Chapter 172: Very good personal relationship, knowing each other well
With the explosion of EDG's main crystal, the spring season finally came to an end.
But before Lin Dong took off his headphones, the people around him rushed over, especially Xiao Duan, who turned into a wine barrel and without saying a word, launched a "human bomb attack" at Lin Dong, almost knocking Lin Dong off the chair.
Lin Dong had never seen such a scene before. He had no idea that these people were so excited just because they won the spring championship. He was so scared that he quickly hid beside Sima Laozei.
I thought that Sima face of the old thief Sima could save me, but I found that it didn't seem to work this time.
Sima Laozei, who had been sold out several times on the field, finally seized the opportunity offline and sold out Lin Dong in a flash.
The next second, Lin Dong was almost lifted up by everyone!
"Fuck! Lin Dong! So awesome!"
"This wave of one against five! That's awesome!"
"I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now. Your decision not to use your ultimate in that teamfight was indeed the right one."
"Hey, can you let me touch your dick later?"
“???” Lin Dong was confused.
"I was talking about the trophy, what were you thinking about?"
It was not until this moment that Lin Dong finally reacted.
Oh, it turns out I’m going to win a trophy.
No wonder these people are so excited!
Even Sima the old thief couldn't hold back his expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was showing a hint of a smile.
Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Lin Dong could only compromise helplessly and put a smile on his face.
Although EDG's weaknesses were obvious and he expected to win against EDG, he actually did not expect that his last-ditch effort at the critical moment would actually become the last straw that completed the comeback and crushed EDG.
To be honest, until now, Lin Dong is still a little dazed and feels that this episode is a little unreal.
Are you really done killing?
I grass!
I'm so fucking awesome!
wrong.
The factory manager’s operating skills are amazing!
The details, the operation, the idea...it's so awesome!
No wonder in the original world, EDG in the summer season was able to create the miracle of winning all the regular season games after the arrival of the younger brother Scout.
At this moment, because they had left the soundproof room used for the game, Lin Dong could clearly hear the boasting of the Colonel and the Haier Brothers from the commentary booth.
Such childish commentary as "Congratulations to LPL for giving birth to another champion" and "The new emperor ascends the throne".
But at that moment, only one sentence came to Lin Dong's mind.
“When no one believed in you, you believed in yourself and won.”
“That’s the path to becoming a hero.”
Thinking of this, Lin Dong suddenly felt calm.
He has always felt that all he could do was to fight his opponent on equal terms. Many times, if he wanted to defeat the opponent, he had to find a breakthrough somewhere else instead of relying on operations to make up for the shortcomings of the lineup.
It is not a problem to defeat EDG which has obvious weaknesses, but what about other strong teams?
For example, next, there will definitely be a battle with SKT.
Let’s say that he was able to tie with the opponent’s jungler, but what about SKT’s other positions?
To be honest, even Lin Dong himself was not sure that he could suppress Faker through military training in the middle lane.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Even if both sides have the same details, the same operations, and the same ideas, due to different mentalities and different understandings of the version, there is still a gap in the strength of the two sides.
As long as we can grasp this gap and magnify it infinitely, perhaps... we can create a miracle.
Thinking of this, Lin Dong suddenly laughed.
Because in VG's lineup, there happens to be someone who is good at finding opportunities.
Perhaps this mid-season championship can give SKT a surprise.
At this moment, Leng Shao on the side also came over, patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and sighed.
"Honestly, this round really depends on you. I didn't play any role at all in this round, especially the last wave, which was too fierce. They even thought they could have a wave, but they were still overturned. Look at their expressions now, wow, so miserable."
Following Leng Shao's words, Lin Dong saw the EDG players with dejected faces, especially the factory manager, who looked even more depressed.
To be honest, Lin Dong always felt that this official mechanism was a bit fucked up.
Especially in the finals, the winning team must first go to the losing team to shake hands one by one, then walk through their competition venue, and then go to hold the trophy.
The official even puts it in a beautiful name: friendship first, competition second.
Is this friendship first?
This is clearly an attempt to deceive others!
Especially when the official staff stopped Xiao Duan, who looked excited, and kindly reminded him.
