Chapter 184: Growth and Separation, the Upcoming Transfer Period!

"I plan to design the recall action like this!"

"Ornn's big move effect is the best to do, hey Jie, you say, if you open the big move to hit your pig over, isn't it super handsome!"

"I don't care, anyway, I just want the model! I've already drawn the sketch, look!"

"Damn, the Manager will definitely beat you to death if he sees it."

The EDG five-man group gathered in the voice channel, chattering and talking with the designer team dispatched by Riot headquarters.

Everyone told their thoughts, and the designer asked them one by one.

"Player YE, really don't consider Sylas?" The designer couldn't help but promote it again.

"To tell you the truth, our team has a very interesting idea for Sylas, although the engineering volume is huge, I believe it is very likely to become one of the top-selling ones, always waiting for an opportunity..."

"And just like what was said just now, starting this year, the championship skin of FMVP will receive an extra 'Prestige' chroma, this is our first championship Prestige in history~"

This is also a piece of news that has not been announced to the public.

That is, starting from the S12 season, Riot will add an extra Prestige chroma for FMVP to highlight "personal honor" more, not just a title.

However, Ye Bo was only more determined when he heard this news.

"It doesn't matter."

"Sylas's skin... I'll strive to come and get it next year!"

The designer looked at the simultaneous interpretation on the computer and was stunned for two seconds before coming back to his senses.

The standard European and American surprise expression appeared on the video, feeling astonished by this "young and vigorous" remark.

However, when the designer looked at the boy in the camera, he didn't feel half a point of arrogance from those clear eyes.

As if, it was just simple and firm confidence.

"Alright, but your ideas for Seeing Akali are also very special, it can be seen that you really understand this hero..." The designer showed a meaningful smile.

After collecting the skin opinions, the designer team withdrew from the voice chat.

The EDG group continued to chat in the voice channel.

"I said Zhao Lijie, you stingy ghost, why did you only give Master Ye two Governors, the Manager went up with five!" Meiko teased.

"Who is Master Ye to me, Brother Shengqiang Ge only went up with one!" Jie Jie transferred the firepower.

"Hey, hey, hey, I just bought a house and my small treasury is a bit tight, I will definitely make it up to Master Ye when the bonus comes down, don't run away by then!"

Everyone talked about the interesting things they experienced in the past few days and discussed Ye Bo's streaming content just now.

The atmosphere was quite comfortable.

But when asking when Viper was going home and everyone gathering together, they suddenly talked about next season's affairs.

"How about it, Xian, have you talked about which team to go to?" Meiko asked pretending to be calm.

Viper didn't hide it from his brothers and said frankly: "There are quite a few choices, it should be between GEN, DK, and HLE... but with choices, I might prefer GEN."

"GEN has a greater influence in the LCK, and it might be easier to compete for the Asian Games quota, and the lineup is also good."

"I heard Ruler is coming to China, they are currently in urgent need of AD, so they pay more."

Viper only looks mature, but is actually a standard post-00s, and is currently at the age of rushing.

Therefore, although he already has two championships in his hands, he still has huge motivation, so the priority of lineup consideration must be relatively high.

Meiko gave a light hmm.

He has experienced quite a few AD teammates, but except for the "Succubus" Deft, the one he has the best relationship with is Viper—————after all, they are people who climbed to the peak together.

Unlike Viper, Meiko has no such obsession with this.

"Jie Jie and I should stay on the team, Coach Abu just found me, saying the boss will try his best to match the outside quotes for us."

What Ye Bo doesn't know is.

Just when he was streaming just now, the EDG interior had already undergone an intense discussion.

And Meiko seemed a bit hesitant.

But in the end, he still spoke: "It's Master Ye and Brother Shengqiang Ge, you two have to think clearly, especially Master Ye."

"As far as I know, our club's economic situation this year is not very good, it's unlikely that we can offer high prices to all of us... and for the AD position, we might have to bring up a cheap rookie from the second team."

"Aren't we champions?" Ye Bo asked in confusion: "Will we still be short of money after winning the championship?"

"I don't understand business matters, although the influence of e-sports clubs is not small, the profitability has always been very worrying, and we are the only one that doesn't lose money in the entire LPL... and this time I heard that Boss Zhu's family had some trouble."

Ye Bo didn't know anything about business matters and didn't ask any further.

Li Xuanjun, on the other hand, said comfortably and indifferently: "It doesn't matter, at worst I'll rest for a year next year, give up the position for the newcomers, I've played for so many years, so tired."

"Ah??? Brother Shengqiang Ge, are you going to retire!" Ye Bo widened his eyes.

As for the relationship, with Ye Bo's outgoing personality, he got along quite harmoniously with everyone.

Relatively speaking, he and Jie Jie are about the same age and have more common topics, and they are mid-jungle positions, so they have more daily contact.

