Chapter 177 "Haha, you came crawling after losing?"

"Haha, you came crawling after losing?" Chen Guo was even more amused when she heard Xiao Ming's shout. She especially understood Xiao Ming's mood right now. After being beaten to a pulp in just ten minutes, if he couldn't see the difference in skill, Xiao Ming would have played Glory for nothing for so long. To be fair, Chen Guo used to admire Xiao Ming's skill before she met Ye Xiu. After all, professional players were a very distant existence to everyone at that time. When talking about skill, no one would bring up professional players. But after meeting Ye Xiu, who was always hanging around, Chen Guo's measuring stick gradually became chaotic. Compared to Ye Xiu, everyone in Happy Internet Cafe was just a bunch of trash!

"I'll go greet him." Now that the trash had come, Chen Guo was quite happy and went out to greet him.

"What are you shouting? The second floor is my high-end area, don't make any more noise." Chen Guo went out and scolded Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming wore a mournful face and didn't dare to shout loudly anymore. He trotted over and said, "Sister Chen, I'm here to pay my respects to the great god."

"What great god?" Chen Guo asked cheerfully.

"Stop pretending, Jun Mo Xiao, it's all over the internet now, isn't that Ye Qiu, the great god? How did he end up here? What's going on? Is Ye Qiu planning to form a team and kill his way back into the professional league?" Xiao Ming lowered his voice more and more, as if he were talking about a very mysterious matter.

Ye Xiu's Jun Mo Xiao had been watched in Happy Internet Cafe when he PKed with Tang Rou very early on. Those who paid attention to the name Jun Mo Xiao at that time were definitely from the tenth server. The tenth server was a new server, mainly populated by new players, because Glory had the Realm of Gods as the ultimate destination, so for old players, changing servers was meaningless, unless they didn't plan to go to the Realm of Gods and just wanted to play in the ordinary servers.

At that time, the onlookers witnessed Ye Xiu's skill and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand. It's hard to say how many discerning people there were at that time, but even those who saw how powerful he was were just casual acquaintances in the internet cafe, and they would just gossip a few words and be done with it. Who would be so shameless as to follow someone around every day just because they saw a skilled player? Those who thought Ye Xiu was good didn't expect that he was actually the famous great god, did they?

As time went on, Jun Mo Xiao's reputation grew in the tenth server, but to others, it was just the business of an unrelated stranger. There was envy, jealousy, and hatred, but there were still few who ran over to suck up to him. After all, in the internet cafe, that was reality. It wasn't as easy as in the game to spam the screen with shouts of "Big brother/sister, please carry me."

After a while longer, when the gossip about Jun Mo Xiao being Ye Qiu started to come out, the earliest onlookers had long disappeared. They were just internet cafe customers, not internet cafe employees. No matter how familiar a customer was, they might suddenly stop coming one day, and they wouldn't even bother to say goodbye.

The fact that Ye Xiu and Jun Mo Xiao were in Happy Internet Cafe mainly didn't spread because of the new server and the new players. Xiao Ming, who played in the Realm of Gods, wouldn't possibly know, no matter how familiar he was. The players in the Realm of Gods wouldn't pay attention to the waves being stirred up in the new server. By the time they paid attention to a level 50 newbie from the tenth server charging into the Realm of Gods, they wouldn't even know that this Jun Mo Xiao was actually under the same roof as them.

So when the match started just now, when he saw Jun Mo Xiao jump out, Xiao Ming's eyeballs almost popped out. He basically had no mood to play after that. It was very natural that he lost, and then he rushed up to pay his respects to the great god.

"Keep it down!" Chen Guo said.

"Huh? Jun Mo Xiao is really the great god Ye Qiu?" Xiao Ming asked in surprise.

Whether Jun Mo Xiao was Ye Qiu was a conclusion in the professional circle, and the core members of the major guilds in the online game circle were also relatively clear. Beyond that, there were just some rumors. Ye Xiu had never stood up to admit it, and the club guilds in the online game circle would never do that! Ye Xiu was already making them spit blood even with his weak strength. If they helped him expose his identity and surround him with millions of fans, wouldn't the Realm of Gods be unified?

"Yes, he is!" Chen Guo seriously admitted. There was no need to hide this matter. It would be known sooner or later. Ye Xiu had never come out to admit it, but he had never denied it either. At first, Chen Guo didn't understand, but later she realized that everyone was busy gossiping, but Ye Xiu didn't care about these things at all.

"Can I meet him?" Xiao Ming asked obsequiously.

"This... wouldn't that be bad?" Chen Guo said. It wasn't that she was putting on airs, but Ye Xiu had never shown his face when he was a professional player. Now, Xiao Ming's request was embarrassing him.

"Don't you know the habits of the great god Ye Qiu? Look, I came up here alone." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Guo was still hesitating when the door behind her opened again, and Ye Xiu came out of the training room.

Xiao Ming had seen Chen Guo come out of this room earlier and guessed that the great god Ye Qiu must be in this room. When he saw someone come out, he was immediately excited, but after seeing clearly, he just said "Eh."

"Oh, it's Xiao Ming!" Ye Xiu said.

"Eh, you're still here? I thought you quit and left!" Xiao Ming also spoke to Ye Xiu.

