LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 214: Brother Mozi is dating Rita, I'll pay for the hotel! (There will be another chapter at pm)
The EDG members were chatting and laughing on the way, and everyone had an unconcealable smile on their face.

With laughter all the way, everyone rode back to the training base.

The factory manager and Meiko were already sweating and panting.

The factory manager complained: "I will never ride again. My legs are numb."

Meiko agreed, "Yeah, I don't know which idiot came up with the idea of ​​riding back."

The factory manager didn't react at first, but when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he suddenly found a problem. Wasn't it him who proposed it?
He glanced at Meiko and saw that Meiko was trying to hold back a laugh.

"You are such a jerk, Tian Ye. You are scolding me in a roundabout way, right? You are so naive!" The factory director saw through it at a glance.

"Okay, Factory, you're also scolding me in a roundabout way, right?" Meiko was also unconvinced.

Only Su Mo felt something was wrong no matter how hard he listened.

Su Mo ignored them, turned around and returned to the training room with the trophy. Now there was something he had to do, live broadcast.

Now his fans are already in uprising and are going to start a rebellion if he doesn’t stop live streaming.

Su Mo turned on his computer and logged in, then went directly into his own live broadcast room to start the live broadcast.

Sure enough, before he started the live broadcast, many people were already chatting in the live broadcast room. As soon as the live broadcast started, his popularity instantly exceeded five million, and in the blink of an eye it reached eight million, and it was still rising wildly!
The comments in the live broadcast room are all:
"Welcome to FMVP! Welcome to FMVP! Welcome to FMVP!"

Su Mo called out, "Brothers, here I come!"

The live broadcast room was bombarded with gifts again!
There are so many people who gave Su Mo gifts, and I can’t thank them all enough.

The popularity of the live broadcast room has exceeded 10 million and is still rising.

Su Mo was a little surprised. This speed was unheard of.

Is this the value of LPL’s first world championship?

After thinking for a while, Su Mo found a topic to ask: "Everyone should know about the Champions Night event. The big guys should have participated in it. How did you feel about it?"

The audience in the live broadcast room was very active, with comments flying:
"It's boring, really boring. I logged in with great enthusiasm, but after reading the event description, I don't want to play anymore."

“I don’t know which god came up with this activity. It’s really disgusting.”

"I feel like they are here to disgust us on purpose and don't want us to be too happy."

“It takes a talent to come up with this kind of activity.”

Just as Su Mo thought, everyone was dissatisfied with this activity, and basically no one was satisfied.

Su Mo said, "In that case, I will send out 100W red packets and draw them in the live broadcast room. We can divide them into 100 shares and celebrate together."

Su Mo is not a stingy person. He knows very well that his current popularity is inseparable from the support of the audience and fans.

What's more, if you want to develop for a long time, it is very important to maintain a good reputation.

The live broadcast room instantly became lively:

"Brother Mozi is so generous! Brother Mozi is invincible!"

"There's a reason why Brother Mozi was able to win the championship."

"That's why no one else deserves this championship."

"Brother Mozi, take it easy, this is one million."

"Fuck, Brother Mozi is so rich, he can give out 100W at will."

"..."

Seeing a bunch of people discussing the topic in the barrage, Su Mo said, "The gifts you gave me are worth more than one million. I'm just giving you a portion of it back. Don't get so excited and act like it's so touching."

[Get +50 torture points from fans]

The originally good atmosphere was ruined by Su Mo.

Su Mo ignored the audience's complaints and continued, "By the way, for the sake of fairness and justice, I will directly hold a lottery for the barrage today. Whoever gets the screenshot will get to post any barrage they want."

Su Mo started taking screenshots and drawing lots. The process of drawing lots was quite simple.

After Su Mo took the screenshot, he identified the last person who posted a comment as the winning audience and took the initiative to chat with the other person privately.

This will avoid suspicion of behind-the-scenes manipulation and transferring money from one hand to the other.

"I will take the initiative to send private messages to you if you are the chosen brother. For other private messages, please regard them as scams and don't believe them easily." Su Mo reminded.

Then he found that he couldn't handle it alone, so he called the factory manager without hesitation: "Factory, come and help me pay!"

The factory manager, who was watching the excitement not far away, came closer and suspected that he had not heard clearly: "What can I do for you?"

