Chapter 392: Chapter 379: Let Me Play! (Third Update) Chapter 392: Chapter 379: Let Me Play! (Third Update) “A one-sided match isn’t very exciting to watch,” Mo Shigui said.

“No, it’s very exciting,” President Yin denied Mo Shigui’s opinion, “With the current state, this World Tournament is likely to be an internal battle between Cola Frenzy and Dancing Nuclear Guild. By then, the viewing heat in China will rise to an unprecedented climax.”

“And that’s for what?”

“So we can continue standing here watching the matches.”

President Yin looked through the training room window at the distant Oriental TV Tower as he spoke.

“Of course, Coach Song, if you feel insecure, I won’t do anything,” President Yin said. “I communicated with the Holy Spirit Fund yesterday, and right now, I’ve got twenty Holy Spirit game entitlement slots in my hands. If you think it’s inappropriate, I will hand these twenty slots over to others whom I believe are competent.”

“Most of the professional players in China have already gotten their Holy Spirit game entitlements.”

Mo Shigui could be certain about one thing–the distribution of Holy Spirit game entitlements prioritized the top players from various gaming fields. Not only had professional strife players received their entitlements, but FPS gamers had also gradually gotten their slots.

Half a year had passed, and as an eSports player in China, not having a Holy Spirit game entitlement would surely make one a joke among their peers.

“Other competent people, only they’re not someone I can work with,” President Yin continued, staring at the large screen in the training room, “The Titan Team’s owner and our club have a cooperative relationship, and I’m also one of the shareholders of the Titan Team. It’s up to you guys now.”

“Don’t underestimate my players,” Mo Shigui said, as he clapped his hands, because on the large screen in the training room, the word ‘Victory’ had just appeared. In this team fight, Dancing Nuclear had ended the unbeatable Titan Team with one member sacrificing himself perfectly.

“How surprising, Mr. Lu, what secret training did you undergo this summer tournament? It’s utterly astonishing.”

The coach of the Titan Team was a burly bald man who was now constantly wiping the sweat off his bald head with a handkerchief.

In the last game in the training room, the coach of the Titan Team noticed that the members of Dancing Nuclear were playing blindly–and they still managed to win.

“Want to know how?” President Yin’s face once again took on a commercial smile.

“Would you care to share?”

The coach of the Titan Team had an excited look on his face and said ‘Thank you’ in awkward Chinese amidst his excitement.

“You can know, but sign this first.”

President Yin directly pulled out a contract an inch thick, which gave the Titan Team’s coach a headache just by looking at it.

“The copy has already been faxed to your headquarters,” President Yin pulled up a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of coffee and adding six spoonfuls of sugar to it.

“Cloud! You scoundrel, how did you get so strong!”

“You… who are you! Black Pot, what is she talking about?”

“Tell me quickly!”

As President Yin sipped the overly sweet coffee that made Mo Shigui frown, the scene in the training room made Mo Shigui’s brows furrow even more.

Becauese Lu Wei, a player from the Titan Team, had just pinned Juan Canyun to the ground.

If Mo Shigui remembered correctly, Lu Wei and Juan Canyun debuted in the same period and had faced each other several times in mid-season matches. Lu Wei was a girl with long silver hair… punk? Mo Shigui remembered the word–it was the usual impression of a cheerful foreign girl.

“She’s asking for your mobile number,” Black Ash blabbered, not understanding English either.

“1356…,” Juan Canyun said, giving away his phone number to escape the torment from this girl.

“What does that mean? Translate that, Gexinsi.”

“Cut it out, Coach Lu Wei needs us for something.”

After the players of the Titan team had been crushed on the ground by the Dancing Nuclear Guild, all of them were in a bad mood. Just then, the coach confirmed the news from the Titan headquarters and, holding that frighteningly thick pile of contracts, sat down again in front of President Yin.

“How is it?” President Yin asked, putting down his coffee cup.

“The headquarters is calling this a contract of indenture,” said the bald coach, his head gleaming under the cold sweat-inducing smile of President Yin, “They’ve also placed the decision-making power in my hands. This would be against labor laws in our country.”

“It’s just letting them play another game in their free time. The Dancing Nuclear Guild’s club is quite large; you all could live here. Plus, you wouldn’t want the scene from the practice match to repeat at the world championships, would you?” asked President Yin.

The expression of the Titan team’s coach became extremely awkward and conflicted.

“What game?” Lu Wei asked, cutting in. She was the only female in the team and also the most talkative.

“Holy Spirit,” President Yin, whose English was probably the best in the Dancing Nuclear Guild– almost all of the others were the type to fail their English tests miserably.

“I’ve heard of this game. I’ve even used a VPN to access your country’s Heavenly Palace gaming platform for draws! Why lock out our country’s IP? That’s not fair!”

“There are many reasons, but you won’t have a problem playing in the upper city. The world championships start in half a month, and I think you could give it a try in between continuing training with us,” continued President Yin.

“But Mr. Lu, this contract lasts a whole year, requires thirty hours online each month, and we must join the Dancing Nuclear Guild and follow their commands. We are professional esports players; these demands are unreasonable,” argued the coach.

Right now, the Titan team’s coach felt like President Yin was shoving the Holy Spirit game disc in his face and saying, ‘You must play even if you don’t want to; play it for me!’”
“Coach, it’s unreasonable to play another game close to the world championships,” said another player named Gexinsi.

“But that’s exactly why the players of the Dancing Nuclear Guild can completely defeat you,” the coach of the Titan team admitted reluctantly, even though he’d been analyzing the skills of players from various regions.

The sudden surge in strength from players in the China region after that intercontinental match had caught his attention, and after some investigation, he discovered it was all related to the game Holy Spirit.

The players from the Dancing Nuclear Guild had already stopped communicating with them. After the practice match, they went straight back to immerse themselves in the world of Holy Spirit.

“This has no honor!” said a player in the team.

“I’m not forcing your whole team to sign this contract. This is a three-day training match; you can think it over during these three days,” President Yin said.

The Titan team had twelve players — twelve top-level players… That’s right, a world-class team that’s outrageously strong with no weak spots. Currently, their only weakness was that they hadn’t played Holy Spirit.

This was also why someone complained about there being “no honor.” Relying on another game to improve one’s skills in disputes felt somewhat strange?

But President Yin didn’t care about their feelings. What he needed was to raise the level of top-tier Holy Spirit players. The more T0-level players who could instantly kill their copies of Black Ash Knight in the battle, the better.

Right now, the most talented player in the Titan team was Lu Wei.

“Can you give me a test qualification for Holy Spirit?” Lu Wei asked.

“Yes.”

“Great! I’m in!” Lu Wei said.
