She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

"Our goal is to win every match until we become world champions!" Liu Keke replied instinctively without hesitation. "And for the future, we've already devised a systematic and efficient plan..."

Su Mu and Bai Wei exchanged a glance, then looked at Liu Keke, whose eyes seemed to be shining, and listened quietly to her long speech without any impatience.

The training plan, diet, rest, and health of the athletes are all included.

Liu Keke talked for a long time in one breath, until she got a little thirsty, picked up the mineral water bottle on the table, unscrewed it, and took a couple of sips. Only then did she realize that she had not only lost her composure, but had also revealed some things that she shouldn't have said about the club.

However, considering the value of the two people in front of her, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Does your boss support you doing this?

“I support this. Apart from the fact that the total annual budget is allocated by the boss, I have the most power in the entire League of Legends division, including how to allocate the given annual budget.”

"That's rare... I have another question. As far as I know, the LPL team slots haven't been finalized yet, right?"

Su Mu's pupils darted around.

"There are only seventeen spots, but fifty or sixty clubs are vying for them, not even counting the amateur teams whose eligibility for the competition hasn't been officially determined. It seems your plans are missing this element."

Liu Keke paused, then shook her head slightly, "It's definitely not in the plan."

"Did your boss know about this? And what's the reason?"

"The boss is aware of this. I have absolute authority over the League of Legends division. If we can't even secure a team spot, then there's no point in me diving headfirst into the esports world."

At this point, Liu Keke added firmly and in a deep voice, "Winning every match is the goal, but securing an LPL team spot is not the goal; it's—a definite fact that must be achieved!"

After speaking, Liu Keke put down the mineral water bottle in her hand, glanced at the jade bracelet on her wrist, and looked at it with a complicated expression.

Although her sister supports her in doing what she wants, how can she live up to her family's trust if she doesn't make a name for herself?

If she could secure these two young players, she was confident she could build a versatile team around them, but unfortunately… V

"I apologize for saying so much without realizing it. I won't keep Miss Su Mu and Miss Bai Wei from finding a suitable team any longer. I hope to see you on the field again in the future."

Liu Keke sighed, stood up, and prepared to leave.

The very next second after she turned around, Su Mu's voice made her involuntarily stop in her tracks, frozen in place.

“We’ve found the right team, and the people who can sign us are right here.”

Liu Keke turned around again, her body stiffening slightly. Her expression was a mixture of surprise and uncertainty as she hesitated, "You had already signed with another team before me...?"

No, no!

Or…

A thought popped into her mind that made her want to jump for joy, yet was also hard to believe.

"what do you mean--"

"Just like you think, we chose to join WLD, and the club's name is nice, I like it too."

The indifference and scrutiny on Su Mu's face vanished completely, replaced by a gentle smile.

Whether it's overestimating one's abilities or being overly ambitious, it doesn't matter.

People always need the motivation to move forward and to put in the effort to achieve it.

As a professional player, you can have nothing, but you can't lack the desire to win. This applies to the coaching staff and even the entire club.

League of Legends is a team-based competitive game. In a club where the upper echelons are corrupt, the person who wants to win is an outlier.

She didn't want to be that kind of oddball; it was ridiculous, and even more pathetic.

After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Liu Keke quickly returned to her seat, looking at Su Mu and the other person with a mixture of helplessness and delight.

After the conversation, I thought there was no hope, but to my surprise, the two genius girls in front of me said they wanted to join WLD.

Without any warning, it happened very suddenly.

“Although I’m very happy, I’m still very curious why you’re willing to join WLD,” Liu Keke asked.

Leaving aside the people who spoke with Su Mu first, even just considering the ESG team manager who brushed past her not long ago, the club's foundation is far stronger than WLD's.

It's the kind of club that has the funds to build a super team.

Based on her guess, the total value of the benefits ESG offered to Su Mu and his companion would conservatively be no less than thirty million…

It's worth noting that Youzi, a player for the RT team, is currently ranked in the top three on the international server, and his annual salary is already this much.

To those who don't know the situation, Youzi is a ruthless character who has successfully transformed himself.

But Liu Keke knew that every time Su Mu was matched with Youzi on the international server, he never experienced a disadvantage in the laning phase...

Even without looking at it from a different angle, it's clear how terrifying Su Mu's true skill level is. To put it bluntly, his individual strength is so formidable in the entire LPL that he's capable of securing a top-two finish.

Ever since she learned that Su Mu was Su Mu, Liu Keke didn't have high hopes of signing her. After all, a young genius who hadn't signed with a team for a long time must have her own plans.

My conversation with Liang Wenmei a few days ago revealed that she was already involved in the e-sports circle and knew all the intricacies of it.

Especially after talking to Su Mu face-to-face and observing her today, I am even more convinced of this conclusion. Those guys who walked in with confidence but left with ugly faces are the best proof.

A beautiful girl who looks to be under 20 years old is unlikely to be easily fooled.

If someone is dissatisfied with a multi-million dollar annual salary but is willing to join WLD, how can you not be curious?

Su Mu could tell what Liu Keke was thinking without even having to guess, and he chuckled softly as he spoke.

Before I give my answer, let me guess what the current situation is like at WLD?

"you say…"

"Is WLD's budget mainly focused on the coaching staff and players, and they haven't really considered sponsors?"

Liu Keke was taken aback. "How did you know?"

"Don't ask yet, can you tell me why you won't?"

"I don't have the energy to talk to sponsors. If I can't even find the players I want, there's no competition to be held. Even if sponsors come to me, I will refuse."

"The boss doesn't care?"

"She's my own sister, it's none of my business."

149. I really want to kiss her.

Su Mu was almost speechless by these words, and glanced at Liu Keke with a strange look.

