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

Embers Guild Studio

"You really don't need our help?" Old Wei asked with a cigarette in his mouth, not giving up.

"We really don't need Boss Wei..." The younger brother who has become the chairman of the branch union said helplessly: "Last season we got a lot of strategies from Happy. The limit is there, and the rest can be done by just using time. There is no need for the bosses to come on stage..."

No wonder I was so nervous, the lineup in front of me was really a little scary.

Lao Wei, who was leading the group, didn't say anything. Fang Shijing, who was dragged behind him, had a helpless look on his face, but he didn't show any intention of leaving... Although priests are basically not brought along to save time nowadays, Fang Shijing's level in other professions except the priest is similar to that of the elite players in the guild, so Lao Wei simply brought him along as well.

Then there were Fang Rui, Lu Liang, and Bai Shu, who were lying in front of the guild members and watching them have fun. They were just like the young people in the Internet cafes in the past who had no money to turn on the computers and would just watch others play games behind them.

On the other side, the captain of Ember, Li Wen, was looking through the current guild materials with great interest. Standing on his left and right were the masters Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale. Lin Jingyan sat down after talking to a guild member and was happily operating his hands. On the other side, Qiu Fei borrowed a battle mage's account to spar with the guild members who had changed shifts but had not left yet...

This is just a pioneering job, why did the whole team come here?

The branch leaders' legs are a bit weak.

According to reliable sources, in the previous season, Excellent Era was eliminated because the vice-captain was busy with the new dungeon, which directly ruined the performance of the entire team. Weicao was also affected by this incident for a period of time.

If the entire professional team came here, let alone anything else, even if they lost their current top spot in the standings, the branch president was sure that the fans of the Embers team would come and tear him to pieces.

Besides, it wouldn't sound good if this got to other people's ears...

We really can’t let the bosses stay here…

"How about, Boss Wei, I'd like to invite all the bosses to take a shower?" the branch president asked cautiously.

Lao Wei glanced at him and said, "Come on, save the money every month. Do we still need you to treat us? Come on, guys. We don't need any help here..."

"That's fine. With the current results, even if we play, it will be like this."

"Old Ye's grandson is really good..."

"If you ask me, the people in the official Glory are just lazy. Every time a server is launched, there are only so many books and they don't change them..."

"That's true."

The group of people saw that there was really no fun to be had, and that staying here would disturb others from working, so they simply teamed up and walked out.

"So, where to go next?"

"How about going back to training?"

"It's a hard-earned day off, we need to relax and work in moderation... By the way, didn't Xiao Wen take on a clothing endorsement before? Why didn't you go?"

Li Wen scratched his head: "It was originally agreed upon, but when we were about to sign the contract, Sister Chu Xue stopped us..."

"Oh?"

"Hey, you guys don't know yet? The endorsement was for a vlog, a couple's version, and Xiao Wen was asked to pair it with another girl. The boss's wife was not happy about it, as it was difficult for Party A. But since our boss has a good image and good temperament, she wanted our boss to be on the show as well. The boss's wife did agree, but the script had to be changed, and she said that it had to be changed carefully, and the time was set after the All-Star Weekend, which was equivalent to giving Party A a concession." Lao Wei argued stealthily.

"Wow." Fang Rui held a handful of melon seeds in his hand and nodded repeatedly: "There is such a thing? Then our lady boss has decided to eat Xiao Wen."

"But Xiao Wen..." Zhang Jiale looked up at Li Wen who was happily chatting with Bai Shu and said, "Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

"Well, after this season is over, let's help to bring them together?"

"Don't worry about this, okay?"

"So, where are we going now?"

Things seemed to have come back to the starting point. A group of grown men looked at each other. If they were separated, they would be able to team up well. Old Wei dragged Old Fang, Lu Liang, and Bai Shu to go take a bath. Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping were locals, so they could go home to visit. Fang Rui and Lin Jingyan could go anywhere, but Xiao Wen and Qiu Fei... these two could be considered moderate stay-at-home types. If they were told to go their separate ways, they would immediately turn around and go back to the club for training.

Although hard work is a good thing, we also need to strike a balance between relaxation and tension, right?

"How about...the gym?" Lu Liang suggested.

