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

"Xiao Wen?" Chu Xue's voice was a little hoarse, but full of charm, and she said apologetically, "Sorry, I was just talking to someone about the issue of cooperating with others for next year's endorsement..."

Mr. Chu rolled his eyes while drinking tea. How could his little cotton-padded jacket say that he had become someone else?
Father Chu put down the teacup, looked at Chu Xue with a frown, and asked her to listen to the music outside.

Chu Xue glanced at her father, thought about it, nodded, stood up and walked to the balcony: "New Year's Eve dinner... where are we having it?"

Zhang Jiale's home

Zhang Jiale ran to the bathroom on his own accord, but judging from the shadows, he might be eavesdropping as well.

Gossip about their captain and boss lady is one of the top seasonings of the Ember team! Zhang Jiale couldn't even imagine how happy Dai Yanqi and Chu Yunxiu would be every day if they came to Ember!
Li Wen didn't see Zhang Jiale, he just smiled and said, "Jiale, I came to your house for dinner. Your uncle and aunt cooked a lot of delicious dishes. We also played mahjong together and watched the Spring Festival Gala... well, it's just that the Spring Festival Gala wasn't very interesting."

"It really doesn't make any sense..." Chu Xue thought for a moment and whispered, "Then, come to my house for the New Year next year?"

"Next year?" Li Wen was silent for a long time.

[Promise it, Xiao Wen! ] Su Muqiu on the side urged anxiously.

Li Wen looked at Su Muqiu helplessly. It was not as if Brother Muqiu didn't know what was going on...

but……

Thinking of Chu Xue's cautious attitude just now, Li Wen couldn't bring himself to say that he would wait and see.

"it is good."

"It's settled then! Happy New Year!"

Perhaps because she was afraid that Li Wen would regret his refusal, Chu Xue quickly hung up the phone.

I touched my hot face and it seemed like I had never felt this way since I was a child.

but……

not bad.

With her hands behind her back and even humming a song, Chu Xue felt that this year would definitely be a good year.

"Are you done?" Father Chu asked seriously.

"Yeah." Chu Xue restrained her smile and said, "Boss Chu, I feel that we still have some differences on the contract issue. Specifically, the share of the players under my Ember needs to be improved."

Father Chu almost spit out his tea: "More improvement? The Civet has already given us the peak that any champion team can give!"

"But there will be bigger competitions in the future." Chu Xue said seriously, "And I can guarantee that at least two members of the Embers team will participate..."

Father Chu was stunned for a moment. As the biggest boss of the e-sports industry in the industry, he had naturally heard some rumors. If things could be done smoothly, then it would not be unacceptable to increase the salary a little more...

Chu Xiong was eating melon seeds, looking at his father blankly, then at his sister.

Why do I feel like something big is about to happen?

The most important thing is that you don’t know it?!
Father Chu looked at his useless son with a bewildered face and sighed helplessly. Let him improve. Anyway, with Chu Xiong's current situation, he is more than capable of defending the city, but development still depends on Xiaoxue's future. It's all elementary school money, so let her do whatever she wants...

First day
After taking a short nap, Li Wen was dragged downstairs by Zhang Jiale to set off firecrackers. The two of them tried to light the big red blanket firecrackers two or three times but failed.

"Well...how about I go buy some incense or something? If not, buy a pack of cigarettes and give it to Old Wei when he comes back?" Zhang Jiale asked with a wry smile, looking at Li Wen who was holding a broom and preparing to clean.

"I can only..."

"Heh." A cold laugh sounded, and Sun Zheping walked over in a black coat. He picked up the lighter, squatted, stood up, and did it all in one go, and took Li Wen away.

Zhang Jiale ran over in a panic, took the lighter thrown by Sun Zheping, and shouted, "Couldn't you tell me in advance?"

"You're still an ammunition guy." Sun Zheping sneered, then looked at Li Wen on the side: "What plans do you have for today, Xiao Wen?"

"Brother Zheping, what did you say?!" Li Wen covered his ears and asked loudly.

Sun Zheping didn't say anything. He waited until all the 10,000 firecrackers were set off before asking again.

