Mist in the Air Chapter 2

Finn Zhao changed to a comfortable sitting position and said slowly, "I've said it all in one breath today. You should understand the situation first, so as not to offend him by saying something unclear."

"Before he became a professional, Nolan Shi had very good grades in school. He didn't want to pursue this path, so he just did some live streaming occasionally. Of course, his family didn't agree with him doing this."

"Nolan Shi still hasn't contacted his family. I don't know if this is why he had a falling out with his family. No one dares to ask."

"He was already quite famous for his live streaming and had a high ranking in the national server, so he was soon discovered by several clubs. Nolan Shi was still a medic at the time, and good medics are always a scarce resource. There must have been many clubs that contacted him, but he quit all of them, including me. He told me at the time that he didn't want to play professionally, but later, for some reason, he joined Whisper's team."

"He offended several clubs because of this. He swore to us that he would never play professionally and that we shouldn't waste our time on him, but he turned around and went to Whisper, haha..."

"You all know what happened later. Not long after, Whisper got into trouble for some reason and defected from the region, led the team away, and became notorious..." Manager Finn Zhao glanced upstairs and pouted, "You can't say that. Put it in a nicer way."

Finn Zhao spread his hands, "At that time, the European Division was forming a Galaxy Battleship Team and was in need of a top-level medical technician. Whisper suddenly decided to go to the European Division to develop. He took away the people in his team that he could take with him, and sold the ones that he couldn't take with him at a high price. That's how Nolan Shi was sold to the NSN team."

Everyone in the room was speechless.

After a while, a team member whispered, "...Nolan Shi is being used as a tool to make money."

One person wondered, "Soren Yu's team was already the strongest in the country at the time and had won the world championship, so why bother?"

"Who knows? Everyone has their own ambitions. The signing fee is indeed higher over there, and the operation is also very complete." Finn Zhao continued slowly, "Because of the exodus of top players two years ago, our region was hit hard and missed the World Championship for two consecutive years. Whisper has been doing well. He won the runner-up in the first year of his trip to Germany. In the second year, the Galaxy Battleship was well integrated and directly won the World Championship. He is really awesome and can shine wherever he is."

The sniper in the team curled his lips and said, "Going to the enemy zone to play a game, what kind of glory is that?"

"Hey, don't be so limited. We are competing against clubs, not against nationalities. It's meaningless to talk about this, but..." Finn Zhao said sympathetically, "That being said, everyone still hopes that players like him can stay in our local region. You see, Whisper has a lot of fans now, right? But this is only one-tenth or one-twelve of the remaining ones. When he suddenly changed regions, it really pissed off all the fans in our region. Thousands of people killed him and ten thousand people cursed him. Just look at how many die-hard fans he still has now, and you can see how awesome he was back then."

A team member looked upstairs and whispered, "If he wasn't awesome, he couldn't have let Nolan Shi reject so many clubs for him. Oh, that's not right. Didn't they say that Nolan Shi offended many teams? Why did Luo go to another team at that time?"

"They can still sign even if they offended him." Finn Zhao laughed. "With interests at the forefront, who cares about this? He was once a medical technician known as 'Little Whisper'. I heard that Whisper wanted to sell him, who wouldn't want him? NSN team captain Quinn Gu has always had a good relationship with Whisper, so Whisper sold Nolan Shi to NSN team."

Another attacker on the team murmured, "...Nolan Shi must hate Whisper to death."

"Maybe... who knows, at that time, whisper had a bad reputation, but Nolan Shi never said anything about him, and others couldn't say anything to his face. He would get angry if whisper was mentioned." The manager shrugged, "Then Nolan Shi changed his job to an assaulter, and NSN was honest and let him change his job without requiring him to play a certain role. But NSN has always been short of medics, not assaulters, and they didn't want Nolan Shi to waste his time watching the water dispenser, so the top management discussed and decided to sell him to me."

Finn Zhao smiled shrewdly, "Of course, I got the upper hand. Who could have thought that Nolan Shi's attack was even better? He reached the top of the national server in less than half a year, and he became the top attack player in our division in less than half a year. If Whisper knew about this, he would regret it to death. He actually sold him for three million.

Everyone laughed, and one teammate sighed: "No wonder Shi Ge reacted so strongly... I only heard that Shi Ge had been in the Whisper team for a few months, but I didn't expect there would be so many things."

Finn Zhao sighed, "I know a little bit, but two years ago it was really chaotic. Our circle has been dizzy from the impact of capital in recent years, and there have been a lot of incidents. Most of the players who have grudges against each other now were formed at that time."

