Chapter 107 A Group Attack

The meeting room door was half-open, and sounds of discussion and crackling sunflower seeds could be heard coming from inside.

The room was large, with a round table in the center and five people sitting around it.

They were dressed casually; some wore hoodies, some wore shirts, and two even wore slippers with their feet propped up on the table legs.

A huge television screen was mounted on the wall, playing a game video.

It was a replay of the live stream from the daytime battle between "Sakura's Second Slash" and Hanada Meijin!

The discussion was lively: "Look, look! Why did he play this card? He clearly had the resources; wouldn't it have been better to play 'Strike' instead?"

The scene is currently showing the second attack having just dealt with the second snake form, and the attacker is preparing for a planned attack.

He had just played the "Neutralize" card and still had two attack cards and one "Survivor" in his hand. In order to block "Pen Tip", he only played one card and discarded the other with "Survivor".

This action sparked a heated discussion among the group: "I think he just made a mistake."

'

"Does he not know that as long as you control the card order and play the 'Survivor' last, you can play it even without discarding any cards?"

"No, no, you're all wrong."

"I've studied this second-strike tactic. His favorite tactic is to make the opponent underestimate him."

"The reason he's not playing this card now is definitely because he's deliberately letting Hanada lower his guard, but not completely refusing to play it at all."

"So that's how it is! I must say, that second cut was truly amazing."

"In just the last two days, he's fought two top fighters from the US and Japan, and he hasn't lost a single one!"

"If we were in that situation, we wouldn't even dare to dream of it. We'd be lucky to lose with any dignity."

The group chatted animatedly, with one of them holding a handful of sunflower seeds, cracking them open with a "crack, crack" sound, scattering shells all over the ground.

"Sigh, who exactly is this second-best player? I've never seen this fighting style before. He doesn't even have a single weapon, yet he still manages to beat Hanada?"

"I don't know, it's probably some new style developed by Japan. Let's just wait and see."

"I'm so envious. Japan has produced another top expert. I wish this second striker was from China."

Xingyuan stood at the door, followed by Ye Fei and Xiao Wei. As soon as he stepped inside, he was dumbfounded.

These people were dressed like they were just out for a casual stroll, completely different from the serious and formal style he had envisioned for the meeting.

He was the only one dressed formally and neatly, as if he were there for a meeting, and he seemed out of place in the same room as them.

No one in the room noticed them. Xingyuan stood there staring blankly for a while, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Ye Fei followed behind, noticed the large screen, and looked up.

"Um???"

After a while, a tall, muscular man seemed to notice them.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, just glanced at it, and then turned his head away.

After a while, without turning his head, he said as if giving an order: "Someone's coming."

The voice was deep and resonant, and as soon as it was spoken, everyone's gaze quickly shifted to it.

The speaker was a man in his early thirties, wearing a shirt and with long, flowing hair.

He had his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on the TV screen, and a toothpick dangling from his mouth.

He is Xiang Chu, the vice president of the Fushan Provincial Esports Association and the captain of "Moying", the strongest esports team in Fushan Province.

Xiang Chu didn't turn around, but casually remarked in a flippant tone, "Ah, it's the Dragon Kingdom's Machine King."

The meeting room immediately quieted down.

Upon hearing this, the other team leaders all turned around one after another. Some put down their sunflower seeds, while others took their feet off the table legs.

The video that was playing was paused, and the group sat up a little straighter, assuming they were about to have a meeting.

Xiang Chu finally turned his head, looked Xing Yuan up and down, and then glanced at Xiao Wei and Ye Fei behind him.

His lips twitched slightly, a smile that seemed both ambiguous and ambiguous, then he gestured to Xingyuan: "Please sit!"

Xingyuan looked around. There were only five chairs around the round table, one for each of the five team captains, leaving no extra seats.

He stood there, at a loss.

Ye Fei stood behind him, his gaze, which had been fixed on the television screen on the wall, was now paused, and he also looked away.

Xiao Wei stood behind Ye Fei, expressionless, silent as a wall.

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Xiang Chu seemed to suddenly notice something, deliberately looking around before frowning: "Wait, something's not right, is a chair missing?"

He immediately stood up, walked to the door, and shouted outside, "Where's the chair? Don't you know the Dragon Kingdom's Machine King is here? Hurry up and bring one!"

Upon hearing this name, Xingyuan's heart skipped a beat again. It was supposed to be his reputation, but now it sounded so strange.

Not long after, a staff member rushed in carrying a chair.

Xiang Chu glared at him, which startled the staff member so much that he immediately lowered his head and ran out.

As soon as the chairs were brought in, Xiang Chu immediately changed his expression, becoming polite and amiable: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xingyuan, our association failed to provide adequate hospitality. I will definitely give them a good scolding when we get back."

Xingyuan looked at his respectful demeanor and didn't take it to heart. He sat down, but he felt a strange unease in his heart.

He soon discovered that when they said "please sit down," they only provided one chair!

Xiang Chu seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and interrupted him in advance with a smile on his face: "Haha, our association just cleared out a batch of problematic chairs a few days ago, and the new ones haven't arrived yet, so this is the only chair we have left."

"My two companions, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stand for a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, without even asking for the opinions of the others, the smile on his face immediately vanished.

Xingyuan felt a bit angry and glanced back at Ye Fei, his expression complicated.

Ye Fei gave him a look, as if to say "it's okay," and he turned back around.

Ye Fei and Xiao Wei stood silently behind him, like a backdrop.

"Okay." Xiang Chu took the toothpick out of his mouth and threw it into the ashtray on the table.

Soon, the meeting began to get down to business.

"Mr. Xingyuan, we have received your application to form a team and have communicated with the team leaders."

"We warmly welcome you to establish a team in our Fukuyama Province, however—"

"There are also some rules I need to tell you."

Xingyuan frowned upon hearing this word. He recalled the various rules and regulations that existed during his previous military service.

This was something he used to find extremely offensive, and it was a major reason why he decided to retire.

But right now, he's doing Ye Fei's bidding, so he has to keep quiet.

"rule?"

Xingyuan appeared extremely unwilling.

Xiang Chu smiled, then raised his hand, slowly extended it, and pointed in the air.

"Sigh, this rule was only recently established, so there's really no other way."

"To be honest, in recent years, more and more new e-sports teams have been established in Fushan Province."

"Everyone wants to make a living in this industry, but their qualifications and abilities vary greatly."

"This has led to some teams with very poor qualifications trying to cheat and get a share of the pie, making the whole environment a mess."

""

"Therefore, in order to ensure the healthy development of the e-sports environment in Fushan Province, we team captains discussed and decided on this rule."

He glanced around at the other four team leaders; some nodded, and some hummed in agreement.

Xingyuan thought for a moment and expressed his understanding, but still felt something was off, so he continued to ask, "Okay, then what are the rules?"

Xiang Chu paused, then said calmly, "As for what this rule is, it's actually very simple—it's a test."

"Through the test, we will determine whether you have enough strength to build a team."

"If even the captain's skills are not up to par, I believe there is no point in establishing this team. It's useless except for dragging people down."

His tone rose a few notches.

"And the test is quite simple: single-player PvP!"

"If you can pass the test of our five captains and hold your own, we will acknowledge that you have the qualifications to form a team!"
