Chapter 184 Growth and separation, the transfer period is about to begin!
“This is how I plan to design the recall action!”

“Ornn’s ultimate special effects are the best, right? Hey, Jhin, what do you think? If you want to use your ultimate, it should be to headbutt your pig. Isn’t that cool?”

“I don’t care. I just want the model! I’ve already drawn the sketch. Look!”

“Fuck, the factory manager will definitely beat you to death if he sees you.”

The five-member EDG team gathered in the voice channel, chattering with the design team sent from Riot headquarters.

Everyone expressed their ideas and the designer asked them one by one.

“YE player, are you really not going to consider Sylas?” The designer couldn’t help but recommend him again.

“To be honest, our team has a very interesting idea for Silas. Although the workload is huge, I believe it is very likely to become one of the top-selling models. We have been waiting for the opportunity.”

“And as I just said, starting this year, the FMVP champion skin will get an additional “Prestige” color. This is the first champion Prestige in our history~”

This is also news that has not yet been announced to the public.

Starting from the S12 season, Riot will add an additional Ultimate Color exclusively for FMVP to further highlight that “personal honor” is not just a title.

However, Ye Bo only became more certain after hearing the news.

“That’s all right.”

“Sylas’ skin. I’ll try to get it next year!”

The designer looked at the simultaneous interpretation on the computer and was stunned for two seconds before he came to his senses.

The video immediately showed the standard European and American surprised expression with the face raised, and people were amazed at the words of such “youthful and vigorous” people.

However, when the designer looked at the boy in the camera, there was no arrogance in his clear eyes.

It seemed that it was just pure and firm self-confidence.

“Okay, but your ideas about Akali are also very special. It can be seen that you really understand this hero.” The designer showed a meaningful smile.

After collecting skin opinions, the design team withdrew from the voice.

The EDG members continued to chat in the voice channel.

“I say, Zhao Lijie, you stingy guy, why did you only give Master Ye two governors, but there are five factory directors!” Meiko teased.

“Who’s the gambler between me and Master Ye? Brother Holy Spear is the only one on the field!” Jiejie shifted his firepower.

“Hey, hey, hey, I just bought a house and my small stash is a bit tight. I will make up for it to Master Ye when the bonus comes out. Don’t run away then!”

Everyone talked about the interesting things that happened in the past few days and discussed the content of Ye Bo’s live broadcast just now.

The atmosphere is quite cozy.

But when we asked Viper when he would go home and everyone got together, we suddenly started talking about next season.

“Speaking of Xian, have you decided which team to join?” Meiko said in a calm voice.

Viper did not hide anything from his brothers and said frankly: “There are many choices. It should be among GEN, DK, and HLE. But if I have to choose, I may prefer GEN.”

“GEN has a greater influence in LCK, so it may be easier for them to compete for a spot in the Asian Games, and their lineup is also good.”

“I heard that Ruler is coming to China. They are in urgent need of AD right now, so they are offering a lot of money.”

Viper only looks mature, but he is actually a typical post-00s generation and is now at the age of rushing forward.

Therefore, even though he already has two crowns, he still has great momentum, so the priority of team lineup considerations will inevitably be higher.

Meiko hummed softly.

He has had many AD teammates, but apart from “Succubus” Deft, the one he has the best relationship with is Viper – after all, they reached the peak together.

Unlike Viper, Meiko doesn’t have too much obsession with this.

“Jiejie and I will probably stay with the team. Coach Abu just contacted me and said the boss will try to match any offers from outside for us.”

What Ye Bo didn’t know was.

Just when he was broadcasting live, there was already a heated discussion within EDG.

Meiko seemed a little hesitant.

But in the end he still said: “Master Ye and Brother Shengqiang, you two have to figure it out, especially Master Ye.”

“As far as I know, the financial situation of our club is not very good this year, so it is unlikely that they will offer high prices to all of us. And for the AD position, we may have to promote a cheap rookie from the second team.”

“Didn’t we win the championship?” Ye Bo asked doubtfully, “Will we still be short of money after winning the championship?”

“I don’t know much about business. Although e-sports clubs have a great influence, their profitability has always been worrying. We are the only one in the entire LPL that is not losing money. And this time I heard that something happened to Boss Zhu’s family.”

Ye Bo knew nothing about business and did not ask any further questions.

Li Xuanjun said nonchalantly, “It’s okay. At most I’ll take a year off next year to make room for new players. I’ve been playing for so many years, I’m so tired.”

“Ah? Brother Saint Spear, are you going to retire?” Ye Bo widened his eyes.

Speaking of getting along well with others, with Ye Bo’s extroverted personality, he gets along quite well with everyone.

