The major clubs were anxious about this matter.

Over at Happy Internet Cafe, Ye Xiu and Chen Guo were also looking at the news and the players’ gossip.

“These guys… they’re a little naive when it comes to team building, but they’re quite skilled at hyping things up,” Ye Xiu commented.

“How so?”

“Look, they deliberately split the news into two parts. First, they announced that I had joined the Yizhan Guild, which was released through the forums. Then, they announced the news of them forming a team through the platform’s news. But from beginning to end, did they ever say that I would join their team? No, right?” Ye Xiu said, “This is to prevent being criticized. If they said I joined the team, that would be blatant deception!”

“But this is still intentional misleading!” Chen Guo said.

“Of course.”

“So many tricks!” Chen Guo said with disdain.

“Without a few tricks, how can you survive?” Ye Xiu said.

“Why couldn’t you see these tricks when you were building the team?” Chen Guo said.

“Kids are more innocent,” Ye Xiu said, “But thinking about making a name for themselves, can you say that’s not a trick?”

“Are they really a little lacking in strength, or are you deliberately provoking them?” Chen Guo asked.

“Am I really that unkind?” Ye Xiu said speechlessly.

Chen Guo thought for a moment and said, “Is your kindness because they really lack strength, or are you stimulating them to help them improve?”

“Of course, it’s because they really lack strength,” Ye Xiu said.

“How are they compared to me?” Chen Guo asked.

“You?” Ye Xiu’s eyes already gave the answer.

“You’re so kind!” Chen Guo gritted her teeth.

Chen Guo was paying attention to the news and gossip on her computer, while Ye Xiu was diligently leveling up. Poor him, he couldn't do quests or dungeons in the Heavenly Domain. Although the experience from wild monsters was much more than in the normal servers, his leveling speed couldn't compare to those who were spamming the overflowing level 50 dungeons in the normal servers. The normal servers had already entered the level 51 area, but Ye Xiu had been practicing diligently in the Heavenly Domain for these past few days, and his level was only two-thirds of the way through level 50, a full third slower.

There was no way around it. In this level 50-55 range, no matter how hard Ye Xiu worked, it would be difficult to guarantee his leveling speed. So he wanted to get through this difficult period as quickly as possible. Especially since the situation had been relatively stable recently, Ye Xiu wanted to seize the time. Once he got past this stage, from level 55 to 70, there would be plenty of dungeons and a large number of quests in the Heavenly Domain. Leveling up in dungeons was obviously safer than on the wild maps, and the rewards were much richer.

The sensation outside the game gradually spread into the game. First of all, of course, was the Yizhan Guild itself. When the members heard that their boss was going to form a team and break into the pro scene, they were immediately extremely proud. The members of the Yizhan Guild naturally became the first supporters of Zhan Loulan's guild.

Because of years of accumulation, the Heavenly Domain had a large number of players, and there were ten public world channels, jokingly called Channel One, Channel Two, Channel Three, Channel Four... Now all ten channels were discussing this matter. And the thing players were most interested in knowing about a new team was who the team members would be.

Zhan Loulan and his group were indeed good at hype and promotion, and they had also grasped this mentality of the players. Lord Grim was the first gimmick they released out of thin air to attract attention. But after that, they maintained a sense of mystery and didn't reveal any other members at all.

However, on the evening's e-sports channel news program, the establishment of the new team also made the headlines, and a promotional video that was dug up featured several professional players putting on a dashing performance, further whetting the players' appetites. By this point, players pretty much knew which classes the new team would have, but who were the people? Still, not a single clue was revealed.

The major club guilds were still holding back. In fact, new teams joined the alliance every year, but this was the first time that a team had a foundation in the Glory online game. In addition, Zhan Loulan and Lord Grim were both famous figures, so the attention this new team attracted was unprecedented. No club would be unwise enough to make a move at this sensitive time, not even Excellent Era.

They could only continue to wait, waiting for this wave to pass. What they didn't know was that on the Yizhan Guild side, there had been such a conversation.

"Not bad! Among the new teams over the years, your starting point is the highest," Ye Xiu messaged Zhan Loulan.

"Not bad, not bad." The Zhan Loulan group, who had been beaten down in the arena, received great comfort from this promotion.

"Next, I suggest you gradually release the news bit by bit," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?"

"Being so high-profile, the major teams already hate you. Your foundation in the game can be said to have given them a clear target for suppression. But now you are getting attention, so they don't dare to cause trouble and start fights. Understand?" Ye Xiu said.

"You mean, slowly release the news and maintain this attention for as long as possible?" Zhan Loulan said.

