"Last year was a scene of flowers and blood, and this year there is another magician, and the people are thriving!" Looking at the list of eight teams that advanced to the playoffs in the third season, Ye Qiu couldn't help but sigh.

"But the first is still our Jiashi." Ye Qiu said. As the captain of Jiashi, he said this, but his tone didn't sound like much boasting, just stating a fact.

"Batu fourth." Ye Qiu's side, Han Wenqing, who was looking at the final ranking of the standings with him, said coldly.

"That's not something to be proud of." Ye Qiu replied casually. Then he felt two aggressive eyes shoot straight at him.

"Oh, I see." Ye Qiu looked at the standings and said, "We are first, you are fourth...... "The first and fourth means that the two teams will be divided into the same half of the playoffs, and only one of the teams can finally break into the finals.

Ye Qiu nodded and looked at Han Wenqing: "This time, you can't even enter the finals." ”

"Give it a try." Han Wenqing said.

"Repeated defeats, repeated defeats, and commendable spirit." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Just don't be afraid." Hangul Cheongdo.

"You're laughing." Ye Qiu was still smiling.

"See you on the field."

"See you on the field."

The two shook hands and said goodbye. Ye Qiu walked out of the gate of the Glory Alliance headquarters, turned a corner, and walked alone on the sidewalk.

He has never been interviewed by the media, and he still hides his identity. Even if he walked out of the league headquarters, no one would know that this young man was the fighting god who had won two consecutive glory championships and was ruling the league.

After walking along the sidewalk for a while, and turning into a secluded path, Lu Ping slowed down and lit a cigarette.

"Ahem!"

"Ahem!"

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, there was a coughing sound behind him, as if he was afraid that people would not hear it, and after one shot, he coughed twice harder.

Ye Qiu turned around and saw Wu Xuefeng walking out of the inconspicuous small door, walking towards him.

"As for it? There's no one here. Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"If you don't mind, I don't care." Wu Xuefeng also smiled.

This is only the third season, and the development of the Glory League is already in full swing. E-sports Home, the most authoritative e-sports media in China, publishes 80% of the weekly e-sports weekly report on the Honor Professional League. This year, according to the league's schedule, the date of the newspaper release has been adjusted, which shows the current status of the Glory League in the e-sports circle.

The tide rises all boats, and the players of Honor E-sports have also become stars who are being chased. A player from the championship team like Wu Xuefeng will easily be recognized when he walks on the street, so he does not go through the gate, but enters and exits through this secluded side door.

"If I had known, I should have been like you." Wu Xuefeng walked towards Ye Qiu and complained that he was as embarrassed as a thief when he traveled now.

"You're about to be relieved anyway." Ye Qiu said.

These words seemed to evoke something, Wu Xuefeng was silent, and the whole street was quiet. The two walked forward in silence.

"There is no feast in the world." After a while, Wu Xuefeng suddenly spoke.

"That's what I said when I was AFK." Ye Qiu said.

"Dude, can I call this retirement? Excuse me to be professional. Wu Xuefeng has a black line.

"It's all the same." Ye Qiu took a cigarette in his mouth and said lightly.

Glory online game for three years and professional league for three years, Wu Xuefeng has always been Ye Qiu's most reliable friend. Although under the light of the fighting god Yi Ye Zhiqiu, the reputation of the qigong master is not particularly loud, but Ye Qiu himself knows very well how important this friend, this teammate, is to him and to Jiashi.

But now, as Wu Xuefeng just said, there is no feast in the world. Wu Xuefeng's glorious career, he chose to end here. He will announce his retirement after this playoffs, saying goodbye to the world where he has been active for six years.

"What's the plan?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Probably going abroad." Wu Xuefeng said.

"Oh." Ye Qiu nodded. He could only ask, he had little experience in future choices, and he couldn't give his friends any advice.

"For the last time, give me a triple crown." Wu Xuefeng said.

"It should." Ye Qiu smiled.

"I looked at the final rankings, Baihua and Weicao were second and third, and Batu was fourth." Wu Xuefeng said.

"Yes, I've seen it." Ye Qiu said, "I just met Han Wenqing in the building. ”

"Really? What did he say? Wu Xuefeng asked.

"What can he say? See you on the field. Ye Qiu tried to imitate Han Wenqing's tone and tone, which was not very similar.

"Sure enough, you can't change words." Wu Xuefeng was still laughed at by Ye Qiu's imitation.

"yes, it's the playoffs every year, he's the opponent every year, and every year he says, 'See you on the court.'" Ye Qiu sighed.

"But if you can do this for ten years, it won't be bad." Ye Qiu said.

Wu Xuefeng smiled and didn't say anything more. Decade? If you can really do this for ten years, it is really good. It's just a pity that such a decade will not belong to itself again no matter what.

