Hu Die Lan
Chapter 788 Direct Challenge
"You... you are..." Mo Fan's speech was never very smooth, and now he stuttered even more.
He had already experienced Su Mucheng's Gunner in the game, and had died at her hands. He definitely acknowledged her skill. However, in the game, he was always facing a group alone, and there was often a master like Ye Xiu among them, so he wasn't particularly convinced when he was killed.
Now, seeing Su Mucheng watching TV dramas and playing small games every day, he felt even more resentful about dying at her hands. He really did think of her as a pretty flower vase who relied on a master's coattails. So in the PK just now, he had intended to go all out to show the flower vase some color. But unfortunately, only a minute had passed, and he had already been bombarded to the ground by the flower vase's Gunner.
Mo Fan's level, for better or worse, could always distinguish good from bad. Halfway through the fight, he knew that he wasn't kicking a flower vase but an iron flower vase. She wasn't just pretty.
"I'm also a professional player!" Su Mucheng replied.
"Professional player..." Mo Fan was hearing this term frequently now. He wasn't completely oblivious, and he couldn't help but be a little curious. Especially being in this environment, surrounded by people he knew and those he didn't in the internet cafe, who were all so fascinated by it, made Mo Fan feel incredibly puzzled.
Was it really that interesting?
This was a question that Mo Fan had often thought about when lying in bed recently. But he wouldn't just open his mouth and talk to people about it. He was still watching and observing silently. No one would ever know if he was paying attention to this thing. And now, another professional player had effortlessly defeated him in just over a minute. This was another very strong shock to him. The strength of professional players was so powerful. What kind of world would the so-called professional circle be?
Mo Fan wouldn't discuss it with people, he would only ponder it alone. After Su Mucheng answered him, he just sat there in a daze. After a long while, he came back to his senses and looked to the side. Su Mucheng wasn't paying attention to him, and had opened a TV series to continue watching from where she left off yesterday.
Noticing Mo Fan staring over again, Su Mucheng didn't even turn her head to look at him. She casually poured another handful of melon seeds from the bag on the table and stretched her arm to scatter them on Mo Fan's table.
Mo Fan was used to this kind of action. He felt that he had expressed his refusal with his "not eating" behavior, but Su Mucheng seemed to have not seen it. When she had snacks, she would always throw a handful over from time to time, but she didn't do it in such a thorough way. Sometimes she would forget to give him any, and sometimes she would suddenly remember while eating and grab some over, which was really not pretentious at all.
Moreover, this time, after being killed in the solo match, Mo Fan's original contempt for Su Mucheng had disappeared. He even knew that he had misunderstood her and felt a little embarrassed. But it was not in his character to take the initiative to apologize. Finally, Mo Fan's hand reached out. He had never eaten the snacks that Su Mucheng gave him, but this time, he made an exception. He probably felt that this was already a way of expressing goodwill...
While somewhat awkwardly picking up a melon seed and cracking it open, Mo Fan glanced at Su Mucheng next to him. However, Su Mucheng was already completely immersed in the plot of the TV series and had not noticed him at all.
Mo Fan didn't take the initiative to speak, but silently cracked all the melon seeds on the table.
Over in the suite, Chen Guo had finally finished explaining her plans. Mo Fan had not appeared, and no one paid much attention to it. Even if that guy came, he would just sit there silently, so it didn't really matter whether he came or not. At this time, everyone was seriously thinking about Chen Guo's plans.
"Awesome, I think it's good," Wei Chen said first.
"It's a risky move!" Ye Xiu said.
Usually, the only ones who would express their opinions were the two of them. Needless to say, everyone knew how sharp Ye Xiu was, and no one had any objections to his voice being the loudest. As for Wei Chen, his reputation was far less than Ye Xiu's, but he was also a senior player, and on top of that, this guy dared to act like an old man, so he had a lot of say.
As for the others, Tang Rou and An Wenyi actually had their own thoughts and ideas, but they knew that they were unfamiliar with this circle, so even if they wanted to speak, they wouldn't rush to do so at the beginning.
Qiao Yifan was used to listening silently, and his status didn't allow him to speak. He was the type who would only speak passively when called upon.
And Luo Ji was a little clueless in this regard. His mathematical mind couldn't quite understand this kind of relationship of interests. As for Baozi, needless to say, he was definitely out of the loop. What he said was basically an extended meaning, and it was extended from Earth to Mars.
"What about the others?" Chen Guo wanted to hear more opinions at this time, although she also felt that the opinions of others would not be more brilliant than Wei Chen and Ye Xiu.
"This..." An Wenyi looked a little hesitant at this time.
"Say whatever you want." Chen Guo didn't like people beating around the bush.
"Uh, this method, I think it's a bit of a do-or-die approach, especially for you, boss. After all, if we fail in the end, we might still have the opportunity to go solo, but what about your internet cafe, boss?" An Wenyi said.