"You used to be quite clever, but now you're always saying, like Sun Da, wait a minute, let me take another look." Old Wei said impatiently, but soon he stared at the phone in Lu Liang's hand: "This ball is quite...white, is it authentic, Old Zhang?"

"You ask me... I don't know." Zhang Jiale rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Besides, do you want to go play basketball? I'm embarrassed to expose you for what you want to do."

"I asked, I asked Lao Chu, and he guaranteed it." Lu Liang said slyly.

[What other options are there? Go ahead! Xiao Wen has been lacking exercise recently, so playing ball is good.] Su Muqiu lay down next to Lao Wei, staring at Lu Liang's phone.

"Hey, captain, how about we go to the gym to play? It's a big place with all kinds of balls." Fang Rui raised his head and shouted to Li Wen who was still walking in front.

"Huh? Play ball?" Li Wen was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Su Muqiu nodding frantically, he agreed.

Playing ball is also good.

"I'll show you what twenty years of picking up girls entails." Old Wei straightened his clothes and said proudly.

"Don't brag, Boss Wei. Let me show you what a court white dragon is."

“Hehe…” Looking at the few people who were bragging and comparing themselves with each other, Fang Shijing shook his head.

Even though these people are talking as if they have experience, doesn't Lao Fang know them? Take Lao Wei for example, he is like an old gangster. Ever since he scared the kindergarten kids and was scolded by the young female teacher, he now subconsciously puts out his cigarette when he walks in front of the kindergarten, and even volunteers.

Although it was just helping to clean the streets.

This group of guys can only be regarded as having the will but not the courage to do something, but...

Only when they arrived at the stadium did Fang Shijing sigh.

Well, there's no need to even have the intention to steal this time.

"Damn it, I miscalculated. I forgot today is Tuesday." Old Wei said with a gloomy face. "It is indeed a miscalculation. It's a pity that I can't let you see my heroic figure..." Fang Rui sighed.

"Would you please stop bragging?"

A group of old guys gathered together and sighed, only Li Wen was looking at the layout of the court with great interest.

He had never been to this kind of multi-purpose stadium, and everything was new to him: "What are we going to play?"

"Uh..." The few people who were originally planning to disband and go their separate ways saw Li Wen so expectant that they couldn't say the words that were on their lips anymore.

"Or, a workout would be nice too..."

"Yeah, maybe there will be more people in the afternoon?"

"It's all here..."

As for Li Wen, everyone's attitude has always been to pamper him if possible, and if not, create opportunities to pamper him...

Bai Shu scratched his head and suggested, "How about... playing basketball?"

Basketball can be said to be Bai Shu’s second favorite sport during his time abroad, besides Glory. He is very confident. In this aspect, he can be considered a senior to others, right?
Sorry, I have to make a fool of myself today! Bai Shu was proud inside, but hesitant on the surface.

"Basketball, I haven't played it for a long time, but it's ok, how do we divide into groups?" Zhang Jiale tied up all his hair with a smile and stretched his body: "Let's divide into groups. Me, Da Sun, Lao Fang, Lao Lin and Xiao Wen are in one group, and the rest of you are in another group, how about it?"

"Wait a minute, why are you two the team, while we only have Lao Wei and Lao Fang?" Lu Liang raised his hand and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Aren't you and Bai Shu a duo of Liuzi..."

Lu Liang and Bai Shu were both stunned and looked at each other. It seemed that what he said was correct?

Lu Liang frowned. The main reason was that there was a Da Sun on the opposite side. If he didn't think of a way to replace Fang Rui himself, he felt that he was quite a rogue...

Bai Shu touched Lu Liang and gave him a look. Lu Liang was startled and nodded calmly.

"You two... why are you still flirting with each other?"

"Hehe, go ahead and start playing. I'll go to the front desk to rent a ball. You guys change your clothes and warm up." Lu Liang quickly shook his head and ran over in a hurry.

Basketball is a sport that Li Wen is relatively familiar with. When Li Wen stayed at Zhang Jiale's house during the summer break, Zhang Jiale often dragged him and Sun Zheping to play basketball together.

Speaking of which, Li Wen's pitching skills are pretty good, he can hit seven or eight out of ten balls.

