Chen Guo said that she wanted to reprimand Chang Xian, but it was just for show. No matter what, Chang Xian had good intentions. Even though it was depressing to do something bad with good intentions, Chen Guo and the others just made a wasted trip and didn't get the sponsorship. They didn't suffer any losses, so how could that be considered a bad thing?
Therefore, Chen Guo expressed her gratitude over the phone, then briefly explained the reason why they couldn't get the sponsorship. She then asked Chang Xian if he had anything else to recommend.
Cao Guangcheng, who was listening on the phone, knew that Happy had made a wasted trip and was secretly delighted. He had been a reporter for Excellent Era for many years, so he knew exactly what kind of person Xia Zhongtian was and what kind of person Xia Zhongtian was. He already knew that Happy wouldn't have a good ending if he went to look for Qiang Tea Green. Now that he heard the phone call, it seemed like Xia Zhongtian had invited them over. This made Cao Guangcheng quite surprised. He originally thought that it would be good enough if Happy was rejected. He didn't expect Xia Zhongtian to call them over. Was he trying to humiliate Happy?
Cao Guangcheng was very regretful that he couldn't see it for himself. He could only imagine how Ye Xiu and Chen Guo were treated coldly, but they also gave Xia Zhongtian a good beating.
Chang Xian, who was on the phone, wasn't an idiot either. He didn't know about the situation with Qiang Tea Green, but Cao Guangcheng had been with Excellent Era for so many years, so how could he not know about this? Thus, Cao Guangcheng's disgusting thoughts were completely exposed to Chang Xianzhi. But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't say anything about it. But this time, he wouldn't ask this senior for advice. After promising Chen Guo, he prepared to personally look up the information for Happy.
After this incident, Chang Xian realized that it wouldn't be easy for Happy to directly take over Excellent Era's sponsorship. However, Chang Xian was also a rather quick-witted young man. If it was inconvenient for the sponsors of Excellent Era to sponsor Happy because Happy defeated the competitors of Excellent Era, then what about the competitors of these sponsors? If they came to sponsor Happy, wouldn't it be a natural thing to do?
Competition was everywhere, even in the business world. Chang Xian changed his train of thought and immediately started looking for Excellent Era's competitors. However, this was beyond the circle that Chang Xian could grasp. Things were not at his fingertips, so it was inevitable that he would be a little slower. However, before the results were out, Happy finally received a call from a sponsor expressing their interest for the first time.
And the origin of this call proved that Chang Xian's train of thought was correct.
Feike.
This was a famous computer peripheral brand. They were especially famous for their keyboards and mice, and these two were without a doubt the sharpest weapons in the hands of esports players. The Glory Alliance was thriving, so it would be strange if a brand like Feike didn't sponsor it. In reality, Feike already had a sponsored team in the Pro Alliance.
Tyranny!
The team that Feike was sponsoring was Team Tyranny, the team that was most likely to win the championship this season. Feike and Excellent Era's external sponsor, Speed Serpent, were rivals in the business world. Speed Serpent chose Excellent Era, while Feike chose Tyranny. The two sponsored teams were also rivals. And now, Feike once again chose to sponsor Happy. It was obvious what they were thinking about.
Feike's headquarters wasn't in City H. After contacting Happy over the phone, Feike held two online video conferences with him. Although Happy was currently receiving a lot of attention, in terms of fame and influence, he was still far from Tyranny's. And the sponsorship contract that Feike gave Happy showed their cautiousness. The contract was only for one year, 1.5 million, and they also had the priority of sponsoring similar companies.
The one year time limit showed that Feike wanted to wait and see if Happy could survive in the Pro Alliance. And the priority of sponsoring showed that they were quite optimistic. 1.5 million wasn't a lot in the Pro Alliance, but for a team that had just entered the Pro Alliance, it wasn't too harsh. This was already thanks to Happy being able to defeat Excellent Era. Otherwise, it would be normal for a team that had just returned to the Pro Alliance to be ignored.
After going back and forth a few more times, the sponsorship was finally raised to 1.8 million. The other conditions didn't change, so both sides were satisfied with this result. After that, it was time to officially sign the contract. Although the contract was small, with the attention that Happy was receiving, Feike wanted to hold a press conference to announce the signing of the contract. However, it was currently the playoffs, so the Glory circle's focus was on the matches. As a result, this sort of publicity was pushed back for now.
