Little Xu! Please Know Your Place!

The fans of the major clubs were arguing endlessly in various livestream chats, attacking each other and picking at old wounds.

Meanwhile, the news about the "retired gamer" Data Monster suddenly appearing at the official commentator competition spread through the entire esports circle at an incredible speed after Xu Cheng showed up.

The casual players who had been searching for "Big Brother" for days were all incredibly excited. The major esports media outlets, like sharks smelling blood, began sharpening their knives and churning out press releases.

Amidst the city-wide commotion, the official commentator competition officially began.

However--

The grand opening of the commentator competition, which should have enjoyed the attention of the entire internet, had already lost most of its buzz.

The participants of the commentator competition were all listless and preoccupied.

After being solo-killed once again due to losing focus, the Factory Director finally couldn't take it anymore.

He first sent a private message to his teammates.

A few seconds later.

"Let's surrender. It's about time, and we don't have an advantage anyway."

Ah Shui pretended to be bored and said, "I've clicked surrender, Kai Ge. How about you?"

The Factory Director smiled mysteriously, "?"

"I initiated it!"

"...!"

Then Ah Shui and the others cooperatively surrendered.

The match ended, leaving the external viewers and the officials stunned. The Factory Director, however, had already shot up and left at lightning speed, not even having time to say goodbye, only leaving behind a message: "[Big Brother, wait for me!]"

He quickly got dressed and headed straight for the address Xu Cheng had sent him--

That's right, he couldn't wait any longer!

After Xu Cheng's identity was exposed, the major clubs had already made their moves, and EDG was no exception.

But he couldn't rest easy!

He was afraid these people wouldn't handle it properly and another club would snatch him away.

This was not an impossible scenario.

Because at this moment, almost every club in the LPL was keeping an eye on Xu Cheng!

Among them, several powerhouse teams were making their intentions clear. IG was notoriously known for spending big money, and he was genuinely afraid of any further mishaps!

Even if surrendering this match might offend the officials, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

The Factory Director left. Xu Cheng, completely bewildered, ended his first "match" with a sense of unfinished business.

"Um... the event is over, so I'll be heading out then?"

Exiting the room, Xu Cheng chatted with the ladies.

"Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng, you still haven't told us what's going on? How did you suddenly become a Data Monster..."

Rita's overwhelming curiosity could no longer be contained.

But as soon as she spoke, Yu Shuang helplessly put her hand to her forehead, "Be smarter, you silly girl."

She then said to Xu Cheng, "You should go, you'll probably be very busy from now on..."

Xu Cheng knew what she was referring to and shrugged helplessly, "It's fine, I just need to pick a club."

"..."

"It's fine, I just need to pick a club."

It gave the impression that he could go wherever he wanted.

Of course, Yu Shuang knew that for Xu Cheng at this moment, there wasn't a single brain-dead club in the LPL that would reject him.

However.

"We don't know much about clubs, so we can't give you much advice... but being cautious is the right move. It's best to find an established club, like EDG... RNG is also good... and maybe find a lawyer."

"IG is also an option," Xiao Yu said, putting aside their past grievances and sincerely offering Xu Cheng advice.

Xu Cheng shivered inexplicably and chuckled, "Uh, okay... I got it, RNG is indeed good... but lawyers are too expensive... I'll be going offline then?"

"Hey, wait! Cheng Cheng, when will you play with us again?"

Rita quickly asked, "You took such a long break this time, and no one's playing games with me. I keep getting bullied by those Silver players, it makes me so mad..."

"Big sister, did all your fat grow on your chest?"

Tuozijie couldn't stand it anymore, "Just let him go offline. We can talk about other things later. Cheng Cheng is probably going to be swamped..."

"Ah... oh, okay, then you can go offline."

Rita nodded, appearing foolish, but in reality, she knew very well that for a long time to come... even if he became a professional player, Xu Cheng would likely never be as close and playful with them as before.

But even though she knew this, she had to ask, because it wasn't just her thought, but also the unspoken thoughts of Yu Shuang and Xiao Yu, who were too embarrassed to ask.

After knowing that Xu Cheng was the "world-famous" Data Monster, everything... was ultimately different from before.

Just today, how much attention and gifts did they leech off Xu Cheng?

"Sigh, I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him..."

"Once he logs off, he'll be a professional player."

"I wish you... a bright future, I wish you... a boundless journey!"

Xu Cheng didn't know how complicated the thoughts of these women were, especially a whole den of them.

At this moment, after logging off, his phone rang incessantly like it was possessed, showing no signs of stopping.

It only quieted down a little after he had brief conversations with a few famous LPL clubs.

Sitting on his chair, he glanced at the empty living room outside the bedroom. Xu Cheng's expression was unusually dim and hesitant—

During this time, besides preparing for competitions, he had also found opportunities to be honest with his parents, expressing some of his thoughts and future considerations.

The conversation went smoothly, at least—

Father Xu and Mother Xu, who had always maintained an open approach to Xu Cheng's education, didn't voice any opinions on the surface.

But it was precisely this lack of opinion that was most disheartening.

Because sometimes, not expressing an opinion itself represented a form of rejection, resistance, and disagreement.

Clearly, no matter how open-minded Father and Mother Xu were, their long-held conventional views prevented them from immediately accepting their child, who excelled academically, suddenly deciding to play games.

And not just play games, but to make a living from it.

This was the point that gave Xu Cheng a headache. If his parents maintained this attitude, he probably wouldn't be happy even if he truly embarked on a professional career.

Furthermore, the school's stance and Xu Cheng's academic qualifications, should he go professional, were also a knotty issue.

Without resolving this, Xu Cheng felt he would be letting his parents down.

"I won't think about these things anymore. Since I've decided, I should try my best. Otherwise... I'll regret it for my entire life if I look back."

Xu Cheng shook his head, dismissing these thoughts.

He then sighed, "I hope... these clubs can convince them..."

Open-minded parents had their advantages.

Even if they resisted inwardly, seeing their child's persistence, they would cautiously take a step forward, venturing beyond their ingrained conventional views and comfort zones.

This time, almost all the top clubs in the country had come.

In reality, they didn't need to convince Xu Cheng; as long as they could persuade Father and Mother Xu, Xu Cheng would be theirs.

Achoo!

The Factory Director, who had just deplaned and was speeding towards them in a car, sneezed inexplicably.

"Who's thinking of me? Could it be Brother... Pfft! Could it be Little Xu thinking of me?!"

"Right... right, it's Little Xu, Little Xu. Not Brother, it's Little Xu..."

The Factory Director silently repeated the address "Little Xu" a few times in his mind, a strange, enigmatic smile gradually appearing on his face.

Heh heh.

Brother?

We're about to meet in person, and you still dare to call me Brother again?

I declare, from this moment on, the tables have turned!

Little Xu! Know your place!

Now, standing before you is—

LPL001, the face of LPL, an elder statesman among LPL star players, the leader of EDG, officially praised, former MSI champion, FMVP jungler—
