At first, it was planned to pay 200,000 yuan in advance.
Then there was a dispute.
Compromise.
Compromise.
Instead, they settled the problem with a fixed salary.
Finally, they discussed the specific amount of the salary.
Someone waved his hand heroically and shouted, "200,000 yuan per month."
In just the blink of an eye, he had brought the problem back to the original point in just a few minutes. It simply made people want to vomit blood.
The other people at the table didn't vomit blood, but their cold, murderous gazes were enough to explain the problem. Even Lin Feng, who had a rough personality, couldn't help but shrink his head.
"W-what? Can't I?"
This kind of question naturally didn't need to be answered with nonsense.
"Just ignore this idiot," Ceng Rui explained to Li Shiyi expressionlessly.
Li Shiyi nodded calmly.
One was an old teammate who had been with Lin Feng for a long time, and the other was a new partner who had been incomparably familiar with him for more than a year. Both of them naturally knew Lin Feng's personality very well. There was no need for any nonsense. They could just ignore him.
But the specific amount of the fixed salary still needed to be resolved.
And so, a dispute inevitably began again.
"How about 3,000?"
Li Shiyi hesitated for a long time before giving his answer.
… …
"3,000?!"
Lin Feng's eyes widened. Half of his body was leaning in front of the table as if to strengthen his momentum.
"That's too little. 20,000!"
Li Shiyi shook his head. "Lin Feng, if you're like this, then there's no way we can talk."
Ceng Rui pondered for a moment. "If I'm not mistaken, the salary of a regular member of an LSPL team should be between 5,000 to 10000, right?"
"An all-star or the ace of a team. It has to be higher," Dou Zi added.
Lin Feng slammed the table again.
"Twenty thousand! I can't go any lower!"
Li Shiyi shook his head again as he continued to be ignored. "That's the salary standard, but when I was just a substitute member of the Alpine Club, my salary was actually only 3,000 yuan. At most, I could occasionally get some small red packets for offline activities like tonight's."
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.
"Pro-players … can their income be so low?"
At the very beginning, when she was still in high school, she was just a substitute leveler in an internet cafe. Although she didn't know much about the income of professional esports players at that time, she assumed that such a high-level expert would definitely make a lot of money.
Li Shiyi smiled bitterly.
"This …"
"It does indeed vary from person to person."
The top of the pyramid would always be the most dazzling, attracting countless gazes. However, not many people would really pay attention to how many people at the bottom of the pyramid were reduced to the background of the green leaves. Some of them were not even green leaves and could only be used as stepping stones.
Ceng Rui thought for a moment, then said with a frown, "Three thousand is really too little."
Indeed, although he only had a salary of 3000 RMB in the Alpine Battle Club, even if you wanted to say that the salary standard was the same, at least the training base of the Alpine Battle Club provided food and lodging, and there was even some extra income to be earned. It wasn't something that could be settled with a simple salary of 3000 RMB.
Furthermore …
Three thousand dollars. It was too shameful and unjustifiable to say such an amount.
When he realized this, Li Shiyi hesitated for a moment before he finally relaxed a little.
"How about 5000 RMB?"
"That's a lot better than when I was in the Alpine Battle Club. It's really enough."
Ceng Rui, Dou Zi, and Tang Bingyao looked at each other.
5000 RMB.
Although it was still too little compared to the previous shocking 200,000 yuan in advance, if one wanted to respect Li Shiyi's will and attitude, then from a practical perspective, it could indeed be regarded as a more suitable number after a compromise.
Just as they were about to subconsciously nod in agreement, another voice rang out at that moment, "That's right.
"8000 RMB."
… …
The one who spoke was Lin Feng.
Ceng Rui raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Lin Feng.
Dou Zi's face also revealed a troubled expression. She wanted to say a few words of advice.
However, Lin Feng's expression was no longer as carefree as before. He looked at Li Shiyi with a serious expression on his face.
"3000 RMB."
"It's for Xiao Meng."
The other members of the NetCube Internet Cafe team were stunned.
Xiao Meng?
Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, Kamiya Saka, and Dou Zi were incomparably shocked and confused to hear such a name come out of Lin Feng's mouth. They didn't know where this name came from.
But at that moment, Li Shiyi's body trembled slightly.
Lin Feng didn't explain to the other teammates first. He just looked at Li Shiyi.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Xiao Meng."
His tone was calm.
But it was filled with unquestionable determination.
Dou Zi seemed to suddenly realize something. She slapped her forehead and whispered, "Xiao Meng is … God Shiyi's little sister?"
Of course, this was not a random guess. Previously, when they were still in the Mountain Internet Cafe, Team Leader Liu from the Alpine Club had used this trick to threaten Li Shiyi. He had reminded Li Shiyi in a sinister tone that he had a sister.
Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, and Kamiya Saka also came to a sudden realization.
Everyone's gazes immediately changed.
Especially Kamiya Saka. Her eyes flashed with incomparable complexity.
It was almost the same line.
However, when the words came out of the mouth of the Alpine Club's Team Leader Liu in the Mountain Internet Cafe, and when it came out of the mouth of a certain someone, even if they both had the intention of "warning" and "threatening", the nature and intention of the words were worlds apart.
Lowering his head, Li Shiyi was silent for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Lin Feng.
"Understood."
"Eight thousand it is."
"I thank you on behalf of Xiao Meng."
The next second, Lin Feng broke into a smile again.
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? You're treating me like an outsider. Back in the team, besides you, I was the closest to Xiao Meng! By the way, Xiao Meng should be in high school soon, right? "
Li Shiyi, who had finally accepted the salary, was relieved. His expression became relaxed again, and he replied with a smile, "
"Yeah.
She's in the third year of middle school.
She used to talk about you all the time. She said she hasn't seen Lin Feng in a long time. "
"Yeah, yeah. Time really flies. I haven't seen her in years, and she's about to become a big girl. Let's call her out for dinner. It's my treat!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Sure. Let's call her next time." Li Shiyi smiled.
The atmosphere at the dinner table finally became lively.
The waiter brought over the steaming hot pot, and plates of ingredients were placed on the table in front of everyone. The sumptuous and mouth-watering dishes finally aroused everyone's appetite. They remembered that they hadn't eaten anything tonight and were already famished. There was no need to be more polite. They picked up their bowls and chopsticks, ready to eat to their heart's content.
Lin Feng was still looking left and right, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Hey, waiter!
Where's the wine?
"Bring some wine first!"
"How can we not drink at a celebratory feast?"
