Chapter 1289 Training to This Extent

With the main business concluded, the meeting began to resemble a tea party, becoming increasingly relaxed and casual. Chairman Feng Xianjun, relieved of his worries, couldn't help but offer encouragement to the various teams. Of course, whether it was the current top team, Tyranny, or the tenth-ranked Thunder, as the league chairman, he had to treat them equally. Showing even a slight inclination could be seized upon by those with ulterior motives.

Afterward, the managers and captains of the various teams looked back and realized that this meeting had been resolved by Yu Wenzhou's few words and a single idea. They had traveled all this way for a meeting where such an idea could have easily been brainstormed in a QQ discussion group. It seemed the Chairman was quite anxious about the matter.

However, what neither the league nor the major teams anticipated was that after the media reported on the surge in errors in February, the reaction of the players wasn't dissatisfaction, but a surge in the online rate of the Glory God Domain players. Why was this the case? A glance at the God Domain in the game revealed the answer. The world channel was filled with requests for information on where there were Boss battles, so they could catch a glimpse of the professional players up close. In particular, some of the more popular gods were being directly named by players asking each other where they could be seen.

For a time, the players' enthusiasm overshadowed their dissatisfaction with the quality of the matches, but the league couldn't afford to be negligent! Feng Xianjun even worried that the major clubs, seeing such a reaction from the players, would take things even less seriously, so he specifically called each one to remind them to pay attention to protecting their players' condition.

Each club dispatched specialists to deal with the enthusiasm of the players and fans. And Yu Wenzhou's suggestion was being put into practice.

So, in the new week, at a certain Level 75 wild Boss spawn point, the various factions gathered again. When Ye Xiu began searching for the professional player accounts within each guild, he was surprised to find that a team of players had proactively appeared before their Happy group.

This team's roster was a motley crew, drawn from nine guilds, but at this moment, they stood together with unwavering resolve.

Ye Xiu didn't initially realize what was happening, but these nine players had already taken the initiative to attack.

In the initial exchange, Happy was caught off guard and was quite disheveled. But after they reacted, Ye Xiu could only describe his feelings as overjoyed.

These professional brothers were too reliable! Knowing that they wanted to find them for training, they had specially sent out teams to PK with them wholeheartedly. They were considerate to the point of being meticulous!

The Happy players, after understanding the situation, were so moved that they were reluctant to attack these nine.

However, these nine were not at all polite in their attacks, seeming eager to send the Happy players back to the main city. However, while these two teams appeared to be competing individually, they were actually backed by their respective guild forces. With so many healers constantly looking after them, it was really difficult to die.

So in the end, the two sides could only entangle each other and wear down time until the Boss was killed. This outcome was to everyone's satisfaction. The major professional teams felt that Happy was finally not so annoying, and Happy, on their side, finally didn't have to try every possible means to approach and harass those professional players who were trying every possible means to avoid them. Now, they were lined up neatly in front of them, accompanying them in battle.

"This is great!" Ye Xiu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. The professional teams handled things appropriately, battling Happy while they battled Happy, and snatching Bosses while they snatched Bosses, focusing on one thing at a time and saving a lot of energy. And for Ye Xiu and his team, they could wholeheartedly engage in combat with the professional players, without having to think about the many miscellaneous tasks they had to do before. The training effect was naturally greatly improved.

Thus, while Happy originally trained every other day, seeing such a good thing, they were reluctant to miss it. They treated it as a little extra training, even if it was tiring! It should be known that such a training method was impossible even for professional teams. Their training matches were at most internal scrimmages of five-on-five, practicing some fixed routines and tactics. The opponents changed, but they never escaped the familiar faces within the team. But Happy now, because the professional players who came to snatch Bosses every day were rotating, so the people who were drawn out to deal with Happy were also rotating. In this way, it was equivalent to all the professional players taking turns to fight with them.

This was not only an improvement in technique and accumulation of experience, but also a direct understanding of future competitors! It should be known that in professional matches, two players who were not on the same team would only face each other twice a year if they didn't meet in the playoffs. This face-to-face experience was actually not as much as people imagined.

The Happy players could finally wholeheartedly fight against the professional players, and the professional players could finally not have to multitask. Both sides were quite satisfied with the current situation. For several days, Happy seemed unable to break through the outer iron wall formed by the professional players, but they still persisted in trying. The various clubs were in a contradictory mood, hoping that Happy would give up in the face of difficulties, but also worried that after giving up, Ye Qiu would come up with some new monstrous idea. So, weighing the pros and cons, maintaining the status quo seemed quite unpleasant.

