Chapter 24: Does anyone in our club secretly write web novels?
Upon seeing Meiko's words, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. How could he not know what he himself had written?
At this very moment, Meiko is abroad, happily reading Lu Chen's novel.
He really didn't want to laugh, but he just couldn't help it.
The book review section was bustling with activity, no less than a debate on anti-racism forums or Hupu (a popular Chinese sports forum).
[You fucking idiot author, go to hell! A Solo tournament championship doesn't count as a championship. Why haven't I seen you win one? If you're so good, why don't you try it yourself!]
[Where did this idiot come from, relentlessly attacking Uzi? Uzi has defeated all ADCs, but he can't silence you haters. Now that he's won the Solo tournament, he still can't shut you up, huh?]
[I'm not a fan of anyone in particular, but I'm just disgusted by the author's blatant slander against dogs. Fujii, can you please do something about this and ban these idiot authors' books?]
[Oh yeah, right, he got 100 kills with a female police officer. Is she really that strong in a solo match?]
[Here, I'll speak up for the Royal Never Give Up fans: if my little dog hadn't been dragged down by his teammates, he would have won countless championships.]
...
"What a genius." Mingkai, sitting next to Meiko, couldn't help but exclaim.
He really wants to get to know the author of this book.
Did Fish Leong give him the courage to start a group against the odds?
And is there no limit to his talent?
In no time, Lu Chen's latest chapter went viral on several major forums, truly riding the wave of Uzi winning the Solo Championship.
Meanwhile, Uzi was celebrating with Xiaohu, who were the mid laner and ADC selected by the LPL to participate in the All-Star event.
Uzi was initially in high spirits, feeling quite elated by the praise he received online.
When he returns to China tomorrow, he will finally no longer be the world's number one ADC without a championship.
You tell me, does the Solo tournament champion count as a champion?
But when he saw Xiao Hu's flushed face, he was taken aback and said somewhat irritably, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing! Uzi, let's eat." Xiao Hu was holding it in, wishing he hadn't been following Lu Chen's novel.
But seeing Xiaohu's appearance, Uzi became even more curious. He opened the trending topics on his phone again and his eyes widened, and he started breathing heavily through his nostrils.
Screenshots of Lu Chen's latest chapter were sent to his private messages by his fans.
He glanced at it casually and saw that "olo" had been bitten by his girlfriend, hence the name "S-Crown".
There are also phrases like "a Solo tournament champion doesn't count as a champion" and "you'll never get a champion skin in your lifetime."
In an instant, Uzi's chubby face turned red, just like the scorching sun baking Xiaohu.
"Damn! Which author without a horse is this? Is he jealous that I won the Solo tournament?!"
Uzi roared, and then punched Xiaohu in the thigh.
Xiao Hu Siha gasped. He knew then that he would never want to sit with Uzi again.
Thinking of this, he recharged 50 yuan and then silently tipped Lu Chen.
If you're bullied by Uzi in real life, it's not unreasonable to vent your anger in a novel.
After giving the tip, Xiaohu left his first comment: "Please go all out!"
...
"That feels good, bro."
Inside the EDG club, Lu Chen looked at his exploding book review section, along with the continuous stream of monthly tickets and rewards.
He even admired his own talent.
He glanced at the collection again and saw that it had skyrocketed, alarming his editor, Xiaoyu, who immediately teased Lu Chen, "You have platinum talent, update quickly, and I'll fill sacks with money."
"Could it be that I really am a genius?"
Lu Chen stroked his chin, thinking that his failure in his past life was probably due to a lack of favorable timing, location, and people.
In this life, he changed his own destiny.
Now that his novel is about to be published, Lu Chen decided to promote it again using his Weibo account.
You should know that he still has a lot of haters on Weibo who are still praying to him, ever since the news broke that he joined EDG.
The "royal supporters" and "pig supporters" engage in a daily world war on his Weibo, arguing endlessly.
Although posting on Weibo doesn't do Lu Chen much good, it doesn't do him any harm either. What he wants is traffic, and haters are fans too.
Traffic equals money!
With tens of millions of haters following him on Weibo, even a single guy can make a lot of money.
He went pro to make money, right? As for dreams, he doesn't have any.
However, Lu Chen knew that winning the championship would give him more traffic and more money.
Sure enough, he recommended his own novel on his Weibo account, which immediately caused a stir among many netizens.
[What do you mean, K God? Are you trying to incite a full-scale war between pigs and dogs?!]
[Haha, K-God reads this novel too? Great taste! Then let me ask you, K-God, do you know how to control your body temperature?]
[Where did this noob come from? You've never even played in a tournament. You think you're something special just because you're ranked number one on the Korean server? All you can do is drink dog bathwater?]
[What the hell are you talking about? RNG fired you and you're already jealous of them? You even said Uzi can't play Jhin, which shows how low your character is. EDG taking you in proves EDG's bad character!]
[Using Weibo to promote your dad? Can't beat opponents on the field, all you do is read online novels and fantasize? If you're so capable, come and test your skills on the field. Do you really think being number one in the Korean server is that great? You'll beat even the smallest piece of trash.]
