Chapter 41: Popularity
The next day happened to be a Monday working day.
Coach Lin reported the preparation to sign Xiaobai to President Chen, the general manager of Tianhuan Club.
Lin Feng and Chi Shuo came to the general manager's office together and described Xiaobai's situation in detail: "Although Xiaobai is 21 years old, his 5 S in the talent test shows that his current state is at the peak of an e-sports player. , not worse than teenagers aged seventeen or eighteen. Moreover, this person's consciousness is very good, and he can play all kinds of mid lane heroes. He won 4 national server No. 1 in just half a month. Chi Shuo played with him privately. Ranking, two people can also cooperate tacitly."
Manager Chen said with a smile: "Of course we Tianhuan can't miss such talent! How much is the signing fee for a newcomer? If it's as powerful as you said, it's about 1 million yuan?"
Coach Lin just wanted to say whether we should give 3 million, but he heard Chi Shuo indifferently say: "Add a 0 to the end."
Manager Chen: "??"
Coach Lin: "???"
They both thought they heard it wrong, and looked back at Chi Shuo in surprise.
Chi Shuo looked calm: "If you want to hire Fang Zhengqing to join our team, how much does the manager think the signing fee is appropriate?"
Manager Chen returned to the gods and said: "Fang Zhengqing, an international first-line player who has won the world doubles championship, is still the captain of Jingzhe team. We will definitely not be able to dig it! But...he is worth at least 25 million."
Chi Shuo asked, "Where's Zhou Jiawen?"
Manager Chen said: "Xiao Zhou has never won a world championship, but he is very popular and is considered to be the best among the new generation of players. Huo Wen has also entered the World Series. His transfer fee is definitely not less than 20 million. "
Chi Shuo followed and asked: "If a first-tier mid laner is introduced from a foreign competition area, the price will not be less than 10 million, right?"
Manager Chen nodded: "Of course, foreign players come to our country to play games. They are unfamiliar with life and language, and they must pay at least an eight-figure signing fee before they are willing to come."
Chi Shuo concluded: "So, I think it's more appropriate to give Xiaobai 10 million yuan. Naturally, his worth can't exceed the world-class mid laners like Xiao Zhou and Fang Zhengqing. However, the eight-digit signing fee can be reflected in the first place. Our club attaches great importance to him; secondly, eight figures are also the treatment of first-tier players, and he is worth the price."
Manager Chen held his breath in his chest and almost didn't come up. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, "He is a rookie, he has never even played a game, and the maximum of 3 million is over! For the entire league, 3 million , is also the highest signing fee for a rookie, you are asking him for the treatment of an eight-figure first-line player, are you crazy?"
Coach Lin was giving Chi Shuo a desperate wink, Chi Shuo pretended not to see it, and said lightly: "Because we are not signing a newcomer, but a mid laner who can completely break Tianhuan's predicament and help Tianhuan get to the championship podium. "
He paused, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it worth 10 million to sign a champion player back?"
Manager Chen: "...If you sign a member of the championship team, you may not be able to sign for 10 million. But the question is, has Xiaobai won the championship? Are you sure that Tianhuan can win the championship after he comes?"
Coach Lin coughed lightly, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere in the office: "The issue of the signing fee, let's talk to Xiaobai in person. Is 10 million his request? Can we discuss it again?"
Chi Shuo said calmly: "We have negotiated the price here, and we can just sign with him with the highest sincerity. Bargaining with him is not a vegetable market."
Coach Lin: "Cough... That's true."
Manager Chen frowned tangled: "But with such a high signing fee, I can't decide, and I need the club's top management to hold a meeting to discuss it. You put it nicely, signing him can change Tianhuan's predicament and win the championship. On the other hand, we still need to study whether this player is worth the club's high signing fee."
Chi Shuo nodded: "Okay, let me know when the meeting is over."
The two turned and left the office.
Coach Lin sighed and looked at Chi Shuo: "Why are you still turning your elbows out to help others increase their worth? The signing fee of 3 million is already the highest treatment for a newcomer."
Chi Shuo looked at Coach Lin calmly: "He is not someone else, he will be our best teammate. If you don't believe it, Coach Lin can wait and see, if the Beimu team makes a move and offers him a high price, we Tianhuan The price is lower than that of Bei Mu, even if you sign Xiaobai over, will you feel good about it?"
Coach Lin was silent for a moment, and it made sense to think about it carefully.
The capital behind Beimu Club is very rich, and Beimu's mid laner is likely to retire after this season. They are in desperate need of mid laners, and they will either look for the top of the second team, or they will find a way to poach people.
