Chapter 579: Chapter 558 I Will Make It Win (2nd Update)

Korea. Bai Di had been busy with power trials training recently and hadn’t paid much attention to real-life matters.

Not until he received the news that the Baijian Esports Team was facing the crisis of disbandment.

This news wasn’t sent to him by any team member, but by Heiguo Zhourou during their duo power trials training!

Because the matter had hit Weibo, Twitter, and all major social media platforms worldwide, pretty much everyone except Bai Di knew about it!

The management of Baijian Combat had exploded with scandals, and the corporate backers directly mandated a complete reorganization of the Baijian Esports Team.

As a result, all the players under the banner of the Baijian Esports Team became... free agents.

"Silly, your Baijian Esports Team is having a mega clearance sale. Our boss is asking if you want to come over to Tianchao for a year for ten million... How about trying out a few matches?"

That was the exact phrase Heiguo Zhourou used during the power trials.

Bai Di, of course, declined. To him, this team was everything; without the team, he wouldn’t be himself anymore.

So unless the Baijian Esports Team was thoroughly disbanded, Bai Di would never leave the team!

But when Bai Di woke up from the gaming pod and rushed to the team’s temporary residence...

He truly felt as if the skies had changed, or perhaps he had slept too long inside the Holy Spirit.

Out of the twelve active professional players in the club, everyone had left except for him. When Bai Di arrived at the club, the manager was holding his head, completely on the verge of a breakdown.

"Manager Xiang Tai."

Bai Di walked into the empty club base somewhat at a loss, the only person inside was the manager sitting there, as if he was waiting specifically for Bai Di to arrive.

"Huan Ying, haven’t you found a new team yet? If you’re interested, I can help you contact Samsung Esports Team." The manager stood up and said to Bai Di.

"Samsung Esports Team has already contacted me, and I’ve received offers from other teams in our league as well, as well as from Huaguo’s Dynamic Nucleus and Cola Fever, among others..."

On his way there, Bai Di had received countless calls from professional players of other teams and managers of other teams.

This time, with the Baijian Esports Team super sale, Bai Di was without a doubt the most valuable limited legendary player; other teams would go to any lengths to acquire him, regardless of the cost.

He had been a top player ever since he debuted in Season 2, and even now with the ascension of the Holy Spirit League on the stage, Bai Di was still undeniably the strongest candidate.

"Have you decided on which one to join?"

"Manager, I want to continue with the Baijian Combat." Bai Di said.

The manager seemed to have anticipated Bai Di’s response; his expression was very bitter, but he still began mental coaching with Bai Di.

"Huan Ying, I’m touched and comforted by your deep feelings for the Baijian Esports Team, but the current Baijian Esports Team can no longer accommodate you."

"I can lower my salary in the contract again." Bai Di said.

"It’s not about your contract salary, but that we can’t find players anymore. Our corporate backer has already switched to Samsung Esports Team, and he hopes you will join them too," the manager said helplessly.

"What about the players from the youth training camp if we can’t sign any official players?

Bai Di was very familiar with the series of signing processes for professional players. The young players from the youth training camp were far cheaper than official players. The cheapest ones could even be taken on with contracts as low as around fifty thousand yuan through auctions.

"It’s okay to replace one or two members with promising new players, but Huan Ying! The requirements of the Conflict Professional League state that each team must have at least nine players on the field, and with the recent Spirit League, each team must have at least six! You’re not planning on recruiting all from the youth training camp, are you?" the manager asked.

"We... have no other choice. I have no solution for the Conflict, but in the Spirit League, I’ll try to reach out to those high-ranking solo players," Bai Di began to ponder how to reorganize the fragmented and broken White Sword team.

"There’s no need for that, Huan Ying. Maintaining the empty title of White Sword is meaningless. Even if you assemble a new White Sword team with youth camp players and solo players, what’s the point if they can’t win?"

It seemed that the manager thought Bai Di was merely obsessed with the title "Emperor of White Sword."

"We can win! I will make White Sword team win again! Whether it’s the Conflict League or the Spirit League!"

Bai Di had no intention of giving up. His competitive spirit was stronger than anyone else’s, and he had a dedication to the team that Zhao Mingwei never had.

His affection for the White Sword team had deepened into a symbol; only in the White Sword team could Bai Di truly be the Emperor, and only Bai Di’s White Sword team could truly be the White Sword team!

"I... was planning to retire after finding you a good successor, but since you’re so confident, Huan Ying, let’s all give it another try!" the manager was stirred by Bai Di’s words.

"Thank you. I have only one requirement for the youth camp players: they must have a Spirit account," Bai Di said.

"Ah? Huan Ying, you’ve given me a tough task! Right now, some of the official players from the other teams here don’t have accounts for Spirit, and it seems that activation privileges for this game are easier to obtain for players from Hua country," the manager thought of the qualifications to play Spirit and instantly felt a headache.

"In two days, Spirit will have a big update. It seems they will release a large number of game qualifications. Some of these can be obtained through scoring in a new instance. You go find the youth camp players, and I’ll see if I can get the qualifications," Bai Di said as he checked the latest news on Spirit on his phone, which was headlining the impending major update and the message about the raised level cap.

A new level cap and a brand-new instance! Most importantly, this time the Spirit beta qualifications were open to players worldwide!

Bai Di hadn’t been very interested in Spirit’s mentor-apprentice system before, but now he had no choice but to cultivate those youth camp players through this system.

...

Instance Lord’s residence.

The axe-wielding man weakly lay on the ground, his face the picture of despair.

The Void Erosion that had infected Jiang Qiao had now transferred to him, lasting a whole week.

During this week, the axe-wielding man experienced what it felt like to be so weak he couldn’t even lift a cup of water.

Just when the axe-wielding man felt like he couldn’t hold on any longer, the Void Erosion suddenly receded quickly...

"Does it feel like it’s gone?" the axe-wielding man excitedly got from the ground, but no sooner had he gotten up than Mei, who was watering the flowers in the garden, suddenly fell over.

"Your Majesty?"

In that instant, the axe-wielding man knew something bad had happened. Jiang Qiao appeared beside Queen Mei immediately.

"I’m fine... Agent," Queen Mei had anticipated that one day the Void Corruption would transfer to her. "This disease shouldn’t be fatal, right?"

"Indeed, it’s not fatal, but it could potentially strip your consciousness and transport it to the Void Insect Nest. The axe-wielding man was transported twice during the period of erosion, but with assistance from the other five Knights and us, he barely got through the worst of it."

Jiang Qiao placed his hand on Queen Mei’s forehead. The queen, who outwardly appeared to be only fourteen years old, now had red cheeks, and the fever made her look very fatigued.

"But Your Majesty, I think... the Spirits would be more than willing to serve as your Guardian Knights," Jiang Qiao already had in mind what the new instance and mechanics for the update would be.
