Chapter 290 - Persistence Will Pay Off (1/2)

It wasn’t as if Ye Xiu didn’t feel anything. Going through an entire day without rest, while playing relatively focused, made him feel somewhat tired long ago. But he persisted the entire time.

His persistence would eventually pay off with more rewards.

The experience gained from the Christmas thieves, as well as from opening the presents, allowed Lord Grim, Soft Mist and Cleansing Mist to rise to Level 35. The guild members also reaped the rewards and leveled up as well.

The most important part about this efficiency was that it was stable, which made the twelve guilds who were involved extremely satisfied. Right now, their biggest concern was the same as Chen Yehui. It was the issue of when Lord Grim was going to sleep.

Lord Grim, their super MT, was someone that no one could replace. During the night, he climbed the tower twice an hour on average and had yet to make a mistake. Such steady and solid playing made everyone gawk in awe.

There were many players in the twelve guilds that could jump up the clock tower. But being able to successfully jump up once after trying a hundred tries was also counted as being able to jump up the clock tower. As for Lord Grim? It seemed like he could jump up a hundred times and succeed a hundred times. That couldn’t be compared to those players who “could jump up the tower”.

Without Lord Grim, they had no way of conducting this sort of tactic, but staying up for 36 hours wasn’t an easy task.

Even though the guilds were worried, no one went up and asked him, in case Lord Grim was so absorbed into it that he forgot about sleep. They were afraid that, if they reminded him of it, he would immediately remember and hurry to sleep.

Everyone harbored this type of uneasiness in their hearts. Every time a wave of Christmas thieves were killed, they all worried about receiving a message from Lord Grim that he was going to stop.

“If you’re sleepy, go rest.” Within the game, Ye Xiu said this to Su Mucheng. He was the only one who was needed for the strategy. Su Mucheng and Tang Rou were really just there to leech experience.

“I’m not sleepy.” Su Mucheng replied.

“Aren’t you sick?”

“Yep! Insomnia!”

Ye Xiu laughed, but didn’t say anything more. He turned his head to look at Tang Rou. This sister looked like she was about to doze off. Before Ye Xiu had come to Happy Internet Cafe, Tang Rou was someone like Chen Guo who had a strict work and rest schedule.

Chen Guo, who was in between the two of them, noticed Ye Xiu’s gaze and turned her head. Tang Rou, who had only just recently said that she was fine, already had heavy eyelids. It was hard to even tell if she could see the screen clearly anymore.

“If you’re sleepy, then go rest. It’ll only be a few hours.” Chen Guo said to Tang Rou.

“I’m not sleepy.” Tang Rou put in great effort to widen her eyes.

“What do you mean not sleepy! Go. Take a nap and I’ll wake you up in a bit. If you don’t, you’re going to fall asleep eventually. The event will keep going until 12 midnight! Can you……. sleep for an hour and then, when you’re good again, you can continue until the end.” Chen Guo still hoped that they’d be able to balance out gaming and rest. She had originally wanted to say “Can you hang on until 12 without sleeping?”, but then quickly changed her words. It wasn’t a good idea to say this type of challenge to Tang Rou. If she did, then her compet.i.tiveness might just carry her through.

This time, Tang Rou really did look like she was sleepy. She had woken up even earlier than Ye Xiu did yesterday and had stayed awake longer than Ye Xiu.

“Then.. I’ll be going to sleep for a bit!” After hearing Chen Guo’s urge, Tang Rou finally gave in and went to log out of the game.

“You don’t need to log out.” Ye Xiu suddenly said.

Tang Rou stared blankly. Chen Guo immediately understood. She had been sitting between them for the entire day, so she obviously knew how they were killing the Christmas thieves. It was true, Tang Rou’s character didn’t need to log out. She could just stand there, under the clock tower, and leech experience.

“Yeah, yeah. You don’t need to log out. There’s no point in wasting the experience.” Chen Guo said.

Tang Rou nodded her head: “Then, you can have my share of the presents.” This was directed at Ye Xiu.

“Okay.”

Tang Rou left shortly after. Chen Guo turned her head to ask Ye Xiu: “And you?”

“Can I take a day off?” Ye Xiu said.

“For what?”