And after signing the contract with Feike, Happy's doors to business seemed to have completely opened. There were more and more inquiries and phone calls. Chang Xian had compiled a list of sponsors that were quite interesting, but Chen Guo didn't have the time to take the initiative. Just those that came knocking on her door were already more than she could handle. Some of them were genuine, but there were also some who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Besides, some wanted to bully Happy, some directly lied to them, and some just wanted to join in on the fun. Chen Guo finally found the feeling of managing a team. Before, she had been a bit too bored as a boss.
At the same time, the second round of the playoffs had reached the semifinals. Tyranny versus Micrograss, Samsara versus Wind Howl.
The first match was Team Micrograss versus Team Tyranny.
Micrograss's roster this season had undergone a lot of changes compared to last year. After the All Star level Grappler character Flying Drops was sold to Samsara, Micrograss no longer had a Grappler position. The original player, Li Yihui, also left the team in the summer. Xu Bin, nicknamed the Grind King, took over Deng Fusheng's Knight Angelica after his retirement. Relying on his outstanding performance, he was successfully selected into this season's All Star roster. The genius Gao Yingjie also officially entered the stage this season, forming a dual Magic Path team with captain Wang Jiexi. Then there was the hand speed expert Liu Xiaobie. After constant changes, he was already a very reliable player. This season, he was only one step away from the All Star roster. Micrograss almost had four All Stars.
As for Tyranny, it wasn't just a matter of having four All Stars. These were four top pro Gods. The only one who was slightly embarrassed was Lin Jingyan. The other three could all be said to be the best of the best in their class.
With this kind of lineup, Tyranny's other position piqued everyone's curiosity.
This was because the team competition always required five people to fight. Then, who was the fifth person standing beside these four masters?
During the summer transfer, because of the successive big names and changes to the roster, many players and characters left Tyranny. Ever since then, people had been waiting to see who would stand beside the four great gods. In the end, the person who appeared was someone that everyone felt was unfamiliar with.
Qin Muyun.
Before this season, no one had heard of this name. In the end, this unknown player became the final piece of the puzzle for Tyranny's starting lineup.
Qin Muyun came from Tyranny's training camp. Before this season, he had never been famous. When he became a member of Tyranny's main team, he was already 21 years old.
This age of his debut could be said to be a bit late. Compared to Lu Hanwen, who was still underage, he should have been a veteran. But now, he was actually a rookie.
Qin Muyun's character was a Sharpshooter. In this position, Tyranny originally had Wang Chixuan. He wasn't considered a God, but he was still a very good player. But Tyranny had promoted this Qin Muyun from the training camp, and Wang Chixuan had left during the summer transfer.
What kind of ability did this Qin Muyun have? He was able to squeeze out Wang Chixuan, who had experience, ability, and was familiar with the team, and become the main player next to these four Gods?
Everyone was full of expectations for Qin Muyun, but very quickly, everyone was disappointed.
Qin Muyun didn't have any outstanding performances on the field. After every match, his technical statistics looked very ordinary. He was really a very ordinary player.
So very quickly, no one paid attention to him anymore. A rookie? This season was even more interesting. Team Blue Rain's 14-year-old Lu Hanwen. What a lively kid.
So today, if you asked who Qin Muyun was, most players would probably shake their heads.
This was the attitude of the media and the public.
But the pro teams wouldn't. They wouldn't underestimate any opponent, especially in the playoffs. Especially when the opponent was Tyranny's main player.
Qin Muyun's technical statistics were very ordinary, but don't forget who stood next to him.
Aside from Zhang Xinjie, the Cleric. Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale, Lin Jingyan. They weren't just ordinary All-Stars. In their former teams, they were all core attackers. Next to these kinds of people, what kind of stats could you expect a rookie who had just entered the Alliance to put up?
The media and players didn't pay attention to Qin Mubai, but Micrograss didn't. Especially now that it was the playoffs, a single mistake could cause them to come back next year.
As for Qin Mubai, Tiny Herb gave him the same amount of attention and research as those four Gods.
They often analyzed the data of the entire season. The first sentence in the report on Qin Mubai was: This player's technical statistics are very ordinary, but he didn't meet the Rookie's Wall.
Yes, he didn't meet the Rookie's Wall.
For a full nine seasons, only two rookies had not met the Rookie's Wall: Wang Jiexi and Sun Xiang.
And now, a third had appeared. But compared to the other two, he only had very ordinary technical statistics. Could it be that he didn't meet the Rookie's Wall because of some objective reasons? For example, Tyranny's lineup. The four Gods were enough to attract too much firepower and attention.
Micrograss couldn't deny this possibility. In fact, they also hoped that it was because of this reason. Otherwise, if Qin Muyun had some hidden skill, it could very well become the biggest variable in the competition.
The unknown was always the scariest.
