Chapter 3: Repeat After Me, Wu Wu Wu, Invincible!
Ye Xiu, who had been smacking his lips, paused for a rare moment. Without even looking at Ling Chen, he said indifferently:
"Boss, I can't win."
Chen Guo didn't expect Ye Xiu to say that, and asked, "Why? Isn't your skill very good?"
"I don't have an account that can do PK!" Ye Xiu said.
"Then what level is your account, and what equipment does it have?" Chen Guo asked.
"I gave it away. Now it has no level and no equipment," Ye Xiu replied.
"Alright. You're quite generous, giving away an account you've had for so many years." Chen Guo was a bit helpless.
Ye Xiu showed a bitter smile, smacked his lips, and took another puff.
Yes, truly generous. The One Autumn Leaf account, just given away...
But Chen Guo clearly wasn't going to let Ye Xiu off the hook.
After all, his skill level was among the strongest she had ever seen.
If she couldn't see him dominate Ling Chen—ahem, spar!
That would be a real pity.
Her eyes darted, and Chen Guo thought of a solution: "How about you use my account to spar with him?"
"The conditions remain the same. If you dominate him, how about I add an extra five hundred to your salary every month?"
Dominate him? Ye Xiu turned his head, glanced at Ling Chen, and smiled.
Ye Xiu also realized that the boss was a bit… boastful. Only half of what she said could be believed.
So, this person's true skill level was likely on the fringe of being professional.
He didn't like dominating weaker players, but for five hundred yuan...
"Alright, Boss. I'll gladly accept that five hundred yuan salary," Ye Xiu said with a faint smile, as if speaking of a trivial matter. "When should we play? Right now?"
Chen Guo, having received an affirmative answer, her eyes lit up.
She smilingly inserted her account card into Ye Xiu's computer and said, "Yes, right now. Let me tell you, this expert at our internet cafe has defeated many professional players before! He's incredibly arrogant."
Ling Chen noticed that, in order to get himself dominated, the boss had gone to great lengths to provoke him. He quickly interrupted, "If you ask me, it's mainly your account that's not good enough. Otherwise, how could I have defeated so many people?"
"Ling Chen! What do you mean 'not good enough'? Do you know how amazing my account is?!" Chen Guo watched Ling Chen boasting again, feeling an itch in her heart.
Listening to the two bicker, Ye Xiu entered the game screen and carefully examined the boss's account.
Although he had used this account earlier, it was always good to check it before playing.
Seeing Ye Xiu browsing her account, Chen Guo was somewhat proud: "This is an account I've used for five years. I spent a lot of money to get an Orange Weapon, hmph hmph, an Orange Weapon!"
"Do you understand the value of an Orange Weapon, kid?"
Saying this, Chen Guo even shot a disdainful look at Ling Chen.
When Ye Xiu saw the Orange Weapon, he was also a bit surprised. The owner of this internet cafe actually had an Orange Weapon; he thought she only had a Red Weapon.
Looking at it this way, his chances of winning increased even more.
"Wow, an Orange Weapon, impressive, Boss," Ling Chen said indifferently, "It's just too small-minded. Do you know about Silver Weapons?"
"Silver Weapons, only such weapons can match your noble status, Boss."
"Silver Weapons… Don't I want one? But is that something you can just get casually?" Chen Guo rolled her eyes at him. "Those are things only professional players can have!"
"Are Silver Weapons that precious?" Ling Chen, of course, had a Silver Weapon. He said indifferently, "However, hehe, I have one!"
Chen Guo: "."
Hardened, her fists hardened!
After the inspection was complete.
The two entered a custom match room.
Glory!
As the words "Glory" appeared, the game loaded into arena mode.
The professions of both sides loaded.
Ye Xiu was controlling Chen Guo's account, Zhu Yanxia, a Gunner.
Ye Xiu was very familiar with this profession. Besides his main profession, Dou Fa (Battle Mage), the most common profession he saw in his professional career was the Gunner. After all, Su Mucheng had partnered with him for many years.
So many that he had to seriously consider when Su Mucheng started fighting with him.
Thinking of this, a subtle sense of nostalgia couldn't help but appear in Ye Xiu's eyes.
When he saw Ling Chen's profession, this sense of nostalgia suddenly became somewhat strange.
"Battle Mage?"
Chen Guo also noticed Ling Chen's profession, a bit surprised.
"You can play Battle Mage too, Ling Chen? I've never seen you play Battle Mage before!"
"Let me tell you, Ling Chen, the Battle Mage profession is very powerful. It can use Dazzling Texture to buff its basic attributes, eventually stacking them to a terrifying degree. You know Dou Shen, right? That One Autumn Leaf, Ye Qiu, he uses a Battle Mage."
The moment she saw the Battle Mage, Chen Guo's chatterbox opened, and she rattled on for a long time.
And as expected, she eventually brought up Ye Qiu.
As she spoke, she even gave Ling Chen a disdainful look, saying, "I bet you don't know. Don't think you have a little skill in the internet cafe; you're still far inferior to Ye Qiu!"
Ling Chen was a bit speechless. The real Ye Xiu was right beside her.
But the system's rewards over these three years had been quite generous, and Ling Chen felt he wouldn't be much inferior to Ye Qiu. He said, "Ye Qiu? My ears are practically calloused from hearing about him, so how could I not be familiar?"
"He's indeed quite good. I feel like we're fifty-fifty."
"You're so powerful, you can go fifty-fifty with Ye Qiu, so why don't you go professional?" Chen Guo wasn't happy when she heard Yun Fan disparaging her idol.
Ling Chen grinned: "It's not like I haven't thought about it. Professional, well…"
"It's too easy. I'm afraid if I go professional, the professional players will lose their jobs."
Chin Guo: "."
Ye Xeu: "."
This time, even Ye Xiu couldn't help but glance at Ling Chen. How can you be so arrogant!
It was simply overflowing with dominance—quite like himself.
He just didn't know how his skill was, if it was as tough as his mouth.
Chin Guo, beside him, had already started cheering for Ye Xiu: "Ye Xiu, you see? He's such an annoying person. You absolutely must teach him a lesson today."
"If you dominate him, I'll treat you to another pack of cigarettes tonight!"
Ye Xiu glanced at Chin Guo.
This boss, chattering and bickering with Ling Chen, didn't seem to mind the employee's teasing.
This atmosphere was completely different from Excellent Era, which was great.
It seemed he had come to the right place.
"Originally, with the five hundred yuan, I only planned to use fifty percent of my strength, but with an added pack of cigarettes, I'll use eighty percent of my strength," Ye Xiu said indifferently, a genuine smile appearing on his face.
"Why only eighty percent of your strength? What about the other twenty percent?" Chin Guo was a bit curious.
"Eighty percent strength is already invincible. The extra twenty percent would be a waste," Ye Xiu exhaled a puff of smoke, a look of anticipation in his eyes, and slowly said, "To watch that, there's an extra charge."
Chin Guo: "."
What's with this bad feeling?
This Ye Xiu and Ling Chen are a bit too similar, hey!