There are only three rounds left to await you.

"We have to beat the eighth-ranked team before we can dominate the map." Wu Xuefeng began to talk about going back to the playoffs.

"Three hundred and one degrees." Ye Qiu said. In his eyes, there are not only those masters and strong teams, but every team that will become an opponent, he respects and cherishes.

"Yes, the newcomer to their team is also very good." Wu Xuefeng said.

"Yang Cong, assassin scenery kill." Ye Qiu said.

"The newcomers who have emerged in the past two years are really much better than we were at the beginning." Wu Xuefeng sighed with emotion, "Last year, it was the two of the Hundred Flowers team, and this year it was Wang Jiexi of Weicao, I really don't know how many geniuses will emerge next year." ”

"Do you want to stay?" Ye Qiu said.

"Forget it." Wu Xuefeng said with a smile, "I don't want these little ghosts to brush experience on me, so let me have a perfect curtain call." ”

"You'll have it." Ye Qiu said in a very affirmative tone. The two fell silent and walked side by side.

The two returned to the hotel where the playoffs were arranged by the league together, and as soon as they entered the lobby, they saw Tao Xuan, the owner of Jiashi, sitting in the scattered seats, talking with people. As soon as he saw Ye Qiu and Wu Xuefeng coming in, he immediately stood up. But Ye Qiu immediately turned around and walked to the other side of the lobby, leaving Wu Xuefeng to smile helplessly at Tao Xuan.

Tao Xuan also showed a helpless wry smile, so he had to beckon to Wu Xuefeng. The person sitting opposite Tao Xuan got up and turned around, and immediately showed a warm smile when he saw that it was Wu Xuefeng.

Wu Xuefeng recognized this as one of the important sponsors of the Jiashi team. As the winner of the championship for two consecutive years, Jiashi has never been short of investors. However, this team, which should be the most commercially valuable team in the league and even the entire e-sports circle, was not able to sign high sponsorship conditions in the end.

The reason is because the core player of the Jiashi team, the captain Ye Qiu, never shows up, let alone participates in any commercial activities. Without this important role, the return on investment of Jiashi was suddenly overshadowed by countless sponsors. Especially after this is no longer a secret, the popularity of sponsors for Jiashi has decreased a lot. Last year's Baihua team and this year's Weicao have become their new favorites. As for Jiashi, three seasons have passed, and as the division of the king, it is lackluster.

"Mr. Liao is here." Wu Xuefeng walked forward quickly and greeted the sponsor boss of Jiashi. Because Ye Qiu refused to show up, in these matters, Wu Xuefeng, the vice captain, had no choice but to show up.

"First in the regular season, third time in the playoffs, how can I not come?" Mr. Liao smiled, stepped forward, and shook hands with Wu Xuefeng.

"It is inseparable from the support of Mr. Liao." Wu Xuefeng is also very skillful when he talks about these polite words.

"Where, it's you guys who played well, especially Ye Qiu." Mr. Liao said.

"Huh." When it came to Ye Qiu, Wu Xuefeng was inevitably embarrassed. As one of the most important sponsors of Jiashi, he had never seen the true face of this Jiashi captain, and Wu Xuefeng guessed that these people were not as happy as the smiles on their faces.

"I have something to do, let's go first. I wish you all the best and be sure to win another championship. Mr. Liao said.

"Definitely." Wu Xuefeng smiled and said goodbye to Mr. Liao, and when he turned his head again, he saw that the boss Tao Xuan had no smile on his face. Leaning deeply on the sofa, looking at a contract on the coffee table in front of him, thoughtful.

"Liao always comes to talk about contract renewals?" Wu Xuefeng sat opposite Tao Xuan and asked.

"Yes." Tao Xuan nodded.

After winning the championship in the first season, Mr. Liao signed a two-year sponsorship contract. After the playoffs this season, the contract will expire. Whether to terminate the cooperation or continue the sponsorship has been negotiated between the two sides for a long time, but it has not yet been decided. Looking at Tao Xuan's expression, Wu Xuefeng estimated that the negotiation was not very smooth.

"What did Mr. Liao say?" Wu Xuefeng asked. Although he is leaving after this season, he still cares about the future of Jiashi. Here are his closest associates. Ye Qiu is, and the boss Tao Xuan in front of him is the same, everyone got acquainted when they were playing online games, and finally entered this professional circle together.

"He made two demands." Tao Xuan said.

"What is it?" Wu Xuefeng asked.

"First of all, if you want to renew your contract, then this playoffs, Jiashi must win the championship." Tao Xuan said.

"This ...... How can there be such a requirement, a champion, who can guarantee it 100% of the time? Wu Xuefeng was surprised.

