LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Abu persuaded him, "It's too troublesome to sign a one-year contract. Xiao Mo, don't worry, if you can continue to win championships in the future, we will also increase your salary..."

Su Mo explained: "It's not about salary. Anyway, I prefer a one-year contract."

Seeing Su Mo's determination, Edward Zhu responded, "Okay, let's do as you say. Let's sign a one-year contract. We won't waste time on this issue."

"Besides that, you can tell me if you have any other requests."

Su Mo responded: "I plan to create a brand under my own name."

"Hmm? Brand? What do you want to do by creating this brand?" Abu asked.

Su Mo replied: "I have some ideas, but I haven't thought them through yet. I'll talk about it when the time comes."

Ed Zhu asked back: "Do you want to get involved in business? Will this affect your training and playing?"

Su Mo made a promise: "Boss, don't worry about this. It won't have any impact on the performance on the field."

Ed Zhu nodded: "That's fine, it's your freedom, as long as it doesn't affect the game."

"The last topic is, this time EDG won the S game, and you played a great role in it. How much salary do you think would be appropriate for you?"

Su Mo replied: "As for salary... I don't have too many requirements, just about enough is fine."

Su Mo really doesn't have any requirements for salary. His current salary is 10 million plus % equity incentive.

It is an astronomical figure for ordinary players, but Su Mo now has a lot of income from various sources. If you really calculate it, this 1500 million salary income is nothing. Even if it is increased to 2000 million or even 3000 million, the change will not be big.

Edward Zhu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Well, I'll increase your salary to 2000 million, plus a 15% equity incentive. Don't you want to create your own brand?"

"If you need anything, our club can help you promote it for free. What do you think?"

Abu helped to speak up: "Hey, with Mr. Zhu's connections in the business world, if he helps you with promotion, it will definitely not be comparable to ordinary advertising companies."

Su Mo nodded: "No problem, thank you very much, Mr. Zhu."

So Abu was responsible for printing the contract, while Su Mo continued to chat with the boss.

Soon, the contract was printed. Su Mo took a quick glance at it, signed it, and then returned to the training room.

"Factory, the boss wants you to come over." Su Mo greeted.

So the factory manager got up and left the training room and went straight to the boss's office.

"Brother Mozi, how is it? How was your talk with the boss?" Zizhi suddenly came up and grabbed Su Mo's arm, like a curious baby.

Others also looked over, seemingly quite curious.

Su Mo said calmly: "Not bad."

"Not bad? What does "not bad" mean?" Zizi was confused about the situation.

Su Mo replied: "It's OK, it's OK."

So he asked boldly: "Brother Mozi, can we still see you next season? You won't be gone, will you?"

Su Mo smiled: "Why should I take a walk?"

"That's it! Nice!" Zizi was very happy.

Suddenly, Meiko reminded him: "Zhizhi, what if, I mean what if, you go for a walk next year?"

Zizi said, "How is that possible? Brother Mozi and I have a bond that is as strong as gold. There is no way we can just walk away."

"Hey, who has a love that is stronger than gold with you? Get out of the way!" Su Mo pulled his arm away, getting goose bumps all over his body.

Meiko hinted wildly: "I didn't say you left on your own initiative, what if you had to?"

He pretended to be calm: "Impossible, where can I find a champion top laner who is as diligent, hardworking and honest as me?"

Soon, the factory manager came back and looked quite calm. It was hard to tell whether the negotiation was successful or not.

"Scout, the boss wants you to go over there." The factory manager reminded, then sat down next to Su Mo.

"How is the factory?" Su Mo looked at the factory director.

The factory manager responded: "What else can we do? Let's just leave it as it is."

Zizi came over and said, "Director, are you leaving next season? Huh?"

The factory manager rolled his eyes: "Who told you I'm leaving?"

Then he changed his tone: "But...he is indeed a veteran."

Zizhi followed suit and said, "You should also think about what will happen after you die."

"Pfft..." Meiko laughed.

The factory manager continued, "The club is looking for a new substitute jungler and would like me to lead the team."

After hearing this, everyone understood.

The transition from the old to the new requires a process, so it is usually the old who lead the new.

Everyone was silent for a while. Although they knew this day would come, they felt mixed emotions when it suddenly came.

"What's your reaction? I'm not dead." The factory manager suddenly said.

