"Hey, Old Ye!"
The one who took the initiative to greet Happy was none other than the owner of Excellent Era, Tao Xuan. As he shouted, he quickly walked over to welcome them. His tone and actions were filled with warmth and friendliness. For a moment, Chen Guo was a bit dazed. Did she recognize the wrong person?
Ye Xiu smiled and raised his hand to greet the other party.
"You guys came over pretty early." Tao Xuan was full of smiles.
"You guys too." Ye Xiu said.
Tao Xuan looked at the members of Team Happy one by one. He was a veteran in the scene, so he could recognize Wei Chen and Sun Zheping if he tried. However, as the boss of a powerhouse team, there was no need for him to waste his time trying to establish any sort of relationship with two players who had already passed their prime. As a result, he treated these two as normal players and nodded his head, treating it as a greeting to all of Happy's members.
"I really didn't expect this team of yours to be so interesting. Happy, right? I didn't realize that there were so many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in our neighborhood! "Tao Xuan said and smiled at his team members behind him. The owner smiled. How could everyone not help to warm up the atmosphere? Immediately, the members of Team Excellent Era began to giggle.
Tao Xuan said jokingly. Without waiting for a response from Happy, his gaze was fixed on one of the members of Team Happy.
Tang Rou.
Team Happy. The one who really piqued Tao Xuan's interest was Tang Rou. However, now that Excellent Era had Sun Xiang as their ace in the Battle Mage position, Tao Xuan didn't have any thoughts of replacing him. However, when he saw that this player was in a team like Happy's, he felt even more pity than the other teams that were interested in Tang Rou.
"Miss Tang, nice to meet you." Tao Xuan ignored everyone else and only greeted Tang Rou.
With Tang Rou's background, she was also someone who had experienced a lot of things. She was definitely able to handle any situation. After responding to Tao Xuan's question, she heard Tao Xuan say, "Miss Tang, you're such an outstanding talent. You can't be buried. After this competition, if you're interested, you can contact me at any time. This is my business card."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Chen Guo was enraged. Tao Xuan's words were filled with arrogance. Not only was he trying to recruit a player in front of everyone, he was also hinting that Happy would definitely be eliminated.
"I don't mean anything." Tao Xuan smiled and said in a carefree tone. At this time, Tang Rou had already taken the business card from his hand. She nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Then I won't chat anymore. See you in the competition tonight." Tao Xuan immediately called out to Team Excellent Era's players and walked out. The team's players followed the boss and didn't look sideways. Only Su Mucheng stayed behind and talked to Ye Xiu and Chen Guo as if no one else was around. Tao Xuan obviously knew this, but after glancing back, he didn't say anything and just left with his people.
"This guy is too infuriating. Why didn't you guys react at all? " Chen Guo looked around. Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were usually pretty good at infuriating people. Why were they so calm now?
"I just thought that! It's not easy for such a big boss to personally come to us and talk trash. He has to give us some space to express himself. "Wei Chen said seriously.
"Oh? Who's that guy? "An Wenyi and Luo Ji asked curiously. Tao Xuan thought that he was a big shot, but he forgot that he was a big shot. Most people wouldn't be able to come into contact with him. He really did put a lot of effort into swearing, but unfortunately, Happy's people didn't even know who he was. Just based on his action of giving Tang Rou a business card.
"Is he a talent scout?" If An Wenyi and Luo Ji were to guess, they would most likely get this answer.
Chen Guo couldn't be angry anymore. She pulled on Su Mucheng and asked her all sorts of questions. But before the big match, she didn't mention Glory at all. Chen Guo clearly wanted to avoid this sensitive topic. After all, no matter how clear Su Mucheng's position was, they were still opponents in this match. She said that she had to face it with a professional attitude, but what was her true feelings? So Chen Guo felt that it was better not to talk about this.
After entering the stadium, both teams had their own people to receive them. Su Mucheng still had to return to Excellent Era's side. The two teams were then brought to their respective waiting rooms. The stadium had already been set up. Both teams had two hours to get used to the setting.
"Team Excellent Era said that we can let everyone get used to the stadium first." The receptionist immediately sent a message.
"Oh, thank them for me." Ye Xiu nodded.
