Chapter 128 Back to No. 1, the playoffs begin!
Xu Mo didn't quite understand Rita's purpose.
But this doesn't stop him from making soy sauce.
Anyway, it only takes a few minutes to visit the EDG base. Once you finish it quickly, you can come back to score points.
First, get the first place at the top of the canyon and keep the daily bonus of 5,000.
The three of them walked in the corridor on the second floor one by one. Aguang looked back at Rita and said with a smile:
"Rita, let me take you to see the gym at our base first."
Rita nodded and smiled: "Okay."
So, the three of them started walking to the fourth floor.
A Guang walked in the front, Rita walked in the middle, and Xu Mo followed at the back to fish.
When going up the stairs, Xu Mo would always inadvertently glance at Rita in front of her. Her tights and tight jeans completely outlined her graceful figure.
Of course, as a gentleman, Xu Mo didn't stare at the person all the time, only a dozen times.
However, Xu Mo didn't seem to realize that Rita in front had turned around and noticed him.
“Does it look good!”
"Good-looking." Xu Mo replied subconsciously.
The next second, he moved his eyes slightly upward and saw Rita's slightly joking face.
The question just now came from Rita's mouth.
A Guang in front heard the conversation between the two, turned around and asked in surprise: "What are you looking at?"
Before Xu Mo could answer, Rita said: "Look at the scenery."
"Scenery?" Aguang turned around and looked around. Except for the walls and guardrails of the stairwell, there was not a hair on it. "Where is the scenery?"
Rita smiled: "The stairs in your base are well decorated."
Aguang scratched his head and said with a smile: "As long as you like Rita~"
Xu Mo:......
Aguang's tone made Xu Mo feel a little strange.
I feel a strong smell of dog licking...
"By the way, Rita, why do you suddenly want to visit our base?" Aguang asked again.
"I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I just have time now."
"That's it..." Aguang thought for a while, "What do you like to drink? I'll buy it for you after you finish shopping."
"Brother Guang is kind enough to accept it, but I'm not thirsty yet."
"Okay..." A Guang was a little disappointed.
The three of them returned to peace.
In the corridor, there was only the sound of rustling footsteps.
After what happened just now, Xu Mo's eyes narrowed a bit.
But as he walked, he found Rita walking next to him.
"Brother, I have long admired your name." Rita tilted her head and looked at Xu Mo, with a half-smile in her eyes.
Perhaps because of the contact lens, Rita's eyes look extremely bright.
Xu Mo smiled: "Do you know my name?"
"Uh..." Rita was stunned for a moment.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I really don’t know.
All I know is that the guy in front of me is called "Playing Brother", but this is obviously not his name.
Rita was speechless for a moment. How could this guy not follow the routine at all?
He said that he has admired his name for a long time, shouldn't he also be polite?
How can we chat like this!
[Get negative emotion value +5 from Rita]
Rita glanced at Xu Mo resentfully, and when she was about to speak, A Guang in front of her suddenly spoke to save her: "My real name is Xu Mo."
"Xu Mo..." Rita nodded and said meaningfully, "It's quite hidden."
Xu Mo didn't answer.
But Aguang was very positive: "Yes, I just found out about it not long ago."
Rita nodded and said nothing more.
Just glanced at Xu Mo again.
There was something complicated in her mind.
After seeing the real person, she was almost certain that the famous playmate in front of her was the one she accidentally bumped into, her rumored boyfriend.
But she didn't understand.
Why doesn't my playmate like to talk to me a lot?
This left her unable to ask many questions.
Soon after, Rita came to the gym on the fourth floor of EDG under the leadership of Aguang.
"This is our gym. It looks okay!" Aguang introduced enthusiastically.
Absentmindedly, Rita forced a smile: "Very good."
After visiting the gym, Aguang took Rita to visit the conference room and canteen as usual.
But along the way, Rita was a little absent-minded.