But if it's about the relationship between teammates—————undoubtedly, Brother Shengqiang Ge, his "roommate" for half a year, is definitely the most intense.

"How is that possible!" Li Xuanjun explained quickly, but didn't explain more.

Li Xuanjun is a sensible person.

Just hearing the news that Meiko revealed unintentionally, he already understood some things.

Just as Meiko said, since the financial situation is not optimistic this year—————and Li Xuanjun knows very well that his "positioning" is a very awkward existence.

In terms of honor, he is the only domestic championship top-laner in the LPL, and even the only two-time championship top-laner!

No matter how you talk about it, he should, and must, deserve the top salary.

But in terms of performance... Li Xuanjun knows very well that his cost-effectiveness for taking the top salary is actually not high.

And since Abu has already found Meiko to talk about renewal, but hasn't come to find him, it actually already explains something.

Li Xuanjun is currently at the end of his career and has injuries.

He has to consider more for himself.

Ye Bo didn't think so much, just breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Oh my god, you scared me to death."

"Then you can rest assured, Brother Shengqiang Ge, you are undoubtedly the number one domestic top-laner in history! You can definitely find a job easily!"

Li Xuanjun laughed dumbly, but his heart was warm.

As everyone knows, Ye Bo's comfort technique is very poor.

And this recognition expressed is clearly from the bottom of his heart, and of course, it is also the best recognition for him.

No matter what outsiders say, the recognition of teammates is more important to him.

"Master Ye should think more about himself, your career has just begun, if our team next year..."

Li Xuanjun stopped at the point.

Ye Bo is not a fool, and gave a light hmm.

He knew what the other party meant, this is that he probably won't stay at EDG.

And in this way, even if he is willing to lower his salary to stay, the original team of EDG will only have Jie Jie and Meiko left.

"Hey, don't talk about it, don't talk about it."

"This is not life and death, why be so sentimental, it's just a transfer!"

Ye Bo saw that everyone was a bit silent and actively enlivened the atmosphere.

"Viper brother returned to the country, does it mean we are no longer good brothers, maybe in two years the club will have money again, and buy the five of us back~~~"

"Yeah, anyway, we are all in Shanghai, come over to visit at any time."

"Master Ye can visit, but Qiang Ge is not allowed! I will seriously suspect that you are here for a free meal!"

"It's okay, maybe when Master Ye and I leave, the chef team will leave too, and you will have to eat back in the cafeteria by then~"

Before parting, everyone agreed to gather again before Viper left.

Closing the screen, Ye Bo also began to think about his future.

The grand occasion of today's streaming room, as well as those IDs he also roughly knows, Ye Bo knows he shouldn't lack work...

The phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID shows 【7777777】

"Hey! Manager, you haven't slept so late."

Ming Kai, who deliberately waited for Ye Bo to finish streaming before looking for him, heard the cheerful voice in the receiver, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

He really likes this boy... and precisely because of this, he did what he just did.

"Haven't slept yet? Knew you slept at 12 o'clock sharp."

"Want to chat with you about next season."

Ye Bo could probably guess the other party's purpose: "Hmm, go ahead."

"It's like this, we have already prepared to go through the renewal process internally just now, the current decision is..."

Ming Kai came up and poured out the plan discussed by the club half an hour ago, that is, during Ye Bo's streaming.

Without half a point of concealment.

Basically, it was the situation Meiko just said, clearly even if he held back and didn't say it just now, Ming Kai wouldn't hide it.

The general result is——————

Seek the opinions of Meiko and Jie Jie, let them choose freely whether to go out and contact other teams.

If they don't leave, then EDG will try its best to match their standard top-salary market price.

Just from the scene of the stream just now, Edward Zhu once again witnessed the determination of all other teams.

He knows very well that with the funds he has now, it is absolutely impossible to keep everyone!

Therefore, letting Brother Shengqiang Ge go and bringing up a new AD from the second team to save money is the foundation that must be done.

Just because, if you keep the whole team at the standard market price.

EDG's total salary must exceed 100 million!

"This season, the League has already started to implement the 'Salary Cap' system, everyone is different, all are 'Personalized'."

Ming Kai explained patiently to Ye Bo.

"Among them, the core proportion is the 'World-class Tournament' champion of this year, that is, MSI and S-Tournament champion players, will be rated as S-level, and on this basis, evaluate according to the player's actual performance."

"So, our team's top salary is very exaggerated, if all renewed, even if other teams don't fight a price war, it will be a very terrifying number, and it is very likely that we will have to pay luxury tax..."

"And your evaluation result is higher than the four of them, even much higher... even if you only have one championship."

Ming Kai's words are not false, and the more detailed things were not explained in detail.

Just directly reported several exaggerated numbers.

Ye Bo asked some questions in his heart.

