The virtual stocks solved the problem that Lu Li had been unable to solve for a long time. It also solved the club's current lack of funds. Everyone didn't complain about spending the money, but instead, they were more motivated. As such, the meeting ended successfully and everyone was happy.
However, just because the competition was over didn't mean that they could slack off. Lu Li casually said a few words and was ready to end the meeting so that everyone could go back into the game to level up.
"How's the Fire Resistance Potion coming along with Liang Bing?" Lu Li asked.
"It's almost ready. You guys should be able to clear Blackrock Spire once," Genhao San said. Apart from watching the competition, he had been busy with this.
Although the competition was important, they couldn't slack off in the Instance Dungeon either. Ruling Sword was able to get to where they were today thanks to Lu Li, who had led them to many First Clears. Otherwise, they would have been crushed by clubs like The Capital of Glory in terms of equipment alone.
"Then everyone should get ready for the Instance Dungeon," Lu Li said.
The others naturally didn't disagree. After saying goodbye to Lu Li and the others, they all went back to the game. Lu Li still had to stay to continue the meeting. The main point was to discuss the future development of the club.
"Now, the first thing to do is our training camp. Everyone should think of a name for it," Lu Li said.
"Isn't it called the training camp? Why do we have to think of another name?" Wander asked.
"Most clubs call it the training camp. There's nothing special about it at all," Lu Li said with a sigh of relief. "One day, I hope that Ruling Sword's training camp will be like the Youth Training Camp. As long as the name is mentioned, everyone will be in awe."
"I agree with this. We have to have a different name than everyone else," Cat Dad said in support.
"How about the Youth Class?" Genhao San didn't wait for the others to speak. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. Really, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let them go back so early."
Many people weren't stupid, but they had all sorts of difficulties coming up with names. For example, Genhao San. This name, which he came up with by accident, had been with him for a few years. Another example was Lu Li. He couldn't think of a game name, so he might as well use his real name, just like he did in his previous life.
"What about the Hope Star?" Cat Dad asked.
"It's a good name, but it's not suitable for our training camp. People need to know what it's for once they hear it. The Capital of Glory's Youth Training Camp is a good choice. There's also Blood Red War Flag's Recruit Training Camp and Seventh Heaven's Special Training Camp. It doesn't need to be too fancy, but it should be catchy," Lu Li said, vetoing the name.
"Great God College?" Cat Dad thought of another name.
"That sounds okay, but it's too high profile and not down to earth," Lu Li said hesitantly.
"How about Death College? It sounds cool." Cat Dad seemed to be good at coming up with names. Genhao San remained silent. Wander looked embarrassed. This obviously wasn't something he was good at either. He didn't like to use his brain.
"It's not cool, it's stupid," Genhao San said.
"How about Novice Village? Ruling Sword's Novice Village. Outside of the Novice Village is a new world.
"It doesn't seem that recognizable," Lu Li said, still hesitating.
"Dammit, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Let's gather information from the guild tomorrow. There are tens of thousands of people out there, so there's bound to be a name that suits you. You guys weren't so conflicted about the name of the mercenary group and the guild," Cat Dad muttered, "Fortunately, we didn't choose the guild name so hastily. Shin Shin Army … hmph, I hate siscons."
The name of the training camp was temporarily put on hold.
However, the plan wouldn't be delayed just because the name hadn't been decided. The first thing to do was to invest money. The 20 million investment would allow the training camp to take shape quickly.
It wasn't as simple as just recruiting a group of hot-blooded teenagers to start training. First of all, the quality of the members had to be high. Then, they would need to set standards. After the standards were set, they would need to recruit gaming geniuses from all over China. These people wouldn't be too old, probably around 12 to 18 years old.
These people had to leave their homes and come to Jiangnan City.
As such, Ruling Sword had to take care of their food, clothing, housing, and transportation. This was relatively easy, as they were all wearing the same uniform. Ruling Sword's Elite Group's meals had always been very good, and these new recruits just had to eat with them. It was a special atmosphere.
The most important thing was the issue of education.
No parent would want their child's future to be tied to the illusory dream of becoming a professional player or a professional gamer.
Nowadays, there was no discrimination against gamers, but it was impossible for them to surpass things like playing the piano, drawing, calligraphy, swimming, and so on. At most, parents would see the training camp as a way for their children to learn a skill.
The most important thing was to receive a complete education.
As such, Ruling Sword needed to contact the surrounding educational institutions. This was something that could be done with a little effort. After all, winning the championship had given Jiangnan City a reputation in esports, and it had given Jiangnan City a huge reputation among the youth. This kind of small matter could probably be solved by the secretary.
If they were to live together, they couldn't let them live with the elite group. Children's minds were still unstable, so they needed to be properly guided.
Genhao San readily said that he would rent an apartment nearby to accommodate these children.
The real cost was to hire a coach. Cat Dad definitely couldn't support a training camp with hundreds of students. Even if there were a small number of students in the early stages, it still wouldn't work. After all, he couldn't be good at everything.
They needed to hire one or two experts to teach the children theoretical knowledge. This was the foundation of the training camp.
"I have a candidate that I've dealt with before, but he's too old. I don't know if you mind," Cat Dad suddenly said.
"What do you mean by old? What about other aspects?" Lu Li asked.
"Uh," Cat Dad said a little awkwardly. "Actually, he's a friend of mine. He was the oldest in the youth training camp. He had already graduated and worked for a few years as a physical education teacher …"
The others were a little confused. What kind of person was this?
Did the youth training camp actually recruit such an old student?
Perhaps working for a few years after graduation wouldn't be considered too old in the professional circle, but that wasn't the professional circle. It was the training camp of a club. It would take at least three years to seven or eight years of training. After graduating and working for a few years, they would probably be in their thirties.
