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

Chapter 977 Side Story: The Future of the Ember Team

"No way! You just left like that?!" Ye Qiu's voice came from the other end of the phone, shouting in a rather exasperated tone.

"You're a grown man, be more mature." Ye Xiu said with a hint of helplessness, "With your impulsive personality, how can I trust you? This is for your own good..."

"You bastard! You were like this when we were kids! You stole my luggage and now you're abandoning me! We agreed that if you stayed in B City, I would be free!"

"You're not mature enough yet, find a girlfriend first. Okay, okay, my phone's full, I'm hanging up now!" Ye Xiu ignored the voice on the other end and casually hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Su Mucheng, holding a large golden retriever, poked her head out. "Who called? Was it Mom and Dad?"

"No, it's Ye Qiu." Ye Xiu picked up the water and added it to the tank. "Don't worry about him. That kid is thinking of keeping Mom and Dad at home so he can run away and find his so-called freedom."

"Oh!" Su Mucheng nodded.

Ye Qiu, well... it's alright if we don't care.

He happily rubbed the golden retriever's head and looked at everything in front of him with a smile.

Ye Xiu, himself, the puppy, the RV, and the upcoming trip... these are things he once wanted to do.

After finishing university, I can finally begin!

Su Mucheng asked excitedly, "Where are we going first?"

"Let me see... I have another match to officiate next week, let's go there first. What do you want to eat tonight? There seems to be a wet market nearby." Ye Xiu put down the water bottle and asked with a smile.

"Let me think... Hmm, it's been a long time since I've had instant noodles. Let me see if your instant noodle skills have gotten any worse!" Su Mucheng said happily, while also feeding the golden retriever some dog food.

"Okay." Ye Xiu nodded. In fact, his best skill was making instant noodles.

Ye Xiu went to boil water, and Su Mucheng set up a small table, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Ye Xiu busy himself.

It seems like there's no difference from before he got married, yet it also seems like they've actually been family since he was sixteen.

"By the way, how's Mu Qiu doing lately?" Ye Xiu asked casually while tearing open a sausage.

"Hmm... Brother said taking care of kids is tiring, and the kindergarten kids seem to have a lot of energy every day." Su Mucheng said, resting her chin on her hand. "But according to Xiao Wen, Brother seems to enjoy this kind of life. He's become the king of the kids at Wei Laoda's kindergarten. Even the older kids listen to him. And he takes good care of the other kids, so he's very popular with the girls!"

"This guy..." Ye Xiu smiled.

“After all, my brother has always been very caring.” Su Mucheng smiled. She didn’t really have any memories of her parents; from the time she could remember, it was her brother who raised her. Her brother didn’t have a childhood, so it wouldn’t be bad to make up for it now…

"...Well, speaking of which, we should leave our child with Mu Qiu." Ye Xiu thought about his family situation. He and Mu Cheng often had to travel for work, but neither his parents nor his good-for-nothing younger brother seemed like good people to entrust with the child. So it would be better to leave the child with Mu Qiu.

"Child..." Su Mucheng said with some anticipation, but her face turned slightly red. "Well, shall we talk about it after the trip?"

"No rush." ​​Ye Xiu smiled. "It's up to you."

"Ahem, the noodles are ready, hurry up and eat!" Su Mucheng urged.

"it is good."

……

"Xiaoxue, Muqiu, over here." Chu Xue smiled and waved to the two holding hands.

Li Xue's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Su Muqiu and ran towards her mother: "Mom, you're back!"

"Did you miss your mother?" Chu Xue chuckled and patted Li Xue's head.

Li Xue froze. Although she was happy to see her mother, it also meant that someone would snatch her father's hug when she wanted one...

"Mom, why don't you go on your business trip for a few more days?" Li Xue asked cautiously.

"You brat..." Chu Xue pinched Li Xue's cheek: "Where's Mu Qiu? Is she getting used to life here?"

"Uh...it's alright." Mu Qiu nodded helplessly. "Speaking of which, brother...cough cough, speaking of Sister Chu Xue, could you help me with the middle school thing..."

Chu Xue patted Su Muqiu's head: "I don't really agree with you going straight to middle school... Premature education will stifle your rare talent. Don't rush, Muqiu."

