Chapter 468: An Outdated Contestant



Translator: Halcyon Translations  Editor: Halcyon Translations

"As long as it’s not you it’s fine . We have the same class; it’s a clash," Lu Li laughed .

"Quit joking . " They weren’t great at joking around with each other . Water Fairy changed her mind and began to talk about business .

At this point, the gaming industry had a 200-year history and had become a mainstay in the entertainment industry .

Under the influence of some important figures, virtual gaming had finally become something of value and professional gamers began to find their place in the society .

Celebrity players not only received the same treatment as entertainment idols, but their income also increased greatly . More and more people were willing to join the industry and they achieved great results .

With the incoming of the new came the disqualification of the old; this was natural selection that worked in all industries .

The income of celebrity players was quite low at the start and rose as they grew stronger . However, after they grew older and their reaction time became more lethargic, their income also dropped .

If they were lucky, they could continue as a coach, but if not, they would have to stick with the money they had previously earned .

Most celebrity players were under a lot of pressure . They were used to their rich lifestyles, so after they retire, many of them faced a difficult life .

Moonlight had these kind of friends . A certain amount of his income was used to help them . Although he was famous and was known as Blood Demon, he actually had very little savings .



"Have you heard of Mu Qiu?" Water Fairy asked after some brief explanations about the disqualification of celebrity players .

"Mu Qiu…" Lu Li frowned .

"Don’t tell me you haven’t heard of Mu Qiu . "

Water Fairy was caught by surprise . She expected Lu Li to be excited, and even considered whether she was going to give the player to him if he really wanted him .

"Of course I’ve heard of Mu Qiu," Lu Li said as he shook his head in confusion, "but you were talking about celebrity disqualification . Is Mu Qiu getting disqualified?"

Although he hadn’t played other games before, he was still familiar with the Paladin Mu Qiu . Not to mention, Mu Qiu had risen to fame in Dawn .

Before Dawn, Mu Qiu didn’t have much of a name for himself; he was only a second-class celebrity player .

He had the skill and the gaming sense, but he wasn’t stable . Most thought that his talent was restricted and that this was as high as he could climb .

However, after the first league tournament of Dawn, everyone would remember the name ‘Mu Qiu’ . The player that sat in the substitute seat, the Paladin that changed the entire tide of the battle after he got a chance to jump on stage .

He was a healing Paladin who could attack, and was also the founder of the healing Paladin playstyle that revolved around critical strikes and damage reduction .

"Mu Qiu is looking for his next company, however, he didn’t level up his account correctly, so he didn’t even have a chance to show up in the Shadow Cup . He’s now in an elite team of Blood Red War Flag, but he can’t even make it into the top hundred," Water Fairy said .



"It’s his account…" Lu Li finally understood .

Mu Qiu had only entered the game a year after its release in his previous life . People only saw the glory of Mu Qiu, but as for his mistreatment, no one really noticed .

After all, this was Blood Red War Flag . It had a pretty decent reputation and it was rare for anyone to say bad things about the guild .

"Only a million . With the money I paid you last time, you’ll be able to have him . How does that sound? Are you interested?" Water Fairy asked; she was quite proud of herself .

Currently, Ruling Sword was in a pitiful position . Although they had won the Shadow Cup, the guild wasn’t viewed as too much of a significant existence in the outside world . They had a limited amount of master players, and only Lu Li and Moonlight were well known .


If this was an outdated celebrity player, or a real second-class celebrity player with no future, Lu Li might have shaken his head .

He wasn’t a charity donator and he wasn’t interested in taking in the weak .

However, if this was Mu Qiu . . .

"When can we talk about it? Contact him for me," Lu Li said up front .

Although Water Fairy was cold and proud, most celebrity players kept in contact with each other .

"Don’t you need to consider or discuss this with others?" Water Fairy was surprised by Lu Li’s decisiveness; he was even more decisive than she was .

"The competition ended . Your friend won," Lu Li didn’t answer her directly .

Grand Hegemony had won with a slight advantage, however, they still probably wouldn’t be able to make it into the top sixteen .

Of course, there was no way that they would just suddenly meet with each other . Lu Li needed to understand more about Mu Qiu’s situation, in case he doesn’t have enough information about him when they finally talked .

The three-year contract between Mu Qiu and Blood Red War Flag was already close to its expiry date .

Blood Red War Flag had registered even more celebrity players than Glory Capital . A young guild like Peerless City couldn’t compete against them .

There were plenty of others who could replace a second-class player like Mu Qiu .

Before the Shadow Cup, Blood Red War Flag had signed a contract with Wind Town .

In terms of raw skill, Wind Town wasn’t much better than Mu Qiu, but he was only seventeen this year!

For most famous celebrity players, seventeen-years-old was an age that they were jealous of . This meant that he had potential .

In the long run, he was much more important than Mu Qiu .

In reality, he had replaced the spot of Mu Qiu and became the third contestant that was on stage for Blood Red War Flag .

During the Shadow Cup, Mu Qiu had been removed from the main team and the same occurred for him during Magic Cup this time . He didn’t even manage to get a substitute position, since there were so many master gamers in Blood Red War Flag .

This was a shame for a celebrity player that had been around for so long .

With his own connections, Mu Qiu made his application towards a few clubs that he was interested in .

Blood Red War Flag didn’t intervene; it seemed like they silently permitted his action . After all, it wasn’t beneficial for them to keep around a celebrity player that costed them a fortune but had no future .

"What level is he?" Lu Li asked at the end .

"Level 31, slightly under leveled . Apparently, he’s too busy figuring out his techniques . However, he’s quite cheap; only a million," Water Fairy shrugged . She wasn’t very responsible .

"Only a million…" Lu Li smiled bitterly .

Was a million not money at all? Most people didn’t have a million .

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had given out some shares, he wouldn’t even be able to pay Moonlight and March Rain . No matter how great they were as friends, it wasn’t right if he didn’t pay them at least a million .

"Should be fine for around a year or two . If you guys make it into the top three of Magic Cup, you’ll earn the money back . " Water Fairy was truly considering this for Lu Li’s benefit . A celebrity player who wasn’t too famous or too bad would be very suitable for Ruling Sword, a guild that was quite poor and barely had anything .

"Thanks for this time . In the future…" Lu Li was about to slap her on the shoulder, but he held back his hands .

He had almost forgotten that he was talking to a girl…
