Do you want to dance with me? Watch my performance!

San Shao was stunned to see Chu Ran's Weibo post.

If they hadn't let Chu Ran go, RNG would have had two star players.

Who would dare to deny they were the number one club in the LPL then?

For a moment, San Shao was filled with regret, gritting his teeth and slapping his thigh.

"Why didn't I hold onto his contract back then?"

At this moment, as the night deepened, a war erupted on Weibo. Chu Ran's single post had left countless netizens speechless, some amused, others downright furious.

EDG-Easy:

[To @LGD Official Esports Club.

I'm so envious that your club has a summer champion. Can you let me touch your trophy? I'll let you touch EDG's 2015 MSI championship trophy too, since LGD hasn't touched any other championship trophies, right?

PS: Someone said I have no achievements, that's slander!

Who said that? If a club can inherit two S-tier runner-up finishes, can't I inherit the club's honor? And you don't consider Solo Competition champions as champions, do you? Rounding up, that's an 'S' tier championship!]

Instantly, the Weibo comment section erupted in chaos, with many netizens laughing hysterically and others seething with anger.

[6666, man, I have nothing else to say, I can only be jealous of your talent.]

[Goddamn, let me touch your JB, this is insane!]

[To be honest, it's true. If a club can inherit honors, why can't a player inherit the club's honors?]

[LGD brags about winning the summer championship for a lifetime, first seed at the Round of 16. Seriously, don't mock EDG. EDG at least made it to the quarterfinals!]

[Just a match-fixing team, not even a fraction of EDG. No matter what, EDG doesn't engage in gambling.]

[Pan Jie's entire family is dead, and they still have the nerve to run a club and gamble? Dare to say that Tao Bao Quan didn't buy it!]

[I bought your mom! You can be bad, but you can't say LGD bought it!]

[Quarterfinals are that impressive? Olaf ults to pop bomb fruits, steps on Caitlyn's traps, then ults?]

[I'm inheriting your mom, Ran Chu, are you fucking sick? The Royal Club was the predecessor of RNG!]

[I just hope they retire Ran Chu this bastard quickly. If this continues, he will eventually ruin Chinese esports.]

Weibo's public opinion exploded. Abu and Fujii, however, were overjoyed. They were worried about where the heat for the spring season would come from to attract more capital.

They never expected Chu Ran to solve this problem for them all by himself.

Taking advantage of the situation, the upcoming match between EDG and LGD immediately caused a huge stir in the LPL circle. Tickets were completely sold out, and scalpers took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Time flew by, and Chu Ran took a day off.

"Brother Ran, the heat is already explosive. Aren't you going to post on Weibo and be silenced by the criticism?" Meiko asked, puzzled. He had been intensely reading Chu Ran's Weibo comments for the past few days, often laughing himself to sleep.

"Silence is good, silence is good," Abu nodded with a smile. The heat was enough; any more would be drawing fire to themselves.

Chu Ran held his breath and slowly said, "No, I'm just accumulating."

"."

Tian Ye gave Chu Ran a thumbs-up, feeling a deep respect for him in his heart. At least he couldn't learn this kind of mentality.

Abu almost choked, then cleared his throat and read out the roster he and Nofe had arranged.

"Tomorrow's starting lineup..."

Mosue instantly tensed up. He had spoken to Abu in advance, feeling on fire recently and believing it was time to perform. Otherwise, the audience would only remember Chu Ran and forget him, Mouse.

Scout lowered his head and played with his phone. Although he was unhappy, he knew that against LGD tomorrow, the club wouldn't let him play for the sake of the hype.

"Top laner Ah Guang, jungler Zhi Ming, mid laner Yuan Shuo, AD He Kui, support Tian Ye, substitute Xiao Ran."

"That's it. If there are no problems, train a bit more. We can only win tomorrow against LGD, no losses allowed."

As Abu said this, he glanced at Mouse. He had indeed brought Chu Ran in for a change of style, but they ultimately needed to settle on a starting lineup.

Ale was honestly a bit lacking; they needed to observe him a bit longer.

As for Mouse, Abu was giving him an opportunity this time, and it was up to him to seize it.

As for Zet, who was drinking water by the cooler, Abu decided to give him one or two chances later.

Opportunities would be given, but they had to be seized. If they couldn't seize the opportunity like Chu Ran, then they couldn't blame Abu for being ruthless.

"Don't worry, I'll carry the top lane tomorrow," Mouse patted his chest.

Seeing this, Chu Ran didn't say anything. He thought it was reasonable; he couldn't just snatch Mouse's starting spot the moment he arrived.

It was a fair competition, and after a few games, they would know who could secure the starting top laner position.

"What? Not happy?" Ming Kai asked, crossing his legs in a boss-like manner.

