Chapter 210 Wolves Club
Chapter 210 Wolves Club
A few more days passed, and the video spread very quickly. Soon, even people who didn't play King of Glory came across the video.
"Is Honor of Kings really this bad? A streamer carrying four random players can beat a professional team. This game really doesn't require any brains."
"Who says otherwise? Besides, this Wolves team is quite famous. My roommate talks about it all the time. They must be pretty strong. But look what they've got."
"The professional players in this game should just retire and let this streamer take over; he'll get more attention."
.........
Such comments poured in, and the Wolves' official account was so bombarded with criticism that it lost its temper and had to disable comments for itself.
There's no way around it; the power of the internet is just that terrifying.
Inside the Wolves' training room, from coach Li Luo to players like Fly and Xiao Pang, everyone pursed their lips, lowered their heads, and dared not utter a sound.
"Losing to streamers and ordinary players is such a shameful thing, what am I supposed to say about you guys?"
On the stage, a man in a black suit slammed his hand angrily on the wooden table, making a dull thud.
He is the manager of the Wolves, a position above several others.
Anyone who has been scolded in school knows that when a teacher is angry, it's best not to say anything, otherwise you'll only add fuel to the fire and further provoke them.
The Wolves players lowered their heads even further, letting the manager's words go in one ear and out the other, not a single word lingering in their minds.
After the manager had vented his anger, Li Luo smiled and handed him the tea on the table.
"Manager, this isn't entirely our fault. The provincial leaders asked us to help with the publicity, so even if we didn't want to go, we had to!"
The manager took a sip of tea and continued to berate, "But how could you lose to an opponent like that?"
"Ye Lan is very strong. His skills, reaction, judgment, and control of the situation far exceed those of a professional."
"This is the team's voice recording that I got from the school. You can listen to it."
As Li Luo spoke, he tapped on an audio clip on his phone. The Wolves players also gathered around, clearly unaware of the matter.
As the audio continued to play, the manager frowned and asked.
"Are you sure this is team voice chat? I only heard one person's voice."
Li Luo put away her phone. "That's what makes Ye Lan so terrifying. He's the commander-in-chief, and everyone else just needs to do what he says."
"Moreover, if we add the original video, it seems that Ye Lan predicted every single one of our moves."
Fly rested his chin on his hand, recalling the specific details of that game, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Li Luo nodded. "That's right. After I came back, I watched the audio and video together. Every step you took was part of his plan."
The little fat boy's eyes disappeared, his brows furrowed, and his expression was extremely distorted.
"He actually took the lighting into account. Is he even human?"
The disappearance of Guiguzi during the game was not a coincidence or an accident, but rather part of Ye Lan's plan.
"Besides that, he even planned out the condition of all of us. Doing eye exercises before the game? What kind of nonsense is this?"
Xiang Yu and the others were equally shocked.
Their so-called tactics and strategies are all reflected in the game.
But Ye Lan also incorporated elements from outside the game.
He had all the advantages: favorable timing, advantageous location, and popular support.
With a team like that, it would be strange if they didn't win.
Manager: "Since this player named Ye Lan is so skilled, why not offer a higher price to buy him?"
Upon hearing this, the chubby boy raised his head, as if to say, "Aren't you polite?"
You should at least say these things behind someone's back, not to my face!
He knew very well that if Ye Lan agreed to come to the Wolves, the starting position would definitely be Ye Lan's.
As for Xiaopang, he will go from starting to substitute.
This is undoubtedly an insult to professional players.
The manager seemed to sense Xiao Pang's emotions and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Xiao Pang, don't worry. Even if Ye Lan joins the Wolves, you can still be a starter."
Little Fatty snorted in dissatisfaction, "I don't believe it."
The manager said with a smile, "We can have two starters. I'll let you start normally, and then switch to Ye Lan in a do-or-die game."
"Hey manager, you know what, this is a great idea!"
A smile reappeared on Little Fatty's face.
Seeing this, Li Luo, who was standing next to the manager, shook his head calmly, thinking to himself that the young man was still too naive and didn't even realize he had been tricked.
The manager's suggestion seems good, but in reality, it could easily put Xiaopang in the spotlight.
If Xiao Pang plays well and Ye Lan doesn't need to play, then the fans will naturally have nothing to say.
However, if they were to be in a life-or-death situation and Ye Lan had to turn the tide, then the fans would have a lot of complaints.
Since Ye Lan is used in every life-or-death situation, why not use her from the beginning?
At this point, no one cares about Xiaopang's contributions; they just think he doesn't deserve to be a starter.
At that time, it would be perfectly normal for Little Fatty to become a water dispenser manager, transfer to another team, or retire.
"Manager, I have considered what you said. I asked Ye Lan after the match, but he clearly rejected me, saying that he has no intention of playing professional matches at the moment."
Upon hearing this, the manager stroked his chin. "How could someone as talented as him be content to be a lowly streamer?"
"Go and contact him again. If that doesn't work, increase his monthly salary to one million."
Fly was stunned when he heard "Yam," and hurriedly said, "A million, five times my amount?"
"Hey, Fei Niu, don't worry about the immediate gains and losses. Our club spends a lot of money to sign top players, isn't it because we want to win in all kinds of competitions?"
"As the team's ranking improves, the year-end bonus will naturally increase, which benefits all of us."
After listening to the manager's words, Fly felt that this made sense.
As a top star player in the KPL, Fly's salary is actually not high, with a monthly income of only 20 RMB after taxes.
But online you can always hear that someone is worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Salaries alone are definitely not enough.
The main source of income for professional players is actually competitions, both large and small, and business activities.
That's where you really make money!
The prize money for a single competition can be as high as tens of millions, and even if it is split equally, it is still a considerable sum.
This is why the manager wanted to poach Ye Lan.
Ye Lan will definitely be able to elevate the Wolves to an unprecedented level.
With its good looks and strong technical skills, a little packaging would definitely make it a great money-maker.
Li Luo frowned, stroking his chin, recalling his conversation with Ye Lan that day.
"Even with a raise, they might not be able to sign him."
“I can sense that Ye Lan is genuinely uninterested in professional competitions right now. He seems very satisfied with his current situation. It’s hard to lure this kind of person out with money.”
"When he encounters difficulties or becomes dissatisfied with the status quo, that will be our opportunity!"
