Hou Liping slowly put down the phone in his hand, lit a cigarette with a serious expression, and slowly sat down on the sofa. However, he did not smoke, and allowed the cigarette in his hand to burn on its own, and the smoke curled up sometimes straight, sometimes circling. After a while, the whole room was filled with the smell of tobacco leaves.

It wasn't until the cigarette burned out and burned Hou Liping's fingers that he suddenly woke up from his stunned state just now, and he hurriedly threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"Smack!" The door was pushed open.

Chen Zhengjian, the instructor of the team, walked in while talking to someone in the hallway, and the smile on his face proved that he was in a good mood right now.

He was really happy during this time, although the team only got the ticket to the "death knockout" at the end of the year, but this is also inseparable from the efforts of his instructor. Two days ago, at the post-game celebration banquet, Xue Hanlong, chairman of the group, also made a special call to affirm his achievements. As long as he can bring the "Hanlong team" to the A-level this time, then he can be regarded as a great hero, and he can't help but feel proud of his foresight when he faces his former colleagues as an instructor of the A-level team again.

In the past, no one wanted to come to the B-level team, the number of instructors was not a reason, and the problem of face was the most important factor, and some would rather be an assistant instructor in the team than go to the B-level team. The level of the B-level team is uneven, and the status of the team also fluctuates in the boss's mind with the quality of the results, and countless new and disbanded teams are built and disbanded every year, which makes the entire B-level team area a huge quagmire, and it is not easy to stand out from it. Once the team is not brought to the A-rank, the instructor's career is basically ruined, and even if there is a chance to regain control of the A-level team in the future, the salary is absolutely miserable. Who wants to wade into this troubled water unless they have to!

Chen Zhengjian was also forced to do so, the increasingly saturated instructor industry did not pose a threat to him, who knows, after the group boss came back from abroad, he unexpectedly brought back a foreign instructor, which was called to make the team go to a higher level. But Chen Zhengjian knew very well in his heart that all this was just because he said the wrong thing, after the team successfully won the fifth place in the league at the end of last year, he was afraid that the boss who would get carried away set an unrealistic goal for the second year, so he said, "If you want to go further with the current level of the team, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Although it was only said under the table, it still reached the ears of the boss.

With the arrival of the new instructor, he naturally retreated to the second line, and the way foreign instructors and domestic instructors lead the team is completely different, so he has become a deaf man's ear - a decoration. He had also contacted other teams privately, but now almost every A-list team had one or even two or three assistant instructors, and there was a place for him. At this time, it happened that Xue Hanlong of the B-level team was looking for instructors everywhere, and after learning about the high salary given by Xue Hanlong, he turned his heart on the side, so he came to the "Hanlong team".

Seeing Hou Liping sitting on the sofa sinking like water and not saying a word, Chen Zhengjian "chuckled" in his heart, could there be something wrong?

There was indeed an accident, the call just now was from Xue Hanlong, before, Xue Hanlong decided to go to Cui Boping, the boss of the "Red Top Club", in order for the team to get the last shortlisted ticket smoothly, but unfortunately, it was still a step late, not only a step late, Cui Boping also revealed in the words in the past friendship, the other three team bosses all found him first, the implication is that it goes without saying that the next game is a real job. This can make Xue Han's dragon qi one Buddha born and two Buddhas ascend to heaven, not to mention the other teams, could it be that the "Long Tao team" also thinks that as long as Hanlong loses, they can be upgraded?

So he made a phone call to Hou Liping, telling him to win the game no matter what, as long as he wins, the manager, the instructor, and all the team members will double the bonus, if he loses... What happens if you lose? Xue Hanlong didn't say it, but Hou Liping could imagine it.

After listening to Hou Liping's words, Chen Zhengjian frowned, and his two eyebrows were tightly locked together. Half a sound, he suddenly said to Hou Liping: "Okay! Let's not be in a daze, the game is going to be the day after tomorrow, call Zhou Kai back. ”

Zhou Kai has been very comfortable these days, and the return of the eldest brother has made their humble home full of vitality again. Qin Qiaotong went back to school because he still had to go to class, and there were only two brothers left at home, Zhou Kai specially took a few more days off from Hou Liping, considering that the later game was just a walk-around scene, so Hou Liping agreed without hesitation.

In the past few days, Zhou Kai told his eldest brother everything that happened after Wu Haodong was admitted to the hospital. These all these story-like experiences made Wu Haodong's eyes widen and his ears straightened.

Zhou Kai's sadness when he joined the "Prince Team" to avoid the pursuit of his opponent, the depression of not being able to play after joining the blade, the novelty of knowing Guan Nantian's contact with the underground game, the excitement of emerging in the underground competition, the hard work of training in the evaluation room, and then the fame in the "New Team Competition", and the "Trouble" and "Xiaobo Incident" that caused later......

All this made Wu Haodong have to re-examine this younger brother who has lived together for more than ten years, no wonder Guan Nantian said that he didn't know Zhou Kai. It turns out that this younger brother, who usually only likes to read books and study history, can burst out with so much energy and make life so colorful. This surprised Wu Haodong at the same time, but also deeply relieved that his younger brother had finally grown up!

Regarding Zhou Kai's choice, Wu Haodong did not mention it again, he didn't want to affect his decision. How to go in the future, only when he thinks clearly and decides, will he have the confidence to move forward without hesitation. This is also what Wu Haodong instilled in Zhou Kai since he was a child.

