Click, click, click, tap tap...
Her sword-like, beautiful, thin eyebrows furrowed as her two nimble hands fluttered across the keyboard and mouse like an uncontrollable storm. All she did was make a desperate attempt to move the character in a way to turn the situation around; however, it was futile resistance.
"Glory..."
A form of thin blood was drawn on the screen after the male Avatar performed a dragon tooth, ending his opponent after giving it a one-sided beating.
"One more match!" Tang Rou shouted. She's about to put another 100 yuan for a bet but makes a pause. She couldn't go for another round since she doesn't have any money left.
"Finally run out of money? Haha," Ye Xiu said. He was Tang Rou's opponent and the cause of the commotion.
*This guy is waiting for me to run out of money?*
Seeing him mock her, Tang Rou's fighting spirit ignited more. "Wait for me to get more!" She said and left.
"Wait, little tang!"
Cheon Gu, the cafe owner, chases after her. She knows her personality well after working with her for almost 2 years. Tang Rou wouldn't stop until she had successfully beaten him. However, the difference in their skills was clear. Tang Rou was like a toddler going in a boxing match against Mike Tyson.
Gougou knows her trait well. If this keeps up, Tang Rou might lose all of her saved money.
Watching her leave, Ye Xiu sighed in relief. To be honest, he wasn't really after her money. Taking money from challenging someone who doesn't even know glory? If this is let out as a former professional and God of glory. He would become a laughingstock.
"Finally... It's over..." Once again he sighed. Ye Xiu plans to log out and head to the smoking area to play. As for betting money? He will give it to her later when she returns. "For now, I should head to the smoking area," he mumbled, but before Ye Xiu could log out, someone interrupted him.
"Wait a minute, mister..."
Slender and beautiful hands hover over his hand, which is touching the card. The sudden movement was caught in his peripheral vision; as someone with sharp eyesight, he wouldn't miss such an obvious move.
Ye Xiu turned his head and met a boy with messy bob-cut brown hair. He was wearing a black tracksuit outlined with red similar to that of eSports and a white cap covering his face, only showing his pinkish lips.
"...Do you need something?" Ye Xiu asked politely.
The boy's lips display a faint smile, and his beautiful hands show him a glory account card.
"How about fighting me instead? It's only 1 round, and the bet would be the same as that woman: 100 yuan," he said.
This person is none other than Tang Ron. Ron witnessed the events that happened from beginning to end. Upon arriving at the cafe, what caught his attention was Chen Gougou's shouting. She's telling Tang Rou what to do. He was curious to see what the commotion was and impressed by Ye Xiu's mechanics and control.
They said only experts recognize one, so Ron decided he wanted to fight him. As for his sister, it's been so long since he last saw her. Ron didn't even recognize her in the slightest; in fact, he might have forgotten he had a sister. If Yang Rou heard them, she would be heartbroken.
As for whether Ye Xiu would accept or not? That depends on him. Ron showed him a first-generation card, similar to what Ye Xiu had in hand. If he is truly some expert, then he would know the meaning behind it.
Of course, Ye Xiu did notice the first-generation card. Although he was slightly tired, his interest was piqued.
"Sure, I will create a fixed-field room," he said with a smile.
"Okay. I will register for the computer first," Ron said and left.
Once he was done, he came back from the counter to ask Ye Xiu for the room number and password. When everything was settled, he headed to the second floor, an area for VIPs to play.
Ye Xiu waited while checking his character, Lordgrim. He was still standing in the arena when he heard a notification that someone had finally joined the room.
"He is here…" Ye Xiu didn't start the match but instead scouted his opponent first.
"A blank name? " He was momentarily in a daze. He knows that in the gamer community each has different tastes, but they can only be separated into three: cultured, uncultured, and eccentric. Those cultured individuals always pay attention to their names, making them relevant and meaningful, like his one autumn leaf and Lord Grim, although he didn't name them. While his name sounds cultured, others just choose randomly or didn't think much about their names. On the other hand, eccentrics have a different naming sense. They were neither cultured nor uncultured; it's like a random name that has meaning, but only guys like them relate.
This is one of the examples; names were often used to be remembered and distinguish one from many. So it leaves a deep impression, although black seems odd. It has a similar effect but is remembered as something they can easily forget?
"I'm ready…" Ye Xiu heard another notification coming from Ron. "I'm ready," he said.
"What about the map? " Ye Xiu asked.
"Random," Ron said.
"Okay…" Ye Xiu replied.
Without further ado, Ye Xiu started the game. The random map was set; it's the smallest open-area map. In this map there's only sea and blue sky with clouds. There's no hiding place, just open area. This will be difficult for Ron.
The match started, but Ye Xiu didn't attack immediately; he looked at his opponent's character. Ron was using an assassin, but without a piece of equipment in the body—yes, it's fully naked. Other than the assassin's dagger and hooded cloak, which hides his face, there's no equipment.
"What is this…? "
