“Aren't you verging on a personal attack!” Chen Guo wanted to laugh, but also had to seriously remind Ye Xiu.

“How could I be? I'm just stating facts. If you don't believe me, just sit there!” Ye Xiu said, already moving his chair further away. Chen Guo hesitated slightly again. After Ye Xiu said that, she felt a little creeped out and hurriedly picked up her stool to chase after him. During that time, she didn't dare to look back at the projection screen, afraid that the horrifying scene Ye Xiu described would appear.

By the time the two of them had resettled, the first round of the individual competition was already nearing its end. The Blue Rain player executed a beautiful, flawless combo, killing the Microherb player and achieving a good start.

“Nice!” Chen Guo had only just sat down when she saw this result, and she shouted with all her might.

“Which side are you supporting?” Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask.

“Either one.” Chen Guo said.

“Then why are you yelling?”

“It was a good fight, so I yelled!” Chen Guo was oblivious to everything else. At this point, apart from the mess, the internet cafe was deserted. Not to mention competition days, even on ordinary days, there would never be so few customers during this peak period. In the desolate emptiness, they were the only two still watching the big projection screen.

“A match without expectations seems a bit boring.” Ye Xiu said.

“Which side are you supporting?” Chen Guo asked.

“Me? I'm a professional. I look at the match from a research perspective. Look, these are all our future opponents.” Ye Xiu pointed at the two pro characters in the replay of the first individual match that had just ended on the screen.

Chen Guo was starting to feel fired up, especially since Ye Xiu used "we," making Chen Guo feel like she had also stepped into this lofty Glory circle.

The second match started quickly. They were still the only two in the entire internet cafe paying attention. The others watching the competition were silently watching Team Excellent Era's match while guarding their movies.

Actually, how could Chen Guo be indifferent to the state of her internet cafe? Her Happy Internet Cafe had always been favored by Excellent Era fans because it was right across from the Excellent Era Club. Chen Guo, the boss herself, was also a passionate Glory player and Excellent Era fan, so she had smoothly turned it into a gathering place for Glory players and Excellent Era fans. However, her actions today had undoubtedly offended many loyal Excellent Era fans, somewhat destroying her own brand. Chen Guo also felt a little uneasy about the future. However, she had never been one to swallow her anger. She had already gone from being a fan of Excellent Era to hating them, so she couldn't be bothered to cater to these Excellent Era fans anymore. Whether it was impulsive or not, if she had to do it again, Chen Guo believed she would still do the same.

She also felt apprehensive, but she didn't want anyone to see it, so she tried to appear nonchalant. Looking at Ye Xiu beside her, he was truly nonchalant. Sitting amidst the mess, he was watching the match with complete absorption and enjoyment, as if no one else was there.

“Beautiful!” Ye Xiu suddenly shouted, startling Chen Guo, who was spacing out, almost off her stool. Pretending to enjoy the match, she didn't want to reveal her pretense, so she quickly focused on the screen and echoed, "Mmm, beautiful."

Turning her attention back to the match, she saw that the Microherb player had the upper hand in this round, and the advantage was obvious. Chen Guo couldn't figure out what Ye Xiu's "beautiful" shout was about, and she couldn't ask him. Patiently, she watched the Microherb player maintain his advantage and defeat his opponent. In the subsequent highlight reel, Chen Guo finally understood the confusion in her heart. The Microherb player had initially been on the defensive, but he seized an opportunity and used a beautiful maneuver to seize the advantage, which led the great god Ye Xiu to shout his praise.

After that, during the third match, Chen Guo was too embarrassed to space out again, but while watching, she inadvertently glanced at Ye Xiu and noticed that he was spacing out this time. He wasn't looking at the projection screen, but his gaze was fixed on the computer screen of a customer next to him.

The customer was searching for Excellent Era's match broadcast online. Chen Guo only glanced at it once and immediately noticed that Su Mucheng was playing for Excellent Era in this match...

Immediately, the two people sitting directly in front of the projection screen tilted their heads and squinted at Excellent Era's match from a distance, naturally because they were concerned about Su Mucheng's victory or defeat.

As a result, Su Mucheng won beautifully in Excellent Era's match. Excellent Era's opponent, Bright Youth, was a truly bottom-tier team. Their team's goal was to try their best to maintain their alliance seat. The players on the team were not strong, and their accounts were relatively weak. The difference on paper between them and a superstar player like Su Mucheng was already large enough. Su Mucheng's performance was also stable, and she won successfully without facing any challenges.

The two temporary audience members who had been watching Su Mucheng's match immediately turned back, both aware of something.

