Chen Xiao knew his brother's temper. If he had no interest in Xie Mingzhe, he would not even open the door. Since he opened the door to let the two in, looked at the character card made by Xie Mingzhe, and prompted Xie Mingzhe to make a most common copy card, it showed that he had made up his mind. However, he wanted to test Xie Mingzhe to see if Xie Mingzhe really had talent before deciding whether to accept him as a disciple.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and the matter had been discussed. Originally, Chen Xiao should have taken Xie Mingzhe away quickly, but Chen Xiao shamelessly stayed: "Brother, how about I go cook, and we can have lunch before leaving, and you can chat with Xiao Xie more."

Chen Qianlin didn't want to chase him away in front of Xie Mingzhe, so he gave Chen Xiao some face. "There's food in the refrigerator. Just make two dishes."

Chen Xiao said "hmm", rolled up his sleeves excitedly and went to the kitchen to cook.

Chen Qianlin got up and went to the study to get a thick notebook. The cover of the notebook looked very old, and the paper was yellowed, obviously it was quite old. He handed the notebook to Xie Mingzhe: "I wrote an analysis of the five skills when I first started. Take it and have a look. These are just the basics."

Xie Mingzhe took it gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master Lin! Did you write this yourself?"

Chen Qianlin nodded: "I am used to taking notes by hand. Handwriting can deepen the brain's memory. It is just like drawing. Images drawn by hand are always more impressive than those made on the computer."

Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Can you paint? I saw there is a studio next to the study."

"It's just a hobby, just some flowers and plants." Chen Qianlin said, "Please read the notes first."

"Okay." Xie Mingzhe opened the notebook and found that Chen Qianlin's handwriting was as neat as printed text, recording many different skills of the five elements. Especially the wood element, Chen Qianlin himself made a wood element deck, and he wrote dozens of pages just analyzing the control skills of wood element cards...

Xie Mingzhe held the notebook in his hands as if it were a treasure and read it with great interest.

Chen Qianlin noticed that the boy lowered his head and looked through his notes very seriously with a very serious attitude, and he couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.

When he wrote this note, he had just started learning, and he recorded all kinds of skills in great detail with a learning mentality. In addition to writing the five skill settings, his notes also wrote a lot of his own understanding. Some impetuous young people would be impatient to read it, but Xie Mingzhe seemed to like it. When he saw the key points, the boy sometimes tilted his head in thought, and sometimes nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. The way he studied seriously was quite cute.

Chen Qianlin chuckled, did not disturb him, got up and walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Chen Xiao was cooking with his sleeves rolled up. He was now a tall adult man, and his whole temperament had changed, but his eyes and brows still had the familiar look in his memory.

Chen Xiao immediately became nervous when he found Chen Qianlin behind him: "Brother, how did you get in..."

Chen Qianlin said calmly, "There are only two of us here, so you don't need to make excuses. You came to see me not just for Xie Mingzhe, right?"

Chen Xiao's back stiffened slightly, and after a moment, he said, "I have regretted all these years. I was drunk and unconscious, and I said a lot of nonsense to you. I want to apologize to you in person and say sorry to you formally..."

"Do you think that's all I care about?" Chen Qianlin's voice was cold. "You also hid from me that you did something stupid. Do you need me to remind you?"

“……”Chen Xiao’s face was very embarrassed.

"Why sign a contract with Shao Bo?" Chen Qianlin asked directly.

"..." Chen Xiao looked away angrily, wishing he could go back and slap himself. His face flushed under his brother's cold gaze, and he took a deep breath before whispering, "Brother, my original thoughts were too naive. You are the best player in the professional league, and I have always admired you. Shao Bo told me that as long as I signed up with the Sanctuary Club, he would let me debut early and play in the competition with you."

"The league added a doubles competition in the fifth season. My brother didn't have a good partner at the time, so I thought that if I could join the Sanctuary, I could play doubles with my brother. We would definitely work well together..."

"So you hid the fact that I signed a player contract with him from me?" Chen Qianlin interrupted him unhappily.

"..." Chen Xiao lowered his head in deep regret. When he signed the contract, his brother and Shao Bo hadn't quarreled yet. He didn't expect there would be a trap in the contract. He just wanted to play in the competition with his brother. Shao Bo was the person his brother trusted the most, and the other party spoke very nicely, so he simply signed the contract and hid it from his brother. He wanted to give him a surprise.

As a result, his self-righteous "surprise" brought great trouble to his brother. Chen Qianlin's decisive retirement was actually due to this reason. Chen Xiao was embarrassed to tell Xie Mingzhe that it was his childish behavior that put his brother in a very passive situation.

Not only was he cheated, but his younger brother also signed the contract - Chen Qianlin was so disappointed that he couldn't describe it in words.

