Chapter Fifty Again

  "Hey, you've gone too far!" Chen Guo was a bit angry, although she did want to find someone to stimulate Tang Rou a bit, but didn't expect Ye Xiu to make Tang Rou look so bad, was it necessary to go that far?

  "Oh, sorry about that," Ye Xiu said. "It's a bit of an exaggeration. A hundred years and all that, it's just a figure of speech, not something that really needs to take that long."

  Having heard the first half of the sentence, Chen Guo was still wondering if this guy was really admitting his mistake. After hearing the rest, he got so angry that his nose almost crooked.

  "You can't say something nice for once." Chen Guo said as she glanced at Tang Rou, thinking to herself that she was really miserable. She had always wanted to stir up her sister a bit, but now that she had succeeded, she was afraid of stirring her up too much.

  "Hmm...the operation is quite fast, I've said it before!" Ye Xiu said.

  "What's more?" Chen Guo said.

  "There's also...". Ye Xiu thought hard for a moment, his gaze drifting elsewhere: "She's quite pretty."

  Chen Guo vomited blood. Is this boasting? But the problem is that we are discussing game issues, and he suddenly said "looks quite pretty", isn't it obvious that he is saying his opponent is useless in the game?

  Tang Rou was about to explode, her eyes blazing with anger... Chen Guo looked down and saw that Tang Rou's lips were bitten tightly together, her right hand still gripping the mouse tightly. If it had been Chen Guo, she would have already smashed the keyboard at someone by now, but Tang Rou wasn't like that; she just coldly said: "We'll talk after the match."

  "Let's stop here, I was holding back just now. Otherwise, after the eagle strike, the silver light would have fallen, the heavenly strike would have swept the ground, and the dragon strike would have made you fall with a round dance of the club." Ye Xiu said.

  "So why don't you continue?" Tang Rou asked.

  "That way I win, and I get to take this hundred yuan from you. But you're not even playing, it's not worth winning, and taking this hundred yuan is really embarrassing, forget it!" Ye Xiu said, looking at Chen Guo again: "Boss, that hundred yuan is mine! Deduct it from my salary, as agreed."

  "Take it." Chen Guo, exasperated, grabbed the 100 yuan note, crumpled it into a ball and threw it over.

  "Thank you." Ye Xiu hastily added. His pockets weren't truly empty, not a single cent was left, but cigarettes were like food to him, a fixed expense that had to be planned for in the long run, being prepared for any situation.

  "It's a loss, no need to say anything, take this hundred yuan." Tang Rou stood up and handed over the hundred yuan she had bet.

  "Never mind, it's really embarrassing to ask for." Ye Xiu said.

  "Take it!" Chen Guo glared at Ye Xiu on this side, she somewhat knew Tang Rou's temper, this girl was both strong-willed and serious, if Ye Xiu really refused to accept the money, things wouldn't end well. What she feared now was that Ye Xiu would also be a stubborn person who wouldn't take the money no matter what, then what could be done?

  Then Ye Xiu said: "Give it to the boss then, I'll pay her back."

  Damn it! Kick the ball over here. Chen Guo was angry, but seeing that Tang Rou didn't mean to escalate the conflict, Chen Guo could only take the initiative to go and get the money: "Then this account is settled!"

  "Let's play another round." Tang Rou said, sitting down. Chen Guo could only wipe away tears, this was Tang Rou, who wouldn't shout and argue with people like he did, she was a person of action, a firm believer that facts spoke louder than words, and would only use her strength to leave you speechless.

  Since it was a practice match, there were no scores kept and players could come and go as they pleased. After Tang Rou sat down, she immediately chose to play again, not waiting for Ye Xiu to say anything before slapping down another 100 yuan bill on the table: "Still one hundred per round, although I'm not very good at this game, I hope you'll take it seriously."

  Ye Xiu turned his head towards Chen Guo, Chen Guo spread her hands, meaning she couldn't control it, you got yourself into this mess, now get yourself out of it!

  "Alright..." Ye Xiu didn't say anything else and quietly sat down.

  A new round begins, Chen Guo still stands behind Tang Rou, but this time she just silently watches, no longer speaking much, and no longer being surprised or frightened.

  The situation was no different from the previous round, and Zhuoyanxia was defeated without even touching Junmoxiao's clothes. The only difference was that Junmoxiao didn't show mercy this time and directly killed off all of Zhuoyanxia's life.

  "Again!" Tang Rou didn't say another word, pulled out a hundred yuan and slapped it down, choosing to play again.

  Still lost.

  "Come again!"

  Lose again.

  "Come again!"

  Lose again.

  Ye Xiu didn't say a word, and Chen Guo couldn't see Ye Xiu's expression from where she was sitting behind the computer. She could only tell that Jun Mo Xiao's performance was absolutely not holding back, being serious, cautious, and ruthless in seizing every opportunity.

  Many customers in the internet cafe gradually noticed the match on this side, and some regulars had already put down their machines to gather around and watch the excitement.

  Most of the regular customers knew Tang Rou, and this beauty was the object of affection for many people. So most people knew that Tang Rou didn't play Glory, but her PK level in Glory was actually not low. At this time, they saw a stack of 100-yuan bills on her table, and everyone's eyes widened in shock.

  As for her opponent? Just arrived two days ago, had been on night shift as a web manager, familiar customers didn't necessarily recognize him immediately. After staring at the screen for a while after the battle, someone behind Tang Rou suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Junmo Xiao, is that you, Junmo Xiao from District 10?"

  "Is that so? Where is it?" This remark suddenly startled many people, and those who hadn't come to watch the commotion also rushed over upon hearing the noise. Everyone ran to Tang Rou's back and tried to make out the "ID" on her opponent's head.

  Tang Rou and Ye Xiu, however, were not affected by the commotion and continued to play their game with utmost focus. Chen Guo, on the other hand, was taken aback by the crowd's reaction to Jun Mo Xiao and grabbed a nearby guy, asking: "What's wrong with Jun Mo Xiao?"

  "The hottest character in District 10 right now. Three first kills in Novice Village, holder of the Frost Forest dungeon record, and has already joined Blue Brook Pavilion."

  "Huh? I know people from Blue Brook Pavilion. Don't laugh, yesterday I just helped them take down a record and then quit the guild after clearing it."

  "My god, he can't even get into Blue Brook Pavilion, what does he want?"

  "Shh, keep your voice down, there's someone right across from us."

  "What? Is that the one over there?"

  The crowd who didn't know the truth even hadn't figured out that Tang Rou, the one who was slapping the banknotes, was actually the guy in front of her.

  "Oh no, lost again..."

  "How many is this now?"

  "I don't know, it started when I came."

  "There must be over 500 pieces on the table now?"

  "Alright, alright."

  "Oh dear, took another one!"

  "Come on, Tang MM......"

  Like this, Tang Rou lost ten games in a row. Ten games added up couldn't even touch the corner of Jun Mo Xiao's clothes, but in every audience member's eyes, they completely couldn't see any chance for her to win. The previous cheering voices for her had already changed into persuasions, and some people started despising Jun Mo Xiao for not knowing how to cherish a beauty.

  "Come on!" Tang Rou shouted again, but this time her hand froze after flipping over her purse.

  She can't come anymore... because she has no money.

  The third watch is over... Today was relatively early, everyone can go to bed a bit earlier.
