Chapter 2870: Fighting the League's Number One!

Lanhe had actually mentioned Lord Grim's strength to the guild leader, hoping to win back this talented individual, but the guild leader didn't care at all.

Actually, it's not the president's fault. After all, Honor of Kings has billions of players worldwide, and there are just too many amateur geniuses like this. If they were to recruit every single one of them into the guild, the Blue Rain team probably wouldn't be able to accommodate them all.

For example, their guild also has a group of very skilled players, who are recruited by the guild, but none of them have been noticed by the esports teams.

Moreover, the operation of team members and the operation of online games are two different concepts, and the difference is very large.

Furthermore, Lord Grim, as a free agent, can only use basic skills up to level 20, which is beyond the reach of most players. That's why the Guild Master rejected Blue River's request.

Lanhe actually felt that he didn't have much say in the association, so he didn't have any hope when he spoke, and as expected, he had no heart.

Seeing that Lord Grim, a casual player, had actually realized his dream, Lan He was genuinely happy for Lord Grim and congratulated him with a smile, "Then congratulations! You'll be able to compete in professional matches from now on."

Ye Xiu had his own plans, so he remained aloof and said, "We're so familiar with each other, why be so polite? We just happen to need a president for the general guild here, and when Ye Qiu asked me, I recommended you! He agreed after hearing my evaluation of you."

So, no matter what, you have to come, otherwise I'll lose face.

Hearing Ye Xiu say this, Lan He asked in surprise, "Great God Ye Qiu acknowledges my abilities? That's unlikely, isn't it?"

Ye Xiu sensed a hint of surprise in his words, and in order to coax him over, he smiled and echoed, "Of course! I've said a lot of good things about you to the pros, how about that? Pretty loyal of me, buddy?"

Lan He was swayed by Ye Xiu's words and was filled with enthusiasm. He immediately said, "That's too far-fetched. How about this, I'll check where Team Happy is. I'll go see them in person. If they're suitable, I'll go. If they're not, don't blame me!"

Let me tell you, if it's truly not suitable, even if you publicly declare that I've betrayed several major gangs, I still won't go.

Ye Xiu felt that once Lan He came, he would never be able to leave, so he immediately said, "Let me tell you, the benefits here are amazing. Once you come, you definitely won't want to leave. You have to believe me on that."

Lanhe, of course, didn't believe it. After all, not all teams are the same. He didn't believe that any capitalist was kind.

However, for the sake of Jun Moxiao, Lan He still took leave and prepared to go and see.

……

Coincidentally, just as Lanhe was taking leave to visit Team Happy, he happened to run into a joint press conference held by Team Excellent Era and Team Happy.

At the press conference, Tao Xuan and Wang Yue solemnly announced the trade between the two teams, which immediately ignited the entire e-sports circle.

It's hard to believe that Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, Ye Qiu, and Su Mu Cheng are all celebrities in the e-sports circle, and now they have all transferred to a new club.

Moreover, Su Mucheng is considered a cash cow for Team Excellent Era, attracting many fans and being the main source of their profits.

Even such a cash cow was given away by Excellent Era to Team Happy, making many people think that Tao Xuan had gone mad.

Regardless of what the fans think, the deal was completed, and it had nothing to do with the fans' will!
After seeing the deal, Lan He completely believed Ye Xiu's words and felt that he had definitely come to the right place.

Of course, if Ye Xiu wanted to put Lan He at ease, he would have to meet with Lan He.

Ye Xiu was originally in contact with Lan He, so when Lan He arrived, he had to face a certain reality.

Lan He looked at Ye Xiu, listened to his old, smoking voice, and asked incredulously, "You're Lord Grim?"

"Yes!"

The answer to Lan He came from Ye Xiu's lazy voice!
"Then why do you claim to know the coming of autumn from a single leaf!"

Lanhe clearly didn't quite believe it, but Ye Xiu had even gone up on stage to show his face when the club completed the transaction.

Although Ye Xiu was wearing a mask, he hadn't changed his clothes. Lan He wasn't stupid, so he could confirm it, though he clearly didn't quite believe it.

"it's me!"

Ye Xiu answered calmly, explaining that he had done so more than once.

"Your ID card clearly says Ye Xiu! How could you possibly be Yi Ye Zhi Qiu?"

Lan He seemed to have found a loophole and asked incredulously, worried that his idol's image would be shattered just like that.

Ye Qiu reluctantly recounted his initial experience of running away from home.

"There was once a young boy who wanted to run away from home, but his twin brother took his luggage and ran away from home instead."

