Chen Guo suddenly understood. That's right! This person was the owner of Excellent Era, the true Big Boss, Tao Xuan. He had seen her on the news before, but as a boss, his exposure couldn't compare to that of a contestant. He also didn't get as much attention as a contestant, so even though Chen Guo looked familiar, he couldn't remember who she was. After hearing Ye Xiu's words, she suddenly remembered.
The owner of Excellent Era personally came to visit?
Chen Guo immediately realized that there were too many things going on here. She was both concerned and curious, so she couldn't help but follow them into the room. When she saw the two of them looking at her, she felt embarrassed and pointed at her own room. "I'm going back to my room." She quickly slipped into the room, closed the door, and then … leaned against the door.
"Sit." In the living room, Ye Xiu offered his seat to Tao Xuan and stood by the window.
"How have you been?" Tao Xuan sat on the sofa and looked at Ye Xiu as he asked.
"Very good," Ye Xiu said as he took out a cigarette from his pocket, shook it out, and threw it at Tao Xuan.
Tao Xuan was clearly startled. When he raised his hand to catch it, it was already too late.
The cigarette fell to the ground. Tao Xuan bent over to pick it up, but his fingers looked unnatural. In the end, he put the cigarette on the table and looked at Ye Xiu with a smile. "I quit."
"Oh? Really? I didn't know that! "Ye Xiu said as he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled out the window.
After a moment of silence, Tao Xuan looked around the room and asked with a smile, "You're staying here?"
"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded.
"Aren't you afraid that Mucheng won't be happy living with such a beauty?" Tao Xuan joked.
"Hahaha." Ye Xiu also laughed three times. Then, he stopped smiling and looked seriously at Tao Xuan. "Let's talk!"
Tao Xuan didn't avoid Ye Xiu's gaze. Instead, he looked straight at him with a smile on his face. "Come back!"
"Back to where?"
"Return to the Excellent Era."
Bang! Chen Guo's bedroom door creaked as if someone had knocked into it. Ye Xiu shook his head and laughed, then shouted, "If you want to hear it, then come out! Useless … "
The door was pulled open and Chen Guo walked out. She had a complicated expression on her face. She looked a little embarrassed and angry at the same time.
Ye Xiu looked at her and smiled. Then he turned to Tao Xuan and continued, "Why did you come back to Excellent Era?"
"Coach," Tao Xuan answered quickly.
"Oh? Me as a coach? Is this part of your plan? "Ye Xiu asked.
This time, Tao Xuan didn't answer quickly. He looked away and stopped in front of him. On the empty coffee table, the cigarette that he had picked up was left alone. Chen Guo looked at him. She wanted to rush up to him and ask him how he had the nerve to ask Ye Xiu to come back, but she restrained herself. She kept looking at this and that, as if she wanted to see something from their faces.
"I'm not interested in standing on the sidelines. I prefer to stand on the field," Ye Xiu suddenly said, breaking the silence.
His words made Tao Xuan smile again. He quickly looked up and said, "Being a coach is only temporary. After you've retired for a year, you can come back immediately."
"Of course I'll come back immediately." Ye Xiu smiled.
Tao Xuan understood the meaning behind Ye Xiu's words: No matter where I am, I will definitely come back. Tao Xuan smiled bitterly. "Why do you have to do this?"
"Why do you have to do this?" Ye Xiu asked back.
Tao Xuan's expression suddenly became a bit agitated. Ye Xiu's question seemed to have touched on something.
Why do you have to do this meant that there was no need. Ye Xiu's "why do you have to do this" didn't seem to be referring to the situation in front of him.
"You and I have both watched the Alliance grow step by step to where it is today. We both know very well that the current Alliance is no longer the same as it was in the past." Tao Xuan said, "The success of the powerhouses promotes the Alliance. Outstanding stars have the greatest influence. This is what the Alliance needs the most in order to develop. In a match, tactics and teamwork are indeed important. These can determine the outcome of the match. But stars! Only stars can truly drive the box office. Those high-end tactics of yours, if you pulled out ten thousand viewers, how many of them would be able to understand them? Those complicated teamwork, how many of them would be able to understand the technical content behind it? None! These won't be able to capture the hearts of the players. What do players like to see the most? 1v3 in the group arena, single-handedly turning the tide in the team competition. These are the things that they love to talk about. These are the things that they want to see, like to see, hope to see, and see as the most miraculous things. "
Tao Xuan paused, paying attention to Ye Xiu's expression. He even glanced at Chen Guo, who was standing to the side, before continuing, "Why is Zhou Zekai called the number one player in Glory? Is it just because he's handsome? No, more importantly, his skills are dazzling enough, and the scenes he plays on are beautiful enough. In the eyes of the players, beauty means difficulty, and it means a high level of skill. You might also say that this is superficial. But what everyone likes to see is superficial. Your Dragon Raises Its Head. You said that you made it for fun and that its actual combat value was limited. But what about it? All the fans treat it as your signature move. Its actual combat value is limited. Is that important? It's not important. What's important is that it can't be replicated. Only you know how to use it, so it's an irreplaceable beauty. When you don't use it, everyone will think that your skill level has dropped. When you use it on the All-Star stage, you can instantly ignite the crowd's passion. I don't believe that you haven't seen these things! "
After this impassioned speech, Tao Xuan's smile had completely disappeared. His eyes burned as he stared at Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu smiled faintly, "You're right, but these aren't what I want."
