Lin Yi's persuasion wasn't able to calm Lu Shilin down. But what could he do? Even if he threw a tantrum on the field, he couldn't change the result of the match. The only possible outcome was that he would be thrown out by the security guards.
Lin Yi felt that he couldn't communicate with this guy anymore. He could only lead the players back to their seats. But when he looked over, he saw that the boss, Xiao Jie, was also angry.
"Go back and pack up your things. Get out of here!" Xiao Jie pointed at the group of contestants who had left the arena and abruptly left after saying this. He didn't even turn his head back.
Lin Yi and the others had miserable expressions. They had persevered in Team Jade Dynasty for so long. They had only thought that the team wouldn't be able to hold on and everyone would go their separate ways. They had never thought that today's outcome would be like this. They weren't very capable players. Without a team like this, they might never be able to make a living as a pro player.
Lin Yi sighed. Their life and death were completely determined by this game. In contrast, Lu Shilin looked like the end of the world. This was really ironic!
After Xiao Jie left, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. He didn't even look back. Jade Dynasty's players had their careers completely ended. Their hearts ached, but no one went up to their boss to beg or explain anything. After a year of being together, they all knew what their boss's personality was like. His arrogance made it impossible for him to change his decision, even if he himself knew that it was wrong.
Lin Yi stood in a daze for a while. He didn't chase after his boss, nor did he immediately leave. Instead, he turned around and walked over to Happy.
Happy's side was filled with joy. Seeing this, Jade Dynasty's players were all envious. However, when they saw Lin Yi walk towards them, everyone in Happy restrained themselves. The emotions of a loser were worth understanding!
"That was a very good match." Lin Yi reached out his hand to Ye Xiu. Even if he lost to the point where his career was over, Lin Yi didn't lose the demeanor a pro player should have. The greetings between the captains before and after a match were just a formality. But Lin Yi could still remember this after such a loss. It was clear that he was sincere.
"Thank you." Ye Xiu reached out and shook his hand. "Don't give up. Keep it up."
"I want to." Lin Yi smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid I won't have another chance."
Happy and the rest were stunned. Chen Guo pointed in the direction of the tunnel where Xiao Jie had disappeared. "Could it be that what he said just now … wasn't something he said in a fit of anger?"
Of course, Ye Xiu and the others had seen Xiao Jie's outburst earlier. However, the competition had just ended. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he had fired the entire team with a raise of his hand. No one would easily believe such a thing, so they all thought that Xiao Jie had said it out of anger. But now, listening to Lin Yi's words, it didn't seem to be a sentence of anger.
"Anyway, I hope we can meet again in the future. I wish you all the best." Lin Yi finished what he wanted to say and was ready to leave.
"Hey, wait!" Chen Guo suddenly jumped out and stopped Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stopped and turned around.
"Your boss really didn't say those words in a moment of anger?" Chen Guo was still struggling with this question. She couldn't believe that someone could be so unreasonable and capricious.
"I'm afraid not," Lin Yi said sadly.
"Then what are you guys going to do in the future?" Chen Guo asked.
"I don't know yet. With our skill level, there probably won't be any teams willing to accept us!" Lin Yi laughed at himself. "Today's match will probably be our farewell match."
"Uh …" Chen Guo hesitated. She turned around and looked at Ye Xiu, as if she was considering how to phrase it.
"Our boss said that if you don't have a suitable way out, you can come to Happy first." Ye Xiu finally spoke up for her.
"Huh?" Lin Yi was shocked.
"But … I'm afraid that you won't be a member of the team for the time being. But there will always be suitable places for you. It's all related to Glory," Ye Xiu said.
When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately understood. They were all people in the circle. How could he not understand the meaning behind Ye Xiu's words? This kind of placement was what many retired players looked forward to. After all, Glory was what they were most comfortable with. But the problem was that Jade Dynasty and the others hadn't reached the point where they wanted to retire yet. If the conditions permitted, they would still prefer to be a pro player on the battlefield. Even though they knew that their skill level was limited, they felt that it was still too early to assume that there was no room for improvement.
If it were Lu Shilin, he would probably immediately jump up and ask, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm not good enough to be a pro player and can only do odd jobs?" However, Lin Yi knew that the other side had good intentions. Perhaps only a team with veterans like Ye Xiu, Wei Chen, and Sun Zheping could truly understand and tolerate players at the end of their rope.
"Thank you." This was the first thing Lin Yi wanted to say. "But I think we should discuss this with my brothers first before making a decision!"
"No problem." Chen Guo nodded. "Leave your contact information!"
