I Can Do It

Chapter 23

After half a week, the contract finally arrived.

It was a short-term contract, lasting for only one season.

Jian Rong looked it over. The percentage allotment and base salary for streaming had been raised quite a bit, and he could tell that Ding-ge had already done his best to fight for him.

"Thank you."

It took Ding-ge a moment to realize what he was thanking him for. He smiled. "No thanks needed, these were the terms negotiated based on your own worth."

Jian Rong looked through the contract very cursorily. When he was flipping through the rules related to professional players, Ding-ge couldn't help but remind him, "Pay closer attention to this page."

As a result, Jian Rong stopped turning the pages and instantly pinpointed the content that Ding-ge wanted him to read.

Each regulation was written in an extremely lengthy and complicated manner. A rough summary was approximately—professional players were forbidden from idling, throwing the game, and insulting other players, both during competitions and otherwise, or else they would be fined by the LPL. A serious violation could even result in suspension.

Jian Rong was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Can't AFK even during a normal ranked game?"

Ding-ge: "No."

Jian Rong wasn't willing to give up. "If there's a deviation in my gameplay and I die too many times, that's also out of the question?"

Ding-ge propped a hand against his forehead. "...don't think that the LPL people are idiots."

"Then what counts as insulting someone?" Jian Rong asked. "Does dumbass count?"

Ding-ge: "..."

Jian Rong settled for the next best option. "Moron? Idiot? Noob should at least be allowed, right."

"Who knows." Ding-ge was expressionless. "How about you test each of them out? It's only ten to twenty thousand yuan1 per fine anyway."

Jian Rong didn't have anything else to say to that, and he signed his name on the contract.

"That's all. When you have time, I'll find some people to help you move the rest of your stuff into the base." Ding-ge closed the folder. "The rest can wait until after management sets up the official announcement. In a few days, you'll have to go take an official photograph. Your team uniform is already being made, it'll probably get here tomorrow. And Weibo... generally we don't interfere with players posting about their daily lives on Weibo, but you should still restrain yourself a little. With those fans, don't always..."

"I got it." Jian Rong said, "Relax, I won't pay any fines because of them."

With that, Ding-ge finally stopped badgering him about it.

He briefed him on a few more things before he opened the door to the meeting room. TTC's other members were all sitting on a sofa in the living room.

Seeing them come out, Lu Boyuan looked up. "Done signing?"

Ding-ge said, "En."

"So we'll be teammates from now on?" Xiao Bai slouched, one leg hiked over the other, and asked, "Then, per tradition tonight?"

Ding-ge glanced at the time and said, "Sure, I'll go make a reservation. A little later should be fine, right? I feel more at ease if there's less customers."

Jian Rong asked, "What tradition?"

"What else?" Xiao Bai said, "Of course, it's to go celebrate! Training is about to begin anyway, so we should first go and eat a good meal beforehand!"
