The King's Avatar Chapter 1083-1084Chapter 1083: Excellent Era Hasn’t Fallen

Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi

The series of transfers at the beginning of July were practically all related to Excellent Era. Now, everyone was thoroughly convinced that the rumors of Excellent Era being put on the market weren’t baseless. Even One Autumn Leaf had been renounced, shredding the last sliver of hope for the Excellent Era fans. No matter how much they protested, it would not be able to change Excellent Era’s decision.

Who can save Excellent Era?

Questions like this appeared in every corner of the Glory scene. Countless Excellent Era fans were signing a petition, but where were there hopes supposed to be sent to? Every Excellent Era was at a loss. They could only wait there foolishly.

Then, all they saw were players leaving and characters being sold.

Su Mucheng, Sun Xiang, Xiao Shiqin, Zhang Xinjie…….

Dancing Rain, One Autumn Leaf, Life Extinguisher…

After that, Club Excellent Era’s training center constantly had people conducting on-site inspections. For Excellent Era, this was their training center, but buildings didn’t have life. With just a bit of renovation, this place could become an office, a shopping center, anything people needed.

This portion of the sale seemed to be unrelated to Glory. The team emblem on the club’s main entrance had been removed.

Everything related to Glory was being erased. The only thing that had yet to change was Excellent Era’s stadium. There were rather limited applications for this type of building. There wasn’t much of a market for it, but with Excellent Era gone, the existence of this stadium was meaningless. Perhaps this stadium might turn into a place for sporting events, but the people would no longer be seeing their familiar team and their team’s matches.

What would Excellent Era’s future be like? A better question might be: did Excellent Era still have a future? No one knew the answer, but what they did know was that things related to Excellent Era were disappearing bit by bit. Their players and characters were being transferred to other teams. Excellent Era’s facilities were being renovated. In the game, Guild Excellent Dynasty members discovered that the resources in their guild storage were decreasing day by day. These were all the various materials that Guild Excellent Dynasty had accumulated after many years of work. It was the symbol of Excellent Era’s prosperity. And now, these materials were disappearing to who knew where.

The sale of these materials wouldn’t be reported in too much detail. From these series of changes going on in Excellent Era, the media had determined that the end of Excellent Era was set in stone.

At this point, Excellent Era’s former opponents, even Tyranny’s fans, were finally unable to continue mocking them. They wanted to see Excellent Era being beaten by them again and again and hoped to see Excellent Era tumble over and over, but they had never wished for Excellent Era to completely die.

Without Excellent Era, there would be a lot less brilliance.

A sigh of sorrow from a Tyranny fan voiced out the thoughts and feelings of many. But so what? Regret, grievance, sorrow, these emotions wouldn’t be able to solve any problems.

At Happy, their second floor renovation was completed and now being used.

The entire second floor had been divided into five sections: the practice room, strategy meeting room, research and development, Guild Happy, and the lobby.It was small, but complete 1 . All of the core departments necessary in a pro team fit into this small second floor. Of course, if they expanded, they would also need departments such as human resources, financial affairs, external affairs, and so on. But for the current stage that Happy was at, Boss Chen alone would need to burden herself with these matters.

“What do you all think? Pretty nice, no?” Chen Guo excitedly led everyone around to take a look.

“It totally feels like a secret base! It’s like Robotech! Come on, don’t deny it!” Steamed Bun said.

Everyone laughed.

“Research and development.” Guan Rongfei stood outside the R&D room and read the plate on the door. He grabbed the door handle and opened the door.

“Right, this is where you…”

Bang!

Chen Guo introduced the room, while getting ready to let everyone take a look at their R&D department, but Guan Rongfei had already slammed the door closed, cutting off Chen Guo.

Chen Guo was stunned. Fortunately, she had been in touch with Guan Rongfei for awhile, so she had some understanding of him. After this guy got the data for the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, that was the only thing on his mind. Ye Xiu once asked if he could help him compile a practice routine, but this guy was unwilling to do it. It took a lot of effort to get him to agree.

