Chapter 184 Electronic Sports Weekly

Of course, Chen Guo didn't have any local Blue Rain team newspapers or magazines. So, she only picked up an *Electronic Sports Weekly*. As for City H, there were naturally media outlets that reported on electronic sports and even Glory, but Chen Guo was too lazy to buy them, and even lazier to read them if she did.

It was just like how the local media in Blue Rain would tout the Blue Rain team. Naturally, the media in City H sang all sorts of praises for Team Excellent Era.

This season, Excellent Era was eliminated. It hardly had any space in the electronic sports media, but the local media in City H would introduce Excellent Era's situation whenever there was esports content, describing Excellent Era as having a thoroughly determined spirit.

At first, Chen Guo thought that since Team Happy was also a team from City H, would it also be valued by the local media?

As a result, during the heated discussion phase, Chen Guo bought a City H Evening News. When she looked at it, Team Happy was introduced, but it was mentioned as a joke, as a disgrace...

In the eyes of the local media in City H, Team Excellent Era was the banner of Glory esports in City H. This internet cafe team that suddenly popped up, claiming to defeat Team Excellent Era, was treated by the media as if it were an internal traitor.

Chen Guo was so angry at this evening paper that she threw it directly into the trash can. From then on, she completely refused to read the evening paper, only reading the reports in the *Electronic Sports Weekly*, which took a neutral stance and had no emotional bias towards any team.

Chen Guo was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't find any content related to Team Happy in this issue's report. As for the excitement of the pro scene, after losing her supported team, Chen Guo didn't watch it with as much enthusiasm. Only when she occasionally fantasized about Team Happy killing its way back into the pro scene and becoming a member of the storm in these pages did she feel a little excited.

"What is it? They're only reporting on it in the next issue." Without any reports about herself, Chen Guo threw the newspaper on the table.

"Strictly speaking, it should be the issue after the next one. The Friday newspaper comes out before our match," Ye Xiu corrected Chen Guo, and reached out to take the weekly newspaper from the table.

"Damn, give me some." Wei Chen also wanted to take it, but his position was a bit further away. By the time his hand came over, the newspaper had been completely grabbed by Ye Xiu. He immediately criticized Ye Xiu for not having any tact.

Ye Xiu didn't even look at him, casually flipping a page and throwing it to Wei Chen. Wei Chen flipped it over and immediately threw it back. "Damn, I don't watch *Star Odyssey*!"

*Star Odyssey* was the most popular real-time strategy game at the time, and it also had a professional league. However, it wasn't as popular as Glory. But after all, it also had a considerable number of fans, so there was also *Star Odyssey* content in the *Electronic Competition Weekly*. The page of the newspaper that Ye Xiu threw to Wei Chen was the non-Glory section. *Star Odyssey* special editions, *King of Fighters*, and other esports projects were crowded on this page. Wei Chen got whatever he didn't want to see.

"Ah, *Star Odyssey*, I know how to play it. Let me see!" As a result, the page of newspaper that Wei Chen threw away like trash was happily picked up by Baozi. This guy had a wide range of games he was familiar with. Tang Rou was a game novice, but he was only a Glory novice. His talent, it could be said, was actually the experience he had accumulated from playing other games. *Star Odyssey* seemed to be one of Baozi's experiences.

"The situation this season seems a bit chaotic!" Ye Xiu glanced at the news headlines and then turned the newspaper to the Glory Alliance's season standings.

Only three rounds had passed, and the differences between the teams wouldn't be too big. However, since a Glory regular season match had 10 points to contend for, after three rounds, the dividing line between the leading group was relatively clear.

The strength of the major powerhouses was still strong. Samsara and Blue Rain continued their excellent performance from last season, while Tyranny's strength was powerful this league because of the gathering of the Four Heavenly Kings. After three rounds, they were leading the standings. In addition to this, Team Wind Howl was the most powerful compared to last season. Tang Hao's addition, as well as rookie Zhao Yuzhe's more mature and stable performance, plus veteran Fang Rui's consistent sneakiness, made Team Wind Howl this season seem full of momentum. They joined the other powerhouses in the first group for the first time in years.

After them, Team Tiny Herb, Team Misty Rain, and Team Void also had decent results, but they weren't as outstanding as the teams in front of them.

The other teams in the middle or hovering in the relegation zone were also in their respective positions. What was particularly troubling was Team Hundred Blossoms.

After three rounds, the Double Blossoms combination that Team Hundred Blossoms claimed to be reviving had arrived, but their performance really disgraced the name of the Double Blossoms that Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping had made back then.

Yu Feng controlled his new Berserker character, Flowing Blooms, but he hadn't entered the state yet.

After Zou Yuan's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was sold, he also got a new Launcher character: Blooming Gorgeous. As a team with the Launcher as its core profession, it was as easy for Team Hundred Blossoms to equip Blooming Gorgeous as it was for Team Blue Rain to equip Cloud Flow. Blooming Gorgeous' strength was not weak at all, but the operator, Zou Yuan, didn't seem to have come out of the slump of the previous season. This was quite disappointing for some Hundred Blossoms fans who supported him.

