Chapter 2869 Surprise!

After hearing this, Chen Guo immediately nodded, and then all she could do was grin foolishly.

Tang Rou has already started training. Although he is a novice, he has the help of Wu Xuefeng, a kind person, and he has quickly learned most of the common knowledge of the game's levels.

At this moment, relying on common sense and understanding, and his abnormal hand speed, Tang Rou's competitive level, although not up to the level of a substitute in the team, is far beyond the level of an ordinary competitive rookie.

Anyone who's played games knows that if you don't understand them, you probably won't enjoy playing them. But once you do understand them, you get itchy fingers and can't resist playing for a bit.

Tang Rou, in particular, after practicing for a while, was already evenly matched with Wang Ze, Shen Jian, and He Ming. She couldn't help but challenge Ye Qiu again, but ended up losing 10 matches in a row.

Tang Rou's competitive spirit returned, so he practiced even more diligently. Since Wang Ze, Shen Jian, and He Ming, three newcomers, were also training diligently, he joined in the training as well.

When Chen Guo called, she saw that Tang Rou was training even harder than the three men. The three boys would go to drink water and relax after training for a while, but Tang Rou was like a robot. She never rested until she was completely exhausted.

Chen Guo quickly grabbed a drink and said to Tang Rou after she finished her training session, "Rou Rou, our competition won't start until after the New Year, so you don't need to rush."

Tang Rou shook her head firmly and said, "My goal is to defeat Ye Qiu, so I can't rest casually."

Hearing this, Chen Guo said helplessly, "Really? He's the number one player in the league. It'll be very difficult for you to beat him."

Tang Rou knew this, of course, but she was a proud person, and ordinary people simply couldn't be her master!
So she proudly said, "Someone as outstanding as me, if I'm going to play Glory, I'll aim for the top spot in the league! That's what gives me a sense of accomplishment."

Chen Guo couldn't help but give Tang Rou a thumbs up before saying proudly, "Your idea is amazing. But I have some good news to tell you."

While sipping her drink, Tang Rou casually asked, "What good news?"

Chen Guo said proudly, "Wang Yue has already signed a contract, Ye Qiu has officially transferred to our club, and Su Mucheng is also transferring over. Aren't you surprised?"

With both of them on our team, we're guaranteed to make it into the official league!

Upon hearing this, Tang Rou asked Chen Guo a question that made him want to vomit blood: "Su Mucheng, who is she?"

Chen Guo's smile froze instantly. She said incredulously, "You don't know who Su Mucheng is? She's the number one female player in the league! I remember telling you! You didn't remember?"

Seeing that Chen Guo was about to jump up and down in a panic, Tang Rou laughed and said, "Okay, I was just kidding. You keep talking about Su Mucheng in my ear. Although I don't know what she looks like, I know she probably plays e-sports."

Seeing Tang Rou's reaction, Chen Guo said dejectedly, "Rou Rou, how did you become so naughty? You're even joking with me."

Tang Rou sighed and said, "It seems Mr. Wang spent a lot of money. Does that mean you have even fewer shares now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guo replied nonchalantly, "A little bit of shares is fine. As long as I get the internet cafe in the end, everything else is just a bonus."

"If I gain it, I'm fortunate; if I lose it, it's fate. I don't force things."

Tang Rou liked Chen Guo just the way she was. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "Alright, now that you're at ease, I'll have to work even harder. Otherwise, when we enter the official league, Boss Wang will definitely buy someone else."

Chen Guo said nonchalantly, "Alright, no matter who he buys, you'll always be the best."

Tang Rou was very happy after being praised, so she started joking with Chen Guo. She was tense, but then her nerves completely relaxed.

After resting for a while, Tang Rou found that she was in much better condition during training than before. She then realized that she had been too tense. So, she was not as nervous as before during the training, which reassured Chen Guo.

Tang Rou chose the Battle Mage class, and after her condition improved, she became more comfortable using the Battle Mage.

After seeing Tang Rou's condition, Ye Xiu suddenly found Wang Yue and asked with a smile, "Wang Yue, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Seeing Ye Xiu's serious expression, Wang Yue was a little confused and said, "Ye Xiu, just say what's on your mind. I bought you for 5000 million, so I can usually meet your requests."

But your smile like that gives me the creeps; I always feel like you're up to no good.

Ye Xiu's words caught in his throat. He asked in surprise, "Wasn't I acting that deliberately?"

Wang Yue said with a smile, "Of course, judging from your conflicted expression, it must be something big."

Ye Xiu rubbed his nose and said somewhat helplessly, "It's like this, I have a Thousand Chance Umbrella character in my alt account. This character is prepared for the unaffiliated class, and I just happen to want to try out the unaffiliated class."

Look at our Tang Rou, if she keeps practicing, she'll definitely be able to master the Battle Mage class.

However, I am very familiar with all kinds of professions, and the most suitable profession for me is that of a freelancer.