Once he started working, the materials that Happy had accumulated disappeared swiftly. Chen Guo wanted to die. Ye Xiu immediately reminded that guy: this isn’t Excellent Era. You can’t squander these materials. Please try to be conservative and put more time into solidifying your theories. Don’t just immediately start experimenting as soon as a tiny sliver of an idea appears in your mind. After that, his consumption of materials stabilized, but the materials were still disappearing at a heartbreaking rate. This let her understand that to raise a capable research developer, money was secondary. Whether or not you could provide enough resources for that developer was the main issue.

The department under the most pressure was Wu Chen’s guild department. These past few days had been sleepless nights. Taking advantage of the enormous amounts of attention towards Happy recently, he was pulling in players to join the guild like crazy, rapidly strengthening the guild. With more guild members, there were more small matters to deal with. Wu Chen didn’t have a helper right now, so he had to do everything himself. Chen Guo saw him working and felt bad. A professional team’s guild definitely shouldn’t managed by a single person, so she talked with Wu Chen and started picking helpers from the guild. Chen Guo also allocated 2 million for Wu Chen to use. Those managing the guild wouldn’t be doing it just for love. They needed a contractual obligation to do it too.

Seeing Guan Rongfei shut himself in the R&D room, Wu Chen felt like he couldn’t be slow either. He stepped in front of the door marked “Guild Happy” and asked: “I’m here, right?”

“Yeah…” As soon as Chen Guo affirmed it, Wu Chen went inside. Chen Guo stood in the middle of the hallway, stunned. Everyone else was stunned too. But not long afterwards, those two came back.

“No Internet?”

“Yeah, people will be coming in the afternoon to hook up the wifi. Let’s go along a different route.” Chen Guo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Guang Rongfei and Wu Chen were helpless. They could only follow along with the team again.

“This area is our strategy room. Come come come. Let’s all go in and take a look.” Chen Guo led everyone into the strategy meeting room.

The meeting room had a rather large window. The room itself was bright and clear. Right when they walked in, they suddenly heard a crash.

“What happened?” Someone said in surprise. Following afterwards, everyone went to the window. The sound had come from outside.

When they got to the window, everyone was silent.

The noise had come from their neighbor across the street. Club Excellent Era’s wall had been pushed over. This wasn’t a riot. Excellent Era’s facilities had clearly been sold already. It was probably the new owner renovating this piece of land.

“Excellent Era… really has disbanded…” Chen Guo felt moved. Her Internet cafe had prospered thanks to Excellent Era. As the Internet cafe across street from Club Excellent Era, Excellent Era fans would naturally have an amicable feeling towards it and happily gathered here to play Glory.

But after establishing Team Happy and challenging Excellent Era, the two had become enemies. Happy’s business had been considerably impacted by that. In particular, many familiar faces stopped showing up at Happy. These people had almost been like friends to Chen Guo.

And now, Happy was still here, but Excellent Era was gone. Where did those familiar faces go?

When she finished thinking about all this, Excellent Era’s wall had turned into a mess. Before anyone could say anything, an employee from the Internet cafe suddenly called out: “Where’s the boss? Someone’s looking for her.”

“Who’s looking for me?” Chen Guo said as she walked out.

“He says his surname is Xia. He’s waiting downstairs.” The employee said.

“Surname Xia?” Chen Guo was surprised. She didn’t remember having any friends surnamed Xia.

“I’ll go down.” Chen Guo called out and then went downstairs with the employee. There were quite a few people standing outside Happy Internet Cafe, looking at the destroyed Excellent Era.

“He’s over there.” The employee pointed at a figure. Chen Guo went over and was once again stunned. Surname Xia. It was actually Xia Zhongtian.

“Xia… Hi, Mr. Xia.” Chen Guo greeted.

Xia Zhongtian turned his head and looked at Chen Guo. He nodded his head: “Hi.”

Chen Guo saw that there was a youth standing next to Xia Zhongtian….. Isn’t he Excellent Era’s Qiu Fei? Chen Guo had already realized something.

“Come in. Let’s go up and talk.” Chen Guo was certain that he wasn’t here just to say hello. He definitely had something to say. After telling them to go up, she told the employee: “Tell Ye Xiu to come over to the lobby.”

On the second floor, Ye Xiu was brought over by the employee. Right when he got to the lobby, he saw chen Guo sitting together with Xia Zhongtian and Qiu Fei. He was also surprised.

“Senior.” This time, Qiu Fei greeted first.

