On April Fools' Day, Team Excellent Era didn't perform well, but their opponents were just as bad. In the end, the biggest selling point of this round passed just like that. No one would have thought that the next day, Excellent Era would hold a press conference and drop a bomb.
In the press conference, Excellent Era's manager, Cui Li, personally announced that the newly joined Team Excellent Era's rising star player, Sun Xiang, would most likely miss the rest of the season due to his poor physical condition.
When answering the reporters' questions, Cui Li painfully expressed that Sun Xiang's physical condition had been a problem for a long time. It was only because Excellent Era had always been in a difficult situation that they insisted on participating in the competition. And now, it was time to stop.
After answering a lot of questions about Sun Xiang's condition, Cui Li confidently expressed that the team's ace player and character's absence would push the team to work harder in the upcoming matches. But at the same time, Cui Li expressed that the club was fully prepared for the worst-case scenario. Even if the worst-case scenario happened, the club and the team would face it with a positive attitude.
Although this last statement was said humbly and tactfully, how could the professionals who were used to working in the media not understand the meaning behind it? Hearing this, Excellent Era was already preparing for the possibility of being relegated. If that was the case, then Excellent Era's confidence in maintaining their current position was shaken.
What exactly happened to Excellent Era that made a powerhouse team lose confidence in maintaining their position in the Alliance? Analyzing Excellent Era's strength on paper, even without their ace player, Sun Xiang, and their ace character, One Leaf Of Autumn, it shouldn't be difficult to maintain their position in the Alliance. But now, Excellent Era seemed to be actively facing this situation.
"Excellent Era, are they really going to give up on next season and play in the Challenger League?" After reading the news that day, Chen Guo spoke to Ye Xiu in a daze. They had already briefly discussed this issue last night.
"I don't think they did it on purpose. If that's the case, the team might have really lost control," Ye Xiu said regretfully.
"Is the Excellent Era really coming to an end?" Chen Guo found it hard to believe.
Ye Xiu just shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Ah! Aiya! Ahhh!!! "
At this time, a series of shouts rang out, interrupting their discussion. Bao Rongxing, also known as Baozi, had invaded. Last night, after everyone had eaten supper, they were directly taken to the room that Chen Guo had rented for the new members. The house had just been handed over to Chen Guo on the 1st of April. It hadn't been completely tidied up yet, but the spacious living environment made Bao Rongxing cry out "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
After a night's rest, he tidied up the room in the morning. At this time, Bao Rongxing finally arrived at Happy Internet Cafe. Last night, it was dark and there was a broadcast, so he didn't pay much attention to the Internet Cafe. Now that he was here, he walked around upstairs and downstairs. Then, he immediately cried out in surprise, just like when he went to the new room last night.
These cries of surprise clearly satisfied Chen Guo greatly. She happily looked at Bao Rongxing, who was jogging down from the second floor.
"What a big Internet Cafe!!" Bao Rongxing exclaimed loudly after he had enough of "Ah!". He didn't forget to ask: "Such a big Internet Cafe, how many people do you need to watch over it?"
"This … There's no need. The security here is better …" Chen Guo didn't know how to answer this question. In any case, for as long as she could remember, she had never seen anyone causing trouble in an Internet Cafe that needed professional hooligans to take care of. Although there were occasional drunken troublemakers or thieves, Chen Guo never felt the need to find professional bodyguards.
"Security … Some problems can't be solved just by relying on security! Why don't you just leave it to me? "Bao Rongxing said confidently.
"I don't mind." Chen Guo smiled.
"Okay, okay. Let me see! I'll move a table and sit here? " Bao Rongxing gestured at the entrance of the Internet Cafe. It seemed like he wanted to move a table inside and block half of the entrance.
"This … There's no need!" Chen Guo was speechless.
"Use it, use it. This way, there won't be any flaws. If the troublemaker wants to run, he can walk this way. The table will block him. If he walks this way, I'll beat him up and down! "Bao Rongxing gestured as he spoke.
Chen Guo was a bit anxious, but she didn't know how to communicate with this guy. At the crucial moment, Ye Xiu stood up: "Bao Rongxing, so this is how you watch over your Internet Cafe?"
"No." Bao Rongxing said, "The boss said that if he needed me, I'd make a move."
"Then it's the same now. If he needs you, you can make a move!" Ye Xiu said.
"So it's like that. Then I'm quite used to it. I just don't know if the boss thinks it's not safe enough?" Bao Rongxing looked at Chen Guo with some doubt.
"It's enough, enough, enough! Come, come, come. Normally, you should focus your energy on practicing Glory! If there's a big problem that can't be solved, I'll definitely ask you for help. "Chen Guo said.
"Okay then!" Bao Rongxing reluctantly agreed.
Soon afterwards, Bao Rongxing went to the second floor's Room 213. Considering that more team members would come in the future, Chen Guo had already considered expanding the room to be used for training. These past few days, she had already been looking for people to discuss how to change the layout of the second floor, but she hadn't come up with a plan yet. Room 213 was still the training room for now.
