Once Team Everlasting saw the situation clearly, the negotiations went smoothly. On Wu Chen's side, he calmly changed from his previous cold attitude towards Happy and began to take the initiative to ask about Happy's needs.
What did Happy need?
Whether it was the character's equipment or materials, Ye Xiu had calculated them all. Every single cent had to be spent on the blade. This was Ye Xiu's style ever since he started over. The two million worth of materials from the deal with Team Samsara had been listed in a dazzling array. Ye Xiu had carefully examined the information he had on hand and typed it out bit by bit.
Team Happy was much stronger than many grassroots teams. An income of 20 million would scare people to death if they heard about it. But compared to a pro team, it was a far cry. Team Happy actually had a very tyrannical situation. None of the current members had ever discussed the issue of pay.
Yes, pay.
Being a pro player wasn't a voluntary job. As the Alliance continued to prosper, the salaries of pro players all rose along with it. An annual salary of a million was only at the level of a pro player. The annual salary of a top God would need to be evaluated by their respective Clubs. There were pro players who didn't care about money, but Happy's current members seemed to have forgotten about it. That definitely wasn't possible.
Happy's members didn't mention it, but as the boss, Chen Guo, remembered it. As a Glory fan, she had a rough idea of what the current pro players' salaries were. She didn't mean to forget, but she didn't dare to face this issue properly. If she really did manage Happy like a pro team, how could her Internet cafe afford to raise a God like Ye Xiu with its meager assets?
Chen Guo had even seriously discussed this issue with Ye Xiu. Afterwards, Ye Xiu had also seriously discussed it with everyone. The general idea was that the team had just started and there were many things waiting to be done. Everyone had to work together and not worry about personal gains and losses. There would be bread and championships sooner or later, and so on.
As a result, he was despised by everyone, especially Wei Chen, who shouted the most fiercely. He gestured at Ye Xiu with his two middle fingers, "This old man has a net worth of 18 million RMB. Do you think I'd care about your little bit of money?!"
As for the others, Tang Rou smiled and said that she was paid. Baozi asked casually, and Chen Guo quickly covered Tang Rou's mouth. Tang Rou's salary was that of an Internet cafe's cashier. It was an insult to professional players.
No one took it seriously. Even An Wenyi, Little Icy Cold Hands, who had asked this question in the beginning, was not worried about Team Happy's situation. In the early stages of starting a business, there was always a lack of ideals and ambitions. In the face of these beautiful visions, talking about money was cliché.
"Very good. Keep it up. If everyone can keep this attitude, the boss will definitely be very happy." Ye Xiu saw that they couldn't continue talking about serious matters as usual, so he decided to just talk about it. The issue of everyone's treatment was actually so vague and vague.
In the end, it was their own problem. If everyone wanted to be vague, then so be it! But buying materials and equipment was an external transaction. They were willing to be vague, but the other party wasn't. As a result, Ye Xiu had always been careful with his spending. Every penny had to be worth it.
This time, Ye Xiu didn't plan on taking much from Team Everlasting. He was going for his own needs. Warlock equipment was his main goal. Apart from that, there were also some new materials that he needed. Of course, he could also see if Everlasting had any.
Because of Heavenly Swords' strong backing, Everlasting began to be polite to Happy. Ye Xiu didn't ignore the other side's enthusiasm and began to ask more questions about Everlasting's supplies.
After all, Wu Chen was the captain of the team. He had been influenced by the Club and had been forced to know about the supplies. He thought he was clear enough, but when Ye Xiu began to ask in detail, Wu Chen's most frequent reply was: "Wait a moment, let me see … …"
After going through so much trouble, Ye Xiu only took a fancy to three of the seven pieces of Silver equipment on the Warlock Leopold: a cloak, a belt, and a pair of shoes.
Of course, he said it was Ye Xiu, but it was actually Wei Chen. Wei Chen was a veteran player. He had his own system and didn't need Ye Xiu to worry about him. Wu Chen thought that Ye Xiu was the only one sitting across from him. How could he have known that there was also the sly old fox Wei Chen. It was a 1v2. The fact that his hair hadn't turned white after a few days of negotiations was already a pretty good performance.
"Why do you only want these three? The other four are pretty good too! Leopold's character is actually very strong. 4840 skill points. That's pretty good in the pro scene! "Wu Chen tried his best to promote. He had completely immersed himself in his character. Because they knew that Heavenly Swords, who was hiding behind Happy, was the real deal, Team Everlasting's recent focus had been on studying Heavenly Swords. They observed the situation of Heavenly Swords' characters, estimated their needs, and understood the bargaining chips in their hands. This was what it meant to know yourself and know your enemy.
