Chapter 10 The Shock of the H4 Club

Having just shaken hands, the ten team members also stepped off the bus one after another.

Team Leader Su was shocked once again.

He looked at the minibus, then at Zhang Yuan, and finally at the team members.

Anyone who didn't know better would think it was the vehicle of some sports delegation!

Each of these team members had a tall, upright figure and solid muscles. They didn't look like esports players at all, but more like gymnasts.

The first five were okay, looking relatively normal, but the last five, they were all muscle monsters!

They looked like they could really throw a punch.

Team Leader Su silently acknowledged that this was not the style he had imagined!

We haven't seen any other esports clubs with members like this, have we?

What kind of training programs do you usually do?

Question marks filled Team Leader Su's head.

However, asking these questions would be too impolite, so Team Leader Su forcibly suppressed his curiosity and led Zhang Yuan and his group inside the H4 club.

According to the pre-arranged itinerary, they would first tour the club and then find an internet cafe nearby for a practice match.

Because Zhang Yuan really wanted to visit other esports clubs and learn some advanced experience this time.

Although the DGE club was training quite well with President Pei's training methods, Zhang Yuan still felt uneasy, wondering if he could absorb some experience from these old-brand clubs.

Huang Wang and the other team members were particularly excited.

The long-awaited H4 esports club, finally about to unveil its mysterious veil! Would they be able to see their favorite players and get an autograph?

The group followed Team Leader Su to the club's training hall.

Calling it a training hall, it was actually the original living room, with a full seven computers placed around the perimeter.

The living room wasn't big to begin with, and after being crowded with computer desks and seats, there was only a small open space of about 2 meters by 2 meters in the middle, with a coffee table placed there. Six or seven people already couldn't move around freely.

The H4 club's exhibition board was pasted on the wall, but it seemed to be quite old and very outdated.

As for the tables, chairs, computers, and so on in the room, Huang Wang and the others found it an eyesore.

It was a bit too shabby!

They were all very old-fashioned computer desks, which were narrow, and most importantly, they didn't take ergonomics into account at all. The position of the hands was obviously much higher than the elbows, and the range of the mouse was not enough. Playing like this for a long time would definitely be very uncomfortable.

As for the computers, they were also clearly not the latest configuration.

Because for some clubs, the main esports games they play are old games. Even for new games, in order to ensure the experience of most players, the configuration will not be very high.

Therefore, when purchasing computers, many clubs would skimp on this aspect, ensuring that the game can run smoothly. Why spend thousands more on each computer to get the highest configuration?

But in the eyes of Huang Wang and the others, these training computers were simply from the Stone Age compared to the computers ROF assembled.

A glance at the host without lights, and it was clear that the configuration couldn't be good!

Huang Wang whispered to Lao Zhou, "We're not going to be playing with these computers, are we? Don't mess with me, I'm afraid I can't exert even fifty percent of my strength with this computer. It looks difficult to use."

Lao Zhou also whispered, "It shouldn't be. They don't have that many computers here. We'll probably go to a nearby internet cafe."

Huang Wang felt relieved, "That's good."

Team Leader Su began to enthusiastically introduce the base to Zhang Yuan.

The approach was similar to that of the DGE esports club. After all, in order to save costs, clubs definitely rent villas or apartments. The layout of this type of housing is similar, simply turning the living room into a training room and the bedrooms into player dormitories.

However, the same approach does not mean the same experience.

Shanghai is expensive, and although it is in the suburbs, these villas are not very spacious. This living room is far inferior to the villas at Mingyun Villa.

The training hall at the DGE esports club is spacious and comfortable, but here, it is more crowded than an average internet cafe.

At the DGE esports club, there are two people per room, but here, the bedrooms are bunk beds, accommodating four people. Only a very few veteran players can enjoy single-room treatment.

During the tour, Huang Wang met his favorite *Star Sea* project professional player and was very happy to get an autograph. But other than that, his good impression of H4 completely collapsed.

What happened to the old-brand club?

What happened to the high-end and formal?

These players were originally internet-addicted teenagers who joined the DGE esports club as soon as they started playing professionally. The first time they went to the Mingyun Villa training base, they were indeed surprised by the superior environment, but this also gave them the illusion that all good domestic esports clubs were like this.

Now, after visiting the H4 esports club, everyone suddenly realized that our club's training conditions are too good!

Moreover, it seems that they rely entirely on ordering takeout for meals. Don't get me wrong, not the kind from Moyu Takeout, but random ordering, eating whatever is available. If the takeout isn't good, they take a couple of bites and throw it away, and then wait until they're hungry again.

This made Huang Wang and the others feel incredible.

Because at the DGE esports club, Coach Ya Ling had repeatedly emphasized the concept of nutrition, which had become deeply ingrained in their minds. It was completely based on fitness standards, eating small meals frequently throughout the day, including snacks, at least five or six meals, and a variety of foods to maintain a balanced diet.