"How were his results as a professional player?" Lu Li asked.
"Ahem, he was eliminated during the graduation assessment. He didn't become a professional player," Cat Dad said, feeling even more embarrassed.
The others were even more speechless. Was he toying with them? He was already a weirdo from the youth training camp, but he had not even made his debut yet. How could they trust such a person to be a teacher and teach students? It was not a joke to invest so much money into him.
"I don't think you would recommend him for no reason. Why don't we talk about this guy?" Lu Li didn't think Cat Dad was a joking person, so he chose to listen to what he had to say.
"He entered the youth training camp with the permission of The Capital of Glory Club's leader, Red Tiger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the youth training camp at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six. Red Tiger thought he was a genius in theory, but something happened to Red Tiger, and the club changed its leader. Naturally, he was abandoned. After staying in the youth training camp for a while, he went to a small club, intending to use his theoretical knowledge to push the club to success …"
"Did he succeed?"
"Of course not. If he really succeeded, I wouldn't have to help him find a job."
"If he was in the youth training camp at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, my God, wouldn't he be in his forties or fifties? He's still looking for a job at that age …"
"He's not looking for a job. He's still a physical education teacher, but he can't let go of his research in games. He wants me to help him find a job in the training camp." Cat Dad wasn't very confident. After all, his old friend was so old.
Moreover, the theory of games was developing too fast, and it had to keep up with the times. It didn't mean that someone who had studied for thirty or fifty years would be good.
"Although I don't lack a position for your friend, the training camp is our foundation. I can't promise you anything," Lu Li said after thinking for a while. "Ask him to come over, and we can talk about it. Anyway, it takes some time to recruit students. There's no hurry."
"In terms of actual combat training, I do have a reliable candidate. How about a retired competitor?" Cat Dad wasn't disappointed.
"Of course, but they have to be of good quality, and they have to be good at teaching students. Err, they better not be too old. I'm worried that they won't be able to keep up with the current pace. It would be even better if they could play Dawnlight," Lu Li said.
"I know a retired competitor who was an instructor in several training camps. Stellar Union Silver Radiant and Floral Paralysis were taught by him." Genhao San didn't want to be left out. It wasn't easy to find a theoretical expert. After all, it wasn't easy to find someone who was good with words. However, it was easy to find someone who had taught a famous competitor.
Although Stellar Union Silver Radiant and Floral Paralysis weren't as good as top players like Moonlight Xiao Mo, they were still star players.
Once you entered the circle, you might think that professional players weren't worth much. However, no one thought that a star player was worthless. If a club had a star player, then it was a well-known club. For example, Gods of Dusk had a star player like Wood Fearing, so they were a first-class club. It didn't matter how low their ranking was.
If they had two star players, then they would be safe. They wouldn't have to worry about a star player jumping ship.
Azure Guard was very strong because they had three star players, Magic Cry, Stellar Union Silver Radiant, and Floral Paralysis. They were also a super club that could challenge a champion team in the professional league.
If one person could train two star players, then that would be amazing.
"Everyone should be familiar with this person, Xing Xiaofeng," Genhao San finally said after keeping everyone in suspense.
Lu Li suddenly realized that Cat Dad had already guessed this person when Genhao San mentioned Stellar Union Silver Radiant and Floral Paralysis. Xing Xiaofeng might not be as good as a godly instructor like Master Huang, but he was still one of the top instructors.
"Brother Three, how do you know this person?"
"Star Moon Guild once hired him for a high price, but he rejected me right away. However, I've been in contact with him ever since, and we're pretty good friends," Genhao San explained.
"If that's the case, why don't you talk to him?" Lu Li wasn't familiar with Xing Xiaofeng, and he didn't know how to deal with someone who came from a training camp. He wasn't good at teaching, so it was best to leave it to the right person.
"Compared to Xing Xiaofeng, the person I'm recommending isn't bad, and she's a pretty girl," Cat Dad said.
"Pretty girl? How pretty?" The sleepy Wandering immediately perked up. "Tell me, see if I know her. I say, Brother Cat, not all girls can be called beauties. For example, your cat is just cute and adorable at best …"
"I'm not going to discuss this with Yao Nan." Cat Dad turned his head away. "Have you heard of Butterfly Dance?"
The other three nodded. They had heard of this name before. Even Wander couldn't deny that she was a pretty girl. After all, she was one of the top beauties in the game. The name Butterfly Dance was very common, and many gamers used this name. However, when this name was mentioned in certain situations, it was definitely Phantom Butterfly Dance.
Phantom referred to Midnight Ghost, a bandit from Eternal Kingdom.
Butterfly Dance was the beautiful sorcerer from Eternal Kingdom. Since it was in the past, she was no longer in Eternal Kingdom. There was no news of her joining any club in the past two years. Was she going to become an instructor now?
"Hehe, Brother Cat, does your wife know that you're so close to Butterfly Dance?" Wander asked coldly.
Cat Dad shrunk his head. "Don't talk nonsense. I was only her instructor for a few days. We met by chance recently, and I know that she doesn't want to play games anymore. She's looking for something to do."
"I heard that she has a good temper. How would she be teaching?" Of course, who didn't want to work with a beautiful woman, especially one who was ranked on the Absolute Beauty Rankings? Dia Wu was definitely a good wife and loving mother who could cook in the kitchen and in the living room …
"Let her come over and talk when she's free," Lu Li said casually.
If these three could all be confirmed, including Cat Dad, there would be four instructors in the training camp. This was a far cry from the youth training camp, but compared to other training camps that had one or two instructors leading dozens of people, Ruling Sword's training camp had just been established, which was quite a shame.
Once the general direction was confirmed, there was no need for Lu Li to do the preparatory work.
