Chapter 25 Abu: Go and kill the royal bastards!
"Ah, I don't know, probably not. We have to train every day, who has time to write that stuff?" Mouse replied, somewhat surprised.
Hearing this, Abu nodded. Looking at the online discussions, he genuinely believed they were written by someone from EDG.
There is no best, and their club cannot allow this kind of unhealthy trend to emerge.
If you want to make money, then stick to live streaming. That's the only side hustle the club allows. As for anything else, we'll crack down on it. Professional players should focus all their energy on the game.
As for other staff members, he will also investigate. If they are just ordinary staff members working part-time, then Abu will have to make him increase his efforts, write more about other clubs, and praise EDG more.
Upon hearing this news, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Is Wuzhuangtai an idiot? Why is he stirring up trouble for no reason?"
Lu Chen mentally scoffed. He didn't want Abu to investigate this matter. If he were strictly monitored, he would only be able to secretly type on his phone.
Updating 10,000 words a day with a mobile phone, even the eagle eating chickens would shed tears.
"Alright, everyone, get back to training and stop looking at trending topics online. You're having fun now, but the day you realize you're the one trending topic is about yourself, then you'll know what pain is."
Abu reminded him that when Meiko first came to EDG to play professionally, he was quite young and liked to read online opinions, and he would cry every time he read them.
"Xiao Lu, you especially need to train more these days and expand your hero pool. I will arrange for you to play in the Demacia Cup."
"OK."
Lu Chen's face lit up with joy. Ming Kai, his older brother, was indeed reliable. His era was about to begin.
As for Scout, he can go back to where he came from. Lu Chen believes that after the Demacia Cup, his chances of starting will be very high. After all, Scout has a cheat code, and Scout can't possibly have one too, right?
"Hekwi, I'll lead you to victory in the Demacia Cup, then you can just relax."
Deft chuckled upon hearing this, "Sure, if you can really let me win the game while lying down, I won't leave next year."
He patted Lu Chen on the shoulder with a smile. He only believed 30% of what Lu Chen had just said. Why 30%? Because he acknowledged Lu Chen's strength, but a match was different from a ranked game.
It remains to be seen how well Lu Chen will perform, especially since he will be facing top LPL mid laners.
The Demacia Cup finals are just around the corner, featuring six teams: EDG, RNG, IM, WE, Snake, and VG.
If Lu Chen can stabilize his position and avoid getting crushed, that would be a success. If he can also make a big splash, Deft thinks it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to listen to Pawn's advice and stay with EDG for another year.
The main issue is that KT, which they are currently in contact with, is just so-so. They are still considering whether to sign Pawn as well. Brother esports has been completely outmaneuvered by Deft.
At this moment, Scout's gaze toward Lu Chen turned hostile upon hearing Abu's words. After all, he couldn't possibly be friendly toward someone who coveted his starting mid-lane position.
But he quickly calmed down, realizing that sending Lu Chen up to play in the Demacia Cup would be a mistake. Scout believed that after one match, Lu Chen would have to be substituted and Scout would be brought on.
The online buzz continues, especially after Wu-Zhuang stirred up trouble, EDG and RNG's Weibo accounts have been engulfed in controversy, and it seems that no one is paying attention to the All-Star and Solo tournament championship anymore.
Uzi even posted on Weibo overnight—
Weibo user UziQAQ:
There's no need for these underhanded tactics; let's see who's the best on the field.
Below this Weibo post, he also included a picture of his Solo tournament championship trophy. Although EDG's official Weibo account clarified that it was not written by one of their employees, the Royal Never Give Up (RNG) fans did not believe it and were filled with intense anger.
[Explain your nonsense? Besides EDG, are there any other clubs capable of doing something like this?]
The conflict between pigs and dogs is long-standing and profound. If you dare to do something, you should dare to admit it. If you can't win a competition, do you resort to underhanded tactics?
[Did the Royal Never Give Up (RNG) fans get bitten by a rabid dog and contract rabies? When has EDG ever lost to your RNG?]
[Hilarious! Didn't RNG beat EDG to win the Spring Split championship in the first half of this year?]
[This is ridiculous! What does the Spring Championship have to do with Blaster? And then they won the Spring Championship but lost at MSI on their home turf?]
[The past is the past, the present is the present. You guys probably don't know how strong Uzi is now. Just wait and see how this trash team EDG gets crushed by Uzi in the Demacia Cup.]
[Stop talking nonsense, let's see who's the best in the game, okay? Bring that useless Lu Chen along, we RNG treat what we don't want as treasures.]
...
It has to be said that Lu Chen's defiant statement that the Solo Tournament champion doesn't count as a champion really infuriated the vast majority of Royal Never Give Up fans. In addition to venting on Weibo, Lu Chen's book review section also exploded.
Especially since no amount of reporting worked, it made them even more defensive.
Lu Chen was initially worried that the report would affect him, but after his editor Xiao Yu told him it was fine, Lu Chen felt relieved.
