Chapter 182: Who in the world doesn't know you! Returning home in glory! [Seeking monthly...]

"Hmm, okay, got it, Manager, I'm almost home too..."

Just off the plane, Ye Bo, who was taking a taxi toward home, hung up the phone.

"What's wrong, did Manager Ming arrange work for you again?" Ye Ying turned her head and asked.

"No, it's just telling me about the streaming contract matters~" Ye Bo looked at the familiar city scenery outside the window, his tone light and airy.

"Then it seems like there are some interviews coming, and some documentary shots that need to be reshot... also, Boss Zhu told us he was really sorry he couldn't come to the celebration banquet last night."

The two elders couldn't understand the long string of things.

Ye Xiong, on the other hand, said faintly and seemingly casually: "Don't work too hard."

Ye Bo felt something strange in his heart when he heard this voice.

Before this, his dad seemed to have never spoken to him in this tone.

He still remembered the noisy scene at home when he first said he wanted to drop out of school to practice his skills at home and play professionally in the future...

But Ye Bo just pretended to be casual and continued to look out the window: "It's not hard, anyway, I used to stream every day at home, and I can make money streaming during the off-season, it's quite good~"

"I heard from the Manager that my streaming contract is quite popular!"

"The lowest is five million, and the highest even reached nine million, and the duration is also..."

When Ye Bo said this number, the two elders, who had already been shocked, didn't have much surprise.

However, the taxi driver in the front row couldn't help but keep peeking at the rearview mirror.

Trying to see clearly the young man in the back, as well as the glittering gold trophy in his hands.

"Young man, are you that, that is that... that 'Grandpa' who plays games?!"

The taxi driver, who finally seemed to see some of his appearance clearly, suddenly widened his eyes.

"I... I should be, right?" Ye Bo pointed at himself.

"Oh, Master, drive carefully!"

The excited taxi driver suddenly turned his head sharply to look at the back row, giving Ye Bo a fright.

"Is it really you? I just thought you looked familiar, my son has been shouting 'Grandpa, Grandpa' in his room every day for the past month, and I remember seeing your autographed photo on his desk..."

"Wait, can you help me take a photo together? He really likes you, I'll waive the fare for this trip!"

Wuhu had the second-highest housing prices in the entire provincial capital, and Ye Bo's home was in a relatively remote urban area, at least two hundred yuan away from the airport.

The driver saw the appearance of the person in the photo that was placed next to the computer desk, which his son had to "worship" every time he played games to rank up, saying it was "inviting the gods" to remember.

That was the autographed photo his son had luckily grabbed during a post-match interaction in the playoffs after much difficulty.

Speaking of which, that young man was actually one of the people Ye Bo had "differentially treated" with a hug during the post-match segment.

"Of course, that's great!" Ye Bo smiled happily: "But no need to waive the fare, Master, you are also very tired from driving, just thank him for his support for me."

The driver was still a bit emotional: "Last time he wanted to go see your match, I didn't agree and we had a fight, but after he came back, seeing him really happy, I was happy too..."

Ye Mom and Ye Dad stood by and listened to the two talking.

They realized that they seemed to have underestimated their son's current influence.

Shouldn't this kind of game match be a relatively niche competition?

An hour-long car ride.

Ye Bo finally saw the entrance of his residential area.

It had only been half a year since he returned, but Ye Bo suddenly had the feeling that several years had passed...

"Master, it's the stairs at the turn ahead!" Ye Bo just wanted to point in the direction.

But the other party said first: "Is it the stairs over there with a lot of people, right?"

Ye Bo looked closely and found that there was a crowd of people gathered downstairs at his home at this time.

Among them, many were familiar neighbors—————but clearly, they were all people attracted to watch the fun by the array of cameras that looked like a TV station interview.

To avoid trouble, Ye Bo got out of the car in advance and took several selfies with the driver at the corner.

"That, can you sign?" The driver hesitated, but thinking of his son, he still spoke with some embarrassment.

"... How about a video!" Ye Bo also seemed a bit embarrassed and said: "I can cheer for him."

Those autographed photos of Ye Bo were all signed by someone else on behalf of the club.

His handwriting was really not very good, and the club was afraid that signing them would affect his image.

Ye Bo decided that he must practice his signature when he went back, preferably a simpler design...

"Really, can I?"

The driver clearly didn't expect it could be like this, and quickly dialed a video call.

The call connected, and a slightly impatient voice popped out from the other end: "What's wrong?"

"Ah Wei! Look who this is!"

Ye Bo's face appeared on the screen: "Hi, hello!"

"Who... holy crap???" The camera on the opposite side suddenly flew up.