Li Wen changed his clothes and began to make serious preparations for the game. On the other side, Bai Shu had already started discussing tactics with Lao Wei and the others.

There are naturally not so many rules when playing basketball among family members. After Li Wen and Bai Shu simply shot to decide the order, the ball fell to... Li Wen's side.

"Damn, what's going on? Didn't you say you would take him flying?" Lu Liang nudged Bai Shu and asked in a low voice.

Bai Shu was also stunned: "I didn't expect Xiao Wen to have such a good sense of the ball. Oh no, could it be that Xiao Wen is playing dumb? Actually, you guys are all pretty good at playing basketball?"

"I'm just like that. I seldom go out. Looking at the arrogant looks of Lao Fang and Lao Wei, I know they are in big trouble too. Xiao Qiu seems to be quite calm. He must be a master." Lu Liang analyzed seriously.

If anything happens, analyze it yourself first. You will never hear the truth on the court.

"Xiao Qiu, I'll depend on you for a while." Lu Liang patted Qiu Fei's shoulder sincerely.

Qiu Fei was stunned: "Um, Brother Lu, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Liang rushed forward to defend Fang Rui in front of him.

As experienced stay-at-home players, their levels were actually quite poor. Bai Shu, the only one who had practiced, had not touched the ball for a long time and his strength had declined significantly. However, everyone had a lot of fun playing together, and the score was very close. Su Muqiu flew around the court acting as a referee: [Okay, there are still two minutes left to end the game. The score between the two sides is very close. The current scoring MVPs of both teams are Bai Shu and Li Wen respectively. However, because of their outstanding performances, the two of them were forcibly guarded by the other side's players, and the ball almost never reached their hands.

Beautiful! Lin Jingyan was intercepted by Lao Wei when he tried to break through. Lao Wei used this fake move very properly, but maybe it was because of his old age? It looks like Lao Wei is out of breath now. I really don't know what kind of mentality they had when they said confidently that they would play the whole game.

Oh, breakthrough, breakthrough again, but that's it. Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping, two generals in front, have come up to intercept, but... crotch pass! Lao Wei passed the ball to Lv Liang who wanted the ball. Lv Liang tried to jump, but Sun Zheping blocked him. The height of this ball seemed to be too low. It should be...

No, no, no one seemed to notice Qiu Fei who was standing under the backboard! Qiu Fei was very low-key throughout the game, like an assassin. In the last ten seconds, did Qiu Fei... um... ah? 】

The ball rolled past Qiu Fei, and Qiu Fei showed that he wanted the basketball, but failed to get it.

Didn't...didn't catch it? Xiao Qiu, shouldn't you be a master? You didn't catch the ball after throwing it like this?
time up.

Li Wen's team eventually won the game by one point, but Li Wen did not go to the opponent to get angry like other predecessors. Instead, he patted his chest and promised to teach Qiu Fei how to play basketball.

"Drink some water first." A cold voice came. Li Wen was stunned for a moment and looked behind him. Chu Xue was holding a thermos cup and handed it to him: "Don't drink cold water, drink some warm water."

"Oh, thank you Sister Xue, but the others..." Li Wen glanced in another direction. Chu Xiong was holding a box of water and chatting with others, bragging: "You should ask me to play with you. I am known as the little black dragon on the court, okay..."

"Forget it, Bai Shu said he was Little White Dragon, but his score was a little lower than Xiao Wen's." Lu Liang curled his lips, but soon asked curiously: "By the way, why are you here? The boss lady is here too. Are you here just to bring water to Xiao Wen?"

Chu Xiong, who was originally bragging enthusiastically, was stunned, his eyes wandering to the side: "Well... at that time, after you, Boss Lu, sent me a message, my sister was also beside me..."

Lu Liang widened his eyes: "Then..."

"That's it." Chu Xiong scratched his head: "Fuck, is it cut so fast?"

The others had already moved their positions horizontally, completely distanced themselves from Lu Liang, and acted as if they were not very familiar with each other. "What nonsense, what separation? We don't even know him, okay?"

"That's it."

Li Wen, who was over there, took a sip of water while curiously looking at Lv Liang who was rushing to the other side. Seniors, why are you arguing again?
