“Fang Rui, welcome. Please come upstairs with me.”

Outside the Happy Internet Cafe, Chen Guo greeted the newcomer furtively, while cautiously looking back to check on the customers inside the cafe.

Fang Rui, worthy of being called a master of sneakiness, immediately understood. He nodded and followed Chen Guo nimbly. He was here to observe Happy, but he didn't want to be observed by others as soon as he arrived.

However, before going upstairs, Fang Rui couldn't help but look back at the opposite side of the road, a place that was completely different from what he remembered.

Fang Rui wasn't too unfamiliar with this street. He had come here for away games against Excellent Era.

But this time, Excellent Era was no longer here. Instead, a new team had risen from an Internet cafe diagonally across from them, and it might even be his new home. This made Fang Rui feel a sense of profound change.

On the second floor of the Internet cafe, Fang Rui followed Chen Guo, passing through one separated small room after another. There was a technical research department, an online game guild department...

Compared to the Wind Howl Club, Happy was pitifully small. Chen Guo, walking in front, felt uneasy. She didn't know what this pro player would think of Happy's simplicity, and she hoped that he wouldn't judge Happy's strength as equally simple because of it.

In just a few steps, they arrived at the training room. Chen Guo stepped aside, gesturing for Fang Rui to enter first, while also paying attention to Fang Rui's expression, not finding anything on his face.

Fang Rui entered the training room, and then he saw familiar faces like Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, as well as other unfamiliar Happy rookie players, who were quickly introduced one by one.

"So many beauties."

Then Fang Rui gave his first impression after visiting the Happy team.

"Really…" Chen Guo swallowed the word "perverted" back down. Although Fang Rui's comment only mentioned beauties, it was indeed perverted enough. But this guy didn't just stare at the beauties. Comments were comments, but he still came to do serious things.

"The Sea Conqueror account, want to try it out?" Ye Xiu was direct, already holding the Sea Conqueror account card.

"Too fast!" To be honest, changing classes was a big deal. Although Fang Rui had come, he was still hesitating fiercely in his heart.

"What else can we do? You've already finished touring Happy." Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo's face flushed slightly. Happy was really small; the tour was completely finished in 1 minute.

As a result, Fang Rui was caught off guard by the speed of the tour; the pace was too fast.

"Don't be polite, hurry up. Actually, we also need to examine whether your Qi Master level has any future! If not, you should go back to playing your Thief!" Ye Xiu said.

These words were too direct, meaning that whether Fang Rui could join Happy was not just his unilateral decision, but also depended on whether he could play the Qi Master skillfully. Chen Guo immediately became nervous. His Thief skills were already top-notch, and changing classes was completely unnecessary. But now, with this attitude, wouldn't he just slam the door and leave?

"Damn!" Facts proved that Fang Rui didn't seem to have such a big temper. After just cursing, he took the Sea Conqueror account card from Ye Xiu.

Swipe the card, log in.

"We'll also let you experience Happy's strength by the way!" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?" Fang Rui did have this intention, looking at the Happy rookies with great interest, wondering who his first opponent would be. As a result, he saw Ye Xiu sitting opposite him.

"What?" Fang Rui asked.

"Rookie Ye Xiu will learn from Fang Rui-dada's Qi Master." Ye Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Get lost!" Fang Rui almost flipped the table.

"A Scattered Class, don't you want to see it closely?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Uh... then let's play a round!" Fang Rui thought about it and agreed.

The two entered the game, the arena. Sea Conqueror suddenly went online, naturally attracting a lot of onlookers, but the arena room was password-protected, so even if people saw where he went, they couldn't enter the room.

The Happy members certainly wanted to watch the battle, rushing in one after another, each striking a pose, ready to enjoy it, but it was already over.

"Hmm, not bad." Fang Rui said with a calm expression.

"Being able to last 1 minute and 38 seconds is indeed pretty good." Ye Xiu was also calm.

"I haven't touched a Qi Master in over five years." Fang Rui said.

"Lying, haven't you played it even once in private? So heartless?" Ye Xiu said.

Fang Rui was speechless for a moment. It was impossible to say that he had never played it even once. Not just Fang Rui, but any of these players would occasionally play other classes as entertainment and relaxation. Sometimes, to study a certain class's tactics, they might even play it more often.

"Want another chance?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Can I change opponents?" Fang Rui asked.

"Alright!" Ye Xiu stood up and left, Su Mucheng sat down, and Fang Rui almost cursed.

Then came a battle against Dancing Rain, which also ended within 2 minutes, with Fang Rui losing.