"Master Ye!!!"

Ye Bo had a simple exchange with the other party.

It was mainly thanking him for his love and support, but just this was enough to make the other party excited.

"Hmm, I will continue to work hard next year, you have to work hard too!" Ye Bo said full of energy: "I heard from your dad that the school you want to get into is great, you are much better at studying than me, we all have to work hard!"

"Definitely work hard!! I hope that when Master Ye you win the next championship, I can also get into that school!"

The face of the young man on the opposite side seemed never to have been as excited and full of motivation as it was at this moment.

Hanging up the phone, although the driver tried his best to block and defend——————fortunately, Ye Bo fully exerted his predictive strength as a championship mid-laner, and had secretly taken a photo of the payment code before getting out of the car, forcibly going around the back to pay.

It could only be said that it was worthy of being a strong attack that even GEN's turtle formation couldn't defend against!

"Thank you, thank you," the driver said with some surging emotions, very sincerely: "You are a very good idol, he didn't like the wrong person."

"No, I'm not any idol, I'm just an e-sports player." Ye Bo smiled foolishly and waved his hand.

"But thank you for his love!"

Ye Dad and Ye Mom stood by and watched Ye Bo's entire exchange quietly, and the two also looked at each other and smiled from time to time.

They could clearly feel that Ye Bo seemed to have changed a lot in half a year, but it seemed that many things hadn't changed.

Saying goodbye to this short interlude, the three walked toward the stairs.

Soon, neighbors watching the fun discovered the three walking over.

"Oh, the Ye family is back!"

The reporters waiting downstairs immediately turned their heads sharply.

After discovering that it was indeed that face, they instantly changed from exhaustion to a smiling face and greeted them, the microphone in their hands hanging with the "Wuhu TV Station" tag.

"It really is here to find us..." Ye Xiong, who had never seen this array, couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Hey, you don't understand! What is this~" Ye Ying almost stood with her hands on her hips: "I remember when he won the championship last year, he was even interviewed by CCTV and People's Daily!"

In fact, although from the perspective of perception, the e-sports industry has only gradually been washed of its stigma in recent years.

But in fact, as early as 2005, the first person in Chinese e-sports, Sky, had already appeared in official media like People's Daily, and even served as the first e-sports Olympic torchbearer in 2008.

Including the three championship records in the League world in 2018, 2019, and 2021, all received various official celebrations, and the treatment was quite significant.

This point is of course understandable.

After all, no matter how much is said, as long as there are enough people who like and love this project... even if XXX doesn't like it, who is XXX?

And the local TV station in Wuhu naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity——————this is a god-given opportunity for the development of the local e-sports industry!

The number of e-sports users in China has reached as high as 490 million, and the industry scale has long exceeded 100 billion. I don't know how many cities want to come and eat this piece of cake!

But this field has always been divided by places like Wuhan, Shanghai, and Chengdu. Xi'an even directly provided land and money to build an LOL home court, which shows its determination.

This is why, in fact, even if one wins a bronze medal or third place, one might be welcomed by banners from the villagers...

Not to mention that this is the most watched championship!

Seeing the three return together, the reporter keenly sensed that the "family" of this champion might be a good entry point for the topic, grasped this picture downstairs, and directly conducted a simple interview first.

The neighbors were watching from the sidelines, discussing chattering.

"Wow, Little Ye has grown so big? I feel like he was so small when I saw him before, it seems like I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Because I heard he was holed up at home playing games and training every day before!"

"This array is so big, it's too exaggerated, isn't it just playing a game, can playing a game be a righteous path... By the way, how much money do you think he can make?"

"Oh! Then you really don't say, I brushed the video yesterday and saw online that the Ye family's son is very awesome now, saying that dozens of teams are grabbing him, tens of millions a year!!"

"Tens of millions? Why did I hear it was over a hundred million! Playing games is really making money now!"

"I'm going, really or fake..."

"Don't say it, Little Ye actually looks quite talented, my daughter seems to be about the same age as him..."

The interview lasted until the afternoon.

After it ended, almost all the neighbors who had had some contact before took turns coming to the door to congratulate him.

The Ye family was not a stranger in the residential area, everyone knew that the old Ye family had a son with an outgoing personality who could talk to anyone, and they had all watched him grow up.

It was just that later, hearing that he dropped out of school and holed up at home, they all sighed privately...

But today.

The old and dilapidated threshold of the Ye family seemed to be bearing a weight that hadn't been there in the past twenty-plus years combined.

Ye Bo, who had finished his busy work, finally had time to rest: "It's still comfortable at home~~"

"Hey, no, Mom, why did my treadmill become a clothes rack?!"

