Chapter 28: Military Order!

  When Lulu and Bai Yueyue returned to the office, a new contract with the same content as before but with a term changed from two years to one year was quickly printed out by Bai Yueyue.

  Bai Yue handed a new contract to Chen Cheng, smiling and saying: "After careful consideration, Sister Lulu has agreed to your request, so you can sign it now?"

  Chen Cheng's face was calm, and after taking over the contract, he looked at it again.

  It seems that Chen didn't hold any grudges from their previous disagreement, as he helped persuade and even personally reprinted the contract. The white crescent moon, who had been busy running back and forth until he was out of breath, finally let out a sigh of relief. As long as they could keep this little ancestor on the team, it would be worth all the hard work.

  "Excuse me, there are many additional clauses and legal constraints in this contract that I don't quite understand. Can I take it back to ask a friend for help before signing?" Chen Cheng looked at the white crescent moon, he had studied software programming in college and was almost completely ignorant of legal knowledge.

  To be on the safe side, Chen Cheng still decided to ask an experienced friend for help, so as not to be cheated and end up counting money for someone else.

  He is not one of those silly young men who ran away from home without even graduating from high school to play professional sports, he knows the world is a treacherous place and it's necessary to be on guard against others!

  "As soon as Lulu heard Chen Cheng's request, she almost blew her lungs out. If it weren't for the white crescent moon who didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine and insisted on keeping this guy, she would have kicked this guy who repeatedly challenged her bottom line out of the office long ago!"

  What does he think he is? And what is LCD Club again? A scammer and a scam company?

  As a well-known female strongman in the e-sports circle, when did Lulu ever suffer such humiliation?

  She had a good first impression of this clean and tidy young university student, so when she declined Chen Cheng's invitation to play a training match due to age reasons at White Moon, she recommended him to play instead.

  Although Lulu was really annoyed with her coach sticking to her all day, and had a mind to sneak away for a bit, if it were some guy with acne all over his face and a greasy pompadour, she definitely wouldn't have helped him out.

  After all, it's not easy to find a professional player who looks good in the e-sports circle that has always focused on results and doesn't care about personal image!

  Chen Cheng's fair and clean face added a lot of points for him.

  But that was only before Chen Cheng proposed to modify the contract period. When Chen Cheng stood up from his chair and uttered a cold farewell, this bonus had already been completely offset!

  As the person in charge of the entire club, especially a noble and strong woman who would make both old men and young boys feel intimidated by her sharp gaze, Lulu had never been disobeyed like this before!

  The LOL team of the LCD club is not considered to be one of the top teams in the country, compared to W1 and IC, which are e-sports giants, they are a notch below, but after all, they are still one of the top eight teams in the LPL, the highest domestic league, and are far superior to those third-rate teams!

  As long as she moves her fingers, is it still hard to get a strong mid laner?

  If it weren't for White Moon's persistent begging, Lulu would have blown her top long ago!

  Now Chen Cheng, in Lulu's heart, has become a negative score man. Especially when this guy even asked to take the contract home to review it carefully, Lulu's almond eyes were about to spew fire!

  Got a good deal and still showing off, it's unbearable!

  Just as Lulu was about to sternly refuse Chen Cheng, the white crescent moon took a step forward and stood in front of him, saying magnanimously: "Of course it's okay, everyone will be family soon, why be so polite over such a small matter?"

  Bai Yue patted Chen Cheng's shoulder with a enthusiastic expression as if they were brothers from now on!

  “…………”

  Until Chen Cheng left with the contract, the noisy office finally quieted down, but at some point a strong killing intent appeared.

  "Lulu, Chen Cheng is just a university graduate who has just entered the workforce for the first time and doesn't know our rules. Let's not bother with this kid, shall we?" White Moon Tooth said in a flattering tone. He detected a strong killing intent from his female boss's eyes.

  "Little kid? I don't see how he's much younger than you!" Lulu snorted, her discontent growing even more intense.

  As a retired LOL professional player for less than two years, Bai Yueya is indeed only a few years older than Chen Cheng.

  "Cough... being older is also an advantage, right? Mentally mature and less likely to collapse during the competition?" White Crescent awkwardly retorted.

  "Hmph, who was it that previously complained about someone's age being too old and changed their expression as soon as they met? If I didn't have to maintain my image at all times, Lulu would've jumped up and smashed White Moon's face with a few slaps! If it wasn't for me stepping in earlier, that guy would've been kicked out the door already!"

  But speaking of which, isn't this a bit of self-inflicted entanglement?

  The white-haired old man's face turned red with anger, and he who was normally eloquent was at a loss for words.

  All I can say is that Chen Cheng performed exceptionally well in the training match against SKT, completely changing White Moon's impression of him. If before the training match, Chen Cheng was just a high-scoring player in White Moon's eyes, then after the training match, he has risen to the level of being comparable to the top domestic mid laners!

  It's even more than that!

  In the eyes of Bai Yuejiao, Chen Cheng is like an uncarved jade, as long as he can be cultivated a little, he will surely make a big splash in the league one day, and his potential is limitless!

  "Xiao Bai, tell me the truth, is a newcomer really worth us going to such great lengths to retain him?" Seeing that White Moon didn't speak for a long time, Lulu's tone also softened greatly. As a veteran member of the club, White Moon was still deeply respected by her.

  "It's worth it, of course it's worth it!" The white crescent moon nodded heavily.

  "How could I not have seen this? Even if he's that good, he's still just a rookie. There are plenty of examples in our line of work where people with the genius halo get brought into the professional circle but become nobodies on the actual stage. Why is White Moon's attitude changing so much, it's like a 180-degree turn!" Lulu said, unable to understand, but it was just a training match, she couldn't comprehend why White Moon's attitude changed so drastically.

