Hu Die Lan
Chapter 438 Vanishing Characters
Most of the players at Happy Internet Cafe supported Excellent Era and liked Excellent Era's players, that was true. But a large portion of them played classes that Excellent Era didn't have.
A team generally consisted of about eleven players. Glory had 24 classes, so it was impossible to have them all. And even if they did, there was no rule saying that your favorite player had to be from the team you supported.
Take these four people for example. Witch, Striker, and Assassin were three classes that Excellent Era didn't have at all. So the Witch player liked Wang Jiexi, the biggest name. The biggest name among Strikers was naturally Han Wenqing, but Excellent Era and Tyranny had always been at odds, so the majority of Excellent Era fans didn't like Tyranny. Thus, this person liked a Striker player named Xu Huiliu, an outstanding player from Wind Howl.
From this, it could be seen that although All-Stars were popular, it didn't mean that everyone liked the All-Star big names. There were also first and second-tier players who had their own loyal fans. For example, this Assassin player's favorite Assassin player wasn't the All-Star Assassin player Yang Cong, but Li Xun from Void. In the end, out of these four Excellent Era supporters, only the Launcher player naturally liked Su Mucheng.
"Oh oh, these four, huh? Come, come, come." Ye Xiu said, standing up. The group went out together and ran to Room 213. Internet cafe computers naturally had all sorts of accessories. As Ye Xiu logged into QQ, he said, "Let me see who's online!"
They had bravely taken this step, and the four looked at each other. They were now quite convinced that this person really was Ye Qiu.
"No one's online!" But then Ye Xiu said this, and the four immediately became suspicious again.
"I think they're invisible." So the four saw Ye Xiu drag the four of them out of his friend list and send them messages one by one.
The four didn't respond. The four players behind them didn't say a word either. They had made up their minds. They wouldn't believe it unless they saw video evidence. Who knew if this guy's actions were just to find four zombie accounts to pretend!
"Lend me your phone." Ye Xiu asked Chen Guo for her phone.
"Are you calling Mucheng?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yeah!"
The call was quickly connected, and Ye Xiu explained everything in a few words. The four began to look at each other again, starting to believe again.
Soon, one of the four windows replied, sending a video request directly. Ye Xiu clicked accept and moved the screen for everyone to see. The face that clearly appeared on the screen was none other than Su Mucheng. She waved at them, smiling and saying hello.
Probably seeing that there was no response here, Su Mucheng buried her head and typed a string of words, sending them out: "Hello everyone, I'm Su Mucheng. This person you're seeing is Ye Qiu!"
"Ah..." The four of them finally believed it completely. That Su Mucheng fan was so excited that he couldn't speak. He looked at the headset on the table, hesitating whether or not he could pick it up. As he hesitated, Chen Guo picked it up without hesitation and put it on her head. "Hi, Mucheng." Chen Guo also waved in greeting.
Then the two girls started chatting. The first three sentences were about the current matter, but after five sentences, they started to stray from the topic. After ten sentences, the five guys no longer knew what they were talking about.
"Everyone..." Ye Xiu helplessly ignored Chen Guo and looked at the four.
The four finally came back to their senses. Completely believing him, they all put on extremely shocked expressions, staring at Ye Xiu without any intention of hiding their amazement. After a long while, someone finally squeezed out a few words: "God... can you give us an autograph?"
"No problem."
"Should we go over there now?" Ye Xiu suggested.
"Okay, okay, okay." The four nodded frantically. But as they left, that Su Mucheng fan looked at Chen Guo, who was still chatting with Su Mucheng animatedly, with envy and jealousy.
"Hey? How is it! Are you ready? Wait for me!" When Chen Guo saw that this person was about to leave, she hurriedly called out again, turned around and said hello to Su Mucheng again, paused the video, and followed them.
The group returned to the living room. After going around in a circle, they finally proved Ye Xiu's identity. The four's attitude was completely different. Their respect was mixed with nervousness. Among these four, although three of them liked players who weren't from Excellent Era, the team they supported was definitely Excellent Era. Ye Qiu's status in their hearts could be imagined. Back in the living room, after being restrained for a while, the four finally started talking, bombarding him with all sorts of strange questions and gossip.
"Everyone, everyone, can we talk about what happened earlier?" Ye Xiu forcefully dragged the topic back to the main point.
"What else is there to say? I have no problem helping God Ye Qiu." One of them immediately patted his chest.
Then another person, after hesitating slightly, also nodded.