In the blink of an eye, March had also passed.

The league dared not wait until the end of the month to look at the data for the month's competition statistics. They tracked the data state of the matches almost the entire time.

There were still mistakes, slightly higher than the average, but finally, there was no longer the strange outbreak of February, and it returned to a level similar to that of previous updates. Feng Xianjun's heart finally settled down, and he couldn't help but call each team to encourage, support, and praise them, while also calling on other teams to learn from them.

Other teams seemed to be unaffected, but on the one hand, these teams were weaker, and there were already more mistakes in the matches, so the starting point was high. Furthermore, the more competitive they were, the less likely they were to be affected by this. But there was another more important reason. In these other teams, Yizhan, Yueyun, He Wu, and Zhaohua were all in the same gang as Happy in the game. Ye Xiu and his team now certainly wanted to improve everyone's level, but they couldn't even attack these few families, right? That would obviously break up the alliance between the families. And this was their guarantee for gains in Boss battles, so they couldn't break it up for the time being.

Therefore, these few families were not affected at all, which added another layer of insurance to the data of the "other teams." And in the process of snatching Bosses, the players of these teams could continue the alliance established by the guild, which allowed them to repeatedly win in Boss battles. They didn't have any opinions on the subsequent sharing model either, because in their opinion, Happy's valiant battles had held back many professional players, which was also one of the keys to their success. This was also the advantage of the players of small and medium-sized teams. As the weaker groups among professional players, they had no arrogance and dared not consider themselves extraordinary, so they were very able to recognize the value of others.

Their frequent bursts of power also highlighted the "tactical" nature of Happy's training. The major teams were not at all aware that they were being used as sparring partners by Happy. Because the allied forces were difficult to deal with, some professional players would directly come forward and occasionally form temporary alliances to fight against them. In the special context of updating and changing generations, these temporary alliances were not like the usual guilds that would turn their backs on each other at the first opportunity. After all, professional players were more concerned about their image. However, some players with wretched styles suffered at this time. Given their fighting styles, everyone felt that stabbing in the back was no obstacle for them, so it was very difficult for these players to form alliances with others.

In any case, another month of busy work passed.

The data of the competition technical statistics was no longer so strange this month, but the league standings had undergone earth-shattering changes after this month.

This change mainly came from the lower half of the standings, and the protagonists were precisely Yizhan, Yueyun, He Wu, and Zhaohua.

In fact, this change had already been revealed in February, but the disparity in strength between the teams in the league was also quite terrible. The upper half and lower half of the standings were like a chasm. So, when the points changed in February, the rankings didn't fluctuate much, and everyone just thought it was a random fluctuation and didn't take it seriously. Until March, when this random fluctuation continued, everyone finally discovered the rapid progress of these four teams, who broke out from the group of other weak teams that were entangled with them and began to climb towards the upper half of the standings.

As of March 30, after the five rounds of the March league, the Zhaohua team had climbed to tenth place, the Yueyun team had risen to eleventh place, and the third-ranked 301 team was only 3 points ahead of the Zhaohua team and only 5 points ahead of the Yueyun team. And the Hundred Flowers team, which was in the playoff zone and ranked eighth, had an advantage of only 5 points over the Zhaohua team. The Thunder team, which had surprised many people in tenth place, had now been kicked to twelfth place, and behind them were Yizhan and He Wu, who looked like they could tear him down further at any time.

Based on data and score analysis, the rise of these four teams was because they performed more stably in this environment than other teams, with smaller fluctuations in their state. Further understanding revealed the reason was even more direct: these four teams were in the same gang as Happy in the game.

Happy, it was Happy again, it was Ye Qiu again.

Feng Xianjun was speechless. A team in the Challenger League had influenced the situation of the professional league through competition in the game. If this continued, perhaps one of these four teams could even make it into the playoffs!

Of course, this was something that Feng Xianjun was not convenient to express his position on. Even if he hoped in his heart that the final playoffs could gather as many stars as possible, since it was a competition, the first thing to ensure was fairness. He could only expect this in his heart, and he couldn't use any means to deliberately manipulate it.

"This Ye Qiu is really good at causing trouble, I wonder what he will cause in the Challenger League..."

For the Challenger League, the league chairman generally only paid some attention in form, but now, he was interested from the bottom of his heart.
