Chapter 1141 Too Many Monks, Too Little Gruel

Glory equipment levels are in increments of 5, but player character levels are not, so the attribute of reducing equipment level requirements wouldn't necessarily be exactly 5. Based on the equipment that already possesses this attribute, 1 to 5 are all possibilities.

However, if Guan Rongfei wants to raise the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to level 80, then anything other than a reduction of 5 is meaningless, signifying failure.

"What exactly is wrong?" Guan Rongfei muttered to himself. He had gone through all the forms of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and each form possessed this attribute, but all of them reduced it by 4.

At this time, Chen Guo and the others had also gathered around, all asking what had happened.

Ye Xiu explained it in this way, and everyone, forgetting their disappointment at the failed experiment, were greatly astonished. In a game capped at level 75, to actually try and create level 80 equipment, what kind of imagination would that take?

"Look at my Death's Hand!" This was the first thing Wei Chen said after he finished marveling.

"No. Nothing but the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella will do." Guan Rongfei didn't even turn his head. Then, he completely ignored everyone's discussion, entering a state of focused research.

Ye Xiu and everyone else silently left the room together. Once everyone had finished exclaiming in amazement, they began to feel regret for the failure of this experiment.

"Is the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella broken?" Chen Guo asked.

"No," Ye Xiu said. This could be said to be the silver lining in a bad situation. Although the experiment failed, the original functions of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella were not damaged, but instead, it gained a useless attribute.

"It's too dangerous, why did you directly use the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella for the experiment? You should have used other equipment to study how to create the attribute of reducing level requirements by 5 first!" Chen Guo said.

"He already completed that step a long time ago. The current focus is to make all forms of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella possess this attribute, and in fact, he has already completed this, but there is a problem with the attribute data," Ye Xiu said.

"What about level 80, can he definitely do that?" Chen Guo said.

"That... It's not convenient to try before confirming that this attribute can be made. Otherwise, if it's raised to level 80, but the level requirement is only reduced by 4, how can I use it?" Ye Xiu said.

The experiment failed.

When they saw that the final data was a reduction of level requirements by 4, Ye Xiu and Guan Rongfei were also very saddened. However, the two quickly calmed down, after all, there were many positive aspects to the failure.

Everyone couldn't help with this research, so they quickly asked about the Qi Master's matter.

"Wu Xuefeng? I haven't contacted him since retirement, I don't know!" Ye Xiu completely dispelled Chen Guo's guess, he really wasn't looking to bring this old general out of retirement.

"Then who are you planning to have use Sea Conqueror after you get it?" Chen Guo asked.

"This requires careful selection, do you have any recommendations?" Ye Xiu asked.

Chen Guo coughed up blood: "Didn't you already have an idea?!"

"Did I say that?" Ye Xiu wondered.

"..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Ye Xiu said to Chen Guo.

"I..."

"Let's carefully analyze the current Qi Master players in the circle," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo understood, so this was really a transfer operation starting from scratch, from the character to the player.

"But we must first secure Sea Conqueror," Ye Xiu said.

"What if we get Sea Conqueror but can't find anyone to use it?" Chen Guo couldn't help but ask.

"Shouldn't be?" Ye Xiu said, "An All-Star level character should be very attractive to players. Looking at the current situation in the pro scene, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to get an excellent Qi Master player."

"What's the situation in the pro scene?" Chen Guo asked, puzzled.

"Many monks, little congee," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo paused, not asking endlessly. She was now consciously cultivating her own strength, she wanted to be a more capable boss.

A professional circle situation of many monks, little congee?

Chen Guo pondered on her own, and gradually, she understood what Ye Xiu meant.

Among the top eight teams in the last season, there were only two Qi Master players, and Guo Yang in Team Howling was not highly valued. Counting them all up, there was only Song Xiao from Team Blue Rain active in high-end competitions like the playoffs.

Fighting in the playoffs and competing for the championship is the pursuit of every professional player. But for Qi Master players, the current situation is not good. Including the All-Star level Zhao Yang, they are all in relatively weak teams that have no hope of reaching the playoffs, and strong teams happen to not have a position for Qi Masters.

Zhao Yang had fought for seven years in Team Wind Howl, which certainly included his persistence, but it cannot be ignored that he didn't have many good choices.

This is the current situation faced by all Qi Master players. Even if they are excellent, they are dragged down by the weakness of the team. They want to join strong teams, but lack space because strong teams do not have positions for Qi Masters.

Ordinary players may not look favorably on new teams like Team Happy that are new to the league and lack resources. However, Qi Master players themselves have no better choices, and Team Happy may actually be attractive to them.

