This week, Chu Yan had been taking a leave to accompany Zhu Qingyue at home, and Zhu Qingyue was not shy about telling him about the new game auxiliary and discussing it with his master. It seemed that master and apprentice were back to the days when they were still in the Pure Cleansing team. Although Chu Yan retired a long time ago, Zhu Qingyue still benefited a lot from his master. His master consideration was more comprehensive than him, and he could think of many details that he himself had not thought of. After the exchanges over the past few days, Zhu Qingyue only felt suddenly enlightened, and also full of confidence in the next competition.
At three o’clock on Sunday afternoon, Qin Mo had just watched a competition video and went to open the window to get some air. He happened to see a familiar private car downstairs—— it was Chu Yan’s car. Qin Mo had seen him send Qingyue back for the third time and had become accustomed to it.
Sure enough, a moment later Zhu Qingyue came to the training room brimming with happiness. “Have you stayed with your master these days?” Qin Mo asked casually.
“En,” Although Zhu Qingyue was blushed, he still tried to reply calmly. “I have some ideas in auxiliary, and went to him to ask for some advice…”
Qin Mo had seen through the relationship between them for a long time, but he didn’t want to make Zhu Qingyue embarrassed. So, he followed his words. “No wonder you look full of vitality. You should have gained a lot these days?”
Zhu Qingyue nodded. “My master is worthy of being the first batch of players to play auxiliary. After discussing with him, I solved a lot of confusion in my mind. I was just about to tell you.”
“Really?” Xiao Han also leaned in with interest, “Let’s hear it.” and Zhu Qingyue told Han-Mo what he had learned, and discussed the possibility of using auxiliary control field in the team battle.
Time passed quickly, and by five o’clock in the afternoon, the team members had arrived one after another.
Pei Yu and He Beiguang were fellow villagers, and they came back on the same flight. Both Liu Hong and Liu Xiang sisters naturally went in and out together. What puzzled Qin Mo was that Li Muran and Shen He also arrived together——Li Muran went back to Shenzhen, and Shen He went to Nanjing, and it would not be a coincidence that they could bump into each other.
“How did both of you come back together?” Xiao Han asked directly. “Is it also for discussion?”
“I was going back to Nanjing,” Shen He smiled and scratched his head. “But my parents were not home, and went on a business trip. So, I went to Shenzhen with brother Ran, and played at Happy Valley, it’s fun!”
Qin Mo: “…”
Happy Valley was a large amusement park. Qin Mo went there once when he was ten years old. Unexpectedly, Shen He was already 18 years old and still enjoyed going to the amusement park. When a hyperactive teenager went to such a lively place as an amusement park, he was sure to have a good time. It must be very hard for Li Muran to accompany him all the way.
Taking a look at Li Muran, Qin Mo found that he was still expressionless, and he didn’t seem to mind accompanying Shen He. Qin Mo didn’t bother to ask about the arrangements of the younger generation during the holiday. Seeing the arrival of the team members, he stood up. “Let’s go to dinner first, and then gather in the conference room after dinner.”

Dragon Song club’s canteen was very delicious. During their stay in the club, most of the three meals a day were served in the canteen. But unexpectedly, as Qin Mo and his team members entered the canteen, they met Liu Chuan. He and Wu Zewen also took a plate to eat in the canteen, which was a rare sight.
Xiao Han came over and took the initiative to greet them. “Boss is here too? Are you not busy?”

“I just came back from the meeting, and I will stay in Changsha for a month.” Liu Chuan smiled, “I haven’t eaten in the canteen for a long time, actually I miss the food in the canteen. The food in our Dragon Song canteen is the best.”

Knowing that Qin Mo did not like to joke, Liu Chuan stopped smiling and asked seriously, “How are the preparations for the league?”
“The lineup practice is almost done,” Qin Mo replied. “In the following week, we will do some targeted training according to the opponent.”
Liu Chuan nodded. “The league tournament system is touring to various places. It will be hard for the players to fly around. However, with Liu Xiang as the team leader, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“En,” Qin Mo agreed. “Sister Xiang is indeed very attentive.”
“I have already contacted the competition venues here in Changsha.” Liu Chuan continued. “On Mojue’s home court, many fans of the support club will also come over to cheer you on. The number of fans far exceeds my imagination. You can also experience what home court advantage is.”
“Does Mojue have so many fans?” Xiao Han asked suspiciously.
“I didn’t expect it either.” Liu Chuan smiled. “At the beginning of the year, there were only a few thousand fans following Mojue team’s official Weibo, and most of them were old fans who used to like Xiao Han. By the end of the last event, the number of fans of the official Weibo has increased more than ten times, and the growth rate is amazing.”
Wu Zewen conveniently took out a document and handed it to Qin Mo. “Many fans sent emails to Dragon Song club, hoping to set up an official support club as soon as possible.”
