Lin Feng opened up a new chat window and saw a message from Tian Tian.
"Lin Feng, are you there?"
Lin Feng smiled and typed back, "Yes." Then he excitedly asked about the news he had just received from Shi Hang.
"Hey, I heard from Old Shi that the Japanese clubs are looking for you too? They even offered you a high salary. What's going on? "
Tian Tian was stunned for a moment before answering honestly, "Oh … Yeah, they're looking for me.
"Oh … there's a club over there that came to me. One club offered 8 million, and the other offered 20 million for a two-year contract. They said that the price is negotiable —"
Twenty million for two years!
Lin Feng gasped.
No wonder Shi Hang had such an envious tone. Twenty million over two years meant an average net worth of ten million per year. An eight-digit contract was definitely an astronomical sum in the esports circle.
However, this was understandable. In today's professional esports circle, although the average second and third-rate players only earned a monthly salary of ten or twenty thousand, the few players who could truly stand at the top of the pyramid had a frightening net worth.
In the previous season, Fate's mid laner "Moon Emperor" Moon's contract in the Korean server had just expired. At that time, Dust- Dust Club in the Chinese server had the intention of poaching him. They directly offered a one-year contract of 18 million RMB in an attempt to recruit him. Although they didn't succeed in the end, that offer still caused quite a stir in the esports circle.
By the end of the S6 season, the value of these top players would only be higher than last year. Some people estimated that each of the Four Kings of Esports was worth at least twenty million.
Although Tian Tian couldn't be compared to the Yonkō (Four Emperors), he was currently recognized as having the strength of the Seven Kings and could almost be called the top player in the world, so it was reasonable for him to be offered a recruitment contract of 20 million RMB for two years.
"What happened after that?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
Tian Tian replied very naturally, "I rejected it in the end. I'm still busy preparing for this year's World Finals — and by next year, Lin Feng, aren't your team going to be formed soon —"
His words sounded like it was a matter of course.
But if the details of the information leaked out, it would be enough to shock the entire national server and even the entire world's professional esports circle. Could it be that the strongest professional top laner, King's ace, already had new plans for next year's season …?
Replied Tian Tian very quickly. Lin Feng also looked at him with a natural expression.
The relationship between him and Fatty had long since passed the stage of being polite and courteous. Five million, ten million, or even twenty million, this kind of contract price would make outsiders extremely envious and jealous. In an ordinary battle team, it was enough to make close friends and teammates turn against each other, but —
For him and Tian Tian.
None of this was worth mentioning.
Back then, when I was at my lowest point, you stood up and pulled me back onto the world's highest professional esports arena, obtaining glory that I had never imagined. Now, it's my turn to work hard for you.
Back then, you were my teammate, my most trusted comrade, and you are still the same now.
It has never changed.
…
"Right —"
Lin Feng suddenly realized that Tian Tian wasn't looking for him on QQ because of the Japanese club's offer. His curiosity was piqued.
"Fatty, why are you looking for me?"
Tian Tian was also interrupted by Lin Feng. Only now did he remember.
"Oh, oh, I also wanted to talk about the Japanese side."
"In the past two days, the Japanese clubs have offered me a contract price, but I rejected them. Later, when I was chatting with the manager of King's team, he revealed something to me."
"It's said that … it seems like there are a few newly established teams in Japan. In addition to signing contracts to poach people, there are also two teams that are preparing to go to Korea for exchange and learning —"
Lin Feng nodded. "Yeah, I heard about that."
Tian Tian's next message caught Lin Feng off guard.
"Also, there are actually two Japanese clubs who are privately discussing with a few of our Chinese LPL teams about coming over for an exchange program."
"And … it seems like they're almost done."
Japanese clubs …
Coming to China for an exchange program?
Lin Feng was stunned. Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
They're really coming?!
He suddenly remembered his conversation with Sakura on the European server. At that time, he guessed that the other party might also be a professional player from one of the Japanese clubs. At that time, Sakura expressed his intention to come to China for an exchange program. But at that time, Lin Feng was just listening to him. He didn't expect to actually get such accurate information from Tian Tian.
So …
Is it really Sakura's club that's coming?
Lin Feng subconsciously rubbed his chin, then shook his head. He felt that this matter might not be so coincidental, because he and Sakura had only been chatting for the past two days. How could the Club make such a decision so carelessly and immediately?
In other words, if Sakura was a professional player from the club, then with such an identity, it was unlikely that he would directly make a decision for the club's top management.
Such a big matter must be decided by the club's manager or even the owner.
But …
Lin Feng revealed a pensive look. He could go to the European server and ask Sakura to see if he had any more accurate information on the matter.
…
It was already Saturday.
The students of the Shanghai University of Finance & Economics welcomed a beautiful weekend as they wished. The local students who were not studying went home to prepare for a good rest, while the students and girls who lived in the dormitory arranged to go shopping in the city in twos and threes. Other than accompanying the girls, the boys stayed in the dormitory or went straight to the internet cafe to participate in the battle in Summoner's Canyon.
Lin Feng continued to hole up in the dormitory with his three roommates from room 504, playing games.
After lunch, after returning to the dormitory, the members of room 504 were in high spirits, preparing to continue playing games to increase their score. On one side, Qiu Le had already created a room and was recruiting people. On the other side, Lin Feng opened a web browser and casually browsed the League of Legends Tieba forum.
Then, he saw an extremely popular information post. The post had more than three million views, and the number of replies had exceeded five thousand within half an hour of the post being posted.
New movement in the Japanese professional esports circle! A club has reached an agreement with the local LPL team and will soon arrive in Shanghai!
Just the title alone was enough to attract people's attention.
In the post, the original poster, who seemed to have a lot of inside information, revealed some ambiguous information. He said that the information was absolutely reliable, but the exact number of Japanese teams that would be coming for the exchange was uncertain. What was certain was that Dust- Dust, God- Hand of God, and King had all received a letter of intent from the Japanese clubs.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
According to what he heard from Tian Tian, King had tactfully declined the Japanese club's request for an exchange because King had to prepare for the upcoming world finals. He didn't have time to waste on this sort of thing.
Team God would probably have the same attitude.
Most likely …
Dust- Dust, the team that didn't make it to the S6 world finals this year.
"Hey, Lin Feng, come into the room!"
Qiu Le urged. Lin Feng didn't respond for a long time, so he couldn't help but get up and walk over to take a look. "What are you doing? Oh, browsing Tieba. The Japanese club wants to come to China for an exchange? Didn't they just say they went to Korea? This is big news! "
Qiu Le shouted in surprise, and Feng Tao also turned his head around.
"That post? I saw it too."
"I don't know if it's true or not, but —"
Feng Tao paused, a strange expression on his face.
"Speaking of which, I heard our class secretary mention that there will be some foreign students transferring to our major in a few days."
"Seems like …"
"It's a bunch of Japanese."
