Chapter 399 – The Coming of the Spring Festival

Fighting for the dungeon records was not as exciting as it had been without all the ruckus caused by the big guilds . It’s just like a marathon is only exciting when the winner emerges from a large group of runners . If there is only one runner in the whole race, then the race would be very boring . There won’t be any suspense to the results .

This was the case with Guild Happy hogging Sin City’s dungeon records . They had turned one of the most anticipated competition into a dull monologue . Conquering the top ten positions on the standings awed the players of the tenth server time after time . The members of Guild Happy couldn’t be more proud about this . However, this was getting rather tiresome for the five people who were creating the records and monopolizing the rankings .

Horse Shooter and Thousand Creations were not exceptions to this . After making ten records in a row, their initial excitement was already history . In the end, everyone was bored with making records .

“New record?”

“Yep, new record . ”

Even the exclamation mark was gone this time .

“What’s next?” Tang Rou asked Ye Xiu . It was clear that she hated the lack of challenges .

“It’s good that there is no more troublemakers . Let’s keep leveling up!” Ye Xiu was more realistic . His doubts about the lack of response from the big guilds were nowhere to be seen .

Therefore, everyone continued with dungeon crawling, monster killing, missions, and other necessary leveling up works . Due to the difference in levels, the team members stayed the same everyday . A multiplayer online game now just feels like a singles layer station game . It was getting a bit repetitive . However, Ye Xiu was still quite into it . In addition to leveling up his own character everyday, he would also spend some time on guild matters . He also helped out

One day, two days… . . Time passed like this day by day . Everyone continued to level and pro matches continued to be played .

Ever since that day, Happy Internet Cafe maintained its tradition of broadcasting matches on match day . However, Excellent Era no longer became the sole match . Other exciting matches were chosen instead . Because of this, the cohesiveness of the guests declined greatly and the match days lost much of its former excitement in the Cafe .

After all, in the past, the loyal spectators during match day were there because they supported the same team . They were all friendly with each other because they shared a common language . These spectators might not necessarily like that big projection screen, but they certainly loved cheering and cursing together as a crowd, encouraging their favorite team .

Happy Internet Cafe’s match day event had been so successful because of this type of atmosphere . But now, without the cohesiveness from supporting Team Excellent Era and only that projection screen, the results were completely night and day . On these match days, when a hated enemy was seen, the Internet Cafe was able to gather quite a few spectators, but it was never as exciting as before .

Many people felt that it was truly a pity . Some of them even tried to persuade Chen Guo to return to the original format, but Chen Guo always rejected them without hesitation .

Happy Internet Cafe couldn’t compare in popularity to before on match days, but the regular business wasn’t affected . The flow of customers every day were as strong as ever .

The peaceful days went by quickly . During the entire leveling process from Levels 44-46 in Gloom Forest, Guild Happy didn’t receive any challenges from the top guilds and just like that, the dungeon records were conquered .

In the blink of an eye, it was already near the end of the month and it was time for the Spring Festival . Glory had released Spring Festival events awhile ago The Spring Festival events were the same every year with plenty of rewards .

However, no matter how amazing the event was, it would be very difficult for it to upsurge the Internet Cafe’s business .

After all, the Spring Festival wasn’t on the same level as Christmas in China . Even for the Pro Alliance, no matches were held during the Spring Festival . The usual frequent customers went back home during this time .

Chen Guo was a generous boss and had let her employees go on vacation quite early .

“What about you?” Chen Guo asked the employee that had been hired this year .

“What about you?” The employee Ye Xiu asked back .

“This is my home . ” Chen Guo said .

“Let me stay here… . . ” Ye Xiu said decisively .

“You’re not going back home?” Chen Guo frowned .

Ye Xiu slowly shook his head .

Chen Guo sighed, but didn’t say anything . Family matters were his business . Even though the two of them could be considered as friends, Chen Guo didn’t understand his family situation too well, so she didn’t feel qualified to say anything .

“Not bad . I’ll have someone to accompany me this year . ” Chen Guo welcomed Ye Xiu to stay .

“What about Little Tang?” Ye Xiu asked .

“She’s packing her things!”

“She’s going back home?” Ye Xiu’s question was a bit weird .

Chen Guo nodded her head .

“Where… . . Does she live?” It was the first time Ye Xiu had asked about Tang Rou’s personal life .

But Chen Guo unexpectedly shook her head: “I don’t know . ”

“Hm… . . don’t you think that Little Tang’s background is quite mysterious?” Ye Xiu asked .

Chen Guo only laughed: “So what? It’s not like she’s a bad person . ”

“That’s true . ” Ye Xiu nodded his head . He turned around and continued to play the game . Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve . There wasn’t a single customer in the Internet Cafe . Only the sounds of Ye Xiu’s mouse and keyboard could be heard . The other employees had been given their red envelopes already and had gone back home happily to celebrate the festival .

