Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

That night.

In a private room of a certain hotel, a banquet has been set up, with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and it is extremely luxurious.

The EDG members sat together, toasting each other, and the whole box was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After the game, Abu brought everyone here to celebrate EDG's advancement to the finals and also to celebrate their successful ticket to the World Championship.

"At first I really thought we wouldn't be able to go to the World Championship this season. Don't worry if you guys laugh at me. I had already thought about how to apologize. I didn't expect Xiaolang to suddenly come to me. A miracle actually happened."

Abu raised his wine glass and said with emotion.

He still remembers that afternoon when Shen Lang came to EDG alone for a tryout. At that time, he and Nofe only felt that this player was very talented and could take over the pressure in the future after Ray retired or transferred.

The reason why I looked for Shen Lang in the first place was because I valued his ability to withstand pressure.

No one expected that the unintentional move would completely change EDG. The pressure-resistant top laner originally prepared for the future has now become EDG's carry point.

Until this time, Abu still felt that the world was a little absurd.

"Cheers to Brother Weiwu!"

Ed Zhu also raised his glass and jokingly mentioned Shen Lang's nickname.

Everyone followed suit and raised their glasses.

They should indeed thank Shen Lang. In the words of netizens, the other EDG players should kowtow to Shen Lang.

Without Shen Lang, it’s hard to say whether we can even make it to the semi-finals, let alone the finals.

The comparison between today's first game against RW and the following three games is a bit exaggerated.

Before Shen Lang came on the court, EDG was crushed by RW. After Shen Lang came on the court, RW was crushed by EDG in three consecutive games. Anyone with eyes can see that Shen Lang is the key factor in changing the situation.

"thanks, thanks."

Shen Lang picked up the wine glass and drank the happy water in it.

He was still quite humble in front of his boss, after all, he was still counting on him to pay his salary.

"Isn't Xiaolang from the Magic City?"

Ed Zhu asked casually.

Shen Lang shook his head: "I'm from Pingxiang, Jiangxi."

"Young people should come to big cities to work hard. How about this? If you win the competition this time, I won't give you a bonus... I'll just give you a suite."

Ed Zhu said lightly.

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Shen Lang was very disappointed, wondering why his boss was not as generous as before.

But after Ed Zhu finished speaking, he instantly became energetic.

The boss is still rich and inhumane!

The transaction was for a house, so in comparison, the small bonus was undoubtedly insignificant.

"That's so embarrassing."

Shen Lang's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he did not politely refuse as usual.

This is an apartment in Shanghai!

Seeing Shen Lang's reaction, a smile appeared on Edward Zhu's face.

A house is indeed not cheap, but if he can win Shen Lang's heart by paying for it, it is totally worth it in his opinion.

It was not until today that he found out that the contract signed by Shen Lang and EDG was only for one year.

Although EDG has the priority right to renew the contract after this, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

Shen Lang is only 18 years old, but he has already shown the level of a top professional player. Under normal circumstances, professional players will retire at the age of 25.

In other words, Shen Lang still has at least 7 years of professional career.

Seven years!

You have to know that it is only the S8 season now.

As long as Shen Lang can maintain this state, EDG will definitely have no problem advancing to the World Championship. Seven years means seven chances, so it should not be a problem to win the world championship trophy.

Shen Lang is the future of EDG.

To capture Shen Lang is to capture the future!

After today's game, Ed Zhu did his homework and learned about the conflict between him and RNG. He also knew that trying to tie him down with a contract would be counterproductive, so he used this method to win over people's hearts.

EDG is no poorer than other clubs, and it treats you no worse than other clubs. There is no reason for it to violate the previous contract, right?

Ed Zhu has asked Abu to prepare to sign a new contract with Shen Lang and wait for the summer season to end. The gambling contract signed a few months ago can no longer match Shen Lang's current worth.

……

After the celebration, everyone quickly returned to the base.

Shen Lang doesn't train on weekdays, so he naturally won't train on competition days. He was even too lazy to turn on his computer and went straight back to the dormitory to rest.

Just as he was about to play two games of Honor of Kings, he suddenly received a call from home.

"Langzi, you played well in today's game. You've won MVP for three consecutive games. You're worthy of being my son!"

