You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

On the other side, in the Lao Gan Die team's seats.

"Coach, how should we approach this match?"

Looking at Chen Feng, who was interacting amicably with his teammates in the distance, a young team member looked conflicted.

The other teammates were all grimacing at this moment.

Upon hearing this, the man referred to as the coach sighed helplessly:

"well……"

"How else can we fight? How do you want to fight?"

"That guy on the other side is Boss Chen! How are you going to fight him?"

"Give in! But it has to be done skillfully, not too fakely, and we have to consider Mr. Chen's feelings!"

Clearly, he hadn't expected such an outrageous thing to happen.

But now that it has already happened, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue acting.

In fact, based on their past combat strength, Lao Gan Die should not be able to beat Jia Hao.

After all, Jiahao is a world-class team, far ahead of Lao Gan Die.

However, regardless of whether Chen Feng is truly strong or not, even if he does have the skills of a professional player, they don't think he can perform very well in this kind of competition.

After all, this requires long-term teamwork, but they don't believe Chen Feng would spend much time training with his teammates just to play around with it; that's impossible.

So, in the eyes of Lao Gan Die's teammates, Jia Hao was indeed strong, but with Chen Feng replacing Li Ge, it was essentially a four-on-five game, and they hadn't taken Chen Feng into consideration...

Even so, they can't win, even if they could.

Perhaps President Chen isn't a petty person, but if they really win today, what will people in the industry think of them? Won't the senior management of Fengyun Group feel uncomfortable?

Therefore, the outcome of the match was already decided before it even started.

……

Shortly after, the Spring Split group stage officially began.

The first match was between Jiahao Team and Laogandie Team.

Amid cheers from countless spectators, Chen Feng and his four teammates walked into the arena carrying their peripherals.

The moment Chen Feng appeared, not only the audience but even the commentators were at a loss for words, completely bewildered.

This moment was even more nerve-wracking than when I was commentating on a game at the Olympics, mainly because this scene was just too bizarre...

If this was already outrageous, then what happened next was even more outrageous.

When choosing the lineup, Jiahao and his team seemed to have planned it in advance, leaving Chen Feng completely unaware. As a result, the lineup that the team chose was incredibly overpowered.

The top laner is Twisted Treant, the jungler is Yeti, and the bot lane is a combination of Yuumi and Lulu.

From the moment this lineup was chosen, it meant they had no intention of playing this game well; their main goal was simply to please their boss.

Then they could also guess that the other side wouldn't be a fool either, and definitely wouldn't fight seriously, so the two sides basically reached a very tacit consensus.

This led to both sides selecting incredibly overpowered lineups, lineups that are hard to come by even in casual matches, let alone professional games.

Chen Feng chose his favorite swordsman, the Wind Swordsman, commonly known as the "Happy Wind Man".

This hero is more suited for casual games; very few people would use this hero in ranked matches.

During the initial tactical planning, Chen Feng seriously asked the coach which hero he would play and how he would play it.

Then the coach's reply was very serious: Play whatever you want, it doesn't matter...

So Chen Feng, a player making his professional debut, immediately pulled out the Wind Sword Master...

The moment the lineups for both sides were confirmed, the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

[Holy crap! Four protect one? Back in the day, only Uzbekistan had this kind of treatment! Mr. Chen is enjoying it too.]

What?! This is a 4-to-1 protection strategy?! This is a 9-to-1 protection strategy!

[Hahahaha! What the hell?! Nine guys protecting one guy to beat him!]

[Finally, commercial matches have appeared in the League of Legends professional scene!]

[Winning or losing this match isn't really important anymore; it's mainly about how your four teammates and five enemies behave and conduct themselves.]

If you play well this round, you can rise to the top; if you play poorly, you'll lose your head!

[Hahaha! He's unlikely to lose a head, but if he plays recklessly, he'll probably have to retire early!]

……

Amidst cheers and laughter from the viewers in the live stream, the two sides officially began their match.

On the opposing team, Lao Gan Die's mid laner chose Orianna.

Despite being a long-range champion, he played Yasuo with great hesitation when facing Chen Feng, as if he was afraid of killing Chen Feng with auto-attacks. He didn't dare to fight at all, which was quite an over-the-top performance.

Whether Chen Feng genuinely didn't notice or pretended not to, after pushing the minion wave to level two, he began a fierce attack on the opponent.

Perhaps the other side was trying not to act too fake, so they retreated as soon as they were hit and gave up fighting back.

He then escaped back to the tower with a sliver of health, which relieved the opposing mid laner.

Thinking that he had already shown weakness and created an opening, and that he hadn't died in this round, he figured it wasn't too fake and that it was a perfect performance.

But no one expected that when Chen Feng saw Orianna escape back to the tower with a sliver of health, he would become obsessed and chase after her into the tower.

Ultimately, Chen Feng was killed by the turret, and then Orianna, having previously attacked Chen Feng once, secured the kill.

The moment he saw the kill notification pop up in the game interface, this guy felt a chill run down his spine.

"Holy crap! He's retiring!!!"

Hahaha! This is hilarious!

[It seems I'm really going to retire now!]

[How brave! You actually dared to do that?]

[The key is that even if someone dares to attack, he doesn't dare to kill them! He held back for so long, only to get the first kill from President Chen in the end. Isn't that ridiculous?]

【We're doomed!】

……

Amidst the cheers and laughter of the audience, Chen Feng also had a great time.

At that moment, he completely forgot his identity and only thought of himself as a member of this team, a professional e-sports player.

In fact, he could tell what the nine people on both sides were thinking better than anyone else.

However, he didn't intend to point these things out; he was simply enjoying his current happy time.

After all these years of hard work, isn't this the kind of happiness we've been striving for?

As for disrupting the competition and wasting resources?

nonexistent.

Nobody would think that way. In fact, the audience and fans just thought this scene was interesting and fun.

This match was full of laughs, and Chen Feng had a great time, the audience had a great time, and everyone was happy.

A world where everyone is happy has been achieved...

Bringing joy to everyone is also a great undertaking!

Because happiness is priceless...

Just like games, we don't need to care whether they have any meaning in life; their existence isn't about having meaning.

It's simply to bring joy to people and provide a brief respite for weary souls.

……

……

I also wish all readers of this book happiness every day and a good mood every day.

Life may be full of trivial matters, so when you're tired, you might as well stop and take a break.

When you're in a good mood, things might just fall into place.

Thank you everyone! [bows]
