National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

Chapter 111 All Things Are of One Mind (Revised)

Ye Fei handed over the phone, which read "Director Pei Tianming".

Xiang Chu was completely dumbfounded.

His hand trembled as he reached out and took the phone, his eyes wide with shock.

He held it to his ear, his voice trembling slightly, and cautiously called out, "Hey, Brother Pei—"

"Xiao Xiang? It's you." Pei Tianming's voice came through the receiver, immediately changing his tone to one of calmness with a hint of authority.

"What do you want to say to me?"

Xiang Chu stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time: "I—this—"

Pei Tianming didn't let him finish speaking. He seemed to understand something immediately, and his voice lowered and became stern: "Xiao Xiang, I'm warning you."

"I won't say anything else, but I'll tell you one thing: don't make things difficult for Mr. Ye! Whatever arrangements he makes, you have to cooperate!"

"Their team formation was approved by us long ago; it's none of your business to interfere!"

"Listen carefully, if you delay his important business, I'll hold you accountable!"

Xiang Chu was still holding his phone, staring blankly at the floor, his expression wooden, as if his soul had been ripped out.

Ye Fei snatched the phone back from his hand.

"That Director Pei, that's about it. I'm sorry to bother you by calling so late."

The person on the other end of the phone replied immediately, but in a different tone: "Haha, Mr. Ye, no, no, you can call anytime you need."

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

"Alright." He looked at Xiang Chu, his tone still calm: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiang Chu's face twitched a few times. He slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Fei.

In his eyes, all the previous arrogance, pride, and disdain had vanished completely, leaving only despair and emptiness.

At that moment, only one thought crossed my mind: "Who the hell is this lackey?!"

"Alright, since you have nothing more to say, then let's proceed with the disposal."

"Xingyuan, what do you suggest we do?"

Xingyuan thought for a moment: "Hmm—then let's just report it to the Dragon Kingdom's Electricity Committee and have them remove him from the citizenship. Then we'll post the information online."

Upon hearing his words, the captains completely panicked, their legs went weak, and cries of despair rose up: "No! Brother Xingyuan, Second Brother Ye, please spare our lives!"

"Please, my whole family of fifty people depends on me for their livelihood."

"Fifty mouths?" Ye Fei muttered to himself.

"Also, our teams have a total of over a hundred members. Without us, they would be finished too."

"As long as, as long as you don't expose me—"

"From now on, we'll make you the boss, and you'll manage the funds! We'd even be willing to share a portion of all future sponsorship funds with you!"

"Ah! That's right, that's right. From now on, you'll be the big boss of our Fushan Province! You'll take the lion's share of the profits, and we'll just get our share of the soup."

"6

Xingyuan was speechless, while Ye Fei seemed to be deep in thought.

Only Xiang Chu remained silent for a moment before suddenly stepping forward and interrupting everyone: "Everyone—"

"I was the instigator of everything, I was the mastermind, I planned all of this."

"You can expose me, sue me, or expose me, but one thing..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Please leave the brothers some food."

After he finished speaking, he sincerely apologized.

The other team leaders were deeply moved by these heartfelt words.

Some lowered their heads, some looked away, and some bit their lips. They remembered that they had just betrayed him and couldn't help but feel guilty.

Ye Fei ignored these requests, his heart remaining unmoved. He was thinking:

If these teams were to remain, they would simply be "zombie teams."

Their skills are lagging behind, they hold positions without doing anything, and keeping them around is only harmful to the esports industry in China.

These team leaders kept talking about "making a living" and "having a job," but in reality, they were all living very comfortably on their incomes.

Besides, it was them who came.

In the past, countless newcomers who came to form teams have been cheated by them in this way.

The group was still wailing when Ye Fei glanced at them.

If he really punishes these team leaders and exposes them all...

Even if he doesn't pursue the matter further, the team members will definitely be implicated. After all, in the world of esports, public opinion can control life and death.

But if this were to happen, the interests of countless people would be affected, and order would be disrupted.

At that point, the entire Fukuyama province will truly be thrown into turmoil by them, and things will get really serious.

He doesn't want to create potential trouble. Is there a better way to have the best of both worlds?

He glanced at the team leaders again and fell into deep thought.

Xiang Chu looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with despair and resolve. This was his last request; if it failed, he would be helpless and could only be like livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

He was interrupted just as he was about to offer all his savings from the past years in exchange.

