Sincerity is the Ultimate Killer Move!

[Really?!]

The Factory Director was thrilled the moment he saw this message.

Whether it was V50 or not didn't matter—what mattered was that V50 meant adding WeChat!

Didn't this mean they could finally get in touch?!

As expected, sincerity is always the ultimate killer move!

He was moved by my persistence!

But just as the Factory Director was lost in self-gratification, the other side went silent again.

Through a week of "observing" Xu Cheng, the Factory Director, as if by telepathy, instantly understood something—

The other party was hesitating, conflicted, wavering.

But... why?

This level of caution was a bit excessive.

Thinking this, he sent another line:

[Have you been scammed before?]

[No, I haven't, don't talk nonsense!]

This time Xu Cheng replied quickly, firmly denying it—

He certainly wouldn't tell the other side that not long ago, he'd just been scammed out of 5000...

And it was on WeChat, no less...

He'd saved up for a whole month!

All for nothing!

[...Alright, I get it.]

Now the Factory Director understood completely.

He knew in his heart that this Youngster's guard was so high it wouldn't disappear anytime soon.

He had to change his strategy.

The Factory Director scrapped the idea of sending Xu Cheng a link or telling him to search for a livestream room.

He was afraid that if it took another week, the guy would really go into a shell.

[I added you, accept it.]

After the friend request went through, the Factory Director couldn't wait to message privately: [So? Can you talk now? Do you want to go pro?]

[V me 50 first.]

[[WeChat Red Packet]]

[[Received]]

Xu Cheng got the money, then directly closed WeChat and typed in the LOL chatbox: [No, I don't.]

???

The Factory Director, full of anticipation, saw this line, rolled his eyes, and nearly passed out from rage!

You little brat, your account is done for!!

[50 for one question. Anything else? If not, I'm deleting WeChat.]

Xu Cheng remained cautious.

As for whether the other side might not be a scammer...

If someone stalked you like a creep for a whole week, insisting it was for your own good, telling you to go pro, what would you think?

Especially since Xu Cheng had just been scammed out of 5000 of his hard-earned money.

He knew: sudden kindness reeks of ulterior motives!

[Wait, I have more to say!]

The Factory Director recovered, saw this line, and quickly said: [You usually take boosting jobs, right?]

Xu Cheng's heart suddenly tensed: [What do you want?]

[I want to hire you for boosting. What price do you think is fair?]

The Factory Director, upon seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he gloated inwardly.

Damn it, trying to outplay me? I, Zhuge Kaiming, have never lost when it comes to researching domestic players!

Through this period of studying Xu Cheng, he'd long guessed the guy was probably still a student and might take boosting gigs for extra cash.

[I see.]

Xu Cheng thought it over, didn't try to rip him off, and named a market price.

[No problem, so shall we start now?]

[No time today. Same time tomorrow afternoon.]

From freak to client, Xu Cheng's attitude softened a bit: [You can tell me whatever champion you want me to teach you. Guaranteed to teach, guaranteed to master!]

Seeing that "guaranteed to teach, guaranteed to master," Factory Director's eyelids twitched.

Even the water friends in the livestream chat couldn't hold it together.

[Guaranteed to teach, guaranteed to master]

[No way, is Factory Director really overvaluing the Data Monster? Let's be real, he's just a Match Player. Is it really worth it?]

[Haha, I'm dying laughing. What kind of person says "guaranteed to teach, guaranteed to master" in front of LPL001?]

Factory Director ignored the chat. He thought for a moment, then probed: [You know every champion?]

[Bro! We're rich now!]: "Mm."

A single word, but it sent Factory Director into a frenzy!

Every champion!

He knew Xu Cheng was probably exaggerating a bit, but daring to say that meant the guy's Champion Pool had to be deep!

He had to lock him down!

Reaffirming that thought in his heart, Factory Director typed out a message: [Then how about Camille?]

This was a new champion that had just been released recently.

Young man, young and brash—the road ahead wouldn't be easy. After putting on enough of a show, it was time to knock him down a peg.

Since the guy said he'd guarantee to teach and master, he couldn't blame Factory Director.

[No problem.]

Xu Cheng didn't think much of it.

Sure, he messed around in matchmaking, but he'd actually been playing top lane all along.

And Camille, this new champion, was being played top by quite a few people. He'd naturally played her, and even liked her quite a bit.

After they agreed, Factory Director reluctantly sent Xu Cheng a 300 red packet.

Xu Cheng took it and logged off instantly.

Three hundred fifty earned today... a total win!

The next afternoon.

Factory Director opened his stream early, his mood expectant and excited.

After all this time, he was finally reaping the rewards!

Even though he couldn't fully dispel Xu Cheng's wariness yet, now that he'd made contact, he wasn't afraid of the guy running off.

At that moment, the stream's viewership began skyrocketing at a visible rate—

This was the aftermath of Factory Director's stream yesterday.

After a week of fermentation, the topic and buzz around the Data Monster were growing hotter.

That match recording from back then had spread across video sites, and many water friends already called themselves his fans.

Unfortunately, no one knew who the Data Monster was.

Until yesterday, when Factory Director got in touch with the Data Monster and announced he'd appear on Factory Director's stream today. All the curious onlookers showed up.

But that was all they were—onlookers.

The various pro teams that had once tried to contact Xu Cheng had long since given up on him after he failed to respond for so long.

Just like that water friend had said before—

In the entire Esports Circle, how many geniuses were there?

The Data Monster, to put it bluntly, had only played one match and gotten lucky with the hype.

Other than that, what was there worth investing in?

Good memory? Then go join Super Brain. Why play games?

Xu Cheng's aloof attitude had been privately complained about by more than one person over the past few days, and it had killed all the pro teams' enthusiasm for him.

Their impression of him had turned sour.

Except for Factory Director.

Factory Director's persistence during this time had become a joke in the circle. Everyone couldn't understand—was a match player, even if he had talent, really worth LPL001's Factory Director treating him like this?

Factory Director himself wasn't sure either. He just had a feeling, like when he'd first seen Deft, seen Meiko...

His gut told him this Youth's talent was extraordinary.

And judging from past experience, his gut had never been wrong!

Hum.

Just as he was thinking about this, a name in his friend list suddenly lit up.

Xu Cheng was online!

[Ming Lian丶15]: "Bro, I'm here!"

[Bro! We're Rich Now!]: "What mode? Custom match, I'll teach you directly?"

[Ming Lian丶15]: "Heh, no rush. How about this—you said you can play any hero, right?"

[Ming Lian丶15]: "Here's the deal: we queue up random pick. I'll name a hero, you play it. Let me first see if you're good enough to earn my money. What do you say?"

Xu Cheng's expression didn't change at all.

[Bro! We're Rich Now!]: "Fine."
