"Right, right, that one. What class is the Battle God?" Although Tang Rou didn't even remember the name "Battle God Ye Qiu," Chen Guo mentioned it often enough that it left some impression on her. Besides that, even more memorable was the Launcher "Mu Yu Chengfeng," the direct reason Chen Guo played a Launcher. Chen Guo's number one idol, the character she talked about the most.

As Tang Rou spoke, she glanced at Chen Guo, immediately noticing the gloom on her face.

"What's wrong?" Tang Rou was startled. She'd known Chen Guo for two years, and while she was used to seeing her angry, she'd never seen her looking so sad.

"Ye Qiu... retired," Chen Guo said.

"Ye Qiu? Is that the owner of One Autumn Leaf?" Tang Rou asked.

"Yes."

"What about One Autumn Leaf?"

"One Autumn Leaf is still around, but..."

Chen Guo couldn't quite describe the relationship. In the cold world of professional esports, characters and players were sharply divided. For players who loved Glory, some envied the powerful characters of the pro scene, while others admired the pro players' superb skills. Thus, there was some debate about titles like Battle God: some thought it belonged to One Autumn Leaf, while others thought it belonged to Ye Qiu, the player behind One Autumn Leaf. But gradually, such disputes increasingly attributed the title to the character.

Simply because the character was a permanent fixture, while the player was merely a temporary soldier.

Players transferred teams, players' skills declined or faded, players eventually retired, but characters didn't. As long as the club was willing, the character could be firmly held in their hands and constantly improved. The longer the time, the more skill points and the stronger the equipment. Currently, the most influential characters in Glory were almost all created during the first server era, with a history of nearly ten years.

Their players had changed countless times, but their reputation had never declined since the day it was established.

Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns.

A powerful character, as long as it was controlled by a powerful player, could display its power. But what about the player? No one could defeat the ruthless killer of time in the face of natural laws.

Ye Qiu and One Autumn Leaf were a rare exception. The character and player had partnered for ten years, something unheard of in the Alliance. While other characters experienced changes in their player, and players disappeared behind the scenes, leaving their names to the characters, the title of Battle God had always been shared by Ye Qiu and One Autumn Leaf. From the day that title was first called out, Battle God had always belonged to the two of them.

Unfortunately, One Autumn Leaf was ultimately just a character, and Ye Qiu was ultimately just a player. Players were destined to leave first, leaving the character to inherit the name forever.

While other characters had already been transferred several times, this was only the first time for the Battle God. That was why so many players were heartbroken, and why Chen Guo became saddened whenever One Autumn Leaf, the Battle God, was mentioned. For her, the moment Ye Qiu left, the title of Battle God became incomplete. Something that had been filled with so much emotion was suddenly torn apart.

Tang Rou couldn't understand Chen Guo's sadness, so she could only sit quietly beside her, holding her hand without saying a word.

But Chen Guo was, after all, Chen Guo. She had already been deeply saddened yesterday, and repeatedly moping around wasn't her style. After being gloomy for a while, her spirits lifted again, and she looked at Tang Rou and said, "The Battle God's class is Battle Mage. What, do you want to play it?"

"Sure! Maybe someday I'll become the owner of that One Autumn Leaf. Then I might even become the new Battle God!" Tang Rou said.

"Ah! That goal is a thousand times more noble than defeating Ye Xiu! Little Tang, you must work hard towards this goal!" Chen Guo said with a smile.

"Okay!" Tang Rou nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll tell you about the Battle Mage class now?" Chen Guo said.

"Okay," Tang Rou nodded.

"The Battle Mage belongs to the Mage class, using magic to strengthen themselves for close combat. There are two weapon specializations: staves or spears. Staves generally have an attack speed of 8, so attacks are faster. Spears generally have an attack speed of 2, so they're slower, but the attack is higher and the range is larger. I personally prefer spears; they're more imposing. How could you be embarrassed to be called the Battle God without being imposing? Look, One Autumn Leaf also uses a spear. Once..."

"Guo Guo..." Tang Rou reminded Chen Guo that she was digressing.

"Oh..." Chen Guo coughed and continued, "The main features of the Battle Mage are the magic Chasers that can enhance their own attributes and the Battle Spirit learned upon awakening. Especially Battle Spirit, which is a passive skill that completely relies on the player's own skill to improve the character's ability. If you see a Battle Mage getting stronger as the battle goes on, don't be surprised. One Autumn Leaf was hailed as the Battle God because Ye Qiu's skill could..."

"Guo Guo!" Tang Rou was already helpless.

"Okay, okay, let's watch a video. How about I explain it to you while we watch?" Chen Guo said.

"Okay, okay," Tang Rou nodded. Chen Guo didn't even need to search online. How could she have few Battle God videos? She had collected countless of them. She clicked on one and started explaining it to Tang Rou with great enthusiasm, but as she explained, she was soon left with only exclamations.

"Oh, look, look, this move..."

"Roar roar roar, 88 back attacks in a row! Do you know how much that can increase the Battle Spirit's attributes?"

"Hahaha, this idiot ran right into it."

"Guo Guo..." Tang Rou was helpless for the third time.

"Don't you think I should watch something more basic first? You're having me learn from the top Battle Mage right from the start?" Tang Rou said weakly.

"Oh, is that so? Then let me find some!"

The two girls were immersed in learning about the Battle Mage until a young internet cafe employee came over to call them for dinner, but Chen Guo impatiently chased him away.

Until a voice came from behind, a voice that had been making Chen Guo perk up as soon as she heard it these past two days: "Oh, learning about Battle Mages?"

Ye Xiu!

Chen Guo immediately turned around. "What? Is it any of your business?"

"Little Tang wants to play Battle Mage?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yes," Tang Rou nodded.

"I can teach you this!" Ye Xiu said.

"Hmph, no need," Chen Guo said dismissively.

"Boss, do you know what you just rejected?" Ye Xiu said seriously.

"Tch." Chen Guo was too lazy to pay attention to him. She turned back to Tang Rou and said, "These are all Battle Mage guides written by Ye Qiu. Look, I've organized them all for you, from simple to complex, from attributes to skills to equipment, practical techniques, experience, skills, practice methods, and these accompanying videos, amazing highlights."

"Okay, okay," Tang Rou nodded repeatedly.

"Seriously, not wanting live instruction, insisting on becoming self-taught?" Ye Xiu muttered.

"Go away. Is your guidance even a tenth as good as these guides?" Chen Guo said.

"Sigh... don't you guys regret it!" Ye Xiu sighed.

"You're too noisy," Chen Guo said without turning her head. Tang Rou turned to Ye Xiu and smiled. "I'll ask you for advice if I have any questions."

"Hehe, you'll have them soon. The guide you're reading now is from nine years ago. There have been systematic adjustments and advances in player skill in the past nine years. Although this guide is still readable, there are four things to pay attention to. The things mentioned there are completely unsuitable for today's Battle Mage," Ye Xiu said.
