I am your father?

EDG E-sports Club.

Inside Manager Abu's office, Ming Kai exclaimed in shock, "I don't agree!"

"We already have Mouse, why are we looking for a new top laner? And if you want someone who can split push and carry the team, we have Tong Yang!"

Hearing this, Abu's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Do you think Tong Yang is capable? Don't you know what he did back then?"

Regarding what Abu said, Ming Kai's expression became serious; he naturally knew what Tong Yang had done.

After the S5 MSI ended, winning against SKT with a "Buddha's Palm" was something the entire LPL should have celebrated.

However, Tong Yang requested a salary increase from the club before his contract was even over.

From the club's perspective, it was understandable not to agree to a salary increase before the contract ended. But seeing that the club refused his salary demands, Tong Yang immediately slacked off, and has been wasting his potential ever since.

Ming Kai had a good relationship with Tong Yang, so he naturally wanted to see Tong Yang return to the scene. He initially thought Tong Yang would have another chance when he heard Abu wanted to find a top laner with a different playstyle for the team, but he didn't expect Abu to actually want to select someone from outside the team or from the youth training.

"This matter is settled. I think Easy, the former RNG substitute top laner who has been making a lot of noise online recently, is quite good. Let's see if he can reach rank one on the national server. If he does, I'll arrange for someone to contact him. I'm just giving you a heads-up."

Originally, Abu didn't need to inform the players of the club's decisions, but Ming Kai was a veteran player, the team's elder brother, and the club's biggest draw. It was better to inform him.

Seeing Abu's firm stance, Ming Kai had nothing more to say and could only leave in frustration.

Watching Ming Kai's retreating back, Abu slumped into his chair, holding his head and looking at the "famous moments" from the S6 matches on his computer. He felt his blood pressure start to spike again.

EDG's performance had been poor for the past two years, although there were various reasons for this.

For example, Ming Kai was always invincible in the LPL but would falter on the world stage, making the most idiotic plays at the most crucial times and places.

However, after seeing the performances of players like Semb and Huni this year, Abu suddenly felt that it might be appropriate to change EDG's style.

Up until now, their EDG top laners only needed to know three champions.

Maokai, Sion, and Yorick.

And Mouse was known as the "Sion specialist," which was why he could secure the starting top laner position.

But this time, Abu wanted to change their style, perhaps to save this EDG that was on the verge of collapse.

"Chu Ran, he seems pretty good."

At the same time, in a dark rental apartment.

Chu Ran, who was struggling hard in Summoner's Rift, had no idea that Abu had set his sights on him.

Amidst the praise from his teammates, he once again secured victory in the current ranked match, reaching over 500 points in Challenger.

"The season is about to update, I still need to work harder, otherwise I'll have to grind all over again when the season resets."

"The new champion Camille will be available on the national server in December. The long-legged beauty with both stats and mechanics is coming."

Chu Ran pondered, glancing at the resumes he had sent to various clubs, all of which had disappeared without a trace.

This left Chu Ran feeling a bit disappointed.

Although he was a reborn individual and knew about many opportunities to get rich, he didn't have enough capital and was waiting to earn money by playing professionally.

Thinking of this, Chu Ran checked his Weibo and found that more and more "Huang Za" were leaving comments under his posts. This was something that brought Chu Ran some comfort.

In just a few days, he had gained over twenty thousand Red Temperature Value.

"There are too few followers right now, so I won't post some classic comments; it's a waste. Once I have more followers, I'll stir up a storm online."

Immediately, Chu Ran used his Red Temperature Value to increase his operation ability by two points.

Although traits were useful, his own attributes were the foundation. If he could max out his attributes, he believed he could stand at the pinnacle of League of Legends even without any traits.

Operation Ability: 73 → 75.

"Keep pushing forward."

Another period of time quietly passed, and Chu Ran had already reached second place on the Ionia national server.

During this period, a major event had occurred in the LPL circle.

EDG Blitzkriegs Poland!

Perhaps due to some irresistible force, this event happened earlier, but the outcome and process didn't change much.

