Chapter 223: Recruiting Talent

After a discussion among the team members, they all agreed that they could sign Breeze. Now, the only thing left to solve was Breeze's situation.

Breeze had been mocked by everyone because of his erratic driving performance.

[I thought he was so great. Now he's being put up for sale at such a high price. I don't think anyone will buy him.]

[I really feel sorry for this guy. He entered the league full of expectations but was matched with four useless teammates. His teammates had no choice but to play a four - protect - one strategy. Now that strategy doesn't work, and he's being sold at such a high price. I think his old team is out to ruin his career.]

[Even if someone is rich enough to buy him, it might be too late. It's the middle of the season, and it's almost the crucial stage. Even if they sign the number one mage in the league, it will take time for training, time for team - building, and time to develop new strategies. He probably won't have a chance to play in this competition.]

[Let's go to Breeze's Weibo and show our support!]

Everyone went to Breeze's Weibo to show their support. The last Weibo he posted was an encouraging one the night before the 11 - to - 8 round.

The picture he posted showed him smiling. In contrast to his current situation, it was really ironic.

Early the next morning, Ji Siyue packed her things and documents and headed straight for the Minghe headquarters.

The manager knew that Ji Siyue wanted to buy Breeze and guessed that she was determined. He just regretted not raising the price even more.

"I understand what you mean, Miss Ji. But I'm afraid it's too late for me to sell even if I want to. Since I put him up for sale, Breeze has been in a depressed mood. He's locked himself in his room and hasn't eaten for a whole day. If you can persuade him to come out, I'll sign the contract right away."

Ji Siyue: "Okay."

The Minghe headquarters was very large, but the area for the game team of Sanction was quite small. There were only three dorm rooms and one training room. Meetings were always held in the training room.

Since he was once the core of the team, the manager had arranged a single room for him. The other four teammates lived two in each room.

When Ji Siyue arrived, the other four teammates were packing their things. When they saw Ji Siyue, they made some sarcastic remarks out of resentment.

This was inevitable, and Ji Siyue had expected it. So she didn't take it to heart and just focused on Breeze.

Breeze's door was slightly ajar. In this situation, even if the door was open, no one would probably go in voluntarily.

As soon as the door was opened, the person sitting inside said coldly, "Get out."

"I haven't even sat down yet. Aren't you curious about what I'm here for?"

Hearing Ji Siyue's voice, he seemed a bit surprised, but there was no trace of surprise in his eyes when he turned around.

"So it's Miss Ji."

"We know each other. You can just call me Siyue. Calling me Miss Ji makes us seem so distant."

"We don't have a deep relationship anyway."

Breeze was so straightforward, but Ji Siyue didn't feel uncomfortable. After all, he was telling the truth. Their relationship was just that she once wanted to sign him, but he declined because he couldn't let go of this team.

But it was good this way. Talking to a straightforward person could save a lot of trouble.

"I want to sign you to our GH. What do you think, Mr. Liu?"

Breeze's real name was Liu Weifeng. But because he looked fair - skinned, his stage name was more well - known.

Liu Weifeng looked at Ji Siyue and said, "Even after all this, you still haven't given up the idea of signing me?"

"We didn't give up. We had this idea ever since you rejected us last time. It's just resurfaced this time."

"Signing me now is not a wise choice. You should know what I mean." Liu Weifeng was not moved at all. Obviously, he didn't believe Ji Siyue's words. Or rather, he didn't want to believe.

His reaction was also expected by Ji Siyue.

"I know. It's the middle of the season, and adding a new player to train with us will greatly increase the difficulty, and the effect may also be greatly reduced. We've thought about all these."

"You still came after thinking about it?"

"Precisely because we've thought it through, I'm here. Let me show you something." Ji Siyue took out her laptop from her bag, opened the file in it, and listed all the line - ups that her team had used in this competition and all the line - ups they had prepared.

Liu Weifeng was really surprised after seeing it.

Other teams usually decided their line - ups temporarily based on their own strength and the opponent's. They mainly focused on team - building on a daily basis. But the file Ji Siyue showed him recorded more than 160 line - ups, and each line - up was followed by a detailed explanation and the number of training sessions.

Each line - up had been trained for more than 50 times, which showed how dedicated this team was.

After seeing these, Ji Siyue closed the laptop temporarily and said, "My team members always ask me to increase the bonus because our training method is different from others. Other teams mainly focus on cooperation and decide the line - up temporarily. But our team is different. Because we're in the spotlight and for many other reasons, we have to use the most stupid method to ensure everything goes smoothly. Now, look at this."

Ji Siyue took out her phone. "I prepared this last night. You're mainly a mage player. I've summarized 18 line - ups that are most suitable for you based on your performance in previous seasons. These 18 line - ups may increase our chances of winning the championship. People say that if you only play the game to win the championship, you lose the spirit of competition. I think so too. But competition means competing for the highest rank. Even if you don't come, we still have a great chance of winning. But if you come, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. You've been put up for sale, and the team has been disbanded. I know you have a dream in the league, and we're the same kind of people. That's why I've come here several times. Do you want to join us and win the championship?"

...

At the training base.

Although everyone was training their skills in front of the computer, their minds had unconsciously drifted elsewhere.
