Chapter 44 Record Breaking Is No Fun Anymore

Without the fierce scramble of the major guilds, breaking dungeon records didn't seem so exciting anymore. It was like a 100-meter race; it was thrilling to stand out from the crowd and win the championship. But if only one person entered the race and took all the top spots, it wouldn't be fun at all.

Happy Guild's current occupation of the Gloomy Forest dungeon record had a similar meaning. The dungeon record competition, which was originally the most important thing in Glory, was now like a solo show. Dominating the top ten spots on the list caused exclamations of amazement from the players in the tenth server and made the members of Happy Guild feel extremely proud, but the five people who created the records felt extremely bored.

Even Qian Cheng and Ma Houpao felt the same way. Creating records ten times in a row made these two ordinary players a little numb. What should have been an exciting experience ten times over ended up being completely unfeeling.

"Another record?"

"Yeah, another record."

That was it. There wasn't even an exclamation point in the words.

"What's next?" Tang Rou, who hated the lack of challenge, asked Ye Xiu.

"It's good that no one is causing trouble, let's continue to level up!" Ye Xiu said calmly. The doubts he had previously had about the lack of reaction from the major club guilds seemed to have disappeared.

So, dungeons, leveling, and quests continued as the necessary content for leveling up. Due to the level difference, it was the same fixed teammates every day. A good online game was now somewhat solidified like a single-player game. But Ye Xiu still played seriously. In addition to leveling up his own character, he would also personally manage some guild affairs. He often taught Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, two very promising rookies. He even occasionally paid attention to the progress of Mo Guang's operating skills and the dungeon guides he continued to study.

One day, two days... time passed day by day, everyone's level rose day by day, and the professional league was also being held game after game.

Since that day, Happy Internet Cafe still retained the tradition of broadcasting matches on match days, but it was no longer a Jiashi exclusive. They also picked some exciting matches to show. As a result, the cohesion had dropped a lot, and the match day had lost its usual excitement.

After all, the loyal viewers on match days in the past all had teams they supported in common, so they looked at each other with kindness and had a lot in common. These people may not have liked the big projection screen, but they definitely liked the atmosphere of a group of people sitting together mocking their opponents and cheering for their own teams.

This atmosphere was the real key to the success of Happy Internet Cafe's match day broadcasts. But now, without relying on the cohesion of the Jiashi team, only that one projection screen made a world of difference. On match days, the Internet cafe could still attract a lot of viewers when there were some notable confrontations, but it no longer had the same lively scene as before.

Many people felt very sorry about this and missed the previous regulars. Some even advised Chen Guo to go back to the previous model, but Chen Guo refused without hesitation.

Fortunately, although the Internet cafe was not as good as before on match days, the normal business was not ruined by this. The daily traffic seemed to be as full as ever.

Peaceful days always passed quickly. During the entire leveling process in the level 44-46 Gloomy Forest, Happy Guild still did not receive any challenges from the major guilds. They dominated the dungeon record charts.

In the blink of an eye, January was coming to an end, and the Spring Festival was approaching. The Glory game company had already begun to promote the activities during the Spring Festival, and the activities during the Spring Festival had always been the longest and most rewarding in the Glory online game, and it was the most important activity of the year.

However, no matter how wonderful this event was, it would be difficult to stir up a craze in the Internet cafe business again.

After all, the festive nature of the Spring Festival in China was by no means comparable to that of Christmas. Even the professional league entered a period of suspension and vacation during the Spring Festival. Even if they usually took care of the regulars at the Internet cafe, at this time, everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their own families.

Chen Guo, as a kind boss, gave her employees a vacation quite early.

"What about you?" Chen Guo finally asked the new employee she had added this year.

"What about you?" The new employee, Ye Xiu, asked in return.

"This is my home," Chen Guo said.

"Take me in..." Ye Xiu said decisively.

"Aren't you going home?" Chen Guo frowned.

Ye Xiu slowly shook his head.

Chen Guo sighed softly and didn't say anything more. This was someone else's family matter. Although they had been friends for a while, Chen Guo didn't know much about it, and she didn't think she was qualified to say anything more.

"Not bad, I have a companion for the New Year this year." In the end, Chen Guo welcomed Ye Xiu with relief.

"What about Xiao Tang?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Packing things!"

"She's going home?" Ye Xiu's question was a little strange.

Chen Guo nodded.

"Where is her home?" This was the first time Ye Xiu had asked about Tang Rou's personal affairs.

But Chen Guo also shook her head: "I don't know."

"Uh... don't you think Xiao Tang's background is also quite meaningful?" Ye Xiu asked.

Chen Guo just smiled and said, "So what? Anyway, she's not a bad person."

