What?
There’s really such a thing?
Tang Chen replied immediately.
“Brother Xie, I can come over right now!!!”
【??? Chen, did you forget something?】
【Hahahahaha, I’m dying laughing. Did you forget you’re still streaming, Chen?】
【Chen, wake up! Wake up! Are you abandoning the stream?】
Tang Chen covered his phone and looked seriously at them.
“Here’s the plan: I’ll go check out the big villa now. If it’s okay, I’ll livestream it for you all to see! What do you think of that idea?”
【Hahaha, I knew it, you just want to see the big villa! We’ve got you figured out!】
【Fine, fine. Since you begged us so pitifully, go ahead. And if you can, make sure we see the big villa!!!】
【I want to see too +1, let me witness a villa that spans several acres!】
Great!
All my viewers agreed!
Tang Chen was thrilled and quickly ended the stream.
“Brother Xie, what’s the address? I’ll head over right now! After touring the villa with you, I can go for the trial!”
Even though he had a place at home, he couldn’t resist a good opportunity.
…
Xie Liu stared in disbelief as this kid ended the stream outright, messing up his carefully laid plans.
But since Tang Chen said he might livestream the villa if allowed, Xie Liu thought for a moment and sent him the address, then quickly reported to Mr. Yin.
“Hello, Mr. Yin. Tang Chen has ended the stream, but he told viewers he might livestream the team base. Is that okay on your side?”
Team base?
Yin Chen, already dressed differently, froze.
Does that mean he’ll meet Tang Chen in person? And be on camera?
If so…
He reluctantly changed clothes back.
“Okay. I have something suddenly come up this afternoon, so my assistant will take you there. That’s fine, right?”
Xie Liu quickly replied.
“Of course, Mr. Yin. Your matters come first. We’ll follow your arrangements.”
That put him at ease.
Having the big boss personally guide them was intimidating, so this was even better!
Soon, an assistant calling themselves Ah Mao contacted him.
By coincidence, an anxious Tang Chen had just arrived.
“Brother Xie!”
He eagerly ran toward the assistant.
“You must be Brother Xie, right?”
Ah Mao was stunned.
Then he looked at Xie Liu.
Xie Liu stepped forward expressionlessly and turned Tang Chen’s gaze toward Ah Mao.
“I’m Xie Liu. Sorry about that.”
Tang Chen’s enthusiasm instantly dropped a bit.
…
Are you superficial? This attitude is way different!
Xie Liu was almost furious, scolding, “Don’t call people randomly. This is the assistant from our big sponsor, Assistant Zhong.”
Tang Chen awkwardly laughed and quickly corrected himself.
“Hello, Assistant Zhong!”
Ah Mao smiled.
“Hello. Kids are always full of energy.”
“I heard you’re going to livestream, right?”
Ah Mao went straight to the point.
“Mr. Yin said livestreaming is okay. The security system is excellent, so no worries. But once the team is formed, no streams of this villa will be allowed.”
Tang Chen nodded rapidly, feverishly taking out his “equipment.”
Ah Mao paused. “Oh, one more thing.”
He pointed to another gate next door.
“Don’t film that villa. It’s another private villa of Mr. Yin. He occasionally stays there, so keep it private.”
Xie Liu was shocked.
Tang Chen was shocked.
Viewers who only heard the sound but didn’t see the camera were shocked too.
【…I don’t even know what words can express my jealousy! Another villa! Another villa! I can’t, I’m dying. Poor people shouldn’t exist.】
【I’m okay. At least I’ve heard the team sponsor is Mr. Yin…】
【? Which Mr. Yin? The super-rich sponsor I’m thinking of? Quick! Show me the villa!】
【Smoke_sigh.jpg. Yep, that insanely rich dad. I can’t even feel jealousy anymore, only the smell of money!】
After a while, Xie Liu, who had experienced billions, barely smiled.
“Alright, Tang Chen, heard that? Don’t film that one!”
Good, very good.
Since Mr. Yin is that rich, he felt reassured.
Tang Chen, a bit confused, nodded and turned on the camera.
…
Mr. Yin seems extremely rich!
So that makes Brother Zong look impressive too—friends with Mr. Yin!
As the camera opened, viewers were immediately drawn to the grand villa.
Ah Mao walked and explained.
“These flowers outside are rare varieties, but don’t worry; a gardener tends to them daily.”
“Ohhh.”
Tang Chen carefully panned the camera over the garden.
【??? Rare? I think I see flowers I know—aren’t these used for world-class perfumes? I remember a single plant sold for auction in the hundreds!】
【Shocked! I thought it was just a normal villa, but even the flowers are so fancy?】
【I can’t even be jealous anymore. May I ask if the sponsor is still looking for a wife? I volunteer!】
Ah Mao continued walking.