"Hehe, still here!" Ye Xiu said.

Xiao Ming was a super regular at Happy, familiar with everything about Happy. He knew who came and who left as clearly as Chen Guo, but he didn't know about special arrangements like Ye Xiu's. Chen Guo wouldn't explain it to him. Later, Ye Xiu mainly hung out on the second floor, and he never saw this person again, so he just assumed he had left. An internet cafe would have countless people coming and going every year. Xiao Ming had no relationship with Ye Xiu, so of course he didn't pay any attention to him.

"You're also... a member of the team?" Xiao Ming was surprised to see Ye Xiu come out of that door. He knew that this internet cafe employee also played Glory, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. Because Glory was too popular, countless people played it. When you entered the internet cafe, the screens were full of it, so there was no need to be surprised. But now, seeing that Ye Xiu had also come out of that room, possibly a member of that super-skilled team, Xiao Ming was astonished. So the deeply hidden expert was right beside him, and he hadn't even noticed.

"That's right!" Ye Xiu nodded.

"The great god Ye Qiu is inside too?" Xiao Ming asked.

"I am." Ye Xiu said.

"..." Xiao Ming's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropping, and after a long silence, he turned to look at Chen Guo. "Sister Chen, don't mess with me! Ye Qiu is working as a network administrator for you?"

When Chen Guo heard this, she didn't know whether to be embarrassed that she was blind or proud that she was so awesome that even a great god was only fit to be a network administrator. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

"You guys chat." Ye Xiu greeted and was about to leave.

"What are you doing?" Chen Guo hurriedly asked.

"Buying cigarettes. I'm out of cigarettes," Ye Xiu said.

Watching this person's back until he disappeared at the stairwell, Xiao Ming didn't recover for a long time. He looked at Chen Guo and asked, "Is it true?"

"Yes!" Chen Guo nodded.

"What's going on?" Xiao Ming looked blank.

"It's nothing. A great god needs a computer to play Glory, right? It just so happens that I have a lot of computers. It's just a coincidence," Chen Guo said.

"I... I... I need to digest this. There's a lot of information..." Xiao Ming looked like he couldn't stand straight, which made Chen Guo extremely happy. She was finally fortunate enough to witness the scene of a great god's identity being suddenly revealed and everyone being stunned.

While Xiao Ming was digesting, Ye Xiu had already bought cigarettes and returned, with one already in his mouth. Seeing that the two were still there, he nodded and said, "Still chatting?"

While speaking, he handed a cigarette to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming foolishly took it. Ye Xiu took out a lighter and lit it, and Xiao Ming blankly leaned over to take a puff.

Ye Xiu nodded again. "I'll go in first."

Xiao Ming held the lit cigarette between his fingers and stayed dazed for a full half a minute. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Guo. "The great god Ye Qiu gave me a cigarette and lit it for me?"

"Yes," Chen Guo said, feeling a little emotional. This Xiao Ming was just like she used to be, always thinking that the great god was high above, not eating the food of mortals. But now, he was just handing out a cigarette and lighting it, very ordinary actions, but he found it particularly unbelievable. But the difference was that Xiao Ming would definitely be excited by the great god's approachable actions, but what about her? She occasionally felt like her idol was crumbling.

"I... I... I..."

"Stop 'I'-ing, come in!" Chen Guo called. Ye Xiu wasn't hiding himself, so what was she worried about!

Pushing open the door and going in, a group of people were still playing the game. Xiao Ming followed behind Chen Guo, trembling with fear and being cautious. He looked around when he came in. There were really a lot of people in the room!

"Xiao Ming is here." Ye Xiu greeted.

Chen Guo then introduced him to everyone: "This is Xiao Ming, the one who played against us just now."

"Oh, oh," everyone responded.

Xiao Ming had to greet everyone too!

"Hello, everyone..." Xiao Ming wanted to find a title, but when he looked around the room, there were men, women, old, and young, so it was really difficult to find a unified title!

"Xiao Ming, sit down!" Ye Xiu said.

Xiao Ming hurriedly ran over and sat on the beanbag, placing his hands on his knees, being especially well-behaved.

Qiao Yifan got up, poured a glass of water for Xiao Ming, and placed it on the table. Xiao Ming saw that he was a child, but he didn't dare to neglect him and thanked him. Chen Guo then briefly introduced: "This is Qiao Yifan, formerly from the Tiny Herb team."

"Holy crap..." Xiao Ming picked up the water and was about to take a sip to calm himself down, but when he heard Chen Guo say this, his hand suddenly trembled, and the water spilled out. Fortunately, Qiao Yifan hadn't made the water too hot.

A player from the former championship team! Xiao Ming was shocked, but Qiao Yifan, he hadn't heard of this name before? While Xiao Ming was racking his brains, his gaze shifted, and he saw someone hiding behind the computer screen, wearing a headset, staring intently at the screen with a smile on his lips. This, this, looked so familiar! He had been a little flustered when he came in and hadn't seen this side. This person was...

Xiao Ming, whose brain was a little short-circuited, took a while to remember who this was. Once he remembered, he completely short-circuited.

Wasn't that Su Mucheng?!