"You're right." Ye Xiu nodded, turned around, and continued to play the game diligently. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. There were no customers in the Internet cafe. Only the sound of Ye Xiu's mouse and keyboard echoed constantly. The other employees had also received the New Year's red envelopes from Chen Guo and happily went home to celebrate the New Year.

Chen Guo wandered around bored for a while, and then saw Tang Rou coming down from upstairs with her luggage. Chen Guo hurried up to help. Tang Rou shook her head: "It's not heavy!" She said, and carried it down herself.

"Everyone's gone?" Tang Rou looked around the Internet cafe, and finally her eyes fell on Chen Guo, and she said.

"I'm still here!" A hand was raised behind a computer in the corner, wiggling twice in the smoke, answering Chen Guo's question.

"Aren't you going home?" Tang Rou also shouted.

"I don't have time, I have to work," Ye Xiu replied.

Tang Rou and Chen Guo couldn't help but smile. However, the two of them, who knew a little about Ye Xiu's situation, knew that this sentence was of course just a joke. Of course, not going home wouldn't be for such a reason. In fact, in this day and age, which family didn't have a computer? Internet cafes provided a service of atmosphere. And during this special moment of the Spring Festival, everyone had important atmospheres to feel, and people who liked to play in Internet cafes had to temporarily endure playing in their houses.

"Don't forget to level up when you get home! Don't be like Baozi, who got left behind after an event." Ye Xiu finally put down his "work" and walked over to earnestly remind Tang Rou, who was preparing to leave.

"I know..." Tang Rou replied with a smile.

"Here, take the red envelope." Chen Guo handed over a big red envelope.

"Thank you, boss, Happy New Year." Tang Rou smiled even more brightly and accepted it without hesitation.

"What about mine?" Compared to not refusing, there was also someone who took the initiative to ask for it.

"Why are you in such a hurry!" Chen Guo rolled her eyes and didn't give it to him.

"I'm not even going home, this should be considered overtime pay, right?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Xiao Tang, I'll call a car for you." Chen Guo directly ignored Ye Xiu. After a month of running-in, Chen Guo was still very admiring of Ye Xiu's level, but there was really no worship or admiration at all.

"Be careful on the road!" Ye Xiu also came out to wave goodbye to Tang Rou.

"Happy New Year!" Tang Rou also waved to Ye Xiu, got into the taxi parked on the side of the road, and then drove away under the watchful eyes of Chen Guo and Ye Xiu.

"It's so cold! Let's go back!" Ye Xiu shrank his neck and called to Chen Guo.

"Yeah." Chen Guo responded and the two returned to the Internet cafe together.

"Still open?" Ye Xiu pointed to the door of the Internet cafe.

Chen Guo glanced at it: "Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's keep it open!"

"There's a Christmas tree for Christmas, don't you need to arrange something for the Spring Festival?" Ye Xiu asked.

Chen Guo was stunned for a moment: "This... I haven't thought about it."

"Too ignorant, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"I've always been alone, too lazy to do it," Chen Guo said.

"Uh, it's not this year. I think the weather is good, why don't we go get some New Year's goods?" Ye Xiu said.

"The weather is good? Who said it was cold just now?" Chen Guo asked.

"It's cold because you're wearing too little." Ye Xiu rushed upstairs to wrap himself in a coat and came down. As a result, Chen Guo stared at him blankly for a long time.

"You don't have a second coat, do you?" Chen Guo said.

"That's the truth!" Ye Xiu said.

"I said, did you just move from across the road? You're so lazy! You didn't take anything?" Chen Guo said.

"Get this straight, I didn't retire and resign because I wanted to come here to be an Internet cafe manager!" Ye Xiu said.

"Then where are your things?" Chen Guo asked.

"Probably... with Su Mucheng?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Aiyo!" Chen Guo immediately became happy, "I'll go with you to get them back, okay? It doesn't matter if we go hundreds of times."

"There's nothing important," Ye Xiu said.

"That's not important." Chen Guo obviously didn't care about Ye Xiu's things at all.

"You're chasing stars, right? Don't worry, she's also on vacation recently, we can invite her over to play someday," Ye Xiu said.

"Which day, which day?" Chen Guo asked quickly.

"Which day do you want?"

"Every day!"

"... I'll ask her later."

"Okay, let's go get some New Year's goods now." Chen Guo also became energetic.

After tidying up, the two left the Internet cafe together.

"I said... you only have one, not just a coat, right?" Chen Guo began to gossip.

"What do you want to say?" Ye Xiu squinted.

"Have you changed your clothes?"

"Seeing as you and I have different schedules, I forgive you for your poor observation," Ye Xiu said.

"But I don't seem to have seen you go out to buy anything?" Chen Guo asked suspiciously.

"Taobao, dear!"

"......"
