Chen Guo still didn't understand. Even if Ye Xiu didn't mind, why would the other side accept him into the party?
"What's going on here?" Chen Guo asked.
"I reckon that the reason they added me into the party was because they wanted to scheme against me. But afterwards, they saw that I played well and felt that I would be of great help to them, so they let me go." Ye Xiu said.
"Then why are you so willing to work for them? Do you have any future prospects?" Chen Guo felt angry for Ye Xiu.
"It's nothing. It's okay." Ye Xiu said. On the screen, he swung his lance and killed the Spider King that was surrounded by five people. Chen Guo saw a row of system messages appear in her chat. Seven Fields, Sleeping Moon, Sunset Clouds, and Drifting Water all chose to give up on the equipment that the Spider King dropped.
"What's the meaning of this?" Chen Guo was astonished.
"I was of great help to them, so they wanted me to pick the equipment first. Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it!" Ye Xiu said, while decisively choosing to give up. Under the priority selection, he had already gathered a full set of Blue equipment, but these guys still wanted him to take a look.
Chen Guo was dumbstruck. She felt that Ye Xiu's description was too modest. How was he working for them? Wasn't he acting as their boss? After killing the BOSS, only the core members of the party had the right to pick the equipment first. Moreover, the prerequisite was that they were in a group of friends and family. Everyone knew each other and only then would they give priority to those who had contributed the most. But what about the party she was looking at? Before going to bed, they seemed to be enemies. How could they all become little brothers after waking up?
"Tell me clearly what's going on." Chen Guo wasn't willing to give up this time. She had to get an answer.
"It's because I was of great help!" Ye Xiu said.
"How great could it be?"
"I led them to complete the First Clear of the Spider Cave and the Spider Overlord," Ye Xiu said.
"You completed three First Clears in one night?" Chen Guo was shocked. She had played Chasing Haze for five years, but had never seen a single First Clear. He had only played for one night and one morning, which was less than 12 hours, but he had already gotten three First Clears. The contrast was too striking.
"I got lucky," Ye Xiu said. He stretched and stood up from his seat. On the screen, the team had already exited the dungeon, and the sound of farewells could be heard through the earpiece. Ye Xiu grabbed the headset in Chen Guo's hand and brought it to his mouth. He shouted a few words of goodbye before exiting the game.
"I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep," Ye Xiu said.
"Do you want to eat something before you sleep?" Chen Guo said while sizing up Ye Xiu. To be honest, she couldn't see the word "sleepy" on Ye Xiu's face. This person had pulled an all-nighter and the entire morning, so he did look a little lethargic. However, the problem was that when they first met yesterday, this person looked like he was half dead and half dead. She really couldn't see how not sleeping for so long would harm him.
"No need. I'll eat after I sleep!" Ye Xiu turned off his computer, called out, and ran off. Chen Guo had given him the key to the suite on the second floor yesterday. He opened the door and went to sleep as soon as he returned to his poor little storage room. It had to be said that this room was very suitable for sleeping during the day. Once the door was closed, the light from the small window at the top wouldn't disturb him.
After Ye Xiu laid down, he quickly fell asleep. He slept very well. When he woke up again, the sky was completely dark. It was hard to imagine that a person who had just experienced the ups and downs of life could sleep so carelessly. Sitting up from the bed, Ye Xiu didn't turn on the lights. He took out a cigarette and lit it. After quietly smoking it, he got up and left the room.
The two bedrooms in the suite were locked. Ye Xiu knew that Chen Guo lived in one of the rooms, and a girl named Tang Rou lived in the other room. It was said that she was the longest employee at Happy Internet Cafe. She had been there for almost two years, but she took a few days off and wasn't there. As for the other employees of the Internet Cafe who needed to be managed, they lived in a nearby neighborhood. Chen Guo rented a suite there for the other employees to live in. Ye Xiu was currently a backup. Chen Guo said that if someone quit, he would have a chance to get a bed.
When Ye Xiu went to the bathroom, he saw a sticky note on the mirror. He glanced at it out of boredom and realized that the sticky note was written for him. Chen Guo had already prepared the toiletries for him and placed them on the bathroom rack.
Ye Xiu tore off the sticky note and was a little confused. The main thing was that he didn't expect the new boss to be so considerate. As for being touched, it wasn't such a small thing. It was more like thanking him.
After washing up, Ye Xiu came out to look at the time. It was already past nine. He hadn't eaten for a day, so he needed to get something to eat. When he came out of the suite and entered the Internet Cafe, he felt that something was wrong. Even though the second floor was a high-end area with higher fees, it was a little too empty. Ye Xiu walked down the stairs curiously, but the further he went, the darker it became. The lights on the first floor weren't turned on.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiu looked around blankly. He realized that even though the lights on the first floor weren't turned on, there were quite a lot of people. There were even quite a few people squeezed in the aisles. On the southern wall, a 200-inch projection screen was hanging high up. It was playing the images from the projector, and the sound reverberated throughout the Internet café. Everyone was very quiet. Whether they were sitting at the computer or standing in the aisles, they seemed to have already forgotten what the Internet Cafe was for. They were just quietly watching the projection screen like it was a movie theater. Ye Xiu also quickly heard the voice of the commentator. Two names that he couldn't be more familiar with appeared over and over again.
Ye Qiu, One Leaf Of Autumn.
What was being projected was, shockingly, a clip of his career in Glory. The commentator was also extremely emotional, describing his achievements and honors in his career.
Three-time Alliance Champion, three-time Alliance Most Valuable Player, two-time DPS Star, one-hit kill.
No matter if it was a team or an individual, Ye Qiu was at the peak of the Glory Professional Alliance. He was the goal that all Glory pro players wanted to surpass.
"Next, let us all remember the wonderful scenes that the Battle God One Leaf Of Autumn, under Ye Qiu's control, gave us." The commentator spoke in a low, sorrowful voice. The projection screen began to play a scene of the Battle God One Leaf Of Autumn's unstoppable momentum. This was a scene that was enough to excite the audience at any time. But at this moment, everyone in the Internet Cafe was silent. They didn't cheer, they didn't cheer. Everyone just silently watched this scene flash by. They knew that, from this afternoon onwards, all of this had become a thing of the past.
That afternoon, Excellent Era held a press conference to announce that their captain, Ye Qiu, had decided to retire.
This mysterious expert hadn't even participated in his own retirement press conference. Everyone only saw the Excellent Era manager show Ye Qiu's personally signed retirement statement. Excellent Era's manager then announced that the retired Ye Qiu had tactfully declined the Club's offers of other positions and had now left Excellent Era.
The scene continued to flash. Battles, kills, records. The commentator continued to explain, gradually reaching the dismal situation of Ye Qiu and Excellent Era. In the Internet Cafe's audience, faint sounds of sobbing could be heard.
