Chapter 614: 10 million!

Through Wang Liangyi's account, the VG members listened to Zz1tai's story and sighed incessantly.

As for how the inexplicably added substitute Easyhoon feels, actually there's not much thought; Easyhoon himself has a mild temperament, and besides, he knows he's old and can't play for many more years, so all his hopes are now pinned on this year's global finals. From this perspective, having a substitute is a good thing, after all, more people mean more strength. Therefore, regarding Zz1tai joining the team, Easyhoon is actually supportive.

Xiao Duan then sincerely exclaimed:

"Indeed, playing well is not as good as..."

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zz1tai's figure appearing at the training room door; Xiao Duan immediately swallowed the words on his lips, but raised his hand and shouted:

"Come on, come on, Zhihao Ge, I've picked out a good spot for you!"

Zz1tai nodded and bowed slightly, walking over cautiously.

"No... no need for this, I can sit anywhere casually, hehehe..."

But Xiao Duan came over and forcibly pulled him over, acting all familiar, pressing Zz1tai's shoulders down to sit:

"Oh, don't be embarrassed, once you're here you're family. But let me tell you, the first thing after joining the team is not to worry about anything else; first go ask Long Ge for a set of notes to study carefully, you must deeply learn our Jiao Shen's new-era characteristic tactical ideas..."

With a slap, Xiao Duan got hit on the head.

The two turned around and saw Liang Yan standing behind them with a face of both laughter and tears.

Xiao Duan gave a hehe and slipped away.

Liang Yan smiled at Zz1tai: "Don't listen to that guy; our team doesn't have all those formalities, just relax."

He followed the shift in tone, his expression turning slightly serious:

"However, Xiao Duan's suggestion is still worth listening to; don't rush into training, go ask Long Ge for a set of notes, read them carefully to get a rough idea of our team's style, so you can better fit into our system..."

Zz1tai listened, feeling puzzled at times, but still obediently walked up to Zhu Xiaolong and honestly, politely reached out for the guide.

Zhu Xiaolong looked up, smiled at him, then lowered his head to continue writing and drawing in the new notebook.

"I'm just getting ready; wait a moment, I'll summarize the key points for you..."

Zz1tai then stood to the side watching.

After a while, he suddenly realized——

Wait a minute, the team's atmosphere…… it feels like Jiao Shen is the coach, while the actual coach Zhu Xiaolong looks more like an assistant?!

!!!

Is this the real reason VG suddenly became so strong?

Zz1tai secretly felt uneasy about the situation he had noticed.

……

At noon, VG's official Weibo posted an announcement:

【VG e-sports club personnel change announcement

【After friendly consultation with Snake e-sports club, effective immediately, the original Snake mid laner Liu Zhihao (ID: Zz1tai) officially joins VG's LoL division on loan, to compete with the team in the 2017 LPL Summer Season.

【Zz1tai, as an active LPL player ranked among the top three in seniority, a veteran of sorts, having played for IG for many years, previously serving as mid laner and top laner, with a deep champion pool and rich match experience, his addition will give VG more tactical options.

【Welcome Zz1tai to the VG family. Hope he can quickly integrate into the team and, together with us, achieve even greater results in the summer season.

【VG LoL division

【June 6, 2017

The comment section exploded instantly; besides VG's own teammates and veteran IG players coming to send blessings, numerous big names from the scene also appeared:

PDD, who is about to get abs: 【What?!】

Commentator Guan Zeyuan: 【Congratulations on the form, also doing well (dog head)(dog head)】

Deyunse Sun Yeyou: 【Holy crap, clung to Jiao Shen's thigh, awesome!】

Snake e-sports club: 【Best wishes, good luck for the new season】

Some Fish Zhou Shuyi: 【Husband still missing an accessory? Can I add one?】

Commentator Miller: 【wc, attitude! This isn't real, right?!】

Netizen:

【Jiao Shen: Huh? I can still hook?】

【Oh no, Jiao Shen really turned into a human hook hahaha】

【I announce, starting today VG e-sports club is officially renamed the first division of Snake club!】

【Did I misremember? Zz1tai signed a one-year contract with Snake, so how did he end up at VG?】

【Snake got relegated, VG scouted someone from the lower league, immense merit!】

【My irresponsible speculation: Principal Wang helped the Crown Prince pull the strings, VG provided the money, Snake took the opportunity to profit and then fled】

【Alas, envy can't be helped; life's ups and downs are just like this—yesterday still struggling in the relegation mire, today directly boarding the S7 championship favorite's ship, this is fate!】

【To be fair, Zz1tai's luck is unmatched. The day after transferring to Snake, Sheng Qiang Ge and Shuijing Ge both left; after the spring season Snake got relegated. Then after being relegated, VG scooped him up—so is his luck good or bad?】

【Marquis: What? I got an extra substitute?】

【Happy for the substitute's attitude, yet worried for him; given VG's current level, he comes from a relegated team, pressure maxed out—just being able to play counts as a win.】

【Attitude! Play well in VG! Hang with Jiao Shen and you'll get a championship!】

【VG, let's go! Aim for the Bird's Nest championship!】

【Don't hype, don't hype, the patch hasn't updated yet; Riot has its eye on VG, possibly the summer season will get nerfed outright】

【Nerfed? Jiao Shen plays chicken dinner on stream and scares Riot into a cold sweat—does he still dare to nerf?】

【Can Jiao Shen wish me luck on the college entrance exam? sob sob sob】

Liang Yan, who had just left a congratulatory comment under his own team's official blog, casually scrolled the comment section and happened to see this comment that countless soon-to-be college-exam takers had liked; he directly screenshotted it and reposted it to his own Weibo, with the caption:

【Three years of last-hitting, now it's time to team fight.】

【Don't panic, don't be timid, you can carry!】

Fans about to take the college entrance exam teared up; the heat quickly went viral, and within less than half an hour, senior high fans pushed Liang Yan's Weibo to the top of the hot search list, likes rapidly surpassing 500k and heading straight for 1 million.

Immediately after, various major official media outlets reposted one after another.

Moreover, the documentary about the VG team filmed recently is being broadcast simultaneously on CCTV.

Now it really has a hint of the feeling that when the time comes, heaven and earth lend their strength together.

That evening, Liang Yan's Weibo follower count officially surpassed ten million.

Gao Jun, who was at the VG base, was overjoyed, his excited heart and trembling hand sent a WeChat message to the boss:

【Boss, Xiao Liang blew up! 10 million fans! 10 million holy cow!!!】

Lu Wenjun replied instantly:

【...... I saw it. But your opening line is not very auspicious, please recall it】
