Chapter Twenty-Five Did You Hear Me Speak?

  "Does Master have any requirements on this side?"

  Ye Xiu was wearing his headphones while reading the message sent by Tian Seven.

  "The Undead Warrior's scabbard is what I need." Ye Xiu replied.

  "Decorated with what sword?" Tian Qi was surprised.

  "Right." Ye Xiu said.

  "Oh……if there's a need, we won't add anyone else, just the four of us will do!" Tian Qi was also very understanding. If they prioritized needs, adding someone new would take half a day to explain everything and there's no guarantee that person would be reliable. And if you set up a team leader to distribute tasks, it would scare off outsiders directly. Who knows whether you'll give them tasks or not? So it's better to just stick with the four familiar people."

  "Alright." Ye Xiu also agreed with this trouble-saving plan.

  Tian Qi and three others entered the instance in succession, chanting in unison: "Bring on a hidden BOSS!"

  "Are you addicted to hiding?" Ye Xiu laughed.

  Three people let out a sly "heh heh" sound, ever since they followed Ye Xiu, they had ideas about the hidden BOSS. If it didn't come out, that would directly be crushing, no pressure.

  "Let's go!" Ye Xiu said, and Jun Moxiao once again took the lead with his War Halberd, opening up a path as they advanced. Tian Seven followed closely behind, his movements smooth and practiced. The Skull Graveyard was shrouded in a fine misty rain, and ghostly green fires could be seen flickering in the distance. The sound effects were faint but eerie, with occasional bursts of mournful wailing that sent chills down one's spine.

  Not just a tingling scalp... it feels like there's wind blowing against my ears too?

  Ye Xiu's heart was strong and unyielding, certain that this wasn't a psychological effect but something real blowing in the wind. His hands didn't stop moving as his head subconsciously turned to the left rear, where he saw a pale face with two black eyes staring straight at him, not blinking at all. The cherry-red lips seemed like they were about to drip blood at any moment...

  "Slap!" Ye Xiu's left hand slapped directly onto the keyboard, finally stabilizing his character. This single move pressed down on at least seven or eight keys, causing Lord Grim to make mistake after mistake in the game. Fortunately, they were only fighting small monsters, and Tian Seven and the others quickly stepped in to save the situation, barely holding on. But yesterday, when they had been running instances together for so long, Ye Xiu hadn't made even half a mistake. How was it that today, just as they were starting, he seemed like an idiot, messing around? Had another fake expert appeared? But just now, they had already connected their voice chat, and the voice sounded exactly like Ye Xiu's!

  Ye Xiu quickly turned his head back, swiftly and steadily stabilizing the situation. Tian Seven and others let out a sigh of relief, then heard High Hands Brother say: "Boss's wife, you're not sleeping at midnight, putting on a face mask and running out to pretend to be a white-faced Superman?"

  "What?" Tian Qi was taken aback.

  "There is Bagua." Shallow life private.

  The three of them immediately kept quiet and perked up their ears to listen for monsters.

  "Can't sleep, I'll go downstairs and sit for a while." Chen Guo said after removing the face mask.

  "Tan Qi retreated, Shallow Life jumped off the top, and Mu Yun paid attention to the four directions." Ye Xiu commanded the battle.

  Chen Guo quietly watched Ye Xiu and his teammates fight monsters for a while before suddenly blurting out, "I think Ye Qiu shouldn't have retired."

  "Right." Ye Xiu said.

  "He's just too high-profile, so whenever something goes wrong with Jia Shi, he's always the first one to be pushed to the forefront," said Chen Guo.

  "Oh."

  "Jia Shi's matches I've been watching all along. I think Ye Qiu and Du Ming Hai, One Autumn Leaf, are not as strong as before, for many reasons." Chen Guo said.

  Ye Xiu fell silent.

  "Nowadays, the professional league is becoming more and more mature, with many strong players emerging. Players like Gun King, Sword Saint, Fist Emperor, and Magician are no weaker than Ye Qiu, and their account characters are just as powerful as One Autumn Leaf."

