Chapter 21 Because your exasperated look is just like Uzi's.
joke.
He decided to become a professional gamer with the sole aim of winning championships, earning a lot of money, and living a life of boundless joy!
He never wanted to live a life where he had to rely on writing books to make ends meet, and there were no holidays for 365 days a year.
Lu Chen acknowledged that Faker is very strong, and that he won six championships through hard work, sweat, and unwavering passion.
But if, I mean if.
An opponent with cheat codes, whose skill level never declines, stands before you. How will you, Faker, deal with that?
You have hard work, sweat, and passion, while I have the shackles of reaching the peak to break through doubts…
"Awesome!" Meiko clicked her tongue, and after a moment of astonishment, Deft immediately burst into laughter.
He didn't think Lu Chen was joking.
How so?
He had this confidence when he first started playing professionally, but after actually participating in professional matches and encountering various opponents, he realized how ignorant his confidence was.
Mingkai patted Lu Chen's head. "You don't have a fever. How come you can hold more than Doraemon's pocket?"
"Hahaha."
"Brother Kai, I advise you to watch your words. I've trained in Muay Thai."
After Lu Chen's antics, although they had only just met, they were all energetic young people, and their relationship had indeed become much closer.
We'll invite Pawn, Mouse, and a few others to go to EDG's cafeteria for lunch.
It can be said that Lu Chen went through thick and thin with EDG on his very first day at the company.
However, the online buzz continues, with several parties arguing fiercely, and the news of Lu Chen joining EDG has spread throughout the entire LPL community.
"How did EDG manage to snatch it away!" Zhu Kai pounded his thigh, somewhat annoyed. Now, all he could do was consider Taizi.
Since things have come to this, let's order some takeout for our team members first.
At the same time, inside the RNG club, manager San Shao was quite excited to see the trending topic on the internet.
"Alright, let's settle both old and new scores now."
Although EDG is at its peak, they have always been at odds with RNG, and the conflict between their fans is a daily source of endless drama.
With Lu Chen joining EDG, it's like settling old scores and new grudges all at once.
"I think you're overthinking it, manager. Even if he joins EDG, he'll only be able to play for the second team at most. You don't think that being number one in the Korean server means you can play in the LPL, do you? There's Scout above him."
Xiao Hu remained calm and didn't seem to care about the matter at all.
Nonsense, why would he care about one of his own unknown substitutes?
Let's talk about it when we can stand on the same stage as ourselves.
"He'd better drown in the shower," Uzi scoffed in agreement.
Although Lu Chen's Weibo post did not name names, he still felt that Lu Chen was being sarcastic and mocking.
I sat at the same table as the author of that disgusting novel.
Thinking of this, Uzi glanced at his phone and found that it hadn't updated yet, so he clicked report again.
"Damn it, every time you update, I'll report you."
Uzi has his eye on this novel, and if it reaches the point where he has to send a lawyer's letter, he will definitely not hold back.
...
After arriving at EDG, Lu Chen thought he would be facing endless training.
It's said that EDG is one of the teams with the strictest requirements for professional players.
As it turned out, Lu Chen was overthinking things.
Training is training, but someone at his level only plays ranked games regularly; he's not qualified to participate in scrimmages.
Arranged by Abu, Scout will be the mid laner participating in the scrims. According to Abu, Lu Chen will make his own arrangements and participate in scrims occasionally. Abu will find an opportunity to let Lu Chen play.
That makes sense. Even if they spent a lot of money to recruit Lu Chen into the club, their focus is still on Scout.
As for Meiko and Mingkai, they are fully preparing for the All-Star Game, while Deft and Pawn are actively contacting their next teams.
At the same time, Abu also gave Lu Chen an advance of one month's salary to ensure his basic living.
After paying taxes, Lu Chen received over 40,000 yuan. He sent 20,000 yuan to his parents, which scared them so much that they thought he had done something illegal.
After all, Lu Chen had been a youth trainer for two years, and he usually didn't ask his family for money. This time, he took the initiative to send money, which really shocked his parents.
