"This is our youth training AD, iBoy Hu Xianzhao. This is our current starting AD, Zet..."

"Hello everyone...!"

Xu Cheng interacted with his future teammates and management with extreme caution.

Factory Director saw that it was about time and called out, "Let's go. I'll take you to put your luggage away first, and we can check out our love nest!"

Xu Cheng's face turned pale: "Xiao Kai, I think we should live separately. I'm not used to living with guys..."

"Oh, come on, big brother. I've got it all figured out for you!"

Factory Director grinned lewdly, thinking, Damn, there's still a long way to go. You can't handle it already?

This is just the beginning.

"Wait, wait!"

Just then.

A voice suddenly came from outside, and then a slightly handsome, unwashed, and energetic-looking teenager rushed in.

"Is my grandpa here? Where's grandpa?!"

"Uh..."

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhiming, completely bewildered.

Upon entering, Ai Luoli spotted the unfamiliar Xu Cheng beside Factory Director. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Grandpa... uh, Data Monster... Monster Dad, right... haha, I've missed you so much!"

"...!"

Why is he calling me 'you'?

Seeing this boy who called him grandpa upon meeting and clearly seemed a bit off, Xu Cheng wailed inwardly—

What kind of club is this?

It's got Wolong and Fengchu, and even You Lin and Zhong Hu?

Is there anyone normal here?

"Is it too late for me to leave now..." Xu Cheng looked at Factory Director beside him.

At this moment, Sai Wen also looked embarrassed, his face flushed, yet he felt a strange sense of relief at Ai Luoli's filial piety.

With a complex mix of pride and embarrassment, he glared at Ai Luoli with dead fish eyes: "Look at you! What kind of behavior is that! Go wash your hair, you haven't washed it in days?"

"Ah... that... isn't Monster Dad here? I was in a hurry..."

"You can call him Monster Dad?" Factory Director was inexplicably annoyed.

"Mon... Monster Master?" Ai Luoli also realized. This would make us different generations!

"...Holy crap, their hierarchy is too strict!" the people around were shocked.

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! Based on your performance in the Spring Split, I want to smack you!"

"Please calm down, Your Majesty... Don't get angry and harm your health... Uh, Monster Master... I'll be going now..."

Hearing Father Emperor's words, Ai Luoli shivered at the thought of his performance starting in place of Father Emperor during the Spring Split. He meekly prepared to leave.

"It's okay, it's okay. This brother looks like a straightforward person," Xu Cheng said, trying to ease the situation, thinking it was best not to offend anyone upon arrival.

However, Ai Luoli, who had already walked out the door, heard this and his face turned panicked: "Oh dear, please don't say that."

"How can you call me brother? That would make us different generations... It's bad luck!!"

Xu Cheng: "..."

Factory Director: "..."

Hearing this, everyone around completely lost it.

Truly—

Three generations of family happily reunited;

A loving father and filial son celebrating together.

What a display of filial piety!

Factory Director couldn't bear to stay any longer. His barely accumulated "authority" vanished instantly. He pulled Xu Cheng and hurried to their love nest.

The "love nest" was in excellent condition, so much so that it didn't look like a dorm but more like a four-star hotel suite—

What Xu Cheng didn't know was that given Factory Director's status at EDG, his dorm was the best arranged, personally by Abu and Ai De Zhu.

And Factory Director used to live alone.

After Xu Cheng arrived, to facilitate the father-son relationship... or rather, to help him integrate quickly, he had voluntarily offered to live with Xu Cheng.

Otherwise, Xu Cheng would probably be living with iBoy right now.

After tidying up the room a bit, as it was nearing mealtime, Factory Director took Xu Cheng downstairs to the cafeteria.

When they reached the first floor and passed the entrance lobby, Xu Cheng suddenly noticed a beautifully crafted shelf in the most conspicuous position, densely packed with trophies.

He hadn't really noticed these things before because he had just arrived.

Seeing the look in his eyes, the Factory Director said proudly, "These... are all the championship trophies our club has won over the years."

"Including the Spring Split and Summer Split champions of 2014, the Spring Split champion of 2015, the Summer Split champion of 2016... not to mention the Demacia Cup and other trophies, there are too many."

Xu Cheng had a basic understanding of EDG's past before he arrived, but witnessing it firsthand now, the rows of trophies still couldn't help but shock him.

You have to know that EDG was founded at the end of 2013, which means they have almost swept all the championships in the LPL league since their establishment!

But...

When he saw the row marked with "2017" was empty, and a large area for "International Matches" trophies was also vacant.

The Factory Director's proud tone paused, and his expression became somewhat somber.

"This year... I heard that the club's performance isn't very good?"

Xu Cheng looked at the other person.

"Mm."

The Factory Director didn't deny it and nodded frankly, "It's not just not good, it's the worst in history, without exception..."

As he spoke, he no longer wanted to dwell on these past events. He reached out and touched the only "MSI Championship" trophy in the "International Matches" area, his eyes showing a rare tenderness, and his tone softened:

"I don't need to introduce this to you, do I..."

"2015 MSI Championship, the first official international championship trophy in LPL history."

Xu Cheng nodded.

He was still in high school back then and didn't follow LOL, but he still knew about the commotion on campus.

MSI was the peak of the Factory Director's professional career.

S7 was the lowest point of the Factory Director's professional career.

"Yeah..."

The Factory Director's eyes became distant, and he sighed softly, "It's a shame MSI isn't the S Tournament... The S Tournament is the true ultimate goal."

"When will our LPL win an S Tournament championship trophy?"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng didn't reply. He felt it wasn't the time to disturb Xiao Kai.

However, the Factory Director's gaze fell on him, a flicker of hope in the depths of his eyes. He patted Xu Cheng's shoulder.

"But thankfully... you're here. With you here, we have hope."

"...Xiao Kai, can you stop putting so much pressure on me?" Xu Cheng was speechless.

"Haha, let's go, let's go. We'll go eat first. After eating, I'll take you through a formal tryout process to test and rate you."

The Factory Director laughed heartily and pulled Xu Cheng to eat.

After the two finished their meal, they first went to the training room, where staff had already prepared everything--

The test and rating.

In essence, it was a test of each professional player's talent in terms of ability, reaction time, hand speed, and other aspects.

Basically, every professional player would undergo a ranking test.

Before, the Factory Director had "PUA'd" Xu Cheng online and given him one, but that time was too rushed. Now that he was at the club, the professional staff and testing equipment were more comprehensive and complete.

Xu Cheng let the staff do as they pleased. The youth training manager, and even Abu and other teammates, watched curiously from the side.

The Factory Director stood outside with the newly arrived Coach Nofe, looking at EDG's Summer Split regular season schedule.

"Coach, when do you think it would be best to let Xu Cheng play?"

"Hmm... let's use this match. I think this match is the most stable!"
