Anything with a leaderboard or ranking would always incite competition. Because of this, the Christmas event had become a battlefield for the various large guilds to compete with each other. The Spring Festival event didn't have this sort of thing. The players quietly completed the quests and the system quietly gave out the rewards. Players could team up to complete the quests, but it wasn't necessary. Even a single player could smoothly complete the quests.
It could be said that the Spring Festival event temporarily turned Glory into a standalone game. Everyone could play on their own without adding to each other's frustrations. Of course, if you saw someone else receive a grand reward and became envious and jealous, there was nothing that could be done about it. However, the event quests were there. If you were jealous, then go ahead and do it. This was the reason why the event rewards had to be announced by the system. It attracted more players to participate!
However, no matter how tempting the event rewards were, the later it got, the fewer players were online. When it was almost 6 PM, Ye Xiu glanced at his friends list one last time before logging off. It was dark. No one was online, including the active members of the top guilds.
Soon after, the three went to the dinner that Chen Guo had booked and had a New Year's Eve dinner. Facing these two guests, Chen Guo suddenly felt like she was in a dream. If it was before, she would never have thought that she would have the opportunity to eat with these two, let alone a New Year's Eve dinner. Moreover, it was just the three of them.
Chen Guo was obviously in high spirits, but she also knew that Ye Xiu and his brother's alcohol tolerance was terrible. As a result, even though the wine was poured for Ye Xiu, it was just for decoration. She didn't really ask him to drink. Ye Xiu spent most of his time drinking random things to deal with it.
The three's topic of conversation was of course Glory.
Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng were two of the top players in the pro scene. Who knew how much gossip and secrets outsiders didn't know. Chen Guo felt like her horizons had been broadened just by listening to the two's gossip.
However, when it came to gossip, the top God Ye Xiu lost to Su Mucheng in the end. Su Mucheng was indeed a girl. She was even better at gossiping than Ye Xiu.
That night, no one talked about any serious topics. The atmosphere was even more harmonious than the Spring Festival mission. In the end, the two girls were clearly drunk. They repeated the same gossip five times, and the two were still rocking back and forth with laughter. Ye Xiu drank very little wine and was completely sober. Seeing the two of them having fun, he didn't stop them at all. He just quietly watched them from the side.
"Eh, there's no more wine." Su Mucheng picked up the bottle of wine and shook it for a long time, but only two drops came out. She then took a look at the bottle and raised it to announce to everyone.
"Shall we go back then?" Ye Xiu said.
"Alright!" Su Mucheng immediately stood up.
"Sigh …" Chen Guo originally wanted to say that she could ask for more, but when she saw that her idol was about to leave, she immediately swallowed her words. She supported herself on the table and stood up shakily.
"Slow down …" Ye Xiu saw that the two girls were unsteady and didn't know which one to help. In the end, the two girls stood up and supported each other, swaying as they walked out the door. Ye Xiu hurriedly followed behind them, ready to rescue them at any time.
They paid the bill and left.
It was getting late, and winter nights were still relatively cold. However, the two girls who were high on wine didn't notice. After they left, they didn't rush to sit down and walk. Instead, they walked along the road with large strides. They laughed and laughed along the way. Ye Xiu, who was following behind them, couldn't hear what they were talking about.
"Is it far if we walk back from here?" Ye Xiu finally heard Su Mucheng's words clearly and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, it's quite far. Let's walk for a while and then take the car!" Luckily, Chen Guo was still conscious.
"Oh, oh. Let's walk then," Su Mucheng said.
The two girls continued to walk forward with large strides. Ye Xiu didn't stop them. He just followed closely in case they tripped or something.
Looking at both sides of the road, there were lights from thousands of houses, far and near. On this night, they were much brighter than the starry sky. Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound. A string of fireworks shot up into the sky from an unknown window. The fireworks exploded, making the stars dim in comparison.
And this string of fireworks seemed to be a signal. One window after another, all kinds of strange fireworks were set off in unison. Immediately after, the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere. In an instant, there was also a roar. In the midst of it, one could vaguely hear the sound of a clock. Midnight had finally arrived!
The two girls were very close. Ye Xiu could see that they were shouting something with their mouths wide open. However, under the roar of the firecrackers, he couldn't hear anything clearly. What was even more tragic was that after the various fireworks and firecrackers were set off, they immediately fell like raindrops. Chen Guo was the first to be hit on the head.
"Aiyo!" Ye Xiu, who was closer, finally heard Chen Guo cry out after being hit.
"Hurry up and run!!" The two girls called out to Ye Xiu and the two ran out first. But the problem was, other than a few commercial buildings on both sides of the road, the other residents rarely didn't light up fireworks and firecrackers to liven things up. This "rain" was falling all the way down the road. Where could they run to?