“Hi!” Ye Xiu waved his hand and the four went into the lobby together.

“I’ll be taking over Excellent Era.” Xiao Zhongtian clearly wasn’t someone who liked to mince his words. He immediately went straight to the point.

“Oh, that’s great!” Ye Xiu smiled.

“Congratulations.” Chen Guo also said. She pointed outside the window: “What are you planning to do there?”

“I’m only taking over Excellent Era. That stuff’s not included.” Xiao Zhongtian said.

“Ah?” Chen Guo didn’t understand.

“Taking over Excellent Era is a personal matter. With my personal financial resources, I don’t have the money to purchase Excellent Era’s facilities. I can only guarantee that the name Excellent Era won’t disappear.” Xia Zhongtian said.

“You’ve even got a player with a lot of potential!” Ye Xiu smiled at Qiu Fei.

“Qiu Fei almost went to Tiny Herb. Fortunately, I had already talked to Excellent Era and convinced him to stay.” Xia Zhongtian said.

“Amazing.” Ye Xiu said, “Both of you are amazing.”

“Praising us won’t do. We’ll definitely take revenge on Happy!” Xia Zhongtian said.

“Hm?”

“But this time, I’ll have to thank you for your suggestion last time, but Excellent Era won’t be owing Happy.” Xia Zhongtian said. He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over.

“This is something I’ve helped you win over. It’s a 1.4 million RMB sponsorship by Ch’ien Tea Green. The formalities have already been arranged. All you need to do is sign it.” Xia Zhongtian said.

“Arranged?” Ye xiu skimmed through it, “What if we don’t want it?”

Xiao Zhongtian’s eyes jumped. Chen Guo hastily grabbed it from him: “He’s just joking. We want it, we want it.” She quickly signed it.

“The contract is only for one year. Next year, whether it’s renewed or not will depend on you.” Xia Zhongtian said.

“Us? Don’t you mean you?” Ye Xiu smiled.

“Me? I’m no longer a part of Ch’ien Tea Green. I’m going to lead Excellent Era and beat your Happy!” Xia Zhongtian said.

“You’ll be playing on stage?” Ye Xiu asked.

Xiao Zhongtian’s eyes jumped again. Unfortunately, he couldn’t personally take revenge on Happy. He had been destroyed ten times by Ye Xiu in just five minutes.

“Senior, next time, let’s meet on stage.” Seeing that they were going to be leaving, Qiu Fei called out to Ye Xiu.

“I’ll see you onstage.” Ye Xiu smiled.

“I’ll be going.” Xia Zhongtian was already at the door.

“You’re going to be leaving already? As a newbie, don’t you want to learn from Happy’s newly renovated center?” Ye Xiu said.

Xiao Zhongtian glanced at the tiny second floor layout. After a long time, he squeezed out “Not bad” and then left.

Excellent Era hasn’t fallen.

Chapter 1084: Change

Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi

Someone was finally taking over for Excellent Era.

The news came out on the day that Xia Zhongtian and Qiu Fei came to visit. The fans of Excellent Era, who had fallen into despair, were all suddenly brought back to life. Especially after they heard who had taken over, they were even more excited. Which City H person didn’t know Ch’ien Green Tea’s influence?

But soon enough, in the press conference Excellent Era held, they found out the truth.

The decision to buy Excellent Era was completely a personal decision made by Xia Zhongtian. It had nothing to do with Ch’ien Green Tea. In addition, Ch’ien Green Tea Didn’t intend to sponsor Excellent Era because of their relationship with Xia Zhongtian. The ones that they were sponsoring was Team Happy, who had defeated Excellent Era and joined the Alliance.

What was going on? The excited Excellent Era fans didn’t have the calm to try and figure it out. It wasn’t as wonderful as they first thought, but Excellent Era still existed and there was nothing that was more of a delight than that. It was just a shame that One Autumn Leaf left them. They hoped that the symbol of Excellent Era would stay with them and fight beside them forever.

But it was all too late for that.

Qiu Fei, Combat Form.

For the press conference, this was the way that the fans saw Excellent Era’s future. The Excellent Era of the new season would continue to compete in the Challenger League. This time, they were no longer a powerhouse, no longer an insurmountable presence in the Challenger League. They would fight with their all against every team and keep winning until they eventually reached the end and returned to the alliance to rebuild the glory of Excellent Era.

