At the age of eighteen, he made his debut on the field with professional qualifications, became one of the main lineups of the Beacon Club at the age of nineteen, and was selected for the All-Star Game with a high vote at the age of 21.

Even if Dong Peipei collapsed in the middle because of Mu Kang's relationship, and even missed most of the season's games because of this, for many people in the outside world, Dong Peipei's disappearance is more like a "retreat practice" in some martial arts, because if when she was selected into the All-Star team for the first time, people would still question that her super high Internet popularity was related to her beautiful appearance, then Dong Peipei's re-selection this year may be the real deserved.

After all, not counting her excellent performance in the team competition, she can almost track down Ge Mingliang's personal winning rate and her zero error rate in all games, and there will be no more doubts.

Even in the eyes of many people, compared to Hou Mengqi, who is still known as the first female player in the league, Dong Peipei in this season seems to be more suitable for this NO.1 title.

Looking at Dong Peipei who was standing not far away, Hu Xiaopeng's heart was difficult to calm down, because it was difficult for him to imagine what this girl, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and looked like she was clearly a Loli girl, had experienced during that time.

"Okay, let's go, go up and take a group photo, and then it's time for those newcomers to challenge each other."

Under Xiong Tianci's soft reminder, Hu Xiaopeng and the players around him took the stage again to take a group photo to thank them, and after they stepped off the stage again, the temporary stage built by a number of engineering vehicles began to withdraw from the arena, because just half an hour later, a "rookie challenge" composed of 34 players was about to start.

"Hey, why didn't you go to the race? Aren't you also a newcomer? ”

Just as Hu Xiaopeng followed everyone to the viewing area specially prepared for them, Dong Peipei actually chased behind Hu Xiaopeng again and asked him.

"Huh? This one...... I don't have IA. ”

"No IA? What happened to your IA Xiaoqing? Was it because you were disobedient and confiscated by her? ”

"No, no, it's my IA that is being modified, so ...... for now"

"Dizzy, I almost forgot, you are still a mechanic, and according to Xiaoqing, you seem to be quite powerful, I don't know which of you two is more powerful than Sister Fei."

"Sister Fei?"

"That's right, Duan Fei, our chief mechanic of REG, don't you know?"

"Oh, come to think of it, you didn't play in the last game between our two teams, could it be that the rumors from the outside world were true at that time? Your IA has already started to be modified? In such a hurry? Don't even care about the rest of the game? ”

"Hehe, sort of, anyway, at that time, our WIN was already safe, even if it was a few more places, it didn't make sense, and we didn't want to enter the playoffs and mix with you strong teams."

"Yo, I don't see it, I'm quite self-aware?"

"Huh...... It's ok, it's ok......"

For Dong Peipei, who suddenly found herself again, Hu Xiaopeng was a little unclear at first, especially the topics she said seemed to be irrelevant, not so much curiosity, but nothing to say.

But soon, as she turned the topic to Mu Qing, Hu Xiaopeng finally understood why she came to her to talk nonsense.

It is undeniable that she and Mu Qing are still in touch, and they also know a lot about themselves and the situation of the WIN club, but knowing does not mean that they really understand, because what Dong Peipei cares about at this time is not just these things on the surface, but hopes that through Hu Xiaopeng, she can understand some things that Mu Qing is not willing to say and she cares about.

For example, Mu Qing's recent state, including mental state and work status, and other things that cannot be discovered through simple phone communication.

It's just that these meticulous observations are not what boys are good at, and Hu Xiaopeng is obsessed with IA machinery all day long, so even if Hu Xiaopeng really pays attention, then it is actually difficult to find any clues.

But even so, hearing Mu Qing's experience during this period of time, Dong Peipei did not embarrass Hu Xiaopeng, but frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, until ten minutes later, Dong Peipei turned her head and smiled at Hu Xiaopeng, and said to him in the tone of a senior who is an eldest sister.

"Alright, you can rest here for a while, and I'll go over there and see if there's anything I can do to help."

After saying that, Dong Peipei got up to leave, but before he could go far, he turned around and walked back again, whispering to Hu Xiaopeng.

"By the way, I have time to care more about Xiaoqing in the future, she puts too much pressure on herself, and in addition, tell Xiaoqing that if there is a need, I can go over at any time, regardless of whether the contract on my side expires or not, even if it is broken, it doesn't matter."

"Breaking the contract? This ......"

Hearing Dong Peipei's words, Hu Xiaopeng was secretly shocked in his heart, because he knew very well what Dong Peipei's words meant, but before he could ask, Dong Peipei had already turned around and walked outside the viewing area again.

"Old Bear, did you hear it, she just said ......"

As soon as Dong Peipei left on the front foot, Hu Xiaopeng couldn't help but hurriedly asked Xiong Tianci beside him, because even if Dong Peipei lowered his voice just now, it didn't mean that Xiong Tianci couldn't hear anything.

But who would have wanted to face Hu Xiaopeng's questioning, but Xiong Tianci was quite calm, just nodded and replied with a word.

