After the middle of November, the team gradually got busy and began to prepare for the upcoming "Death Elimination", this year there are 32 B-level teams in the Western Theater, and only two A-level teams can be promoted to the Western Theater after the "Death Elimination", "Heavenly Demon", "Flamingo", "Tyrannosaurus" plus "Blade". These four teams are the most promising teams to upgrade.

"Heavenly Demon" recruited two new team members to replace Zuo Haofei and E Zhengming after the battle with the "Prince", which also confirmed the lethality of "cold kill" to a professional team member, but Zhou Kai didn't know this, so far he didn't even know that there was a "cold kill", and his use of a dagger was actually a manifestation of his distrust in his marksmanship.

After nearly a month of systematic training, Zhou Kai has made great progress in all aspects, except for marksmanship. There have been three shooting coaches, and each one ended up hiding his face and running away. Now the bruises on the coach's forehead also show that he is on the verge of collapse.

The development of science and technology has made energy weapons replace fire weapons, and the characteristics of energy bullets make it easier for snipers to snipe at targets, wind direction, wind force, temperature, and humidity can basically be ignored, and you only need to use the cross in the scope to lasso the target. Even so, Zhou Kai, who was lying on the ground and shooting, still had zero results today.

"Phew! ~" Another gunshot rang out, Zhou Kai looked up at the coach excitedly and said, "It seems to have hit, I feel that the target has moved." ”

The coach slowly lowered the binoculars, his eyes were sparkling, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's moving, but it's the target next to it." ”

......

***************************************************************************

November 29, 2093, is an ordinary day, but it is a special day for Zhou Kai, because he met Guan Nantian on that day.

It was Sunday, Zhou Kai stayed at home without exception, he has been very upset recently, after joining the "Blade Team", he did not get the remuneration that Kong Xiyuan said at the beginning, there is no additional bonus if there is no competition, although the fixed 3,000 league yuan per month is not a drop in the bucket, but it still can't catch up with the consumption of the eldest brother in the hospital.

Originally, I paid the cost of the life-support cabin for two months in advance, but because of the mutation of the eldest brother's cancer cells, there was not much left after one injection. If this continues, he will be stretched thin for a month at most, and he will no longer be able to afford the high cost of subsistence. He has looked for Kong Xiyuan more than once, but under the deterrence of the general manager, Kong Xiyuan can only persuade him to work hard to improve his shooting level.

Zhou Kai felt that he had worked very hard, and he had tried the conventional firearms of various competitions, such as the KGS-II automatic pistol, the DSR-B90 sniper rifle, the GSC-80 energy assault rifle and even the MIE-K six-barreled energy machine gun. But he never got back that kind of shooting.

Lying on the old sofa, Zhou Kai was in a daze with his head on his hands, and a doorbell woke him up. They have few friends in this city, let alone relatives, and who will come to him? Maybe it's the haunting salesmen again. The door of the single-lens anti-lens titanium alloy glass steel has been in disrepair for a long time and has no function to see through the outside, Zhou Kai stood up and walked over and opened the door.

A middle-aged man in a crimson blue suit stood in front of the door, about forty-one or two years old, tall and burly, with broad shoulders, thin waist, fanned chest, a solemn and majestic demeanor, and a deep and generous demeanor. It doesn't look like those guys who carry things around to sell.

Zhou Kaileng paused for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't answer his words, but said to himself: "It's really hard for you to find, the address given by Wang Zifeng is wrong, he shouldn't have been to you, right?" Seeing Zhou Kai's confused face, the man said again: "What? Not going to invite me in? ”

As soon as he heard that Wang Zifeng knew him, Zhou Kai understood that this person was coming to him, and hurriedly invited the middle-aged man into the house.

Standing in the living room, the middle-aged man looked around at this small room, an old three-person sofa, a simple glass-plastic steel folding table, two bowls on the table, two unfinished steamed buns and something similar to pickles, there is an antique chest of drawers of glass-plastic steel next to the sofa, the age should be a long time ago, the surface of glass-plastic steel has begun to fade a little, and there is a group photo of three people on the chest of drawers. In the corner of the wall were some messy cardboard boxes and shoes, covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was obvious that the owner had not cleaned them for a long time.