"Son, you said you switched clubs? You're about to make a name for yourself?"
"yes."
"Go home. The village chief said he's going to give gold bars to every household in a few days."
"Dad, are you kidding me?"
"You were the one who joked with your old man first."
"..."
It took Lu Chen several explanations before his parents finally believed that his salary had increased several times over.
The moment it was confirmed, his father immediately changed his tune—"My son has the potential to be a triple crown champion!"
Most parents care about their children. Although they didn't quite agree with Lu Chen dropping out of school to play e-sports, things had already come to this point. In the past two years, the two elders had learned some basic knowledge about e-sports.
They were familiar with Faker, and when they first saw Faker's official photos from Season 3, they thought he was a murderer.
You know what, it really does look like it.
"Hey Lu, wanna duo queue?"
After Lu Chen hung up the phone, Ming Kai suddenly came over and said, "Tian Ye is such a jerk. After a few matches, he said he was going to find a web novel author to challenge. He gave him a reward but he still didn't update the chapter."
"Come."
A moment later, Lu Chen's roar echoed throughout the training room.
"Kai, what are you afraid of? Go up and kick him! Even in a ranked game, you'd rather do nothing than make a mistake!"
"Damn it! You little brat, do you believe I'll ban your account right now!" Mingkai said, getting a little angry.
Lu Chen's shout was heard by everyone, and Pawn, that rascal, couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, you know what, it's actually quite nice to stay with EDG."
"Yeah," Deft nodded, "It's just too difficult, I don't want to go to the quarterfinals again."
"He said he'd lead me to victory; that kid's really something."
"Do you think it's possible?" Pawn's question stumped Deft.
He was about to blurt out "It's impossible," but then he thought better of it and didn't say it. He just glanced at Lu Chen silently.
The top player in the Korean server is very strong, but there is still a long way to go before they can win the championship.
"Kai, listen to my advice, you absolutely must not pick Lee Sin during the All-Star blind pick."
Why?
"Do you think your Lee Sin will get kicked around like a soccer ball?"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ming Kai laughed in anger, "You little brat, you look down on my Lee Sin, huh? You won't let me choose, but I'll choose anyway. I'll show you what the world's number one Lee Sin is all about."
Lu Chen shrugged helplessly. He had reminded Ming Kai, but he couldn't do anything about it if Ming Kai didn't listen.
A memorable scene of All-Stars playing soccer is probably inevitable.
Seeing Scout's expression, Lu Chen immediately raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.
"Let me be your substitute? In your next life!"
The reason he chose EDG is because this team is the top team in the LPL, and Scout's position is not yet secure.
Unlike other teams' mid laners, who basically have no chance to get ahead.
It's good that he doesn't have much training; at least he can focus on writing.
As the Ranked game progressed into the early hours of the morning, Lu Chen stared at his retina and, sure enough, the words on his panel had changed again.
[Upon reaching 1500 reads, the talent "Close Your Eyes and Invoke the Gods" can be extracted.]
[Today's update of 10,000 words, not yet completed]
"1500, damn, that's way too much." Lu Chen complained a few times, but after looking at the data of his book, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It should arrive in a few days."
Thanks to trending topics and recommendations, his book now has 5000 favorites, a number far exceeding its initial popularity.
"Open the lottery!"
Lu Chen glanced around furtively, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately opened the author assistant backend.
This is an old habit of online novel writers.
Nobody wants to be discovered while they're writing; there's always a slight sense of shame.
Looking back at the plot, Lu Chen immediately had a burst of inspiration. After the protagonist Lin Tianran posted that short Weibo post, it naturally attracted many netizens to comment.
Alliance novels can never lack humor, and netizens' comments are often the funniest.
You know what, Imp is actually a little afraid of Uzi.
Indeed, it's likely that OMG's performance was lackluster this year, given Uzi's absence; they managed a clean sweep against White Shield but ultimately lost to an internal rivalry.
...