"Pay the money!"

The factory manager politely responded: "Get lost!"

"Just kidding, use my phone to send them money." Su Mo smiled.

The barrage in the live broadcast room is still being sent crazily.

-

At the same time, EDG’s official Weibo is also organizing various activities, and the lucky draw has entered its second wave.

The main reason was that the fans were too enthusiastic before, and EDG was also generous enough to launch another five million event.

The raffle alone won 10 million.

Of course, this was nothing to Edzhu.

He had someone calculate how much profit he could make if EDG won the championship, and it would not be on the order of 10 million.

Therefore, taking out 10 million for the lottery now will not have any impact at all.

Su Mo finished drawing the lottery, and Abu walked in and said:

"Everyone, remember to post all the photos you took on your Weibo and share your joy with your fans."

Su Mo took out his cell phone and started selecting photos. In fact, he took quite a few photos.

After uploading the photos, Su Mo suddenly found that there were more than one familiar faces in the live broadcast room!
"Thank you to rich lady Rita for the ten big rockets. Thank you."

"Thank you, rich lady Luo Xin, for the ten big rockets. Thank you."

"Thank you sister Yu Shuang for the ten big rockets. Thank you."

The three of them came together, so it was hard not to suspect that they had discussed it in advance.

The live broadcast room was boiling with excitement:
"Oh my god, the sisters-in-law are here together? Are you checking on them together?"

"Who is the eldest sister-in-law and who is the second sister-in-law?"

"Don't spread rumors, Rita is my wife, she has nothing to do with Mozi (green)!"

"Although I am a die-hard fan of Brother Mozi, even Brother Mozi can't be so greedy."

"..."

Rita posted a comment: "Congratulations to Mozi for winning the S7 championship. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to wish you all the best."

In fact, Rita really wanted to call Su Mo to congratulate him when the game was over, but she was worried that it would affect his work, so she held it in until now.

Su Mo replied: "It's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

So the barrage began to boil:
"Don't talk about later, let's make an appointment tonight, tonight!"

"Brother Mozi, do you dare to take the initiative? Are you still a man?"

"Rita's wife is so proactive, how long are you going to wait, Brother Mozi!"

"As long as you dare to ask Rita out, I will book you a five-star hotel."

"You wanted to order one with a pinhole camera, you thought I didn't know that."

"..."

Su Mo simply ignored these abstract comments.

Just then, another wave of familiar faces came into the live broadcast room.

Remember, Wang Duoduo, Guan Zeyuan, Ren Dong...

The male commentator from LPL also came, and it seemed like they were queuing up to congratulate.

Maybe it was also for the purpose of showing his face. After all, the popularity of Su Mo's live broadcast room had exceeded 30 million, which was very scary.

For commentators and hosts, popularity and attention are their main ways to make money.

In fact, how much salary LPL can give you is highly related to the popularity of the commentator.

So they need to stay popular at all times, and look for whoever is popular and show their faces.

"Thank you for remembering to send 10 big rockets, thank you."

"Thank you Wang Duoduo for the 10 big rockets. Thank you."

"Thank you Guan Zeyuan for sending me 10 big rockets. Thank you."

"Thank you Ren Dong for sending me 10 big rockets. Thank you."

"Thank you for the rewards, big guys. Xiao Mo kowtows to you!"

Su Mo's shameless look makes people doubt whether he is really the world champion.

The commentators all had a tacit understanding and each of them gave out ten, no more and no less.

Guan Zeyuan said in the comment: "Congratulations, Mozi. I hope to see you competing again next year, bringing us more exciting games and honors, and bringing back the S8 championship!"

However, when he said this, the fans in the live broadcast room started to make noises:

"Hey! Guan Zeyuan, take back what you said. Don't say these things."

"Brother Mozi's keyboard is about to ooze milk."

"Stop breastfeeding. I can't bear it anymore."

"Brother Mozi still wants to fight for a few more years, so stop talking."

Wang Duoduo was not idle, posting comments:

“I wish Brother Mozi to win the S8 championship and achieve consecutive championships!”

Su Mo responded: "Thank you, thank you for your blessings."

Su Mo looked back at the others. Except for the factory manager who was next to him, everyone else was also broadcasting live, and they were all very lively and passionate.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "Chang, why don't you start a live broadcast? Your fans and friends can't wait."