Dad's loud voice came from the phone.

Ever since Shen Lang started playing professionally, his father has also started to learn about the game League of Legends and watch the games. Now he can actually understand the games to a certain extent.

"Hey, of course, your son is an expert."

Shen Lang said proudly.

"I heard that if we win today's game, we can go to the World Championship. We should play well in the following games, win glory for our country, and make a name for ourselves. We can earn more money and buy a house in Shanghai in the future..."

Dad started to chatter.

"Is it so easy to buy a house in Shanghai? Even if you kill all the pigs in the town, it still won't be enough. You just put pressure on your son."

The mother next to her immediately started complaining.

"Our boss gave me a house today."

Shen Lang suddenly spoke.

The phone fell into a long silence, and after a long time, an unbelievable voice came: "I'll just give you a suite, and you'll help your boss take the bullet?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang smiled and said nothing.

Dad only knew that he performed very well today and won the MVP of three games in a row, but he had no idea of his value after winning these three MVPs.

At this time, he is no longer the young man who tried every means to gain a foothold in the professional arena.

Now he is a hot star player.

……

the other side.

After the party, Ed Zhu received a call.

The person who called him was RNG boss Bai Xing.

These second-generation rich guys in the e-sports circle are all connected to each other, and they used to get together to show off whose team performed better.

Ever since RNG won the MSI championship, Bai Xing has been showing off in front of Adezhu, which makes Adezhu very unhappy. However, he is troubled by his team's poor performance, so he can only play ostrich and ignore Bai Xing.

Now that EDG has achieved remarkable results, he can naturally stand tall in front of Bai Xing.

"Lao Zhu, thank you EDG for giving RNG the opportunity to advance to the World Championship."

Bai Xing was not in a hurry to talk about business, but thanked Edward Zhu first.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

Ed Zhu knew that it was definitely no good thing for him to call at this time.

"It's nothing serious. I just took a fancy to one of your EDG's professional players. EDG is full of talented players anyway. Why don't you just sell it to me?"

Bai Xing stated his purpose.

Ed Zhu sneered: "The player you are talking about is not Shen Lang, right?"

Asking for other youth training players is indeed a small matter, but asking for Shen Lang is definitely a big deal.

"That's right, he came from RNG, so there shouldn't be any problem for him to return to RNG. Let him partner with Uzi, and we can easily win the first world championship for LPL. I won't let you suffer any loss, so we can discuss the transfer fee."

Bai Xing deliberately made it simple.

If Ed Zhu hadn't watched the games these days, he might have been fooled, but now he has discovered Shen Lang's value and naturally will not give it to RNG.

In fact, he couldn't make a decision.

If Shen Lang returns to RNG, he won't be able to pass that hurdle. The contract is only for one year. Who knows, Shen Lang might just give up and fight back like he did in RNG. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

"Bullshit, you are so bold. Let Shen Lang be given to you. Otherwise, you can let Uzi come to EDG. You can name the price. Let him partner with Shen Lang, and EDG can also win the first LPL championship."

Ed Zhu cursed.

Listening to Edward Zhu's tone on the phone, Bai Xing knew that if he didn't spend a lot of money, he would not be able to buy Shen Lang back.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

If it weren't for Kwon Jong-hyuk, Shen Lang wouldn't have left RNG, and there would be no need for him to be here arguing with Ed Zhu.

This afternoon he watched the game between EDG and RW with IG boss Wang Sicong.

Watching Shen Lang's crazy killing on the field, Bai Xing couldn't help but sigh: "Aide Zhu is really lucky to have picked up such a talented player. If Brother Weiwu was in RNG, he would easily win the world championship this year."

As a result, Wang Sicong told him with gloating: "Shen Lang used to be a player of RNG. He came to EDG after being fired by RNG."

Hearing this, Bai Xing's blood pressure instantly soared.

He is not like Wang Sicong, who often surfs Weibo and is not aware of the conflict between RNG and Shen Lang.

After he figured out the whole story, his defenses were instantly broken.

The reason why RNG lost this talented player was just because of tens of thousands of dollars.

Tens of thousands of dollars!

That’s the cost of his meal.

He didn't even finish watching the game and directly called Kwon Jong-hyuk to scold him.