Heavenly Swords didn't have a Warlock, so Heavenly Swords probably didn't want Leopold's Silver equipment. As a result, Wu Chen wanted to sell all of it to Happy. Let alone the equipment, it would be best if he could even take the character Leopold.
"Ha ha, 4840? Our Windward Formation has 4920 skill points. Do you think I'd go around saying that? "Ye Xiu said.
"4920!!!" Wu Chen was shocked. 4900 skill points had always been seen as the threshold for skill points. No character had ever broken through it. But in last season's playoffs, Samsara's strong performance made people notice that their characters' strength had increased. Afterwards, Samsara personally admitted that their characters had broken through 4900 skill points.
The threshold had been broken, but that was last year's champion team. Happy, a lousy grassroots player, had a character with 4920 skill points. What kind of background did this team have?
"That's right, 4920 skill points. So you see, your characters are completely useless to us. Can you stop thinking about it? I want the cloak, belt, and shoes, three pieces. "Ye Xiu said.
"Okay … … I'll write it down first. Let's talk about the rest later!" Wu Chen was already feeling a bit powerless. Just the Warlock's equipment had been going back and forth for three days. But this wasn't Happy's only intention. There were other things!
"We've studied the list of materials you gave me that day. I think there's a bit of a problem … …" Negotiations always started with "a bit of a problem".
After an entire week, Everlasting and Happy finally reached an agreement. The Warlock Leopold's three pieces of Silver equipment: Hood of Repentance, Cloak of Endless Sorrow, and Spirit Boots were sold to Team Happy for 500,000.
Apart from this, Ye Xiu provided a list of materials. In the end, because Everlasting didn't have enough materials, after a few adjustments, the deal was completed for 200,000. Happy's robbery of Team Everlasting's misfortune came to an end. He had spent a total of 700,000 and received a very satisfactory return. Putting aside the three pieces of Warlock Silver equipment that could be used immediately, 200,000 in materials was the foundation for many pieces of equipment.
"It's a pity. The difference between your team's needs and ours is too great." After reaching an agreement, Ye Xiu said to Wu Chen unwillingly.
Wu Chen had fought against two old Glory veterans by himself. He was already exhausted, so he casually replied with an emoji.
"What's next? What are your plans?" Ye Xiu messaged.
"It's about time to eat, right?" Wu Chen glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of his computer screen.
"I'm talking about your Glory career. What plans do you have?" Ye Xiu said.
Wu Chen was startled. Ye Xiu's sudden personal question made him feel at a loss.
All of Team Everlasting's players seemed to have already made their plans. Especially He An. Wu Chen had heard that there were even pro teams in the Alliance interested in him!
But what about himself? Wu Chen really didn't know. His Glory career had always been with Team Everlasting. Wherever Team Everlasting went, he would go. He had never thought about what he would do when Team Everlasting was gone. Until now, when it really happened, Wu Chen realized that he had actually been avoiding this question. These days, he had been so busy, but also to prevent himself from thinking about this.
Team Everlasting was about to be gone. What should he do? Wu Chen thought. His gaze wandered around. It wouldn't be long before he had to move out of this familiar space. After that, he might never have the chance to come back.
"Do you still plan on being a pro player?"
On the screen, another line of words popped up.
A pro player? Wu Chen suddenly remembered. It wasn't like he didn't have any plans for the future. When Team Everlasting was relegated, he didn't leave. He wanted to return to the Alliance with the team and then happily play for another season. Then, it would be about time for him to retire.
He was already 25 years old, which was considered old among esports players. Although the lifespan of esports players in Glory had been increasing in recent years, 25 years old was still enough to play. However, Wu Chen wasn't some amazing player. He knew his own worth. His skill level wasn't top-notch to begin with. Now that he was older, his reactions were getting slower and slower, and his hand speed was getting slower and slower. He probably couldn't continue being a pro player.
Unfortunately, he wasn't some famous player. Many of those retired pro players still managed to find a foothold in the Glory scene. But for him, perhaps from now on, his interactions with Glory would only be playing in the game for a bit after work and reminiscing about his past as a member of the Glory scene.
These kinds of days were really boring...
Wu Chen was a bit lost in thought. After a while, he noticed that there was another line of words in the chat window: "If you don't want to leave Glory, you don't have to be a pro player!"
"What else can I do?" Wu Chen couldn't help but reply.
"Our guild is still lacking people." Ye Xiu replied.
Guild? An in-game guild?
