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

"When the sun comes out, I climb the hillside, and I climb up the hillside..." Fang Rui hummed some tune that seemed to be somewhere out of the ordinary, while controlling his little thief to dig and dig in the vast battlefield.

“Um…” Lin Jingyan’s expression was a little strange. He tried several times to remind Fang Rui to pay a little more attention, but it was obviously in vain.

Fang Rui was completely immersed in his perfect singing voice, and he sang with increasing enthusiasm.

Don't stop him, let him keep singing! It's been so long since I've heard such a unique voice!

Yes, yes, what was that saying again? "A fleeting glimpse of celestial music makes one's ears ring," right?

[Host, I advise you not to meddle. We came here to listen to him sing!]

Sing a few more lines, sing a few more lines!

In the twelfth season, Lin Jingyan and Fang Shijing both retired. Because they had prepared in advance, they didn't feel as flustered as Lü Liang had been before. The team completed the professional transition very harmoniously.

Tai Sui has welcomed its new master.

In the same year, Lin Jingyan joined the Ember team's live streaming department and became the department's director.

In the thirteenth season, Fang Rui retired, Qi Gong Master Man Chuan Xing He and Xin Zei Wei Zai were liberated, and Fang Rui officially enrolled in Chuncheng University... Fang Rui's temporary position was also in the live broadcast department.

The live streaming department, though called a department, could actually be merged with the publicity department.

In Chu Xue's vision, one person's complex daily live stream would become the mouthpiece of the Ember Club, while other active members of the Ember team could gain more attention through this platform. Apart from Lin Jingyan, the other professional players would schedule their shifts based on their current popularity, which could be considered a side job.

In the following season, after Fang Rui officially retired, he resolutely became the second veteran member of the Ember team to become a full-time streamer. And today's situation is not the first time it has happened.

The once-glorious criminal duo has returned to the public eye in a very strange way.

"Damn, it's already this late! I have class this afternoon, guys, let's get out of here!" Fang Rui glanced at the time, paused for a moment, and then charged into the sea of ​​skills, maintaining an extremely dashing state, only to be blasted into dust: "I'll make up for the rest of the live stream tonight!"

"You..." Lin Jingyan looked at Fang Rui leaving with a mix of amusement and exasperation: "No matter what, at least everyone's ears have been freed for now... New viewers, please don't be curious about what just happened."

……

Fang Rui walked happily on his way to Chuncheng University. He was once considered one of the top students in the Ember team in terms of academic qualifications.

Fang Rui had been admitted to university through proper channels, and during the holidays he formed a team as a hobby, and just like that, he inexplicably made it into the offline competition.

Although he did not win the championship, Fang Rui was discovered by Fang Shijing, who had time to act as a scout for Blue Rain Star at the time.

After convincing his family, Fang Rui temporarily suspended his studies and resolutely threw himself into the youth training camp.

What happened next was rather strange. Fang Shijing left the Blue Rain team to confront life, and Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian officially took over.

Because of Huang Shaotian's situation, the team was not allowed to have a second player who could disappear during team fights.

Fang Rui performed very well in the youth training camp, but in order to ensure the stable development of the team, after giving Fang Rui the status of a professional player, the Blue Rain team sent him to the Howling team.

It just so happens that it's Fang Rui's hometown, and Fang Rui doesn't really have the right to refuse.

A contract was signed.

Thus began Fang Rui's long journey as a thief, which he developed and perfected, forming his own unique style.

That's disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

After his complete retirement, nothing seemed amiss on the surface, but behind the scenes, countless professional players were celebrating. Fang Rui estimated that the number of celebrations was definitely no less than that of Wei Laoda back then.

Oh, my damn personal charm!

Fang Rui shook his head and sighed, but he was just that outstanding, and there was nothing he could do about it; he could only endure the jealousy of others.

Incidentally, before starting his studies, Fang Rui transferred his student status to Chuncheng University, becoming the first professional player to officially enroll after the Ember Club and Chuncheng University began their collaboration.

After choosing a major he liked, Fang Rui naturally joined the e-sports club as agreed and became the club president for this year.

Oh right, I need to check on my underlings after class today. Fang Rui was secretly a little envious of Lao Wei's ability to command a large following in the union's workshop. He also thought that maybe he could discover some promising talents like Fang Ge. Of course, he couldn't use himself as a benchmark, otherwise it would be underestimating him, wouldn't it?

