"So the truth is, the majority of the people we're seeing right now, you've only met them today?" Ye Xiu looked at Lou Guanning.
"Hahahaha …. Actually, my social connections are mainly in Glory. You know that." Lou Guanning said.
Ye Xiu was speechless. He knew all too well. In other words, Lou Guanning might seem like a social butterfly when interacting with people, but in reality, he was also a nerd addicted to online games. It was just that his identity and background were different, so he was able to blend in very easily.
"I see that you're quite familiar with this place." Ye Xiu said. Ye Xiu and the others didn't even need an invitation to enter this private club. Lou Guanning just had to say the word and they could enter and leave as they pleased. It was clear that his relationship with this place wasn't shallow.
"Of course. We've always played Glory here!" Lou Guanning said.
"Amazing …." Ye Xiu gave Lou Guanning a big thumbs up. This sort of private club could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year. Playing Glory here was on a completely different level from playing Glory in an Internet cafe.
While the two were still talking, Chen Guo had already rushed in front of the young man without a care for anything else.
"What did you say!" Chen Guo knew that the people who could come here were all rich and respectable. Just from this young man's aura, she knew that he wasn't an ordinary person. But Chen Guo wouldn't be able to hold back her anger after being mocked face to face like this.
"Making a big fuss. Don't you use voice too much?" The young man glanced at Chen Guo. He wasn't moved at all by the fact that she was a beautiful woman. He continued to mock her indifferently, "You only know how to play games. Ignorant and incompetent. Is your existence really worth anything?"
Chen Guo was even angrier. But she had to admit that the young man's last words were indeed the mainstream view of society. Even though the Glory Professional Alliance was in full swing, there were still many people who didn't think that being good at games was a talent. Chen Guo shuttled back and forth to interact with these people. She clearly felt that for these people, Glory was just one of the many things that could be used to make money. Talking to them about Glory's commercial future was far more useful than talking about how interesting and classic the game was.
They didn't care what kind of game it was or how interesting it was. All they cared about was whether it would bring them benefits. What about the pro players? In the eyes of these people, it was just a money-making tool. These people would never understand the feelings they put into the game.
"I have nothing to say to a person like you …" Chen Guo was not a person with a sharp tongue. She had a stomach full of feelings, but it was difficult for her to express them in words. In the end, she could only say this sentence without much weight.
"Haha, it's just ignorance and incompetence. Of course, I can't say anything. As for people like me, I'm definitely not someone you people can compare to. "
"You can't say that!" Ye Xiu finally walked over, "There are many Glory players who are multi-talented. For them, games are just a small distraction in their lives, a hobby. It's no different from drinking a few glasses of wine or playing a few rounds of cards."
"Sorry, I wasn't talking about those people who play games for fun. I was talking about you, the so-called pro players who only know how to play games."
"It's not like we only know how to play games!" Ye Xiu said.
"Is that so?" The young man's gaze swept around the room and finally settled on a certain corner. He smiled and said, "Then what talent do you have that you can show everyone? Piano, or some other musical instrument, how about you play a song to liven things up? "
The corner that the young man's gaze landed on was precisely a piano. It could be a decoration, or they could find someone to play it for them. It could also be an impromptu performance by one of the guests. After saying this, he looked at Ye Xiu mockingly, as if he was sure that the other would make a fool of himself here.
"Musical instrument?" Ye Xiu stared blankly, "A talent doesn't have to be a musical instrument, right?"
"Haha, then what do you know? A thousand glasses without getting drunk? Hahaha. " The young man laughed exaggeratedly and looked around, as if he was expecting someone to laugh with him. There were indeed people who laughed with him, but they were more reserved in their laughter. There was really no one who laughed out loud.
"Sorry, I'm even worse at drinking. As you said, how about a song?" Ye Xiu said.
"What did you say?" The person's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ye Xiu ignored him. Under the astonished gazes of many people, including Chen Guo and Lou Guanning, he walked over to the piano.
"I said," Ye Xiu suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You asked me to play this. Do you know how to play it?"
"Of course." The person's face was still full of disbelief, but he still answered confidently.
"That's good …" Ye Xiu reached out and casually pressed on the piano keys, then said, "I'll play one now. I don't need you to be better, as long as you can play it the same way …"
"Hahaha." The person didn't wait for Ye Xiu to finish before laughing again, "You don't even know how to play randomly, right? Don't you think it's too boring to play this kind of clever trick? "
Ye Xiu smiled slightly. He didn't explain at all, and his hands were already on the piano keys.
"The master has hidden his skills well!" Lou Guanning was already in awe.
"This is indeed a bit deep …" Chen Guo, who had returned, also said blankly.