Lan He understood something and immediately nodded, saying, "You mean you're the older brother who tricked your younger brother out of his luggage?"

Ye Xiu nodded and said confidently, "That's really smart, that's exactly it, so this ID card belongs to your brother."

Lan He initially wanted to believe him, but considering how Ye Xiu had been playing him for fools lately, he asked uncertainly,
"Are you sure you're not joking with me? It sounds so unreal."

Ye Xiu patted Lan He on the shoulder, giving him a look that said, "You're too young."
"You're still too young and inexperienced. Isn't this kind of thing normal?"

Lan He was about to nod when he remembered the twins. What if this one was fake? He immediately shook his head and said, "You're not trying to fool me, are you? You need to have Su Mucheng come and vouch for you."

"Pfft~!"

Tang Rou and Chen Guo couldn't help but laugh. They both thought that Lan He had been fooled and must not be very smart, but they didn't expect that he hadn't been fooled at all in the end.

Ye Xiu didn't expect Lan He to take such a dramatic turn; this was quite different from the Lan He he had described online.

Fortunately, it wasn't a difficult problem. Ye Xiu picked up the phone helplessly and said, "Isn't Su Mucheng being interviewed right now? She'll come over after the interview is over."

Lan He still had some doubts about Ye Xiu, but he believed what Su Mucheng said. After all, she was a celebrity in the e-sports circle and had been Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's partner for many years. If Su Mucheng admitted it, then there was definitely no problem.

Since Su Mucheng's interview still had some time, Ye Xiu took Lan He on a tour of Team Happy's base and its supporting services.

When Lan He saw that Wu Xuefeng, Qin Tianran, Xue Mingkai, and other veterans of Team Excellent Era were also working for Team Happy, either as coaches or as support staff, he was immediately tempted.

It's important to understand that these support staff are actually the core members of the gang, and they are paid high salaries.

Because Lanhe is very clear that whether it's the e-sports circle or those of them running gangs, they will face the risk of being eliminated as they get older.

Lanhe is currently in the guild, and although he is in charge of a branch guild, as he gets older, his position will definitely be replaced.

By then, not only will his salary decrease, but he will also gradually become marginalized, and eventually he may be eliminated altogether.

After all, the esports industry is a young person's game, and so are the gang members who serve esports. So when they can still work, their salaries are very high, but when they can't work, their salaries are very low, and they may even be laid off.

Unlike esports players, who can support themselves for a lifetime with the money they earn in a few years, these gang staff members cannot support themselves.

But if Team Happy can recruit these veterans, then they can definitely recruit him in the future. From this perspective, Lanhe is actually already preparing to join Team Happy!

Ye Xiu considered this from that perspective, which is why he deliberately brought people over, wanting to conquer Blue River with sheer strength.

Excellent Era Club was not far from the emerging club. After Ye Xiu left, Wang Yue, who was holding a press conference at Excellent Era, casually gave a few interviews and then returned to Happy with Su Mucheng.

According to the original plan, Chen Guo was also supposed to go for the interview, but she was really scared, so she had no choice but to let Wang Yue go instead.

When Lan He saw Su Mucheng, he first greeted her warmly, and then asked her...
"Su Mucheng, Ye Qiu, is it really Ye Xiu?"

Su Mucheng wanted to laugh after hearing this, but she still nodded in confirmation.

"I want to join Team Happy!"

After hearing this, Lan He agreed to join without hesitation.

……

With the addition of Blue River, Team Happy began to expand into several other regions besides the Ninth and Tenth Districts.

With two prominent figures, Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, Team Happy quickly gathered a large number of casual players from the first to the eighth server, and also merged with several small guilds that voluntarily joined them, making Team Happy's guild a force that could rival the eight major guilds.

With the support of so many guilds, Ye Xiu no longer needs to devote so much energy to the game. He only needs to use different level accounts to constantly fight in the arena and find out where the Thousand Chance Umbrella needs improvement.

It has to be said that Ye Xiu's research on the Thousand Chance Umbrella is incredibly expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars almost every day.

Fortunately, the results were very obvious. The first version of Ye Xiu's Thousand Chance Umbrella was completed, and at this time, it just so happened to be the Glory All-Star Weekend.

Teams like Team Happy, who haven't officially entered the league yet, would normally have no chance to participate. However, Team Happy has Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu, so Glory headquarters had no choice but to invite them.

Of course, the other teams invited the entire team, but when it came to Team Happy, only a small portion of them were invited.

Besides Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, there are also three veterans: Wu Xuefeng, Qin Tianran, and Xue Mingkai. Of course, Wang Yue, the boss, is also indispensable.

