Wuji Team.

They joined the Glory Professional Alliance in Season 5, becoming a professional team. They struggled for three years before being eliminated. Their best result was 15th place, which wasn't anything special.

But in the Challenger League, that was enough to dominate. The Challenger League championships were monopolized by teams like this.

They didn't have any gods on their team, but anyone who had spent three years in the pro scene was at least a qualified professional player. Their characters didn't have many silver equipment pieces, but they had some. This was much better than Team Happy's pitiful two silver weapons. And besides the silver equipment, they were all decked out in orange equipment. Team Happy couldn't compare, as their characters were still mostly wearing purple equipment. Purple equipment was hard to get on stage in the pro scene.

This kind of team was only facing one more Jia Shi this year. Otherwise, they would have been the final Boss. Being drawn in the second round wasn't good luck. Perhaps, like Ye Xiu, they could bring up Jia Shi for comparison.

But comparing them wouldn't reduce Wuji Team's strength. This hurdle would still be difficult.

"At least let's get some equipment first, right? No silver equipment, but we can at least get some orange equipment," Chen Guo said. As for the method, she had already thought of it. The only way to get equipment quickly was to throw money at it!

Silver equipment couldn't be bought even if you threw money at it, but orange equipment was different. It was something that circulated among ordinary players. If you threw enough money at it, you could solve the problem.

"Yeah." Ye Xiu seemed to agree with Chen Guo. He nodded and said, "Does everyone have friends or relatives or anything? Let's borrow some orange equipment!"

"Huh?" Chen Guo was stunned. She never thought that they would borrow equipment. Borrowing equipment for a match? How could that not seem unreliable and improper?

"Do you have any friends you can borrow from?" Ye Xiu asked Chen Guo.

"I... don't..." Chen Guo stammered, but after thinking about it, she really didn't. It wasn't that she didn't have friends, but none of her acquaintances had orange equipment. This level of equipment was only used to fill numbers in the eyes of professional teams, but it was so scarce to the general public. There was nothing to be done; different realms, different perspectives.

"See if Zhan Lou Lan has any!" Ye Xiu actually started doing it. He called Zhan Lou Lan on QQ: "Little Lou comrade, do you have any equipment we can borrow?"

Zhan Lou Lan was now a formal professional player, so his name was public. His surname was Lou, his given name was Guanning. He was the boss and captain of Team Infinity. After two rounds of the new season, Infinity had heard some jeers. People thought that Infinity was just a rich man's plaything. Ordinary players played Glory in the game. But these rich people were different. They simply threw money at a team and sent themselves to the pro scene to play.

But wasn't this a way to humiliate themselves? Did they really think that money was omnipotent?

Many players mocked them. Because after two rounds, Team Infinity's results were terrible. They only had one point, ranking last among the 20 teams.

Lou Guanning was also troubled! After Ye Xiu's lesson, they had straightened their mentality. Their goal wasn't as naive as it used to be. But the gap was too big. Not to mention aiming for a ranking, it was so difficult to even get a point. But everyone was helpless, without a solution.

The Infinity five were gathered together, claiming it was their Monday meeting to discuss how to digest their two weeks of misery. But after the opening remarks, the five fell silent. Lou Guanning didn't have anything to say. Bored, he logged onto QQ. As soon as he logged in, he saw a message from the god.

"Borrow equipment? What equipment?" Lou Guanning replied listlessly.

"The best equipment! The opponent we're facing in the next round is a bit tricky," Ye Xiu replied.

"Every opponent we face is particularly tricky right now." Distracted, Lou Guanning didn't think much of Ye Xiu's words. He chatted with Ye Xiu to pass the time.

"I watched your matches. Everything is difficult at the beginning!" Ye Xiu said.

"We were prepared, but we didn't expect it to be this difficult," Lou Guanning replied.

"Your first two rounds of opponents were strong. That's a fact," Ye Xiu said.

Infinity's first-round opponent was Samsara. The league intentionally arranged this as a warning. As expected, they didn't disappoint and wiped them out. In the second round, they met Team Misty Rain.

