Hu Die Lan
Chapter 913 A Third Round Yet
The Sharpshooter class isn't available in every team, but when teams select talent, the class is just a reference. It's usually not a deciding factor. Ultimately, it depends on the player's skill. Moreover, Glory's tactical system isn't so rigid. Usually, everyone is more familiar and skilled with the original class system. Replacing it with a new class just requires some coordination. Complete incompatibility with a certain class is rare.
So, when these two eye-catching players suddenly jumped out on the overall rankings, and Ye Xiu had these thoughts, all the club guilds didn't lag behind Ye Xiu in this regard.
Friend requests flew towards these two players like snowflakes.
Ye Xiu himself was much more famous than any of these guild leaders, but in terms of the weight of this invitation, his was undoubtedly the lightest.
No matter what, Happy was just a newly established team that was still working hard in the Challenger League. Especially with the powerhouse Excellent Era in this season's Challenger League, Happy's future was very uncertain.
And what about the other guilds? The teams behind them were at least firmly established in the professional league. They could give these two players things that were very different from what Happy could offer. Even Excellent Era had a stronger backbone than Happy at this time. Their confidence made it easier for people to believe in them.
However, Ye Xiu's friend request was finally successful. He just sent a message, but it took a while to receive a reply: "In an event…"
Ye Xiu was stunned.
"Christmas event?" Ye Xiu replied.
"Yes!" the other side quickly replied.
"Their three rounds aren't over yet!" Wei Chen, who was watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise. The score of 30 pairs of socks was not their full score, but just their score in two rounds of the event. Taking the average of their previous score, they could probably get 45 pairs of socks after three rounds.
40 pairs or more was the level that Ye Xiu thought a professional player should have. He originally thought that these two were players with insufficient skill, but looking at it this way, their level was quite high. Could they really be professional players from some team?
Ye Xiu didn't rush to ask. The other party was busy participating in the event. Ye Xiu waited patiently. As for when it would end, that was simple. Just keep an eye on the overall rankings. These two wouldn't be able to get zero socks in this round, no matter what, right? Once their two-person team's data was updated, that would be the end of their round of the event.
Ye Xiu didn't wait long. The data of this two-person team on the overall rankings was updated.
46 pairs!
Mo Gan Hui Shou and Shui Bu Di Tou's final score was obviously very high-end.
Ye Xiu and Bao Zi's 51 pairs were because they were lucky enough to get a grand slam in the first round. Otherwise, based on their performance in the second and third rounds, they would have scored 15 or 16 pairs, which would be around 45 pairs after three rounds.
Mo Gan Hui Shou and Shui Bu Di Tou seemed to have lost to Ye Xiu and Bao Zi, but the competitiveness they showed was no less than that of Ye Xiu and Bao Zi.
"Professionals?" Seeing that the two had finished the event, Ye Xiu immediately sent a message. If they were really professionals, then there was no need to waste time.
"No." The other party's reply gave Ye Xiu a glimmer of hope. However, he was also very clear that such outstanding results had probably been noticed by many club guilds at this time. Recruiting talents in the game was a major function of club guilds. It would be a clear dereliction of duty if they didn't ask. Ye Xiu estimated that these two were probably being bombarded with messages at this time, so their replies were inevitably brief.
"You must be very busy right now?" Ye Xiu said knowingly.
"Yes." The other party's response was still flat.
Ye Xiu didn't waste time and simply laid it all out: "Your level is very high-end. I guess all the major teams want to contact you now. How about it? Do you have any intentions in that regard?"
"Considering." The answer was still simple.
"Hehe, have you considered something more challenging?" Ye Xiu said.
"Start from the Challenger League?" the other side replied. This showed that they were not like Mo Fan, a reclusive expert who played on their own. They were quite knowledgeable about the Glory scene. They knew that Jun Mo Xiao's Happy team was in the Challenger League and understood what Ye Xiu meant.
"How about it, are you interested?" Ye Xiu replied.
"Hehe, no." The other side directly rejected him.
"Actually, participating in the Challenger League first as a warm-up, and then taking a step further to play in the official professional league, is a good transition!" Ye Xiu, who had been rejected, wasn't discouraged and continued to state the facts and reason with them.
"Is there a need for that?" the other side replied.
"You're very confident!" Ye Xiu said.
"Of course." the other side replied.
Ye Xiu looked at Wei Chen and Chen Guo, who were paying attention to them on the left and right, and showed a regretful expression.
