-Contact us if there's any further info. -Remember.
-Keep in touch with us. -We will.
-Bye. -Bye!
So you met with Jade Dynasty players to buy materials?
Yes.
Happy didn't have enough Silver equipments.
I wanted to surprise all of you.
Why didn't you tell us back then?
We should obey the leader no matter what happens.
Keeping you all on an even keel
is more important than me competing.
Where did you go after the competition?
To save Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
The final was coming. Time was running out.
I visited many teams and guilds in a short time.
I managed to get some basic materials.
Hopefully, they're useful.
Do you think they're coming back?
Ms. Chen.
All professional players will face this crossroad of choices.
I've made my choice.
It's their turn now.
What we can do now is give them more space
and give Captain more time.
HAPPY INTERNET CAFE
They will be back.
They won't.
They will be back.
They won't.
They will be back.
They won't.
I'm Ye Xiu, a professional eSportsman.
I'm applying to be the captain of Team Happy.
Nice to meet you. I am--
The manager of Team Happy.
I look forward to working with you.
We are a team.
When we encounter any difficulties, why can't we face them together?
A candy for you to make you feel sweet and happier.
Or eat a lemon?
Its sourness can make you forget all your problems.
Relax.
Be stable. Don't fight head-on.
I got your back.
It's okay.
Fighting!
Tonight is the press conference of Night of Glory.
By convention, both teams which qualified for the final of the league
will show up tonight.
However, the rumor of Team Happy has disbanded is widely spread.
Tonight, we'll find out the truth.
Ms. Chen.
It's already half-past three.
Team Excellent Era across the street has probably set out.
Are we going to attend the press conference
of Night of Glory tonight?
Yes.
We have to go.
Even if I am the only one left, I'll still go.
-About the last match... -How was it?
Is Team Excellent Era ready for the final?
We're already well-prepared.
As for the championship, we're hell-bent on winning.
What about the condition of your team right now?
Every teammate is in good condition.
Don't ask too many questions later, okay?
How is that possible?
-I have many questions to ask. -Didn't we reach a consensus?
Hold on!
What's the actual situation of Team Happy now?
Don't you think it's unfair if you deceive the public?
Today, we are here to apologize to all of you.
We have disappointed everyone in the last match.
It's not because of the outcome,
but our poor performance in the match.
On behalf of the team, I apologize to you all.
Cheer up, Team Happy!
Furthermore,
thanks to our fans who have been with Team Happy all the way.
As a newly-established team, we are immature in many areas.
Your company is highly cherished.
You're the spark of Team Happy.
Team Happy will keep fighting.
Thank you.
-Wait a second. -Hold on!
-Please answer! -Answer our question! Wait!
-We have more questions. -Please reply.
-Where's Captain Ye? -Tell us more!
That's enough.
Where's Ye Qiu?
Ye Qiu?
Let's go in together.
Excuse me!
Thank you. Excuse me.
Thanks.
Welcome to the press conference of the peak battle.
I'm Xiao Luo.
Today, we'll see the lineups of the two teams in the final.
First, let's welcome Team Excellent Era
which is a wealthy and influential team that
has won three consecutive championships and started the Glory dynasty.
The captain, One Autumn Leaf, Sun Xiang.
Life Extinguisher, Xiao Shiqin.
Combat Form, Qiu Fei.
Dancing Rain, Su Mucheng.
Woven Shadow, Zhang Jiaxing.
Successive Strike, Shen Jian.
Emotionless Magic, He Ming.
Matchstick, Wang Ze.
Qi Breaker, Guo Yang.
Now, let's invite the captain of Team Excellent Era, Sun Xiang, up onstage
to make his final manifesto.
THE NIGHT OF FINAL BATTLE
Facing the competition, I have only one choice.
That is to defeat our rival.
In the final,
the winner will be Team Excellent Era.
Well, after listening to Captain Sun making his manifesto confidently,
we're going to release the character information of another team.
This is a very new team.
But in Challengers League,
they have overcome all the difficulties along the way
and gotten into the final.
This team is Happy.
This new team has a lot of talents.
Well next,
let's announce the battle array of Team Happy.
It seems Team Happy is really in trouble now.
Or else, there won't be just one player.
With only one player, are they still going to play in the league?
Please let me announce the lineup of Team Happy.
THE NIGHT OF FINAL BATTLE PRESS CONFERENCE OF THE PEAK BATTLE
Before announcing the characters,
I have a few words to say.
It might not be related to the final.
If it's not what you would like to hear, please bear with me.
Captain Sun just said that he has only one choice.
I'd like to say
that the result of a competition is just a win or a loss,
but life is not the same.
We can have lots of choices in our lives.
Some can choose to be a stunning pianist,
a university teacher cultivating students,
or a white-collar in finance industry with considerable income.
To choose a more promising future or an uncertain today?
These countless choices will lead to countless possibilities.
Each would lead to a wonderful life.
ESports is just one of the possibilities among them.
There's no big difference between that and every other profession.
If there is,
then it might be
that we are always misapprehended by others
as internet addicts without a proper job.