"What do you want?"
"Victory." Ye Xiu also looked straight at Tao Xuan.
"You …" Tao Xuan seemed to have suddenly lost all of his strength. After a while, he continued to speak, but this time, there was a hint of mockery in his tone, "You think that you can still win back the glory of the past?"
"I'll try," Ye Xiu said.
"You can't do it," Tao Xuan said word by word.
"You're that sure?" Ye Xiu still laughed.
"Yes."
"Let's wait and see," Ye Xiu said.
"Very good, let's wait and see." Tao Xuan stood up.
"Hmph, before that, you should make sure that your Excellent Era doesn't get eliminated." Chen Guo saw that the two sides had reached a dead end and couldn't help but interject.
"Haha." Tao Xuan smiled disapprovingly, "Even if Excellent Era gets eliminated, they still have the ability to immediately return to the Alliance after a year. We have our eyes on the future and won't be bound by the past. Those obstacles that block our future will only be mercilessly kicked away by us. "
"Yes, you've done very well on this point," Ye Xiu said calmly.
"Goodbye."
"I won't see you out."
Tao Xuan quickly walked to the door. After opening the door, he stopped. He didn't turn around and only said, "The Alliance can no longer return to the past."
"I know, but I'm old. I'm already too lazy to go forward," Ye Xiu said.
"You could have had a perfect ending," Tao Xuan said.
"Whether or not my ending is perfect is up to me," Ye Xiu said.
Tao Xuan, who had been standing at the door for a long time, finally turned around. "For the sake of our many years of friendship, I can promise you one last thing."
"Oh?"
"Even if you want to transfer to One Leaf Of Autumn," Tao Xuan said.
"That's very expensive." Ye Xiu smiled.
"As long as you give me a price, I won't make it difficult for you," Tao Xuan said.
When Tao Xuan said this, even Chen Guo was moved. This was because she knew very well that a character transfer was far more difficult than a player transfer. A player's value would rise and fall based on their condition, but a character's value would almost never rise. A character's value would always rise and fall.
This was because a character was dead. As long as someone was controlling it, it would perfectly follow orders. Its value could always be fully utilized. As for a player? If a player really wanted to transfer, the club wouldn't make it difficult for them. After all, a forcefully picked melon wasn't sweet.
This principle applied to people, but not to characters.
When a player transferred, there were many parties involved. The transfer fee was very negotiable. When a character transferred, the buyer would always be cut by the seller. So during the transfer window, there would always be a lot of player transfers, but very few character transfers.
Tao Xuan actually promised to let go of One Leaf Of Autumn, the ace character of Excellent Era, and he wouldn't set any obstacles in the transfer fee. This promise carried a lot of weight.
"Okay then." Ye Xiu nodded. "I want Dancing Rain."
"Hm?" Chen Guo called out in confusion. Tao Xuan also had an astonished expression, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He nodded. "Okay, I'll keep my word."
"Thank you."
"Then …" Tao Xuan turned around. "I never thought that there would be a day where I would have the opportunity to say these words to you: See you in a match!"
"I thought of that a long time ago. See you in a match! "Ye Xiu said calmly.
Tao Xuan left. Chen Guo leaned against the window. She soon saw Tao Xuan walk out of the Internet cafe and stride across the road. Without hesitation, without turning his head, he walked through Excellent Era's entrance.
"You guys used to be … good friends, right?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu.
"Yeah." Ye Xiu replied. He walked over to the coffee table, picked up the cigarette he had picked up from the ground, lit it, and walked out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Chen Guo hurriedly asked.
"I'm going to the game. You're not coming?" Ye Xiu turned his head and asked, his smile still the same.
"Of course." Chen Guo hurriedly followed, but her heart was calm. She realized that her worry for Ye Xiu was always unnecessary.
In Room 213, the two logged into the game together. Chen Guo had been sparring with him these past two days. The two logged in and out of the game at the same place. As soon as they logged on, Ye Xiu immediately saw a scorched mark on the ground. After a moment of surprise, Lord Grim immediately turned 360 degrees and looked around. He didn't know what he saw, but he immediately yelled at Chen Guo: "Run!"
"What?" Chen Guo's Chasing Haze had also just logged on when she heard Ye Xiu's yell. She didn't have time to react before she saw a net of light cover her.
