That Xiao Shou Bing Liang was direct, cutting right to the chase without any preamble. And that truth was exactly what Ye Xiu wanted to subtly conceal from Chen Guo. Getting exposed right away made Chen Guo extremely embarrassed, and she couldn't come up with a response for a moment, turning her head to look at Ye Xiu in frustration.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiu asked.

"He saw through it," Chen Guo said.

"Oh?" Ye Xiu didn't seem too surprised. "What did he say?"

"Now it's my turn to speak," Chen Guo said.

"Say whatever you need to say!" Ye Xiu said.

So Chen Guo also showed her straightforward side, admitting frankly, "Yes."

"Oh, then this team has a little promise," Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

Chen Guo was a bit confused for a moment. When they started talking about that "Holy Heal" technique, this guy seemed quite humble. But now this sentence had a hint of arrogance. How could a team with Ye Qiu be described as having "a little promise"?

"That Invincible Most Handsome, is he Ye Qiu?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang asked more thoroughly.

Chen Guo turned her head to look at Ye Xiu again. "He's asking about Invincible Most Handsome!"

Ye Xiu nodded, and Chen Guo replied, "Yes."

"What's your purpose for infiltrating our Tyrannical Ambition?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang continued to ask.

Now he had a condescending tone again. Chen Guo, being a girl, didn't like being pushed around. Xiao Shou Bing Liang was humble and polite, and she immediately liked him. But now that he was acting aloof, she immediately became annoyed with him. If she said that Ye Xiu specifically wanted to find a healer and ended up choosing him, wouldn't that make this guy too pleased with himself? So Chen Guo simply made up a story, "No purpose, just using a smurf to practice some skills."

"Practice skills? At Ye Qiu's level, what skills can he practice in a guild's mid-level team?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang easily saw through her lie. Chen Guo was frustrated and looked at Ye Xiu, who was shaking his head, showing his contempt for her nonsense.

"Anyway, I just think your level is pretty good. How about it? Are you interested in joining us?" Chen Guo didn't care anymore. She actually preferred this straightforward approach. If he wanted to come, he would come; if he didn't want to come, he wouldn't come. Wouldn't it be over with a quick answer? Why beat around the bush so much? Anyway, everything was out in the open now.

"If it's really Ye Qiu, then I might be a bit interested," Xiao Shou Bing Liang said, "But you're not using his name to bluff, are you?"

When Chen Guo saw that the other party was actually doubting her, she nearly fainted, but she still considered that this was a serious matter and didn't directly show her ferocity, patiently continuing to say, "It's true. Didn't you guess it from the beginning?"

"Then where is he? Why didn't he come in person?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"Isn't it because we're afraid you're a Tyranny fan and have some resistance to his background as a God of Excellent Era?" Chen Guo said seriously.

"Oh, that's true. But sending you isn't very clever either. Many people know that your character is related to Ye Qiu!" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"Yes, yes, yes, we were too careless, but anyway, classmate, you already know. Do you want to join? Give us a definite answer!" Chen Guo said.

"Is it that easy?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said with great surprise, "If I team up with Ye Qiu, then the goal isn't just to play casually, right? It must be aiming for the professional league, right? Aiming for the professional league means I have to be a professional player, right? This is an important decision in life. Do you expect me to give you an accurate answer rashly in these one or two seconds?"

This series of questions left Chen Guo speechless. After a long silence, she said weakly, "Then think about it. I'll wait for your reply at any time."

"Just let me think about it like this?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang continued to ask in surprise.

"Then what else do you want?" Chen Guo asked.

"You should at least introduce your situation and plans, right? For example, the composition of other personnel besides Ye Qiu. For example, how much will the team be invested in? What is the direction and goal of development? What is the level of compensation? How many years will the contract be for? Is there a 'three insurances and one fund' or a 'five insurances and one fund'? Is room and board included?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang followed up with a series of questions.

This time, Chen Guo didn't feel any resentment. She also seriously realized that she and Xiao Shou Bing Liang were discussing a very serious and important matter. But she was acting as casually as if she were pulling someone into a dungeon in an online game.

"Okay!" Chen Guo also straightened her attitude, "Our team is led by Ye Qiu and is currently in the preparation stage. We will sign up for the Challenger League next season and then strive to enter the professional alliance. As for personnel, we are still working on it in many ways. As for investment, I am the investor. Regarding compensation, if you really have this intention, we can sit down and talk slowly. Are you satisfied now?"

"Oh? You are the investor? That is… the boss?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang asked.

"More or less!" Chen Guo answered a little bit uncertainly, because she increasingly realized that in today's Glory Alliance, taking responsibility for a team was not an easy task, and she was not sure if she could really do it on her own.

"More or less? What kind of concept is that?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang keenly grasped this point.

"It means that at this stage, I am the only investor," Chen Guo said.