The two girls didn't seem to understand this logic. They ran and hid happily as they ran. Ye Xiu watched from behind and finally understood. These two were treating this as a game to have fun!
Ye Xiu paid attention to the road. At this time of the year, there were very few taxis. Even if they intended to stop a taxi, after a long time, they didn't see a single empty taxi pass by.
"I'm tired, I'm tired. Let's take a break!!" After running all the way, the two girls finally hid under a bus stop in front of them. Then, they looked up at the sky full of fireworks that seemed to never stop.
"Look over there. That one looks good."
"Yes, yes. Over there, over there!"
The two of them pointed at each other and continued to laugh uncontrollably. Ye Xiu also hid under the bus and looked up. The sky full of fireworks was indeed very gorgeous. Unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous the fireworks were, they couldn't burn for too long. They all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The three of them who were huddled under the bus stand had to watch the fireworks show that was made up of various houses. After the noise and splendor, the silence was unusually striking. There were sporadic sounds of fireworks, but it was like a contrast to the desolation after the splendor.
"It's over …" Su Mucheng mumbled as she looked at the sky.
"It's not over! Our house still has the ones. Let's hurry back and set them off! "Chen Guo said.
"Is that so?" Su Mucheng's interest was immediately piqued.
"Let's go and stop a taxi." The two of them were eager to go back.
However, it wasn't easy to stop a taxi. The three of them waited for a long time before they managed to stop one. By the time they rushed back to the internet cafe, most of the people who didn't care about staying up late were already asleep.
However, the two girls who were in high spirits didn't care about this. After returning to the internet cafe, Chen Guo took out all the different types of fireworks she bought yesterday. When Chen Guo bought these fireworks, she only wanted the names and designs. She didn't know what they really looked like. At this time, she pushed them all out the door. The two girls lined up to ask Ye Xiu for some fireworks.
He lit two cigarettes and gave one to each of them. The two girls immediately started playing with the fireworks. One by one, they set them off and commented on the fireworks. Previously, they were spectators. This time, they were participants. In a situation where there weren't many people playing, the two of them were still looking for the fun of competing with each other. They both said that the fireworks they set off looked better than any of the previous ones.
"Not bad, not bad." Ye Xiu chimed in from the side as he took out the fireworks. The cigarettes in the two girls' hands went out. After they finished smoking, they ran back to look for him.
Chen Guo bought quite a lot of fireworks. The two of them set off the fireworks for more than half an hour. The two of them were finally satisfied and were willing to go back to the house to rest for a while.
"What should we do next?" They had played enough with the fireworks, but the two of them clearly didn't have enough.
"We can do a dungeon …" Ye Xiu suggested.
The two of them looked at each other and thought for a bit. For a moment, they couldn't think of anything to do. In the end, they both accepted Ye Xiu's suggestion.
When he went online, he saw that there were quite a few more names in his friends list compared to when he went offline. However, Tang Rou wasn't there.
"Oh, it's just the two of us." Ye Xiu said to Su Mucheng.
"Then let's do it together!" Su Mucheng said disapprovingly.
"You won't fall asleep halfway through, right?" Ye Xiu was doubtful. The two girls had been playing a bit crazily. If they kept playing like that, they might be able to maintain their excitement. Now that they had calmed down and the alcohol kicked in, they might start to feel sleepy.
"Then you should be fine by yourself, right?" Su Mucheng said.
"Okay, let's go!"
The two of them ran the dungeon together. Chen Guo hated that she didn't have this character. She could only play her Chasing Haze by herself.
Ye Xiu's worries were very reasonable. Not long after starting the game, Chen Guo, who was playing alone in the Heavenly Domain, felt tired and her eyelids began to droop. She insisted on not going back to rest and in the end, she fell asleep in her chair.
On Su Mucheng's side, because it was a two-player party, her situation was a bit better than Chen Guo's. But halfway through the dungeon, she began to close her eyes and mess around.
"Hey hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey hey hey!" Ye Xiu constantly reminded her. Su Mucheng was no longer his best partner. She was a spy sent by the dungeon's BOSS. She was constantly causing trouble for Ye Xiu.
"Hurry up and go to sleep." Ye Xiu said.
"I'm not sleepy!" Su Mucheng struggled for a bit. She raised her hand and fired a cannon. Ye Xiu had his character turn around and run. He hadn't even finished clearing the monsters in his hand, yet another pile was coming …...
Terrain control, movement, kiting, pulling the train …... Ye Xiu used all of his eighteen techniques. It wasn't easy for him to clear the pile of monsters. He turned around and wanted to persuade Su Mucheng to go back to sleep, but he discovered that Su Mucheng had already fallen asleep in her chair.
