Chapter 1 The aimless leveling

Ye Xiu and Chen Guo were out of patience. Watching him level up leisurely was hardly entertaining. Chen Guo was more interested in Zhan Loulan and his team's match against Wang Jiexi.

"Wang Jiexi sought them out again. What's his intention? Does he value their talent and want to recruit them?" Chen Guo knew about Wang Jiexi's attempt to recruit her and made this deduction.

"I don't know!"

"I'll go scout around," Chen Guo said.

"If you want to watch, just go. Why make excuses…" Ye Xiu said disdainfully.

Chen Guo waved a fist at Ye Xiu and went to ask Zhan Loulan. Chen Guo, who had never been fond of money-burning players, was touched after watching Zhan Loulan and Huang Shaotian's PK, and her opinion changed greatly. Indeed, money could save a lot of detours in managing a character, especially in terms of equipment. However, one could not ignore the other party's efforts.

Although Zhan Loulan was a little absent-minded in the first half of the match against Huang Shaotian, he showed his efforts very well in the later stages. Chen Guo couldn't help but feel a little regretful for judging people with colored glasses before. But of course, there was no need to say it out loud. Since she felt regret, she would get along well with people in the future.

With that in mind, Chen Guo became interested in the sparring between Zhan Loulan and his team and Wang Jiexi. As soon as she asked Zhan Loulan, he immediately sent the room number. Chen Guo ran over and saw that the match was in full swing. This time, because there was no Tu Jun Mo Xiao, Ye Xiu’s burdening character, they were using a normal arena. Wang Bu Liuxing, this godly character, had absolutely overwhelming equipment, and Zhan Loulan and his team wanted to see how powerful a godly account's equipment was.

When Chen Guo entered, she saw Xiao Bei's Battle Mage defeated. After asking the others, she learned that this was the end of the second match. The Elementalist, Qianfang Gehai, had already lost a round.

It hadn't been long, but two matches had already been played. It was clear that against Wang Jiexi, they lost even more miserably than against Huang Shaotian. After all, this time they not only experienced the skills of a pro player but also felt the power of a godly character.

After Xiao Bei lost, Ye Xi and Zhan Loulan took turns, but they couldn't create any opportunities and were defeated by Wang Jiexi. The remaining Cleric naturally didn't need to go up for a duel. After losing four matches in a row, they were a little embarrassed. They wanted to play again but were too embarrassed to make such a request that would waste the other person's time.

That's right… After facing a pro player using a godly character to display his true power, they felt that PK with him was a complete waste of time.

"Hehe, you lost miserably!" Chen Guo was feeling sorry for them when Ye Xiu drifted over with a sentence. Chen Guo turned to look, but Ye Xiu had already turned his gaze back to his screen. However, he had obviously glanced at the battle situation from Chen Guo's screen.

"This isn't a fixed arena. Their characters are far behind Wang Bu Liuxing, right?" Chen Guo had seen their equipment. It was indeed as gorgeous as a money-burning player should be, but there was still a gap compared to pro characters. A pro character's equipment was not only the best that could be obtained in the game but also the self-made equipment they had researched. Especially Wang Bu Liuxing, a character that had been enshrined, had silver equipment from head to toe. This was not just money, it was the crystallization of money, glory, and cutting-edge technology.

"Yes, I don't think they don't know this. I just don't know if they're prepared," Ye Xiu said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Guo asked.

"Did you forget? Zhan Loulan and his team were very optimistic about their strength at the beginning! It's understandable that they don't understand the gap in skill and experience without experiencing it firsthand. But the gap in equipment is very obvious. They wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that their skills can make up for such an obvious equipment gap, right? Based on their previous optimism, I think they should have prepared something in terms of equipment. What they're wearing now might not be the equipment they'll use in the pro league in the future," Ye Xiu said.

"Are you saying they've also prepared silver equipment?" Chen Guo said.

"Even if they don't have it now, they should have a way to make up for some of the gap in equipment, right? Otherwise, I'd be speechless to these ignorant kids," Ye Xiu said.

As they were talking, the match wasn't over yet. Wang Jiexi actually exchanged blows with each of them again. This round wasn't as tragic as the previous one, but the outcome didn't change. The greater advantage in the non-fixed arena made it difficult for Wang Jiexi to lose to these few.

"What does Wang Jiexi mean by this?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu.

"Aren't you the one who went to scout? Why are you asking me again?" Ye Xiu retorted.

"You know these people very well, don't you? Tell me about it!" Chen Guo said.

"He's just testing their strength," Ye Xiu said.

"Testing their strength?"

"These people will be their Tiny Herb's opponents next season. Wang Jiexi never underestimates any opponent. He really wants to find out the level of Zhan Loulan and his team," Ye Xiu said.

