Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

Chapter 964 Extra Chapter: Boss Wei's "Scam"

"Brothers, it's done! It's done!" Old Wei excitedly walked into the Ember team's rest room and gave everyone a hug.

"What... have you become?" The group of people, who were being hugged without knowing what was going on, looked at each other blankly before Fang Shijing finally spoke up and asked.

"Girlfriend? I have a girlfriend!" Old Wei puffed out his chest proudly and said.

"Ow..."

After that, everyone lost interest.

Everyone knows that Lao Wei once scared the children at the nearby kindergarten, and they even laughed at him for a while. Whenever the story comes up, people still bring it up for a laugh.

Old Wei himself felt quite bad about it, and since then, he has started to pay a little more attention to his personal image.

Old Wei's appearance isn't actually bad; he's just a little unkempt. He doesn't care about that, after all... he hangs out with his brothers every day, and he only shaves when he feels like it. Living a carefree and unrestrained life is the most important thing.

Lao Wei was the first member of the Ember team to announce his retirement.

Unlike his previous departure from the Blue Rain team, this time Lao Wei stayed on at the Ember Club.

Unfortunately, he also owns a significant portion of the Ember team.

Old Wei treated the previous skill point strategy as a technical investment, and with the materials he sold to the Samsara team, he became the third largest shareholder of the Ember team.

So, rather than retiring, it's more like Lao Wei has retired.

He would go to the guild every day when he had free time, and eventually got the position of guild commander-in-chief, becoming the head of a guild department.

But more often than not, Lao Wei would take the two walnuts he had asked someone to buy for him, along with his increasingly well-equipped fishing gear, and go fishing, or volunteer at the kindergarten in the area to do some preventative work.

Previously, when Lü Liang went out on business, he saw Lao Wei sitting next to a female teacher, chatting and laughing.

At first, no one took it too seriously. Only Zhang Jiale and Fang Rui would tease Lao Wei a bit. Lao Wei would always express his enthusiasm, but whenever it came to meeting that girl, he would hesitate. Everyone assumed that Lao Wei was just secretly in love and had never told anyone about it.

Over time, as the competition progressed, everyone forgot about it.

Today, as the eleventh season's regular season ended and preparations for the playoffs began, Lao Wei announced this matter with great enthusiasm...

[Hiss, is Old Wei being hallucinated because of Xiao Wen?] Su Muqiu looked at Old Wei, who was rambling on and on with Fang Shijing, and touched his chin in confusion.

"I don't think so, right?" Li Wen frowned, but everyone really couldn't imagine that Boss Wei would take the initiative to pursue a girl.

It's the kind of thing that's hard to imagine.

"Alright, that's all I came here to announce. Good luck in the playoffs! As a retired player, I won't be joining the team. Play well and don't embarrass me!" Old Wei gave a worried reminder before happily leaving.

"Do you guys think this is feasible?" Fang Shijing glanced at his teammates with some concern. He had a feeling that... it didn't seem very reliable.

Zhang Jiale pondered for a moment, Fang Rui looked serious, and even Sun Zheping looked earnest.

"Wait a minute, didn't someone say that Wei Laoda had a girlfriend during the World Invitational Tournament? How come you guys are saying that you've never met her?" Chu Yunxiu asked with some doubt.

"I haven't seen him. Where's Lao Fang?" Lin Jingyan pondered for a moment and then shook his head hesitantly.

"I haven't seen it either."

"Me too……"

"I'm not sure if this person really existed."

“I have some doubts about that too. Ever since Boss Wei retired, hasn’t he been obsessed with fishing? He feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t go for a day… He hasn’t had the chance to go either,” Bai Shu said suspiciously.

“When I asked him last time, he actually said he needed to win over his wife’s family beforehand. Is he kidding me? If he had that ability…” Zhang Jiale muttered, “I think this guy would say anything to go fishing!”

"Xiao Qiu, look at the door. Isn't that guy smirking at the door?" Fang Shijing, who had been pondering, stopped thinking and asked with a dark face.

Qiu Fei paused for a moment, stood up, looked outside, and shook his head: "No..."

"That's really strange. Oh well, I don't believe Boss Wei can make it." Fang Rui shrugged.