"Hey guys, anything interesting lately?" Fang Rui, wearing a mask, hurriedly entered the e-sports club, then slammed the door open, stretched out his arms, and waited for the cheers of the others: "Uh, did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, President, you've come at the perfect time. We were just talking about the university league." The vice president was clearly relieved. "Also, boss, please don't stream singing again next time, okay?"

The vice president said with a hint of resentment.

I had some major courses before, but it's common for college students to slack off in class and play on their phones. I was watching my favorite Ember team's live stream when I was startled by a sudden shout, and my phone fell to the ground. It took a lot of persuasion to get it back from the teacher...

"Well, let's talk about the competition first," Fang Rui said calmly. "Ahem, the historical record of our Chuncheng University team..."

"Here you are, boss." The vice president handed over the documents.

"Let me see... You won the provincial championship, not bad, not bad. Hmm, during Lao Chu's time as club president? Damn, Xiao Wen was the substitute player... The rest... um..."

Apart from that one year, his other results were only average, and he never won the championship again.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Now our e-sports club team has a bright future!" Fang Rui said with a wave of his hand, full of pride.

"That's what we think too!"

until……

"What the hell is wrong with you?! I remember you haven't retired yet, right?! Are you that free?!" Fang Rui shouted at someone at the registration site.

"Don't make such a fuss and embarrass yourself." The familiar person said coldly. Tang Hao, one of the top-ranked players, the pinnacle of the rogue class, the Street Fighter player from the Howling Team, said: "You came all by yourself?"

"No way, you're a top-ranked player, currently employed, playing in the university league?! Is your Howling Team having such a relaxed holiday schedule? How come I didn't know that!"

"My sister's in college now, and she's a member of the esports club. She asked me to coach her for a couple of days and also to check if there are any promising talents," Tang Hao said calmly. "Don't make such a fuss over nothing, okay?"

Coaching... Fang Rui relaxed, no longer afraid of being laughed at. Since the World Invitational Tournament, Tang Hao's progress had indeed been frightening. In the eleventh season, he had established himself as a title-level player. With Liu Hao's support, they even defeated the Samsara team and made it to the finals, ultimately losing to the Ember team. During the match, Fang Rui had faced Tang Hao one-on-one, but he was thoroughly outmatched.

After the eleventh season, Fang Rui worked hard, but he was still a step or two short of the top-ranked player, which was truly a pity.

Thank goodness, that bastard isn't participating...

"Captain Tang, your sister... Hiss, Lao Fang?!" A surprised voice rang out. Fang Rui turned his head and looked over. Mo Chuchen and Zhang Wei were strolling over from that direction. They greeted Fang Rui with slight surprise: "You... went to Chuncheng University? You're on the school team too?"

Fang Rui's face darkened slightly, and he nodded. Damn, he miscalculated; he forgot those two had retired too. Although

Zhang Wei and Mo Chuchen's strength is considered average in the entire league, still quite a distance from top-tier players. However, their opponents are retired professional players, so their experience is not lacking.

With Tang Hao's guidance...

Oh no, is this going to backfire? If I don't submit the application now, will it be too late to go home and get reinforcements? Fang Rui's expression changed drastically, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do something so shameful.

"I won't bother with you, otherwise, given the bond between us brothers and sisters in the Ember, I could have easily brought the whole team over to deal with you," Fang Rui said defiantly.

……

If it were anyone else, Mo Chuchen, Zhang Wei, and Tang Hao would have just taken it as a joke, but these words came from the mouth of Fang Rui, a shameless, despicable thief who would steal anything... He really might do such a thing.

Regardless of whether they can pull them back, Fang Rui is definitely capable of going back to his own side to ask for help.

A university league match against the entire Ember team? Seriously?

Tang Hao looked at Fang Rui with disdain: "This is all the crap you can do. I'll wait here while you go and call for backup."

"You son of a bitch, you asked for this! Come on, come back with me to recruit people!" Fang Rui immediately seized the opportunity, blocking the vice president who was about to hand in his form and was staring in disbelief. He walked straight out of the registration point: "You guys wait with me, don't you dare leave, understand?"

