Not every young master in the Forty-Nine City circle has his own business. Same place and different people. There are those who are in power at a young age like Gu Yan, and there are those in their twenties who are still playful and uncertain.
And such people are not rare in the circle. Especially in the family where the brothers are good friends and the elder brothers are capable, as the youngest son, as long as it is not too shameful, they are basically pampered.
And the so-called "selling people" that Yun Zheng saw was a small transaction between these people. As for what they bought and sold, there was no love affair or conflict of interest in it, it was simply a group of second world masters comparing each other.
To use a more easy-to-understand word, it is the game team.
In the original game circle, the title of professional gamer is not popular yet. And those who make money from games, in the eyes of some people, also tend to be idle. But since the international regulations have been adopted to formalize the definition of competitive games, the spring of professional players has come. Later, after the game "Glory of Heroes" was developed, there were not many professional competitive game clubs in China, and there were more and more clubs.
This kind of club doesn't need a lot of capital, and if they really want to make a name for themselves, there are also a lot of endorsements and commercial performances. And it can also be connected to the live broadcast. The current game anchors can be regarded as the most profitable group of anchors. Therefore, especially these Second World Masters, they are just fun, and they have nothing to do when they have nothing to do. It is not a big deal to run one or two professional game clubs.
But generally speaking, clubs run by these people treat their professional players well, but what Yunzheng saw today was a bit pitiful.
In fact, the turnover of the original team is not a new thing. But the one who brought people here this time is different from those who love to play in the 49th circle, who will consider the exchange of personal wishes or poach people. This one can be said to be sold.
This person's name is Zhang Rong, and he is a broker who specializes in using professional teams as a stepping stone.
Speaking of it, Zhang Rong is also a strange flower in the circle. The Zhang family's power in Yanjing is not great, it can only be said to be a lower middle class. And Zhang Rong is not that kind of promising, and in the evaluation of the circle, he is also said to be a villain.
But villains also have villains. Zhang Rong is very good at training people. All professional teams that have passed through his hands, no matter what they were like before, as long as they follow his pace, within a year, they will be able to compete in the professional league. Successfully qualified for the playoffs.
This sounds very powerful, but for these qualified team members, being able to qualify for the playoffs does not represent a smooth future, but another beginning with an uncertain future.
In order to get in touch with these boys and buddies, Zhang Rong will take the initiative to use these trained and formed teams as tools, and teach them the whole thing half sold and half given away. As for what feelings, what reluctance
not at all.
After all, for Zhang Rong, these are just tools that can help him make his way to the top.
"Captain, will we be able to play professional leagues in the future?" The team following Zhang Rong is a new team in Zhang Rong's club that won the top eight in the spring competition. For the past whole year, they were confined to Zhang Rong's club for crazy daily training and rarely went out. But she never expected that after being honored, the news that she was trafficked came to her. So this time, the youngest one, holding his mouth, was about to cry.
The boy's name is Shi Liang. He is only 14 years old this year. He looks tender, but he is a mage with both spirituality. Almost all the mages in "Glory of Heroes" can be given the second level in his hands. Like life, become flexible and elusive.
He loves "Glory of Heroes", otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered so much just to play professionally. Therefore, when he thought of those seniors who were sent out, some of them could still be valued, but more were just buried like this, and he became even more disturbed.
As for the older captain Gao Yuan, he just patted his younger brother on the shoulder soothingly and opened his mouth to comfort him, but in the end he didn't say anything.
What can he say? As the captain, he knew more than the other teammates, but it was this that made him feel that the road ahead was dark.
Gao Yuan felt humiliated when he saw that although the clothes on his body were formal, but they were packaged more like an excellent product, he couldn't even feel his self-esteem as a human being. As for the gazes of those sons and brothers on them, they seemed to be picking goods.
Holding his breath in his chest, Gao Yuan only felt extremely uncomfortable. But the situation is not as good as others, so he can only endure. After all, in their current state, isn't it just a pastime in the hands of those second world masters
Closing his eyes, Gao Yuan lowered his head and endured the humiliation in his eyes one by one.
However, he never expected that what happened next would become even more embarrassing for him.
They were left over.
