Fang Rui probably didn't expect that before he could even warm his seat at Happy, Happy's players of all ages would take turns fighting him.
In the beginning, Fang Rui had been beaten black and blue. He couldn't change his playing habits and awareness in an instant, causing his Qi Master to make all sorts of mistakes and lose miserably.
But as time passed and he gradually adapted, Fang Rui's win rate began to increase. He wasn't as miserable as he had been at the beginning when he faced the rookies.
"As expected of a guy with a wealth of experience changing classes!" In this round, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim lost to Fang Rui's Qi Master Hai Wuliang. Ye Xiu stood up and sighed.
"Experience changing classes my ass!" Fang Rui insisted that his previous class change wasn't changing classes, it was just a choice.
After defeating Ye Xiu, Fang Rui felt like he had achieved great success. He stretched lazily and casually glanced at the time. Suddenly, he jumped in fright.
Three hours. Three hours had already passed.
Fang Rui had completely forgotten about the time. He was completely immersed in Glory. All he thought about was how to play his Qi Master well and how to defeat Happy and the others. And in these three hours, Happy's players had changed, while he hadn't rested at all.
Fang Rui's ability to adapt to the Qi Master, as well as his energy and focus, were all worthy of praise. After Ye Xiu stood up, no one continued to sit down. Fang Rui looked around. It seemed like no one else was coming, so he gave his evaluation of the round that had just ended.
"Your mistake was too serious." Fang Rui said to Ye Xiu.
"Yeah. Seeing you work so hard, I couldn't bear to see you lose, so I went easy on you." Ye Xiu said.
"F * ck, if you don't like it, let's do it again!" Fang Rui yelled. It's not very considerate of you to go easy on me. At the very least, you should disguise yourself properly! Not only did he casually reveal a flaw, he even said it out loud. Did he really think that a master of wretchedness had no dignity?
"Come again if you're not convinced. Eat before you come again!" Ye Xiu said.
Fang Rui was startled again. Only then did he realize that he was indeed a little hungry. It was time for dinner.
Chen Guo had already made arrangements for dinner. She had booked a private room at a nearby restaurant. Happy pulled the whole team over. It could be considered as a welcome party for Fang Rui.
At the banquet, Fang Rui was a man of few words, and his appetite seemed to be average. After he was full, he held a straw in his mouth and played with his drink.
"You play the Qi Master quite well. You have a lot of potential!" Ye Xiu gave him high praise.
Fang Rui rolled his eyes and did not answer. In fact, Fang Rui knew better than anyone whether or not he could play Qi Master. He wasn't a noob, and he had come into contact with the Qi Master class before. He knew very well whether or not he could master it. He didn't immediately refuse Ye Xiu because he knew that this was a possibility. Moreover, he knew that Ye Xiu could completely see through it. He definitely wouldn't drag him over to try it out and see how it went.
This afternoon's battle was said to be a test to see if Fang Rui could change classes to Qi Master, but in reality, it was to let Fang Rui see Happy's battle strength.
Happy's battle strength exceeded Fang Rui's expectations. The rookies all had their own styles, and just as Ye Xiu said, they all had a lot of room for growth. When they fully matured, what kind of battle strength would this team have?
Moreover, this afternoon, he didn't just see Happy's players. He also saw Happy's characters. Dancing Rain and Hai Wuliang, these two All-Star characters, didn't need to be said. They wouldn't be weak in any team. As for Happy's other characters, they all had Silver equipment. Their equipment couldn't compare to that of the powerhouses, but for a new team to reach this level, it was already quite luxurious.
"How is it? After the field trip, how do you feel about Happy?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Mm … not bad," Fang Rui said. He didn't expect Happy to be at the powerhouse level, but from what he saw, whether it was the players or the characters, they all exceeded his expectations.
"Okay, then let's talk about your salary. As you can see, our conditions are still very simple. A bunch of people are squeezed into an Internet cafe to train, and there are only eight dishes for ten people to eat, not even soup. How much is your current contract? 6.5 million, I think? Is that before and after taxes? "Ye Xiu asked.
"Before taxes," Fang Rui said.
"That's so much before taxes, aren't you embarrassed?" Ye Xiu said.
Fang Rui was speechless. What's there to be embarrassed about? Didn't you just want to suppress the contract? Just say so. But the problem is, I haven't clearly accepted Happy yet, right? Why are we talking about the contract already? Also, what do you mean by eight dishes and not even soup? That's because the dishes haven't been served yet, right?
As they spoke, the door to the private room opened. A waiter came in with a tray and placed two more dishes on the table.
"You really came at a bad time …" Ye Xiu complained. Everyone at the table was silent. Using this as an excuse, do you think Fang Rui doesn't know how to count? He was there the whole time when we were ordering!
