"Tch, what's with the arrogance!"
"Letting him retire is for his own good. What else can he do?"
"That's right, that's right. At least he knows what's good for him. He didn't think about staying in the club until he retired."
After Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng left, the remaining people in the conference room seemed to have suddenly come back to their senses. Once again, the gossiping began. Sun Xiang's expression was uncertain. He didn't participate in the discussion. Instead, he moved closer to the manager. "I don't understand. Why did he accept those conditions?"
"He had no choice," the manager said.
"Why?"
"Because he couldn't pay the penalty," the manager said.
"No … no way, right?" Sun Xiang was shocked. Ye Qiu was a professional player who had worked hard in the Alliance for seven years. Moreover, he was one of the best. Even if he refused all kinds of business activities, his salary alone shouldn't be unable to pay the penalty for terminating his contract for a year and a half.
"You're not from that era. You haven't experienced it. In the early days of the Alliance, professional players weren't as glorious as they are now. Everyone was just barely making ends meet. Most of them were part-time players. Those who were eliminated in that era were very pitiful. They used their youth in the game and didn't have any skills. After that, they were mostly poor. Ye Qiu was a genius of that era. He relied on his skill to get to where he is today. However, he had many friends like that. "
"You mean to say that a lot of his wealth was used to help those friends of his?" Sun Xiang's eyes widened.
"Correct."
"Then if he really needed the money, why didn't he accept any business activities?" Sun Xiang asked.
"No one knows the reason," the manager said.
"Do you have any guesses?" Sun Xiang asked.
"Perhaps it has something to do with his family," the manager said.
"Oh?"
"No one knows about his family. He also never talks about it. It's very strange. That's why I have my suspicions," the manager said.
"This person … has so many stories!" Sun Xiang was holding onto the One Leaf Of Autumn account card that Ye Qiu had given him. He knew that One Leaf Of Autumn was an account that Ye Qiu had used in the game before the Pro Alliance had even been formed. It was one of the oldest accounts in Glory.
"Alright, let's not talk about him. The boss can't come today because he has something to do, but he specially gave me this bottle of red wine that he has treasured for many years. It's specially for you." The manager said.
"Haha, thank you so much! With me in the Excellent Era, it's time to turn things around. "

Ye Qiu left.
Su Mucheng stood at the entrance of the club. She watched Ye Qiu walk all the way until he disappeared. He kept turning around and waving at her. Su Mucheng's face was already covered in tears.
There wasn't much to say. Ye Qiu only said eight words: "Rest for a year and then come back."
Su Mucheng didn't say a word. She just nodded her head heavily. She was no longer that childish little girl. She already had the courage to take on many things by herself.
Snowflakes floated down from the sky. This winter was very cold.
= = =
It's snowing?
When Ye Qiu left the club, he didn't know what to do next. After living for so many years, he suddenly had to change. He wasn't used to it. He just wanted to walk like this until he figured it out.
Who knew that the heavens wouldn't give him this chance. It just had to snow at this time and it was getting heavier and heavier. The flying snowflakes quickly wetted his shoulders and icicles formed on his hair. He had no choice but to avoid them.
Ye Qiu looked left and right. There was an Internet cafe on the side of the road. It was still brightly lit in the middle of the night. He immediately ran towards the Internet cafe.
The Internet cafe was very warm. Ye Qiu rushed in and shook off the snowflakes on his body. He turned on a machine at the front desk.
"Area C, Machine 47." The little girl at the counter reported the machine's location and then handed back the user's ID card. But when she looked up, the user was already gone. The little girl didn't make a fuss. She had clearly seen this sort of thing many times before. He silently put away the ID card. If the user found it missing, they would naturally come looking for it.
Area C, Machine 47. Ye Qiu followed the number to find it. This Internet cafe wasn't small. There were quite a few machines and it even had two floors. Area C … … Ye Qiu saw the area number on the ceiling. He didn't need to go up to the second floor.
When he counted to Machine 47, Ye Qiu stared blankly. There was clearly a woman sitting in that seat. She was playing Glory in the Arena. She was in the middle of a 1v1 duel. Her intense movements caused her ponytail to sway behind her head.
Looking at her profile and seeing her Launcher character on the screen, Ye Qiu was a bit absent-minded. He almost thought that Su Mucheng was sitting in that seat.
But he quickly realized that this wasn't the case. Su Mucheng was always so gentle and calm. Even in the middle of an intense PK, she would always maintain a smile. Speaking of which, Ye Qiu would sometimes feel a chill run down his spine when he saw her smiling as she blasted people into smithereens and then politely apologized.
As for the girl in front of him, her appearance was just as beautiful, pure, and gentle. But the way she gnashed her teeth and ravaged her keyboard and mouse made him feel as if her appearance was a complete fraud.
"Her killing intent is too scary, but it's too bad … …" Ye Qiu looked at the screen. He could see that this woman was about to be in trouble. Sure enough, the moment she revealed an opening, her opponent took advantage of it. With a series of combos, what little health she had left was immediately wiped clean.
"F * ck!" Ye Qiu heard this woman angrily shout. He waved his hand and tapped the keyboard, directly shutting down the game.
Ye Qiu was hesitating about whether or not he should keep his seat. The woman had already turned her head. Seeing the hesitant Ye Qiu, she angrily stood up and asked: "Are you going to get on the computer?"
Ye Qiu nodded his head.
"Sit here!" After saying this, the woman had already left.
Ye Qiu shook his head at this sort of normal player's lack of composure and finally sat down.
Chen Guo was gloomy. Extremely gloomy. She had just fought a 1v1 with someone in the Glory Arena. She had played 52 rounds, yet she hadn't won a single round. She simply didn't dare believe that this was real.
Her account wasn't bad. Chen Guo touched the "Chasing Haze" in her pocket. Among normal players, her account could be considered quite strong. Chen Guo's skill level wasn't low either. She had played Glory for a full five years. Her opponent's account wasn't as good as hers, yet she couldn't win a single round.
"He's a great expert." Chen Guo nodded her head and concluded.
"Boss, you didn't log out of the game? How come that person is playing? "Chen Guo was thinking as she walked, when she suddenly heard this from her side. Chen Guo tilted her head to look. On the computer next to her was a regular customer of the Internet Cafe. He was currently looking at the computer she had just sat on.
Not good! Chen Guo was alarmed and immediately ran back. Glory's popularity made Glory account logins become a common part of computers. In Internet Cafes, they were indispensable. Because the account card only needed to be inserted when logging in, in public places like Internet Cafes, people would usually put the card away after logging in.
This card was one account. If the card was lost, it could be reported, so stealing accounts was considered extinct. But in Internet Cafes, there were often people who carelessly forgot to log out of the game. In the end, someone else would steal their money and equipment. Chen Guo had just lost 52 rounds in a row, so she was quite irritable. She didn't pay attention and didn't log out of the game. Instead, she switched back to her computer.
Chen Guo hastily rushed forward. Sure enough, she saw that guy controlling her account. However, he didn't seem to be stealing equipment, but rather fighting with someone in the Arena. Chen Guo didn't even have time to shout, when she saw two large words pop up on the screen: "Glory!"