Looking at the data in the file, Qin Mo was shocked by the explosive growth of the number of fans.
At the beginning, Qin Mo and Xiao Han were busy training the team and had no time to be distracted. They didn’t even think about setting up a support club. They just built an official platform on Weibo and gave it to Liu Xiang to take care of. The Weibo only published the competition information of the Mojue team and forwarded some statements of the team members. Unexpectedly, the attention of the official Weibo had increased more than ten times in a few months. Unexpectedly, many fans took the initiative to send emails to Dragon Song club to plead for the establishment of the official support club of Mojue team. As the captain, Qin Mo was somewhat neglecting his duty at this point.
He put all his thoughts on the game, so he ignored the interaction with fans…
Thinking of the scene he saw on the street after Guangzhou’s competition, Lu Xiang’s fans gathered around him to deliver food and seemed to get along well with each other… However, Mojue’s team members, so far, no one had had a positive communication with the fans.
Fans liked them, supported them, and even some loyal fans traveled thousands of miles to buy plane tickets to watch the game, just to cheer a few words. Although the performance of the team depended on the strength of the players themselves, it had nothing to do with the number of fans, but the fans’ love and support were not taken for granted, they should not be too indifferent and should be given something in return.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo turned to ask at Xiao Han. “I don’t have much experience about the establishment and management of the support club. What do you think?”
“In the past, when I was Canglan’s captain, it was Xiao Zhuo who was in charge of the support club. Why don’t I ask him later?”
While both of them were chatting, Liu Chuan suddenly laughed. “Both of you, the expert is already in front of you, why seek far when there is near, seeking for other people?”
Qin Mo was stunned. He looked at Wu Zewen, who was seriously eating vegetables, “That’s right, Zewen should be very experienced…” He suddenly realised.
“Indeed, Zewen is the housekeeper, and he is very good at this.” Xiao Han also responded. “Why don’t you tell us about it? What should we do after the support club is established?”
Wu Zewen fixed his glasses and seriously replied. “The official support club is not a child’s play, nor can anyone join it. It is necessary to formulate some rules and regulations and impose certain restrictions on its members. At the same time, we should also give some benefits to the members, such as holding regular meetings, or giving special gifts, signatures and so on. From my previous experience, the official support club can enhance the cohesion of the fans. The fans who join the official association are generally very loyal fans, and with the support of these loyal fans, it is also good for the development of the team.”
Qin Mo thought it was reasonable. “There is still a week away from the last league match, just take advantage of this time to get the official meeting up… This matter can be handed over to sister Xiang, and let her find Zewen another day to learn. What do you think?”
“It’s possible,” Xiao Han nodded in agreement. “Sister Xiang is very friendly, plus she used to be a great god, we can also be completely relieved when she comes to manage the official meeting.”
After discussion, they decided happily. After dinner, Qin Mo told Liu Xiang about it. Liu Xiang was very happy to be the housekeeper of the support club. She immediately took a pen and paper to find Wu Zewen to learn. Qin Mo gathered the players in the conference room to prepare for the next competition.
Qin Mo connected the USB flash drive to the projection screen, and he made a PPT to show everyone the main lineup and characteristics of the major teams studied in the past few days—— the PPT made by captain Qin was first-class and focused, so it could be used to participate in the speech contest. He was worthy to be Ling Xuefeng’s apprentice, it was said that the PPT made by Ling Xuefeng was excellent, and Qin Mo inherited his master’s skill.
After showing the details of all the teams, Qin Mo released the final interpretation of the league system. “The official league is a big team battle of 5V5, including the game mode we have come into contact with in the arena, including ‘Escort Mode’, ‘Secret Letter Mode’ and ‘Treasure Hunting Mode’ that appeared at the carnival.” He continued. “Home team is free to choose the mode and map, and the away team is free to ban the three secret books. With regard to the secret books, we have practiced all kinds of cooperation in the previous training, which will be matched according to different teams at that time. And the game mode, we already familiar with the first two, but there’s the league’s new ‘Treasure Hunting Mode’. The competition service has just been opened recently, we need to focus on practice in the following weeks.”
Everyone listened carefully to the captain, whether it was the characteristics of each team, or the various modes of the league, he said in great detail, obviously after adequate preparation.
In the final league, the tactical requirements were further improved, and the level of brilliance was much higher than the previous small events. The defensive side and the offensive side of the ‘Escort Mode’ had different winning conditions; ‘Secret Letter Mode’ was more like the competition for wild BOSS; ‘Treasure Hunting Mode’ was the most skillful. Whether it was to seize the opportunity to get more treasures, or wait for opportunity to reap the benefits, it needed comprehensive consideration from the on-site command.
On the league stage, the commander’s pressure was the greatest. Everyone knew Qin Mo’s hard work, so they would work harder in the following training periods.
