Chapter 291 - Crazy Rewards (1/2)
Midnight. The system announced that the Christmas event was over. From this point onwards, Christmas thieves would no longer resp.a.w.n. The Christmas thieves that were still alive would no longer drop any lost presents or count for any points after they were killed. As for presents that had already been dropped, they weren’t affected if they were picked up after midnight. They could still be exchanged for rewards since the exchange for rewards continued for the entire day.
The twelve guilds that had allied together with Ye Xiu were, without a doubt, the winners of this year’s Christmas event. The crowd underneath the clock tower in Sin City erupted in a cheer. Their cries of joy resounded throughout the air. But on top of the clock tower, Lord Grim simply stood there without any signs of movement.
The monster hunting had been completed and Lord Grim could finally come down. Tang Rou turned her head to look and discovered that Ye Xiu had already fallen asleep at his table.
Tang Rou and Chen Guo looked at each other. He had looked perfectly fine a few minutes ago! But in an instant, he dropped dead asleep.
“Hey, hey! You couldn’t hang on for a few minutes longer?” Chen Guo heartlessly shoved Ye Xiu awake.
“What?” Ye Xiu murmured, “Isn’t it over?”
“You haven’t picked up the presents yet!” Tang Rou said.
“You guys go ahead!” Ye Xiu said and then turned his body. He s.h.i.+fted positions and looked as if he was going to continue sleeping.
“Get up. Go back to your room and sleep.” Chen Guo lifted Ye Xiu up.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’m going.” Ye Xiu stood up and left his seat swaying.
Chen Guo watched and was also surprised. Staying up for 36 hours without sleeping wasn’t anything too serious for an adult. But looking at Ye Xiu’s att.i.tude, he looked as if he would fall over at any moment.
Chen Guo thought again. During those 36 hours, Ye Xiu had been doing what others couldn’t do. In order for him to maintain his performance, Ye Xiu had to be focused the entire time. The exhaustion of his mind was something that players like them, who were simply running around and hoping for luck, could not feel.
“Hey!” Seeing Ye Xiu sway again, Chen Guo hastily got up and ran over to help him. But suddenly Ye Xiu steadied himself and shook his head, muttering to himself in astonishment: “I can even sleep while walking. I’m becoming better and better…….”
Chen Guo was speechless. She finally caught up: “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m going to go to sleep first. Help me log out!” Ye Xiu said.
“I’ll help you turn the presents in! What would happen if you accidentally slept for 24 hours?” Chen Guo happily said.
“Go ahead, go ahead!” Ye Xiu laughed. He then walked over to the stairs. Chen Guo was a bit afraid that he’d tumble down if he climbed up the stairs, but when she looked again, she saw that Ye Xiu’s footsteps were steady. His swaying from before might really have been because he hadn’t been awake and was sleepwalking.
When she got back to her seat, Chen Guo saw Lord Grim’s camera. Lord Grim was at the top of the clock tower with a bird’s eye view of the entire city. The other players were gathered underneath like a bunch of ants. The lightning that arced down made it seem like they could be picked off at any time.
Chen Guo controlled Lord Grim on the clock tower and looked around to the left and the right, feeling a bit reluctant to leave. She had never been here before!
This continued until Tang Rou gave her a look of doubt, making Chen Guo feel a bit embarra.s.sed. She coughed lightly and asked: “Are there still any presents left to pick up?”
“There are! You should help him pick them up!” Tang Rou said.
“Okay.” Chen Guo nodded her head. She opened up Lord Grim’s equipment and looked. His Thousand Chance Umbrella happened to be stopped in Gun form. Chen Guo looked at the attributes and was unbelievably astonished. Thinking about how she was actually using a Silver weapon, Chen Guo could not calm down.
