Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

"cheers!"

Fang Rui was the first to raise the juice in his hand and drank it all in one gulp: "Shaha, it feels so good, it really feels so good!"

"Damn it, if someone doesn't know you, they would think you were drinking." Old Wei curled his lips and said disdainfully.

Li Wen smiled, clinked glasses with Sun Zheping beside him, and watched the scene in front of him happily.

The two-on-two battle between Li Wen and Tang Hao did not last too long. After Lin Jingyan on the other side worked together to take down Liu Hao, Zhang Jiale retreated directly to support Li Wen. Lin Jingyan alone stopped the Howling Sixth Ninja.

Zhang Jiale left Tang Hao with a chance to turn the tables. After getting rid of Ruan Yongbin, Fang Shijing also stopped treating Zhibai Shouhei. Zhibai Shouhei got rid of Tang Hao's Tang San Da with a slight advantage, and then rushed to help Lin Jingyan, winning the team competition.

The Embers team also won the second round away game with a final score of 8 to 2.

After the brief press conference, Fang Rui offered to treat everyone to a midnight snack at a night market he frequented most often.

"By the way, where are we going to play tomorrow?" Bai Shu asked curiously, "I heard that the wildlife park in N City is quite fun."

"We're not going to play, we're going to train, team-building training." Li Wen gave a small reminder: "Why don't we go to the game hall?"

"As for a game hall, I do know one. There's still a lot of unused money on the card, enough for us to play for a day tomorrow... er, a day of training." Fang Rui was talking excitedly when the phone next to him rang. The other people who were chatting lowered their voices and stared at the words "Sister Cheng" on the phone. Then their eyes all turned to Fang Rui's face, making Fang Rui feel a little embarrassed: "No, what are you looking at me for? Reporter Cheng, you also saw him at the press conference just now, the one with short hair, no, you know Lao Lin!"

"Yes, I know him." Lin Jingyan nodded happily: "I remember that when we were at Howling, it seemed that you were responsible for connecting with reporter Cheng, right?"

"No, we are fine!" Fang Rui explained quickly.

"No, buddy, we didn't tell you two that anything happened. Why are you panicking?" Zhang Jiale squinted at Fang Rui and said, "Are you feeling guilty? No way? You've been a thief for so many years, and you still feel guilty?"

"Fuck, Lao Lin, explain it to them!"

"At that time, it might have been okay, but I've been gone for more than a year..." Lin Jingyan shook his head, looking embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, Brother Rui, please answer it." Li Wen's eyes lit up as he looked at Fang Rui expectantly.

"By the way, turn on the speakerphone to avoid leaking team information." Fang Shijing said with a smile.

……

"Hello? Sister Cheng?"

"Xiao Fang? Have you arrived at the airport? Is Captain Li here?" the voice on the other end asked decisively.

"what?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the confused Li Wen, and then they looked at each other warily.

Hiss… Here comes the chance to make a contribution, guys. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, no brothers in business, and promotions and salary increases all depend on hand speed! Lao Wei reached for his phone calmly, while Zhang Jiale smiled and remained calm, but his hands kept typing frantically under the table, obviously typing blindly, and the others were also preparing to report the situation to the boss lady.

"Um, we didn't go to the airport. We plan to have a day of training tomorrow... Sister Cheng, what do you want to talk to our Captain Li about?"

"Oh? That's great. Do you and Captain Lin have time to be interviewed tomorrow? I was originally planning to make an appointment with Captain Li." Cheng Siyan asked with some surprise.

"cut……"

"It's boring."

"Pity……"

"Fuck, it's been sent out, quickly withdraw it."

[You are so shameless.] Su Muqiu shouted with disdain. Only Li Wen was still a little confused about the situation. He nodded at Fang Rui, indicating that he could agree to it.

"Well, see you tomorrow!" Cheng Siyan said happily, and asked Fang Rui to send her the address later.

"Then, continue eating?"

"Eat, eat, boss, give me ten more skewers of grilled kidneys!"

"You're begging for death!"

"Ten oysters!"

The slightly relaxed and cheerful celebration banquet began again.

next day
Nanjing Game City

Video game arcades are already a memory of the last era. The arcades that originally existed on the streets have gradually disappeared from everyone's sight after the advent of computers. The video game arcades that were once luxuriously decorated have now become depressed, and it looks like they won't be open for much longer.

