Chapter 769: Inventory
Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi
Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Chen Guo, and Tang Rou experienced what it was like to live here. The three girls took the two empty rooms. Ye Xiu went to Wei Chenās room. Just as Wei Chen said, the room was filled with smoke. It wasnāt anything Ye Xiu had any problems with though.
"Everyoneās gathered together now." Wei Chen sighed as he handed Ye Xiu a cigarette.
"Not bad, right?" Ye Xiu smiled.
"If our opponent wasnāt Excellent Era, it would have been great." Wei Chen couldnāt get rid himself of this worry because he was more worried than anyone else about this opportunity. Sometimes he even felt upset at himself. If he knew he could have done this earlier, why did he waste so many years of his life? Why didnāt he just try to return to the scene sooner?
"How about you try your hand at Tyranny and see if theyāll accept you. You can be together with them in an old people team." Ye Xiu lit his cigarette.
"Ah, itās fine! Iām old already. I canāt struggle like I did before!" Wei Chen sighed.
"Youāre worried that they donāt want you, no?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"Tch." Wei Chen objected, "What about you? You didnāt need to do this yourself. Youāve managed to keep your ability to play in good condition for all these years. Returning to the scene at the end of the year wouldnāt be difficult at all."
"If I donāt busy myself with this kind of goal, how would I be able to maintain my good condition?" Ye Xiu said.
"Youāve already gotten this far. Why are you thinking about all this? Stay on this path!" Wei Chen said.
"Arenāt you the one thatās thinking too much?"
"I canāt help myself." Wei Chen sighed. It wasnāt something that he could stop himself from doing.
"Who canāt?" Ye Xiu held his cigarette in his mouth as he looked out the window.
"If we fail to get through the Challenger League, what will you do?" Wei Chen suddenly asked.
"Iāll see when that time comes!" Ye Xiu said.
"You havenāt thought about it yet?"
"Not at all." Ye Xiu said.
"Thatās good!" Wei Chen let out a sigh. It seems like he had been troubled by this question.
"What do you have to be worried about? Even if you fail, youāve got 18 million yuan. Isnāt that good enough?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"Happiness canāt be bought!" Wei Chen refuted.
"How about you spend your money to hire a few hitmen and get rid of those guys at Excellent Era? Wouldnāt we certainly succeed then?" Ye Xiu said.
"Mm, I actually know a few people."
"D*mn!" Ye Xiu didnāt think that Wei Chen was actually serious.
"Iām just kidding." Wei Chen said.
"Excellent Era is going to be a very troublesome opponent." Ye Xiu said, "But there will always be opportunities in the future."
"You donāt need to preach to me." Wei Chen said.
"Youāre such a good-for-nothing. You clearly understand the logic, yet you still get anxious and depressed from time to time. Did those glasses of beer bring up unnecessary worry?" Ye Xiu said.
"What do you think of everyone currently here?" Wei Chen didnāt want to talk about his feelings with Ye Xiu anymore and changed topics.
"Youāve seen them too. What are your thoughts?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I think Tang Rou and Steamed Bun definitely have a good future ahead of them. You managed to pick up two treasures! Iām certain that after they shine in the Challenger League, there will definitely be pro teams who think highly of them." Wei Chen said.
"As if you need to tell me that." Ye Xiu smiled, "Wang Jiexi once invited Little Tang to join his team."
"Even something like that happened?" Wei Chen was astonished.
"Of course." Ye Xiu gave him a summary of the event.
"She refused? Why?" Wei Chen was a bit at a loss.
"That is her biggest problem. Her love and passion for Glory isnāt the same as ours. She only started playing because she lost to me in the Arena multiple times. She never had the ambition of becoming a pro player, so she didnāt think much of Wang Jiexiās invitation." Ye Xiu said.
"What about now?" Wei Chen asked.
"Now? Sheās been playing for so long already. It seems like sheās at least somewhat interested in playing Glory. The pro scene just so happens to have numerous experts to challenge. I think thatās most likely her motivation to continue playing." Ye Xiu said.
"Haha, thatās a good reason! Her personality is really fitting for a competitor! I think sheāll go very far." Wei Chen said.
"That might not be true." Ye Xiu said.
"Why?"
"Sheās not that young. Her background is also a bit strange too. Look at how she carries herself. When I first came here, she was doing unskilled labor at Happy Internet Cafe. Would you believe that?" Ye Xiu said.
"F*ck, no way?" Wei Chen was astonished.
"I seriously think that she ran away from home, just like me." Ye Xiu said.
"You ran away from home?" Wei Chen continued to be astonished.
"F*ck, a slip of the tongue. I forgot that you didnāt know about that." Ye Xiu said.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me." Wei Chen hastily said.
"It was many years ago. Thereās nothing to say." Ye Xiu looked down on Wei Chen.
Wei Chen wasnāt much of a gossiper. Seeing that Ye Xiu didnāt want to talk about it, he didnāt keep pestering. He continued to examine the strengths of Team Happyās current members: "In any case, Tang Rou will probably be the most outstanding amongst them. Steamed Bun is quite good too, but heās not very consistent. A few mistakes here and there are always fine, but it would be very troublesome during a crucial moment."
