The playoffs were in full swing. Happy and his group accepted Lou Guanning's invitation to stay at Club Heavenly Swords for a few more days. Every day, the two sides would compare notes on Glory and watch the ongoing matches. Apart from that, Lou Guanning also discussed the possibility of the two sides continuing to work together with Happy.
Next, the two sides would be direct opponents in the Alliance. It wouldn't be like before where there wouldn't be any direct conflicts. Lou Guanning's actions could be considered as a villain first, then a gentleman. In the future, no matter how suitable, no matter how unsuitable, everyone would come to a gentleman's agreement to avoid future conflicts that would ruin the good relationship between the two sides.
After a few days, Happy finally had to return. Before leaving, Lou Guanning carefully told Ye Xiu a piece of news: "Excellent Era seems to be interested in selling One Leaf Of Autumn. They're currently trying to find out our intentions."
"Oh?" Ye Xiu's expression remained the same, "Then are you interested?"
"20 million... I think, let's just forget about it..." Lou Guanning seemed to intentionally give Ye Xiu a price. Then, he smiled bitterly, "With our current skill level, it's too much of a waste to use that kind of character."
"You sure are rational now!" Ye Xiu sighed.
"One step at a time!" Lou Guanning laughed.
"Okay, see you later!" Ye Xiu waved and prepared to leave.
"That..." Lou Guanning hesitated, but still opened his mouth in the end, "One Leaf Of Autumn... if you don't have enough money, just say the word."
"No need," Ye Xiu laughed, "It's the same as Excellent Era. That's all in the past."
"You can equip Little Tang!" Lou Guanning pointed at Tang Rou.
"If she wants it, she can buy it herself." Ye Xiu said half-jokingly.
Lou Guanning stared blankly. Then, he remembered Tang Rou's identity and laughed. In the end, he shook hands with Ye Xiu and didn't say anything else.
City H, Club Excellent Era.
After a few days of hustle and bustle, the Excellent Era Club seemed a little bleak under the scorching summer sun. There were no longer any fans gathering outside the club. The various slogans that were once plastered all over the place had now been cleaned up by the sanitation workers. Only a few traces of the slogans could still be seen.
The door to Excellent Era was still closed. Everyone around said that the door had never been opened.
At this moment, in front of the main entrance, Ye Xiu was looking up at the Excellent Era emblem hanging at the top. In the past, this emblem had to be cleaned twice a week. But now, the team emblem, which had not been cleaned for a few days, looked a lot dimmer.
Creak Creak Creak …
The door was carefully opened a crack, and half a head poked out. When it saw Ye Xiu, it was slightly startled, but then it opened the crack a little wider.
Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng walked in, and the door closed behind them. Excellent Era was just as bleak as it was outside. There was not a single person in the entire courtyard. The two walked together towards Excellent Era's practice center. This was practically the center of life for Excellent Era's players. Eating, living, training … …. Apart from going to a match, the players could stay here without leaving. Ye Xiu had lived this kind of life for many years.
After entering, they went upstairs and walked towards the player's living quarters. As they passed by the practice room, Ye Xiu suddenly heard the sound of a keyboard and mouse.
It was Glory.
Ye Xiu could tell that this was a game he was incomparably familiar with. Sometimes, when he heard the rhythm of the keyboard and mouse, he could even imagine what was going on.
At this time, there were still people playing Glory in the Excellent Era practice room?
"You go tidy up first. I'll go take a look," Ye Xiu said.
"Okay." Su Mucheng nodded her head and continued towards the player's living quarters, towards her room. Ye Xiu went to the practice room.
The door to the practice room wasn't closed. Ye Xiu quietly walked in and immediately saw a figure lying in front of a computer. This person was playing Glory, the in-game Arena. This person was using a Battle Mage and was currently in the middle of an intense battle with his opponent. However, with Ye Xiu's skill level, it didn't take him long to figure out the situation. Everything went as he expected. Not even a minute later, the Battle Mage was killed by the opponent and fell … …
"Too bad," Ye Xiu said.
The person on the mount suddenly turned his head and saw Ye Xiu behind him. He stared blankly, not saying anything for a long time.
Tao Xuan … ….
At this time, the person lying in the Excellent Era practice room playing Glory was the boss of Excellent Era, Tao Xuan. Normally, he was high and mighty. When he came to the practice room, it was as if he was inspecting the work done by the boss, Tao Xuan.
Ye Xiu took out his cigarette case and skillfully shook out a cigarette. He put it in his mouth and then shook it towards Tao Xuan: "Have you quit?"
Tao Xuan stared blankly for a moment before reaching out his hand: "Give me one!"
After lighting the cigarette, Tao Xuan immediately took a deep breath. It was as if he had suddenly found something to rely on.
"How are the sales going?" After smoking half a cigarette, Ye Xiu suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
"Not too good," Tao Xuan said, "The business is too big. There aren't many people who can handle it. Right now, we don't have the qualifications for the Pro League. The risk is too high. We talked to a few companies, but the price was too low. There was no way to negotiate. "
"So?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Split," Tao Xuan said.
