Chapter Twenty-TwoYe Qiu Retires (Part 1)

Chen Guo still didn't understand. Even if Ye Xiu didn't mind, why would the other party accept him into the team?

"What exactly is going on?" Chen Guo asked.

"I guess they initially wanted to get me into the team to trick me, but after seeing how well I played, they thought I could be of great help to them, so they let me go," Ye Xiu said.

"So you're just willingly working for them? Don't you have any ambition?" Chen Guo felt indignant for Ye Xiu.

"It's nothing, it's okay," Ye Xiu said, as he swept across the screen with his spear, knocking down the Spider King surrounded by five people. Chen Guo saw a row of neat system messages in the information bar, with Tian Qi, Yue Zhong Mian, Mu Yun Shen, and Qian Sheng Li in the same team all choosing to give up the equipment dropped by the Spider King.

"What does this mean?" Chen Guo was surprised.

"I'm a big help to them, so they insist on letting me pick up the equipment first. Alas, there's really no way!" Ye Xiu said, while also decisively choosing to give up. Under the priority selection, he had already gathered a full set of blue equipment, but these guys still wanted him to take a look first.

Chen Guo was stunned. It turned out that Ye Xiu's description was a humble one. He didn't come here to work, he came to be their boss, right? Prioritizing equipment after defeating a Boss was definitely something only the most core members of the team were qualified for. And the prerequisite was that they had to be in a friend group, where everyone knew each other, so that they would give priority to those who had contributed the most. But what about the team she was seeing? Before going to bed, they seemed to be enemies who had schemed against each other. How did they all become underlings after waking up?

"You explain to me clearly what's going on," Chen Guo refused to give up this time, she had to ask for a result.

"It's just that I'm a big help!" Ye Xiu said.

"How big of a help can you be?"

"I led them to complete the first kills of the Spider Cave and the Spider Lord," Ye Xiu said.

"You completed three first kills in one night?" Chen Guo was shocked. Her Chasing Haze had been playing for five years, and she had never seen a single first kill. This person had only played for one night and one morning, less than 12 hours, and had gotten three first kills. This comparison was too glaring.

"Good luck," Ye Xiu said, stretching and getting up from his seat. On the screen, the team had already exited the dungeon, and faint farewells could be heard in the headset. Ye Xiu grabbed the headset in Chen Guo's hand and put the microphone to his mouth and shouted goodbye twice, then quit the game.

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep," Ye Xiu said.

"Do you want to eat something before you sleep?" Chen Guo said while sizing up Ye Xiu. To be honest, she couldn't see any "sleepiness" on Ye Xiu's face. This person had stayed up all night and all morning, and he looked a little listless, but the problem was that he was in such a half-dead, decadent state when they first met yesterday, so it was hard to see what harm not sleeping for so long had done to him.

"No need, I'll eat after I wake up!" Ye Xiu turned off the computer and called out, then ran away. Chen Guo had given him the key to the suite on the second floor yesterday. He opened the door and returned to his poor little storage room and went to sleep. It must be said that this room was very suitable for sleeping during the day. When the door was closed, it relied on the light from the small window on the top, and there was basically no light interference.

Ye Xiu fell asleep quickly after lying down. He slept very well, and when he woke up again, the sky was dark again. It was hard to imagine that a guy who had just experienced a major ups and downs in his life could sleep so carefree. Sitting up from the bed, Ye Xiu didn't turn on the light. He took out a cigarette and lit it, and after quietly smoking it, he got up and left the room.

The doors to the two bedrooms in the suite were locked. Ye Xiu knew that Chen Guo was living in one of them, and the other was a girl named Tang Rou, who was said to be the employee who had worked in Happy Internet Cafe the longest, and had been there for almost two years, but she had taken leave these days and was not there. As for the other employees of the Internet cafe who needed to be housed, they lived in a nearby residential area, where Chen Guo rented a suite specifically for the employees of the bar to live in. Ye Xiu was now a candidate there. Chen Guo said that once someone quit, he would have the opportunity to get a bed.

When Ye Xiu went to the bathroom, he saw a sticky note on the mirror. He glanced at it idly and found that the sticky note was actually written to him. Chen Guo had already prepared toiletries for him and placed them on the washstand.

Ye Xiu tore off the sticky note, feeling a little dazed. He mainly didn't expect that the new boss would have such a careful side. As for being touched or anything, this little thing wasn't enough to warrant it. He was just grateful.

After washing up and tidying up, Ye Xiu came out and looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock, and he needed to find something to eat since he hadn't eaten all day. When he came out of the suite and entered the Internet cafe, he felt a little abnormal. Although the second floor was a higher-end area with higher fees, it was deserted a little too much at the moment. Ye Xiu walked downstairs strangely, and as a result, it became darker and darker. The first floor of the Internet cafe was not lit at this time.

"What happened?" Ye Xiu looked around blankly, and found that although the lights on the first floor were not turned on, there were many people, and many people were even squeezed in the aisles. On the wall in the due south, a 200-inch projection screen was hung high, and the picture projected by the projector was playing on it, and the sound echoed throughout the Internet cafe. Everyone was very quiet, sitting in the computer seats, or standing in the aisles, and seemed to have forgotten what the Internet cafe was for, and just regarded it as a cinema, quietly watching the projection screen. Ye Xiu also quickly heard the voice of the commentary on the screen, and two names that he was very familiar with were repeatedly appearing.

Ye Qiu, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu. (One Autumn Leaf)

What was being played on the projection was a fragment of his Glory professional career. The commentator was also describing a series of achievements and honors he had achieved in his career in an extremely sensational way.

Three league championships, three times the league's most valuable player, two times the star of output, one time a one-hit kill.

Whether in teams or individually, Ye Qiu was a peak in the Glory professional league, and was the goal that all Glory professional players now wanted to surpass.

"Next, let us jointly commemorate the series of wonderful pictures that the Battle God Yi Ye Zhi Qiu (One Autumn Leaf) under the control of Ye Qiu has brought us." After the commentator finished speaking in a low, sad voice, the projection screen began to play the invincible face of the Battle God Yi Ye Zhi Qiu (One Autumn Leaf). This was a wonderful picture that was enough to arouse the excitement of the audience at any time. But at this time, everyone in the Internet cafe was quiet, there was no cheering, no cheering, everyone just silently watched this scene after scene flash by, they knew that all this had become a thing of the past from noon today.

At noon that day, Excellent Era Club held a press conference to announce the news that Captain Ye Qiu had decided to retire.

This always mysterious master did not even attend his own retirement conference. Everyone only saw the retirement statement signed by Ye Qiu himself issued by the Excellent Era manager. The Excellent Era manager then claimed that Ye Qiu, who had retired, declined the club's invitation to other positions, and had now left the Excellent Era Club alone.

The picture kept flashing. Battles, killings, records, the commentators commented from time to time, gradually reaching the bleak situation of Ye Qiu and Excellent Era. Among the audience in the Internet cafe, there was also a faint sound of sobbing.
