August 22nd, Monday …
At the entrance of the DGE Club, Huang Wang and Team Leader Su prepared to leave and return to Shanghai. The other team members were all there to send him off.
"Get along well with your new teammates when you get there. You'll embarrass DGE if you don't perform well.
"You have to maintain your standard. Don't be despised if you're discovered to have become a noob after a while!"
"Come back often when you have time."
Coach Yaling smiled and said, "Remember to maintain your fitness habits when you get there. It took months to build up your figure. If you give up, you'll be fat again very soon, and all your previous perseverance would be wasted."
Zhang Yuan patted Huang Wang's shoulder. "You can tell me if you have any difficulties. I'll think of a way to help you. Don't be embarrassed. Even if you go there, you'll always be a member of our club!"
Huang Wang was moved to tears and nodded repeatedly.
Unfortunately, Boss Pei was not here today.
Perhaps Boss Pei did not want to see such a farewell scene, right?
Team Leader Su said, "Manager Zhang, don't worry. We'll make good use of the money that Boss Pei gave us. I'll discuss with the club's management when we return to Shanghai and do our best to fulfill Boss Pei's requirements. We'll create the most suitable training environment for Huang Wang and the other team members. Everything will be in line with DGE! You're welcome to supervise then! "
Zhang Yuan nodded. "Sure, sure. Let me know if you need anything."
Team Leader Su was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned back and said, "By the way, your Team Two is missing a member. Will the mock competition be affected?"
The performance competition organized by ZZ Live-Stream had ended, and the mock competition between the clubs continued according to the previously arranged schedule.
However, Huang Wang was the captain of DGE Club Two after all. Team Two was left with only four people after he left. Team Leader Su was worried that his purchase this time would affect the schedule of the mock competition.
Zhang Yuan smiled. "Don't worry, we've already put up a new recruitment notice the day before yesterday. Many people have signed up now. We've decided to reimburse them for their round-trip expenses and train them one by one. We'll pick the best one with the most potential to fill in for Huang Wang.
"We'll rebalance the strength of the two teams then. The mock competition will not be affected. Don't worry."
Team Leader Su nodded. "That's good. We'll be leaving now. See you later!"
Jiang Huan suddenly thought of something. He took two quick steps forward and said to Huang Wang, "The new Multifaceted Man is a hero with good numerical strength. The mechanism of being able to transform into other heroes and steal ultimate moves will be very useful in competitions. It might even become a popular hero in this World Invitational Tournament. You must practice more."
Huang Wang nodded. "Don't worry, I know."
Watching Huang Wang's taxi disappear from their sight, everyone returned to the club.
"Although this kid is very noisy, I still feel a little reluctant to send him away," Zhang Yuan said with a sigh.
"Don't worry. The newcomers will be here soon. I wonder if the newcomers can withstand the intensity of Huang Wang's training." Old Zhou expressed his concern.
After all, Huang Wang was the captain of Team Two and the one who had the most extra training out of the ten.
However, Coach Yaling's additional training would definitely be based on everyone's different physical qualities.
But even so, it was enough to make the newcomers suffer.
Jiang Huan smiled. "It's okay. I'll take good care of this newcomer."
Zhang Yuan glanced at him meaningfully. "Jiang Huan, do you think you have nothing to worry about? Team Two's mid laner is replaced by a newcomer. Do you think we can't beat you? "
"Dream on!"
"When the newcomer mid comes, let him play mid in Team One and replace Little Zhou. Little Zhou will play mid in Team Two and be the captain!"
The members of Team One and Team Two were all dumbfounded.
"Ah?"
The situation suddenly became complicated and confusing.
Team One was originally stronger than Team Two. But now that Team One's mid had gone to Team Two and Team One had a newcomer mid, the strength of both teams was back to the same starting line.
Team One had Jiang Huan as the commander. Their tactical level was better, but the mid was a newcomer and weaker. Team Two was made up of old players who just needed to get used to each other.
This time, it was hard to say who would get the extra training.
Especially Little Zhou, he felt even more dizzy. Who didn't know that the captain had the most extra training?
He did not want to become a boxer like Huang Wang!
Little Zhou hurriedly said, "Don't. I don't know how to command at all. How can I be the captain? Why don't you think about it? "
Zhang Yuan laughed. "You don't know how to command? It's alright. You'll be able to command after a few more sessions. "
Everyone: "…"
…
At night …
Old Zhou opened the live-stream to check on Huang Wang's situation while playing solo.
Needless to say, Huang Wang was quite dedicated. He was live-streaming on his first day in Shanghai.
The news of Huang Wang's transfer had already spread in the live-stream and on the internet.
"Boxer, you transferred to the H4 Club? Playing mid with Pang Ling? Isn't that right? "
"The news is spreading like crazy. Hurry up and give us some confirmation, okay?"