"Worrying about me? No need." Chen Guo waved her hand heroically, "Let's just talk about this matter!"
"No questions," An Wenyi said.
"What about Little Tang?" Chen Guo asked Tang Rou. She was the most familiar with her among these people. Although she didn't have a complete understanding of Tang Rou, she had already confided enough in Tang Rou, and they were close friends who talked about everything.
"Just do whatever you want to do!" Tang Rou said.
"Do whatever you want to do, that's what a boss should do!" Baozi jumped up at this time and spoke actively, and as always, his words were off the mark. Chen Guo hadn't thought about doing whatever she wanted. Those words were just Tang Rou saying them.
Chen Guo could hear Tang Rou's unconditional support and encouragement, and nodded. As for Baozi, she naturally treated him as non-existent. Qiao Yifan and Luo Ji, who followed, both looked a little nervous and didn't know what to say at all, so Chen Guo simply didn't call them out by name. Finally, she decided, "Then it's settled."
"Haha, now we've completely become villains, I think it's not bad at all!" Wei Chen said.
"With your lack of limits, this little thing is definitely not difficult for you," Ye Xiu said.
"No, my pressure is definitely not as great as yours. As a former God of Excellent Era, I strongly suspect that you will still be subjected to physical suppression. Be careful of black bricks when you go out in the future!" Wei Chen said.
"I just need to be careful that you don't take the opportunity to retaliate," Ye Xiu said.
The others didn't observe the following trash talk practice time. Everyone left the room and went back to the training room, everything as usual.
The real waves were stirred up two days later. Early this morning, Chen Guo had already organized the staff of the internet cafe to prepare the decorations.
"What kind of event is the boss going to do again?" the internet cafe employees asked. After seeing what Chen Guo wanted them to hang and put out, they were all stunned.
"What are you all dazing for, hurry up and do it," Chen Guo ordered.
"Boss, if we put these out, will we still be able to do business?" an employee suggested.
"Stop talking nonsense, your salary won't be reduced even if there's no business. Just do what I tell you to do," Chen Guo said.
The internet cafe's staff didn't rely on the internet cafe's business for commission anyway. With the boss saying this, what were they worried about? Chen Guo was a very generous boss, and the employees trusted her very much, so they immediately went to work and arranged the things that Chen Guo had arranged. The way they were placed was the same as the occasional events that the internet cafe held, and everyone was very familiar with it. Before long, everything was cleaned up. Early in the morning, there were relatively few people, but even so, the signs that Happy Internet Cafe hung out this time quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Free!
Just these two explosive words were enough to attract the attention of the entire street. Regardless of whether it was true or false, people who saw it would probably be curious and stop to take a look.
Happy Internet Cafe was indeed going to provide free internet access, and it was not limited to certain times, and it would last until the new season of the Glory Professional League started. In this way, there were a full two weeks.
People who didn't know Glory were confused about this. People who knew Glory, however, had already begun to discuss this gimmick.
What was the point of two weeks of free internet access?
People nowadays were all smart, and they wouldn't be excited to enjoy free things when they saw them. Everyone believed the saying "There is no free lunch in the world." Free things were actually more likely to make people think of them as some kind of trap.
When the employees of Happy Internet Cafe were still arranging things, the two big words "free" had already attracted many people. When everything was finally done, the truth finally came out.
People who didn't know Glory were still curiously asking about it. Those who knew Glory, especially those who played Glory and followed the professional circle, were finally in an uproar.
Why was Happy Internet Cafe offering free internet access?
Because they had formed a team, and the two weeks of free access were to send off their team to participate in the Challenger League.
Could an internet cafe team really be so generous? Of course, they could, because their goal was to break into the professional circle. Were they really not taking the internet cafe across the street seriously?
"Damn, where did these stray cats and dogs come from, talking nonsense in broad daylight?" someone in the crowd finally cursed. Without a doubt, this person not only knew Glory but was also a fan of Excellent Era, otherwise they wouldn't have cursed out immediately.
"Hehe, ignore him, it's just a trick to attract attention," someone mocked.
"These days, in order to become famous, you can brag until the universe is blown up!"
"Happy Team, what a domineering name, hahahaha!"
The Glory players in the crowd had already begun to discuss it. Regardless of whether they were fans of Excellent Era or not, they were definitely mocking Happy at this time.
Chen Guo had expected this and was not afraid at all. She calmly responded and personally stood outside the gate, knocking on the erected advertising board and pointing to the banner hanging on it, "We've just established a new team, we're strong and confident in breaking into the professional circle. Before September 1st, all internet access is free. Friends who are interested are welcome to come, maybe you'll have the opportunity to compete with our team players!"
"Hahahaha, I'm not interested in competing with your stray cats and dogs, but free internet access sounds good. Can I go in and use it now?" someone mocked without any politeness.
As a result, Chen Guo didn't seem angry at all and just smiled and said, "Of course you can."