As they spoke, Ye Xiu had already started playing. It was as if a storm had suddenly arrived without any warning. A bunch of chaotic syllables seemed to explode as they drilled into everyone's ears.
"What's this?" Chen Guo was surprised, Lou Guanning was in a daze, but after a few notes, Tang Rou was already laughing very happily.
"What?" Chen Guo hurriedly asked. From what she heard, Ye Xiu seemed to be playing randomly, right?
"Flight of the Bumblebee." Tang Rou said.
"What?" Chen Guo was confused.
"This song is called Flight of the Bumblebee. It's a song with a very fast rhythm. It's usually used by people to show off their hand speed." Tang Rou said.
"Hand speed?" Chen Guo was stunned at first, then she finally understood the meaning behind Tang Rou's smile.
"That's too shameful. It's practically bullying!" Chen Guo said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's too much of a bully …" Tang Rou nodded.
"That guy definitely can't play it, right?" Chen Guo looked at the young man gloatingly. The young man's face was full of shock, and he was already somewhat at a loss.
"It's not just him. If it's that fast, there's probably no one in the world who can play it." Tang Rou said.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Chen Guo was surprised.
"At least from what I know, it's not …" Tang Rou also seemed to think that she was exaggerating a bit, so she quickly tried to be conservative.
In the time it took to say a few words, Ye Xiu finished playing. Because he played too fast, it only took a few seconds for Ye Xiu to finish playing the song. The scene was silent. Everyone looked at Ye Xiu, dumbfounded. Among the people present, there was probably no one who didn't know anything about music. That was why they were deeply shocked.
"Should we applaud?" Chen Guo whispered to Tang Rou.
"No!" Tang Rou said.
"Why?"
"Actually, other than being fast and playing it correctly, there's nothing good about it," Tang Rou said.
"He probably learned it purely to practice his hand speed!" Chen Guo guessed.
"I think so …" Tang Rou said.
Everyone present who had a bit of knowledge about music thought the same way as Tang Rou. Such a fast performance was really worthy of applause. But this guy's playing just focused on being fast. Any song had content and emotions, but this guy's performance basically expressed nothing in this aspect. It could even be said that his performance didn't even have a rhythm. It was just fast, fast, fast, as fast as it could be. Other than that, he didn't play the wrong notes. Applause for this kind of performance? Everyone felt that this was a little disrespectful to art.
Ye Xiu obviously didn't care about this. After he finished playing, he stood up and gestured to the provocateur. "Repeat it?"
"You … You …" This guy was a little flustered, but fortunately, he was someone with talent. "Your playing is just fast. You don't know music at all!"
"How can you say that I don't know music? You can only say that I'm not very accomplished. But I've at least played one song accurately. It's your turn now, "Ye Xiu said with a smile.
This guy's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word.
"Looks like you can't play it. What a pity. Then …"
"I didn't promise anything!" This guy was clearly afraid that the other party would ask some difficult question that would embarrass him in front of everyone. Fortunately, when Ye Xiu tried to make an agreement, he was interrupted and didn't mention it again. At this time, he didn't care about his manners. He used this as a life-saving straw and shamelessly shook it off.
"I wasn't prepared to ask you to promise anything. But you really can't play it, right? "Ye Xiu said.
"With this kind of playing, there's no point in playing it!" This guy was still quibbling.
"Since you can't play it, then I can only recognize you. Ignorant, ignorant, and incompetent," Ye Xiu said.
"You …" The young man was abnormally angry, but someone next to him pulled him back. Turning his head, he saw that it was someone from the club.
"Young Master Lu, you're drunk …" The club's people hurried over when they heard that something had happened. In the end, they only saw this young master's face being swept to the ground. On the way over, they had already understood what had happened and knew that this person had made a mistake.
Lou Guanning and the others usually played Glory in the club. They rarely appeared in these kinds of social situations, so not many people recognized them. This young man clearly didn't know this, so he didn't know who the owner of this party was. After seeing the Glory pro player being introduced, he decisively mocked him. If he really knew who the owner of this party was, even if he didn't like him, he wouldn't have exposed him like this. It wasn't like they had any grudges.
The club's people had come to settle this matter. They couldn't afford to offend anyone here, nor did they dare to side with anyone. As a result, it was a bit unnecessary to point out their identities. That was forcing one side to lower their head and admit defeat. They would offend both sides. As a result, the club's people came up with this kind of nonsense, just to give the situation a way out. If both sides could turn a blind eye, this matter might have passed.
Unfortunately, Young Master Lu was currently in a fit of anger, so all of this became an extravagant hope.
"I'm not drunk!" The one called Young Master Lu was aggressive, as if he wasn't willing to let this matter go.
