LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 62: Agreeing to the Club Name?

Fu Shiyan considered the possibility of renewing the contract, and even thought about adding supplementary clauses to retain him. He even considered the possibility that Boss Mo might offer some team shares to firmly bind him to the BJBS chariot.

However, when the document was actually placed in front of him, he realized that he had underestimated the intensity of Lao Mo's passion for esports.

A tripartite establishment plan!

This is not a three-party cooperation plan!

The difference of just two words carries a world of difference in meaning.

The former refers to Boss Mo and his friends who jointly created the club, and then he himself was added as an equity investor with his technical expertise. To put it bluntly, he was just an "invited technical backbone".

The latter—although the final form was also his technology as equity, the logic of the whole process was completely different.

Boss Mo truly sees him as a partner on the road to esports, rather than simply a "core employee".

That's why the term "planning and construction" is used.

So it's not that there's been no action during this period, but rather—Old Mo has been holding back a big one.

Fu Shiyan was momentarily speechless.

"Hehe, how about it? I wonder if you're satisfied with my terms, Xiao Fu?"

Seeing Fu Shiyan's undisguised shock, Mo Ziye finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, his tone carrying a hint of smugness and sincerity.

"...To be honest, I was even a little shocked."

Fu Shiyan did not feign composure and told the truth.

What he originally wanted was simply to find a wealthy and easy-going sponsor to fund the formation of a team and help him secure a spot in the LPL league, gradually building up his resources step by step.

He never had any unrealistic ambitions regarding the club's immediate success.

But this Mr. Mo in front of us didn't just give us a team; he even brought the entire esports club to the negotiating table as a bargaining chip.

And what else did Boss Mo just say, about selling the building?

Three buildings in Shanghai?

Even if it's more towards the outer ring area, it's still an astronomical figure.

Mr. Mo, you're playing for such a high stakes, going all in right away?

"Brother Ye, you... value me that much? Or rather... trust me that much?"

Fu Shiyan changed the form of address almost subconsciously.

All I can say is that the championship coach who has experienced future versions of League of Legends has truly mastered the art of "adaptability"—one minute he's still pondering the contract terms, and the next he's already switching to a more intimate form of address without the slightest hesitation.

"Look at what you're saying. If I don't trust you when it comes to League of Legends, who can I trust?"

Mo Ziye shrugged, his expression one of complete nonchalance.

"As for valuing him?" His tone was tinged with emotion. "I think, for a player who can lead four random people to a month of training and then sweep through the city championship and qualify for the LSPL league—even a fool could see his ability."

"Hey, you know what, didn't the second team of a certain LPL club realize that our comrade Fu had some special skills and kicked him out?"

Qi Sheng picked up the conversation at just the right moment. His voice, which was very different from his image, carried a hint of sarcasm, and his words dispelled the serious atmosphere that had just settled in the room.

Fu Shiyan's lips twitched slightly—his past experience of being kicked out of the house had now become a persona he used for marketing.

Mo Ziye stopped joking. He composed himself, sat up straight, and stared directly at Fu Shiyan's face.

"With this in front of you, I've laid everything bare. Let's speak frankly."

"To put it nicely, I'm steady; to put it bluntly, I lack courage. In my dad's words, I'm good at maintaining the status quo but not good at expanding. So even when I had the resources to try, I only ever got a few random people to dabble in small-scale city tournaments for a bit of consolation. I never thought about actually building an esports club or creating a team to compete in the LPL or anything like that."

"Until I met you!"

"Xiao Fu, I am very grateful to you. Without you, there would be no BJBS today, and my so-called e-sports dream would have been nothing but a fantasy."

"Your talent makes me envious, and your ability to train the team amazes me. It is also the first time I have realized that there are people in the world who are born with knowledge."

"As your fame grew, and you became an overnight sensation through live streaming, BJBS got closer and closer to the professional gaming path. More and more clubs tried to contact you through me, which made me suddenly realize..."

"If I don't do something, you will eventually leave, and my esports journey may end in LSPL after you leave."

Fu Shiyan's eyes were filled with complex emotions, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he finally asked, "With such conditions...aren't you afraid..."

"Afraid?"

Mo Ziye laughed before he could finish speaking. His laughter showed no hesitation, but rather an almost carefree composure.

"What am I afraid of? Even if I lose everything, at worst I'll just be clinging to this last building and waiting to die. I won't starve to death anyway."

"But my gut feeling tells me that if I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

As he said this, he glanced at Qi Sheng's direction, and his smile deepened.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Lao Qi for this."

"It was Lao Qi who reminded me—a player who has been kicked out of a team before, deep down he hates the feeling of 'not being in control of his own career path'."

"That's why you constantly showcase your coaching and leadership abilities in the City Championship and Ranked matches, beyond just your top-tier skills. You want absolute control of the team; you're unwilling to entrust your fate to others."

Mo Ziye paused, his voice tinged with a mixture of emotion and relief.

"It's a pity that those LPL clubs have too high expectations and have never realized this—or rather, they simply can't offer this condition."

He laughed out loud, his eyes crinkling slightly.

"That's what gave me the opportunity."

"Then why...?"

Just as Fu Shiyan was about to ask further, Mo Ziye raised her hand again and gently interrupted him.

"You're probably wondering why it's called 'establishing a cooperation plan' instead of directly giving out equity dividends, right?"

"In short—NB already offered you the profit-sharing deal last night. I don't consider myself a protagonist in a novel, nor do I possess any domineering aura to keep you in a team where the starting points were completely unequal."

"Therefore, skipping the team and directly giving you equity in the club, inviting you to become our partner on the road to esports—this is the most suitable and sincere solution I can think of."

The boss, who was full of vigor just a second ago, suddenly became a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Well, although this club is only being established today, and the name hasn't been decided yet, it's still just a shell..."

"I agree."

Fu Shiyan almost subconsciously interrupted Mo Ziye.

He reached out his hand, across the table, toward the two of them.

"What...you agreed?"

Mo Ziye clearly hadn't reacted yet; her expression was still frozen in the lingering aftertaste of what was half explanation and half self-deprecation.

"certainly."

"With such generous terms, I have no reason to refuse, do I?"

Mo Ziye paused for half a second, then burst out laughing and gripped his hand tightly.

"Welcome to join us..."

"Um, just a friendly reminder, let's decide on a name for our club first."

Qi Sheng, who was standing to the side, also smiled and reminded the two of their own words.