Ming Kai on the opposite side was silent for a moment and then shook his head and laughed out loud.

"I knew you kid would say that, so I hurried to persuade you, absolutely don't."

"First of all, even if you take a pay cut to stay, it's very difficult for us to find an AD to piece together a championship lineup... The most important thing is, it's unfair to Xuanjun, Tian Ye, and Jie Jie if you do this, if you take a pay cut, they also have to take a pay cut, otherwise we will have to pay sky-high luxury tax."

"Xuanjun doesn't have a few years of career left, we let him go, actually it's because we don't want him to be delayed, he deserves a better contract."

Ye Bo only knew that he was indeed a bit of a white paper in terms of business after listening.

Many things are not as simple as he thought.

"So what does the club mean now..." Ye Bo asked.

Ming Kai also answered simply and directly, his voice gentle: "The club's meaning is very simple, let you go out and contact other teams first, if you find a lineup you like, then join with peace of mind."

"Even if you leave, EDG will always be your home, I promise."

"If you didn't find a suitable team outside..." Ming Kai gave a fake smile: "But that's almost impossible, because all teams, no one can refuse your joining."

"But if it really happens, then come back, Boss Zhu said, he will try his best to leave a contract for you."

In fact, reality is not as smooth as Ming Kai expressed.

Because this is clearly not the choice that best serves EDG's interests——————it can even be said that it is a choice that is "very losing" for EDG.

Anyone knows that if only the jungle-support duo is left in the original lineup, the results next year are simply unknown, and it is highly likely that it is still a bad unknown.

But EDG is still willing to give the jungle-support duo top salary.

Just because these are two team veterans, and the jungle-support duo also chose to stay almost without any hesitation after hearing this decision.

As for Ye Bo, that is the real key.

In fact, the most should be the idea at the beginning————of course, it is to try his best to keep Ye Bo.

Edward Zhu naturally knows very well that as long as Ye Bo can be kept!

Even if EDG's results fall off a cliff next year.

Even if the new top-laner and AD are all little transparents that no one cares about.

As long as Ye Bo is there, next year's EDG will definitely still be the most popular traffic team!

But when Edward Zhu found Ming Kai to talk about this, Ming Kai immediately gave a firm opinion.

"Boss, I really don't think this is a good idea."

"We all see Ye Bo's talent, his future is unimaginable, next year is his most critical year!"

"Even if he goes to a new team, he still carries our EDG brand, everyone sees him and will still say 'Icelander' 'Golden Mountain Man', everyone knows that is our EDG person!"

"Even if, at a huge cost, keep him for a year, what does that bring? His career's ups and downs, then what about the year after?"

"If our team really has difficulties now and can't give him the best lineup, let's let go..."

Edward Zhu's feelings for Ming Kai are by no means simple employee feelings.

In Edward Zhu's original words: EDG is the team he founded for Ming Kai.

This is also why Ming Kai is the first player in the world to hold club shares, even earlier than Faker and T1.

This is also why Ming Kai's words have a great touch and influence on him.

Moreover, Ming Kai's words are indeed reasonable.

Even if they really spend all costs to keep Ye Bo, risking a year of "Waterloo," it's just this year.

Next year, the year after, the year after that, it's hard to say.

Since the current situation is not optimistic, it is better to let Ye Bo go out and explore the world, and preserve this precious emotion.

If in the future, when conditions permit, welcoming him back who might be "full of honors," wouldn't it be a better result?

Edward Zhu soon figured it out.

Of course, Ming Kai wouldn't go and tell Ye Bo these things.

But Ye Bo naturally knows in his heart that this is definitely not a good decision for EDG.

"I know, Manager." Ye Bo said softly.

Ming Kai on the other side showed a gratified expression: "Hmm, don't resist going to contact, we will release the news tomorrow, the transfer period will open in a few days, you will be very busy by then."

"Still that sentence, no matter where, EDG will always be your home."

"Later, we have to come and reshoot the documentary fragments, then everyone will gather well, and also send off Xian..."

"Hmm."

Hung up the phone.

Ye Bo looked at the wall in front of him and suddenly felt a sense of "growth" inexplicably.

Don't look at him chatting in the voice channel just now, still comforting everyone with "it's not life and death, it's just a transfer~"

But for Ye Bo, EDG is after all the place where he debuted, and the place where he won his first meaningful championship, and his first formal teammates.

But he also knows now that everyone has many problems to consider in reality.

He understands the truth.

But thinking about this, it's still a bit depressed.

Ye Bo suddenly wanted to find someone to chat with.

So, he entered the pot.

This time the place of appearance is the jungle camp, and the place of each transmission is also where the hero is located.

Seeing Akali is sitting on the head of the Crimson Tree Monster at this time, lightly tapping her little legs, not knowing what she is thinking—————it's just that her eyes clearly brightened when she saw Ye Bo appear.

