After a pro player retired, it was common for them to take up a position in one of the Club's departments. Usually, these opportunities would be given to loyal members of the team who had contributed a lot to the team, or those who were truly capable of doing the job.
Wu Chen originally had such hopes for his own future. He truly had feelings for Team Everlasting and hoped that he would never abandon it. But now, everything was for naught. Everlasting was about to cease to exist. How could there be such a job opportunity?
Wu Chen was currently on the last shift, and it was no longer his responsibility as the captain. If he chose to leave as a pro player, the team wouldn't have any objections. But where would he go if he left? Wu Chen was still at a loss. He was running away. And now, Ye Xiu suddenly gave him a choice.
The guild …...
Wu Chen obviously knew that even if a guild was established in-game, it was no different from a guild established by other players. It was an important foundation for a team's success. The person in charge of the guild was definitely the core of the Club's management. Their importance was no less than that of the other departments.
But to be honest, what Wu Chen was looking forward to was continuing to develop with Team Everlasting. If it was another team, he wouldn't be interested in these things. He was already used to tying everything related to Glory to Everlasting.
But now, he really couldn't do that. This cruel reality forced him to make some real considerations. In comparison, if he could continue to make a living in the Glory scene, this was still his first choice. But Wu Chen was just a small character. The pro teams probably wouldn't give him this kind of job opportunity. Only a new team like Happy would.
But Happy was the main culprit behind Team Everlasting's disbandment. Even though Wu Chen was rational, it was still hard for him to accept suddenly working for Happy.
Just as he was about to type to decline, another message popped up in the chat window: "Starting from scratch together, this feeling is great!"
Wu Chen's heart suddenly started beating again. Once upon a time, Team Everlasting had been like this. From nothing to something, from players to characters, little by little. Even though their record had always been miserable, they never gave up. Even though they failed in the end, those memories were still especially beautiful.
I'm looking forward to it!
Wu Chen was tempted. He knew that such opportunities were rare. Now, he just happened to be here. Otherwise, with his obscure status, no one would have thought of him.
"Think about it!" On the other end of the screen, seeing that Wu Chen didn't reply, he didn't rush him or ask if he was there. He just left the words he wanted to say one by one.
"Okay …" After Wu Chen's final response, the other side sent a waving goodbye emoji and disappeared.
Wu Chen sank into contemplation of his own future. As for Team Everlasting, after completing the trade with Happy, they smoothly met up with Team Heavenly Swords and began negotiating.
This was Team Everlasting's most important negotiation. Team Everlasting's boss was going to personally participate. All of the staff were working together on this matter.
Day after day passed. Team Everlasting and Team Heavenly Swords finally reached an agreement. Heavenly Swords didn't take all of Team Everlasting's goods, but for 10 million RMB, Team Everlasting was quite satisfied with 50% of the goods.
Compared to the normal market price, the price was much lower. However, they were going to disband. Selling these goods for 10 million RMB was already pretty good. Team Everlasting wasn't some gold-plated brand. If they were a powerhouse team, let alone the goods, someone might even take over the entire team. It was a brand effect!
After the trade with Team Heavenly Swords, the stone in Everlasting's heart finally fell to the ground. They didn't haggle over the following goods. Team Everlasting took the initiative to sell the goods everywhere. The accounts with the Club's internal staff had already begun. The staff members left one by one. The pro players also left one by one. The last one was Wu Chen. Unlike the others, Wu Chen's accounts were personally handled by Everlasting's boss.
In the large strategy meeting room, only the boss remained. When Wu Chen entered, he saw the boss standing in front of the projection screen in a daze, looking up at the Team Everlasting emblem hanging on the wall.
Wu Chen didn't say anything. He just silently walked over. The boss noticed his arrival and didn't greet him politely. The two had been old friends for many years.
"Look at this team emblem. Isn't it a bit crooked?" The boss didn't turn his head and spoke to Wu Chen.
"How could it be? It's fixed in a triangle. It can't move." Wu Chen didn't even look at it. He had personally installed that team emblem when their team moved here. He couldn't be any clearer.
"Oh, is that so?" The boss tilted his head and looked at it for a while, "Then I'm probably seeing things."
Wu Chen didn't reply. The boss walked back to the table and asked: "What are your plans for the future?"