Pro players playing other characters were certainly more powerful than ordinary players, but that relied on their superior operations and awareness. When facing a professional player with the same operations and awareness, the unfamiliarity with a non-main class immediately became apparent. In front of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, Fang Rui had no chance of winning. He himself was clearly aware of this, so he didn't feel that losing was a big deal, but he just felt that Ye Xiu's continuous arrangement of strong opponents he couldn't defeat was too shameless.

Fortunately, Su Mucheng also stepped down after this round, and then Tang Rou sat down. Fang Rui was energetic, ready to teach the rookies a good lesson and let them know the terror of top professional players. As a result, this round ended in 1 minute and 20 seconds, even faster than the one he lost to Ye Xiu.

The speed of the end of a battle was very related to the player's tactics and style, so judging strength based on the length of time was relatively one-sided. Tang Rou was certainly not stronger than Ye Xiu yet, but her direct and unrestrained style made Fang Rui even more flustered, and he subconsciously used Thief operations. Only after it was over did he realize that he was using a Qi Master...

"Cough, beauty is so powerful..." Fang Rui's loss this time was a bit unnatural. After all, he was a top pro player, and although he used a Qi Master, he felt that he could barely fight a rookie. As a result, he was defeated so decisively. The rookies of Happy were much more terrifying than he had imagined.

Then, Qiao Yifan came up. Ghostblade wasn't strong in one-on-one fights, and coupled with Qiao Yifan's cautious personality, this round wasn't as fast as the previous three rounds. Under the slower pace, Fang Rui's Qi Master finally showed some skill, but after a few minutes, this round still ended in his defeat.

"Uh..." Losing to a class that wasn't strong in single combat made Fang Rui even more embarrassed.

Then, Baozi went into battle, and after a chaotic fight, Fang Rui lost again in a muddled way.

Fang Rui tried to say something to liven up the atmosphere. He joked with the new person who sat down, but this person was expressionless, sat down in his seat without any reaction, and started fighting.

Mo Fan went on stage, operating silently, and silently killed Fang Rui's Qi Master.

"..." Fang Rui was completely unable to say anything. At this time, the person sitting opposite him took the initiative to talk to him.

"Can you win a round?" Wei Chen asked after sitting down.

Fang Rui was depressed. If it were a Thief, he would have the confidence to fight any of these people, but holding a Qi Master, he felt really restricted. After years of adapting to the awareness and operating habits of a Thief, how could he switch freely so easily? He wasn't Ye Xiu, a textbook.

In the new round, facing a Warlock with a abnormal casting range, Fang Rui was slowly ground to death. What was his identity? A top Glory player. How long had it been since he had been toyed with like this? This loss made Fang Rui feel like throwing up.

Looking at Happy's side, everyone was energetic and interested. Were they using him to grind experience? Especially that glasses guy over there, what was going on? You seemed to be a Priest, right? Did even you want to come and bully me?

Fang Rui was angry. Dirty play was known as a style that abandoned dignity, but now this dirty play master couldn't save face.

"Who's next?" Fang Rui said in a deep voice.

Opposite him, Luo Ji raised his hand timidly and sat down, looking at his teammates with some unease.

"What are you afraid of? It's easy to beat. Hurry up!" Baozi cheered for his little brother Luo Ji.

Easy to beat!

Fang Rui glared at Baozi fiercely. This guy, that round he won was just a fluke. Another fight was hard to say, but he was so arrogant. Rookies were really too ignorant.

Fang Rui thought, venting all his anger in this round. Poor Luo Ji, he was originally the weakest player in the Happy team. Among players, he was a good expert, but to say he was at the professional level, there was a clear gap. Facing Fang Rui's Qi Master, he was obviously unable to parry.

"Oh, this time there's a chance! This opponent is so weak!" Fang Rui thought happily. But when he turned his head, he cried. What was going on? Had he been reduced to needing to rely on the weakness of his opponent to win? Disgraceful, shameful!

Cleanly and neatly, Fang Rui solved Luo Ji, finally taking his first victory since arriving at Happy.

"Who else!" Fang Rui urgently needed to prove himself.

Ye Xiu thought for a while and said, "Do you want to call Aning up to try?"

"Who is it?" Fang Rui stood in awe, feeling that Happy seemed to be bringing out a reclusive expert as the finale.

"The Internet cafe cashier, Aning also plays Glory?" Chen Guo said.

"Seems like she's playing." Ye Xiu said.

"I'll fight you! Just you, come, come, come, let's battle three hundred rounds!" Fang Rui shouted.

Thus, Ye Xiu sat up again this time. Fang Rui spent his first day at Happy in a frenzy of battles, using the Qi Master class he hadn't touched for many years, struggling to seek a breakthrough, but being abused again and again by Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.