Long live Excellent Era!

Tonight was the first time in a long time that Excellent Era fans had tasted happiness. Their hopes were not in vain. No matter how small hope was still hope.

Goodbye, powerhouse. New Excellent Era has begun its journey!

The news used headlines like this to report Excellent Era’s final transactions. By now, it seemed that all of what made up Excellent Era had been sold.

The old Club Excellent Era had been completely reconstructed and New Excellent Era had moved to the place 20 kilometres away next to Stone Road. Everything had become very simple and crude, but everything was still there

As for Happy, they had all settled into their new headquarters. Everyone had started doing what was done on holidays in their own rooms.

“Brother Ye, someone is looking for you.” That was when one of the employees of the Internet cafe came up to deliver this message. Since the upper floor was Happy’s headquarters now, they naturally wouldn’t let just anybody come up.

“Coming,” Ye Xiu replied, leaving his computer. After exiting the training room, he took the chance to light a cigarette and took a few quick puffs.

Smoking wasn’t allowed in the training room. That was a rule that Chen Guo had took from the other clubs. This made Ye Xiu and Wei Chen extremely uncomfortable. However, the veterans of the team should be role models for the others, so the two had to endure it. What made things even more painful was that there was no point in them being role models because they were the only ones who smoked in the team.

“Who’s looking for me?” Ye Xiu took a few steps towards the Internet cafe employee, and by then half his cigarette was already gone.

“He said his surname was Tao.” The Internet cafe employee said.

“Surname Tao?” Ye Xiu paused for a moment, looking down. It was Tao Xuan.

“Want to come up and chat?” Ye Xiu asked.

“That’s not necessary, I’m about to leave,” Tao Xuan replied.

Ye Xiu noticed the luggage beside him. It seemed like he was going somewhere far away.

“You…?”

“After being exhausted for so long, I plan to go and enjoy myself,” Tao Xuan said.

“Where?”

“Somewhere out of the country! All these years and I spent most of it locked up indoors. I want to go out of the country and experience what life has to offer,” Tao Xuan said.

“Oh? Are you going to check out foreign Glory leagues and their Glory teams?” Ye Xiu asked.

Tao Xuan paused for a long while before nodding. “Maybe!”

“I wish you success,” Ye Xiu said.

“And I you.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Cigarette burn out.

In the time it took to smoke half a cigarette, Tao Xuan had left. He had come all this way to visit, but left with just a few simple words.

Were they still friends? Ye Xiu didn’t know either.

He knew that everyone had their own path. These paths might converge, but they might also diverge. No matter what, you had to walk your own path. He would continue to walk down his. Tao Xuan would too, probably.

Ye Xiu threw the cigarette nub away, returning to the upper floor. He entered the training room and returned to his own seat.

“Who was it?” Su Mucheng’s current seat was beside his and she asked him nonchalantly.

“Tao Xuan,” Ye Xiu said.

“Tao Xuan, what did he come here for?”

“He said he’s going to visit some other countries,” Ye Xiu replied.

“Is it necessary? To hide so far?” Su Mucheng said.

“Is he hiding? Maybe!” Ye Xiu smiled, putting his headphones back on and going back to the game.

“Where did you all go?” Ye Xiu send the message into the guild chat, Guild Happy.

They were still playing in the online game.

Even though they had entered the Alliance and become a pro team, for a grassroots team like Happy, their pro players couldn’t leave the grunt work to others. They had to fight in the online game to deal with their lack of resources. All this was like how the Alliance was when it first started. The players of every team spent all of their free time in the game. They trained as they earned materials and equipment. Back then it was common to see all those famous IDs in the game.

But now, even if a player wanted to do this, it wouldn’t be the same. If the current pro players wanted to play in the online game, they had to use a smurf account. As for their pro accounts, most of them were parked in the Arena.

For Happy, We had to continue working hard in the game. In fact, they had to work even harder because their future opponents would all be at the level of the final boss, Excellent Era, in their last season. They couldn’t ensure that their skill would peak each match and they would achieve a miracle every single time. They had to improve, improve continuously. This was like a race. From the very beginning, they were never on the same starting line as their opponents.