"If it's true, then wouldn't H4 make up for its shortcomings and take off at the speed of light? This is a new Galactic Battleship! "
"No, DGE Club's Team One is the real Galactic Battleship. Didn't you see it in the live competition these few days?"
"DGE is indeed a Galactic Battleship, but it can't play in competitions! On paper, H4 is the strongest team that can play in competitions now. "
"They went to DGE to buy players if they can't beat them. That's too showy. The other clubs would never have thought that they could do this. They're so arrogant!"
"What are the other clubs waiting for? Hurry up and buy, there are still nine people over there! "
"They probably haven't reacted yet. They'll have to wait and see for two days. After all, they said that DGE players are quite expensive. I heard that Huang Wang's transfer fee is already three million yuan. That's too scary. H4 is a veteran club, and they had to sell everything they have to raise so much money. How can the other clubs have that kind of financial resources? "
"Three million? Didn't you say five million? "
"Stop fighting, one hundred million!"
"F * ck, esports really becomes a competition of money."
"The boxer has been practicing this new hero, the Multifaceted Man, in the live-stream today. It looks like he's preparing for the competition. That's great, we can see the boxer on stage at the international invitational tournament! It's magical just thinking about the scene! "
Old Zhou could not help but feel emotional. In the age of the internet, news traveled really fast.
However, it did not matter. It was not a secret, and it would be announced in two days.
The only thing that needed to be kept secret was the specific amount of the transfer fee. Thus, there were all kinds of rumors on the internet. There were one million, three million, five million … in short, more and more rumors were spreading.
Many of these fake news might have been released by Waiwai Live-Stream. After all, the higher Huang Wang's transfer fee, the easier it was for players to discuss and bring more popularity to Waiwai Live-Stream.
However, this obviously brought about a problem, and that was … to temporarily scare the other clubs.
The other clubs originally thought that the DGE players were not for sale and that the price would definitely be very high. Now, it was even more certain that they could not afford it.
The clubs that did not have money gave up on this idea.
The rich clubs did not dare to take out a few million yuan to buy people at once. They wanted to wait and see the effect after the H4 Club bought the players.
The more awkward ones were the clubs that wanted to buy but did not have enough money. They began to think of ways to trick the live-stream platform. They wanted to sign a contract with the live-stream platform so that both parties could buy the players together.
In short, H4's purchase this time undoubtedly provided the other clubs with a new idea that they had not thought of before.
Did they lack people?
Just use the money to buy from the DGE Club. There were five positions, and you were guaranteed to be satisfied!
For those internet addicts who wanted to make a name for themselves, coming to the DGE Club for training also became very promising.
So what if they could not play for the time being?
As long as they persevered for a period of time, they would be bought by other clubs at a high price!
…
…
August 23rd, Tuesday night …
Pei Qian drank his coffee in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and also paid attention to Huang Wang's movements.
Huang Wang might have transferred to another club, but the hidden danger had not been completely eliminated.
There was still a possibility that the other players would be bought!
However, H4 and DGE had signed a confidentiality agreement. They could not reveal the specific transfer fee to the outside world. What's more, H4 did not want other clubs to compete with them. Thus, they did not reveal the details of this transfer.
The other clubs wanted to buy, but they felt that it was expensive. Thus, they were basically still watching.
After all, Huang Wang was not only a strong mid-laner but also had his own popularity and traffic. Spending three to four million yuan to buy him would not be too much of a loss.
However, the other players did not seem to be live-streaming geniuses at the moment. They would only be ordinary players after being bought. It would not be worth it if they had to pay the same price.
Pei Qian was quite satisfied with the current situation, but he was also very clear that this situation could change at any time.
Once the other clubs fought for DGE's players, Pei Qian could only tearfully sell all the players and let the entire club start from scratch.
After all, these ten people were very strong. A very important reason was that they had undergone professional training more than two months in advance. If another batch of newcomers came, they definitely wouldn't have this kind of dominance.
Pei Qian had already prepared for the worse.
After thinking about the DGE Club, Pei Qian put his cell phone on the table and drank his coffee while looking out the window.
Perhaps it had been a long time since he stayed in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to look at the night view outside the window. Pei Qian suddenly felt that for some reason, the night in Jingzhou seemed a little less noisy and a little more sad.
Thus, he looked at the lights outside the window and looked at his own silhouette reflected in the glass. Inexplicably, he recalled many things.
…
Under the night sky, Jingzhou was brightly lit.
People came and went on the streets of the downtown area. For the people living in the center of Jingzhou, nightlife had just begun.
A dazzling array of billboards hung above people's heads, dazzling people with dazzling lights.
In the windows of the shops by the roadside, all kinds of exquisite and exquisite accessories were exuding tempting light under the gentle lights.
