Chapter 375: Chapter 363: Follow ! (1st Update) Chapter 375: Chapter 363: Follow ! (1st Update) Juan Canyun was also intent on improving his social skills… and the matter of self-confidence was sothing that Mo Shigui frequently emphasized to him as well.
The thing that most affected Juan Canyun’s performance in competitions was his mindset, so when the Silver General asked in the group chat if anyone had ti to ntor a newcor, Juan Canyun thought about it and still signed up.
But after he signed up, he thought he was going to lead newcors at the training camp; however, he found out that instead it was… for the fans? The ones without even a club registration in The Holy Spirit.
“You want to beco a professional player?”
While Juan Canyun was busy hunting the No-Eye Laxina… he started chatting with another player on the team, who was a Light Gunner by profession.
Or rather, he was discussing life aspirations with all the players in the fifty-person raid group.
Juan Canyun’s raid group belonged to the fourth division of the Vibrant Nucleus Guild, Vibrant Neutron, whose guild master, the Sword Scholar, was one of the logistics managers of the Vibrant Nucleus.
Compared with the second and third divisions, and even the fourth division which could be considered the core of the training camps, having the qualifications to join the training camp ant that they had shown certain strengths in so aspects of The Holy Spirit.
“Yeah, Juan Canyun, a god like you beca a professional player at my age; envy twists my heart.”
The Light Gunner nad Insect Master did have skills that Juan Canyun deed quite good; during raids, his damage output consistently ranked within the top five.
“The sa age? Are you a high school student?” Juan Canyun instantly realized… he had just turned eighteen this year, so if the other person was also eighteen, then he must be a high school senior.
“What’s the fun in going to school compared to playing gas… Juan Canyun, if I beat you in PK, do you think I could get into the club’s training camp?” he asked, pestering Juan Canyun non-stop due to being able to keep up with Juan Canyun’s speed in combat.
These were two common types of fans Juan Canyun encountered in online gas: one type was female fans who would typically add him as a friend, scream, send crazy emoticons, and insist on befriending him upon recognizing Juan Canyun in the ga.
The second type was ambitious Challengers, who mostly believed that beating professional players in the ga proved they had professional-level abilities.
“This road isn’t easy to take; you guys… you must be facing college entrance exams soon, right?”
Juan Canyun, due to his professional career, hadn’t attended middle or high school, and he didn’t have many friends his age either… but the first ti he realized this was during the Black Ash Knight battle, when he found out about Wan Xiang getting caught by her father playing the ga.
“Yeah, the college entrance exam is coming up, but with my grades, I probably won’t make it anyway, so I might as well spend that ti playing gas.” As the Light Gunner spoke, he threw the light gun in his hand, which hit No-Eye Laxina’s throat with uncanny precision.
But the very next second, after releasing the ability, his body movent abruptly showed a bizarre distortion.
“What’s wrong with you?” Juan Canyun noticed sothing amiss, as Insect Master’s body made an off-balance move akin to slipping on a banana peel.
He didn’t reply to Juan Canyun, but through his microphone, Juan Canyun overheard a woman’s angry roar.
“You’ve run off to the internet cafe to play gas again! Our family’s face is almost lost because of you, this unfilial son! Do you know there’s only twenty days left before the college entrance exam? Co back with now!”
“Mom! Wait a minute! I’ve got one more BOSS to beat!”
“BOSS? Do you know your grades aren’t even reaching the third-tier university threshold? If you don’t get into college, what are you going to do in the future? Still BOSS, BOSS!”
“Mom… I can earn two or three hundred yuan after I kill this BOSS! Just one hour! Ah…”
“Still earning two or three hundred yuan! Boss! Let tell you… If you let him co here again, I won’t let it go!”
Juan Canyun felt a slight tremor listening to the voice from Insect Master’s earphone; No-Eye Laxina’s terrifying roar in the distance seed like a baby’s cry compared to the woman’s shriek from the earphone.
In the end, Insect Master couldn’t overpower his mother, and Juan Canyun watched helplessly as his character stood motionless in the ga.
“What happened to Insect Master?”
The raid team’s chat area felt the commander’s sharp awareness; soone in the team was idle, and Insect Master was an important damage dealer in their team. What’s worse, at this very mont, two other players in the team inconveniently disconnected from the ga.
