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

Chapter 7: 3 Months in the Mid Lane!

Fu Shiyan had already planned it out in his mind.

Make a name for yourself first, then consider joining a professional esports team.

After all, without a background or resources, it is extremely difficult for an unknown newcomer to gain a voice in the team, or even to eventually wield power in the training and competition group.

Instead of starting from the bench of a top league as a "high-ranking solo queue king," it's better to first make a name for yourself in solo queue, and even take advantage of opportunities such as video production and commentary on major tournaments to showcase your understanding of the game and training, so that truly knowledgeable mentors can see it.

By then, my esports career will be much easier, if not smooth sailing.

Therefore, as long as it doesn't conflict with the premise of "becoming famous", agreeing to Mo Ziye's request to join BJBS and help with the City Alliance Championship is a good choice.

At least I'll get a salary, and meals and accommodation will be provided. I'll definitely save money much faster than I am now, doing things haphazardly.

"Xiao Fu, just say what you want. As long as it's within my power, I'll agree to it."

Mo Ziye was overjoyed; it was truly a twist of fate.

He was ready to give up and planned to make do with the diamond mid laner he had previously selected.

Now, all he has to do is sit down and talk about the terms, and he can get a super strong player for his beloved team. Why would he have any objections?

"First, the team's say." Fu Shiyan said calmly, "It's not just about the command of the players, but also about training arrangements. No one in the management, including Boss Mo, should interfere arbitrarily."

"Of course." Mo Ziye nodded repeatedly. "You are the strongest among the five players, so you should be the one to lead. Besides, I was a professional player for a few days, and I know that the worst thing in a competition is for an amateur to direct an expert. Don't worry, even if I were the boss, I wouldn't interfere with your decisions."

As he spoke, he secretly held the young man in even higher regard.

It's not surprising that contestants want a voice and to be in charge;

What's surprising is that the other party actually took the initiative to request that the management not interfere with the team's training. Such clarity and foresight are rare in an eighteen-year-old.

Thank you for your understanding.

Similarly, Fu Shiyan was quite surprised to receive such a positive reply from Boss Mo.

Even in the world of esports, where esports was well-developed, team owners who could restrain themselves from interfering with the normal operation of their teams were rare breeds.

The saying "Leave professional matters to professionals" sounds simple, but few people can actually implement it perfectly.

"Hopefully, this Mr. Mo isn't just talking the talk."

With this in mind, Fu Shiyan continued to propose his second condition: "This second condition... is that I hope the contract signed with the BJBS team will be for a period of three months!"

"Three months?"

Mo Ziye was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood.

These young people are laying the groundwork for a peaceful and amicable fight in the future.

The City Championship starts in October and ends in December, exactly three months, which won't interfere with the transfer period of the LPL teams at all.

"Okay, three months it is, whatever you say!" Mo Ziye gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.

Under normal circumstances, how can a contract be signed like this?

But what can I do when my team needs them?

Four master ranks sound impressive, but that's only impressive within a small, localized area. On a national scale, they're practically no different from someone on the street.

He never expected such a lineup to actually make it into the professional league; he just wanted to fulfill his esports dream in another way.

If we could bring in this top-tier mid-laner, even if we didn't reach the quarterfinals or semifinals of the City Championship, just qualifying for the offline finals would significantly boost the reputation of "Never Say Goodbye" internet cafe.

This is the influence of the world's number one phenomenal online game.

Are there any other conditions?

Mo Ziye pressed on, his eyes revealing a hint of impatience.

"there is none left."

"Come on, let's sign the contracts we have first."

After the terms were agreed upon, Boss Mo didn't mince words. He immediately pulled out a pre-prepared standard contract from his drawer, quickly filled in the specific dates and signing period, and then handed it to Fu Shiyan.

"You...were prepared?"

Fu Shiyan took the contract, his fingers trembled, and he felt a strange chill run down his spine.

Why do I have this vague feeling that I'm being led around step by step, only to find out at the end that I'm the "prey"?

"Hehe." Before he could guess any further, Mo Ziye grinned and decided not to hide it anymore. "Now that things have come to this, I won't lie to you. Actually, I've been eyeing you ever since you first came to our 'See You Later' internet cafe and logged into the computer to start ranking up."

"You noticed me on the very first...first time?"

Fu Shiyan was taken aback.

"There's nothing I can do," Mo Ziye said, spreading his hands with a hint of smugness. "The team just happens to be short a mid-laner, and how could I let go of a potential star like you? Otherwise, why do you think there are always rich guys who like playing League of Legends randomly appearing at the camera next to you?"

Fu Shiyan was silent for two seconds, then slowly uttered a single word: "Six!"

He was too tired to complain, so he simply stopped thinking about it and looked down at the contract in his hand.

"This Mr. Mo... is quite an honest man."

The contract was straightforward, with all terms clearly stated. As a mid-laner, he earned 8,000 yuan a month, which was credited to his account precisely at 8:00 AM on the 3rd of each month.

The contract period was exactly the three months he had just proposed, which was probably somewhat like a "mercenary" arrangement. Unlike the long-term contracts between normal teams and players with exorbitant penalty clauses for breach of contract, this contract didn't even include any additional penalty options for him.

The bonus section wasn't omitted because he was a short-term worker; on the contrary, it clearly stated that the entire team would receive a reward of 10,000 yuan for advancing to the offline finals of the BC City League Championship.

Making it to the quarterfinals earns 20,000, the semifinals 30,000, the finals 40,000, and the champion earns 50,000 plus 40% of the prize money for the top spot in the city alliance championship.

Looking at that string of numbers, it would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.

However, Fu Shiyan knew in his heart that the prize money was just something to be envious of. With the configuration of those four amateur masters mentioned by Boss Mo, without the intervention of the training team and without systematic tactical refinement, and with so little time left—let alone making it to the finals, the BJBS team would have a hard time even making it to the offline competition.

After confirming that there were no problems with the contract, Fu Shiyan picked up his pen to sign it.

"etc!"

Mo Ziye suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Fu Shiyan looked up, his gaze filled with a hint of doubt.

Mo Ziye hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Although you're already eighteen and you've only signed a three-month short-term contract, it's still best to take you home to meet your elders. Don't think it's too much trouble."

He meant well, and his tone was sincere.

Having worked in the esports industry for a long time, I've seen too many young people sign contracts on a whim, only to have their families come knocking on their door later and causing trouble.

"Don't worry, I'm over 18, and the contract I signed is legally binding."

Fu Shiyan said this.

Without mentioning any guardian, Boss Mo, considering the fact that the young people had been spending most of their time in internet cafes these past few days, already had an answer in mind.