As for Chen Guo and Tang Rou, Wang Yue managed to persuade them to participate in the event. Now, the members of Team Happy have changed again, as the newcomers have been trained and Wu Xuefeng, Qin Tianran, and Xue Mingkai have completely left the team to become professional coaches.

The new team members were several people Ye Xiu knew from the tenth server, including Bao Rongxing, An Wenyi, Mo Fan, Qiao Yifan who took the initiative to come to him, and Ye Xiu's old friend Wei Chen.

Everyone else was fine, but Qiao Yifan, although he came to us on his own initiative, had a contract with Tiny Herb, and there was a little incident with his arrival.

……

Chen Guo took great care of her idol, Ye Xiu. When Ye Xiu took a liking to Qiao Yifan, she went directly to Wang Yue, wanting to buy him back.

After hearing this, Wang Yue refused without hesitation, saying, "There are plenty of talented players like this. The league is never short of geniuses. You can't let your stance waver just because you like Ye Xiu."

You need to understand that you're one of the owners; you have to consider the team's interests, not always act on emotion.

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Chen Guo immediately shook her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever like Ye Xiu? I like Ye Qiu, no, I like Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, but that's a completely different thing from liking a person, okay?"

Wang Yue had originally been thinking about how to poach Chen Guo from Ye Qiu, but after hearing what Chen Guo said, it seemed that she wasn't as deeply involved as she appeared on TV.

However, Wang Yue felt it was best to seize the opportunity as soon as possible, so he deliberately asked, "Really? But your attitude towards him is quite different, which made me think I had no chance."

At first, Chen Guo liked Ye Qiu not only because "One Leaf Knows Autumn" was her spiritual sustenance after taking over the internet cafe, but also because she regarded him as her idol.

But after Wang Yue arrived, Chen Guo quickly became the boss, and she realized that her former idol was not so unattainable after all.

It was under these circumstances that Ye Xiu suddenly arrived here, and the two did not have the same kind of contact as before, so their feelings for each other were not as deep.

On the contrary, Wang Yue's temperament and support for Chen Guo's dreams during their time together made Chen Guo shift her idol long ago.

Hearing Wang Yue say this, Chen Guo felt as if her idol had suddenly confessed his feelings to her. She immediately put her hands together and asked expectantly,

"Really? Do you really like me?"

Seeing Chen Guo's reaction, Wang Yue knew he had won her over. He immediately assured her, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, we're strangers, why should I support you?"

Chen Guo suddenly realized that it made sense. Wang Yue was not related to her at all. If he didn't like her, why would he support her dream?

Keep in mind that she was just an internet cafe owner. Although she had some money, Wang Yue was much richer and would never be interested in her money.

So, it seems Wang Yue was only attracted to her looks? Chen Guo immediately felt a little proud and asked sweetly, "Did you fall in love with me at first sight? Or have we met before?"

Wang Yue knew that to win a girl's heart, he had to say a lot of things, so he said solemnly, "You might not believe it, but I always feel a sense of familiarity when I look at you, even though I've never met you before. I think this is probably fate, which is why I want to get to know you better."

Chen Guoge started to fill in the blanks in his mind, following Wang Yue's train of thought, "You first saw me at the internet cafe, and then after being eliminated by Excellent Era, you wanted to talk business with me?"

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, it's a good opportunity to get to know you better and see if you're my type."

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Chen Guo immediately said with a smug look, "So, did you fall in love at first sight?"

Wang Yue replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, otherwise why would I have asked you that earlier?"

Have you thought it through? Do you want to be my girlfriend?

"it is good!"

Chen Guo immediately nodded and said, "I don't want to miss out on a diamond bachelor like you!"

Now that they were officially a couple, Wang Yue reached out and took Chen Guo's hand, saying with a smile, "My dear Guo Guo, please take good care of me from now on."

"No problem, you'll have to take good care of me too."

Chen Guo held Wang Yue's hand back, not shy at all, but like a child who had secretly eaten candy.

However, Chen Guo wasn't blinded by Wang Yue's sweet words. After a moment of joy, she suddenly changed her tone and said,

"Ah Yue, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, so you don't need to be jealous anymore."

Wang Yue was stunned for a long time before he realized that Chen Guo thought he was against Qiao Yifan coming over simply because he was jealous.

In fact, Wang Yue felt that even if Qiao Yifan was suited to the formation, it would be difficult to change his style. He could simply wait until Qiao Yifan was eliminated by the club and then bring him back, which would be much cheaper.

But now that Chen Guo has said so, I, Wang Yue, have no choice but to contact TinyHerb.