"There's nowhere to go on the first day of the new year, right? Let's not talk about this for now. Have you eaten? Xiao Wen and I haven't eaten yet. Let's go upstairs and have some dumplings together?"

Sun Zheping was startled: "I've eaten at home, so I won't go up. I'm downstairs..."

"You're being shy like a little girl. Let's go!" Zhang Jiale pushed Sun Zheping towards his own unit.

"You, wait a minute, Xiao Wen is still sweeping up the firecracker residue..."

Sun Zheping said helplessly.

In the end, Sun Zheping followed the two of them to Zhang Jiale's home. Zhang Jiale's parents were a little surprised at Sun Zheping's arrival, but they were still very welcoming. Jiale's mother even complained that Sun Zheping had not been a guest at home for a long time.

Sun Zheping spoke calmly, without telling Jiale's mother the reason, he was just apologizing.

At first, I cut off contact in order not to affect Zhang Jiale, but now I think that I was too self-righteous...

After eating the dumplings, Jiale’s mother did not keep the three to chat. Today she wanted to spend some rare time alone with Jiale’s father. The three of them wisely helped clean up the dishes and left home directly.

The streets were already quite lively on the first day of the New Year. In the following days, everyone was busy visiting relatives and the like, so there were quite a few people today, which is rare.

"where to play?"

"do not know……"

"You came out without a plan?"

"You talk like you have a plan."

【Isn't this what all men do when they go out? 】

The three of them walked and talked, and soon they met an acquaintance.

Baihua's deputy captain Zou Yuan has a beautiful sister by his side. As a gunner, Zhang Jiale naturally spotted the target at a glance and pulled Sun Zheping and Li Wen who wanted to leave: "Wait a minute, look over there! Zou Yuan is a good guy, he's in love!"

"...It doesn't seem like it." Li Wen looked at it and shook his head. Zou Yuan looked helpless, and the attitude of the girls around him towards Zou Yuan didn't seem like they were in love...

Although Li Wen had only watched a few romance anime, he certainly felt that way in his heart.

Sun Zheping shook his head. He was not very familiar with Zou Yuan, so he did not know much about the situation. He just took a look and waited for the curious Zhang Jiale and Li Wen. "I really have something to do today..."

"What's more important than hanging out with me? You've grown wings, haven't you?"

"I... Hey! Captain Li, Captain Zhang, Captain Sun!" Zou Yuan's eyes lit up and he waved his hands quickly.

"It's not appropriate for us to just pretend we didn't hear anything and leave, right?" Zhang Jiale scratched his head awkwardly.

Zou Yuan ran over as if he had seen a savior, so it was really inappropriate to pretend not to see him.

However, the girl next to Zou Yuan's eyes lit up when she saw Li Wen, Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping: "Xiao Yuan, is this your friend?"

"Um, these two are my seniors, Captain Li..." Zou Yuan hesitated.

"Yes, friends." Li Wen said with a smile.

Zou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, this is Li Wen, we are friends, this is my sister... She doesn't pay much attention to the things related to Glory, but she has played Glory, but she played it as Glory Nuannuan..."

Sister Zou Yuan elbowed Zou Yuan: "Hello, thank you for taking care of Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan is a child..."

“Ahem, um, sister, um…” Zou Yuan, who knew his sister’s temper well, interrupted her immediately. If she continued, he would be in trouble: “Um, your friend seems to be over there. Didn’t you two make an appointment to go shopping together? Go quickly. I’ll go with the seniors…”

"Ok?"

"I...I'll go with you." Zou Yuan closed his eyes in pain.

Li Wen and the others nodded awkwardly and left quickly.

Sister Zou Yuan looked at their backs with some regret and hugged Zou Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, how does sister treat you?"

"No...very, very good." Zou Yuan said with a dry laugh.

"Look, my bestie and I always bring you along when we go out to play, so it's not too much for you to push those three handsome guys to me, right?" Sister Zou Yuan asked with a smile, "If it doesn't work, just give me the WeChat of the handsome guy with the doll hanging on his shoulder..."

"Sister, I have a girlfriend..." Zou Yuan recalled the gossip he heard after the competition with Yan Yu, and said helplessly.

"Tsk, that cold-hearted guy's..."

"Senior Sun Zheping and I are not very familiar with each other."

