"Why?" Chen Guo asked in reply.
"If you're going to play all-night, then you stay here, I'm going to the smoking area." Ye Xiu said.
"If you go to the smoking area then are you on duty or am I?" Chen Guo asked angrily.
"Oh, then do you want to switch seats? Didn't you not like the smell of smoke?" Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo's cheeks streamed with tears. Although she clearly understood that he was trying to take care of her, but what was this feeling of being ignored?
Ye Xiu already held a cigarette box in one hand hinting that it was time for Chen Guo to choose to either take over for Ye Xiu's shift or move elsewhere.
"Forget about it. I won't play. I'm going to sleep." Chen Guo angrily logged out of the game and got up to leave.
Ye Xiu turned around and followed Chen Guo with his eyes. He found by surprise that Chen Guo left her account card on the table and didn't take it. This wasn't being forgetful, but rather Chen Guo thinking the Deme-Cybercafé as her home. It was quite normal to randomly leave things in the home. A thought immediately popped up in Ye Xiu's mind and he hurriedly yelled: "Boss, you didn't take your card. Do you want me to help you level up?"
"Do whatever you want!" Chen Guo spoke without thinking the matter through.
Ye Xiu nodded his head. His hand, approaching a 300 APM speed, quickly lit a cigarette and then put it in his mouth. The Skeleton Warrior's killing continued, but Ye Xiu speaking didn't have any effect on his ability to light up a cigarette. Now, he continued to concentrate on the game, and in a bit, the Skeleton Warrior was killed off. Ye Xiu's Saber was already laying on the ground. He went over and picked it up. He gave up on the rest of the items. Seven Fields and the others also didn't push him. They split up the equipment and randomly put the other materials in their bags. While they did this, Seven Fields said: "Brother expert, we're going to keep the high-grade materials that you didn't want from the other few hidden BOSSes yesterday. Later, when the prices are high, we'll sell them. Right now the server just opened, so all of the swindlers are buying them from newbies at low prices. Later, when the prices are standard again, we'll sell them and then split the money with you."
"I've already taken my share. That stuff is yours." Ye Xiu said.
"More able people should earn more. Brother expert, you're too modest." Seven Fields said.
Ye Xiu laughed and didn't say anything else. The four continued to clear dungeons. Seven Fields asked: "Do we need another person?"
Ye Xiu understood his meaning. He had already gotten what he wanted. Having another person would make their efficiency a bit faster.
"Up to you! But today, I'm only training to 20. Afterwards, I need to help my friend level." Ye Xiu said.
"Okay okay, that's fine. Do you need our help?" Seven Fields said. Actually, they hadn't turned off their headphones when they heard Ye Xiu and Chen Guo talk. Seven Fields vaguely heard quite a bit.
"No need. You guys can do your own things." Ye Xiu said.
"Okay." Seven Fields and the others didn't say anymore. They had known Ye Xiu for a day. Although people established relationships quickly over the Internet, as adults, they all knew proper behavior.
After leaving the dungeon, Seven Fields began shouting in order to add a player. It was too easy to form parties in the new server. A string of requests came and in the end, Seven Fields picked a Level 17 female player.
The female player was called Immersed Jade. After joining the team, she became excited seeing the party list.
Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water, Stolord, weren't this the party that first cleared Spider Cave and the Spider Emperor? She would never have thought that she would be able to join such an expert team. After connecting to the voice system, she conveyed her excitement to everyone.
Because the voice system in Glory was popular, it put an end to fake gender players. When players moved about together, they would definitely directly used their voices to communicate. What type of female would only type and not talk? If they did, everyone would immediately have their doubts. Of course, if you were male but sounded like a female, this sort of gift couldn't be warded against.
While Seven Fields and the others heard the girl speak, they all accidentally caught up to in front of the girl and met. But Ye Xiu knew that they were trying to get a look at the girl's appearance.
Glory's character model had two kinds, a male and a female one. The details of appearance and build were done through an editor. A self-designed one worked too. A random generated one also worked. If you liked reality, then you could directly take a picture and put your own face into the editor. After providing basic body measurements, the editor could automatically create a character model that looked the same as the original player. As a result, all the male players wanted to know whether a female player's appearance was the same as the person herself. It is said that some experienced wolf-natured players could tell whether a female player was fake or real with just a single glance.
Seven Fields and the others didn't seem to possess this "wolf" attribute. After standing in a circle and observing Immersed Jade, they could only arrive at the conclusion "average". Whether her appearance was fake or real, they didn't know.
