In terms of position, Guan Rongfei was just a normal technician in Excellent Era's R&D department. But in terms of importance, he was the true core of the R&D department. His passion for researching Silver equipment didn't lose out to the pro players' pursuit of victory. When he heard about the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, he couldn't wait any longer. Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he explained, "Wait a moment!"
As he said this, he saw Su Mucheng come out of the room, carrying a large suitcase. She had come back this time to pack up her own things.
"Rongfei is coming with us," Ye Xiu said to her.
"Really?" Su Mucheng looked at Guan Rongfei with a smile, "Then you're in luck. There's a lot for you to do over there."
"Can we go now?" Seeing Guan Rongfei's impatient expression, if Excellent Era's players saw him, they would probably die of disappointment. After all, he had worked in Excellent Era for so many years. This guy really didn't have any feelings. Right now, Excellent Era was about to disperse, but from the looks of it, before they dispersed, someone would probably run over to him and say: "Hey, I'm researching the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Are you leaving?" This guy would probably immediately turn around and leave!
Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had been discovered by Excellent Era's R&D department a long time ago and reported to the club. Excellent Era's R&D department had done some research on it, and that was when Guan Rongfei came into contact with this genius creation. However, because this weapon was limited to unspecialized characters, it didn't have much value to Excellent Era, so they didn't research it too deeply. However, this didn't stop Guan Rongfei from spending his free time researching how this weapon was made.
"You're just going to leave like this? Don't you have anything to bring? "Ye Xiu looked at Guan Rongfei, a bit speechless.
"Oh right!" Guan Rongfei slapped his forehead and ran off.
In the end, it didn't take long for this guy to run back. His hands were empty, and he didn't seem to have packed anything. However, he said with a relieved expression, "This is good."
"You … what did you pack?" Su Mucheng asked.
"I almost forgot about my research on the Thousand Chance Umbrella." Guan Rongfei took out a portable hard drive from his pocket and waved it in front of them. He then put it back into his pocket and looked at them expectantly. His expression was clearly asking, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Go, go, go." Ye Xiu called out as he took the suitcase from Su Mucheng. As the three of them left, they bumped into Tao Xuan, who had just come out of the training room.
Seeing Guan Rongfei walking with the two of them, Tao Xuan more or less understood what was going on. However, he didn't say anything and only nodded in their direction as a greeting. Guan Rongfei, on the other hand, didn't even glance at the boss who had paid him a few years' worth of wages. He walked past with his head down.
"Dancing Rain, name a price!" Ye Xiu said to Tao Xuan.
Tao Xuan stared blankly. He couldn't help but think of the promise he had made to Ye Xiu when Happy had gone to find Happy. At the time, he had thought that Ye Xiu would mention One Leaf Of Autumn, but he hadn't expected it to be Dancing Rain.
"450,000!" Tao Xuan said.
Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng glanced at each other.
This price obviously wasn't Dancing Rain's true value. As the Number One Launcher in Glory, Dancing Rain was the real deal. It wouldn't be strange for her to be priced at 10 million.
450,000! If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that they had misheard, but Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng knew where this number came from. 450,000 was the price that Tao Xuan had paid to buy this character for Excellent Era.
In the early days of a team, all of the characters were brought in by the players themselves. They were all characters that the experts had polished themselves in the game. And the managers of the Clubs had already realized that powerful characters were one of the most important assets of the Clubs, so at that time, they actively took the ownership of the characters from the players to the Clubs. Thus, there was the current model: the ownership of the characters belonged to the Clubs. It was rare for the characters to belong to the players themselves. And after the initial stage, the Clubs' advantage in resources was put to use. When players joined, the Clubs would directly provide characters. These characters were usually stronger than the characters that the players used in the game.
Su Mucheng had joined the Alliance in Season 4. At that time, there were already very few players who had their own powerful characters. But sometimes, for special reasons, the Clubs would let the players continue using their own characters. Because the characters that the players brought weren't too strong, the Clubs wouldn't pay too high a price for them. They would just treat it as giving the players a signing fee.
It was under these circumstances that Dancing Rain was accepted into Excellent Era. 450,000 wasn't a price that could be sold for just any random character in the game. At that time, Ye Xiu had also spent some effort on this character. However, for a nameless character, this was the best price he could get.
The Dancing Rain of that time couldn't be compared to the Dancing Rain of today.
The Dancing Rain of today, apart from luxurious equipment, had many years of improvement, and had the reputation of being the Best Launcher. For this type of character, joining the team wasn't just an increase in strength, but also an increase in influence.
For example, in the summer of last season, Team Samsara had bought Micrograss's Grappler character, Flying Drenched, and then dismantled it for equipment. This kind of situation was extremely rare. In the end, it was because Flying Drenched's influence wasn't big enough. He wasn't like Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, who could send his character into the All-Stars just because of the fans' nostalgia for his character.