"Okay, I'll pass on the message." The receptionist politely left. Happy's group strolled around the spacious waiting room. Even Wei Chen was filled with emotion. When he was still in the Alliance, even pro teams didn't have such good conditions. Stadium? What a joke. Back then, there was no need for such high accommodations. Just find a conference center that could hold hundreds or thousands of people and hold a match. But now, in less than ten years, many teams had their own dedicated competition centers. The speed at which Glory's pro scene developed could only be described as changing with each passing day.
"Not bad, not bad. It's really not bad!" Wei Chen touched here and there, looking at all sorts of things. When he was done, he was in high spirits and waved his hand: "Come, let me see what the current equipment is like."
Happy's players walked out of their lounge and quickly entered the stadium through the player passageway.
From the spectator stands, it wasn't much different from the previous stadium. After all, the seating capacity was about the same. But the decorations of the stage were very different. The preparation area for the players was on the south side, while the stage was on the east and west. The center of the stage was a large empty space. The holographic projection would be projected onto this area. After almost an entire season of baptism, the holographic projection broadcasting technique had been honed to a very mature level. Any spectator who came to watch a match live would definitely have a completely different experience compared to watching a match at home. It wasn't just the experience of watching a match live in a lively atmosphere. Because of this change, the attendance for this season's matches had skyrocketed. The Alliance and all the teams had benefited greatly from this change. This method would be further improved.
Happy's group walked around their preparation area and then headed to the stage. For the players, the holographic projection area in the middle wasn't important at all because they couldn't see what was going on in the match. The stage was their true battlefield.
On each side of the stage, there were six player booths. It was clearly designed for the team competition with the highest number of people. All the computer hardware in the player booths was the same. This was a rule set by the Alliance. As for the main equipment used by the players, they could bring their own mouse and keyboard. There were very convenient plugs in the player booths. However, the equipment would be inspected before the match to see if it met the Alliance's regulations. If they forgot to bring their equipment, there was no need to worry. The Alliance wouldn't be so strict as to disqualify them. They could borrow equipment from their teammates or have the standard equipment provided by the stadium.
The stage was already open for the players to warm up. Naturally, all the necessary checks and adjustments had already been completed. This time, the Challenger League's standards were quite high. It was completely standard for the Pro League.
Happy's group entered the player booths. They turned on their equipment and tried it out. Even Chen Guo was in high spirits as she experienced the feeling of being a pro player. When they came out of the player booths, they saw Wei Chen standing there by himself, staring blankly at the stadium.
Chen Guo didn't go up to disturb him. She copied Wei Chen and looked around the stadium. This veteran who had retired for many years had never thought of returning to this familiar battlefield. But one day, he actually stood here. How would he feel at this time?
Chen Guo turned her head to look at Wei Chen. In the end, she saw that Ye Xiu was already standing next to that guy. They were both happily smoking cigarettes. The ashes were flying in the air for everyone to see.
Chen Guo was really speechless towards these two. Couldn't they leave some space for others to be moved?
Even though Wei Chen hadn't experienced this scene before, as a former veteran, he was still very adaptable. He wasn't like those youngsters who were curiously walking around the player booths. After this torment, two hours passed. The figures of Excellent Era's players began to walk out of the player tunnel.
In reality, there was no conflict between the two teams when it came to getting used to the stadium. Two hours wasn't really a time limit. If they really wanted to spend an extra half an hour, it wouldn't be a violation of the rules. However, before the final match, all equipment would be sealed off for one final inspection. At that time, the players would have to leave.
So, Excellent Era's request for Happy to get used to the stadium was completely unnecessary. It was another display of the pride of a powerhouse.
Only Excellent Era's players came to get used to the stadium. Tao Xuan didn't follow. Seeing that Happy's group was still here, Excellent Era's players didn't say anything. They just walked around the preparation area and then went to their competition area. When Happy's group was about to leave, someone from Excellent Era suddenly said, "Hey!"
Happy's group stopped. Then, they saw the stubborn Sun Xiang who had been ridiculed countless times.
"Ever since the start of the offline tournament, I've always gotten five points in every match," Sun Xiang waved his hand and shouted, "Tonight won't be an exception."
"This kid can't be saved." Chen Guo said helplessly. Even she was indifferent to Sun Xiang's provocation. One could imagine how many times Sun Xiang had made jokes like "The wolf came" but the wolf didn't come.
Happy's group ignored him and left the stadium.
At 8 PM, the finals of the Challenger League officially began.