“There’s an outdoor pool, also maintained by staff. There’s an indoor pool too; if you want to use it, you can apply through the team’s budget, and it’ll be covered from the team funds.”
What? Covered by the budget?
Hearing “budget,” Xie Liu tensed.
“No need, one pool is enough. They’re young guys; no need for the indoor pool.”
【? Did the agent answer too quickly and reveal something?】
【Hahaha, I finally feel a kindred spirit! The agent is definitely reluctant to spend that money!】
【Rich people’s villa… can I practice my skills in time? I want to live there too quq.】
Yin Chen’s alternate account quietly watched the stream, feeling a bit regretful as the viewers’ jealousy grew.
Too bad.
This kind of flaunting should’ve been his moment!
He had never experienced showing off wealth like this; it was surprisingly satisfying!
…
Never mind.
Thinking of his nearly incalculable assets, the regret vanished instantly.
Opportunities like this were nothing for him.
But there was still one more thing to do.
Yin Chen made a call.
“Quickly clip Tang Chen’s livestream and post it online. Also, guide the situation with Zhang Taining, so attention shifts to the team news.”
“Understood, Mr. Yin.”
Half an hour later, a new video on the DYX platform went viral.
The title caught countless curious netizens:
【Billionaire Daddy Invests in New Team BZ; First Reveal of BZ Base—A Million-Square-Foot Ultra-Luxury Villa!】
【Whoa! 66666, I thought it was clickbait, but it’s real?】
【A million-square-foot villa? Wow! Who’s the billionaire daddy? I’ve never heard of him!】
【So the rumor about Mr. Yin building a team is true? Incredible! I envy e-sports players now, their perks are insane!】
【Wait! The rumored invite list was real too? How about the recent cheating sniping incident—are those people on the invite list?】
【? Don’t spread rumors without proof. Those videos clearly show someone acted provocatively first. When did cheating become evidence?】
【Funny, if it wasn’t sniping, how did four matches all match together? You think the game is broken?】
【Hard to say. The invites are based on skill first. And the rumors didn’t mention this before.】
The discussion got heated, but the focus remained on Team BZ.
Soon, BZ applied for official accounts on Weibo and other platforms, releasing an announcement:
BZ Team: Welcome Zhang Taining and Tang Chen to BZ for trials! The BZ family welcomes you!
Netizens: …
Zhang Taining fans: …
Tang Chen fans: …
【????】
【Am I blind or stupid? Both joining at the same time?】
【Whoa? The new team is strict! With such rival personalities, can they cooperate in matches? If they can, I’ll laugh!】
【A bit disappointed. Is the new team not aiming for championships? Honestly, I’m skeptical.】
【Not sure, just trial news, no official signing yet.】
Netizens were stunned, but everyone remembered the new team’s name.
When Tang Chen finally returned home, exhausted after livestreaming the villa, he saw the news and was dumbfounded.
Wait… Zhang Taining is also trying out?
What’s going on?
Meanwhile, in a private café room:
“Convinced now?”
Zong Cheng put down his phone, ranking first in the game.
“…Yes, I admit, I’m no match for you. I’ll follow the agreement—delete the videos and apologize publicly.”
Zhang Taining looked pale, glanced at his phone, sighed, and shoved it into his pocket.
Zong Cheng was about to nod when a message popped up.
He glanced at it instinctively, then froze.
Zhang Taining muttered miserably.
“I can’t even beat a regular office worker, and I thought I could join a team and compete. I’m the biggest fool ever. Me, Zhang Taining, hold the keys? How many times!”
He red-eyed and scrolled through his phone, ready to tell the manager he wouldn’t attend the trial, when the man opposite laughed.
The next second, his words shocked Zhang Taining.
“You’ll attend the trial. No need to apologize publicly. But there’s another condition—I want you to cooperate well with Tang Chen and aim to win the championship within three years. Can you do it?”
You’re dreaming!
Cooperate with… that idiot Tang Chen?
Me? With him?
Zhang Taining had a mouthful of complaints, but seeing Zong Cheng’s serious gaze, he hesitated.
Then he comforted himself:
At least no public apology!
And…
Compared to quitting the trial, isn’t this just winning the championship?
He can do it!
At worst, devote all energy for the next three years!
Face over everything!
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Taining nodded resolutely.
“Fine! I agree!”
Zong Cheng saw his expression and nodded.
His gaze scanned the new BZ announcement, starting to plan.
Seeing Yin Chen’s attitude, perhaps achieving the team’s championship would make him happier than a public apology.
