The first and second teams are mixed, without strictly following the first and second team divisions. Li Yang leads them in practice matches, setting the length of daily training sessions.

Li Yang, with a bit of talent, played for over ten thousand hours and already has that kind of shooting skill.

In fact, as long as they are willing, everyone in this group can be better than him in shooting, getting stronger year by year. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

When it comes to playing LOL, he has more advanced concepts, but in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, his shooting skills are ahead.

Currently, mainstream players use rifles paired with bolt-action snipers, while he prefers rifles paired with semi-auto snipers.

Semi-auto snipers have more firepower, it’s just that everyone likes the feeling of getting a headshot with a bolt-action, even professional players.

Of course, he also has many sneaky tactics, but there’s no rush to train those now.

This year is the first year the global PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds event is being held, so there’s no spring or summer tournaments, only a pre-selection for the global invitational tournament.

The global invitational is on par with the global finals.

Outside the domestic scene, there are plenty of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds teams, with various events mostly happening simultaneously.

Though this global invitational is rushed, the standards weren’t lowered.

...

Once training intensity picked up, it was those few boosters who managed to hang on.

After all, they’re used to playing high-intensity games in their everyday boosting activities.

However, those boosters have very limited room for improvement.

Enduring but lacking talent.

Anyway, according to Li Yang’s requirements, only by completing the basic training tasks can they have a chance to go on stage. Performing poorly signifies an attitude problem, and there’s no hope for renewal next year.

Gradually, half a month passed.

Overall, the performance was quite good, especially since Li Yang, the big boss, led the training himself.

By the end of August, Aurora Studio released the prize pool for the global invitational tournament.

A total of ten million US Dollars, with the champion winning four million US Dollars, the second place only ninety-eight hundred thousand, and the twenty-fourth only a hundred thousand.

This prize is quite generous, ranking among the top echelons in global esports events.

For example, the LOL world championship prize is usually only around two million US Dollars.

Event operation costs are not included, given that global employee expenses are nearly forty million US Dollars each year.

There’s only one sponsor, Kuai Pai, currently paying one hundred million a year.

This price might not be available in the future, as the event will be more refined next year.

The average number of viewers for LOL global events is fifty million, and a main sponsorship slot for one world tournament is around a hundred million.

Meanwhile, Li Yang alone can bring ten million viewers to the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds event.

Currently, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds globally only has eighty million users, but they’ve been online for just over a year. As long as the game doesn’t have major issues, an annual increase of thirty or forty million is normal.

By the end of August, Li Yang finished high-intensity training, ready to take a week off to visit Jiang Banxia in Capital City.

As he was leaving, it was Chen Peipei who saw him off.

On the way, Chen Peipei said, "Bitcoin has risen to three thousand four hundred US Dollars, did you know?"

In early July, Bitcoin was just around thirteen hundred US Dollars.

In just two months, it nearly doubled.

With such a volatile market, one can only imagine how explosive the Bitcoin futures could be.

The main thing is, this time the Bitcoin trading volume didn’t shrink, it increased simultaneously.

It soared from tens of millions of US Dollars a day to four or five hundred million US Dollars daily.

"The platform can’t handle it?"

"Yeah, short positions are inverted by three points, still in short supply."

"Then the platform must be making a lot?"

"This month, it made forty-five million US Dollars, including sixteen million in contract fees and twenty-nine million in short position inverted profits."

Li Yang: "..."

Damn!

He knew running a platform could be profitable, but he didn’t expect to make this much so soon.

In his impression, at this stage, Binance also just made a little over ten million US Dollars a month and was already going crazy in the market.

Chen Peipei continued, "Our office in the mainland got investigated, and the platform received a warning to stop providing services to domestic users."

"Then just stop, but first settle the contracts and let them withdraw all account funds."

"Yeah. Li Yang..."

"Hmm?"

"Forget it, let’s talk about it later."

Chen Peipei was really panicked. She had never done anything illegal in her life.

Now, the more the trading platform earns, the more uneasy she feels.

Li Yang said, "Don’t feel pressured. After all, Li Xiao has always been the face. Even if they dig deeper and find out about you, as long as you don’t leave the country, no one can do anything to you."

Once abroad, it’s a different story. The country where Chen Peipei is located has an extradition treaty with the United States, and can directly send her to the United States.

China does not.

However, China generally won’t shield this kind of person and may launch its own investigation.

By then, it will definitely be a battle of connections.

That’s hundreds of billions, maybe even trillions of US Dollars in profit, Li Yang would have to make an effort no matter what.

"Oh, if something really happens to me, leave my stuff to your son, after all, I did raise him."

"You only looked after him for a short time, okay? How can you shamelessly claim the credit?"

"Anyway, I raised him!"

Chen Peipei was quite tormented by that brat, likely used to Bai Qing, any pacifier was of no use, and couldn’t attract him at all.

So, she had to step in personally.

After all, most of Bai Qing’s genes came from her side, so she definitely couldn’t be inferior.
