Tang Muzhou took Xie Mingzhe into the elevator, and the sightseeing elevator went all the way to the top floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard soft light music. The restaurant was decorated in the style of an aquarium, and there were many colorful fish in the transparent glass bathtub.

The dining environment on the top floor of the hotel was quite romantic. Xie Mingzhe secretly wrote down the address and thought that if he had a boyfriend in the future, he would bring him here to eat. Dating with a boyfriend in a romantic environment will definitely make the relationship heat up quickly. Isn't that what the books say?

Tang Muzhou took Xie Mingzhe into the private room and sat him down. He asked gently, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Xie Mingzhe shook his head: "No, brother, just order two dishes. I'm not that hungry."

Tang Muzhou took the computer for ordering food and quickly checked some food.

The time spent waiting for the food to be served was a bit boring, so Tang Muzhou walked to the French window, turned around and waved, "Come over here."

Xie Mingzhe walked over to him puzzledly and stood beside him. He looked out in the direction of his gaze and was immediately stunned.

This building is one of the tallest buildings in the imperial capital. It is located in the bustling area of ​​the city center. Standing on the top floor, you can overlook the night view of the entire imperial capital.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, one skyscraper after another is ablaze with lights. The suspended driveways in the air crisscross each other. The ten-story driveways are like neon ribbons extending into the distance, winding and twisting with no end in sight. The lights from the vehicles are like stars twinkling in the night sky, and together with the colorful lights from the high-rise buildings, they form a perfect night scene, highlighting the prosperity of this metropolis.

This is the most spectacular night view Xie Mingzhe has ever seen.

Tang Muzhou smiled and introduced: "The rooftop restaurant of this hotel is the best place to see the night view of the imperial capital. I came here not only to see the night view, but also to introduce you to a few clubs - look over there, the fiery red building is the headquarters of the Judgment Club."

Xie Mingzhe followed his gaze and saw a building several dozen stories high rising from the ground, like a sword pointing to the sky. The building's exterior was painted a fiery red, standing out among the surrounding buildings. The "Judgment" club icon glowed brightly in the night, like a burning flame, exactly the same as the guild icon seen in the game.

The headquarters of the court is located in a prosperous area in the city center, which shows that this club is really wealthy.

Tang Muzhou said: "The black building over there is the Hell Club."

Xie Mingzhe turned his head and saw that the style of Ghost Hell was quite unique. The pure black building disappeared into the night, and only the outline could be vaguely seen under the illumination of the surrounding lights. There were no light strips on the building, only the unique "Ghost Hell" club icon on the roof, which flickered in the darkness, like a faint light from the depths of hell.

If there weren't so many tall buildings around, this building standing alone would remind people of a horror movie.

Xie Mingzhe shifted his gaze and looked forward, pointing to the building in the distance and said, "To the southeast, the building with green vines as the main lighting effect should be the headquarters of Fenghua Club, right?"

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "That's right. In the city center, the three clubs Fenghua, Judgment and Guiyu are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. These three buildings were originally office buildings, which were bought by the three clubs and renovated in different styles. Being able to buy a property in the imperial capital is a symbol of the club's strength, not to mention in the city center."

Hearing this, Xie Mingzhe was full of admiration. His senior brother was able to create the Fenghua Club on his own. In addition to his strong ability in competitions, his financial strength should not be underestimated. The sponsorship funds he raised were estimated to be an astronomical figure.

The next moment, Tang Muzhou suddenly said, "It just so happens that three clubs have invited you before, but you refused them all." He turned around and looked at his junior brother, his expression rare and serious, "If you had agreed to any of them, maybe you would have been packaged as a popular professional player this season and would not have to start from scratch. Do you regret it?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled confidently: "I never regret anything I do. Joining these three top clubs will indeed have a good development prospect, but I think it is more fun to plant a fruit tree with my own hands and wait for the harvest than to take other people's fruits directly. This is also a challenge for me."

Looking at the young man's energetic appearance, Tang Muzhou discovered for the first time that his junior brother was actually much more determined than he had imagined.

It is rare for a young person to have such a firm belief.

