"Can we leave?" one of them asked, confused.
"Can we leave as we please without being held accountable?" another asked. They seemed to be more timid.
"Yes, you can leave if you want," Lu Li said with a dark face.
The other executives did not say anything. Although they had invested a lot of money in these people, if they wanted to leave, forcing them to stay would only result in more losses.
To put it bluntly, the contract was not standardized enough.
Moreover, no club's rookie training camp could guarantee that people would stay until they debuted. It was normal for them to leave, and everyone was used to it.
"Then … then I'll go back and pack my things," the first said.
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I hope to see you again." The second was also quite polite.
"Goodbye." The third grinned. He had thought it would be difficult to leave.
One after another, five left in total.
The remaining three looked more determined. Lu Li knew them. He remembered that they all came from the same place and were friends. They were not very talented, and they were a little funny. But since they decided to stay, they were good kids.
The three's game IDs looked like brothers: Sikong Che, Sikong Liang, and Sikong Ming.
But everyone was used to calling them Sikong First, Sikong Second, and Sikong Third.
Sikong First patted his chest and said, "The three Sikong brothers are not ungrateful people. A servant does not sleep with two masters. Is that right, Third?"
Sikong Third said, "Sleep your ass."
Sikong Second was exultant. "Get up and have fun!"
F * ck, what kind of people are these? Wouldn't it be better to drive them away?
"It's my fault. I didn't expect something like this to happen." Cat Dad felt that he did not do enough ideological work. Or rather, he was in a hurry to train them to participate in the Donghua Cup, so he neglected observation and political and ideological education.
"It's good that they left. Contact their families later and let them leave safely," Lu Li said.
"I know why they left." Sikong Three supported his chin with one hand and pretended to be profound.
"Because you didn't let them compete?" Lu Li asked. He actually did not care much about why these people wanted to leave. Children's temperaments were fickle, and if they wanted to leave, they could do so without a reason.
"There are quite a few clubs outside that have contacted us. They want to poach us. Their treatment is better than at Ruling Sword, and they also promise that they will soon be on the stage," Sikong 3 said.
"So they went back on their word," Sikong Two Idiots added.
"The three of us ignored them. We didn't think that there would be people who would betray the organization. A few days ago, we agreed to fight together," Sikong the Fool said with grief and indignation.
"I remember, the last time we played cards, they still owe us money," Sikong Three suddenly remembered an important matter.
"We didn't plan on taking them at first, but now that they've left, we have to get them back. Come on, let's get our weapons." Idiot Sikong became even angrier.
"Haha, I didn't think that there would be a day where we could get our money back. Boss, if there's nothing else, we'll go collect the debt." Sikong Two Dumb said and followed behind Big Dumb and Two Dumb.
The three teenagers left, and so did Soulless Grass.
Only Princely Beauty didn't want to leave. She held onto Wander's leg and didn't want to let go.
"Can you kick this one out too? Or just fire her?" Wander's face darkened. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't hit women, and if it wasn't for the fact that this girl was only 14 years old, he would definitely let her know what a level 3 Black Belt was like.
He was so pretty, and he liked to offend people with his sharp tongue. The only reason he hadn't been beaten to death was because his strength was off the charts.
"Ahem, let's continue the meeting," Lu Li said, ignoring him.
Since Wander couldn't betray them – Ruling Sword was founded by Wander, how could he betray them? Moreover, this guy was probably too lazy to even think about betraying them. Naturally, his little accessory couldn't betray them either.
As for the hate that grew out of love, unless Wander and Weilan Haifeng went to get their marriage certificate, there was no need to worry about this for a while.
"A lot of problems have been exposed during this time, but fortunately, these problems have been exposed," Genhao San said as he set the tone for today's events. In fact, he was against letting the newcomers participate in the Donghua Cup so early. He also knew that there were people who had contacted the newcomers from the Sharpening Hall.
Everyone present knew, but they just didn't know how to deal with it.
They couldn't stop it, and this kind of thing couldn't be forcefully stopped.
As soon as the Donghua Cup began, Short Road attracted a lot of attention. Ruling Sword had another good seedling.
Princely Beauty and Soulless Grass were actually not bad either. They could be ranked in the Youth Training Camp of The Capital of Glory, so the major clubs couldn't sit still. They all reached out to the people from the Sharpening Hall.
"Come with me to our club. The treatment is great."
The three people on stage were fine, but Short Road couldn't leave. He had a deeper deal with Lu Li. Unless he found someone more beautiful than Wander, Princely Beauty wouldn't leave. Soulless Grass didn't seem like someone who would be easily swayed.
Those who didn't go on stage were already swayed.
