After celebrating the New Year at home, Su Chen embarked on a journey back to the Magic City.

"Have all your things packed. You should take care of yourself when you go out." Su's mother warned her while stuffing things into Su Chen's suitcase.

"Brother, can I go to Magic City to play with you during the summer vacation? I also want to see with my own eyes what the LPL club looks like." Su Yuan asked secretly.

"If you can pass the high school entrance examination in June and get into a key high school in Jiangzhou, then I agree." Su Chen said seriously.

"Don't worry, I've got a sure deal." Su Yuan patted his chest, his face full of pride.

Su Chen smiled and rubbed his brother's head, then picked up Su Xiaoduo and coaxed him for a while.

The commercial car that came to take him to the train station also arrived at the door of his house.

While his brother was moving his luggage, Su's father took Su Chen aside. After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Xiaochen, dad doesn't have much ability, unlike you who can make a lot of money, but before leaving, I still want to give you a few words."

"Although Dad doesn't understand what e-sports is now, since this is the path you have chosen, no matter how difficult it is in the future, you must grit your teeth and keep going."

"Men, you have to do what you say."

Su Chen nodded solemnly: "Dad, I remember, you two should stop working so hard. It's really not possible. Opening a small supermarket is better than getting up early every day and working late at night. Now the family is not short of money."

During the Chinese New Year, Su Chen had already signed the contract with ym. On the same day, Mr. Pei transferred the signing fee of 4 million, plus the first month's basic salary, a total of 4.2 million to Su Chen's card.

Including the savings from previous live broadcasts, Su Chen now has more than 5 million in deposits on his card.

He also left two million to his family, which was enough to support his parents and two younger siblings for several years.

"Don't worry, my son is going to be successful, and your mother and I will enjoy happiness in advance." Su's father said with a smile.

Su Chen said goodbye to his family with a smile and got into the commercial car heading to the train station.

…

Magic City.

Luxurious commercial location.

Several large trucks were parked in front of a luxurious building, and uniformed porters were carrying various e-sports equipment from the containers.

Xiaotian, who was wearing a down jacket, looked up at the logo on the top of the office building and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and shoot a short video.

"Damn it! Is this our new base? This is too awesome!"

After entering lpl, ym underwent a comprehensive upgrade.

First of all, the original team logo was replaced with a new pattern.

The new ym team logo is a conceptual image of a three-masted sailing ship sailing on the sea. The flagpole and the waves on the bottom of the ship form the word "ym".

"Our new team logo seems to have something to say." He held his cell phone in his left hand and flipped through online comments.

"What's that?" Su Chen asked curiously.

"You can directly search for topics related to the Four Emperors of LPL on Weibo." Zuo Zuo smiled.

Su Chen glanced at

Since the transfer period passed, lpl suddenly became popular with the meme "the old era ends, lpl enters a new era of four emperors".

The plot of "Yonko" comes from the neon comic "One Piece" and represents the four strongest bosses in it.

rng, edg, we, and ig, who received comprehensive reinforcements during the transfer period, are known as the four emperors of lpl in the s8 season.

What’s interesting is that after Jiangsu University of Science and Technology announced that it had officially signed a contract with ym.

Some fans compared YM led by Jiang Keda to the Straw Hat Pirates, the protagonist team in "One Piece".

In the comics, the Straw Hat Pirates first developed in the old world, and then broke into the great route known as the "New World" and began to collide head-on with the big boss, the Four Emperors.

This is somewhat similar to YM who was promoted from LSPL to LPL.

Various big influencers on the Internet started their secondary creations directly.

Someone directly put Su Chen's avatar on the face of One Piece protagonist Luffy.

The two lieutenants beside him, Zoro and Sanji, slapped Zuo Zuo and Xiao Tian on their faces respectively.

After this spoof picture was posted, the comment section was filled with joy.

[Why is Xiaotian the one who cooks Sanji? It implies that Xiaotian is the chef, right? 】

[Haha, you already have Zoro and Sanji, are you still missing two partners? Don’t tell me that ym’s bottom lane is worthy of Usopp and Franky’s roles!]