"Big brother! Take it. Zhou Kai handed the bank card on his body to Wu Haodong.

"What? Do you think your big brother is a piece of shit? It's going to be up to you to feed you in the future? Isn't it? Little hairy kids! ”

"Smack!" Wu Haodong gently slapped Zhou Kai on the back of the head.

"It's not! Big brother, you see that our family is too unpresentable, if a friend comes in the future, or a classmate of my little sister comes, I am embarrassed to receive others. I mean..."Zhou Kai said aggrievedly as he touched the back of his head.

"Huh? Friend? What friends? Girlfriend? Wu Haodong suddenly looked at Zhou Kai with a strange expression.

"Why!! Nothing, I'm just saying if. Zhou Kai's face turned red, because when Wu Haodong said the word "girlfriend", he suddenly remembered Shu Xiao.

"Hmm... Well... Well... Problematic! Hey! Wu Haodong kept nodding while circling around Zhou Kai.

"Forget it! I won't tell you, I'm going to the toilet. Zhou Kai wanted to urinate when he saw that the situation was not good.

Wu Haodong didn't seem to hear what he said, he stood aside and said thoughtfully: "By the way, the third sister told me that day that when you were hospitalized, you saw a girl bringing you food, it seemed to be called Shu... Unfold.. What's Shu? ”

"Shu Xiao!" Seeing that Wu Haodong couldn't come out for a long time, Zhou Kai hurriedly replied, as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

"Haha! Right! It's Shu Xiao, why do you remember other people's names so well? Wu Haodong looked like he had succeeded in his plan.

"......" Zhou Kai didn't speak, walked through the living room, and got into the toilet.

Actually, he didn't know if he liked Shu Xiao, he just liked the feeling of being with her. Since he was a child, except for Qin Qiaotong, no other girl has ever been so close to him. A few days ago, Shu Xiao called him, saying that he wanted to pay him back, and then he remembered that he had given Shu Xiao a thousand yuan for food, but he was picked up by Guan Nantian after he didn't stay in the hospital for a few days.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and when he heard Shu Xiao's voice, he had an indescribable feeling, and he didn't know what it was, but it was very comfortable anyway.

So when his eldest brother talked about "girlfriend" just now, he unconsciously remembered Shu Xiao.

There was a ringing of a cell phone in the living room.

"Second brother! Phone! Wu Haodong shouted loudly.

"It's coming!" Zhou Kai hurriedly washed his face with cold water, watching the red tide on the face of the person in the mirror gradually fade, he pushed open the door and walked out of the bathroom.

Zhou Kai sat in Chen Zhengjian's office, looking at the video of the "Red Top Team" game played on the particle screen on the wall, he didn't expect that he would see an acquaintance here again.

Han Dong and Duan Xiaoqi, Duan Xiaomiao are two brothers. Since the disbandment of the "Prince Team", he has no news of them, and everyone is not very familiar with each other, and he has only participated in one competition, so Zhou Kai has never paid attention to their whereabouts.

I didn't expect them to be in the "Red Top Team", and it seems that they are mixing well, although Han Dong is only the vice captain, it also fully shows the extent to which he is reused. The combat skills of the two Duan brothers have also improved significantly, so it is no wonder that the "Red Top Team" can easily rank second this time.

The characteristic of this "red-top team" is that the attack power is very strong, especially the captain, his spear throwing skills are about to break through two consecutive hits, coupled with Duan Xiaoqi's "precision firepower" that has begun to take shape, which makes them stand out in the B-level team. Even the "Pearl Team", the first place in this selection competition, has lost to them, if it weren't for the different scoring methods this time, if it were calculated based on the winning rate alone, they would be the first place to go.

However, their weakness is also obvious, which is the single tactic. Zhou Kai watched a few games of them, and the only tactics he saw were the "three fierce tactics" - punching, rushing, and chasing.

But it is this simple tactic, combined with their strong attack power, but many tactical flexible opponents suffer a lot, in the face of absolute attack power, no tricks are useless, this is the so-called "one force to ten meetings".

It is precisely because of this tactic that if the opponent they encounter is a little stronger, even if they win, they can only win miserably, which is why they are ranked second. However, there are really few B-tier teams that have stronger attack power than them.

Zhou Kai also thought about "breaking a thousand catties with skill", but this is in the "Hanlong team", not an experienced underground arena, with the strength of the current Hanlong players, he can't cooperate with Zhou Kai at all, so he can only dispel this idea.

In addition to the hard work of real knives and guns, Zhou Kai really can't think of any good way.

"It looks like I'm going to have to work hard again to win this fight!" Zhou Kai secretly pondered in his heart.

Seeing Zhou Kai looking at the screen in a daze, Hou Liping, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but ask, "How is it?" Do you see something? ”

Hearing Hou Liping's question, Zhou Kai came back to his senses, he turned his head to look at Hou Liping's expectant gaze, and shook his head gently.

Seeing Zhou Kai shaking his head, Hou Liping was like a deflated ball, and he fell on the sofa in a flash, his face full of disappointment.

Chen Zhengjian, who was sitting on the side, spoke.

"They're really attacking because they're shooting very accurately, and they've been last to take a couple of games. So, I think our tactics should be around how to reduce their attacking power. ”

"I agree!" Zhou Kai, as the captain, was of course the first to raise his hand in favor, and he also thought that Chen Zhengjian was on the point.
