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

"If we fight one-on-one, it's no problem. We can use the home advantage to drag on in the subsequent games, but..." Bai Shu hesitated: "Even if we can fight through Samsara and win, how are we going to play in the finals?"

Indeed, with the end of the first round of games, neither Samsara nor Embers entered overtime, and the next opponent and home and away games have basically been determined.

The news started spreading last night, and today some people have already called this an early final, just like last year's final.

In the ninth season, after Team Ember defeated Team Samsara, all members basically rested for more than half a month before they recovered.

Even if we can win this time...what should we do next?
"Don't think about it so early. The outcome of the next game is still uncertain." Lao Wei yawned and said unhappily, with some resentment in his eyes.

Bai Shu was stunned for a moment, then he looked in the direction Lao Wei was looking and instantly understood what Lao Wei meant.

[Don't put too much pressure on Xiao Wen.]
Bai Shu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hahaha, yes, yes, the key is to finish the next game first."

"That's right." Fang Ruile tried to smooth things over in a friendly manner.

Li Wen looked at the meeting room which had become lively again. How could he not know what everyone was thinking? He just sat there quietly watching others discuss.

"Brother Mu Qiu, you won't lose, right?" Li Wen asked in a low voice.

[Don't worry.] Su Muqiu nodded happily: [I guarantee you'll win!]

"By the way, the overtime match between Xingxin and Tyranny will be held at the venue in City S. Should we go there a few days in advance and watch the game or something?" Zhang Jiale suggested enthusiastically.

"Oh? That's fine. I can also find some inspiration along the way."

"Book a ticket?"

"I have to report this to the boss in advance..."

"I'm the boss too! I've approved it for you!" Old Wei said carelessly, "The club will reimburse you for your travels and accommodations, and I'll pay for the food and beverages!"

"What a blast!"

Chu Xue naturally had no objection to Li Wen's application. After simply reminding him to be safe and have fun, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

As the Ember Team advanced to the semi-finals, the number of endorsements increased significantly.

Although everyone is optimistic that the Embers will make it to the playoffs this season, not many people are optimistic about how far they can go in the playoffs. After all... average age and physical exhaustion are a common problem for the Embers.

But unexpectedly, the Embers team made it into the semi-finals.

When signing the contract before, Chu Xue was particularly careful and added in the supplementary terms that as the team's performance improves, the other terms will change accordingly.

This is already considered some preferential treatment for those endorsers who signed contracts in advance. There are also many endorsers who were not optimistic about the Embers team before and want to renegotiate the contract.

Therefore, Chu Xue, Chu Xiong, and even the professional managers seconded from Lingmao have been very busy these days. They are either negotiating cooperation or on their way to discuss cooperation.

After getting the boss's consent, the members of the Embers Team boarded a plane to City S the next day.

We were all boys and didn't have much luggage, so three taxis were enough to accommodate all of us.

Old Wei muttered as he sat in the passenger seat: "Glory has had a huge impact on the development of the tourism industry. Hotels in other cities where there are no competitions are easy to book, but I almost couldn't get a room in City S."

"Indeed, the Samsara Club has become a landmark in our S City." The driver took over the conversation cheerfully, his words full of pride: "Although I don't play Honor of Kings, my son and daughter both like this. My son likes Zhou Zekai from the Samsara team the most. My daughter said a few years ago that she liked Su Mucheng the most, but in recent years she seems to like Li Wen, the captain of last year's championship team... By the way, to be honest, members of the Samsara team have ridden in my car!"

"Like Li Wen?!" Old Wei laughed out loud and gave the driver a thumbs up: "Master, your daughter has really good taste! My little... ahem, Li Wen is the one in the professional league now!"

"Hahahaha, of course!" the driver laughed.

Li Wen blushed a little at their words and shifted his gaze to the window, not looking at Qiu Fei's teasing eyes.

"Really? They are professional players!" Bai Shu smiled happily while lying in the middle of the chair, "Besides these two, do you know the other players in the other teams, Master?"

"Of course, there are many people who have ridden in my car, like that guy...you know that guy, right?" The driver became interested and started chatting with Lao Wei Baishu while driving.

