League: What? A bunch of old men can win a championship?

Lu Yingdong looked up and saw the message notification that popped up in front of him, and was slightly startled.

Did this task suddenly become complete?

Hmm...that makes sense.

After all, the task required him to get a starting position, but now both TES and EDG have offered him contracts, and he even has the ability to choose between the two. This should be considered as him exceeding expectations!

But what exactly is this "Veteran Bond Module"?

This is a reward from the main mission.

The Peak Cards from the previous secondary missions had already helped him secure those two big contracts, and the rewards from this main mission would only be even better.

Without hesitation, Lu Yingdong immediately entered the system panel and saw the newly added modules on the panel.

[Veteran Synergy Module]

[Not afraid to ride a fledgling horse, yet still able to draw a strong bow. It's time to change people's perception of veteran generals; the chariots of the old era are the most steadfast!]

【根据队伍首发的老将数量（1/2/3/4/5），老将们都将获得全属性加成（1/3/5/7/10）！】

[Current bonus: 0 (No teams available)]

[Note 1: Players aged 24 and above are considered veterans]

[Note 2: The Veteran Bond module can boost attributes by a maximum of 95 points]

After quickly scanning the introduction in front of him, Lu Yingdong's eyes immediately lit up!

This is great stuff!

In other words, as long as you gather five players aged 24 or older, the entire team will receive a 10-point bonus to all attributes.

This improvement is terrifying!

Of course, it's very difficult to get all the bonds together.

Where can we find these five veterans? There are probably very few who are still active in this field at the age of 24.

Even if you could find it, the team's management wouldn't listen to you and replace all the young players with older ones. In their eyes, that would be asking for trouble!

Changing the team is impossible, so Lu Yingdong must take the initiative to pursue it.

If the mountains will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad can go to the mountains.

He had to join a group that was mostly made up of older men.

Having figured this out, Lu Yingdong turned and looked at TES's lineup again.

Top laner Wayward, born in 01, 21 years old; jungler Tian, ​​born in 00, 22 years old; bot laner JackeyLove, born in 00, 22 years old; support Ming or Crisp, born in 98, 24 years old...

Only the support position meets the veteran requirement.

Although these players will be a year older by next year's S13 season, only the support role will be able to play.

That won't do! The people at TES are too young; they're not his type!

With this module, his focus shifts from team strength to team age...

Anyone over 24 years old who is still active in the competition is definitely not a weak player, so he just needs to focus on building up the synergies.

But looking at EDG's roster...

Top laner Flandre, born in 98, 24 years old; jungler jiejie, born in 01, 22 years old; bot lane unknown; support Meiko, born in 98, 24 years old.

To be honest, it has a lot of potential!

First, it comes with two veteran players, so as long as you join, you can easily form a three-person synergy.

Secondly, the AD position is undecided. If we can intervene, there is a great chance of acquiring a veteran player!

Secondly... EDG also has Clearlove... he's the ultimate veteran.

It's no exaggeration to say that if there's one team that can assemble a full synergy of veteran players... it can only be EDG.

While I was pondering, a little while had passed.

Across the conference room, Guo Hao stared blankly at Lu Yingdong, who was staring at the contract in a daze, and for a moment, he too was somewhat stunned...

This guy has been staring at that spot for two minutes already. What's that clause written there? Does he really need to think about it so much...?

We are not RNG.

"Um..." Guo Hao was about to speak when he saw Lu Yingdong suddenly stand up.

"Let me think about it some more," Lu Yingdong said decisively. "After all, this is a big deal, and I can't make a hasty decision."

"Huh?" Guo Hao exclaimed in surprise.

With such great treatment and such a great lineup, is there any need to hesitate?

This is a spot that countless mid-laners would kill to get!

Guo Hao thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, but let's do it as soon as possible, since the transfer window is only three weeks long."

Lu Yingdong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it should be very fast."

It will indeed be very fast, because Lu Yingdong's choice has become incredibly firm with the appearance of the [Veteran Bond Module].

His statement that he would consider it was merely to save face for both parties.

He made a special trip over here, but before he could even say two words, he said, "I'm sorry, we're not a good match," which was somewhat abstract.

