Chapter 147 Remembering the Past

Seeing the name on the tombstone, countless thoughts and ideas flashed through Chen Guo's mind in an instant. She wanted to further confirm the information on the tombstone, but the distance and position made it impossible to see any other words clearly. Based on the principle of not disturbing, Chen Guo didn't get any closer, but instead stretched her neck, trying to see if she could find any useful information in the area blocked by their figures.

As she was trying hard, Ye Xiu suddenly turned his head and immediately saw Chen Guo.

Chen Guo knew that Ye Xiu must have seen her, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to bury herself in, and then erect a tombstone and die there. She immediately pretended not to see Ye Xiu looking at her and looked around. After a while, she glanced over and saw that Ye Xiu was still smiling and looking at her, beckoning her to come over.

Chen Guo paused, then made gestures to confirm, and only walked over after seeing Ye Xiu nod.

Chen Guo, familiar with Nanshan Cemetery, knew the different tomb specifications here. The row Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng were in should be the lowest grade in Nanshan Cemetery. The layout was simple, and the space for people to sweep the tomb was small. If there were many relatives and friends, they wouldn't be able to stand in front of the tomb at the same time. When Chen Guo arrived, she saw that the simple little tomb was cleaned very cleanly, probably by the two of them just now. The bouquet of bird-of-paradise flowers was quietly placed in front of the tombstone. Chen Guo could finally see the words on the tombstone clearly.

The address and the time the tombstone was erected gave Chen Guo some information quickly. Ye Xiu stood aside, gently patted the tombstone and said, "Look at this guy, if he wasn't here, he would definitely be one of the top gods in Glory now."

"He's your brother!" Chen Guo said, looking at Su Mucheng. The address on the tombstone already indicated this.

"Yes." Su Mucheng nodded, taking off her hat and sunglasses in front of the tomb. There wasn't much sadness on her face, only deep remembrance. Judging from the dates on the tombstone, this person had passed away at the young age of 18, almost eight years ago.

"He was?"

"A car accident," Su Mucheng said.

"Oh..." Chen Guo was silent. She had truly felt this kind of sudden grief before.

"He was my only family," Su Mucheng said.

"Ah?" Chen Guo was stunned. Then she remembered that Su Mucheng, as a star, had never had any information about her family in her profiles. Chen Guo had always thought it was because she didn't want to reveal her family privacy. When Ye Xiu didn't go home for the Spring Festival this year, she knew what was going on, but even Su Mucheng was staying at the club. Chen Guo was a little puzzled at first, but didn't think too much about it, assuming that Su Mucheng was staying to accompany Ye Xiu. Now she realized that Su Mucheng had no one to reunite with even if she wanted to during the holidays. What about Chen Guo? She did live alone here, but in fact, she still had some relatives, but they didn't see each other often.

"We both grew up in an orphanage. Later, something happened, and we were wandering outside. My brother always took care of me," Su Mucheng said.

Chen Guo continued to stare in disbelief. She had never imagined that this dazzling Glory star would have such a tragic past. Her brother, Su Muqiu, had passed away at the age of 18. Before that, he had already been shouldering the burden of supporting two people. Chen Guo couldn't imagine how hard their lives must have been.

"Haha." Unexpectedly, Su Mucheng laughed at this moment. "Don't think we had a hard time back then. Actually, we didn't! My brother relied on his gaming skills, and we lived very well."

"Gaming skills?"

"Yes!" Su Mucheng smiled. "Acting as a power leveler, selling equipment, participating in underground competitions, and even writing cheats. There was nothing he couldn't do in the game."

"Oh, that's really good." Chen Guo said, but she felt even more bitter in her heart. Because she knew that Su Mucheng was saying it that way, but the truth might not have been as happy as she said. Don't forget that Chen Guo grew up in an internet cafe, and had been running one ever since, and a pretty good one at that. Even if she didn't start playing online games from the beginning, she was always in an internet cafe, so Chen Guo was actually quite clear about the kind of livelihood Su Mucheng had just mentioned in the game.

These things could indeed allow people to live, but it was difficult to live a life of wealth and luxury. Chen Guo didn't know to what extent Su Muqiu had done it, but he was just a teenager at that time, and it must have been very difficult to support two people. And there was a very real thing in front of her. Su Muqiu's tomb was the lowest grade in Nanshan Cemetery, indicating that their assets must have been limited when he was buried.

Chen Guo didn't think that Su Mucheng was saying this to comfort herself. Perhaps it was because she was really satisfied at the time. A little girl who had been living on the streets with her brother since she was a child had such simple requirements for life. This was why she felt very happy about the days that others might have considered to be very difficult.

