Chapter 182 Who in the world doesn’t know you! Returning home in glory! [Seeking monthly votes]

“Okay, OK, got it, Director. I’m almost home too.”

Ye Bo, who had just got off the plane and was heading home in a taxi, hung up the phone.

“What’s wrong? Did Manager Ming assign you new work?” Ye Ying turned around and asked.

“Nothing, just tell me about the live broadcast contract~” Ye Bo said lightly, looking at the familiar city scenery outside the window.

“Then it seemed that there was an interview coming up, and some documentary footage needed to be reshot. Also, Boss Zhu told us that he was really sorry that he couldn’t come to the celebration party last night.”

It was a long list of things, and the two elders couldn’t understand it either.

Ye Xiong said casually, “Don’t work too hard.”

When Ye Bo heard this voice, he felt something strange.

Before this, it seemed that my father had never spoken to me in this tone.

He still remembers the first time he said he wanted to take a leave of absence to practice his skills at home, and the noisy atmosphere at home when he wanted to play professionally.
But Ye Bo just pretended to be casual and continued to look out the window: “It’s not hard. Anyway, I used to live broadcast at home every day. I can make money by live broadcasting during the off-season. It’s pretty good~”

“I heard from the factory manager that my live broadcast contract is quite popular!”

“The lowest is 5 million, the highest is even 9 million, and the duration is also…”

When Ye Bo mentioned this number, the two elders who had already been shocked were not too surprised.

However, the taxi driver in the front seat couldn’t help but steal a glance at the rearview mirror.

Trying to see clearly the appearance of the young man behind him and the glittering golden trophy in his hand.

“Hey young man, are you the one, the one who plays games?!”

The taxi driver, who finally seemed to see something clearly, suddenly widened his eyes.

“I should be it, right?” Ye Bo pointed at himself.

“Hey, master, drive carefully!”

The excited taxi driver suddenly turned his head to look at the back seat, which scared Ye Bo.

“Really? I just thought you looked familiar. My son has been calling me grandpa every day in his room for the past month. I remember seeing your autographed photo on his desk.”

“Can you take a picture with me later? He really likes you. I’ll have to waive your bicycle fare!”

Huzhou has the second highest housing prices in the entire provincial capital. Ye Bo’s home is in a relatively remote urban area, and it takes at least 200 yuan to drive to the airport.

The driver saw it placed next to the computer desk. Every time before playing games to increase scores, he would “worship” it and say that he was “inviting gods”. In this way, he remembered the appearance of the person in the photo.

That was an autographed photo his son had luckily snatched during a post-game interaction during a playoff game.

Come to think of it, that young man was actually one of the people who was “treated differently” and hugged by Ye Bo during the post-match session.

“Of course!” Ye Bo laughed happily, “But you don’t have to waive the fare. You guys are tired from driving, too. Just help me thank him for his support.”

The driver was a little emotional: “Last time he wanted to watch your game, I disagreed and we had a fight, but after he came back, I saw that he was really happy, so I was happy too.”

Ye’s mother and father were standing next to them, listening to their conversation.

They realized that they seemed to have underestimated their son’s current influence.

Shouldn’t this kind of game competition be a relatively niche competition?

More than an hour’s drive.

Ye Bo finally saw the gate of his own community.

Although he had only been away for half a year, Ye Bo suddenly felt as if several years had passed.
“Master, it’s the staircase at the corner in front!” Ye Bo was about to point in the direction.

But the other party spoke first: “It’s the staircase over there with many people, right?”

Ye Bo looked carefully and found that there were quite a lot of people gathered downstairs of his house.

Many of them were familiar neighbors—but it was obvious that they were all people who came to watch the fun because of the numerous cameras, which looked like a TV interview.

In order to avoid trouble, Ye Bo got off the car early and took several selfies with the driver at the corner.

“Um, can you sign for me?” The driver hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of his son, he spoke embarrassedly.

“How about a video chat?” Ye Bo seemed a little embarrassed and said, “I can cheer him on.”

All of Ye Bo’s autographed photos were signed by someone hired by the club.

His handwriting is really ugly, and the club is afraid that signing him will affect its image.

Ye Bo decided to practice his signature when he got back, preferably one with a simpler design.
“Is it really possible?”

The driver obviously didn’t expect this to happen, and quickly made a video call.

The call was connected, and a slightly impatient voice popped out from the other end: “What’s wrong?”

“Ah Wei! Look who this is!”

Ye Bo’s face appeared on the screen: “Hi, hello!”

“Who the hell???” the camera on the opposite side suddenly flew up.

