"Thank you very much for helping me see the true colors of those around me," the woman said with a smile.
Until now, she had not actively mentioned her identity as a super star, wanting to see if Li Hong would recognize her.
However, after testing the waters, she felt a sense of defeat upon realizing that Li Hong truly did not recognize her at all.
Even after revealing her true self, Li Hong still failed to recognize her. It was possible that he had recognized her but was playing hard to get. But Lin Ruxian thought about it and dismissed that idea. She was usually very accurate in recognizing people, and she could tell what kind of person Li Hong was at a glance.
A straight man with low emotional intelligence and a touch of delusion would be unlikely to come up with such a strategy.
Moreover, this guy was not an ordinary person; there was no need for him to deceive her.
"I heard that you guys are planning to hold the S1 World Championship for Fist Game. Do you think it's still possible for me to form a team and participate?" Lin Ruxian asked tentatively.
This idea wasn't just a whim; she had considered it before.
The popularity of Goddess Alliance had naturally impacted the entertainment industry. Several streamers from Goddess Alliance were nearing the status of third-tier stars in the entertainment world. And this was just the beginning; as Goddess Alliance continued to develop, who knew what it might become? Therefore, Lin Ruxian was also thinking about making a move into the esports scene.
This didn't mean she wanted to fully immerse herself in esports but rather to extend her influence into this closed circle.
In this regard, forming a professional team for Goddess Alliance seemed like a good idea.
However, Li Hong didn't seem too optimistic about it. He shook his head and said, "If you're in it for the prize money, then I don't think you stand much chance. The professional scene of Goddess Alliance has already attracted a large number of powerful companies due to high prize incentives. Compared to these big corporations, you have no chance at all."
After finishing that point, Li Hong continued, "If you're not in it for the prize money but rather to make a name for yourself in the professional scene of Goddess Alliance, then it's better to abandon that thought early on. I'll give you one piece of advice; I believe you'll understand."
"What advice?"
"In esports, being inexperienced is the original sin!" Li Hong pronounced this well-known saying from the esports community slowly and deliberately.
"Esports, is being a noob the original sin?" After muttering this to herself, Lin Ruxian's face lit up with a hint of understanding.
Li Hong, as the chairman of Fist Game and the head of AE Alliance, the management body of the Goddess Alliance professional scene, certainly had his reasons for saying so.
Perhaps just like him, in the world of esports, if someone doesn't perform well, no matter how hard they try, others will never care.
In fact, this issue isn't limited to esports; it seems to exist in any competitive field. The champion is always the one who attracts the most attention, while no matter how hard others work, they cannot gain the champion's spotlight.
"So according to you, other lower-tier clubs must be struggling?" the woman asked curiously.
Li Hong nodded and said, "Naturally. This world has always been like this. The strong become stronger, and the weak become weaker. Those clubs with real strength may get the largest share of the pie in the Goddess Alliance professional scene. As for the weaker clubs, they can only struggle to survive in the cracks."
"Isn't that a bit extreme? It completely leaves no room for teams to breathe," she seemed dissatisfied with Li Hong's arrangement and frowned as she asked.
"Extreme?"
Li Hong scoffed, "What do you mean by extreme? Let's take football as an example. Why is the world's top league the Premier League, filled with powerhouse teams, rather than the Bundesliga known for its excellent youth training? I'm not here to be a savior for teams; I have to be responsible for the entire league. The fact is, more strong teams lead to greater entertainment value and increased influence for the league. Why would I oppose that?"
"Well then, it looks like life will be very tough for clubs. In that case, I won't wade into this murky water."
Lin Ruxian shook her head and said, "I was originally thinking of forming a professional team composed entirely of female players, but now it seems that plan might be dashed."
"A Women's Team?" Li Hong's eyes lit up; this was something he had overlooked.
The number of female players in the Goddess Alliance was now nearly on par with male players. With such a large total of female players, it could certainly support a Women's Team.
Even if this Women's Team didn't perform well, as long as it consisted entirely of female players, there would still be plenty of supporters.
Thinking of this, Li Hong unexpectedly glanced at Lin Ruxian. She didn't expect that this plain-looking woman had quite a sharp mind.
"What are you looking at me for?" Lin Ruxian asked curiously when she noticed Li Hong staring at her in silence.
"Nothing much, I was just thinking that the Women's Team might actually be feasible," Li Hong replied with a frown.
Lin Ruxian exclaimed in surprise, "Really? But you said the team's chances were almost nonexistent; how can it be possible now?"
"That's true, the team's chances are indeed slim. However, that definitely does not include a Women's Team," Li Hong nodded in agreement.
"A Women's Team on the current competitive scene would have significantly higher appeal, just based on that alone. Moreover, with a large support from Female Players, your fan base wouldn't be small either. With some proper management or by achieving impressive results, it could become a successful club."
Hearing this, Lin Ruxian felt a surge of excitement and asked curiously, "So you mean that Riot is supportive of the Women's Team?"
"Exactly. The emergence of a Women's Team would greatly benefit the promotion and growth of the League. How could we at Riot not support something like this?" Li Hong nodded affirmatively.
"Then can you help us secure a spot in the LPL? I heard that new clubs have to start from the very bottom to compete in the professional League," Lin Ruxian pleaded earnestly.
Li Hong was taken aback by her request, his brows instinctively furrowing.
As the head of Riot and President of AE Alliance, he had the power to intervene in such matters.
The question was whether this yet-to-be-established Women's Team truly warranted support. What if he forced them to cut in line and they ended up performing poorly in the fiercely competitive LPL League?
This was a matter concerning the entire professional scene, and Li Hong couldn't make a decision based solely on Lin Ruxian's few words.
Seeing Li Hong's hesitation, Lin Ruxian immediately understood what he was contemplating. She quickly pulled out a shiny business card from her bag and handed it to the indecisive Li Hong.
"Here, take a look for yourself."
Li Hong took the business card and glanced up.
"Lin Ruxian, singer, actress. Phone..."
The information was quite simple, yet it was astonishing.
The plain-looking woman before him was actually the hotshot Lin Ruxian in the Chinese entertainment industry?
Although Li Hong wasn't very familiar with the entertainment world, he at least had a connection with Sweet Potato Films. While he might not know all the famous figures personally, he had certainly heard their names.
He knew of Lin Ruxian. Over the past twenty years in China, she had become one of the most outstanding figures in music, achieving peak success in film, television, and music. She was the only artist from China to break into overseas markets; how could Li Hong possibly be unaware of her?
