Chapter 500: A New Height!
After returning from Changsha, Lin Mu gave the club a half-month long vacation.
Approaching the end of the year, no matter who it is, no matter what industry it is, it is time to go home for a reunion and celebrate the Spring Festival.
During this period, Lin Mu also returned to his hometown.
With the title of World Champion, despite being extremely low-key, it is still difficult to resist the enthusiasm of family and friends.
Throughout the Spring Festival, Lin Mu's small family was crowded, not only relatives and friends, but also some hometown media and officials came to the door, and even his alma mater sent people to congratulate him.
When their son came out, Lin Mu's parents naturally smiled from ear to ear and were relieved.
And Lin Mu was also distressed when he looked at his parents who were gradually growing Huafa, he didn't have time to be filial in his previous life, so he naturally couldn't have any regrets in this life.
During the holiday, in addition to spending as much time as possible with the second elder at home, Lin Mu also took the time to buy a property in a real estate not far from his home, so that the second elder could live for the rest of his life.
Although it cost more than half of the family property to invest in Douyu, Lin Mu can still afford a house of one or two million.
I stayed in my hometown for about 10 days, from greeting relatives, friends and teachers, to reuniting with middle school classmates, to socializing, the schedule was almost fuller than usual.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Mu boarded the plane in Shanghai.
The holiday given to the team members is until the thirteenth, but as the boss, it is natural to come earlier than the employees.
And Lin Mu came back early this time for a very important thing, that is, the upcoming LSPL First Division.
In fact, as early as last year, Lin Mu had already registered his second team in the ACE League, tentatively named RD.
It's just that the team is registered, but the team members are not enough.
Although the first team currently has several substitutes, it is impossible to stuff all of them into the second team, at least until there is fresh blood to make up.
It was too busy at the end of last year, and now that he has time, Lin Mu is ready to start stretching his fists and kicks with great fanfare.
First of all, in the name of the club, we recruited personnel for trial, and with RT's current fame and prestige, there is absolutely no need to worry about finding no one.
However, if this is the case, Lin Mu is obviously not satisfied.
For this reason, he specially flew to Europe, and the former team leader Qiuqiu Mao had an interview.
The two finally reached an intention to cooperate.
RT came forward to set up a youth academy, and Qiuqiu Mao served as a management and psychological counselor.
Of course, the day-to-day management of the academy can be handed over to her, and the actual ownership still belongs to RT.
Under the agreement, RT will provide the Academy's players with room and board and base salaries, while the players will be required to sign a discretionary contract for at least three years.
Although Lin Mu does not have the heart of the "human trafficker" of the Shanghai Emperor, he will not trade at a loss.
You must know that the deed of sale of the E Academy is at least five years old.
In comparison, he is kind.
On the occasion of leaving, Lin Mu left Qiuqiu Cats with a list of recommended academy recruitment: Meiko, orld6, 957, Candy, Ning, Ming, Five, Long, orld6......
Without exception, most of them are potential players who will appear on the LPL stage in the future.
It is worth mentioning that after saying goodbye to Qiuqiu Cat, Lin Mu went to Paris again.
Since you've been here, how can you not visit your girlfriend?
When Qin Yitian returned to China, he only had a week's vacation, and he had to fly back immediately after the Chinese New Year's Eve.
That night, the two enjoyed a French meal at a famous restaurant in Paris.
Red wine, candlelight, beauty, queen bed......
It's night, indescribable.
When I returned to Shanghai, it was already the Lantern Festival.
After getting off the plane, Lin Mu was refreshed at the same time, but he also inevitably had a little backache and leg pain, and his steps were vain.
These days, it's crazy.
"Lin team, according to your request, I found a villa for rent next door to our club, the environment is slightly worse than our current house, but the advantage is in the area, and there are many rooms, which can be used as a base for the second team, as for the training ground of the academy, I haven't found a suitable one for a while, but if there are players, you can temporarily arrange it to the second team."
After getting in the car, Xia Zeguang began to report.
"Well, in terms of life and training, according to the specifications of the first team, this money does not need to be given to me." Lin Mu waved his hand, and he didn't know how much silver he had spent.
Although he spent a lot of money some time ago, the money he brought back from the United States, plus various competition bonuses, he still has nearly 10 million funds at his disposal.
This money is enough to last until the second half of the year.
What's more, with his current popularity, as long as he beckons casually, I don't know how many advertisers will rush to send money to the door.
"One more thing, after the broadcast of Team Lin's "Happy Camp", the ratings and word-of-mouth are very good, and even our official blog has grown hundreds of thousands of fans." Xia Zeguang looked happy, and the spring breeze was proud.
"Lao Xia, you haven't drunk less in the past few days when you go home for the New Year, and your body is a lot rounder." Lin Mu quipped.
"Haha, it's all the light ...... of the club"
The two talked and laughed, chatting about the fun of celebrating the Spring Festival in their hometown.
In fact, compared with the ratings in Xia Zeguang's mouth and the increase in followers on Weibo, Lin Mu attaches the most importance to a set of data recently released by Riot.
According to the official news released by Riot, in January 2014, the number of daily active players in League of Legends worldwide has reached nearly 30 million, and the number of monthly active players has exceeded 70 million, and even the highest number of simultaneous online players, which is the most important value to measure the popularity of an online game, has also reached 7.8 million!
Up to 7.8 million people online at the same time.
No matter what era it is placed in, this is an unprecedented feat in the history of online games.
According to Tencent boss Ma Yanteng's remarks when he participated in the two hui, before League of Legends, there had never been a game with more than 5 million simultaneous online users, and even three or four million were very few, only a handful.
As soon as League of Legends came up, it directly reached nearly 8 million, almost twice as much as the second in history!
And this also has a credit to Lin Mu.
You must know that in the previous life, the simultaneous online volume announced by Riot at this time was only 7.5 million, although this number is already a small picture, but the gap of 300,000 is still not small.
In China, an online game with 300,000 simultaneous online games is already a success and worth hype!
Undoubtedly, this gap is the butterfly effect brought about by Lin Mu, the reborn.
RT's victory in S3 has made League of Legends' popularity in the domestic market even more advanced, reaching an unprecedented level!
In the previous life, although SKT's championship also caused a lot of sensation, South Korea is a big place after all, and the Korean game industry is highly developed, and the market was almost saturated before SKT won the championship.
RT is different.
As a team that came out of a population of 1.4 billion, the market behind Lin Mu and others is unimaginable to everyone.
It can be said that with the help of RT, League of Legends has reached a new height.
To put it mildly, it's unlikely that any game will reach this level of popularity in the future, and even if it does, it will never be available on PC.
Even, even League of Legends itself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to surpass this peak.
In the previous life, 7.5 million was already recognized by the industry as the highest online volume in history!
In this life, it was just 7.8 million.
League of Legends of this period was ruled by RT.