What made Chen Guo so sure was the expression she saw on Ye Xiu's face at that moment. While Su Mucheng was happily reminiscing about those things, this guy, who was always calm, also showed a bit of bitterness on his face. Chen Guo knew that this guy was not some homeless and pitiful teenager. He certainly wouldn't be on the same level as a homeless little girl when it came to measuring the quality of life. Obviously, Ye Xiu knew what the Su siblings' lives were like at that time, so when Su Mucheng mentioned the "happiness" at that time, his expression was somewhat synchronized with Chen Guo's mood, who had figured out these things.

"Later, when the game Glory came out, my brother was very happy. He was very optimistic about this game and put all his energy into it," Su Mucheng said.

"I met them around this time," Ye Xiu said.

"After you ran away from home?" Chen Guo asked.

"Yes." Ye Xiu nodded. "After meeting them, I got along very well with Muqiu. We were both determined to make a name for ourselves in the game Glory, so we stayed in the game together every day, studying professions, studying skills, studying equipment, and studying Glory's original equipment editing system. Even now, there are still self-made silver equipment researched by him in the professional circle."

"Really!" Chen Guo exclaimed.

"Yes! One Autumn Leaf's battle lance, Evil Annihilation (Que Xie), was his creation!" Ye Xiu said.

"And the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella (Qianji San) too?" Chen Guo suddenly thought of this. When she first recognized this silver weapon, Ye Xiu had briefly mentioned a friend. At that time, Chen Guo sensed something, so she didn't ask too much. Now it seemed that the friend Ye Xiu mentioned at that time was Su Muqiu.

"Yes, he was very talented, right? It's just a pity that the level 55 update erased the significance of the unspecialized class and this weapon at once." Ye Xiu sighed.

"But my brother didn't give up!" Su Mucheng said.

"That's right. The idea of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella came from the time when the unspecialized class was popular. This guy came up with an idea at that time, and he kept researching and experimenting since then. He didn't give up after countless failures. Who knew that he was finally close to success, and he was even preparing a new character to level up with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella when that update appeared. When I first saw that update, even I couldn't accept that such a tragic thing could happen. His silence at that time scared us. Do you know what happened later?" Ye Xiu asked.

"What?" Chen Guo was shocked. The first thing that came to her mind was that Su Muqiu became depressed because of this and deliberately crashed his car and committed suicide. But then she thought that if that were the case, how could Ye Xiu still ask "Do you know what happened later?"

"The day after, when we were still worried about him, he casually threw an account card to me, smiled and said, 'It's just starting over again.'" Ye Xiu said.

"He's really strong." Chen Guo admired Su Muqiu from the bottom of her heart.

"Later, he really gave up the idea of the unspecialized class calmly, chose a profession, and leveled up again. At that time, with the new update, the news that the professional league was about to be established was gradually released. We were both considered relatively famous experts in Glory at that time, and we were contacted and invited. Although the unspecialized class didn't come to fruition, we could finally go further in Glory. Everyone was very happy, but it's a pity..." At this point, Ye Xiu was finally sad, and he looked down at the tombstone. In the photo embedded in the tombstone, a handsome young man with some resemblance to Su Mucheng was smiling calmly and confidently.

In an instant, Chen Guo seemed to really hear a voice saying in a very unrestrained way: It's just starting over again.

Yes! Only with absolute confidence could one say such a thing easily and calmly after the blow of overturning all past efforts. And this was just a teenager.

"At that time, we had already confirmed the team and were preparing to sign a formal contract when he had an accident," Ye Xiu sighed.

The three of them were silent. Su Mucheng also turned her head slightly, but quickly turned back. Although there were tears in her eyes, she stubbornly hung a smile on her face. "But he still left a lot of things behind!"

"That's right. Evil Annihilation (Que Xie) of One Autumn Leaf. Without this silver weapon, I probably wouldn't have been able to win three championships smoothly. Hehe, at that time, this silver weapon was a bit terrifyingly ahead of its time. You can ask Old Wei when you get back. It'll scare him to death!" Ye Xiu said.

"And Lord Grim (Jun Mo Xiao), the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella (Qianji San), what he didn't achieve in the past can now be achieved!" Chen Guo also said.

"And the account he was going to use to play in the professional league," Su Mucheng said.

"Oh? Where is it?" Chen Guo sincerely wanted to worship the character that this strong and confident teenager had left behind, which should have been a god, but became a regret.

"It's the Dancing Rain (Mu Yu Cheng Feng) that I'm using now!" Su Mucheng said.