Li Wen and Qiu Fei listened quietly. Su Muqiu interrupted from time to time, although no one could hear it except Li Wen.

"Come to think of it, you all look familiar to me, don't you?" The driver glanced at Li Wen, who was looking at the scenery outside the car window, from the rearview mirror: "Especially this little brother, he looks very familiar!"

"Maybe it's because I have a common face?" Li Wen smiled embarrassedly.

"You call this a common face, young man? Are you a newcomer in some training camp? No, I have definitely seen you before..." The master muttered and didn't bother to chat with Lao Wei and Bai Shu. He kept muttering where he had seen Li Wen before, but he didn't remember it until he got off the bus.

Tomorrow is the match between Team Xingxin and Team Tyranny. Quite a few people arrived early today, and the hotel near the venue was overcrowded. The car was stuck on the road almost to the hotel, so a few people simply paid the fare and got off the car directly.

The driver took the initiative to round off the fare, and then he was still stuck there, but his brows were furrowed. “Where have I seen you before? You look so familiar… Which young hunk? No, no, who is it… Hmm?”

The driver saw a bus passing slowly on the avenue. There was a Glory advertisement on the bus, and the young man in the advertisement was the one who had just got off the bus and was sitting in the back seat.

[Li Wen]!

“???” The master was stunned and quickly rolled down the window, sticking his head out to look at the people who had just left, but those people had disappeared in the sea of ​​cars and people, without a trace.

That was Li Wen?! Damn, that’s right, I was wondering where I’d seen him before. It was a poster my daughter bought and pasted in her room!
My daughter has grown up and never lets me into her room. I still took a few glances at her occasionally, but I didn’t have a very deep impression of her!

The driver patted the steering wheel. If he wanted an autograph, his little cutie would hug him and kiss him hard! Since the little cutie grew up, he rarely kissed him!
……

Eh?
The driver was stunned for a moment. He saw a card in the rearview mirror, turned his head to look at it, and took it. It seemed to be the image of a game character, with "Know the White and Guard the Black" written on it, and next to it was a photo of Li Wen.

[Thank you for your likes and support! --Li Wen]

The group met at the hotel entrance and headed towards the elevator.

"Hahahahaha, so that big brother didn't recognize him at all, right?" Fang Rui laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He almost laughed the whole way. He had actually encountered this situation a few times, but when it came to Xiao Wen, it always felt a little funny.

Li Wen scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait wait wait wait... Damn, it's up." Old Wei, who had just gotten the room card and was about to get on the elevator, cursed as he looked at the elevator that had already gone up. Fortunately, another elevator went up, otherwise, with Old Wei's temper, he would probably have muttered something.

The elevators on both sides stopped and started, and when the doors opened, they arrived at the seventh floor at the same time.

then……

"Is Ye not ashamed?"

"Old Wei? Xiao Wen? Old Zhang... forget it, there are too many people here. Why are you here?" Ye Xiu turned his head blankly and looked at the people next to him.

"Fuck, what are you doing? Stop blocking the door!" Someone behind them said something impatiently. The members of Team Embers turned their heads and saw that it was Big Sister Chu who was pulling Su Mucheng and impatiently pushing Ye Xiu aside.

Behind them were the other members of Team Xingxin, except that their boss Chen Guo was not there this time.

"I came here early to watch your game, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance." Li Wen said with a smile.

Su Mucheng had already run over to look Li Wen up and down, pinching his face and rubbing his head, while Su Muqiu was standing by, asking about his well-being.

"It's been a long time since we last met." Qin Tianran said with a smile.

"We just arrived too. We originally planned to come tomorrow morning and rest in the afternoon, but we were afraid of not being able to buy tickets and traffic jams, so we came a day early." Guo Mingyu and Lu Liang were arm in arm.

"After all, there are two competitions in S City in the next week, and the college entrance examination is over, so there are naturally many people who have time to play." Su Mucheng said with a smile: "Do you miss your sister?"

Li Wen rubbed his numb cheek helplessly: "If Sister Mu Cheng didn't pinch my face, I might miss it more..."