Hearing this, Wang Yue said helplessly, "The 'free agent' class existed at the beginning, but now you can only learn skills up to level 20, which is very energy-consuming."

If you were young, it would be fine, but you're already old. If you play as a casual player, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up for more than two years before you run out of energy.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes and say incredulously, "No way? I'm only twenty-five years old, and you're saying I'm old!"

Wang Yue patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder and said with great emotion, "Ye Xiu, we have to accept our fate. The golden age for playing e-sports is only eighteen to twenty-five."

After playing these 7 years of competition, various cervical spondylosis or other problems will appear, and if you continue, your condition will get worse and worse.

You're 25 now, and you're starting to go downhill. That's normal; you have to accept that fact.

Ye Xiu really wanted to tell him to keep exercising and pay attention to rest, as he was in excellent health, but he felt that it was meaningless.

He could only say seriously, "Just let me play for two years, and I guarantee I'll bring you one or two championships."

Seeing Ye Xiu's response, Wang Yue added a condition, saying, "Then you have to train Tang Rou for me, pass on all your insights into battle mages to her. I don't expect her to reach your level, but at least she should be able to reach a top-tier level. That way, I can rest assured."

Ye Xiu immediately nodded and said, "That's no problem, I can agree to anything you ask. The problem now is that my account is level 0, and the Thousand Chance Umbrella is at a very low level. It also requires a lot of materials to slowly build up, which will cost a lot of money. You have to help me with that."

Wang Yue had no objection to this. He said very seriously, "How about this, you sign me a 10-year contract!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu immediately exclaimed in shock, "Ten years? Are you Huang Shiren? Even Huang Shiren wouldn't take that long!"

Wang Yue wasn't angry at all, and calmly said, "Alright, alright, you can play for as long as you want in the match, but you'd better be a good coach from now on."

I think with your tactical skills and professionalism, you can train a lot of new players for me.

"If you're willing to agree, I can do everything in my power to forge the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella for you, and I'll collect the materials for you no matter the cost."

When Ye Xiu heard Wang Yue say this, it was essentially like Wang Yue had already arranged all his future jobs before he became a professional player, which was quite good for him.

So Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Alright, I'll agree then. My account happens to be in the tenth server, which is a new server. I remember we have a guild here, so let's start setting some records."

Wang Yue knew that breaking records could enhance the guild's reputation and attract more talent to the team, but he didn't understand why Ye Xiu was doing this.
So Wang Yue said helplessly, "Okay, I know you want the materials, but don't worry, I'll prepare them for you. You should continue training my new recruits."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Ye Xiu quickly said, "No, wait, what exactly is this Thousand Chance Umbrella? We need to study it slowly based on the materials. It's not just about synthesizing it; I also need to use it in battle to see its durability and other resilience."

Hearing this, Wang Yue said speechlessly, "Then tell me, what do you plan to do next?"

Ye Xiu said with a smile, "I want to play in the new area for a while. Of course, I will arrange the training of our team members with Wu Xuefeng."

When Wang Yue heard Ye Xiu say that, he thought that the official league would only start next year, and once Su Mucheng arrived, they would be able to enter the league. Moreover, Ye Xiu could play in crucial moments.

So Wang Yue said helplessly, "Alright, since you put it that way, I'll temporarily hand over the management of the gangs under our team to you."

"I'm not planning on making money from the gang anytime soon. Could you help me manage the gang without affecting its operation?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu immediately retorted, "Really? I need that time."

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "I don't care about you. Either you play fewer games, or you take over the management of the gang."

Seeing that Wang Yue was being unreasonable, Ye Xiu had no choice but to agree. After all, Wang Yue had spent tens of millions to buy him to play in competitions, but he was just playing games. Most companies would not have bought him back then.

Wang Yue's less-than-refined explanation to him was something Ye Xiu felt was already done very well.

Ye Xiu agreed, but he wasn't an honest man. He immediately thought of Lan He, the guild administrator of the Blue Rain team, whom he had met while playing the game these past few days.

Although Lan He has been tricked a lot these past few days, it's not a matter of intelligence; he's just been outsmarted. As long as he can recruit him, he'll definitely be able to manage the gang well.

Ye Xiu's account in the tenth server is called Lord Grim. He has been playing with several people from his team for a while now, and with his superb skills, he has become a celebrity in the server.

Sure enough, Ye Xiu logged on again and saw that Lan He was also there. He immediately sent an invitation.

"Lanhe, I have something good to tell you. Want to work with me?"

Upon seeing Ye Xiu's message, Lan He replied irritably, "How many times have you lied to me? Let me tell you, you'll definitely be ganged up on by the other teams this time. I'm only giving you face because of our friendship."

Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright, I appreciate your kindness, but if you do this, you might not be able to stay at Blue Rain."

Lanhe said nonchalantly, "I'm a loyal friend, so I'm just letting you know in advance, but that doesn't stop the eight guilds from ganging up on you together."