"That was originally bought for you to run, your dad and I don't use it," Ye Ying said with a smile: "Wait, I'll go cook first."

"Order takeout, I'm tired all day today, I still have to go get the streaming stuff later."

Ye Bo's streaming matters hadn't been fully finalized yet.

In fact, there were only three streaming platforms with strength outside, Yu, Hu, and B, and the prices offered by the three were different, and each had its own characteristics.

Douyu's contract was more demanding on "revenue flow"———to put it bluntly, it was to have the streamer "cheat gifts" more.

Huya's contract was more demanding on "viewing duration"———to put it bluntly, it was to stream as much as possible.

As for Bilibili, it was relatively Buddhist————according to the unnamed Mr. Ming, it was because the boss of Bilibili was very fond of Ye Bo and was willing to lower the requirements in all aspects.

Ye Bo actually preferred Bilibili as his first choice.

After all, this was where he started streaming, the environment was familiar, and there were quite a few familiar people.

Finally, several conditions he cared about were confirmed.

Although the signing fee was slightly lower than Yu and Hu, there were almost no restrictions.

Ye Bo preferred this feeling of free streaming, just like he was before, not like punching a clock at work.

"I'm going back to my room first, call me when the takeout arrives!"

Sending the confirmation information to Ming Kai, Ye Bo returned to his room.

Looking at this room that he hadn't returned to for half a year, but was still spotless, even the bedding looked like it had been changed recently.

Ye Bo also felt a bit warm in his heart.

In terms of time, his dad and mom had arrived abroad at least a week ago, and had been in the same territory as Ye Bo ever since.

That is to say, even if Ye Bo hadn't returned for half a year, his room should have always been cleaned and prepared by someone.

Lying on the soft quilt.

Ye Bo took out his phone comfortably.

These two days were really too busy, and his parents were by his side.

Plus, during the time Ye Bo slept, he was either training in the trial ground or training in the "pot"...

It made him have no time to scroll through his phone!

First, he replied in batches to a long string of 99+ unread messages, including other LPL players, elementary school classmates he hadn't contacted for more than ten years, childhood playmates he had a good relationship with before, and even some teachers who taught him...

The trouble of being popular is like this.

However, Ye Bo found that Lee Sang-hyeok had actually sent a message too!

It wasn't right after the finals ended, but several hours after that—————as if he had gone through a psychological struggle.

The content was just a simple congratulation.

Looking back at the last chat record between the two, it stopped at the end of the "Azir pushes sand soldiers. avi" video.

Ye Bo didn't know what to reply, after all, as the winner, replying to anything at this time seemed to have a sense of "mockery."

So he just replied with a meaningless cat meme.

And it is worth mentioning.

In the message list, there was no information from any other club personnel.

This is because of the strict 【Transfer Period Regulations】, before the transfer period opens, all private contact with players will be regarded as a serious violation.

Lightly, it's a fine and suspension, heavily, it's a lifetime ban!

The opening of the transfer period is generally one week after the S-Tournament ends, until after the annual ceremony, on the eve of the Spring Championship.

Ye Bo didn't have too many thoughts about his departure or stay next season for the time being.

Viper was already determined to leave, and it was heard that many strong teams in the LCK had ideas about him, he was an absolute hot commodity.

And this EDG team was destined not to retain the original lineup, and separation was inevitable.

But Ye Bo didn't know how many clubs were currently restless, frantically preparing ammunition everywhere... just waiting for the moment the horn of war sounded, to go out in full force!

The repercussions of EDG's second consecutive championship had just begun.

No one could imagine how terrifying the siphon effect would be as the first team in LPL history to win two consecutive championships.

One could say another "dark" word.

Precisely because of the experience of the LCK division.

Every helmsman of the LPL teams would definitely not hope or allow to see the birth of an "LPL division's SKT"...

It was conceivable.

This would definitely be the craziest transfer period in history!

Ye Bo shook his head and stopped thinking about these uncertain things.

He just wanted to let things take their course and believed there would be the best arrangement.

Instead of thinking about these things, it was better to practice the new version or watch some videos!

Opening Bilibili.

Perhaps because he would click in every time he saw it, the homepage once again pushed the collection of second-route clips with extreme precision.

The title itself was quite eye-catching: "Everyone Stand Up! Where the Sea Ends, the Sky Becomes the Shore; Climbing the Peak, I Am the Summit! The First Double Champion in History! A Panoramic View of the Carnival of All Living Beings!"

In less than a day, the number of views had exceeded a terrifying three million!

As soon as one came in, it was the old face DYS.