To the extent that... after receiving the address, Cheng Siyan didn't even realize where this place was.

Cheng Siyan looked down at herself. She was wearing a black suit, carrying a press card, and a cross-body bag. No matter how she looked at her, she looked like... a staff member of the demolition office.

You won’t be kicked out, right?
Cheng Siyan was a little worried.

"Sister Cheng, this way!"

A familiar voice sounded, Cheng Siyan sighed and walked over there: "You guys... come here for training?"

"The captain suggested it." Fang Rui shrugged. "Besides, it seems that there are indeed some..."

"Damn, do you know how to play? Left, left! Damn, the left side is leaking, stop thinking about your broken Molotov cocktail, okay?" A rough and angry curse interrupted their conversation.

Cheng Siyan was startled and turned her head to look. There were two people standing in front of the machine not far away. A middle-aged man with untidy beard and messy hair was holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth. No one knew how he could curse so clearly with the cigarette in his mouth.

The young man with red hair and ponytail beside him was a little flustered and fired with his gun: "Can't you cover me? Cover me, or I will get a Molotov cocktail and everyone in this area will die!"

"Shit!"

This is a two-player cooperative arcade game in which players use a gun linked to the game console to shoot zombies, but it seems that the two players don't cooperate very well.

Cheng Siyan obviously recognized these two people, the former captain and former former captain of Baihua, Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen.

"What are they doing..." Cheng Siyan blinked and turned to look at Fang Rui.

Fang Rui scratched his head: "The captain said that Lao Zhang and Lao Wei don't cooperate enough in normal times. This method can be used to train their cooperation, dynamic vision and priority in problem solving."

"Is it... useful?" Cheng Siyan asked doubtfully. "Who knows? Maybe the captain saw that everyone has been tense since the summer break and wanted to find an excuse to relax together?" Fang Rui smiled and shook his head.

Cheng Siyan was silent for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "Your captain is really a... huh? What are Captain Lin and the others doing there?"

"Oh, the captain has never played basketball before, and Lao Lin said he would teach the captain." Fang Rui shrugged.

Lin Jingyan, who was concentrating on the shooting machine, did not notice the movement behind him: "Xiao Wen, pay attention, shooting requires skills, 90 degrees, and then, use force with your wrist, like..."

when!
Didn't get in...

Li Wen's eyes wandered for a moment, pretending that he was distracted and didn't notice the situation here.

[This is a bit too fake, Xiao Wen, let me do it, let me show him what a great pitcher is! ] Su Muqiu said expectantly.

Yes, it will be very embarrassing, Brother Mu Qiu.

Li Wen sighed, and then saw Cheng Siyan who also looked a little embarrassed and Fang Rui who was gloating: "Old Lin, you can't do this, let me do it!"

"Go away, isn't there a basketball machine next to it?" Lin Jingyan said with disdain.

"Hey, of course it's fun to play together, so we can have a comparison!" Fang Rui rolled up his sleeves and started competing with Lin Jingyan.

Li Wen smiled, took the initiative to walk to Cheng Siyan, and asked politely: "Hello, reporter Cheng."

"Hello, Captain Li..." Cheng Siyan smiled awkwardly: "Team Ember's training camp is quite special, huh?"

"To improve your skills, you don't have to be in Glory. No matter what it is, you will always feel tired if you keep doing it. But if you change your perspective and strengthen a certain point from other aspects, it will be much better." Li Wen said seriously: "It's like Brother Fang catching dolls, training your eyesight and timing. It doesn't matter whether you can catch it or not, as long as you can aim at the target.

Xiao Qiu is playing with a VR lightsaber over there, and he has a good counterattack mode for large-scale close-range attacks..."

Li Wen explained carefully bit by bit, and as Cheng Siyan listened, she actually felt like the Embers team was really training.

"boom!"

A heavy sound was heard, scaring back Cheng Siyan's compliment. Sun Zheping calmly retracted his fist, looked at the number on the boxing machine, nodded, and began warming up, preparing for the next punch.

"This..." Cheng Siyan looked at Li Wen.

