Chapter 151 Boss Luck

A week passed quickly. As expected, Zhang Xinjie and Lin Jingyan joined forces for Tyrannical Ambition and swept all before them in the Boss battles. It was a shame that the other teams could only watch with envy as these pro gods worked so hard. In any case, the situation had already been reported to higher-ups, so they would just grit their teeth and try their best, whether they could snatch the Boss or not! Such things were not unfamiliar to the club guilds during these two months of summer, but Tyrannical Ambition was particularly strong this time around.

As for the other club guilds, it wasn't as if they had no professional players helping out at all. Blue Brook Guild had Lu Hanwen, who was as diligent and brave as ever. This young man seemed to have endless energy, and no amount of failure could deprive him of his fighting spirit. He would lose again and again, but the next day he would still be full of vigor, cheering and encouraging the rest of the guild.

Herb Garden had Liu Xiaobie participating. He was another well-known hand speed expert in the pro scene, but because he never mastered the art of controlling his speed, he couldn't fully utilize his advantage. His role in team battles, like Lu Hanwen, was mainly focused on individual combat power. Herb Garden's addition of him didn't help them gain any advantage against a tactical master like Zhang Xinjie.

Excellent Dynasty, another traditional powerhouse guild, was still remembered despite their team's relegation. However, their competitiveness was mediocre, and they didn't have any particularly outstanding performances.

In addition, Samsara Guild, the new champions, also had a bad week, continuing to be the most disappointing of the new champions. Moreover, it was rumored that the elite first and second teams of Samsara Guild were often at odds, and their relationship seemed strained. Many guilds sensed an opportunity, and their poaching squads were already itching to make a move.

Another more prominent team was Team Howling. The newly joined player, Tang Hao, was also exceptionally diligent, occasionally joining the online game teams to help out. Zhao Yuzhe, who won the Best Rookie award last season, also frequently appeared in the game.

However, the biggest gains were still made by Tyrannical Ambition. The other teams' professional players only showed up as randomly as the Bosses themselves, not maintaining a regular presence. Only the two from Tyranny were there every day, as steadfast as the staff of an online gaming studio.

Although Tyrannical Ambition was dazzling, the most attention was still focused on Ye Xiu's four-guild alliance. After all, these guilds were originally not considered opponents by the other guilds, but now they had become the biggest winner of the week besides Tyrannical Ambition.

The daytime belonged to Tyrannical Ambition, and the nighttime belonged to the four-guild alliance. In the end, it definitely wouldn't be any of the other guilds'.

As for Ye Xiu, in addition to snatching the most Bosses after Tyrannical Ambition, he also killed Deception several times this week. Besides Deception's main account, there was also the alt account called Mobai, and another alt account called Baimo was discovered. Truly, a crafty rabbit had three burrows. This Deception was using three accounts and occasionally appeared on the biggest battlefield for snatching wild Bosses. As a result, whenever Ye Xiu ran into him, he would definitely die. Some deaths were confusing, and some were clear, but after dying clearly, they could basically guess what had happened in the confusing deaths.

Deception was suffering! His earnings this week had really dropped a lot. What was even more annoying was that Ye Xiu's power was beyond his imagination. He couldn't avoid them just by watching a few people. Deception had no idea who was part of Ye Xiu's forces. In any case, whenever any of his accounts appeared in a Boss fight, people would shout and kill him.

Deception really wanted to ask Ye Xiu what he wanted. However, he hadn't seen Ye Xiu's character in the four times he died recently, so he never got the chance to ask.

That was generally how things were in the game this week. In the transfer circle outside the game, there were also many transfers, but the heavyweight figures were only Lin Jingyan and Tang Hao. Xiao Shiqin was also a big figure, but because he joined Excellent Era, which wouldn't be competing in the league next season, after being scolded as a brainless idiot for a while, basically no one cared much about his situation anymore.

The summer news in the Glory scene was mostly centered around transfers, with all sorts of rumors and speculations filling the air. The most popular transfer topic this week was guessing which player the Hundred Blossoms team, with a ten million yuan check in hand, would sign to become the operator of their core character Dazzling Hundred Blossoms.

