Chapter 1: The Expelled Master

"Kakaka, Da Da ......"

A pair of dexterous hands flutter and manipulate the keyboard and mouse, and the rhythmic tapping sound is like a light music. The light flashed across the screen, and the opponent fell down with blood in a flutter.

"Huh." Ye Qiu smiled and raised his hand to remove the cigarette butt that was attached to the corner of his mouth. The silver-white soot had formed a long string, but it was not shocked in the slightest as Ye Qiu waved his mouse and tapped the keyboard to perform the operation. The cigarette butt was quickly snuffed out in a strangely shaped ashtray on the table, Ye Qiu's hand quickly returned to the keyboard, and was about to say something to the opponent, but the door was suddenly opened.

Ye Qiu didn't look back, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he just asked, "Coming?" ”

"Here we are." Su Mucheng's answer was just as simple.

"Let's go!" Ye Qiu refused the opponent's invitation to fight again, gently took off a card from the login device dedicated to the online game Glory, got up and went to the hanger next to the door and took off his coat.

It was already late at night, but the Jiashi Club was still brightly lit. Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng didn't go far in the corridor before they entered another room. It's a large conference room, and as soon as you get inside, you can see an electronic display that almost fills the entire wall, showing the "Glory Pro League" record rankings and some technical statistics.

Record ranking: The Jiashi team has 3 wins and 16 losses, ranking 19th overall, second to last.

For the ace team that once created three consecutive hegemony in the league, this achievement is particularly dazzling, but at this time, it is hanging on the wall brightly, as if mocking everyone mercilessly.

However, the atmosphere in the room was not dull at all, on the contrary, it was a little warm. The members of Jiashi's team were surrounding one person like the moon at this time, and they turned a blind eye to Ye Qiu's stepping into the conference room, and those who could glance at it were full of indifference and ridicule in their eyes.

"Ye Qiu, the club has decided that Sun Xiang, who has newly transferred, will take over your captaincy, and Ye Zhiqiu will also be controlled by Sun Xiang in the future." When the club manager saw Ye Qiu coming in, he immediately turned around and said. There was no prior communication, no tactful expression, and it was such a cold notice to the point, ruthlessly like throwing off a ball of used hand paper.

Su Mucheng opened her mouth to speak, but was gently pulled by Ye Qiu, smiled at her and shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I took your place as soon as I came." The first seat on the left hand side of the conference table, the exclusive seat of the captain of the Jiashi team, was also the seat that belonged to Ye Qiu. Sun Xiang sat on it with a big grin and said this, but his eyes didn't even glance at Ye Qiu, this was no longer indifference, but a kind of ignorance. His gaze fell more on Su Mucheng, who entered the door with Ye Qiu.

To be fair, Su Mucheng is indeed more eye-catching than Ye Qiu, she is known as the number one beauty in the Glory Professional League. Even if she is out of this circle and thrown into the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women, she is still a rare beauty.

Even if Jiashi can see Su Mucheng's teammates every day, he can't help but be a little stunned when he sees Su Mucheng coming in at this time. However, they quickly came back to their senses, because now they felt that there was something more important to focus on worthy of their attention.

"Haha, what Brother Xiang said, this position is just right for you to sit." The people who came back to their senses hurriedly followed the previous words and grabbed the lines.

"Yes, some people are old and outdated!"

"The autumn of a leaf should also be controlled by you, Brother Xiang, so that you can really give full play to the strength of the fighting god."

That's the focus of everyone's attention at this time. Sun Xiang, a new generation of talented players in the Honor Pro League. Since joining the league at the beginning of last year, he has won the title of rookie king, and his personal number is not much better than that of MVP (Most Valuable Player) in the same year. This season, Sun Xiang led the mediocre Yueyun team to 13 wins and 6 losses in the league and ranked eighth, and was expected to enter the playoffs, but transferred to the Jiashi Club with a mess of results halfway. It's all because although Jiashi has a bad record, he has an account that is known as the God of Fighting in the glory of online games: Battle Mage Ichiye Autumn.

This young man who has been in the league for less than two years is not very old, but these members of the Jiashi team are cheeky and refer to him as a brother, obviously they have seen that Sun Xiang will be the future boss of their Jiashi team. After Sun Xiang accepted these flatteries very comfortably, he was finally willing to turn his head and glance at Ye Qiu, his eyes full of disdain.

