That night, the substitutes for Micrograss Club didn't sleep well.
They didn't gather together to look for trouble with Lord Grim's group. Even though almost everyone used the excuse of "low level characters not having enough skills, not adapting", they all knew that this wasn't the case. They were pro players. If they couldn't adapt, would they be wiped out by a team of in-game players? If that was the case, then pro players were too worthless.
The next day, Micrograss Club's main roster and substitutes met in the practice room and greeted each other.
As pro players, they had to participate in standard class training every day. Even though there was no lack of players who were lazy and didn't like to train, Micrograss didn't have such members. Captain Wang Jiexi's big and small eyes stared. Half of the team didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Wow, you didn't sleep?" Qiao Yifan jumped in fright when he saw his good friend Gao Yingjie. Gao Yingjie had dark circles under his eyes, like a giant panda's.
"Ah … …" Gao Yingjie only gave a vague reply and didn't say anything else.
Qiao Yifan looked again. Xiao Yun, Zhou Yebai, Liu Fei. Which one of them looked good? Not good. These guys' mental fortitude was at least a bit better than Gao Yingjie's. They didn't have dark circles under their eyes.
As for Qiao Yifan? He didn't feel any pressure. In any case, no one expected anything from him.
At nine o 'clock sharp, Wang Jiexi appeared in the practice room. Micrograss's formal training was split into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Things like coaches didn't exist in the current Glory. After all, Glory had only been a game for ten years. The pro scene had only been around for seven years. Everyone was still in the fumbling stage. In the entire pro scene, Gods like Wang Jiexi were already at the highest level, whether it was in theory or in skill. As a result, there weren't many people who had the skill to guide them.
As a result, for a Club like Micrograss, they didn't have a coaching team, but rather a consulting team. Their job was very complicated: collecting information on the opponent, researching the opponent's tactics, providing some tactical options, researching possible new strategies for the map, etc. These were all part of their job scope. But in the end, the ones who had the right to choose were the team captains.
Frankly speaking, the biggest value of these people was saving the pro players' energy. In the early days of the Pro Alliance, this was the job of the pro players themselves. Now that the Clubs were developing and had financial resources, they had the capital to increase the cost of manpower. This allowed the pro players to focus more on practicing and competing.
In the current Alliance, only Zhang Yiwei and Li Bo could truly be called coaches. Both of them were early Glory players. After a few twists and turns, they were now coaches in small Clubs.
Of these two teams, Club Mysterious Fantasy had just joined the Alliance last year. They were a bunch of rookies with varying skill levels and lacking experience. The boss didn't have much money and didn't have much ambition. In the end, he just casually asked Zhang Yiwei to help the team. Who would have thought that the results would be so good? In the end, they were ranked 17th. For a team that had just entered the Alliance, it was already not bad that they didn't fall into the last two places and get eliminated. There were some teams that had just entered the Alliance and spent a lot of money to poach players in an attempt to rely on pro players to quickly become the backbone of the team. However, the results were bleak. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened. From the looks of it, coaching was a rather cost-effective transition method. At the very least, the investment was low and the risk was low.
As a result, this year, the newly joined Club Bright Green copied Mysterious Fantasy and invited Li Bo. But up until now, the two Clubs were completely in the same boat. Last year, Mysterious Fantasy, who had been ranked 16th, had fallen to 20th this year. Even though Bright Green was ranked 18th, the team they were above was Excellent Era. In theory, it was impossible for them to fall to 19th place, which was an exaggeration like Excellent Era. On the other hand, they were only ahead of Excellent Era by 3 points. No one believed that they could suppress Excellent Era and kick Excellent Era out of the Alliance.
Coaches were far from being a decisive factor in the Glory competitive scene. This was something that everyone in the Glory Alliance currently knew. Zhang Yiwei and Li Bo were currently living in an abyss of suffering. In order to prove themselves, they were in terrible shape.
After Wang Jiexi appeared in the practice room, the originally still whispering immediately stopped. The team members all began to earnestly work on the training at hand. Wang Jiexi walked around in a circle and finally arrived at the bench. Everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Usually, everyone hoped that God Jiexi would pay attention to them. Right now, they all wished that they were invisible. Only Qiao Yifan was an exception. He had always been invisible.
"How was last night?" Wang Jiexi finally spoke. The five looked at each other, not daring to answer. In the end, Xiao Yun raised his head and saw Wang Jiexi looking at him. He helplessly said: "Uh … we ran into a bit of a problem."
"What?" Wang Jiexi asked.
"We …" Xiao Yun thought about it. "Team wipe" was too disgusting. He couldn't say it. Besides, he had died first. The other four had died later. Everyone had died in batches. It wasn't a typical team wipe. As a result, Xiao Yun avoided this word and carefully said it while paying attention to Wang Jiexi's expression.
