Ye Xiu had studied Glory for so many years. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run. Currently, the Clubs were researching self-made equipment on two fronts. On one hand, it was like Ye Xiu and Wei Chen, who relied on their experience and understanding of Glory. On the other hand, it was like Luo Ji had said, using mathematical knowledge to grasp the characteristics of each material. Every Club's R&D department usually had talents in these two areas. They complemented each other and completed all sorts of research related to Glory. It wasn't just limited to self-made equipment.
Happy, from a conceptual point of view, now also had the qualifications to do so. It was just that in terms of experience and understanding, Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were more than enough. But in terms of applying mathematical knowledge to Glory, Luo Ji had only just begun. This meant that he didn't have any accumulated data. And this data was the absolute secret of every Club's R&D department. Even if Ye Xiu had been the captain of the Excellent Era, he still didn't have access to this sort of information. Wei Chen didn't even need to be said. In his time, the R&D department didn't have that many technical skills. It was all based on pure experience.
"How about this for now." Luo Ji sent another message, "In the process of upgrading the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, sort out the materials used for each level. Then, list out the uses of these materials. What stats do you have for the items made from these materials? The more detailed, the better. I'll try to see if I can find a pattern. "
"Okay!" Ye Xiu simply replied with a single word, but Wei Chen's face turned green. Only those who had researched a Silver weapon would know how heavy the workload was.
"I'm not the only one." Ye Xiu looked at the green faced Wei Chen and said, "You should also sort out the uses of the materials you know. We still have a lot of Silver equipment to research!"
Wei Chen heard this and understood. Happy's database would be gradually built from this day onwards.
"I can't believe that we're actually becoming more and more like it!" Wei Chen suddenly felt like he had been cut off from the world for a lifetime. To be honest, when he was first roped in by Ye Xiu, he had the idea of dying after getting addicted. The more he understood the pro scene, the less confidence he had in a grassroots team. The current Glory pro scene was no longer the same as it was eight or nine years ago.
But along the way, Happy had built up players, equipment, funds, materials, and a guild from nothing. Today, they were even about to start building their database. Wei Chen suddenly realized that Happy had already become a small sparrow who had everything. Those who treated Happy as a grassroots team would definitely pay the price for their underestimation.
"Organize the materials!" Wei Chen's sudden shout startled everyone in the room. As it turned out, this guy had already buried his head in front of the computer and began to search for information on the Internet in his mind to sort out his years of research records.
"Organize the materials!" Before anyone could react, Ye Xiu also suddenly shouted and buried his head in front of the computer.
"What's up with these two?" Everyone in the room looked at each other. The only thing they could be sure of was that these two weren't crazy. Their expressions in front of the computer were so focused, even more so than when they were playing in the Challenger League.
The new week's Challenger League, which was also the final round of the online competition, finally arrived on Friday. Before the final round, Team Happy completed their last roster change. The Berserker Another Summer of Sleep appeared in Happy's roster. However, this sort of change in a Challenger League team wouldn't be noticed at all. Even the reporters who paid close attention to Happy didn't notice this change.
The final round of the online competition ended without any suspense. The twenty teams that had broken through the online competition and entered the offline competition had all been created. To be able to reach this step, the teams had to have some sort of foundation. However, for Happy, a team made up of players wasn't a threat. Apart from Excellent Era, Team Mysterious Fantasy, who had been relegated at the same time as Excellent Era, also made it into the list of twenty teams.
Mysterious Fantasy's relegation wasn't a miracle like Excellent Era's. Last season, they had been in last place for ninety percent of the time, not giving any other team a chance. Their relegation was undisputed. Their team's strength was also impeccable.
However, their weakness was only in relative terms.
Compared to a player team, they were still much stronger. However, in the pro scene, Mysterious Fantasy's strength was still inferior to Team Everlasting's. Team Everlasting had been in the Alliance for three years, while Mysterious Fantasy had only been in it for two years. In their first year, they had managed to keep their spot. Hiring a former pro player, Zhang Yiwei, as their coach was seen as a stroke of genius. With such an experienced former pro player guiding them, Team Everlasting's rookies adapted quite well in the first season. However, in the second year, Zhang Yiwei wasn't able to bring them back to life. Team Everlasting suffered a crushing defeat. The topic of whether a coach could change a team once again became a hot topic.
Normally, it wasn't easy for a relegated team to preserve their strength, but Mysterious Fantasy's roster was pretty much all intact. Rather than saying that the team had done a good job, it was more accurate to say that the other teams didn't show much interest in Mysterious Fantasy's players. Could Team Mysterious Fantasy, with their strength, shake Excellent Era in the Challenger League? Players were too lazy to think about this question. In the past, the two relegated teams in the same year would be the hottest topic in the Challenger League. But this year? Instead of watching Mysterious Fantasy, they might as well watch the grassroots team that was clamoring to topple Excellent Era!