The double blow from his childhood friend and his younger brother made him disheartened, so he left.

Chen Xiao realized that he had made a big mistake. He shouldn't have made the decision in private without telling his brother, but he didn't know how to make up for it at that time. After his brother left, he hated the Sanctuary Club so much that he could only secretly swear not to make a penny for Sanctuary.

At the beginning of the fifth season, Shao Bo asked him to play in the competition according to the contract, and he deliberately lost on the court without making a sound. Many opponents did not realize that the boy did it on purpose, but only thought that he always lost his touch at critical moments and failed to grasp the opportunity.

After losing ten games in a row, Chen Qianlin's fans couldn't stand it anymore and left messages to curse him: "You are Lin Shen's younger brother? What a loser!" "You are not even one ten-thousandth as good as your brother!" "This idiot actually signed with the Holy Land Club. If I were Lin Shen, I would be so angry that I would vomit blood!" "How could Lin Shen, such a good person, have such an idiotic brother? Is he really his biological brother?"...

Amidst countless negative comments, Chen Xiao met Tang Muzhou on the court.

Both debuted in the fifth season. Tang Muzhou is an unstoppable talent, while Chen Xiao is a fool who only brings shame to his brother. Tang Muzhou's 10 consecutive wins and Chen Xiao's 10 consecutive losses were very ironic. The final result was as expected by the audience. Chen Xiao always couldn't keep up with the rhythm at the critical moment and was completely defeated by Tang Muzhou, 0:2, and lost particularly cleanly.

After the match, Tang Muzhou walked up to him and whispered in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You lost very realistically. I am the only one in the alliance who knows how strong you are. Today's match doesn't count in my heart. When you come back one day, we'll have another real showdown."

Chen Xiao did not answer. He and Tang Muzhou had a very good relationship in private. Tang Muzhou understood him and had long seen through his acting. He also knew that he acted like this just to get away from the control of the Sanctuary Club as soon as possible.

But most of the audience and Shao Bo didn't know Chen Xiao's true strength. They thought Chen Xiao was a useless person, so Shao Bo didn't care about him. Chen Xiao took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Shao, I really don't have the talent to play in competitions. I'd better go back to school. You don't have to pay me anymore. How about we just terminate the contract?"

Shao Bo said with a wry smile: "It's fine for you to go back to study, but there's no point in terminating a signed contract... I'll pay you your salary as usual, a base salary of 1,500 yuan a month. I'll give you some living expenses for college for your brother's sake." Although Chen Xiao was a greenhorn, he still felt a little jealous of the young man. After all, Chen Qianlin once mentioned that his younger brother's talent was no worse than his own.

Chen Xiao resisted the urge to beat the man into a pig's head and said calmly, "Okay, then Mr. Lao Shao will keep the contract for me."

He left the Sanctuary Club as quietly as possible and went to college.

During the contract period, he did not want to earn a penny for the Sanctuary, and even less did he want to win a game to attract attention. When the contract expires and the card copyright is returned to him, he will return to the arena he loves most with the true strength of Chen Xiao.

He had originally planned to play the game officially next season, but the appearance of Xie Mingzhe simply brought forward his plan.

Seeing the annoyance and remorse on his brother's face, Chen Qianlin couldn't help but soften his voice and said, "You brought Xie Mingzhe to see me today. Have you finally made up your mind? Do you plan to fight back against the alliance with Xie Mingzhe next year?"

"Yes." Chen Xiao paused and added, "Brother, don't worry. I'm afraid that the copyright of the cards I made will belong to the Holy Land Club. I haven't made a single card in these years, so I didn't lose out by signing the contract. The Holy Land didn't get any benefit from me, and they still have to pay me 1,500 yuan a month. Shao Bo is very cautious, but I'm also very secretive. I've thought of many card production plans in private, and the entire set of cards has been designed in my mind. Once the contract expires, I will make them all."

"You'd better find Shao Bo to formally sign a written termination agreement, so as not to let him hold you hostage again." Chen Qianlin suggested.

"Of course, I've even hired a lawyer and will meet him next week."

The two were silent for a moment before Chen Xiao changed the subject and said softly, "Brother, I have always respected you. I was only 18 years old at the time, and I was a little ignorant in terms of feelings. Don't take my nonsense to heart. We will just be relatives from now on, okay? I will never say anything I shouldn't say again, so please forgive me."

He looked at his brother anxiously. After not seeing each other for five years, their relationship had reached a freezing point. Chen Xiao hoped that things would gradually warm up. Even if they were just brothers in the future, it would be better than never seeing each other again. He was too impatient at first. Anyone would be angry if he suddenly confessed his love to him. In the future, as long as they had the opportunity to get along, he would slowly try to impress his brother. Maybe there was still hope?