This reminded Tang Muzhou of himself when he was 18 years old. Many people advised him to go to the professional league, and his family was also very opposed. But he still insisted on doing it, always wanting to prove himself, and refused to listen to anyone's advice.

His father told him that if he regretted it one day, he could return to the Tang family, where they would still provide him with a way out. I remember that I said without hesitation, “I won’t regret it.”

That persistent and proud young man seemed to gradually overlap with Xie Mingzhe in front of him.

He always wanted to help Xie Mingzhe, because Xie Mingzhe's current mentality was too similar to his back then. Tang Muzhou couldn't help but want to give his junior some advice as a senior, so that his junior could take fewer detours.

Thinking of this, Tang Muzhou's eyes became even gentler. He looked into Xie Mingzhe's eyes and said softly, "I also believe that you can do it. Perhaps soon, your Nirvana Club will have its own base in this prosperous imperial capital."

Xie Mingzhe nodded vigorously: "This is also my next goal! Even if we can't afford to buy a high-rise building in the city center, we will never be limited to Brother Chen's studio. In the future, when the club expands, I also plan to rent an office building."

Tang Muzhou said: "Remember to invite me to visit your new base when the time comes."

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Sure!"

The two smiled at each other. Xie Mingzhe was particularly excited by the feeling of "meeting a soulmate".

Tang Muzhou founded the Fenghua Club himself, so he must be very familiar with the process. He also gave me a lot of guidance as a senior. Xie Mingzhe was actually very grateful to him, but he never had the chance to express it.

Today, the two of them were alone. Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you asked the Fenghua Second Team to find the flaws in my deck before, and you taught me so attentively in today's guest competition. I have always wanted to thank you very much. How about I treat you to a meal?"

Tang Muzhou chuckled: "Invite you to dinner, how boring is this way of thanking? Why not try another way."

Xie Mingzhe looked up at him seriously: "How do you want me to thank you?"

Tang Muzhou's heart skipped a beat.

The colored lights outside the window illuminated the house brightly. The boy's pupils were as clear as precious gems. He raised his head and looked at him. The sincerity in his eyes seemed to have hit the softest part of his heart.

Looking at each other at such a close distance, even the warm breath of each other could be clearly felt.

Xie Mingzhe's lips had a very natural light pink hue, his teeth were white and neat under his lips, and the smile on his face was pure and dazzling. Being stared at so intently by him, Tang Muzhou found that his heartbeat seemed to be getting faster and faster.

Taking a deep breath and ignoring the strangeness in his heart, Tang Muzhou whispered, "I'll owe it to you for now, and I'll talk to you later when I think of it."

Xie Mingzhe was not so naive, and he immediately objected, "No, considering how full of bad water you are, I think the phrase 'owe it first' is definitely a big trap. I don't want to owe you a favor, or you might sell me out in the future."

It seems that the clever junior brother is not going to fall into the trap?

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "You really understand me. How about this, since you like drawing cards so much, you can enlarge the [Tang Muzhou Card] you gave me today ten times and draw it on paper, frame it and give it to me, and I will hang it on the wall as a souvenir."

Xie Mingzhe was a little embarrassed: "I just drew that character card for fun. The skills I designed for you, such as gentle appearance and full of bad water... It would be bad if someone saw it, right?"

Tang Muzhou said softly, "As long as I like it. Besides, I won't let anyone see the card you gave me. I'll hang it in my bedroom, and no one dares to enter my bedroom casually."

Since the other party said so, Xie Mingzhe had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will go back and draw another one for you."

Just at this moment, the waiter knocked on the door, and the two stopped talking, turned around and sat down at the dining table.

Tang Muzhou ordered a table full of delicious food, most of which were light vegetarian dishes. It was already past ten o'clock, and eating too much greasy food would be difficult to digest. The dishes here looked very exquisite, which made Xie Mingzhe's appetite open.

Tang Muzhou handed him the chopsticks and said, "Try it."

Xie Mingzhe picked it up and took a bite, then squinted his eyes and said, "This is so delicious!"

