Master of Trading Star Card Game

Chen Xiao tossed and turned on the bed, insomnia until three o'clock in the morning before falling asleep in a daze.

In the dream, it went back to the day when his brother left. Chen Qianlin looked at a stranger he had never met before. He looked at Chen Xiao coldly, and said calmly, "Since you have grown up, you will be able to see me in the future." I won't care about you anymore, and I don't want to see you again. This house, and the deposit in the card, should be my adult gift to you. "

He put down the keys of the house and a bank card with millions of deposits, turned around and left with his luggage.

Chen Xiao quickly chased after him, grabbed his arm suddenly, his face turned pale with nervousness, and his voice was trembling: "Brother, I was wrong, I was drunk last night and lost my mind, don't talk about those nonsense words. Take it to heart, don't ignore me, I was really wrong..."

Chen Qianlin interrupted him: "All these years, I have always treated you as my own younger brother. I never thought you would have such thoughts. I have fulfilled my elder brother's responsibility to raise you. Chen Xiao, from today onwards, we each Don't contact me any more."

His eyes were like a layer of ice on the lake in winter, Chen Xiao froze in place, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he couldn't say a word.

Chen Qianlin just left.

If the loss of the lawsuit was a huge blow to him, then the confession of his beloved brother at this time was the last straw that broke the camel's back and made him completely disheartened.

Chen Xiao didn't dare at first, but he drank some wine in a depressed mood, his head became hot, and seeing his brother sad, he hugged him and said that he liked him...

Really liked it for many years.Since the day he was adopted by the Chen family, Chen Qianlin squatted in front of him and said softly, "Don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on. I'm your elder brother. You can follow my surname and call him Chen Xiao, okay?"

Dirty, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw such a beautiful person for the first time.

At that time, he was only seven years old and Chen Qianlin was 15 years old.

The clean boy took the dirty child to the bathroom to take a bath, and changed him into brand new clothes.He blinked and looked at the beautiful young man in front of him, and called out tentatively; "Brother?" Chen Qianlin smiled and patted his head: "Good boy, with my brother here, no one will bully you in the future."

When I was a child, I always liked my brother very much. When I grew up, this kind of love gradually deteriorated and became a secret love.Chen Xiao secretly hid his love for his elder brother in his heart, and never dared to say it out loud. Even when he was drunk, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself.Chen Qianlin really treats him like his own younger brother. No one would accept his sudden confession. Instead, he pissed off his elder brother. What an idiot.

After waking up from the dream, Chen Xiao wiped his face indiscriminately, went to the bathroom, took a shower with cold water, carefully shaved off his beard in front of the mirror, and then combed his hair neatly.

Sure enough, after tidying up, the tough outline was revealed, and the whole person looked much more energetic.

Chen Xiao turned around and came to the balcony. It was still dark outside the window. It was only five o'clock in the morning. He only slept for two hours before he was awakened by a nightmare.

There is a pot of succulents on the balcony, and a small sprout has grown from the root, which looks very cute.

In the past, he didn't know how to grow flowers, and he always felt that regular watering was a very troublesome thing. Since his brother left, Chen Xiao specially checked the cultivation strategy of each plant, watered the flowers on time, and took special care of these little things. good.

It has been almost five years, and none of the ten pots of succulents left by Chen Qianlin on the flower stand have died, but have grown and flourished.

Chen Xiao originally wanted to build a studio to accumulate resources, and to play games next season. When he has some achievements, maybe his brother will be willing to meet him. At that time, he will apologize properly, and maybe the relationship between the two can be eased.However, the plan was not as good as changing. Xie Mingzhe happened to come to the studio. The talent of this young man was not inferior to that of Tang Muzhou back then.He advanced the plan, not only for Xie Mingzhe's consideration, but also to find an excuse for himself to meet Chen Qianlin in advance.

***

The next morning, Xie Mingzhe got up at eight o'clock, washed his face and went to the living room.

He saw a young man coming down the stairs.

What caught the eye was a pair of straight long legs. The man was tall and straight, over 1.8 meters five by visual inspection. He was wearing slim-fit trousers and black leather shoes that were spotlessly polished. The shirt was ironed as neatly as if he had just bought it. One button was unbuttoned, revealing a healthy complexion.Looking up, he has short hair and a clean shaven beard. His facial features are handsome and tough, especially a pair of thick eyebrows, which are particularly masculine.

How did this person come down from the second floor?

Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "Who are you?"

The other party looked at Xie Mingzhe unhappily: "Can't you recognize me? I'm Chen Xiao."

Xie Mingzhe couldn't believe it: "Brother Chen?"

It is said that "clothes depend on people", but the gap is too big, right?Before, Brother Chen's hair was as messy as a bird's nest, he always looked sleepy with dark circles under his eyes, he liked to smoke, his clothes were wrinkled like rags and he couldn't see at all, he was a deeply decadent young man who gave up treatment.However, the man in front of him was radiant, handsome and upright, as if he had been completely reborn!

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his eyes, completely unable to connect the handsome guy in front of him with the decadent young man in his memory.

