Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Chen Guo, and Tang Rou experienced what it was like to live here. The three girls took the two empty rooms. Ye Xiu went to Wei Chens room. Just as Wei Chen said, the room was filled with smoke. It wasnt anything Ye Xiu had any problems with though.

"Everyones gathered together now." Wei Chen sighed as he handed Ye Xiu a cigarette.

"Not bad, right?" Ye Xiu smiled.

"If our opponent wasnt Excellent Era, it would have been great." Wei Chen couldnt get rid himself of this worry because he was more worried than anyone else about this opportunity. Sometimes he even felt upset at himself. If he knew he could have done this earlier, why did he waste so many years of his life? Why didnt he just try to return to the scene sooner?

"How about you try your hand at Tyranny and see if theyll accept you. You can be together with them in an old people team." Ye Xiu lit his cigarette.

"Ah, its fine! Im old already. I cant struggle like I did before!" Wei Chen sighed.

"Youre worried that they dont want you, no?" Ye Xiu laughed.

"Tch." Wei Chen objected, "What about you? You didnt need to do this yourself. Youve managed to keep your ability to play in good condition for all these years. Returning to the scene at the end of the year wouldnt be difficult at all."

"If I dont busy myself with this kind of goal, how would I be able to maintain my good condition?" Ye Xiu said.

"Youve already gotten this far. Why are you thinking about all this? Stay on this path!" Wei Chen said.

"Arent you the one thats thinking too much?"

"I cant help myself." Wei Chen sighed. It wasnt something that he could stop himself from doing.

"Who cant?" Ye Xiu held his cigarette in his mouth as he looked out the window.

"If we fail to get through the Challenger League, what will you do?" Wei Chen suddenly asked.

"Ill see when that time comes!" Ye Xiu said.

"You havent thought about it yet?"

"Not at all." Ye Xiu said.

"Thats good!" Wei Chen let out a sigh. It seems like he had been troubled by this question.

"What do you have to be worried about? Even if you fail, youve got 18 million yuan. Isnt that good enough?" Ye Xiu laughed.

"Happiness cant be bought!" Wei Chen refuted.

"How about you spend your money to hire a few hitmen and get rid of those guys at Excellent Era? Wouldnt we certainly succeed then?" Ye Xiu said.

"Mm, I actually know a few people."

"D*mn!" Ye Xiu didnt think that Wei Chen was actually serious.

"Im just kidding." Wei Chen said.

"Excellent Era is going to be a very troublesome opponent." Ye Xiu said, "But there will always be opportunities in the future."

"You dont need to preach to me." Wei Chen said.

"Youre such a good-for-nothing. You clearly understand the logic, yet you still get anxious and depressed from time to time. Did those glasses of beer bring up unnecessary worry?" Ye Xiu said.

"What do you think of everyone currently here?" Wei Chen didnt want to talk about his feelings with Ye Xiu anymore and changed topics.

"Youve seen them too. What are your thoughts?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I think Tang Rou and Steamed Bun definitely have a good future ahead of them. You managed to pick up two treasures! Im certain that after they shine in the Challenger League, there will definitely be pro teams who think highly of them." Wei Chen said.

"As if you need to tell me that." Ye Xiu smiled, "Wang Jiexi once invited Little Tang to join his team."

"Even something like that happened?" Wei Chen was astonished.

"Of course." Ye Xiu gave him a summary of the event.

"She refused? Why?" Wei Chen was a bit at a loss.

"That is her biggest problem. Her love and passion for Glory isnt the same as ours. She only started playing because she lost to me in the Arena multiple times. She never had the ambition of becoming a pro player, so she didnt think much of Wang Jiexis invitation." Ye Xiu said.

"What about now?" Wei Chen asked.

"Now? Shes been playing for so long already. It seems like shes at least somewhat interested in playing Glory. The pro scene just so happens to have numerous experts to challenge. I think thats most likely her motivation to continue playing." Ye Xiu said.

"Haha, thats a good reason! Her personality is really fitting for a competitor! I think shell go very far." Wei Chen said.

"That might not be true." Ye Xiu said.

"Why?"

"Shes not that young. Her background is also a bit strange too. Look at how she carries herself. When I first came here, she was doing unskilled labor at Happy Internet Cafe. Would you believe that?" Ye Xiu said.

"F*ck, no way?" Wei Chen was astonished.

"I seriously think that she ran away from home, just like me." Ye Xiu said.

"You ran away from home?" Wei Chen continued to be astonished.

"F*ck, a slip of the tongue. I forgot that you didnt know about that." Ye Xiu said.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me." Wei Chen hastily said.

"It was many years ago. Theres nothing to say." Ye Xiu looked down on Wei Chen.

Wei Chen wasnt much of a gossiper. Seeing that Ye Xiu didnt want to talk about it, he didnt keep pestering. He continued to examine the strengths of Team Happys current members: "In any case, Tang Rou will probably be the most outstanding amongst them. Steamed Bun is quite good too, but hes not very consistent. A few mistakes here and there are always fine, but it would be very troublesome during a crucial moment."