The two sides exchanged contact information. After Lin Yi thanked them again, he turned around and returned to his teammates' side. As they left, some people kept looking back at Happy with astonishment. Clearly, Lin Yi had already told them about Happy's situation.
Lu Shilin, who had been petrified like a statue, stared blankly at this scene. Suddenly, he seemed to come to a realization. He jumped down like a madman and pointed at Jade Dynasty's departing players. Then, he pointed at Happy's players and yelled, "Good! I understand now! You guys colluded beforehand! You've already been bribed, so you guys purposely threw the match, right? Too despicable! I'm going to complain about you guys! Referee, where's the referee? "
This guy was crazy. He actually treated the normal exchange between the two players after the match as a shady deal. This kind of thinking stunned everyone. Even Ye Xiu, who had a wealth of battle experience, had never seen such a person before.
"F * ck! What kind of person is this? Baozi, it's time for you to show your talent! "Wei Chen immediately scolded.
"Okay." Baozi immediately jumped out bravely. "What should I do? Kill him?"
"No, no, no!" Ye Xiu hurriedly stopped him.
"What? You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it?" Lu Shilin acted as if he had really found a magic weapon that could turn the situation around. He was extremely arrogant.
"Don't stop me! I'm going to cripple this shameless guy!" Wei Chen couldn't stand it anymore and prepared to do it himself.
Lin Yi and the others were about to leave, but they heard Lu Shilin's crazy outburst. Although Lin Yi and the others had already been kicked out by their boss, Xiao Jie, they were still teammates with Lu Shilin. Seeing this guy pester them endlessly, they suddenly felt ashamed, especially when this guy actually accused them of fixing the match. This made them a little angry.
Jade Dynasty's members once again surrounded Lu Shilin, preparing to drag him away.
"Let go of me, you shameless bastards! Do you have any professionalism?" Lu Shilin struggled to break free and pointed at Jade Dynasty's members as he cursed.
Jade Dynasty's members' faces were ashen. If they really didn't have professionalism, they would have beaten Lu Shilin to death already. Look at Team Happy's Wei Chen. Isn't he struggling to come over and beat someone up?
The audience was in an uproar, but because they were quite far away, they could only watch. They couldn't hear what was being said. It seemed like Team Jade Dynasty and Happy had some sort of dispute.
In the end, it had to be said that Ye Xiu had a lot of experience in dealing with situations. He didn't hit the unreasonable Lu Shilin, nor did he try to reason with him. He blocked Wei Chen while looking around and shouting, "Security! Security! Come quickly! There's someone here who lost and acted shamelessly."
When he shouted this, some people in the crowd laughed out loud. When they looked at Lu Shilin again, they didn't find him as annoying as before. He really did seem like a child who acted shamelessly when he couldn't eat candy.
The security had already noticed the commotion and were rushing over. Not even half a minute after Ye Xiu finished yelling, they arrived at the scene. But before Ye Xiu could say anything, Lu Shilin grabbed the security guard's hand as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw: "I want to complain. These two groups of people colluded to fake the match."
A bunch of people facepalmed. The Alliance of course had a Disciplinary Committee to supervise this sort of thing. There would also be channels for complaints, but no matter what, it wasn't the responsibility of the venue's security. These two systems were completely unrelated.
However, the security guard seemed to be experienced in dealing with problems. After Lu Shilin grabbed his hand tightly, he didn't shove it back. Instead, he gently advised, "Okay, okay, okay. Calm down first. Come, come, come. Tell me slowly."
"It's like this … …" Lu Shilin started talking. Then, Happy and Jade Dynasty's members watched as this noisy child was lured away by the security guard.
"He managed to keep his life," Wei Chen said with certainty.
Ye Xiu didn't care about his bragging. Lin Yi's group, who had already left, said their goodbyes to Happy again. This time, Team Happy was also preparing to leave. Chen Guo had a bold personality. She walked up to Seven Fields and the others, who were dumbfounded by the scene just now, and waved her hand. "Let's go and celebrate our victory!!"
That night, Team Happy had a reason to relax. After a difficult journey, they finally reached the final step. What came next was the target that Team Happy had been targeting for the past year: Team Excellent Era.
At that time, Excellent Era had proudly left first, not waiting for the results. But after they left the stadium, before everyone had even sat down on the bus back to the hotel, they received news that Team Happy had won and would be their opponent in the finals.
"So fast?" The members of Excellent Era were all shocked by the time. Even though Team Jade Dynasty was a weak team in their eyes, shouldn't Excellent Era also be a weak team at the same level? He actually won by an overwhelming margin once again? On the way back to the hotel, no one in Excellent Era mentioned the upcoming finals. This was a very rare occurrence.
= = =
Team Excellent Era was finally in front of him! Like everyone else, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
