Cold Night sent a copy of the guide to Jiang You and the others. Everyone began to study it together. There were no words to describe the feelings in his heart after his entanglement with Lord Grim. Especially after going in a big circle, they discovered that the person they needed to rely on to break the record was still Lord Grim. If they had known earlier, why would they have done all those tricks?
What made them feel a bit better was Lord Grim's true identity.
Ye Qiu.
Tyrannical Ambition didn't like this identity at all, but it made Jiang You and the others feel a lot more gratified. At the very least, they were facing such a strong opponent. Even if they lost, it wouldn't be too shameful.
These people were more or less comforting themselves in their hearts. However, it was quite embarrassing to use this kind of excuse. At this moment, everyone had a tacit understanding. They didn't mention Ye Qiu or Lord Grim. They only silently paid attention to the guide and started discussing the problems with it. They didn't say anything unnecessary.
They were all experts. The value of the guide was quickly confirmed. At the very least, they didn't doubt its authenticity. The content marked in red, they quickly saw that it was the essence of the strategy. It was just that … the main content of the strategy was limited to five professions. However, the essence of the strategy was not limited to just one profession if one were to learn the strategy. Jiang You and the others were seriously discussing this issue. They wanted to see how they would perform the strategy in the guide when their five classes were combined.
As for Ye Xiu, he had already logged off after sending Cold Night the guide. He gave the computer to the little sister who worked the morning shift.
This computer was actually Happy Internet Cafe's most diligent employee. Every day, it worked 24/7. Unless the Internet Cafe wasn't open for business, it wouldn't have a chance to rest.
After getting off work, Ye Xiu went out to eat breakfast. When he came back, he saw Chen Guo standing outside the Internet Cafe with her hands on her hips. She was busy directing the employees.
"Hm? Are they celebrating Christmas?" After Ye Xiu came over, he saw Chen Guo directing the employees to set up a small pine tree in front of the Internet Cafe. She was currently hanging up colorful lights and small gift boxes.
December 24th. Today was the eve of Christmas. It was called Christmas Eve.
"Hm? You actually know the date. You're not confused?" Chen Guo said in surprise. In her opinion, Ye Xiu's day and night were reversed, repeating yesterday's plot every day. In her opinion, it was very easy to even forget the time.
"I accidentally noticed it." Ye Xiu said, while walking around the small Christmas tree.
"Not bad!" Ye Xiu praised.
"Of course."
"Are there real things inside?" Ye Xiu knocked on the small gift boxes hanging on the tree.
"Of course."
"What are they?"
"It's a prize for a lucky draw. Discount cards, vouchers, and so on. "Chen Guo said.
"Oh, oh." Ye Xiu understood. Clearly, Chen Guo was like many other shop owners. She was using the holidays as an opportunity to get more business.
"I say, Boss! You should put more effort into your activities! Go buy a Christmas tree. What's up with this tree? Did you twist it out of iron wire? " Ye Xiu walked around the Christmas tree a few times. Although there were many decorations hanging on the tree, Ye Xiu could still see that there was something wrong with the tree. This Christmas tree wasn't real. It was purely handmade.
"Is it not good to make it by hand?" Chen Guo walked over and said.
"It's not that it's not good, but it's not as beautiful as a real tree. Also, it looks a bit old. Did you make it last year?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo shook her head. "My dad used to make it. It's been ten years."
Ye Xiu froze.
After all, he had worked at the internet cafe for almost a month. Although he hadn't heard Chen Guo talk about it personally, he had heard some stories about the boss's wife from other colleagues. He had heard that Chen Guo had given up on university to run the internet cafe by herself after her father passed away.
This somewhat crude and purely handmade Christmas tree wasn't just a means for Chen Guo to attract business. It contained her memories of her family. There must be many stories behind this Christmas tree.
"Your dad's craftsmanship is pretty good. This tree is very beautiful." Ye Xiu said.
"Thank you." Chen Guo smiled. She didn't mind Ye Xiu's stiff change of words.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Ye Xiu asked.
"No need. You should go rest!" Chen Guo said.
"Oh …" Ye Xiu went back to his room to rest. Chen Guo stood by the Christmas tree in a daze.
Ten years … It's actually been ten years.
This Christmas tree had accompanied me for ten Christmases.
The first time, my dad was still here. He had made this tree for me as a Christmas present. But after nine Christmases, only I and the tree were left!
This tree looked a bit old … Even though I've always been very careful with it.
