E-sports is a game for the young

As Chen Cong asked his question, Du Ziteng also looked over with a curious expression.

He was also very curious about what was happening inside the Room; it was his first time seeing game strategy discussed in such a way, just like a class.

"No, they're having a class."

Hearing Chen Cong's question, Yao Beiguo did not hide anything.

"A class?"

Chen Cong was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a second.

Seeing this, Yao Beiguo looked carefully into the Room, and after noticing the content on the whiteboard, he spoke again.

"They are having a math class right now."

Math!

Hearing Yao Beiguo's serious answer.

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng both wore expressions of confusion. Giving esports players math classes inside a gaming club?

That sounded so jarring.

Meanwhile,

The esports players from Tian Ge who were following closely behind also heard Yao Beiguo's words and opened their mouths in surprise.

Then they began to whisper among themselves.

"No way, giving esports players math classes in an esports club? Did I hear that right?"

"This is just too insane. Those who know will realize it's an esports club, but those who don't might think it's a tutoring center."

"It's so hard to understand why this club is giving classes to esports players!"

"I also don't understand that rule about having to rest before 12 AM. Is there any esports player who doesn't stay up late?"

"This esports club is so interesting."

"I can't imagine why this club would do this; doesn't it affect training time?"

"…"

"General Manager Yao, won't these classes affect training time? Besides, these classes don't help professional players improve their esports skills at all."

Chen Cong came back to his senses and looked at Yao Beiguo with a puzzled expression.

He found it hard to understand what the point was of a gaming club giving academic classes to professional team members.

If it were just the luxurious decoration of the club or the grand dormitories he saw earlier, he could understand that General Manager Chen was very good to his company's employees.

But the matter of giving academic classes to professional players was something he couldn't fathom; he didn't understand what General Manager Chen was trying to do.

"It does indeed affect training time."

Yao Beiguo nodded, then his tone shifted.

"But that doesn't mean it fails to improve training effectiveness."

"Why?"

Chen Cong's gaze became even more curious. If training time is reduced, how could it possibly improve training effectiveness?

"This is where General Manager Chen is brilliant. We only considered the issue of training time, but we didn't consider the age of those professional players. The professional players in the club are basically just past adulthood, and since they play games so well, they are basically internet-addicted youths."

"Think about it: a teenager addicted to the internet who only has a limited amount of time each day to play games—what will he do? He will cherish the time he can play games each day immensely. The level of focus will be much higher than when he could play games all day long. This leads to them making very rapid progress in their games, even faster than when they could play all day."

Yao Beiguo watched the teaching inside the Room and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

General Manager Chen is truly General Manager Chen!

Before the reforms, those professional players in the club, although they played games all day, were not very serious. Sometimes, because they stayed up late at night, they didn't have the energy to play games or train the next day.

But after the reforms, every professional player had good sleep and highly cherished the time they could play games every day.

This was something he never could have imagined before the reforms.

"Ah!"

Chen Cong opened his mouth in shock; he hadn't expected things to be like this.

However, thinking about it carefully, it really seemed to be the case.

His club also had many young professional players who were very casual when playing games in the esports Room every day. Even when playing training matches, they were in a daze.

It seems he could try the BL Game Club's method when he gets back.

Yao Beiguo looked at Chen Cong's shocked expression, smiled slightly, and continued.

"Of course, giving these esports players academic classes isn't just about making them cherish their training time. Another part of the reason is that General Manager Chen is considering the future of these employees; this is where General Manager Chen's true vision lies."

"Esports is a career for the young; this is a well-known fact. When they get older, where should those professional players go? They entered the club at a young age, so they certainly didn't pay attention to their studies. If they were to look for an industry outside of esports, they certainly wouldn't be able to find one."

"So General Manager Chen is considering the future of those esports players, and these 3-4 academic classes every day are for their future planning. After retiring, they can return to school to continue their studies. The current academic classes are to ensure they don't forget too much of their schoolwork, which would make it hard for them to get back into a learning state when they return to campus later."

"Of course, besides returning to school, we have other options here. They can stay in the club to work, or choose to work at other companies under the Mingri Group. Of course, when each professional player makes a choice, they will also receive corresponding training."

Listening to Yao Beiguo's words.

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and admiration.

They had established the Tiange Club for such a long time, but they had never considered what those professional players should do after retirement.

And this situation was not just the case for their Tiange Club.

He believed that most gaming clubs would not consider what happens to those professional players after they retire.

From this, it was clear.

What General Manager Chen was doing was something they couldn't even imagine!

"Let's go, the cafeteria is inside."

Yao Beiguo looked at Chen Cong and Du Ziteng and took the lead, continuing to walk inside.

After a while,

Chen Cong brought the club members to the downstairs of the BL Game Club building and directed everyone to enter the commercial vehicles parked on the side.

"Is everyone here?"

Yao Beiguo walked to Chen Cong's side and spoke slowly.

"Yes, everyone is here. Sorry to trouble you today, General Manager Yao."

Chen Cong looked grateful.

"No trouble at all. I have heard General Manager Wei talk about you. You have helped the Mingri Group a lot; what I have done is nothing at all."

Yao Beiguo waved his hand dismissively.

"Let's set off. General Manager Wei and the others just sent a message; they have already arrived at the Corner Pet Park."

Yao Beiguo said as he walked into the vehicle nearby.

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng also followed and sat in.

The vehicles slowly drove off, heading straight towards the Corner Pet Park.