Ye Fei cleared his throat.

When everyone saw that he was about to speak, they immediately shut their mouths and stopped shouting.

"How about this?"

Several people turned their attention to this.

"It's impossible to let you go. You'll be expelled from the register, and that won't change."

"However, we don't necessarily have to send you to court. Even if you do, it will only result in a few more unemployed people and a bit more trouble."

"I'll give you a chance. If you come to our team as practice partners, I won't expose you."

"However, there is no salary yet. After two years, depending on your performance, we will consider whether there will be a minimum standard base salary."

""

"The opportunity is yours; whether you take it or not is up to you. Of course, if you don't want to do it, you can leave now."

After he said that, the group of people were stunned.

They knew that the so-called "sparring partners" were just the lowest-level odd jobs in the team, responsible for everything from serving tea and water to wiping tables and sweeping floors.

This is a far cry from their former high-ranking captain status.

Without wages, it's blatant "working illegally," no different from being a slave.

"Isn't this just like a black slave? How can they live like this?" someone muttered.

"Shh, keep your voice down! You can leave if you want, I don't want to go to jail!" another person retorted.

"Oh, the minimum standard? Does that mean we can no longer afford sea cucumbers?"

"It'll have to do; a meal budget of under 100 yuan isn't necessarily unacceptable."

They whispered among themselves.

Ye Fei thought to himself: This move was exactly what he learned when he rescued Chu Liang at the Zixia Organization, and now it came in handy against them.

He understood perfectly well that with these few people's savings, they could still survive even if they worked illegally for two years.

And their teammates will not be affected by the exposure of their captains.

Then merge them all in. This way, it won't cause a lot of unemployment, and it can also replenish the manpower of the new team. It's a win-win situation!

He couldn't help but feel proud of his clever idea.

Xingyuan was the first to react, immediately adding, "That's right! But once you're here, you must work diligently and not slack off!"

"If I find out even the slightest mistake on your part, don't blame me—"

The meaning was clear enough, and no further explanation was given. Upon hearing this, the group immediately nodded in fright, "We agree!"

Time flies, and three days later...

On the front page of Fukuyama Weekly, a news article titled "The King of Machines Returns to the Scene! Merging Five Major Teams in One Go!" suddenly appeared.

The accompanying photo shows Xingyuan standing in front of the new building, dressed smartly and smiling. As a former legendary player, he still exudes confidence and vigor.

On the same day, the "Tower World Chronicles" channel was broadcasting live footage on television.

The host stood on one side of the red carpet, holding a microphone and wearing a polite smile.

In front of a building in Fushan Province, a brand-new sign was hung, with the words "Bai Lian E-sports Alliance" prominently displayed in gold lettering.

The camera slowly pans to Xingyuan, who stands at the main entrance of the building, with the original members of the five major battle teams behind him, standing ramrod straight. They have also changed into newly tailored formal attire and have solemn expressions.

A red carpet was laid out at the entrance of the building, and flower baskets were placed on both sides, with colorful ribbons fluttering gently in the morning breeze.

Behind them was the backdrop for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the "BaiLian Esports Alliance".

Several staff members were carrying trays with scissors tied with red ribbons on them.

Ye Fei simply stood to Xing Yuan's side, keeping a low profile. Xiao Wei stood behind him, still expressionless, like a wall.

The camera pans to Xingyuan, and the host walks towards him, holding the microphone to his mouth.

"Mr. Xingyuan, after many years, you have reappeared in the public eye!"

"What made you decide to return to the professional scene in China at this time?"

Xingyuan faced the camera, his smile brimming with confidence and high spirits.

"The reason is simple: I was disappointed before because I didn't find the right path," he said.

"And now, I see hope."

Although the host didn't quite understand, he still smiled politely and continued, "So, may I ask what the meaning is behind the name of your team alliance, 'Hundred Consecutive'?"

Xingyuan paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay, this name was actually thought of by our logistics manager."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Fei.

"If you want to know the deeper meaning, you'd have to ask him, but I think it probably means eternal victory, winning every battle!"

Immediately, the ceremony reached its climax. Under the watchful eyes of countless cameras, Xingyuan personally cut the ribbon, and applause erupted as ribbons rained down from the sky.

At the same time, the hundreds of new team members behind them shouted in unison: "A hundred consecutive esports matches, a hundred battles, a hundred victories!"
