In a corner of the bar.
Ouyang Heng sat in the bar, accompanied by his friends, Lin Haoyang, Wu Chaojie, and the others.
Looking at Ouyang Heng's expression, he seemed to have walked out of the depression of losing the finals. When the bar owner, Li Xue, personally brought over a tray of wine, he touched Li Xue's perky buttocks.
Wu Chaojie didn't notice this, but it couldn't escape Lin Haoyang's perception. He shook his head and said, "Looks like you don't need any consolation."
Wu Chaojie laughed and said, "Boss, although the ending of the University League wasn't perfect, the results in the past two years are still obvious to all. Many guilds have been chasing boss to sign a contract. He's a busy man now. "
Ouyang Heng smiled and said, "Haoyang found his next club before the semi-finals and signed a contract. Otherwise, there would be many guilds looking for you. "
Lin Haoyang said, "I signed in advance because I thought I couldn't win the championship …"
That was the truth. The reason why Ouyang Heng pushed the signing time to after the tournament was to use the momentum of winning the CUAA championship to increase his bargaining chip.
Although there were some accidents in the end and he didn't win the championship as he wished, Ouyang Heng's strength was still the strongest among this year's university graduates. It was reasonable for guilds to chase after him.
Lin Haoyang said again, "You're so busy, but you still have time to hang out? Shouldn't you hurry up and negotiate with those big guilds? "
Wu Chaojie said, "Boss made an appointment with them to talk here."
"Here?" Lin Haoyang looked around. "It seems a bit too casual. Won't those guild representatives feel like they're not valued?"
Ou Yangheng waved his hand and smiled indifferently. "What does that have to do with anything? A guild that values me will naturally have to show enough sincerity. If they can't even find a place to negotiate, how can they value me? This is also a screening threshold. I'll let Sister Xue check for me. "
"Okay. Since you want to talk business, I'll go first. "Lin Haoyang stood up.
"Let's meet again next time." Ouyang Heng nodded slightly.
When Lin Haoyang left the bar, he bumped into a group of people. They were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, which did not fit in with the casual and quiet atmosphere created by the soothing music in the bar.
This group of people was obviously here to negotiate with Ouyang Heng. When the man in a suit saw Ouyang Heng, he quickly walked over.
Lin Haoyang didn't speak much on the surface, but in fact, he was very curious. To put it bluntly, he was a man of few words. He didn't walk out of the bar. Instead, he flashed into the bathroom. Under the concentration of his spiritual power, the low voices of the conversation drilled into his ears.
"Hello, Ouyang Heng. I'm Ye Yongchao, the manager of Swallow Cloud Guild's HR Department. I'm here to …"
Ouyang Heng's voice sounded, "I know. I know exactly why Manager Ye is here. However, I've also made an appointment with others. It won't be too late to start the discussion when everyone is here. "
"… Alright."
Lin Haoyang waited patiently and listened carefully. A few more groups of people arrived one after another. They were all representatives from various large and small guilds.
Among them, there were three that were more impressive. They were Swallow Cloud Guild, Misty Rain Guild, and Southern Cross Guild.
Lin Haoyang secretly thought that there should be more than these three big guilds chasing after Ouyang Heng. Perhaps some of the guilds had already been filtered out and didn't meet Ouyang Heng's expectations.
"Thank you for your attention. As I'm a little short on time, I'll be going to the Spiritual Realm soon to train, so I'll make it short. "
Ouyang Heng's voice was filled with confidence, "Everyone here is a representative from various guilds. You're all here to invite me to join your guild. Next, I'll consider two aspects. One is the guild's background and strength, and the other is the guild's position towards me, as well as the training plan … "
After Ouyang Heng spoke, the big and small guilds' representatives all spoke up. The scene was a little chaotic for a moment.
