Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

surprise?

In the live stream, hundreds of thousands of viewers were stunned for a moment.

besides?

The live chat visibly stuttered for a moment, and the screen was filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

[Seriously, officer? I thought the few events you did during your live stream today were all you had to show for it!]

[Yeah, it's both selling products and being tortured, the show's entertainment value made me want to eat three bowls of rice right away, and you're telling me there's more?]

Holy crap, E-God, are you Doraemon?! How many secrets are crammed into your pocket?!

Okay, okay, hurry up and bring it up. I'll accept that you're leaving get off work early today.

Our E-God always streams high-quality content. (laughs)

[GKD!!! Stop keeping me in suspense, my instant noodles have turned into lumps!]

What surprise? Are you going to announce your girlfriend?? (Warning)

[Shut up, E-God only cares about the game and the championship; women will only slow him down.]

[Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious I'm sweating from squeezing the mouse!]

The screen was flooded with urging messages like a waterfall, so much so that even the special effects of the gifts that were spamming the screen were swallowed up by the torrent of comments.

Lin Shu glanced at the secondary screen out of the corner of his eye—the real-time bullet comments were like a surging tide, one after another, almost forming a white light band.

He didn't rush to reply. Instead, he slowly picked up the thermos cup beside him, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip.

A cluster of white steam rose from the tea.

That brief pause left hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream on the edge of their seats. The chat wasn't slowing down; in fact, it went even crazier.

【You drink it!!! You drink it!!! Tell me when you're done!!!】

Is this the right time for her to drink water??

[Urgent! I'm in a real hurry!!]

He put down his cup, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Okay, let's get down to business... This surprise is actually related to our entire e-sports project."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the camera: "As everyone knows, in the past two years—from S2 to S3—whether it's the League of Legends project or the entire gaming industry, esports has seen explosive growth. Clubs and teams are springing up everywhere, tournaments are being held one after another, capital is pouring in, and player values ​​are rising accordingly."

"But—a problem has arisen."

"Because the market is moving too fast, the industry's rules, processes, and standards—these things haven't kept up."

"To put it bluntly, the foundation hasn't been laid yet, but the building is already three stories high."

Lin Shu spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "The current situation is that many young people who have dreams and talent for esports have no idea how to get started. You say you want to play professionally, where do you go for tryouts? Who do you sign up with? What is the training system like? Nobody tells you, you have to figure it out on your own."

"Most of the time, they'd just find a few random people, get together in an internet cafe or somewhere else, play a few rounds, and then that was it."

"Even those who have already joined the team have been in a state of unregulated growth for a long time, with unscientific training, irregular management, and no protection of the players' rights. These are real pain points."

He then changed the subject, saying, "The purpose of saying all this is... since the All-Star Game in Shanghai just ended, I had the opportunity to chat with relevant leaders in Shanghai."

"It was only then that I realized that our country doesn't actually reject or suppress esports as much as people imagine. On the contrary, management departments at all levels have provided a lot of policy support and guidance."

"The problem is," Lin Shu shrugged, "that there are still too many misunderstandings about esports in society. The older generation thinks that 'playing games is a waste of time,' and the media is quick to label people, which means that even though the industry is clearly on the rise, it is always being pushed back down. In addition, there is a lack of sufficient regulations and industry standards in the development process. In short, what this industry lacks now is a system that can guide everyone to follow the right path."

He stopped, picked up the cup, and took another sip.

The chat was silent for two seconds.

Then it exploded.

Holy crap... I'm not used to him being so serious all of a sudden.

[E God's words are insightful; every sentence hits the nail on the head.]

[Indeed, a friend of mine who's pretty good at the game now wants to go pro but doesn't even know where to ask.]

So what the hell are you trying to do? Tell me now!!

[Stop with the build-up, bro, I've already taken my pants off!]

Lin Shu glanced at the comments section, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said:

"So, immediately after the All-Star Game, I contacted the Huya platform and the senior management of Tencent Games. After thorough communication, we decided to take this opportunity to launch a project that could solve the above problems."

"Of course, this is an idea that has been in the streamer's mind for a long time."

He lightly clicked the mouse with his right hand, and a well-made poster popped up on the screen at the right time;

The poster features a dark background with large gold lettering centered and bordered with subtle patterns, giving it a high-quality feel and making it clear that it wasn't rushed out at the last minute.

In the very center of the poster, six large characters stand out prominently—

Next Stop, Career!

Below the poster is a line of smaller text: "[The first-ever online reality show documenting the growth of professional League of Legends youth training.]"

Lin Shu faced the camera and said, word by word:

"This project is called 'Next Stop, Career!'"

"Produced by Leading Esports under the streamer, and jointly supported by Huya platform and Penguin Games - the first documentary growth reality show on the entire network with the theme of League of Legends professional youth training."

"The goal is simple: to pave a path for all young people who want to go professional, have talent, but don't know where to go."

"At the same time, as an esports club manager, I also want to give back to society and take on corresponding responsibilities, to dispel any misunderstandings parents may have about us, and to provide as much help as I can to those teenagers who are feeling lost."

After he finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, and showed off his white teeth.

"How about it, guys? Was this surprise big enough?"

The comments section went completely crazy.

Holy crap!!!

[Reality show?? Youth training?? You're really daring!!!]

[Dude, you've taken a really big step, haven't you?]

[Produced by Leading Esports... Got it, you're really going to be a boss!]

[I'm signing up!!! Can I join HWG with only 800 points in the King of Glory rank in the suburbs? I want to join HWG!!!]

[Get in line, I'm a King rank player from server one, first come first.]

[I really didn't expect this... I thought you were already crossing over into a new field by making peripherals, but you actually made a variety show?]

[E-God, are you trying to devour the entire esports scene from beginning to end?]

Stop talking nonsense, when does it start? How do I register? I want to go!

Coach, I want to play professionally!!!
