[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

Li Zhi belatedly realized what Xie Jichuan was calling him.

The control skill I was holding slipped out of my hand and exploded on the empty ground next to 369's feet, failing to control anything.

His face flushed red, he shouted loudly, "Xie Jichuan! I told you not to call me that anymore!"

Even without controlling the enemy, Xie Jichuan still managed to take down 369 with just half a skill combo.

And very sensibly, she moved a step to the side, giving the center position of the corpse to Kurichi for dancing.

369 in the Sky: "..."

Hearing Li Zhi's exasperated voice, Xie Jichuan's eyes crinkled with amusement. He feigned surprise and spoke in an innocent tone:

"Sorry, I just usually call them by their teammate's ID."

Jiang Xingle, who had listened to their flirting for two whole rounds, finally couldn't take it anymore and silently typed out a question in response.

[Whoever gives milk is my mother: Captain, why haven't I ever heard you call out my ID?]

Their private time was interrupted, and Xie Jichuan's smile straightened slightly.

[Chuan: Is there any word in your ID that's worth me reading aloud?]

Jiang Xingle opened his mouth, then closed it again.

[Whoever provides milk is my mother: Oh, oh...]

Ling Wang glanced at Jiang Xingle expressionlessly, then paused for a couple of seconds, seemingly lost in thought.

He had only recently joined the team and was still learning how to get along with his teammates.

He didn't quite understand what it meant to fit in, but he knew that when everyone was chatting, the person who didn't speak was the one who didn't fit in.

So Ling Wang joined the chat as well.

[L: Captain, you can also say my ID.]

Xie Jichuan: "..."

His tone returned to its usual calm: "L, go push the bottom lane high ground."

Ling Wang gave a satisfied "Oh" and began to auto-attack the bottom lane high ground tower with his hero.

Despite losing only a sliver of health, he couldn't hide his pride.

I've taken another small step on my path to fitting in, which is great.

She glanced at Cheng Yi with a slightly reserved air.

He and Cheng Yi usually talk the least, and this time Cheng Yi didn't join their conversation, so he was more sociable.

With this in mind, Ling Wang pushed the tower even harder.

On the lonely road of confrontation, even though the enemy bottom lane had been pushed to the high ground, the two top laners were still cautiously engaging in a 1v1 in front of the first tower.

Cheng Yi rubbed his slightly itchy nose, and vaguely felt as if someone was talking to him.

But soon, the enemy top laner launched a new wave of attacks, and Cheng Yi immediately focused on meeting them.

However, before they could determine a winner, the opposing top laner rushed back to defend their crystal.

Cheng Yi could only start pushing the tower with a somewhat tedious attitude.

The game was quickly ended by RAK again, and the training match ended 2-0.

The chat channel buzzed with excitement. Everyone knew that after this training match, Li Zhi was confirmed to stay with RAK, and they all sent their congratulations.

Only 369 was furious, his words dripping with anger.

[999 Cold Remedy: Once we find a suitable starting mid laner, we definitely won't let you win so easily again.]

Li Zhi chuckled softly.

He knew, of course, that 369 was right. UUC wasn't lacking in strength; it was just that their lineup wasn't right today, and they didn't have a suitable mid-laner.

He might not be able to win after they've gelled, but that doesn't stop him from continuing his provocations.

[Chuan Chuan Baby: It's hard to say if you're here.]

369 is silent.

The chat channel was silent for two seconds before Chi Lie's message popped up.

[The Universe's Number One Jungler: Hey Liang, are you there? Your mid laner made our marksman's face turn red with anger, how about you compensate us some money?]

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, continuing her provocation.

[Chuan Chuan Baby: Whether you compensate me or not is another matter, but how about you pay for the 369 yuan blush first?]

[The Universe's Number One Jungler: ...]

Chi Lie was convinced.

369 is so angry he'd practically turned into Guan Yu and go perform in an opera, but he's still pulling at his blush.

Liang Shoucheng finally witnessed Li Zhi's true strength.

Although this kid has a unique playstyle and needs to work on his teamwork, his skills are undeniable, and talent is something not everyone can have.

He was very satisfied with Li Zhi, so he turned a blind eye to Chi Lie's accusations.

It's inappropriate for a parent to get involved in a child's squabble.

He gave Song Bo a look.

Suddenly inspired, Song Bo walked over with a smile and called out to Li Zhi, "Lychee, come upstairs with me to sign the contract."

Li Zhi subconsciously looked at Xie Jichuan, who also took off his headphones and looked at him with a smile.

"Don't worry, RAK's treatment will satisfy you."

Once they reached the office upstairs, Li Zhicai understood why Xie Jichuan could be so confident in saying he would be satisfied.

He stared at the $500 million annual salary on the contract page, dumbfounded.

Li Zhi's voice trembled: "Brother Bo... I'm just a newbie, am I worth that much money?"

To be honest, the 1.5 million that UUC initially offered him was already the highest among newcomers.

Five million, that's equivalent to the starting lineup of some Group A or Group B teams that have been playing for two or three years.

Song Bo looked at him with a smile, his tone as gentle as if he were coaxing his own child:

"This contract was approved by our big boss, and River personally checked it twice a couple of days ago, so you can sign it with confidence."

Li Zhi picked up the pen, signing as she asked suspiciously, "Why would the big boss agree to give me so much?"

It's not that he lacks confidence in himself, but rather that he has a basic understanding of the world.

A rookie Omega mid laner who hasn't even played a single official match, earning an annual salary of five million is an outrageous figure in the entire WPL.

Song Bo was happy to be a kind-hearted insider.

He stood to the side, hands in his pockets: "River talked to the boss about it all; I don't know the specifics."

"Anyway, it seems he brought with him some gameplay videos from when you played for QW. The videos are almost an hour long. I don't know where River got the patience to dig them out bit by bit and edit them together."

Li Zhi paused, her hand holding the pen faltering, her mind wavering.

A single highlighting operation takes only a few dozen seconds.

To be able to edit out a video that's an hour long, that means Xie Jichuan had to go through countless recordings, Li Zhi dared not even calculate.

There are no official live broadcasts of the youth training team's training matches. To find those clips, you have to go through those scattered screen recordings and search for clues one by one in abandoned forums.

Xie Jichuan went to so much trouble just to tell the big boss:

Look, this is Lychee.

This is the person I chose; he's worth the price.

Li Zhi stared at her signed name on the contract and suddenly felt a soft feeling in her heart.

He cursed himself for being spineless and pushed the contract to Song Bo: "It's signed."

Song Bo picked it up, inspected it, and then put it away with a smile.

Welcome to RAK.

Li Zhi shook hands with Song Bo and then turned to leave, secretly planning when to go back to her rented room to move her luggage to the base.

The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Xie Jichuan leaning against the wall across the corridor, pretending to be asleep and waiting for him.

Seeing Li Zhi come out, Xie Jichuan opened his eyes, walked over, bent down, and looked at the Omega at eye level.

Deep, slightly hoarse voice:

"Have some of the little Omegas forgotten the doctor's orders? What happened to the pheromone exchange?"
