?

Then don't!

What are you two doing?

The toilet cover is broken.

Hi.

I was not chosen at the training camp.

They signed a guy called King.

I'm not worse than him.

I waited a really long time for this opportunity,

but in the end,

they wanted me to obediently throw the game?

I can't do that.

Then, not only did the team not sign me,

they also claimed I cheated.

Maybe they only like people who go along with what they say.

You know,

I'm not one of those,

never have been.

Now, none of the teams will sign me.

What should I do?

Can you tell me?

Big brother?

Don't you know how to knock?

Sleep early.

Tomorrow morning I'll take you to school.

Stop thinking about gaming.

Name, age, and occupation.

Huo Qilin

23

I've been a seafood seller and a network administrator.

Right now...

don't have a job.

I'm Xu Wei.

I'm 24 this year,

haven't decided on my occupation yet.

I'm Hou Zhihao,

23 this year.

We haven't asked you yet.

Sit down!

Name, age, occupation!

I'm--I'm called Huang Deming

I'm almost--

Speak properly, what's wrong with you?

I'm about to start university!

Yo, Officer Guan!

What a coincidence to meet you here!

I come here a lot, we see each other often. We've really got a connection--

Sit down!

Name, age, and occupation!

Xiao Feng

25

professional team!

Do you know why we brought you guys to the police station?

I know.

Some good friends drank some beer,

drank a bit much.

We didn't really clear up our misunderstandings,

started fighting over some small disagreements,

and it got physical.

My waist hurts...

Properly explain what happened!

For example,

I've got my sniper rifle,

Da Wei's got his AK-47--

What?!

You guys had guns?

You've misunderstood,

they're just props in a video game.

This is all my fault.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Xiao Feng.

What's your relationship with him?

We're bros.

Really, this is nothing.

You're still saying there's nothing going on?

You guys were throwing beer bottles at each other!

We were playing to catch the bottles but didn't catch them.

Actually, this has nothing to do with me.

I really don't know anything.

I was just watching from the side, that's all!

If you didn't do anything, why are your legs shaking?

I'm sorry, Mr. Policeman!

I know I was wrong!

Sit back down!

I know I was wrong.

We're a pro team!

Team?

It's like a soccer team, or a basketball team.

The five of us all have our different roles and we make up a team.

That's a team.

Isn't it just forming a group to play games online?

What we do is not the same as just playing games!

We're all professionals!

We're a professional team!

Stop bluffing.

In the end, it's the same thing.

Seriously, you guys aren't even young,

go do something serious!

Don't hang around Internet cafes playing video games all day.

What kind of results could you possibly get from that?

Hey!

Feng-ge, why don't we go buy another coin?

Aren't they all the same?

No, we can't! It's not the same.

Da Wei!

Come over here.

Almost there, almost there...

To the right, the right

Good, good...

You got it, you got it!

[If you don't pay rent, I won't open the door!]

The three of them seem to have their hearts set on disbanding the team.

What are we gonna do from now on?

It's hard to find a frog with three legs,

but there's plenty of people with two legs!

No matter who's gone, the Earth keeps on spinning.

Regardless of what we encounter,

it'll be okay as long as the two of us stay together

My family still hasn't sent my living expenses for next month.

Yesterday I got some gas.

I've only got this much left.

Only ¥500? [T/N: ~70 USD]

It's not even enough to pay rent.

I'll try and find someone to send some money.

Are we still going to practice shooting later?

Let's save some electricity.

Sleep.

I'll try one more time.

If I lose,

then I'll give up entirely.

On the transport ship map,

the player with the highest number of kills will win the "Gold Ace" title.

Weird?

Where am I?

Who is it?

Who's speaking?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Are you that lurker from just now?

Did your screen go black too?

How do you know?

Mine did too.

I can't get out of the program no matter what I try.

Then why are the two of us still able to talk?

Could it be

there's some sort of bug?

Let's just restart.

If it still doesn't work, just pull the plug.

You still there?

Did you restart?

I restarted, but there's no use, the screen's still black.

Then we've got quite the destiny to end up like this.

What's your name?

What's your name?

Even if I said it, it's not like you'd know me.

Then why are you asking me?

I just wanted to ask if you've got a team or not.

You're pretty good with a sniper rifle.

You're alright yourself.

I haven't got a team.

Where're you from?

I'm from Ningjiang.

What a coincidence, I'm from Ningjiang too.

What's your name?

Living in a place as small as Ningjiang, we've got to have people we know in common.

My name is Lu Xiaobei,

"Bei" as in north.

My name is Xiao Feng,

"Feng" as in maple leaf.

Bro,

can we not joke around?

What?

There is a Xiao Feng in Ningjiang,

his gaming tag is Seven.

You even know my gaming tag?

Who doesn't?

In the Ningjiang gaming scene, the name "Xiao Feng" is a legend.

He was the national Cross Fire champion.

That year, he was also the ACE.

Many classic Cross Fire techniques and strats were all developed by him.

We call him Cross Fire's human strategy book.

Bro,

next time you pretend to be a legendary gamer, choose one that's just so-so.

Don't shoot too high.

Bro,

if I have so much potential, how can I not even know it?

That national competition, I haven't even registered yet. How would I win it?

Stop acting,

even I'm embarrassed for you.

Alright, alright.

Then why don't you tell me

how did I...no, how did that Xiao Feng,

how did he win that national competition?

Of the sports headlines from that year, I only remember two:

The first,

Xiao Feng's team wins the national championship.

The second,

in the 110 meter hurdle, Liu Xiang withdraws. [T/N: Liu Xiang is a very famous Chinese hurdler.]

What?

Liu Xiang withdraws?

The 110 meter race hasn't even begun yet, how can he withdraw?

Stop playing around, bro.

Liu Xiang withdrawing from the Olympics, this happened 11 years ago.

Liu Xiang participated in 48 international competitions,

won 36 times,

but we

only remember the time he withdrew.

Bro,

let's not go too far.

Let's not put on too much of an act.

Go take a look what day, month, and year it is today

August 17th, 2019. Saturday.

Is there a problem with that?

Of course there's a problem! There's a big problem!

If it's not the computer's problem, then it's a problem with your brain!

Hurry and get yourself examined at the hospital, alright?

What, to examine you?

Really, scammer-bro,

I don't even understand what you're talking about.

Today is August 17th, 2008.

You're saying...

over there...it's 2008 for you?

That's right!

Bro?

2019?

The dark night gave me the right to dream

It made me believe at a certain moment

That endless dawn

Will cover the ground at my feet

There will be rooftops with ever blooming flowers

There will be vast horizons

There will be hearts yearning for the break of day

So I'm not afraid of burning up

If I can hold destiny in my hand

Don't be the coin that gets tossed up

Maybe I am unremarkable, like an ant

But I never thought of giving up

Stop asking how many times rain has poured on me

No matter what, I shouldn't fall to mud

Darkness thinks it has tortured me to my last breath

Yet I am still blooming in the spring light

The dark night gave me the right to dream

It made me believe at a certain moment

That endless dawn

Will cover the ground at my feet

There will be rooftops with ever blooming flowers

There will be vast horizons

There will be hearts yearning for the break of day

So I'm not afraid of burning up

Even if it's just a fantasy

That may not be achieved in a lifetime

I still want to give it a try

With all my efforts

Even if I am questioned and laughed at

Even if I am scorned at and abandoned by countless people

It will still be the place I will eventually reach

The place of my dreams