Xu Mo, who was thinking about getting better points, was also fishing, and just wanted to end the matter as soon as possible.
Fortunately, within ten minutes, it was finally over.
The three of them returned to the training room again.
Coach Abu is also in the training room, talking to the factory director.
After seeing Xu Mo and the others coming in, Abu was a little surprised: "You finished reading it so quickly?"
Rita nodded: "Yes. I'm sorry to trouble Coach Abu and everyone today. I have something to do and have to leave first."
Abu was even more surprised: "Leaving so soon?"
After speaking, he glanced at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo noticed Abu's gaze and gently spread his hands to express that it had nothing to do with him.
"Why don't you play for a while Rita," Aguang said quickly, "There is actually a garden behind the base. I can take you to see it."
"No," Rita smiled and shook her head, "I will come again next time and treat you to dinner then."
Abu nodded: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
Later, Abu and Aguang sent Rita downstairs together.
As for Xu Mo, he returned to his computer and turned it on again.
As soon as he logged into the Canyon Top account, the factory director ran over and asked: "What's going on between you and Rita?"
Xu Mo was puzzled: "What's going on?"
"Actually, we have recognized you a long time ago. You are Rita's rumored boyfriend, right?"
"So that's what happened..." Xu Mo shook his head helplessly, "In fact..."
After Xu Mo explained, the factory director reluctantly believed it: "That's it, I thought you had something to do with her."
"Really not."
"Then it's boring. You can play your game." Seeing that he had no success, the factory director turned around and returned to his seat.
Xu Mo also started queuing for the game.
Start scoring!
While waiting in line, Xu Mo turned on the live broadcast.
Still on Shark Platform.
As soon as the live broadcast started, a lot of barrages appeared.
"Damn it, it's a scam!"
“Nima’s, it’s finally on air!”
"Have you almost forgotten that you are a host?"
"The host came out and got scolded!"
"I heard that I went to EDG, is it true?"
"..."
Familiar barrage, familiar audience.
Xu Mo also put on his headphones and said hello to the audience: "Hello, fellow idiots!"
At the same time, he also answered questions from the audience.
For example, whether the news about going to EDG is true, or what position to play in EDG, etc.
It wasn't until the game queue filled up that Xu Mo devoted his attention to the game.
Although Peanut and Dopa are now ranked higher, their Rank points are only 230 points higher than Xu Mo's. They only need two consecutive wins to overtake them and take back the first place.
Xu Mo was lucky. He chose Sword Girl for two consecutive games without encountering any particularly powerful opponents. In the end, he won both games.
Rank score successfully surpassed Dopa and Peanut, regaining the first place again.
And time has only passed an hour.
Xu Mo took the opportunity to glance at the live broadcast room and found that the popularity had reached 1.9 million.
And it's still on an upward trend.
There are also a lot of barrages.
"Oops, how can you get points as a companion? It's as easy as drinking water!"
"Is this the top showdown at the top of the canyon?"
"It's time to ban the Sword Girl on the other side."
"It's no exaggeration to say that I also have the hero Sword Girl."
"..."
Seeing how lively the live broadcast room was, Xu Mo was quite satisfied.
Most of these viewers should become their own stable audience groups in the future.
So, Xu Mo started the next round.
He planned to raise his Rank score first, and then deal with other matters.
Time flies by.
After a few more hours passed, Xu Mo's Rank score, which was extremely lucky, had already reached 1901 points.
The second-placed Dopa has only 1781 points.
A gap of more than 100 points opened up.
This terrifying speed of scoring made A Guang next to him envious: "Brother Mo, this is too outrageous. You can win a top ranked game like this all afternoon. I hate it so much!"
Xu Mo smiled: "As long as you have hands!"
A Guang's mouth twitched: "Hundan! From now on, I will ban you Sword Princess and Blind Monk every day to see what you do!"
In A Guang's eyes, Xu Mo mainly relied on the two heroes Sword Lady and Blind Monk to get points.
