Full-time Master: Detaining Generals

Chapter 103 Obsession with the Champion
Wave after wave of applause rang out, almost toppling the entire venue.

The applause was for Xingxin, and even more so for the players on both sides who prepared hard and worked hard for this match.

And the powerful sound insulation effect made everyone in Thunderbolt in the operating room almost unaware of the reaction from the outside world. They could only see the audience clapping hard in the auditorium through the transparent glass window in front of them.

Xiao Shiqin raised his left hand, took off his glasses, and put them on his lap.He rubbed his right hand between his eyebrows, his complexion was a little...pale.

…………

"Hello, is this Xiao Shiqin, Captain Xiao?" A slightly awkward voice came from Xiao Shiqin's cell phone, as if deliberately pretending to be gentle and kind.

"Yes, I am, who are you?"

Professional e-sports players are also public figures, and the phone numbers and contact information of public figures are naturally private and unknown to the outside world.Eighty percent of those who can have their own phone, who I don't know, and who call him Captain Xiao are insiders.

"Captain Xiao, let me introduce myself. I am the general manager of Club Excellent Era, and my name is Tao Xuan."

"Manager Tao, what's the matter with you? I'm quite busy right now." Xiao Shiqin's tone was gentle, and he handled basic etiquette well.

Tao Xuan on the other end of the phone coughed a little, and then said:

"I want to invite you to join our Excellent Era Club." Tao Xuan is a smart person, he knows what people like Ye Xiu and Xiao Shiqin need, and he didn't beat around the bush, straight to the point, and clarified his reason for coming.

Hearing Tao Xuan's words, Xiao Shiqin was a little unconcerned at first, and chuckled lightly.

"Boss Tao, you are a high-level executive of the Glory Club. You don't know what people like us want. My current achievements are all given to me by Thunder..."

Before Xiao Shiqin finished speaking, Tao Xuan's voice interrupted him.

"I know, everyone wants to be a champion."

One sentence left Xiao Shiqin speechless. The answer he originally wanted to say was "glory".But as soon as the word "champion" came out, no matter how firm Xiao Shiqin's heart was and how calm his emotions were, he was in a mess.

That's right, as a professional player, all you want is "victory", but what is the highest victory in the league?That is the champion of the Glory Professional League!
No one doesn't want to be a champion, even Ye Xiu, who left Excellent Era with a last-ditch fight, only wants to win the championship once with the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella, to win the glory he missed for Su Muqiu who has already transformed into an immortal.

The corners of Tao Xuan's mouth turned up, his legs rested on the table, staggering.

"Captain Xiao, it is true that Leiting has given you your current achievements. As human beings, the most taboo thing is to forget your origins. I agree with this very much. But... can Leiting bring you more achievements? ? As the captain of the Thunder, you know the current situation of the Thunder best. I don’t need to say more about the specific situation, right?”

Xiao Shiqin still didn't speak, Tao Xuan knew that Xiao Shiqin's heart was disturbed, but the degree of disorder was not very shallow.Tao Xuan took a sip of his drink without rushing.

"You and Ye Qiu are both smart people, oh no...you should call him Ye Xiu now. I really like a sentence Ye Xiu often said to me before. He said, 'Glory is never a game for one person'. You A strong person cannot win the championship, and the performance of the Thunder is the best proof."

"Boss Tao, I hope you pay attention to your words."

Although Xiao Shiqin was dissatisfied, after hearing the words "Glory is never a game for one person", Xiao Shiqin's face suddenly changed. This sentence was very incisive. As a master tactician, he deeply understood this sentence meaning of words.

"Come to Excellent Era, you should understand Excellent Era's resources, and One Autumn Leaf is your arm, your tactics will definitely gain more room for actual combat, your future should not stay in Thunderclap. I believe that your ambition, It’s just trying to avoid the depreciating target of the title of ‘Big Belly Team’. What you have done for the Thunder these years is completely enough to repay the Thunder for their kindness.”

It has to be said that Tao Xuan's words were very contagious, and each and every word hit Xiao Shiqin's heart hard.

"The next match, Thunder vs. Xingxin? I'm looking forward to it!" Tao Xuan's tone was no longer gentle, but rather mocking.

Xiao Shiqin still didn't speak, but he had already planned many plans and the path he could choose in his mind.

