Chen Yehui and the others were still indignant about having to fight even for crumbs, but Ye Xiu's team's skills were becoming more and more refined. In addition, finding Christmas thieves was mainly a matter of luck. Once, they had an incredible stroke of luck, and in 20 minutes, they gathered and killed over four hundred Christmas thieves.

Having accumulated a wealth of experience in snatching crumbs, Chen Yehui could even estimate the progress of Ye Xiu's team each time based on the amount of crumbs left behind.

The days of crumbs were certainly difficult, but Chen Yehui was still gritting his teeth and persevering. Even crumbs from the City of Sin were far larger than crumbs from other leveling areas.

There were more new players than old players, but at this time, they were confined to these few leveling areas, so you could imagine how high the population density was. If they were really thrown into places like Flowing Land and First Line Canyon, many people wouldn't see a single wisp of a scoundrel for hours. On the world channel in the new server, crying and wailing was the main theme of the day's activity.

Watching the leaderboard, the distance to the top three was getting farther and farther, and the distance to the names of many people behind him was getting closer and closer, Chen Yehui was anxious, but helpless.

He knew that Ye Qiu was in that internet cafe not far from the club. The thought of running over and cutting the power lines had even flashed through his mind, but he ultimately didn't stoop that low.

Chen Yehui only had one hope now.

After all, the event lasted for 36 hours, and unlike the characters in their guild, who could take turns, Jun Mo Xiao could only be played by Ye Qiu alone. No one else could do what Ye Qiu could do.

Chen Yehui's plan was to take advantage of Ye Qiu's rest time to intensify his efforts to expand his advantage, so that Ye Qiu would be completely unable to reverse the situation when he came back online.

However, seeing the rate at which the other side was increasing, Chen Yehui suspected that when Ye Qiu went to rest, he would have to figure out how to catch up with their score.

But no matter what, it was still a hope.

"Go and rest quickly!" Chen Yehui kept praying.

In Happy Internet Cafe, Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, and Chen Guo were all in high spirits.

It was already past midnight, and although today was Christmas Eve, it was also a Monday. Christmas had no holidays, so people celebrating it had to restrain themselves a bit. In terms of gaming, although there were Christmas events, games couldn't replace real life after all. By late at night, there were still fewer people. This was true for the new server, the old server, and the Heavenly Domain.

Those who insisted on playing online undoubtedly gained more space. In the dead of night, there were obviously fewer complaints on the world channel about not being able to kill Christmas thieves. Chen Guo's income had also improved significantly as a result, which helped her get through the most drowsy period. She wasn't used to staying up late, but she was still in high spirits at this late hour.

The City of Sin in the tenth server was probably the only place in Glory that wasn't affected by the late night. All the accounts and characters that could reach the top level in the major guilds were running 24 hours a day. Staying up all night was extremely normal. During the time when online players decreased in other areas, the City of Sin had the same number of people in the afternoon as it did now, and it still had far fewer players than other leveling areas. Picking up crumbs was more comfortable than what they were going through.

The online players were all busy, and Ye Xiu was no exception. Tang Rou and Su Mucheng originally stayed by his side to help him block trouble. However, after dealing with the characters sent by Excellent Dynasty the first time, they didn't see any more troublemakers. In this round, Chen Yehui had already admitted defeat. Ye Xiu had already joined forces with twelve guilds, so causing trouble again would be like a moth flying into a flame. Chen Yehui weighed the situation, and although he was jealous, he rationally went to pick up the crumbs.

So Tang Rou and Su Mucheng ended up accompanying Ye Xiu's Lord Grim as he ran around. This was too boring for Tang Rou. After following him twice and seeing that there was nothing to do, she took her Soft Mist and went to lure monsters like the other players. In the end, only Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain followed behind Ye Xiu's Lord Grim. They would chat a few words when they had something to say, and silently do their own things when they didn't. Su Mucheng also had the strength to gather some monsters, and she often helped Ye Xiu when unexpected situations occurred.

The players of each guild gradually calmed down after the initial excitement. However, they were still highly motivated as they watched their rankings on the leaderboard rise steadily.

The night grew deeper and deeper, but the base of Glory players was large. Although the vast majority of players went to rest, there was still a large number of night owls to prevent the world from seeming deserted. In addition, the population in the new server was concentrated, and competition was still fierce in several leveling areas. The world was filled with complaints about not being able to find monsters, cursing people for stealing monsters, and cursing that the gift packs contained garbage. It didn't stop until dawn.

Seven o'clock in the morning was usually the time when any habitual night owl started to rest. Chen Yehui was also someone who was used to working late into the night. Like Ye Xiu, he would normally go to rest at this time. The only difference was that his character would still have someone continue to level up.