As Lu Chen wrote this, his thoughts flowed more smoothly. What followed was the very standard reaction of everyone, and the next step was to consider which team the protagonist should join.
With the help of cheats, the protagonist also reached the top of the Chinese server, attracting the attention of various clubs.
At this point, the author's masterful touch comes into play, arranging a plot that leads to a particular team.
At the end of Season 4, and in the next season, Season 5, there aren't really any good teams.
After thinking it over, Lu Chen finally decided to send the protagonist, Lin Tianran, to EDG.
Teaming up with peak Pawn and Deft, at least on paper, they were at the level to win the championship. In addition, Season 5 was the version of heavy armor warriors, and warrior equipment was cheap and overpowered, so the protagonist had a lot of room to shine.
There weren't any major problems. He successfully signed a contract with the club based on his own abilities. Then, while waiting for the start of the next season, he improved his skills by streaming ranked games and occasionally entertained the fans in the live stream.
Suddenly, a large face appeared in the black screen of the live stream, startling the fans who were scattering flowers at the memorial service.
"No, are you royal fans secretly in love with me? You've been waiting in my live stream even before I start streaming."
Amidst a chorus of insults, Lin Tianran pulled out pink earphones and a pacifier, while still drinking rock sugar pear soup.
Although the audience may not understand the meaning based on the timeline in the book, the readers of the book are from this period and will naturally understand these references.
"What do you guys think? My new look, what score would you give it? You wouldn't understand, I'm planning a live stream today to invite the gods, so I'll start by showing you how I can eat three roads at once!"
"Playing AD is easy, isn't it? Just have a four-protect-one strategy, get three core items, farm all the gold, and then don't do any damage in team fights."
Although Lin Tianran didn't say it explicitly, the viewers in the live stream noticed that he seemed to be hinting at something.
Then, if Uzi were to suddenly die during a team fight across all three lanes on his livestream, and then take a sip of rock sugar pear soup as a contrast, the entertainment value would instantly increase.
The rest of the story is pretty much a different story. Uzi, a Royal Never Give Up fan, loses his temper, a conflict breaks out, and the pace quickens. Let's jump to the upcoming Spring Split.
As for what the main character will do, it's hard to guess.
"Done, that's a wrap." Lu Chen checked for typos; recently, many readers had been pointing out his typos.
He couldn't do anything about it. It's like doing a test. Unless there are special circumstances, the author can hardly see the mistakes, and the AI's error correction function isn't that powerful.
After confirming that there were no problems, he immediately chose to publish, and it was immediately apparent that his operational skills increased by 1 again.
Operational ability: 76
With a ding-dong sound, Meiko, who was finishing a ranked match, saw the update of the novel he was following and immediately clicked on it.
He couldn't hold back after reading just a few sentences.
"Damn it, does this author's talent have no limits?"
"There's really only one person in the entire LPL who takes a shower and wears pink headphones."
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled. He was just standing on the shoulders of giants; there were many authors in his previous life who were more talented than him.
We should thank Kang; his shockwave theory was a real eye-opener.
At that very moment, Uzi, who had just finished a ranked game, saw that the novel criticizing him had been updated again, and quickly clicked in to take a look.
Immediately, the chubby face turned visibly red, and after clicking the report button, he even commented using a secondary account.
[Damn it, you're dead. Do you think it's funny to smear a player who has contributed to Chinese esports like this? I'm thinking Uzi is the highest mountain and the longest river in the LPL right now. Who can surpass his two runner-up finishes?]
After posting this comment, Uzi felt much better and was about to drink rock sugar pear soup, but he held back. The next second, he found that his comment had been replied to.
[Uzi himself?]
At that moment, Uzi almost jumped out of his skin; he thought he had been recognized by netizens.
No, I'm just a casual observer; I simply can't stand the author's behavior of attacking puppies.
Stop pretending, you are Uzi, because your frustrated yet self-aggrandizing manner is just like Uzi's.
Anger +99999!
"grass!"
A moment later, God's fist slammed into Little Tiger's thigh again!
...