The middle-aged man pulled over a single stool and sat down at the folding table, he really didn't have the courage to sit on the sofa that could no longer be seen on the surface.

Poured a glass of water for the middle-aged man, Zhou Kai took a few steps back and stood aside, the middle-aged man took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Zhou Kai, Zhou Kai took the business card with both hands, there was nothing on it except a name and a satellite phone number.

"Guan Nantian" ---- this is the name of the middle-aged man, Zhou Kai looked at Guan Nantian with a puzzled expression, and without waiting for Zhou Kai to speak, Guan Nantian took out a few more pages and put them on the table, and then said: "You don't know me, and I don't know you, but I've seen the video of your game and am very interested in you, and Wang Zifeng also highly recommends you, so I came here today to negotiate a contract with you." ”

As soon as he heard the word "contract", Zhou Kai seemed to understand a little, but didn't he know that he had signed "Blade" now? Zhou Kai was about to speak, Guan Nantian waved his hand to stop Zhou Kai, and he continued: "It's not the contract you imagined, I know that you are now a member of the 'Blade Team'. ”

Guan Nantian took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Kai, who shook his head. He lit it himself.

Zhou Kai felt a little strange, "It's not the contract you imagined. "What kind of contract would that be? He didn't speak, just stood quietly and waited for Guan Nantian's explanation.

Guan Nantian took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Do you know the underground competition of WARGAME?" ”

"Underground races?" Zhou Kai shook his head, did he only know that there was underground gambling, and there was also a shady competition?

"Underground gambling, you should know, WARGAME's underground tournaments are also a type of gambling. It is different from the previous gambling in that it requires gamblers to set up underground teams to participate in gambling. The underground team is a team with a loose management model, and many famous players at home and abroad have joined the underground team. ”

"And the professional team they signed with doesn't care?" It was the first time Zhou Kai had heard of this kind of thing, and he felt very curious.

"Their team won't know that all the players in the underground team are masked when they gamble, and even their teammates don't know who they are. Each person only has a code name, no name. Seeing that Zhou Kai was full of interest, Guan Nantian didn't continue, he picked up the cup on the table and drank the water slowly.

Zhou Kai also reacted at this time and asked, "Then do you want me to join your underground team?" I'm just a newcomer, how did you come up with me? After figuring out the other party's intentions, Zhou Kai had more questions.

"I am Wang Zifeng's father's business friend, Wang Zifeng highly recommended you to me when I was in Germany, and I also watched some of your previous game videos, and I think it's pretty good. So this time I came specifically to you. What do you think? Interested? Guan Nantian put down the cup and looked at Zhou Kai and asked.

Zhou Kai thought for a while and asked, "Then what if your game time conflicts with the game time in the team?" ”

Guan Nantian smiled and said: "Hehe, you can rest assured in these aspects, this is an underground competition after all, there is no fixed competition period, and the time is completely negotiated between us and the other party, so it will definitely not affect your normal game." And our team is not only a fixed five people, and the personnel can be changed at any time. ”

"Well, I'd better think about it again." After all, it was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, and Zhou Kai didn't know if it would have any impact on him, so he decided to inquire first and then reply.

Guan Nantian stood up and handed a few pieces of paper on the table to Zhou Kai, and said, "It's okay, the contract is left here, you can take a look at it first, and if you decide, you can call me directly." With that, he turned and walked out the door.

When he walked to the door, Guan Nantian stopped and turned back to Zhou Kai and said, "There will be a game next Sunday, if you decide, you can notify me in advance, and I can arrange for you to play." ”

After sending Guan Nantian out of the door, Zhou Kai thought while looking at the contract: Next Sunday? Next Sunday will also be the first game of the "Blade Team" in the "Death Elimination", so I don't know if I will let myself play this time.
