Gale Legion had lost, but this didn't mean that there wouldn't be a second match. After all, there was still a theoretical possibility that Gale Legion could win. For example, in the individual rounds, they could win the group matches without taking any damage. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
After the match with Gale Legion, there was a 10-day break. During this time, Drizzle Court would have their second match with The Capital of Glory.
After this match, Gale Legion wasn't in a hurry to go back. Perhaps it was because they wanted to eat away Ruling Sword's money, but they actually stayed in Jiangnan City for three whole days. Apart from ensuring that they were online during the game, they spent the rest of their time playing and eating.
Ruling Sword was the host, so these expenses were all borne by them.
Lu Li looked at the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on eating, drinking, and playing. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone this shameless.
After three days, Gale Legion rubbed their round bellies as they embarked on their journey home. The first season of the Dawnlight League had also ushered in the battle between The Capital of Glory and Drizzle Court. They were one step closer to the championship!
In fact, for many teams, being able to reach this point was already very satisfying. From the start of the top 100 matches, there was a considerable amount of prize money and ticket revenue. If the individual had a good image, there might even be more lucrative endorsement contracts waiting for them.
As the competition neared its end, the major clubs began to make their move.
Specifically, they would meet with various headhunters and start looking for prey that was suitable for their club based on the performance of the professional players this season.
In particular, Ruling Sword had firmly attracted the attention of the sharks.
For a long time, the benefits of new teams were generally average. The players who grew up with the new battles were not equal in terms of income. In addition, there were various flaws in the benefits and regulations, so it was inevitable that they would be full of resentment. At this time, as long as the headhunters promised tempting prospects, it was very easy to poach a new team away.
There were three stages of pain for a new team: the first was to form, the second was to have funds, and the third was to poach players.
When a new team was formed, they would be suppressed by the older teams. Ruling Sword wasn't that serious in this regard, because they were a team that wasn't normally formed. They had won the Shadow Cup as a mercenary group and then formed a guild.
By the time everyone noticed him, he had already soared into the sky. The suppression was too obvious, and it was too late.
Ruling Sword had always been troubled by the lack of funds. There were a lot of things that they wanted to do, but they couldn't put them into practice. It wasn't easy for them to earn some money, but once they got it, they would spend it all.
Some clubs couldn't bear this pain. They chose to introduce external capital injections to solve the funding problem to a certain extent. But what followed was another kind of pain that wasn't fatal, but was always accompanied by a new kind of pain — capital.
Even the Capital of Glory was affected by the capital's interference. It was just that Xiao Mo's personal authority was more important and he had a lot of say, so it didn't affect the development of the guild.
The third pain finally found its way to Ruling Sword during the spring transfer season.
Genhao San told Lu Li worriedly that someone had seen Fei Houzi drinking and eating with a few people who were suspected to be headhunters. After that, they went to a KTV and didn't come back until very late. Cat Dad had a lot of social events recently, so it was possible that this old fox had found someone else …
Sanyue Yu, Moonlight, Sakura Memories, Mu Qiu and almost every other Ruling Sword player besides Lu Li had been secretly contacted.
When Genhao San poured a glass of water for Lu Li, his hands were shaking. He had already expected this pain, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly and at such a sensitive time.
Even if the poaching wasn't successful, it would still have a huge impact on the hearts of the players. Who could remain indifferent to the treatment of a captain and an annual salary of millions?
What's more, Ruling Sword wasn't an egg without a seam.
When the Mercenary Group was first established, the veterans of the mercenary group all received original shares. Those who joined later didn't get any. It wasn't that Lu Li couldn't afford it – he still had a lot in his hands. It wouldn't affect his absolute control over Ruling Sword for a while, but he couldn't open this door. Once he did, he would have to give in to those who joined in the future.
It was also impossible to take back the shares that had already been given out, because there weren't many of them in the first place.
Genhao San had once expressed his willingness to come forward and persuade the holders of the original shares, but Lu Li refused. They were all people who had accompanied him all the way to this point. He couldn't forgive them for doing something like this after they became rich.
Creating a top club that belonged to him was his dream.
For the sake of this dream, he could work hard, but he refused to use any means to achieve it. In this world, people should do what they wanted to do, and it was meaningless to force themselves to change.
When the time came, the club that he created would lose its purpose.
"Let's have a meal. Let's have a meal together," Lu Li said, then paused and said, "Let's have Cat Dad too. He won't leave even if we kick him out. He just wants the status."
Genhao San opened his mouth and slowly understood what Lu Li was talking about.
Ruling Sword's Ruling Sword's Ruling Hall was hung on the door frame outside the hall. It added a sense of solemnity to the ancient decorations of the hall. Everyone jokingly called this place the Punishment Hall, but it was actually a place for meetings and meals.
"Hey, the Boss is treating us to a meal. I can smell the aroma from the kitchen, and it must be the chef from the Goldfinch Restaurant. I've eaten there twice and I still can't stop thinking about it. It's just that the prices are so damn expensive," Fei Houzi said as he rubbed his nose and swallowed.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't eat dinner to lose weight? You even said that if you eat dinner, you'll go to a nightclub and meet a ladyboy. You'll just sit on the side and watch us eat," Kitty Likes Meat said, pouring cold water on him.
Both of them were gluttons, but the difference was that Kitty Likes Meat didn't get fat no matter how much she ate. She never weighed more than 100kg, but Fei Houzi was different. His current weight was already close to 0.1 tonnes. Fortunately, the game corrected his body size, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to compete.
"Don't talk nonsense. I never go to a nightclub. That's all nonsense," Fei Houzi said, wanting to cover Kitty Likes Meat's mouth.
The others looked at Fat Monkey in a very strange way. This person was really elegant and refined. Even his swearing had such a personality. Going to a nightclub and meeting a ladyboy, he wouldn't hesitate to have sex with him even if he had to hold back his tears.
"The Boss is treating us to a meal. Something must have happened. He's such a stingy person," Sakura Memories said.