In a game like "Glory of Heroes", there are generally five positions, top lane fighter, mid lane mage, jungle assassin, bottom lane output shooter, and support, each of which performs its own duties and is indispensable.
But in their team, except for the jungler, everyone else was rejected this time.
However, the young master's attitude was also very flat. In a simple sentence, "I have all the team members in my hand, and only one jungler is missing."
But this sentence made the faces of the entire team's teenagers change drastically.
"I..." the jungler wanted to say, but I won't go. But soon Zhang Rong gave him a glare, and suppressed the words behind him. But even so, the jungler's eye circles were a little red.
As for the remaining four, including the captain, they were all in a dazed state.
However, the deal was concluded, and Zhang Rong soon became in the mood to get close to that young master. And these five professional players were ordered by him to go to a corner with few people, and he took them away after the banquet was over.
"What should we do? Captain?" When Shi Liang was young, he burst into tears.
And Gao Yuan also felt uncomfortable. The jungler was even more impulsive and wanted to run back, "I told them, I won't go. We all came out together, no matter where we go in the future, we have to be together! We are brothers!"
"No! I think that son is easy to talk to. If you go, he really agrees and doesn't want you anymore. What will you do in the future?" Gao Yuan can still maintain his rationality.
"Yeah, you can't do this. Didn't you agree to represent China in the future and participate in international competitions? Don't be impulsive."
"That's right, go one by one. I checked before I came here. The person Zhang Rong is looking for belongs to kd. I remember that dk also has wild nuclear tactics. If you go, you will definitely become c. Don't destroy yourself Future." The other team members also followed suit.
"Yeah, but then I'm leaving, what do you guys do!" Jungle was not very old, he was just a fifteen-year-old kid, and when he heard that everyone was thinking about himself, he also cried.
It's not that they are exaggerating too much, it's that they are too aware of Zhang Rong's strategy. Zhang Rongyang's team is all grown up. Five people at a time, if they can't be sent out, they can be sold to other offline clubs at a low price. But if something like them happens, a team is not sold out, but dismantled. As long as the price of the few sold is right, he won't care about the rest. After returning, he was thrown into the training camp of his own club and left to fend for himself.
And obviously, the price given by the son of the kb team this time is appropriate. So once the jungler leaves, the few remaining players in the team will become discarded pawns.
Others who were sold cheaply to offline teams may have the opportunity to return to the professional game in the future, but their future is to be completely hidden by Zhang Rongxue, and never have the chance to appear in the professional game again.
So, is the result of the quarterfinals of the previous spring split their last glory
At this moment, including the captain Gao Yuan, the five people were silent.
They are all really fond of professional competitions, so they disregarded their family's obstruction and came to Yanjing from afar, accepting Zhang Rong's solicitation, and became members of the team's reserve camp. Later, it was also relying on day and night research and technology to finally stand out.
In order to realize their dreams, they have not received a single salary in Zhang Rong's hands for the past two years, and their daily food tastes very cheap. In addition to the computer configuration and peripherals that can keep up with it, their living environment is also bad.
When I first came, I even slept on the table because there were too many players in the training camp and there was no room.
But even so, they survived and managed to achieve good results in the spring split. But who would have thought that they took ninety-nine steps to realize their dream in one hundred steps, but because of Zhang Rong, they died at the last step.
"I, I'm not reconciled!" Shi Liang, the young mage at the beginning, wiped his tears fiercely: "Captain, tell me, we are not without strength. I heard from others that although e-sports is a niche, But now that there are so many people playing games, and "Glory of Heroes" is so popular, many teams are also making money. Is it impossible for us to sell ourselves? What if we can?"
"Yes!" The jungler seemed to have just realized it, and asked, "Captain, why don't we recommend ourselves!"
"You see that bastard Zhang Rong can take us to trade. Then we might as well sell ourselves. It's not that we don't have strength, and it's not that we don't fight well. What if someone values it
"That... I observed it carefully just now, and I remembered who Zhang Rong talked to. Why don't we try it now?"
"But I was rejected just now, and there will be no results if I go again! And you think, if someone really wants us, our team is not complete, and it will be difficult to catch up with the playoffs. In addition, the autumn competition is also very difficult. Dangerous. After all, even the opponent happens to have a suitable jungler who can cooperate with us. But think about it, how could Zhang Rong let us go so easily? He can't wait to suck the last drop of blood!"