"Correct. Thats Steamed Buns main problem." Ye Xiu said.

"For this type of player, if it were an important match, I think most teams would place him as their sixth player." Wei Chen said.

"We dont have that luxury right now though." Ye Xiu said.

"Youre right." Wei Chen sighed, "The others are quite a ways away from those two."

"Mo Fan isnt too bad." Ye Xiu pointed him out.

"F*ck, that dead person. If you didnt say anything, I wouldnt even have mentioned him. You saying his name makes me want to go over there and punch him." Wei Chen said.

"I still dont know what to do about him! I have no idea why he even plays Glory. Im hoping that hell have a change in mind once he starts playing with us." Ye Xiu said.

"Seeing how he seems to insist on rejecting everything that we do, I dont see much hope." Wei Chen said.

"Hell reject anything new to him, but hes familiar with Glory. This will help him gain a better understanding of Glory. Lets see how things go before coming to any conclusions!" Ye Xiu said.

"Then theres An Wenyi and Luo Ji." Wei Chen started talking about these two fresh arrivals: "I saw Luo Jis situation this afternoon. Im afraid theres not much hope of him getting on stage in the short term. The future will depend on how much he improves. How is he compared to when you first met him?"

"Hes definitely improved a lot, but he cant compare to Tang Rou or Steamed Bun. I havent guided him that much though. Well see how things go after a month of intense practice!" Ye Xiu said.

"What about An Wenyi? You guys usually bring him along, but I havent actually seen his skill in-game." Wei Chen said.

"He still needs practice. His awareness and decision-making is quite remarkable. If its a 1v1 and he had to heal, his pacing and control is definitely at a pro level, but if you give him multiple targets, such as one healer for a team, he starts to mess up." Ye Xiu said.

"Hm. Then, well have to see after this month!" Wei Chen said.

"Theres nothing to see. Thats everyone we can use." Ye Xiu said.

"Little Qiao is quite good. I heard that you wanted him to switch to a Phantom Demon?" Wei Chen said.

"I feel like his strengths would fit a Phantom Demon more." Ye Xiu said.

"His foundation is quite stable. Right now, hes at the stage where hes getting used to his class. I think highly of him, but honestly speaking, he isnt any extraordinary talent. I hope hell work hard to make up for that!"

"Being able to pick up two talents is lucky enough." Ye Xiu said.

Thats true. That is very lucky."

"Theyll have to practice hard! Its entirely on them." Wei Chen puffed out one final cloud of smoke and then extinguished the flame. "Lets sleep!"

"Okay." Ye Xiu replied and also laid down.

After a moment of silence, Wei Chen suddenly said: "Our boss isnt considered an official player, right?"

"Of course not." Ye Xiu said.

"Okay." Wei Chen replied. He didnt say anything after that.

They had been pulling all nighters for the past month, so sleeping at this time wasnt easy. Wei Chen borrowed the effects of alcohol to sleep soundly. Ye Xiu laid on his bed, not sleepy at all. He stared at the pitch black darkness outside. Who knew how long it would take for him to sleep.

Wei Chen slept early and woke up early. When he woke up, he immediately woke up Ye Xiu too.

"Hurry! Get up! While theres still nothing to do, we should figure out everyones practice plan. We cant be lazy." Wei Chen shouted.

"Lazy? Ive already given each of them a practice plan to follow." Ye Xiu said.

"How can throwing them some plans to follow be considered anything? You have to be more rigorous. Time, content, levels. Everyones doing the same thing. Have the pace of their practice go up." Wei Chen yelled, "We need to make active preparations for the Challenger League, not just in equipment. Everyones individual strength is crucial too."

"Okay, thats very reasonable. Ill leave that to you then. Ill keep on thinking about what to do with our equipment problem, so stop bothering me. I have an idea and I need some peace and quiet to think about it." Ye Xiu flipped over his body.

"D*mmit, get the f*ck up! We need to start regulating practices. Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan, you guys have experience with teams. Gather here! Meeting time!" Wei Chen roared.

Helpless, Ye Xiu was finally forced to get up. He didnt know when he slept last night. He didnt have any energy. But seeing how spirited Wei Chen was, he was also gratified, so he struggled to match up with him.

"Right now, we dont have the software to utilize all those practice methods that the current pro teams use. But as pioneers from the early days, we shouldnt be held up by this issue. The earliest teams didnt have these resources either. They relied on things in the game. Werent they still able to practice?" Wei Chen said.

"As if you need to say that." Ye Xiu remarked.

"Good. What we need right now is for you guys to tell us the contents of the practice methods that you use in your Clubs and well find a substitute for it in the game." Wei Chen said.

"I know. Ive been doing that the entire time." Ye Xiu said.

"Now we have this senior helping. Well organize everything by the end of today." Wei Chen said.

"Wait. What training methods do you know of that are used by Clubs?" Ye Xiu asked.

"None. So hurry up and tell me everything you know about the theory and methodology behind their practice routines!" Wei Chen looked like he was planning a robbery.
