Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 110 Another Bet!

"Little dog, I know you understand why I'm here today. I received their pleas, but I didn't really want to come. X Fish is a murky pool; no one who goes in can leave clean."

"I'm not making this up, but even though you're so successful now, once you're in there, they'll still arrange for online trolls to attack your fans and incite them to spend money to prove themselves."

Grandpa Kai's words were very true; he had already thought about his words for today from the moment he entered the RNG base.

Four years have passed since he retired in S3, and the two have drifted further and further apart. From being close teammates at the beginning, he is now just a friend he can talk to.

If they continue to rely on their status and deceive and conceal the truth, then an upgraded version of Lizhuang Pork Belly 2.0 might really happen.

It's hard to say whether Grandpa Kai has a sound set of values, but he is quite upright in his dealings with friends and certain emotional issues.

The problem is that this internet-addicted teenager, who has never received higher education, inadvertently discovered his talent for gaming and live streaming.

This sudden talent is like winning a 50 million lottery, becoming rich overnight, but the mindset still hasn't changed.

Even now, he still sees himself as a nobody who enjoys himself, goes to get off work on time every day, and thinks that no one else matters to him.

After the incident broke out, thanks to the advice of the puppy, he avoided the eye of the storm and protected himself. At this moment, he only wanted to express his gratitude to his former teammate.

"It's alright. Haven't we already faced enough criticism since entering the esports scene? A few more lice won't weigh us down. It's no big deal."

Li Luo waved his hand, signaling Chou Kai not to talk about these things anymore. They were all in the past, and people should always look forward.

“You know, I’m the owner of RNG now. If it were just me, I could go without hesitation, but it’s different for them. They might not be able to handle this kind of pressure.”

Uzi already has too many negative reputations, so even if there are more, it wouldn't matter.

However, Junze, Xiangguo, Xiaohu, and Xiaoming are all considered to be new-generation professional players. In this situation, relying on their popularity could easily lead to serious problems.

"You mean this? They prepared a warm-up plan for you before you came. Take a look."

Ugly baboon chuckled, took out a proposal from his bag, and handed it to Li Luo.

Upon opening the proposal and seeing the title, Li Luo was taken aback.

"New and old royals, dreams continue to move forward; on the road, we have never left."

???

Continue scrolling down.

Starting from Platinum rank in the Korean server, Uzi will be accompanied by Shenchao, the first player from the original Royal Club, to climb the ranks in duo queue until Uzi reaches Diamond rank.

Starting from Diamond rank in the Korean server, Uzi will be accompanied by the second player from Royal Never Give Up (RNG), WuWuKai, until he reaches Master rank.

The leap from Master to King rank will be accomplished by Uzi alone.

The benefits shouldn't go to outsiders; both of them are now streamers on X-Fish, and while helping each other climb the ranks, they can also gain a considerable amount of popularity.

Grandpa Kai, sitting to the side, watched Li Luo flip through the three or four-page proposal repeatedly, and felt extremely uneasy.

This proposal was the second reason he came to this place.

Previously, in order to consolidate his position, he tried to compete with Teacher Ma for popularity, taking a risky move, but he almost fell into a trap.

Although the hype remains as strong as ever, countless trolls and online trolls have infiltrated the area, like hungry wolves waiting at the bottom of a cliff, eager to devour it.

If the puppy agrees to this proposal today, both he and Shenchao will have received help from a benefactor, and they won't have to worry about fading away for a long time to come. After a long while, Li Luo, who had carefully considered every word twice, finally raised his head.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he quietly watched Grandpa Kai's restless expression.

"The proposal looks good, but what's the price?"

Upon hearing Li Luo mention the price, Chou Kai immediately beamed with joy and took out another document from his bag.

This document is much more formal. The front not only says "To be opened by Mr. Jian Zihao," but the back also has an X-fish stamp and an anti-tamper mark.

The tamper-evident signs are still intact, which means that Chou Kai did not open them before he came. He also doesn't know how much money X Fish can offer to win over a few people.

Tear off the label on the back and open the file bag. Judging from the rough weight of the documents, there are at least several dozen pages. It seems that X Fish has put a lot of thought into getting these people under his control.

Without any attempt to avoid suspicion, he immediately opened the contract and started flipping through it. Chou Kai didn't even come over to look at it; he sat on the sofa, quietly watching the clock hands on the wall swing.

Other live streaming platforms don't have their own dedicated teams yet, so XFish is trying to take advantage of its proximity and grab the first pot of gold.

This is also an attempt to leverage the popularity gained from RNG's victory in League of Legends to retain these fans and revitalize other sections.

Uzi, the currently hot ID, is a superstar player who has never streamed since winning the championship. He is the super Ocean Heart that is about to be tapped in League of Legends.

Without looking at the terms and conditions at the beginning, Li Luo flipped directly to the end of the table of contents.

The previous rules and regulations will be reviewed and interpreted by RNG Club's dedicated legal team. What I need to look at now is the treatment and constraints.

Upon flipping to the benefits page, Uzi's ID was indeed listed first. Just seeing the string of zeros following it made Li Luo a little dizzy.

Jian Zihao worked hard for four years as a professional player and only earned 50 million yuan. The contract offered by XF Sports has a signing fee of 100 million yuan for the first year alone.

Top laner Yan Junze has 1800 million gold, mid laner Xiaohu has 2200 million gold, jungler Xiangguo has 2500 million gold, and support Xiaoming has 1800 million gold.

Although the contracts of a few people seem low compared to 100 million, they are still an astonishingly high price in today's platform industry.

These days, signing fees are frequently reported to be in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions, as if this amount of money is no longer a significant sum in the eyes of platforms and streamers.

Even news reports of mobile game streamers receiving signing fees of 2 million yuan have surfaced.

However, in reality, the money these people actually receive may not even reach eight figures. While the platform pays the signing fee, it will definitely manipulate the gift fees.

However, Douyu was quite fair this time, giving Uzi a score of 37 and everyone else a score of 46, which can be considered a sign of integrity in the industry.

But these alone are completely unattractive. Any platform in the industry with the capability, or one that is still in operation, could offer this contract.

Even Wang Sicong's dying Panda TV was able to spend lavishly, signing five players from RNG.

It seems that Douyu knew Li Luo's appetite was not limited to this, as the contract was only signed as Contract A, which also shows that Douyu had made several preparations before the ugly opening.

"Let me see the second one."

Upon hearing Li Luo's words, Chou Kai took out an identical copy from his bag and handed it over.

Upon opening the contract, Li Luo's expression became intriguing.

Another performance-based agreement?