"Not really, it's just a great regret in life that I might not be able to face the Sword Immortal tomorrow. The loneliness of being a master!"

Seeing Chu Ran return to his computer, resting his head on his hands, Mouse secretly vowed.

He had been training hard every day not to prove how amazing he was.

It was to show everyone that he would get back what he had lost with his own hands!

A mere Sword Immortal, before his Ah Guang, was like a grain of rice competing with the bright moon!

Chu Ran naturally didn't know Mouse's thoughts. He started up League of Legends, took a sip of wine, and enjoyed the high life, then started playing with the long-legged girls.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Shanghai Zhengtai Plaza was packed with people; every seat was taken. Fujii hadn't expected that an ordinary regular season match would attract so many spectators.

Besides EDG's contribution, VG also played a part.

The fans' hoarse shouts were endless!

"Go EDG, General Pawn charge!"

"Go LGD! Godv, you're the most talented mid laner in the LPL, come back, that reverse arrow from back then should have circled the Earth by now!"

"Go VG! Bengi, good luck, Hou Ye, good luck, Champion jungle duo, crush IM, that turtle team!"

"Knife in hand, follow me, LGD, I'll personally kill Ran Chu!"

As the players entered, after a round of cheers, the first match between VG and IM officially began.

Inside the backstage area, Abu was fiercely criticizing both teams' BP and decisions.

Fortunately, with AJ's outstanding performance, IM won two to zero. Otherwise, Abu would have probably made a phone call to the IM manager's office. After all, as EDG's second team, Abu also bore responsibility for IM's results.

And in VG's backstage, because this was VG's first match of the spring season this year, everyone was stunned by the result.

BO3, plus rest and BP time, was less than an hour and a half.

What the hell?

Didn't they say that with the introduction of three-time champion jungler Bengi this year, VG's performance would soar?

How could they be nosediving and getting crushed by IM?

The VG owner really wanted to curse. His eyes were filled with despair. This wasn't the first time VG had bought championships. Back when the Ten Samsung players came to China, VG had bought Dandy and Mata, and their results were poor.

Later, they bought Easyhoon, and the results were still poor. This year, they continued to buy.

Three-time champion Benji successfully joined. It's worth noting that Bengi's salary was probably second only to Uzi and Factory Director in the LPL, at 15 million a year.

At this moment, the VG owner felt like a complete fool.

Damn it!

He felt like he had been scammed by these champions.

Last year's results were already difficult. Could it be that this year they bought a few champions to play in the relegation matches?

Even the commentators were trying to cover for VG, fearing that the VG owner's spirit would be broken, and he would completely withdraw from the LPL.

In the EDG lounge backstage.

Abu surveyed the room and frowned, "The match is about to start, where's Xiao Ran?"

"Oh, Brother Ran said he forgot to grab something and went to the club to get it."

Hearing Meiko, Abu nodded. Fortunately, Chu Ran was a substitute today. "Then get ready to go on stage."

A moment later, on the commentary desk.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the first week of the 2017 LPL Spring Season regular season. Next, we will bring you the match between EDG and LGD! I am commentator Guan Zeyuan."

"Hello, I'm Miller. This match is full of hype, like Tathagata fighting Wutian, a battle between two ADCs from the Ten Samsung players, and also the duel between the very popular top laner Easy and Jinoo."

"Let's look forward to it together. Now, let's welcome Uzi."

The camera moved, and Uzi appeared on everyone's screens, dressed in a suit, his hair styled like an adult.

Fujii had racked his brains for this match. Since there were no RNG matches today, he decided to invite Uzi as a guest commentator.

"Hello everyone, I'm Uzi. I'm very happy to be commentating this match with the two commentators."

Miller and Guan Zeyuan smiled. Everyone understood.

Fujii invited Uzi, and Uzi was probably overjoyed. Anyone who followed the LPL knew about the situation between Uzi and Chu Ran.

Seeing Uzi's smile, Guan Zeyuan chuckled. He thought Uzi was happy too soon.

"Uh, we just received news that EDG's starting top laner today is Mouse, not player Easy."

Instantly, the smile on Uzi's face froze.

What the hell, wasn't he here for nothing?

The bullet comments in the live stream were in an uproar, filled with taunts from the Optimism family and Imperial Zha.

[Holy crap, is Ran Chu scared?]

[Please, Ran Chu, you're so weak. My Little Dog hasn't even gotten serious yet, and you've already fallen?]

[Not good, Ran Chu, you're trash!]

[You have the guts to initiate a fight but not the guts to play, right?]

[Ran Chu only has a big mouth. He talks big every day, but when something happens, he lets Mouse take the hit. Pui~ Disgusting!]

A moment later, both teams' first BP was completed. Mouse was still the Maokai pillar.

Abu and many EDG fans were originally very relieved.