"It is also very important for professional players to have a good body." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Yes... that makes sense." Cheng Siyan nodded awkwardly. Team Ember was probably the most special team he had ever seen. "Ahem, Captain Li, this time I want to write an article from your perspective, as well as Captain Lin and Vice Captain Fang's perspectives, about their views on Wind Howl and the current professional league... As for you..."

Li Wen thought for a moment, motioned Cheng Siyan to wait in the rest area, then bought two bottles of water and handed one to Cheng Siyan: "Actually, compared to Brother Jiale, Brother Lin and Brother Rui, you are already relatively lucky. At least, the fans of Howl are not as extreme as Baihua...

Everyone knows that it is just a matter of different ideas, there is no so-called betrayal or selling out... and the fact is that not only Brother Lin and his team, but also the rest of us in Ember, we all gathered together, in addition to fighting for the championship, more likely because we share the same spirit, and more or less have similar pasts and can see a future, right?"

Cheng Siyan had already entered the working state, and kept recording in the notebook: "Captain Li means that you just complement each other, right?"

"Yes." Li Wen said affirmatively.

"Then, what does Captain Li think of the Howling Team?" Cheng Siyan asked.

"The Howling Team is a very powerful team, and in the future, they will become even more formidable. This is predictable." Li Wen looked at Cheng Siyan seriously: "In this arena, if you don't work hard to improve, you will be eliminated sooner or later, and those who stay will become stronger and stronger. There is no such thing as eternal victory, and similarly, there is no such thing as a reunion that will last forever..."

Cheng Siyan paused for a moment, and was about to ask something else when the noise at the door attracted the attention of two people in the lounge area.

"We are professional players, and we come here for team building... Isn't this a place for children to play?"

"There's nothing wrong with this, right? It took me a lot of effort to find this arcade, and I didn't force you to come, did I? If you want to be admired by others, go out and find an internet cafe."

"Guo Yang, you..."

"You can't even call me senior? And you're still thinking of defeating me?"

"Okay, you guys..."

"I'm really sorry that my video game arcade is so deserted..." The owner of the video game arcade looked at the newcomers with a bad face. He was a little surprised at first what day it was today, as many customers came early in the morning. But from what the two newcomers said, they came here because his place was quiet enough and dilapidated enough. Who could stand this?
"Ahem, sorry boss, they didn't mean that. It's just because these past two days, they..."

"Okay, that's good. Ten dollars and fifteen coins. How much do you want?" The boss waved his hands impatiently.

"Let's... apply for a card." Liu Hao said quickly.

"No card, pay now."

"Okay, then take three hundred... Hmm? Captain Tang, what about... Hmm? Captain Li? Reporter Cheng?" Liu Hao, who was taking out his phone to pay, was also stunned: "You, this is..."

"I'm here for team building as well." Li Wen said with a smile. Cheng Siyan didn't seem embarrassed at all and shook hands with Tang Hao openly. She had basically no friendship with the current members of Wind Howl, and the players she knew before all left Wind Howl more or less because of Tang Hao, so superficial politeness was enough.

Liu Hao was a little embarrassed. God had mercy on him. This was really just a coincidence. I had a stomachache yesterday while waiting for the press conference. When I was squatting on the toilet, I heard my phone pushing a message to this place for some reason, so I thought of coming here to improve the relationship among everyone.

We are all young people. When we were in elementary school, we often went to places like video game arcades to watch people play games, which helped to bring us closer to each other.

Now that I think about it, it’s likely that the members of Yu Jin were also searching for this location near the toilet yesterday…

"Here, your coins." The boss quickly placed several large boxes on the counter: "No refunds after sale!"

Liu Hao looked at the boss speechlessly. He thought, "Since we know each other, you want a refund so we can play together? Is there any need to be so stingy?"

"Everyone, divide up and play by yourselves. Captain Li, I'll go play for a while too." Liu Hao looked at Cheng Siyan, then at Li Wen, and said decisively.

"I'll go over there and have a look."

"Where's the coin pusher?"

"That's all a lie. It's better to catch a doll..."

"I want to go shoot some basketball."

Eh? Wait, those game consoles seem to be where everyone goes to play, so... nothing will happen, right?
Li Wen was stunned for a moment.