But Xu Mo didn't care at all.
The reason why he keeps playing Sword Princess and Blind Sin is entirely because these two heroes have permanent proficiency, and they are both heroes with relatively strong versions and easy to score points.
If these two heroes are really banned, then he can also play other ones.
Not to mention the ability to buy experience cards, there are as many as five permanent skilled heroes currently owned:
Sword Queen, Blind Monk, Lucian, Thresh and EZ.
Anyway, the ranking points are completely enough.
After bragging to A Guang and the audience, Xu Mo turned off the live broadcast.
Not long after the broadcast was turned off, Xu Mo saw Abu walking into the training room.
Abu walked straight to Xu Mo and said, "Come to the office with me."
Xu Mo was a little confused, but he still nodded and followed.
After arriving at the office, Abu looked at Xu Mo and asked seriously: "Do you know why I asked you to come?"
"I don't know." Xu Mo shook his head.
A Guang's expression made him a little puzzled.
It feels like something is going on...
But the next moment, Abramovich suddenly smiled: "It's because your 'No. 1 King' bonus has been secured. After you told me this morning, I contacted the official Riot staff and they asked you to provide your ID card." and bank cards”
Xu Mo:......
He finally understood that Abu was deliberately trying to scare him with his face.
However, Xu Mo was a little surprised by Abu's efficiency: "It's so fast!"
"Yes," Abu nodded, "Also, what professional ID are you going to use in the future? Is it the one you used in RNG before, or do you want to change it?"
Xu Mo thought for a while: "Just use Mo, I'm too lazy to change it."
"Okay, I will submit your list to the LPL officials tomorrow. Your status in the spring playoffs will be our team's substitute top laner." Abramovich said, "But I may not be able to arrange for you to play for the time being. After all, you have just Come on, I’m not getting along well enough with the team, I hope you can understand.”
"I understand." Xu Mo nodded.
Xu Mo's attitude satisfied Abramovich: "Hurry up and deal with all the things that need to be dealt with. We will start playing the game the day after tomorrow. As a substitute, you will definitely go with us."
"Okay."
…………
After leaving Abu's office, Xu Mo went directly back to his room.
He is not ready to continue playing ranked.
After fighting for most of the day, he was already a little haggard and just wanted to rest early.
…………
Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Mo opened his eyes, he received an income of 100,000 yuan.
It is the bonus officially issued by Riot Games.
There are currently nearly 200,000 yuan on the card...
Xu Mo was looking forward to the two million signing fee that EDG gave him.
However, you still have to pay tax on the signing fee. According to the tax rate, about 45% will be deducted, and the money you will receive will only be 1.1 million.
That adds up to about 1.3 million!
This is a great asset.
However, when he thought that this money could not even buy half a house in this magical city, Xu Mo's excitement suddenly waned by half.
There is still a long way to go before reaching the pinnacle of life...
It seems that you still have to work hard to make money!
……
In the afternoon, Xu Mo watched the game in the training room with his teammates and coaches.
Today is the start of the LPL spring playoffs. A total of eight teams are competing for the only ticket to the MSI mid-season tournament.
The eight teams are divided into two groups, A and B.
Group A: RNG, OMG, IG, IM
Group B: WE, EDG, QG, Newbeed
The playoffs will feature a BO5 knockout round.
The specific competition format is: A1 and B1 will directly enter the second round. A2 and B2 directly enter the first round. A3 and B4, B3 and A4 play extra games (A3 and B3 lead by one point). The winner advances to the first round, with the top half facing B2 and the bottom half facing A2.
EDG is B2 and goes directly to the first round.
Today, there are two games - IG vs. NB, QG vs. IM.
The winner between IG and NB will be EDG's opponent tomorrow.
While watching the game, Abramovich said: "Which team do you think can win, IG or NB?"
The factory director thought for a while: "It should be IG. This year's IG feels quite strong, and IG belongs to A3, leading by one point at the beginning."