"You are really useless!"

Zhang Jiale, who had already left, suddenly sneezed.

Although they said they were out to play together, there really wasn't anything fun to do. Most of the time, Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale took Li Wen around. Except for two or three days during that summer vacation, Li Wen really hadn't really visited the city properly. The road he was most familiar with was only the three kilometers around the Embers Club, then the road to Spring City University, the train station, the high-speed rail station, and the airport.

"Although it's considered a tourist city, to be honest, the locals are the least impressed." Zhang Jiale smiled helplessly.

“Traveling is just visiting other people’s cities that you’re tired of, and then returning to your own city that you’re tired of,” Sun Zheping said calmly.

"But... the journey itself is very meaningful." Li Wen tilted his head and smiled, looking at the scenery in front of him and the hurried passers-by: "The new friends you may meet, the new scenery you see, the days you spend together, these precious memories themselves are the greatest meaning of traveling!"

Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale were stunned. They turned to look at Li Wen who was watching all this and couldn't help laughing.

"What? I was actually taught a lesson by Xiao Wen."

"Ah."

[Xiao Wen is the one who never goes out unless it is necessary, right?] Su Muqiu directly exposed the truth.

Li Wen scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Second grade
Li Wen said goodbye to Zhang Jiale's family, visited Sun Zheping's home and then left.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is the time for everyone to visit relatives, so it is better not to cause trouble.

After returning to the club, Li Wen began to make plans for the team for next year. Judging from the overall environment of the last two games, all teams have begun to move away from the adaptation and rehearsal stage at the beginning of the season and have entered the stage of rushing for points and preparing for the playoffs.

The closer it gets to this point, the more we cannot afford to be careless just because we are ahead in points.

Ember, who was the champion team of last season, has its own extremely obvious flaws in its playing style. This is why in the championship team prediction, Ember's support rate is much lower than that of teams such as Samsara, Vici Gaming, Blue Rain and Howling, and is almost on par with the Tyranny team.

Is there any good solution to this problem?...

[There is a solution...] Su Muqiu said.

Li Wen took off his plain blue light blocking glasses and looked at Su Muqiu.

[Based on the current situation, even if we have a rotation plan, we cannot guarantee that it will be foolproof. The condition of our players is the same as that of Team Tyranny. If other players use this to their utmost, even if we can enter the playoffs, the condition problem will become an ant hole in the dam.]

This point has been mentioned in every team meeting, but all we can do is prevention and simulation; we cannot truly avoid it.

"So, Brother Mu Qiu, what do you think?"

[Speed ​​up. Since the opponent wants to speed up, then we will satisfy them. You, Qiu Fei, Bai Shu, and Fang Rui and Sun Zheping who are in better condition will be the main players. One or two auxiliary positions will be added to increase burst damage and reduce the consumption of others.] Su Muqiu brought up a commonplace question before: [Among these people, Xiao Wen, you bear most of the pressure. It is better to maintain physical damage. As for mental pressure, we will bear it together.]

"The Mechanic has a high burst transformation... But for the Sharpshooter, should we follow the idea of ​​Samsara?" Li Wen frowned and thought for a moment: "Xiao Qiu's playing style is still different from Sun Xiang's. If we deliberately imitate him, I'm afraid we will end up with something worse than what we have..."

[Then don't do it the way they do.] Su Muqiu said confidently: [As for the cooperation between the sharpshooter and the battle mage, I am better than Samsara! No, they don't have any cooperation at all, they all rush with powerful single cards, and the others just cooperate!]

"Brother Mu Qiu, have you fallen in love with some card games recently..." Li Wen asked helplessly, "Some of the money in our account is missing. Didn't we agree to leave it for Sister Mu Cheng and the others..."

[Ahem, don't worry about these details! Tell others about this news!] Su Muqiu changed the subject abruptly.

"Forget it, let's at least wait until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year..." Li Wen glanced at the calendar: "It's a rare opportunity for everyone to reunite with their families."

[That's true. Let's plan everything out first, come up with an invincible new plan, and then give them a big scare!] Su Muqiu said with full enthusiasm.

“Okay! From now on, the grandest stage will be left to our seniors.” Li Wen took a deep breath.

Full of energy!