"Swallow Cloud Guild is located in Beijing, in the center of Hua Xia. It's a good location and has all kinds of secret places and strengthening resources. As for the guild's strength, Swallow Cloud Guild itself is a strong team in the First League. In the last league, they were in the top eight. Joining us is the wisest choice for Student Ouyang … "
"Swallow Cloud Guild's main members are still in their prime. If Student Ouyang joins Swallow Cloud Guild, you'll have to start as a substitute. Even if you enter the main team later on, you'll only be a foil. Why don't you consider our Swift Pass Guild? We promise to train you as a core member … "
"Swift Pass? I've never heard of this team. They can't even make it into the First League, right? Our Southern Cross Guild's main force is about to retire. Their position is similar to Student Ouyang's, they're both violent fighters. After Student Ouyang joins us, you'll be trained as a future core member … "
Lin Haoyang couldn't help but sigh when he heard the enthusiasm of the big and small guilds' representatives. Although he and Ouyang Heng had grown up together, it was precisely because they were friends that there was competition. Ouyang Heng had always been on top of him, and now it was the same during graduation season …
Beep beep beep. Lin Haoyang's phone vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was Fang Ziyi calling.
Lin Haoyang hid in the bathroom a little guiltily and answered the call.
"Ziyi."
On the other side of the phone, Fang Ziyi's voice was very short. "Have you seen the news in the virtual community, Haoyang?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"Bai Xiaowen announced that he's going to graduate early!"
"Oh, I got it …"
Lin Haoyang replied casually, then suddenly realized something.
"Wait a minute! Bai Xiaowen is only a freshman this year. He's going to graduate early?! "
"Yes, this is his last semester. He's confirmed that he won't be participating in the CUAA League next year. He'll be transferring to the Pro League …" Fang Ziyi spoke as fast as a bullet. "Oh my god, I really don't understand what he's thinking. He can already do whatever he wants in the CUAA League. Why is he leaving early?"
Lin Haoyang murmured, "Now he's in the same year as us."
"Yes, since we're in the same year, it's inevitable that we'll be compared … Fortunately, we signed the contract before the semifinals, so we won't be affected," Fang Ziyi said.
"Has Bai Xiaowen decided to join a guild?" Lin Haoyang asked.
"No news yet," Fang Ziyi said.
"This is going to be interesting …"
Lin Haoyang hung up the phone and logged into the CUAA League section of the virtual community. As expected, he saw a piece of news that had been forwarded many times and was at the top of the list.
[New Champion Bai Xiaowen Plans to Graduate Early or Enter the Pro League]
After carefully reading the news article written by the reporter named "Wei Xiaoxiao", Lin Haoyang was 80 to 90 percent sure of it.
He closed his phone and walked out of the bathroom. He walked through the corridor and left the bar.
It didn't matter what the guild representatives talked about with Ouyang Heng. He could already guess what would happen next.
"In the future, I'll also meet Bai Xiaowen in the Pro League … Not only him, but there will be even more powerful opponents. I have to strengthen my training and buy more Spiritual Realm Tickets to increase my strength as soon as possible! In the Pro League, I don't want to lose to anyone … "
…
The negotiations in the bar continued.
Seeing the various Guild representatives tossing out generous conditions one after another, even competing with each other until their faces turned red, Ou Yangheng's mood greatly improved.
"I enjoy the feeling of being sought after."
Ouyang Heng muttered in his heart.
At this moment, the last representative had finished speaking. Ouyang Heng raised his hand and smiled. "Everyone's conditions are very good. Now, I want to reiterate two points. First, I will only accept invitations from A-Class guilds. Second, I hope to become the core of the team within two years. This must be written in the contract … "
Buzz buzz.
Ye Yongchao's phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID on the screen and his expression became serious. He said softly, "Sorry, I have to take this call."
Coincidentally, the HR manager of the Southern Cross Guild, Zheng Chengzhi's phone also vibrated. He also apologized and ran to the side to take the call.
It was like a contagious disease. More than half of the guild representatives stopped the negotiations and ran out to take the call. In an instant, only a few people were left in front of Ouyang Heng.
"What's going on?" Ouyang Heng was stunned.
Wu Chaojie smiled. "Boss, isn't it obvious? They can't make the decision on these conditions. They can only ask the boss … They didn't directly refuse. This means that the conditions are within their scope of negotiation. "
Ou Yangheng smiled and nodded. He then looked at the several Guild representatives before him with a sense of superiority. These people didn't call to ask for instructions.
"Everyone, please wait for a while. We'll talk when the other guild representatives come back." Ouyang Heng was confident of victory.
The few people looked at each other. Someone stood up, apologized, and left.
Ouyang Heng didn't mind. The other party was a B-Class guild representative. After hearing his two conditions, they probably thought that there was no hope and left. Ouyang Heng muttered in his heart. Who gave a B-Class guild the courage to fight for the title of CUAA's strongest player?