At the beginning, because Kwon Jong-hyuk really wanted to kick out the sloppy Shen Lang, the contract was signed very "perfectly". Now it is impossible to get Shen Lang back.

In desperation, Bai Xing came up with the idea of buying Shen Lang back.

But it is obvious that it is easy to kick someone out, but it is difficult to invite them back.

No matter how much he offered, Ed Zhu refused to give in and kept saying that Shen Lang was not for sale.

There is nothing that is not for sale in this world. It's just that the price offered is not enough. However, RNG's current finances can no longer offer a price that matches Shen Lang's talent.

In the end, the two parted unhappily, and Shirahoshi had to face reality.

After hanging up the phone, Ed Zhu couldn’t help but complain: “You want Shen Lang, I still want him!”

It remains unknown whether Shen Lang is willing to re-sign a contract with EDG.

Moreover, this guy seems to be laughing on the surface, but judging from his previous actions, he is definitely a troublemaker.

You can't control him with a contract.

RNG is a vivid example. They dared to give up directly. The contract only has one year left. Now it has been a few months and Shen Lang is only 18 years old. There is definitely enough time to wait.

Now that he has made a name for himself, even if he plays badly for the next year, there will still be plenty of teams vying for him when his contract expires.

"What kind of contract should I give him?"

Edward Zhu was also a little embarrassed.

At this moment, the phone rang again, and this time it was Wang Sicong who called.

He also wants Shen Lang!

"Did Shirahoshi contact you just now?"

Wang Sicong said teasingly: "This guy almost died of anger this afternoon when he heard that Shen Lang was fired from RNG. You are lucky. If there were no problems with the RNG management, you really wouldn't have been able to get Shen Lang."

"He wanted to buy Shen Lang, but I didn't agree."

Edward Zhu said truthfully, feeling somewhat relieved.

Thanks to the club's management who had a keen eye for talent, they discovered Shen Lang in time and decisively signed the contract.

"I also want to buy Shen Lang, do you agree?"

Wang Sicong got straight to the point.

Ed Zhu smiled and shook his head: "Don't do it, IG already has Theshy, how can Shen Lang have a place in the past? Let him be a substitute for Theshy?"

"If Shen Lang performs well, it may not be impossible for Theshy to be his substitute."

Wang Sicong replied.

"Tsk tsk——"

Ed Zhu couldn't help but be amazed. He let Theshy be a substitute for Shen Lang. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Wang attaches great importance to Shen Lang.

But unfortunately, no matter how much he values it, he can't let it go.

"EDG is still counting on Shen Lang to win the championship. Selling him is impossible. How can they compete in the World Championship without him?"

Ed Zhu still refused.

"Win the championship?"

Wang Sicong laughed immediately: "Shen Lang is indeed very strong, and I am optimistic about his future, but EDG wants to rely on Shen Lang to win the world championship, you are probably dreaming."

"Forget about the world championship, we can't even win the summer championship!"

Wang Sicong is still very confident in IG. EDG did perform very strongly in today's game, but it was largely because Shen Lang was able to exert suppression power in the top lane.

This is true whether against RW or RNG.

When facing IG, his opponent will become Theshy. Wang Sicong doesn't think Shen Lang can still suppress the opponent in the laning phase.

If EDG can’t exert suppression effect in the top lane, how can they win?

"Then we'll see."

Ed Zhu responded with a smile.

At this time, Wang Sicong suddenly thought of something and said cunningly: "How about we make a bet. If EDG wins the summer championship, I will give you Jackeylove. If IG wins, you give me Shen Lang."

"No gambling!"

Ed Zhu was very determined.

Although he said that EDG could win the championship, he was actually a little unsure.

"Oh, what a pity!"

Seeing that Edward Zhu was not fooled, Wang Sicong had no choice but to give up.

Later, bosses of other teams also called, and their target was naturally Shen Lang. Some of them offered extremely exaggerated prices, and even Edward Zhu was tempted, but he rejected them in the end.

He doesn't want to sell it, and he can't sell it.

These people's calls only made him pay more attention to Shen Lang. The more exaggerated the price others offered, the more determined he was to tie Shen Lang to EDG.

"It seems that one apartment is not enough!"

Ed Zhu sighed to himself.