The team's medical technician listened for a while and asked tentatively: "Manager, now that Whisper is back, he won't come to our team, right?"

Finn Zhao seemed to be thinking about something. He patted the medical technician's shoulder and smiled. "What are you afraid of? It's almost impossible. Look at your brother Shi. Does he seem to be able to live in peace with Whisper?"

Everyone laughed and started talking about other gossip.

On the second floor, Nolan Shi sat back in front of his own camera. He clicked the "Continue Rank" button on the game client and waited for random matching.

The live broadcast is still on and the barrage of comments is still full of passionate discussions.

【I’m back. I’m back.】

[Did he just find out that Whisper has returned to China? Was that why he left? ]

[There are so many people on the team, so many people in the circle, no one told him? ]

[No one dares to say it...]

[Which team will Whisper join? Will he join IAC? 】

[It's impossible. If this really happens, a body will be carried out from the IAC base the next day. One of Nolan Shi and Soren Yu will definitely die.]

【Hahahaha, come to IAC, if you want to watch the fun. 】

[What are those who want Whisper to join IAC thinking? Can new fans shut up? ]

[I don't want to settle old scores, so as not to upset others. ]

[A quick question, are there any CP fans? I was stabbed by this knife just now and my health is constantly decreasing. I urgently need a sister to comfort me. 】

[I can't understand the barrage, what happened? 】

[I was only away for five minutes, and now I can play ranked games as usual. I am happy that my son has matured. 】

[It’s not like I’m not completely free from interference. I seem to hear the sound of a lighter. I reported it, but evil is smoking secretly again without turning on the camera! ]

Nolan Shi remained silent as the game progressed. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, put out the B*tt in the ashtray, and continued to gain points for his secondary account.

When playing in this division, Nolan Shi does not need to use his brain and can gain points by muscle memory. He played for two hours and won five games in a row. He was MVP in every game. Nolan Shi's fans were very pleased. The boy has matured and stabilized. Although he still quarrels with others, he will not be easily influenced anymore. Look at his calm attitude, his composed demeanor, and his calm operation!

Naturally, there is always a shortage of black fans in the live broadcast room of a popular player like Nolan Shi. There are people in the barrage who keep repeating like a parrot, saying that Nolan Shi can only bully noobs in low-scoring games.

The haters quickly refreshed the comments. While waiting in line, Nolan Shi glanced at the comments and saw one:

[You always use a small account in your live broadcasts, and only dare to let people watch you show off your skills in low-level bureaus? If you have the ability, use your big account to show off. 】

Nolan Shi had long been immune to this kind of low-level rhythm. He glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it. He continued to wait in line. Unfortunately, the system automatically canceled the queue due to timeout. Nolan Shi simply logged off his small account and logged into the national server big account specially assigned to each player by the league.

There was naturally cheering in the live broadcast room.

His main account had already reached the top of the national rankings, and the queue was even slower. Nolan Shi clicked on the queue, leaned back in the gaming chair, held a cigarette in his mouth, and waited quietly to enter the game.

While waiting for the ranking, Nolan Shi looked at the character in his game interface and was absent-minded for a moment.

Nolan Shi was indeed affected by the news of Soren Yu's return.

This is not something to be ashamed of, and there is nothing that cannot be admitted. After two years, my former captain, my former professional mentor, my ultimate professional goal... and the person I once hated the most have returned to my home country. Isn't it normal to feel a little emotional?

Nolan Shi had expected Soren Yu to return home, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Nolan Shi was still clear about the contract period of Soren Yu. If he remembered correctly, Soren Yu should still have three months left on his contract with the German side.

Nolan Shi tapped the keyboard lightly and said silently in his heart: Three months ahead of schedule.

But this makes sense. Since Soren Yu is back, he must continue to play. The new season will start in two months. Soren Yu needs to sign with a new team before the start of the new season, and then use about a month to run in with new teammates and adapt to the rhythm of the local division, and then greet the new season in the most perfect condition.

He arranged everything very carefully.

The live broadcast was still on and it was inconvenient to use the computer, so Nolan Shi picked up his mobile phone and entered a few keywords to search for relevant information.

The news of Soren Yu's return to China broke out three days ago on the hottest e-sports forum in the country. The news spread everywhere, and people were arguing more about the fact that Soren Yu had "betrayed" the division. However, the local division is short of medical technicians, so players are happy to see him come back. Apart from that, there is little real information. What is said over and over again is that Whisper has reportedly left the European division and will return to register in the local division soon.