"Ye Qiu, give Ye Zhiqiu's account card to Sun Xiang!" Said the club manager.

No matter how free and easy Ye Qiu was, his heart was inevitably a little stinging at this time. Ye Qiu, a leaf of autumn, you can know the relationship between this account and Ye Qiu by listening to the name, this is the account he created when he first entered the game world of glory. Ten years, this account has been with Ye Qiu for ten years, and the rookie at the end has become a big master known as a textbook level of glory, and the little battle mage at the beginning has also become a well-known "fighting god" in glory. However, after stepping into the professional world seven years ago and signing a contract with the club, the ownership of the club has been transferred to the club. Ye Qiu knew that there would be a day of separation, and this day finally came.

Ye Qiu's fingers trembled slightly. For a professional master, steady hands are a must, but now, the trembling happened to Ye Qiu, an old master whose psychological element was already too hard to be harder. Su Mucheng turned her head, she couldn't bear to see this scene, but she couldn't do anything.

In the gloating eyes of everyone, the silver account card of Yiye Zhiqiu was handed to Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang's eyes flashed with excitement and greed, he was willing to transfer to join the Jiashi Club, which has been much worse in the past two years, in order to have the top account of Ye Zhiqiu here, and his original manipulator Ye Qiu, due to age problems, has declined in recent years, and conflicts continue to break out with the club, Sun Xiang has 100% confidence to replace him.

"It's here!" The moment he caught the account card, Sun Xiang was excited, but he felt a trace of resistance from the card.

Sun Xiang felt Ye Qiu's reluctance, and smiled proudly and said, "Let go, Brother Ye." Look at your hands, they are shaking like this. How can such a pair of hands exert the strength of the fighting god? Let me do it! I will let the name of the god of fighting ring again to undo the whole glory. You? It's retired! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Sun Xiang saw that Ye Qiu's eyes that had been indifferent all along, only a little reluctant when he handed over a Ye Zhiqiu, suddenly flashed a sharp color, and he was shocked to find that Ye Qiu's hands, which were trembling slightly, suddenly stopped steadily.

"Did you like the game?" Ye Qiu suddenly looked directly at Sun Xiang and asked.

"What?" Sun Xiang was stunned.

"If you like it, take it as an honor, not a show-off."

"What do you say? What's the matter with you? Sun Xiang suddenly lost his temper, at this moment, for some reason, he felt as if he was a head shorter than Ye Qiu, he didn't want to lose to the other party in momentum like this. He came to replace Ye Qiu, and he came to get the autumn of the fighting god.

"Put it away." Just when Sun Xiang wanted to regain his momentum, Ye Qiu had already let go of his account card, and after saying a word lightly, he turned around and prepared to leave without looking back.

"Ye Qiu!" At this moment, the manager suddenly called out to him.

Ye Qiu stopped, tilted his head slightly, and heard the manager already say behind him: "At present, the club does not have a suitable competition account for you for the time being, so you can serve as a sparring partner in the team first!" ”

Sparring ...... A master who created a dynasty in the alliance and took all his personal honors was reduced to the point of being a sparring partner at this time.

Sun Xiang was very interested in this arrangement, and immediately took over and laughed: "With Brother Ye's level, there must be no problem with the sparring, you are the first sparring partner in the Glory Professional League!" ”

"Huh." Insulted by this, Ye Qiu could still laugh, turned around and looked at the manager: "Sparring? I don't think so, let's cancel the contract! ”

"Termination? Are you going to offer to terminate your contract? "The manager's look looks very interesting.

"Yes, I ask for a termination."

"Ye Qiu, don't be impulsive!" Su Mucheng hurriedly rushed over to stop him. The alliance has the rules of the alliance, except for special reasons during the contract period, any party who takes the initiative to terminate the contract needs to pay liquidated damages, Ye Qiu currently has a contract with Jiashi for one and a half years, if he forcibly asks for termination, the loss will be very large. But for Su Mucheng, what she was more afraid of was Ye Qiu's departure.

"The boss hasn't come yet, let's talk about it when the boss comes!" Su Mucheng hoped that Ye Qiu could calm down.

