Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 693: Return of Coach Ma

Pei Qian went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for a meal after he settled the matters with Dream Realization Ventures. He suddenly felt sleepy.

He, therefore, decided to take a nap at home.

In the end, he only woke up at three in the afternoon.

Pei Qian still felt confused when he got up.

He yawned and forced himself to get up.

No more, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sleep again tonight.

He took a can of Coca-Cola from the fridge and sipped. The caffeine had a very obvious refreshing effect on him.

“There have been too many things recently, and I’m a little overwhelmed. My energy is spent, and I’ve been very sleepy recently.

“Sleepy in spring and autumn, the three months of winter that I can’t wake up. Yes, it has now transited from autumn to winter.

“Oh, yeah, should I be exercising?

“Find time to train in Deposit Fitness?

“Being healthy and energetic will enable me to lose money better after all.

“In the case where my body can’t stand it anymore and I have no energy to keep up, the whole company can only follow the trend and make more money. Wouldn’t it be wasted?”

Pei Qian pondered. He might be still young and had a healthy diet and adequate sleep, but he still lacked exercise.

He would tire and become sleepy easily without exercise.

However, Pei Qian really did not think he could persevere at Deposit Fitness.

‘Boss Pei does not possess much perseverance.’ If something like this was discovered, wouldn’t his image collapse?

Of course, Pei Qian could use his busy schedule as an excuse, but he just did not feel it’s right...

Therefore, Pei Qian had this idea for now, but he didn’t have much motivation to put it into practice.

He took out his phone while leaning on the sofa and swiped his Weibo, especially focusing on Old Ma’s account.

“Hmm? It seems like Old Ma will be live-streaming today?

“Oh, it has started!”

Pei Qian hurriedly used his mobile phone to cast onto the big TV, following the live broadcast of Old Ma.

At the end of the money-throwing session yesterday, Old Ma’s Weibo had more than 80,000 fans. After a day of proliferation, it had now reached about 150,000.

During the period when Old Ma was resting, many people were reposting on Old Ma’s Weibo, and there are also some big Vs so the speed of fans increasing was not to be underestimated.

However, this number of fans was still within the acceptable range of Pei Qian.

Old Ma threw real money after all.

There were indeed some things in this world that money could not buy, but this definitely did not include heat and traffic.

Pei Qian was very annoyed by heat and traffic, mainly because this kind of thing sometimes brought him profit.

However, if the heat and traffic were on Old Ma, Pei Qian felt that it would not necessarily turn into profit.

Old Ma did not look like someone who had real fans after all.

In any case, let’s look at Old Ma’s live-stream debut.

...

Old Ma’s livestream appeared on the big screen.

He was playing GOG and had the camera turned on. Like many anchors, he had placed the camera in a position that did not block the game information.

Looking at the background, it should be in a certain Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and the environment was relatively noisy.

The most impressive thing was the long face of Old Ma.

He did not know if it was because of the position of the camera, or if Old Ma liked to get close to the screen so he was too close to the camera. The top of his head and chin was unable to appear in the camera picture at the same time.

Therefore, the few bullet screen comments were making fun of him.

“Boss Ma has the face of an empire!”

“Your face is too long—it’s out of the frame!”

“Can a hippo live-stream?”

“Horse-faced live streamer, I’m following you!”

There were also some not-so-friendly bullet screen comments.

“How did this f*cker dare to live-stream?”

“How awkward, how can you play 0-2-1 in a matched game? You pure scammer, I’m reporting you!”

“Get lost, haters. He is a boss and does not have the time to play games usually so his poor skills are understandable.”

“The problem is this f*cker does not have any awareness himself. It reminded me of the retarded teammates I met in Bronze Tier!”

“Boss Ma, do you want to continue going onto Weibo to throw money? This game really does not suit you!”

From time to time, there were a few barrage quarrels, but even that seemed to be delayed because the audience was too small.

Obviously, not all the audiences here were from Weibo. Some passers-by strayed into the live broadcast room. People on Weibo were still rather kind to Old Ma, but passers-by didn’t leave any mercy. They scolded him without leaving any face.

Pei Qian could not help but smile slightly.

As expected, it was happening exactly as I predicted!

I said it earlier, didn’t I? Old Ma’s techniques were so lousy that he would definitely lose fans like crazy. It would only have a negative effect.

However, it seemed like Old Ma’s attitude was pretty good. There might be no bullet screen comments in the livestream room—with only the occasional hater criticizing him for playing too poorly, but Old Ma did not take it to heart. He was playing happily.

At the end of the game, Old Ma stretched and said, “Sigh, my teammates are not great; please wait a moment. I will find some good teammates to play again.”

Ma Yang pinched the live-streaming signal directly.

Many question marks floated throughout the livestream.

Pei Qian’s mind immediately filled with question marks.

?

Find some good teammates?

It couldn’t be...

Pei Qian suddenly had a very bad feeling, but Ma Yang’s livestream resumed after only a few minutes. He did not have the time to think of countermeasures.

Ma Yang had reached the base of the DGE Club!

It turned out that Ma Yang had been broadcasting live at the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near Ming Yun Villas, which was only a few minutes away from the DGE club.