After three rounds, Team Hundred Blossoms ranked 17th, two steps away from the relegation zone. For a team that had entered the finals three times, it was really sad to see them decline like this. No one knew if Team Hundred Blossoms could stand up again.

"Alright, it's time to train." Ye Xiu finished reading the newspaper, and only commented on the standings like this. Then he threw the newspaper aside indifferently.

But Chen Guo was very clear that Ye Xiu wasn't not concerned. It was just that these analyses and introductions in the newspaper weren't very useful to him. After retiring and leaving Excellent Era last year, Ye Xiu watched almost every match of the professional league and organized it into documents. The same was true for the new season. Last Sunday at dawn, when Chen Guo came out to get water because she was thirsty, she saw Ye Xiu sitting in front of the computer, silently watching the third round of matches that had just ended on Saturday night.

Ye Xiu wasn't in the pro scene anymore, but Chen Guo believed that he still knew the pro scene like the back of his hand.

Team Happy still had to train every day, and the content of this week's training was relatively specialized. With an 8.5 to 1 lead, Team Happy didn't have the slightest slack. After having information about the direct confrontation with Team Wuji, Ye Xiu's training this week was more targeted. This week, when they welcomed Team Wuji at home, Ye Xiu wouldn't set his goal on winning two points.

With an 8.5 to 1 lead, it was difficult to completely eliminate that subconscious slack, even if they said they valued it. In this case, if the goal of the match was defined as taking two points, it was likely to indulge the slack emotions. The challenge tournament with an elimination system couldn't tolerate such carelessness.

Three days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was Thursday, and Ye Xiu went to Team Yizhan again to borrow equipment temporarily.

"God... it's always like this. It doesn't seem right." After Lou Guan Ning handed the equipment to Ye Xiu again, he couldn't help but say it again.

After all, Team Yizhan was also participating in the professional league now. Borrowing equipment like this would definitely have an impact. But once or twice was fine. Anyway, Team Yizhan didn't have any ambitious goals this season. But repeatedly doing this, the impact would be magnified.

Team Happy's challenge tournament was on Friday. Usually, they would come to get the equipment on Thursday, and train with the equipment to adapt. But taking it away like this, Team Yizhan would have two fewer days of training time. Team Yizhan's match was on Saturday, so even if they returned it on Friday, there would only be Saturday daytime left. Before the match, no team would carry out too much intense training. The main focus was on adjusting the state. And before this, they were missing equipment for two consecutive days. If this happened too many times, it wouldn't be good for Team Yizhan's training.

Lou Guan Ning felt that God Ye Xiu would definitely understand this principle, and that God Ye Xiu wouldn't be so unaware. But seeing Ye Xiu come and borrow equipment so frankly and naturally, Lou Guan Ning couldn't help but open his mouth and say something, hoping to help God Ye Xiu wake up.

"Yeah, I know. This is a special situation, otherwise I wouldn't bother you. We're also trying our best to create equipment!" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh? God, do you have any ideas for silver equipment?" Lou Guan Ning was very interested when he heard this. This was a resource! For his Team Yizhan, a newly established team, what they lacked was this resource. Research on silver equipment had to start from scratch, and the cost was not ordinary. If there was really a reliable silver equipment production method that could create usable silver equipment in one go, it would naturally be the most suitable.

Of course, Lou Guan Ning also knew that no one would give him this kind of thing for no reason. He also tried to make a transaction request to some clubs. But which club would easily sell this kind of thing? If they were going to sell it, they would sell equipment. Unless they decided not to run the team, no one would completely sell this production plan. Lou Guan Ning finally went around in a big circle and only acquired some equipment that other teams had eliminated, or extra equipment that they were willing to earn some income from. Of course, he hoped to have some long-term meal tickets on hand. When he heard that God Ye Xiu actually had resources in his hands, his eyes lit up again.

"I have some, and I'm actively sorting them out," Ye Xiu replied.

Lou Guan Ning was excited. "Then... do you have anything that we can use?"

"This... I have to sort it out again later. My main focus now is on our team's professions," Ye Xiu said.

"God, please! If you have anything that we can use, you have to think of us. We can easily discuss the price," Lou Guan Ning said. He could afford the money, but the problem was that even if you bought this kind of thing, people had to be willing to sell it! If people weren't willing to sell it, you had to pay a high price. Lou Guan Ning was rich, but he wasn't willing to be such a sucker for no reason. For a character, including the weapon, there were a total of thirteen pieces of equipment. If they were all smashed like this, the blood would be a bit too much.

So Lou Guan Ning bought the twenty pieces that he could buy first to see how things went. Now that he heard that a God with a good relationship might be able to get equipment, Lou Guan Ning was naturally extremely excited.
