Chapter 22 – Ye Qiu’s Retirent (1)
Chen Guo still didn’t understand. Even if Ye Xiu didn’t mind, why would the other person accept him into the party?
“What exactly happened?” Chen Guo asked.
“I reckon that when they first admitted in, they had a plot set up for . But after seeing that I played well, they felt that I would be helpful to them, so they let go. Ye Xiu said.
“Then you just happily worked for them without any benefits?” Chen Guo felt extrely on Ye Xiu’s behalf.
“It’s nothing. It’s okay.” While Ye Xiu said this, on the screen, a lance flashed by killing off the Spider Lord that had been surrounded by the five of them. Chen Guo saw a bunch of system ssages typed out neatly in the chat box. The party mbers Seven Fields, Sleeping Moon, Sunset Clouds, and Drifting Water all chose to renounce the equipnt dropped from the Spider Lord.
“What is the aning of this?” Chen Guo was astonished.
“I was very helpful to them, so they forced to choose which equipnt to take first. Sigh, there’s nothing I can do!” While Ye Xiu said this, he decisively chose to renounce them. Through these priority picks, he had already collected a set of Blue equipnt long ago. But these guys still wanted him to take a look first.
Chen Guo was dumbstruck. She felt that what Ye Xiu described was too modest. How was this working for them? Wasn’t he the boss? Only the core of the party was qualified to have priority picks after finishing a BOSS,. Not only that, but the precondition was that they were all a group of friends that recognized each other. Only then would they let the player who did the most work have priority. But these party mbers? Before she had slept, it seed like they were enemies. When she work up, how did they all suddenly beco his little brothers?
“Clearly tell how exactly this happened.” Chen Guo wouldn’t drop this matter and would ask until results ca forth.
“It’s because I helped them a lot!” Ye Xiu said.
“How much?”
“I carried them through the Spider Cave and Spider Emperor first clears.” Ye Xiu said.
“You completed three first clears in one night?” Chen Guo was shocked. She had played Chasing Haze for five years, but she didn’t have a single first clear under her na. He only played throughout the night and a morning, not even 12 hours, but obtained three first clears. This was too dazzling.
“Good luck.” Ye Xiu said. He lazily stretched and stood up from his chair. The party mbers on the screen had already logged out. A faint farewell could be heard from his headphones. Ye Xiu took the headphones from Chen Guo’s hands. He put it up to his mouth shouting “See you later!” and then logged out of the ga.
“I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep.” Ye Xiu said.
“Do you want to eat sothing before sleeping?” While Chen Guo said this, she sized up Ye Xiu. Truthfully, when she looked at Ye Xiu’s face, she couldn’t see any signs of the word “sleepy”. This person had pulled an all-nighter plus a morning. He did look a little listless, but the problem was that yesterday, when they had first t, he looked depressed as if he were half-dead. She really couldn’t tell that he had been wounded by the weapon of no sleep.
“No need! After I sleep, I’ll eat !” Ye Xiu shut down the computer and ran. Chen Guo had given him the keys to the second floor storage room last night. After opening the door to that pitifully tiny storage room, he covered his head with a pillow and fell asleep. As for this room, it actually suited sleeping during the day very nicely. When the door was closed, the small light that slipped through the window wouldn’t disturb him at all.
Ye Xiu fell asleep quickly. He slept extrely well. When he awoke, the day turned dark again. It was hard to imagine that soone who had just recently experienced such a great rise and fall could sleep so simply. Sitting up from his bed, Ye Xiu didn’t turn on the lights. He lit up a cigarette and after quietly smoking it, he got up and left the room.
The doors to the two small bedrooms were all locked up. Ye Xiu knew that one of these rooms was occupied by Chen Guo and the other was occupied by young lady nad Tang Rou. He heard that Tang Rou was a long-ti employee at Happy Internet Cafe. She had already worked there for almost two years, but in these past few days, she had taken a break. As for other Internet Cafe employees that needed a living place, they lived in the nearby neighborhood. Chen Guo had rented an apartnt for all of the employees to live in. Ye Xiu’s place was a place for waiting until a vacancy opened up. Chen Guo indicated that as soon as a person stopped working, he would have the opportunity to obtain his own bed.
When he went to the bathroom at a convenient ti, Ye Xiu saw a sticky note on the mirror. Bored, he took a glance and discovered that the sticky note was actually written to him. Chen Guo had already prepared a towel and toothbrush for him.
Ye Xiu tore down the sticky note and was sowhat at a loss. Mainly, he didn’t think that the boss was so attentive. As for whether he was moved, this type of trivial matter wouldn’t be enough, grateful would be more accurate.
After tidying the towel and toothbrush, Ye Xiu left and looked around for a bit. It was already 9 o’clock. He hadn’t eaten food all day. Leaving the small inner rooms, he entered the Internet Cafe and felt a little abnormal. Even though the second floor was a more costly higher quality area, it was a little too empty. Ye Xiu headed downstairs baffled. In the end, unexpectedly, the further he went, the darker it beca. The Internet Cafe’s first floor actually had no lights turned on.
“Did sothing happen?” Ye Xiu glanced around at a loss. He discovered that although the first floor lights weren’t turned on, there were a lot of people, so much so that there were quite a few trying to squeeze in. To wall in the south, a 200 inch diagonal projection hung high up. The projector stread a scene and the sound echoed throughout the entire Internet Cafe. Everyone was extrely quiet, whether they were sitting at a computer or standing in the passageway. It seed as if they had all forgotten what the purpose of an Internet Cafe was and treated it as a movie theatre, quietly gazing at the projection. Ye Xiu also quickly heard a voice comntating on the scene. Five words that he couldn’t have been more familiar with appeared.
Ye Qiu, One Autumn Leaf.
The projection that was being stread, to his shock, was a movie segnt on the history of his professional career in Glory. The comntator also movingly described the series of accomplishnts he had gained in his career in Glory.
Three ti league champion, three ti MVP, two ti Rising Star, one ti One Hit One Kill.
No matter if it was his team or other players, Ye Qiu was at the peak of the Glory Professional Alliance. He was the goal of every professional Glory player.
“Next, let’s all commorate the Battle God One Autumn Leaf that Ye Qiu controlled through these series of marvelous images.” The comntator used a downcast sorrowful tone to cast. On the projection, invincible images of the Battle God One Autumn Leaf began showing on the screen. Before, any picture would have made the crowd go wild with excitent. But now, the Internet Cafe was silent. There was no yelling or cheering. Everyone just silently looked as pictures flashed by one by one. They knew, from today onwards, everything there would be a thing of the past.
On that day at noon, Excellent Era Club called for a news conference and announced the retirent of their team captain Ye Xiu.
This ever mysterious expert didn’t even participate in his own retirent news conference. Everyone only saw the Excellent Era manager take out Ye Qiu’s signature on the agreent stating his retirent. The Excellent Era manager soon after proclaid, that the retired Ye Xiu had tactfully declined the club’s other positions and left the Excellent Era Club by himself.
The screen continuously flickered. Duels, slaughters, records, the comntator tily made progress and gradually made his way to Ye Qiu and Excellent Era’s dismal situation. Within the Internet Cafe crowd, faint sobbing could be heard.