"Hmm."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"It's okay."

"Okay? Minato, is your sister's name okay? She's an ace god. ”

"In fact, when she was in the last battle, she expressed the idea of playing for WIN."

"Oh? So why didn't you agree? If we had her, wouldn't we be ......"

"You're right, with her, we won't be so difficult last year and this year, but let's not talk about the above issues, just talk about the liquidated damages after she breaks the contract, have you ever thought about how much?"

"Liquidated damages? I don't know, I haven't understood. ”

"At that time, she had just entered the All-Star team, and the premium clause of the contract had just taken effect, if she really wanted to break the contract, then the liquidated damages that needed to be paid would be conservatively estimated to be no less than one billion."

"Ten...... A billion? I'm making a fuss, this is your sister's scary. ”

Hearing Xiong Tianci blurt out the "one billion", and it was also a conservative estimate of the minimum liquidated damages, Hu Xiaopeng was speechless for a moment.

"Yes, it's scary, don't say that we can't afford it, even any club will not accept such liquidated damages."

"How can it be so high? Is it an overlord clause? ”

"Of course not, and this kind of contract is not only in Beacon, in fact, it is the case in any club, without considering the peripheral products and endorsement shares, the general liquidated damages are about two to five times the contract salary, for example, if you want to break the contract now, although I haven't seen your contract, but it is estimated that you will have to pay up to 30 to 50 million liquidated damages to WIN."

"Because in order to make a player stay in the club, in addition to paying a salary that people can't refuse, it is natural to use higher liquidated damages to avoid the player's breach of contract."

"Although the price of this liquidated damages will decrease with the reduction of the contract period, for example, your liquidated damages may be reduced to more than 20 million next year, but it is undeniable that this is still an astronomical amount, especially for a player like her who has just become famous and still has potential in the next ten years, how can Beacon give up easily?"

"Even if she takes 10,000 steps back, if she really has no intention of staying in Beacon and doesn't want to fight for Beacon, then often the club's senior management will choose to hide her, or even find various reasons to interfere with her normal training."

"So you should know very well that when a player has no chance to play and is deprived of training opportunities, the impact is not only on his own fame, but also on the stagnation of strength and experience, and even the danger of regression."

"And even if the contract expires and you become a free agent in the transfer market, then you can't avoid the danger of ruining your future."

Listening to Xiong Tianci explain the reason for himself in such detail, Hu Xiaopeng finally understood why he still did not choose Dong Peipei, who was in full swing at that time, when WIN was obviously difficult to protect himself and urgently needed ace players to solve the siege.

Even if the reason Xiong Tianci explained at this time was that Dong Peipei needed to bear a high amount of liquidated damages and forced them to be unacceptable, Hu Xiaopeng preferred to believe that this was a concession made by Mu Qing and Xiong Tianci who did not want to see Dong Peipei destroy their future.

After all, regardless of whether the transfer is successful or not, even if it is not successful, then Dong Peipei will be excluded because of "dissenting intentions", and even face snow hiding and suspension.

And this may be the reason why Dong Peipei, who returned to Beacon, will be questioned after staying in WIN for most of the season.

"Alright, the game is on, let's watch the game......"

"Hmmm......"

Without further ado, Xiong Tianci and Hu Xiaopeng also focused their attention on the arena like everyone else in the viewing area, and as for whether the two of them were really paying attention to the game in their hearts, only the two of them knew.

Because compared to other clubs, there is no WIN player in this rookie challenge, and the so-called serious watching of the two of them is actually nothing more than a show.

Perhaps the only focus on the focus is on a few rookies from Leo and Katie's club.

If nothing else, just because a few of their players are facing not only this rookie challenge, but also the club relegation they will face after the game.

This is their last chance to show themselves in the Super League and the last chance to be interviewed by other clubs.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get some clubs to get back to the Super League instead of following Katie and Leyang to the First Division.

Even if it is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but a camel that has been stripped of its skin and flesh and has only its bones left, even if it has ambition, how much can it make waves? What's more, the first division is not all underdogs, and who doesn't want to be in the Super League and be a star in the spotlight?

Soon, the Rookie Challenge officially began, and 34 rookies competed in the arena for the crown of "Rookie King".

Some of them are very familiar with Hu Xiaopeng, and even have many experiences with them, including Cai Wenxiang of Bingfeng, as well as Lin Weiyuan of Blue Star and Wan Feng of Xuanji, and even Li Dahu of the Handun Club is also impressively listed.

Of course, in addition to these relatively familiar players, there are many more players who don't even have an impression, but no matter how strong these players are, it is still not worth mentioning.

Because these players are often bench players in various clubs, even if they are better, they are just substitutes, and there is little chance of representing the club, and the reason why they signed up for the competition is just to show their faces and increase their popularity.

The two-hour time-limited melee mode is not very long, but the intensity of the game is far more intense than the regular season, after all, in the big melee mode, everyone is on their own team, there are no teammates, no team assistance, there are only strong and weak, and whether you have enough luck to avoid everyone perfectly and successfully advance to the finals.