Chen Guo walked around, bored . Soon afterwards, she saw Tang Rou carrying her luggage downstairs and hurriedly went over to help . However, Tang Rou shook her hand: “It’s not heavy!” and carried it down herself .

“Everyone’s gone?” Tang Rou looked around the Internet Cafe and said after her gaze landed back onto Chen Guo .

“I’m still here!” A hand was raised behind a computer in the corner . The hand waved around, answering the question for Chen Guo .

“You’re not going back home?” Tang Rou called out .

“I don’t have time . I have work to do . ” Ye Xiu replied .

Tang Rou and Chen Guo couldn’t help but laugh . They had a general understanding of Ye Xiu’s situation though and knew that he was just joking . That obviously wasn’t a reason to go back home . In reality,what family didn’t have a computer in this day and age? The Internet Cafe provided a type of atmosphere . For a special time like the Spring Festival, everyone had their own important atmospheres to experience . Those who liked to frequent the Internet Cafe temporarily went back home to play .

“Don’t forget to keep leveling when you go back! Don’t be like Steamed Bun and lag behind after the event is done . ” Ye Xiu stopped doing his “work” and went over to sincerely warn the departing Tang Rou several times .

“Got it……” Tang Rou chuckled .

“Come here, take the red envelope . ” Chen Guo handed over a big red envelope .

“Thanks, boss . Happy New Year . ” Tang Rou smiled splendidly and didn’t decline it .

“What about me?” Compared to not declining it, there was also taking the initiative to ask for it .

“What are you in a hurry for!” Chen Guo rolled her eyes .

“I’m not even going back home . I should be getting money for working overtime . ” Ye Xiu asked .

“Little Tank, let me help you call a taxi . ” Chen Guo ignored Ye Xiu . After months of working together, Chen Guo deeply respected Ye Xiu’s skill, but she no longer adored or revered him anymore .

“Have a safe trip home!”Ye Xiu waved his hands to send Tang Rou off .

“Happy New Year!” Tang Rou waved her hands towards Ye Xiu and hopped into the taxi . Chen Guo and Ye Xiu sent her off until she could no longer be seen .

“How cold! Let’s go back!” Ye Xiu rubbed his neck and called after Chen Guo .

“Mm . ” Chen Guo replied and the two went back to the Internet Cafe .

“You’re going to leave it open?” Ye Xiu pointed to the Internet Cafe’s entrance .

Chen Guo looked at it: “It’s not like it matters . Just leave it open!”

“There was even a tree for Christmas . You’re not going to put anything up for the Spring Festival?’ Ye Xiu asked .

Chen Guo stared blankly for a long while: “That… . . I hadn’t thought about it . ”

“You have no common sense . ” Ye Xiu said .

“I’ve always been by myself . I’ve been too lazy to do it . ” Chen Guo said .

“Oh, but not this year . The weather’s nice today . Why not go out and buy some decorations?” Ye Xiu said .

“The weather’s not bad? Didn’t you just say it was cold outside?” Chen Guo asked .

“It’s cold because I’m wearing too little . ” Ye Xiu rushed upstairs to wrap up a makeshift overcoat . Chen Guo stared dumbly at him for a long while .

“You don’t have a second jacket?” Chen Guo said .

“It’s true!” Ye Xiu said .

“Didn’t you move over from across the street? How could you be so lazy! You didn’t bring anything?” Chen Guo said .

“You have to know that I wasn’t prepared to retire and work at your Internet Cafe!” Ye Xiu said .

“Then where’s your stuff?” Chen Guo asked .

“Probably… . . At Su Mucheng’s place?” Ye Xiu asked .

“Ah!” Chen Guo immediately grew excited, “How about I come with you to get it? We can go a hundred times . There’s no rush . ”

“There’s nothing to be in a rush for . ” Ye Xiu said .

“That’s not important . ” Chen Guo clearly wasn’t concerned with Ye Xiu’s stuff .

“Chasing after a star? Don’t be in a hurry . She’s also on break . I’ll just have her come over some time . ” Ye Xiu said .

“What day? What day?” Chen Guo hastily asked .

“What day would you like?”

“Every day!”

“…… I’ll go ask . ”

“Okay, let’s go get the decorations first though . ” Chen Guo was excited .

After cleaning things up for a bit, the two left the Internet Cafe .

“I say…… your jacket can’t be your only clothing you brought right?” Chen Guo began to wonder .

“What do you want to say?” Ye Xiu glanced sideways .

“Have you washed and changed your clothing before?”

“Since we don’t have the same work and rest schedule, I’ll forgive your poor observational skills . ” Ye Xiu said .

“But how come I’ve never seen you buy anything?” Chen Guo questioned .

“Taobao, miss!”

“……”
