Chen Yiyang went viral on the internet again.

This time it happened mysteriously, even surprising himself.

After the Extreme Path Team won this year's championship, it immediately caused a sensation in the gaming circle. Then, with some mainstream media reports, their fame spread to the general public.

This led to the Extreme Path Team's popularity skyrocketing online.

But Chen Yiyang's sudden popularity was an accident.

That day, while watching the match and eating a hot dog, he was unexpectedly photographed by someone.

After the game, Zeng Hai shared a group photo of everyone.

Chen Yiyang's identity as the owner of Extreme Path Team was also revealed to the public. So someone posted a photo of Chen Yiyang eating a hot dog online, and suddenly he became a trending topic.

Then people started digging into Chen Yiyang's identity.

As a result, a bunch of internet users got Chen Yiyang's identity mixed up.

Originally, the owner of Extreme Path Team was known to be a wealthy second-generation kid; this was an established fact within the circle.

When netizens investigated Chen Yiyang's identity, they accidentally applied this persona to him.

Besides, Chen Yiyang had only appeared in the public eye twice before.

Once was when donating China Merchants Steam Navigation Company stocks.

Once during the 'Old Western' livestream.

So now, Chen Yiyang's identity online is that of an uneducated but kind-hearted wealthy second-generation.

He donated his father's cherished stocks, got kicked out of home, and started his own business.

He set up a viral influencer studio, bought an esports club, and invested in a sales-driven company. All these ventures somehow succeeded.

He's seen as the silly young master of a landlord family, with luck favoring the foolish.

Some even confidently claim that Chen Yiyang's father is a big shot in the film industry. Otherwise, how could he invite a director of Gong Fan's caliber to his livestream?

Of course, whether Chen Yiyang's real identity is a wealthy second-generation or not isn't important; what matters is that only such a persona matches the grand achievement of Extreme Path Team's championship.

A top laner nobody wanted.

A mid laner given as a bonus.

A jungler converted from an AD.

An AD who became a small-time streamer.

A support player from local tournaments.

A wealthy and unruly second-generation.

This quirky team combination won the S-Class international championship.

This adds a full sense of story and legend.

It's also beneficial for marketing the Extreme Path Team and the game Dota Alliance.

In any case, whether Chen Yiyang likes it or not, he has become a wealthy second-generation in the public eye.

Chen Yiyang doesn't mind this.

His high wall of connections isn't stable yet; having the reputation of a wealthy second-generation standing in front isn't bad.

After the Extreme Path Team won the championship, Chen Yiyang stayed in Incheon for another day and returned to the country with the team members.

That day in Incheon, he saw some insider information requiring tens of millions to invest in real estate here for appreciation.

Chen Yiyang thought it was not worth it, so he gave up this opportunity and returned to his country.

After all, in South Korea, he doesn't have particularly strong political connections, and even if he picked up a good business opportunity, it might be taken away by someone else, which is not safe.

After successfully flying back to Shan City.

Chen Yiyang, together with Zeng Hai, first announced the distribution of the club's prize money, as previously agreed. The players get a share, the club gets a share, and Chen Yiyang takes a share.

Next were the players' contracts; if anyone wishes to stay next year, Chen Yiyang will raise their salary to some extent.

Of course, he also made it clear that next year, the domestic league might be restructured due to Tengxu's involvement. By then, the players' market value and annual salary are expected to rise.

If anyone wishes to leave, the club allows them to privately contact other clubs to see the terms.

Chen Yiyang privately hopes some of the players wish to leave, so he can earn transfer fees without breaking his promise to Zeng Hai.

Finally, Chen Yiyang let Zeng Hai announce his decision to leave.

The five young lads of Extreme Path Team were all reluctant to hear that their veteran teammate was leaving.

But it was Zeng Hai's own decision; they had no say.

This also resulted in Chen Yiyang having to stay in Jin City temporarily to manage the club in Zeng Hai's place.

However, Su Luo, who was taking over Zeng Hai's position, immediately rushed from Shanghai to Shan City after receiving the news, so Chen Yiyang didn't have to stay here for too long.

And recently, the film Nameless Nobodies, directed by Rao Zhi, which Chen Yiyang previously invested in, is preparing for release.

Chen Yiyang plans to have the Extreme Path Team post on Weibo to promote this movie.

At the same time, he sent the Golden Inlaid Knife from the Wang Mang period that he previously acquired to an antique appraisal institute for evaluation.

"A Golden Inlaid Knife from the Xinmang period, and it's a one-blade equal to five thousand copper coins. It's indeed a rare item, and it's so well-preserved,"

Inside the appraisal institute, the appraiser expressed his amazement looking at the Golden Inlaid Knife Chen Yiyang brought.

"In ancient times, the better the minting, the higher the acceptance of a currency by the common folk. In modern times, however, they aren't worth much. For instance, various tongbao and ingots that exist in large numbers, some are worth just a dollar each.

Conversely, currencies like these, which were reviled and not used by the common folk in ancient times, are incredibly valuable today."

"Why were the common folk reviling it?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"This Golden Inlaid Knife, called one-blade equal to five thousand, is because Wang Mang decreed that this knife could be exchanged for five thousand copper coins.

However, the manufacturing process wasn't complex, and the material wasn't sturdy. Although it was called a Golden Inlaid Knife, the top two words of 'one-blade equal to five thousand' were merely gilded.

With such a knife, its true value should have only been one or two hundred copper coins at most, but the government wanted to exchange it for five thousand copper coins from the common people.

No wonder it was reviled.

Therefore, such Golden Inlaid Knife from the Xinmang period wasn't minted widely and is scarce nowadays.

Considering the condition of this Golden Inlaid Knife is very well-preserved, it shouldn't be a problem if its value exceeds two hundred thousand."

"Only worth two hundred thousand?" Chen Yiyang, after hearing a long explanation from the appraiser, thought it might be worth one or two million.

"At market price, two hundred thousand is about right. But since it's relatively scarce, if this price seems low, you might take it to an auction; it could sell for a higher amount."

"Alright then, please grade it and issue a certificate for me. I'll try to auction it later."

Chen Yiyang had picked up many antiques before, but had never sold them at auction.

The main reason was that without connections, scheduling a sale at a large auction could take a long time.

And small auctions are often disorganized, so entrusting them with items could risk swapping.

The other reason was that Chen Yiyang was quite short on funds at the time; auction payouts often take several months, which he couldn't afford to wait for.

Now that he has more money, sending picked-up antiques to auctions is feasible.

But now, he doesn't lack money that much.

To put it accurately, he lacks money, but the kind that amounts to billions.

He doesn't lack amounts around several tens of millions.

Forget it, might as well keep it for himself and consider founding a personal museum collection later.
