The boring class training turned the troublesome matter of snatching bosses into a holiday. Just like that, everyone in Happy endured day after day. Apart from Steamed Bun, who would occasionally whine, no one else complained. As for Baozi's cries, no one cared.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Apart from the basic training, Happy's team had also completed the corresponding class training. Ye Xiu and Wei Chen had finally finished it. However, the class training was much more detailed. Apart from the different classes, the training content was different. When practicing this step, the focus of training would also be different according to the characteristics of the players.
This was the progress that Glory's professional players had made over the years. Back in the pioneering era, not to mention this level of detail, even the basic training didn't have such a standardized model. The earliest training was for everyone to directly PK in the Arena. Now, players with such backgrounds were viewed as unorthodox. However, unorthodox methods weren't necessarily bad. Whether they were good or bad depended on the individual.
Right now, Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were only summarizing the training methods of the few players in the team. Refining them down to individual details wasn't something that could be done in a short amount of time. These adjustments had to be made according to the player's situation during the training.
This week, rumors continued to fly in the pro circle, but after the week ended, the real transfer market was calm in the eyes of the players. In reality, it wasn't that there wasn't any movement at all. It was just that there had been too many shocking transfers this summer. Many players were too lazy to even look at the transfers of less famous players.
As the days continued to pass, the various large battle teams began to gather their members one after another. It was time to prepare for the new season. The summer break in the pro circle wasn't like the summer break for students. When the season started on September 1st, everyone had to come back on September 1st to play. After a summer, many teams had changed. Tyranny had two famous veterans. Hundred Blossoms had their core rebuilt. Wind Howl had their new core, Tang Hao, and Best Rookie Zhao Yuzhe would be a part of the main roster next season. Apart from that, Blue Rain had Yu Feng leave. Micrograss had two All Stars. One retired, and the other transferred.
When a team welcomed a new player, a new player would join a new team. This sort of adjustment was mutual and required time.
As a result, even though the Pro League season would only start in September every year, none of the teams' holidays would end on the 1st of September. Basically, by the middle of August, all the Clubs would send out a call for the players to return to their teams and begin their training before the new season. Even for a team that hadn't changed much, after such a long break, the players had to find their competitive state again! After all, the players who took the initiative to train during the long break were few and far between.
August 15th, halfway through the week, the Club guilds in the game finally let out a sigh of relief. From this day onwards, Tyranny's pro players, who had caused their earnings to plummet this summer, finally left the in-game battlefield. Around the same time, Blue Rain's Lu Hanwen, Micrograss's Liu Xiaobie, Wind Howl's Zhao Yuzhe, and other pro players who had come to the game to play had all left one after another. However, none of them were as anticipated as Zhang Xinjie's and Lin Jingyan's departures.
Order in the game had finally returned to normal.
The guild leaders of the top guilds could only sigh. After all, this wasn't the first time they had experienced something like this. Every summer, something like this would happen to them. However, this year was truly special. The transfer market was especially hot, and the in-game world was also turned upside down. A God like Zhang Xinjie had come to help, giving the guild a monopoly advantage. This sort of situation had never happened before. This year's summer had left a deep impression on everyone.
The pro players' holidays had ended, but the transfer window didn't close just like that. The managers of the Club guilds were still busy, using the last two to three weeks to strengthen their teams. Especially now that training had begun, they could receive feedback from the teams. While the transfer window hadn't closed yet, they could still make adjustments.
The experienced players began to look forward to it again. This was because from what they had seen in the past, there would often be some major transfers at the end of the transfer window. Moreover, there would often be some unexpectedly high prices. There was no time!
Everyone looked forward to it, but in the end, another "calm" week passed. There weren't any noteworthy transfers.
This was in the eyes of the average player, but in the eyes of the Happy players, a transfer happened this week that could be considered good news for them.
Excellent Era's Guo Yang transferred to Team Wind Howl for 2.6 million.
Excellent Era's relegated team, which refused to be a supermarket, still lost a player. After all, if the Club couldn't convince the player to stay, they couldn't force the player to stay. That would be a loss for both teams.
Excellent Era might have brought in Xiao Shiqin and Life Extinguisher, these two All Stars, but they would have to waste a year in the Challenger League. Not everyone would be willing to sacrifice this year for the sake of their future prospects.
Guo Yang was one of the main players of Excellent Era. His character was a Qi Master. His departure would definitely damage Excellent Era's strength, so for the Happy players, this wasn't bad news. There would be damage, but it would be limited. On paper, Excellent Era had three All Stars in Sun Xiang, Xiao Shiqin, and Su Mucheng. This was something that the Alliance didn't have.
