League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Back in the backstage dressing room, Abu was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

As soon as Li Chen entered, Abu hugged him tightly: "Hahaha, Chen played so well as always! Everyone else also performed great today. The boss has already said that everyone will get a bonus of 100,000, which will be paid out tonight."

Upon hearing about the bonus, everyone's smiles noticeably brightened; after all, nobody turns down money.

Seeing the factory manager smiling, Li Chen suddenly whispered, "I thought they were leaving tonight!"

"No, you little brat, you can't stand a day without getting dark, can you? It's just that I'll give you less red sauce today, so what?" The factory manager rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.

Li Chen, head held high and chest puffed out, declared confidently: "If you dare to steal my red buff today, you'll dare to steal my minions tomorrow. This is intolerable."

"Alright, alright, your family is always arguing. The factory manager and Ah Chen will be going up for an interview later, so get ready first. We'll go celebrate after the interview." Abudu had a headache from listening to this.

Li Chen took out his phone, opened Weibo, and started editing immediately:

32-0, not a single loss, but this is just the beginning. I'm working with the factory manager; he studies MSI, and I study the World Championship!

(Smiling and making a peace sign!)

I clicked send, just in time for the interview to begin.

Today's host is Yu Shuang, and everyone is an old acquaintance. Yu Shuang skillfully handed over the question card and then reminded him, "Brother Achen, don't mess with me today. I heard that RNG has already given you the financial compensation."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't talk about RNG today. We've got the money in our hands, so what's there to say?"

The factory manager narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing a murderous aura approaching him.

The interview began quickly. After the usual opening remarks, Yu Shuang posed the first question: "After nearly four months of hard work, EDG has finally achieved a perfect record in the Spring Regular Season today. God_C has even achieved a 100% win rate in 32 games. Does God_C have anything to say about this?"

Li Chen held the microphone and pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, it's not that hard work. It feels no different from ranked games, and even easier. I still don't have a 32-game winning streak in top-tier solo queue games."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Yu Shuang felt a bit weak. If she could, she really wanted to request a change of host.

The factory manager stood aside, completely unaffected. If he had this kind of dominance when he first stepped onto the field, he would be even more arrogant than Li Chen.

[Familiar, I really recognize this, it's C's classic tone.]

To be fair, C wasn't lying. He might lose in ranked games if he encounters AFK or trolls, but he won't lose in tournaments.

[It wasn't arduous, but unfortunately, we haven't seen C burn into relics yet.]

[Do I even need to watch EDG's matches? I'll wake up to another resounding victory!]

[He's not the same player in a regular season game. BO5 and BO3 are completely different games. RNG will show him what true skill is.]

[Hey upstairs, take down that C-shaped profile picture from your homepage. Make your cross-dressing more convincing.]

"So, Clearlove, what are your thoughts on the upcoming playoffs? Do you have any goals?" Yu Shuang turned the conversation to Clearlove, wanting to calm things down first.

The factory manager glanced at Li Chen, noticing the other man's winking and gesturing, then steeled himself, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm already studying MSI's competitors."

oh oh!

The factory manager is awesome!

The venue erupted in chaos. They were all too familiar with that phrase. The factory manager hadn't uttered any witty remarks all year, and they had assumed he'd changed his ways, but it turned out he was holding back something big.

Yu Shuang was also taken aback for a moment, but this pace shouldn't affect her, so she wasn't too worried.

The next question was also for Li Chen. Yu Shuang mustered her courage and asked, "God_C, many people online are saying that you are currently the most dominant top laner in the LPL. What's your opinion on that?"

Li Chen merely smiled dismissively at the question, and before he even spoke, his air of pretentious arrogance about taking out a loan was already unmistakable.

OK, I know what he's talking about. He's the best in the world, right? I can tolerate it for now.

To paraphrase C, he could keep hyping up the world until November.

I don't disagree that C is the best top laner in the LPL right now, but to be the best top laner in the world, you still need to win a championship.

[C says: Yes, yes, let me brag a little first!]

Li Chen couldn't see the comments, but he could imagine that his fans would predict his moves, so he planned to do something even bigger: "I remember before I even played in a match, I said that I was the best top laner in the world, but no one believed me at that time."

Today marks the end of the Spring Split regular season. Many may think I'm currently the best top laner in the LPL, but I want to say that the player standing before you now is neither the best top laner in the LPL, nor the best top laner in the world.

At this point, Li Chen paused slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I believe I am now the undisputed greatest top laner of all time. If top laners from other regions don't agree, then bring your teams to MSI and face me. I'll show you that this childish game is over!"

silence!

The entire venue fell silent!

Even the fans who knew Li Chen was going to show off were dumbfounded at this moment.

This is an overstatement; they really can't cover it up anymore.

But the next second, someone in the audience shouted, "C out! A Grand Slam in a year! Prove yourself!"

"That's right, a Grand Slam in one year, proving himself!"

"Winning the championship at the Bird's Nest, I only acknowledge you as the best in history!"

"I believe in you, let's keep going until we win every game!"

The atmosphere at the meeting is always more motivating. At this point, everyone forgets everything else and just gets into the group and starts chatting.

As for when Li Chen turns out to be a traitor, it's not too late to make a righteous break then.

At the same time, someone backstage observing the audience popularity index suddenly shouted, "It's exploded! It's exploded! The popularity index has exploded! The highest popularity index in the history of the regular season! It's even higher than the popularity of EDG vs. RNG!"

The person in charge of Tencent looked at Li Chen, who was bragging on stage, with admiration in his eyes: "Why aren't there more players like this? They can generate buzz and topics on their own. If there were more players like this, the popularity of the competition would have skyrocketed long ago."

"Have someone make arrangements quickly. Increase the publicity for the playoffs and continue to allocate publicity resources to him. Maximize his value. If he can really win the MSI, then promote him."

For Tencent Esports, whether a player is hyped up or not is completely unimportant. As long as you don't have any major character flaws, have excellent skills, and can bring popularity to the event, then you can promote them.

Chinese players like Li Chen, who bring their own buzz, possess solid skills, have no scandals, and are incredibly good-looking, are treasures that cannot be abandoned.