Understanding this made Chen Guo feel that she had made great progress. At least she understood that transfer operations are not like buying vegetables in the market, there is a lot of knowledge involved.

Three days later, just when everyone was still concerned about Fang Rui's whereabouts, the news that Team Wind Howl's All-Star character Sea Conqueror was transferred to Team Happy for 5.5 million was announced, shocking the circle.

Everyone was not surprised that Team Happy could come up with such a sum of money. After all, the championship in the Challenger League could generate a lot of revenue. An All-Star character for 5.5 million felt quite cheap, but considering the marginal status of Qi Masters and the current situation of Team Wind Howl, it was not difficult to understand.

After Zhao Yang's retirement, the situation of Team Wind Howl was quickly exposed.

Fans will be proud and honored to have an All-Star player and an All-Star character in the team, but they will not think that sometimes, All-Star level players and characters can become a burden to the team.

Team Wind Howl is such a case. They are a small team, and whether it is bearing the contract of an All-Star player or creating an All-Star level character, it requires a considerable investment for them. And they have been desperately maintaining this investment since the third season of the league.

They were once proud to have such players and characters, but gradually they realized that in order to maintain this pride, the development of the team became more and more unbalanced. The strength of one person and one character cannot help them win more victories. When they want to strengthen other players and characters, they find that after Zhao Yang and Sea Conqueror, they no longer have more resources to invest in other aspects.

In short, Team Wind Howl is a small team, but they have the operating ideas of a wealthy team. They have insisted on this unsuitable operating method for seven years, they hesitated, wandered, until this summer, the new manager of Team Wind Howl took office and completely helped Team Wind Howl make up their mind. They are determined to get rid of this burden and honestly take the road that a small team should take.

Zhao Yang will be abandoned, so he simply chose to retire.

Sea Conqueror will be sold. In order to maintain the strength of this character, Team Wind Howl has paid too much, and now they are not prepared to continue doing so. And a Sea Conqueror that cannot maintain its strength has no meaning in staying on the team. It is better to convert it into more resources to strengthen the entire team.

Zhao Yang's retirement and the sale of Sea Conqueror are behind the change in Team Wind Howl's operating ideas. Ye Xiu did not fully see this, but at least he noticed the possible situation of Team Wind Howl from Zhao Yang's retirement. So he took action at this time and took Sea Conqueror over happily.

Of course, Team Wind Howl also wanted to sell Sea Conqueror at the highest possible price, but unfortunately no strong teams in the league were interested in Qi Masters, and other small and medium-sized teams were hesitant. Team Happy, which was firm and unwavering, suddenly stood out, and after a few rounds of bargaining, the deal was quickly reached.

Sea Conqueror, transferred to Team Happy!

Team Happy's move was directly an All-Star character, which was of course very exciting for fans. But soon, comments with the title "Team Happy, the Next Team Wind Howl" questioned Team Happy's operating methods.

Two All-Star players, and a large number of characters need to be upgraded. As a grassroots team, Team Happy already has a large burden. In this case, they actually introduced an All-Star character. Do they have the resources to maintain the strength of such a cutting-edge character? Will Team Happy, like Team Wind Howl, take the upper-level route despite being a grassroots team, resulting in their own poor management?

As a result, the day after Sea Conqueror joined Team Happy, Team Happy announced that Sea Conqueror's Silver weapon, Mirror Moon, had been upgraded to level 75.

The circle was shocked again!

This was something that Team Wind Howl had not completed for more than half a season, but Team Happy only used one day.

Those who would question Team Happy obviously had not conducted a thorough investigation. For example, the presidents of the major guild alliances would never make such childish comments. Because no one knows better than them that Team Happy's resources are definitely scarce overall, but they are quite rich in cutting-edge resources. They are the biggest winners in the battle for wild Bosses since the level 75 update.

Team Happy's situation is completely different from Team Wind Howl. Their current situation can even be said that taking the cutting-edge route is the most suitable. A character like Sea Conqueror allows them to avoid early investment, which is exactly what they lack. Then, directly upgrade to the cutting-edge, which is exactly where their resources are abundant.

However, upgrading a level 70 Silver weapon to 75 in one day seems to be more than just a matter of sufficient resources. It seems that there is a capable person in Team Happy who can make Silver equipment!

Is it Ye Xiu?

Just when everyone was guessing like this, there were reports that the technical department master of Team Excellent Era was poached by Team Happy after Team Excellent Era was disbanded.

So everything was clear.

Team Excellent Era's technical department is of course very professional in the Qi Master profession. This was originally their main profession. Sea Conqueror in Team Happy has all kinds of unique advantages. What is currently lacking seems to be just a superior operator. Suddenly, the entire Glory circle began to help Team Happy find Qi Master players.