After all, Mouse's Maokai could truly be called the number one Maokai in the LPL.

However, facing Jinoo's Fiora, Mouse's Maokai only lasted five minutes before collapsing completely, being pushed under his tower. Then, Eimy's Kha'Zix jumped over the tower to kill him.

"LGD-Jinoo has killed EDG-Mouse!"

"First blood!"

Seeing this, countless Imperial fans and LGD fans burst into laughter, and the bullet comments flooded the screen.

[What is this? A Maokai jinchuriki? He can't even handle pressure!]

[This is the level?]

[As expected of Sword Immortal, his Fiora's laning pressure is so much stronger than Ran Chu's Fiora.]

Seeing this, Abu almost got high blood pressure from anger, but this was just the beginning.

Immediately after, Mouse, sweating profusely, was almost suffocated by Jinoo's Fiora. He then called for Ale's Lee Sin to come to his rescue.

However, he performed a "Dragon's Tail" for all the viewers and missed his Sonic Wave, allowing Eimy to come over and help Jinoo's Fiora get a double kill.

[66666! Ale, as expected, is Fei Kai's closed-door star disciple!]

[My god, EDG's crown prince Lee Sin is just like Fei Kai!]

[Facing Jinoo's Fiora, Mouse is also not good enough, let Ran Chu come!]

[Hahaha, Ran Chu already ran away because he knew he couldn't win, poor Ah Guang!]

[This is our LGD, what is EDG? Really, don't come here to touch porcelain.]

For a moment, Abu trembled with anger, his eyes fixed on Ming Kai, "Did you teach him?"

"Don't slander me, he's naturally gifted, what does it have to do with me?" Ming Kai shrugged helplessly.

Ale really couldn't be helped.

Did he really have to come out of retirement this spring season?

And with the loss of the top and jungle, LGD's mid and bot lanes also performed decently. With such a huge advantage in the top lane, it made it very difficult for EDG to play.

Although they found opportunities to fight a few times in the mid-game, they gained almost nothing.

Abu's face was contorted with madness, "Where's his ultimate? Where's Lee Sin's ultimate? He should have kicked Fiora away to protect Deft! Ming Kai! Why didn't he use his ultimate? You still say it wasn't you who taught him."

"Uh, you ask him, why are you asking me?"

Ming Kai was speechless. Is Ale addicted to imitating me?

With the explosion of EDG's top and jungle, even Pawn and Deft couldn't salvage the crumbling situation despite their best efforts.

Finally, at 25 minutes, LGD took the Baron and pushed straight to victory.

Countless Imperial and LGD fans erupted in excited cheers. Uzi also sarcastically commented from the casting desk.

EDG was his old rival, so he was very happy to see them lose.

It was just that Chu Ran didn't play this game, otherwise, he would have settled the score.

While the outside world and the live stream were in an uproar, the EDG backstage was filled with frost.

"Why didn't you use your ultimate?" Abu angrily questioned Ale, "Why didn't you use your ultimate in that play?"

Ming Kai raised an eyebrow, he had a bad premonition.

After a moment of silence, Ale spread his hands, "The top lane called me, what could I do..."

"Shut up!" Ming Kai snapped.

Are you done yet, you little brat?

Abu was utterly furious, looking at Mouse slumped on the sofa with a cold expression.

You had your chance and you blew it!

You blew it!

"Replace him, where's Xiao Ran? Has he come back yet!" Abu waved his hand.

Suddenly, the lounge door was pushed open by Chu Ran. He was holding a glass stemmed glass in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He immediately sensed the abnormality backstage and raised his hands with a grin.

"Want a glass?"

[Red Temperature Value +154]

"..."

Ming Kai and the others were stunned. Meiko's eyes widened.

Did he forget to bring something? Turns out he forgot to bring the red wine?

Are you kidding me?

Abu felt his face flushing now. At a time like this, you're offering a drink?

He wished he could punch Chu Ran.

"We lost the first game, you're up for the second."

"Oh." Chu Ran looked at Mouse, who seemed to have given up on life, and then offered him a drink. This only made Mouse more depressed. All he wanted now was for EDG to win, but Chu Ran was playing worse than he was.

Abu snatched Chu Ran's red wine and goblet. "What time is it to be acting all high and mighty? If we win, I'll let you act fancy all you want. Hurry up and get ready, you're going on. I'll Venmo you 50 yuan."

"Wait."

"Post on Weibo first."

A moment later, a new Weibo post from Chu Ran appeared before countless viewers.

EDG-Easy:

[Ladies and Gentlemen! Are you ready to dance with me next game? Some people say LGD is going to win 2-0, but why hasn't anyone asked my opinion? Enough talk, watch my performance!]

As expected, the instant Chu Ran posted this Weibo.

Weibo exploded.
