Chapter 119 A Hint of Impulse

Wuji's elimination from the competition had already lowered Wu Chen's mood. However, he was a professional player with high standards, knowing that this was a competition only concerned with winning and losing. He didn't hold any grudges against Happy for eliminating them. However, these people from Happy were rushing over, asking about their team's future with ill intentions. No matter how professional and broad-minded Wu Chen was, he felt quite annoyed.

What would become of Team Wuji's future? As the captain, he was more aware of the situation than ordinary players. Currently, disbandment was a certainty. Their boss didn't have the ability to maintain the team's expenses for a whole year without any revenue. After all, they had already struggled to survive for a year after being relegated.

When a team disbanded, the characters, equipment, and materials would naturally become useless. Selling them off was the last bit of income in the Glory circle. However, in this situation, the price wouldn't be high. After all, these weren't hard currency. Outside of Glory, they were worthless. Their team was disbanding, so they were eager to sell these things, making it a buyer's market. Moreover, Team Wuji was a weak team, and their items were mediocre. It was questionable whether they could sell everything, let alone get a high price.

Wu Chen understood these reasons very well. To be honest, a team like Happy was a good buyer. Only a team like them would have an urgent need for the items from their weak team. Would the wealthy teams in the alliance come begging for the assets of Team Wuji? That was purely fictional.

That was the reasoning, but seeing Happy ask so directly, Wu Chen still felt a bit displeased.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu continued, "Don't feel uncomfortable. A competition is a competition, and business is business. You should understand that you don't have many buyers. In terms of sincerity, Happy is undoubtedly the best choice."

Wu Chen felt even more depressed upon hearing this. He hadn't explicitly replied about what would happen to Team Wuji, right? Why did this guy sound so sure that they would disband? But then he thought that this might be Ye Qiu, who was very experienced in this circle. It wasn't surprising that he could confidently judge their current situation.

Thinking of this, the unhappiness in Wu Chen's heart gradually disappeared. He replied, "I'm not responsible for these matters, but I can pass on the message for you."

"Okay, thank you. I couldn't find anyone else from your team, so I had to ask you," Ye Xiu said.

"Mm..." Wu Chen really wasn't in the mood to chat, so he saved words whenever possible.

"If we take over everything you have, how much would you estimate it to be?" Ye Xiu then asked.

"I'm not too sure about that," Wu Chen said. Actually, as a member who had been with Team Wuji all the way, what was there that he didn't know? But how could he reveal this information to Ye Xiu?

"Alright, I'll wait for your news," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay," Wu Chen replied. Soon after, he saw the other person's avatar go dark. Wu Chen sat blankly in front of the computer for a long time. At this moment, he finally felt very truly that Team Wuji, the team he had devoted his entire professional career to, was really coming to an end.

What about Xiaoqiang?

Wu Chen's gaze shifted and saw Xiaoqiang's account card lying quietly on the table. This partner who had been with him throughout his career, was he also going to part ways with him now?

Thinking of this, Wu Chen suddenly felt a little impulse. He picked up the account card on the table, walked out of the room, and went straight to the club's conference room.

Team Wuji had begun its countdown. After the final asset liquidation, it would announce its disbandment. The club was deserted, and everyone had expected this outcome, so no one was actively engaged. When a team disbanded, it wasn't just the players who lost direction; the entire club's staff faced unemployment.

The conference room was holding one of their last group meetings. Wu Chen, as the captain, had been notified to attend, but he declined. He knew that whether he, the captain, attended this meeting or not didn't matter. In the past, the club's decisions were made for the team's future, so it was necessary to listen to the captain's and players' opinions. But now, it was a decision about ending the future. Was the captain's opinion still needed?

The management also understood this, so they readily approved Wu Chen's refusal. So when Wu Chen suddenly arrived at the conference room, everyone was surprised.

The meeting was in progress, attended by the heads of each department. The captain, who should be the head of the most core department, was completely uninvolved in this meeting. Thinking of this, Wu Chen felt a wave of sadness again and almost lost control of his emotions. Fortunately, Wuji's boss spoke up at this moment: "Little Wu, is there something you need?"

The boss's question broke Wu Chen's train of thought. He composed himself: "Currently, do we have any interested buyers for the team?"

"Not yet," the boss replied, although he was surprised that Wu Chen would suddenly care about this. But he gave a clear answer to this most reliable veteran player: "We want to wait and see. If we can get an initiative, it would be less passive."

The club had nothing else to do now but concentrate on maximizing the value of its Glory assets. There was a significant difference in price between someone actively buying and them actively trying to sell.

"Someone has contacted me," Wu Chen said.

"Oh?" Everyone was surprised and then excited. "Which team?"

"Happy," Wu Chen said.

The room fell silent, and everyone was stunned. He An was the first to break the silence. As the club's manager, he was qualified to participate in this meeting: "Happy... They actually have the nerve to contact us..."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of," Wu Chen said. "A competition is a competition, and business is business."

"Wu Chen, who are you speaking for?" He An immediately became displeased.

"I'm just stating the facts," Wu Chen said calmly.

He An wanted to say something, but the boss stopped him. The boss's face didn't show the same anger as He An when he heard about Happy, but there was still a hint of distortion. Even Wu Chen had felt a bit stifled when Ye Xiu had contacted him.

"What does Happy mean?" The boss wanted to understand better.

"They're asking about our plans. If we confirm that we will disband, I think their acquisition will be very sincere," Wu Chen said.

"Sincerity..." He An wanted to scoff. However, since he could sit in the manager's position, his views on these matters wouldn't be so shallow. But his ideals and ambitions were cut off because of Happy. Hearing that Happy wanted to take over everything Wuji originally owned, it was difficult for him to remain rational. But he realized this himself and swallowed his words, not expressing his opinion and sitting there silently.

His forced silence better illustrated the problem. Even someone like him, with his emotions, couldn't ignore the fact that Happy was a very good buyer.

"Their sincerity... should be trustworthy, but we don't know what kind of assets this team has. The newly released *Electronic Sports Weekly* has a brief introduction. Their boss seems to be just an internet cafe owner?" the boss said.

Then others confirmed this statement, and everyone fell silent again.

Selling things wasn't just about setting a price and hoping someone would buy them. It was about fully considering the buyer's ability to pay. If Wuji really wanted to negotiate this deal with Happy, they needed to understand their exact strength. This would make it easier to grasp the bargaining space. Knowing yourself and your enemy was necessary for everything.

So for this possible buyer, the boss didn't rush to arrange someone to contact them. Instead, he arranged for people to start preparing.

"Find out what kind of internet cafe Happy runs, how many stores they have, how their business is doing, and if they have any other partners," the boss instructed.

Then He An and Wu Chen exchanged glances. Finally, He An opened his mouth: "Wu Chen and I went to Happy last time. It's very ordinary and doesn't seem to be a chain..."

The boss was stunned again. If it was just an ordinary internet cafe, then how could they have the qualifications to take over Wuji's assets?

Team Wuji couldn't hold on any longer. But it was a team that had competed in the professional circle for three years. The Glory industry was thriving, and even if they were disbanding and selling off, it wasn't something that anyone could pick up. Everyone present knew that the equipment and materials Team Wuji had accumulated were worth at least 30 million in the market. Even if they were having a clearance sale, the price wouldn't be so low that an internet cafe could afford it, right?

If Happy didn't understand this, it was strange. Wasn't it said that Ye Qiu was in charge? It seemed that Happy's internet cafe background was just a cover, and there might be a powerful force supporting them! This was something they couldn't understand.

"Who should we contact from Happy? Let's make contact first..." After considering, the boss finally made this conclusion.