"...Team Leader Tang, do you think Fang Rui could really..." Zhang Wei was stunned for a long time, and inexplicably remembered the final of the inter-school competition that year, when Senior Sun Zheping faced off against Team Leader Li.

At that time, senior Sun Zheping was still recovering from injury, and Captain Li was a newcomer, but he was already considered a dream team. If Fang Rui really brings everyone this time...

"Didn't you read the rules?" Tang Hao asked, turning his head.

"Huh?" Zhang Wei was taken aback. To be honest, before seeing Fang Rui, he hadn't really paid attention to the school-level competition, and he hadn't even looked at the rules.

“Starting from previous editions, the introduction of foreign players has been prohibited. At most, they can join as coaches, but they cannot play on the field,” Tang Hao said calmly.

"Huh? Then Captain Tang, you..."

"Let that annoying guy leave first." Tang Hao looked at his cousin, who was skipping and hopping towards him. She was pretty and exuded youthful energy. "Brother!"

"Okay, let's go back." Tang Hao nodded and was about to leave with his sister.

He had inadvertently revealed his sister's information earlier, but luckily Fang Rui hadn't noticed, otherwise... A dangerous glint flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

……

"Boss Wei, Boss Wei, he's mocking us like this, stepping on our Yu Jin's face like this! He's slapping my butt like this, isn't that slapping Boss Wei's face too? I'm practically Boss Wei's apprentice!" Fang Rui cried out, "Don't believe me? Ask Xiao Liu!"

"Ah, yes... that's how it is." Xiao Liu stared blankly at the legendary professional player in front of him.

"Get lost! I'm so busy every day, how could I have time to help you with the inter-school competition? Besides, I've been retired for so long." Old Wei, carrying his fishing rod, said disdainfully, "One Tang Hao has made you like this? If you hadn't retired last season, I would have given you a good talking to."

……

"Um, Boss Wei, I'm the vice-captain of the Ember Team now, so I have to consider the reputation of our Ember Team when I act..." Bai Shu said hesitantly.

……

"I'm not going." Qiu Fei and Sun Zheping gave almost the same answer, two words, which was much better than Sun Zheping's "get lost."

……

"Well, I'm new here, Xiao Rui, and I have a lot to do." Fang Shijing sighed. "Besides, Tang Hao is just a coach; he doesn't play..."

……

“This is my last year. I’ll help you next year.” Zhang Jiale patted Fang Rui on the shoulder.

……

"No time, I'm watching dramas." Chu Yunxiu shook her head.

……

"All that's left is Xiao Wen." Fang Rui sighed. "If all else fails, we'll have to get him from the youth training camp..."

"Huh? Brother Rui, did you call me?" Li Wen asked curiously.

"Hiss..." The vice president gasped, almost fainting. It was Captain Li! Captain Li! Alive! Offline! And so close.

Fang Rui's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled Li Wen aside and whispered something to him.

Li Wen paused for a moment, his expression somewhat strange: "Isn't it inappropriate for our whole team to go? Besides..."

"Chuxin, Xiaowen! Wasn't your first major competition also an inter-school competition? Don't you plan to experience it again?" Fang Rui tempted.

"Hmm, well..." Li Wen was somewhat tempted. He took the notebook the vice president asked for an autograph, carefully signed his name in cursive script, and hesitated for a moment: "How about you register me as a substitute..."

"Alright, Xiao Wen, I'm satisfied with what you said..."

"Ahem, um, boss, I just remembered, starting from the last few years, non-school substitutes aren't allowed to participate in the University League." The vice president grinned sheepishly as he looked at the autographed booklets of the Ember Team in his hand. The entire Ember Team! He'd collected them all!

This plan was set up from the beginning. He had learned about the other teams' situations in advance, and deliberately took Fang Rui to register at that specific time...

All of this was part of the plan!

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Um, I just wanted to come to the club to take a look... Ouch, boss, don't hit me in the face!" The vice president's expression changed, realizing that he had accidentally blurted out the truth, and he quickly covered his head and squatted down to defend himself.

"Die to my father!"

I've been hunting geese all year round, but today I never expected to get pecked in the eye by a little sparrow!

This kid is capable of great things!

Fang Rui dragged the guy back to the registration point, slamming the crumpled documents onto the table angrily: "Register! Mo Chuchen, Zhang Wei, and that bastard, just wait and see what I do to them!"