"Let's go take a look again if we have the chance."

"But after all, that's a kindergarten, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"Right……"

After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone put the matter behind them and threw themselves into their intense and fulfilling training.

The Ember team had a very smooth eleventh season. Even in the playoffs, no team could pose a significant obstacle to them. The rise of the Ember Dynasty, the second dynasty club in Chinese history, was completely unstoppable.

The champion of the 11th Glory of China Championship League, Team Ember!
……

"Awesome!" Chu Yunxiu drank his cola with the gusto of beer: "The championship! Damn, after all these years of wanting the championship, I finally got it! Cheers, brothers!"

"Cheers!" The glasses clinked together, and everyone laughed happily.

"By the way, hasn't Boss Wei arrived yet?" Li Wen glanced at the time before the celebration officially began.

Old Wei booked the private room at Xingfu Renjia, but when they arrived, Old Wei was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Fang Shijing was about to call and ask where he was gallivanting, the door was pushed open: "Sorry, sorry, brothers, my father-in-law is too enthusiastic. He insisted on taking me for a couple of drinks, and I couldn't refuse... I'm late, my bad."

Fang Shijing frowned. Since his second return to the professional league, Lao Wei hadn't been drinking much, and he smoked less too.

He wasn't against Lao Wei drinking. Lao Wei had already retired and wasn't a professional player anymore. Drinking a little bit occasionally as a way to relax and rest was fine for Lao Wei.

But judging from Lao Wei's appearance today, it doesn't seem like he only drank a little. Who were he drinking with this time?
And you even said you were talking to your father-in-law... Do you know how to write those three characters?

Old Wei scratched his head sheepishly and sat down next to Fang Shijing: "Sorry, sorry, Old Fang, this time, it was really a matter of expediency..."

Fang Shijing glanced at Lao Wei, sighed, turned the hot tea around, and handed it to Lao Wei.

The victory celebration banquet has begun...

Days passed by, with training, matches, and rest all proceeding smoothly for the Ember Club.

In the twelfth season, they are currently in first place in the regular season standings and have already secured a playoff spot.

This is predicted to be an unprecedented four-peat.

Some people say that if you calculate the proportion of the World Invitational Tournament for the Ember team, the World Invitational Tournament itself can be considered a championship for the Ember team. As long as they win this match in the 12th season, it will basically be considered that the Dynasty has risen, which will also be the first Dynasty in the history of Glory to win five consecutive championships.

However, no one really felt the outside comments. They all huddled together, staring in disbelief at what Lao Wei was holding.

"This is... a marriage certificate?! Is it real?" "Wei Chen, Chen Siqi... the names match, there are no spelling mistakes?"

"I remember that forging a marriage certificate is illegal, right?"

"Yes, yes, Lao Wei, you must not go astray!"

Everyone tried to dissuade him with great distress.

"Jealous? Go ahead and be jealous!" Old Wei laughed arrogantly, carefully putting the items away from his body.

Everyone was somewhat bewildered, unable to immediately recover from the shock before their eyes.

No, Lao Wei has actually found a girlfriend this time—no, I should say fiancée now?!
When did this happen?!
"Didn't I tell you already?" Old Wei looked blank. "Back in our dynasty, I had a few drinks with my father-in-law. That day was all about the engagement."

"...No, no, no, I absolutely can't believe it." Fang Rui shook his head repeatedly and was the first to leave the lounge. "It's all fake, I absolutely won't believe it! Damn, Boss Wei can find such a beautiful girl? I don't believe it?"

"Really?" Fang Shijing frowned and thought for a long time before asking in a low voice.

"Really." Old Wei said with some melancholy. He'd joked around and tricked people far too many times, and now that he was actually doing something real, nobody believed him...

"Then why didn't you say you'd introduce us?!"

"What's there to see? Just focus on winning four consecutive championships, and then you'll see!" Old Wei patted his chest, laughed heartily, and left.

"Brothers, what do you think?" Chu Yunxiu asked seriously, his hands clasped under his chin, his face grave. "I suspect that Lao Wei has developed hysteria."

“I believe this more than that he can find a partner,” Fang Shijing said, adjusting his glasses.

