Chapter 441 - Flood (1/2)

Ye Xiu’s words gave Loulan Slash some ideas about building a team. Developing one’s own style would take awhile, so his current priority was still advertising and gaining popularity.

Ye Xiu didn’t know if Loulan Slash did this himself or if he knew someone who specialized at advertising. In any case, he had done an exceptional job. His team was gaining popularity from all kinds of information being spread, whether they were true or false. No matter who had done the job, that person had proven himself to be a master at advertising online.

The Clubs became aware of this very quickly.

After making a big entrance that grabbed everyone’s attention, the team was steadily gaining popularity. This team, which was not even in the Alliance yet, already had more attention from the players than some of the lower tier teams.

This team definitely wasn’t inexperienced. Once they came to such a conclusion, they immediately began to be looked down on: with Ye Qiu’s help, even the most inexperienced team would be experienced.

Ye Qiu! He was the source of all their problems. Even back when he was in the Alliance, he was the one of the biggest headaches for every team and every Club.

And he was still giving them trouble despite not being in the Alliance anymore.

The Clubs’ information webs were not as powerful as they believed. Due to this lack of information and that perfect advertising, the Clubs all believed that their sudden rise to fame was because of Ye Qiu. After all, Ye Qiu was extremely familiar with how the Alliance worked. The Clubs were all guessing Ye Qiu’s position in the team. Was he the manager? Or the director?

For less developed Clubs, there were no such positions. This was especially true during the early stages of the Alliance. Besides the owner, the only person who would have any real decision-making power was the team captain. As the Alliance grew, organizations continuously developed and gradually, other positions began having executive powers such as the manager and the director. At this point, the team captain would still have some influence, but he or she would not be the one making final decisions anymore. The team captain’s responsibilities was reduced to the team alone.

With Ye Qiu’s knowledge and experience, Ye Qiu could fill in for any of these positions and would be a very terrifying opponent. In fact, the Clubs felt that Ye Qiu being in one of these positions would be even more difficult to deal with than him competing directly in the matches.

What trick hadn’t Ye Qiu seen in the pro scene? What strategies would work on him? He had been there since the creation of the Alliance. Facing such a formidable opponent, everyone immediately felt like they had a headache.

Loulan Slash maintained the steady growth in popularity and the Clubs were unable to come up with a solution. It was the same in the game. They could do nothing but watch as Lord Grim reached Level 52.

Ye Xiu was still leveling up his character!

To the Clubs, this was a clear signal. This G.o.d wasn’t satisfied with scheming behind the scenes. He wanted to step onto the stage with his Lord Grim.

He was already in the declining years for a pro player. Where did he get all of that motivation and willpower from?

Lord Grim’s ident.i.ty was no secret to the Clubs. Consequently, it wasn’t a secret to the pro players of these Clubs either. Lord Grim was a huge topic among them, especially in places where pro players gathered together.

“What does he want!!!” A pro player yelled in one group chat, opening a new topic.

“Drag him out and ask!”

“Is he still in this chat?”

“Ah! Here he is!” Someone sent a screenshot to prove Ye Xiu was still in the group chat.

“What is he doing? Pretending to be dead?”

“Ye Qiu! Come out come out come out come out come out come out!” Who else but Huang Shaotian would type out so many repeating words.

“Wors.h.i.+ping G.o.d…” A few lower leveled pro players greeted Huang Shaotian.

“Who can see if he’s invisible?” The conversion had sped up the moment Huang Shaotian showed up.

“Sister Su definitely has it!”

“She’s not online!” Huang Shaotian started to run the operation of dragging Ye Xiu out.

“Who can see if Sister Su is invisible?”

“Yunxiu definitely can.”

“Yunxiu is online!” Someone shouted out happily.

“Who said my name!” Chu Yunxiu clearly set her name as a keyword, so she was successfully summoned the moment someone mentioned her.

“Is Su Mucheng online?” Huang Shaotian asked.

“Nope.” Chu Yunxiu replied.

“Don’t lie to us! Actually, we’re not looking for her. We just wanted to know how our friend Ye Qiu is doing nowadays.” Huang Shaotian said.

“Why not try mentioning Ye Qiu?” Chu Yunxiu suggested.

[email protected]/* */ Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu @Ye Qiu….”

“See? Nothing happened.” Huang Xiaotian answered.

“Try a different keyword.”

[email protected]/* */ Autumn Leaf @One Autumn Leaf @One Autumn Leaf @One Autumn Leaf @One Autumn Leaf @One Autumn Leaf @One Autumn Leaf ……”

“Should you still use ‘One Autumn Leaf’?” Chu Yunxiu wondered.

The conversation quieted down a bit. Parting from one’s own character was always a sad and painful thing. Ye Qiu was no longer One Autumn Leaf. Everyone grieved for him when the topic was brought up.

“Who called me?” In the end, it was Sun Xiang who showed up.

“……” Everyone was speechless. As of this moment, the only ones sending messages were the G.o.d level pro players. The other pros had all taken their seats and grabbed their popcorn as they watched the show unfold.

“I didn’t call for you. I’m looking for Ye Qiu!” Huang Shaotian quickly answered the question.

“Ye Qiu? He’s still in the group even though he’s retired?” Su Xiang was curious.

“Careful.” Huang Shaotian warned, “The admin might kick you out.”

“I’ve never seen the admin come on!” Su Xiang retorted.

“Of course, the admin is also retired. Just like you said, he shouldn’t be here.” Huang Shaotian explained.

“Try [email protected]/* */ Grim’.” Chu Yunxiu pulled everyone back to the original topic.

“Hey! Who called me?” Ye Xiu immediately popped up.

“F*ck me. You were pretending to be dead! Shameless!” Huang Shaotian followed.

“Hi everyone. Long time no see.” Ye Xiu greeted everyone.

Immediately, a huge wall of messages popped up, giving their respects to the G.o.d.
