Han Wenqing's reply surprised the reporter. These ten year old rivals never gave way to each other on the field, but their relationship off the field wasn't what the reporter had imagined.
Heroes sympathize with each other? The reporter didn't feel that strongly about it, but after Han Wenqing said that Ye Xiu's performance in the Challenger League was something to be proud of, the reporter thought about it and felt that it was true. Leading an army of people who had been gathered from who knows where and finally defeating the powerhouse Excellent Era and winning the Challenger League. Why wouldn't this kind of miraculous performance be something to be proud of?
If it was this kind of experience, perhaps, it would be completely reasonable to say that it was a wealth of experience?
The reporter thought about it and suddenly felt that Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing seemed to have a certain degree of resonance. Could it be because they were both realistic people?
Realistic?
When this word popped out, the reporter trembled. Han Wenqing was fine, but Ye Xiu was a realistic person? The reporter didn't want to think too much about it. He just didn't want to accept this.
The All-Star Weekend was Tyranny's home game, but on the last day of the All-Star Competition, Tyranny's two players didn't stand out too much. Zhang Xinjie, a Cleric, was sent to fight in the group arena, and Han Wenqing was the second to be eliminated in the team competition. Tyranny's fans in the stadium were a bit unhappy about this. The All-Star Weekend was a showcase. Normally, everyone would give face to the home team's players and let them perform more magnificently. Maybe they could get the MVP of the All-Star Competition or something like that. But this time, the MVP of the All-Star Competition was Wang Jiexi's. He had used the Magician's playstyle in the match, instantly defeating Tang Hao and Sun Xiang, two Gods in a row. This was without a doubt the highlight and climax of the match.
And his magnificent performance set off Tang Hao's loneliness. This year's All-Star Competition didn't seem to be a happy one, but the curtains had finally come to an end.
The various teams rested and went home. The media reported all kinds of beautiful scenes from these three days, but to the pro players, these three days weren't worth keeping any thoughts about because it had nothing to do with their true goal.
After everyone returned to their respective teams, they immediately began to prepare for the eighteenth round of the competition.
In the eighteenth round, there were many important matches between the strong.
Micrograss at home against Misty Rain, Blue Rain at home against Void, Tyranny at home against Hundred Blossoms, Samsara at home against Thunder, and Happy at home against Wind Howl.
This sort of matchup was a struggle for the broadcasters. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to broadcast Samsara's home game against Thunder.
Team Thunder's team had been the talk of the town this season, but what about Samsara? Their excessive strength caused everyone to numbly overlook the strength of their bodies. Team Samsara had won all 17 rounds, even better than Thunder.
Thunder's winning streak was unfortunately stopped by Happy more than once in the sixteenth round. However, people clearly didn't lose faith in Thunder because of this. When this team, which relied on precise tactics, met Samsara's All-Star quartet, what kind of battle would it be? This match was set to be broadcasted on television, so it would clearly attract enough eyeballs.
The players were actively preparing for battle, the television station chose to broadcast the match, and the managers of the various teams were gathering the opinions of their teams, weighing whether or not they should make any changes in the winter transfer window. As for the Alliance? After the All-Star Weekend, they released a new ranking: the Armament Chart.
Whether it was in the game or in the pro scene, of all the equipment on a character, the most eye-catching equipment was, of course, the weapon. And now, the Alliance had listed the weapons of all the characters in the pro scene, and the players would vote to create this so-called Armament Chart.
Some insiders could see that this was probably a survey before the release of peripheral products, but in any case, the enthusiasm of the players seemed to be quite high. As soon as the ranking was released, the votes kept changing. The Alliance immediately added a rule that the Armament Chart would change every month, and at the end of the year, the ranking would be tabulated.
After a few days, the Armament Chart showed some clues. The number one weapon was Happy Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
The silver words showed that this was also a self-made weapon, but the Level 70 weapon was extremely eye-catching on the ranking list. It had already been a year since the Glory update, and weapons had always been the most important part of equipment research. Nowadays, there were very few Silver weapons that hadn't reached Level 70, let alone the number one weapon in the Armament Chart.
But there was nothing to be done. The novelty of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was too eye-catching. In the All-Star voting, Ye Xiu couldn't compare to Zhou Zekai, but in the Armament Chart, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella left Cloud Piercer's Wildfire and Shattered Frost in the dust.
This result made many people very annoyed.
Just as the insiders said, this ranking list could be used as a survey of the players' interest in peripheral products, but right now, the popularity of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was far above the other weapons, which made the makers of the peripheral products very annoyed.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella wasn't as simple as just making an umbrella. This toy's biggest feature was its ability to change. If it didn't change, how could this weapon be so popular?
But for this sort of weapon that could change, dismantle, and reassemble, it could do things that defied scientific logic in the game, but to make it into a real peripheral and completely replicate its transformations, how detailed would the design be? How complicated would the production line be? How long would the production time be? And finally, how high would the production cost be?