But Immersed Jade was awfully energetic and after worshipping the first clear team, she expressed her honor to join their team. Finishing, she once again was amazed that their expert first clear time was still Level 18. Finally, she requested to see if there she still had an opportunity to be a permanent member of their first clear team.
Seven Fields could only regretfully explain that their party still had another brother. He just couldn't come today.
Immersed Jade looked looked utterly lost, but she still didn't give up. Even if she couldn't become a main member, she started to apply to see if she could become a substitute member. Furthermore, she asked about what guild and organization they were from.
This question made it difficult for Seven Fields and the others to answer. It was obvious this stranger worshipped them as experts. They still hadn't entered the dungeon, Immersed Jade too. But after entering the dungeon and playing, experienced players would immediately recognize that the only expert in the party was Stolord. The rest weren't worth mentioning.
Immersed Jade's questions and expectations could only fall onto brother expert's head. Now she asked again what their guild was... Seven Fields and the others had a guild, but now they were under brother expert's godly halo. If they told her their guild's name wouldn't that be the same as slapping their face?
"Oh, let's hurry up and enter!" Seven Fields diverted the subject and took the lead. Sunset Clouds and the others followed closely. After entering the dungeon, naturally, Ye Xiu began directing. Right after he said something, Immersed Jade already asked in bafflement: "Hm, who's talking?"
When she first joined the party, she chattered non-stop with Seven Fields and the others. It was Ye Xiu's first time speaking.
"Stolord, our party's god. All of our first kills were because of him. If we didn't have him, our party wouldn't be worth mentioning." Seven Fields found the opportunity to tell her the truth. After speaking, he immediately relaxed.
"I pay respects to the great god!" Immersed Jade typed out a message and said aloud.
"Ha ha, let's go!" Ye Xiu laughed and began leading the group forward. Commanding, killing, not long after, his expert demeanor had already been revealed. But in front of his presence, Immersed Jade unexpectedly didn't show much excitement.
Seven Fields and the others could see that this girl was a true newb.
"This little sister's ruined." Sunset Clouds secretly said.
"Ugh, her starting point is too high now. She's still a newbie and she's already met such an extreme expert. Later, how is she going to mix in with normal players?" Seven Fields said.
"A tragedy!" Drifting Water sighed with sorrow.
Immersed Jade was undoubtedly a cute noob. Starting from when she first entered the dungeon, she kept silent, carefully listened to directions, and earnestly carried them out. Although she still made beginner mistakes, she always apologized for them. As a result, everyone also didn't feel too good pointing out her faults. When Immersed Jade made mistakes, Seven Fields and the others were even more nervous than her. They were afraid that brother expert would feel impatient because of this! A lot of experts didn't have much patience towards these inexperienced newbies.
But after clearing more than half the dungeon, Seven Fields and others finally relaxed. Although brother expert's skill level was so high, he wasn't that sort of arrogant expert. To newbies, he was actually even more patient than Seven Fields and the others. Regarding commands that Immersed Jade didn't understand, brother expert even went so far as to explain to her those special terms.
Though with this additional player, their pace slowed down. Seeing that brother expert didn't care, Seven Fields and the others didn't point it out. While they killed monsters, they helped teach the newbie and were actually all very happy.
Chatting with her, they found out that it was Immersed Jade's first time in a dungeon. Before, she only completed quests to level up. The only quests left were the ones that required her entering a dungeon. Only then did she mix in with the crowd outside the dungeon and in the end, joined such a famous party. Naturally, she was extremely pleased.
Under the expert's advice, after clearing the dungeon, they went in for another round. Immersed Jade had already transformed. Only she hadn't played Glory for very long, so she still hadn't graduated from her newbie status yet.
Finally, after countless dungeon clears, Stolord and the others reached Level 20, while Immersed Jade was still a little off at Level 19. Ye Xiu saw that they might as well go through the dungeon a few more times and bring Immersed Jade to Level 20 too.
During this time, they encountered two hidden BOSSes. Ye Xiu lead the party and killed them easily. But they hadn't seen any Purple Equipment today, only a few uncommon materials. Of course, Immersed Jade didn't know that these materials were actually the most valuable items in low-leveled dungeons and only drooled for those rare equipments. Only, under brother expert's watch, they felt a bit embarrassed, so they explained the value of these items to Immersed Jade. In the end, Immersed Jade really was too loveable. Telling them that she was only a newbie and that she wouldn't need the dropped materials, she chose to give up on them.
Seven Fields and the others immediately had their good impressions of this little sister multiply by a hundred. They told her that they would remember this favor. After selling the materials, they would split the money with her.
