Lin Feng had changed the topic, and Li Shiyi's memories had been stirred up. That was why the two of them had been chatting happily for so long. But now that the topic had returned, and with Dou Zi and Tang Bingyao's reminder, Li Shiyi finally remembered what he was here for.
"I can't accept the 200,000."
When Li Shiyi said these words, he was looking at Lin Feng in a serious manner. He sounded extremely determined.
The other members of the NetCube Internet Cafe team were stunned when they heard that. They looked at Li Shiyi in unison, and they couldn't help but show astonishment on their faces.
200,000 …
I can't accept it?
"Why?!"
Lin Feng was the first to react. He asked directly. His face was full of confusion. Then, he added, "You're right.
"This is the deposit I paid you in the first place."
"If you don't want it … then who?"
However, Li Shiyi only shook his head at Lin Feng's question.
"How you deal with it is up to you. I don't care, but I can't accept the money."
His tone was firm.
Lin Feng frowned. "Shiyi!"
Li Shiyi didn't wait for Lin Feng to say anything else. He looked at Lin Feng's face and said, "Lin Feng, don't try to persuade me. I'm serious. You and everyone else have done so much for me tonight. I'm very grateful. If you still want me to accept these two hundred thousand dollars, then I really don't know what to do." Lin Feng nodded.
"What's there to not know?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, his face showing a bit of dissatisfaction. "This money was originally to save up for your recruitment fee. That's why we spent it on each and every internet cafe. If you don't take it, who else will? Besides, it's only right and proper for a team to pay a recruitment fee. Why are you thinking so much?"
Dou Zi also tried to persuade him.
"That's right, that's right. God Eleven, please accept this money."
"We've been working so hard for this. If you don't accept it, then all our efforts will be in vain."
Li Shiyi shook his head, his tone becoming more and more sincere.
"I'm very grateful that you guys have done so much for me.
But the more it is like this, the more I can't accept the money. To be honest, tonight, with your help, I was able to recognize what I really want and make the decision to leave the Alpine Club. That's already my biggest reward.
"If it wasn't for you —"
"Maybe I really have to continue muddling along in the Mountain Team. That's the scariest thing."
…
At this point, Li Shiyi's mood seemed to be affected again, and he could not help but sigh with emotion.
Indeed.
For a professional player, the scariest thing wasn't just the lack of salary and benefits, but the loss of the heart to continue working hard for their eSports dreams. For the past few years in the Alpine Club, he had chosen to compromise with reality for the sake of his sister and for the sake of his life. Although he still had that belief deep in his heart, his fighting spirit and fighting spirit had gradually dimmed as time passed.
If it wasn't for Lin Feng and the others appearing in front of him tonight, perhaps after a period of time, he would have completely assimilated into the atmosphere of the High Mountain Battle Team Club. He would have completely become a dejected and numb member of the club, waiting to die.
That was the scariest thing for a professional esports player.
After sighing, Li Shiyi looked at Lin Feng again and said in a serious tone,
"So, Lin Feng, you've already given me enough help."
"I'm already very grateful that you're willing to let me, a current LSPL substitute level player who is no longer at the level of strength I had in the past, join your new team, but I really don't deserve that kind of value now. If you force me to accept it, I'll be the one feeling uneasy."
At this point, he had already made it very clear.
And it did make sense.
After all, in terms of strength, the current Li Shiyi was far from being comparable to his peak state back then. It was quite difficult to say that he was at the LSPL level, and his value couldn't be so high.
On the other hand, in terms of contribution to the team, he had just become a member of someone's new team, so he shouldn't easily accept this huge sum of 200,000 yuan.
But even so, even if he understood the reason, Lin Feng still frowned and was quite dissatisfied.
"But you can't not take a single cent."
"Now that you've left the High Mountain Club, you have no source of income. You can't join our new team for nothing, right?"
"Even if an ordinary professional player joined the team, it wouldn't be to the extent of not taking anything."
At this moment, Ceng Rui suddenly spoke up.
"Lin Feng and God Eleven, both of you have a point."
"As for God Eleven's side, if he were to really take 200,000, he might feel bad about it, right?"
"But Lin Feng is also right. Whether it's from the perspective of income or the formal recruitment of professional teams, they can't let their members work for nothing."
"So —"
Ceng Rui paused for a moment and looked at Li Shiyi and Lin Feng, who were both looking at him. He smiled and calmly explained his plan.
"Why don't we make a compromise?
"Cancel this so-called 200,000 yuan deposit and re-establish a fixed salary for God Eleven. From now on, the first month will be counted. From now on, a fixed salary will be given every month. If he doesn't perform well, his salary will naturally be deducted. If he contributes more, he can also get a raise. What do you think?"
As soon as he said this, Tang Bingyao and Dou Zi's eyes lit up. The girl nodded vigorously in strong agreement, and Dou Zi even slapped her thigh.
"Hey, I think this is a good idea!"
Ceng Rui smiled and looked at Lin Feng and Li Shiyi.
"What do you two think?"
Li Shiyi was slightly tempted. Indeed, for him, after leaving the High Mountain Club, his only source of income would be cut off. Although taking 200,000 yuan as a deposit from Lin Feng would make his conscience uneasy and he would not be able to accept it, if it was the current proposal of distributing it according to a fixed monthly salary …
He would also have a new source of income.
He wouldn't be taking it without doing anything.
Whether it was from a subjective perspective or an objective perspective, the problem could be solved perfectly.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shiyi looked at Lin Feng again.
"Lin Feng?"
He was asking for Lin Feng's opinion. As for himself, he had already tacitly agreed to this idea.
"Oh, if that's the case …" Lin Feng rubbed his chin and thought for a while, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Alright! That's it! Ah, Ceng, you really have a good idea! "
The problem was finally solved.
The conflict just now had finally reached a win-win outcome.
When Ceng Rui heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright."
"Then all that's left is to think about how much God Eleven's fixed salary will be."
Lin Feng's eyes widened. "Is there even a need to think about it?"
Ceng Rui was startled. "You've thought about it?"
The others, including Li Shiyi, also looked at Ceng Rui curiously. They wanted to know what the final salary figure would be like.
Then …
Under the gazes of the crowd, Ye Zichen
Ceng Rui waved his hand.
"It's simple!
"As for the monthly salary, it's 200,000!"
