Chapter 22 – Ye Qiu's Retirement (1)

Chen Guo still didn't understand . Even if Ye Xiu didn't mind, why would the other person accept him into the party?

“What exactly happened?” Chen Guo asked .

“I reckon that when they first admitted me in, they had a plot set up for me . But after seeing that I played well, they felt that I would be helpful to them, so they let me go . Ye Xiu said .

“Then you just happily worked for them without any benefits?” Chen Guo felt extremely on Ye Xiu's behalf .

“It's nothing . It's okay . ” While Ye Xiu said this, on the screen, a lance flashed by killing off the Spider Lord that had been surrounded by the five of them . Chen Guo saw a bunch of system messages typed out neatly in the chat box . The party members Seven Fields, Sleeping Moon, Sunset Clouds, and Drifting Water all chose to renounce the equipment dropped from the Spider Lord .

“What is the meaning of this?” Chen Guo was astonished .

“I was very helpful to them, so they forced me to choose which equipment to take first . Sigh, there's nothing I can do!” While Ye Xiu said this, he decisively chose to renounce them . Through these priority picks, he had already collected a set of Blue equipment long ago . But these guys still wanted him to take a look first .

Chen Guo was dumbstruck . She felt that what Ye Xiu described was too modest . How was this working for them? Wasn't he the boss? Only the core of the party was qualified to have priority picks after finishing a BOSS, . Not only that, but the precondition was that they were all a group of friends that recognized each other . Only then would they let the player who did the most work have priority . But these party members? Before she had slept, it seemed like they were enemies . When she work up, how did they all suddenly become his little brothers?

“Clearly tell me how exactly this happened . ” Chen Guo wouldn't drop this matter and would ask until results came forth .

“It's because I helped them a lot!” Ye Xiu said .

“How much?”

“I carried them through the Spider Cave and Spider Emperor first clears . ” Ye Xiu said .
“You completed three first clears in one night?” Chen Guo was shocked . She had played Chasing Haze for five years, but she didn't have a single first clear under her name . He only played throughout the night and a morning, not even 12 hours, but obtained three first clears . This was too dazzling .

“Good luck . ” Ye Xiu said . He lazily stretched and stood up from his chair . The party members on the screen had already logged out . A faint farewell could be heard from his headphones . Ye Xiu took the headphones from Chen Guo's hands . He put it up to his mouth shouting “See you later!” and then logged out of the game .

“I'm so sleepy . I'm going to sleep . ” Ye Xiu said .

“Do you want to eat something before sleeping?” While Chen Guo said this, she sized up Ye Xiu . Truthfully, when she looked at Ye Xiu's face, she couldn't see any signs of the word “sleepy” . This person had pulled an all-nighter plus a morning . He did look a little listless, but the problem was that yesterday, when they had first met, he looked depressed as if he were half-dead . She really couldn't tell that he had been wounded by the weapon of no sleep .

“No need! After I sleep, I'll eat !” Ye Xiu shut down the computer and ran . Chen Guo had given him the keys to the second floor storage room last night . After opening the door to that pitifully tiny storage room, he covered his head with a pillow and fell asleep . As for this room, it actually suited sleeping during the day very nicely . When the door was closed, the small light that slipped through the window wouldn't disturb him at all .

Ye Xiu fell asleep quickly . He slept extremely well . When he awoke, the day turned dark again . It was hard to imagine that someone who had just recently experienced such a great rise and fall could sleep so simply . Sitting up from his bed, Ye Xiu didn't turn on the lights . He lit up a cigarette and after quietly smoking it, he got up and left the room .

The doors to the two small bedrooms were all locked up . Ye Xiu knew that one of these rooms was occupied by Chen Guo and the other was occupied by young lady named Tang Rou . He heard that Tang Rou was a long-time employee at Happy Internet Cafe . She had already worked there for almost two years, but in these past few days, she had taken a break . As for other Internet Cafe employees that needed a living place, they lived in the nearby neighborhood . Chen Guo had rented an apartment for all of the employees to live in . Ye Xiu's place was a place for waiting until a vacancy opened up . Chen Guo indicated that as soon as a person stopped working, he would have the opportunity to obtain his own bed .

When he went to the bathroom at a convenient time, Ye Xiu saw a sticky note on the mirror . Bored, he took a glance and discovered that the sticky note was actually written to him . Chen Guo had already prepared a towel and toothbrush for him .

Ye Xiu tore down the sticky note and was somewhat at a loss . Mainly, he didn't think that the boss was so attentive . As for whether he was moved, this type of trivial matter wouldn't be enough, grateful would be more accurate .

After tidying the towel and toothbrush, Ye Xiu left and looked around for a bit . It was already 9 o'clock . He hadn't eaten food all day . Leaving the small inner rooms, he entered the Internet Cafe and felt a little abnormal . Even though the second floor was a more costly higher quality area, it was a little too empty . Ye Xiu headed downstairs baffled . In the end, unexpectedly, the further he went, the darker it became . The Internet Cafe's first floor actually had no lights turned on .

“Did something happen?” Ye Xiu glanced around at a loss . He discovered that although the first floor lights weren't turned on, there were a lot of people, so much so that there were quite a few trying to squeeze in . To wall in the south, a 200 inch diagonal projection hung high up . The projector streamed a scene and the sound echoed throughout the entire Internet Cafe . Everyone was extremely quiet, whether they were sitting at a computer or standing in the passageway . It seemed as if they had all forgotten what the purpose of an Internet Cafe was and treated it as a movie theatre, quietly gazing at the projection . Ye Xiu also quickly heard a voice commentating on the scene . Five words that he couldn't have been more familiar with appeared .

Ye Qiu, One Autumn Leaf .

The projection that was being streamed, to his shock, was a movie segment on the history of his professional career in Glory . The commentator also movingly described the series of accomplishments he had gained in his career in Glory .

Three time league champion, three time MVP, two time Rising Star, one time One Hit One Kill .

No matter if it was his team or other players, Ye Qiu was at the peak of the Glory Professional Alliance . He was the goal of every professional Glory player .

“Next, let's all commemorate the Battle God One Autumn Leaf that Ye Qiu controlled through these series of marvelous images . ” The commentator used a downcast sorrowful tone to cast . On the projection, invincible images of the Battle God One Autumn Leaf began showing on the screen . Before, any picture would have made the crowd go wild with excitement . But now, the Internet Cafe was silent . There was no yelling or cheering . Everyone just silently looked as pictures flashed by one by one . They knew, from today onwards, everything there would be a thing of the past .

On that day at noon, Excellent Era Club called for a news conference and announced the retirement of their team captain Ye Xiu .

This ever mysterious expert didn't even participate in his own retirement news conference . Everyone only saw the Excellent Era manager take out Ye Qiu's signature on the agreement stating his retirement . The Excellent Era manager soon after proclaimed, that the retired Ye Xiu had tactfully declined the club's other positions and left the Excellent Era Club by himself .

The screen continuously flickered . Duels, slaughters, records, the commentator timely made progress and gradually made his way to Ye Qiu and Excellent Era's dismal situation . Within the Internet Cafe crowd, faint sobbing could be heard .