"whee."

After all, they were in the corridor, so after the two teams had a brief chat, they went to their respective rooms to put their things away, and then ran to Ye Xiu to chat.

Ye Xiu and Lao Wei stayed there for a while, but couldn't stand it any longer, so they pulled Chu Yunxiu outside to smoke.

Li Wen thought about it and followed him out.

The three old smokers outside the door had already started to puff away. "Old Ye and Old Chu, have you reached some consensus? Why are you all here together today?"

"Get lost. I went to H City to watch the last game, and then Old Ye Mucheng asked me to come and watch the game. I thought that you guys would play against Samsara in the next game, so I came here on the way." Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"Alright, stop testing the waters here. Our place isn't really suitable for Yunxiu. According to the current situation, your Yujin is indeed the most suitable for Lao Chu." Ye Xiu said with a cigarette in his mouth, smiling, "She and your boss are related anyway, so by then it will basically be confirmed privately, right?"

"That's great!" Old Wei's eyes lit up.

"Stop, stop. I haven't decided yet." Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes. "Wait until the next game is over. I think it's appropriate for me to go to Samsara."

"It seems that there is a new reason to beat up Samsara next time!" Old Wei bared his teeth and narrowed his eyes.

"By the way, Xiao Wen, have you made any plans for your match with Samsara?" Ye Xiu smiled and turned to look at Li Wen who was opening the window.

Li Wen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hide anything: "I've made some preparations."

"That's good... I also watched your last away game against Blue Rain. You did a great job." Ye Xiu nodded. "We should actually be thankful. If you had used this tactic in the finals, I would have probably fallen flat on my face."

"There's no other way. If we don't use it, we will most likely be dragged into overtime by Captain Yu and Mr. Huang. In that state, we will almost never get the chance to pull out this trump card." Li Wen smiled frankly.

"What are your plans for the next round against Samsara? It's a little bit difficult, right?" Chu Yunxiu asked curiously, "Strong attack? Or what's your plan?"

"For now, the plan is to fight hard in the first match, and then use a dirty trick to see if we can achieve a surprise victory." Li Wen stated his plan vaguely.

But for Ye Xiu, who is a shrewd man, he can guess Li Wen’s plan with just the word “hard fight”: “Sun Zheping will hold off Sun Xiang, you and Zhou Zekai will fight, Fang Rui will steal the priest, and Bai Shu will hold Jiang Botao? If you have this kind of plan... it’s good as long as you have the confidence to win the fight.”

"Actually, I don't have much confidence, but this is the only way we can prepare for now." Li Wen scratched his head.

"What good ideas do you have? Tell us about it." Old Wei glanced at Ye Xiu and lit up his second cigarette: "Can this be considered as a friendly gift for our deal?"

"It's been such a long time, and you're still thinking about it." Ye Xiu smiled helplessly, and lit the second one as well. He lowered his eyes and began to think: "Have you ever considered... forced defensive counterattacks, with Bai Shu as the core, and flexible offense, and then focusing fire on whoever Bai Shu pulls to, and ignoring the others for now.

Then, Xiao Wen used... Qiu Musu to entangle Yi Qian Chuan Yun, just need to entangle him. "

"Why don't you just say wait for Bai Shu to pull Sun Xiang and then kill him directly?" Old Wei rolled his eyes.

Li Wen tilted his head and began to think about the pros and cons of this idea.

The advantage is that this can reduce excessive consumption.

But the drawback is that Su Muqiu will be under a lot more pressure.

"It's not much different from last season. One person's consumption will make up for the whole team's condition, and then in the next round, the others will lower their fatigue values ​​so that you can recover. Anyway, it will definitely be a sneaky flow, so your rotation status can be maintained at its best." Ye Xiu said: "Of course, you have to make sure you don't get dragged into overtime."

"How about group shadow combat?" Li Wen's eyes lit up and he suddenly spoke.

Ye Xiu, Chu Yunxiu, and Old Wei were all stunned.

if it is like this……

“Let’s go find a place and practice with us.” Ye Xiu put out his cigarette and said, “Let’s just treat it as a friendly match.”
