LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 40: The Mid Laner Won MVP!

A coffee shop downstairs from the "See You Later" internet cafe.

Afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a slanted glow on the table, where two cold Americanos sat side by side.

The newly signed contract lay spread out on the table, the ink on the last page still wet, glistening slightly in the light.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

After signing his name, Fu Shiyan put down his pen and stood up first, extending his hand to the person opposite him.

"And thank you for your hard work, Brother Ye."

Fu Shiyan changed how he addressed Boss Mo.

To express his respect and gratitude to the other party, in the past two days, in addition to leading the team in training, he also dragged the jungler to continue climbing the ranks in the national server and finally reached the top.

All the negotiations with Huya were handled by the other party.

Clearly, Mr. Mo was very satisfied with the contract he had secured for him.

The contract period is one year, and the signing fee is 1.5 million after tax!

Yes, from being completely unknown and having to rely on teaching others how to play games to earn two hundred dollars for internet access, to becoming a "star streamer" with a net worth of millions, it only took a week.

But this is the era of internet traffic. The world's number one online game, coupled with the Chinese server with the largest number of users, and the title of the number one Chinese server.

And through a series of coincidences, his crushing victory over Dopa, the former king of ranked games, ultimately led to his current fame.

"It was a pleasure to cooperate with you!" Qin Weichuan stood up, unable to suppress his smile. When he shook hands with her, he deliberately dragged out the word "pleasant," as if he were savoring some incredible victory.

Qin Weichuan held Fu Shiyan's hand, not in a hurry to let go;

"Crush, to be honest, you are the most composed young person I have ever met at your age, with clear and specific goals and life plans."

"You flatter me. I just understand one principle: your position determines the food you eat. Some things may look delicious, but if you don't have the digestive capacity, eating them can easily cause an upset stomach."

Faced with the flowery sedan chair from the head of Huya, Fu Shiyan calmly replied.

Having signed the contract, Qin Weichuan, completely relaxed, couldn't help but laugh. Half with emotion and half with self-deprecation, he added, "It wasn't for nothing that I risked being fired or even being sent to Antarctica to feed penguins to promote you before you signed the contract."

God knows what he's been through these past two days.

From the initial excitement of discovering that the rising star of the Chinese server, "Crush," had quietly started streaming on their platform, to the moment when they took it upon themselves to promote his stream, it resulted in a cosmic bombshell—Crush's live stream across the entire network completely overwhelmed their own LOL section's star player, igniting a sense of panic among the platform's esports community.

Then, the plan was approved by the management at the meeting, giving him a belated but fortunate escape.

Then, he was already gearing up for a big money war with the neighboring Shark Live – winning over talent is all about throwing money around. He even prepared several versions of the pricing plan overnight, including signing fees, revenue-sharing agreements, and annual data packages.

The results of it?

As a result, Crush directly gave up the personal contract, which offered significantly higher pay and more freedom in terms of signing, and instead took the initiative to propose signing the professional team-style contract that Huya promotes.

Thinking of this, Qin Weichuan glanced at Fu Shiyan again, his gaze complex—as if he were looking at a monster.

Aside from adding four other unknown BJBS streamers and the additional business of broadcasting the City Championship, the entire process of signing Crush was completely smooth.

For him, as long as he could keep Crush on the platform, he'd be willing to make the decision on twenty, let alone two. He'd never even heard of the four people from BJBS; they were probably just a few unpopular small-time streamers. Their platform had signed a ton of those professional small-time streamers, so four more or less wouldn't make a difference. As for increasing the broadcast of the City Championship—that was even less of a problem.

Their main business is professional esports.

Even if the city championship takes a wild approach, it's still a competition.

Qin Wei picked up his now-cold coffee and drank most of it in one gulp. As the icy liquid slid down his throat, he finally felt the weight lift from his chest after two days of anxiety.

"Crush," he put down his cup, staring intently at the young man across from him, then looked at Mo Ziye, who had been negotiating the contract details with him for the past two days, and said, "To be honest, I'm starting to look forward to seeing what kind of trouble you guys will cause next."

"From the City Championship all the way to LSPL, and even LPL - if you can really do that, then in the League of Legends professional scene in 2016, you will be the brightest new star, without exception."

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Mo, who was sitting opposite him, burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes, brother!"

Mo Ziye laughed heartily, his mouth stretching almost to his ears, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.

He picked up his glass and clinked it against the other person's, the crisp sound particularly pleasant in the private room.

Of course he would laugh, and he would laugh the loudest of all.

There's no way around it, this signing is fantastic for BJBS.

Besides Xiao Fu, the star of the show, who got a satisfactory live streaming contract, the other four members of the team also signed a binding contract worth 100,000 yuan after tax each.

This amount may not be astronomical in the professional scene, but for several internet cafe team players who haven't yet achieved any results, it's a real show of sincerity.

To Mo Ziye's surprise, Huya even offered to provide BJBS team with a special sponsorship fund specifically for the City Championship.

The amount isn't extravagant, but it's enough to cover travel, accommodation, and daily training expenses during the competition.

Mo Ziye truly has no shortage of money.

To be able to open four "Never Say Goodbye" internet cafes in a place like Shanghai where land is incredibly expensive, the rent and property fees alone would be a sum that most people wouldn't even dare to dream of. What's more, the properties where these four internet cafes are located are all under his name—just from the appreciation of these properties and the rental income, he has already reached a level of wealth that most people can't even dream of.

The problem is, having money is far from enough to seriously play esports.

He'd seen far too many business owners in this industry who burned through their cash and then quietly disappeared.

You need connections to get involved, resources to connect with events, platforms, and sponsors, and, most importantly, a robust system to consistently achieve results, nurture players, and propel them upwards. These things can't be directly exchanged for the balance in your bank account.

Now, he's struck gold in terms of ensuring good grades—although he got it through sheer luck in gacha pulls.

Comrade Xiao Fu was a random player he discovered in his internet cafe. At first, he just thought that this young man's skills and awareness were ridiculously good, so he casually pulled him into a team. Who would have thought that he would actually be a hidden SSR gold card?

As for the remaining weakness—resources.

Huya's entry into the market has perfectly filled this gap for him.

From connecting with official tournament resources at all levels such as LPL, LSPL, and City Heroes Championship, to providing teams with dedicated live streaming rooms, and then to potential content production and commercial cooperation, Huya has laid out this entire system, and BJBS, from a grassroots internet cafe team, has finally begun to take the shape of a "regular army".

This time, the mid laner was definitely the MVP!

Waaah, Mr. Cao, now I understand how you felt back then when you were faced with the trial card of your beloved Guan Yu.

Xiao Fu is also my ideal man on my e-sports journey!