When will he return? Which team will he join after his return?... There is not a single useful piece of news.

Nolan Shi threw his phone aside, and countless team names appeared in his mind one after another.

Except for the Saint team, which also focuses on the medic as the core play style, the other first-line teams all have a chance.

Including the team he plays for, IAC.

What Finn Zhao said sounded nice, saying that he would not sign Soren Yu for his own sake. Nolan Shi even wanted to laugh when he heard it.

Whether it is for the overall commercial value of the club, for the team's performance, or simply for the topic, as long as it can bring monetizable dividends to IAC, Finn Zhao and other senior executives will not consider their own feelings.

It's a purely commercial club, and he is just a player who can make more money. Luo saw through all this Sh!t two years ago. It's ridiculous to say these embarrassing nice words now.

Now that Soren Yu, such a cash cow, has returned, Finn Zhao must have contacted him. Now it just depends on whether the deal can be reached.

If we really talk about it...

Nolan Shi's lips moved, and he looked at the computer screen unconsciously. The game had not been queued yet.

Nolan Shi glanced at the barrage, which was also discussing which team Whisper would join, and the analysis was quite logical.

[The lower-level teams should not join the discussion, as they cannot afford it. ]

[There is no need to discuss Saint. They are the team that has the least shortage of medics. In other words, they are the only team that has no shortage of top medics.]

[Is IAC also ruled out? Although IAC's medical staff is average, if Whisper comes to IAC, this year's transfer window will not be an earthquake but the end of the world.]

[Goodbye, if IAC really comes, I’m worried that Nolan Shi will sneak into Soren Yu’s dormitory in the middle of the night and stab him==]

[NSN is a bit possible. Soren Yu has a good relationship with their captain. I just don't know if NSN is willing to spend money.]

[After comprehensive analysis, the Bison Team is the most likely candidate. The club owner is rich and can definitely afford Soren Yu. It's just that it's a bit of a waste to let Soren Yu cooperate with the two rubbish attackers of the Bison Team.]

[Hahahahaha anyway, Boss Bison is not short of money, he can buy Nolan Shi as well. ]

[Yeah, hahahaha, let's buy them together. As long as they can't kill each other, our region will surely win the world championship next year.]

[Although I really want Nolan Shi to transfer to Bison, can you please stop always linking Nolan Shi and Whisper together? It's annoying. ]

[Please stop being so nagging. The fans are going crazy if these two join the same team. ]

Nolan Shi looked at the comments expressionlessly, following the fans' thoughts and calculating the possibility of himself and Soren Yu being on the same team next season.

Soren Yu came to IAC.

Or maybe he and Soren Yu were bought by Bison at the same time.

Then the probability is...

Without waiting for a moment, he made a formula and his game was finally ranked.

You will always meet people you know in the top division. Another assaulter teammate Nolan Shi was matched with in this round was the captain of nsn, Quinn Gu.

Nolan Shi once stayed in NSN for two months. At that time, he was taken care of by Quinn Gu. Unfortunately, NSN was rich in strikers and the team could not accommodate too many of them. Nolan Shi could not stay in NSN after he switched to striker. It was Quinn Gu who helped contact his current club and tried his best to give Nolan Shi a more suitable transfer contract.

Because of the care he showed to Quinn Gu, Nolan Shi has always respected him.

As soon as Nolan Shi entered the map and saw Quinn Gu’s ID, he greeted him immediately.

【iacevil】：[Captain Gu.]

It was not known whether Quinn Gu had not seen it or what, and he had not replied. Nolan Shi did not care. He made a mark on the map and started to move forward. After half a minute, Quinn Gu had not caught up, but the team chat reminder rang, and Nolan Shi glanced sideways.

【nsngu】：[Soren Yu has returned to our division, did you know? ]

Nolan Shi looked at the screen and typed after a moment: [Just found out.]

Nolan Shi glanced at the barrage and was about to type to remind Quinn Gu that he had started a live broadcast when the team message dinged again.

【nsngu】：[He came to my team.]

nsn is the team in the league that has the most attackers.

Nolan Shi looked at Quinn Gu's team chat in silence for a long while.

Thinking about the well-reasoned analysis in the barrage just now, Nolan Shi suddenly couldn't help laughing, and then he couldn't help laughing while holding the keyboard.

Soren Yu went to nsn, and there was no possibility for him to be on the same team with me.

Fans can rest assured.
