Chapter 0002, Area C, No. 47

Ye Qiu nodded

But he soon realized that this was not the case. Su Mucheng was always so gentle and calm, even during intense PK confrontations, she could maintain a smile. Speaking of which, Ye Qiu sometimes felt a strange chill when he watched her smile as she obliterated someone with a single shot, then politely apologized.

Haha, thank you very much! With me in Jia Shi, it is time for a turnaround

Who knows why the heavens did not grant him this opportunity, but it just happened to start snowing at this moment, and the snow was getting heavier. The swirling snowflakes quickly soaked his shoulders, and icicles formed in his hair; it was impossible not to seek shelter.

Snowflakes are drifting down from the sky, this winter is very cold

When Ye Qiu left the club, he had not yet thought through his next steps. After living this way for so many years, the sudden need for change left him feeling somewhat unaccustomed. He simply wanted to walk like this for a while, to keep walking until he figured things out for himself

Perhaps it is related to his family, the manager said

Machine No. 47 in Area C," the young lady at the bar announced the location of the machine, then handed back the operator's ID card. When she looked up, the person had already disappeared. The young lady did not seem surprised; clearly, such occurrences were not uncommon. She quietly put away the ID card, knowing that the person who was missing would naturally come looking for it.

hetushu.com "Why?"

Indeed, he is sensible, not thinking of relying on the club for a comfortable retirement

This person has so many stories! Sun Xiang held tightly the One Autumn account card that Ye Qiu had given him. He also knew that One Autumn was an entertainment account used by Ye Qiu in online games long before the professional league was formed, and it has been in use ever since, making it one of the oldest accounts in the Glory community

"Please sit here!" The woman said before she had already left

"Are you saying that a lot of his wealth has been used to support those friends of his?" Sun Xiang's eyes widened in surprise

In Area C, Machine No. 47, Ye Qiu followed the queue to find it. This internet café is quite large, with a considerable number of machines, and it even has a second floor. ... Area C ... . ... Ye Qiu noticed the area number sign hanging from the ceiling, so he didn't need to go up to the second floor.

No... it can't be true? Sun Xiang was astonished. Ye Qiu had been a professional player in the league for seven years, and he was among the very best. Even if he refused all kinds of commercial activities, his salary alone should be sufficient to cover the penalty for terminating a one-and-a-half-year contract.

Not bad

Su Mucheng stood at the entrance of the club, watching Ye Qiu walk away until he disappeared. He kept turning back to wave at her and show her a picture book, while Su Mucheng was already in tears.

Then why, since he also needs money, is he unwilling to accept commercial activities? Sun Xiang asked

Oh?

After shaking his head at the lack of composure displayed by such ordinary players, Ye Qiu finally took his seat

He is a great expert. Chen Guo nodded and reached a conclusion

When he counted to machine number 47, Ye Qiu was taken aback, as there was clearly a woman already seated in that position. Moreover, she was playing Glory, engaged in a one-on-one duel in the arena, her intense maneuvers causing her high ponytail to sway back and forth.

"Because he cannot afford the penalty for breach of contract," the manager said

This card number 1 can be reported lost if it is misplaced, making account theft virtually extinct. However, in places like internet cafes, there are often careless individuals who forget to log out or falsely log out of games, resulting in subsequent users easily taking advantage of the situation to steal money and equipment. Chen Guo had just lost 52 consecutive games and was quite agitated; in a moment of distraction, he did not exit the game but merely switched back to the computer desktop.

He had no choice but to accept, the manager said

Do you have any guesses? Sun Xiang asked

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. The boss has something to attend to today and cannot come, but he specifically entrusted me with this bottle of red wine that he has cherished for many years, specially to welcome you," the manager said

There were not many words exchanged, and I only said eight characters to Tu Shu Ye Qiu: "Rest for a year, then come back"

Gazing at her profile, seeing her character as a gunner in the game, Ye Qiu felt a bit dazed, almost mistaking her for Su Mucheng sitting in that position

You did not come from that era; you have not experienced it. In the early days of the league, professional players were not as glamorous as they are now; everyone was barely making ends meet, and the vast majority were part-time. Those who were eliminated in that era had a very hard time; they spent their prime youth on gaming, without any skills to fall back on, leading to a life of financial struggle afterward. Ye Qiu was a genius of that era, having made it to today through his skills, but he had many friends like that.

... ...

The murderous intent was terrifying, but unfortunately... Ye Qiu clearly saw the screen and realized that this woman was about to be in serious trouble. Sure enough, a flaw she had just revealed was seized by her opponent, and a series of combos quickly drained her already dwindling health to zero.

"Boss, you haven't logged out of the game? How come that person is playing it?" Chen Guo was lost in thought while walking when suddenly a voice came from beside her. She turned her head to see a regular customer at the internet café leaning over to look at the machine she had just occupied.

Ye Qiu and Su Mu Cheng left, and the people remaining in the conference room at hetushu.com seemed to suddenly come to their senses, resuming their gossip and discussions. However, Sun Xiang's expression was fluctuating between dark and light; he did not participate but instead leaned closer to the manager, saying, "I don't understand how he could accept these terms"

It is snowing

Ye Qiu looked around and saw an internet café by the roadside, still brightly lit in the deep of night. He immediately dashed towards the café

Chen Guo was feeling very frustrated. She had just engaged in a one-on-one match in the Glory Arena, playing 52 games, and shockingly, she did not win a single one. She could hardly believe that this was true

... ...

What are you pulling for!

The internet café was very warm. Ye Qiu, who rushed in, shook off the snowflakes from his body and started a machine at the front desk

Ye Qiu has left

Su Mucheng did not say a word, merely nodding heavily. She was no longer the naive little girl of years past; she now had the courage to bear many things on her own

"No one knows the reason for this," the manager said

Retiring him is also for his own good; what else can he do?

Her account is quite impressive, and as Chen Guo touched the "Zhu Yan Xia" in her pocket, it could be said that among ordinary players, her account is relatively strong. Moreover, Chen Guo's skill is not to be underestimated; she has been playing Glory for a full five years. Just now, her opponent from m.hetushu.com had an account that was not as good as hers, yet she lost all 52 rounds without winning a single one.

Damn! Ye Qiu heard the woman shout angrily, and with a wave of her hand, she struck the keyboard, directly closing the game.

Chen Guo rushed forward and indeed saw that guy manipulating her account. However, it seemed he was not scanning for equipment, but rather enjoying a fierce battle in the arena. Before Chen Guo could shout, two large characters had already popped up on the screen: "Glory"

No one has ever known about his family, and he never speaks of it, which is quite strange; therefore, I have this suspicion, the manager said

As for the young lady before me, her appearance is equally beautiful, pure, and gentle, but the fierce intensity with which she grits her teeth and assaults the keyboard and mouse makes her looks seem like a complete deception.

Not good! Chen Guo was startled and hurried back. The explosive popularity of Glory has made the Glory account login tool a standard accessory for computers, especially indispensable in internet cafes. Since the account card only needs to be inserted when logging into the game, in public places like internet cafes, people generally insert the card to log in and then put the card away.

Ye Qiu was hesitating whether to keep his position. The woman had already turned her head and caught sight of the indecisive Ye Qiu. She stood up angrily and asked, "Are you getting on the machine?"