"Let your jungler go in front and shake hands with EDG."
At that moment, even Lin Dong had to admire the LPL official's ability to stir up trouble.
This taunting is really extreme.
Fortunately, Lin Dong doesn't care.
On the field, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain.
While shaking hands with EDG, Lin Dong even did not forget to answer Leng Shao's question just now.
"There's nothing you can do. They're always targeting you. What can you do? Look at the bright side. Although you've been caught, at least you didn't keep dying. And you helped me hold off for a long time in the middle game, which is a big help. If one day I'm targeted by the opponent like this, if the situation today happens again, I'll probably have to rely on you to operate."
"Assassins are all about bursting, how can they have the ability to harvest at the end of the game?" Leng Shao half-jokingly said, "Generally speaking, I am the first to die."
"Don't give up. What if the assassin is reworked one day? For example, what if the enchantress is changed?" Lin Dong said with a smile.
"Hahaha."
It was obvious that Leng Shao just thought Lin Dong was joking and trying to comfort him.
But he had no idea that everything Lin Dong said was just facts he had witnessed with his own eyes.
If he had not been bought by VG at a high price, he would have worked with Sima Laozei to force OMG to successfully avoid relegation. In the summer season of the same year, he would have used Viktor to deliver explosive damage in team battles, successfully getting a pentakill and successfully avoiding relegation again.
And in the spring two years later, holding the newly revised Leblanc, when all four of his teammates were killed and were about to be defeated by BLG, he fought one against four and killed three of them, thus single-handedly saving the team.
To be honest, Lin Dong didn’t know if this was the right thing to do.
The butterfly flapped its wings, and the double C of OMG successfully joined VG. Although the results were better, Leng Shao also lost the title of single kill king. It is unknown whether Sima Laozei's famous "annihilation" scene will have a chance to appear again.
But Lin Dong didn't bother with that.
These two people didn't buy it themselves.
None of my business.
Just focus on playing well, proving your worth, and making good money, and don't worry about what will happen next.
But when he thought of this, Lin Dong suddenly felt a little melancholy.
In order to borrow money from the rich woman, he had to extend his contract with VG to three years after the spring season.
This is tied up by VG!
I just don't know how much the rich lady can lend me by then.
Of course, what Lin Dong didn’t know at this time was.
Just at the moment when EDG's main crystal exploded.
In the VG lounge, the rich lady Li Yue jumped three feet high and immediately cheered!
"Yeah! We won!"
"We are the champions! Hahahahahahaha!"
Seeing that Li Yue, the boss of the team, was so happy, Gao Jun and Hongmi looked at each other in surprise.
To be honest, they had always thought that Li Yue was just a second-generation rich kid who was just here for fun, with too much money to spend, not only did she not understand the game, she also had no idea about team operations, and was just here to squander money. But the team won the championship, so why was she happier than herself?
Even if they win the championship, the salaries VG has paid out in the past six months are a complete loss!
How much is the prize money for the Spring Season Champion?
150 million!
For ordinary people, this amount is indeed very high, but for the team, it is not enough at all!
Especially VG...
That's not even enough for any player's annual salary.
To be honest, Gao Jun couldn't figure out why Li Yue had such an expression as if she had won the lottery.
If he had to explain, he could only think of one reason.
"and many more?"
"Does she really like the game League of Legends?"
"But doesn't she know how to play games?"
"No! Could this be the legendary... bad at playing?"
"She seems to really have feelings for VG!"
Of course, Gao Jun had no idea at this time.
Li Yue really won the jackpot this time.
Due to system reasons, all expenses for the initial operation of VG will be successfully reimbursed.
In other words, she didn't actually spend a penny on VG.
After winning the spring season, the system's return ratio has successfully soared to the upper limit of the first range.
500%!
The five-fold return ratio successfully allowed her to make tens of millions in just half a year, almost exceeding 100 million.
The key is that the system’s refund channel is completely legal.
For example, she had some stocks and real estate that suddenly skyrocketed in value, and even virtual currencies...
magical!
Amazing!
At that moment, Li Yue was in a very good mood.
Even Gao Jun began to look more pleasing to his eyes.
