For the time being, all that was left was to wait. Li Huailin originally thought that there was nothing else to do, and that he could focus on dealing with the last heirloom. But the next morning, Li Huailin was woken up by a phone call. Li Huailin was a bit surprised, because the person who called wasn't Fu Weiwei, but Li Jianyi.
"F * ck, I forgot about this." Li Huailin suddenly remembered that Li Jianyi was looking for him because of the competition. Half a month had passed, and the S-rank competition was about to begin, but Li Huailin had already forgotten which day it was.
A few days ago, Li Jianyi had also looked for him. Of course, it was about the individual competition. Li Jianyi also wanted Li Huailin to participate in the individual competition. After all, this was the first season where the individual and team competitions were separated. In other words, there would be the first individual competition champion. Although the company still valued the team competition, the first individual competition champion was still relatively attractive. Huaxing Corporation also hoped to win it. Of course, if they wanted to win it, looking for Li Huailin would be the safest choice. Unfortunately, Li Huailin still directly refused.
Li Huailin's reason was also very simple. He very straightforwardly told Li Jianyi that although the previous competition was also an individual competition, it was at least a round-robin format. So playing a few less matches didn't matter at all. For example, in the first season, Li Huailin played a few less matches and still won the championship. But now, it was different. The main competition was now a team competition, and the individual competition was directly an elimination system. Although the S-rank players had the treatment of seeded players, they could play a few less matches, but they still couldn't miss a single match. Li Huailin really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to participate in every match, so he explained it to Li Jianyi.
With regards to Li Huailin's lateness, early departure, and absenteeism, Li Jianyi had already gotten used to it. But who asked Li Huailin to be the champion? If it was anyone else, Li Jianyi would have already scolded them to the point of resigning. But Li Huailin couldn't do that. Right now, Huaxing still couldn't do without Li Huailin. There was no other way. Since Li Huailin wasn't willing to participate, Li Jianyi could only give up. However, he still requested Li Huailin to participate in the team competition. But Li Huailin didn't care at all. If he could be absent, then he'd be absent.
When he saw Li Jianyi's phone call in the morning, Li Huailin roughly knew what the other party was looking for him for. It was probably because the team competition was already out, so he called Li Huailin to inform Li Huailin.
Sure enough, after chatting for a bit, Li Jianyi talked about this matter. In reality, the team competition had already been out for a long time. The S ranked team competition had already started two days ago. Li Huailin didn't even make it to the opening ceremony. Of course, Huaxing Corporation didn't have any competition in the past two days, but Li Jianyi had been looking for Li Huailin. Unfortunately, Li Huailin didn't come online. Today, he really had no other choice but to call.
Li Huailin also opened his inbox to take a look. In the end, Huaxing Corporation's opponent today was … Team LGD. What the hell? I've never heard of this team before.
"It's the team that Brushing Sleeve The World is currently in." Li Jianyi explained. Li Huailin also got the gist of it. Because of the sudden change to the team system, every company basically gave their team a simple name. Of course, it had to be in both English and Chinese. Chinese was easier, but English was more troublesome. And because Hua Xia had just started the team system, there were some things that needed to be in line with the international standards. In other words, they needed to go through the international certification of the team. Therefore, time was a little tight. The name had to be announced as soon as it was announced. There wasn't any time for the two to discuss, so they came up with a simpler name.
For example, today's opponent, LGD. It was said that it was the abbreviation of the sponsor. By the way, the team that Li Huailin was in Huaxing was called SOZ. As for what it meant, Li Huailin had no idea.
By the way, the current Brushing Sleeve The World was no longer the same team as Anran. Although the bosses of the companies were quite busy during this period, they still had time to poach people. Therefore, there was a slight change in the members for this competition. Of course, there were a lot more newcomers this time. This was because every team had to have at least four people to participate in the competition. Therefore, the 16 companies had to send at least 64 people. Many A-ranked players were also promoted. In short, the current S-ranked competition was very different from before.
