Chapter 248 A Few Pointers

“Who's the newbie?!!” Chen Guo, hearing Ye Xiu's assessment, turned around and roared back with a thousand protests, then spun back to her keyboard and entered another match.

“So heartless! I can’t help you, so you slap it like that?” Ye Xiu muttered, but his voice was a little too loud, loud enough for Chen Guo to hear. Both angry and frustrated, she decisively lost the third match as well.

She felt like pushing the table and leaving, but she was afraid of being coldly scorned by Ye Xiu, so she gritted her teeth and entered the fourth match.

Tang Rou brought the things back to the room and, after tidying up a bit, returned, only to see Chen Guo grinding her teeth and banging away at the keyboard.

"What's wrong?" Tang Rou asked, surprised. Chen Guo's mood had been great all day, so how had she suddenly combusted like this?

“She’s lost six matches already,” Ye Xiu said.

"Count your money properly! I'll wring your head off if you miscalculate!" Chen Guo roared. Ye Xiu was doing the cashiering and accounting, and he was even helping her count how many matches she had lost.

"You got angry again!" Tang Rou said helplessly. She had also brought her keyboard and mouse down, wanting to try them out. All day today, she had been listening to Chen Guo talk about how powerful a high-end, easy-to-use keyboard and mouse would be. As a result, Chen Guo came back and couldn't wait to switch to her new keyboard and mouse, and then she lost six matches in a row. Tang Rou realized the root of her dissatisfaction.

Silently coming to the computer next to Chen Guo, Tang Rou installed her keyboard and mouse while watching Chen Guo accept the invitation to start the seventh game. Tang Rou had skill now, but her insight, something that required experience, was not even as good as Chen Guo's. She really couldn't see much of anything from watching. But judging only from the simple method of comparing the length of both sides’ health bars, Chen Guo was undoubtedly at a disadvantage again.

"Play slowly, what's the rush?" Ye Xiu's voice floated over again.

"Oh my, why is this person so talkative? It's so noisy. Let's find a quieter place," Chen Guo said to Tang Rou.

"Aren't you usually fond of the lively atmosphere?" Tang Rou smiled.

If she really wanted a quiet environment, she could just go to the private rooms on the second floor. But Chen Guo, as the owner of the internet cafe, never enjoyed herself on the second floor. She always hung out in the lobby on the first floor because she liked the atmosphere of a group of people playing games together. She had grown up in such an atmosphere. As the owner of the internet cafe, she really didn't understand why people liked to play computer games in the relatively independent spaces on the second floor. What was the difference between going to such a place and playing at home?

"So noisy! So noisy! So noisy!" Chen Guo muttered along with the rhythm of her actions, habitually operating the keyboard and mouse with force, as if she were twisting Ye Xiu's head. With this kind of mentality, she performed well in this game, and it looked like she was about to turn the tide.

Tang Rou was logging into the game on her side when she suddenly heard Chen Guo shout "Ah!" She turned her head and saw that Chen Guo's Chasing Haze had been knocked into the sky and was being juggled in mid-air.

"Just use a Aerial Fire and run away!" Ye Xiu said.

"You don't need to tell me!" Chen Guo said, firing into the air. As a result, the angle swayed wildly in mid-air. She didn't master it this time, and in the end, the cannon fired towards the sky. With the recoil pushing back, Chen Guo's Chasing Haze actually pushed herself to the ground.

"Tsk tsk, you're being a bit too casual, aren't you?" Ye Xiu said.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's your eyesight? You can see it from so far away!" Chen Guo simply stopped playing, and ran to the front desk to settle accounts with Ye Xiu in a huff.

Ye Xiu had already finished greeting the customers and was free. He smiled and said, "How can you be a pro if you don't have good eyesight!"

"If you're a pro, give me some pointers! Don't always say sarcastic things!" Chen Guo said.

"Didn't I give you pointers? Telling you not to slam the keyboard is telling you to have a peaceful state of mind; telling you to play slowly is because you have to rush forward; telling you to use Aerial Fire to dodge, but you fire it at the sky..." Ye Xiu said.

"Can't I make a mistake?" Chen Guo interrupted.

"But such mistakes can be avoided if you put in the effort. Look, I reminded you a long time ago that 'Heavy Metal' is more suitable for you, but you insist on using 'Gentle Breeze Seven', it's too floaty!" Ye Xiu said.

"I, I..." Chen Guo couldn't answer. Thinking about it, Ye Xiu was indeed reminding her in every sentence, but she just couldn't get over it. Chen Guo felt that she didn't need so many reminders from this person. It might be more helpful to let her kick him a few times so she could have a peaceful state of mind and perform stably.

"Try switching to 'Heavy Metal'!" Ye Xiu took the "Heavy Metal" mouse to the front desk and pushed it to Chen Guo. Chen Guo had thrown the mouse over there earlier, obviously not taking it seriously at all.

"Try it?" Chen Guo stared suspiciously at the seemingly bulky mouse, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.

"You might not be used to it at first, don't rush, just play slowly! And your opponents recently might be stronger," Ye Xiu said.

"Why?" Chen Guo asked.

"You're famous, everyone wants to challenge you," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo immediately understood and was half angry to death again, "It's all your fault, I won't lend you my account next time!"