Gao Yuan's rational words broke the hope that everyone had just born. But after a few minutes of silence, Shi Liang who spoke first couldn't help it anymore.
"Then I want to try too! Anyway, no matter how bad it is, can it be worse than it is now? I heard from the coach before that many of the people who came here this time are big shots. Then let's just bump into one at random, maybe they are noble people."
"Then, let's go!" Hearing Shi Liang's words, Gao Yuan's heart also moved. He's used to taking the worst into account every time. But the current situation is already the worst. Thinking of the future where once he leaves, there will be no room for change, Gao Yuan nodded fiercely, agreed with Shi Liang's suggestion, and then took his team members to find someone who can sell him.
—
In the end is a newcomer. In addition, compared to other places they went to before, the structure of the Ling family is obviously more complicated. And they had to be careful to avoid Zhang Rong's sight all the time, so as not to be discovered by him, so they were even more frightened.
So, fifteen minutes later, instead of finding anyone to sell themselves, Gao Yuan and the others lost their way.
This is how to do
All five of them were stunned. But at this moment, the sound of conversation not far away caught their attention.
It seems to be three teenagers who are older than them. The more active one has a loud voice, the less talkative one is clear and indifferent, and the last one has a warm voice, which sounds the most ordinary at first glance, but it has that unique gentleness and calmness. , but it is easy to soothe people's uneasiness.
How about asking for directions? The five people looked at each other, reached a consensus, and walked over there together.
Coincidentally, the three people they met were none other than Ling Xiang, and Yun Zheng and Gu Yan who were entangled by Ling Xiang.
Since Ling Xiang returned to Yanjing, he was forcibly controlled by his elder brother. Because Yunzheng and Gu Yan are all of the same age, and Yunzheng is still younger than you, look at others, look at yourself, and don’t expect you to be like them in the future, at least your academic performance must be passable, so keep him at home to study .
In addition, Yun Zheng was so busy every day that he really didn't have time to mess around with Ling Xiang. As for Gu Yan, he wished that Ling Xiang would never show up, because he thought he was too noisy, and all his cronies and friends were politely turned away by his elder brother, and there was no one to intercede for him.
Therefore, Ling Xiang hadn't held an outdoor live broadcast for more than a month, and naturally he didn't have the chance to eat the food cooked by Yunzheng.
For a foodie, this is simply too cruel. Therefore, taking advantage of the Ling family's dinner party, Ling Xiang seized the opportunity and lingered beside Yun Zheng, wanting to get Yun Zheng to ask his brother for a favor so that he could go to Gu's house for dinner.
"No!" Reaching out to push Ling Xiang away, Gu Yan's eyes were full of disgust.
And Yun Zheng also indulged Gu Yan, allowing Ling Xiang to be bullied by him. At the end of the quarrel, Ling Xiang's wish was not fulfilled, and he was forcibly fed a mouthful of dog food, feeling that life was hopeless.
And feel that Yun Zheng, the original soul friend, has been bewitched by beauty, and there is no friendship at all. Simply squatting on the ground, very resentful.
So, how did Ling Xiang, the idiot son of the landlord's family, grow up to be so big? Yun Zheng was also tormented by his cheating. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to him and said, "Yes, but after your school's midterm exam is over. You must study hard in these two days. I heard from your brother that you go back to After Yanjing, it is almost going to heaven."
"..." God damn wants to go to heaven! Ling Hui must not be his real brother. The moment he heard Yun Zheng's words, Ling Xiang suddenly changed his face because of his elder brother's slander, but when he thought that he would be able to eat Yun Zheng's special delicacy after the exam, he calmed down again. And contentedly, he turned around Yun Zheng and Gu Yan. I don't think that my dog-legged attitude would be too embarrassing.
Who told Yun Zheng and the others to feed him dog food every day and raise him like a hussy, then he would be a bit of a dog! If it wasn't for the fear that Gu Yan would be in a hurry, he could have hugged Yun Zheng's thigh directly, knelt down and called Dad.
The three of them quarreled for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yun Zheng planned to go back to the other side of the banquet hall. He and Gu Yan made an appointment with Lu Yiming today to talk about something, but Gu Yu said before that Lu Yiming's home was delayed, and he might come later, and now counting the time, it should be almost the same.
