Hu Die Lan
Chapter 211 The Youngsters Surpass the Old
"Huang Shaotian, you don't even know him?!" Wei Guang exclaimed in surprise. In his eyes, Baozi Invasion was quite impressive, but he never expected this guy to ask such an ignorant question.
"What's that?" Baozi Invasion asked.
"Sword Saint! Understand?" Wei Guang said.
"Don't understand," Baozi Invasion answered decisively.
"The most powerful swordsman," Wei Guang said.
"Oh? Sounds interesting. My fighting spirit is starting to burn. Are you the Sword Saint?" Baozi Invasion asked Huang Shaotian.
"I'm not, Huang Shaotian is," Huang Shaotian replied calmly. Others were hard to fool, but this dimwit Baozi Invasion was easy to deceive.
"What a pity you're not, otherwise I would have fought you," Baozi Invasion said.
"Yeah, yeah..." Huang Shaotian said. It was easy to fool him, but where did this little white's air of arrogance come from? Huang Shaotian had the urge to smack him.
"Who's the most powerful Brawler?" Baozi Invasion ignored him and continued talking to Wei Guang.
"Uh, the best Brawler player right now, everyone says it's Tang Hao from Team Hundred Blossoms, but his Brawler character, Deli Luo, isn't the strongest Brawler character. The strongest Brawler character is probably Lin Jingyan's Tang San Da from Team Wind Howl," Wei Guang said.
"Oh... is that so..." Baozi Invasion's reaction was lackluster, and he went to scratch his head on the side. All of a sudden, there were two players and two characters, the strongest player and the strongest character, which made him a little dizzy.
"Wei Guang, you know quite a lot!" Ye Xiu, who had been leading the way and hadn't participated much in the conversation, suddenly said. He was filled with emotion! Wei Guang, like Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, was a newbie, but he knew so much about Glory. This was at least a manifestation of passion and interest.
"I saw everyone saying that online, am I right?" Wei Guang said.
"Pretty much. But Lin Jingyan might be retiring soon," Ye Xiu suddenly said with a sigh. He was also experiencing this helplessness brought about by the ruthless passage of time.
"Yeah... maybe at the end of this season, or at most one more year," Huang Shaotian said after hearing Ye Xiu's sigh.
"Tang Hao should be poached by Team Wind Howl, right?" Ye Xiu said.
"Everyone in the circle knows that Lin Jingyan is definitely retiring, so if Wind Howl goes to poach Tang Hao at this time, they'll definitely be taken advantage of. Currently, Team Hundred Blossoms is doing much better in terms of management! I think Team Hundred Blossoms might even buy the account of Tang San Da," Huang Shaotian said.
In the league, in addition to player transfers, account characters are also allowed to be traded. How much equipment on the character is included in the transaction is up to the two parties to negotiate. Generally speaking, it will be a full set of equipment. A character without equipment has no meaning other than possibly having more skill points and character fame.
"You're right," Ye Xiu said.
"Look how smart your Team Excellent Era is! They quietly poached Sun Xiang first, and then let you retire... If they let you retire first and then poached Sun Xiang to fill the vacancy, it would definitely be at a different price," Huang Shaotian said.
"Yeah," Ye Xiu responded.
"Haha, but no matter what, another strong opponent is about to be born. Lin Jingyan's Tang San Da is no longer the first-rate Brawler he used to be, but Tang Hao plus Tang San Da... a new god is about to rise!" Huang Shaotian's topic drifted back again.
"The waves behind push the waves ahead," Ye Xiu sighed. The professional league circle was so cruel. Anyone whose strength declined was likely to be replaced by up-and-coming stars. Familiar names disappeared from this circle one after another, replaced by fresh and energetic faces. Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, and this Tang Hao... these were all outstanding figures of the new generation, and after demonstrating their talents, they began to ascend to the most gorgeous stage to become protagonists.
When he returned, how many familiar guys would he meet? Ye Xiu couldn't help but think.
Just as he was feeling melancholy, Huang Shaotian's Flowing Tree approached Ye Xiu's Lord Grim again, and said in a low voice, "I see it."
"See what?" Ye Xiu asked.
"You'll pull together a team of your own when you return to the league, right?" Huang Shaotian said. "Su Mucheng goes without saying, her contract just happens to be expiring. That girl, and that Baozi, both have a lot of potential. I finally understand why you wanted to play in the new server. There are more opportunities and more benefits in the new server! Even talents. Where else but the new server would there be more of this fresh blood waiting to be discovered? In the old servers, even the ninth server that's only been around for a year, such newbies would probably have been discovered by the major guilds and noticed by the professional teams long ago. Now it's all good, you've taken the lead in the tenth server!"
"Hehe, it's all coincidence. That girl is my colleague at the internet cafe, and Baozi was accidentally met during the game, it wasn't intentional," Ye Xiu said.
