The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

So An Ning looked at Yu Zeping next to Xiao Jie again.

Then I saw there was another person behind Yu Zeping.

Compared with Xiao Jie and Yu Zeping, this man looks much younger.

And compared to Xiao Jie and Yu Zeping, this person seemed to be wearing the uniform of the Zhu Xian team.

And being able to show up with the manager and boss on this occasion...there is no doubt that this person is either a core player of the Zhu Xian team, or the current captain of the Zhu Xian team, or possibly both.

But the expression on this person's face at this moment was as dead as ashes.

Seeing this, An Ning understood that this person should be Lin Yi, the current captain of the Zhu Xian team.

I heard that after the Xingxin team defeated Zhu Xian, Zhu Xian was about to fall apart, but for some reason, Lin Yi actually returned to the Zhu Xian team.

I guess Xiao Jie called this person back because he was afraid that he would not be able to win the support of the crowd.

But after a year passed, Xiao Jie also had the Zhu Xian team firmly in his own hands. That's why he took the initiative to invite An Ning to join the Zhu Xian team in front of the current captain of the Zhu Xian team.

"I'm sorry. Thank you, Boss Xiao, for your kindness, but I have no intention of leaving the Zhu Xian team now."

An Ning said to Xiao Jie.

"Well, that's really a pity."

Xiao Jie said with some regret, and then glanced at Lin Yi behind him.

At this time, An Ning also understood the other party's thoughts.

Indeed, it would be great if An Ning really accepted Xiao Jie's invitation to join the Zhu Xian team.

But judging from the current situation, Xiao Jie is doing this just to suppress the captain of his own team.

If the Zhu Xian team really defeats Qing Cai and Wu Ji to enter the league, then the captain's position probably cannot be given to Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi is at most an ordinary player in a mid-to-lower-level team in the league. A boss like Xiao Jie, who knows a little but not completely, would definitely think that a capable player should be the captain.

Therefore, saying these words now is also a warning to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was kept before to make it easier for Xiao Jie to control the Zhu Xian team, but now, Lin Yi is no longer useful.

If Lin Yi chooses to give up the captain position and become an ordinary player, Xiao Jie might allow him to play in Zhu Xian until retirement in consideration of his contribution to the Zhu Xian team.

But if Lin Yi gets angry or shows resentment today...

It is estimated that what awaits Lin Yi is a contract to terminate the contract.

An Ning also understood everything.

"Another team that loves to intrigue..."

An Ning was speechless.

The other party's desire to poach talent is secondary; the real purpose is to criticize their own captain.

An Ning even felt that the captain named Lin Yi was a bit pitiful.

He clearly stayed in the team when Zhu Xian was not upgraded, but was sidelined by his own boss and the other players.

"Lei Ting has prepared a rest room for you all. I'll have the staff take you there in a bit."

An Ning also spoke to a few people.

"Thank you, Vice Captain An."

Xiao Jie also said to An Ning with a smile.

After Zhu Xian and his group left, An Ning also met the Wuji team who arrived shortly afterwards.

The boss of the Wuji team did not come. I heard that he was discussing sponsorship matters with several companies and will not come until the competition officially starts.

Therefore, the only people present today were Wu Chen, the captain of the Wuji team, and some relatively unfamiliar players of the Wuji team.

"It's been such a long time."

Wu Chen said to An Ning.

When the Wuji team was in the league, An Ning had dealt with them many times. Even after being relegated, they still maintained occasional communication with each other.

Just meeting privately like this, it has indeed been a year.

"It seems that the new players on loan have integrated perfectly into the Wuji team."

An Ning looked at the young players playing behind Wu Chen and spoke.

"Well, when the incident happened in the middle of the season, I thought Wuji was going to be finished again."

Speaking of this, Wu Chen also felt a little scared.

Originally, after being defeated by the Xingxin team in the challenge match, the Zhu Xian team had already disbanded once, but they chose not to delist immediately. The players of the team were discouraged and either chose to leave or join other teams.

