Chapter 328: Chapter 324 E-sports (Third Update)

Star University is completely different from other universities.

Ye Chen gave the students the greatest freedom.

They can pursue their dreams and do what they want.

So the faces of Star University students are always filled with happy smiles.

There is even a carnival every week.

Students who love music and cooking would hold a party in the square.

Music majors accumulate performance experience through their acts.

And cooking majors provide free food and drink, but after eating, classmates would write their opinions on the food on the platform.

It’s fair to say that this method both entertains and enhances the students’ practical abilities.

Almost every student at Star University is continually improving themselves in happiness.

This teaching model is scoffed at by many education experts.

In their eyes, this kind of education is just wasting students’ time.

Some people even predict online that Star University won’t be able to recruit students next year.

Parents want their children to succeed; who would want their kids to spend their time in university partying and learning nothing after four years?

However, the students at Star University are very happy.

They learn the professional knowledge they want to without restrictions, doing what they wish to do.

But this teaching model is bound to face challenges.

Moreover, the situation reported by Lin Shiyin and Zhao Xiaoqian has caught Ye Chen’s attention.

Ye Chen learned that these kids have no other hobbies except gaming.

That’s right, these students are just killing time in dorms by playing games every day.

In high school, they were managed, although they wanted to play, the opposition from teachers and parents curbed their gaming impulse.

Now, coming to Star University, no one manages them anymore.

They were no longer restricted, and naturally, they indulged in gaming joyfully.

Currently, e-sports has not completely taken off, so in everyone’s eyes, playing games is considered unproductive.

Ye Chen also understands that this is indeed a very risky affair.

If these kids spend every day just gaming, disconnecting from society and peers, being immersed in the gaming world, it indeed hampers their life development.

Ye Chen gave these students freedom, but not indulgence.

"What do you two think?" Ye Chen asked Lin Shiyin and Zhao Xiaoqian.

Lin Shiyin said, "I think there should be a limit to gaming, so the school must intervene in this matter."

Zhao Xiaoqian also said, "Every parent sends their child to school to learn knowledge. If we let students play games without intervention, it’s not good for the parents, the students, or even the school’s reputation."

Ye Chen furrowed his brows after listening.

Previously, he promised all students he would give them the greatest freedom.

Intervening now would contradict his initial intention.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.

That is e-sports.

In the past life, e-sports had already become popular globally.

In this world, the development speed of games is very fast; e-sports have already appeared on major online platforms.

If these kids like it, why not create a new major, e-sports?

Let these kids turn e-sports into a profession.

Esports and being addicted to games are entirely different.

In the past life, e-sports had been classified as a sporting event, requiring players to have high concentration, psychological quality, and reaction ability.

Moreover, e-sports is not just spending time in front of a computer; it requires tactics, communication, training, and even physical exercise.

That is to say, let these kids form an e-sports team through systematic training.

Although e-sports is not yet widespread, it has already taken root and just needs a spark.

Ye Chen decided he would ignite this spark, making e-sports a recognized career in this world as well.

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen decided to take a risk.

Yes, it’s a risk.

After all, in this world, e-sports is not widespread.

In many people’s eyes, playing games is a waste of ambition.

Playing games has no future, no prospect; this is society’s perception of games.

In fact, Ye Chen also likes games, especially in the past life, watching e-sports players battle fiercely, there was a kind of exhilarating feeling.

Therefore, Ye Chen decided to form an electronic team belonging to Star University, providing a path for these game-loving students.

He wants everyone to know that playing games can also lead to success, and gaming can also become a source of pride.

Ye Chen made a surprising decision, looking at Zhao Xiaoqian and Lin Shiyin.

"Since they like gaming, let’s start an e-sports class."

E-sports?

Hearing Ye Chen’s terminology, the two were stunned.

They have to admit, the term is too unfamiliar to them.

Ye Chen explained to the two, "Already, there are a few games that are popular worldwide. Games like ’PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ and ’Honor of Kings’ will definitely have formal competitions in the future. If so, e-sports will also become an industry."

Lin Shiyin and Zhao Xiaoqian seemed half-understanding.

Zhao Xiaoqian worriedly said, "Mr. Ye, there’s no precedent for starting a gaming major, not in Hua Country or anywhere in the world. Our actions will surely provoke criticism from students, parents, and society."

Ye Chen smiled, "Since we want to innovate, obstacles are inevitable. I believe this path won’t be wrong. Notify the students right away."

Although they had some doubts about Ye Chen’s decision, Lin Shiyin and Zhao Xiaoqian chose to support him.

Quickly, more than twenty students received notification.

In a dormitory, a student with dark circles under his eyes stared at the computer screen.

His fingers danced on the keyboard with a clatter.

It seemed that whatever happened outside had nothing to do with him. He was completely immersed in the game world.

The boy’s name is Sun Ze, and he is considered a rich second-generation.

He is well cared for among the students.

Sun Ze’s biggest passion is games.

He used to be a good student but since he got into gaming, his grades have plummeted.

Although teachers and parents forbid him from gaming, he would skip classes to go to internet cafes, suffering many beatings for it.

But he loves gaming too much.

In the end, his parents had no choice but to let him be.

If it weren’t for Star University, Sun Ze might not even have had a chance to go to college.

Receiving the acceptance letter, his parents were overjoyed.

At least their son had become a university student.

They hoped he would change in university, at least make more friends.

But after entering university, Sun Ze locked himself in his bedroom, spending almost all his time in the gaming world except for meals.

He loves playing the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and is known as the ’Sniper God’ in the game.

In reality, he is a weirdo, but in the game, he is a revered god.

Sun Ze loves this feeling.

Just after finishing a game, Sun Ze suddenly received a notice from the school asking him to visit the principal’s office.

Seeing the notice, Sun Ze’s face changed immediately. Did the principal suddenly call him because of his gaming addiction?