"Boss, can I hang this here?"
Chen Guo was lost in thought, when she was suddenly interrupted by someone. The manager was asking her if it was appropriate to hang a pendant.
"Hang it higher!" Chen Guo hurriedly walked back to her memories and busied herself with giving instructions.
Ye Xiu went back to his room to rest, but he didn't sleep for long. He woke up before noon. He left his room and went downstairs. He saw that the entire internet cafe had changed into Christmas decorations.
The handmade Christmas tree was already filled with many more gifts and decorations than what he saw in the morning. It was almost bent from the weight.
Apart from this, there were many colored lights and Christmas decorations everywhere. The most eye-catching of all was Happy Internet Cafe's Christmas Lottery Event. This Christmas tree symbolized Chen Guo's memories of her family, but wasn't this kind of activity the same? Happy Internet Cafe had many traditions. For Chen Guo, they were all filled with memories. Every one of them was well preserved. There were things, and there were things.
"Not bad, not bad. It's very festive." Ye Xiu went downstairs and looked around. He found Chen Guo and praised her.
"Okay." Chen Guo replied, but didn't lift her head.
"The Christmas event is about to start. Why aren't you going?" Chen Guo said. She and Tang Rou each had a computer and were busy in Glory. The event she was talking about wasn't her Internet Cafe, but the game.
Internet Cafes would use the holidays as an opportunity to do promotions. Of course, the game wouldn't miss this opportunity. Throughout the year, all kinds of holidays, big and small, would have new events to create a surge in online activity.
Glory opened the new server on the same day every year. Within a month after the new server opened, the first holiday was Christmas. And these events were always good opportunities to level up and farm for treasures. For the old servers, leveling up didn't have much meaning. But for the players in the new server, leveling up was more important than farming for treasures. Not a single second was wasted during the event.
"Aren't I here now?" Ye Xiu smiled. He obviously wouldn't miss the event. This was also why he woke up earlier than usual. The event was scheduled to start at noon, but there were only a few minutes left.
"Let's sit here. There aren't any computers left." Chen Guo gestured to the computers next to them.
"Hm?" Ye Xiu stared blankly. He looked around again and noticed that the Internet Cafe's business was unusually good today. Practically every computer was running Glory. An event in the game seemed to bring more benefits to the Internet Cafe than the events the Internet Cafe did themselves.
As for the computer in front of them, even though Chen Guo didn't say it, she had intentionally left it for Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu had no other choice but to sit down and swipe his card to enter the game.
"Wow, so many people … …" As soon as Ye Xiu went online, he sighed.
"Yeah … …" Tang Rou, who was in the same server as Ye Xiu, said.
Compared to the old servers, the tenth server only had more players. But the old servers' players could roam the entire map, while the tenth server's players could only gather in Fire Forest and below. As a result, the space per person was pitifully small, making it seem even more crowded. Even though the technology was advanced and there wouldn't be any internet lag no matter how many people there were, the sheer number of people was enough to create obstacles for the event. This was because this year's event was competitive in nature.
Hunting down the Christmas thief.
This was the content of this year's Christmas event. The plot was extremely simple. A thief stole the gifts that Santa Claus had prepared for the players, so the players had to catch the thief and retrieve the gifts. Then, Santa Claus would reward the players with Christmas gift packs based on the gifts they retrieved. Every Christmas gift pack could give a fixed amount of experience when opened, as well as a random unknown reward.
This mission could be repeated continuously, and the event had a special ranking: Christmas Hunter Ranking.
Obviously, it was a ranking based on the number of Christmas thieves that were caught. When the event ended, according to the ranking, everyone could find Santa Claus to receive their final Christmas gift. Without a doubt, the higher the ranking of the player, the better the gift they would receive.
That was the general flow of the event, but there were many more details.
For example, the gifts that were retrieved after defeating the Christmas thief could be equipment, potions, or something else. The players could choose not to return these items to Santa Claus and use them for themselves. Of course, if they didn't return the gifts, they wouldn't receive any points, but the players could use the equipment to become stronger and more efficient in the following missions. All the stolen gifts would be taken back by the system after the event, but during the event, they could be used to help the players compete.
In addition, due to the different levels of the players, the Christmas Hunter Ranking was not a unified ranking list, but several independent rankings according to the level range.
Only players in the same group would compete on the same leaderboard, and the rewards they would receive would be based on their level. As for the players who leveled up and changed their range during the event, they would automatically enter the new ranking list with their results.