At this moment, Xiaopang and Jin Yue also went downstairs. They had a headache from drinking too much yesterday, and they kept pressing their temples as they walked.As soon as he reached the stairs, he suddenly saw a strange man in a suit in the hall, Xiaopang almost fell, Jin Yue hurriedly supported him, Xiaopang stood still, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who is this gentleman? Are you looking for someone early in the morning?" Jin Yue also said, "Xiao Xie, is this your friend?"

Chen Xiao said angrily, "I'm Chen Xiao! Have all of you lost your memory?"

Jin Yue pushed his glasses, and quickly ran downstairs to observe him carefully: "Brother Chen?" The voice was quite similar, but the clothes were completely similar to the two of them.Pang Yu also ran downstairs, excitedly said: "Is it really Brother Chen?"

Xie Mingzhe, Pang Yu, and Jin Yue stood side by side, watching Chen Xiao like a gorilla released from a zoo.

Facing the eyes of the three people observing the rare animals, Chen Xiao coughed awkwardly, and explained: "Cough, I usually... don't pay much attention to appearance. I got up in the morning and changed my clothes, and shaved by the way. You need to do this Surprised?"

What do you mean by "slightly not paying attention to appearance"?You are "completely giving up treatment", okay?Xie Mingzhe complained in his heart.

"Brother Chen is so handsomely dressed, is he going on a date?" Pang Yu asked gossipingly.

"Go see someone." Chen Xiao's ears were slightly red, but he quickly maintained his composure and said, "Ah Qing and Yingying will come over later, I have something to take Xiao Xie out today, you four Stay in the studio and help Xiaoxie take a look at the store."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen." Jin Yue was obviously much more reliable than Fatty, and he didn't ask who Chen Xiao was going to see.Pang Yu opened his mouth to ask, but Jin Yue stabbed his lower back forcefully, so he had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.

The four of them had a simple breakfast around the dining table, and Chi Qing and Chi Yingying just came back. Seeing Chen Xiao dressed like a dog, Chi Qing asked suspiciously: "You are so neatly dressed, do you have something to go out?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Well, Xiao Xie and I will go out for a while."

After the two left, Pang Yu immediately sighed: "I have known him for two years, and I have never seen him dressed so formally!"

Jin Yue also sighed: "It turns out that Brother Chen is a potential stock. He usually doesn't clean up, but when he dresses up, he's quite handsome. I almost didn't recognize him."

Chi Qing calmly said: "Stop gossiping, go online and help Xiaoxie tidy up the shop!"

***

Chen Xiao drove a sports car out from the underground garage. The silver-white suspension sports car galloped fast on the suspension track in the air, as if flying in the sky.Xie Mingzhe opened the car window, excitedly feeling the excitement of being a trapeze man.

Chen Xiao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, wore a pair of sunglasses, and he looked cool while driving.

Xie Mingzhe really thinks it is much more pleasing for him to tidy up like this. The messy hair like a bird's nest before is too much for his appearance. I don't know what he thinks. Even if he is a game booster, he will not make himself that It looks decadent...

Chen Xiao knew that Xie Mingzhe must be complaining about him, so he ignored it, and went straight to the topic; "You should already know the story of my brother Chen Qianlin, right? You didn't ask me last night, so I think you may have checked it yourself. "

Xie Mingzhe said with a smile: "I was afraid that if I asked you face to face, you might not be able to say some things. So I checked the Internet, and the news said that Lin Shen left because he lost the lawsuit and was disheartened. The original lawsuit What's going on, can you tell me?"

"I was going to tell you." Chen Xiao took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Ten years ago, in the first season of the Star Card League, my brother and Shao Bo founded the Sanctuary Club together. During the competition, Shao Bo is in charge of all kinds of management and operation of the club. Shao Bo is his childhood friend, they grew up together, and later became college classmates, my brother has a special trust in that surnamed Shao."

"My brother is very talented, and the original plant card is very powerful. He has won awards in the individual competition for three consecutive seasons. Many investors have come to him. Of course, the club has made a lot of money. Everything is going well, but the fourth At the beginning of the season, Shao Bo saw that my brother's popularity was getting higher and higher, so he privately auctioned many of my brother's cards. One card was sold for tens of thousands of crystal coins, and hundreds of copies were copied. could make millions..."

"My brother was busy playing games at the time and didn't know about these things. When he found out, his cards had been privately copied and sold hundreds of copies by the club. My brother disagreed very much and wanted to take back the copyright of the cards. However, the contract did not clearly stipulate that the copyright of the cards belonged to him. Instead, there was a clause stating that "all the profits of the players during their stay in the club shall be divided according to the ratio of 30% to the club and 70% to the players." Shao Bo made a big deal out of this The article said that my brother's original card behavior also belongs to the profit during the signing period..."

"When we founded the club together, the surname Shao promised my brother many times that he could deal with the cards himself, but because my brother believed in him, the verbal promise was not recorded, so it could not be used as evidence in court. According to the contract, my brother It doesn't make sense, as Shao Bo is the manager of the club, it is legal to take his cards and sell them." Chen Xiao frowned, and said unwillingly: "The surname Shao killed this point, and the lawsuit failed in the end. win."