Her tone sounded cold as usual: "You're here, don't you need to train today?"

"I'll go later!"

Ye Bo seemed to be in a better mood suddenly, turning on the chatterbox mode to chat with the other party: "By the way, do you know the skin design I thought of for you, the clothes are what I imagined, I don't know what the result will be when he draws it, the weapon..."

Seeing Akali supported her chin with one hand, didn't make a sound, just watched the other party nag quietly.

Even if, she actually already "heard" the scene of the other party communicating with the designer just now.

But she still listened quietly again.

"How is it! Do you like it?" Ye Bo shook his head smugly, almost standing with his hands on his hips.

"Like." A concise and clear voice answered.

"Hehe, I'm a bit looking forward to the finished product, just hope this designer doesn't ruin it for me..."

Seeing Akali still didn't speak.

She just jumped down from the head of the Crimson Tree Monster and walked over, her posture light, and she didn't know where she got a bowl of ramen, handing it over.

"When you are in a bad mood, have a bowl of ramen..."

"Okay," Ye Bo took it and sent it to his mouth without thinking.

"When I finish killing people, my mood is also bad, eat a bowl of ramen, and my mood is better."

"..."

Ye Bo's slurping of noodles stuck in mid-air, and he said unclearly: "This is a #% cold joke @ right."

"If you say it is, then it is."

The two walked to the cliff of the Dragon Pit.

Seeing Akali jumped onto the cliff wall with a light leap, but the angle was clearly a bit strange... Ye Bo just raised his head to follow the figure, and hurriedly turned his head to look away!

And Seeing Akali looked down at Ye Bo who was still stuck below, just with a helpless expression.

"You've learned from me for so long, you are so stupid... and this is your world, you just jump."

Hearing this, Ye Bo jumped up with force, and actually "flew" onto the wall.

The two sat side by side on the edge of the cliff, looking at the Ocean Drake sleeping in the center of the Dragon Pit below.

"So, Seeing Akali, what do you think I should choose?"

Ye Bo still asked this question, although he didn't feel that the other party could give him any answer...

"I don't know," Seeing Akali shook her head as expected: "But I hope you haven't forgotten your original dream and goal."

She said this, and seemed to become a bit emotional, perhaps this was also what she was thinking about when she came in just now.

"I have a teacher in the Kinkou Order, she is not tall, she is a Yordle, but she is very knowledgeable and smart, and taught me a lot."

"Everyone thinks that I didn't take over my mother's responsibility of 'Fist of Shadow' is a wrong choice. Only she let me believe in myself and move toward my dream and goal."

"So I became Seeing Akali, and I have never regretted my choice."

"Toward the dream and goal, at least I am very happy every day."

"I hope you are the same."

Ye Bo listened to the other party's story and fell into thought.

His original dream and goal... what were they?

Silence lasted for a long time in the air.

Ye Bo, however, suddenly stood up abruptly.

"I'm going to train! Training is the most important thing!"

Seeing Akali looked up at him.

The cherry-blossom-colored eyes flickered like moonlight falling into a deep pool.

"By the way, when did I tell you I like being barefoot? It's very inconvenient to assassinate without shoes..."

"..." It's time! I'm really going to train! See you tomorrow!!"

The time Ye Bo left the pot was exactly twelve o'clock.

He felt that maybe he was thinking too much.

He was not strong enough, and there were still many things that could be improved.

His goal and dream had always been to become the most powerful person in the Summoner's Canyon, fighting and working hard for every championship, not anything else.

Casting aside distracting thoughts, Ye Bo stepped into the trial ground.

And it was also at dawn.

EDG began to spread the news, confirming that EDG gave up the "1+1" priority clause for player YE.

All parties who learned of this were extremely shocked... followed by extreme ecstasy!

Those who had already climbed into the quilt immediately climbed out, those who were still drinking and having fun immediately cleared the people in the room and started calling... several club offices had already begun to get busy.

Various actions had been dispatched.

Some began to raise funds, some were thinking about various tempting additional conditions, and some were thinking about "finding another way"...

At the same time.

The transfer window opened in advance by the LCK also officially lifted the ban from 12 o'clock.

Some popular players, at the very moment of 12:00, their phones began to receive information from multiple parties.

Some players waiting for news also officially began to need to think about the future of the next season.

And at this time, BeryL, who was still staying up late to liver the map at 2:30, suddenly saw his phone, which had always been very silent, light up the screen.

He habitually picked it up and glanced at it, not intending to pay attention at first.

Suddenly, he saw several familiar words.

Pressed ESC to pause, picked it up and looked at it carefully————then quickly exited and opened the chat software, found the target, and hurriedly sent a voice message. 【184-226

"Jin Hekui, are you asleep?"