"...Okay, there's no need to ask any more questions. The reason we joined WLD is simple: because—"

Su Mu's smile deepened as he gazed into her eyes and slowly said, "Your expression and actions tell me that you want to win, that you want WLD to win, and that's enough."

Liu Keke was stunned for a moment, and then a very clean and pure smile appeared on her face.

It seems today is her lucky day, as she has found two kindred spirits with unwavering ideals, who could even be described as close friends despite their age difference.

The three of them smiled at each other, then reached out and shook hands.

Seeing Su Mu's satisfied smile, Bai Wei's dimples unconsciously appeared on her face.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

……

The following morning, Su Mu and his group boarded a flight back to Guangzhou and landed at Baiyun Airport on time.

Liu Keke revealed that through this national college league, the LPL organizing committee has accumulated some experience and set the start time for the competition to determine the allocation of LPL team slots.

No more, no less, exactly four months later.

As of now, two players are still undecided for WLD's starting lineup. However, Liu Keke is very optimistic about this, claiming that with Su Mu and Bai Wei as their two signature players, she is not worried about young people with strength and ideals who are still observing not being tempted.

The entire development of WLD was planned by Liu Keke, and everything seemed to be in good order.

Su Mu and Bai Wei have already signed their contracts and agreed to join the team and begin training a month later, which is exactly the time Liu Keke said they would gather all five members.

That's perfect, they have one more thing to do before joining the team.

That is to participate in the annual Chinese music semi-variety show competition, Music Voice.

Any new musician who hasn't debuted can participate in Music Voice. "Not debuting" generally refers to someone who doesn't have a management company and is a completely free agent.

This is an alternative path that Su Mu left for Bai Wei. After all, she has shown such sincerity and silently supported him, so he can't let her risk being buried at the end of her life.

Most musicians who emerge from the music scene have smooth and successful careers.

Even if one leaves behind a brilliant mark and then chooses to temporarily depart, it only means that the gold's brilliance is temporarily buried by dust, not that it has completely dimmed.

In a sense, isn't this also leaving oneself a way out?

Professional players' careers are very short. After they finish, if they don't want to stay in the esports scene or sell meat floss cakes after retirement, becoming a musician is also a good option.

Unlike esports, she has many advantages in music...

……

After a comfortable day of rest to relieve the fatigue accumulated from the competition, Su Mu leisurely washed the dishes after breakfast, preparing to return to school in half an hour.

Seeing that Bai Wei looked like she was about to leave without disguising herself, he blinked and quickly grabbed her.

"Wait! If you don't want to encounter unnecessary trouble along the way, it's best to wear a mask and a hat."

"Why?" Bai Wei tilted her head slightly, looking a little dazed, her innocent and charming appearance was very endearing.

Su Mu smiled helplessly, pulled her back to the room, opened the wardrobe, and started picking out a winter-style windproof hat for her.

"Have you forgotten the time we were surrounded at the airport and asked for autographs?"

"..."

So that's how it is...

Bai Wei couldn't help but smile wryly. She really hadn't expected to meet so many fans offline one day, and she wasn't used to it at all.

She didn't use her real personal information when releasing music in the past, and even though she had some fame and fans in the music industry, no one knew her real identity.

Unlike the National College League, the official schedule and the colleges to which the players' teams belong are made public, so you can easily find out who they are by asking around.

The offline tournament has been a real event for quite some time, so it's normal for it to attract some fans who love League of Legends.

Not to mention that idol contestants are not only talented, but also incredibly good-looking.

In addition to Su Mu's identity as a streamer, the number of fans accumulated under the IDs Su Mu and Tian Cheng is conservatively estimated to be in the millions.

After all, most domestic LOL players now know that Su Mu is the captain and mid-laner of the national college league champion team, and her designated duo partner, Tian Cheng, is the jungler in the team.

On the Shark platform, Su Mu's live stream already has millions of followers.

In a broader sense, they are now considered semi-public figures, and the probability of being recognized or bumping into fans when they go out is not small, so it is necessary to disguise themselves when going out.

It's alright in winter, but wearing a mask in the sweltering summer is really inconvenient.

Su Mu helped Bai Wei put on the light gray knitted hat, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw how lovely she looked in front of him.

Bai Wei is going to Changsha, or more precisely, to go back to her parents' home.

The reason wasn't given, but she could more or less guess it.

I originally wanted to go with Bai Wei, but for some reason Bai Wei politely declined, no matter how much I pleaded and begged.

In the end, Su Mu could only succumb to Bai Wei's rosy cheeks and give up his idea.

Bai Wei probably doesn't want to worry me. Her good personality doesn't mean she lacks her own opinions. In that case, I'll choose to trust her.

"Can you come home for dinner tonight?"

"Sure, thank you Mumu! I'll cook for you tomorrow~"

"Okay, have a safe trip, mua~" Su Mu put two fingers to her lips and gave Bai Wei a small kiss.

Looking at Su Mu's bright and warm smile, Bai Wei had an urge to actually kiss her.

In this situation... should... it be okay? (Nine)

Anyway, we've been sleeping together for so long, it's normal for girls to hold hands and kiss, right? So Mumu shouldn't suspect anything, right? Ling

"Mumu, this won't do, it's too perfunctory..." Qi

"Perfunctory?" Su Mu didn't understand what Bai Wei meant.

"Yes, just going through the motions..." (noon)

As she spoke, Bai Wei loosened her small fists hidden in her sleeves, mustered her courage, and took a few steps to Su Mu's front, lightly pressing her lips to Su Mu's cheek.

"I see other girls treat their best friends like this, so I'm going now, bye-bye~"

Without giving Su Mu time to express her thoughts, she grabbed a gray mask with an Aquarius logo and strode out of the room, leaving Su Mu with only her back view.