Relatively speaking, he and Jiejie are of similar age and have more common topics. They are also mid-jungle positions, so they have more contact in daily life.

But when it comes to the relationship between teammates, there is no doubt that the relationship with my “roommate” for the past six months, Brother Saint Spear, is definitely the strongest.

“How is that possible!” Li Xuanjun explained quickly, but did not explain more.

Li Xuanjun is a sensible person.

As soon as I heard the news that Meiko accidentally revealed, I understood some things.

Just as Meiko said, since the financial situation this year is not optimistic——————and Li Xuanjun is very clear that his “positioning” is very embarrassing.

In terms of honors, he is the only domestic champion top laner in LPL, and the only top laner to win two championships!
No matter what, he should and must deserve the top salary.

But if we talk about performance, Li Xuanjun is very clear that the cost-effectiveness of getting the maximum salary is not high.

And since Abramovich has already found Meiko to discuss contract renewal, the fact that he has not come to him yet actually says something.

Li Xuanjun is currently at the end of his career and is also suffering from injuries.

He needs to think more about himself.

Ye Bo didn’t think too much about it. He just breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Oh my god, I was scared to death.”

“Then don’t worry, Brother Saint Spear. You are undoubtedly the best domestic top laner in history! You can definitely find a job easily!”

Li Xuanjun laughed silently, but felt warm in his heart.

It is well known that Ye Bo is very poor at comforting people.

This expression of recognition obviously comes from the other party’s heart, and of course it is the best recognition for him.

No matter what outsiders say, the recognition of his teammates is more important to him.

“Master Ye, you should think more about yourself. Your career has just begun. If our team…

Li Xuanjun stopped there.

Ye Bo was not a fool either, and he nodded lightly.

He knew what the other party meant, which was that there was a high probability that he would not stay in EDG.

In this way, even if he is willing to lower his own price, the original EDG team will only have Jiejie and Meiko left.

“Oh, no more, no more.”

“This isn’t a life-and-death separation, why are you being so sad? It’s just a meeting!”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Bo started to liven up the atmosphere.

“Now that Viper has returned to China, we are no longer good brothers. Maybe in two years the club will have money again and buy us five back~~~”

“Yeah, we’re all in Shanghai anyway, so you can come visit anytime.”

“Master Ye can eat skewers, but Brother Qiang is not allowed to eat skewers! I will seriously suspect that you are here to eat for free!”

“It’s okay. Maybe when Master Ye and I leave, the chef team will also leave. Then you will have to eat in the cafeteria again~”

Before everyone parted, they agreed to get together again before Viper left.

After turning off the screen, Ye Bo began to think about his future.

Seeing the grand occasion of today’s live broadcast room and the IDs that he also knew a little bit about, Ye Bo knew that he would not be short of work.
The phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID is [7777777]

“Wow! Director, you are still awake so late.”

Ming Kai, who had deliberately waited for Ye Bo to go off the air, couldn’t help but smile when he heard the cheerful voice in the microphone.

He really likes this boy. That’s why he did what he just did.

“Are you still asleep? I knew you go to bed at 12 o’clock.”

“I want to talk to you about next season.”

Ye Bo could probably guess the other party’s purpose: “Well, tell me.”

“It’s like this. We have just started the contract renewal process internally. The current decision is…”

As soon as Mingkai came on stage, he laid out the entire plan that the club had discussed half an hour ago, during Ye Bo’s live broadcast.

There is no concealment at all.

This is basically what Meiko just said. Obviously, even if he had held back from saying it, Mingkai would not have concealed it.

The result is probably——————

Ask Meiko and Jiejie for their opinions and let them choose freely whether to go out and contact other teams.

If he doesn’t leave, EDG will do its best to match their standard maximum salary market price.

From the scene that was just broadcast live, Ed Zhu once again witnessed with his own eyes the determination of all the other teams.

He knew very well that with the funds he had now, it would be impossible to protect everyone!

Therefore, letting Golem go and bringing in a new AD player from the second team to save money is something that must be done in the first place.

Just because, if the whole team is retained according to the standard market price.

The minimum salary of the entire EDG team must be over 100 million!

“This season the league is going to start implementing the salary cap system, which is different for everyone and is all customized.”

Mingkai explained to Ye Bo patiently.

“Among them, the core players who have won the world-class events of the year, that is, the MSI and S-League champions, will be rated as S-level. On this basis, the players’ actual performance will be evaluated.”

“Therefore, the maximum salary of our team is very exaggerated. If all the contracts are renewed, even if other teams do not engage in price wars, it will still be a terrifying number, and we may even have to pay luxury tax.”

“And your evaluation result is higher than all four of them. Even much higher, even though you only have one championship.”

What Mingkai said was true, but he did not go into details.

Just directly report a few exaggerated numbers.