Ye Qiu had already caught a glimpse of the sneer at the corner of the manager's mouth, he shook his head at Su Mucheng with a wry smile: "Mucheng, don't you understand?" Asking me to go, that's the boss's purpose in itself. My savings are no longer of any value to the club, just a salary baggage. ”

"No, how can it be a burden, your strength will never lose to anyone." Su Mucheng said.

"It's not just a matter of strength, it's business, and I've never had any commercial value." Ye Qiu said.

"You should have it, but you chose to give it up." The manager suddenly interjected coldly at this point.

"Yes, that's my choice." Ye Qiu said. The Glory Pro League is now in full swing, and sponsors from all walks of life are emerging. The star masters in the league are naturally sought-after roles for advertisements and endorsements. But Ye Qiu, as the top player, has always refused any advertising and endorsement, and even refuses to pick up all kinds of interviews and press conferences, he is like a very old netizen, carefully hiding his true identity in the virtual world.

The club was unhappy with that. They saw a mountain of gold falling beside them, but they couldn't dig the slightest benefit from him. In the end, Ye Qiu's strength was strong, and he helped the club make a name for himself in the league and earn honors, so that they could always tolerate it. But with the decline of Ye Qiu's state now, Yiqiē is no longer what it used to be.

"The commercialization of the alliance allowed us to survive, but now ......" Ye Qiu couldn't say any more, and he didn't know if this development was good or bad. Today's league is full of copper, and the first consideration of every club owner is how to use the team to make money. With a love for the game and unremitting efforts to operate for the sake of honor, Ye Qiu misses the alliance that had just developed in the past. And now, the pursuit of honor is only for the greater good.

Su Mucheng stopped talking, she was walking on the same road as Ye Qiu, and she was also a veteran master who witnessed this qiē. Her eyes were soaked with tears, she knew that Ye Qiu was really leaving, and stopping him would only make him more painful.

"In that case, I ......"

"No need." Ye Qiu interrupted Su Mucheng with a smile, he knew what she was going to say: "Don't worry, I'm not desperate yet, I'll come back." ”

"Yes, it is worthy of Ye Qiu, who I know, he is really ambitious, so now let's talk about the issue of liquidated damages! To be honest, you have worked hard in Jiashi for so many years, and we will not be so desperate. Since you want to leave, let's sit down and have a good talk, how about negotiating the termination? ”

"Let's be straight, what are your conditions?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Refreshing, the conditions are very simple, as long as you announce your retirement." Said the manager.

"Decommissioned. You still can't stop talking about this condition? Su Mucheng was greatly annoyed. Ye Qiu is now 25 years old, which is considered an advanced age for their professional players in e-sports, and it is not surprising that he retired at this age. But Ye Qiu has already shown that he doesn't want to give up yet, and the negotiation condition that Jiashi Manager immediately said here is to retire, which is clearly targeted.

Retired players are naturally not eligible to compete in professional competitions again. Although there will be a comeback after retirement, the Honor Pro League stipulates that retired players can not make a comeback until one year has passed. Avoid some people retiring today and coming back tomorrow to change teams and play. Ye Qiu was already in the twilight of his career, and every day was precious, but now he wanted him to waste a year in vain. After this year, even if he hasn't given up on making a comeback, he is old and doesn't have a year of high-level competition to maintain his form, and it is questionable whether there is a team willing to accept him based on his former fame alone. You must know that Ye Qiu also has a very fatal flaw: he refuses commercial value.

This seemed to be an unacceptable negotiation condition at all, but no one expected Ye Qiu to nod his head very simply: "I agree." ”

"Are you crazy?" Su Mucheng was shocked.

"I've been tired for so many years, what's wrong with taking a year off?" Ye Qiu smiled.

"You...... What the hell are you thinking? Su Mucheng was puzzled.

"Nothing." Ye Qiu turned his head, the manager here had already handed over a few documents, Ye Qiu took it and smiled. The other party is really prepared! Thinking that Ye Qiu had already quickly put down the pen and signed his name.

I'm leaving...... Ye Qiu took one last look at the place where he had been for seven years, he didn't say any more polite goodbyes, and silently turned around and prepared to leave.

"I'll send you." Su Mucheng was the only one who followed him.