"Does Brother Muqiu not like kindergarten?" Li Xue asked anxiously. "Is it because I ate your snack? Um, I'll give all my snacks to Brother Muqiu tomorrow..."

"It's not because of that... never mind." Su Muqiu sighed. As for children, it's best to just look at other people's children through a screen. After spending almost two months in kindergarten, Su Muqiu sincerely admired those teachers.

Good heavens, those kids are so noisy, and they always burst into tears for no reason at all...

I used to think that the eldest grandson wasn't cute, he was so serious and solemn, but now I think he's the cutest kid ever!
As they were talking, Chu Xue waved in that direction again. Su Muqiu turned his head and saw that Lele's little girl was pulling the young master of the Da Sun family out. After looking around and not seeing her father, she ran straight towards Li Xue: "Le Yao, A Ke, your parents said they want me to take you to the club so we can all go together, okay?"

"Mmm!" Le Yao nodded happily.

The families lived very close by and often visited each other. Jiale and the Sun family's children naturally knew Chu Xue.

As for why the teacher didn't stop it...

The husband of the gardener is the colleague of the person in front of me.

Before long, Wei Lao's daughter also ran out. The three girls held hands and led the other two boys towards the club with practiced ease.

Chu Xue smiled, took a picture of their backs, posted it on her WeChat Moments, and then followed behind them...

Su Muqiu carefully protected his nephews and nieces, occasionally offering them words of advice, displaying the demeanor of a caring older brother.

It would be best if they called him Uncle Muqiu instead of Brother Muqiu.

Damn it, it's empty!
The four little ones sat obediently in the battle lounge, eating snacks and occasionally greeting the team members who came to get water. No one would dislike such well-behaved children, especially since they were the children of their idols.

Meanwhile, Su Muqiu... had already run to the Silver Weapon R&D lab.

With Li Wen's instructions and Ye Xiu taking the blame, Su Muqiu was able to enter without anyone stopping him.

On the contrary, the members of the research and development team welcomed his arrival.

Actually, to be honest, Su Muqiu gave them a strange feeling. Some of his ideas and concepts were perfectly aligned with those of the members of the Ember Research Lab, just like working with Captain Li.

"Uncle Fang... has the silver weapon testing for this batch of trainees already begun?" Su Muqiu, who had been looking at some documents, ran over to Fang Shijing, who was in charge of testing the silver weapons. The Ember Team is no longer the small, insignificant team it used to be; its resources are incredibly abundant. After all, it's currently the only dynasty, and the treatment of its professional players and the investment of resources are substantial.

The best treatment is given to the trainees who enter the Ember team with the highest score every year, one of which is a specially made silver weapon.

If I were to go for full silver armor... not to mention the investment, there wouldn't be enough time, so only silver weapons would be an option.

The player who joined the league this year is a swordsman. Although the number one greatsword user, Crimson Queen, is in the Ember Club, the compatibility is slightly poor. After discussion, a lightsaber was ultimately chosen as the weapon.

"It's already in the testing phase, and the current data looks something like this." Fang Shijing smiled, picked up Su Muqiu, and pointed to the panel in front of him.

They had initially thought the child wouldn't understand, but after Su Muqiu skillfully prepared the various ingredients, their doubts were dispelled...

Su Muqiu fell into deep thought.

The office of the owner of the Ember Club.

"Huh?" Li Wen was taken aback. "Mu Qiu... what happened to that child?"

Chu Xue nodded with some concern: "That child is a bit too precocious, so well-behaved it's almost heartbreaking... Today he wanted to go straight to junior high school..."

"Mu Cheng and Ye Xiu are really something, how can they just leave their child here like that?"

If this were in their country, it wouldn't necessarily be a matter of who's in charge.

Li Wen thought to himself with a hint of helplessness.

"Xiao Wen, you usually spend more time with Mu Qiu. Has the child told you what he likes?" Chu Xue asked with some concern.

"Mu Qiu seems to really enjoy games, especially Glory... He did mention wanting to become a professional player before, and he is indeed very talented." Li Wen thought for a moment.

"Become a professional gamer...?"

……

"The little deer is here!"

"Sister, I have some apples here, do you want some?"