The remaining two people showed hesitant expressions on their faces. Obviously, it wasn't easy to give up a character account that they had sincerely invested in. Even though Chen Guo promised that the equipment, property, and even quest records would be kept as close to the original as possible, and that the friends and guilds were just a little troublesome, but not impossible to handle. But just the name, something that had no real impact on the character, was truly the bond between the character and the owner. Changing it immediately gave a feeling of things being different.
Because they understood this feeling, Ye Xiu and Chen Guo didn't say things like "it's actually the same." They just silently waited for the two to make a decision. After a moment of silence, seeing that the two were still struggling, Ye Xiu sighed and explained all the difficulties they were currently facing, everything that he could say.
The four of them were shocked again after hearing this.
No matter what, a God who had once built an empire for the team, being suppressed to death by his old club, they couldn't accept it. Excellent Era's image collapsed rapidly at that moment. The four of them instantly switched from fans to haters. At that moment, a wish rose in the hearts of the four of them, hoping that God could successfully rebuild his team, return to the pro league, and then ruthlessly suppress Excellent Era.
"Take them!" The two who had been hesitating earlier directly slapped the account cards onto the table.
"Thank you."
"God, you must do your best!!!" The other two said as they took out their cards.
"Of course." Ye Xiu said.
"We will definitely support the new team."
"Thank you!"
The four of them readily handed over their account cards, generously offering their blessings. Of course, they didn't refuse the compensation that Chen Guo was giving. Chen Guo was also decisive and immediately ran out to buy accounts online. Glory's player base was so large that it wasn't difficult to find four accounts that met the requirements. After all, the four characters weren't anything impressive in the pro scene. But no matter how easy it was, it couldn't be faster than the four directly taking the cards out of their pockets and slapping them on the table.
With the main matter settled, the four couldn't help but surround the God to worship him and gossip a bit, before finally leaving satisfied.
"What should we do with these four accounts?" Chen Guo finally found a chance to talk to Ye Xiu.
"Not using them is the best way to use them," Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah." Chen Guo nodded. Ye Xiu had already explained the entire plan to her. In fact, a large part of the reason for exchanging these four accounts was that he didn't want the four ordinary players to get into trouble. There was no doubt that Excellent Era would try to test their strength by following these four characters. If they really returned the accounts to those four players, they would die every time they were tested. The game would simply be impossible to continue playing.
Although this would prevent Excellent Era from achieving their goal, the four players would undoubtedly become pitiful sacrifices. Ye Xiu and Chen Guo couldn't do such inhumane things, so they tried to find a way to exchange the four players' accounts afterward. Ye Xiu and Chen Guo were also limited by resources, so they had already done a good job in responding like this.
That night, Ye Xiu continued to level up as quickly as possible, with Chen Guo accompanying him. On Excellent Era's side, they didn't dare to provoke him casually at this time. A group of people in the Excellent Dynasty guild were constantly searching for the names of the four characters.
Not online!
Not online!
Not online!
Not online!
All four characters were offline. All four characters had been offline all the time.
Searching was just a matter of raising a hand, but repeatedly searching was also annoying. From Liu Hao to Chen Yehui, those waiting for news were even more annoyed. They couldn't wait to know what the strength of this group of experts was.
"It's strange! All four characters haven't been online all the time. What's going on?" Chen Yehui had been waiting all night and hadn't done anything. Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, and that Liu Hao was probably about to rest, he sent Liu Hao a message on QQ to discuss.
"Be patient, there's still plenty of time." Liu Hao was quite calm. He had lost his temper a few times, and the results had been disastrous.
"Do you think... is it possible that Ye Qiu has completely figured us out, so he specially arranged four temporary characters to use and then discard?" Chen Yehui wasn't stupid and had already suspected the truth.
"That's possible..." Liu Hao discussed Ye Xiu, but didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
"If that's the case, a real-life encounter won't go smoothly either," Chen Yehui said.
"Let those two go over tomorrow and take a look," Liu Hao said.
The next day, the two players who had been tasked with kicking the arena were ordered to go to Happy Internet Cafe to surf the Internet again.
"Yo, aren't these the two expert brothers?" As soon as the two entered, Chen Guo immediately saw them. The customers at the internet cafe came and went in waves. Those who were there yesterday might not be there today, so not many people recognized these two.
"Boss lady, you're joking. We wouldn't dare to call ourselves experts here," the two said quickly.
"Hehe." Chen Guo just smiled and didn't say much. "Are you here to surf the Internet?"
"Of course." The two were decisive.
Chen Guo called out and the receptionist opened machines for the two of them. The two immediately tried to get close: "Are the expert brothers here?"
"No," Chen Guo said decisively.
"When will they be here?" The two asked after being stunned for a moment.
Chen Guo also looked surprised: "How would I know that? They're all customers. How can I control who comes when?"