Although Team Misty Rain had never been considered a top team, they eliminated Tyranny last season and entered the final four. Wasn't it easy for them to take care of a new team that had just joined the league?

But Infinity won the opening round. They won the first point in the individual competition, giving them confidence and boosting morale. But they were quickly beaten back to their original form from the first round. They didn't get a single point in the next nine points.

The one point they won in the individual competition was long forgotten in their bad mood. But Ye Xiu insisted on mentioning the match, "And didn't you win one match? That means you're not lacking in skill, just not used to it yet. The feeling of the professional league is different from sparring with people in the arena, right?"

"It is different," Lou Guanning admitted.

"Some tension is inevitable. You'll get used to it. Everyone goes through this stage," Ye Xiu said.

"Were you nervous when you first played professionally, God?" Lou Guanning asked.

"Of course," Ye Xiu said.

"But your results were still good," Lou Guanning knew Ye Xiu's resume.

"Well... because everyone was new at the time, I guessed my opponents might be even more nervous than me," Ye Xiu said.

"Haha..." Lou Guanning didn't reply with a message, but laughed out loud. The other four, who were like gourds, looked over in surprise, their eyes full of blame, as if to say, how could you laugh at a time like this? You're not focused!

"It's God!" Lou Guanning turned the computer screen to show them their chat.

The four knew who Lou Guanning meant by "God." Although countless people in the pro scene were called Gods, when they simply said "God" in Infinity, it was undoubtedly referring to Ye Qiu.

In the chat, Ye Xiu didn't say anything comforting or encouraging, but clearly pointed out their current problems. Although he didn't tell them any effective solutions, he at least let them know that this was something that every professional player had to go through as they grew. They were just like everyone else, nothing special. Just not being special didn't need them to be so downcast.

The four felt surprisingly better. Lou Guanning finally realized that Ye Xiu hadn't come to him about this in the first place. He quickly brought the topic back, "God, what equipment did you say you wanted to borrow?"

"Powerful equipment. As powerful as possible!" Ye Xiu said.

"Could it be that you want to borrow the silver equipment we're using now?" Lou Guanning said.

"If you can, I wouldn't mind at all!" Ye Xiu said.

Lou Guanning almost fell off his chair. He paused for a moment and replied, "Are the rules okay with that?"

"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a corresponding clause," Ye Xiu said.

"Character transactions are prohibited during the non-transfer period, but equipment can be replaced," Lou Guanning had clearly studied the league's rules.

"Speaking of which, where did you get your silver equipment?" Ye Xiu gossiped.

"Bought it!"

"You're hiding it well," Ye Xiu said.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Hurry up and let me use it." Ye Xiu didn't hold back. In the beginning, he didn't really think about borrowing their silver equipment. He just wanted to borrow some orange equipment from Infinity's online game, use it for this round, and then return it. But Lou Guanning brought up the topic himself, and Ye Xiu thought it was a great idea, so he accepted it happily.

Chen Guo was watching all this in a daze. Borrowing equipment was one thing! Now he was even borrowing silver equipment. He really wasn't holding back! She just didn't know if Infinity would lend it to them.

Chen Guo was a little excited. She waited with Ye Xiu for a reply, excitedly saying, "In that case, can you borrow some more from other professional teams? You know them all too!"

"I know them all, but they're not the bosses," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo understood. Lou Guanning was both the boss and a player, so he could make such a decision. Obviously, the players in other teams didn't have such authority. It would be difficult to ask them for such a request.

Wasn't it the same on Infinity's side? Lou Guanning told the other four what Ye Xiu had said, and they were all confused. They weren't prepared for such a request! Given their relationship and the lack of conflict, borrowing it shouldn't be a problem. But... why did it feel a little strange?

Borrowing equipment for a match... was this another record in the scene?

"What classes do you all have?" Lou Guanning finally started to take action.

"It doesn't matter. Just bring them all! If no one's wearing them, Lord Grim can wear them," Ye Xiu replied.

Lou Guanning burst into tears. The unspecialized class was so powerful!