Many years ago,
I had to make such a choice too.
But you'll find out
that although you chose Glory,
you would still have more choices to make.
No matter what choice you make eventually,
it has nothing to do with right and wrong
as long as you follow your heart.
And today,
just on behalf of myself,
I made my choice.
Team Happy.
Lord Grim.
Are they really not coming?
Right.
How will the league continue?
TEAM HAPPY, THE NIGHT OF FINAL BATTLE
Warlock of Team Happy, Windward Formation.
Battle Mage of Team Happy, Soft Mist.
Cleric of Team Happy, Little Cold Hands.
Phantom Demon of Team Happy, One Inch Ash.
Ninja of Team Happy, Deception.
Summoner of Team Happy, Concealed Light.
Team Happy's Brawler, Steamed Bun Invasion.
Launcher of Team Happy, Dawn Rifle.
The entire Team Happy
is here.
TEAM HAPPY
We were so cool just now.
We were the surprise at the press conference.
Good job!
The timing was just right without a second of error.
Hey, have a seat.
I have something to tell you.
It's said that Wei Chen sold his account for a lot of money.
Of course having money is good.
However,
we'd better skimp on avoidable costs.
And a cup free from breaking is a cup saved.
It's plastic. For you.
Who told you I sold my account?
Mr. Wei, may we have a happy collaboration.
Hey, Mr. Wei. It's mine now.
You...
Go!
What about Captain Ye?
Do only two of you attend this press conference today?
Right, why are they not here?
It has been ten years since I first got my account.
I can sell anything but it.
Little Tang.
This cup is suitable for you.
I heard you have gone back to the band and started your new life.
Ma'am.
Can I play it again?
Now, I'm finally not afraid of starting all over again.
I'm not afraid of making mistakes.
I completed that piano music that I failed to perform that year.
When the last note finished,
my decision was already made.
I just passed by and watched a show.
What about you, Mo Fan?
I just stayed at the crossing.
An Wenyi and Luo Ji, what about you?
I didn't see you come back.
I just went back to the campus to cover a class for my professor.
Gosh.
I just recalled that the last digit of the decimals I wrote was wrong.
An Wenyi, what about you?
Me?
RESUME, AN WENYI
EMPLOYER: TEAM HAPPY JOB: ESPORTS PLAYER
HOBBY: GLORY STRENGTH: HEALING
Help me take a look. How should I fill this in?
You should write it here.
Here.
I was so busy rejecting all kinds of offers.
I see.
Right. Yifan, what did you do?
I was staying with you all the time.
Yifan, quick. Give me that cup.
I have more things about Wei Chen to tell.
-Buddy! -Here.
-Here you are. -There's nothing!
-There's something! -Nothing!
Here are your presents.
-What kind of presents? -Have a look.
Let's have a look.
What are these for?
Cups?
They are specially customized.
They are anti-slip, shatterproof, and can prevent conflicts.
That's good. I like it.
All right. Now you've got the present.
What's your plan next?
-Repair the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella. -Repair the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
Fight for the final.
DISMANTLE BLUE-WHITE CRYSTALS?
To repair Myriad Manifestation Umbrella, we must start from damaging it.
Previously, I gathered those rare materials one by one for upgrade.
And now, we have to use the same method to dismantle all materials off the axle.
No detail can be ignored.
Every material should be checked
until the problem is discovered.
MYRIAD MANIFESTATION UMBRELLA DATA ERROR: 0
UPGRADE, LEVEL 16
DISMANTLED TO TEMPLATE MODE. CONTINUE?
Captain.
Shall we continue to dismantle it?
Now it has been dismantled to its original template of level five.
If we go on dismantling,
there will be nothing left but the axle.
An axle means nothing.
It's back to its original form?
In fact, after dismantling it for so long, you know very well what the problem is.
What a stupid mistake!
Even a genius can't avoid making mistakes.
So what do you think we should do now?
I'll tell you.
Don't be too reluctant to tear it asunder.
No matter how it changes and what it becomes,
as long as its name is not changed, it's still my invention, right?
-We still have some. -We don't have to do that.
It's the axle's problem.
Whatever the problem is, we'll solve it together.
The Myriad Manifestation Umbrella is not your own.
It belongs to all of us as well.
We'll divide into several groups and speed up the repair.
I'll be in charge of data modeling and offering new assembly templates.
Wu Chen, you're responsible for sorting out the basic materials you brought back.
Mo Fan and Bao Zi, you will assist him.
And Little Tang, Yifan, and Wei Chen,
you're responsible to fight for new materials.
Everyone has tasks.
What should I do?
Your job is
-to click "Confirm" -to click "Confirm"
-when it is assembled. -when it is assembled.
-Let's go. -Go!
-Let's start! -Okay!
Let's do it. Come on.
Well, let's start all over again
from now.
Today, we have the latest news.
Glory officials have upgraded the system to level 75.
That means there will be new materials.
So far, all the teams,
including Tiny Herb, Tyranny, and Blue Rain,
plan to take this opportunity to renew and upgrade their equipment.