Happy was working hard in the online game, but this time, it wasn’t just them who was working so hard.

“We prepared for this match for a full year.”

That was what Ye Xiu had answered in the first press conference he attended after he won the championship of the Challenger League. The memory was fresh in Xiao Shiqin’s mind.

Happy’s defeat of Excellent Era was known as a miracle.

However, miracles couldn’t lack hard work. Happy had worked hard and accomplished a miracle.

What had Excellent Era been doing in this year?

Excellent Era was also working hard, but all of the hard work was directed towards the Alliance. The only thing that they discussed was what they would do after returning to the Alliance.

They had neglected the Challenger League because they thought that this was something that couldn’t go wrong. Even Xiao Shiqin had thought the same way. If he didn’t think that way, then he would have never joined Excellent Era.

It wasn’t until Ye Xiu and Happy slowly surfaced, that Xiao Shiqin found that even though Excellent Era said that they didn’t think Happy was any sort of threat, in their hearts, they were actually terrified of Ye Xiu. It was then that Excellent Era started taking the Challenger League seriously, but this seriousness was only directed at Ye Xiu.

To win the finals, Excellent Era had also worked hard. However, compared to the full year that Happy had spent, Excellent Era hadn’t done nearly as much.

Opportunity always smiles on those who are prepared.

This was something that was always said, something that everyone said, but when everyone was prepared, who would opportunity smile upon? It was obviously those who were more prepared. Happy had been more prepared, so they were the ones that were given an opportunity, an opportunity that was called a miracle.

Most people would think that Xiao Shiqin had wasted a year, but Xiao Shiqin thought that he had been taught an important lesson in this year.

Now, he had returned to Thunderclap. He would never again be the person who wasn’t prepared enough. He had to be more prepared than anyone. From the very first day, he began to prepare with the entire team.

It had been a year since the big update, but things had yet to stabilize. As the competitions came to a close, the players of the pro teams wouldn’t invest so much into the online game. Now the start of the summer holidays, Xiao Shiqin felt that this was the perfect time to fortify his team. To defeat Excellent Era, a team like Happy could prepare for a year. If they, Thunderclap, wanted to do well in the Alliance, then they would have to start early.

Dumb birds fly first. Why had he never thought of that before?

“Captain Xiao, Team Three’s four members have arrived at their positions.” The voice coming from the game brought Xiao Shiqin back to the present.

“Oh, tell them to make sure to keep hidden. Chengtai, take a team to the right flank; Yanqi, you go with Chengtai.”

“Hey, you’ve only come back for a few days, captain, and you’re already chasing me away. I want to stay with captain.” Dai Yanqi sulked.

“Don’t joke around, hurry up and follow.” Xiao Shiqin started to sweat. He hadn’t seen her for a year and she had got an even bolder, daring to tease even him. She was Thunderclap’s Devil. Who knew what Thunderclap would be like if she ever became the captain?

However, Dai Yanqi was merely joking around. Her Elementalist had already begun following Chengtai’s team as she spoke.

“Captain Xiao, Captain Xiao!” That was when a character ran over, yelling for him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Another guild has arrived.” The newcomer said.

“Which one?”

“It’s Happy!”

Happy… Just hearing this name would cause Xiao Shiqin’s emotions to go haywire, but he soon composed himself. “How many people and how far are they?”

“About one team, they’ll be here in about 5 minutes,” the newcomer said.

That guy would definitely be in Happy’s formation. Compared to the Challenger League last season, the Pro League would be even harder. They would definitely start preparing earlier and spend a lot of time in the online game. This was something that he had taken out of their book.

He hadn’t thought that they would have the chance to fight again so soon.

“Everyone over here, come with me. Avoid Happy for now.” As Xiao Shiqin spoke, he led the team away from their original hiding spot.

“Traps! Don’t leave traps, go and dismantle them!” Xiao Shiqin acted as if he were leading a pro match, serious and careful.

Thunderclap’s players all felt that after their captain had left for a year and come back, he had changed.

In the past, his arrangements and tactics had given the feeling of doing all you could under heaven’s mandate. Now, it felt like he wanted to rebel against fate.

Thunderclap would definitely change because of this!
