Chapter 96: Keep swinging the hoe and digging in the corner. (End of Volume )
Pei Yunteng looked at the briefing on the screen and couldn't help but start thinking again.

Currently, the qualifying stage is in full swing, everything is going well and it is cause for celebration.

Several highly anticipated galactic battleships are far ahead, but many up-and-coming teams are also gradually emerging.

Pei Yunteng specifically made a loophole during the online competition stage to allow personnel changes.

For these hastily formed teams in online competitions, even those that can stand out, there are only one or two players in the team who really have the potential to become professional players.

If they were allowed to disperse among the various teams, their strength would naturally be limited.

But what if they chose to unite after getting to know each other during the competition?

What Pei Yunteng hopes to see is that in the future there will be a group of grassroots teams that can gradually grow up through this method of fighting to support fighting.

Just like the protagonists in those anime, they fight their way forward, meet new partners along the way, and finally let the world hear the story of young and promising people.

"The purpose of setting up a league is to prevent monopoly. If the 'Big Three' monopolizes it in the end, it will be meaningless."

Pei Yunteng chuckled and talked to himself.

Strong teams like Happy and Blue Rain were indispensable in the early stages of the league.

The league needs their qualities, abilities and fame to expand territory and conquer cities.

However, as the league gradually matures and commercial capital gradually enters the market, they will also become an obstacle to the league's progress.

For example, the Lakers and Warriors in the NBA, and EDG in the LPL a few years ago.

Once these giants are developed, it will be difficult for the championship to fall into the hands of others unless there is a problem with the league or that generation comes to an end.

Pei Yunteng does not want such a giant to appear in the league.

“I can only say that a youth training system still needs to be established…” Pei Yunteng said with emotion.

But it's too early to worry about these things now.

At least in the first season, we still have to rely on a few giants to compete for the championship.

Speaking of wealthy families...

"How are the layoffs going at Honor?" Pei Yunteng suddenly became a little curious.

Zhao Yang is by no means an isolated case in the Glory Alliance.

In fact, except for the crazy Yanyu, most of the Glory Clubs are in a stage of contraction and dormancy.

There is no way to avoid lying low, I have no money left.

After all, the vacuum period of the Honor League in the past six months has really hit a vital point.

In order to save money, we can only cut off our tail to survive.

"According to the system's monitoring, the layoffs of all the major clubs in the Glory Professional League have basically been completed."

"Among them, except for the two banned players Wang Jiexi and Han Wenqing, the veterans who joined the Glory League in the third season or before have basically all completed their contract terminations."

"There are also some players who are in their prime but have a low appearance rate, as well as some youth players who are not within the club's consideration range."

The system popped up to report.

Pei Yunteng has recently been using the system more and more like a surveillance camera.

Occasionally, when Pei Yunteng was in a playful mood, he could use the system to show his foresight in front of his employees and gain a lot of looks like they were looking at him from God.

"So where are they going?"

"More than 90 percent of young players are trying to transition to the League of Legends."

“But most of the older players have returned to their lives with the money they earned over the years.”

"Return to life? That's not a good thing." Pei Yunteng shook his head and chuckled.

“The veterans are able to persist until today. Their popularity, feelings, and indomitable spirit are all valuable resources.”

"If you don't want the glory, give it to me."

The system thought for a moment and gave a friendly reminder: "Host, their operation and reaction speed may not be able to keep up, and the league needs some fresh blood..."

"System, do you know who is the oldest professional player I have ever seen competing in the main competition?" Pei Yunteng smiled evilly.

"His name is Hengkongchusheng83, and he was already sixty years old when he participated in the competition."

"Yes, e-sports is a young profession that requires young bodies and minds."

"But for some types of games, the age limit may be relaxed a little bit..."

The league is going well, so he doesn't need to spend too much time on it for the time being.

So, it's time to get back to the old ways.

Keep swinging the hoe! Keep digging in the corner!
……

Lin Jingyan was awakened by the dazzling sunlight.

Rubbing his eyes while lying on the bed, he could not help but feel a little dazed. The windows of Lin Jingyan's dormitory and home room were all facing east, and the sunlight would only enter the room in the morning.

In the past, Lin Jingyan would hardly wake up in the morning.

For professional players of Honor of Kings, their work and rest schedules are basically reversed. Staying up all night is the norm, and they have little energy during the day.

Lin Jingyan was used to this kind of underworld lifestyle, and he felt a little uncomfortable suddenly returning to a normal life.

He picked up the phone beside him and opened it, and a row of group chat icons appeared in his eyes.

No one has been in the group chat called "Professional Players Group" for a long time.

Of the young people who used to make jokes in the show, some left the show sadly, some struggled to hold on, and more resolutely embarked on a new and unknown path.

Although there was no direct dispute, in essence, everyone had parted ways.

Lin Jingyan's gaze passed over it and stopped at a group chat called "Retired Old Man Enjoying His Old Age" and clicked on it.

"Fall Guys: We are short of one, is there anyone who wants to join us?"

"Come and form a team of four Thunder Gods, and we need to master the skill of throwing shit."

"Is there anyone coming to the new SkyIsland Survival map? Those who can build iron machines, line machines, and monster towers will be given priority!"

……

As soon as you enter the group, what catches your eye the most is the team-building and recruitment of players for various games. It is as lively as the glorious online gaming era.

Although these professional players have retired from the active stage, they are still a group of internet-addicted teenagers at heart.

Even though I have been tortured for years by Honor, a game that is not a game at all, I have always maintained my original love for games.

But when I looked closely, I found that they were basically casual games or games with a slower pace.

There's nothing we can do. We are all elderly people. Once our spirits are low, our hands can't keep up.

Lin Jingyan was just about to see if there were any games he was interested in, when suddenly someone in the group started shouting:
"Have you heard? LOL is going to release a new mode!"

Lin Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and typed quickly on his phone.

Only at this time can he burst out with some professional-level hand speed.

Lin Jingyan: "Look, you're anxious again."

"We are all retired senior citizens, and we can no longer play games like League of Legends that require operation."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to make a fuss.

Making fun of themselves as retired seniors is the favorite daily entertainment activity of these old guys.

But this time, it seems a little different.

"But this new mode doesn't seem to require very difficult operations, the hero will attack people on his own!"

Beating someone yourself? Then what's the point of playing? Lin Jingyan was stunned.

However, his curiosity was indeed aroused.

"Interesting, what's the name of the new mode?"

"It seems to be called... Teamfight Tactics?"

　First of all, I’m sorry, there may only be nine updates today.

　　The reason has just been mentioned. The saved manuscript was discarded and there was a hole in the outline, which had to be filled up bit by bit.

　　However, it was probably a blessing in disguise. After this incident, I was partially freed from the constraints of the alliance, and my mind became clearer.

　　At least now I have some idea of ​​what I should write in the next stage.

　　The reason why this book can attract all the grandpas should not be just relying on some clichés of the League, but more and more interesting things.

　　Just like the title of this chapter, maybe it’s time to return to my original intention and write something that everyone will like to read.

　　Today, I only updated nine out of the original ten chapters. The one chapter I owe will be doubled in the future.

　　The current first order is about three thousand, and there are three updates.

　　There are three alliance leaders. Only one chapter has been added so far, and five chapters are owed.

　　I owe ten chapters in total.

　　It will be added in the future.

　　I can only say that after all, I am a newcomer with a new book, and I often fall into some pitfalls due to my lack of experience.

　　I can only say one thing to every gentleman who is willing to accompany the author in his progress and growth: thank you all for your support.

　　Love you guys.