"Correct. Thatās Steamed Bunās main problem." Ye Xiu said.
"For this type of player, if it were an important match, I think most teams would place him as their sixth player." Wei Chen said.
"We donāt have that luxury right now though." Ye Xiu said.
"Youāre right." Wei Chen sighed, "The others are quite a ways away from those two."
"Mo Fan isnāt too bad." Ye Xiu pointed him out.
"F*ck, that dead person. If you didnāt say anything, I wouldnāt even have mentioned him. You saying his name makes me want to go over there and punch him." Wei Chen said.
"I still donāt know what to do about him! I have no idea why he even plays Glory. Iām hoping that heāll have a change in mind once he starts playing with us." Ye Xiu said.
"Seeing how he seems to insist on rejecting everything that we do, I donāt see much hope." Wei Chen said.
"Heāll reject anything new to him, but heās familiar with Glory. This will help him gain a better understanding of Glory. Letās see how things go before coming to any conclusions!" Ye Xiu said.
"Then thereās An Wenyi and Luo Ji." Wei Chen started talking about these two fresh arrivals: "I saw Luo Jiās situation this afternoon. Iām afraid thereās not much hope of him getting on stage in the short term. The future will depend on how much he improves. How is he compared to when you first met him?"
"Heās definitely improved a lot, but he canāt compare to Tang Rou or Steamed Bun. I havenāt guided him that much though. Weāll see how things go after a month of intense practice!" Ye Xiu said.
"What about An Wenyi? You guys usually bring him along, but I havenāt actually seen his skill in-game." Wei Chen said.
"He still needs practice. His awareness and decision-making is quite remarkable. If itās a 1v1 and he had to heal, his pacing and control is definitely at a pro level, but if you give him multiple targets, such as one healer for a team, he starts to mess up." Ye Xiu said.
"Hm. Then, weāll have to see after this month!" Wei Chen said.
"Thereās nothing to see. Thatās everyone we can use." Ye Xiu said.
"Little Qiao is quite good. I heard that you wanted him to switch to a Phantom Demon?" Wei Chen said.
"I feel like his strengths would fit a Phantom Demon more." Ye Xiu said.
"His foundation is quite stable. Right now, heās at the stage where heās getting used to his class. I think highly of him, but honestly speaking, he isnāt any extraordinary talent. I hope heāll work hard to make up for that!"
"Being able to pick up two talents is lucky enough." Ye Xiu said.
Thatās true. That is very lucky."
"Theyāll have to practice hard! Itās entirely on them." Wei Chen puffed out one final cloud of smoke and then extinguished the flame. "Letās sleep!"
"Okay." Ye Xiu replied and also laid down.
After a moment of silence, Wei Chen suddenly said: "Our boss isnāt considered an official player, right?"
"Of course not." Ye Xiu said.
"Okay." Wei Chen replied. He didnāt say anything after that.
They had been pulling all nighters for the past month, so sleeping at this time wasnāt easy. Wei Chen borrowed the effects of alcohol to sleep soundly. Ye Xiu laid on his bed, not sleepy at all. He stared at the pitch black darkness outside. Who knew how long it would take for him to sleep.
Wei Chen slept early and woke up early. When he woke up, he immediately woke up Ye Xiu too.
"Hurry! Get up! While thereās still nothing to do, we should figure out everyoneās practice plan. We canāt be lazy." Wei Chen shouted.
"Lazy? Iāve already given each of them a practice plan to follow." Ye Xiu said.
"How can throwing them some plans to follow be considered anything? You have to be more rigorous. Time, content, levels. Everyoneās doing the same thing. Have the pace of their practice go up." Wei Chen yelled, "We need to make active preparations for the Challenger League, not just in equipment. Everyoneās individual strength is crucial too."
"Okay, thatās very reasonable. Iāll leave that to you then. Iāll keep on thinking about what to do with our equipment problem, so stop bothering me. I have an idea and I need some peace and quiet to think about it." Ye Xiu flipped over his body.
"D*mmit, get the f*ck up! We need to start regulating practices. Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan, you guys have experience with teams. Gather here! Meeting time!" Wei Chen roared.
Helpless, Ye Xiu was finally forced to get up. He didnāt know when he slept last night. He didnāt have any energy. But seeing how spirited Wei Chen was, he was also gratified, so he struggled to match up with him.
"Right now, we donāt have the software to utilize all those practice methods that the current pro teams use. But as pioneers from the early days, we shouldnāt be held up by this issue. The earliest teams didnāt have these resources either. They relied on things in the game. Werenāt they still able to practice?" Wei Chen said.
"As if you need to say that." Ye Xiu remarked.
"Good. What we need right now is for you guys to tell us the contents of the practice methods that you use in your Clubs and weāll find a substitute for it in the game." Wei Chen said.
"I know. Iāve been doing that the entire time." Ye Xiu said.
"Now we have this senior helping. Weāll organize everything by the end of today." Wei Chen said.
"Wait. What training methods do you know of that are used by Clubs?" Ye Xiu asked.
"None. So hurry up and tell me everything you know about the theory and methodology behind their practice routines!" Wei Chen looked like he was planning a robbery.