Tyrannical Ambition had four players, but three of them were at the end of their careers. On the other hand, two of Excellent Era's players were at their peak, while one was already at his peak. However, his youth made it seem like he still had room to grow. Compared to Tyranny's three old men, this was a much more difficult situation.
Such a freak that had been relegated attracted a lot of attention. No one doubted that Excellent Era would be able to return to the Alliance through this year's Challenger League. As for the pro teams that had participated in the Challenger League in the same year as Excellent Era, there were also teams that hadn't been able to make it back in the previous season, or even teams that hadn't disbanded yet. After all, only one team could return from the Challenger League every year. There would always be teams that remained outside.
Team Duskfire was one of these teams.
They were the team that had been relegated in Season 6. Then, in Season 7 and Season 8, they had failed both times. Once they were relegated, they would be treated like a supermarket. If they failed, they might face disbandment. This Team Duskfire was quite tenacious. They failed the first year and tried again the next year. Unfortunately, they failed the previous season as well.
In Team Duskfire, only their captain was still in the team. The others who had the strength to stand their ground in the pro scene had already left. The team could only find players that had been eliminated by other teams and couldn't find a job in the Alliance to join them. This would be their third time participating in the Challenger League after being relegated, and it might also be their last. After three consecutive years of struggling in the Challenger League, the team almost couldn't hold on anymore. Captain Hu Zeyi's salary wasn't the same as when he was in the pro scene. The team couldn't be considered professional either. This time, it was their last chance. Who would have thought that Excellent Era would fall from the heavens and become a team with three All Stars. When Xiao Shiqin announced that Team Duskfire would be joining Excellent Era, three of them expressed that they would be leaving the team to find jobs. It was clear that they were disappointed.
Team Duskfire obviously wasn't the only team. Team Mysterious Fantasy, who had been relegated along with Excellent Era, was also feeling gloomy. If they wanted to break through the Challenger League, they would have to defeat Excellent Era. Who wouldn't be worried about this?
These teams were the same as Happy. They all had their eyes on Excellent Era. Now that they had been waiting for Excellent Era, it was a bit of a loss. However, the only one that left was a character. Perhaps it was because Excellent Era felt that there was no need to purposely get rid of him! After all, Excellent Era had changed their captain and vice captain. It was clear that they were rebuilding.
However, no matter what, they still had to sign up for the Challenger League. On Happy's side, Chen Guo finally got everyone's ID and character to sign up. The Challenger League wasn't very strict in the beginning. It could be said that there weren't any checks. However, the regulations were very detailed. What should be regulated would be regulated. For example, if a player didn't have an ID yet, they could use their guardian's identity to sign up. However, in the future, the guardian would have to show up.
Happy's side had quite a few young people, but none of them were minors. Chen Guo was preparing to sign up with everyone's ID, but Mo Fan was a bit stuck. This guy had been in Happy's Internet Cafe for half a month, but he was still as quiet as before. He hadn't changed at all since the first day he came. Does this count as joining, or what?
Chen Guo was completely clueless. She also didn't know what Ye Xiu was planning. Since she was preparing to sign up, she could only ask.
"Are you going to sign up?" Chen Guo was always very direct. She didn't explain to Mo Fan. Everyone was talking about this every day. Although Mo Fan never interfered, his ears were always there. He definitely knew what Chen Guo meant.
"Not interested," Mo Fan squeezed out three words.
"Just sign up first!" Ye Xiu was already paying attention when he saw Chen Guo greet Mo Fan. When he heard Mo Fan say this, he immediately followed up, "It's fine if you sign up. When the time comes, if you don't want to fight, then don't fight."
Mo Fan was silent. He didn't comment. However, after being together for half a month, everyone was more or less familiar with this guy's habits. When he was silent, most of them didn't object. If you objected, he would definitely coldly give you a "No".
"ID," Chen Guo said.
Mo Fan handed it over.
"Are you going to use Deception as your character?" Chen Guo asked.
"Whatever," Mo Fan said indifferently. Chen Guo was quite angry when she saw this, but in the end, she endured it.
"How about the team name be Happy?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu for his opinion.
"It doesn't matter," Ye Xiu smiled.
"I want to use that name." Chen Guo didn't want to be too bossy. The name Happy was a bit tacky, but to her, it had a lot of special meaning. She really wanted to use that name.
"You're the boss. You have the final say. If anyone objects, then fire them," Ye Xiu said.
"Okay," Chen Guo smiled.
On Glory's official website, on the registration page for the Challenger League, the information of the people named Team Happy was finally uploaded.
