Chapter 1 The Team Competition Begins

The team competition between Team Excellent Era and Team Unrivaled finally began. This was still Team Unrivaled's home game, but this time the map selection was finally no longer Riverside Veranda.

Spring Flame Flag Sea.

A school field at sunset, with banners of various colors fluttering in the wind. These banners weren't just decorations; each one was a marker, placed either at the site of a spring or on a fire vein. These areas weren't to be stepped on casually. It was precisely because of these flags that there were many things to consider when fighting on this map. Anyone who hadn't received specialized training would definitely feel restricted. Team Unrivaled chose this map to continue their strategy of taking advantage of their opponents' lack of professionalism.

In the audience channel, the die-hard fans of Team Unrivaled were stubbornly cheering them on. Those who had come only to see Team Excellent Era make a fool of themselves were now much more subdued, even though they were still hopeful. Some had even already left.

Some left, and others came in. The challenge competition room numbers were completely open to the public, and the schedule clearly showed each team's match room.

No one noticed the several characters who had just entered the match room, and these characters didn't do anything particularly noteworthy. They entered the spectator area, glanced at the current score, and were immediately shocked.

"4.5 to 1?"

Excellent Era Club, conference room.

After watching Team Excellent Era sweep their opponents with a clean 9.5 to 0 victory, Excellent Era's boss Tao Xuan and manager Cui Li immediately switched the characters they were using to watch the match to Team Excellent Era and Team Unrivaled's room.

When they saw that Team Excellent Era had drawn this matchup, they laughed. They didn't deny that Team Excellent Era, with Ye Qiu sitting at the helm, would definitely have some combat strength. However, in the second round of the challenge competition, they had actually drawn a team with professional origins. They could only lament that luck wasn't on their side.

Tao Xuan didn't have any attachment to personally burying Team Excellent Era and Ye Qiu. As long as Team Excellent Era was gone, in whatever way, he would feel relieved. Now that Team Excellent Era had such bad luck, Tao Xuan saw it as a great stroke of fortune. However, as the heads of two clubs, Tao Xuan and Cui Li were still responsible and stayed with their own team first, although no one thought that Excellent Era would have any problems here.

After the match ended, the two congratulated their team members as usual, and then quickly switched over to watch Team Excellent Era make a fool of themselves.

The challenge competition's dedicated arena, of course, had scoring. Cui Li held a character, and as soon as he entered the room and saw the score above, both he and Tao Xuan couldn't help but shake their heads and open their eyes again.

4. 5 to 1.

Team Excellent Era had 4.5 points, and Team Unrivaled had 1 point.

They hadn't misread it, nor had they reversed it. Team Excellent Era was currently leading with an absolute advantage. If they won the next team competition, then winning another 2 points would ensure victory.

Tao Xuan and Cui Li exchanged glances. On the screen, the match had already started. Cui Li put the God's Perspective on Team Excellent Era's characters, and after watching for only a few seconds, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is impossible!"

"What?" Tao Xuan, who was absentmindedly thinking about something, snapped back to reality when he heard Cui Li's shout. He saw Cui Li pointing at the screen, and after taking a look, he was also stunned.

What surprised them both was the equipment of Team Excellent Era's members.

To be honest, the quality of this equipment wasn't enough to scare the two giants of Excellent Era. But the problem was that this was completely different from what they knew about Team Excellent Era, who should have been very poor. Where did all this equipment suddenly come from, and even silver equipment?

The audience's God's Perspective, unlike the two sides in the battle, didn't need to be within a certain distance to check equipment. They could just click on a character to see their equipment. The attributes of silver equipment were always hidden, but the silver font wouldn't be fake. Although there was also trash silver equipment, they were wearing it to fight in the competition, so they couldn't be bluffing.

"One piece, two pieces, three pieces…" Cui Li counted the five characters Team Excellent Era had sent out, one after another. As the numbers increased, the tone even changed. He finally stopped at seventeen. This amount of silver equipment wasn't much for a professional team, but for Team Excellent Era at this time, it was enough to shock Tao Xuan and Cui Li.

After counting, Cui Li turned back and looked at the boss's expression. He found that it was the same as his own: incomprehensible, unbelievable.

How long had Team Excellent Era been messing around? They actually had seventeen pieces of silver equipment so quickly. They had a lot of resources?

Tao Xuan and Cui Li were both extremely familiar with how a team operated. To come up with seventeen pieces of silver equipment, this wasn't a simple matter. The two were stunned for a while. The two sides in the match had already started fighting, but it couldn't attract their attention.

"Call Chen Yehui over," Tao Xuan suddenly ordered.