"I measure! Zeka was solo-killed again! Ye Wen also solo-killed at level 3 in the finals!!" Sun Yalong was tearing his throat desperately, the top of his head reflecting a dazzling light.

"Zeka? Pika!!!" After letting out a strange cry, Xika chuckled slyly: "Professional commentators are those who dare to make professional judgments! Just watch, this solo kill is definitely just the beginning!"

Kid Xiaohai Xiaohai Youshen was nervous and said: "But this wave is actually very dangerous, this follow-flash E reaction is really fast, too daring to operate..."

However, five minutes later, a pair of holey shoes suddenly flew over the Dragon Palace!

"Holy!!! Crap!!!"

"Grandpa!!!!!"

Kid Xiaohai Xiaohai Youshen, who slid off the e-sports chair in excitement, was nowhere to be seen, but one could still hear his throat being shouted out, and the red flush that suddenly erupted on his round face that climbed up later made one seriously suspect he was imitating the godhead.

"Flying! Thunder! God! Mom, it's Flying Thunder God!!"

"Too like! TheShy! This is TheShy's Flying Thunder God back then! Someone actually used it again, it's really too like, this is Ye Wen!"

Xika, who was just about to jump up, was hit by the holey shoes with a pickled cabbage smell that fell from the sky.

Suddenly, he was angry and deliberately asked him: "Where is it like?"

Kid Xiaohai Xiaohai Youshen choked for a moment, but still unconvinced and stubborn: "If TheShy didn't have this move, could it be called 'Flying Thunder God'!"

Sun Yalong said with a smile: "To be honest, this is definitely Ye Wen's scientific research operation, he must be the first one to use it like this!"

"I'm an old Akali player, Akali shouldn't be able to Q in the air in this version, it must be some other operation of his, it has nothing to do with the previous operation~"

Kid Xiaohai Xiaohai Youshen didn't make a sound, but his mouth shape was clearly still muttering something incomprehensible.

Immediately after, it was the scene of Zeka being solo-killed three times in a row in the first game.

The appearance of each wave made the atmosphere overflowing the screen even more intense.

"It's really too exaggerated, how can someone treat the opposing mid-laner like a pig in the S-finals~" Xika shook his head and suddenly thought of something.

"Turtle, wait a minute! Then Cream might become the most mysterious mid-laner in LPL! The only one who hasn't been beaten out of a matchup gap by Ye Wen, no one knows where his upper limit is!"

Sun Yalong heard that the other party was stringing, and also followed: "If you want to talk about the upper limit, it really has to be our Top Esports, the eternal upper limit championship team! Suggest that TES buy Cream next season and add the upper limit!"

Kid Xiaohai Xiaohai Youshen muttered on the side: "That's not as good as buying Rookie, this time the upper limit lost to Vietnam, who knows who the lower limit can lose to..."

The barrage was full of 【Filial Piety】, and it seemed that some people were really discussing Cream's strength.

Don't say, Ye Bo was really curious about this mid-laner he hadn't been able to play against.

The screen shifted to the "Peak of the Forbidden City" duel in the second game.

All the second-route streams were unusually similar, all "Holy crap, holy crap!", "Oh my god!", "Wow, punishment!", "Holy crab!"... and other unbelievable scenes that were shocking!

Even Ye Bo himself, seeing that scene again, felt his blood boil instantly.

That final confrontation, even if the operation didn't look difficult, could actually be called his most thrilling wave.

Coming to the third game.

The screen changed to the big streamer Doinb, looking at the Bard whose rhythm was exploding in front, his heart was anxious.

"Mom, you can't let this Bard start the rhythm like this, you have to keep an eye on him..."

He and BeryL actually didn't have any personal grudges.

It was mainly because during the transfer period last year, his big mouth couldn't help but say a word about BeryL, saying that the person "was ruined by mobile games, didn't work hard, and now can't even find a job..."

As a result, when he turned his head and looked, the person had already reached the finals!

If DRX won the championship, he wouldn't even have to think about it, the words he said before would definitely have to be a boomerang!

It wasn't until the mid-game that Bard started to lose his rhythm, and the jungler was also shopping, that he became excited again.

"Mom, this jungler, how can he follow the support, hey, even the stupidest jungler should know to follow the mid-laner! Right!"

"No, I'm really not implying EDG's Fiddlesticks playstyle, the streamer is very familiar with it! The streamer played like this back then!"

"What? Who is stronger, the streamer or Ye Wen, oh brother, don't ask this kind of question, Ye Wen is definitely much stronger, the streamer is old, if it were back in 2019..."

The screen cut sharply to the final counterattack.

No one would have thought that in such a desperate situation, at a moment when everyone seemed to have seen the ending.