Of course, at this moment, she looked at everyone as if she was looking at a duck that lays golden eggs.
In her joy, she waved her hand and immediately began to exercise her power to reward (fail) and encourage (family)!
"Thank you for your hard work, Gao Jun."
"You've made a lot of efforts for VG. You also have a part of the credit for this championship."
"Let's also take a share of the bonus with the team members."
"Just a moment. Let me tell my teammates that the prize money for this spring season will be doubled."
At first, when Gao Jun heard that he also had a bonus, his face almost cracked with smiles.
I didn’t expect the boss to be such a kind and righteous person!
At this critical moment, he hasn't forgotten himself!
As the manager of the team operations, I actually get extra bonuses!
It seems that I followed the right person!
As a result, the next second, the expression on his face suddenly froze, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and his voice suddenly rose octaves.
"Wait? What did you say, boss?"
"Double the prize money? Huh?"
"Do you know how much bonus VG is going to give out now? It's going to double it?"
"Boss, this money..."
Seeing Gao Jun starting to suffer from his occupational disease and trying to save money for herself, Li Yue wanted to kick him.
Complaining all day long!
Can’t you learn from Lin Dong?
Even though he is a bit rude, at least he didn't hesitate at the critical moment!
Even if I don't accept it, I'll just hold it in.
You are the one who talks the most!
However, Li Yue had a solution at this time. He just put on a stern face, played hard to get, and said.
"You don't really think I want to make money from VG?"
"VG won the championship, my stocks also went up, I'm in a good mood, can't I give you more bonuses?"
"If you keep pushing me, you'll lose your bonus."
Hearing this, Gao Jun immediately showed a professional smile and hurriedly smiled back.
"Hey, the boss is right, the boss is right, I'll follow the boss's instructions."
"Oh, right, there are two more things for you to do." Li Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I've talked to Lin Dong before, and his contract has been extended to three years. You should discuss the contract with him, and the penalty for breach of contract should remain the same as before."
"Ah? Three years?" Gao Jun was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously, "So long?"
This time it wasn't Gao Jun who was surprised, it was just that he had never seen such a scene before.
Because under normal circumstances, professional players rarely sign such a long contract with the team.
As the saying goes, each generation has its own god.
What if this version suits a certain professional player very well, but not the next version?
What if the other party's condition begins to decline significantly?
If the contract is for three years, it would be a huge loss.
Of course, generally speaking, players would not agree to this.
What if this team’s performance declines later on and they don’t buy good players?
What if after you have proven your worth, a team offers a high price to poach you or extends an olive branch?
Therefore, in the professional circle, a three-year contract like this is indeed rare.
However, for Li Yue and Lin Dong, this is a special case.
Li Yue wished that Lin Dong could stay in VG.
If he doesn't leave, I can eavesdrop on people's thoughts and make correct decisions to help VG achieve results. It will also help me get system rewards through VG's results and get high profits and returns.
Lin Dong believes that as a time traveler, Li Yue will always make the right decisions, especially in the two matters of team operation and purchasing players. As long as these two things are done well, VG will be better than other LPL teams, and it will be easy to achieve good results and increase their own value. At the same time, at this critical moment, through this three-year contract, they can obtain a considerable income in advance for investment.
So the two of them hit it off and immediately started to work together...
No, it was cooperation.
Facing Gao Jun's suspicious expression, Li Yue coughed lightly and said.
"I believe in him."
"Oh, his relationship with you, boss..." Gao Jun suddenly realized.
Nowadays, you not only have to be good at playing games, but you also have to look good!
Tsk tsk tsk!
"Ok?"
"I think it's no problem for a player like Lin Dong, who is so hardworking and capable, to be favored by the boss. After all, you have a good personal relationship with him, so you know him well..."
"???"
She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was.
"By the way, Boss, didn't you say there were two things?"
"Oh, you are familiar with League of Legends, are you familiar with other games?"
"what???"
This time, it was Gao Jun's turn to be confused.
Other games?
What do you mean?
I grass!
Are you going to kick yourself?
At that moment, Gao Jun suddenly regretted it.
Why can't I control my mouth?
