Chapter 121 The dust has settled, and the league is warming up (Part )
Xu Boyuan inserted the account card and entered the game.

Lan Qiao Chunxue appears at the spawn point of the union headquarters.

This is the peak time for going online. If it was a year ago or even half a year ago, the guild would be crowded with people and the channels would be filled with messages.

But it is different now.

Xu Boyuan thought about it, logged into QQ, and sent a message to a group that had been silent for a long time:
Lan Qiao Chun Xue: "There is a wild map boss today, how many people can we get together?"

I waited patiently for almost twenty minutes, but received few responses.

Only the guy who used to dislike him spoke up.

Rao'an Chuiyang: "Let's go find other guilds and try to put together a 100-man dungeon."

I can't defeat the BOSS today. Xu Boyuan sighed.

He controlled Lan Qiao Chun Xue and walked blindly in the guild, looking at the familiar buildings and equipment.

Sometimes Xu Boyuan himself didn't know why he had to persist in such a hopeless game for so long.

After all, the days when he was one of the top five masters of Lanxi Pavilion and had the support of everyone were long gone.

The collapse of the league and the launch of League of Legends almost dealt a devastating blow to Honor's player ecosystem.

Players have long been fed up with the extremely polarized and terrible experience of Honor of Kings.

The middle and low-level members of the major guilds quit the game in large numbers, and some guilds even had to abandon branches in various regions and only retain the main guild in the God's Realm.

Even so, there is still often a shortage of people.

In this bleak situation, Blue Brook Guild is one of the worst-off guilds.

Compared to other guilds, although affected by the overall environment, they were still able to maintain their structure with the help of the club, but Blue Brook Guild was directly crushed in that storm.

When Blue Rain broke with the Glory Alliance, they managed to retain most of the management staff and youth training staff.

But as for the online gaming guild, they are really powerless.

After withdrawing from the Glory League, the online game guild lost its role to Blue Rain, and the investment was horrible, so it was simply unable to support it.

After Blue Rain left the stage, the members of Blue Brook Pavilion each tried to find a way out based on their own abilities.

Some joined other guilds, while others simply gave up Glory and quit.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The once bustling business soon became deserted.

Before Blue Rain withdrew, they had contacted Lanqiao Chunxue and other online game managers, expressing their willingness to continue to employ them as staff members of Blue Rain.

This can be regarded as a way out for these Blue Rain veterans.

But Xu Boyuan finally refused.

I don’t know if it’s because of sentimentality or some other reason, but he just doesn’t want to leave this dying, rotten game.

At the beginning, Xu Boyuan wanted to cheer up and try his best to stay with Lanxi Pavilion for a while longer.

But the decline of glory is too fast.

The seven elite groups at the Blue Brook Pavilion headquarters quickly shrank to five, then to three, and then to one. Until today, there is not even a fraction of an elite group.

This game is like an old man who is about to die. All his organs are failing. One day, he may close his eyes and never open them again.

Xu Boyuan shook his head, quit the game, and reached out a hand to pull the account card from the card reader.

I felt a handful of dust.

Not surprisingly, no matter which Internet cafe it is, although Honor's card readers have not been eliminated in a short period of time, their usage rate has been cut off at the ankle.

It's just a little dusty and not scrapped, which shows the boss's good maintenance.

Sighing, Xu Boyuan leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the League of Legends icon on the desktop.

Captain Yu, Master Huang, and Master Ye Qiu, what are they doing now?

Maybe they are preparing intensively for the new LPL league?
Xu Boyuan is not a League of Legends player. He spends all his limited rest time on Glory and Blue Brook Pavilion.

As such, he shouldn't know much about League of Legends.

But unfortunately, the LPL's promotion has been too strong these days.

Large posters of the LPL league can be seen everywhere on billboards, bus stops, and subway walls.

The opening screen ads of major apps also have those familiar faces.

There were several hot searches on Weibo every day, almost exposing all the teams' underwear. Xu Boyuan had watched Blue Rain games for so many years, but he had never seen such a strong and impressive publicity for the Glory League.

It is indeed a phenomenal game that overturned Honor of Kings...

Sometimes Xu Boyuan would ask himself why he was unwilling to try new games and had to indulge in the decadent bubbles of the old era.

There is no answer to this question, so I can only attribute it to the fact that I have a knot in my heart.

"Lao Xu!" At this moment, someone called him.

Xu Boyuan turned around in surprise, only to find Liang Yichun striding towards him with a surprised smile.

Unlike Xu Boyuan, the former Blue Brook Pavilion president Liang Yichun was a formal employee employed by Blue Rain and was a salaried worker.

When Blue Rain announced its transformation, he was the first to respond.

"Dachun? Why are you here?" Xu Boyuan was very surprised.

"I came to see you!" Liang Yichun said as if it was a matter of course, "You usually surf the Internet here, so I naturally came here to see you!"

"How have you been recently? Are you still running Lanxi Pavilion?" He sat down on the chair next to Xu Boyuan in a familiar manner.

"Yeah, the economy is bad. We can't even put together a team of 100 to fight the boss." Xu Boyuan sighed.

"A team of 100 people is originally an extremely luxurious product. If it weren't for the booming market for Glory's materials and equipment at the time, we wouldn't have been able to gather so many experts." Liang Yichun saw it clearly.

"Let's not talk about this. I came here specifically to see you this time."

Xu Boyuan was stunned: "Looking for me? What for?"

Liang Yichun took out a stack of tickets as if performing magic, took out one and handed it to Xu Boyuan.

"In two weeks, the LPL's S1 regular season spring season will officially begin."

"And the opening match will be between Blue Rain and Happy."

"The club provides free tickets to all brothers, and the seats are definitely at the front!"

"Old Xu, let's go and see it together!" He stretched out his hand towards Xu Boyuan.

"But... I don't understand League of Legends..." Xu Boyuan was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed.

Of course, he was happy to watch Blue Rain's games.

But Xu Boyuan really doesn’t understand League of Legends.

Liang Yichun hooked his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the commentators at the Alliance are very good. With your gaming skills, it will be easy for you to get the general idea."

"Also, watching the game itself is not our main purpose."

"What is the purpose?" Xu Boyuan frowned.

Liang Yichun smiled and replied calmly: "Is it okay to meet an old friend?"

"How about treating this competition as an offline gathering of the old brothers of Blue Brook Pavilion?"

"How long has it been since we, the five masters of Blue Brook Pavilion, met each other?"

The five great masters...that's really an ancient title.

"Lao Xu, the club has never forgotten the brothers in the online game, but due to the situation, we can't continue to operate the guild." Liang Yichun said lightly, with a different color in his eyes.

"But if you are willing to come back and take a look, Blue Rain will always keep its doors open for you."

Listening to Liang Yichun's words, Xu Boyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

But the hand holding the ticket unknowingly put the ticket into his trouser pocket.

“Give me a specific time.”

 The second update is here.

  I'm really sorry everyone, but I'm having a serious problem today.

  Mainly because I've been under a lot of pressure these past two days, studying and writing, and my head is buzzing.

  I will make up for today's update tomorrow.

  Sorry everyone.