"..." This was stabbed severely by a good brother, right?Xie Mingzhe could imagine Chen Qianlin's anger and chill at that time. He grew up with a very trusting Fa Xiao, but dug a big hole for him. If it was Xie Mingzhe, he probably wanted to kill him.Xie Mingzhe felt sorry for what happened to Chen Qianlin, and couldn't help but ask: "God Lin was the originator of Muxika back then, so he should have a high status in the alliance, right? Is there no one in the alliance to help him?"

"Nie Yuandao, Zheng Feng and other great gods who have a good personal relationship with him are trying to help him, but laws and human relationships are two different things. That's how the contract is written. My brother can't produce strong evidence, and everyone can't do anything about it."

Xie Mingzhe's mood is very complicated.As someone who is not a legal professional, signing a contract will indeed face the risk of being cheated. He has heard countless copyright dispute cases as early as the earth age. Chen Qianlin made the mistake of trusting Fa Xiao too much, and that Shao is really not a thing.

After being hit by a small betrayal, and losing the lawsuit and being unable to recover the copyright of the card, it is no wonder that Chen Qianlin will retire.

Xie Mingzhe didn't know what to say.After a long time, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Oh... what happened to your brother was really uncomfortable. Did he lose the lawsuit and pay a lot of liquidated damages?"

Chen Xiao said: "That's right. And the copyright of the cards can't be taken back. My brother made many good cards, and now the copyright is still in the Sanctuary Club."

Xie Mingzhe couldn't help swearing: "Fuck! That sanctuary hasn't closed down yet?"

Chen Xiao shrugged: "As long as you have money, most players are willing to sign with them. However, the incident between my brother and the club has too much influence, and truly capable players will not go to Sanctuary Club. It has been going downhill, and now it is just relying on the deck made by my brother to train a few second- and third-rate players, the kind who are tortured by Tang Muzhou to the point where they can't even survive a minute in the arena."

Xie Mingzhe praised: "Tang Muzhou is very competitive! Even if Sanctuary retains the copyright of your brother's wood-type cards, but in today's wood-type, the most powerful players are all in the Fenghua Club created by Tang Muzhou, which is really embarrassing. The surname is Shao You're thick-skinned enough, and you're still using your brother's card?"

Chen Xiao sneered: "The players in their club don't have the strength to make their own cards at all. They can only rely on their laurels and always use my brother's deck. Unfortunately, the star card officials are constantly updating the data. Many of my brother's cards are now It’s not practical anymore. They stand still and can only be surpassed by others. Last season, Sanctuary didn’t even make it to the final round, let alone winning an award. It’s really shameful.”

This is also karma.The man named Shao Bo is actually very short-sighted. If he had taken a step back and returned the copyright to Chen Qianlin, instead of selling Chen Qianlin's card everywhere, and kept Chen Qianlin as a great god, maybe Tang Muzhou would follow Master to sign in their club .With Chen and Tang, these two talented players, Sanctuary can stand at the top of the league pyramid all year round.

In the end, Shao Bo was greedy for small profits, forced Chen Qianlin away, lost people's hearts, and set up such a terrible enemy as Tang Muzhou.No matter how much money you make in the short term, it’s not as good as keeping a cash cow, right?What a fool.

Xie Mingzhe scolded a few words in his heart, changed the subject and said: "Brother Chen, I cooperated with you because I admire your straightforwardness and open-mindedness. I was a novice who didn't know anything back then, and you were willing to give me the opportunity to let me be an intern Student, originally it was a good salary of 1500 a month, but when you signed the contract, you offered to pay 3000 a month as a regular employee. Such bosses who take the initiative to raise salaries are too rare. Just because of this, I don’t think you are a covetous coward. Cheap people. If you change to an ordinary boss, you will definitely be able to save as much as you want. It is best to find someone to work for you for free. You are different. You are very kind to everyone. If you make money, you will invite everyone to dinner. The atmosphere in the studio is also special. harmony."

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "It seems that I gave you a raise at that time, was it right?"

Xie Mingzhe also laughed, and then said: "Let's not turn against each other like your brother and Shao Bo in the future. In order to avoid this situation, if we set up a club in the future, we will write all the clauses into the contract, rights, responsibilities, The share is all stipulated, and each item is carefully considered, and then a professional lawyer is hired to check it out. With the contract binding, everyone is more at ease."

Chen Xiao nodded simply: "That's for sure, my brother will settle accounts, and I don't want to have conflicts with you, unity is the most important thing. When you see my brother later, don't bring up the matter of copyright. I will put you I introduced it to him mainly because I want him to guide you, so that you can make a deck suitable for the game as soon as possible. If he is willing to accept you as an apprentice, are you willing to recognize this master?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "Of course. It is definitely my honor that he is willing to accept my words!"

Although he played some games in his previous life, none of them were card games. Xie Mingzhe was still very confused about the design of the deck. If a master like Chen Qianlin was willing to personally guide him, Xie Mingzhe would certainly wish for it.More importantly, Chen Qianlin has retired and is considered a free agent, so it does not involve sensitive issues such as clubs and card copyrights, and there is no conflict with Xie Mingzhe's own club.