"Are you saying that in the future, there may be other people who become shareholders, or are you actually completely uncertain about this issue, so you have such a vague answer?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"Okay! I'm not sure. We are still in the initial stage of forming a team, and there are too many issues that are not yet confirmed," Chen Guo said.

"And you just said that you want to win the qualification through the Challenger League? From this point of view, your assets are also quite limited, and you have no confidence in going through another review process. But in the Challenger League, even with a God like Ye Qiu, it doesn't guarantee that we will definitely reach the end. After all, there must be two professional teams that were relegated last season participating in the Challenger League, right? In this situation, how would you agree on the compensation for the team members? Is everyone just a semi-professional with attached clauses first? If you can enter the alliance in the Challenger League, it will automatically turn into a professional contract; if you can't, it will automatically terminate, and everyone will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers?"

Xiao Shou Bing Liang threw out a bunch of questions again, all of which Chen Guo hadn't seriously considered before. For a moment, she couldn't parry at all. After hesitating for a long time, she gave another vague answer, "These are still under discussion. The specific situation can be discussed by everyone at that time."

"Oh, another uncertainty. You really don't confirm any of the questions. Sister, are you going to tell me next that if I have this intention, I should first pay you a deposit of three to five hundred yuan? If that's the case, I won't have any doubts about your identity," Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"Of course not…" Chen Guo was also depressed, but she couldn't blame the other party, because their team really didn't have a proper plan so far, and Chen Guo didn't know what Ye Xiu's plans were at all. She really couldn't say one, two, three, or four, and she was afraid that Xiao Shou Bing Liang would ask her something again, so she decisively raised the white flag: "Actually, the direction of team formation is mainly Ye Qiu's responsibility. If you want to know these situations, I'll find him to talk to you!"

"Isn't it? You don't have any ideas yourself? You're too confused to be an investor, right? You just throw everything to Ye Qiu? Could he be your relative?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang still asked.

"Ask him, ask him…" Chen Guo could only say these few words, and she dragged Ye Xiu, who was beside her, over fiercely, "You go and talk to him!"

"What should I say?" Ye Xiu asked.

"The team's planning, the composition of personnel, the amount of investment, whether to sign a contract, what kind of contract to sign, whether there is 'three insurances and one fund', whether room and board is included, and also, whether you and I are relatives," Chen Guo repeated expressionlessly. She was indeed about to be driven crazy.

"Hahaha, this guy is considering it very carefully!" Ye Xiu was still laughing, but he had already taken the headset from Chen Guo.

"Just hang it up! I want to listen too," Chen Guo said.

"Why don't you just get me an external speaker? You don't have to work so hard," Ye Xiu said.

"I'm afraid of being disturbed!" Chen Guo said.

As he spoke, Ye Xiu had already put the microphone to his mouth and said, "Hello, hello" a few times.

"Ye Qiu?" the other side asked.

"Yes, it's me, it's me. I heard you have a lot of questions!" Ye Xiu said.

"Well, let me ask first, the one who chose me was actually you, not that silly woman, right?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

Ye Xiu glanced innocently at Chen Guo, who was on the side, and found that Chen Guo didn't have the strength to get angry at all, because she also felt that she was indeed quite idiotic in front of Xiao Shou Bing Liang just now.

"Oh, it was indeed me who discovered you. Also, that silly woman you mentioned is not my relative. She will be our boss," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh? So silly. It should be easy to swindle her money, right? Is that why you chose her to invest?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"I forgot to tell you, she can hear everything we're saying now," Ye Xiu said helplessly.

"…" Silence. Xiao Shou Bing Liang, who had been talking non-stop with many questions, was also rarely speechless for a while, and then opened his mouth: "Boss, hello. I hope that after hearing my reminder, you can realize that there are risks in the Challenger League, and investment should be cautious."

"I thank you," Chen Guo said, tears streaming down her face.

"Then let's get back to the topic. Please introduce the current situation of this newly formed team!" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"The situation is the same as what the boss said just now. It's still full of uncertainties. Perhaps if we can't find enough members before the Challenger League, then everything will be in vain," Ye Xiu said.

"Is this the worst result in your mind?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang said.

"That's right."

"Then even if you can form a team, are you so confident about the Challenger League?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang asked.

"As long as it's a competition, no one dares to say they have a 100% certainty of winning. However, a team like ours that is pieced together needs the testing of the Challenger League. If even the Challenger League can't have an exciting performance, then such a team entering the alliance is just a vacation. Entering the alliance in the form of a Challenger League is not to make the investor bear unstable risks; this is being responsible to the investor," Ye Xiu said.

"You mean, the purpose of the Challenger League is actually to test the quality and value of this team?" Xiao Shou Bing Liang asked.

"That's right. The only one who really needs to bear the risk of relegation is just me personally. As long as you have outstanding performances, the Challenger League will help you fight for enough future," Ye Xiu said.