In reality, for a player who hasn't even played a proper match yet and isn't even a substitute, he's not worth much money at all.

Therefore, since Wang Yue took the initiative to poach Qiao Yifan, Tiny Herb did not forcefully try to retain him and simply allowed Wang Yue to bring Qiao Yifan over.

Because of the sudden increase in the number of players, Team Happy made a lot of adjustments.

Wang Yue, leaping off the page, a swordsman.

Ye Qiu, whose name means "one leaf heralds autumn," is a battle mage.

Ye Xiu, Lord Grim, Sanren
Su Mucheng, Mu Yu Cheng Feng, Gunner

Fang Shiqian, a gentleman, a pastor.
Tang Rou, Han Yanrou, Battle Mage
Bao Rongxing, Baozi Invasion, Rogue
Qiao Yifan, One Inch Ash, Ghost Swordsman

He Ming, a renowned elemental mage
Shen Jian, every punch lands hard, a martial arts master.
Wei Chen, deploying his troops against the wind, a sorcerer.

Wang Ze exclaimed in amazement, "Sharpshooter, substitute!"

The team has 11 members. Ye Xiu was chosen because he has two positions, so his name was called out based on his two names.

Of course, among so many people, there is one person who will definitely retire after playing for one season, and that is Wei Chen.

Wei Chen was tricked by Ye Xiu into coming here to rely on his strength, and at the same time, he was also planning to retire in the future.

However, Wang Yue had no plans to have these people retire. He intended to establish a second team as soon as Team Happy qualified for the league, and then continue to compete in the league.

Wang Yue had no intention of having two teams compete in the league simultaneously; he simply wanted to continue training talent and supplying talent to his Happy Glory team.

Of course, Wang Yue's plan includes more than just this one competitive division; other divisions will also be established, but that's a matter for the future.

Ye Xiu brought along more than just these talents through the game. There was also a guy named Luo Ji, whose analysis was very accurate and who really enjoyed doing this job, so Ye Xiu recruited him to be an analyst.

After finishing all that, the members of Team Happy who were going to participate in the Glory All-Star Game boarded the bus to the Glory Alliance headquarters.

……

Although the Honor All-Star event is an exhibition match, it also provides an opportunity for newcomers.

For example, Gao Yingjie from Team Tiny Herb challenged his captain, Wang Jiexi, and both of them used the Mage class.

Throughout the process, Wang Jiexi deliberately modified some skill points to give Gao Yingjie some confidence, allowing Gao Yingjie to win the match.

Before the competition started, Gao Yingjie was so nervous during the interview that he looked like a child who had made a mistake. But after being comforted by Wang Jiexi, his confidence immediately returned.

When Qiao Yifan saw that Gao Yingjie had actually beaten Wang Jiexi, he said with envy, "Gao Yingjie is indeed a genius. He actually beat Captain Wang."

Seeing Qiao Yifan's obvious envy, Ye Xiu said seriously, "You're wrong, Wang Jiexi didn't lose!"

Tang Rou frowned and said, "Losing is losing. It's not surprising that the veterans are criticizing a newcomer. After all, it's just one game. It's normal not to perform well."

Ye Xiu knew that Tang Rou was still determined to destroy him, and said helplessly, "You may not have any idea, but Wang Jiexi's damage value is obviously different from before. He must have lowered it."

Tang Rou listened thoughtfully. One of her strengths was that she wouldn't force herself to argue about things she didn't understand. She would only express her opinion after gaining a thorough understanding of the matter.

Qiao Yifan also thought this was normal, but he still asked with some confusion, "Why? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to give up a game in such a situation?"

Wang Yue patted Qiao Yifan on the shoulder before saying to Tang Rou, "This is what inheritance is, just like Ye Xiu wanted to pass on the Battle Mage class to you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Rou immediately shook her head and said, "A win is a win, a loss is a loss. I want to know where my shortcomings lie, but you absolutely cannot let me win on purpose!"

Ye Xiu had originally planned to follow Wang Jiexi's example and lower his attribute points to boost Tang Rou's confidence, but after hearing Tang Rou's words, he didn't know what to say.

Wang Yue understood that Ye Xiu was very smart and had a good grasp of human nature, but after all, he had been playing games for many years and had not received professional training, so he did not know how to train Tang Rou.

So Wang Yue smiled and said, "Ye Xiu, not everyone needs encouragement. Tang Rou is an unstoppable sword. She only believes in the sword in her own hand. So what you need to do is let Tang Rou see the gap, so she knows where to work harder, instead of deliberately losing to her. She will feel humiliated rather than encouraged by that."
