4, Assemble!

Combining his analysis of the manga with his first impressions, Su Qing found the composition of this dormitory quite interesting.

The big brother, Harada Masaru, was definitely the most reliable one, making him the perfect match for the chuunibyou, tsundere, and occasionally short-tempered ace, Narumiya Mei.

Catchers and pitchers are naturally a somewhat contradictory pairing.

There are many top-tier ace pitchers in the world, and no shortage of excellent catchers either.

However, it is rare for the absolute best of both to be paired together.

At this moment, Harada had taken the two veteran players, Narumiya and Shirakawa, to the field to organize matters regarding the newcomers with the manager, while Su Qing was busy chatting with the audience in his livestream.

Frequent interaction was the only way to accelerate leveling up; the current livestream could only hold a handful of people, making it difficult to earn any tips. He hoped tomorrow's daily check-in would be lucky enough to net him something good, or perhaps just upgrade the livestream directly. As for other things like pitching techniques... or cheating bats, he had absolutely no interest in them.

Although there were many unwritten rules in professional baseball, and players who used various drugs or tools to cheat—some of which he didn't even entirely oppose—that was only ever acceptable when based on one's own inherent ability.

"There are plenty of other tricks to pull; performance-enhancing drugs are just the stupidest way to go about it~" Su Qing muttered while sitting on his bed, then glanced at his watch: "We have to gather in half an hour, and you'll all be able to see them then."

[Cute Little Lion]: The streamer's watch is so flashy, it looks pretty nice.

[HuaHua You WangWang]: Isn't it a bit too blinding?

[I Only Pick Up Balls]: How much was it? It looks expensive.

"It's alright, just over 700,000 dollars,"

[Flecher]: !!

[Green Field]: Damn! 凸(艹皿艹)

[Gather Flowers When You Can]: Is the streamer being serious?

[QiMi QiMi]: Is the streamer really that rich?

[Narumiya is Super Cute]: Has everyone checked the livestream bio? You'll know if the streamer is rich or not once you read it.

[Da Gu Da Gu]: What do you mean? What do you mean?

[Little Angel Sai Gao]: Let me go check what kind of person the streamer is.

Speaking of this, Su Qing felt a bit awkward. The bio was generated by the livestream itself and had nothing to do with his own will. Was his golden finger really this uncontrollable?

[Forever No. 2]: !!

[God of the Pitcher's Mound]: I'll copy it for everyone to see.

Streamer: Su Qing (5th day since transmigrating)

Height: 175cm

Golden Finger: Cross-dimensional livestream, brought money over after death

Hobbies: Playing baseball

Favorite Food: Roujiamo

Favorite Animal: Little children

[Cute Little Lion]: Hahahahaha! What kind of quirk is "favorite animal is little children," hahaha?

[HuaHua You WangWang]: It's clearly such plain and simple language, so why do I want to laugh at every single point?

[I Only Pick Up Balls]: I'm certain this self-introduction wasn't written by the streamer himself; it's just too stupid.

[Flecher]: But being able to bring your money over after death is just too blissful.

[Green Field]: Isn't your focus a bit off, upstairs?

[Gather Flowers When You Can]: Yeah, yeah, shouldn't the focus be on the fact that he must have been rich in his past life to be able to afford a watch like that right away?

[QiMi QiMi]: What did you do in your past life, streamer?

Su Qing said earnestly: "I played ball."

[Narumiya is Super Cute]: ...I don't believe a word of it!

[Da Gu Da Gu]: Can we ask something practical? Streamer, were you really rich in your past life? What was your monthly salary? Since it has nothing to do with the present, it shouldn't count as privacy, right? Satisfy the curiosity of us future loyal viewers, please?

Su Qing chuckled. So, if he didn't talk about it now, he wouldn't be considered loyal later? He smiled and said, "In my past life, I did have money. But we didn't calculate by monthly salary; normally, we went by annual salary."

Only a few special seasons were paid on a monthly basis~

However, that wasn't entirely accurate either, because a lot of his salary was distributed by the club on a weekly basis, basically once a week.

-

[Little Angel Sai Gao]: Wow!-

[Forever No. 2]: I seem to look like 'talent'.