On Friday, Liu Xiang took the time to report to Qin Mo about the progress of the establishment of the support club. The number of members who joined the club far exceeded her expectations, and Liu Xiang’s expression showed a rare look of excitement. “I didn’t expect that I just made an announcement on the official Weibo. In a few days, tens of thousands of people applied to join the club, and the statistical list alone would be dazzling…”
She showed the statistical results to Qin Mo. “I already consulted Zewen, referring to his idea, we should lower the admission fee for the early stage, and give them commemorative souvenirs after the membership admission closed,” Pausing for a moment, she added. “It’s just… if you calculated carefully, the cost of the souvenirs production will be greater than the membership fee.”
Qin Mo’s father was a businessman, and he knew very well that the initial establishment of an official club was actually a way to lose money. However, he set up a support club not to make money, but to give Mojue team a strong backing, so that even if he was not in Mojue in the future, there would be a lot of fans to support the next generation of players.
Looking at Liu Xiang’s worried gaze, Qin Mo simply replied. “It doesn’t matter, our team is well funded, so this is not a problem. I will trouble sister Xiang to worry about the official meeting more. You can decide about the souvenir matter, I’ll fully cooperate with you.”
“Okay,” Liu Xiang smiled. “You can play the game without worry, and leave these things to me.”
Qin Mo nodded, thinking that when he brought Liu Xiang Mojue team, he really picked up the treasure and helped him solve countless chores, so that they would have no worries.
***
The news of the establishment of Mojue’s support club soon spread all over the league. Of course, other teams also had their own fan organizations. It was not unusual that Mojue’s support club was established. It was amazing that the number of this club exceeded 100,000 in just one week, which could be said to be unprecedented.
The establishment of the official meeting had brought fans together, and the official group was very lively. Everyone was trying to cheer for their favorite players and teams. There were also great designers who designed various Q-version emoticon packs and stickers for all Mojue’s member. After Zhu Qingyue’s little crying bags expression pack was placed on Weibo, the download times were amazing … Even Zhu Qingyue himself forwarded and downloaded it. “The drawing is very lifelike, it resembles me a little.”
It happened to be Mojue’s home court for the first week of the professional league match, the president temporarily elected by the official support club was ready to give the players a surprise.
Upon entering the local venue in Changsha with his team members this afternoon, Qin Mo was surprised to find that the scene was full enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the auditorium, many fans holding colourful lightsticks, and these lightsticks created a huge picture—— it was the game avatar of Mojue’s eight players and four characters of—— Mojue Fighting.
Eight game avatars with different movements, surrounded by the four characters ‘Mojue Fighting’, looking like a close family.
Among them, Qin Mo’s game avatar Ink Mark, using the ‘Skyward Sword’ skill stance, pointing the long sword to the sky; Xiao Han’s game avatar Thousand Miles Ice, throwing the bloody dagger in his hands forward to kill the enemy; Qingyue’s Bright Moon Clear Sky stood aside with his simple yet elegant white umbrella, looking elegant and graceful; Liu Hong’s Three Waterdrop with her double rings, looking formidable; He Beiguang’s Northern Lights with his powerful broadsword blocking out the sun and covering the earth, a hundred percent bold and powerful; Pei Yu’s Falling Feathers played his jade flute with excellent demeanor; Shen He’s Drunken River followed by mechanical puppet, looking very smart; Li Muran’s Silence with a shining silver needle, a kind of healer style.
Eight lifelike drawings, as if eight people really came out of the game and gathered together.
Seeing this scene from backstage big screen, Qin Mo’s nose couldn’t help but feel sour.
Such a big picture was pieced together by lightstick held up by many fans, just like a giant jigsaw puzzle. From the making of the big picture to the decomposition of the small picture, and even the position of each person, they had been carefully designed, which was the first gift given to them by Mojue official support club.
No wonder that day Liu Chuan said ‘experience the home court advantage’, not until this moment, Qin Mo finally understood what it was like.
The team created by himself, fighting at home court and getting the support of so many fans, was just like the children he brought up to get the love of many people. This kind of excitement was mixed with a little pride, which he had never experienced before.
He was really gratified that Mojue had so many supporters.
And as the captain, he naturally would not let those who like Mojue be disappointed.
Qin Mo’s lips curved slightly, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand. “Play well in today’s game, let everyone see what Mojue likes in our home court!”
The team members were also very excited at this time, especially several teenagers, who were very excited to see their game avatar being made into a big glowing picture by fans at the scene. As soon as Qin Mo opened his mouth, everyone immediately consciously came over and held hands together. “Fighting!”
The first major league competition was Mojue’s home court.
Qin Mo hoped that the Mojue team created by him and Xiao Han could once again create the myth of unbeaten home court games in the professional league.
