Chapter 135 Assembling the Team

Although Ye Xiu didn’t use a cell phone, he still often used QQ as a means of contact. When he had just retired, he had received many messages, but he had uniformly ignored them all. Mo Qiang had asked him about it before, and now that he had the opportunity, he immediately wanted to gossip again.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when I have time!" Ye Xiu vaguely brushed him off.

"Are you really planning to form another team yourself?" Mo Qiang asked.

"I have that thought," Ye Xiu said.

"So, are you raising money now?" Mo Qiang asked.

"Not entirely," Ye Xiu said.

"Seeing that you're not having an easy time, I won't take half of your earnings, just the income from two accounts," Mo Qiang said.

"That's great!" Ye Xiu wasn't polite at all.

"Those five accounts, I think we should just form a team and kill together," Mo Qiang obviously didn't really have a gossipy heart. After gossiping for a few words, he accidentally returned to the main topic again.

"You can handle that!"

"Alright, just sit back and wait to collect the money!"

With the matter settled, Ye Xiu turned his head to see Chen Guo still at his side, with a rather complicated expression on her face.

"Hey, it's not easy to start from scratch," Ye Xiu said casually.

Chen Guo was stunned, feeling as if she had been stabbed again, and watched Ye Xiu take a cigarette, call out, and go out for a smoke.

Chen Guo returned to the game and saw that many people in the world were already discussing this matter. Many people were randomly sending coordinates, saying that Lord Grim was here for a while, and that Lord Grim was there for a while. Obviously, they were just trying to amuse everyone. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim wasn't even online at the moment.

Not only Lord Grim, but Unrivaled Super Hottie wasn't online either, and the five wilderness accounts in Zhan Lou Lan's hands were naturally not online. As a result, everyone here could only shout. What could they do if the person wasn't online?

The major guilds were of course watching even more closely. The fact that the person wasn't online was also a kind of success for them. In any case, their mission was to obstruct Ye Qiu's development in every possible way.

Ye Xiu came back after smoking a cigarette and logged into the game. Over there, Chen Guo's Chasing Haze received the notification that her friend was online.

"You're still going online?" Chen Guo was surprised.

"Why wouldn't I?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Be careful!" Chen Guo said.

"Yeah, I know. But I'm going to some deserted leveling areas now. I'm checking the situation to see if anyone will come all the way to try their luck because of this bounty," Ye Xiu said.

"Probably quite a few," Chen Guo said. She was quite familiar with the players' mentality. Five hundred yuan wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. The content of online games could be summarized as strengthening oneself. Five hundred yuan, not to say it was for the money, but just to treat it as equipment, as a prop. That was also a top-grade item in Glory. There wouldn't be few people who would come to try their luck.

"Well, if it's not optimistic, I'll run," Ye Xiu said.

"Actually, if you need a unspecialized account, you can find a power leveler and get one out quickly," Chen Guo said. She knew that Lord Grim's account itself didn't have much value. The main value was the silver weapon, and that unspecialized characters were extinct now. Apart from some bored people who collected souvenirs, this was probably the only account active in the game. But the power-leveling businesses of the studios didn't care about these things. They would level whatever you needed, it was just a matter of price. Leveling an unspecialized character and trading the silver weapon over would do. Wouldn't that avoid these pursuers? In addition, Lord Grim's account could also be used to generate income. That was what Chen Guo was thinking now.

"Heh, we'll do that when we have no other choice!" Ye Xiu said.

When Chen Guo heard him say this, she figured that this was probably a way out that he had already thought about, so she didn't say much more.

"Where are you?" Chen Guo asked. After Ye Xiu reported his location, Chen Guo immediately rushed her Chasing Haze over there.

On the road alone, Chen Guo discovered some players who were heading in roughly the same direction as her. It seemed that as soon as Lord Grim went online, many people noticed. Everyone knew this character's level, so he could only be active in the level 55 leveling area. Sure enough, they immediately took action.

"I see a lot of people have started moving towards the level 55 leveling area," Chen Guo said to Ye Xiu.

"Heh, the leveling area is so big, it's not that easy to run into each other," Ye Xiu said, as he continued to level up on his own. He was still in the Wilderness Town, which was the level 55 leveling area.

While leveling up, Ye Xiu also paid attention to his surroundings, finding a place that was convenient for observation. He didn't move around randomly. If he didn't see anyone in one place, he would keep leveling there. Wandering around would make it easier to bump into people.

He kept leveling like this, but he couldn't stay peaceful all the time. After being online for a while, players finally appeared in Lord Grim's field of vision for the first time. In the current situation, there was no need to distinguish whether this person was a player from a major guild. With the bounty issued, it could be said that he had truly become a rat crossing the street. Not a rat that everyone shouted at, but a rat with equipment worth five hundred yuan.

