With Glory as a common language, Ye Xiu's group and Heavenly Swords' Lou Guanning's group naturally had plenty to talk about. Just as Chen Guo said, eating wasn't the main point.
That night, they still hadn't finished chatting. Lou Guanning immediately invited the four to visit Team Heavenly Swords tomorrow. After all, City B was Heavenly Swords' home ground. The All-Star Weekend was held at night, so everyone had nothing to do during the day.
Ye Xiu's group obviously had no reason to refuse. As a result, after setting a time for the next day, the two sides temporarily returned to their respective residences.
The next morning, Lou Guanning drove his own car to the hotel and brought Ye Xiu's group to Heavenly Swords' base.
"How was it? Not bad, right?" Lou Guanning stood under the team emblem at the entrance of Heavenly Swords' base with a face full of pride. Heavenly Swords' team emblem was the same as Guild Heavenly Swords' in-game guild symbol. It was a thumbnail of the famous greatsword Swordpoint. However, the person who made the picture was clearly skilled. Even when it was reduced to the size of the in-game guild symbol, people could still recognize it at a glance. As for Heavenly Swords' team emblem, it was taller than the person. That Swordpoint was even larger than the actual sword in the game.
"Look, that's our stadium." Lou Guanning then pointed in another direction. It was a grand stadium that didn't lose out to Micrograss's stadium.
"Amazing!" Ye Xiu praised. He wasn't being perfunctory. From this stadium, he could see Lou Guanning's smugness towards Glory. This was because in the Alliance, not every pro team had their own stadium. Many teams rented the local stadium as their home ground.
This was because the cost of building a stadium that was commonly seen in the Alliance was in the hundreds of millions. This wasn't something any Club could afford. In the Alliance, only a few powerhouses had their own stadiums. Moreover, these stadiums weren't only used for Glory matches. They were all multi-purpose stadiums. During non-match days, they were often rented out for various activities. This was also an important source of income for Clubs.
Heavenly Swords was a new addition to the Alliance. Their future was uncertain, yet they were willing to spend such a huge amount of money to create their own competition venue. Lou Guanning had never been a spendthrift. His willingness to do this showed his determination for Glory.
"Let's go to the arena and take a look first?" Lou Guanning asked.
"There will be chances to come back in the future." Ye Xiu smiled.
Lou Guanning stared blankly for a moment before he understood. He smiled and said, "When the time comes, you must show mercy!"
"How much are you paying?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Holy sh * t!" Lou Guanning shrunk his head and looked around as if he had seen a ghost. "If the Alliance catches this conversation, they'll definitely be punished, right?"
"Hahaha, of course." Ye Xiu obviously knew the rules of the Alliance. Any conversation between more than two people would definitely be considered an insult to the competitive spirit and would result in heavy punishment. This was under the condition that both parties were only joking. If they were serious, they would have to bear legal responsibility.
"Let's hurry up and go … …" Lou Guanning hastily led everyone inside, as if they would be discovered by the Alliance at any moment.
If Lou Guanning was willing to spend so much money on a competition venue, how could the facilities in the base be lacking?
After passing through a relaxing green belt, they finally arrived at Heavenly Swords' grand training center. On the way, Chen Guo felt ashamed of herself. Compared to them, what was the "mansion" she had spent a "huge amount of money" to rent! Team Happy's players were really pitiful … …
Thinking of this, Chen Guo couldn't help but sneak a glance at Happy's players. However, the three of them had normal expressions. After Bao Zi saw the training center, he even complained: "Why did they make it so far away! Happy's a lot more convenient. It's just a few steps from the entrance of the neighborhood. "
"Neighborhood?" Lou Guanning was at a loss.
"Yeah! Forest Court, a high-end neighborhood! " Baozi looked much prouder than Lou Guanning, who had been standing under Team Heavenly Swords' emblem and pointing at their own competition venue.
"Baozi, shut up!" Chen Guo felt even more embarrassed. Even though she knew the difference between the two sides was like heaven and earth, Chen Guo couldn't help but compare herself to Lou Guanning. The comparison naturally made her want to cry. However, Baozi was still proud, making Chen Guo feel like she had been stabbed in the back.
"Hm?" Baozi was at a loss and scratched his head.
"Come, come. Please come inside." Lou Guanning didn't know the inside story and hastily changed the topic to invite everyone inside.
The facilities inside were naturally luxurious. There wasn't a leisure area or a fitness area. Happy didn't exist at all. Chen Guo once again felt ashamed of her inferiority. In the end, Baozi opened his mouth and instantly killed her: "I say, where's the computer?"
"Ah? We're almost there … … "Lou Guanning said awkwardly and quickened his steps.
Soon, they arrived at Team Heavenly Swords' practice room. A bunch of players were already there. This time, it wasn't just the five-player team. The other six players that Lou Guanning had recruited were also there. Even though these players weren't famous, they were still at a pro level. Pretty much all of them had played in pro teams before. Even though they hadn't directly participated in Team Happy, they were still members of Team Heavenly Swords, so they were quite clear about it.
