God Level Summoner Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Like-minded
The Canglan team members packed their bags and left the club the next time . This was the ultimate result of the struggle and everyone felt uncomfortable . However, many people had reached the age of retirement . Plus, their own gaming level was average . It was really time to find another path .
Li Cangyu sent them away one by one, although he couldn't help feeling a hint of sourness in his heart .
The nature of a compet.i.tion was cruel . Some people would win and others would lose . The end of the Canglan team was tragic . Fortunately, a few teammates found good jobs . As captain of the team, he could feel a bit more at ease .
At noon, Li Cangyu ushered in a surprise visitor . It was Liu Chuan, manager of the Dragon Song team .
Liu Chuan was less than 30 years old and was currently the youngest team manager in China . He was also an e-sports player . He created the Dragon Song team and led the team to win the championship . After retiring, he naturally became the person behind the Dragon Song Club and was also invited to join the E-sports Alliance as the executive director . In the domestic e-sports circle, he was a famous and promising person .
This person was always looking at the long term . It was the reason why Li Cangyu chose to cooperate with him .
Today, Liu Chuan was wearing a handsome khaki long trench coat over a simple white shirt . Just looking at his figure, he was definitely the level of a model . However, there were big sungla.s.ses on his face as well as a mask, ensuring his face was tightly covered .
Li Cangyu laughed at the sight and asked, “Dressing like this, were you chased by the paparazzi?”
Liu Chuan took off his sungla.s.ses and spoke helplessly . “The Dragon Song team just won the championship . The e-sports reporters have been blocking the entrance of the team for the past few days . I had to dress like this to sneak out . ”
One of them was the manager of a championship club while the other was a desperate captain who just experienced the disbandment of his team . This strong contrast seemed to show Li Cangyu's failure .
But Li Cangyu showed no signs of inferiority or distress . He made a calm 'please' gesture and smiled . “Come in and chat . I didn't think that one day, I would actually be talking to you about cooperating . ”
“I didn't expect it either . ' Liu Chuan smiled and followed him into the house .
Bai Xuan had booked a ticket for a few days later . At present, he was still staying with the team to sort things out in the meeting room . After seeing that Liu Chuan came, he took the initiative to give them hot tea and said, “You talk . I will go back to the dormitory first to pack my luggage . ”
“Well, you are busy with your own things . ” Li Cangyu said .
Once Bai Xuan left, Liu Chuan opened his mouth and asked, “Are you disbanding the Canglan team?'
“Yes . ” Li Cangyu nodded .
Liu Chuan saw his calm expression and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder . “I won't say any words to comfort you . I don't think you need it . I heard rumours that Canglan was going to be disbanded . However, when your team disbanded last time, you took your teammates and transferred to Wulin . This time, I thought you would continue to form a new team and never thought about contacting you . I was really surprised when you called me . ”
Li Cangyu asked directly . “Can you accept me into the Dragon Song team?”
“Certainly . ” Liu Chuan laughed . “It is my wish . ”
“What position do you plan to place me on the team?”
“If you come over, I'll make you the captain . ” Liu Chuan didn't hesitate . “Wouldn't any other position be disrespectful to you?”
“I will be the captain?” Li Cangyu was obviously a little surprised . “What about the current captain, Wu Zewen?”
“My family's Zewen is naturally still the captain . ” Liu Chuan smiled and continued, “The two of you won't come into conflict . ”
Li Cangyu understood what Liu Chuan meant . “Do you want to build two teams?”
“That's right . ” Liu Chuan's expression became serious as he gazed at Li Cangyu . “Cat G.o.d, I won't speak secretively . You actively sought me out so you should also be thinking about this . There are many comprehensive overseas e-sports clubs . Their clubs have a business model where they are developing simultaneously in several games . China's Dragon Song team will follow this precedent and set up a team in both Wulin and Miracle . When I created Dragon Song, I said that I had to expand Dragon Song into a domestic first-cla.s.s comprehensive club, providing e-sports players with the best platform . In the past few years, I have been looking for a suitable opportunity… . Now that opportunity has finally come . You should know what I mean . ”
“You mean…the Miracle World Compet.i.tion . ” Li Cangyu saw Liu Chuan's nod and continued . “I've heard some news about the Miracle World Compet.i.tion . Miracle has been in operation for six years . It has its own professional leagues in various countries and many masters have emerged . Now the game headquarters wants to launch a world compet.i.tion to expand its influence . It is indeed a ripe time . ”
“Yes . ” Liu Chuan agreed . “I will take advantage of this opportunity to form a team to enter Miracle . Recently, I have been looking for a suitable leader . If you join, it really is a timely rain!”
“You want me to lead a team back to Miracle?” Li Cangyu asked .
“Isn't that your own wish?” Liu Chuan replied .
“…Indeed . ” After being poked by the other party, Li Cangyu no longer disguised it as he smiled . “I have missed my summoner in the two years that I left Miracle . Of course, it would be good if I could go back . ”
This is why Li Cangyu looked for Liu Chuan .
He had long seen that Liu Chuan was ambitious and interested in the Miracle Alliance .
After all, Miracle was the first compet.i.tive online game that Li Cangyu played . He might've gone to Wulin for two years but he couldn't forget the summoner he created when he first entered Miracle at a young age . It was his favourite game character .
He went round and round and actually returned to his original point . Li Cangyu didn't feel frustrated or ashamed . He was actually very happy .
He could operate his summoner again!