Ye Bo asked some inner questions.

Mingkai on the opposite side was silent for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

“I knew you would say that, so I came here to advise you, don’t do that.”

“First of all, even if you take a pay cut to stay on the team, it will be difficult for us to find an AD to put together a championship-winning lineup. Most importantly, it’s unfair to Xuanjun, Tianye, and Jiejie. If you take a pay cut, they have to take a pay cut too, otherwise we will still have to pay a sky-high luxury tax.”

“Xuanjun doesn’t have many years left in his career. We let him go because we don’t want him to be delayed. He deserves a better contract.” After hearing this, Ye Bo realized that he was indeed a bit of a novice in business.

Many things are not as simple as he thinks.

“So what does the club mean now?” Ye Bo asked.

Mingkai also answered simply and directly, his voice gentle: “The club’s intention is very simple, let you go out and contact other teams first. If you find a lineup you like, then feel free to join.”

“Even if you leave, EDG will always be your home. I promise.”

“If you can’t find a suitable team outside,” Mingkai smirked, “but that’s almost impossible, because no team can refuse you to join.”

“But if it really happens, then you can come back. Boss Zhu said he will do his best to keep a contract for you.”

In fact, reality is not as smooth as Mingkai expressed.

Because this is obviously not the choice that is most in line with EDG’s interests – it can even be said that this is a “very unprofitable” choice for EDG.

Everyone knows that if only the jungler and support are left from the original team, next year’s results will be completely unknown, and the probability is that they will be bad unknowns.

But EDG is still willing to give the jungler and support the maximum salary.

Because these are the veterans of the two teams, the jungler and support chose to stay without any hesitation after hearing the decision.

As for Ye Bo, that is the real key.

In fact, at the beginning, the most important thought was of course to try our best to keep Ye Bo.

Ed Zhu naturally knew very well that as long as he could keep Ye Bo!

Even if EDG’s performance plummets next year.

Even the new top laner and AD are all invisible and no one cares about them.

As long as Ye Bo is there, EDG will definitely still be the most popular traffic team next year!
But when Ed Zhu found Mingkai to discuss this matter, Mingkai immediately gave a firm opinion.

“Boss, I really don’t think this is a good idea.”

“We all know Ye Bo’s talent. His future is unimaginable. Next year is the most critical year for him!”

“Even if he joins a new team, he still has the EDG stamp on him. Everyone will still say ‘Icelander’ or ‘Jinshaner’ when they see him. They all know that he is from EDG!”

“Even if we spend a huge amount of money to keep him for one year, what will we get in return? Will his career go downhill? What about the year after that?”

“If our team is really having difficulties right now and we can’t give him the best lineup, we might as well let him go.”

The relationship between Ed Zhu and Ming Kai is definitely not just a simple employee relationship.

In the original words of Ed Zhu: EDG is the team he founded for Mingkai.

This is why MingKai is the first player in the world to hold shares in a club, even before Faker and T1.

So Mingkai’s words had a great impact on him.

Besides, what Mingkai said does make sense.

Even if they really spent all they could to keep Ye Bo, risking a year of “Waterloo”, it would only be this one year.

It’s hard to say what will happen next year, the year after, or the year after that.

Since the current situation is not optimistic, it is better to let Ye Bo go out and explore the world and preserve this precious relationship.

If in the future, when conditions permit, we can welcome him back, potentially “full of honors”, would it be a better outcome?

Ed Zhu soon figured it out.

Of course, Mingkai would not tell Ye Bo this.

But Ye Bo naturally knew in his heart that this was definitely not a good decision for EDG.

“I understand, Director.” Ye Bo said softly.

Mingkai on the other end showed a relieved expression: “Well, don’t resist contacting them. We will release the news tomorrow, and the transfer period will start in a few days. You will be very busy then.”

“As I said before, no matter where you are, EDG will always be your home.”

“We will be filming some more footage for the documentary later. We can all get together and send Xian off together then.”

“Ah.”

Hang up.

Ye Bo looked at the wall in front of him and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of “growth”.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he was casually comforting everyone in the voice channel just now, saying “It’s not a life-and-death separation, it’s just a transfer~”

But for Ye Bo, EDG is the place where he made his debut, the place where he won his first meaningful championship, and his first official teammates.

But he now knows that in reality everyone has many problems to consider.

He understands everything.

But when I think about this, I still feel a little depressed.

Ye Bo suddenly wanted to find someone to chat with.

So, he entered the pot.

The place where it appears this time is the jungle camp, the location of each teleportation, and also the location of the hero.

Akali was sitting on the head of the Crimson Tree Monster, gently lifting her legs, and it was unknown what she was thinking about. But when she saw Ye Bo’s appearance, her pupils brightened up.