"The winter transfer window is still early, and the team with the fastest progress has only played 3 games. There is plenty of time. I hope Captain Xiao can think about it carefully. Excellent Era's resources are enough to equip two god-level accounts."

Soon, Xiao Shiqin dealt with Tao Xuan twice symbolically, but his dry lips and the movement of swallowing his saliva from time to time revealed Xiao Shiqin's confused state of mind.

Excellent Era had to consider what kind of talents Su Mucheng could bring in after he left Excellent Era.It's not that Tao Xuan doesn't understand Glory, the owner of the current club must have dabbled in the game of Glory, but he doesn't know much.

Of course Tao Xuan knew about Excellent Era's current situation, and he also knew that with Sun Xiang's temperament, being the captain could only support the situation. Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf were at most strong limbs.But what Excellent Era really lacked was a useful brain, which could play the role of command and team connection.

Although Tao Xuan said everything on the phone was reasonable, he felt confident.But after hanging up the phone, he still took a few deep breaths.

Without Xingxin, City H's resources will no longer be under the pressure of being taken away. Excellent Era's development can be said to have a bright future. Tao Xuan thought it was all right.

………………

In the control room, Xiao Shiqin thought a lot, with a grim face.

"Captain! What's wrong with you?"

Dai Yanqi stepped forward and moved closer to Xiao Shiqin, with a worried expression on her face.Xiao Shiqin waved his hand, put on his glasses again, and found Dai Yanqi in front of him.

Xiao Shiqin's eye sockets were red, and his eyeballs were somewhat moist.

Seeing this scene, Dai Yanqi couldn't help it all at once. After all, Dai Yanqi was a little girl, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, when she wanted to shed tears, she absolutely couldn't help it.

"Woooo...team...captain, I'm sorry, it's me, I'm too weak, if...if I can be stronger, you won't be so tired!"

The other team members who saw this scene also lowered their heads.

Xiao Shiqin was on the table beside him, took out a tissue, and wiped the tears from Dai Yanqi's face with the tissue.

The audience who saw this scene felt a little puzzled. It was just a regular season. Even if it was 10:0, the Thunder had never been blocked. What happened to the Thunder today?

etc!The audience suddenly realized that Xiao Shiqin was also crying!

"Yan Qi, this is not your problem. If you win, the glory belongs to everyone. If you lose, everyone will bear it together. Don't cry, let's go out, don't let others see the joke."

Dai Yanqi hurriedly adjusted, and followed the crowd out of the control room with red eyes.

The members of Team Xingxin had been waiting on the stage for a long time, without any joy, just blank expressions.

"Congratulations..." Xiao Shiqin said with nasal cavity.

Gu Ziyou smiled back, and shook hands with Xiao Shiqin.

"This is not the complete you." Gu Ziyou's words were ambiguous, perhaps only Xiao Shiqin could understand.

"Oh, maybe." Xiao Shiqin replied.

Up to this point, Gu Ziyou didn't continue to explain anything.After shaking hands with the rest of the Thunder, the two opened the arena.

After a brief interview with reporters, everyone answered seriously.

After the interview, Xiao Shiqin found Gu Ziyou.

"Captain Gu, do you have time for a chat?" Xiao Shiqin had already returned to normal at this moment, and besides Xiao Shiqin, there was no one else in Lei Ting.

Gu Ziyou turned his head and looked at Happy's people. Qiao Yifan's EQ was not low, and he said, "Brother Gu, there are a lot of delicious food in W City, let's try the poison for you first, and contact us on WeChat later!"

Gu Ziyou smiled and nodded.

"Be careful not to spoil your stomach."

"okay!"

Everyone in Xingxin bid farewell and left.

Xiao Shiqin looked at the backs of Xingxin's players leaving, feeling a little envious, but only a little bit.

"Let's go, where to chat, Thunder Club?" Gu Ziyou asked.

Xiao Shiqin shook his head, and brought Gu Ziyou to a clean coffee shop with plain decoration.After asking the waiter for a glass of boiled water, Gu Ziyou looked at Xiao Shiqin.

This was the first time the two met, but the scene did not appear awkward.

"What does Captain Xiao want to talk about?" Gu Ziyou always smiled, making people feel like a spring breeze, regardless of men, women or children.