-

[God of the Pitcher's Mound]: Why did the person above add quotation marks?-

[Cute Little Lion]: How much was the streamer's annual salary?

-

[HuaHua You WangWang]: Don't keep us in suspense, tell us about it.

-

[I Only Pick Up Balls]: Yeah, yeah! If you tell us well, we'll give you a tip. After all, that's money from a past life; it'll be gone sooner or later. You're still young, so you have to seize every opportunity to make money.

-

[Flecher]: The logic of the person above is genius, haha~

Su Qing stretched and counted on his fingers, saying, "It was different at each stage. At the beginning, it was over 500,000 USD. The second year, it was over 10 million USD~"

He was one of the very few top players who entered the arbitration period early. Originally, everyone else had to wait until the third year, but he had already qualified for arbitration in his second year. So, saying it like that wasn't wrong, right?-

[Green Field]: Holy crap! Big shot!! Worship!!

-

[Gather Flowers When You Can]: Take my knees, big shot!!-

[QiMi QiMi]: What happened later, what happened later? Curious about what happened later!!-

[Narumiya is Super Cute]: Yeah, what happened later?

"Later, I signed my first contract. I rejected the 150 million USD over 10 years they offered, and changed it to 120 million over 5 years."

-

[Da Gu Da Gu]:...

-

[Little Angel Sai Gao]:...

-

[Forever No. 2]: Are you streamers messing with us?

-

[God of the Pitcher's Mound]: Forget it, everyone has times when they brag. I have to say, bragging is a very satisfying thing.

Su Qing awkwardly scratched his hair. Actually, he hadn't finished yet; his second contract was much bigger~

But it was true that his second contract had screwed the club over, because due to subsequent injuries, the club had to pay his salary for nothing, while he was no longer able to take the field to play for them.

Tsk tsk, thinking about it now~ it felt quite secretly satisfying!

Although he couldn't play anymore, and he definitely felt uncomfortable deep down, he believed no one would refuse the chance to lie down and collect money.

But that was all in the past. With his previous experience, he would learn to be smarter. He knew that during his amateur and Minor League days, he shouldn't push himself too hard. It was fine to show off his skills, but once certain things were injured, they would repeatedly re-injure, which had a truly massive impact on a professional career.

"Alright, I'm going to assemble. Let's all go watch the handsome kids together!"

-

[Da Gu Da Gu]: Want to see Seido!

-

[Little Angel Sai Gao]: Want to see Seido +1, when will they start fighting!!-

[Forever No. 2]: Fight, fight!

-

[God of the Pitcher's Mound]: You guys are too bad~-

[Cute Little Lion]: Eh! Someone is coming.

-

[HuaHua You WangWang]: Who is it, who is it!

The audience's field of vision was wider than Su Qing's, so they had seen someone walking over from the door a long time ago.

"Hello." The door was already open. The person who arrived knocked on the door and stood outside looking at Su Qing: "I live next door, first-year rookie Tada. Are you going to the field together?"

[Cute Little Lion]: It's Tadano Itsuki! He looks much more energetic than his 2D image.

[HuaHua You WangWang]: Is the person above trying to say his dead fish eyes aren't as obvious? Hahahahaha!!

[I Only Pick Up Balls]: How nice, he's calling his friends to go to the field together! Let's go!!

[Flecher]: Let's go together! Let's go!!

Su Qing naturally agreed to go along. After introducing himself to the younger boy, they walked toward the field together, which served as a convenient way to have a guide.

"How are you so familiar with this place? Did you do your homework beforehand? That's too impressive."

Tadano Itsuki had a rather introverted personality. Hearing such a straightforward compliment, he scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Not really~ I really liked this school back in middle school, so I've been here many times before."

[Green Field]: Why is he kind of cute?

[Gather Flowers When You Can]: The dead fish eyes get a thumbs up.

[QiMi QiMi]: Hit the person above out of the park!

[Narumiya is Super Cute]: Streamer, walk faster! Get to the field quickly, I want to see Narumiya.

[Da Gu Da Gu]: The person I want to see is at Seido, Streamer, go take a picture!

[Little Angel Sai Gao]: The person I want to see is also at Seido, waaaaaah~~