"Okay, then I'll be going off first." Exiting the dungeon, Ye Xiu said goodbye to the party.
"Brother expert, you're not going to pick a class?" At level 20, everyone would have to pick a class and then leave beginner village."
"Not now, you guys go first!"
"Then brother expert, let's keep in touch." Seven Fields said.
"Goodbye Great God!" Immersed Jade had already mixed in with everybody as if they had been together for half a lifetime. Moreover, after constantly hearing about Seven Fields and the other describing Stolord's might, she finally decided to call him great god.
Ye Xiu laughed and said goodbye to them. The four returned to beginner village to get their class quest. While Ye Xiu brought Stolord to Green Forest's dungeon, he turned around and put in Chen Guo's account card. He logged into the tenth server with this Level 5 Chasing Haze.
Correct, even though Glory couldn't open both games at once, it couldn't prevent players from playing two accounts on separate computers. This was Ye Xiu's plan. As long as there were two or more players in a party, then they could meet a hidden BOSS. Ye Xiu still needed a few materials from that Midnight Phantom Cat!
The hidden BOSS didn't appear on the first round. Without saying a word, he directly exited the dungeon. Both characters went into a critically ill status. In this status, their HP and MP would be almost completely depleted and all of their attributes would decrease by 80%. They were pretty much useless and needed 10 minutes to recover. But this method was still faster than going through the dungeon. Stolord already didn't gain experience from Green Forest. Originally, he was going to bring and level up Chasing Haze, but Chen Guo said he could do as he pleased, so Ye Xiu did as he pleased.
He got up, smoked a cigarette, drank some water, walked around, and when he returned, Stolord and Chasing Haze had already recovered. Entering the dungeon, the hidden BOSS didn't appear again, so Ye Xiu chose to exit the dungeon again.
At ten minutes a round, in one hour, he could enter six times. If he cleared the dungeon, then he would need 15-20 minutes each time, so he saved a significant amount of time. This method could only be done in beginner village though. After beginner village, real dungeons had a limit. One day five times, one day three times, or even one day one time, one week one time. Each dungeon had their own limits.
This time, Ye Xiu went to look at a guide in these ten minutes. He had forgotten quite a bit of beginner things. Always running in the dungeon and then looking at a guide also wasn't a good habit.
After ten minutes, he entered Green Forest but the hidden BOSS still didn't appear. Ye Xiu wasn't hurried and exited out again to look at a guide.
Four times, five times...
Ye Xiu looked as if he were going to waste the entire day doing this. When he entered the fifth time, the hidden BOSS still didn't appear. Finally, on the sixth time, the system announced the appearance of the Midnight Phantom Cat. Ye Xiu relaxed his breath and began fighting. In theory, after Chasing Haze entered, she was useless and would be thrown at the entrance not moving. But Ye Xiu thought that she might as well be brought along to leech some experience. As a result, he began moving both them. First, he brought Chasing Haze into a good spot and then Stolord killed monsters near her so that she would leech some experience. Switching characters left and right, he was awfully busy.
All of the guests that passed by the counter after using the restroom saw this and were all dumbstruck.
"Brother, you might as well just play on your own. Playing on two computers, isn't that a little too crazy?"
Ye Xiu turned around and laughed. But he didn't speak and kept on playing. As long as the Midnight Phantom Cat came out, he wouldn't care about the rest. The material Ye Xiu needed dropped 100% of the time, but luck determined the amount. In the end, Ye Xiu was lucky and obtained four Midnight Cat Fingernails. Adding in the two from the first clear, he already had six. Ye Xiu needed a total of eight, so one more run was enough.
After killing the Midnight Phantom Cat, Ye Xiu beautifully exited the dungeon again. He continued to use the ten minute per round method.
First round none. Second round none. On the third round, his luck failed again, but this time, a system message suddenly popped up. He opened it up and saw that the player Blue River wanted to be his friend. He didn't know whether to accept or not.
Blue River? Who was that? Ye Xiu looked around in Stolord's vicinity. He didn't see any name like that. Then he thought that maybe it was because he was a Level 20 standing outside Green Forest, so the player wanted to add a high-leveled friend to carry him. Ye Xiu clicked ignore. In the end, he discovered another request. He ignored it again. Another one, another ignore, another one...
He kept on ignoring the requests. In these ten minutes, this player called Blue River unexpectedly didn't give up and sent a total of 18 friend requests to Stolord.
Ignore wasn't a reject. A message that was ignored could be sent again. Ye Xiu was deeply moved by this player's persistence. As a result, he flipped open a message and clicked accept.