  "... " continued in silence.

  "Now it's not the era when Ye Qiu could dominate the scene alone, but people still hope that he can create brilliance with his own strength like in the past. This is simply because everyone has too high expectations of him." Chen Guo said.

  "Tan Qi, fall back a bit, you're pushing too far forward. Mu Yun and Shallow are holding off the enemy at the other station, I can hold this side down alone." Ye Xiu commanded while "papapa" operating away.

  "Ah!" Chen Guo suddenly flared up, jumped up and rushed over to grab Ye Xiu's neck, shaking him violently while roaring: "Did you hear me speaking? Did you hear me speaking?"

  The internet cafe's patrons were all shocked. The regular customers couldn't help but sneak a glance in this direction, wondering who was reckless enough to provoke our boss Chen, with such a loud roar, tonight someone is going to die without a burial place.

  Ye Xiu's headphones shook a few times before falling off, and the faint sound of Tian Seven's trembling voice came from inside: "I heard it, I heard it..."

  Ye Xiu maintained his composure and continued to operate with steady hands despite the disadvantageous situation, his spirit was excellent. In the game, Jun Mo Xiao continued his flawless performance, but Ye Xiu himself was already gasping for air and on the verge of being strangled to death.

  Ye Xiu's tongue was almost hanging out, Chen Guo finally let go of his hands, Ye Xiu coughed loudly, but his eyes were still fixed on the screen without moving, asking Chen Guo: "What did you say?" While quickly picking up the headset and shouting into the microphone: "Tian Qi retreat, retreat."

  He shouted and immediately threw away the earphone, quickly flying back to keyboard operation, busy to the point of not even having time to catch his breath. In the game, the four of them were fighting against the BOSS, originally one person short, and couldn't afford to lack Ye Xiu's control over Jun Mo Xiao.

  Chen Guo looked at this guy and really lost his temper, after all, he couldn't just go up and strangle him to death. Helpless, he sat back down and opened the game on the computer in front of him: "Take me with you for a while."

  Ye Xiu turned his head and took a glance: "That's a server!"

  "I am the boss," said Chen Guo.

  Ye Xiu was speechless, this rule was much more powerful than not being allowed to use servers and the like.

  "How am I supposed to take you out for fun?" Ye Xiu asked without turning his head, as he was in the midst of an intense battle with the BOSS.

  "I also have an account card for the 10th district." Chen Guo pulled out a card and waved it at Ye Xiu. As a result, Ye Xiu just went "oh" and still didn't turn his head. Chen Guo was furious, really wanting to strangle this guy to death and bury him in the backyard.

  "Then you go ahead with the game task," Ye Xiu said.

  "I'm not doing tasks anymore, take me to the next instance." Chen Guo was a bit sulky, she had already decided that whatever Ye Xiu said, she would do the opposite.

  "How can you enter a dungeon at level 1?" Ye Xiu said, "Green Forest is the lowest-level dungeon, requiring levels 5-10. Characters below level 5 can't enter."

  "Think of something," Chen Guo said.

  "Alright, let me think!" Ye Xiu hummed, his hands moving swiftly as he operated. Suddenly, Quick Shot snatched up the microphone: "Shallow Autumn is retreating to her original position, she's about to be surrounded! What's wrong with you guys? So many mistakes!"

  After throwing down the earpiece, he heard a series of finger bones being pinched behind his head. Chen Guo gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"

  "I've thought of it." Ye Xiu said hastily.

  "Ah?" Chen Guo was shocked, this was a fundamentally unsolvable system design, how did he manage to find a way?

  "Don't think about the task for now, just go kill some monsters first and get to level 5," Ye Xiu said.

  "I'll kill you first!!"

  Alright, the real Chapter 25 is here, I made a mistake with the chapter number last time, it's been fixed! But that shouldn't affect the vote request, right? Hmm, seeking clicks...