After greeting each other, they sat down. They didn't talk about anything other than Glory.
With such a good environment and such good conditions, if they only talked about not practicing, it wouldn't be right. After a few words, everyone was itching to practice.
"How about a round?" Lou Guanning said.
Ye Xiu didn't even have time to respond, when a loud laughter came from outside the practice room: "Hahahaha, I'm here again. Where's Old Lou? Hurry up and come out. "
"Hm?" Ye Xiu didn't understand. He looked towards Lou Guanning, only to see Lou Guanning's face full of misfortune. He strode over to close the door, but the other side had already walked to the door and pushed it open: "Hey hey! What are you doing? I saw you. Don't hide! "
Lou Guanning could only helplessly let him in. Thus, a well-dressed, flamboyant looking guy who completely fit the definition of a dandy in people's hearts walked in swaggeringly. He casually scanned the room. He clearly wasn't unfamiliar with the Heavenly Swords players. He politely greeted Zou Yunhai and the others. The other six Heavenly Swords players ignored him. Then, his gaze fell onto Happy's group. Chen Guo and Tang Rou, the two beauties, made this guy's eyes light up.
"Oh my, Old Lou, you're recruiting again! The quality of the people who came this time seems pretty good! "The newcomer said.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Lou Guanning asked.
"Ha ha ha, you're scared!" The newcomer said.
"I'm just annoyed, okay?" Lou Guanning said.
"I'm doing this for your own good! Look at your team. With your current results, even if you don't find it embarrassing, I'm embarrassed for you. What you need to do right now is to improve your skill level. "The newcomer had a lecturing expression.
This person's attitude was clearly very annoying. With Chen Guo's temper, she would have already flipped out in her own territory. But now that it was Lou Guanning's territory, she didn't get angry. Hearing this, she was surprised. From this person's words, it seemed like he had some skill.
But before she could say anything else, this person waved his hand: "Wait a bit. I need to go to the toilet. I'll be right back!" After saying this, he ran out of the door to the toilet. He was so familiar with the place, it was as if Heavenly Swords was his home.
"This person is?" Ye Xiu and the others couldn't help but be puzzled.
Lou Guanning had a helpless expression: "He's my childhood friend. We grew up together. Now that I'm creating a team, his hobby is to find all sorts of opportunities to attack me. When he has nothing to do, he'll introduce experts to us. It's so annoying."
"What's wrong with that?" Chen Guo didn't understand.
Lou Guanning's face was gloomy: "Because as long as we lose once, this guy can go on and on about it for a year!"
"How many times have you lost?" Chen Guo asked.
Lou Guanning's face looked as if he couldn't bear to look back: "Three times … … even though the people he found weren't particularly skilled, there's always a time when you lose, right … …"
"Xiao Bei, you shouldn't have lost that time." Zou Yunhai said.
"That time when Everlasting lost wasn't any better!" Wen Kebei complained about his own injustice and changed the topic.
"The time when Old Lou personally lost was the most important!" Gu Xiye also transferred her hatred.
The few of them complained and pushed the blame onto each other. This clearly wasn't the right attitude for a team. However, it could also be seen that this was because no one took it seriously, but they still felt a bit annoyed, which was why they pushed the blame onto each other.
"This time, who knows who he found this time!"
"Old Lou, hurry up and lock the door!"
"I locked it last time too, but this guy set up a tent outside and almost made a barbecue grill."
The five of them were all talking at once. The others couldn't join in at all. Those with a bit of insight could see that even though Lou Guanning's group of five expressed annoyance towards this guy, there was no doubt that they were friends, and close friends at that. What kind of person could casually barge into the team's training room without saying anything?
However, from this person's actions, this was a bad friend.
As the five of them discussed, this bad friend's voice echoed from outside the door: "I'm back. Old Lou, are you ready? This time, don't run. I'll challenge you!"
"Oh oh oh, Old Lou." The other four dispersed.
"I don't have time." Lou Guanning replied roughly.
"Haha, I don't think it'll take up too much of your time." The newcomer laughed as he entered the room.
"Old Lou, you can't take this lying down. Go!" The other four saw that this time, they were specifically targeting Lou Guanning and began to jeer.
Lou Guanning's heart skipped a beat. He walked around in a circle and sat down at a computer: "Where are your people? Hurry up and come!"
As he spoke, he took out his account card, but first logged into QQ.
"Great God, help me teach this brat a lesson!" Lou Guanning sent a message to Ye Xiu. Then, he threw the card on the table. Under the cover of a row of monitors, it slid over to Ye Xiu, who was fiddling with his computer as if no one else was there.
"Isn't that too cruel?" As expected, Ye Xiu's QQ was logged in, so he replied.
"Yeah, the crueler the better. If you can kill him in one second, don't use one and a half seconds!" Lou Guanning replied.