“He… sneaked off to an internet cafe and got caught by his mom, who dragged him back!”
Other players in the raid group also heard Insect Master’s microphone broadcast… that heartbreaking conversation.
“Sneaking off to the Internet café? WTF? How old is Challenger that his family won’t let him go to an Internet café?”
“He seems to be a high school student…”
“Back, back, back! Everyone retreat from Laxina the Eyeless’s aggro range! Regroup! Let’s hit it again!”
The swordsman Knight quickly realized the change in the situation and imdiately shouted in the team voice chat; the players from the fourth division were far less efficient than the core raid team.
It was only after five or six players in the raid team were killed by the eyeless mother dragon that everyone finally exited the raid team’s range.
“Even if we’re down by three people, we shouldn’t be losing, right? I still want to show off in front of Juan Canyun.”
So of the female players in the raid team kept complaining.
“Stop thinking about showing off! I’ll ask you all again!” the swordsman Knight realized the seriousness of his negligence when he heard Challenger was a high school student!
The reason for negligence? It was that the fourth division should be made up of full-ti players… This was the most basic recruitnt standard for the second, third, and fourth divisions.
“Although we all gathered here because we love ‘Vibrant Nucleus,’ many of the guild’s resources are provided by the club. We’re not so fan-made guild running on love alone! When you joined the guild, I promised you all a monthly salary, but that’s based on the most fundantal condition, that you’re full-ti. When we all co together to clear instances, there shouldn’t be any excuses like ‘my family doesn’t agree’ or ‘I have to go to work’ for refusing or disconnecting!”
Knight spoke in a serious tone in the guild channel. Silver, the founder, had made it very clear when establishing the first five divisions that they need to be full-ti players. While the guild was lenient and free in terms of how to play the ga, everyone had to be present for the instance raids!
“Knight, I really am full-ti at ho… although my mom used to nag to go find a job before I played ‘Spirit,’ the money I make playing this ga is now more than what my parents make in a month.”
“ too…”
“Also, what are we going to do about Challenger? We can’t always just stop raiding every ti he gets caught by his parents at the Internet café, can we?” a player in the team complained.
“I’ll handle this matter personally,” Knight said.
“His skills are pretty decent,” Juan Canyun suddenly interjected in a whisper, joining the team’s discussion.
“But he’s a high school student, Little Juan. We can’t just go to his parents and say, ‘Your son is aweso at gaming, let him skip his college entrance exam and play gas with us,’ can we?” Knight had been managing a fan organization for so ti, and he had seen situations like this once or twice.
“…”
Juan Canyun actually wanted to ask why not, but he knew there were many reasons. For one, gaming was still seen as an unserious activity by many parents, and even if Vibrant Nucleus was willing to negotiate, why would they go out of their way for a technically decent but common player?
“Alright, it’s getting late, let’s finish off the hidden boss, and then we’ll conclude this instance raid,” Knight said after receiving a private ssage from Mo Shigui that Juan Canyun needed to step away but could wait until they finished with the hidden boss.
After the guild mbers regrouped, they spent about an hour to finally take down the hidden boss of the Black Ash Volcano instance.
After the equipnt was distributed, the raid group exited the Black Ash Volcano instance.
“Juan Canyun, can I add you as a friend?”
“Shit, you guys are too sneaky, considering how hard I worked to heal you, you gotta give a friend slot too!”
After the instance raid was over, the female players surrounded Juan Canyun. He couldn’t tell if they were truly female players or not, as there were fifteen female characters in the fifty-person raid team.
During the raid, they restrained themselves, but after it was over, they probably realized Juan Canyun was about to leave, so they all gathered around him.
“I… my friend list is full,” Juan Canyun tried to use this common excuse to refuse when a voice that made him a bit anxious suddenly rang out.
“Finally found you, kid… You sure made wait long enough.”
Lady Calamity… Why is she here?
Juan Canyun froze at the sight of the figure appearing before him, wondering if it was a character created by a player based on Lady Calamity’s model. But when Lady Calamity approached and a dialogue box popped up, Juan Canyun realized… she was the leader of the Dinsional Pirate faction!
