Chapter 124 - The Crudest Style (1/2)

Over in the corner, Huang Shaotian closed his computer. He once again scrunched back into a ball, hiding himself. He evilly snuck out from the darkness. Ye Xiu, who was at the reception desk, had been watching him the entire time and had no choice but to watch as the guy carefully prodded over.

“Why did you retire? Why did you retire?” Huang Shaotian was still asking him.

“If I didn’t retire, you think I’d want to stay in the team to be a training partner?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Training partner? Excellent Era really wanted to drive you out!” Huang Shaotian said, “But isn’t directly retiring too impulsive? You should have tried looking for somewhere to transfer to! Even if Excellent Era absolutely refused to let you go, that doesn’t mean that there was zero chance for you to transfer. There might have been a team that would pay a high enough price for Excellent Era to let you go. At the very least, you should have waited until you saw that there was absolutely nowhere to transfer before retiring!”

“If I transferred……. then what about Mucheng?” Ye Xiu said.

Huang Shaotian stared blankly.

They were both G.o.d-level players in the pro-scene, how could he not understand this? For popular players like Su Mucheng, some Club owners wouldn’t let her go even if they had to trade off the rest of the team. She was simply a money tree, a money-sucking machine to the owner. Her financial value was far greater than her skill value. Even for Huang Shaotian, even he wasn’t guaranteed that he wouldn’t be transferred to another Club. But for Su Mucheng, most owners would even sacrifice their team standings to keep her.

“If I transferred, then Mucheng would definitely terminate her contract.” Ye Xiu said.

“So it’s like this…… then what about terminating your contract? Hmm…… if you terminated your contract like that, then they wouldn’t let you join another team for at least half a year, but it’d at least be better than you retiring for a minimum one year. But if you did retire, then there’d be no way for you to return to Excellent Era. It’d be the same as you transferring. If you retired for a year, then at the very least you wouldn’t need to pay contract termination fees or maybe you could even buy out the contract right? After a year……. how long does Mucheng’s contract last until?” Huang Shaotian talked to himself a bunch.

“One and a half years.” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh…… so then, you’re planning on coming back after a year and a half? A year and a half! You’re too crazy, aren’t you?” Huang Shaotian expressed his astonishment. ESport pro-players had a short career. It was extremely rare for someone 25 years old to be able to play at this level of skill. To still dare to retire for a year and half, that was simply going against the heavens.

“Ha ha, just wait until I come back and destroy you!” Ye Xiu said.

“F*ck, you’re too arrogant, aren’t you?” Huang Shaotian yelled.

“What’s the current record for our duels again?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Ha…… tonight’s weather is pretty good!” Huang Shaotian gaze s.h.i.+fted to the pitch black night outside of the Internet Cafe.

After standing there staring outside for awhile, Huang Shaotian’s gaze returned back. His expression turned serious: “You have to come back.”

“Who need you say that.” Ye Xiu said.

“If you have any difficulties, contact me.” Huang Shaotian said earnestly.

“Give me back my Vampiric Lightsaber and the fee for two hours of Internet.” Ye Xiu said.

“…….” He finally stopped talking for once.

“I’ll give you the Vampiric Lightsaber later!” Huang Shaotian slapped down ten bucks onto the reception desk. He turned around and faded into the night.

“Flowing Tree went off?” Ye Xiu returned to the game and received a message from Tang Rou.

“Yeah.”

“Dungeon?” Tang Rou asked.

Ye Xiu laughed. He immediately gathered everyone and ran to the dungeon.

The record 16:24:67 on the record leaderboards, made Blue River speechless for a long time. Still staring at it, he suddenly received a message. He opened it and saw that it was Lord Grim: “How many keyboards did you eat?”

Blue River’s cheeks streamed with tears. The record, which he swore he’d eat his keyboard if it was broken, was currently number three on the Boneyard record leaderboards. If he did as he had promised, then he’d have to at least eaten a few keyboards.

“Brother, please don’t joke with me.” Blue River said gloomily.

“Ha ha, there shouldn’t be any problem with the record this time.” Ye Xiu said.

“Okay, okay.” Blue River replied, but didn’t say too much. Ye Xiu also understood. The record had been broken again and again. The experts in the game, the ones who could be considered as having good judgement, were all at a loss. Blue River still had to pay attention to this. However, the current record really was at the peak. Unless a guild was willing to pay the effort to gather a party with full Orange equipment and also look for experts to subst.i.tute in. For the new server, the possibility of that was zero.

The player who even more shocked by this record was naturally Cold Night. Originally, he had celebrated when Lord Grim’s record was broken again by Excellent Dynasty. He felt that the Excellent Dynasty experts that subst.i.tuted in were even more amazing and felt that Lord Grim wouldn’t be able to handle it this time. Who knew that not long after, Lord Grim set the record back again.

Soft Mist, Steamed Bun Invasion, Cleansing Mist, these were all players Cold Night knew.

But what about last time’s Hateful Sword?

And who was that Flowing Tree from this time?