“Ahem…” The two coughed lightly, and just as they were about to say something, the internet cafe's manager, finally deceived by Boss Chen's acting skills, felt that the boss was unexpectedly calm today and that the internet cafe being almost demolished didn't seem to bother her. So, he finally mustered up the courage to come forward, just in time to report the results of their cleanup.

“I understand. Throw away the broken ones, and find someone to replace them tomorrow.” Chen Guo said calmly after listening to how much was broken, and continued to remain calm.

“If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.” Ye Xiu said on the side.

“Is that supposed to be comforting?” Chen Guo asked.

“No, it's stating a fact.” Ye Xiu said.

At this time, the individual match between Microherb and Blue Rain had also completely ended. Microherb won two matches, earning two points; Blue Rain won one match, earning one point. Chen Guo watched the three matches absentmindedly, not leaving half an impression in her mind.

After a moment of rest, the team arena began, and the commentators and guests also became very excited. When they received the list of players, they discovered that a name had been added to Microherb's lineup: Gao Yingjie.

“If I remember correctly, Gao Yingjie had never appeared in an official match before the All-Star Weekend, right?” the commentator said.

“That's right, but I think everyone still remembers Gao Yingjie's wonderful performance in the Newcomer Challenge during the All-Star Weekend. Now it seems that his performance has finally earned him a real place in the Microherb team.” The guest took the opportunity to express his opinion.

“I don't know if Gao Yingjie will still play in the final team competition. We haven't received the team competition lineup yet,” the commentator said.

“If he can maintain the kind of performance he had at the All-Star Weekend, I think he can definitely get a main position in the team competition as well.”

“Microherb has truly cultivated an extraordinary newcomer!”

“Indeed, in his age group, there is no one else in the alliance who can fight Wang Jiexi, a top-tier god, to a standstill.”

“And he even won.”

“One match can't really prove that Gao Yingjie has surpassed Wang Jiexi.”

“But at this age, to have such strength, has there ever been such a player in the alliance?”

“Uh…” Obviously, the guest hadn't done his homework in this area. The commentator had dug a pit that he couldn't fill, so he awkwardly chuckled. Fortunately, the match had already started, and the commentator quickly picked up the thread and began commentating on the match.

“Gao Yingjie, is this kid really that amazing?” Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu.

“He's quite remarkable.” Ye Xiu said.

“What if he were fighting you?” Chen Guo asked.

“Hehe.” Ye Xiu smiled without saying a word.

“Speak!” Chen Guo pressed.

“It depends on the actual combat. It's hard to say.” Ye Xiu said.

“So you're not completely confident?” Chen Guo asked.

“In the pro scene, no one would say they have complete confidence.” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh.”

“I usually only say nine out of ten. You have to leave some leeway!” Ye Xiu added.

“…” Chen Guo was speechless.

The match started, and Gao Yingjie seemed to have gained confidence from the All-Star Weekend competition. He played extremely well in this real league match, which was by no means a show. However, Gao Yingjie's outstanding performance didn't give him too much of an advantage, because his opponent was also not weak.

Blue Rain's Yu Feng was an all-star player, while Gao Yingjie was still a bit inexperienced compared to him. Moreover, compared to each other, there was an absolute gap on paper: the account character.

Yu Feng's Berserker, Sword Light Sharp Edge, was not a god-level account, but it was not far off. In comparison, the Magician Mu En in Gao Yingjie's hand was far inferior.

Gao Yingjie was being cultivated by Microherb to take over Wang Jiexi, and Wang Bu Liu Xing (Wang's Magician character, meaning "King Doesn't Stay") was the character he would be operating in the future. Microherb didn't have a double Magician tactic, so the club didn't put too much effort into creating Gao Yingjie's Mu En. It can be said that it was basically an account character that was created to cultivate Gao Yingjie. Compared to the accounts in the hands of all-star players, the gap was of course huge.

Gao Yingjie's brilliant performance during the All-Star Weekend certainly helped him gain confidence, but it also made all the teams more wary of him. No one would underestimate him just because he was a young rookie. Yu Feng was exactly like this. Gao Yingjie was currently able to gain the upper hand, not so much because he was performing well, but because Yu Feng was taking a reactive approach.

After all, for a newcomer who had never officially played, the information that each team had was extremely limited.

Everyone valued his strength during the All-Star Weekend. But what was his technical style? What were his operating habits? What were his skill usage preferences? This information was still being collected slowly. Facing a formidable opponent who was also unfamiliar, it was not surprising that Yu Feng adopted such a game attitude.

“Young people, once they break through their shackles, they really are unstoppable!” Ye Xiu said, watching the match with emotion. He could see Wang Jiexi's intentions during the All-Star Weekend.