"That's right. You have a foundation in the game, which is very different from previous new teams. So you need to integrate the power in the game into the alliance's power balance as soon as possible, and form a check and balance with the guild forces of other clubs, so that you can develop smoothly," Ye Xiu said.

"So complicated..." Zhan Loulan said.

"You think the pro scene is just one match after another?" Ye Xiu said.

"What else?"

"It's business," Ye Xiu sighed.

Zhan Loulan was silent for a long time before replying, "So boring."

"Indeed," Ye Xiu also agreed.

"But being in the jianghu, one can't help themselves, that's the idea, right?" Zhan Loulan said.

"You understand," Ye Xiu sent a smiling emoji. "Unless you just want to have a good time, then you don't need to care so much."

"I don't want to. Our goal is the championship!" Zhan Loulan said.

"So be sure to lay a good foundation. Championships are not built in a day. You guys have a very good starting point now, so don't waste such a good opportunity," Ye Xiu said.

"A good starting point?" Zhan Loulan was melancholic. "What I'm worried about now is that we've attracted a lot of attention, but our strength doesn't match our popularity at all! When we really enter the league and the real results come out, if it's too bad, I'm afraid we'll immediately lose a large number of supporters, right?"

"Yes, you're right. What you have now is just popularity and attention. If you want to turn these into supporters of your team, you still need to rely on the team's performance in the end. But one thing you need to understand is that teams sometimes win supporters not because of outstanding results, but because of their unique characteristics," Ye Xiu said.

"Characteristics?"

"Characteristics that can resonate with players, preferably unique characteristics. Let me give you a simple example: region. This is a characteristic that can quickly resonate with a large group of players," Ye Xiu said.

"That counts too!" Zhan Loulan sweat.

"Of course. In City H, it's obvious that Excellent Era has the most fans; at the All-Star arena in City S, most of the attendees were cheering for Samsara. Where are you guys located?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I'm in City B," Zhan Loulan said.

"City B..." Ye Xiu sent a helpless expression. All that he just said was for nothing.

Zhan Loulan was obviously aware, "There are already two teams in City B..."

"If you add yourself, that's the third..."

"One of them is still Tiny Herb, the championship team! Are we going to steal Tiny Herb's fans?" Zhan Loulan wanted to cry.

"Isn't it exciting?" Ye Xiu said.

"Too exciting..." Zhan Loulan was speechless and choked up.

"Region is just a congenital and simple characteristic that I gave as an example. Other characteristics, such as ace pro players and characters, are also characteristics. Among them, there is actually a class vacancy right now. I don't know if you've noticed it," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?"

"Did you watch this year's All-Star Weekend?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Of course!" Zhan Loulan said.

"Among the 24 All-Star players and characters, there are no Summoner players or classes," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh..." Zhan Loulan recalled, and it was true.

"So if you can launch an All-Star level Summoner, you can also win a lot of support from Summoner players," Ye Xiu said.

"Summoner... we don't have one either..." Zhan Loulan said pitifully.

"Just an example, I'm just giving an example," Ye Xiu said.

"After hearing your words,大神, I feel like our team has no future?" Zhan Loulan was in tears.

"Uh, what I said were all special cases," Ye Xiu said.

"We don't have any special cases!" Zhan Loulan said.

"Then you can only find the right positioning. You must have a clear idea of what kind of style you want to build the team into," Ye Xiu said.

"…………" Two strings of ellipses showed that Zhan Loulan obviously had absolutely no idea in his heart.

"It's February now, and there are three months left in this season, followed by a three-month summer break. By the time the new season starts in September, you will have a full six months to prepare. You have to find the right method and effectively improve yourselves. Bullying ordinary players in the arena won't help you much anymore," Ye Xiu said.

"Sweat! You even know that?" Zhan Loulan said.

"Know what?" Ye Xiu asked in confusion.

"Nothing... Never mind..." Zhan Loulan was embarrassed for a moment. After being abused by Ye Xiu in the arena last time, they all ran to the arena to find other players to find self-esteem and confidence. Although they were invincible, they didn't regain much confidence. Just now, when Ye Xiu said that, Zhan Loulan thought that their ridiculous behavior was known by the大神.

"There are also some experts in the arena, but it's too difficult to meet them, and most of the time it's a waste of time. You need to fight against real experts to accumulate experience, hone your cooperation in harsh environments, and find the playstyle that suits you best. The members of the team can be replaced, but if the technical and tactical style can be retained, it will also be a great asset to the team. This is also a team's characteristic."

"Another characteristic..." Zhan Loulan foamed at the mouth. So after going around in a circle, he was still talking about this issue.
