"Internet Cafe Round of Robin Challenge?"
Lin Feng scratched his head.
"There's a competition right off the bat …"
"Do we have to go to each and every one of them?"
"That's so troublesome."
Lin Feng looked like he was in a difficult position.
To him, smashing up places was quite interesting in itself, and the difficulty was not something he would consider. The only thing that troubled him was that he had to specifically go to one internet cafe after another on such a cold winter day to challenge them.
It was too troublesome.
Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, and the others all had looks of approval on their faces.
But Qian Lu immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and quickly clarified himself.
"No, no, no.
You guys don't have to go to the internet cafes.
"You guys just need to stay in our internet cafe and keep watch."
After listening to Qian Lu's explanation, Lin Feng and the others finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the "Battle Cup" had a very novel competition system. Aside from the "Total Annihilation Award," which was won by the internet cafe team with the most wins, there was another award called the "Steady as Mt. Tai Award."
As the name suggested, this award was won by the team that defeated the most challengers in their own internet cafes.
Qian Lu had signed up for the "Steady as Mount Tai Award" for his Internet Cafe.
For example, for the "Total Annihilation Award," the internet cafes needed to challenge all the other internet cafes one by one. However, for the "Steady as Mount Tai Award," the team only needed to sit in the arena and wait for the other teams to come and challenge them.
That saved them the trouble of going to the internet cafes to cause trouble.
They could just watch over the internet cafes.
"Oh, got it!"
Lin Feng suddenly understood, and he immediately felt happy again.
"That's good!
"Wait for the other internet cafes to find us, then we'll destroy them. It's very simple!"
Ceng Rui, on the other hand, thought of more details. He frowned slightly and looked at Qian Lu.
"Boss Qian, there should be a lot of internet cafes competing for the" Total Annihilation Award, "right?"
Qian Lu nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, I think there should be at least a few dozen."
Ceng Rui asked again,
"That means there will be dozens of Challenge Matches to fight. According to the prize money set for winning each match, even if you can get the Stable as Mount Tai Award, will it be enough for you to break even?"
With just one sentence, he had gotten to the crux of the problem.
Indeed.
No matter how generous the prize money of a city-wide round robin challenge was, it couldn't exceed six digits. According to the previous agreement, Lin Feng's team of five would receive at least 500 dollars for every round they won.
Just as Ceng Rui said, even if Qian Lu won the Steady as Mount Tai Award, he wouldn't be able to earn much. He might even suffer a loss.
Zhang Hao also came to his senses.
"That's right. Boss Qian, why doesn't it seem like there are any benefits to be gained from your business?"
Tang Bingyao also looked at Qian Lu in confusion.
Qian Lu rubbed his hands and laughed dryly.
"Well …"
"Actually, although our Internet Cow Internet Cafe is a small business, I really don't think that we can earn a lot from the competition prize money."
"If you really want to talk about benefits —"
"Of course it won't be on such a small amount of money."
…
In the end, Qian Lu still managed to muddle his way out of this "Battle Cup" internet cafe tournament with a laugh and a vague answer.
But he was a businessman, after all. Looking at his shrewd face, he knew that the owner of the Internet Cow Internet Cafe wouldn't make a loss.
If he wasn't going for the prize money, then he must have some other plan.
"Hey, why do I care so much?"
"Just take the money and do the work!"
Lin Feng waved his hand and casually expressed his opinion.
He didn't care what Old Qian, the owner of this Internet Cow Internet Cafe, was planning at all. He had been bored for the past two days. Now that he could earn money from the competition, it was simply a good thing that came knocking on his door.
The other members of the battle team also looked at each other and nodded their heads.
Indeed, there was no point in thinking too much.
To them, it was nothing more than an internet cafe tournament. If they could even win a high level tournament like the National High School Tournament, this little bit of trouble was really nothing.
According to Qian Lu, the "Battle Cup" round robin challenge wouldn't start until this weekend, which meant that Lin Feng and the others still had about four to five days to prepare.
Ceng Rui rubbed his temples.
"If that's the case …"
"Let's hurry up and train for the next few days."
"Let's get back to our previous teamwork."
Ceng Rui's tone carried a rare hint of fighting spirit.
After all, he had been home on vacation recently, and he was starting to feel a little bored.
…
What Lin Feng and the others didn't expect was that before the round robin challenge of the "Battle Cup" had even begun and they were just about to start their training, they would have to face an opponent first.
On the afternoon of the second day after Lin Feng's team and the owner of the Internet Cow Internet Cafe, Qian Lu, Lin Feng and the rest of the team were about to start their practice when the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.
Qian Lu was the first to walk in, followed by a few young men.
The young men who entered the room looked to be between twenty-one and twenty-five years old. After entering the private room, they glanced at Lin Feng and the others. Each of them had their arms crossed in front of their chests and had a look of contempt on their faces.
They obviously came with ill intentions.
Lin Feng turned around and saw Qian Lu. He waved his hand familiarly.
"Old Qian."
Qian Lu forced a smile.
"Hey, you're ready to start training already?"
"Thank you, thank you …"
Ceng Rui's gaze fell on the young men behind Qian Lu. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Who are they?"
Qian Lu wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained with a dry smile, "Ah … These people … are also regulars of our internet cafe.
"Ah … these few … are also frequent customers of our internet cafe. I heard that you guys are training here, so I brought you here to broaden your horizons."
Broaden their horizons?
Zhang Hao glanced at the people behind Qian Lu and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Boss Qian's words were pretty. Looking at these guys' unfriendly faces, it didn't look like they were just here to "broaden their horizons".
The young man standing closest to Qian Lu had a toothpick in his mouth. He glanced at Lin Feng and the others, then turned to Qian Lu.
"Big Bro Qian, are these the people you invited to be your resident team?"
"Aren't they a little too inexperienced?"
The other young men behind the toothpick-biting young man also chimed in.
"Yeah, they look like a bunch of high school students, right?"
"How strong can a bunch of brats be? Why would they want to form a team?"
"Boss Qian, they're not even willing to come to us. Isn't that funny?"
The toothpick-biting young man at the front looked at Qian Lu again. He revealed a mouthful of slightly yellow teeth and pulled a smile.
"Or do you think they're better than us, Boss Qian?"
Qian Lu's expression didn't change as he smiled amiably.
"Hey, Gang-zi, don't put it that way."
"What are you talking about? Do you think I don't know how strong you guys are? We didn't agree on the remuneration at that time. If you guys aren't satisfied with the price, I won't be able to afford it even if I offer a higher price. "
The toothpick-biting young man named Gangzi smirked.
"Big Bro Qian, it's not that we're asking for a high price, but you get what you pay for —"
"Did these students accept the price you offered?"
As he spoke, Gangzi turned to look at Lin Feng and the others. A trace of ridicule flashed across his face. He then turned back to Qian Lu and smiled.
"It's cheap for you to find this group of students to stay here."
"But can he control the situation better than us?"
