The visitor was none other than Maoshen's close friend, KPL veteran player Cao Zhishun Jiucheng!
"I could hear you swearing from several floors away." Jiucheng crossed his arms and gestured towards the outdoor corridor. "You're making quite a commotion, aren't you? All the players and coaches from the AG division came to see what was going on."
The Maoshen regained his senses.
Menglei and Zhan Yuwen let go of each other's hands.
Maoshen questioned, " Cao Tutu, are you aware of Pei Qian's actions against Exalted Emperor?"
Earlier this year, Jiucheng terminated his player contract with AG and became a free agent. However, since his commercial contracts are still with AG, he will return to the club regularly to participate in some commercial performances and endorsement activities.
Jiucheng nodded. "I understand."
"Know?"
Instead of getting angry, Maoshen laughed, "You're a veteran in the team, so it's fine if you don't care, but why didn't you tell me?"
Jiucheng glanced at him and said, "What's the point of telling you? Besides Sister Fei and Teacher Meng, who else in the team can control Pei Qian?"
Maoshen choked. Jiucheng's words were rough but reasonable. Pei Qian was a relative of a shareholder of AG Club. Although his position was only a small recruitment manager, he wielded terrifying power.
Just like now, aside from using his seniority and seniority within the team to verbally and physically abuse Pei Qian, he really couldn't do anything to him.
" Lao Meng." Maoshen, now completely calm, turned to Menglei, who was slumped in his gaming chair, exhausted. "You're a shareholder of our AG club, Sister Fei has to treat you with respect. Pei Qian is a menace; he'll ruin AG sooner or later. You and Sister Fei need to think of a way to kick him out of the team!"
Menglei shrugged and said with a wry smile, "Damn it, it's true that I have a say, but Pei Qian is, after all, a shareholder of [ Pei Gou ]. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."
Maoshen said indignantly, "AG should never have accepted Pei Gou's sponsorship in the first place!"
In fact, AG Club was founded by owner [ Jiang Yafei ]. They made their first fortune by CrossFire), and later created Honor of Kings division to enter the KPL professional league.
Initially, the team performed well in the league, led by a group of first-generation Overlord players such as Menglei, Laoshuai, and VV. Although they did not win the championship in the early days, they consistently ranked high and were known as the champion quality inspectors.
However, in 2018, AG suffered a major setback, losing 26 consecutive league matches and being relegated from a strong KPL team to a K-League team, falling into a slump.
When the team was on the verge of bankruptcy, Menglei stepped forward, not only investing his own money to support the team, but also wearing the AG team uniform to solicit sponsorships everywhere.
Pei Gou was one of the sponsors, spending a large sum of money to subscribe to AG shares and becoming a shareholder with a say in AG.
After receiving the money, AG used all its resources to acquire BA Black Pineapple's KPL slot, thus returning to the KPL League!
Menglei sighed, " Sister Fei and I are e-sports players, but Pei Gou is a businessman. He pursues maximum profit, and he doesn't care about the team's reputation at all!"
Maoshen clenched his fist and said, " Lao Meng, can't you and Sister Fei think of a way to buy back Pei Gou's shares?"
"I've also discussed it with Sister Fei."
Menglei shook his head, "But things are different now. Before, AG was worth at most 30 million, but now it's increased a hundredfold to 3 billion! And that doesn't even include some hidden assets; it's actually worth more."
"To acquire Pei Qian's team shares, you'd need at least 300 million!"
Menglei looked at Maoshen and said in a deep voice, "You know that our AG team has finally stood up and is about to create the AG dynasty. If all the team's funds are used to acquire Pei Qian's shares, the team will inevitably suffer a heavy blow!"
"Three hundred million." Maoshen slowly relaxed his clenched fist. This was an astronomical figure. You have to know that when Wolves acquired QG, it only cost one hundred million.
That money is enough to buy three QGs.
Menglei comforted her, " Sister Fei's business trip abroad this time is to find a powerful and reliable foreign sponsor to replace Pei Gou."
"Distant water can't quench immediate thirst. If it were so easy to find, Pei Gou wouldn't still be an AG shareholder." Maoshen's eyes flashed with disappointment, and his gaze dimmed.