But at this moment, five and a half-year-old teenagers suddenly caught up with them from behind.
"Lost?" Ling Xiang glanced at them and immediately understood their entanglement.
As for Yun Zheng and Gu Yan, they just looked at each other and didn't mean to say much.
"Uh..." The three of them were unexpectedly gentle and easy to talk, which made Gao Yuan and the five of them a little dazed.
But then, they followed Ling Xiang subconsciously, but when their eyes fell on Yun Zheng, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"He, is he Yun Zheng? The Yun Zheng on the Internet?" Shi Liang was the first to recognize Yun Zheng.
"It should be! I have seen his news. And isn't that Ling Xiang next to him? He is also an anchor, and he has broadcasted games before. LME's mid laner is a good friend of him."
"That's right! I remembered! At that time, they also said that LME's mid laner is very lucky to have a good friend like Ling Xiang, who protects him everywhere."
"Then, why don't we ask? If he also likes to play "Glory of Heroes", what if he can accept us?"
"But neither Ling Xiang nor Yun Zheng has a professional team club, and they won't open one just for us!"
"Then what's left?" Shi Liang alluded to Gu Yan. But then, the others fell silent.
Gu Yan is definitely the most unlikely of the three of them. Among other things, just looking at Gu Yan's stern aura, he knew that he was not easy to provoke, and he was also a typical industry elite, definitely not the type who was idle and playing games.
For a while, Gao Yuan and the others were a few steps behind Yun Zheng and the others, discussing in low voices non-stop. But seeing that they were approaching the entrance of the banquet hall, they didn't come to a conclusion.
But if they don't make a decision, they will have no chance after entering the banquet hall. The point is, compared to others, Ling Xiang and Yun Zheng are obviously the best choices for the club.
After all, Ling Xiang himself loves to play games, and in the e-sports circle, many professional players of top teams are friends with Ling Xiang.
Although Yun Zheng doesn't play games, his reputation is there. The crew of "Sinking" at the beginning, the subsequent web-literature alliance, the birth of a small character, and his promotion and promotion of traditional folk skills, almost everything has been done extremely authentically. If they could really get Yunzheng's help, they would have some hope for their future.
All the players are staring at the captain eagerly, hoping that he can make a final decision.
And the captain was ruthless and made a decision. After all, if you sell yourself, even if you are rejected, it is better than doing nothing and just acquiescing to the future.
You know, the career cycle of a professional player is actually just a few short years. He is now seventeen years old. If he is hidden this time, he can really change his career directly.
But he hasn't won the championship yet, and hasn't stepped into the battlefield of world-class competitions, so he doesn't want to stop here, and he is not willing to stop here.
Gao Yuan decided that whether it was for himself or for these brothers, he had to try with a thick skin.
"Well, that Young Master Yun, can I discuss something with you?" He mustered up his courage, walked quickly a few steps, and blocked Yun Zheng's way.
"What's the matter?" Yun Zheng also stopped when he heard him calling himself. But I was a little surprised in my heart, I don't know what they asked me for
Yun Zheng actually had an impression of these people. At the beginning of the banquet, when Zhang Rong led them around to sell, Yun Zheng saw them from a distance. Just didn't ask. And I heard from Ling Xiang that generally the teams brought out by Zhang Rong can be sold. So it is assumed that they have already found a next home, which is why they feel confused.
And Gao Yuan didn't waste time, seeing that Yun Zheng was willing to listen, he simply explained his situation.
"Young Master Yun, although we played wildly in the spring split, in fact, we can also play in other modes. As long as there is a passable jungler, I promise, you accept us, maybe this time the playoffs We can't catch up, but in the autumn competition, we will definitely not embarrass you!"
Playoffs, autumn season, wild core... This series of game terms directly confused Yun Zheng. Fortunately, Ling Xiang could understand, and he explained it to Yun Zheng, and he understood.
The playoffs mean that after the spring split, the top eight teams that win will win the championship in the playoffs. As for the autumn competition, it literally means the professional team competition that will start in autumn.
At the same time, in the supplementary comments from other team members, Yun Zheng also understood why they came to ask him.