Zhao Xin'an was the first professional player to discover Xiaobai. If he hadn't happened to see the duel between Brother Ayu and Xiaobai, and sent the recording to the group, the major teams would not have noticed Xiaobai, a rookie anchor. .
Bei Mu must have been paying attention to Xiao Bai. If they discovered Xiaobai's talent for playing mid-lane, and offered a price of more than 5 million to sign Xiaobai, Tianhuan proposed a new signing fee of 3 million at this time, it would be too shabby.
Although Tianhuan's grades have declined, he is still a domestic giant...
Coach Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and said with determination: "Okay, this time I will stand by you and convince the shareholders together. If you are really sure that Xiaobai can change Tianhuan, then to be honest, 1000 It's worth it! After all, even if Fang Zhengqing was dug over, he wouldn't be able to cooperate with you."
There was a smile in Chi Shuo's eyes: "Yes. It's actually hard to find a mid laner who can cooperate well with me and has a first-class awareness. We Tianhuan sign players, not to see who is cheaper, but to see who is better. Right, what do you think?"
Coach Lin patted Chi Shuo on the shoulder with a smile: "That's the truth. However, you should say hello to your master in advance, as long as he supports you, other shareholders who don't know much about e-sports and are only responsible for paying , there should be nothing to say."
Chi Shuo nodded: "I will contact Master as soon as possible and ask him to come forward."
Coach Lin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor, turning his head to look downstairs with mixed feelings - in order to sign a newcomer, he asked for an eight-digit signing fee, and he had to invite the Ming team, who had been hidden for a long time, out of the mountain. It seems that Chi Shuo is determined this time and must sign Xiaobai.
Chi Shuo was never an impulsive person. On the contrary, this Alpha was terribly calm. Since he must sign Xiaobai, it means that Xiaobai must have something unique in him that cannot be replaced by other mid laners.
How much change will a brand new mid laner bring to Tianhuan?
Coach Lin is really looking forward to it more and more.
***
After Ye Shaoyang got up, he usually went to the training camp to train heroes. This time, he trained [Goddess of Fire] and [Goddess of Thunder], and he planned to take the national uniforms of these two heroes.
The mage hero is divided into magic thorns, control mage and battery mage according to the main categories. The four national uniforms he has obtained so far are exactly 2 magic thorns, 1 control, and 1 the most difficult turret.
It's not a coincidence, of course, but he did it on purpose.
He believes that the coaches understand what he means.
Control-type mages, if subdivided, include state control, such as freezing, sleep, dizziness, etc., which make people lose the ability to move; there is also field control, typically like the goddess of flame, laying a fire ring to block the movement of people, Get people nowhere. Therefore, the next step for him to take the national uniform is the field control hero.
It is difficult for this type of hero to carry the whole court by himself, and more needs the cooperation of his teammates.
Yao Mu seemed to be aware of this as well. During the morning qualifying, he actually pulled someone over and joined Xiaobai in the third row. Ye Shaoyang looked at the account whose ID was "Xiaowei" in the room, stunned for a moment, and then listened to Mu Mu's voice to introduce gently: "This is Awei. Awei, this is the Xiaobai I told you."
A hearty voice came from the earphone: "Hello, Mumu said you want to get the national uniform of [Goddess of Flame]. I just want to play the national uniform of [Cannon]. Let's rank together, it's better to cooperate."
Yao Mu smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, don't you mind the third row? Because [Goddess of Fire] and [Artillery] are the combination of the Fire Team, and Awei just wants to take [Artillery] to the national uniform. I will choose another [Shield of Radiance] as a support, it will be easier to fight."
The fans in the live room are going crazy-
[Fuck, why is Brother Xiao Wei here? A brother and a sister with Xiaobai? 】
[Our Xiaobai's platoon! 】
[Am I dazzled in the early morning, why are these three people in the same room? 】
[Xiao Bai, tell me quickly, do you have a backstage? Who the **** are you! 】
[Mu Mu played with you for two days in the ranking, and Xiao Wei is here today, this live broadcast room is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! 】
Ye Shaoyang was also a little surprised by the presence of the anchor Xiaowei. Hearing this, he immediately said politely: "Hello, Xiaowei, of course, it would be better to cooperate if we ranked together, or Sister Mu thoughtful."
Mumu said with a smile: "You're welcome, everyone takes what they need. I am a support, and it is difficult to improve the combat power in a single row. We are in the middle, shooting, and auxiliary rows, and it is generally not easy to overturn."
Xiaowei said: "Then I'll open a trumpet, wait for me."
After a while, he opened a trumpet account with the ID "Xiao Xiao Xiao Wei" to join the ranking room.
Ye Shaoyang: "..."
You are really "little"!