"It's not over yet." Tao Xuan said a little weakly, "Assuming that we win the championship this time, then we can only get a one-year sponsorship contract." And whether or not you win the championship will also become an important criterion for the final amount of the sponsorship contract in the new year. No, it's the only criterion. ”

"How much is that?" Wu Xuefeng asked.

"See for yourself." Tao Xuan glanced at the contract on the table.

Wu Xuefeng picked it up, and quickly flipped to the part of the sponsorship amount, and after reading it, he was also shocked.

"This ......," he said, he simply didn't know what to say. On the contract, whether Jiashi wins the championship or not, the difference in the amount of sponsorship that the other party is willing to pay is as much as ten times. Even so, the amount of sponsorship for winning the championship is only slightly higher than this year. As for the tenth of what can be gained by not winning the championship, it is more like a consolation.

"If we don't win the championship, we're just going to be called in, aren't we?" Tao Xuan said.

"It's just too much." Wu Xuefeng said.

"yes, it's excessive." Tao Xuan sighed, "If we win the championship this time, we will be three consecutive championships!" In the competitive world, a triple crown means absolute domination and the establishment of a dynasty. But it is such a dynasty team that has won three consecutive championships, in the eyes of others, if it loses the championship, it immediately becomes worthless. Are we worthless except for champions? ”

Wu Xuefeng was silent. He knew what Tao Xuan was referring to.

Ye Qiu, if he can participate in these commercial sponsorship activities, then the sponsorship faced by Jiashi will never be in this situation. Regarding this issue, Tao Xuan tried to persuade Ye Qiu many times, but Ye Qiu firmly refused. Tao Xuan was also quite complaining about this in private. once lost his words after drinking, and even confided that Ye Qiu did not cooperate like this, no matter how many championships he won, the value of Jiashi could not be truly reflected.

Winning the championship can't reflect the value, what is the value you want?

Wu Xuefeng actually wanted to ask Tao Xuan about this, but he didn't say it, because he actually knew the answer a long time ago. In online games, they are gamers who fight side by side. But now, he and Ye Qiu have become professional players, and Tao Xuan has become a businessman who runs a team. As early as when they were playing online, their Jia Dynasty guilds were all managed by Tao Xuan, and he showed quite outstanding talent in this regard. After the formation of the team, Tao Xuan was about to continue to show his strength, but Ye Qiu's non-cooperation in business restrained his hands and feet. It is true that most of the existing value of Jiashi was created by Ye Qiu, but only that, Tao Xuan was obviously very dissatisfied.

And the unsmooth negotiation of this time seriously hit his morale, Tao Xuan at this time looked depressed, he looked at Wu Xuefeng, and said very frustratedly: "And the news that you will retire after this season has not yet been announced, if it is announced, I doubt that we will be able to sign such a beggar contract." ”

"No kidding, I'm not that important." Wu Xuefeng tried to make Tao Xuan easier.

"It's no joke." Tao Xuan shook his head, his expression still heavy.

"There's always something new coming up. Glory now has more and more talented young people, last season's flowers, this season's magic, next season, there will definitely be more outstanding talents, huh? Wu Xuefeng said, but Tao Xuan still seemed to be careless, he had no choice but to continue, but soon found that Tao Xuan's expression had changed, as if he had discovered something, his eyes fell behind Wu Xuefeng, and his eyes lit up with anticrative light again.

"What's wrong?" Tao Xuan turned around, what happened behind him?

Nothing happened behind him, just that at the other end of the lobby, a beautiful girl full of youth was smiling in front of Ye Qiu.

"Xiao Mucheng?" Wu Xuefeng recognized this girl and would be called this because when he first met this girl, she was really young, only twelve years old. After joining Jiashi, this girl has been following Ye Qiu. No one doubts the relationship between the two, as old friends who have turned from online games to professional circles together, everyone knows the relationship between Ye Qiu and this girl.

Looking at her, Wu Xuefeng couldn't help but think of that person.

If he still exists, I'm afraid all the problems will be solved, right? Whether it is the victory of the competition or the current headache of Tao Xuan, I am afraid there will be a more beautiful solution.

It's a pity......

Thinking of this, Wu Xuefeng was a little gloomy, that person was also a good friend he made in the game, but unfortunately everyone hadn't had time to have more contacts in life.

Wu Xuefeng turned his head and saw that Tao Xuan had already gotten up, his eyes fell on Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng over there, and he was about to go over there, and even forgot the contract that was still on the table.

Wu Xuefeng put away the contract and followed behind Tao Xuan, he thought of Tao Xuan's enthusiastic and expectant eyes before.

It's not that Tao Xuan didn't know Su Mucheng, and even met earlier outside the Internet. In recent years, even if he has become the owner of the team, and the life of the players is a little farther away, but after all, they still work together, and they don't see each other when they look up, and they won't meet Su Mucheng too little, as for being so excited?

