In his previous life, Chen Ziyou had only officially joined the youth training camp two years later…probably during S7.
Before that, although he had the ability to play professionally, his studies and family had prevented him from pursuing his dreams. He had only had time to go to the youth training camp for trial training when he started his internship in his third year.
At that time, he was already 20 years old. He was considered 'older' among eSports players. Even if he wasn't famous, his skills could only be considered 'average' among professional players. No one would take a fancy to him. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to be selected for a team in the LSPL first division. However, he was only a substitute player and barely managed to get by with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan.
When the main players were in a hurry, he was responsible for coming on stage to save them…He usually didn't have the qualifications to play in training matches.
This was the lowest level of professional players.
When his parents found out that he wanted to play e-sports, their first reaction was to object.
However, under his insistence, his attitude softened in the end and he acquiesced.
Chen Ziyou had seen a lot of stubborn parents in the e-sports circle who were unwilling to let their children play professionally. There were many young people who broke up with their parents and ran away from home in order to become professional. In the end, they came to the club and even reported to the police. The scene was very ugly.
His parents were relatively open-minded among the older generation. They could keep up with the times and use WeChat, TikTok, and other apps. They were more accepting of new things.
However, Chen Ziyou knew that her parents were unwilling to see him walk down this path.
Because…they couldn't see the future.
"toot-"
At night, Chen Ziyou called home.
"Hello,"
"Dad, it's me."
Chen Ziyou took a deep breath and smiled as she heard the familiar voice.
"What's wrong? You don't have enough living expenses again?"
"No, no. Actually, your son has made a lot of money recently.”
"Really?" Father Chen was slightly stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly asked,"Did you do anything illegal?”
"No, it's a legitimate industry. Recently,'eSports' has become very popular among young people. I'm good at gaming, so some clubs invited me to be a professional player.”
After Chen Ziyou gave a simple explanation, she did not give her father any time to think and continued,""The contract is very good. I've already signed it. It gives me a signing bonus of 500,000 yuan for half a year and a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan. Dad, send me your bank account number later. I'll transfer the signing fee to you. I have enough money.”
"I have to follow the club's arrangements and go to training immediately. The penalty for breaching the contract is more than two million. We can't afford it…"
“……”
On the other end of the phone, after receiving so many messages at once, Father Chen was completely silent.
After a while, Father Chen slowly said,
"…Alright, you go first. I'll understand more about e-sports in the future.”
"By the way, Dad, I'll go through the suspension procedures with the school later. You just need to sign it.”
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ziyou heaved a sigh of relief and revealed an expression that said," The plan has worked."
Why did he sign the contract first?
Kill first and report later.
Since the contract had been signed, there was no room for regret.
Chen Ziyou's family couldn't afford to pay the exorbitant price of 2.5 million yuan as compensation for breaching the contract. Of course, this was also because her parents didn't know that Chen Ziyou had earned more than 20 million yuan from the outside world.
As for the 500,000 yuan signing fee, it was to prove to his family that he had made some achievements and that he had not been cheated…
Most parents wouldn't restrict their children's passion even if they didn't understand it…But the premise of all this was that you had made achievements in the career you were passionate about and let them see the future. Otherwise, parents who cared about you would sometimes force you to do things you didn't like.
The main point was the results…or rather, the money.
Financial power was equal to autonomy.
Even in family relationships, money was an unavoidable topic.
……
……
The next day.
The official Weibo of the UEFA Champions League released a picture of the players.
A handsome young man in an Edg uniform crossed his arms and smiled confidently.
"Just today, another player has joined the big family of Edg. He was the number one player on the Korean server with an amazing 81% win rate. He was extremely good at carrying champions on the top lane. Warm Reaper#Chen Ziyou officially joined the team as the top unit of the team.”
The netizens quickly gathered at the bottom of Weibo.
During S5, because of their excellent results, Piggies (the fans of the E-sports team) dominated the entire e-sports scene.
The number of male fans was not small, and there were even more female fans.
The young man's appearance made the Weibo ladies 'eyes light up. This kind of good looks could be said to be exceptionally outstanding in the esports industry. It felt like a red dot among the green bushes. It felt no different from those male gods in the entertainment industry. They could even go to film movies and television dramas. Who would have thought that they would actually become professional players?
"Wow, what kind of handsome little brother is this?”
"I've confirmed my eyes and met the right person.”
"Although I want to ask what my Tong Yang will do, Little Brother is innocent.”
"I love you, I love you. From now on, I'm Reaper's only fan.”
"The name is also nice. Is it from the poem 'Green Purple Gold, My Heart Is Lazy?'?”
The focus of the female fans was basically on looks, strength was secondary.
For pro players, the female fans basically called them by their first names, which made them seem friendly.
On the other hand, the male fans were more boorish. They either used their player IDs or played jokes.
"F * ck, the factory manager privately messaged God R yesterday. There were rumors that he was going to join Edg. I didn't expect it to be true.”
"You really dare to go to the top lane's graveyard, so why don't you learn more about it?”
"Reaper is very strong.”
"No matter how strong they are, they still have to look at their compatibility. No matter how I think about it, they're not a nuclear team.”
"Hello everyone, it's time for the Silver and Gold players to teach the club how to buy players.”
As long as it was related to the eSports circle, all the bloggers reposted this news, causing a huge uproar on the entire Internet.
Many of Reaper's personal fans were also discussing this matter.
