Chapter 425 - A Difficult Start (1/2)
Excellent Era’s three players could truly be said to have come in high spirits and returned disappointed. They had originally thought that it would be an absolutely safe and easy battle, but the sudden appearance of another character made them return empty-handed.
The information they received gave them no way of deducing how skilled Chasing Haze really was. For pro players, an opponent they didn’t understand was a very scary thing, especially if the opponent was also at a pro level. They couldn’t be careless. Even though they didn’t care if the characters they were borrowing died a billion times, the problem was, dying again and again with no results would hurt their pride. Unless it was their only option left, they preferred not to shamefully die in order to figure out how skilled their mysterious opponent was.
“I think…….” w.a.n.g Ze, who had been too afraid to say anything, saw that the two had completely stopped talking, so he started up the conversation again: “That Chasing Haze might not be that skilled.”
“Oh?” Liu Hao and He Ming both looked at w.a.n.g Ze.
“If she really was as good as Su Mucheng, they wouldn’t have needed to run away in the beginning. If they directly contended against us, we might not have the advantage, no?” w.a.n.g Ze said.
After Liu Hao heard this, he nodded his head: “You’re right. From what you said, it wasn’t our mistake in thinking that she wasn’t Su Mucheng. But the thing is…… it’s still hard to say how skilled she is. If she didn’t dare to directly confront us, then it means that she’s not as good as Su Mucheng. However, Su Mucheng needs Ye Qiu next to her in order to perform at her greatest potential. Her ability to deal with close-ranged situations isn’t bad, but it’s still one of her weak areas. After all, it’s not the style she’s used to using.”
w.a.n.g Ze stared dumbly. On the other side, He Ming followed: “So you’re saying that if you compare this Chasing Haze with Su Mucheng, Chasing Haze definitely has a good synergy with Ye Qiu, but it’s still hard to say how good she is as an individual?”
“Right.” Liu Hao nodded his head.
“But how are we supposed to figure out her skill and have the guild deal with it?” He Ming said.
“We’re being too impatient. The fact that Lord Grim is Ye Qiu is something everyone in the pro scene knows right now. Everyone also knows he’s planning on creating his own team to make his come back to the Pro Alliance. I highly doubt the only ones who are worried about this issue is our Excellent Era. Are the other guilds really just going to sit still and do nothing? I’ll go ask Chen Yehui to switch our accounts with three new ones and look for opportunities. For now, we won’t attack and just observe them.” Liu Hao said.
“If that’s the case, it’d be better if we had more alternate characters to switch to at any time. That way, it won’t be as suspicious.” He Ming suggested.
“As for Su Mucheng, pay attention to her from time to time. In the tenth server, she created a low-leveled account to help Ye Qiu. Who knows what she’ll in the Heavenly Domain.” Liu Hao said.
“Should we use our team’s rules to restrict her?” He Ming made another suggestion.
‘It won’t work. Those rules were always seen with one eye open and the other eye closed. Unless she becomes completely hostile to us, those rules are useless. As for Su Mucheng, I doubt that the Club is willing to cause trouble with her. We can’t offend her!” Liu Hao ground his teeth.
Su Mucheng didn’t have any background support her, but she treated everyone warmly and had good relations with everyone in the Club from top to bottom. After Ye Qiu’s retirement, her relations.h.i.+p with the Club had turned a bit stiff, but she was still a pro player and showed the att.i.tude a pro should have. Whether it be the matches or the Club’s activities, she would still do her best. This wasn’t the reason for her protective umbrella though. Su Mucheng’s protective umbrella was her commercial value.
All of the financial benefits that came out of her such as being a spokesman for their advertis.e.m.e.nts or being the poster model for their team attire and products were all a large reason for the Club’s wealth. In this area, the three of them combined couldn’t compare to Su Mucheng. The Pro Alliance was being commercialized more and more these days and Su Mucheng was a walking money tree. Unless there was no other choice, what Club would give her up?
Ye Qiu having no commercial was his fatal wound.
“Just take note of Su Mucheng and that’ll be good. First, we need to figure out what exactly is up with Chasing Haze. The guild Ye Qiu created in the tenth server is called Happy. You guys should know that Happy is the name of that Internet Cafe next to our Club. Ye Qiu is currently over there as well. For the guild to be name Happy means that he has a very deep relations.h.i.+p with the Internet Cafe’s people. This Chasing Haze might be one of the Internet Cafe’s people. I’ll get Chen Yehui to send someone over to take a look.” Liu Hao said to the two of them, while thinking about the next steps to take. After pondering for awhile, he felt like he had been a bit too impatient. Right after knowing that Lord Grim had entered the Heavenly Domain, they immediately went to try and kill him. It had been too reckless. How could pro players charge in without knowing the situation?
“Among the three of them, the Elementalist has went offline.” In the game, Ye Xiu and Chen Guo had left their original leveling areas. Chen Guo searched for the three characters’ names and quickly found out that the Elementalist had logged off.
