Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

Amid cheers from the audience, EDG completed their post-match interviews, then bid farewell to the crowd and returned to the club.

Back at the club, coach Nofe reviewed the match.

However, they were only playing against DAN, a team that had been promoted from LSPL.

In the original history, EDG was easily defeated by DAN 2-0.

But back then, in EDG's scrims, the AD carry and jungler positions were often in disarray.

This resulted in EDG being clearly out of sorts in the S7 Summer Split, which is why DAN easily stole the win right from the start.

EDG has just returned from MSI, and the teammates' teamwork is quite good.

Moreover, the top laner consistently breaks through the opponent's defenses in every game, and the other players follow the operational logic after gaining an advantage in the top lane, making it easy to win the game.

Of course, there is another very important reason besides that: Abu has a mission to assign today!

"Everyone get ready, we received an ad for a Bixin gaming companion app today!" Abu ordered a generous takeout for everyone and raised his hand to signal, "Everyone, eat quickly. Later, everyone should go to the Bixin app to order gaming companions and do a live stream while we're at it."

Upon hearing Abu's words, instead of showing any dissatisfaction, everyone stared at Abu with shining eyes.

"Hehe!" Zhou Hanyang let out a strange laugh: "Wow! Thank you, Sister Bu, long live Sister Bu."

Seeing Zhou Hanyang's expression, Abu immediately felt a warning bell ring in his mind: "Let me tell you, you're still young, you can't get carried away by women!"

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhou Hanyang's forehead. He stared at Abu in astonishment: "Sister Bu, what are you talking about? How am I obsessed with women? Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"

"Okay, okay!" Abu breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally settling back into his throat.

"Sister Bu, your thought process is really outrageous!" Zhou Hanyang couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't it because of that lewd... expression of yours?" Abu said irritably.

"What's wrong with my expression? I finally get to earn some extra money, can't I even be happy about it?" Zhou Hanyang immediately stood up and said matter-of-factly:

"It's one thing that the MSI prize money hasn't been paid out yet! The prize money for winning the Spring Split hasn't been paid out either. I'm going to starve if they don't pay out soon!"

"Uh..." Abu's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and he said helplessly, "The tournament organizers haven't given us the prize money yet, there's nothing we can do! The prize money for the Spring Season is in the process of being processed, it'll be here soon!"

Abu suddenly realized something and looked at Zhou Hanyang with some confusion: "Wait! Don't you have a salary? Where is your salary?"

"I signed a contract with Hainu Copper!" Zhou Hanyang's face darkened. "I only get 1 a month, and I still have to pay taxes!"

"Uh..." Abu's expression froze again; he had really forgotten about this!

The main reason is that Zhou Hanyang's performance on the field is so outstanding that it's easy to overlook the fact that he is just a newcomer.

"I read the contract myself, and I signed it myself. I won't ask for a raise!"

Fearing that Abu might misunderstand him, Zhou Hanyang waved his hand and said, "But you need to send me the prize money for winning the competition and the money from the live broadcast as soon as possible, otherwise I won't have enough money!"

EDG Club provides meals and accommodation, so Zhou Hanyang's monthly after-tax salary of nearly 1 RMB should be enough to live on.

However, Abu did not ask further questions, because Zhou Hanyang's requests were all reasonable.

As long as Zhou Hanyang doesn't go to KFC, doesn't promote Pai Gow, and doesn't go on a trip to Texas...

EDG will not interfere with Zhou Hanyang's private life.

"How about this, I'll ask the boss to apply for an advance of 10 RMB for you? An advance on the Spring Season championship prize money?" Abu said after a moment's thought.

"Great!!!" Zhou Hanyang immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Sister Bu."

Seeing Zhou Hanyang so happy, Abu knew in his heart that it was time to put the issue of raising wages on the agenda.

Other players certainly don't deserve a raise from EDG, but Zhou Hanyang is different.

He's so cool...

If he's not satisfied and leaves for this reason after his contract expires this year, EDG will suffer a huge loss!

"How about I lend you some?" Mingkai had spent the entire Spring Split with Zhou Hanyang, so he knew roughly what Zhou Hanyang was up to.

"No need," Zhou Hanyang waved his hand and said softly, "I actually have enough money!"

"Okay!" Mingkai didn't say anything more after hearing this.

"OK! Then download the PC version of the Pen Refill app and start a live stream." Abu clapped his hands, signaling everyone to get started.

"Wait!" Zhou Hanyang called out again.

"What's wrong?" Abu looked at Zhou Hanyang with a puzzled expression.

"You haven't said how much the service fee is yet?" Zhou Hanyang continued to press.

"Why are you always thinking about this?" Abu asked helplessly, covering his forehead with his right hand.

"Of course, we'll do as much work as we're paid for," Zhou Hanyang said quite seriously.

"Hmm?" Abu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

What does "you do as much work as you're paid for" mean?

"What do you mean?" Abu asked curiously.

"It's all for the show." Zhou Hanyang pointed to his head: "But it depends on whether the pen refills can command a price."

“Each person will receive 2!” Abu gave the specific labor fee.

“OK! Two hours of live streaming, the fee is 2, that’s 1 per hour. I guarantee they’ll get their money’s worth!” Zhou Hanyang nodded and turned to leave.

“Why isn’t it great value for money?” Abu shouted.

"It's not bad to be good value for money..." Zhou Hanyang turned around and rubbed his fingers together: "We'll have to pay more!"

"Go on, go on!" Abu waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he was very tired.

Everyone else stared at Zhou Hanyang's retreating figure, lost in thought.

"Zhou Hanyang is a bit outrageous, isn't he?" Meiko whispered to Mingkai.

"How is it outrageous?" Mingkai glanced at Meiko.

"Everyone was just trying to make a little easy money anyway," Meiko sighed helplessly. "But he insisted on forcing things to get competitive. Every time I stream with him, I feel like I'm the dumbest person, okay?"

"You don't know how to get rid of him?" Mingkai chuckled and teased.

"I can't keep up with the level of competition even when I'm trying my best, let alone outside of it? I'm afraid I'll die from exhaustion!" Meiko waved her thin arm.

“Then…” Mingkai helplessly spread his hands, just about to say a few words of comfort to Meiko, when Zhou Hanyang’s voice rang out.

"Mingkai? How about sharing some of your fee with me?" Zhou Hanyang turned around and said to Mingkai with a grin, "I'll tailor-make a program effect for you?"

"Do I need you to create the show's effects?" Ming Kai replied with a look of disdain.

"Didn't you connect to the Moffett Network?" Zhou Hanyang asked in astonishment. "When did you disconnect?"

"?" Mingkai was full of question marks, clearly not having reacted yet.

“He said you and the Stone Golem player share the same brain?” Meiko nudged Mingkai with her elbow.

"You son of a bitch! You get down here!!!" Ming Kai's anger erupted instantly, and he charged towards Zhou Hanyang.

[However, I'm taking a break tomorrow, so I'll update earlier and try to build up some backlog of chapters...]
