[The King's Avatar] I'm the Manager of Team Samsara. Got a Problem with That?

[Unlimited comments are now open] Gu Rong, who was about to graduate, figured she had to find a job. She needed an internship certificate to graduate, and she also had to pay the mortgage on the apartment in S City that her parents had impulsively helped her make a down payment on. If she didn't find a job soon, she'd starve. But what could a twenty-one-year-old management major even manage? [Ding!

The System rewarded her with a [100% Hiring Success Card: Samsara Team Exclusive]. Hmm, the Samsara Team... Wait, what??? Gu Rong realized she had transmigrated, but before she could even be surprised, she was made the team's manager. Samsara was already strapped for cash after signing Zhou Zekai. Gu Rong's take: First things first, we need to make money! How else can we buy players down the line? And how can we win championships without signing great players? She started selling team merchandise, and soon the other teams followed suit. She wanted to build an entirely new lineup, and the other teams began competing to do the same. She took Samsara from broke to loaded, and from a mid-tier team to a star-studded powerhouse. Even the people who had cursed her at first eventually fell silent. “Me after buying the merch: Stop releasing stuff, we Samsara fans are broke, got it? Me every time new merch drops: I want it so bad!” “Samsara might make mistakes in the future, but Sister Rong will never be the one responsible!” “Sister Rong isn't some crown prince's mom!

"[The King's Avatar] No Idea, They Said They'd Pay More, So I Came" Preview blurb ⬇️ Wen Yihe is an utterly ordinary esports commentator, famous in the Glory scene for getting her pay docked over verbal slip-ups. She used to be a pro player, but retired before players started getting better treatment. She also became a professional commentator, but deductions for misspeaking ate up nearly half her salary. Wen Yihe: What else can I do? I'll just make do. Then one day, a former rival who had also retired sent her a private message, asking if she'd come on as a tactical advisor. He promised to help her win another championship. A championship? If she'd wanted one, she would have already returned to the esports scene to chase her dream. So Wen Yihe replied with a crisp “No.” The other person went quiet for ten minutes, then offered an even more tempting deal: triple the pay. Looking at her long list of salary deductions, Wen Yihe fell silent too. If they were offering triple pay, she had to see what it was like! But a month after Wen Yihe was lured aboard the pirate ship, she let out her first anguished cry: I should've known better than to work for broke people!