And this morning, Chen Yehui dragged his tired body, but his eyes were still wide open. He was staring intently at his message alerts. He didn't have Lord Grim on his friends list, but there was always a way to know when the other person went offline. Seven o'clock, after a long period of observation, he already knew Ye Qiu's habits. Chen Yehui had been waiting for this moment all night. He had decided to work harder. While Ye Qiu went to sleep, he would continue to work and seize the few hours that the guy was resting to snatch Christmas thieves. He had already thought of many ways to do it.

However, time passed by, but no news came. Chen Yehui couldn't help but send a message to ask.

Of course, the other party was helpless. Whether Lord Grim went offline was something that only Lord Grim knew! All he could do was check if Lord Grim's name was still lit up, which it was. There was no mistake.

"This guy..." Chen Yehui vaguely felt a little uneasy. He could be determined to persevere in his work, so why couldn't Ye Qiu? This guy was also known in the circle as someone with extraordinary energy. Even when he was a professional player, he often stayed up all night. This was one of the excuses he and Liu Hao used to attack him back then.

"It seems like this guy isn't planning to sleep for the time being..." At eight o'clock, Chen Yehui saw that he wasn't getting any news, and his fatigue doubled. He was already yawning repeatedly.

Finally, after thinking about it, he instructed the person who was taking over his shift, "Call me immediately when Lord Grim goes offline." Then, he went to rest.

36 hours, it was impossible to not rest at all, right? Chen Yehui thought so, and he believed that he could find this time difference.

Could he persist for 36 hours? There was no answer yet. But at least he had persisted for 24 hours. At noon, Ye Xiu was still slumped in front of the computer, looking a little listless. But most of the time, he looked like this anyway.

Chen Guo, who had just woken up at noon, was startled. She had gone to rest at six o'clock in the morning because she couldn't hold on any longer. But thinking about the Christmas event that only happened once a year, she quickly got up after sleeping for less than six hours, ready to jump into battle. When she came downstairs, she saw that Ye Xiu was still sitting there, looking like he hadn't moved.

"Did you sleep in?" Chen Guo turned around and pulled out her seat as she asked.

"No." Ye Xiu shook his head.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Chen Guo was surprised, but so far, Ye Xiu had only stayed up for 24 hours without sleep. Chen Guo was surprised, but not very shocked yet. After all, she had also stayed up until six o'clock in the morning, which was almost 24 hours.

"I'm fine." Ye Xiu replied.

"Aren't you sleepy either?" Chen Guo turned around and asked Tang Rou, who was still fighting here!

"I'm fine." Tang Rou's tone was almost exactly the same as Ye Xiu's.

"You two are really something." Chen Guo said as she turned on the computer.

At Excellent Era Club, Chen Yehui was also concerned about the event. He slept at eight o'clock in the morning and woke up four hours later. After a moment of confusion, he remembered Ye Qiu and Lord Grim, and woke up with a start. He got up and rushed to the studio.

No one had called him yet, which meant that Lord Grim hadn't gone offline. This guy was really able to endure. But it should be soon, right?

As Chen Yehui thought, he entered the studio and came to the player who was using his character in the tenth server.

"Is Lord Grim still there?" Chen Yehui asked as soon as he arrived.

"Yes." The other person responded, and when he saw Chen Yehui coming, he stood up and gave up his seat. He was really not busy looking for crumbs in the City of Sin.

Chen Yehui sat down, and the first thing he did was open the leaderboard. He glanced at it and his face turned so ugly that even his eye boogers fell off. Chen Yehui was so engrossed in his work that he forgot himself. He rushed over as soon as he got up, without even bothering to wash his face.

On the Christmas Thief leaderboard for levels 31-35, there were no longer any Excellent Dynasty players on the first page.

There were none on the second page either.

There were none on the third page either.

All the way to the fourth page, the fifteen good men were no longer standing shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand, but were scattered and squeezed apart by others. Some of them had even fallen to the fifth page.

Judging from the difference in points, the fifteen good men still had a chance to stand together, but most of them would probably have to stand on the sixth page.

Sixth page, ranked outside of one hundred...

The other side had exactly one hundred players in a group! Chen Yehui's teeth itched with hatred.

Then he looked at the guild's leaderboard ranking.

Excellent Dynasty was still in first place. They still had a large advantage in total points. However, the gap had been narrowed a lot. Several guilds behind them were catching up one after another. In a few hours, they would definitely surpass Excellent Dynasty. And the only good news was that Excellent Dynasty wouldn't fall to the sixth page.

"Why isn't Ye Qiu asleep yet?" Chen Yehui hated him, but the question he was thinking about was so mundane, and he was concerned about whether Ye Xiu was sleeping.

Seeing that Lord Grim was still there, Chen Yehui didn't have much interest in the game for the time being. After leaving another sentence, "Call me immediately when Lord Grim goes offline," he went to do the things he hadn't had time to do after getting up.