From the experience point of view, it is indeed a bit pitiful. But Yun Zheng couldn't decide to pay attention for a while. Although he knew that in the next two years, with the explosion of "Glory of Heroes", the enthusiasm of national e-sports will also follow. But the Yun family itself does not have any related professional team clubs. If building a...
Thinking of those messy stalls, Yun Zheng immediately had a headache. There is everything in the first place, and there is no way to be chaotic. If this is a new professional team that doesn't even have a framework, I'm afraid there will be more involved.
But even so, it's not impossible to try. Thinking of the encounter with Han Zhe and the three brothers during the day, Yun Zheng suddenly remembered Han Rui's existence.
Although I don't know much about the e-sports circle. But Yunzheng knew that Han Rui was a jungler in his previous life. As for the team in front of him, regardless of other things, the character of the players still looks good. Originally, he planned to send Han Rui to another team, but looking at it this way, he might as well stay with him.
In addition, there is a company in the Yun family that happens to make game peripherals. If this team can fight, maybe that half-dead peripheral company can also rise. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not impossible.
After making up his mind, Yun Zheng said to them, "I know about it. But where do you want to go, can you decide for yourself?"
"No... You have to trouble Shao Yun to find Zhang Rong. But Zhang Rong is definitely willing." Gao Yuan and the others lowered their heads after talking. They were too young when they entered Zhang Rong's training camp, so they signed the Overlord clause by mistake.
If you violate the ban, you will never be able to participate in professional competitions. So now that Yun Zheng asked, they were also very depressed.
"I understand. I will discuss it with the person in charge of your club later."
"Thank you, Young Master Yun!" That was it, and the eyes of the five people lit up instantly.
And their obvious joy made Yun Zheng feel a little better.
As for picking up people... Anyway, I picked up three during the day, and I don't care if I continue to pick up four at night. It is estimated that when I go home at night, this little milk dog is going to make a fuss again. Taking a peek at Gu Yan's frowning eyebrows, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile. Squeezing his palm soothingly, seeing that Gu Yan's ears were red because he was not used to being intimate in front of outsiders, he let go of his hand contentedly.
—
Just like Gao Yuan and the other five said, when Zhang Rong heard that Yun Zheng had plans for important people, he wished he could give all of them to Yun Zheng.
This is Yun Zheng! The hottest person in the circle right now. Not to mention his identity as a master of metaphysics, his skills in investment and management are also quite good. The point is, following Yun Zheng's lead, you can earn money by drinking soup.
Not to mention the land in the suburbs of Beijing in the future, just the few times Yunzheng tested the waters in the film and television industry before, Gu Yu got a lot of advantages by following him. Now the entire crew of "Sinking" has signed under his name. There are other people who have a good relationship with Yunzheng, like the Ling family and the Lu family, and they are all flourishing now.
But even so, Zhang Rong is also good at judging the situation. He could see that Yun Zheng had a cold attitude towards him, and he didn't seem to like him very much, so he didn't deliberately get close to him, for fear of offending others.
What's more, these kids in the team are just playing for fun. It would be a pleasant surprise if a good relationship can be formed because of this.
Both of them have intentions, and the follow-up matters will go smoothly. But Zhang Rong didn't know why, the moment he decided to transfer Gao Yuan and the others to Yun Zheng, he felt that he would lose money in the future.
It must be an illusion!
Thinking of this, Zhang Rong felt much more at ease. After all, although Gao Yuan and the others did well this time, but he has handled so many teams, compared with others, Gao Yuan and the others are not that good. Otherwise, it would not fail to sell this time, only one jungler was sold.
But forget it, he was originally a broker in the circle, who is good and who is not, has nothing to do with him. The e-sports circle is so big, no matter how skilled Yun Zheng is, he can only play for fun. Is it possible that in the future, the four of Gao Yuan will be praised by Yun Zheng as e-sports stars, and the entire network traffic
It's also because I think too much.
After talking with Yun Zheng on Zhang Rong's side, he put this matter behind him. However, the group of second world masters in the circle were cheered up by this news.
Who would have thought that Yun Zheng, who had always been praised by his elders, would not be doing his job this time. Not only did they buy a professional team with only four members with Zhang Rong, the broker, for one million, but they also tried to continue spending money to establish a professional sports club.
Now, things get really interesting.
