“Gao Shou Xiong, do you have any needs here?”

Ye Xiu put on his headphones while noticing the message from Tian Qi.

“I need the Skeleton Warrior’s sword,” Ye Xiu replied.

“The decorative sword?” Tian Qi was surprised.

“Yes,” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh… If you have needs, then we won’t add anyone else. Just the four of us!” Tian Qi was also very sensible. Prioritizing needs would mean having to explain things to another person for a long time, and they might not even keep their word when they arrived. If you set it to captain distribution, that would directly scare away strangers. Who knows if you’ll even allocate it to them when the time comes? So, it’s best to stick with the four of us who are familiar with each other.

“Alright,” Ye Xiu agreed with this trouble-saving plan.

Tian Qi and the other two entered the dungeon one after another, chanting in unison, “Let’s get a hidden Boss!”

“Addicted to killing hidden bosses?” Ye Xiu laughed.

The three of them made obscene “hehe” sounds. Ever since following Ye Xiu, they had been thinking a lot about hidden bosses. Without a hidden boss, it’s just a direct crush, no pressure.

“Let’s go!” Ye Xiu said, and Lord Grim once again swung his spear to clear the path, with Tian Qi, Mu Yun Shen, and Qian Sheng Li skillfully following behind. The Skeleton Graveyard was drizzling, and flickering green ghost fires could be seen in the distance. The sound effects were faint ghost howls, which would suddenly become sharp and shrill from time to time, making people’s scalps tingle.

That’s not right… It’s not just my scalp tingling, it feels like there’s wind blowing on my ear?

Ye Xiu had a strong mental fortitude. Confirming that it wasn’t psychological but that something was really blowing, he immediately continued his operations and subconsciously turned his head to the left and back. He saw a pale face with two dark, beady eyes staring straight at him, not even blinking. The cherry-red lips looked like they were about to drip blood at any moment…

“Pa!” Ye Xiu slammed his left hand directly on the keyboard, finally stabilizing his figure. This one hit pressed down about seven or eight keys. In the game, Lord Grim suddenly made a series of mistakes as if he had gone mad. Fortunately, they were only fighting small monsters, and Tian Qi and the others quickly covered for him, barely managing to hold on. But yesterday, they had been in the dungeon together for so long and hadn’t seen Gao Shou Xiong make even half a mistake. Today, it had only just started, and he was already acting like a fool. Could it be that some fake expert had appeared again? But they had just connected to voice chat, and it sounded like Gao Shou Xiong’s voice!

Ye Xiu quickly turned his head back and quickly stabilized the situation with swift operations. Tian Qi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then they heard Gao Shou Xiong say, “Boss, why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you putting on a face mask and pretending to be a white-faced superman?”

“What?” Tian Qi was stunned.

“There’s gossip,” Qian Sheng Li whispered privately.

The three of them immediately kept quiet and listened intently while fighting monsters.

“I can’t sleep, so I came down to sit for a while,” Chen Guo said after taking off the mask from her face.

“Tian Qi, retreat. Qian Sheng Li, take the lead. Mu Yun Shen, watch out for the four o’clock direction,” Ye Xiu directed the battle.

Chen Guo quietly watched Ye Xiu and the others fight monsters for a while, and then suddenly blurted out, “I don’t think Ye Qiu should have retired.”

“Yeah,” Ye Xiu said.

“It’s just that he was in such a high position that when Excellent Era had a problem, he was always the first to be pushed into the limelight,” Chen Guo said.

“Oh.”

“I’ve been watching Excellent Era’s matches all along. I think Ye Qiu and Battle God One Autumn Leaf aren’t as strong as they used to be, and there are many reasons for that,” Chen Guo said.

“…” Ye Xiu was silent.

“The current professional alliance is becoming more and more mature, with many strong players. Like Gun King, Sword Saint, Fist Emperor, and Magician, their strength isn’t any worse than Ye Qiu’s, and their accounts are just as powerful as One Autumn Leaf.”

“…” Continued silence.

“Now is no longer the era where one person can dominate, but people still hope that Ye Qiu can create glory on his own like he did back then. It’s just that everyone’s expectations of him are too much,” Chen Guo said.

“Tian Qi, come back a little, you’re charging too far ahead. Mu Yun Shen, you and Qian Sheng Li stand together. I can hold this side alone,” Ye Xiu directed while operating with a “pa pa” sound.

“Damn it!” Chen Guo burst into flames, got up and pounced on Ye Xiu, grabbing his neck and shaking him while roaring, “Did you hear what I said? Did you hear what I said?”

All the customers in the internet cafe perked up. The regulars even peeked in this direction, wanting to see which reckless person dared to provoke their Boss Chen. With such a high-decibel roar, someone was going to die without a burial place tonight.

The headphones on Ye Xiu’s head shook a few times and fell off, and the trembling voices of Tian Qi and the other three could be faintly heard from inside: “We heard it, we heard it…”

In such dire circumstances, Ye Xiu still maintained the stability of his hands and insisted on operating, in excellent spirits. In the game, Lord Grim continued his flawless performance, but his owner, Ye Xiu, was running out of breath and was about to be strangled to death.

Ye Xiu’s tongue was almost falling out when Chen Guo finally released his hands. Ye Xiu coughed loudly, but his eyes were still fixed on the screen, and he asked Chen Guo, “What did you say?” While quickly picking up the headphones with one hand and shouting into the microphone, “Tian Qi, retreat, retreat.”

After shouting, he immediately threw down the headset and quickly returned his hand to the keyboard to operate, too busy to even put the headset back on. In the game, the four of them were fighting the Boss, and they were already one person short, so they couldn’t do without Ye Xiu’s control of Lord Grim.

Chen Guo couldn’t stand this guy anymore. She couldn’t really go up and strangle him to death, right? Helpless, she sat down again and opened the game on the computer in front of her: “You take me to play for a while.”

Ye Xiu looked back and said, “That’s the server!”

“I’m the boss,” Chen Guo said.

Ye Xiu was speechless. This rule was much more powerful than not being allowed to use the server.

“How am I going to take you to play?” Ye Xiu asked without turning his head, while still intensely fighting the Boss.

“I also have a tenth server account card,” Chen Guo took out a card and waved it at Ye Xiu. As a result, Ye Xiu just said “Oh” and still didn’t turn his head. Chen Guo was furious, she really wanted to strangle this person and bury him in a hole in the backyard.

“Then you first go into the game and do the quests,” Ye Xiu said.

“I’m not doing quests, take me to a dungeon,” Chen Guo said somewhat defiantly. She had decided that if Ye Xiu said east, she would go west.

“You’re still level 1, how can you go to a dungeon?” Ye Xiu said. Green Forest was the lowest-level dungeon, 5-10 levels. Characters below level 5 can’t enter.

“You think of a way,” Chen Guo said.

“Okay, let me think!” Ye Xiu hummed, operating with a “pa pa” sound under his hands, and suddenly quickly grabbed the headset again: “Qian Sheng Li, quickly return to your original position, you’re about to be surrounded. What’s wrong with you guys? You’re making a lot of mistakes!”

After shouting, he threw down the headset and heard a series of finger bones being cracked behind his head. Chen Guo gritted her teeth and asked, “Have you thought of a way yet?”

“I’ve thought of one,” Ye Xiu said quickly.

“Ah?” Chen Guo was surprised. This was a system setting that was impossible to solve, but this person actually had a way?

“If you don’t want to do quests, then go kill monsters first. Just kill until you reach level 5,” Ye Xiu said.

“I’ll kill you first!!”
