Chapter 8: Team Invitation

  "Congratulations, Summoner!"

  You have been promoted to the strongest king in the single row!

  "Good luck to you in the land of justice!"

  The king's badge displayed on the computer screen made Chen Cheng and Ge Dapao stunned for a long time, both of them were excited beyond self-control!

  The strongest king, really came up!

  "Cow, too cow, Chen Cheng you little devil confess honestly, why suddenly so cow?" Ge Dapao still can't quite get over it even now. From the moment Chen Cheng brought him to watch this promotion match, he had been constantly shocked by new surprises, and now he already feels like he can't take it anymore.

  First was the King's promotion match third game, then ranked No. 1 and blew it up, finally even came a ranking 27 winning streak!

  This sounds like a dream come true!

  "Ge has always been so awesome, it's just that you're usually too busy worrying about Cang Laoshi to notice." Chen Cheng made an excuse.

  "Get out, I clearly remember that you were Diamond 5 just a week ago and stupidly pointed at the screen and told me it was very suspicious. It's only been a few days and you've already reached King? This is too fake!" Ge Dapao ridiculed.

  Chen Cheng smiled slyly and said calmly: "You're a bit too arrogant, but you can also become the king!"

  As soon as Ge heard Chen Cheng teasing himself again, he immediately became unhappy, "You don't understand this, do you? How did my single brother's speed come out of a thousand years of practice? I'm counting on this!"

  “…………”

  Just as the two were still teasing each other, a prompt tone suddenly came from the computer, an ID called "Fenghui Battle Team Coach" applied to add Chen Cheng as a friend.

  "Hello, are you interested in playing professionally?"

  Just added, a message flew out in front of Chen Cheng's eyes.

  Go pro!

  As soon as they saw this word, Chen Cheng and Ge Dapao were both shocked, with an expression of disbelief.

  Unexpectedly, there's already a team coming to find me?

  "Fenghui Battle Team? What kind of team is this, I don't seem to have heard of it before. Could it be a scam? These days, online scammers are not to be underestimated!" Ge Dapao said with great suspicion.

  "It shouldn't be, I've heard of this Fenghui team before, it seems to be the renamed ZOO club from before. They played against ONG last year and I happened to watch it, but they lost miserably, not a top-tier team, probably an LSPL team!" Chen Cheng said, and promptly searched for the Fenghui team on Baidu, and indeed found that they were a team participating in the 2014 LSPL Summer Season.

  LSPL, also known as the LPL Qualifier or Secondary League, is a qualifying tournament for the top domestic competition, LPL. The top two teams in each season's league qualify to enter the LPL in the next season and compete against the country's strongest teams, making it the most formal professional league after the LPL.

  "Hello." Chen Cheng replied conservatively, indicating someone was present.

  "Hello, I'm the coach of Fenghui team. Just watched your live match against Nuofeng. Have you played professionally before?" The other party replied quickly.

  "No, I'm just a casual player."

  "Then may I ask if you can leave a phone number? We've taken a liking to you and would like to invite you to join our team as the starting mid laner. The treatment will be good, are you interested?" Seeing Chen Cheng's clean background, the other side became even more eager.

  "...… Chen Cheng did not expect his opponent to be so frank, which left him at a loss for words for the time being."

  "Chen Cheng, you little brat is going to make it big!" Ge Dapao suddenly became excited. "Damn, being a professional player is so cool! From now on, I don't have to go to work anymore, just play games all day and get paid for it. Plus, I can open a live streaming room and earn extra money easily. And I can travel around the world for free! Most importantly, I can pick up girls! Isn't that EDC team's player, whoever, known as the legendary pickup master? I heard he changes girls every few days, so cool! -Damn, I also want to be a pro player!"

  Chen Cheng was speechless. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was his university classmate, he would have kicked him flying long ago!

  "Thank you for the invitation, but such a big thing, I need time to consider." Chen Cheng finally replied with this sentence, after all, changing professions is not a trivial matter, he didn't dare make a decision lightly!

  Chen Cheng's intention was unclear, and although the other party was very disappointed, they had no choice but to give up. They left behind a phone number, telling Chen Cheng that if he wanted to play professionally, he could call that number, and they would send a car to pick him up at that time.

  Have to say, Fenghui team is indeed very sincere.

  But after all, it's a matter of deciding the direction of one's future life, how could Chen Cheng be reckless?

  Late at night, Chen Cheng lay on his small bed, tossing and turning, his mind full of the Fenghui team's invitation.

  As a loyal player of League of Legends, Chen Cheng naturally pays attention to the events related to this globally popular game, from the annual S series and All-Star Game to domestic LPL and LSPL, Chen Cheng has watched them all. Especially the weekly live LPL league on the game interface, he almost never misses a single match.

  Even so, Chen Cheng would occasionally go to YY and Douyu to watch some professional players' and powerful anchors' live streams in first-person perspective, learning from the greats' gameplay and experience, and improving himself.

  But now, the problem is coming, he also has a chance to become a professional player!

  To be honest, Chen Cheng had thought about becoming a professional player and overnight sensation, even a godlike figure, capturing a large number of fans and achieving both fame and fortune, but after understanding the industry better, he realized how naive his thoughts were.

  Ge Dapao is a big gun, looks at the problem not through the brain, but Chen Cheng will not. Maybe he's right, professional players who have made a name for themselves can indeed have a handsome salary and prize money income, and even just opening a live broadcast can attract tens of thousands of fans to support them, gaining both fame and fortune - but this is only limited to those star players in the big-name teams, these people are undoubtedly the top few at the pinnacle of the golden pyramid. For most ordinary professional players, all of this is just a fantasy!

  What kind of internet cafe league is this City Heroes Championship? **A championship, China's LPL teams have at least eighty, not to mention one hundred!

  But among these 80 teams, only 8 can enter the top-level LPL league in China. Among these 8 top teams, each team has at most one or two star players, and some teams don't even have one. No one can become famous overnight!

  Even LPL is like this, let alone LSPL which is a second-tier league?

  Ordinary professional players may not have a large number of fans, and it's possible that even people who know you are only a handful!

  Even fans don't have it, let alone powder?

  Just like Chen Xiang, as a player he has watched several years of competitions, but the professional players who can really call out names are only LPL and the top gods in other regions around the world. As for the secondary league LSPL, he knows no more than one hand!

  Can't help but say, Ge Dapao is also living in a dream, only then would he say such nonsense.
