The majority of Happy Internet Cafe’s customers left. This match wasn’t as good as the last’s. Last time, even though they only obtained three points, the 1v3 in the Group Arena made everyone extremely excited and hopeful. But this time, everyone could only silently watch as their chances at victory were destroyed by mistakes that shouldn’t have happened. The majority of the customers were no longer in the mood to play games and all left.
The Internet Cafe turned quieted down a lot. Chen Guo instructed the employees to clean up and was also gloomy. Tang Rou wasn’t affected by the loss. She didn’t care who won or lost. She only saw that Chen Guo wasn’t happy, so she accompanied her. The two beauties whispered in each other’s ears. Once the Internet Cafe was cleaned up, Chen Guo’s mood turned better. After showing her concern for the two all-nighters, she went back to her room to sleep.
“When are we going to break another record?” Tang Rou asked Ye Xiu. To Tang Rou, setting these types of records made her extremely happy. She liked this type of challenge.
“Tonight!” Ye Xiu said.
“Tonight? What dungeon?” Tang Rou was puzzled.
“Boneyard!” Ye Xiu said.
“Boneyard, that dungeon…….. Didn’t you say we were close enough?” Tang Rou didn’t understand.
“Yesterday was close enough. But who knows about today?” Ye Xiu laughed.
At this moment, it was already 11 o’clock. After the other employees finished cleaning up, they all went back home. More than half of the customers, the ones who weren’t going to stay up all-night, also left. In the Internet Cafe, besides the tapping of keyboards and clicking of mice, were the voices of players playing Glory. There were laughs and there were curses. Suddenly, someone yelled out in surprise: “D*mn, the dungeon record was broken again! Who the h*ll are playing in the tenth server!!!”
After hearing this, Tang Rou was stunned. She looked at Ye Xiu. This cry also alarmed quite a few players in the Internet Cafe. Several tenth server players began discussing it with their in-game friends or with other players in the Internet Cafe. Tang Rou around to investigate and then went back to report to Ye Xiu: “It’s the Boneyard record. It’s that Excellent Dynasty again.”
“Oh? How much faster?”
“16:56:78.” Tang Rou was quite sensitive towards records. After seeing it, she remembered it.
“Oh, not bad!” Ye Xiu said.
“What now?” Tang Rou asked.
“We’re going to set it again tonight.” Ye Xiu said.
“But, 20 seconds…… what are we going to do?” Tang Rou only knew that their record only had Steamed Bun Invasion’s mistake. But even if that mistake wasn’t there, the record would have only been faster by three or four seconds. Right now, the records was 20 seconds faster. Tang Rou didn’t know where they could improve on.
“Don’t worry about it!” Ye Xiu seemed as if he knew what to do.
Tang Rou was about to ask again when suddenly, a figure appeared outside the Internet Cafe. The figure’s hands were in his or her pockets and the person wore a hoody. The figure looked as if he or she were scrunched up in a ball. The mysterious figure looked stealthily left and right towards the Internet Cafe and looked like one of those people who was about to commit a crime. Tang Rou immediately stopped herself from speaking, gesturing at Ye Xiu to look at the suspicious figure. In the end, when her gaze shifted over, that person saw her, turned around and then immediately ran off.
“Who was that?” Tang Rou was quite brave. She went out the door and looked. She saw the figure running in the distance still with his or her head facing towards her. When the figure saw Tang Rou rush out, the figure immediately turned around and ran off.
“Cough, what was that?” Ye Xiu asked.
“That guy was weird.” Tang Rou said.
“Did the guy run?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, let’s just ignore him. You go log-in to the game and call for Steamed Bun.”
“Okay.” Tang Rou replied. She then went to her usual all-nighter spot.
Ye Xiu continued to keep watch at the reception desk. He didn’t enter the game and appeared to be waiting for something. After quite a long while, that suspicious figure paced back and forth outside of the Internet Cafe entrance again until the figure saw Ye Xiu at the reception desk. After Ye Xiu nodded his head, the figure let out a sigh and then entered. The figure was still extremely alert and kept his or her head hidden deep in his or her coat. Stealthily looking around, the figure carefully walked towards the reception desk.
“Are you by yourself?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Do you think I’d pull along the entire team?” The person said.
“Sneaking around here and there, you look like a thief.” Ye Xiu said.
“How can I not be careful. This is an Internet Cafe. It’s so dangerous. I’m not like you. I have a lot of fans. I was almost recognized just now. Luckily, I ran away pretty quickly.” The person said.
“Come on. That girl is from the Internet Cafe. She thought you were a thief. Even if you came here normally, she still wouldn’t recognize you.” Ye Xiu said.
“Really?” The person doubted him.
“Would you like me to call her over?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine! Lay low! Lay low!” The person said.
“Area A Number 1. There’s no one in that area. You should go sit over there!” Ye Xiu said.
“And you?” The person asked.
“I have to keep watch here! I’m on the night shift!” Ye Xiu said.
“Why do you have to be so hard on yourself? It’s not like your skill dropped after retiring, no? Oh and speaking of that, why’d you suddenly retire?” The asked.
“First help me set this record and then we’ll chat.” Ye Xiu said.
“F*ck, I get a couple hundred thousand for every match. And now I’m helping people set a record for Boneyard. Don’t tell anyone! If you tell, I’ll kill you.” The person grumbled.
“Area A Number 1. It’s over there.” Ye Xiu gave him the directions.
“Can I have something to eat? I haven’t eaten all night.” The person said.
