“I have a friend…” Ye Xiu’s tone was also quite heavy, and the cigarette smoke curled between his fingers. The room fell silent, everyone feeling that this would be a very unusual story. Chang Xian even moved his recording pen forward, afraid of not being able to clearly record every word.

“Who was exceptionally good at Glory,” Ye Xiu said.

“Later, he died.” Ye Xiu sighed, flicked the ash, and then looked at Chang Xian.

Having done some interviews and often communicating with people, Chang Xian was no stranger to this kind of gaze, but its appearance at this time surprised him. This was the kind of gaze that said, "I've finished talking, it's your turn to speak." Chang Xian suspected that he hadn't understood correctly, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Is that it?"

“That’s it,” Ye Xiu said.

Everyone in the room immediately looked at each other. This really sounded like a cold joke made up on the spur of the moment! Was this guy just perfunctorily fooling the little reporter?

That was what everyone thought. Of course, Chang Xian would think so too, but there was nothing he could do! He couldn't point at someone and say, "You're bluffing, tell me properly!" In the interviewing business, there were all kinds of people. You really couldn't do it without the ability to endure. Chang Xian was full of expectations, but all he heard was a story of "I had a friend who was exceptionally good at Glory, and then he died." Besides silently shedding tears in his heart, there was nothing else he could do.

“Ahem…” Chang Xian coughed and shrank the recording pen back a little unnaturally. The story had short-circuited him for a moment, and he didn't know what to ask next.

Chang Xian pretended to take a drink, using the opportunity to sort out his thoughts. He drank three-quarters of a cup of water before he recovered.

“The unspecialized class, according to my understanding, requires considerable Glory experience. I wonder how long Brother Ye has been in contact with Glory?” Chang Xian asked.

“Ten years,” Ye Xiu said.

“Ten years…” Chang Xian was really a little scared this time. A Glory player with ten years of experience had probably been in contact with the game since its inception. Such a person, it seemed, was only Han Wenqing and a few other veterans in the current pro circle, right? Among the players, it was even more difficult to stick to one game for so many years.

“What’s so amazing about that? This old man has also been playing for ten years!” Wei Chen interjected at this time.

“Amazing!” Chang Xian continued to exclaim. This Wei Chen was the former captain of Blue Rain, which was originally a very topical subject, but Chang Xian was distressed that he didn't know this beforehand and hadn't done his homework. Former captain of Blue Rain? Wei Chen? He was a little unfamiliar with these. As a media worker, this shouldn't be the case. But Chang Xian had only been in the business for a year, and his homework wasn't so detailed and comprehensive. Therefore, when asking Wei Chen a question, Chang Xian seemed more cautious, afraid of offending the other party with his ignorance.

“That… Senior Wei, I’m a newcomer who has just entered the industry and haven’t caught up on your past deeds. Can you tell me about them here?” After much deliberation, Chang Xian finally asked Wei Chen in an honest tone.

“Hahaha, you want me to talk about my glorious deeds in the past? That would really take three days and three nights to finish. What, are you planning to stay here today?” Wei Chen asked.

“No, no.” Chang Xian wiped his sweat. “Or could you talk about a few highlights?”

“Highlights? Then I’d have to mention some big shots, like Ye Qiu. Of course, you know him, right?” Wei Chen said.

“Of course, I know him.” Chang Xian nodded quickly and was particularly happy. It would be even more valuable if this story could dig up the story of other great gods. Chang Xian was so happy that he only cared about listening to Wei Chen, but he didn't notice that when Wei Chen mentioned Ye Qiu, everyone in the room glanced strangely at someone.

“I’m not talking bad about him behind his back, but that Ye Qiu is really not a good person!” Wei Chen said.

“Ah…” Chang Xian’s hand trembled a little when he heard this. Even if professional players were fighting to the death on the field, with a lot of gunpowder, it was still rare for them to talk to such an extent. Chang Xian had a premonition that he would probably gain incredible content this time.

“Do you know why he never exposes himself?” Wei Chen said.

“I don’t know!” Chang Xian was excited! This was one of the great mysteries of Glory. Could it be that he would dig it out today?

“The reason is… this guy is especially despicable, especially shameless, and has no bottom line. If he were exposed in public, his life safety would not be guaranteed in any way,” Wei Chen said seriously.

“This…” Chang Xian was stunned. “Why do you say that?”

“Because he is that kind of person,” Wei Chen said.

“Where does that come from?” Chang Xian asked.

“Back then…” Wei Chen had a look of contemplation, and with the other hand, he gestured to Ye Xiu, indicating that he wanted a cigarette. Everyone couldn't look directly at him. How shameless was this! While ruining and disgusting people, he was still asking them for a cigarette!