"Shall I be going now?" Lu Yingdong handed the contract back to Guo Hao and said with a smile, "I'm sorry if this causes you any trouble."

"It's alright, no trouble at all," Guo Hao said with a smile. "I wish you all the best, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to cooperate."

The two then returned to the base entrance, and Guo Hao watched Lu Yingdong get into a Didi and drive away.

Guo Hao felt somewhat helpless as he watched Didi drive away.

Those who can become team managers are all shrewd and capable.

Especially someone as outstanding as Guo Hao.

He understood, of course, that once Lu Yingdong left, he would never return.

With no other option, he had to take the contract and return to the base.

Just as I arrived at the base, JackeyLove came out of the training room.

"What's going on?" JackeyLove asked. "Wasn't DongShen supposed to be here? Where is he?"

Guo Hao shrugged. "He's already gone."

"They're leaving already?" JackeyLove couldn't help but frown. "Is he unhappy with us?"

"Probably," Guo Hao said. "After I explained our roster building plan, he was in a daze for a long time, and then told me he was leaving. It must be a roster issue."

"No way..." JackeyLove said with some doubt, "Does EDG have a really good roster for the new season?"

"Who knows? Why don't you ask him?"

"Okay, I'll ask later."

...

Didi is driving back to Lingshi Road.

Lu Yingdong saw the call pop up on his phone. Although he felt a little helpless, he had no choice but to answer it.

"Hey, Wenbo."

"What's going on, DongShin? Aren't you going to eat before leaving?"

"I've already eaten..."

"Dong Shen, tell me the truth, what's going on? Why did you leave so quickly?"

"Wow, your lineup is amazing, I'm not good enough for you guys."

"Don't talk nonsense... You were beating us up yesterday. We really want you to join us."

"Sigh, because after thinking about it, I still prefer to stay with EDG."

"...Okay." JackeyLove stopped pressing the issue.

JackeyLove also understands that unless there are unforeseen circumstances, no one would choose to leave their original team.

What's more, some players have been with this team for eight years.

"Anyway," JackeyLove said, "congratulations on making it into the starting lineup, Dong."

Lu Yingdong also laughed and said, "Hehe, thanks!"

"Damn it, I still can't take it anymore. You have to treat me to a meal sometime when I have a day off!"

"no problem!"

"..."

The two argued as they went along, and the Didi car continued its journey until it finally came to a slow stop on Lingshi Road.

Because the message had been sent in advance, a large group of people were already waiting at the entrance of the base.

There are Abu, Maokai, and the factory manager.

There's also Holy Lance, JieJie, and Meiko.

Seeing their old friend get out of the car, everyone immediately smiled and crowded around.

Listening to his old friends' pleasantries, Lu Yingdong chuckled, "Why are you all so nervous? Didn't I tell you? I'm just going to take a quick look at Topsports."

"Now that you're back," Abu said with a smile, "how about we talk about the contract?"

Lu Yingdong nodded.

"certainly."

...

...

...

Including the chapter from early morning, there are 7,000 words updated today.

Today, I will not allow anyone to say that I am short!

As for the veteran bond module, it was actually the initial idea for this book.

Many people say that this book was written by me to capitalize on the popularity of the Old Man's Cup, but that's really not the case.

I had an initial idea when I was still writing "Letting Go".

"Wouldn't it be interesting to write about a team with a lot of veteran players like Harden, where the more Harden players there are, the stronger they are?"

That idea became the book we know today.

But when you actually start writing, you'll find it's incredibly difficult.

How can we provide enough support to veteran teammates? We need to ensure they don't become a liability due to their age, give them enough opportunities to shine, and prevent them from overshadowing the team.

The concept is actually quite complex.

Ultimately, I had no choice but to use the current model.

As for how this model will actually work, I don't know; we can only take it one step at a time.

Finally, the book's performance during its initial release period was not ideal, far inferior to the previous book, "Playing it cool." This may be due to my poor choice of ideas, my lack of skill, or the overall decline in the literary scene.

Anyway, I hope you guys can give me more support. Considering I've written 7,000 words today, please give me some monthly votes so I can read it every day!