When K encountered RNG, he touched his crotch and thought, "Oh, it was just pee. I thought I was sweating from being beaten."
He touched it again and was shocked. "How did the puppy manage to make you poop?"
Lu Chen's Weibo post quickly sparked a strong reaction, especially among the Snake Club.
Yang Fan's eyes widened: "No, he's God K, then who am I?"
"I just fought a bloody BO10, and when I came back, my K God title had been taken away?"
However, that wasn't the main point. He also saw Lu Chen's Weibo post and, driven by curiosity, clicked on "My slightest move is the limit of the base competition area."
Then he shut it down while grumbling.
"Who are you calling a liar! I already said that 'one fish, four ways' is a way to control and offset each other!"
Not only him, but also Wuzhuangtai Cool was discussing this matter with his viewers in his live stream.
"Don't be so sure, I suspect this web novel was written by someone inside EDG. Look at the protagonist; he joined EDG and basically never badmouthed the team. The evidence is conclusive!"
His words caused a great stir, and as the founder of Shockwave, there was some truth to them.
Soon, the anger of the Royal Never Give Up (RNG) fans spread to EDG's official Weibo account, ordering EDG to conduct a thorough investigation and hand over the culprit who trolled Uzi and damaged Chinese esports. This directly caused serious trouble for EDG's operations department.
Which beast started this?
But despite the commotion, they actually tried it and it really did sound like what an EDG insider had written.
And it's funny.

"What are you all laughing at! Don't you want to train anymore?! I'm talking to you, Lee Yee-chan!"
"And you, Lu Chen!"
Suddenly, Manager Abu appeared in the training room and began a death squad roll call.
He was really frustrated. He had finally survived the backlash against 4396, but then Mingkai created another nine Lee Sin and one ball.
Seriously, I'm speechless. Does he think there aren't enough memes about him in the LPL?
Besides this, there are even some bastards stirring up trouble, saying that EDG specifically wrote online articles to smear Uzi.
That's what I meant.
Why would Uzi need his club to specifically target him?
Just like Mingkai, do other clubs need to specifically hire people to smear him?
"Ah Guang, can you practice more champions? You don't think that playing top lane for EDG is just about knowing how to play Maokai, do you? Have you mastered the new champion Camille yet?!"
As Abu roared, A Guang looked at each other in bewilderment. It wasn't that he didn't want to practice Camille, but he just couldn't quite figure out how to play her. This hero always felt so weak and unreliable.
But when he looked back, he was surprised to find that Lu Chen was using Camille to kill high-elo top laners in the Korean server.
"Wait, Ah Chen, how come a mid-laner like you can play a warrior?"
"What are you talking about? Kled could play mid lane last year, and Riven played mid even earlier. What do you mean mid laners can't play fighters?"
"No, no," Ah Guang quickly shook his head, "I meant how come you play better than me?"
"Hmm." Lu Chen smiled. "Perhaps this is talent."
After gaining the talent of returning to the basics, Lu Chen finally understood why Faker was so monstrous.
After just a few practice sessions, his proficiency with the champion increased significantly. Lu Chen estimated that after playing a few more games with Camille, his skill level would be high enough to compete in professional matches.
You'll learn it after watching, and you'll be amazing once you start!
This is not a joke.
"He's got something." Ah Guang was somewhat taken aback, and he couldn't help but compare Lu Chen and Scout in his mind.
He discovered that Scout, compared to Lu Chen, seemed to have no advantage whatsoever, except for having a deeper hero pool and more experience in major tournaments.
In terms of talent, Lu Chen is definitely stronger, and the communication is also very comfortable.
Unlike Scout, who has been with EDG for so long but still can't learn many Chinese phrases.
Every day, the team's voice chatter went on and on, with everyone talking incoherently.
"Holy crap, that was awesome!" Mouse saw Lu Chen suddenly use an E-Flash to fly over the wall and instantly kill someone, and his eyes lit up.
"Want to learn? I'll teach you."
"Yes, yes!"
Ah Guang was overjoyed, but he soon became numb.
"I give up, you're the worst student I've ever taught! Can't you even learn this?"
"You're so bad, why are you playing professionally? Go home and raise pigs!"
By a hair's breadth, Ah Guang would have been brought to tears by Lu Chen's scolding.
This newcomer is not as gentle and refined as he appears.
Despite this, Lu Chen suddenly gained some status in Mouse's heart.
"You also agree to let Lu Dewan play in the tournament?"
"I think he can do it," Mouse nodded.
Abu hesitated for a moment. Deft, without needing to ask, shared a dorm room with Lu Chen, and the two got along well.
Abu then turned his gaze to Pawn, "Yuan Shuo, what do you think?"
"Let him give it a try. You hired him and offered him a high salary, are you just going to keep him on a leash?"
"Alright then." Abu thought about it and agreed. The Demacia Cup wasn't that important after all. Since Mingkai and the others supported it, let Lu Chen give it a try.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Does anyone in our club secretly write online novels?"