Flying Drenched didn't have that kind of influence, so they dismantled it. If it were a God-level character, let alone the fans' protests, even Samsara wouldn't be willing to part with it.
In the past, Dancing Rain was only worth 450,000. After so many years, even if Dancing Rain's character hadn't improved at all, with her current fame, the price of this character wouldn't stop at this.
Now that Tao Xuan had offered a price of 450,000, there was no doubt that this was a friendly offer.
"Okay, let's do it this way!" Ye Xiu nodded his head and didn't say anything else.
He could feel that everything had come to an end here. This 450,000 deal was probably the last time the two sides had any feelings for each other. From now on, they would go their separate ways. Whether or not they would meet again, who knew, but the past would never happen again.
"Good luck." Tao Xuan extended his right hand towards Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu looked at it, and in the end, still reached out his hand to shake it.
"That goes without saying." After saying this, he turned and left.
Guan Rongfei gave them all sorts of urging looks the whole way, forcing Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng to pick up their pace. When they reached the bottom floor of the training center, they saw two people walking in from the main entrance.
"Miss Su Mucheng … Ye Qiu … Oh, no, it should be God Ye Xiu." The person on the left saw the three of them and stopped walking. He actually greeted them, and then looked at Guan Rongfei. He didn't recognize him, so he didn't say anything.
Ye Xiu looked at Su Mucheng, somewhat at a loss. Even though he was also a God, he had kept a low profile for so many years, so he wasn't familiar with this kind of situation where others recognized him, but he didn't recognize them. On the other hand, Su Mucheng smiled and nodded at the person, greeting him.
That person didn't introduce himself. He just continued to chat with Su Mucheng. "I heard you're joining Team Happy?"
"Yes."
"That's a pity. I really hope we'll have a chance to work together," that person said.
Su Mucheng just smiled.
"Then … please help yourselves. We'll be leaving first." That person didn't have any intention of chatting any longer. After saying goodbye, he left.
"Tiny Herb's people. Now that they're here, they probably have some sort of intention to buy … …" Su Mucheng didn't wait for Ye Xiu to ask and explained. Ye Xiu had kept a low profile before, so the only people he was familiar with in the industry were the players. He rarely interacted with other people. He had never met this person before.
"Oh …" Hearing Su Mucheng say this, Ye Xiu nodded.
"It should be … related to Qiu Fei's transfer?" Su Mucheng guessed. Micrograss had always been honest about their intentions towards Qiu Fei. They had already expressed their interest in him during the Challenger League. Clearly, regardless of whether Excellent Era was eliminated or not, Qiu Fei was their main transfer target. But now that Excellent Era was in such a situation, Micrograss would probably feel more confident about this deal!
Ye Xiu thought of the figure who was still training. He really had the drive to not give up even if the world was destroyed. Micrograss … would he go?
Just as he was thinking this, the door to the training center was suddenly pushed open. Another person walked in. Not only did this person recognize Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, but he also recognized Guan Rongfei. In the past year, it was this person who had been Excellent Era's vice-captain. He looked towards the future and gave Excellent Era, who had been relegated, a timely help. But before the charcoal could burn too much, he and Excellent Era were about to freeze to death. Xiao Shiqin's figure looked just like this. It hadn't even been a month since the end of the Challenger League, but this guy looked like he had lost a lot of weight.
The two sides bumped into each other at the door, speechless for a long time until Guan Rongfei showed no mercy and showed an impatient expression.
"You still haven't left?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Yeah." Xiao Shiqin nodded.
"What are you planning to do?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I don't know." Xiao Shiqin shook his head. He had sacrificed a year and made a resolute decision, but the result was a complete failure. The loss in the Challenger League was quite a blow to Xiao Shiqin.
"Why don't you just join us Happy?" Ye Xiu asked. Xiao Shiqin's contract was only for one year. In other words, he was like Su Mucheng. His contract expired at the end of June and he was a free transfer player. Happy didn't have to bear the transfer fee. Such a player, Happy was willing to make a move.
"Happy?" Xiao Shiqin paused, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Damn, what can I do with Happy? Happy doesn't need me. "
Ye Xiu was stunned. Xiao Shiqin was good at tactics, but Happy already had Ye Xiu in charge. The loss in the Challenger League was, in fact, a loss in tactics between Xiao Shiqin and Ye Xiu. This loss made him lose his confidence in front of Ye Xiu. He clearly didn't think he could be of any value to Happy.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Xiao Shiqin didn't look like he wanted to talk to Ye Xiu. After saying goodbye, he left in a hurry.
"What a pity." Ye Xiu looked regretfully at Xiao Shiqin's back.
"Are we leaving or not?!" Guan Rongfei was anxious again.
"Let's go, let's go." Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He led this guy out of Excellent Era. Walking out of Excellent Era's door, Ye Xiu couldn't help but look back.
This place... he might never come back.
