Chapter 772: Pick Any Player You Like!
At DGE Club…
Zhang Yuan had a confused expression when he looked at Wu Yue and Manager Lu, who had come to visit him.
What was going on?
He had just returned to Jingzhou with Boss Pei. Wu Yue and Manager Lu arrived before he could even rest his legs.
They were only two hours apart.
Did he have any objections to the cooperation? What could there be that he could not communicate over the phone?
Zhang Yuan was a little confused. However, he had to entertain them since they were already here.
Someone served them tea After leading Wu Yue and Manager Lu to the conference room.
Zhang Yuan was not only the manager of DGE E-Sports Club, but he was also the person-in-charge of Tengda E-Sports. His focus was gradually shifted to the GPL league, and he did not have much time to manage DGE Club’s daily training.
Thus, DGE Club recruited more and more staff. Coach, analyst, team leader, nutritionist, team doctor, brand visual design, photography, creative design, etc.
Now, Zhang Yuan was gradually delegating his work and made only important decisions. He would only briefly ask about the situation of certain things at times.
It was the first time that Wu Yue and Manager Lu had come to DGE Club. One look and they were overwhelmed, it was so much more official than FV club!
They were incomparable no matter whether it was the training environment, the staff allocation, or the spiritual appearance of the entire base.
Wu Yue sipped his tea and said emotionally, “Boss Zhang, I’ve long heard that DGE Club is the most official club in the country and that no other club can compare to it. It really lives up to its reputation after seeing it today.”
“Boss Pei is so forward-thinking about the future of the E-Sports industry. He has brought forward the official process of the domestic E-Sports Club.”
Zhang Yuan smiled. “It’s more like a form of confidence rather than forward-thinking.”
“Actually, most of the clubs know that in order to produce results, the standardization of the management of the clubs is indispensable. Many clubs also want to look like traditional football clubs.”
“However, most of the clubs do not do it very well. At the end of the day, it is because they did not have confidence. That is because the formalization of the clubs meant that they had to invest more money. If they did not have confidence in making profits, they would not be willing to invest. Naturally, the formalization could not be discussed.”

“Boss Pei is actually very optimistic about the future of the E-Sports industry. He is very confident. Naturally, he can spend a lot of money on the club without any worries.”
Wu Yue agreed. “That makes sense!”
“Boss Zhang is also very experienced in the operations of the club. DGE Club is one of the few clubs in the country that can generate profits. It can earn both fame and profit without competing. It’s really admirable.”
“I hope that Boss Zhang can impart some experience in the operations of a club if there’s a chance next time.”
Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head. “Not at all. Boss Pei was the one who set up the big framework for the club’s operations. I didn’t actually contribute much. I was only in charge of ordering take-out.”
After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhang Yuan said, “Is there a problem with the collaboration which made you come all the way to Jingzhou?”
Wuyue shook his head. “No, no, no, of course there’s no problem with the collaboration.”
“It’s like this, Manager Lu and I discussed how to spend this investment and we would like to buy a few players…”
Wu Yue briefly explained his intentions.
Zhang Yuan nodded after he understood.
It was no wonder that Wu Yue and Manager Lu had come to Jingzhou. Obviously, they had not thought of using this sum of money to buy players previously, and had only thought of it after Boss Pei left.
What’s more, if they wanted to buy players, they had to make a trip to Jingzhou to talk to the bosses of these clubs.
After some consideration, Zhang Yuan said, “How about this? I’ll introduce you to the other clubs. You can talk to them. As for whether they are willing to sell it or not, that will depend on how well you negotiate.”
Tengda was the organizer of GPL. These clubs listened to everything Boss Pei and Tengda said. However, Zhang Yuan did not want to force these clubs to sell people. That would be an abuse of Boss Pei’s influence and would be very inappropriate.
The key still depended on the club’s wishes.
Wu Yue nodded. “Of course!”
Zhang Yuan stood up and brought Wu Yue and Manager Lu to the SHG Club to look for Lin Chang.

They had to start with Lin Chang since he was the one who had started buying IOI players and snatched two or three good saplings from the IOI team.
If Lin Chang was not willing to sell, Zhang Yuan would consider looking for other clubs.
Wu Yue and Manager Lu walked around Ming Yun Villas, looking at the beautiful single villas and the E-Sports Club, their eyes filled with envy.
“Jingzhou has really been turned into a sacred ground for e-sports by Boss Pei. It’s simply prospering day by day. I’m so envious.”
“There are more than ten regular clubs like the DGE Club. How could the GPL league not be good? It looks like IOI really lost.”
“Sigh, it’s a pity that our company is in Shanghai. We can’t move it.”
They arrived at SHG Club in no time.
Zhang Yuan brought Wu Yue and Manager Lu to look for Lin Chang and explained their intentions.
Lin Chang was stunned. “Boss Pei invested in your club? You want to buy IOI players?”
Wu Yue nodded. “That’s right, Boss Lin. Actually, we want to form a stronger team so that we can better compete in the qualifiers. Boss Pei would be able to feel proud when we get a good ranking.”
“Of course, we will definitely pay according to the market transfer price. It would be good enough if you could just sell us one or two players who can play IOI who are not good enough to go on stage.”
Wu Yue knew that Lin Chang was the big boss of Shenhua Corporation and that he had a favor to ask of him. Naturally, he spoke very politely.
Lin Chang smiled. “Hey, don’t stand on the ceremony!”
“We must fully support it since it’s a club that Boss Pei invested in!”
“To be honest, I bought these players to try my luck. I thought that I could dig out and develop them if there were any good seedlings among them.”
“Since it’s a club that Boss Pei invested in, of course there is no problem. Choose whichever player you like!”
“Oh, there are a few other teams as well. I’ll let them bring out their IOI’s players for you to choose from them as well!”
“Of course, we have to respect the players’ personal wishes.”
Wu Yue was a little embarrassed as he quickly said, “No, no, no, I’m just missing two members. There’s no need to mobilize so many people…”
Lin Chang waved his hand. “Don’t be so polite! This is just a small matter to us.”
“I don’t know why Boss Pei invested in your club, but since he invested in it, he must have a special purpose. Anyway, let’s aim for the qualifiers first. The team that Boss Pei invested in must not embarrass Boss Pei!”
Wu Yue was moved.
He knew very well that Boss Lin acted this way mainly because of Boss Pei and had nothing to do with FV Club but it was still very heartwarming.
Lin Chang quickly made a few calls.
Half an hour later, the club leaders arrived with a list in their hands.
Lin Chang summarized all the names and handed them to Wu Yue. “Boss Wu, this is the list of all former IOI professional players. Take a look and choose the strongest players.”
Wu Yue reached out to take it and took a closer look at it with Manager Lu. Both of them looked shocked.
Th-this lineup was too magnificent!
FV Club knew the famous IOI players’ IDs by heart since they focused only on IOI.
There were celebrity players from veteran IOI clubs like SUG on the list. It might not be an entire team, but there were players from every position. They could completely piece a top team together in each position.
Wu Yue looked at Lin Chang and the other club leaders. “I’m afraid we can’t afford these players with their value…”
Lin Chang smiled. “You’re treating me like an outsider. You can choose whoever you like! We didn’t spend much money on these players anyway. Just treat it as a gift to the club that Boss Pei invested in!”

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