“Master Ye!!!”

Ye Bo had a brief exchange with the other party.

It’s mainly just to thank him for his love and support, but just this is enough to make the other person excited.

“Well, I will continue to work hard next year, and you should work hard too!” Ye Bo said with full energy: “I heard from your father that the school you want to apply to is great, and you are much better at studying than me, so we should all work hard!”

“You must do your best! I hope that when you, Master Ye, win the next championship, I can also be admitted to that school!”

The face of the young man opposite seemed to have never been so excited and motivated as it was at this moment.

After hanging up the phone, although the driver tried to obstruct him in every way, Ye Bo made full use of the predictive ability of the champion mid laner. He secretly took a picture of the payment code before getting off the car and forced his way around to pay.

All I can say is that this is a powerful attack that even GEN’s turtle formation couldn’t defend against!
“Thank you, thank you,” the driver said sincerely, with some emotion, “You are a very good idol. He didn’t like the wrong person.”

“No, I’m not an idol, I’m just an e-sports player.” Ye Bo smiled silly and waved his hands.

“But thank you for liking him!”

Ye’s father and mother just stood by, quietly watching Ye Bo’s entire conversation, and the two of them smiled at each other from time to time.

They could clearly feel that Ye Bo seemed to have changed a lot in half a year, but many things seemed to have remained the same.

After bidding farewell to this brief interlude, the three of them walked downstairs.

Soon, neighbors who were watching the fun noticed the three people approaching.

“Hey, the Ye family is back!”

The reporters waiting downstairs immediately turned their heads.

After finding out that it was indeed that face, his tired face instantly turned into a smiling one and came over to greet him, with the microphone in his hand hanging with the code of “Huzhou TV Station”.

“They really came to find us.” Ye Xiong, who had never seen such a scene before, couldn’t help but sigh in a low voice.

“Hey, you don’t understand! What’s this~” Ye Ying almost put his hands on his hips and said, “I remember when I won the championship last year, I was interviewed by CCTV and People’s Daily!”

In fact, from the perspective of perception, the e-sports industry has only gradually been destigmatized in recent years.

But in fact, as early as 05, China’s top e-sports player Sky had already appeared in official media such as People’s Daily, and even served as the first e-sports Olympic torchbearer in 08.

Including the three championship records of the League of Legends in 18, 19 and 21, all of them were celebrated by various official statements, and the treatment was quite impressive.

This is of course understandable.

After all, no matter how much we say, as long as there are enough people who like and love this project, even if xxx doesn’t like it, who does xxx count as?

And the local TV station in Huzhou will naturally not miss this opportunity – this is a godsend for the development of the local e-sports industry!
The number of e-sports users in China is as high as 4.9 million, and the scale of the industry has already exceeded billion yuan. I wonder how many cities want to get a piece of this cake!
However, this field has always been divided up by Wuhan, Shanghai and Chengdu. For this reason, Xi’an even provided official land and money to build the LOL home stadium for free, which shows its determination.

This is why, even if you win a bronze medal or third place, you will likely be welcomed by your fellow villagers with banners lining the streets.
What’s more, this is the most watched championship!

When the reporter saw the three of them coming back together, he keenly realized that the champion’s “family” might be a good topic to start with. So he seized the opportunity downstairs and conducted a brief interview.

The neighbors were watching from the sidelines, chattering about the situation.

“Wow, Xiaoye has grown so big. He seemed so small when I saw him before. It seems like I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

“Because I heard that he stays at home every day to play games and practice!”

“This is such a big deal, isn’t it? It’s just playing a game, how can playing games be considered a legitimate way of life? By the way, how much money do you think he can make?”

“Oh! Well, you really shouldn’t say that. I was watching a video yesterday and saw something online saying that the son of the Ye family is very powerful now. It was said that dozens of teams were fighting for him and he made tens of millions a year!!”

“Tens of millions? I heard it was hundreds of millions! You can really make money playing games now!”

“Is this true or not?”

“Don’t say that. Xiaoye actually looks quite handsome. My daughter seems to be about the same age as him.”

The interview lasted until the afternoon.

After the ceremony, almost all the neighbors who had had some dealings with the family before came to congratulate them.

Ye Bo’s family is not considered strangers in the community. Everyone knows that the Ye family has a son with a cheerful personality who can talk to anyone, and everyone has watched him grow up.

But later on, I heard that he was staying at home after taking a leave of absence from school, and everyone sighed in private.
But today.

The dilapidated threshold of the Ye family seemed to be bearing a weight that was greater than the weight of the past twenty years combined.