"I haven't decided yet. What about you?" Wu Chen asked.
"Me? If there's a day when I have the chance, I want to create another team. "The boss said.
"Will you still be called Everlasting?" Wu Chen laughed.
"Of course." The boss said.
"Then remember to leave a spot for me." Wu Chen said.
"That's for sure." The boss also laughed. Team Everlasting didn't have a long history, but they had experienced many changes. The only thing that hadn't changed was the team name, the team emblem, and this loyal old member in front of him.
"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to play by then." Wu Chen said.
"Don't be afraid. The team doesn't only need pro players. With your ability, you can contribute to the team in many ways." The boss said.
"Yeah..."
Wu Chen replied thoughtfully. The boss noticed his expression and immediately guessed: "There's already a team that's invited you to do this?"
"Yes." Wu Chen nodded. He didn't need to hide it.
"What do they want you to do?" The boss asked.
"Probably something related to the guild." Wu Chen said.
"Go! It suits you very well. " The boss nodded with certainty. He obviously knew of Wu Chen's ability in this area. If he didn't respect Wu Chen's opinion, he would have been the manager of the Club.
"The one who invited me was Happy." Wu Chen smiled bitterly.
The boss stared blankly. He was clearly surprised by this answer. He quickly wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "Happy ….. That's not good. They're a Challenger League team right now, but they had an Excellent Era in the Challenger League this season! If they didn't advance in the end, would their team still be able to continue? I think you should figure this out first. "
The boss only talked about Happy's future prospects with Wu Chen. He didn't mention the special significance this team had for Team Everlasting. Wu Chen instantly understood the boss' attitude. What he said was on the surface. What he didn't say was telling Wu Chen: don't mind those things at all.
"Okay, I'll think it over." Wu Chen smiled.
"That's good." The boss nodded with a smile. He understood that Wu Chen understood what he meant.
"The team's management is pretty much done these past few days." Everlasting's boss changed the topic and began to talk about official business, "The offers we've received so far, we'll just talk about them as best we can. There's no point in accepting more. We can't even calculate the time and manpower we'll lose. So I'm thinking, if there's anything left over, I'll leave it all to you! "
"Me?" Wu Chen stared blankly.
"Find a good team and run it well with them." Everlasting's boss patted Wu Chen's shoulder.
In this instant, Wu Chen understood. When the boss said that he would create another team one day, it really was just a thought. The current situation was more like letting Wu Chen carry Everlasting's final belongings and continue walking in the Glory circle.
"I'll leave it all to you." Everlasting's boss extended his hand. Wu Chen shook his hand in a daze. The boss firmly shook his hand and nodded: "I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. The things are over there …... good luck!"
The boss left. Wu Chen walked over and looked at the pile of items on the table. Apart from the items for each player, there were also two exquisite card boxes. On top of each card box was an engraving of words. One was "None" and the other was "Everlasting". He opened the two card boxes and saw that they were filled with account cards. He immediately recognized the one at the top. It was the character he had used for many years and had just returned to the Club a few days ago: Launcher Dawn Rifle.
As for the other account cards, apart from the few pro characters that had been traded away, the rest were all from the guild. The team was about to disband. Guild Everlasting's existence obviously didn't have much meaning.
Was this really the only way?
Watching the boss leave, the half-closed door, and the team emblem hanging on the wall, Wu Chen sighed deeply for the last time.
Two days later, City H, Happy Internet Cafe.
Wu Chen carried his luggage in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. He carefully compared it and after confirming that it was the correct address, he walked in.
The Internet Cafe was bustling with noise and excitement. After Team Happy defeated Everlasting and attracted the attention of the Esports Home, Happy Internet Cafe's business suddenly boomed. And this time, the people who came weren't face slappers, but rather people who were curious about Happy's team. They were people who were looking forward to it.
The Internet Cafe's atmosphere changed. Chen Guo was happy to come back often. With her personality, she immediately got along well with the people who were looking forward to seeing them Happy.
At this moment, Chen Guo was leaning over the cashier's counter, counting this month's income. She was happy that the team's results were outstanding. She was also happy that the Internet Cafe's business was good. Just as she was feeling happy, she heard a voice above her head.
"Is Team Happy here? My name is Wu Chen. I said I would come today. "