Plastic models wore exquisite and flawless clothes, showing off their graceful figures, as if laughing at the envious people outside the window who did not dare to enter.
Pairs of young men and women walked into the bar, holding up beautiful wine glasses. The fragrance of the wine seeped into one's heart.
Restaurants, bars, KTV … there were many happy places in this city, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Whether poor or rich, ugly or beautiful, everyone had their own laughter. However, some laughter was satisfaction, and some laughter was disappointment.
In the brightly lit office building, someone was staying up late working. He stood up to get a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and could not help but look at the dark night outside the window.
In a cheap rental house, someone was holding a wrench and tape as he struggled with a leaking pipe.
In a small internet cafe by the roadside, amidst the smoke, someone was editing his resume word by word. Then, he opened a recruitment website and sent his resume to the mailboxes of various companies.
In a food stall by the roadside, someone ate a few skewers and drank two bottles of beer. For some reason, he suddenly covered his face and cried.
…
Scenes like this were happening in every city in the world. However, most of the time, people's sorrows and joys were not connected. No one cared about how others lived their lives.
After all, to most people, working hard to live their lives was already giving it their all.
At this time, on one of the computers in Fei Huang Workspace, the words' approved 'popped up.
In the next moment, countless accounts received a notification of Fei Huang Workspace's video update. Countless fingers tapped on the screen, countless eyes saw New Life, and countless ears heard Chen Lei's voice.
…
"The lonely island in everyone's heart/Perhaps we are destined to be separated.
"No matter how close we are/We can't be connected as a continent.
"Even if we cross thousands of mountains and rivers/We can't find the you of the past.
"The loneliness of the city in the neon lights/Is an imprint in our hearts.
"The luxurious life and the joys and sorrows/Makes us forget ourselves.
"I want to go back to the past/Back to the bright sun …"
The melodious voice was accompanied by the sound of a guitar as it flowed slowly.
The image appeared. The first thing that came into view was a vast lake.
Chen Lei was playing his guitar in the circular living room. His back was facing the camera as he sang softly.
In the spacious living room, warm sunlight shone in through the 180-degree French windows. It made one feel strangely warm.
The camera passed through the French windows and landed on the vast lake. Then, it quickly zoomed in to capture the scenery of Jingzhou.
There were many tall buildings in the video. The aerial shot of Jingzhou looked like a huge steel forest.
Cars sped past, and pedestrians walked hurriedly.
Everyone was busy with their own things. The entire city seemed to have never stopped moving.
In Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Chen Lei was playing his guitar and singing.
By the roadside, Chen Lei brushed past countless people.
At the airport, countless planes took off and landed.
The camera slowly zoomed in along with the planes. Once again, it became an aerial shot.
As the planes passed through the tall buildings, they seemed to be moving away from the bustling city center. The surroundings became more and more desolate.
Two unsightly and lifeless eight-story residential buildings appeared rather desolate.
Following that, Liang Qingfan's figure appeared in the camera. He walked into one of the buildings.
He began to observe, survey, and draw blueprints in the room.
Design drafts piled up on the table. Liang Qingfan picked up his coffee. However, as he was deep in thought, he forgot to drink it. Thus, he put it back down.
Soon, hardworking workers entered the dilapidated house. They started to get busy, blocking the camera's view. The audience could not see the dilapidated house's true appearance.
As the workers busied themselves, the dilapidated, damp house began to change rapidly.
Liang Qingfan's table was filled with various design drafts. The details were being perfected.
Finally, the house's construction was completed.
Its true appearance was finally revealed. The furnishings in the living room were exactly the same as the house where Chen Lei had played his guitar. What's more, the full appearance of the house that was intentionally hidden by the editing was also revealed. The 180-degree French windows proved that this was the house that Chen Lei had been in at the beginning.
At the entrance of the district, Chen Lei carried his guitar on his back and dragged a small suitcase behind him. He came downstairs and walked in.
The angle of the shot was exactly the same as when Liang Qingfan walked into the building. It was like a reenactment of a certain scene.
Finally, Chen Lei went to the living room and sat down on the sofa, hugging his guitar.
The song came to an end, and there was silence.
Chen Lei gently strummed the guitar again and sang the same melody as the beginning of the song, but with different lyrics.
"No man is an island./Perhaps we never were."
"No matter how far away/the memories are never erased"
"I'm willing to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to find you back!"
"The loneliness of the neon city/the proof of our company"
"You don't have to care about the life of luxury, the joys and sorrows of separation."
"Let's start again/In the bright sun …"
The ending and the opening scenes were completely integrated, forming a closed loop.
A few lines of words appeared on the screen.
"If you're tired, you can slow down and be a sloth."
"Don't just bear the pressure of this jungle, but don't have time to enjoy its prosperity."
"You deserve a better life."
