The King's Avatar: Boss Yanyu marries Yunxiu

Chapter 256 Arriving in Zurich and beginning the painful jet lag

Wang Zi's words gave Ye Xiu a lot of inspiration, and he became more confident about this World Invitational Tournament.

After nearly a week of training, all the great players on the national team have found their own tacit understanding, and their cooperation is so incredible that even Ye Xiu, a spectator, finds it incredible.

While the national team members were training, the 11th season of Glory was already underway as scheduled.

Because many of the top players from many teams went to the national team to participate in the World Invitational this time, many strong teams from last season performed extremely poorly in their first games of the new season.

The most obvious one among them is the Yanyu Team.

Last season's champion team was a super team with six-star battleships. This season, including the retired Ye Xiu, 5 great players actually went to the national team.

On the six-star battleship, only Li Hua was left.

Fortunately, with Wang Zi's operation, Gai Caijie from the Void Team was introduced to Yanyu, which prevented the Yanyu Team from being without a formation-attacking player.

However, the team was short of manpower, and Yanyu could only promote three newcomers from the training camp to fill the vacancies in the professional team.

However, the core accounts of the Yanyu Team were all taken to the World Invitational, so the level of the accounts within the team was greatly reduced.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for the Yanyu team to win the league.

Fortunately, the World Invitational only lasts for one month, and the Glory League only has four rounds in one month. When Wang Zi and his team return from the World Invitational, there will still be plenty of opportunities to lead the team back.

On September 2025, 9, under the leadership of the E-Sports Bureau leaders, Honor headquarters leaders, and team leader Ye Xiu, Wang Zi and his team boarded a plane to Zurich.

Although the World Invitational Tournament will not officially start until the 10th, the players need to adjust to the time difference, familiarize themselves with the rules of the international competition in advance, and it will take a day to fly to Zurich.

So even if you depart on the 7th, you will only arrive in Zurich one day earlier.

When the players arrived in Zurich on the 5th, they not only had to adjust to the time difference as quickly as possible, but also had to hurry to log in to the game using the international version of Honor in Zurich and quickly familiarize themselves with the 5V12 individual competition and the 12V team competition. This was also a big test for the members of the national team.

After a long air journey lasting dozens of hours, Wang Zi and his team finally arrived in Zurich safely.

It has to be said that as the largest city in Switzerland, Zurich is not only the political, economic, transportation and cultural center of Switzerland, but also the richest city in Europe, without a doubt.

Because it is the world's largest financial center, the world-famous Swiss Bank headquarters is located in the most prosperous area of ​​​​Zurich.

Since it is home to the headquarters of more than 120 banks from around the world, more than half of which are foreign banks, it is also known as the "Billionaire City of Europe".

Moreover, Zurich has a temperate maritime climate. In its area of ​​more than 90 square kilometers, there are 4.1 square kilometers of lakes, accounting for nearly 5%.

This also means that Zurich's summers are not hot at all and its winters are not very cold.

The temperature in Zurich varies little throughout the year, with the average temperature usually remaining between 14 and 20 degrees. Even in summer, the maximum temperature rarely exceeds 25 degrees, and in the coldest winter, the temperature rarely drops below 0 degrees.

In addition, Zurich has a small population, a developed economy, and almost no pressure on its citizens' lives, so Zurich has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the world by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme for many years in a row.

Therefore, nearly half of the registered population living in Zurich are foreigners.

However, although Zurich is beautiful, Wang Zi and others did not have the time and energy to appreciate the cultural landscape of Zurich. Instead, after getting off the plane, they immediately went to tinker with the international version of the Honor of Kings game.

On the plane, the leader of the National Competition Bureau had already said that if you want to travel in Zurich, you should work hard and get good results in the World Invitational Tournament. Then you can have a good time in Zurich after the World Invitational Tournament is over.

The leader set the conditions for the trip: if you make it to the top eight, you will have the opportunity to travel to Zurich for a day. If you make it to the top four, you will have the opportunity to travel for three days. If you win in Zurich, the leader will pay for everyone on the national team to travel in Zurich for a week.

In order to enjoy a week-long trip in Zurich, Wang Zi, after getting off the plane, ignored his sleepiness and immediately adapted to the game.

Due to lack of manpower, there were only 14 people including Ye Xiu, so they could only adapt to 7V7 team competition.

Although it does not reach the 10V10 standard, it is much better than the 5V5 team competition.

After getting familiar with the international version of Honor, it was already 6 a.m. Beijing time. But the time in Zurich is more than hours behind Beijing time, so it is only p.m. in Zurich now.

But it's okay to go to bed at this time.

Everyone was already extremely sleepy, and after finishing the training, they quickly fell asleep.

However, everyone's sleep quality was not very good. Wang Zi, for example, woke up at nine in the morning Beijing time, but it was three in the morning in Zurich at that time.

This feeling gives people the feeling that day and night are reversed.

That's what people often say, jet lag.

On the 9th, Wang Zi and his team spent the day training and adjusting to jet lag.

The most painful time to adjust to jet lag is at night.

As professional players, their work and rest schedules are basically very stable, especially for people like Zhang Xinjie who live their lives like an alarm clock. Their eyelids start to droop as soon as it's eleven or twelve o'clock at night.

But 11 or 12 o'clock Beijing time is only 5 o'clock in the afternoon in Zurich, and the nightlife has not started yet.

If I'm so sleepy at this time in Zurich, how can I have the energy to play in the Glory League at 7 or 8, 8 or 9 in the evening?

So in order to adapt to the time difference here, Ye Xiu, the night owl captain, became a living alarm clock.

He supervised the training status of all members of the national team. Once he found someone dozing off, he would immediately slap the person in the face and then shout at them to scare them back to sleep.

But by two or three in the morning, not to mention Zhang Xinjie, even Wang Zi and others' double eyelids no longer obeyed the command.

However, when it comes to the game, this point is exactly when to play the game.

If we can't overcome the sleepiness at this moment, how can we concentrate during the competition?

So it was only at this time that Ye Xiu realized that being excluded from training by the organizers of the World Invitational Tournament, in addition to the dangers mentioned by Wang Zi, the danger of jet lag was the real danger.

Other teams from other countries have arrived in Zurich half a month in advance.

Their jet lag had long been reversed, and they had completely adapted to this schedule.

But their Country Z team has just started to adjust to the jet lag, and the game will start the day after tomorrow, so there is no time to adjust their schedule.

However, there is no point in thinking about these things now. The most important thing now is to overcome this difficulty.

Fortunately, Ye Xiu was a night owl and was used to staying up all night in the Happy Internet Cafe, so even at two or three in the morning, he was still energetic.

Under the urging of Ye Xiu's beating of drums and gongs, Wang Zi and others were woken up again and again from their drooping eyelids, and then endured their eyelids fighting again, and then were woken up again.

They stayed up until six in the morning, which was around midnight Zurich time, before Ye Xiu let everyone go back to rest.

This time, everyone slept much more soundly. Wang Zi slept until 12:30 noon, which was about six o'clock in the morning in Zurich.

Although they only slept for 6 hours, everyone's sleep quality was still good because of the good climate and high humidity.

After getting up, we had breakfast and then walked together on the streets of Zurich. At eight o'clock in the morning in Zurich, everyone started a new round of training.

Because they had to go to the UEFA headquarters in Zurich for the draw at four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone trained until three o'clock in the afternoon, then washed up, changed into clean and tidy clothes, and prepared to go to the venue of the World Invitational Tournament.

FIFA Headquarters in Zurich!