The chef of this hotel is definitely top-notch as he can cook vegetarian dishes so deliciously.

Tang Muzhou didn't have much of an appetite at first, but seeing his junior apprentice eating so happily, he couldn't help but eat a little more. The delicious food slid into his stomach, and eating supper with someone he could chat with seemed to become a kind of enjoyment.

Halfway through the meal, Tang Muzhou finally broke the silence by saying, "Do you really understand everything I taught you today?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, let me tell you my understanding first. If it's wrong, please explain it to me in detail." He put down his chopsticks, coughed lightly to clear his throat, and said: "First of all, my ghost card deck actually has a big flaw. There are no cards that can release control. It will collapse easily if it is controlled. If Meng Po is slow to release and cannot destroy the opponent's control skills in time, it is very likely that the opponent will be taken away by a wave of strong control..."

"Secondly, this deck relies too much on Black Impermanence's explosion marker to clear the field. If the opponent confuses or rebounds, then we will be the only ones to be cleared. The output method is too simple. I still need to make some more output cards to improve the tactics."

"The third point... I don't know if I understand it correctly. Brother, when you summoned the Night Light Tree, were you reminding me not to rely too much on the night scene map to launch sneak attacks? The map is also a very critical factor in the game?"

Listening to his careful analysis point by point, Tang Muzhou was full of admiration.

This smart and clever little junior brother becomes more and more likable the more you watch him.

Tang Muzhou raised his lips, his eyes softened involuntarily; "You are right, you can solve the first and second points by improving the deck. The third point, the map problem, is not urgent to deal with now, but you will have to consider the impact of the map sooner or later."

"The official team has created many competition maps, but each club can also submit their own home maps in the new season. For example, the 'Scorched Earth' map used in today's game was developed by the Judgement Club in the fifth season. Because Nie Yuandao is particularly good at frontal damage, this map reduces 10 points of mental power per second and will force all cards to be summoned at the beginning of the game, which is suitable for Nie Yuandao to directly play a fast break."

"The maps that Liushuang City excels at are completely the opposite. They like maps with slowing effects such as snow scenes and pools, which can greatly reduce the damage of the opponent's normal attack cards and drag the game into the later stages."

"The Fenghua Club is good at mostly forest maps with negative status; the Dark Night City is better at trap maps..."

"Although the league does not require every club to produce scene cards, after so many years of competition, everyone knows that customized home cards will definitely be more advantageous. If you want to establish a Nirvana Club, you must also make a few scene cards suitable for your own players in the future."

The production of scene cards is more difficult than ordinary battle cards. After all, large scenes require a lot of attention to details. Professional painters need several days to draw a complete scene picture, not to mention that they have to tailor scene cards with more advantages according to the style of their own players. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe asked: "Are scene cards also reviewed by the database? What are the restrictions?"

Tang Muzhou explained, "Scene cards are submitted to the league organizing committee for review one month before the start of the competition. Once approved, they are added to the league map library. When making scenario cards, the positive and negative states must be effective for all cards. For example, if you want to slow down, all cards will slow down together. You cannot let the opponent slow down while you speed up. The scenario needs to be absolutely fair."

Xie Mingzhe touched his chin thoughtfully: "That is to say, on the surface, a scene card looks fair to everyone, but in reality, because each club's deck has a fixed style, different scenes will produce some advantages for one side. However, the scene is only a relative advantage, which does not mean that the home map will definitely win."

Tang Muzhou praised: "That's right. It's not easy to play at home, but it's not impossible. Last season, we played against several clubs at home and won. The key is still the players' awareness and cooperation."

Xie Mingzhe nodded excitedly: "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I will study the production of scene cards carefully when I go back. Our Nirvana Club must not always use other people's scenes. We must also have some home maps that we can show off!"

Seeing his confident look, Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "I am looking forward to it. In the future, Nirvana's home court may become a nightmare for many players who don't want to play in the competition."

They smiled at each other.

Xie Mingzhe immediately felt that if his fellow disciples teamed up to cheat others, all the great gods would suffer.

Fortunately, we are not from the same club, otherwise the hatred value would be too scary.