Ye Xiu couldn't help but chuckle before saying seriously, "Alright? Once I've dealt with your siege, I'll definitely post a message in the world chat to thank you properly."

Upon hearing this, Lan He immediately became agitated, "How could you repay kindness with enmity? You can't be like this!"

Ye Xiu knew that teasing someone to this point was enough; teasing them any further would offend them.

He immediately changed the subject, saying, "How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

Ye Xiu was surprised that Lan He was so accommodating, and immediately added,

"Let's bet on whether I can get through this crisis. If I can, you'll agree to one condition; otherwise, I'll make it public that you helped me."

How can you be so shameless?

"Just tell me, is it congested or not?"

"What if I win?"

"If you win, I'll help you run dungeons for free from now on!"

"make a deal!"

Lan He was also very curious about the circumstances under which Lord Grim could evade the encirclement and pursuit of several major teams.

What Lanhe didn't expect was that the elites sent by the other teams' gangs, who originally wanted to ambush Lord Grim's five-man team, were surrounded by Happy Gang as soon as they got into position.

Other members of the major gangs wanted to counterattack, but the entrances to the teleportation arrays in the wilderness were blocked, and a large number of team members were waiting in full force at the city gate. All their elite gang members had been killed and were stuck in the spring, unable to get out.

The loss of these gang members' levels is nothing compared to the loss of their equipment; that's what really hurts them.

The entire 10th district was abuzz with excitement because of this battle, as no new guild had ever dared to challenge an established guild before.

Moreover, the Happy Guild is actually challenging so many challenges as a single guild. Even with the support of the Happy Team behind them, it would be difficult for them to achieve this.

So many people are waiting to see Team Happy make a fool of themselves, or more people are just there for the spectacle.

Regardless of what others thought, Ye Qiu sought out Lan He even before the great battle was over.

"So, did I get through this trouble safely?"

Lan He wasn't a newbie either. Remembering how Happy Internet Cafe had helped Lord Grim earlier, he immediately realized what was going on and excitedly asked, "You joined Team Happy?"

"Yeah, it's all for survival, so of course we have to join a team. That way we'll have someone to rely on in the future."

Seeing that Ye Qiu had admitted it so readily, Lan He felt very frustrated and asked, "You can join our Blue Rain team, then we can still play together. You're really not being fair."

Ye Xiu, confirming that he was well-prepared, asked very directly, "Are you sure you can get in touch with your team captain?"

Lanhe fell silent immediately. He was intimidated by the team captain's face, let alone speak or introduce the team members.

Ye Xiu didn't give Lan He a chance to think and immediately said, "Look, I won the bet, so shouldn't you agree to what I said?"

Lan He was initially thinking how cunning Ye Xiu was, having even recruited helpers, but then he realized that Ye Xiu had also contributed to the victory and was quite loyal.

But now he suddenly remembered that he had made a bet with Ye Xiu today, and he asked warily,
"Lord Grim, you don't mean to make me join Team Happy as a guild administrator, do you? I'm doing just fine here with Blue Rain, why would I want to go over there?"

Ye Xiu's reasons were quite sufficient.

"Over there, you're at most the president of the 10th district. Above you is the general president, but if you come here, you'll be the general president."

"Just tell me, when will you be promoted to General Manager at Blue Rain?"

After listening to Ye Xiu, Lan He had to admit that Ye Xiu's words made a lot of sense, leaving him speechless.

Ye Xiu knew that this reason was enough to sway Lan He, so he pressed on and said...

"I have good news for you. The great Ye Qiu is transferring to Team Happy. After you come, relying on Ye Qiu's reputation, you will soon be able to build the 10 largest guilds in 10 regions."

Think about it, your Blue Rain guild isn't even in the top three in one region, how different are you from a guild that controls 10 major regions?

"What? Ye Qiu transferred to Happy? How is that possible? Excellent Era would never do such a thing! Unless Tao Xuan has gone mad!"

Lan He, of course, couldn't believe this fact. After he finished speaking, remembering that Lord Grim had gone to Happy, he quickly retorted,
"Ye Qiu would be very popular with any team, so why would he go to a newly established team that hasn't even made it to the league yet?"

Ye Xiu immediately recounted the whole story Wang Yue had used to fool Tao Xuan.

"The problem is that Ye Xiu is getting old. He will retire sooner or later, and Team Happy was originally a gathering place for Ye Xiu fans."

To be able to lead your fans in pursuit of a championship at the end of your career is truly meaningful.

Hearing this, Lan He actually began to believe it. After all, Ye Qiu was already quite old for an esports player, and retirement was only a matter of time.

A thought suddenly struck Lan He, and he excitedly asked, "You joined Happy, is it because Ye Qiu is planning to invite you?"

Ye Xiu immediately said shamelessly, "Of course! I dominate the tenth server, and my skills are so good, who else would he come after if not me?"

Lanhe didn't refute these words. After all, Lord Grim had turned the 10th district upside down, so it was only a matter of time before he was noticed by a team.
