The high level of attention increased their popularity, something Lin Yifan did not want. However, fortunately, they were only known within the Honor of Kings esports community, so they weren't too famous.
But what they didn't know was that talent agencies had taken notice of the five of them and wanted to collaborate, hoping to rake in big bucks in the entertainment industry together.
More than an hour later, it was the Lin Family's Invincible Five squad's turn to compete; at this moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers, warmly welcoming their arrival.
This level of popularity was not what Qin Zikang and his peers wanted to see, but they were helpless. Under normal circumstances, they could send someone to threaten and suppress them, but with Lin Yifan's strong background present, it wasn't wise for them to make such a move.
"I hope that the Ma Family team can defeat that bastard team and vent some anger for our Clan," Qin Zikang and his peers prayed in their hearts.
Hopes are always beautiful, but reality is often cruel.
And so, in less than twenty minutes, the Lin Family's Invincible Five won another match, scoring two points and temporarily tying for first place with several other teams.
After winning the match, the venue cheered once again, celebrating their victory.
Lin Yifan, accompanied by Zhou Jiajia and the others, bowed in gratitude for their cheers.
"Goddess! I love you!"
From the audience, a nerd confessed their love to Zhou Jiajia and the others, unable to hold back any longer.
"God of men! Can I add you on WeChat?"
The female spectators below were also enraptured, their eyes glued to Lin Yifan's handsome face, unwilling to look away for even a second.
Lin Yifan and the others smiled, ignoring these insincere confessions.
After leaving the stage and returning to the lounge, someone came to talk business with them.
Indeed, these were representatives from the talent agency. They first greeted Lin Yifan and the others politely, then got straight to the point and explained their intentions.
"Mr. Lin, and the four lovely ladies, I wonder if you would be interested in breaking into the entertainment industry?"
"What's so fun about the entertainment industry?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"The entertainment industry isn't just about singing and dancing, but also involves filming movies and TV shows; besides that, you can participate in reality shows and various other programs, which are a lot of fun; most importantly, it's lucrative, which is the main thing," the talent agency staff member answered.
"Oh!!! So that's how it is," Lin Yifan acted as though he had just understood, then suddenly changed his tone and coldly replied, "Not interested!"
This response caught everyone present off guard, leaving them stunned.
Just a moment ago, he had a smile on his face, but the next, his expression turned stern, truly unpredictable.
"Mr. Lin, are you really not interested?" the talent agency staff member persisted, unwilling to give up.
With Lin Yifan's handsome appearance, becoming an idol would be perfect, and they really wanted to recruit him.
"Big sister, I'm not short on money right now, and even if I wanted to enter the entertainment industry, I would use my own team, so there's no need for you to bother," Lin Yifan replied.
"So you mean to say Mr. Lin is quite wealthy?" the talent agency staff member asked with a smile, a hint of mockery in their tone.
Being publicly rejected was indeed a bit embarrassing and frustrating; moreover, in their eyes, how much money could an esports gaming team have, if not depending on other wealthy people?
For them to take interest in Lin Yifan and his team, they considered it a stroke of luck for them; normally, they wouldn't pick someone from the esports community to be a top celebrity.
Lin Yifan didn't want to waste words with someone who looked down on others, and so he simply threw out a purple card, asking, "What card is this? You should be very clear, right?"
Upon seeing the purple card on the table, all of the employees from the talent agencies clasped their hands over their mouths in shock, faces filled with disbelief.
This was the legendary Diamond VIP card that only members of the clans possessed, something even their bosses weren't qualified to own.
"Could he really be a hitman from the clans?"
The agency employees were inwardly terrified. Before they tried to recruit Lin Yifan, they had done research and inquired about some matters regarding him.
The information they gathered indicated that Lin Yifan was a dreaded figure not to be trifled with in Capital City; initially, they thought it was just a rumor and didn't take it seriously. (How could Lin Yifan possibly dare to provoke a scion of the capital's most powerful clans?) Now, they had no choice but to believe it.
After learning Lin Yifan's status, the employees from the talent agency immediately bent over to apologize, "Mr. Lin, we are sorry, we did not know the eminence of your identity and thus unintentionally offended you, please forgive us."
"Hmph! Why haven't you scrammed yet?" Lin Yifan demanded angrily, really wanting to slap them.
Actually, had it not been for the person asking being a woman, he would have already made a move.
The employees from the talent agency fled in disarray, never daring to provoke Lin Yifan again.
Zhou Jiajia and the others felt an urge to laugh. These sorts of situations, where mockery turned into being frightened out of their wits, were truly amusing.
However, speaking of which, they were indeed curious whether Lin Yifan was interested in becoming a star, so they asked, "Yifan, do you want to enter the entertainment industry?"
"Why should I enter the entertainment industry? To become famous?" Lin Yifan retorted.
"Entering the entertainment industry doesn't necessarily mean seeking fame; you can freely enjoy singing, and you can also act in TV dramas and movies for us to watch!" Zhou Jiajia and the others replied.
"If that's the case, then you must be my leading ladies; otherwise, I won't do it," Lin Yifan responded.
"Sure! No problem," Zhou Jiajia and the others readily agreed.
After a brief discussion about entering the entertainment industry, Lin Yifan and his companions drove back.
On the other side, Zhen Jian and his team were close to seeing results from their research and believed that it wouldn't be long before they could start mass production.
"Lin Yifan! Just you wait and see, I will make sure you meet your downfall!"
In the office, Zhen Jian crushed a glass cup in one hand, his eyes brimming with hatred for Lin Yifan.
A smile played on the corners of Chun Yan's mouth; at last, she had found someone who shared her feelings of misery.
She and Zhen Jian had a common enemy, and she was not fighting alone.
The professional league continued, and day by day, Lin Yifan played his matches until, three days later, he faced a formidable opponent in his group—the Qin Family's team.
Lin Yifan still vividly remembered the foolish act of Qin Zikang losing to him in the video game arcade just a few days prior; now, with Qin Zikang wanting his family's team to defeat him, there was no way Lin Yifan would let him succeed easily. Thus, he urged Zhou Jiajia and her companions to be on full alert.
After several days of matches against the clan teams, they had gained some experience. Their coordination, team composition, and strategy had become more instinctive; moreover, their skills were constantly improving. Therefore, they were not very afraid of facing the Qin Family's team.
After choosing their lineup, the match began.
Lin Yifan took advantage of the strengths of their lineup to quickly gain the upper hand in the early game, then kept expanding and capturing the Qin Family team's Defense Towers, steadily closing in on their base crystal.
In the end, under a standoff, Lin Yifan's team took advantage of the bushes in Dominion Valley to ambush and sweep the Qin Family's team, securing the victory in the match.