After finishing his work, Ye Bo finally had time to rest: “It’s still more comfortable at home~~”

“Oh no, Mom, how come my treadmill has become a clothes drying rack?!”

“I bought it for you to run around. Your dad and I won’t need it when you’re not around,” Ye Ying said with a smile, “Wait, I’ll go cook first.”

“Let’s order takeout. I’m exhausted today. I still have to work on the live broadcast later.”

Ye Bo’s live broadcast arrangements have not yet been finalized.

In fact, there are only three powerful live streaming platforms out there: Yu, Hu, B, and the prices offered by the three are different, and each has its own characteristics.

Douyu’s contract is quite demanding in terms of “revenue flow”—in other words, it requires the anchors to “cheat gifts” more.

Huya’s contract has relatively strict requirements on “watching time”—in other words, it wants to broadcast as much as possible.

As for Bilibili, it is relatively Buddhist. According to Mr. Ming who wishes to remain anonymous, it is because the boss of Bilibili likes Ye Bo very much and is willing to lower his requirements in all aspects.

Ye Bo’s first choice is actually Bilibili.

After all, this is where I first started live streaming. The environment is familiar and there are many familiar people there.

Finally, I confirmed a few conditions that I was more concerned about.

Although the signing fee is slightly lower than that of Yuhu, there are almost no restrictions.

Ye Bo prefers the feeling of free live broadcast, just like his previous self, not like punching in at work.

“I’m going back to my room first. Call me when the takeaway arrives!”

After sending the confirmation message to Mingkai, Ye Bo returned to the room.

Looking at this room that I haven’t been back for half a year but is still spotless, even the bedding seems to have been changed recently.

Ye Bo also felt a little warm in his heart.

Judging from the time, my parents had already gone abroad at least a week ago, and have been in the same territory with Ye Bo since then.

In other words, even if Ye Bo hadn’t been back in the past six months, his room should have always been cleaned and prepared by someone.

Lie down on the soft quilt.

Ye Bo comfortably took out his phone. He was too busy these past two days, and his parents were also around.

In addition, when Ye Bo was sleeping, he was either training in the trial field or in the “pot”.
I don’t even have time to check my phone!

First, I responded to a long list of 99+ unread messages in batches, including other LPL players, elementary school classmates I hadn’t contacted for more than ten years, childhood playmates I used to have a good relationship with, and even some teachers.
This is the trouble with having good relationships with others.

However, Ye Bo discovered that Li Xianghe also sent a message!

It wasn’t just after the final, but the hours after that—it was like going through a psychological tangle.

The content was just a simple congratulations.

Looking back at the last chat between the two, it still stopped at the end of the video “Tsar Pushing Sand Soldiers.AVI”.

Ye Bo didn’t know what to reply. After all, as the winner, any reply at this time seemed a bit “sarcastic”.

So I just replied with a meaningless cat emoticon.

And worth mentioning.

There is no personnel information from any other clubs in the message list.

This is because of the strict [Transfer Period Regulations] restrictions. Before the transfer period begins, any private contact with the players will be considered a serious violation.

The punishment may be a fine or suspension, or even a lifetime ban from the industry!
The transfer period usually starts one week after the end of the S season and lasts until after the annual ceremony and on the eve of the start of the spring season.

Ye Bo doesn’t have much thought about whether he will stay or leave next season.

Viper has already confirmed his departure. I heard that many strong teams in LCK are interested in him. He is definitely a hot commodity.

This EDG is destined to not be able to retain the original team members, and separation is inevitable.

But Ye Bo didn’t know how many clubs were ready to make a move and were frantically preparing ammunition everywhere. They were ready to go out in full force the moment the horn of war was blown!

The response to EDG’s second consecutive championship has just begun.

No one could have imagined how terrifying the siphon effect would be as the first two consecutive championships in the history of the LPL region.

I can say something a little “dark”.

It is because of the experience in the LCK region.

Of all the LPL team leaders, none of them would want or allow the birth of an “SKT in the LPL region”.
Can be imagined.

This will definitely be the craziest transfer period in history!

Ye Bo shook his head and stopped thinking about these uncertain things.

He just wants to let nature take its course and believe that there will be the best arrangement.

Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well practice the new version or watch some videos!

As soon as you open Station B.

Perhaps because he would click on it every time he saw it, the homepage once again pushed the collection of two-way slices with incredible accuracy.

The title is quite eye-catching————”Everyone stand up! The sea ends and the sky is the shore, the mountain top is me! The first double crown in history! Everyone revels in the scene of all beings!”

