The E-Sports Circle’s Toxic Assembly Camp

Lin Yan called Jing Yuanzhou into the meeting room and turned on the projector. They watched the videos of the first few rounds at a high speed before Lin Yan asked, “Did you find anything?”

Jing Yuanzhou replied without hesitation, “They are very strong.”

This was a high rating from Titans but his expression didn’t look at ease. He frowned slightly. “It is hard to arrange.”

In the public’s impression, it was natural to hope that the team they supported would have absolutely strong players. However, there had never been a team that achieved a configuration of full top players.

The reason wasn’t a lack of funds. The main problem was the allocation of resources.

Depending on the core of each team’s combat style, the allocation of resources would naturally be different. For example, the BK team that Jing Yuanzhou played for previously was completely based on his lane.

It was normal for weaker players to give the top players money. However, if all players were strong then this balance was obviously difficult to grasp. After all, no player with absolute ability was willing to be a background board for others. During the transfer period every year, many players chose to be listed because they weren’t satisfied with their treatment in the team.

In GH’s current situation, all the teams encountered just now were weak and could be crushed uniformly. However, what if they encountered slightly stronger teams? If the entire economy was evenly distributed then problems would easily be exposed. At this time, the existence of a core became crucial.

Both Lin Yan and Jing Yuanzhou knew this but they also knew it was a cruel thing for talented players to sacrifice one’s economy to satisfy the team. These young players were carefully selected by them so they were less willing to deprive these players of the opportunity to show their talents.

Lin Yan was a person who cherished talent so he had been thinking seriously about this issue all night. Now he obviously had an idea.

He heard Jing Yuanzhou’s words and his mouth twitched. “If it isn’t difficult to arrange, why would I need to do this as a coach?”

He took out his notebook, turned to a page and pushed it to Jing Yuanzhou. “Look at this.”

Jing Yuanzhou saw the ten or so densely listed plans instantly and was slightly taken aback. “These are all your thoughts from tonight?”

“Yes, it is just a part of it. I have to go back and carefully set it out.” Lin Yan took out a pen and made a few quick circles in the book. “I think that in the present situation, these three options will be a bit more appropriate.”

His hair fell slightly and his smile became more wanton. “Who stipulates that a team must have someone sacrifice themselves? Since everyone has the strength to be a core, it is okay to let everyone become GH’s core. Captain Jing, what do you think?”

His tone slowly stretched out and the expression in Jing Yuanzhou’s eyes shook slightly. He had to say that such an ideal was like reaching for the sky but if it was truly realized, it would undoubtedly make people realize true invincibility. It was crazy but enough to make people excited.

There was a brief silence before Jing Yuanzhou’s lips curved up slightly. “Yes, you are right.”

It was unknown why but Lin Yan always found the coaxing attitude in this low voice particularly useful. He bowed his head seriously and wrote a few more remarks. “Then it’s decided. I’ll work out a specific training plan when I go back tonight. I have to ask them to at least familiarize themselves with these routines before the show starts recording.”

Jing Yuanzhou reminded him. “It is only a few days away.”

Lin Yan waved his hand. “Don’t worry, time can always be squeezed out. They are young, full of energy and have good physical strength. I will ask Luo Mo to pay more attention to nutrition. It won’t be so easy for them to collapse.”

Jing Yuanzhou thought about it before nodding. “That’s fine. Then I will try to satisfy you…”

Lin Yan raised his eyebrow.

Jing Yuanzhou gave a low chuckle. “…Arrangements.”

No one thought that GH’s first closed training would begin without warning. It was a week after receiving the notice from the Burning Hot Assembly show that the closed gate of the GH base was opened again.

In the morning, the arranged official staff member was waiting early at the door of the GH Club. After a while, a few figures could be seen in the distance.

Jian Ye looked up at the sky in a confused manner. “Ah, this is sunshine…”

Chen Yushen’s face was even stinkier than normal. “Sleepy.”

Gu Luo’s body shook with every step. “I feel like I’m currently a balloon… do you feel that way?”

Bi Yaohua cursed in a low voice. “Fuck, I feel like I’ve become 10 years older in the past few days.”