[As long as it's not plagiarism, illegal practices like artificially inflating readership, or anything like that, it's fine. Also, don't fabricate rumors, and it's best not to use real names; just use your ID.]
Some of the royal trolls saw that reporting was useless, so they had a flash of inspiration and directly gave Lu Chen a reward and left a message.
[You've really used up all your popularity, you clown! I'll give you a leader title, but if you're so capable, stop just criticizing Uzi! Why don't you criticize EDG instead? You motherless idiot!]
[Hilarious! This author is a die-hard fan. If he dares to criticize EDG, I'll immediately send him to Silver rank.]
[Is Mingkai's comment considered a criticism? He was just joking about 4396.]
[Have you even watched the game? Your writing is so presumptuous. Anyone who watched the game wouldn't criticize Xiao Gou!]
..
"true and false?"
Seeing that someone was going to tip him with silver coins, Lu Chen immediately became interested and joined in. He quickly received a reply: "[If you dare to criticize EDG, your whole family will die if you don't tip!]"
Having said that, what could Lu Chen say? Amidst the heated discussion, his task panel refreshed again at midnight—[Reach 3000 monthly votes to obtain the talent—Master Wine Tasting]
"Open the lottery!"
Whether it's for money or to improve his own skills, Lu Chen doesn't dare to be like those authors who skip work and ask for leave every day.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately got into creative mode. He was just criticizing EDG. Who said he was a die-hard fan?
Lu Chen considers himself a fun person. He doesn't support any team or any fan. In his previous life, he had cheered for various LPL teams.
Of course, he's also criticized others, and he often uses memes.
For example, spinning tops, Ultraman Mebius...
Thinking of this, Lu Chen decided to design a plot where the protagonist, Lin Tianran, joined EDG and won the All-Star Championship at the end of 14. He then conducted a live interview and criticized Uzi, which immediately caused an uproar. Many Uzi fans were so angry that they vented their anger on EDG.
You're trying to discredit my proud older brother, huh? You're in for it!
Amidst the trending topics, a revelation from a loyalist on various forums immediately emerged!
[What kind of valuable characters are in EDG? From Dead Sister to Useless Kayn, and then to the beast, not a single one of them is any good. Everyone knows about Nami's beef noodles, but today I'm going to tell you the origin of the nickname Dead Sister!]
Ji Xing, nicknamed "Dead Sister Bu", graduated from Yancheng Normal University, but he pretended to be a high-achieving student who had studied abroad. He joined WE in Season 3. At that time, Ji Xing wanted to rise to the top, so he cultivated a good relationship with IF, the support player of WE at the time, and introduced his sister to IF.
But! This so-called sister who was having an online romance with IF was actually Ji Xing in disguise. He pretended to be a woman online and dated IF. In reality, he used this relationship to quickly get promoted within WE. In the end, IF asked to meet his sister. Ji Xing was afraid of being exposed, so he said that his sister had died and successfully held a funeral for his sister online.
IF was deeply in love and couldn't recover for a long time, eventually fading into obscurity. Meanwhile, Ji Xing became a crucial figure in WE, but he wasn't satisfied. Then, because Peter Zhu wanted to establish EDG, he and Ming Kai went all out... What kind of good person do you think Ji Xing is?!
"Damn it, I'm disgusting myself."
Lu Chen thought to himself, "I have to say, this move by Sister Death is really disgusting. Even if you really introduced a sister to IF, you would have introduced someone from the void, who then impersonated her and held a virtual funeral."
Following this plot, Lu Chen quickly wrote 10,000 words, then clicked publish. Seeing his reaction time increase by 1 again, Lu Chen waited for feedback with a smile on his face.
At that moment, in Abu's office, influenced by the trending topic, he also went to read Lu Chen's novel.
It has to be said that it's somewhat interesting, especially when he saw the new explanation about Mingkai 4396, which was also a case of "turtles running commuter schools"—"turtles not living at school."
A moment later, the smile on his face disappeared because he saw the latest chapter and saw himself appear in the text, and everything he said was correct!
"Which bastard is this?!" Abu's face immediately turned red with anger, especially after seeing the readers' comments, he completely lost his temper.
[66666! I didn't know that happened!! I mean, why do they call him Dead Sister!]
[Holy crap, the author's really here! Aren't you supposed to be a die-hard fan? You've really screwed yourself over! You've offended both the royal faction and the pig faction at the same time—you're in for it!]
[The author's main message is equality for all; where is that royalist who said he'd give them silver?]
Hahaha, I can already smell the gunpowder!
..
Abu scrolled through the comments section and instantly understood what had happened. When he saw that it was the royal fans' donations that made Lu Chen criticize him, he became even more defensive.
"Okay, okay, so that's how you play!"
After checking the schedule, Abu discovered that their first match in the Demacia Cup was against RNG. He immediately found Lu Chen, looking serious.
"Xiao Lu, I have a task for you!"
"Go and kill those damned royal traitors!"