Why were people younger than them going on stage, while they could only watch from the sidelines?
I'm better than XXX. If it was me … in the future, I would definitely be able to replace XXX. Under the strong imbalance, most of the young players began to waver.
When Ruling Sword lost to The Capital of Glory and only got third place, these shaken people were even more determined to leave.
It turned out that Ruling Sword wasn't the legendary invincible team, so why did they still have to suffer this kind of 'humiliation' here?
As a result, there were originally 14 people in the training camp, but now, there were only five left.
"To be more optimistic, if these five don't leave, we can still make up the lineup for the next Donghua Cup," Lu Li said jokingly. The other instructors and higher-ups also laughed along with him.
Although Ruling Sword had invested a lot in the training camp, this investment wasn't invested in the individual players. There wasn't much of a loss for these players to leave. At most, everyone would just feel a little unhappy.
The investment in the infrastructure couldn't be taken away by the new players that left.
"Looks like we still need to recruit people," Cat Dad said. "This time, we'll learn from our mistakes and solve these problems from the root."
"Strengthen ideological education. In the process of screening, also take character into consideration. Improve the contract terms. We can't let them leave after eating our food," Butterfly Dance also expressed her opinion. She was usually very good to these kids, but she didn't expect them to leave just like that. It was quite disappointing.
"Have you thought about what I said two days ago?" Genhao San told them about what he and Lu Li had discussed last time when they were watching the competition.
After everyone heard this, they began to fall silent.
Was it feasible to recruit people from the Common District?
Yes, of course it was. The benefits of this operation were obvious. The children living in the Common District were very hardworking and the cost of training them was relatively low. If they were given a chance, they would do their best.
However, these people's shortcomings were also very obvious.
They had low qualities, whether it was their ability to act or their way of thinking. There was also the problem of character that made them feel uncomfortable. If someone really came with money to poach people, these people who were used to being poor would have even less resistance.
"This matter can't be rushed. I've already called people over. They should be here soon," Lu Li said.
The people who came were Chongzi and Blackie. The two of them rarely came to Ruling Sword's base. They also knew that Lu Li didn't really like these old brothers of his. It wasn't like they didn't have any complaints in their hearts. Why did people always want to cut off the past?
According to what Chongzi often said, if they put on a new account, they would think that they weren't from the Common District anymore.
Of course, they could still trust each other unconditionally.
Friends of life and death were probably referring to people like them.
Some of the others knew what these two did, but some didn't. Now, they all knew.
"If there's anything you need, Brother Li, just tell me," Blackie said respectfully.
Chongzi didn't say anything. There was nothing to say between him and Lu Li.
"I need some people from the Common District. They'll be around 10 to 15 years old. They have to be smart. You can take them over first and test their character. If you feel that they won't betray us, then send them to me," Lu Li said, not hiding anything.
"We don't have anything over there, but we have a lot of people," Blackie's eyes lit up.
"In the future, these people may go up on the stage. If they don't meet the requirements, then they can become the guild's elite. It's a good place to go. It's not a problem to lower the age a bit," Lu Li said.
"I want to keep some of them. We don't have enough people," Chongzi said.
"It's up to you. You can give me the leftovers." Lu Li didn't care, but he also knew that Chongzi wouldn't take the best away. Everyone had a tacit understanding of this.
"After entering the club, there will be different levels. Only by continuously passing the various levels of assessment will you be able to get more resources and qualify to go up on the stage," Han Lengyi, the theoretical expert, said. He had done some research on the club system and gave his opinion on the Sharpening Hall.
"I agree with Teacher Han's idea. I'll have to trouble Teacher Han to draw up the specific system," Lu Li said.
Professional things should be left to the professionals.
This way, Ruling Sword would have a constant supply of new blood. These people would come from the place that Lu Li had come from. In the beginning, he wanted to give his sister a new life, so he didn't want to come into contact with that place again. He wanted to cut off his past.
However, he didn't forget his roots. The Common District of Jiangnan City was changing rapidly. Chongzi and the others were doing it, but the funds and ideas were all provided by Lu Li.
However, when Lu Li stood at a certain height, he realized that cutting off the past was a bit naive.
No one could really cut off the past, and there was no need to.
From then on, the Common District was once again involved with Lu Li. This also determined that the Ruling Sword club would always have a little bit of this label. Countless Common District experts were born here and started a new life.
These things were all left to Cat Dad, Chongzi and Blackie. Lu Li's focus was still on Instance Dungeons.
In the first week of seven days, they didn't even get to see all of Ouro's skills, let alone defeat this Boss. The other clubs were the same. The official forum was filled with all sorts of protests. Everyone felt that this Boss couldn't be killed in the current situation.