"Then what about that Qiao Yifan? You've even extended your claws to poach people from the pro circle! Which team is this guy from? I've never even heard of his name," Huang Shaotian said.
"Tiny Herb."
"Tiny Herb? Damn, a member of the championship team, and I don't even know his name, this kid is seriously buried! No wonder you poached him," Huang Shaotian's eyes were always sharp when it came to identifying key issues.
"Poach? You're exaggerating. I've retired and am working at an internet cafe, what kind of position do I have to poach people? This kid just needs some help," Ye Xiu said indifferently.
"That's how it is now, but who knows what it will be like when you return to the league? There are so many excellent newcomers by your side right now, don't you have any thoughts like that?" Huang Shaotian said.
Ye Xiu was silent.
As he himself had said, meeting Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion were both relatively coincidental events.
Tang Rou was a pure coincidence, while the coincidence of Baozi Invasion was a coincidence with some inevitability. It was as Huang Shaotian said, in the new server, such potential newcomers were waiting to be developed. It was accidental that Ye Xiu could meet such a potential guy, but also inevitable.
Baozi Invasion was the first person like this that Ye Xiu had met, and Wei Guang was the second that he had seen.
Also a newbie, Wei Guang was far behind Baozi Invasion in terms of actual operating skills, but this person's theory was quite solid. He could write a flawless strategy after reading a strategy guide and watching videos, which showed that this person had a high tactical intuition and accomplishment. As long as his operating skills improved, he would definitely be a good player who could stand on his own. Moreover, his spirit of research would be very helpful if he joined a team. Professional competitions were not just about practicing good operations and then going up to fight.
Studying the map, studying the opponent's tactics, and arranging one's own tactics... when it came to the professional circle, what determined the outcome of a confrontation was not just equipment and technology.
Meeting Tang Rou was a pure coincidence, meeting Baozi Invasion was accidental with inevitability, and discovering Wei Guang had some more proactive meaning. Although it was a coincidence that Wei Guang and Baozi Invasion met, even without their meeting, Ye Xiu had already begun to actively contact this player.
Because from the idiot's guide, he had already seen this person's shining points.
Ye Xiu had never been stingy with guidance for newbies. But guidance had to be worthwhile and meaningful. Grabbing a random passerby and saying that you could teach them to become a god was better than selling Tathagata's Palm on the street.
It was important that the person teaching was willing to teach, but it was even more important that the person learning was willing to learn.
Among the people around Ye Xiu, Tang Rou had a strong desire to win. She was not only thinking about learning, but also about surpassing.
Baozi Invasion, this guy already had a lot of game experience, and he had his own path. Ye Xiu had only given him some entry-level pointers, and then this guy could integrate them and form his own fighting style. Ye Xiu only needed to remind him of some obviously unreasonable points.
Qiao Yifan, needless to say, had proactively sought Ye Xiu for guidance.
Wei Guang was extremely studious. He had looked at strategy guides and videos for each hidden Boss in the level 30 dungeon and mentally supplemented so many detailed strategies. However, Wei Guang's talent was misplaced in making strategies for people who didn't need them. Ye Xiu wanted to find him to tell him this.
Gather these people together and form a team...
Huang Shaotian was right, Ye Xiu wouldn't never have had such thoughts. However, it was just a thought. Ye Xiu knew very well that making this a reality was not so easy.
Forming a team and becoming a professional player was a kind of life. Ye Xiu could decide his own, but he couldn't unilaterally decide for others.
Becoming a professional player? These words might be very tempting to many Glory players. But what about these people?
Tang Rou herself had little interest in Glory. She had entered the game simply to compete with Ye Xiu. Her interest was still being cultivated. She would even reject an invitation from a championship team like Tiny Herb, so what could Ye Xiu use to convince her?
Baozi Invasion was simple-minded. Ye Xiu suspected that if he made this suggestion, this guy would nod and shout "Let's do it" in less than five seconds. But precisely because of this, Ye Xiu felt more pressure, because it was equivalent to him setting Baozi Invasion on this path. He would be fully responsible for whether it succeeded or failed.
Qiao Yifan was originally a member of the championship team. With his advice, more practice would eventually show his skills. The people at Tiny Herb weren't fools. The fact that they had chosen Qiao Yifan to join the team early on showed that they had long been aware of this child's potential. Perhaps it was only because Gao Yingjie was more talented and more focused that Qiao Yifan was constantly ignored. As long as he had real strength, how could he be abandoned?
As for Wei Guang, he had only just met him. They weren't familiar, so thinking about this was even more of a joke.
Huang Shaotian's long speech made Ye Xiu seriously and carefully sort out this issue again.
Bringing a new team back to the league would really be the waves behind pushing the waves ahead!