In just less than a day, the number of views has exceeded a terrifying three million!
As soon as we came in, we saw the familiar face DYS.

“Oh my god! Zeka was killed by a single player again! He was also killed by a single player at level 3 in the Ip Man finals!” Sun Yeyou screamed desperately, with a dazzling light reflecting off his head.

“Thief card? Pit card!!!” Xika screamed and laughed evilly: “A professional commentator is one who dares to make professional judgments! Just watch, this wave of single kills is definitely just the beginning!”

The kid Youshen said nervously, “But this wave was actually quite close. This guy and Flash E reacted really fast. It was such a daring move.”

However, just five minutes later, a pair of Crocs suddenly flew over the Dragon Palace!

“Fuck!!! Fuck!!!”

“Master!!!!”

The child who excitedly slid down from the gaming chair disappeared, but one could still hear his hoarse throat shouting. When he climbed up again, his round face suddenly flushed red, and one could seriously suspect that he was imitating the godhood.

“Flying! Thunder! God! Oh my god, it’s Flying Thunder God!!”

“It’s so similar! Reshai! This is Reshai’s Flying Thunder God! Someone is using it again, it’s so similar! This is Ip Man!”

Xika was about to jump up, but was hit by a pair of sauerkraut-smelling Crocs falling from the sky.

He was so angry that he deliberately caught him and asked, “Where is it?”

The kid choked for a moment, but still said stubbornly, “If it weren’t for the provocation, this move wouldn’t be called ‘Flying Thunder God’!”

Sun Yalong said with a smile: “To be honest, this is definitely what Ye Wen did in scientific research. He must be the first one to use it this way!”

“I’m old Akali. Akali in this version shouldn’t be able to use Q in the air. It must be something wrong with her operation. It doesn’t match the previous one~”

The child was silent while parading, but his mouth was clearly still mumbling something incomprehensible.

Next, there was the scene in the first game where Zeka was killed three times in a row.

The appearance of each wave makes the atmosphere that overflows the screen more intense.

“This is really too exaggerated. How could someone kill the opposing mid laner like a pig in the S finals~” Xika shook his head and suddenly thought of something.

“Turtle, wait a minute! That Little Cream may become the most mysterious mid laner in LPL! The only one who has never been beaten by Ip Man, no one knows what his ceiling is!”

Sun Yalong heard the other party’s ridicule and followed suit: “If we are to talk about the ceiling, it really has to be us, Top Esports, the eternal champion team with the ceiling! I suggest that TES buy Xiaonaiyou next season to add the ceiling!”

The kid Youshen muttered to the side: “It would be better to bet on Rookie to lose to Vietnam at the upper limit this time. Who knows who he can lose to at the lower limit.”

The barrage was filled with the word “filial piety”, and it seemed that some people were really discussing the strength of Xiao Naiancream.

You know what, Ye Bo is really curious about this mid laner who he has never been able to play against.

The scene shifts to the second match of “Top of the Forbidden City”.

All the second-channel live broadcasts were extremely similar, with all of them saying “Oh wow!” “Wow Maya!” “Wow punishment!” “Gift!” and other incredible and stunning scenes!
Even Ye Bo himself felt his blood boiling when he saw that scene again.

That final confrontation, even though it didn’t look difficult to operate, was in fact definitely his most thrilling one.

On to the third game.

The screen changed to the big anchor Doinb, who was looking at Bard who was having a explosive rhythm in front of him, and felt anxious.

“Oh my god, we can’t let this Bard start the rhythm like this, we have to keep an eye on him.”

He and Beryl had no personal grudges.

The main reason was during the transfer period last year, when the big mouth couldn’t control itself and had to say something about Beryl, saying that “mobile games have ruined him, and he can’t even find a job now if he doesn’t work hard.”

But when I turned around, I found that they had already reached the finals!

If DRX wins the championship, he won’t even have to think about it, because what he said before will definitely backfire!
It wasn’t until the mid-game when Bard began to lose his rhythm and the jungler was also wandering around that he became excited again.

“Oh my god, this jungler, how can he follow the support? Even the dumbest jungler should know to follow the mid laner! Right!”

“It’s not that I’m not implying that the anchor is very familiar with EDG’s strawman play! The anchor played it this way in the beginning!”

“What? Who is better, the host or Ip Man? Hey, brother, don’t ask this kind of question. Ip Man is definitely more powerful. The host is old. If it were 19, then…”

The scene suddenly cuts to the final wave of counterattack.

No one would have thought that in such a desperate situation, everyone seemed to have seen the moment of the end.

The opponent actually found a fleeting gap under the sky-covering curtain.