Wu Xiaolu, who had just finished school, entered the Ember Club. Since the World Invitational Tournament, Wu Xiaolu has been twelve years old. Although she is still young, she is already a formal member of the Ember Youth Training Camp. She is using a special keyboard specially made by Lingmao Esports to fit her current body shape, which does not affect her training.

Wu Xiaolu thanked the girls and headed towards the youth training camp with her backpack.

The trainees in the youth training camp were resting. When they saw Wu Xiaolu come in, they all nodded and greeted her.

Among this batch of youth training camps, Wu Xiaolu is undoubtedly the top student.

Li's personal disciple and the head coach's biological daughter, she perfectly inherited Wu Xuefeng's brain. Now, the Ember team is already looking forward to the emergence of a younger, enhanced version of Wu Xuefeng.

Wu Xiaolu looked around and asked, "Didn't Su Muqiu come today?"

"I think I saw him doing research and development before..."

"Hey, Liu Yuyuan, go to the training room and try out the silver weapon!" A small head poked in and called out timidly.

The young man whose name was called stood up in surprise and left the youth training camp.

He was the trainee who finished the youth training camp with the highest score in the previous session.

Su Muqiu originally wanted to go along to see what was going on, but he was quickly pulled back.

Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look. It was none other than Old Wu's youngest daughter: "What's wrong, Xiao Lu?"

“You should call me sister…” Wu Xiaolu said seriously.

“You should call me uncle…” Su Muqiu sighed, “Never mind, what’s wrong?”

“Fight me,” Wu Xiaolu said seriously.

After Su Muqiu arrived, he did give Wu Xiaolu a few pointers, and it was Su Muqiu's guidance that caught Wu Xiaolu's attention.

This kid, who was half her age, seemed to understand Glory better than she did, which naturally piqued Wu Xiaolu's curiosity. Since she happened to run into him at the youth training camp today, she was determined to have a match with him.

"Uncle's a bit busy right now, maybe next time." Su Muqiu waved his hand and turned to leave, but was quickly picked up and pressed into a chair: "Kid, don't be like that arrogant Ye Xiu. Come on, swipe your card and log in. What account do you want?"

Su Muqiu turned his head and glanced at the black-haired version of Zhang Jiale, somewhat speechless. "Fine, Jiale, tomorrow I'll give that little girl Leyao a proper lesson on how you shattered your Dao Heart and became a melancholy little prince."

Wu Xiaolu connected her specially made keyboard, and Su Muqiu naturally had the same one.

This keyboard was custom-made with Chu Xue's help. It's usually kept by Zhang Jiale because he's so young that he can't use a regular keyboard and mouse. Confiscating the custom-made keyboard physically solves the problem of him secretly playing games.

Zhang Jiale cheerfully helped connect the mouse and keyboard: "Come on, come on, let's play. If you can win, I'll give you special permission to enter the youth training camp, and we'll go pro next year."

"You'd be a fool to believe me..." Su Muqiu rolled her eyes as she watched Zhang Jiale insert an account card into the card reader.

[Akimusu has joined the room.]

[Knowing White and Guarding Black has joined the room.]

That's right, Wu Xiaolu is using the same account card that Li Wen once used, known as "Knowing White and Guarding Black" and called "Mechanical Lord". If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Xiaolu will also use this account card after her debut.

"Then, come on." Su Muqiu stood on the chair, a smile on his face.

Outside the youth training camp, separated by a glass wall, Wu Xuefeng smiled as he looked at the situation inside the room: "That kid really looks like Mu Qiu... Come to think of it, isn't he really Ye Xiu and Mu Cheng's child?"

"It really isn't, Brother Xuefeng," Li Wen sighed.

"Who do you think will win? Little Deer, or this kid?" Wu Xuefeng smiled. "Although Mu Qiu has talent in Silver Weapon R&D... no, that can't be called talent anymore, it's like the God of Glory is chasing after him to feed him, but I've never actually seen him play Glory. How good is he?"

“If it’s his official debut…” Li Wen thought for a moment, then smiled. He didn’t say anything more, just smiled with a light in his eyes.

"The future of Ember is truly something to look forward to," Wu Xuefeng remarked.
