Ye Xiu and the others appeared just as Zhang Xinjie was about to go to bed. They obviously dominated the entire night. Their team had never gained much from wild bosses before. Now was their first taste of success. Their teamwork was in its honeymoon phase and everyone's fighting spirit was high. Moreover, these days would only last for two months at most, so there were quite a few people who were willing to sacrifice their biological clock.
That night, when there was a boss, they would fight for it. When there wasn't a boss, they could do whatever they wanted. By the time the sun rose, four bosses had spawned and all of them had been snatched by the four guilds. Everyone was happily splitting the materials and didn't want to leave even when the sun rose.
"Let's wait a bit longer. In any case, that guy isn't online yet. Once he comes online, we'll leave." Loulan Slash said.
"Agreed."
"Supported."
"Agreed."
The other guild leaders all expressed their agreement. Ye Xiu saw that everyone was determined and nodded his head, indicating that they would wait until Zhang Xinjie came online. In any case, he knew that Zhang Xinjie lived like a machine. He went to bed on time at night and woke up on time in the morning as well. As for when he would come online, it could be yesterday or the day before. In any case, it was all the same. It was about time for him to come online now. It would be best if another boss spawned before this guy appeared.
"Let's kill the boss first. Then we'll kill Zhang Xinjie. Let's kill the boss first. Then we'll kill Zhang Xinjie. "
Quite a few people were praying like this. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, the sun was about to reach the middle of the night, but Zhang Xinjie still hadn't appeared.
After staying up all night until noon, everyone was a bit tired. However, Zhang Xinjie hadn't spawned yet, so everyone was a bit reluctant to leave. Ye Xiu also felt that it was a bit strange. Why didn't he come? Did he see through their intentions and purposely do something bad to make them tired?
It didn't seem like it.
Ye Xiu thought about it and shook his head. This didn't seem like Zhang Xinjie's style. If he didn't come today, maybe he had something to do? Or perhaps, today was his own day of rest?
In the end, the first person to discover the truth was Chen Guo. Not from the game, but from outside the game. Chen Guo, who was browsing the web out of boredom, found a piece of news. Tyranny was holding a press conference to welcome the newly transferred pro player: Lin Jingyan.
"Lin Jingyan has transferred to Tyranny!" Chen Guo was on the main page of the official website. Tyranny's press conference had already been held. Naturally, it would not be a rumor. When he saw the news, he immediately shouted.
"Lin Jingyan?" Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were both stunned. It was rare that the two of them had faced each other on the court and were still in the circle.
Lin Jingyan had become a pro player in the second season of the Glory Alliance. He wasn't like many of the Gods who shone brightly from their rookie days. Lin Jingyan was a player who took one step at a time until he was hailed as the number one Brawler in Glory.
However, this was only his profession. Lin Jingyan himself was very humble and courteous to everyone.
Unfortunately, nothing could stop the invasion of time. As his condition declined, Lin Jingyan's title as the number one Brawler was constantly challenged from all sides. Until this season, when Tang Hao, the rising star of Team Hundred Blossoms, directly called out Lin Jingyan at the All Stars Weekend.
Lin Jingyan lost that battle.
It was also after that battle that the number one Brawler title finally changed hands. Even if he still had the number one Brawler account, Demon Subduer, everyone was more interested in discussing what kind of glory Demon Subduer would shine if he fell into Tang Hao's hands.
The rumors of Team Hundred Blossoms buying Demon Subduer never stopped. This was undoubtedly disrespectful to the account owner. But sometimes, the pro scene was just this heartless. Everyone was more willing to see a new and exciting scene. How many people would understand the feelings of a veteran who was about to leave?
With the arrival of the playoffs, Lin Jingyan's days became more and more difficult.
Team Wind Howl didn't make it into the playoffs. As the team's captain and ace player, he couldn't escape the blame. It had to be known that Wind Howl's strength wasn't bad. They had two All Star level players and accounts, and they even had Zhao Yuzhe, who had won the title of Best Rookie this season. The other players were also quite strong. Their final results were truly a bit of a shame to their strength on paper.
Mockery and ridicule assaulted him. Quite a few of them were Team Wind Howl fans. Even they felt that their captain was a burden to the team. The more rational ones hoped that Lin Jingyan could give up his position to someone else and continue contributing to the team as a substitute. The more extreme ones even described him as a cancer, wantonly attacking him on the internet, telling him to scram.
Lin Jingyan was in a difficult position.
He couldn't bear to leave. He felt like he could still fight. In his seven years as a pro player, he hadn't even played in the finals once. Even though there were many players like this, others were others. As for Lin Jingyan, he really couldn't accept it.