  This made her extremely puzzled, having been in this line for a long time, what kind of genius contestants and high-scoring players had she not seen? But how many can really grow up in professional leagues and achieve results?

  Professional matches are fundamentally different from street ball, those high-scoring players who are invincible in street ball, like Lulu, I don't know how many I've seen, but as soon as they step onto the competition stage, these people immediately get crushed back to their original form, so bad it's unbearable to watch!

  "Rank as fierce as a tiger, game as weak as a dog", that's the kind of "King of Glory" who is all bark and no bite!

  With so many years of professional experience, can't you see through this point?

  "Lulu, I understand what you're saying, but he's different, he has a fundamental difference from other road players!" As soon as Chen Cheng was mentioned, the white crescent moon's eyes lit up, and even his tone became more solemn and excited. "Let me put it this way, ordinary high-scoring road players are strong in personal operation and deep understanding of certain heroes. Honestly, some of their individual strength is not much different from professional players, so we often see scenes where road players beat professional players in a ranked match..."

  "But what does that represent? It's just the most superficial thing, with tens of millions of players on the national server, and the number of people with impressive operations is countless. It can't be denied that they are indeed very powerful, but it's just a bit of operation. Let them go play against professional teams, it's no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, it's impossible not to get played badly!"

  "Go on." Lulu listened intently, although she was a DOTA player and had only reached the gold rank in LOL, but many aspects of DOTA and LOL were interchangeable, so she knew whether White Moonlight was fooling her or not.

  Not to mention LOL, which relies more on team coordination. Even in DOTA, where individual strength is crucial, if you put together a team of five 2000+ ranked players and have them compete against a third-rate professional team, the outcome would be absolutely predictable!

  What is a war team?

  The most fundamental difference between a professional team and a group of random players is that the five members of a professional team can add up to 1+1+1+1+1, resulting in an infinitely greater team strength than 5, but the sum of the strengths of the five members of a random player's team will always be infinitely less than 5!

  It's a no-brainer, otherwise what's the point of having these clubs? Can't they just directly invest in several amateur teams?

  "But Chen Cheng is different, even if he were to play against professional teams right now, I believe he would never be in a situation where he's completely helpless and can't fight back!" White Moonlight patted his chest to guarantee.

  "Are you so sure?" Lulu became even more curious. "He hasn't even been on the battlefield, how do you know what he'll be like in a real battle? Tell me, which team in the LPL is vegetarian?"

  "This is his own innate talent, and has nothing to do with the opponent's strength!" The white crescent moon shook its head.

  "What talent?" Lulu asked further.

  "As for understanding this game!" White Crescent Moon replied with a serious face.

  "What's your understanding of the game?" Lulu didn't understand.

  "Not bad, most of the players who are called 'roadside gods' either have very bright operations or are particularly strong in one aspect. At most, they just understand a certain hero or a few heroes very deeply." Bai Yue explained. "But Chen Cheng is different, he doesn't rely on a particular ability or a single hero, but rather on his understanding of the entire game. This is where a player's greatest strength lies - in my estimation, his understanding of this game has already reached heights that many professional players have not yet attained!"

  Recalling Chen Cheng's perfect performance in the previous training match, the white crescent moon suddenly felt a little ethereal and intoxicating!

  "Is it really as exaggerated as you said?" Lulu was still unwilling to believe, this being the first time he had heard White Moon praise a newcomer so much.

  "We've been there, done that!" The white crescent moon had a confident look on her chest. "Lulu, let me put it this way, Chen Cheng is exactly the kind of player our LCD team has been lacking. Why have we never been able to achieve any results? It's because we lack a team brain who can control the pace of the game and grasp the situation - to say something arrogant, even if the great devil himself joined our team, he probably wouldn't be as helpful or bring as much progress as Chen Cheng!"

  "Ah... I'm telling you, Xiao Bai, what benefits did that little brat give you?" The serious expression on White Moon's face almost made Lulu burst out laughing. When White Moon said the three words "Great Demon King", she felt like she couldn't communicate with this crazy guy anymore!

  He's going to blow the sky apart if he keeps blowing like this!

  Upon hearing this, White Moon's face suddenly flushed red: "Sister Lulu, you can distrust me, but you cannot insult my character!"

  "Haha... Alright, alright, I won't insult you, I believe what you said. Is that enough?" Lulu suppressed her laughter and looked at the white crescent moon with a playful expression. "Since you've praised this kid so much, I naturally have to give you some face too, right? Here's the deal: the LPL summer split is about to start, let's make a military order - if your team can't even make it into the playoffs again, your personal year-end bonus will be cancelled and the team activity fund will be halved. That's final, no room for negotiation!"

  As soon as he heard the keyword "war team activity fund", Bai Yueyue immediately felt that he had been deceived, but when he wanted to regret and change his words, it was already too late. Lulu had hummed a pleasant little love song and walked out of the door with her plump buttocks, leaving only a back view full of infinite imagination!

  PS: I finally finished writing, it's a big chapter of nearly 4,000 words. If many new books are divided into two chapters of 2,000 words each, it can also be forcibly split into two chapters. However, Xiaomao doesn't like to do such things that would affect the reader's feelings. Today is just one update, and from tomorrow on, there will be two updates again. If something comes up, I'll explain in advance so as not to keep readers waiting anxiously. Speaking of which, after writing for so long, I haven't even had time to take a sip of water, and my stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time. No more talk, gotta go find some food now~~