After the Wuji team got a new sponsor, the Wuji team could no longer find these players. After all, some of them had found other jobs, and some had joined other teams.

Fortunately, Wu Chen had been in the league and challenge tournaments for many years and had quite good relationships with people. He brought in a group of free players and successfully prepared the Wuji team for the secondary league.

Afterwards, Wuji’s boss used his connections to bring new players from several teams in the alliance to the Wuji team. The complementary nature of the new and the old allowed the Wuji team to take the second place for a time.

But in the middle of the season... these old hands caused some trouble.

Because most of these players signed free contracts with the Wuji Team, which means that the two parties only have a salary contract, and they can accept invitations from other teams to become players of other teams at any time.

Of course, as long as the conditions are good, they are still willing to stay in the team.

The two substitute players Zhou Chi and Lin Ran that An Ning had previously brought from the Thunder had such contracts.

On the one hand, this makes it easier for the players to find jobs, and on the other hand, the team doesn't have to pay any penalties if they fire them.

It can be said that it is a double-edged sword.

These old hands, without telling Wu Chen and Boss Wuji, chose to join the Zhu Xian team.

This is a real business war.

The Wuji team is a team that can really threaten the Zhuxian team.

As long as they can make a mess of the opponent, it will naturally mean that the Zhu Xian team can compete for the opportunity to be promoted to the league.

But fortunately, Wuji’s boss brought in several new players, which saved the Wuji team from having to face the situation of re-adjusting during the mid-season transfer period.

However, although the newcomers had great hand speed, they were still lacking in experience, so the Wuji team fell all the way to sixth place.

But the Wuji team quickly adjusted and climbed up again.

"Is this Yu Hongliang?"

Seeing that Wu Chen was reluctant to talk about these things, An Ning changed the subject and looked at the person behind Wu Chen.

An Ning felt somewhat familiar with this person and then he suddenly remembered him.

Isn’t this Yu Hongliang, the former captain of the Wuji team?

When An Ning heard that the Wuji team was relegated, he wanted to pull this guy to the Thunder team.

But Yu Hongliang chose to refuse, and then news of Yu Hongliang's retirement came out.

An Ning felt very sorry at the time. After all, Yu Hongliang was at least a mid-level player. As a magic swordsman, he could also provide the team with diverse options.

"Well, long time no see."

Yu Hongliang also stretched out his hand and shook hands with An Ning.

"As expected, you still can't bear to leave the professional arena, right?"

An Ning said.

"I have no choice. Wuji is in crisis. I have no choice but to come back."

Although Yu Hongliang said this, the expression on his face clearly did not reflect that.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a tsundere?"

An Ning joked.

"Haha."

Yu Hongliang smiled indifferently.

After leaving the Wuji team, Yu Hongliang worked in many professions.

He is not a top player, so his income can only ensure that he has enough food and clothing for a few years.

But after switching back and forth for several years, he couldn't hold on any longer.

It just so happened that during this season, I heard that the Wuji team was short of manpower due to a crisis, so...

It was an ordinary day in that winter.

Yu Hongliang carried his luggage and came to the Wuji team.

At that time, Wu Chen was adjusting the Wuji team logo with the Wuji boss. "I'm back."

Yu Hongliang's words at that time were still echoing in Wu Chen's ears.

"By the way, there's an old friend of yours over here, do you want to go over and take a look?"

An Ning looked at Wu Chen and Yu Hongliang and said.

Yu Hongliang is a magic swordsman player, so what he inherited now is naturally the account card that has been deprived of its membership, and the owner of this account card...

"Old friend? Who is it?"

Wu Chen was also stunned for a moment.

"Just follow me."

An Ning said to several people.

……

Inside the training room of the Thunder Team reserve team.

A man wearing glasses sat on a chair, looking at the teenagers in front of him with a serious expression.

These players are all young players of the Thunder Team.

but……

"I've told you many times that you need to cooperate. You guys are weak, your skills are terrible, and you don't even have team spirit. You're just playing a stupid profession. Can't you learn from your captain?"

"Even if he is your captain, his skills are beyond your reach!"