Chen Guo was concerned about Ye Xiu's situation and switched to playing the game beside him again. Her eyes were constantly glancing at Ye Xiu's screen, and she saw that Ye Xiu's leveling was quite uneasy. He had to move every so often. Fortunately, he was experienced and skilled. As soon as he spotted a target, he would flash away. At that distance, the other party couldn't even see the ID above Lord Grim's head, so he hadn't encountered any danger.

"Hey, are you being followed?"

Chen Guo was concerned about whether Ye Xiu was being watched, but it was Ye Xiu who reminded her about this.

Chen Guo was stunned. Chasing Haze turned her perspective 180 degrees, and immediately saw a chaotic group of people behind her, frantically trying to hide in a flustered manner as she turned around.

Chen Guo immediately understood. Some people might have learned about her relationship with Lord Grim, and were trying to find the five hundred yuan through her. Thinking of this, Chen Guo also broke out in a sweat. She was really going to find Lord Grim. If it wasn't for Ye Xiu's reminder, she might have brought a large group of people over. She was only concerned about Ye Xiu's side, but she almost caused trouble herself.

"Don't bother with this, I'll be fine. You'll be watched if you go online now, and something might happen to you. I think you should go play in the tenth server for a while? Take care of the guild over there," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo looked at the carefree bunch behind Chasing Haze, and was helpless, so she could only accept Ye Xiu's suggestion. In the tenth server, she also had a small account called Chasing Haze, which had also joined the Happy Guild, and held a high position. Although the super-low level was eye-catching, the people in the guild knew that this was a smurf account from the Heavenly Domain.

So Chen Guo started playing a smurf account in the tenth server, managing the guild. Ye Xiu was having a difficult time in the Heavenly Domain. Although he hadn't been surrounded and killed yet, his leveling efficiency was greatly affected. Chen Guo was very anxious at first, but seeing that Ye Xiu didn't seem to care much about it, she felt a little relieved.

On Saturday, the professional league saw some noteworthy events. In this round of matches, Excellent Era lost to Thunder in an unexpectedly bizarre manner.

After Ye Qiu retired and Sun Xiang took over, Excellent Era had returned to normal after a period of ups and downs. Although it was hopeless to reach the playoffs, they had returned to the style of a strong team based on their recent results.

Who would have thought that in this match, Excellent Era's condition, from top to bottom, was extremely poor. In the end, they actually had a score of 1:9. In all the matches, they only scored one point in the individual competition. The other events were simply a complete collection of mistakes. It was obvious that the people of Excellent Era were completely absent-minded.

Especially the final team competition. The Thunder team led by Xiao Shiqin was relatively weak in the individual competition and the team arena, but the team competition was a force to be reckoned with by any team because of his presence as a tactical master. As a result, Excellent Era, in a terrible state, lost the team competition in a brilliant manner.

The media was dumbfounded, Excellent Era's fans were dumbfounded, and even the winning Thunder team was a little dumbfounded. At the post-match press conference, when talking about their opponents, Thunder's captain Xiao Shiqin was so embarrassed that he couldn't even say a few polite words. This was because Excellent Era's performance in this match had nothing to commend. The most commonly used sentence, "They played well, but they were unlucky," had to be said with a tremendous conscience. Xiao Shiqin couldn't do it. He tried hard to find something to say about Excellent Era's performance in this match. In the end, he could only say a few words about Su Mucheng, who had performed relatively normally.

Happy Internet Cafe, as usual, did not broadcast Excellent Era's match that day, and the number of viewers was much smaller than before. However, there were still many people watching Excellent Era's match on their computers, and as a result, Happy Internet Cafe was in an uproar that day. Excellent Era's disgusting performance made many people even jump out and praise Chen Guo for not broadcasting Excellent Era's matches as being wise, and giving people a way out.

Those customers who had watched the match all had expressions as if they had eaten flies. They ran out the door and threw bricks at the Excellent Era Club across the street. This day's match was still Excellent Era's home game, and those players who had watched the match live gathered and refused to leave, shouting and scolding Excellent Era's disgusting performance.

Excellent Era in the current league wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of situation. This was because their performance in the first half of the year was also very bad, and there had been several occasions when fans protested on a large scale.

However, no matter how bad it was, it wasn't as bad as it was today. The performance of Excellent Era today, in the words of the protest banners temporarily made by these players, was four words: "utterly appalling."

When hope had just been ignited and they were full of expectations, Excellent Era's bucket of cold water was truly indestructible. The disheartened fans gathered, braving the cold, and refused to leave for a long time. Excellent Era was disgraced, and spokespersons, club managers, and team members came out one after another to express their apologies to the fans, appease everyone's emotions, and make promises about the future.

But, are promises really effective?

Sun Xiang, Liu Hao... all of Excellent Era's main players had a lifeless look on their faces.