“It is best if you go back . But returning to Miracle will be a great challenge for you . You must think clearly . ” Liu Chuan looked at him seriously . “You have been away from Miracle for two years . The Miracle League has developed rapidly after many large-scale updates . The compet.i.tive rules have changed as well as the league system . You will have to start from scratch after you go back, as well as re-adapt . ”
Liu Chuan was right . Two years was enough to make a game new .
However, Li Cangyu didn't mind this . Instead, he smiled confident and declared, “It doesn't matter . I will start from the beginning . ”
The name 'Cat G.o.d' originated from Miracle . Its final destination should also be there .
He had been able to turn a rookie who didn't know anything into a superb summoner of Miracle . Now, he had the foundation of many games as well as compet.i.tion experience . He didn't believe that he would be weaker than that time!
Liu Chuan saw the confident expression on Li Cangyu's face and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder in appreciation . “Then the mission of the Dragon Fighters club is to enter Miracle . Can I confidently give this mission to you?”
This was a very difficult task that was likely to be full of twists and turns . But Liu Chuan believed that Li Cangyu would be able to raise this team . It was because the light in the man's eyes hadn't faded despite experiencing many failures .
He could get up from where he fell .
Cat G.o.d who climbed up, this time he would make everyone admire him .
Li Cangyu nodded seriously at the sight of Liu Chuan's trusting eyes and said, “Rest a.s.sured, I will do my best . ”
Liu Chuan smiled and stretched out his hand . “Then, shall we cooperate happily?”
Li Cangyu reached out his hand and shook it . “Happy cooperation!”
The two people had simple personalities and the negotiations were quick . Both of them had the same goal and they clicked together .
For Liu Chuan, the emergence of Li Cangyu solved his urgent problem . Good players weren't hard to find, but finding a good captain was difficult!
“The Miracle Professional League is held once a year . This year, you won't be able to catch up . We are half a year away from next year's league . You can take a break and practice . Wait until next spring . You will directly lead a team to kill Miracle . What do you think?” Liu Chuan asked .
“I agree . ” Li Cangyu said .
“I will help you with the transfer procedures . You just need to prepare to go back to Miracle . ”
Liu Chuan was the executive director of China's E-sports Alliance . The process of changing games was naturally easy for him . Li Cangyu felt relieved that Liu Chuan was helping with this and said, “Then I will trouble you . ”
“So polite!” Liu Chuan smiled and spoke again . “Yes, you should also think of a name for the new team . It is too ugly to have two Dragon Songs . We should have separate names or the fans might become confused . ”
“Yes . ” Li Cangyu agreed . “Why not keep the name Canglan? I'm incompetent when it comes to naming things . ”
“Didn't you decide this name?” Liu Chuan was obviously surprised .
Li Cangyu and explained, “Xiao Bai named it . He is more talented than I am . ”
Xiao Bai was the nickname that Li Cangyu commonly used for Bai Xuan, the vice-captain of Canglan and a G.o.d-level healer .
Liu Chuan couldn't help being curious at the mention of Bai Xuan . “I just heard the vice-captain say he was going to pack . Is he going somewhere?”
“Yes . ” Li Cangyu was helpless . “He doesn't want to continue playing and is preparing to go abroad to study . ”
Liu Chuan frowned . “His ability is good . Isn't it a pity for him to leave like this?”
“I think so too . ” Li Cangyu looked in Bai Xuan's direction and spoke in a low voice . “I will try to convince him . He is my best vice-captain . I can't bear it if he runs away . ”
“Yes . It is best for him to stay . If both of you come to the team, I will have a vice-captain and won't need to worry!” Liu Chuan happily patted Li Cangyu's shoulder and said, “I will go back to Changsha to arrange things . Come see me when it is convenient and I will help you clean the dormitory . ”
“There is no hurry . I will wait until one month before the start of next year's professional league . If I go to the Dragon Song Club too early, I would have to wear sungla.s.ses every day to hide from the paparazzi . ” Li Cangyu spoke seriously . “I hope that the matter of our cooperation will temporarily be confidential . ”
“I understand . ” Liu Chuan nodded and stood up . “I will wait in Changsha for you after the spring festival next year . We will sign the contract first . ”
As he spoke, he took a laptop out of his bag and found the contract template for the Dragon Song Club to sign an e-sports player . Then he added another zero to the salary .
Giving such a high salary proved he attached great importance to Li Cangyu . This was indeed the treatment for the captain of a team .
It wasn't easy to meet a boss who truly appreciated him . Li Cangyu knew that his cooperation with Liu Chuan was really the right choice .
Li Cangyu smiled and signed the printed contract .
The two people did things in a straightforward manner . They quickly finalized the cooperation plan before Liu Chuan hurried away in his sungla.s.ses and mask . He said there was an E-sports a.s.sociation meeting tonight in Beijing to wrap up the summer . He had to be at the airport for his flight .
After sending away Liu Chuan, Li Cangyu returned to the dormitory . He opened the door to see Bai Xuan leaning down to pack .
Bai Xuan's skin was very white and his facial features were gentle . He felt particularly gentle when he smiled . Bai Xuan was very good-tempered . No matter how others provoked him, he always smiled and never became angry . In addition to arranging the daily training of the players, he was also a good cook . He was the best super stay-at-home dad .
If it hadn't been for his help over the many years, the team established by Li Cangyu wouldn't have persisted to the present .
Now that he was leaving, Li Cangyu didn't want to give up . He walked over and whispered, “Bai Xuan, please don't quit . ”