Su Mo reminded him that he had indeed seen many people in his live broadcast room asking the factory manager to start the broadcast.

The factory manager hesitated, but nodded: "Okay, I'll leave then."

As the factory director just walked away, Su Mo suddenly noticed a series of gift special effects appearing on the screen.

And this time it's a super rocket.

"Thank you, Principal Wang, for the fifty super rockets!"

One super rocket costs two thousand yuan, and fifty of them cost one hundred thousand yuan.

But it's not over yet.

"Thank you, Principal Wang, for sending me the 100 super rockets."

"Thank you, Principal Wang, for sending me one hundred and fifty super rockets."

"Thank you, Principal Wang, for the two hundred super rockets."

As soon as Principal Wang came in, he started with a barrage of gifts, which made other people’s gifts pale in comparison!
The comments in the live broadcast room started to speculate:

"What is Principal Wang doing? He's not just here to give money."

"What do you know? This is a display of strength."

"It's a bit exaggerated. This is totally throwing money away."

"Principal Wang wants to poach people! I can see that he definitely wants to poach Brother Mozi."

"Thank you, Principal Wang, for the 500 super rockets." In the end, Principal Wang gave 500, which is one million!

Giving a gift worth one million as soon as you meet someone is really generous.

He hasn't said a word so far and I don't know what he is going to do.

Then, Principal Wang sent a simple comment: "Congratulations on winning the championship!"

At the same time, Su Mo heard the WeChat notification sound.

Su Mo looked down at his phone and found that it was a message from Principal Wang.

He had previously added Principal Wang as a friend.

"Come to IG, you set the conditions."

Principal Wang’s message is also very simple, but it contains a huge amount of information!
Su Mo was still considering how to respond. He had never thought about transfer and had no time to talk to Ed Zhu.

It's a bit difficult to answer this question suddenly at this time. At this time, a hot search came up on the hot search list.

#Principal Wang digs out Mozige

It is obvious that someone has noticed Principal Wang's behavior.

Everyone generally believed that he was here just to poach people.

Under normal circumstances, doing this kind of thing would definitely be done secretly.

I wouldn't choose to make such a big fuss.

But Principal Wang is different. He likes to do everything with fanfare.

This time is no exception.

Of course, there are also advantages to making a big fuss. It can put pressure on potential competitors and use your "money power" to make them give up.

Su Mo replied: "Sorry, Principal, I haven't thought about this issue yet."

Principal Wang responded: "It's okay, take your time to think about it, and you can come to me anytime when you have made up your mind."

At the same time, Abu, who was observing secretly, discovered the problem.

In fact, Abu was not idle either. He had been observing the live broadcast rooms of EDG members, especially Su Mo's.

When he left the competition venue after winning the championship today, he met Principal Wang. Principal Wang showed great interest in Su Mo at the time, so Abu felt that something might go wrong and became cautious.

Considering that Principal Wang just gave so many gifts, it can be basically confirmed that Principal Wang is here to poach people. Abu is not surprised, but he thinks that he should report the situation to the boss!

We can't let Principal Wang succeed.

……

Su Mo's live broadcast was still going on. He chose to log into the game and check out the activities of the Champions Night. Sure enough, it was the same as what he had seen on the forum before.

Su Mo also played a game himself and got nine championship treasure chests. There were three treasure chests in each stage of the group stage, knockout stage, and finals, which seemed like a lot.

"Brothers, let's try our luck and open the treasure chest!"

Su Mo clicked on the three group stage champion treasure chests. According to the instructions, these treasure chests contain random heroes and skins. These heroes must be those used by EDG in the group stage. Of course, they can only be used for thirty days.

The first one I got was EZ. Su Mo used this hero as a jungler. He had used him once. His skin was Spirit of Adventure, Ezreal.

Su Mo had a look of disgust on his face.

Open the second one, Galio, Blue Nightmare.

The third one is Janna, the goddess of storms

"What kind of garbage is this? I'm really sick of it." Su Mo couldn't help but curse.

Three consecutive rubbish skins from the ancient times are really unbearable.

The audience in the live broadcast room began to resonate:
"I suspect the planner of this event is an LCK fan, otherwise why is it so rubbish?"

