[Seeking recommendations for male and female extras' names!]
-----------------
Look carefully,
This man's name is Gu Yi.
He is very handsome.
After all, people from Sichuan and Chongqing are generally good-looking. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Ruby Lins on Chunxi Road!
He was handsome, with a high nose bridge and well-defined lips.
His features are slightly more rugged compared to those effeminate artists.
If we must use a metaphor,
Placed in the peninsula troops,
It's definitely something everyone will be vying for.
Even so
He's also a tiny bit less handsome than the readers among you.
It is now the year 203X.
At 28, Gu Yi should be at the busiest age for an artist, but instead he's holed up in a room of less than 30 square meters.
His hair was disheveled, and his hands were typing rapidly on the mechanical keyboard like Kato's.
On the screen, Darius's battle axe cleaved a bloody arc, and the triple kill announcement sound effect pierced through the sweltering weather of the mountain city.
"Hold on, let's push the crystal one last time!"
Gu Yi gave instructions through the headset.
His voice was warm yet penetrating.
Even through the screen, the teammates found it clear and pleasant to listen to.
This voice was once the pride of the Music Department of the Central Academy of Drama.
If his senior hadn't seen how handsome he was and enthusiastically invited him to cross over into acting, he might not have embarked on an acting career.
Perhaps they had already made a name for themselves in the music industry.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
The AI wave came unexpectedly.
Now, AI is being used not only for songwriting and arrangement in the music industry.
Even the actors weren't spared.
that's it,
He lost his job as an extra.
To make a living, they also sold the copyright to his image.
I thought I could make a stable income, but I never expected that the major video streaming platforms would be so ruthless.
Every year, they recruit young people from universities like fishing, signing contracts with various companies to create AI actors.
Ultimately, all the actors' livelihoods were ruined.
Gu Yi, who had lost his job, returned to the mountain city.
He makes a living by his exceptional skills.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Not a male technician,
Although the mountain city used to be the same as Chengdu.
Most of them are men on top of men.
However, Gu Yi is a legitimate game companion.
Games like League of Legends, PUBG, Honor of Kings, Delta Force... as long as you pay, there's no game he can't win.
Just as he was getting into the swing of things, his phone on the table suddenly rang with the song "Still Crack".
He saw the words "Old Han" flashing on the screen.
Gu Yi's eyes never left the screen.
While the keyboard isn't looking, quickly tap to answer the call.
"Hello!"
"There's work in Hengdian, are you interested?"
Old Han's voice was crackling with static.
Gu Yi chuckled and took the opportunity to reply the instant his axe blade cleaved the enemy ADC.
"Hengdian isn't finished being demolished yet? There's still work to be done?"
"The AI template isn't finished yet; some real-world elements are still needed."
Old Han's voice was tinged with helplessness.
"But I'm not asking you to act, I'm asking you to do voice acting."
"After all, it's too ugly to have AI actors with AI voice acting; the audience will be furious."
"I have a film crew that suddenly needed someone to fill in. No matter how well the AI can imitate someone, it still lacks a human touch. I recommended you, and the director said your voice is perfect! So we decided on you!"
The keyboard clicks paused for a moment.
Gu Yi controlled the hero to return to the city to buy equipment.
"Let me finish this game first."
"Stop dawdling!"
Old Han got anxious.
"You are now Party B!"
"You might be replaced if you're even a second late."
"How can someone work like a beast of burden with this kind of work attitude?"
"Even eating shit is too slow to catch it while it's still hot!"
"I know you can eat a lot, it'll be ready soon."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yi refocused his attention on the screen.
He controlled Noxus's Hand to charge out of the high ground once again, with his teammates following closely behind, and the dawn of victory was just around the corner.
Just as he was about to use Flash to tower dive and kill the opponent, a whooshing sound suddenly came from outside the window.
Holy crap!
Gu Yi suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking sharply.
"Where did this incredible luck come from?!"
Suddenly, a car called "Da Yun Xian Zun" appeared to crash into his window from the eighteenth floor, like a cannonball.
In an instant, shards of glass and wall debris flew everywhere as the Immortal Venerable slammed him and his computer away.
Next second,
He fell from the building.
Before Gu Yi died, he looked up and saw the road. Suddenly, a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and three things came to mind.
First of all, you bastard, you shouldn't have gone back to the mountain city.
Secondly, the game isn't over yet. If I don't die, the game is definitely lost, and I'll fail the positive review KPI assessment again!
Third, I haven't deleted those terabytes of "Extraordinary and Lewd Techniques Observation" videos from my computer yet. If someone finds out, I'll be in big trouble.
In the last second before his consciousness sank into darkness, he seemed to hear someone on the ground shouting, "Holy crap, someone jumped off a building!"
Gu Yi found it utterly absurd.
Okay, being forced to jump off a building is still jumping off a building!
--------
The scene changes,
In 2018, the Wenhe Arena was bustling with noise when Gu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
He turned his head and saw the water dispenser next to him. He raised his hand and touched his body, feeling the warmth through the thin fabric of his clothes.
"Still alive!!!"
He looked around and found himself in a conference room of several dozen square meters. A large screen at the front was playing a League of Legends match – IG vs. FNC.
He looked down at his clothes, which were also IG's team uniform, and then at the team logo on his chest and the two men sitting next to him.
It feels like a dream.
The middle-aged man on the left is wearing a black suit, has a neat hairstyle, and is staring intently at the screen.
It was IG manager Su XL.
The short-haired man on the right, wearing a black sports jacket and with a slender build, is the team leader, Sima Ning.
Suddenly, Gu Yi's mind went blank, and he trembled a few times.
Countless unfamiliar fragments of memory flooded into my mind, vying to piece together a completely new world.
It turns out this is a parallel universe called "Earth", and he replaced IG's substitute top laner Gu Yi.
Same name and surname,
As for how he got here,
All I can say is that the Great Fortune Immortal Venerable is incredibly powerful.
Gu Yi in this timeline is 21 years old, about the same age as Hai Shen, and is also a contestant personally recruited by Principal Wang.
Unfortunately, an accident caused a hand injury, leaving him completely disabled and relegated to the bench.
However, he clearly saw the promises made by Principal Wang.
"If you can win the World Championship, each of you will receive a reward of one million, and all the official prize money will be given to you."
Gu Yi swallowed hard, his heart pounding.
In the original timeline, IG completely defeated FNC 3-0, and they even got a share of the championship skins after winning the match. It was like a windfall!
It's important to know that the revenue share for championship skins is split equally between substitutes and starters, with each receiving 25% of the total sales.
As a qualified gaming companion, he remembered a professional player revealing that the champion skins were worth about 2000 million RMB each.
Are you that nervous?
Sima Ning noticed that Gu Yi trembled a few times like he was flying an airplane, and assumed that he was too nervous and that's why he ejaculated.
"fine!"
Gu Yi shook her head.
However, when he saw the score on the screen...
He was stunned for a moment.
Because IG and FNC ended up in a 1-1 tie?
IG is still at a disadvantage in the third game!
In the past, IG swept FNC 3-0, easily winning LPL's first S-series championship and making history!
"How can it be 1:1?"
He muttered to himself unconsciously, somewhat incredulously.
Su XL had no interest in explaining and scratched her hair in frustration.
"Stop talking nonsense and get ready to go on stage."
"Me?"
Gu Yi pointed to his own nose, completely dumbfounded.
"Me, a player with terrible skills, competing in professional matches?"
"Isn't this just outrageous—opening the door for his outrageous mother? It's utterly absurd!"