In contrast, this place was just a large internet cafe?

If they hadn't stayed at the DGE club, then everyone wouldn't have felt anything was wrong, because going from an internet cafe to this kind of place was basically a seamless transition.

However, after enjoying such a good training environment and supporting facilities at the DGE club, seeing this place immediately made them feel that the conditions were too poor?

The team members looked at each other, each understanding the same meaning from the other's face.

This is too disappointing!

Of course, everyone wouldn't say anything. They still understood the most basic etiquette.

While everyone was touring, the H4 club's players were also secretly observing them.

Many people's faces showed shocked expressions.

Their first reaction was: What does this mean? Is our club going to have a get-together with a gym? That can't be, what's the point of guys getting together?

They saw that each of these people had solid muscles and upright figures, and they always felt that in the next second they would explode their clothes and shout "White Emperor Sacred Sword! Follow me with the sword!", which was frightening.

After Huang Wang and the others walked around the club, the H4 club's players roughly understood that this was another club coming to visit.

But in that case, it was even more bizarre.

What kind of mysterious club is this? Are they training for esports, or for traditional sports?

In short, the style of each other that the two groups of people looked at was completely off.

Soon, the tour was over.

Zhang Yuan was a little disappointed. He couldn't learn anything at all!

It seemed that President Pei was right. Domestic clubs are indeed too irregular now, and you can't learn anything from them. It seems that the most effective way is to follow President Pei's training methods.

Everyone returned to the living room, which immediately became crowded.

Zhang Yuan suggested, "Okay, thanks Team Leader Su. Then let's start the practice match?"

Team Leader Su nodded, "Okay, everyone wait outside for a while, I'll let the team members prepare, and we'll go to a nearby internet cafe."

"Uh, did everyone bring their own keyboard and mouse?"

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Of course."

Taking a keyboard and mouse to play games is common sense. A set of handy peripherals is as important to a player as a handy weapon is to a warrior.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at a nearby internet cafe.

Huang Wang and the others frowned again.

This... is far worse than Moyu Internet Cafe!

Although everyone had played games in similar internet cafes before, and this place, as a high-end internet cafe, was even better than the internet cafes they had been to before, Huang Wang and the others had obviously subconsciously used the standards of Moyu Internet Cafe to judge other high-end internet cafes.

We don't expect you to reach the standard of Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 Esports Lifestyle Hall, but at least you have to reach the standard of 2.0 or 1.0, right?

However, this internet cafe was basically only slightly better than Xing Le Internet Cafe, and according to Team Leader Su, this was already the best internet cafe that could be found nearby.

Everyone was melancholy, but there was nothing they could do. When you're away from home, you have to make do!

The two competition teams had to choose a private room each to ensure soundproofing.

Huang Wang couldn't help but recall a ridiculous experience he had once had participating in an internet cafe competition before entering the DGE club.

At that time, all the participating teams were arranged to freely choose seats in the internet cafe lobby, and before the start of the game, they all entered the custom rooms for the competition, and no one knew where their opponents were specifically sitting.

Moreover, because it was very noisy in the lobby, they couldn't hear their teammates speaking even with headphones on, so they all wore headphones and opened voice chat.

As a result, halfway through the game, Huang Wang suddenly realized that the big brother on the opposite side who kept loudly directing his teammates seemed to be playing the same game as him.

The five people on the opposite side were his opponents!

However, the commander on the other side completely didn't realize this, and was playing very devotedly. Halfway through the game, he shouted "Steal the dragon, steal the dragon" so loudly that Huang Wang could hear it clearly. He directly led his brothers over and wiped them out, dragon and all.

Although the lobby was very noisy and he couldn't hear clearly, the decibel level of the other side's shouting was too loud. It was estimated that it could be heard outside the internet cafe, which made Huang Wang very embarrassed.

If the other side shouted like that, should he pretend not to hear it? Wouldn't that mean letting them steal the dragon like that? That didn't make sense either.

He could only tearfully take over. Brother, it's not that I want to eavesdrop, it's just that you're shouting too loudly, and even if I plug my ears, it won't work.

After the game, the two sides stood up and shook hands, and the expressions on the other side were simply wonderful.

Especially the commander, this game would probably leave a permanent psychological shadow on him.

With each side in its own private room, this kind of confusing behavior wouldn't happen.

Zhang Yuan looked at the two captains, "Which team goes first?"

Huang Wang thought for a while, "We should strive for a good start in the first game, right? Team One goes first."

Team One was better in terms of routines, cooperation, and individual skills, and Huang Wang's developed biceps and pectorals were the best proof.

Jiang Huan nodded, it made no difference to him.

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Okay, then Team One goes first. Remember, pride comes before a fall. We can't imagine the foundation of big clubs, so we must go all out!"

Coach Ya Ling added coldly from the side, "I will record all the game records. If you lose, the whole team will have extra training when we get back."