Zhang Yuan’s voice came from the livestream: “Everyone, get ready to cooperate with Coach Ma to play the mock competition!”

“It’s great that Huang Wang and Jiang Huan are back. Accompany Coach Ma to train these newcomers!”

Several familiar figures sat down in the opposite seats in Old Ma’s livestream. It was vaguely distinguishable from their silhouette that they were the old players of the DGE club such as Huang Wang and Jiang Huan.

More question marks appeared on Pei Qian’s head.

???

Weren’t Huang Wang and the rest sold to other clubs? Why were you back to DGE?

Pei Qian suddenly realized a problem.

When he invited new members of the DGE club to dinner, the old members said that special training should be launched for these new members so that they could keep up with the rhythm of the game as soon as possible!

This was not only because of the feelings off the old DGE players for their previous DGE club, but this was also what all other clubs were willing to do.

For all other clubs, the interests of the DGE club were in line with them because DGE players could not play against them in competitions if they became stronger. Instead, they could let other clubs directly buy people to strengthen themselves.

Obviously, the old members of the DGE club—including Huang Wang and Jiang Huan—must return to the club periodically to guide them!

They were just in time for Ma Yang’s livestream!

Ma Yang said while adjusting the machine: “Little Huang, Little Jiang, remember to turn on your livestream and help me gain more popularity.”

The teammates nodded immediately. “Don’t worry, Coach Ma, we’ll do it immediately!”

Ma Yang and the other four members started their live-streams in no time.

They might be on different teams and different live-streaming platforms, but they were the core team members. Many of them had huge fan bases. This broadcast attracted many viewers immediately!

Moreover, these people also changed the title of the live broadcast room to ‘DGE Club Gathers Again, Coach Ma instructs and Directs Internal Special Training’.

The popularity exploded in an instant!

Especially Huang Wang’s live broadcast room, large bullet screen comments floated by, blocking the screen.

“Is the internal boxing match going on?”

“Who is the Coach Ma who joined in?”

“F*ck, I actually can see my baby Huang and baby Jiang play together again; Mom is so touched that I’m crying!”

“It’s the Mom again!”

Pei Qian felt that things were not going in the right direction, seeing bullet screen comments.

Sh*t, he completely missed the DGE Club in his plan!

He thought that the old Ma silently opened a live broadcast to show his true level, and he would definitely be able to dissuade a large number of fans.

However, Old Ma did not even think about fighting alone. He came to cozy up to DGE Club after a while!

These big-time live streamers were diverting attention from him one by one; it had already exploded!

Pei Qian sipped his water and regained his calm.

“Be calm, even if there are four DGE players, they could not change the fact that Old Ma’s a burden.

“He’s so bad that would definitely become the burden of these four and would ignite the ire from the fans of the other four.

“Therefore, it might not be a bad thing...”

Pei Qian decided to continue observing. Things seemed to be still within the acceptable range.

The mock competition started very soon.

On one side were the old players of the DGE club with Coach Ma while there were four new players of the DGE club on the other side.

The other players and the audience in the livestreams were all closely watching the results of this game.

A lot of spectators who just entered didn’t know the situation well. They thought this ‘Coach Ma’ must be a very powerful and mysterious figure. His operation and technique might not reach the level of the old DGE club members, but he should at least have the level of a high-ranking passerby, right?

Only after the game started did they realize that this was an actual shortcoming!

Huang Wang and Jiang Huan—among the four veteran players—had been assisting frantically since the beginning of the game, but Ma Yang was still rubbed on the ground repeatedly by the new DGE players in the bottom lane.

The strength of the old players could completely crush the new players, but they were dragged to the same level after Old Ma joined!

“Who the hell is this burden? Why can he get Huang Wang and Jiang Huan to play together with him even though he’s so bad?!”

“Sh*t! I can do better.”

“Yes, you wouldn’t be this bad!”

“Don’t be stupid. Didn’t you hear that this is a special tactical coach? He is obviously balancing the strengths of both sides to give Huang Wang and the rest a chance to practice!”

“Baby Huang, baby Jiang, blink if you were kidnapped.”

“This is Boss Ma of Tengda, Boss Pei’s right-hand man and the man who earned 500 million yuan for Boss Pei. He’s just playing around with the players, isn’t it normal to play this poorly? No one really thinks that the boss of such a huge company would have as much time to play games as you group of internet addicts, right?”

“He paid for it?”

“I say, money really makes the world go round! I’m sore; I’ll be able to get the entire DGE Club to play with me if I had the money!”

“But it’s really unfair to Baby Huang and Baby Jiang! It reminds me of my trashy teammates!”

The battle on both sides was brilliant, and the audience was busy with the bullet screen comments.

Obviously, the audience was divided into two groups. Many people felt that Old Ma’s skills were too lousy, but many people’s perception of Old Ma had changed.

If Old Ma was just an ordinary burden, he must be drowned by the audience’s saliva.

However, Old Ma was a high-level executive of Tengda, the man who invested in IOI, the right-hand man of Boss Pei who earned 500 million yuan...

It seemed absolutely understandable for him to play so poorly.

Pei Qian looked at the bullet screen comments, feeling as though he was watching an absurd drama regarding magic realism.

Old Ma had fans even though he played so poorly?

All of you are simply too ridiculous!