It turned out that the last time Ye Xiu borrowed her account to instantly kill Around the Shore, Chasing Haze had become famous. The video was still hanging high and had not sunk to the bottom. How many outsiders knew that Ye Xiu had borrowed the account, they only thought that it was a pro's main account and came to pay their respects. For a time, there were those who wanted to win her over, those who wanted to ask for advice, those who wanted to become her apprentice, those who wanted to invite her to battle, and even friends who came to question her for hiding her skills.

Chen Guo was so depressed that she wanted to die. She didn't feel like she had become famous in one battle at all. That was Ye Xiu's fame. Chen Guo felt that that guy had finished being cool and left, leaving her to clean up the mess. It was really too much!

"Uh, I was a little inconsiderate. I should have played more modestly, so you wouldn't have so much trouble," Ye Xiu said.

"Ah... That's nothing..." Ye Xiu actually said that he was inconsiderate, making Chen Guo unable to accept it for a while.

"But if you hang out in the arena more, everyone will soon realize the truth, right?" Ye Xiu continued.

"Go to hell!" Chen Guo grabbed the mouse, turned her head and left. How could she have mistakenly thought that this guy would have a heart of repentance?

"I'll continue to guide you remotely!" Ye Xiu shouted at Chen Guo's back.

"Annoying!" Chen Guo said.

Tang Rou had been laughing all this time. When Chen Guo came over, she helped her change the mouse.

Chen Guo waved the "Heavy Metal" twice, complaining that it was too heavy, and her heart was obviously resistant.

However, she immediately entered a one-on-one match. When the two sides started fighting, Chen Guo really was a little unaccustomed to the new, heavy mouse. But this time, her mood was balanced, the cold water had already been poured. The help brought by the new keyboard and mouse was also limited, Chen Guo had already realized this fact.

When she played seriously, Chen Guo wasn't that bad. If not top-notch, she at least had the level of Tian Qi and Moon Midair, and could fight with most players. In addition, her account had been managed for many years, and her equipment was relatively good, so she had the advantage in most cases.

During this game, Chen Guo quickly discovered the benefits of "Heavy Metal." Compared to the previous "Gentle Breeze Seven", this heavy mouse really seemed easier to control.

Although it was a bit heavier, it was still a mouse, not a brick. It could be moved with a flick of the wrist. Saying that it was "exhausting" to move the mouse was obviously an exaggeration.

"What that guy said seems to be true..." Chen Guo muttered, and she had already made up her mind about this mouse. The more she used it, the more smoothly it felt, and the more fluid her movements became. This game was finally won easily without any twists and turns.

"Hmph, let's see what else you have to say." Chen Guo felt pleased in her heart, and glanced back at the front desk, and immediately became angry again.

She finally won a game, but that guy didn't even look, he was hiding in the front desk playing his own thing.

Chen Guo was helpless, she couldn't force people to watch her play the game! Annoyed, she entered another match, and glanced at Tang Rou's screen, seeing that she had also entered the game and was in First Line Canyon.

"What are you guys doing?" Tang Rou asked.

"Well, I played all day yesterday, and my equipment is almost out of durability, so I have to repair it," Tang Rou said.

"Are you still being chased?" Chen Guo asked. The two girls had hung out together all day, and had exchanged many stories about Glory.

"Looks like it. Ye Xiu told me to train more," Tang Rou said.

"Where is he?" Chen Guo asked casually.

"He just logged in, and he's also in First Line Canyon. We'll probably go to the dungeon together later," Tang Rou said.

"Oh..." Chen Guo responded and continued her arena PK.

Ye Xiu had been offline for half an hour. After logging back in, Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion were not by his side. Their current situation made it inconvenient for them to be exposed in crowded places for a long time.

"Did you kill the Boss over there?" Ye Xiu sent a message while opening the kill record list for the Flame Witch.

"Not yet," Su Mucheng replied. Ye Xiu also saw from the list that there was still only their first kill record.

"It's hard work!" Ye Xiu sighed.

"I really want to go back and see what it's like!" Su Mucheng said.

"Stop gossiping, let's farm the dungeon later and go to bed early!" Ye Xiu said.

"Everyone's here!" Su Mucheng also saw that Tang Rou's Soft Mist and Qiao Yifan's One Inch Gray had logged in.

"They're repairing their equipment," Ye Xiu replied.

Equipment basically needed to be repaired after a day of leveling and fighting. If it weren't for this trouble, the few of them could have stayed in First Line Canyon. Hiding in this maze was actually pretty good.

"Hopefully we can get there before those people kill the Boss," Su Mucheng said.

"Probably, it'll take time for them to come over after killing the Boss," Ye Xiu said.

"Flame Forest isn't far from here, right?"

"Uh, many people are probably coming from Empty Accumulation City," Ye Xiu said.

"Tragic!" Su Mucheng sighed.

The three of them casually killed monsters while waiting for the dungeon to reset at 12 o'clock and waiting for Tang Rou and Qiao Yifan to repair their equipment and return. Finally, the system message that they had been waiting for for a long time was announced: The Flame Witch Karxiu of Flame Forest was finally killed by the Tyrannical Ambition guild.

"Oh, they killed it, not bad!" Ye Xiu said, while sending a message to Night Cold: "What did it drop?"

"Why? It's none of your business, right?" Night Cold replied.

"Based on your progress, I want to update the list of bets," Ye Xiu said.

"Damn, no way!" Night Cold replied decisively.