After Mysterious Fantasy, the only team with a strong background was Team Jade Dynasty. Not only did Team Jade Dynasty have a strong background, it was a very strong one. Even Ye Xiu and Wei Chen felt a sense of familiarity when they saw Team Jade Dynasty's name. Team Jade Dynasty was a team that had been competing in the pro scene since the first season. With this experience, they instantly surpassed half of the teams in the Alliance.
However, compared to their experience, what made Jade Dynasty even more moving was their bumpy past.
In their first year in the Alliance, Team Jade Dynasty placed at the bottom. However, the relegation system hadn't been introduced in the first year, so they were able to participate the next year.
However, in the second year, the relegation system was introduced. Team Jade Dynasty placed at the bottom again and was relegated.
In the third year, Team Jade Dynasty participated in the Challenger League.
As a result, in the fourth year, they made it back. Then, they were relegated again.
In the fifth year of the Challenger League, they made it back to the Alliance. In the sixth year of the Alliance, they were once again relegated.
Team Jade Dynasty, who had been nicknamed the Kings of Revival, lost this "crown" in the seventh year. In that year's Challenger League, they failed and failed to revive.
In the eighth year, they failed once again.
Jade Dynasty hadn't disbanded yet. They once again participated in the ninth year, which was this year's Challenger League.
Nine years of pro Glory. Five years in the Challenger League. Jade Dynasty was definitely the team with the most experience in the Challenger League. However, the pro teams in the Alliance probably didn't pay much attention to Team Jade Dynasty's actual strength. Some teams might even have forgotten Team Jade Dynasty's name. A team that struggled even in the Challenger League. Even if they revived in the end, it didn't seem like they were worth the attention of the powerhouses in the Alliance.
Even Wei Chen stared blankly when he saw Team Jade Dynasty's name on the list of 20 teams.
"Is it that Jade Dynasty?" Wei Chen stared blankly.
"Yeah, it's that one." Ye Xiu said.
"They haven't disbanded yet?" Wei Chen said.
"Not yet." Ye Xiu said.
"They really are an opponent worthy of respect." Wei Chen was filled with deep veneration.
"Yeah."
"But if they get eliminated again, they should be disbanded, right?" Veneration was veneration, but he still had to spit it out.
"Who knows?" Ye Xiu said.
"Do you know anyone else on this team?" Wei Chen asked.
"I really don't know." Ye Xiu said. This was the third year that Team Jade Dynasty had struggled in the Challenger League. Ye Xiu didn't know what their current lineup was. Even in Season 6, when they met, this sort of bottom-feeder team didn't leave much of an impression on Ye Xiu.
"Who was there in the past?" Wei Chen tried hard to remember, but it was clear that a bottom-feeder team was just that small and invisible. In Wei Chen's limited professional memory, he only left a little space for Team Jade Dynasty to remember their names.
Team Jade Dynasty, the title of the Revival Kings, was nothing more than a joke. No one really paid attention to their true situation, especially after two consecutive years of unsuccessful revivals. There wasn't even a joke about them anymore. They were about to be completely forgotten.
"No matter what, we have to take them seriously." Ye Xiu said solemnly.
"Yeah, yeah, we'll take them seriously." Wei Chen nodded his head. Only he knew whether or not he was being perfunctory.
Excellent Era, Mysterious Fantasy, and Jade Dynasty were the 20 teams that had a pro background. Normally speaking, they were the powerhouses of the Challenger League. Apart from them, they were all player-made teams. They were truly grassroots. To be able to reach this stage meant that they had some skill. The big teams would also pay attention to their following performances. Who knows, some of them might be noticed by a team and become a pro player.
Unfortunately, among these grassroots teams, there wasn't a single team that was famous for mocking Excellent Era. This caused the offline competition to lose a huge part of the scenery. But speaking of which, compared to using a name to mock Excellent Era, directly claiming that they would challenge Excellent Era's Team Happy was the biggest mockery, no? Because Happy seemed to be serious!
The offline competition was about to begin. The big Glory media outlets were finally willing to give more space to the Challenger League. Excellent Era's luxury, Mysterious Fantasy's coach, Jade Dynasty's ups and downs, Happy's shameless boasting … … all of these became topics of interest. As for the Alliance, they began to officially contact the teams and inform them of the location and time of the offline competition.
And before that, there was one more important thing that was about to happen.
Drawing lots.
From a certain perspective, something that could decide a team's fate was about to happen.