The three started to rank. Xiaowei is worthy of being a top streamer. As soon as he entered the room, some teammates recognized him: "Damn it, Brother Xiaowei!" "Awei will lead me to lie down and win, and I will let the shooter give it to you!"
Sister Mu's trumpet "Stupid Bird Flying First" typed and said, "The third row of shooters and assistants, can the two choose singles and junglers? Pick a hero that you can play, and give the shooter a little bit of economy."
The other two nodded immediately: "No problem, no problem!" "This lays me down."
After the two teammates selected the heroes, they really left the mid laner, shooter and support for the three of them. Xiaowei locked [Cannon] in seconds, Ye Shaoyang chose [Goddess of Flame], and Mu Mu chose [Shield of Glory].
This is the classic fire team system.
The principle is that [Goddess of Flame]'s large-scale fire circle will block the box in a narrow terrain, and there is nowhere to escape; [Shield of Glory] can jump over and stun a group of people, and then the shooter will output frantically...
Although the three cooperated for the first time, they were surprisingly tacit.
Mainly because Ye Shaoyang's fire ring was too tricky!
The middle, shoot, and auxiliary teamed up to invade the blue buff on the opposite side, and the opposite jungler soon discovered that the wild area was full of fires, burning their feet! There is nowhere to go!
As a result, the "burning" state of [Goddess of Flame] made the health and mana of the jungler drop crazily.
The game is won easily.
In the second game, they did not invade the blue BUFF, and stared at the opposite mid lane.
Ye Shaoyang put several fire rings in a row, trapping the opposing mid laner at the very center of the flames, and the amount of blue came to the bottom. Not a single skill can be released!"
The essence of the flame goddess is actually the card position + playing blue.
Her skill damage is not high, and she doesn't lose a lot of blood, but as long as she encounters the fire ring, her blue volume will quickly bottom out. The middle lane that is in line with her will often burn out of mana and cannot release her skills.
It's even more terrifying when playing in a group. There is no blue on the opposite side, and the group stares blankly, only to watch the shooter quickly harvest.
This fire team system is one of the signature play styles developed by the Fire Mark team.
In the professional league, there will be a way to solve it, choose some mid laners and junglers without blue bars, and kill the core [Goddess of Flame]. However, in online games, few people will cooperate with the tacit understanding to break the fire team, not to mention, often after the opponent has selected the middle lane and jungler, Ye Shaoyang finally chooses the [Goddess of Flame], making the opponent hard to guard against.
In the morning's qualifying, the three teamed up to play a 9-game winning streak.
During lunch time, Xiaowei turned off the live broadcast and chatted privately with Mu Mu: "This Xiaobai has a good sense, isn't he as scheming as they said in the group?"
Mu Mu sent a smile: "After all, Xiaobai stole their national clothes."
Xiaowei suddenly realized: "Oh, I said why do they scold Xiaobai in the group every day, why do they use cats to hype them up, and step on people to take the top position... This is because he lost his national uniform, and it's sore if he can't get it back!"
The anchor Xiaowei is a fixed shooter, and Ye Shaoyang takes all the national uniforms in the mid lane, which offends a group of game anchors who play mid lane. Recently, Xiaobai was scolded every day in the anchor group, and he was also curious, so he went to the ranking with Mu Mu.
After contact, I found that Xiaobai's strength is indeed very strong.
[Goddess of Fire]'s position is too awesome, and the speed of the fire ring is neat and neat, often leaving opponents with nowhere to go, and they are directly killed by a wave of dumplings.
Xiaowei has won several NovelFirePs in a row, and also won five kills with the help of the goddess of flames!
During the five kills, Xiao Bai obviously gave him the head.
Xiaowei said: "If you have time in the future, you can pull me to rank, hahaha, it's cool to get five kills today!"
Yao Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Human head dog."
Xiaowei: "[dog head.jpg]"
At this moment, Xiaowei and Mu Mu's mobile phones received a message at the same time.
Mr. Liu, general manager of the anchor department from Whale Live—
"Mumu, why did you hang out with that Xiaobai? Do you know him privately?"
"Xiaowei, why are you playing in the rankings with that Xiaobai? What's the relationship between you two?"
The two were full of question marks: "???"
Mu Mu explained: "I happened to meet him in the peak match. I thought he played well, so I added my friends to score together. What's wrong? They are both anchors of the whale platform. It's normal to play together."
Xiaowei: "Mu Mu took me there. What's the situation? Isn't it a common thing for the anchors on the same platform to play rankings together? Mr. Liu even sent a message to ask separately, which surprised me."
President Liu: "..."
He hasn't signed a contract yet!
You are rushing to advertise for him one by one to gain popularity? !