Therefore, if we are late by a step, we'll lag behind in the competition.
So this time, we need to prepare for not only the final,
but the rate of progress in missions.
Come in.
Let me introduce him to you.
This is the new member of Team One, Qiu Fei.
Qiu Fei performs well in almost every area.
He's always the best in Team Two.
He even represented Excellent Era to go abroad for half a year.
His strength is not weaker than all of you in Team One.
Have a seat there.
The class of both of you is Battle Mage.
You can exchange tips.
"Exchange tips"?
I'm afraid the word "teach" is more appropriate.
Qiu Fei, have a seat here.
No matter if it's teaching or exchanging tips,
it'll be convenient for you.
ARENA'S FIRST KILL BOARD
HAPPY, EXCELLENT ERA
Team Happy got so many First Kills.
Did you go easy on them?
With you hindering me, do I need to go easy on them?
Fine.
Then let's not compete for that.
How about this?
The one gets the First Kill in the new map is the winner.
Have I ever competed with you?
Childish.
Let's compete our damage output.
I'll give you a ten-second head start.
Are you sure about this arrangement?
His class is the same as Sun Xiang's.
And in terms of character,
they can hardly get along with each other.
Mr. Tao.
Have you ever seen Sun Xiang like this?
Although he's not convinced,
he is influenced unconsciously by his teammate.
No matter in reality or in his performance in Glory.
Playback with double speed.
Fourfold speed.
Sixfold speed.
-Sixfold? How will we see it clearly? -That's right.
Eightfold speed.
This is the menu. What would you like to order?
I'd like this. Just a little spicy.
All right.
Server!
I'd like an extremely spicy dish!
TEAM HAPPY ZONE AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
Taking the opportunity of the upgrade in level 75,
we've already got much better equipment.
But now, the most important material that we need is this Blue-white Crystal.
It is one of the key materials to repair the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
Therefore,
please, everyone.
It is definitely sure that First Kill in this arena will drop the crystal.
We must get it!
The First Kill List is empty now.
The Boss is dying.
Yifan, your three o'clock.
Roger that.
Excellent Dynasty Guild has got the First Kill in the Line Canyon.
Excellent Dynasty?
Our award of First Kill is gone.
We were just late by a second.
Now every team is attacking in level 75 to upgrade equipment.
But our First Kill was robbed by those bastards.
I don't want to buy it from Team Excellent Era.
Then we can try to get the First Kill of other arenas.
This is the last arena.
Actually, apart from getting the First Kill,
we have another way.
Apart from getting the First Kill,
it is possible to get the crystal in common arena.
But the possibility is extremely low.
Even if all of us keep attacking for 24 hours,
it's not certain that we can get it before the final.
Who said there are only a few of you?
Here, hurry up!
Come on! Everyone.
-Let's have a seat! -Hurry up.
-Team up first. -Quick!
-We're here with passion, right? -Okay.
We have our mission, right?
Yes.
-Sunset Clouds, form your team. -Hurry up!
Sit together with your team according to our grouping.
-That's right. -Got it?
Happy is not just us.
Here, attention!
Now it's time for the guild to take action.
In every arena where the Blue-white crystal might be,
we need to keep attacking!
-Okay! -Let's do it!
-How about this? -Don't worry, I will get it.
-You can try this. -Sure, no problem!
Okay, get all of this out.
You should use this.
-This place is called... -There is one more here.
Hey, there.
This is really hard.
Accept the mission. See the details in the notice.
-Accepted. -I'll surely complete the task.
Attacking three times in the arena. Everyone, fighting!
For the Blue-white Crystal, fighting!
-Don't do that for me. -Have you done it?
Look, come with me.
Let's see if we will get it this time.
Forget it, Ms. Chen.
Other players attack three times within one hour.
Your team attacks once within three hours.
At this rate,
we still won't get the crystal even if we attack until the end of the world.
But I think it looks good now.
Look!
The whole internet cafe is busy.
Don't you think it looks like the scene in the opening of the Tenth Server.
Ms. Chen, can I request to play in another team?
Look at me, I am the destined one to get the Blue-white crystal for Master.
Ms. Chen, you can't always get in my way.
That's too...
CHASING HAZE, BLUE-WHITE CRYSTAL
Blue-white Crystal!
We got the Blue-white Crystal!
-We got it! -Yes!
We finally got it!
-Yes! -Yes!
-That's awesome!
MYRIAD MANIFESTATION UMBRELLA, UPGRADE
You fool, you finally won.
You finally made up your mind to surpass me.
-Let's continue. -Come on.
-I'll wait for you at the terminal. -Here.
HAPPY INTERNET CAFE
"Team Happy will fight..."
-Mo Fan, come here. -We need to switch places.
You have to go there.
-Captain. -Captain.
Wait a moment.
SUPER HAPPY DEFEATS LOW EXCELLENT ERA
Does Ms. Chen dislike me?
Why do I only have an exclamation mark? You all have a word.
I feel better when I see the word on your shirt.

-Come on, let's take a picture. -Here.