“Sibadaiput!” Imp shouted with full emotion as he watched EZ’s ultimate move without vision hit Nightmare to death.

“What are you talking about! This ultimate has no technical content, I’m telling you! If Dai Put can hit it, how can I not hit it!”

“Oh, that’s all. Stop struggling, Daiput!”

Actually, imp is a good brother of Deft, but he gets anxious all the time because he is teased by the barrage every day that he is “not as good as Deft”.

And when the DRX players arrived at the fountain, everyone seemed to think that the outcome had been decided – the scarecrow from a God’s perspective had already spread his arms on the dark stairs!
“It’s coming!!!”

Imp reacted extremely violently, imitating the Scarecrow with his arms spread out, and watched as his ultimate W flash killed four people.

“Dai Pute is really not good!” Imp leaned over and lit a mosquito coil outside the camera. His expression instantly became extremely arrogant, and his speech was a little unclear: “Tsk ber, let’s change the anchor, he will definitely react!”

The screen cuts again.

Uzi, who has the same ties with Deft, instantly raised his Geodude high and almost threw off his pink headphones. His face was full of excitement as if he thought he was about to hold the trophy.

“Beautiful! This mid laner is so hot!”

“Oh, the main teammate has admitted it, Deft is also okay, he performed really well this time!” After Uzi said this, he also spoke up for him.

“As an AD player, I can empathize with him. To be honest, not many ADCs can accept a support like Beryl, and he can still play like this. If a streamer were to encounter a support like Beryl, he would definitely lose in one game!”

“Okay, the host should also prepare to hold the trophy~~”

As long as he is not on the court, Uzi is like a mature boy, making jokes about himself crazily and not caring at all.

But the most “show effect” was the final LCK commentary desk.

The LCK official commentary desk was screaming wildly one moment, and the next moment the situation suddenly reversed, with everyone screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs and in a state of emotional breakdown!
The scene was filled with outrageous ghost screams that were enough to go down in history and become a classic.

Ye Bo continued to watch other videos. There were so many secondary creations that he couldn’t finish watching them all. The popularity was so high that it was scary!

Moreover, it seems that as long as the words “EDG” and “YE” are added to the title, even if they are just added forcibly, the traffic will be terribly high, starting from millions of views.

The real traffic password!
Some marginal anchors discovered this secret, and the video titles were inexplicably forced to include: “Today Y is a black silk JK senior sister E”.
As for serious videos, they are similar:
“Everyone is equal under Ip Man——YE2022 Global Finals Single Kill Highlights Collection!”

“2022 World Championship Solo Kill Collection (with a high content of leaves)”

《2022 World Championship Finalist Data Chart (Congratulations EDG!)》

《A review of the 12th S-League Championship! Who are the most dominant players and teams in history, SSW? IG? EDG? SKT? The data speaks for itself!》

EDG and YE characters are indispensable in various videos, and their appearance rate is ridiculously high.

The comments below the video are also extremely lively.

[15 kills in 24 games? Huh? ? ?]

[Only 24 times? I think that’s definitely too few! For example, the 1v3 counter-kill of Poseidon didn’t count, right?! On average, it was less than two times per game, and even in the last final, he killed 5 times! ]

[It’s mainly because Chaowei’s B turtle lowered the data, otherwise it would easily break three! ]

[No, what the hell is this six-dimensional diagram? Master Ye’s black hole O swallows everything, right? The data of other people are all balloons and needles? ]

[What is a round mid laner? Master Ye is simply a perfect god! I would like to call him: the perfect round god! ]

[I can only say that data cannot explain everything. For example, the role of Saint Spear cannot be explained by data. But if it is this kind of data, then it is indeed invincible]

[No, is there any buddy who can make Master Ye’s “Career Operation Collection” and “Map Highlights”? I will give you a monthly ticket and two coins! ]

In these secondary creation shots, Ye Bo looks back on his experiences along the way.

My heart is full of emotion and satisfaction.

He just felt that all the efforts he had made seemed to be worth it.

Now Ye Bo is also looking forward to how this “championship documentary” will be presented.
That very night.

Bilbili’s official Weibo account released several announcements in succession, officially announcing the signing of the contract with YE’s live streaming platform!
It topped the Weibo hot search list the moment it was released!
The app is filled with the most grand ceremony imaginable, with push notification pop-ups and large screens almost everywhere, warming up for the upcoming debut.

The entire alliance circle was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

now.

Only EDG boss Ed Zhu, who was sitting in the Shanghai office, looked at the three phone calls that were bombarding him and held his head with a headache.
(End of this chapter)