Give up his position to someone else and continue working hard as a part of the main roster? Lin Jingyan didn't feel like it wasn't a pity, but what made him feel bitterly disappointed was that the Club didn't seem to have this intention.
Whether it was within the Club or in front of the public, the Club didn't give him a clear answer.
They didn't express support, nor did they express opposition.
Lin Jingyan, who had been in the pro scene for seven years, obviously knew that this was the Club hinting to him.
If they supported him, the Club would have stood on his side a long time ago. Not saying anything didn't mean that the Club was considering or hesitating. In reality, they had already made their decision. They just didn't want to embarrass the old general too much. Lin Jingyan was expressing his loyalty, but the club was coldly rejecting his loyalty. This would hurt this veteran, and it would hurt a lot of his fans.
The Club's vague silence was in hopes that Lin Jingyan would be tactful and stop saying those words that would embarrass everyone.
The helpless Lin Jingyan finally fell silent. This obviously wasn't some kind of tactful silence. He really felt that saying anything more wouldn't be of any use. Retire? Or just find a small or mid-sized team and take the salary of two teams?
Lin Jingyan had no lack of invitations, but his fighting heart hadn't stopped beating yet! He didn't want to muddle his way into a mid-tier team that was only there to accompany their prince. Rather than that, Lin Jingyan felt that it would be better to join a weak team that needed to fight to not be relegated. At least he would have a clear goal to work towards.
However, this was just talk. This goal wasn't what Lin Jingyan wanted. Perhaps at this point, retiring was the best choice.
Lin Jingyan had almost made this decision, but because of an unexpected phone call, he completely abandoned this decision.
"Come to our side! There's a place for you. "
A call that surprised Lin Jingyan.
Han Wenqing, Team Tyranny!
Lin Jingyan had never thought that in the twilight years of his pro career, he would receive a call from such a top team.
His Team Wind Howl's goal every year was to enter the playoffs and then win as many matches as they could in the playoffs. But Team Tyranny? The champions of the Pro Alliance's fourth season had always been a team that aimed to win the championship. Even if their captain and ace were also affected by age and decline in condition, their team's goal had never changed.
This was a team that would never back down. They had called Lin Jingyan. Lin Jingyan believed that this wasn't a call for him to be some firefighter. The team definitely needed him. A minute after hanging up with Han Wenqing, Lin Jingyan had already made his decision. He dialed back the number he had just dialed and clearly stated: "I've decided to join Tyranny."
Team Wind Howl didn't try to stop Lin Jingyan from leaving. They gave the green light to Tyranny's offer. The All Star player, the former number one Brawler, Lin Jingyan, joined Team Tyranny for a transfer fee of one million. This would have been unimaginable if he had been at the peak of his career.
Team Wind Howl held a very thoughtful farewell ceremony for their veteran, thanking him for his many years of service to the team. The modest Lin Jingyan didn't hold any resentment towards the club for giving up on him at the last moment. After shaking hands with every member of the club, this pro player, who had almost retired, resumed his pursuit of the championship. He was very happy with this step.
In Tyranny's press conference, Lin Jingyan clearly stated that he wasn't coming to Tyranny to retire. He was confident that he could still contribute to the team. As long as the team needed him, he would be ready to go into battle at any time.
His words had a lot of meaning behind them. Lin Jingyan was actually hinting: he didn't mind his status in Team Tyranny, even if he was just a substitute. After all, with his status, it was easy for others to assume that he was part of the main roster. Quite a few people had already begun gossiping after the transfer was announced. Many people didn't think highly of Tyranny's deal. They thought that Lin Jingyan, who was in the later stages of his career, might care more about his status in the team and his opportunities to go on stage. If he didn't handle it well, it could cause internal conflict within the team. Lin Jingyan's words were naturally an answer to these suspicions.
Who would have thought that he would smooth things over and explain these suspicions? On the other hand, some people on Tyranny's side were unhappy. Tyranny's captain, Han Wenqing, clearly stated in the press conference: "Lin Jingyan is an important part of Team Tyranny next season. The club is currently creating a new Brawler character for him. There's only one reason for inviting Lin Jingyan: to become the champions. "
These words were clearly against Lin Jingyan's words, but Lin Jingyan didn't mind at all. Creating a character for him, inviting him for the sake of becoming the champions, all of these showed how much importance Tyranny placed on him. Lin Jingyan's initial apprehension completely disappeared at this moment. From today onwards, he would be a member of Team Tyranny. Here, let alone the finals, they might even be able to win the championship!