"You know what? It's very possible. I can't think of any other reason."

"Is it any good for them to make us feel bad?"

"It was definitely done by LCK fans, absolutely!"

Su Mo continued to open the remaining six boxes. Although he got two pretty good skins, they were also rubbish because they had a validity period of thirty days.

Su Mo started the group right away: "If you ask me to plan this kind of activity, I won't make it this messy. It's really abstract."

So the live broadcast room also followed suit and cursed:

"That's true. The planning of Shabei is really disgusting. I think it's better to let Brother Mozi be the planner!"

"At least Brother Mozi can have some say, why should they let a bunch of losers who have never played a game decide?"

"That's right. The honor of LPL was fought for by Mozi, not them."

"I support Brother Mozi as the planner!"

Of course, this is just the fans' good wishes. Su Mo naturally cannot be the planner, and he will not consider it.

Soon, a hot search rushed into the top five.

#Mozige complains about the Champions Night event.

Soon, Su Mo, who was live streaming, received a message from the administrator:

“Please don’t follow the official tone and be careful with your words, otherwise you may face the punishment of having your live broadcast room banned.”

Seeing this, Su Mo was a little speechless:

"You're not allowed to talk about the rubbish of the event, and you're even meddling in my livestream?"

Seeing Su Mo's tone, fans were asking the reason, they did not see the message from the super administrator.

Su Mo explained: "Just now, the super administrator warned me that I can't control the pace of this event. What I mean is that even if the event doesn't go well, I have to endure it for them, otherwise the live broadcast room may be banned."

As soon as these words came out, the audience started a new round of rhythm:
"What a great official authority!"

"As expected of a big company, even a world champion is just an ant in their eyes."

"What else do you think? Go ahead and sue if you have the guts."

"Sue? Pizza Hut is playing a joke on you?"

"Brothers, log off, we don't want to play anymore, vote with your feet!"

"Since they don't treat us as human beings, there's no point for us to contribute to them!"

"..."

Su Mo was broadcasting live when suddenly, the door of the training room was pushed open. Abu walked in quickly, walked behind Su Mo and patted him on the shoulder.

Su Mo turned his head and saw that it was Abu. He took off his headphones and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come with me." Abu winked.

Su Mo stood up and followed Abu to the corridor outside.

After thinking for a while, Abu said, "Xiao Mo, I know you are very dissatisfied with this official event. I can understand that. This event is really not good, and I don't like it either."

"But you can't let your fans set the tone. If things get out of hand, it won't be good for you and our club. The official side has put pressure on us to discipline the players."

"Of course, I'm not blaming you. I just want you to control your fans."

Su Mo smiled: "This is the players' choice. Where there is oppression there is resistance. This is not something I can stir up with just a few words, nor is it something I can calm down with just a few words."

Abu was stunned.

Su Mo continued, "I hope the official will think carefully about who is more important and who can decide the rise and fall of their company, their planner or the players."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he went back to continue the live broadcast, while Abu fell into deep thought.

After returning, the audience in the live broadcast room were all worried whether Su Mo had been summoned for a talk.

Su Mo said: "It's nothing, don't worry."

Su Mo did not deliberately guide the audience to do anything, but instead gave them some dissuasion.

But even so, the hot searches related to this topic quickly reached the top spot.

#Players collectively protest against the Champions Night event#
But the most ironic thing is that below this hot search is another hot search:
#LOL online user number breaks historical record#
This was a hot search that came out before.

There is something special about the two trending searches being next to each other.

At this time, the League of Legends branch of TX headquarters.

The staff who were monitoring the game online in real time discovered the anomaly.

It was fine just now, and the number of people remained at the highest level in history.

But starting from ten o'clock, it dropped sharply!

"Something's happening!" So the people in the League of Legends division took action, trying to figure out what was going on.

At the same time, Principal Wang suddenly posted a Weibo:
"Who came up with this Champions Night event? Just give me this garbage. If you don't know how to organize an event, don't do it. Can you replace it with someone more capable? @EDG, Mo, I support what Mozi said. Players have the freedom to choose whether to play or not."

Principal Wang even specifically @Su Mo, which is really funny.