"And then?" Ye Xiu asked.
"And then … …" Tao Xuan stared blankly, "There's no and then."
Yes, there was no and then … ….
If he sold Excellent Era, whether it was as a whole or as a whole, he would still be able to get back a large amount of cash. However, the timing of the sale was really bad. The seller had no choice but to sell. There was no situation more passive than this. After recognizing this point, any buyer could calmly drag him out until he could come up with a satisfactory price.
Tao Xuan had always pursued the greatest profit, but in the end, he could only helplessly watch as the original value was suppressed bit by bit. It was truly a great irony.
But no matter what, Tao Xuan would still be able to get a large amount of cash in the end. But after that? There was no after. There was no place for him in the Glory scene. The only thing that could accompany him was the money from selling Excellent Era.
And then … …
Tao Xuan thought about what would happen after that, but he couldn't think of anything. Having such a large amount of money on hand should have been a very happy thing for anyone, but he was at a loss. He felt as if he was stuck in a state where he was so poor that all he had left was money. He didn't know how to escape. Should he use these things to invest? Should he do some sort of business? Tao Xuan had thought about it before, but he was always in low spirits. It seemed more interesting to just lie on the computer and play a few rounds of Glory.
Glory. Of course, he had originally been a player. Otherwise, how could he have known Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu? But his skill was limited and he was old. He couldn't become a player on stage. In the end, he could only become a manager.
One charged on stage, the other planned in the business world.
Tao Xuan originally thought that they would be the best combination, but in the end, he found that they were gradually drifting apart.
Business was business. Step by step, he began to pursue the greatest benefits. That guy, on the other hand, only knew how to fight and kill on stage. He couldn't keep up with Tao Xuan's pace at all.
Gradually, Tao Xuan began to think, if it weren't for this guy dragging me down, what would Excellent Era be like now?
As Excellent Era didn't yield any results year after year, this thought began to take root in Tao Xuan's mind, growing strong and strong. The partner that had once been the best combination was now the biggest obstacle to Excellent Era's growth.
In the end, he still made a move to expel Ye Xiu. But now that he thought about it, was all of this really the result of his own pursuit of profit, or was it because of some other kind of jealousy? Tao Xuan couldn't say for sure. He only remembered that every time he thought, if it weren't for this guy dragging me down, he would often think, if he were the Battle God, if he were One Leaf Of Autumn, then the Excellent Era he led would definitely be even more prosperous and outstanding than it was now.
He was also incomparably fond of that kind of glory on stage, no? After all, he was once a Glory player too …..
But what was the point of thinking about this now?
Tao Xuan bitterly smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, the door to the practice room creaked. Someone pushed open the door and walked in.
Ye Xiu originally thought that it was Su Mucheng, but when he turned around, he saw Qiu Fei enter the practice room.
"Senior ….." Seeing Ye Xiu, Qiu Fei was also surprised.
"Long time no see." Ye Xiu smiled and greeted him.
But then he saw Qiu Fei frown at the two of them and say, "Smoking is not allowed in the practice room."
Smoking is not allowed in the practice room? The two of them were stunned. This was indeed the Club's rule, but at this time, who would want to abide by these rules?
One was the boss of the Club, the other was the former ace captain of the team. Just like that, they stubbed out their cigarettes, and then looked at Qiu Fei. He walked straight to his seat, sat down, turned on his computer, and started running the desktop training program.
Training?
Ye Xiu raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall of the practice room. It was nine in the morning. Yes, it was Team Excellent Era's morning training time. Usually, in the morning, they would use a special training program to train various skills. In the afternoon, they would do real training on the Glory platform. And right now, Qiu Fei was methodically carrying out his morning training. At a time when he didn't even know if Team Excellent Era would still exist.
Ye Xiu stared blankly for a long time. In the end, he smiled and got up to leave the practice room. As for Tao Xuan, he just stood there, watching Qiu Fei wholeheartedly train for a very long time.
Not long after leaving the training room and turning into the corridor, Ye Xiu saw a person flash before his eyes like a ghost. But then, he took three steps back and returned to the corner. He turned his head and carefully looked at Ye Xiu, who was walking forward.
"Old Ye? You're back? "the person suddenly asked.
"I'm just passing by." Ye Xiu laughed. "What are you doing?"
"All the departments have stopped working. I have to go too. Sigh, what a pity about the new plan I just discovered …" the person said mysteriously. All the departments had stopped working, and all the employees were dismissed. They were all facing unemployment. But at this time, this guy's first concern was that the new plan he just discovered couldn't be implemented.
"Alright, Rong Fei. Go to my place and continue researching!" Ye Xiu said.
"Your place?"
"Yeah, Team Happy." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, what are you researching?"
"A lot of things. For example, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Have you heard of it?" Ye Xiu said.
"The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella!" The person's eyes instantly lit up. He then asked: "When are you leaving?"