"F * ck, so treacherous!!" Hearing this, Zhou Yebai and Liu Fei regretted not taking the initiative to speak up. Now that Shao Yun had the right to speak, this guy made light of his initial failure, but vividly described how the four of them were wiped out. Moreover, there was a hint of "if I was here, things wouldn't have turned out this way". Zhou Yebai and Liu Fei both wanted to open their mouths to argue, but seeing Wang Jiexi's uncertain expression, they didn't dare say anything.
Xiao Yun finally finished speaking and concluded: "Uh, we decided to properly practice with our low level accounts. We'll go find him tonight."
In the end, apart from "we're not used to using low level accounts", he really couldn't find any other excuse. Xiao Yun could only use this as an excuse.
Wang Jiexi didn't comment. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Gao Yingjie: "Little Jie, what do you think?"
Xiao Yun and the other two were jealous.
Gao Yingjie stood up with some fear and stammered: "I think … it's really amazing."
"What's amazing?" Wang Jiexi asked.
"That Lord Grim." Gao Yingjie said.
"How amazing?" Wang Jiexi said.
Gao Yingjie glanced at Xiao Yun. Because Xiao Yun had only briefly described how he had been abused, he didn't mention that he had been played to death by Lord Grim using Vanishing Steps. Although Gao Yingjie wasn't scheming, he still understood Xiao Yun's little scheme. But Vanishing Steps was a very clear indication of Lord Grim's skill level … …
Gao Yingjie only thought about it this way. If he really didn't tell the truth because of this, then he wouldn't be a "scheming" youth. He quickly began to tell the truth: "I saw that Brother Xiao was defeated by Lord Grim using Vanishing Cloth. When the four of us fought with him, our movements were all calculated. I think that this person is also Lord Grim."
"Oh? What do you think of him? "Wang Jiexi asked.
"He has a lot of experience. His attacks and skills are all used perfectly. All of his judgements are very accurate." Gao Yingjie said.
"Have you ever met such an amazing person before?" Wang Jiexi asked.
Gao Yingjie stared blankly. After a while, he said: "He's the captain."
"Then what about you guys?" Wang Jiexi's gaze turned and looked at the others: "Apart from me, have you ever met such an expert?"
Xiao Yun and the other two looked at each other. Lord Grim was an expert, that was something they admitted. However, Gao Yingjie actually said that apart from Wang Jiexi, he had never met such an expert. Wasn't this a bit too much of an exaggeration?
"Do you guys think that an expert of my skill level would never appear in the new server?" Wang Jiexi said.
The three of them were silent. Liu Fei nodded her head.
"It's because you guys have these kinds of preconceived notions that you feel that Lord Grim is extremely amazing. But … … he's just amazing. You guys haven't seriously measured his skill level, right?" Wang Jiexi said.
The three of them continued to look at each other.
"Lord Grim isn't a normal person." Wang Jiexi said.
"He is?" Liu Fei asked in confusion.
"There's an eighty percent chance that he's Ye Qiu."
"Ah?" The few of them cried out in surprise.
"Is he online right now?" Wang Jiexi asked.
At this moment, everyone was practicing with their characters. Hearing the captain ask, Xiao Yun immediately logged out of his character and logged into the tenth server account he had used last night. After going online, he searched for Lord Grim's name and nodded his head: "He's online."
"He was online last night and he's online right now. He pulled an all-nighter … … no matter how much he played, he couldn't have played in the afternoon. That should be his rest time. He'll probably appear at night." Wang Jiexi calculated for a moment and then suddenly waved his hand and knocked on the table. All of the players who heard it looked over. Those who were wearing headphones and didn't hear it were quickly reminded by others.
"After dinner, we'll have an extra class." Wang Jiexi announced to everyone.
"What class?" One of the main players asked the captain.
"Killing a boss." Wang Jiexi said.
“BOSS？ What boss? "Someone didn't understand.
"The biggest boss in Glory history." Wang Jiexi said.
Everyone was stunned. They still didn't understand what he meant.
"Fu Sheng, go get some account cards. I want tenth server accounts that are Level 25 and above. Their classes correspond to our players. We don't need any substitutes." Wang Jiexi instructed. Deng Fusheng was Micrograss Club's vice-captain. His account character was Angelica and his class was a Knight.
"Okay." Deng Fusheng replied and then got up and left.
Everyone in the training room couldn't help but whisper to each other. In the end, Wang Jiexi knocked on the table again: "Now, let's continue training."
The training room quieted down. After a moment, the sound of the keyboard and mouse could be heard. There was no more noise. Wang Jiexi was still at the substitutes' table. He asked: "Did you record yesterday?"
Everyone stared blankly. Liu Fei blurted out: "Captain didn't say anything about recording … …"
Zhou Yebai immediately glared at her. This woman really didn't know how to speak. She actually pushed the responsibility to the captain.
In the end, in the far corner, Qiao Yifan weakly raised his hand and said: "I did record."
"Oh? Let's see. "Wang Jiexi quickly walked over to Qiao Yifan's computer. Qiao Yifan hurriedly got up and moved out of the way.