"What about now? After two rounds, can he figure it out?"

"He's probably seen enough of their individual skills. As for the team, I guess he's too embarrassed to say 'I'll take on all five of you.' He'll probably find an excuse, like… um, let's have a friendly match sometime," Ye Xiu said, his eyes wandering.

"Ah!" Chen Guo exclaimed, because after she turned around, she found that Wang Jiexi was indeed discussing with Zhan Loulan and his team about organizing a friendly match in the public channel.

"You're amazing!" Chen Guo turned to Ye Xiu and shouted.

"I'm amazing, but it's the amazingness of eyesight," Ye Xiu said.

"What?" Chen Guo was stunned.

"I saw him talking!" Ye Xiu pointed to Chen Guo's screen.

Chen Guo suddenly understood. It turned out that this guy saw Wang Jiexi saying this in her public channel. No wonder he hesitated just now and his eyes wandered. Chen Guo tried very hard to swallow the swear words that came to her lips.

In the arena, Zhan Loulan and his team happily agreed to the friendly match. Chen Guo couldn't help but worry, "Are we being fooled?"

"Fooled? You're exaggerating too much. Zhan Loulan and his team are being tested by Tiny Herb, but they can also personally experience the strength of the champion team. This is a rare opportunity for them," Ye Xiu said, glancing at Chen Guo's screen again. After seeing the conversation between the two sides, he sighed, "Oh, they're scheduling it until the end of the season! Tsk, tsk, Wang Jiexi, Wang Jiexi…"

"What's wrong?"

"This guy obviously thinks that these guys aren't enough to play in the pro league right now, so he deliberately pushed the time back a bit to see if these people will improve during this period. He's really putting in a lot of effort," Ye Xiu said.

"This person is really…" Chen Guo had only seen Wang Bu Liuxing on the field. The Wang Jiexi behind this character was only occasionally seen in some reports or interviews. Chen Guo wasn't his fan, so she didn't know much about him. But from Ye Xiu, she felt that she understood a real Wang Jiexi. For a moment, she didn't know what words to use to describe him.

Chen Guo felt a little uncomfortable with this person, but she didn't deny that he was dedicated! This person was really, really dedicated. Like Ye Xiu, Chen Guo felt that she couldn't match their dedication to Glory.

After Wang Jiexi and Zhan Loulan's group agreed, they exchanged contact information and left the arena. As soon as Zhan Loulan came out, he sent a message to Ye Xiu, sending a depressed expression.

"I saw everything," Ye Xiu replied.

"Huh?"

"From that Zhuyan Xia's computer," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, you two are together!" Zhan Loulan said.

"Yes."

"We lost so badly." Zhan Loulan burst into tears.

"There's a difference in strength and in characters. You should have been mentally prepared for this result, right?" Ye Xiu replied.

"We were, but losing is never a happy thing!" Zhan Loulan said.

"You're going to become professional players soon. You have to learn to get up from failure quickly and learn from failure," Ye Xiu lectured.

"That's the theory, but it's not something you can do just by talking!" Zhan Loulan continued to burst into tears.

"Keep it up!" Ye Xiu said.

"Yes! Definitely!" Zhan Loulan sent a struggling expression, gnashing his teeth. Obviously, after being beaten up by Ye Xiu last time, he was stimulated again today.

Afterward, both sides minded their own business and didn't say much.

Until the next day, major e-sports media platforms, from the Internet to print media, all published a headline: Professional Masters Surround Jun Mo Xiao, Kneeling and Begging for a Battle, Why???

Three big question marks were flashing on various media platforms. The content reported was that a large group of pro players' characters suddenly flocked to the Realm of Gods last night, and then entered the same room in the arena. They weren't sparring with each other, but were all pointing to one opponent. He was Jun Mo Xiao, a mysterious man who had risen rapidly in the Glory circle recently, wielding a shape-shifting silver weapon, and reviving the Scatteed gun, which had been gone for a long time!!!

"Pfft!" This sharp narrative caused Chen Guo, who was reading the report at breakfast, to lose her composure on the spot. Her breakfast milk sprayed all over the face of the "mysterious man" opposite her.

"Hey!" Ye Xiu protested.

"Sorry, sorry, cough, cough! It's really...cough..." Chen Guo choked herself as well.

Tang Rou was in a flurry, handing Ye Xiu a napkin with one hand and patting Chen Guo's back with the other.

The reaction of the three of them was just a small scene. After the report came out, each of the clubs immediately had their players shouted over. Those who hadn't gotten up were dragged straight out of bed, especially those who were clearly listed in the long list in the report.

"What the hell! What the hell are you doing!!!" The managers or leaders of each team, although they didn't spit out breakfast milk, used very out-of-control words.
