Chapter 13 Summoning the Original Excellent Era Players
After Cui Li left, Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng led Su Muqiu on a tour of the Excellent Era building to familiarize them with the environment.
The three of them strolled around and inadvertently ended up in the showroom of the Excellent Era Club.
Looking at the densely packed trophies and medals in the exhibition hall, Su Muqiu couldn't help but think of the original Excellent Era players: "What are Feng and the others doing?"
I've been back for two days and haven't seen a single player from the original Excellent Era. That's pretty strange.
Ye Xiu started counting on his fingers: "After winning three consecutive championships, Brother Feng retired gracefully and has now settled abroad."
"Qin Tianran and Xia Ming got married and are now enjoying their time together."
"I don't know what Xue Mingkai and Yin Xiong have gone off to; I haven't contacted them in a long time."
Su Muqiu asked curiously, "You've fallen to this state, why don't you contact them?"
Ye Xiu's face showed an embarrassed expression: "I lost Excellent Era, and then I personally crushed them. How can I face them?"
Su Muqiu rolled his eyes, indicating he had nothing to say. He took out the phone Su Mucheng had bought for him, downloaded QQ, and logged into the QQ account he used back then.
Fortunately, even after nine years of not logging in, QQ was still working, and all the data was intact.
Upon opening the original Excellent Era's QQ group, Qiu Musu wrote: "@Everyone, I'm back."
These four words were like a pebble dropped into a calm pond, quickly creating ripples.
Soon, someone replied in the group.
Cangtian: "Little Mucheng, stop making a fuss. Don't use your brother's QQ account to make yourself cry. I know you're upset because Excellent Era is gone. Come here, I'll make you something delicious."
The law is impartial: "And your natural-born brother also buys you delicious food."
Su Mucheng giggled, took out her phone, and started replying to messages. Mu Yuchengfeng: "I'm here. That QQ account wasn't logged into by me. Brother is really back."
Qi Chongyunshui: "Little Mucheng, you're so naughty, playing on two QQ accounts. Be careful your brother finds out, he'll come to you in your dreams tonight."
Su Mucheng stopped smiling, pouted, and remained silent.
Over the past nine years, she has dreamed of her brother countless times, waking up with a smile each time and falling asleep crying.
Helpless, Su Muqiu turned on voice messaging and sent a voice message: "I'm back!"
The next moment, the group chat suddenly exploded.
"Holy crap!!!!"
"That really is Mu Qiu's voice!"
"It's come back to life!!!!"
"It's over!!!!"
"Quickly, go and invite the Buddha!"
"..."
"Why would you invite the Buddha? You should invite a Taoist priest from Maoshan!"
"Mu Cheng, go to Nanshan Cemetery quickly and see if your brother's grave is still there."
Wu Xuefeng and the others had typing speeds far exceeding those of ordinary people, their typing speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, seventy or eighty group messages appeared, so many that Su Mucheng and Su Muqiu couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only type a few ellipses.
Mu Yu Cheng Feng: "..."
A few minutes later, the messages flooding the group stopped because Su Muqiu had created a group voice call.
Once the voice call connected, Su Muqiu briefly recounted his exploits of traversing two realms and returning.
Upon hearing such an outrageous story, Wu Xuefeng and the others gasped in astonishment many times.
Finally, Su Muqiu said, "Now that I'm in charge of Excellent Era, I need your help."
Qi Chongyunshui: "Alright, Mu Qiu has issued a call to arms for the martial arts world. I await the order and will buy a plane ticket to return home immediately."
Heaven: "As you command."
The law shows no mercy: "By order."
Darkness reigns: "Understood."
Zhiying: "Understood."
"Although we're old and can't play in the professional league anymore, we can still support Excellent Era. Let us old bones fight one more round for Excellent Era."
"Let's fight another round."
"Let's fight another round."
"Let's fight another round."
"Let's fight another round."
Qiu Musu: "I'll be waiting for you at Excellent Era."
After sending the last message, Su Muqiu put away his phone.
Ye Xiu didn't have a phone, so he could only keep looking at Su Mucheng's phone screen. Seeing this, Ye Xiu became a little emotional: "This is so exciting! I really want to fight another round with you guys."
Su Muqiu pouted: "Then you do it!"
"Uh." Ye Xiu shook his head: "The battle of Excellent Era now belongs to you, not to me. I have my own post and my own commitments to uphold."
"Heh, what's the point of you talking if you're not coming?" Su Muqiu mocked, his face close to hers.
This was the way the two of them used to interact many years ago: teasing and joking with each other.
Ye Xiu glared, about to lash out, when he suddenly saw Su Muqiu's taut muscles and immediately gave in.
Times have changed; things are not what they used to be.
Ye Xiu received rigorous training at home when he was young, so his physical condition was excellent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his peak performance for so many years. Back then, Su Muqiu was thin and small due to years of malnutrition, with hardly any muscle on his body.
The two are vastly different in terms of physical strength, and Ye Xiu is also slightly stronger in terms of Glory.
Nine years later, the balance of power between the two sides had completely reversed.
Ye Xiu hasn't undergone rigorous training in the past nine years; he's done plenty of things that are harmful to his health, like staying up all night. His once robust physique is no longer visible; in its place is a slightly overweight young man.
The physical gap between the two is now ridiculously large. Su Muqiu doesn't even need to lift a finger; his mere aura is enough to overwhelm Ye Xiu.
"So what if you're big?" Ye Xiu muttered.
"Being big doesn't mean you're anything special, do you disagree?" Su Muqiu flexed his muscles.
Ye Xiu rolled his eyes, grabbed Mu Cheng, and said, "Let's go, the boss is calling us for lunch."
Su Mucheng quickly grabbed her brother's hand: "Brother, let's go get a free meal together."
-----------------
We had lunch at the apartment that Happy Rent rented in Shanglin Garden.
Chen Guo had a table of food delivered from the small restaurant downstairs. The large table in the living room was set up, and more than a dozen people sat around it to eat.
"Is the handover complete?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yes, the handover is complete," Su Muqiu replied.
"That's great." Chen Guo beamed. "Excellent Era is back. They've really disgusted me these past two years."
Chen Guo became a fan of Excellent Era starting from the fourth season.
Chen Guo became a huge fan of Su Mucheng as soon as she debuted, and also became a fan of Team Excellent Era.
To Chen Guo's utter surprise, Excellent Era made a series of blunders, first destroying their own foundation and then demoting themselves.
The series of actions really disgusted Chen Guo.
Su Muqiu looked at Tang Rou and said, "Thank you for lending me the money. I will pay you back when Excellent Era makes money in the future."
"Okay," Tang Rou replied.
She was a very tactful girl; she didn't say anything discouraging like not having to pay back the money, because that would be insulting. Instead, she changed the subject: "Brother Muqiu, what are you planning to do with the players from Excellent Era?"
"I don't know either." Su Muqiu shook his head, indicating that he hadn't thought about it yet.
"I've only been back for two days, and I don't know much about the Glory League and Challenger Tournament yet. I don't have any clue what to do."
"I do have someone in mind," Chen Guo said.
Su Muqiu's eyes lit up: "Boss Chen, please speak."
Chen Guo said, "During the Spring Festival, a distant relative contacted me, saying that they had a child who hadn't taken the high school entrance exam yet. He was probably my cousin, and he was pretty good at playing Honor of Kings. The kid was determined to play in the professional league. He heard that I had started a team, so he asked if I could send him over."