"I also think," Meiko echoed, "we will most likely play IG tomorrow."
Abu nodded in agreement.
Then, he suddenly looked at Xu Mo: "Xu Mo, what do you think?"
"I think IG will be 1:3NB." Xu Mo bared his teeth and smiled.
Abramovich frowned: "You mean, IG will lose three games in a row to NB?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Xu Mo thought for a while: "Intuition."
Abu immediately glanced at him: "Don't be too ridiculous. IG's performance this season is not weak, especially with Rookie here, there is no way they will lose three games in a row."
Xu Mo smiled and did not refute.
He can't say that this is the experience brought by time travel...
According to the process before time travel, IG was defeated by NB in three consecutive games in the first game of the S7 spring playoffs, an unexpected defeat.
……
Two hours later.
The game between IG and NB is finally over.
And the ending was just as Xu Mo predicted.
IG lost three games in a row.
The final score IG1:3NB.
The eyes of Abu and others all fell on Xu Mo.
Abu looked at Xu Mo: "You are really wrong. IG was beaten by NB in three games. It is really surprising."
The factory director nodded: "Indeed, if this happens, we will play NB tomorrow."
Abu pondered: "It's okay, we are not afraid of playing NB. But we still have to have a meeting, and I will tell everyone what you need to pay attention to first."
Xu Mo originally wanted to fish, but to his surprise, Abu even specifically asked, "Xu Mo will come too."
Xu Mo only needs to follow a few people to the conference room on the fourth floor.
The next step is to listen to Abramovich's various data analysis and methods to target the strengths and weaknesses of NB players.
It sounds very professional.
The meeting was disbanded after a full two hours.
Next time, I will naturally watch another game between QG and IM.
But this game has little to do with EDG.
Xu Mo fished in the training room for a day, and after playing a few more games to rank up a few dozen points, the sky also darkened.
Abramovich came to the training room and told: "Everyone should rest early today and leave for the game early tomorrow morning."
With Abu's reminder, Xu Mo returned to his room early in the morning.
But what surprised him was that he did not receive any official contact from the live broadcast platform throughout the whole day.
Even Bai Jie, the operations director of Shark Live, who said she would consider it before, did not contact her.
On the contrary, many major guilds on both platforms called, but Xu Mo declined politely.
Ring ring ring......
Suddenly, Xu Mo's cell phone rang.
He took it out and looked at it, and was happy.
When Cao Cao arrived, the caller was none other than Bai Jie, the operations director of Shark Platform.
Xu Mo pressed connect.
"Mr. Xu, it's so late, am I not disturbing you?"
This is what the other party said when he opened his mouth.
"No, no." Xu Mo replied.
"Mr. Xu, after discussions with our Shark Platform Operations Department, we have finally decided to give you a signing fee of 2.6 million per year. This is our limit." The other person said, "We very much hope to be able to work with Xu. Sir, you reach a cooperation.”
Xu Mo thought for a moment: "I'll think about it again."
"Okay, Mr. Xu, if you have any needs, you can communicate with us at any time, and we will try our best to satisfy you."
"Okay."
Toot toot…
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mo fell into deep thought.
The annual signing fee of 2.6 million is actually not that small.
After all, it is only required to broadcast sixty hours a month, which is quite conscientious.
But there is still no movement on the Dog Tooth platform, and the team will play a game tomorrow. Xu Mo wants to wait and see if the 2.6 million given by Shark is really the limit.
Also wait for Dog Ya to see if there will be any surprises.
There's no rush in this matter anyway.
After sorting out the matter, Xu Mo washed up and prepared to sleep.
…………
Time always flies at night.
The next day, when Xu Mo woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Mo got up from the bed, opened the door, and found coach Abu standing outside.
"Morning, coach." Xu Mo greeted.
Abu nodded: "Pack up quickly and get ready to go to the competition site."
Today is the day that EDG officially enters the game.
Against NB! (End of chapter)