Bao Rongxing sat inside and praised the environment. These were all words that Chen Guo liked to hear. It made her feel very comfortable.
Afterwards, they played together in the room. It was just that even though the four sat close to each other, they were in different places in-game. Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing were still in the tenth server, but in terms of level, Tang Rou was still ahead of Bao Rongxing by a large margin, so they couldn't play together.
Ye Xiu was in the Heavenly Domain, continuing to level up Lord Grim.
Chen Guo's game content wasn't like that of an entertainment player. Chasing Haze didn't log on much. Chasing Haze only logged on to check on the guild storage and the leveling progress of the players. Apart from that, she frequently browsed the forums for news and gossip, doing her best to find out what was going on in the pro scene.
"Why hasn't Old Wei come yet?" During the day, she had spent most of her time tidying up her new apartment, but Chen Guo had already told the Internet Cafe that no one was looking for her.
"He said he's coming today." Ye Xiu said.
"It's already dark. He's still not coming." Chen Guo muttered, when her QQ suddenly rang. She looked and saw that it was the cashier girl downstairs telling her that someone was looking for her.
"Oh, it might be Old Wei." Chen Guo said.
"Really?" Ye Xiu temporarily stopped playing. Tang Rou knew that another new member had arrived, so she got up to greet him. Even though Bao Rongxing didn't know what was going on, when he saw the three of them get up, he immediately knew that something had happened. Without him, they couldn't do anything, so he immediately followed.
Chen Guo walked at the very front. As soon as she went down the stairs, she saw a bearded guy leaning against the cashier's counter, puffing out smoke. Next to his feet were two large handbags. That puff of smoke made the cashier girl furrow her eyebrows, but she didn't do anything because the boss was waiting for a customer. That guy didn't have any self-awareness. He kept looking around. When his gaze turned to the stairs, he saw Chen Guo coming down and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Old Wei!"
At this moment, Chen Guo heard Ye Xiu call out from behind her. That guy immediately walked over quickly. Chen Guo moved to the side to let Ye Xiu walk in front. That guy quickly walked over, but he didn't shake Ye Xiu's hand. He immediately looked at Chen Guo and asked Ye Xiu, "Who is this beautiful lady?"
"She's our boss." Ye Xiu introduced.
"Oh, nice to meet you." Wei Chen immediately reached out to shake Chen Guo's hand.
At this moment, Chen Guo was in a dilemma! This Wei Chen didn't give her a good impression from the start. Now that she saw that he was the type whose eyes lit up when he saw a beautiful lady, her impression of him continued to drop. She really didn't want to shake his hand, but when she thought about it, he was a member of the team. As the boss, she had to show some goodwill, right? Thus, she had no choice but to reach her right hand out. But she made up her mind that if this guy tried to take advantage of her by shaking her hand and not letting go, she wouldn't give him any face no matter what.
In the end, Wei Chen shook her hand a few times and said, "Hello, I'm Wei Chen." Then he let go. But Chen Guo soon realized that this guy's gaze had already landed on Tang Rou behind her. His eyes lit up even more. His hand, which had just let go of Chen Guo, looked like he couldn't wait to grab Tang Rou. He was already asking, "And this is?"
"Tang Rou." Ye Xiu used her real name again. Tang Rou didn't interact with Wei Chen in-game, unlike with Bao Rongxing. It was easier for him to connect the dots by saying Han Yanrou's name.
"Good name, good name. Hello, hello." Wei Chen immediately reached out to shake Tang Rou's hand. Chen Guo's gaze followed, wanting to see how Tang Rou would respond. But in the end, two hands had already shot out from the side and grabbed Wei Chen's right hand that was reaching for Tang Rou. "Hello, hello. I'm Bao Rongxing. My close friends call me Bao Rongxing."
"Ah … hello …" The sudden interruption startled Wei Chen. Then, he looked at the guy in front of him, who was flipping his hair and acting cool. After saying hello, he turned his head to look at Ye Xiu: "Are these the team members you found?"
"Yeah. Even though they're new to Glory, their skill level isn't bad." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, right. Did you see this?" Wei Chen suddenly thought of something and ran back to his luggage. He pulled out a newspaper and handed it to Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu took a look. It was City H's evening newspaper. Even though it wasn't an esports newspaper, Excellent Era was a Club in City H, so in the sports section of the evening newspaper, today's press conference was still briefly reported.
"Of course I saw it." Ye Xiu only glanced at it. He knew that Wei Chen was definitely talking about this, so he stuffed the newspaper back.
"What does this Excellent Era mean? It looks like they're already preparing to be relegated? If they really are relegated and participate in next season's Challenger League, wouldn't they be fighting against us? That wouldn't be good! "Wei Chen said seriously.
Chen Guo stared blankly for a moment. Wei Chen's eyes had been shining. She had already guessed that this guy wouldn't have any bottom line when it came to the two beauties. She didn't think that in the blink of an eye, this guy would be seriously discussing the team with Ye Xiu.
Glory, to these guys, was the most important thing in their lives!