As a business manager who understood the boss's thoughts, Cui Li was quite competent. As soon as he heard the boss's order, he immediately understood the intention. He quickly took out his phone and called Chen Yehui, while also arranging what the boss hadn't said.

Chen Yehui was also watching Team Excellent Era's match at this time! But unlike Tao Xuan and Cui Li, he didn't put on any airs at Excellent Era. He had sneaked into the Team Excellent Era and Team Unrivaled's room to watch from the very beginning. Standing with the face-slapping party made Chen Yehui feel excited. It was rare to have so many understanding people!

Who would have thought that next, he and these understanding people would have their faces slapped until they were black and blue. The defeat of Team Excellent Era, which they had been eagerly awaiting, never appeared after the first singles match.

Chen Yehui had already clicked on each of Team Excellent Era's characters to check them out, and the result naturally shocked him. He really didn't know about so much silver equipment beforehand. News from all channels hadn't revealed anything. However, as the leader of the guild in the game, Chen Yehui was also on the front line of snatching Bosses, so he naturally knew how popular the alliance army that Jun Moxiao had gathered recently was.

However, although they had snatched a considerable number of Bosses, they had to be divided among five guilds, so the harvest for each guild wasn't particularly amazing. Could they have made so much silver equipment with just this amount of harvest during this period?

Chen Yehui shook his head as he flipped through the materials. Just then, he received a call from Cui Li, asking him to bring over the work report on snatching wild Bosses during this period.

When Chen Yehui heard this, he understood what was going on. He was just about to look for materials in this area, so he quickly found them and rushed to Excellent Era's conference room.

Excellent Era training room.

Although it was an online competition, as a team, to cultivate team awareness, they wouldn't just let everyone find a place and play on a computer casually. For competitions, the players still had to be together.

However, such a trivial challenge competition, a player team that had nothing to do with the professional scene, didn't require Excellent Era to take it too seriously. Winning wasn't anything to be happy about; it was just too natural.

As soon as the match ended, the members of Excellent Era left the training room one after another. They didn't need to care too much about this match. However, after leaving the training room and returning to their respective rooms, everyone invariably turned on their computers and logged into Glory. They grabbed a random account and ran to the challenge competition's dedicated area, and then rushed into the room they had already inquired about.

4. 5 to 1?

Excellent Era was leading?

Everyone was surprised. Amidst the surprise, they couldn't help but feel a trace of unease. Team Excellent Era… didn't seem to be such an easy opponent to deal with?

Among the uneasy people, there were also those who were very happy. Su Mucheng took her account and shouted loudly in the audience channel, "Excellent Era, add oil!" (加油, jiāyóu - a Chinese expression of encouragement).

Just four words, inconspicuous, but this was the first voice that directly cheered for Team Excellent Era tonight. Most of the audience who were biased towards Team Excellent Era were just there to watch others make a fool of themselves. They didn't really have any feelings for Team Excellent Era. Even if they shouted "Excellent Era, add oil!", it was just to disgust others.

And now, Su Mucheng's character suddenly shouted this, and it immediately stood out. Those who would actively run over to slap faces and watch the fun were all passionate heroes. Although Su Mucheng only said a simple sentence, it was an open challenge, and the face-slapping onlookers immediately felt a little impulsive.

Before they could react, Su Mucheng's character posted another sentence, "Excellent Era will win!" Immediately afterwards, "Excellent Era, add oil!" and "Excellent Era will win!" were frantically spammed in alternation. Su Mucheng hadn't even used her hand speed so fiercely during the match just now, but now she released it all, instantly dominating the screen.

"Outrageous!!!" The face-slapping onlookers finally couldn't hold back and began to retaliate. But Su Mucheng had already shifted her focus to the match. She directly hid the audience channel on the side, as there wouldn't be any important information there. The commands or exchange of text between the two teams would be displayed on the channel used for the match.

And after carefully looking at the situation of the match, Su Mucheng wasn't as happy as before. On the other hand, the other players from Unrivaled felt a sense of relief. Although they didn't know how Team Excellent Era had taken the lead before, judging from the current team competition, it didn't seem so scary?

In the conference room, Tao Xuan and Cui Li's emotions were gradually smoothed out by the match. Chen Yehui, who had been worried and brought the materials to the conference room, was greeted by the boss with a kind greeting: "You're here? Sit down."

Chen Yehui was a little confused and didn't know whether to hand over the prepared materials. He cast an inquiring look at Cui Li, who reached out and took the materials to browse through. Chen Yehui had nothing to do, so he also looked at the match being projected on the screen in the conference room.

After all, these people were mixed in the professional circle. Although they didn't have the skills of professional players, they mostly had some professional-level insight. After watching for a few seconds, Chen Yehui immediately determined the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and understood why the boss looked to be in a good mood.
