Li Yang: "Of course I do. The thing I’m least afraid of is competition. I hope my opponents put up a fight, and not just get beaten by us three to zero. To be honest, in the six matches I’ve played, the game ended before I even had a chance to do anything."
Viewers watching the interview video all commented the same: "You’re really full of it!"
Li Yang’s college entrance exam results couldn’t be hidden; many people directly posted them online, even finding out that Li Yang was a top scorer.
Even those like Li Likun and Xue Ning, who had no interest in gaming at all, were told about this within two days by people around them.
After getting a call, Li Likun started going to internet cafes.
Seeing a young man playing a game, he asked: "Young man, what’s the name of this game?"
"LOL, gramps, you want to play too?"
"I’m kind of interested... How about you teach me? I’ll cover your internet fees and meal costs..."
...
Wang Manqi in Capital City knew about it three days ago.
Because many boys and girls in the class played games, they directly shared the related video in the group chat.
Li Yang!
Professional player!
Of course, she wasn’t interested in that; she cared about the prize money.
The championship has a prize of one million US dollars!
Even if five players split it, each gets two hundred thousand dollars, which is nearly 1.4 million.
The main thing is that Li Yang is incredibly famous now!
This fame represents money.
She had looked up information recently and found out that the annual salary of esports players is not low, especially for the top tier, which can reach five to six million a year.
Not to mention they can sign streaming contracts, all starting from tens of millions.
"I just got news that Li Yang’s family is just an ordinary one; his parents used to work on construction sites."
"Some people even said his family was very poor."
"But now Li Yang’s whole family has hit the big time! Even if he doesn’t win the championship, just his status at Jing University can bring him several million or even tens of millions in earnings. If he wins the championship... haha, it could multiply tenfold!"
Wang Manqi looked at a comment from a boy in the group chat.
What’s ten times a million?
Ten million!
And what about me?
For the sake of two hundred thousand, I turned away a Jing University student worth over a billion.
If the previous Li Yang made her feel a lack of security because he wasn’t particularly rich.
What about now?
He’s simply the most perfect boyfriend in the world.
Opening her mobile app, looking at the two hundred thousand balance in her account.
She hadn’t even had the chance to spend it, after all, she just got it a few days ago.
She never thought that getting money could make her feel so uncomfortable.
She immediately withdrew the money and took it to the hotpot restaurant.
"Hello, I’d like to see your boss lady."
About ten minutes later, Song Yu arrived.
The moment Wang Manqi saw Song Yu, she felt a bit ashamed.
Because Song Yu was beautiful and elegant.
Song Yu smiled at her, and said: "Is there something you need from me?"
Wang Manqi handed over the two hundred thousand, saying, "This is the money you gave me, I haven’t spent a cent, I’m returning it to its rightful owner, I’m sorry."
Song Yu smiled: "Young lady, you should understand one thing very clearly, once you took the money that day, there was no turning back. Maybe you found out about Li Yang’s current situation, knowing he has greater potential, but... you should keep this two hundred thousand, because the things you’ve lost can’t be reclaimed. You won’t regain what’s regrettable, only experience pain."
Song Yu also had a shock when she found out Li Yang was still a professional player.
Especially considered he was one of the world’s top players.
