Without the fierce competition from the top guilds, obtaining a dungeon record didn't seem as exciting. It was like a 100 meter race. Only when you stood out from a crowd and won first place would you be excited. If only one person participated and took all the rankings, then it wouldn't be interesting at all.
Guild Happy's current occupation of the Dark Forest dungeon records was similar to this. The dungeon record competition in Glory, which was originally the most important competition in Glory, was now like a one-man show. Occupying the top ten spots on the leaderboards caused the tenth server's players to gasp in surprise. Although Happy's members felt incomparably proud, the five players who set the record felt extremely bored.
Even Thousand Creations and Horse Shooter felt the same way. After setting a record ten times in a row, these two normal players felt somewhat numb. What should have been an exciting experience ten times in a row, in the end, they didn't feel anything.
"Another record?"
"Yeah, another record."
That was it. He didn't even use an exclamation mark.
"What's next?" Tang Rou, who hated no challenge, asked Ye Xiu.
"No one's causing trouble. That's good too. Let's continue leveling!" Ye Xiu was calm. His previous doubts about the Club guilds' lack of response seemed to have disappeared.
As a result, dungeons, leveling, quests, they continued to level up. Because of the difference in levels, they had the same few teammates every day. A good game was now like a single player game. But Ye Xiu still played seriously. Apart from leveling his character, he would also personally take care of a few guild matters. He would often teach Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, these two very promising rookies. He would even occasionally pay attention to Concealed Light's improvement as well as the dungeon guides he continued to research.
One day, two days … … Time passed like this. Everyone's levels rose day by day, and the Pro League matches continued one after another.
Ever since that day, Happy Internet Cafe still kept the tradition of broadcasting matches. However, they no longer broadcast Excellent Era's matches. Instead, they only broadcast some exciting matches. Because of this, the team's cohesiveness decreased by a lot. The matches lost their usual liveliness.
After all, in the past, the loyal spectators on the day of the competition all had the same support team. Thus, they looked at each other cordially and had a common language. These people might not like the big projection screen, but they definitely liked the atmosphere of a group of people sitting together to mock their opponents and cheer for their team.
The reason why Happy Internet Cafe's broadcast was so successful was because of the atmosphere. But now, without relying on the cohesion of Team Excellent Era, just the projection screen alone made a huge difference. On the day of the competition, there were still quite a few spectators gathered in the Internet café when there were some high-profile confrontations. However, it was no longer as lively as before.
Many people felt that it was a pity. Many of them missed the old regulars and even tried to persuade Chen Guo to go back to the old way, but they were all rejected by Chen Guo without hesitation.
Fortunately, the Internet cafes were not as good as before, but the normal business was not ruined because of this. The daily flow of customers seemed to be as substantial as before.
Peaceful days always flew by quickly. During their time in the Level 44-46 Dark Forest, Guild Happy hadn't been challenged by any of the top guilds. The dungeon record leaderboards were dominated by them just like that.
In the blink of an eye, the first month had come to an end and the Spring Festival was approaching. The Glory gaming company had already started promoting the Spring Festival event. The Spring Festival event had always been the longest in Glory and had the most generous rewards. It was the most important event of the year.
However, no matter how exciting this event was, it would be very difficult for the Internet café to become popular again.
After all, the Spring Festival was a holiday that couldn't be compared to Christmas in China. Even the Pro Alliance had entered a period of vacation during the Spring Festival. Even the regulars who took care of the Internet café all went back to their own homes and looked for new members.
As a kind boss, Chen Guo also gave the employees a vacation early.
"What about you?" In the end, Chen Guo asked this new employee.
"What about you?" The new employee, Ye Xiu, asked back.
"This is my home." Chen Guo said.
"Take me in … …." Ye Xiu said decisively.
"You're not going home?" Chen Guo frowned.
Ye Xiu slowly shook his head.
Chen Guo sighed, but didn't say anything. This was someone else's family matter. Even though they were friends, Chen Guo didn't know much about it. She didn't feel like she had the right to say anything.
"Not bad. I'll have someone to keep me company with this year's New Year." In the end, Chen Guo expressed her welcome to Ye Xiu.
"Where's Little Tang?" Ye Xiu asked.
"She's packing!"
"She went home?" Ye Xiu's question was a bit strange.
Chen Guo nodded her head.
"Where … … is her home?" This was the first time Ye Xiu had asked about Tang Rou's personal matters.
Chen Guo shook her head: "I don't know."
"Uh … … Don't you think that Little Tang's background is quite interesting?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo smiled and said: "So what? She's not a bad person."