Although there wasn't much dialogue and the content was simple, Ye Xiu had already read a lot of information from it. The other party knew a lot about Glory. Although they didn't state their intentions, Ye Xiu clearly felt the clarity of their attitude. They had ambition for the professional scene and were quite confident in their abilities. For such people, Happy's appeal was extremely limited.
Happy didn't have a position and couldn't offer high salaries. The people they had recruited, apart from Wei Chen and Wu Chen, were all growing up with Happy. Everyone was working hard and preparing together to become a professional team and professional players. And these two in front of him, whether out of confidence or arrogance, at least their mentality was no different from that of a professional player. They might still have room for improvement and growth, but at least at this moment, they regarded themselves as mature.
Mature players would naturally choose mature teams. Happy, which was still in the preparation stage, was naturally not within their consideration. This was the same reason why many professional players wouldn't choose to join Happy. Unless there were some special reasons. But for these two in front of him, Ye Xiu couldn't find any special reasons. The argument that they could prepare and adapt in the Challenger League first had been easily ignored by them.
"These two guys are a bit arrogant!" Wei Chen said with emotion.
Wei Chen wasn't the only one who thought so. The major club guilds that had spoken to the two had already felt their pride and confidence. However, it was their duty, so they couldn't make judgments based on their own preferences. On the one hand, they first contacted them to get a sense of their situation. On the other hand, they were sending the news to the clubs. The guild departments had the responsibility to discover talents, but whether or not to use them wasn't within their authority. This wasn't as simple as joining a guild.
The clubs received the news, and then various specialists came to contact them.
It was impossible to determine the strength of the two based on their performance in a single event and then offer random conditions. When the formal contact began, the clubs would ask for their names, ages, and other relevant basic information. In addition, they would want some real battle recordings. If that wasn't possible, they could fight in the arena to practice.
In short, what they had to do now was to figure out the other party's true level. That's how they would make arrangements. Don't think that Ye Xiu came up and asked directly if they were interested in something more challenging. If the other party really said yes, Ye Xiu would also ask them for corresponding information. It was a pity that Happy couldn't get to this point at all.
Ye Xiu didn't go to understand this further, but someone sent it to him.
Lou Guan Ning.
The boss and team captain of Yizhan team invited Ye Xiu to watch and appraise the combat recording files he had obtained from the two.
"Alright!" Ye Xiu didn't refuse. Although he knew they had no chance, Ye Xiu was honestly curious about these two and wanted to see what their level was.
The recording file was in Glory's own recording player format. He loaded it and played it. The screen showed a one-on-one duel. The two characters in the arena were Mo Gan Hui Shou and Shui Bu Di Tou. Both characters were equipped with the most popular windbreaker and top hat for Sharpshooters, which was undoubtedly a trend started by Zhou Zekai. One Autumn Leaf’s gray trench coat and black polite hat had simply become the iconic equipment for Sharpshooters. Players felt that if they wore such equipment, their characters could be as unrestrained as One Autumn Leaf under Zhou Zekai. Later, because there were too many people copying it, players were willing to make some changes in color.
The battle started quickly. The two fought fiercely, so fast that Chen Guo was quickly dumbfounded. But after watching for a while, Ye Xiu turned his head and glanced at Wei Chen. Wei Chen immediately curled his lips: "Fake!"
"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded. "They're cooperating."
"What?" Chen Guo came back to her senses.
"It's not a real fight." Ye Xiu said while still watching carefully. "However, the purpose isn't to deceive people. It's to fully demonstrate their operating skills like this."
"Their level is not bad," Wei Chen said. The operating skills displayed in the video were quite high. However, since it was a fake demonstration, it must be a routine that was deliberately practiced. Otherwise, how could they show the skills so comprehensively? Wei Chen's final evaluation was restrained because of this consideration.
"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded in agreement. Lou Guan Ning sent a message at this time: "Is this a well-practiced formation?"
"Yes!" Ye Xiu replied.
"I was wondering!" Lou Guan Ning was amazed like Chen Guo at first, but after all, he was more skilled and quickly saw the trick.
"There's more," Lou Guan Ning then sent something else. This time, it was no longer a video file from the game player, but an external one. This type of file usually had some post-production.
Sure enough, this video was an edited version of the two's real battles. This time, it was no longer a performance, and the two were not opponents. This was the two fighting side by side, edited from many matches in the arena. There were 2v2, 2v3, 2v4, and even 2v5. The level of online game players was not enough to pose any threat to the two, so these recordings did not involve any wins or losses. They were all some of the two's wonderful performances.
"These two people's cooperation is amazing!" As soon as she finished watching, Chen Guo immediately blurted out.