Menglei remained silent.
As long as Pei Gou remains a shareholder of AG.
His relative Pei Qian, will continue to wreak havoc on AG!
"Why don't you ask me?" Jiucheng said.
Menglei, Maoshen, and the others all looked at Jiucheng.
Maoshen asked with a strange expression, " Cao Tutu, you have three hundred million?"
"Of course I don't," Jiucheng said proudly, "But our Twilight of the Gods Team does."
Twilight of the Gods?
If we're talking about which amateur team in the King of Glory community is the richest, then without a doubt it's the Twilight of the Gods Team from the Android V Zone. Not only do their official players receive the same salaries as top KPL teams, but their holiday benefits are also incredibly generous!
The most famous example was last year's Lunar New Year's Eve red envelope rain event, Twilight of the Gods Team showered away two million red envelopes.
It is precisely because Twilight of the Gods is so wealthy that many top streamers, casual gamers, and active or retired professional players have chosen to join.
"Is Silver Dragon a very rich man in real life?" Maoshen asked curiously.
Silver Dragon is the captain of Twilight of the Gods and one of the Three Champion Emperors.
"I don't know about that, but the management of our Twilight of the Gods Team is very wealthy," Jiucheng replied.
Generally speaking, to join a top-tier amateur team like Twilight of the Gods, you either need to be incredibly skilled at the game, have won Overlord or King Title, be well-known within the community, and have a large network of connections and influence.
Either you're very rich in real life.
"As you all know, Silver Dragon has an incredibly powerful network, influence, and reach within the King of Glory community."
The Maoshen nodded.
After all, the KPL League championship trophy is named [ Silver Dragon Cup ] after the Silver Dragon ID, which shows its great influence.
Jiucheng's gaze sharpened as he said, "With just a single command from the Silver Dragon, let alone three hundred million, even thirty billion, can be raised by Twilight of the Gods!"
Maoshen was utterly shocked. He knew Jiucheng's personality well, so he knew very well that the other party was not exaggerating, but stating the facts!
"Speaking of which, when AG was first established, Silver Dragon guided us in setting up our makeshift team," Menglei recalled. "At the time, I was wondering why Silver Dragon didn't lead Twilight of the Gods to the KPL League."
The Maoshen clung to a straw, saying, " Lao Meng, when you have time, try contacting the Silver Dragon boss."
"Okay." Menglei beamed. "If the Twilight of the Gods Team could acquire Pei Gou's shares, that would be perfect."
The tense atmosphere eased.
Jiucheng glanced at him sideways and said, "I've done you such a big favor, it's not unreasonable for me to make a few requests, is it?"
" Cao Tutu, who gave you the right to make demands?" Maoshen glared at her. "Three hundred million isn't going to come out of your pocket."
Menglei, however, said with great interest, "Tell me about it."
Jiucheng pointed to the ground, "Tomorrow night, I want to requisition AG's first team's training room."
Not only was Menglei stunned.
Even Maoshen and Zhan Yuwen were stunned.
Menglei looked at head coach Zhan Yuwen.
"That's possible," Zhan Yuwen asked, puzzled. "But why are you requisitioning the training room?"
Jiucheng didn't hide anything, saying, "Live streaming will definitely Gan the national first-class bid!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that tomorrow was the last day of July, the day the Major National Badge.
"Are you still using the 'safety standard'?" Maoshen asked suspiciously. "I remember you've already been the top Gan in the country, what player could possibly threaten you..."
Towards the end, Maoshen suddenly fell silent. He suddenly remembered something: Exalted Emperor was also striving for the national standard of Gan!
Jiucheng's eyes gleamed as he said, "Tonight, Exalted Emperor's mid-lane peak rating reached 2449, only one point behind mine. He's now a second-tier national Gan."
"He's definitely eyeing a position among our Gan."
"Therefore, I must stay up all night to guard the leaderboard during tomorrow night's Peak Tournament," Jiucheng said, enunciating each word clearly, "To shatter his dream of becoming the national number one!"