The tone sounded the same cold and calm: “You’re here, don’t you want to train today?”

“I’ll be there soon!”

Ye Bo’s mood suddenly seemed to improve, and he started chatting with the other party: “By the way, you know the skin design I thought of for you, and the clothes are from my imagination. I wonder how he will draw them. As for the weapons…”

Akali supported her lower chin with one hand, said nothing, and just watched the other person nagging quietly.

Even though, she had actually just “heard” the other party communicating with the designer.

But I listened to it again quietly.

“How is it! Do you like it?” Ye Bo shook his head with a smug look on his face, almost putting his hands on his hips.

“I like it.” A simple and clear voice replied.

“Hehe, I’m kind of looking forward to the finished product. I just hope the designer doesn’t ruin it for me.”

Akali still didn’t speak.

She just jumped down from the head of the scarlet tree monster and walked over, her figure was light and graceful. She conjured up a bowl of ramen from somewhere and handed it over.

“When you feel down, have a bowl of ramen.”

“Okay,” Ye Bo took it and put it in his mouth without thinking.

“When I finished killing people, I was in a bad mood. I ate a bowl of ramen and I felt better.”

“.”

Ye Bo’s noodles were stuck in the air, and he said incoherently: “This is a #% cold joke@, right?”

“If you say yes, then it is.”

The two of them walked to the cliff of Xiaolongkeng.

Akali jumped lightly onto the cliff wall, but the angle was obviously a bit strange. Ye Bo just raised his head to follow the figure, and quickly turned his head to divert his gaze!
Akali looked down at Ye Bo who was still awkwardly sitting there, with a helpless expression on her face.

“You’ve been learning from me for so long, you’re so stupid. And this is your world, just jump.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Bo leaped hard and actually “flew” onto the wall.

The two of them sat on the edge of the cliff with their legs dangling side by side, looking at the ocean dragon sleeping in the center of the dragon pit below.

“So, Akali, what do you think I should choose?”

Ye Bo still asked this question, even though he didn’t think the other party could give him any answer.
“I don’t know,” Akali shook her head. “But I hope you haven’t forgotten your original dream and goal.”

When she said this, she seemed to become a little emotional. Perhaps this was also what she was thinking about when she just came in.

“I have a teacher in the Order of the Balance. She is not tall and is a Yodel, but she is very knowledgeable and smart. She taught me a lot.”

“Everyone thought that I made a wrong choice by not taking over my mother’s responsibility as the ‘Fist of Shadow’. Only she made me believe in myself and pursue my dreams and goals.”

“So I became a thorn in the side, and I have never regretted my choice.”

“Towards my dreams and goals, at least I am happy every day.”

“I hope you do the same.”

Ye Bo listened to the other party’s story and fell into deep thought.

What was your original dream and goal?

There was silence in the air for a long time.

Ye Bo suddenly stood up.

“I’m going to train! Training is the most important thing!”

Akali looked up at him.

The crimson cherry eyes flickered like moonlight falling into a deep pool.

“By the way, when did I tell you that I like to go barefoot? It’s inconvenient to assassinate without shoes.”

“.It’s time! I really have to go to training! See you tomorrow!!”

It was exactly twelve o’clock when Ye Bo left the pot.

He felt that perhaps he was just thinking too much.

He is not strong enough yet, and there is still a lot that can be improved.

My goal and dream has always been to become the best player in Summoner’s Rift and to work hard for every championship, not anything else.

Shaking off all distractions, Ye Bo stepped into the trial field.

And it was in the early morning.

EDG began to spread the news to the outside world, confirming that EDG had given up the “1+1” priority clause for player YE.

All the forces that learned about this were extremely shocked at first. Then they were filled with extreme ecstasy!
Those who had already crawled into bed climbed out immediately, those who were still drinking and having fun immediately cleared the room and started making phone calls, and the offices of several clubs had already started to get busy.

Various actions have been launched.

Some started to raise funds, some were thinking of various attractive additional conditions, and some were thinking of “finding another way”.
at the same time.

The transfer window opened in advance by LCK was officially lifted at 12 noon.

For some popular contestants, their mobile phones began to receive information from multiple sources at just a moment of 12:0.

Some players who are waiting for news will also officially begin to think about the future of next season.

At this moment, Beyrl, who was still staying up late to play the map at 2:, suddenly caught a glimpse of his mobile phone, which had been silent all the time, and the screen lit up.

He picked it up and glanced at it out of habit, not intending to pay any attention to it.

Suddenly, I saw several familiar words.

He pressed ESC to pause, picked it up and took a closer look——then quickly exited, opened the chat software, found the target, and quickly sent a voice message.

“Brother Hekui, are you asleep?”