The cameraman brother had set up the camera in the blink of an eye. Once the lenses were focused, he was shocked by the deep circles under the eyes of the GH members.

His mind hadn’t returned when Bi Yaohua, who was in the front, gave him a big hug. “Thank you program group for saving us from our misery. You are really our saviours!”

Then after the hug, he entered the car and directly fell asleep. Immediately afterwards, the others also squeezed into the car with empty eyes. In just a few seconds, snoring could be faintly heard.

The cameraman was frozen by this strange scene and wasn’t sure whether to continue shooting or not. By this time, Jing Yuanzhou had come to him and patted him on the shoulder. “You’ve worked hard. Our team members have just finished closed training and they are a bit tired. Let’s make up for it later.”

The cameraman, “Eh? Ah… okay.”

He slowly put the camera away and couldn’t help glancing at the sleeping people in the car. This was the end of training? What type of devil training could make people like this?

Lin Yan was the last one to get on the vehicle. The moment the door closed, the business car officially set off. He sat in the front passenger’s seat and glanced at the ‘sea of corpses’ through the rearview mirror, shaking his head helplessly. “Still too weak! This physical strength isn’t good. It is such a good age. How can they be so weak?”

Jing Yuanzhou was the only one in the car who was still in a good condition and he laughed. “This is the first time it has lasted so long. They probably aren’t used to it. They will get used to it after a few more times.”

Lin Yan accepted it with some difficulty. Then he glanced sideways at Jing Yuanzhou and spoke sincerely. “I have to say Titans, after trying it, you still have the best physical strength.”

“Yes, as long as you’re satisfied.”

The driver in the driver’s seat felt his foot shaking and he almost stepped on the accelerator. GH was actually so exciting? Were they really prepared to let this be recorded?

The program group had arranged a five-star hotel for them. This treatment could be called very good.

GH got out of the car with sleepy eyes and saw a staff member running over to look at them. “Hello, can I get someone to come with me to check in?”

Lin Yan glanced at them and sighed. “I’m going.”

Hearing his words, the others took out their ID cards. Once it was Jing Yuanzhou’s turn, he thought about it before saying, “I’ll go with you.”

Lin Yan had no opinion on this and nodded. He let Luo Mo take the players to the lounge first while he went with Jing Yuanzhou to the lobby to check in. Today happened to be the day when all the teams participating in the show were gathered. Along the way, they saw many players in various uniforms.

Lin Yan was an outsider and no one knew him, but Jing Yuanzhou was like a mobile signboard that attracted a lot of attention. Players in the sub-leagues were looking forward to an opportunity every day. Many people naturally regarded the top players in the professional league as their idols and always paid great attention to them.

Now they actually saw Jing Yuanzhou. They didn’t dare rush up to talk to him but they talked excitedly amongst themselves. From time to time, a few words would pierce their ears and someone would inevitably feel sour.

Lin Yan frowned and couldn’t help glancing at Jing Yuanzhou. After a while, he glanced over again.

Jing Yuanzhou saw his movements and was amused. “What are you looking at?”

Lin Yan smiled. “Looking at your good appearance.”

Jing Yuanzhou followed his words with a smile as he responded calmly, “Yes, you look good too.”

The two of them got their room cards from the front desk and went to the lounge where the GH people were waiting.

Since they had just finished the devilish closed training a while ago, Lin Yan considered the team’s mental state when recording the show and wondered, “Tell me, was I a bit too cruel? Should I take them out tonight to relax?”

Jing Yuanzhou told him, “I think they would be more willing to sleep in their rooms.”

Lin Yan smiled. “It seems so.”

As they spoke, they passed around a corner. Lin Yan inadvertently raised his head and paused slightly when he saw something. “Gun Zai and Abyss? What are they doing here?”

Jing Yuanzhou followed his gaze. “The opposite team uniform seems to belong to the ZX Team.”

Based on this angle, the two sides could be standing on opposite sides of the corridor. It should be an accidental meeting. It might seem like a meeting of old acquaintances but the atmosphere at the scene was obviously tense.

Just then, someone on the ZX Team laughed softly. “Abyss? What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Calculating it carefully, we haven’t seen each other for two years, right?”

Chen Yushen’s expression sank to the bottom in an instant.