However, since Zhang Jiale retired, no other Launcher in the league had reached his level. There wasn't a single player who seemed qualified to become the ace core of a team. In this case, the possible candidates seemed even more numerous. Zheng Xuan of Blue Rain Team, Shen Wanhe of Wind Howl Team, and Ge Zhaolan of Void Team were all relatively good choices. However, compared to Zhang Jiale's god-level, these people seemed lacking. To be the ace core of a team? Could any of these players suddenly explode with potential? Some people even believed that since there were no Launchers in the league who could overwhelm the others, Hundred Blossoms might as well give Zou Yuan another year to prove himself, since Zou Yuan was familiar with Hundred Blossoms' environment and techniques. Last season, Tang Hao's strength had caused the team's tactics to be somewhat distorted, and Zou Yuan's core position hadn't been well established. This season, they could consolidate Zou Yuan's core position and hone it for a season, which might not be worse than buying a player from outside.

There were many opinions, but Hundred Blossoms Team hadn't made any moves yet. Transfers were all about striking first. In the end, they might not have any good choices left, and they might not be able to spend their ten million yuan check. Because a player could only transfer once during a transfer period. If a player that Hundred Blossoms Team had their eye on was snatched away by another team, then they wouldn't be able to sign that person this summer no matter what. Hundred Blossoms Team's lack of movement in the transfer market and their failure to announce their intention to consolidate Zou Yuan's position made their fans anxious. Many people thought of their retired captain, Zhang Jiale.

Zhang Jiale's retirement was quite sudden. With his skill level, no one thought he had reached the point where he needed to retire. Zhang Jiale joined the pro league in the second season and was 25 years old this year. In the esports world, that was an older age, but it wasn't an age where he couldn't persevere. Especially with the development of the league and the constant innovation of tactics, the survival space for older players had greatly increased. Lin Jingyan joined Tyranny, and Han Wenqing shouted the slogan of winning the championship. These two veterans were both two years older than Zhang Jiale. If they still had such ambition, why couldn't the younger Zhang Jiale make a comeback?

This was still just the fans' expectations and the players' guesses. Hundred Blossoms Club hadn't made any statement about it.

In the second week of the summer transfer period, there were no big names. However, Blue Rain Team announced a teenager who was promoted from the training camp and would be registered as an official Blue Rain team player next season: Lu Hanwen.

This unknown newcomer wouldn't have attracted much attention, but Blue Rain Team specifically held a press conference for this new soldier and called him Blue Rain Team's most important "transfer" of the new season. This high-profile confidence attracted countless curious onlookers.

The media investigated and were shocked.

Lu Hanwen was only 14 years old. If he was registered as a formal player, he would break the record for the youngest player in the professional league.

In the early years, the Glory professional scene had strict age restrictions. Players had to be at least 18 years old, have full civil capacity, and be able to independently conduct civil activities. This was of course related to the social environment at the time. Too many people viewed electronic games as a distraction from proper work, and being a pro gamer was seen as unreliable by many people. In such an environment, it would be easier to be pushed into the spotlight if underage children were brought in as players and their education was delayed.

With the booming development of the Glory Professional Alliance driving the esports industry in recent years, this industry has finally been accepted by some people and is no longer viewed as a dangerous beast like it was in the early days. Many people treat it like traditional sports such as football and basketball. With the special clauses that the alliance is constantly improving, age is finally no longer a restriction to becoming a professional player. However, it was still shocking that Lu Hanwen became a professional player at the age of 14.

At the press conference, everyone finally saw the youngest player in Glory history. He had a childish figure, face, and voice, but he wasn't nervous at all when facing the media. He said whatever he wanted and did whatever he was asked. Just this demeanor alone was enough to leave Zhou Zekai, the current number one player in the league, eight streets behind. The experienced media could see that Lu Hanwen hadn't received any special training. It was just his personality. The media liked such proactive people, but after all, a professional player still had to rely on strength to speak.

Unfortunately, it was still a long time before the next league season started. Even if it did start, it was hard to say when such a young player would be able to play. There were also substitute players who sat on the bench for a season, and many of them were newcomers who had just been promoted. Didn't Tiny Herb Team have a player last season whose name was something or other, who didn't play in a single game?

Poor Qiao Yifan was now being compared to Blue Rain's new player by many people, but his name wasn't remembered by many people. They just vaguely thought of that something something. In the eyes of too many people, the only newcomer on Tiny Herb Team was Gao Yingjie. What about this newcomer on Blue Rain Team? He was unknown before, and although Blue Rain had announced his joining in a high-profile manner, they hadn't announced any specific information about him to the public. The media wasn't even sure what class this kid was.

Could this be a new Glory genius?

People had one more expectation for the new season.