Everyone laughed, and Meiko asked, "Who is the substitute jungler?"

"Recruitment hasn't started yet, but it will probably start in a few days."

Soon, Scout also came back.

He looked quite calm. The next one was Meiko, then Iboy, and finally Zzitai.

After talking to everyone, it seemed like no one had any particularly big reaction.

When it was night, Ed Zhu took everyone out for dinner to have a meal and deepen their connections.

After dinner, Su Mo returned to the training base and started the live broadcast!
Normally it should have been live broadcast yesterday, but I was abroad yesterday and it wasn’t convenient, so I’ll do it today.

All EDG members returned to their respective positions and started the broadcast together!
Su Mo released the news in advance on Weibo, so as soon as the live broadcast started, the popularity of the live broadcast room reached 200 million within a few minutes and was still rising rapidly.

The live broadcast lasted until one o'clock in the morning, when Su Mo ended it.

Su Mo took a look at his background. So far this year, he has received gifts worth 5294 million!

More than twice as high as the second place!
Last year, he was the anchor who received the most gifts on the entire platform. At that time, he was only a few million more than the second place, but now the gap has completely widened.

The next morning, Su Mo came to the Mozi Interactive Entertainment Studio.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang.

Soon, the door opened.

"Brother Mozi!" Standing at the door was Rita, who was wearing pink pajamas.

"Good morning, Rita." Su Mo greeted.

"Come in quickly."

Su Mo walked in, closed the door, and took a quick look, but didn't see Luo Xin.

Rita said: "Luo Xin hasn't woken up yet, I'll go call her."

Su Mo stopped her and said, "Forget it. It's vacation time now. Just let her sleep. It doesn't matter."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

Su Mo walked to the computer and asked, "How is the final video editing going? Do you need my help?"

Rtia responded: "If Brother Mozi can help, that would be great, but if Brother Mozi has other things to do, I can do it myself."

"There's nothing to do right now, so let's do it together." So Su Mo and Rita started editing the video together.

I don’t know how long it took, but the room next door finally responded.

The door suddenly opened, and Luo Xin walked out with squinted eyes and messy hair, like a zombie, with a stiff body and expressionless face. He held a cup in his hand and walked towards the water dispenser.

"Good morning..." Luo Xin originally just wanted to say hello to Rita, but suddenly, she noticed that there was another person next to Rita! The two of them looked at her with smiles on their faces.

"Um...Brother Mozi!" Luo Xin turned and ran, returning to the room and locking the door in a second.

Rita smiled and continued working.

An hour later, when Luo Xin came out again, she was in a completely different state than before.

"Brother Mozi, good morning." Luo Xin greeted.

Su Mo replied: "Good afternoon."

"Noon... ahem..." Luo Xin looked at the time and it was already past eleven o'clock.

"Are you going out?" Su Mo teased.

At this time, Luo Xin had put on her makeup and was dressed very formally, and she really looked like she was going out.

Luo Xin was stunned and suddenly didn't know how to answer. She just wanted to save her sloppy image.

"I... I'll bring you lunch! That's right, I'll go buy lunch!" Luo Xin suddenly had an idea and thought of an excuse.

Rita smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Xin went out to bring lunch, and more than half an hour later, the three of them started to eat lunch.

While eating, Luo Xin asked, "Brother Mozi, next season...will you still be in EDG?"

Su Mo responded: "Well, I have already signed the contract, why are you asking this suddenly?"

Luo Xin exclaimed: "If you can win the championship again next year, EDG will win three consecutive championships! Surpassing SKT! Isn't EDG the greatest team in history?"

Su Mo nodded: "If we can win three consecutive championships, it's okay to say so."

"Wow! Really, it feels incredible. Think about what EDG was like in S5 and S6. Now they are about to become triple champions!" Luo Xin's eyes began to sparkle with stars.

Su Mo said: "But it's not that simple. The version will change. Teams all over the world are improving. We, EDG, can't just lie there and do nothing."

Rita asked, "Brother Mozi, from what I've observed, LCK seems to be going downhill and declining rapidly. For example, the three teams in this year's Worlds are much worse than the previous LCK representative teams."

"If this trend continues, EDG's biggest rivals may be LPL teams. I think it's okay for me to say this."

Su Mo responded: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. LCK has a strong ability to generate blood. Don't think you can defeat them so easily."

