"There sure are a lot of things going on with the new version!"
Jiaozi Niu finished reading the ga forum post, and one thought lingered:
"Why is this world always at war?"
Undoubtedly, this is a full-scale war engulfing the entire Azure Star. The Red Arrow Empire is about to invade Sky Ring for a holy revenge, and at the sa ti, the internal conflict of Frost Plated is becoming more severe.
The most unimaginable of all is Zhengxu, once a human paradise, now fallen.
Amidst the sighs, players were more focused on discussing the new ga chanics.
"Subrgence Starry Abyss—it seed to have been ntioned in previous storylines."
Jiaozi Niu was reading the update log and posts when a chat icon suddenly lit up.
"The version has been updated. Any thoughts?"
Cumin Powder got straight to the point and asked:
"What’s the next plan? Subrgence Starry Abyss, or back to the Azure Star Main Quest?"
It was evident that Cumin Powder had been following the update early on and had already begun planning for the new version’s exploration.
As expected, she probably would still be his regular partner.
’Speaking of which, Cumin Powder didn’t even make it to the tournant this ti, must be feeling quite unreconciled.’
Despite this thought, Jiaozi Niu still frankly said:
"I haven’t decided yet... Azi, what do you think?"
"Isn’t it obvious?" Cumin Powder sent a pink bunny smoking emoji: "We’ve been on Baizhu Star, already in space before the update, why go back?"
"So, no more Azure Star Main Quest, right?"
"What’s the point of going back?" Cumin Powder’s tone seed displeased: "Those who compete rarely got to space early; their gear is a structured set matched perfectly. I didn’t even have a chance to play, I’ll just explore on my own."
Jiaozi Niu sensed sothing was off; Cumin Powder was particularly grumpy today. He quickly asked:
"...Did sothing happen at the club?"
"Didn’t you see the news in the Esports section?" Cumin Powder asked in surprise.
"I never watch the news. Forums to are just for looking at fanart and funny videos..."
"Well, you are a public figure now, better keep an eye on the industry trends."
Cumin Powder gave a reminder, showing a straightforwardness rare among professional players, almost like a good buddy.
Just as Jiaozi Niu was about to express gratitude, before he could finish typing, Cumin Powder sent over several screenshots.
"What’s this?"
Jiaozi Niu clicked open out of curiosity, reading:
"Breaking News —[Qiongyu] acquired 51% of [Fragrant Chicken]’s shares; Director Lin Daqi stated: There will be personnel adjustnts in the future, team rgers not ruled out."
"Frequent team changes in the S2 season’s pre-season, with many veteran professional players’ salaries disclosed."
"[Old Chilly Oil] team player Garidon announced retirent, has now joined Sesa Live, becoming a full-ti strear."
Each news packed a punch of information, but Jiaozi Niu only reacted after reading the last line.
"Garidon retired..."
"S1 team’s performance was poor, without any distinctive highlights; retiring now can still catch the streaming boom."
Cumin Powder didn’t mind.
"Speaking of which, Azi, your team was acquired by Yutianxiao’s family, huh." Jiaozi Niu typed out a ssage: "So, are you going to train with Qiongyu people from now on?"
"Doesn’t affect , I haven’t received any personnel change notices at the mont."
Cumin Powder said:
"Anyway, I’m not involved in joint training anymore."
Hearing this, Jiaozi Niu was taken aback:
"What’s the situation?"
"Qiongyu’s boss, actually Long Yuqiong, whose real na is Ou Shen, is both a player and a sponsor. The entire club is under his control; he chooses the training plan and personnel configuration."
Cumin Powder casually ntioned:
"That guy fired a bunch of people, then recruited many experts from various fields on the social side, specifically to form the guild’s own Starry Abyss strategy group, even acquired many small guilds, seems to be building a huge player alliance—I’ve already been taken out of the competitive team, and it’s still unclear what will happen next."
"So what will you do, Azi?"
"What else can I do?" Cumin Powder was straightforward: "Either get transferred pre-season, find a new ho, or get relegated to the second team as a backup. Anyway, the strategy group doesn’t want —could also be wary other clubs might need , so they’re keeping around. Seems like the latter two are quite likely now."
"Isn’t that just being sidelined?" Jiaozi Niu expressed discontent: "That’s too much. You’re still so young, haven’t had much ti on the field, and the team wants to shelf you already."
"Don’t get worked up, in so sense it’s a good thing."
Cumin Powder sent a sunglasses emoji, acting indifferent:
"Since the team doesn’t want to manage , I can go wherever I want next—that’s why I ca to you, alright, solo runner-up Caral Snail, got any suggestions?"
"For , it feels like Subrgence Starry Abyss would be quite nice..."
Jiaozi Niu was about to reply when scenes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Welco to Ziluo Star."
Li Aozi’s visage erged before him:
"The full na is—dium-sized Parasite [lodic Society] lodycal."
"50 years ago, this planet was already parasitized. A girl nad ’Xia Beiluo’ was replicated into a ; the whole planet has largely fallen to the ’rock’ cultural invasion, irreversible."