"You're right." Ye Xiu nodded, turned around, and continued to play the game. Tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve. There wasn't a single customer in the internet cafe. Only the sound of Ye Xiu's mouse and keyboard could be heard echoing in the cafe. The other employees had already received their red packets from Chen Guo and happily went home to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Chen Guo was bored and strolled around the internet cafe. Then, she saw Tang Rou coming down with her luggage. Chen Guo quickly went up to help her. Tang Rou waved her hand: "It's not heavy!" Then, she carried it down herself.
Tang Rou looked around the internet cafe. Her gaze finally landed on Chen Guo. "Everyone left?"
"I'm still here!" Behind the computer in the corner, a hand was raised and waved twice, answering Chen Guo's question.
"You're not going home?" Tang Rou shouted.
"I'm busy. I'm busy with work," Ye Xiu replied.
Tang Rou and Chen Guo couldn't help but laugh. However, they knew Ye Xiu's situation, so they knew that he was just joking. Of course, that wasn't the reason why he wasn't going home. In this era, who didn't have a computer at home? Internet cafes provided a kind of service for the atmosphere. During the Chinese New Year, everyone had their own important atmosphere to experience. Those who liked to come to the internet cafe had to endure and play indoors for the time being.
"Don't forget to level up when you get home! Don't be like Baozi. After an event, you're left far behind. " Ye Xiu finally put down his "work" and walked over to Tang Rou, who was about to set off, and earnestly reminded her.
"Got it …" Tang Rou replied with a smile.
"Here, take this red packet." Chen Guo handed over a big red packet.
"Thank you, Boss. Happy Chinese New Year." Tang Rou's smile became even brighter. She accepted it without hesitation.
"What about me?" She took the initiative to ask for the red packet.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Guo rolled her eyes. She didn't give it to him.
"I'm not even going home. Does this count as overtime pay?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Little Tang, I'll call a cab for you." Chen Guo directly ignored Ye Xiu. After a month of working together, Chen Guo still admired Ye Xiu's skills. However, she didn't have any admiration or respect for him anymore.
"Be careful on the road!" Ye Xiu also came out and waved at Tang Rou.
"Happy Chinese New Year!" Tang Rou also waved at Ye Xiu. She got into a cab that was parked on the side of the road. Then, Chen Guo and Ye Xiu sent her off with their gazes.
"It's so cold! Let's go back! "Ye Xiu shrunk his neck and called out to Chen Guo.
"Okay." Chen Guo responded. The two of them went back to the Internet cafe together.
"Are you still open?" Ye Xiu pointed at the door of the Internet cafe.
Chen Guo glanced at it. "I don't have anything to do anyway. Let's keep it open!"
"There's still a tree for Christmas. Don't you need to decorate it for Chinese New Year?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo was stunned. "This … I haven't thought about it."
"You don't have any common sense?" Ye Xiu said.
"I've always been alone. I'm too lazy to do anything." Chen Guo said.
"Uh, not this year. The weather looks pretty good. Why don't we go buy some Chinese New Year goodies?" Ye Xiu said.
"Pretty good weather? Who was the one who said it was cold? "Chen Guo asked.
"It's cold because I'm wearing too little." Ye Xiu rushed upstairs and wrapped a jacket around himself before coming down. Chen Guo stared at him blankly for a long time.
"You don't have a second jacket, right?" Chen Guo said.
"That's the truth!" Ye Xiu said.
"I say, you just moved here from across the road, right? You're so lazy! You don't want to take anything? "Chen Guo said.
"Get this straight. I didn't retire because I wanted to be an Internet cafe manager!" Ye Xiu said.
"Then where are your things?" Chen Guo asked.
"Probably … at Su Mucheng's place?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Aiyo!" Chen Guo immediately became happy. "I'll go with you to get them back, okay? It'll be fine even if we make a few hundred trips. "
"There's nothing important." Ye Xiu said.
"That's not important." Chen Guo clearly didn't care about Ye Xiu's things.
"You're a fan, right? Don't worry. She's on vacation now. You can ask her out one day. "Ye Xiu said.
"Which day?" Chen Guo quickly asked.
"Which day do you want?"
"Every day!"
"… I'll ask her later."
"Okay, let's go buy some Chinese New Year goodies now." Chen Guo was also energized.
After tidying up, the two left the Internet cafe together.
"I say … you only have one jacket. It's not just a jacket, right?" Chen Guo began to gossip.
"What are you trying to say?" Ye Xiu squinted.
"Have you changed your clothes?"
"Seeing that our schedules are different, I'll forgive your poor observation skills." Ye Xiu said.
"But I don't think I've seen you go out to buy anything?" Chen Guo was puzzled.
"Taobao, dear!"
"…"