Rita asked: "Has Mozi discovered a strong new player in LCK? But a few talented players can't change the situation of the entire region."

Su Mo replied: "Indeed, one or two players can't change, but if the whole team is made up of experts, it will be different."

Luo Xin and Rita looked at each other, seemingly not knowing who Su Mo was referring to.

Su Mo continued: "In short, the competition will be more intense next year, both inside and outside the LPL."

After dinner, the three of them took a break and then continued working. It was not until the evening that the videos of the three games were edited.

Su Mo is looking forward to the video editing of these three games, hoping to create a history of likes.

Three days later, a trending search topped the list of major news platforms:
#MakeHistory, the first video to reach over 20 million likes

This hot search refers to the S8 finals video released by Su Mo. Currently, the video of the third game has the highest number of likes, which has exceeded 2200 million!
Taking history to a new level.

The number of followers of Su Mo’s Douyin account has reached 50 million!
It turns out that you still need a large enough number of fans to have a chance to create a record.

For this purpose, the official Douyin specially invited Su Mo to come over and re-shoot a set of advertisements, adding the fact that the number of likes exceeded 20 million.

Spread the word.

Su Mo received three million in advertising fees from Douyin.

It's so easy to make money. An advertisement that only takes an hour to shoot can bring in three million in revenue.

Isn't this easier than playing a game?
At the same time, some news came from the LCK region.

This year should be the most unsuccessful year in SKT's history. Not only did they fail to win an international championship, but in the end they lost the S championship to LPL at home.

Therefore, LCK fans are extremely disappointed, and reforms must be carried out within the LCK.

First of all, SKT has undergone a major reshuffle, from the management, to the investors, to the players and coaching staff. Not many people can stay, and most of them have to be replaced.

#It is rumored that SKT top laner Thal has left the team
#SKT officially announced that top laner Untara left the team.

#SKT substitute mid laner Pirean leaves the team.

#SKT champion ADC Bang officially announced his departure
#SKT champion support, Wolf leaves the team.

SKT's approach is no different from settlement reorganization.

Of course, for SKT fans, the biggest comfort is that Faker is still there and the cornerstone of the team is still there.

Not only SKT, other LCK teams, such as KT, are also undergoing a major change.

#Mata officially announced his departure from KT
#KT officially announced that Score left the team.

#KT officially announced Deflt's departure
As a result, a trending search related to Su Mo rushed into the top ten:
#Mozige destroyed LCK

Netizens are discussing:
"Oh my god, it feels like the LCK region is going to be disbanded."

"Brother Mozi's punch was a bit heavy. He destroyed an entire division with one punch."

"Brother Mozi is such a bad guy. Without LCK, who will our LPL compete with for the championship in the future?"

“I think IG has some credit for this.”

Of course, Su Mo is not so optimistic. It would be more accurate to say that LCK was defeated by him.

It is better to say that LCK has entered a stage of metabolism. The old players can no longer support this region, and it is time to make room for newcomers. This is a painful process for LCK, but it is also an opportunity for rebirth.

#EDG recruits ADC
#EDG recruits junglers
#EDG recruits top laner
EDG’s three recruitment messages were dug out and posted online.

Normally, no one would pay attention to this kind of recruitment information, but this is EDG!

So the public opinion on the Internet exploded:

"What's going on? Brother Mozi is leaving? It's over, EDG is finished!"

"It doesn't matter. I'll be a fan wherever Brother Mozi goes."

"Is EDG crazy? They had a chance to win three consecutive championships. Are they crazy?"

"Investigate EDG's management strictly. I suspect there are spies from LCK. This is revenge from LCK!"

Thus, a conspiracy theory emerged that EDG’s management had been infiltrated by LCK.

Since LCK couldn't defeat EDG, it had to dismantle EDG.

Although this is just a conspiracy theory among netizens, it has a huge impact on the EDG club, and countless fans have crazily attacked the club.

So the club can come out and clarify immediately.

#Abu said Mozige will not leave EDG
#Aidezhulive

As the boss, Ed Zhu even came out to the live broadcast to assure that Su Mo and the factory manager will still be in EDG next year and the contract has been signed.

Su Mo's first reaction when he saw the news was that Zhizi seemed to be leaving!
Because the club did not mention the attitude issue.

I guess they didn't reach an agreement, which is understandable. (End of this chapter)
