Chapter 520: Massive Contract Deal (2/2)

……

I went online after eating lunch.

Swhoosh!

The moment I appeared in Sky City, I received a message—

Ding~!

System Notice: The logo of ”Lenovo” will appear beneath your ID because you have signed a contract with Lenovo Group Limited. You may choose to remove it!

When I checked, I saw a new row beneath my ID as expected—

Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand LV-130 Purgatory Thunder

Guild: Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls

Guild Position: Vice Leader

Team: Lenovo Group Limited

……

An eye-catching logo appeared beneath my ID, and to be honest, it actually looked pretty good. One of the terms of the contract stated the logo musn’t be removed, so I was just going to leave it be. At the very least, it served as proof that I was signed under a team, and at the current stage, anyone who got signed by an organization was considered a great player.

Beep!

Lin Yixin sent me a message. ”So, Lu Chen, you’ve sold yourself to Lenovo…”

”What do you mean I sold myself?” I was a bit displeased with her phrasing.

”Time to fess’ up. How much did you get signed for? Is it as good as Candlelight Shadow’s?”

”Mn, my yearly salary is worth 24 million!” I smiled proudly before saying, ”By the way Yiyi, since I’m a multimillionaire now, you should prepare your dowry right away…”

”Huh? Why should I?” She sounded confused.

”Because you’re going to get married with a certain young multimillionaire who’s below 30 years old, of course! I am worthy of you now, aren’t I”

”WTF!” I could see her face turning as red as an apple on the screen. She waved a fist at me and said, ”You really think you’re worthy to ask for my hand in marriage with that level of money? Hmph, just you wait, I’m going to sign an even better contract than yours and show you your place real soon…”

”Yiyi, you’re not going to find anyone if you stay this bossy…”

”Why do you think I keep you around, fall back guy?”

”Fuck!”

Since Lin Yixin had shot me down without mercy, I went to organize the items at Air Force One before summoning the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf. After teleporting to Dark Moon City and upgrading the buildings, I got ready to grind some levels. I was in no hurry to up my rank in the competitive arena because I, as Lin Yixin said, have already sold myself to a corporation. The entire point of grinding ranks in the arena was to get signed, and since I had already achieved my goal I decided that grinding would be a better use of my time.

Some time later, the guild channel suddenly burst into activity. It looked like something was happening—

Li Chengeng: ”Guys, guys, I got some good news to share!”

Chaos Moon: ”What is it?”

Gui Guzi: ”Tell us already, Li!”

Li Chengfeng let out a laugh. ”Just this morning, the Director of Operations of ASUS came to me to discuss club signings. More specifically, they wanted to sign the best players in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Because Lu Chen, Beiming Xue and the guild leader had already been taken, they decided to sign me as the team leader and several others as the team members. If you all agree, they’ll fly someone to Suzhou this afternoon and meet us at the entrance to the decor club to complete the contract.”

Gui Guzi asked curiously, ”Oh, I see. Who did they choose?”

Li Chengfeng replied, ”There are five people in total, namely me, you, High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, and finally Chaos Moon. They offered me a yearly salary of 11 million, 7 million for Little Gui, and 5 million for everyone else. So, do you want to accept this offer or not?”

”What, 5 million yearly salary?” Chaos Moon sounded pleasantly surprised. ”Does that mean I’m going to be rich?”

Gui Guzi nodded. ”Yeah, you don’t need to worry about overspending on Mayflower products now…”

Chaos Moon: ”...”

After High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun agreed to join ASUS as well, Li Chengfeng confirmed the deal immediately. ASUS would be setting up a club at Suzhou, and the five of them could move out of the base once it was complete. Of course, it was their decision whether to move to the new location or not.

All in all, this meant that our core players now had a stable income and a future. This was good for both them and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls because their lives were no longer floating in uncertainty. Competing in the VR e-sports scene was now considered a profession, and if we did well enough, it was only a matter of time we won the recognition of the entire world.