But no matter what, Happy's contract was, and he hoped that Fang Rui would make some concessions. At the very least, Ye Xiu clearly conveyed his intentions to Fang Rui.
"If you have any thoughts, then just say it! Don't be so wretched, "Ye Xiu said when he saw Fang Rui not speaking for a long time and fiddling with his drink.
"F * ck!" Fang Rui was depressed. He was just sipping his drink. How was that wretched? Speaking of thoughts, what could he possibly have? Happy was not bad, not bad beyond his expectations, but deep down, he still felt uneasy. He was still afraid of such a change. This fear caused him to hesitate. Even though he had seen something beyond his expectations in Happy, he still couldn't completely eliminate it.
"I don't know …"
He didn't know. He just didn't know. If he knew, Fang Rui would have thought of a way to eliminate the uncertainty in his heart. Happy was clearly better than he had imagined. He had already started to have expectations for Happy, but why did he still feel uneasy? Which part of Happy made him feel uneasy? Was it because of the simple conditions? Fang Rui didn't care about this. A contract that required him to make concessions? Fang Rui wasn't someone who cared too much about money? Or was it because this team was new to the Alliance? To be honest, Fang Rui quite liked this identity. It gave him more surprises.
After thinking about it, Fang Rui was at a loss. He didn't know what he was worried about, but he just felt uneasy.
The room was quiet. No one touched the new dishes. The atmosphere was a bit cold. Fang Rui had nothing to say, so he casually asked a very ordinary question: "How did you guys get together?"
"Us?" Ye Xiu was startled. He followed the circle, one by one, and gave Fang Rui a brief introduction.
Fang Rui didn't want the atmosphere to be so cold, so he casually found a topic to talk about. To be honest, he didn't really care about this. But as he listened absent-mindedly, Fang Rui suddenly realized why he felt a bit uneasy about Happy. After Ye Xiu finished his introduction, Fang Rui jumped up and asked a question he was very concerned about: "How many more years do you plan on playing?"
"Me?" Ye Xiu was puzzled.
"Yes, you!" Fang Rui said.
"I hope I can play forever!" Ye Xiu said.
"But we know that's impossible. Especially when you play as an unspecialized. It consumes a lot of energy and will definitely reduce your professional lifespan. To me, it's already a miracle that you can maintain this condition. But, how many more years can you maintain it? One year? Two years? "Fang Rui said.
"This … who can say?" Ye Xiu said.
"Then, after you retire, what will happen to Team Happy?" Fang Rui asked. This was what he felt uneasy about, what he felt uneasy about.
Every team had its own purpose for being established. This purpose would ultimately become the most fundamental force that brought the team together. In the current Alliance, the foundation of every team's existence was, without a doubt, profit. The owners of all the teams continuously developed and maintained their teams for the sake of profit. But, what about Happy's team?
This team was built from scratch by Ye Xiu after he retired. It didn't have any strong financial support. The so-called owner was just the owner of an Internet cafe with limited strength. Fang Rui could even feel that this so-called owner's words in Happy's team weren't even as important as Ye Xiu's.
Then, what was Ye Xiu's purpose for building this team?
It could be anything, but Fang Rui believed that he definitely wasn't doing it for profit.
Relying on profit to maintain a team didn't feel very comfortable, but unfortunately, in this world, only profit was eternal. Apart from this, a player's love for Glory and pursuit of the championship would eventually disappear as time passed. In the end, they would be unable to continue.
Ye Xiu was, without a doubt, the reason why Happy's team was able to stay together. Fang Rui didn't doubt Ye Xiu's persistence and love for Glory. But even if he had this kind of heart, Ye Xiu would still leave one day, and that day might come very soon. When that time came, what would happen to Happy's team? Would they still be as cohesive as they were now? When that day came, just by relying on Happy's Internet cafe owner's financial resources, she didn't dare say that she could keep Happy's many outstanding players. The more outstanding Happy was, the more difficult the situation would be when that day came.
Speaking of which, right now, Happy's rookies were already very outstanding. The fact that they hadn't been poached already made Fang Rui feel very strange. Relying on financial resources, Fang Rui believed that Happy wouldn't be able to compete with the other teams. Just relying on Ye Xiu's existence? Was this guy's charisma that great?
Fang Rui muttered to himself. But no matter how great Happy's charisma was, if this team really relied on Ye Xiu to build, then that made him feel even more uneasy. In this situation, Happy's future was hard to predict. If Fang Rui came, he would be changing classes. This was a very big gamble. He didn't want to win a team that would fall apart after Ye Xiu left.
"Team Happy when I'm not here? You'll have to ask our boss! "Ye Xiu said at this moment.