As if he believed his words, or was just willing to give him this step, Chen Qianlin closed his eyes slightly and said, "After you get the termination agreement with the Holy Land, make another deck and show it to me."

Chen Xiao was surprised and delighted, his fingers were shaking with excitement: "Okay, I'll come with Xiao Xie next time!"

***

After lunch, Chen Xiao reluctantly took Xie Mingzhe away.

On the way back, he was full of energy, like a child who got a reward from his parents for doing well on the test. It was obvious that his relationship with his brother had been eased, which made him very excited. Xie Mingzhe didn't know about the feud between the brothers, but he was happy for him that the two could reconcile.

Chen Qianlin lived too far away, and it was already evening when he returned to the studio. Chi Qing came over to report the situation. All the cards in Xie Mingzhe's store were sold out, and 10 million game coins were deposited today. In addition, the materials accumulated during this period of time could no longer be stored in the warehouse.

After hearing this, Chen Xiao said, "How about this? It's troublesome to keep all the materials with Ah Qing. Let's set up a guild, open a guild territory, and build a warehouse to store the materials."

Everyone agreed.

Xie Mingzhe asked: "What is the name of the guild?"

Xiaopang raised his hand and suggested: "How about calling it Nirvana? Our studio should be called Nirvana. It's simple and easy to remember."

Chen Xiao looked at Xie Mingzhe: "What do you think, Xiao Xie?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded readily: "Let's call it Nirvana, I think it's good too!"

The name of the studio "Nirvana" was chosen by Chen Xiao, which just happened to fit Xie Mingzhe's experience.

For Chen Xiao, the mistakes he made in his youth can no longer be made up for. Nirvana means leaving the past behind and starting over. For Xie Mingzhe, his life on Earth in his previous life has ended, and being reborn in another world is also a fresh start.

The two hit it off immediately and came to the Aquarius Star Service Center together, paying game coins to establish the Nirvana Guild.

Chen Xiao originally wanted to give the position of president to Xie Mingzhe, but Xie Mingzhe gave it to Chi Qing, saying, "I don't have that much time to manage the guild, so let Sister Qing do it."

His trust warmed Chi Qing's heart, and he nodded seriously: "I, Yingying, Xiaopang, and Jinzi will manage it together, and we will appoint a vice president for each of us."

As for the color of the territory planet, after some discussion, everyone decided to set it to white.

The current major guilds are: Judgment is red, Fenghua is green, Dark Night City is dark purple, Hell is pure black, and Frost City is icy blue. It is said that Temple of the Gods is the gold of the gold card deck. White does not conflict with the six major clubs, and Xie Mingzhe thinks that white can be all-encompassing and also symbolizes "starting from scratch."

The sixth territory star was opened on Xie Mingzhe's galaxy navigation map.

A pure white planet surrounded by a beautiful soft light.

This is the guild territory that truly belongs to him - Nirvana Guild!

It’s a good feeling to have a guild. Everyone can be directly teleported back to the territory from the galaxy map.

However, the newly established guild was just a large wasteland, and all the buildings had to be designed by the players themselves. Fortunately, Chi Qing was a decoration expert. With the help of his sister Chi Yingying, the two bought various building materials from the mall, laid the floor, built the house, and did landscaping...

The two girls were busy and having a lot of fun.

Chi Yingying asked: "There are only six of us in the guild right now. Do we need to recruit people to start guild missions?"

Pang Yu said: "Guild missions are large-scale group dungeons with more than 10 people. Although they are difficult to complete, the rewards are richer than daily dungeons. The most important thing is that guild missions drop enhancement cards, which are very difficult to buy on the market!"

Jin Yue also said: "If there is a guild mission, the dungeon will be handed over to me and Fatty. Each of us will lead a group, and we won't have to worry about the later strengthening cards."

Chi Yingying said: "I will be responsible for publicity and recruitment."

Xie Mingzhe looked at Chen Xiao in surprise. He had never thought that the people that Brother Chen recruited for the power leveling studio had their own strengths. Was this originally intended to build a guild? In this case, it seemed that he had accidentally joined the Nirvana Studio and had really picked up a ready-made bargain.

Chen Xiao nodded decisively and said, "Yingying, go write the promotional plan first. We will only recruit elite players who are at the highest level and can play dungeons and arenas. The first batch will be limited to 50 people, and we will start the guild mission once we have recruited enough people."

All clubs have the support of big guilds, otherwise players would not even have enough materials to study cards. Guilds like Judgment and Fenghua have very complete management systems and member benefits. Chen Xiao brought forward the plan to establish a guild because his relationship with his brother had eased. With the addition of Xie Mingzhe, a strong partner, he could finally start the plan of "returning to the alliance" without any worries.