"Parents have short stories, poems and distant places, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and vicissitudes of life." Xiao Shiqin said, hearing Xiao Shiqin's words, Gu Ziyou almost spit out the water he just drank.

"Ahem..." Gu Ziyou coughed, Xiao Shiqin smiled and handed Gu Ziyou a tissue, and Gu Ziyou thanked him.

"Just kidding, I just want to find someone to chat with." Xiao Shiqin also smiled, and he looked much more relaxed.

"Friends? I remember correctly, this is the first official meeting between the two of us, right? How can a friend tell you?"

"A bosom friend doesn't look at friendship, but a feeling. Some friends have been dating for a lifetime, but they can't be considered a bosom friend. But some people, who have never met, can tell at a glance that he is my bosom friend, for example... you."

Gu Ziyou waved his hand.

"That's enough, that's all. They are all working hard in the circle, and they are all friends. If you have anything you want to say, you can confide in me and treat me like a tree hole."

Xiao Shiqin smiled and looked out the window.

"Xingxin really blew me away today." Xiao Shiqin said suddenly.

"Not at all!" Gu Ziyou habitually cheered.

"It also woke me up." Xiao Shiqin said seemingly unintentionally. "It's been five years, and I've been working hard in the professional circle for five years. In these five years, I really can't see the light. I feel like I'm trapped in a quagmire, and then slowly dragged to the ground. No matter how hard I try to break free, I There is no hope."

"I'm 23 this year, and many players my age have retired long ago."

Gu Ziyou: "Hey~ There is still a 30-year-old in our team. He's only 23, not too old."

Xiao Shiqin looked helplessly at Gu Ziyou.

"I'm not blaming my teammates, it's just... If I'm surrounded by you and Qiao Yifan, I can fight until I'm 30. But... Hey! Forget it, don't say it, don't say it, listen to it It's like complaining about your teammates. If it spreads out, I, Xiao Shiqin, will become a street rat, haha."

Gu Ziyou was speechless and could only drink water.

"Four Great Tacticians? The more I hear people mention this title, the more I feel a little overwhelmed. Zhang Xinjie, Yu Wenzhou, and Ye Xiu, which one of them has never won a championship? How can I wear a crown?"

Hearing this, Gu Ziyou frowned slightly, and his tone changed from the gentle one before.

"If Captain Xiao is here to spread negative emotions with me, then please forgive me and leave first."

"Sorry." Xiao Shiqin was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know why he was like this.Bite the bullet and said, "I really want to know, what would you do if you were me?"

"First of all, there is no such if. A person's own life is determined by himself. This is your choice. My answer can only be a suggestion." Gu Ziyou paused and continued:

"I often say a word to my friends, which is also my idea of ​​doing things. Doing anything, liking is the most important thing. You must know what you want. If you want it, don't suppress your desires, look for your goals, and don't care about others. eyes."

Hearing this, Xiao Shiqin was startled for a while, then smiled wryly.

"Thanks, I'll think about it myself.

The two chatted for a long time, although at the beginning of the chat, Xiao Shiqin felt that Xiao Shiqin was a little different from the polite and sophisticated image in the original book.But after chatting for a period of time, I think this person is still good.

The main reason for spreading negative emotions was that Xiao Shiqin was under too much pressure and always had to find a place to release it. Although Gu Ziyou didn't like to accept other people's negative emotions, he still listened carefully to Xiao Shiqin's occasional complaints, and then Ashamed to apologize.

In e-sports, strength speaks for itself, and the goal of all professional players is the same, which is the championship trophy of the professional league.There is no sophistication in the arena, only tactical strategy, which is why e-sports is so fascinating.

Regardless of whether it's past life or present life, Gu Ziyou is one of the thousands of people who have been struggling in the e-sports professional circle.In his previous life, he didn't have any reputation, but now he has reached the top of the pyramid in the professional league.

And after today's heart-to-heart talk, Gu Ziyou also vaguely guessed that Xiao Shiqin might still transfer. From Xiao Shiqin's point of view, if there is no accident, the target is the team that needs him most now, and also the team he needs most— — Excellent Era.

Does this count as an enemy?
Gu Ziyou said that it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

I have Getaway and Linlang!Still can't stand and make money?

And the stronger the enemy, the more interesting the game will be. If there is no suspense in the game, then there is no need for the professional league to exist.