He An scolded these young players.

These guys are so infuriating.

Originally, He An just wanted to make some extra money, but he didn't expect the price offered by Thunder to be quite high. So, even though it was only half a year, He An still wanted to achieve some results.

After experiencing great ups and downs, He An's temperament has changed a lot.

Therefore, He An now does not want to disappoint the Thunder Team who believe in him.

"You guys, go back to training, alas."

He An sighed helplessly and asked a few people to go back to training.

At this time, the door of the training room was pushed open.

He An, who was already angry, was originally prepared to give the visitor the cold shoulder.

But when he saw it was An Ning, he stood up helplessly.

After all, this person was the one who pulled him out of the situation of playing games on the street, so He An naturally couldn't give him the cold shoulder.

"whats up with you today……"

Originally, He An was planning to ask An Ning how she had time to come over today.

But when he saw the person behind him, his expression turned cold.

Because that person was Wu Chen.

"what……"

Wu Chen was about to speak when he was interrupted by He An.

"Don't talk about it here, talk about it outside."

He An said to Wu Chen and An Ning.

After they came to a place far away from the training room, Wu Chen took the initiative to find He An.

"I called you so many times, why didn't you answer?"

Although Wu Chen felt a little uncomfortable with He An's arrogant look, he was from the Wuji team after all. If possible, he should at least leave a contact number.

"Well..."

He An couldn't say that he was too embarrassed to go back because he wanted to save face.

"Now, are you planning to be a youth training coach here?"

Wu Chen looked at his surroundings.

To be honest, if you really reach an age where you can no longer play, being a coach here is actually a pretty good job.

"No, he will only be here for half a year. When the transfer period starts, I will put him on the free transfer market in the name of the Thunder team."

Before He An opened his mouth, An Ning spoke first.

An Ning could tell that the other party must still be interested in He An, so she made the situation clear directly.

"This way, otherwise, Lao He!"

As he spoke, Wu Chen also grabbed He An's shoulders.

"Let's go back to Wuji."

Wu Chen said to He An.

"Forehead……"

Only then did He An notice Yu Hongliang who was standing silently behind the others.

"You guys have brought Captain Yu back, why do you still need me?"

He An smiled bitterly.

"Hey, you guys chat about your own things, don't bring me along, okay? I just came back to help. I'm already this age, and I just came back to experience the game again."

Yu Hongliang said to several people.

"So, come back!"

Wu Chen said to He An.

Seeing these people like this, An Ning also walked into the training room silently.

Next, it’s not a good idea for An Ning to stay.

After all, they have some private matters to discuss.

So, one day before the relegation match started, an inconspicuous piece of news appeared in the corner of E-Sports Home.

That is He An, the youth training coach who has worked for the Thunder Team for half a year, who announced that he will return to the Wuji Team in the new season.

If it weren't for the Thunder team being involved in this news, it probably wouldn't have made a splash.

……

The qualifiers for the eleventh season of the professional league will also be decided by Wuji, Zhu Xian, and the Qingcai team in the relegation zone.

Before the game, the official side also had a preliminary vote on the probability of these three teams advancing to the league.

And the result is.

Wuji Team 21.7%
Zhu Xian Team 44.3%
For the relegated light-cut teams, it was 34 percent.

"It seems that everyone thinks that the Zhu Xian team can advance."

Pan Lin said as he looked at the results.

During the Honor of Kings special event before the game, several invited players and commentators also talked about this.

"After all, the Zhu Xian team is ranked second in the secondary league."

Li Yibo on the other side also spoke.

"I wonder what you think about the result of this relegation match."

Pan Lin also passed the topic to several contestants present.

"Hmm... I really want to say something, but I don't know much about these teams, so I think Team Qingcai will win!"

Huang Shaotian said so.

“Well, everyone is working hard.”

This is Zhou Zekai.

"Without a doubt, it's Zhu Xian, because the name is very cool."

This is Dai Yanqi who is beside An Ning.

"Um...your predictions are really diverse..."

Pan Lin was also helpless. (End of this chapter)