Chen Guo, representing the forces of justice, immediately stood up, enduring the pain from the collision that hadn't completely stopped: "Little Chang, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Non... nonsense?" Chang Xian was dumbfounded.

"I said, the child has come all this way and it's been hard work. Be serious and don't talk nonsense here," Chen Guo said.

"Non... nonsense?" Chang Xian cried. He thought he had interviewed some super valuable material, but it turned out to be just nonsense. Compared to this obviously wretched uncle, Chang Xian was one thousand percent more willing to believe what Chen Guo said.

“Hehe, I’m also trying to make the interview content more interesting! Maybe I can write an article for everyone to find fault with, and let the readers pick out where the mistakes are,” Wei Chen said.

Chang Xian turned his head decisively. It was better not to interview this senior for the time being. He must first catch up on the lesson, and then directly throw some very targeted questions at him. This guy's skill in speaking off the cuff was just too high.

Chang Xian turned his attention and immediately focused on Qiao Yifan, his eyes lighting up again. A member of Team Micro Herbs, wasn't that also a super topic? Then, he quickly found Qiao Yifan and started chatting.

How honest was Qiao Yifan! He was a little nervous in the face of the interview, but he told the truth. After Chang Xian asked, he was a little disappointed. It was true that Qiao Yifan came from Micro Herbs, but the story wasn't very soul-stirring. It was just a player who didn't get a contract renewal from the championship team, and who didn't receive invitations from other teams. It could be said that he was eliminated from the pro circle, but he found a place in a grassroots team like Excellent Era. This... could barely be said to be not giving up. If you really wanted to talk about inspiration, Excellent Era hasn't achieved any results yet, so what kind of inspiration is there?

However, although there wasn't any soul-stirring content, the identity of being from Micro Herbs could still be written about. Chang Xian comforted himself simply like this, and casually turned his eyes to Tang Rou.

This girl's beauty really made Chang Xian, a young man who had just started out, a little embarrassed. At this time, he took several sips of water and sorted out his emotions before starting the topic: "Before I came, I was wondering what kind of player the Battle Mage Soft Mist would be. To be honest, I never thought that she would be such a beautiful miss."

"You flatter me." Tang Rou smiled.

"May I ask how long have you been in contact with Glory?" Chang Xian asked.

"If you're just talking about contact, I tried it quite early; but if you're talking about seriously starting to play, then it was when the tenth server started," Tang Rou said.

"Only been playing seriously for half a year!!!" Chang Xian was shocked again. What was going on with this Excellent Era team? Either they were pioneering monsters, or they were newbies from the new server, specializing in extremes?

As a result, before he had time to digest this shock, Bao Zi interjected, just like Wei Chen had done after "Ye Xiu's ten years," upgrading Chang Xian's shock: "I also started from the tenth server!"

"You too..." Chang Xian was a little dazed.

He suddenly realized that he didn't need to know too much about the deeds of these people in Excellent Era for this interview. Just these backgrounds, these data, were enough to support an introduction to a team. Why these people played Glory, why they gathered together—these conventional questions now seemed particularly pale. Chang Xian felt that there wouldn't be any more bizarre processes that could be more eye-catching than these people's backgrounds or data.

The future is long…

The sentence suddenly jumped into Chang Xian's mind. No matter what, the Excellent Era team was only in the second round of the Challenger League. Although they had won a great victory over the professional-level Team Boundless, no one could guarantee how much further they could go. Before they had a reputation to match their strength, he didn't need to interview them too deeply. Just the simple information he had now was enough.

“Everyone, can I take a group photo of you?” After Chang Xian thought that way, he was already quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip. He felt that Excellent Era had potential, so he shouldn't dig out everything he could at once. Leaving some content behind would also facilitate the establishment of a long-term relationship. During the interview, Chang Xian was constantly growing.

“A group photo… let’s not for now, right? We still have team members who haven’t arrived today!” Ye Xiu said.

“Um, it’s Little Cold Hands and Steamed Bun Invasion, right?” Chang Xian did his homework quite thoroughly.

“That’s right!” Ye Xiu nodded.

“Then… how about I take a photo of Boss Chen alone?” Chang Xian asked.

Anyone with a brain in the room would immediately realize that topics like "beauty boss" were especially popular, and Chang Xian probably had this intention as well. Of course, Ye Xiu wouldn't make the decision on this matter and looked at Chen Guo, waiting for her decision.

“Hehe, whatever, take it if you want!” Chen Guo didn't mind. In fact, the gimmick of a beautiful boss had already existed in Excellent Era Internet Cafe for a long time. Chen Guo didn't publicize it, but she didn't feign opposition either. After all, Chen Guo was a genuine beauty!