Thinking about it, and then connecting to the topic that made Tao Xuan decadent before, Wu Xuefeng suddenly realized a certain possibility. His gaze suddenly bypassed Tao Xuan's back, and he also looked at Su Mucheng over there. Ye Qiu was about to go to the elevator, but Su Mucheng, who was facing this side, saw Tao Xuan and Wu Xuefeng, grabbed Ye Qiu and pointed to this side.

Ye Qiu didn't look back, but said something to Su Mucheng, and the two walked towards the elevator room together. Tao Xuan stepped up, and finally took the same elevator with Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng with Wu Xuefeng.

"Brother Tao, Brother Feng." Su Mucheng still called the two of them with a long-term scale.

"Xiao Mucheng is also here, I don't even know." Tao Xuan smiled.

"The playoffs, of course, it's best to come and watch it live." Su Mucheng said.

"So you know glory too?" The light in Tao Xuan's eyes became even warmer.

Su Mucheng looked at Ye Qiu, as if he couldn't define his level.

Ye Qiu smiled: "It's not just that I understand, her level is already quite good." ”

Hearing this answer, especially from Ye Qiu's mouth, Tao Xuan seemed to be sincerely happy.

"What kind of profession are you playing?" He asked Su Mucheng.

"Gunner." Su Mucheng said.

Gunner?

Tao Xuan was stunned, and Wu Xuefeng was also stunned.

Because of this profession, there should be something special about the girl in front of her.

The person who just remembered Wu Xuefeng and felt gloomy, Su Mucheng's brother Su Muqiu, before he died, the newly trained character who was ready to enter the glory professional circle with Ye Qiu and Wu Xuefeng was not a gunsmith? And if Wu Xuefeng is not mistaken, that number is a female number, and in the name of the character, there is the name of his sister Su Mucheng.

"It's the rain and orange wind." Ye Qiu said as if he had guessed what the two were thinking.

The two were silent.

It's a sad inheritance, and they don't know what to say at this time. Even if Tao Xuan already had a plan and plan in his heart, he felt that now was not the right time to speak.

He sighed slightly, and was about to say something, but who would have thought that Ye Qiu had already looked at Wu Xuefeng and spoke.

"So, you can actually go in peace." Ye Qiu said.

Wu Xuefeng was stunned for a moment, but then understood the meaning of these words. But......

"Why does that sound so uncomfortable to me?" He said with a pretended displeasure.

"If you don't feel well, you stay." Tao Xuan also understood the meaning of Ye Qiu's words, and he was happy in his heart. The other party already had this intention, but he saved his tongue, so he also made a joke about Wu Xuefeng.

"Forget it, let's leave the future to you young people." Wu Xuefeng pretended to be old-fashioned and said.

Everyone laughed, and the elevator had arrived.

The four of them walked out, each heading towards his room.

"Xiao Mucheng." Seeing that Su Mucheng was going to his room with Ye Qiu, Wu Xuefeng suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong, Brother Feng?" Su Mucheng turned his head.

"Come on." Wu Xuefeng said.

"I will." Su Mucheng nodded.

Tao Xuan, who had stepped into the room first, couldn't help but secretly clench his fist when he heard the words behind him.

Here it comes!

What I've been looking forward to, it's finally here.

At this time, his mind was full of Su Mucheng's youthful and beautiful figure. How much attention will such a beautiful player attract in the league, and how many eyeballs will it attract in the circle of glory?

Especially, her level is not bad, since Ye Qiudu has affirmed this, it must be reliable.

Originally, Tao Xuan was thinking for a while, even if Su Mucheng couldn't, he would try to see if he could cultivate. But the answer given by Ye Qiu gave him nothing to worry about.

Maybe her talent is as outstanding as her brother who died early, after all, the two have the same blood.

Thinking of this, Tao Xuan couldn't help but be even more excited. He took a random bottle of wine from the wine cabinet in his room, opened it, poured himself a full glass, and drank it all.

The wine was not very good, but Tao Xuan drank it happily.

He glanced at the contract on the table that Wu Xuefeng had helped him put away, and later handed him before he entered the room, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

He stepped forward, put down his glass, picked up the contract, and without looking at it, tore it to shreds.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Mr. Liao's phone.

The other party was on the phone, but Tao Xuan didn't bother to wait, or pull it out later, and directly transferred to the other party's voicemail.

"Mr. Liao, I have thought about that contract clearly." "My answer is: No," he said. ”

His tone was firm and confident, and he hung up the phone without any extra explanation. After thinking about it, I simply turned off my mobile phone again, and I felt an inexplicable joy in my heart.

He poured himself another glass of wine, walked to the window, and looked out at the bright world.

"Everyone, wait and see, the myth of Jiashi, this is just the beginning!" He raised his glass and greeted the sky.