[This picture is so fun for me. Why hasn’t the spring game started yet? I’m so anxious! I want to see Luffy fight the Yonko! 】

Others dug out the video of the LSPL Winter Finals, where Su Chen announced his entry into the LPL at the award ceremony, and cut his voice into Luffy's classic lines, which made fans say they were extremely embarrassed.

After reading this, Su Chen was also amused.

"These people are really geniuses." Su Chen said with a smile.

No wonder ym’s new logo is designed to look like a three-masted sailboat.

It's a direct official joke.

After an afternoon of sorting.

The ym team members are all settled in the new base.

The members of the first team, except for the bottom duo, share a room to facilitate communication.

Su Chen, Zuo Zuo, and Xiao Tian all have separate rooms.

pdd also inspected the scene, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Teacher, you've made such a big deal at the beginning of the new year. Has the club received any new financing recently?" Su Chen asked.

pdd chuckled: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei has invested a large amount of funds in the club. YM's current financial situation is very good. After all, we are also an LPL team, and we must upgrade in all aspects."

After that, pdd announced the club’s S8 season plan.

First, the four members of the first team, except Su Chen, all received a salary increase to 20,000 yuan a month.

Of course, this basic salary is not unconditional. Each team member's ranking score in Top of the Canyon and Cold Server is linked to the basic salary.

In addition, a full-year bonus pool totaling two million yuan has been set up. As long as the target is reached, bonuses of different amounts will be obtained.

Plus the sharing terms of the live broadcast contract and so on.

Su Chen did the math and found that if S8 could win the championship, Zuo Zuo, Xiaotian and the others' annual income would basically be more than 500,000 yuan.

For these seventeen or eighteen year olds, this income is already very good.

After learning about the salary increase, everyone was very happy.

Soon, Mengma held the first team meeting of the new season, and then arranged a series of training tasks.

…

7pm.

After a day of training, the ym team members had dinner cooked by the aunt at the base, and then began their free time.

When Su Chen was about to go back to his room to continue training, he was stopped by Xiaotian.

"Brother Chen, don't you want to watch tonight's "Canteen Weekend Night"?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment: "What is that on Saturday night in the dining hall?"

Xiaotian thought for a while: "A very professional program explaining LPL games. The host is Guan Zeyuan, the official commentator of LPL. I remember and Cat King. The theme tonight is a review of the German Cup, plus a preview of the S8 spring game.

.”

"Okay, let's take a look together." Su Chen nodded and called his left hand over.

The three people gathered in front of the computer and clicked into Dousha's official lpl live broadcast room.

After a highlight clip edited from the German Cup match ended.

Guan Zeyuan, who was wearing a pirate suit, remembered that the three cat king brothers appeared in a room full of One Piece elements.

Su Chen's face twitched, and Xiaotian next to him broke out in laughter.

"Good evening, audience friends! Welcome to this week's "Canteen Weekend Night", I am Zeyuan!" Guan Zeyuan, wearing a white beard, stretched out his "hook" right hand and waved towards the camera.

"Good evening, I remember!" Wang remembers, wearing a red wig, said seriously.

"I'm cat." The Cat King, wearing a women's dress, had an awkward smile on his face.

The costumes of the three people are clearly identifiable at a glance, corresponding to the "white beard", "red hair" and "aunt" in the Yonko.

"Well, I want to apologize to everyone. The Four Emperors are missing Kaido. We originally invited Teacher Miller to come over, but he rejected us, so we have to do this." Guan Zeyuan said regretfully.

The three of them got up right at the beginning and immediately amused the audience in the live broadcast room.

After the banter was over.

The three brothers, first of all, reviewed the Demacia Cup League that ended not long ago.

After the winter transfer period ended, LPL teams also made their appearances in the German Cup.

Although it is not as good as the official league of LPL, from the German Cup, we can also get a glimpse of the status of major teams in the new season.