Of course, the reason why Li Jianyi called him was because of today's competition. However, Li Huailin really didn't want to participate. Today's opponent, the LGD team, wasn't very strong. Their only celebrity player was the newly joined Brushing Sleeve. There was also an S-ranked player who didn't make it into the finals last year. The rest of the players were A-ranked players who had just been promoted. Li Huailin didn't think that Huaxing would lose. Feng Yiliu, Jiang Xueyi, and Famous General Talent were all there. Moreover, this was a round-robin competition. Even if they accidentally lost, it didn't seem to affect them too much. Therefore, Li Huailin was thinking of ways to skip work.
"Director Li, Director Li, I really have something urgent to do today … Really, really, I can't leave the mission here."
"This …" Li Jianyi facepalmed. "No, Huailin, you haven't appeared in this season. Do you know how popular you are now? If you don't show up for a long time, the audience will really cause trouble. "
In fact, there were already people who called Huaxing to ask what was going on. Why didn't Li Huailin attend the opening ceremony? Li Jianyi had also explained for a long time. If he didn't participate in the first round of the competition, then Li Jianyi could predict that there would be a lot of people calling him. What was worse was that those media reporters would start making up stories again. Things like "The national team captain had a conflict with the company and refused to participate in the competition", "The national team captain is slacking off and acting like a big shot" and so on. This was really too troublesome.
"Ah … Director Li, I'm in trouble …" Li Huailin didn't think too much about it. He didn't care anyway, so he just threw the burden to Li Jianyi. As he spoke, Li Huailin directly hung up the phone. He really had something that he couldn't handle, and it wasn't a joke.
The first problem that Li Huailin had to deal with was the problem of the last secret treasure. Based on the known information, the last secret treasure was most likely the Gangara tribe's God's Stone. However, the only person who knew the whereabouts of this thing, Anthony, had lost his memory. This was a little difficult. Li Huailin could only force himself to help Anthony think about it. If it really didn't work, then he could only use stimulation therapy.
As soon as he went online, Li Huailin's location was in the main city. Looking at the time, it was probably morning court time. (Li Huailin didn't know that the morning court was usually held once every five days. He thought that it was held every day. In fact, there was no morning court today.) He thought about waiting for a while. At this moment, the patrol team came over.
"Your Excellency, His Majesty the Emperor has been looking for you," the captain of the city guards said when he saw Li Huailin.
"Oh, now? That's fine. " This was just right. Li Huailin was about to wave his hand when he suddenly saw two familiar people walking over.
"Your Excellency, there's something here …" The two walked in front of Li Huailin and said.
"En?" Li Huailin couldn't remember where he met these two. Although he had some impression of them, he couldn't remember them. They didn't seem to be important people, but they were looking for him at this time … Li Huailin thought for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Someone wants to see you …" The one in front said in a low voice.
"See me … I, I remember." Hearing this sentence, Li Huailin suddenly remembered that these two seemed to have talked to him like this before. After thinking for a moment, Li Huailin also remembered why he had an impression of these two. If he remembered correctly, these two guys were Queen Malinna's people. The last time Malinna secretly summoned him, it was also these two who came.
Thinking about this matter, Li Huailin obviously knew who wanted to see him. After thinking for a moment, Li Huailin still felt that he should meet with Malinna and see what she wanted. So he turned his head and said to the captain of the city guards, "Who's that?"
"Yes, Your Excellency." The city guard captain immediately nodded and said.
"I have a little matter here. I'll go to the palace after I solve it. You can go patrol by yourself first." Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The city guard captain didn't say anything else. He directly nodded and left with his people.
Li Huailin also followed the two of them to the direction of the inner city, and the meeting place was still the relatively remote small courtyard from last time. This was probably the only suitable place for Ma Linna to meet. The two also separated. One of them waited for Li Huailin while the other left to inform Malinna.
Li Huailin sat in the courtyard and rested for a while. After about 20 minutes, the sound of a carriage could be heard. Without looking, Li Huailin knew that Malinna had arrived.
Sure enough, when he raised his head, Li Huailin saw Malinna wearing a black robe walking in from the door. Because she knew that Li Huailin would be able to recognize her, she didn't disguise herself and directly walked towards Li Huailin.
"I say, Your Highness, can you not chat with me whenever you have nothing to do? Every time you sneak out to meet me privately, and the number of times is so frequent. If people find out, they will think that we have an affair."
"Pfft." Marina snorted and said, "Who's having an affair with you? Do you think I want to meet you? What's going on with that Gangara tribe? "