When we were young, we all had a friend we fantasized about. Could it be that, Boss Wei... has found a wife he fantasized about now that he's middle-aged?

Fang Shijing's expression was solemn. Otherwise, there was no way to explain how Lao Wei was able to find a partner!
"Don't overthink it. Once this season ends, we'll let Wei lower his guard, and then we'll send him in for a checkup," Zhang Jiale said seriously. "When you're going to knock him out, please let me handle it."

"Um, this..."

Until the end of the regular season, in the final two weeks before the playoffs.

"Xiao Wen, Lao Fang, Da Sun, Lele, Lao Lin, Xiao Rui, Xiao Bai, Xiao Qiu, you guys give us your sizes in a bit!" Lao Wei poked his head in and shouted, "Get ready to be groomsmen the day after tomorrow. I'll post the details in our chat group later, you guys can take a look. Get ready to be groomsmen these next few days, I've only found a few of you!"

"What do you mean, are you excluding me... Wait, best man?" Chu Yunxiu didn't hear her own name and was instantly displeased, but she quickly froze.

"what?"

"Yeah, the best man." Old Wei chuckled. "These past few days, Old Lü and I have been arranging accommodations for the guests, and the new house... Ugh, we've been so busy lately. Alright, I won't say any more, I'm off!"

Watching Lao Wei turn and leave with a cheerful smile, everyone simultaneously opened their phones and looked at the messages in the break group.

It's an invitation, and it looks quite professional...

"fake?"

"Fake!"

"It's definitely fake. This is probably a prank to get revenge on us for not coming back on April Fool's Day!"

"But a month has already passed..."

"You don't know him yet. This past month might have been a deliberate period of time for him to let us lower our guard, just in time to launch a big attack on us."

"So, are you still going to send out this height measurement?"

"Let's learn the process too, and see what other tricks he can come up with!"

With this mindset, everyone got up early that day and went to Lao Wei's new home.

"The boss really put on quite a show for us, huh..." Fang Rui glanced at Lao Wei sitting there waiting for his makeup to come on, then looked at the new house filled with wedding photos: "This..."

"No, something feels slightly off?"

"Could it be..."

"Probably not?"

The group huddled together, whispering amongst themselves in suspicion.

"Boss Wei, open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! This must be fake, right? It must be fake, right? How could you possibly find a wife? This is neither scientific nor reasonable!"

"Shaotian!"

……

"If this is a scam, isn't the cost a bit too high?" Zhang Jiale swallowed and asked.

Li Wen opened the door. Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian from the Blue Rain team, Ye Xiu who officiated the previous match in K City, and the members of the Ember team studio dressed in suits were there.

Everyone turned to look at Old Wei and then at the huge commotion.

Could it be true?
……

Wedding scene
The members of the Ember team sat at a table, dumbfounded as they watched Lao Wei being led over by his sister-in-law. They were still somewhat dazed from the wedding procession, having followed the emcee in a daze the whole time. They only remembered giving out red envelopes when they were called upon, and giving out red envelopes when they couldn't complete a game. The rest of the time, they were in a daze...

Unbelievable, shocking, and...

My feelings are so complicated!

"You still doubt that I'm lying to you? Those are my mom and dad, and over there are Siqi's parents and grandpa. You also know the kindergarten director, right?" Old Wei said with a pained expression.

"...I don't believe you didn't realize we hadn't believed you," Fang Shijing said leisurely. "You just kept watching?"

"I really want to see it!" Old Wei laughed heartily. "Do you know why we had two photographers with us today? One is to photograph me and your sister-in-law, and the other is to capture your expressions! Hahahaha, it's killing me!"

The sister-in-law shook her head helplessly: "You know his personality better than I do..."

"Ah, it's nothing, sister-in-law..."

"Um, where's the photographer? We need to contact him by phone..."

"Yes, let's discuss some related matters..."

　As for whether fishing can win over the bride's family, we're not entirely sure, but Ah Si said that all sorts of people fish, and maybe his future father-in-law will be among them...

　　Although he's been fishing for two or three years now, he still doesn't have a girlfriend. (Shakes head helplessly)