It could actually be found by the other party under the curtain of the sky, finding a fleeting gap.

"Siba Deft!" Imp looked at the Ezreal's blind big move hitting and killing Nocturne, shouting with full emotion.

"Siba, what is the barrage saying! This big move has no technical content, the streamer tells you! Deft can hit it, how could I not hit it!"

"Oh, it's just this step away, don't struggle, Deft!"

Imp is actually a good brother with Deft, but he is teased by the barrage every day as "not as good as Deft," which makes him very anxious.

And when the DRX group arrived before the fountain, just when everyone felt that the overall situation was set————the Fiddlesticks in the God's perspective had already spread its arms on the dark stairs!

"It's coming!!!"

Imp imitated Fiddlesticks spreading its arms with an extremely intense reaction, watching a big move W-flash sit to death four people.

"Deft really can't do it!" Imp leaned over and lit a mosquito coil outside the camera, his expression instantly becoming extremely arrogant, and his mouth was a bit unclear: "Zeber, change the streamer, definitely can react!"

The screen cut again.

Uzi, who also had quite a few ties with Deft, also instantly raised his small fist stone, almost throwing away his pink headphones, his face full of excitement as if he thought he was about to lift the trophy.

"Beautiful, this mid-laner is too strong!"

"Sigh, the streamer admits it, Deft is also okay, this performance is really good this time!" Uzi said and even helped him speak.

"As an AD player, I can actually empathize, to be honest, not many ADCs can accept a support like BeryL, and can still play like this, if the streamer went up and met a support like BeryL, he would definitely turn red-hot in one game!"

"Alright, the streamer is also preparing to lift the cup~~"

As long as he is not on the field, Uzi is like a ripe boy, joking about himself crazily without caring.

But what really has the most "program effect" is the final LCK commentary desk.

The LCK official commentary desk was screaming crazily one moment, and the next moment it instantly reversed two levels, screaming and shouting with emotional breakdown!

A scene of outrageous ghost screaming that is enough to be recorded in history and passed down as a classic is staged on the spot.

Ye Bo continued to scroll through other videos, all kinds of second-creations couldn't be finished, the heat was terrifyingly high!

Moreover, it seems that as long as the title adds the two characters "EDG" and "YE," even if it is just hard-added, the traffic will be terrifyingly high, all starting from one million views.

A real traffic password!

Some edge-ball streamers discovered this secret, and the video titles all had to be inexplicably hard-carried: "Today Y is black silk JK senior, oh E"...

As for serious videos like:

"Under Ye Wen, everyone is equal————YE 2022 Global Finals Solo Kill Highlights Collection!"

"2022 Global Finals Solo Kill Collection (Extremely high Ye content)"

"2022 Global Finals Finals Player Data Chart (Congratulations EDG!)"

"12th S-Tournament Grand Inventory! Who is the most dominant player and team in history, SSW? IG? EDG? SKT? Data speaks!"

All kinds of videos couldn't do without the appearance of EDG and YE characters, and the appearance rate was ridiculous.

The comments below the video were also incredibly lively.

【15 games, 24 solo kills? Ah???】

【Only 24 times? I feel like it's definitely underestimated! For example, that wave of Sylas 1v3 counter-kill wasn't counted, right?! On average, it's less than twice per game, and even the final game killed 5 times!】

【It's mainly because that B turtle Chovy lowered the data, otherwise it would easily break three!】

【No, what is this, are everyone else's data balloon needles?】

【What is a circular mid-laner? Master Ye is simply the perfect god! I would like to call it: The perfect Circle God!】

【I can only say that data can't explain everything, for example, Sheng Qiang Ge's role can't be explained by data... but if it's this kind of data, it's indeed invincible】

【No, are there any brothers who can make Master Ye's "Career Operation Highlights" and "Map Highlights", I'll give a monthly ticket and two coins!】

In these second-creation shots, Ye Bo reviewed his experiences along the way.

His heart was full of emotion and satisfaction.

He only felt that all the efforts he had made seemed very worthwhile.

And now Ye Bo was also suddenly looking forward to how this "Championship Documentary" would be presented...

And it was also that night.

Bilibili's official Weibo released several announcements in a row, officially announcing the streaming platform that signed YE!

It dominated the top of the Weibo hot search the moment it was released!

Inside the app, it was paved with the most grand array that could be imagined, almost everywhere one could see push pop-ups and big screens, warming up for the upcoming debut.

The entire League circle was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.

At this moment.

Only EDG boss Edward Zhu, who was sitting in the Shanghai office, looked at the three phones that had been blown up in front of him, holding his head with a headache...