Not long after, Ye Yongchao and the others came back.
"Have you all made up your minds?" Ou Yangheng held these representatives of Grade A Guilds in high regard.
"Sorry …" Ye Yongchao picked up the jacket on the back of the chair. "I suddenly have something urgent to deal with. I'll leave first."
“？”
"I also received a call from the guild. There's something urgent to deal with. Student Ouyang, the doors of our Southern Cross Guild will always be open to you … if you can lower your requirements. "Zheng Chengzhi said and left in a hurry.
“？？”
"Sorry, excuse me. We'll talk another day." Misty Rain's representative also left.
“？？？”
Some of the representatives of the remaining guilds received text messages, while others received emails. They whispered a few words to each other before taking their leave one after another.
Ou Yangheng and Wu Chaojie were dumbfounded (black face with a question mark).
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
His phone rang. Ouyang Heng received a voice message. Lin Haoyang had sent him a message.
After reading this message, Ouyang Heng was silent for a long time.
…
In front of the Capital's teleportation circle.
"Senior Qiao Rui, thank you for seeing us off." Bai Xiaowen reached out to grab Qiao Rui's hand and shook it lightly.
Li Shuyi whispered, "Senior Qiao Rui, don't worry too much about what happened on the Internet. Anyone with eyes can see that Wu Chaojie and the others made it up."
Qiao Rui brushed her hair behind her ear and smiled. "It's okay. I don't care anymore."
"That's good. If it were me, I'd be angry for a few days, "Li Shuyi said.
Qiao Rui stared at Bai Xiaowen for a long time.
"Xiaowen, I'll give you something as a parting gift. Please don't refuse it. "
Qiao Rui reached out and an ordinary-looking gray stone appeared in her palm.
Bai Xiaowen was stunned. "This is …" He activated Insight.
[Mysterious Stone: Special Item. Rich Psionic Energy is sealed in this stone.]
"It's just an ordinary stone. A parting gift." Qiao Rui's smile had a hint of mystery.
"Then I'll accept it. As a return gift, I hope you'll accept my gift as well. "
Bai Xiaowen put away the Mysterious Stone and handed a [Town Portal Scroll] to Qiao Rui.
Back then, Bai Xiaowen had exchanged for a total of three Town Portal Scrolls. He and Li Shuyi each had one as a backup and had never used it.
He originally wanted to sell the extra scroll in an auction or in the Virtual Lobby. However, Bai Xiaowen did not lack Psionic Energy points, so he kept it and did not sell it. After all, it was a valuable item.
The value of a Town Portal Scroll was hard to estimate, but no one would complain about having too many.
Qiao Rui hesitated for a moment, but she didn't refuse. Instead, she took the Return Scroll.
"Senior, there's something I'd like to discuss with you …"
Bai Xiaowen looked at Qiao Rui's slender eyes. "I plan to graduate early and participate in the Pro League. I'll build a team from scratch. Currently, there are only three confirmed members in the team: me, Han Xu, and Li Shuyi … "
"You want me to join?" Qiao Rui asked.
"Yes, I hope you can join," Bai Xiaowen said seriously.
"I'll think about it." Qiao Rui chuckled. "I'd prefer to find a permanent teammate to explore the Spiritual World and participate in the Pro League together."
The hint in this sentence seemed a little obvious.
Bai Xiaowen sighed. "I really want to invite you to join my permanent Spirit Realm team, but it's a pity that my Spirit Realm team only has two spots, and they're all full. In the future, the Spiritual World team will be able to level up. When the number of spots increases, I'll be the first to invite you … "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen smiled. "That's why we should start cultivating chemistry from now on. We'll start with the Earth League team."
"Don't worry, I haven't decided if I want to join you …" Qiao Rui restrained herself appropriately. "It'll depend on fate. If we meet in the Spiritual World in the future … I'll join you. "
"This probability …" Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If fate wills it, we'll definitely meet." Qiao Rui smiled playfully.
"The teleportation portal is ready. It's time to go back." Yan Xiaoxin walked over.
How should she describe Yan Xiaoxin's mood recently? Ice and fire.
Bai Xiaowen had led the team and won the championship, giving her too many surprises. She had thought that it would take two years of hard work and wait until the golden generation graduated before they could show results. She did not expect Bai Xiaowen to help the school win the golden CUAA championship in his first year.