When Chu Ran saw this trending topic, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He wondered when he wouldn't laugh at this matter.

EDG as a club was truly something else.

Thinking of this, Chu Ran was about to pick up his phone to post on Weibo and comment on EDG, but on second thought, he hadn't secured a job yet, and life had ultimately bent him.

He could wait to comment after his job was confirmed; there was no rush. Anyway, he only had a few thousand followers on Weibo, most of whom were "Huang Za" forced to follow him just to curse at him, so he couldn't gain much Red Temperature Value.

Shaking his head, Chu Ran continued to queue.

Then he instantly locked in Fiora!

However, as soon as the game started loading, Chu Ran noticed two familiar IDs.

"Oh my, isn't that Zaozi Ge and Hades?"

At the same time, at the RNG E-sports Club.

Uzi took a sip of rock sugar pear and his eyes immediately became serious upon seeing Chu Ran's ID.

"Uzi, we got Easy in this game."

"Saw it."

Uzi snorted, clearly unhappy. He actually had to carry Chu Ran this game.

He'd also glanced at the Weibo post Chu Ran had made.

Claiming he couldn't play Jhin!

That was pure slander!

He was only letting Chu Ran off the hook out of consideration for them being former teammates. Otherwise, he would have had a lawyer send Chu Ran a letter, suing him for defamation.

Saying he, the world's number one ADC, couldn't play Jhin? Was that a joke?

It was just a tactical decision that led to Jhin being banned!

The game loaded, and Chu Ran was facing Du Ji's Irelia this game.

In the Huya livestream room, Du Ji's relaxed body immediately straightened up when he saw Chu Ran's ID.

"Guys, I got Easy in this match. I probably don't need to tell you about his Fiora, right? She's already rank two in China, but I'll show you how I dominate this Fiora."

Du Ji had been all smiles at first, but every time his E skill was on cooldown and he charged forward to stun the Fiora, Chu Ran would either block it with his W or simply not give him the angle.

In the early game, Fiora's W, Laurent's Riposte, had almost double the cooldown of Irelia's E skill.

This made Du Ji refuse to believe it.

"Ah, mistake, I Q'd a minion!"

"I don't believe it, you can still block this E!"

Du Ji roared, using his Q to dash to Chu Ran's Fiora. He got close with his Q skill and then cast his E.

There was almost no gap or backswing. Du Ji was already planning for a solo kill.

But in an instant, he saw Fiora bend down and squat, and he was the one stunned. Du Ji immediately cried out in disbelief!

"No, why! How can his Fiora block this? I really suspect this guy is cheating!"

A moment later, Chu Ran went AEA, then flashed and E'd for a 2-hit combo, hitting the vital point and critically striking. The massive Irelia instantly let out a mournful cry.

"Easy has eliminated Huya TV-Du Ji!"

Instantly, Chu Ran saw his mid and jungle laners spamming the "6" emote.

Xiao Ming was also a bit shocked seeing this. "Easy seems to have evolved. He solo-killed Du Ji at level 3."

"It's alright," Uzi said, unfazed. "Just focus on them. We can win this push."

Just as Uzi was confidently piloting his EZ and planning to kill his lane opponent, the enemy jungler, Lee Sin, suddenly appeared behind him. Uzi's expression changed immediately. He frantically performed various maneuvers, but ultimately couldn't escape being killed.

This made Uzi furious. He roared, "Why the hell is Lee Sin here!"

After that, he furiously pinged the Fiora who had just recalled, his keyboard mashing carrying obvious anger.

"Why the hell aren't you TPing? Don't you know the bottom lane is fighting? Do you even understand who's supposed to carry this game!"

Chu Ran had originally been thinking about how to crush Du Ji and secure a significant amount of LP to become rank one on Ionia.

But when he saw Uzi's message, he burst out laughing.

It was like an old lady getting into bed – it made him laugh.

He immediately started typing, and several words, spoken with a clear and resonant voice, appeared on the chat interface.

"Am I your dad?"
