Chapter 2: Me, a professional gamer, and what the hell is this "gang leader"? [Requesting
You've been reborn!
As a child, you and your family arrived in a strange land. The people there were unfriendly, and the local gangs were very rude.
With your keen eye, you successfully rescued a local boy with exceptional potential and helped him out of his immediate predicament. You two hit it off immediately.
Later, through his introduction, you successfully joined the local gang.
With your youthful arrogance and ruthless methods, you quickly established yourself in the gang, repelled external enemies, helped the organization gain international fame, and even ascended to the throne of the largest gang in the area.
That year, you were only seventeen years old.
……
[Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Your actions have attracted the covetous eyes of other local groups.]
The members of the gang all trusted you, even though the gang's number one spot was taken by another gang the following year.
At nineteen, after much painful reflection, and with your relentless efforts, your good brothers rallied and helped the club reclaim its number one position!
At twenty, your reputation in the gang reached its peak; no one dared to challenge you anymore. People in the underworld gave you a nickname—Brother Dou Huan!
You were already a powerful figure in the area, but you grew tired of the fighting and killing in the martial arts world, so you chose to retire and return to your hometown to enjoy your old age.
Looking back on a life of military service, you realize you're only twenty-one.
At twenty-two, you already enjoy a formidable reputation in the underworld. A gang from your hometown finds you, offering you a portion of their annual funds as a bribe in exchange for your protection. All you need to do is step in when necessary.
At twenty-three, you haven't been the eldest brother for many years.
After you left, your former brother-in-arms was too merciful; he was unable to deter the ruthless methods of other gang members.
Your good brother is caught in internal strife, and other gangs are also showing signs of ambition. The entire gang is beset by internal and external troubles!
Meanwhile, the old community that grew rapidly under your protection is starting to harden its wings and seems less inclined to continue supporting you.
You've decided to make a comeback and show everyone what a true triumphant return looks like!
……
Lee Doo-hwan: "???"
He looked at the resume the system had provided and fell silent.
Those who have access to the system should know that the system's capabilities are tailored to your current situation.
I can understand if you don't give the ability to [freeze time] in the short film, allowing them to do whatever they want.
I wouldn't even be unable to accept a [red temperature system] if you gave me one.
but……
What's going on with this gang leader making a comeback?
What era are we living in? Anyone with a brain would still play this game.
After re-examining the resume provided by the system, Lee Doo-hwan now seriously suspects that the wholesaler must have mixed up his own alliance system with that of some unlucky guy who transmigrated to a Hong Kong novel when shipping the goods.
……
"well……"
With a slight sigh, Lee Doo-hwan put his mind at ease, reached out and pushed open the door to the IG dressing room, and slowly walked in.
Last year's S-series champion was LPL's first S-series champion, but the following year they only achieved a semi-final result.
Reaching the semi-finals is already considered the second-best result in LPL history.
For a team that stood at the top of the world last year, this is not an acceptable result.
The loss in the game made the atmosphere in the locker room not very good.
A faint sense of oppression hung in the air...
……
Seeing Lee Doo-hwan walk in, Su Xiaoluo, the team manager, frowned.
He witnessed the entire game firsthand from the audience.
According to Ning, who was not playing, if the others had retreated immediately when TheShy's Kayle was instantly killed, there would have been a chance to avoid FPX ending the game in one fell swoop.
Although doing so would inevitably result in losing the dragon, and there's no guarantee of winning in the end.
But that situation was still much better than being ended in one fell swoop by the opponent; at least the flame of hope was still preserved.
Facing Su Xiaoluo's piercing gaze, Li Douhuan ignored her, walked to the side, grabbed a bottle of water, and sat down.
Seeing that Lee Doo-hwan had caused such a huge disaster, he didn't say anything and acted as if nothing had happened.
Su Xiaoluo finally couldn't hold back any longer. He shifted his body slightly and looked at Li Douhuan.
Do you consider yourself a professional gamer?
Upon hearing this, Lee Doo-hwan, who had just finished drinking water, turned his gaze to Su Xiaoluo.
"Are you talking to me?"
"The others haven't come back yet, what do you think?"
Seeing the other person's expression, Lee Doo-hwan knew that he was probably looking for a scapegoat.
Don't be fooled by the online clamor for permanent immunity from criticism when IG won the championship last year. In reality, the immunity only lasts until you lose your next game.
"I think I am," Lee Doo-hwan answered very seriously.
"Since you're a professional player, why did you still go in when TheShy's Kayle was instantly killed in the last team fight?"
"Since you're a professional player, don't you know what to do?"
Su Xiaoluo questioned him angrily.
"Do you even realize you caused us to lose the game!"
Lee Doo-hwan glanced at the annoyed Su Xiaoluo.
He only played in one game, which was the one we just played.
Because Qiyana is an extremely overpowered jungler in the World Championship, Ning simply couldn't bring himself to play her.
This severely limited IG's draft picks, leading them to choose to field Lee Doo-hwan.
"That's because the top lane is too weak. I've helped the angel so many times, but she still got solo killed by the captain and was stunned by Varus's ultimate, so she couldn't even use her ultimate."
In the bot lane, Kai'Sa even has Flash and can't dodge Nautilus's hook.
The support player is even worse, always hiding behind his teammates. I'm starting to wonder if this is even a game!
Li Douhuan didn't hold back when faced with Su Xiaoluo's questioning.
These words made Su Xiaoluo furious.
It's worth noting that after IG won the championship last year, thanks to the club's marketing, TheShy was portrayed as the world's best top laner ever, and JackeyLove was the chosen one who was at his peak from the very beginning!
You're a champion who barely played any games and you're already complaining?
Last year, Su Xiaoluo had to be careful and polite when meeting Lee Doo-hwan, but after IG won the championship, he changed his attitude completely. At this moment, he showed his true colors by treating people differently based on their status.
"Lee Doo-hwan, don't forget you're just a substitute!"
The meaning of Su Xiaoluo's threat was self-evident.
In his eyes, Lee Doo-hwan, this once-prosperous champion, must not want to leave IG, as he can comfortably earn such a high salary.
As the current manager of IG Club, I can naturally easily control the other party!
……
The groups that grew rapidly under your protection are now starting to harden their wings and seem less inclined to continue serving you.
Since ancient times, beauties have lamented their fading youth, while heroes are not allowed to see their hair turn white!
When you are looked down upon by those who were once considered insignificant ants, do you recall your glorious past?
Once you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny; wanting to retire from the criminal world is easier said than done.
Please, host, make a triumphant return and restore your former glory!
New player gift packs are being given out now!
[Reward: A physique five years younger!]
[Congratulations, host! Your strength, reaction time, courage, and combat comprehension have all significantly improved.]
……
Upon hearing the system's notification, Lee Doo-hwan was slightly taken aback.
This is actually allowed?
However, at that moment, he truly felt that his physical condition had improved.
Despite a slight glitch in the system, it wanted to regain its position as the top dog in the underworld.
But looking at it now, being five years younger for nothing doesn't seem like such a bad deal!
……
Lee Doo-hwan glanced at Su Xiaoluo, whose words clearly carried a threat, and smiled slightly.
"Even the principal has to treat me with utmost respect. Who do you think you are?"
After packing his things, he slung his bag over his shoulder and turned to walk out of the lounge.
"Where are you going? Don't forget..."
Su Xiaoluo wanted to say something more, but she was interrupted by Li Douhuan halfway through her sentence.
"Take care of the contract with my lawyer!!!"