Principal Wang feels that a champion player like this, FMVP, cannot be obtained simply by money, and other things need to be provided, otherwise Faker would have been signed by the North American region long ago.

Fortunately, Su Mo didn't see it, otherwise he would have been a little panicked.

After all, he is not in the same league as Principal Wang now. Principal Wang is the real capital, while he is just a contestant...

Principal Wang's actions were quickly recognized by many players:

"Principal Wang still has a sense of justice."

"It's Principal Wang! We are saved!"

"Come on, Principal Wang!"

"Support Principal Wang!"

"I support Mozi to go to IG to find a mentor!"

A few minutes later, Principal Wang launched another lucky draw event and specifically stated:
"Celebrating LPL's first S-League championship, and celebrating Mozi's first S-League FMVP for LPL. Here are some benefits for everyone. PS: TX people cannot participate."

Principal Wang specifically mentioned that people from TX were not allowed to attend. His ability to stir up trouble is even worse than Su Mo's.

Principal Wang immediately received rave reviews.

However, the EDG fans who were concerned were getting anxious. Principal Wang had come out to express his opinion, but EDG, as Su Mo's club, had not spoken out. So they all went to comment on EDG's official account.

At this time, in Abu's office, Abu was closely following the developments.

The fact that things had escalated to this point was completely beyond his imagination.

I was originally very happy, but it was about to turn into a tragedy.

"TX is the same. He can't even organize a championship event. What business ability does he have? He makes so much money a year, but he can't even afford to give away an epic skin." Abu was also very resentful towards TX, but he only dared to say it secretly.

If TX had just organized the event better, nothing would have happened.

When he saw that Principal Wang was also involved and it was widely praised.

"Oh no! He's trying to win favor! This won't do!"

Abu could tell from the conversation with Su Mo just now that Su Mo was actually a person with a strong sense of justice. He might like to make fun of the audience and torture his fans at ordinary times, but on such major issues, his stance was very clear.

With Principal Wang’s performance, he might really be poached by IG.

Something even more outrageous happened. After Principal Wang spoke out, another heavyweight figure spoke out!
Bai Xing, the boss of RNG!

"Support Brother Mozi. This event is really hard to describe. I think the players are very resentful. The official should listen to the voices of the players and contestants. The current situation will only dampen everyone's enthusiasm."

"You are here too? Are you here to poach people?" Abu thought of this possibility.

What RNG lacks now? A good top laner.

Will Su Mo join RNG and make it weaker than the current EDG? No, I'm afraid it will only be stronger!
"No! No! Absolutely not!" Abu called Edzhu.

It doesn't matter if the sky falls, but Su Mo must not be poached.

Soon, the call was connected:

"Boss, something terrible has happened..."

At this time, Su Mo was still broadcasting live. Not only did the popularity of the live broadcast room not decrease, but it rose to 80 million, which was extremely terrifying.

Everyone is brushing on the barrage:

"I am a fan of RNG, but this time I support Mozi."

"I am a fan of WE, and I also support Mozi."

"I am a fan of IG, I support Brother Mozi."

"Comrades, now is the time for us to unite as one! No one should play the game, so that the Shabei planners will know who is the main force in the development of the game!"

Now it is no longer a matter between EDG and Su Mo, but a matter for all League of Legends players.

As the incident unfolded, the number of LOL online players continued to decline.

Things have escalated to this point, and even if some TX middle-level leaders want to suppress it, they can't.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo saw a piece of news.

EDG boss Ed Zhu expressed his support for Mozi’s just voice and that EDG will fully support him.

EDG also joined the game, together with IG and RNG before, and WE who just followed up, several major clubs came out to support. The larger clubs of EDG all stood on the side of Su Mo and the players, which was an overwhelming advantage.

So half an hour later, TX's emergency statement appeared on the Internet:
"Dear Summoner, we have received your feedback and apologize for our negligence in our work. Thank you for your valuable suggestions. We are replanning this Champions Night event..."

Soon after, news came out that TX's League of Legends division fired a planner.

This is obviously news released deliberately by TX. Their dismissal of employees is their internal matter and should not be reported in the news unless they want people to see it.

Players are still waiting for the next step, but TX's League of Legends division is already in chaos. If this matter is not handled properly, there may be a major purge internally. The planners who usually slack off can no longer sit still and are as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
