Chapter 345 A strong man breaks his wrist
At this moment, Qiao Jingjing and the others also understood Ye Xiu's previous feelings. After all, even Chen Guo, a fan, had such a deep bond with Excellent Era, not to mention Ye Xiu, who had been with them and fought for their position for so many years.
Seeing that the girls had understood the situation, Xiao Nai continued, "Sun Xiang's decision to become the captain not only gave hope to Excellent Era's fans, but also to Old Ye."
"I have said before that Lao Ye is a double-edged sword to Jia Shi because of his abnormal commercial value. He has too much halo and leaves other team members no chance to stand out. Although the championship is what all professional players want most, it does not affect their desire for fame or economic benefits. Not everyone is a rich second-generation like Lao Ye, even if the worst result is going home. For professional players from ordinary families, before the emergence of live streaming, unless they can accumulate enough economic foundation by playing today, their future life will be very difficult. Because they entered the professional circle in their teens or early twenties, they did not have time to complete their studies. The highest estimate is only a junior high school diploma, and it is imaginable how difficult it will be for this diploma to return to society. There have been many examples of this situation. If you know a little about the retired professional players in the past, you will know. Ye Xiu alone has helped many of his former friends." Xiao Nai said.
"The existence of Old Ye has put a lot of pressure on the players of Excellent Era. The pressure of the competition itself is great, and now they have to face the anxiety of retiring in the future and losing their source of income. As for the team, in a normal team, all the players can bring certain economic benefits, but because of the existence of Old Ye, the only player who can create considerable income for Excellent Era is Mu Cheng. And because of Excellent Era's performance in the past few seasons, even the captain Ye Xiu couldn't keep sponsors. Without sufficient financial resources, Excellent Era couldn't continue. Ye Xiu knew all this very well, so even when he was forced to leave during the most misunderstood period, he still chose to accept it, because he knew that since he could no longer go back to this situation, he simply chose to terminate the contract. After all, this was the last thing he could do for Excellent Era." Xiao Nai said.
(The above speculation comes from the original novel's 501st chapter, "A Hero Cuts Off His Arm", in case some book friends say Erha, Erha stacks armor. Please forgive me)
"Isn't it ridiculous to think about it this way? While the members of the Excellent Era team and the higher-ups were trying every means to get rid of Old Ye, in fact, Old Ye was already prepared to let go for Excellent Era." Xiao Nai said.
After hearing Xiao Nai's explanation, Qiao Jingjing and the others found it both funny and pitiful. After all, you can't judge them unilaterally from the perspective of right or wrong in this matter. In the end, they could only feel that it was not worth it for Ye Xiu. There could obviously be a better and gentler solution, but Jia Shi chose the most direct and inhumane one.
They both sacrificed for their own teams. At least some people could see Wang Jiexi's sacrifice, or they could explain it away by saying victory and defeat are common in the military. But what about Ye Xiu? Who knew about his sacrifice? Even if Xiao Nai hadn't said it, those who were around him every day wouldn't have known about it, let alone others.
And what did he gain by sacrificing everything...
At this time, Qiao Jingjing and the others suddenly felt that Xiao Nai's adjective was very good, and it was really "quite funny"...
Xiao Nai looked at everyone and continued, "Sun Xiang is, after all, a rookie who broke through the rookie wall. His strength is indeed strong. Such a talented player who reached the peak right after debuting joined Excellent Era, which also gave Old Ye hope for Excellent Era's future. In terms of skills, Sun Xiang's performance was indeed excellent. It's a pity that the results in the end were disappointments again and again..."
Xiao Nai then continued with a mocking smile, "In fact, Sun Xiang's performance is still reasonable. After all, he is just a young man who has just debuted. He thinks in many aspects in a simple way and is easily emotional. These are common problems for newcomers. What disappoints Old Ye the most is this team. We failed to give Sun Xiang, a genius, the right guidance in the first place. Otherwise, with Sun Xiang's qualifications, it would not be difficult for him to become the next Fighting God. But what about now? Old Ye did not hesitate to cut off his own arm, but in the end, Excellent Era... you saw it, it was completely wiped out. This is the answer Excellent Era has given Old Ye now..."
At this point, Qiao Jingjing and the others finally understood Ye Xiu's feelings. He was willing to sacrifice everything he could and start all over again, but the result was still regret and disappointment. How could this not be a blow to Ye Xiu, the captain who had led Excellent Era for seven years? You know, even when he was competing with Excellent Era for the dungeon record, Ye Xiu didn't show the expression he has now.
"Uh... then... how about I go and apologize to Old Ye now?" Chen Guo asked weakly. She also realized that there was no difference between her previous words and rubbing against Ye Qiu's wound.
"No need. Old Ye is not as fragile as you think. He can adjust himself. Besides, I'm still here. I'm the deputy captain of Xingxin." Xiao Nai stood up and walked towards the door. At the same time, he waved to the girls, signaling them not to worry.
At this time, Ye Xiu had already arrived at the balcony of the Internet cafe facing Excellent Era. He lit the cigarette in his hand, but did not smoke it. Looking at the floating smoke and the Excellent Era logo behind him, his thoughts also fell into memories. "We are the three consecutive champions!"
"Hey~ The team's performance has been declining, and you refuse to participate in commercial activities. How can you let me retain sponsors?"
"Ye Qiu, the club has decided that the newly transferred Sun Xiang will take over your captaincy. Sun Xiang will also be in charge of One Autumn Leaf from now on."
"If you like, take it as an honor, not a show-off!"
The last memory freezes on Mu Cheng chasing him out and asking him worriedly: "Ye Qiu, is this okay?"
"Sun Xiang has excellent talent. If someone can properly guide him, he might really be able to bring hope to Excellent Era..."
“Huh? What’s going on? This is a panda, and you’re just going to light it without drawing?” Xiao Nai’s voice rang out just as Ye Xiu finished his recollection.
"Excellent Era is finished." Ye Xiu did not respond to Xiao Nai's words, but said calmly.
"I know. That's why I'm depressed now." Xiao Nai leaned against the fence, supporting his head and said in distress.
"Huh?" Ye Xiu looked over with some surprise when he heard Xiao Nai's words. After all, Xiao Nai was not a fan of Excellent Era, and he didn't think Xiao Nai was the kind of person who would worry about Excellent Era.
"Look, if Excellent Era is really eliminated like this, does that mean that we will have to face them when we advance to the Challenge Tournament next year? Facing Excellent Era, it's so troublesome just thinking about it~" Xiao Nai said, scratching his head in frustration.
Ye Xiu: “.”
Very good, my mood was already bad, and now it’s even worse... (End of this chapter)