The high production cost meant the high selling price. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella would definitely have a price that would completely outsell the other peripheral products. It was so demonic that even the professionals who understood the peripheral products felt that it was too crazy.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella couldn't be completely replicated, but if it wasn't completely replicated, the sales would definitely be affected. It was truly regrettable.
Why was this Ye Xiu so annoying? In the past, Excellent Era hadn't been able to get too many commercial sponsorships from him. Now that they had finally managed to make a popular weapon, it turned out that it couldn't be replicated. This person, was he purposely making things difficult for their business operations? Those in the industry who knew of Ye Xiu's past deeply complained. But no matter what, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was too popular. Even if they could make two or three forms, it was still worth trying. As a result, Happy was the first to contact and discuss the operations of the peripheral products of the weapon.
Happy was fully in charge of these matters by Chen Guo. After half a year of familiarizing herself with the operations of the team, she had already made sure that Ye Xiu only focused on the competition and didn't need to worry too much. Apart from the cooperation in these areas, the opening of the winter transfer window would also cause many things to happen to the team.
Happy's strategy for this transfer window was very simple. Don't buy, don't sell. It was the same as not participating. But if they didn't buy, they could avoid trouble. If they didn't sell, they couldn't stop other teams from asking for a price.
With Happy's achievements, the value of the players in the team naturally increased as well. In addition, they were just a grassroots team that had just entered the Alliance. After half a year of contact, everyone knew that Happy's financial resources weren't that great. Their conditions were rather difficult. As a result, in many people's eyes, Happy was like a poor child hugging a gold bar. They couldn't steal it, but if they casually spent some money, they could at least get a little bit of it, right?
Qiao Yifan, Bao Zi, Mo Fan, and even Ye Xiu, there were people who dared to have ideas about them. But in the end, they all ran back. Chen Guo didn't show any signs of letting go. No one could see that there was any hope of a negotiation.
Soon, on the 10th of January, the eighteenth round of the competition approached. Ten days had passed since the start of the transfer window. A few teams had completed some trades, but the winter transfer window had always been a small operation. It was extremely rare to see a core player like Sun Xiang, who had been recruited by Excellent Era in the eighth season.
This season, some teams had stable results, while others had a lot of twists and turns. But there didn't seem to be any teams that had conflicts with their core players that needed to be resolved during the winter transfer window. The teams that had more trade rumors were Misty Rain and Wind Howl. Misty Rain's new playstyle this season hadn't opened up any opportunities for them. They currently had 86 points and were in tenth place on the rankings. This was their worst result in recent years. After half a season without any results, everyone guessed that Misty Rain would have to make some adjustments.
As for Wind Howl, they currently had 112 points and were in sixth place. It seemed okay, but it was far from what they had expected. They were a team that aimed to win the championship, but this season, they hadn't been able to win against strong teams, which made them question themselves.
With Fang Rui's departure, the current second-in-command was the free transfer Liu Hao. This somewhat disrupted Wind Howl's original core structure. They had persisted with the Brawler and Thief combination for many years. When Fang Rui left, they didn't give up on the Thief. In the end, they even spent money to lure the Thief player Lin Feng from Blue Rain and gave him the All Star level Thief account Doubtful Demon.
In the end, Liu Hao's Spellblade rose to the top and even snatched a spot in the All Stars. His presence in the team could be seen. And Lin Feng? He had an All Star account in his hands, but in the end, he was far from the leaderboards. Thinking back to when Zou Yuan was able to get him and Dazzling Hundred Blossoms into the All Stars just by relying on the fans' attachment to the account, one could see that Lin Feng's performance wasn't outstanding. Although Doubtful Demon's position was still quite a bit lower than Dazzling Hundred Blossoms'.
Would Wind Howl make any adjustments? Everyone was guessing. There were even fans who called for Fang Rui to return. But this idea could only be the wishful thinking of a die-hard fan. Fang Rui had gone to Happy, even paying the price of changing classes. Right now, he was showing results. Happy was still trampling Wind Howl on the leaderboards. Now, they hoped that he would return to Wind Howl to put out the fire and switch back to being a Thief? All they could hope for was that Fang Rui had an unswerving love for Wind Howl …
Would something like this happen?
There really was a reporter who managed to interview Fang Rui online.
"I'll go back," Fang Rui replied.
The reporter was stunned, then ecstatic. This was too explosive. Fang Rui was actually willing to return to Wind Howl?
"January 10th. I'll go back." Fang Rui even added a specific time.
But when the reporter saw this, he immediately understood. Fang Rui would come back, but as an enemy. It was just that …
"Great Fang Rui, January 10th is Happy's home game!" the reporter reminded.
"Really? F * ck me, what a waste of my beautiful lines! I played All Stars for a week and counted wrong! "Fang Rui yelled.
