Hu Die Lan
Chapter 115 Full Commitment
Liu Hao quickly connected these two things together and immediately understood Ye Xiu's intention, bursting into laughter, "Hahahaha, so that's what this guy is up to."
Chen Yehui on the other end of the phone was shocked and almost dropped the phone. After steadying himself, he carefully asked, "What?"
"Hmph, too bad. I've completely seen through him now. How can he fight me with what he has now? Want to start over? Dream on!!" Liu Hao was completely talking to himself. Chen Yehui, listening on the other end, said helplessly, "Team Liu, I'll hang up if there's nothing else!"
"Okay, go back and prepare the accounts. For Burial Grounds, I need a Spellblade, Sharpshooter, Striker, Swordsman, and Witch," Liu Hao instructed.
"Understood," Chen Yehui replied, secretly alarmed by the five classes he heard. Liu Hao had only specified three classes for the previous record, but this time he had named all five. Could it be that he was sending five pro players to clear Burial Grounds? What had he discovered? He was putting more and more effort into these dungeons.
On the Xingxin Internet Cafe side, Ye Xiu and Tang Rou continued to level up, with no difference from usual. Even Chen Guo had become numb to it. But then, this morning, Ye Xiu had actually taken the initiative to come find her.
"Boss Lady, can I borrow your account to play for a bit!" Ye Xiu had come to borrow an account card.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Guo asked.
"Clear a small dungeon," Ye Xiu said.
"Clear a small dungeon?" Chen Guo was confused, handing over her Chasing Haze to Ye Xiu while following him to watch.
Chasing Haze was already a character who had entered the Divine Domain, but the Divine Domain wasn't a one-way trip. Ye Xiu used Chasing Haze to exit the Divine Domain and headed straight for Burial Grounds in the low-level area.
This old server's Burial Grounds wasn't as lively as the tenth server's, but there were still some players. Seeing a level 70 character appear, the screen immediately filled with text bubbles like "Sis, carry me!" and team invites were already being sent. This was the style of the old server! When it came to leveling speed, the old server was definitely faster than the new server. Even without friends, there were plenty of high-level characters willing to sell themselves to carry low-level accounts.
Ye Xiu naturally ignored these people and directly controlled Chasing Haze to rush into the dungeon. A level 70 character clearing this small dungeon was naturally effortless, especially with Ye Xiu controlling them. But after entering the dungeon, Ye Xiu didn't rush to fight. He controlled Chasing Haze to run around, attracting a large group of monsters, looking like he was teasing them.
"What are you doing?" Chen Guo asked, not understanding.
"Oh, I'm just looking at this dungeon. My account is out of tries," Ye Xiu explained as he controlled Chasing Haze, unleashing several big moves that cleared out all the monsters. Ye Xiu then pulled a notebook from his pocket.
Chen Guo recognized this notebook. The stationery store thirty meters to the left of the Internet cafe sold them for 3 yuan each. Chen Guo watched as he flipped through the notebook, the first few pages already filled with messy writing and some random doodles. Ye Xiu flipped to the back page and immediately started writing something.
"Taking notes while clearing a dungeon?" Chen Guo found it novel.
"Studying it to prepare to challenge the dungeon record," Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo was stunned, unsure of what to say. Ye Xiu's focus and dedication moved her. She also liked Glory and was a very loyal fan, but in Ye Xiu, she saw an attitude towards the game that was completely different from her own. She was playing the game, but for Ye Xiu, Chen Guo suddenly felt that she couldn't use the word "play" to describe it.
Chen Guo couldn't help but think of nine years ago when she took over this Internet cafe. All around her were suspicious gazes, and she really didn't understand anything. From then on, she spent every day in the Internet cafe, paying attention to the needs of the customers, constantly improving the environment, trying various ways to attract more repeat customers, and calculating the day's traffic every night, looking for patterns.
At that time, she was like Ye Xiu now, serious, focused, and doing everything she could. She was busy and tired, but she felt so fulfilled when she saw the Internet cafe's business getting better day by day. Now, the Internet cafe's traffic was stable and the income was far greater than it was back then, but how long had it been since she had felt that kind of satisfaction?
Chen Guo was a little envious of Ye Xiu, but also felt some sympathy. He was so dedicated to the game, but he had been abandoned by the professional scene. This guy was actually very pitiful! Chen Guo suddenly felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but think of Ye Qiu, who had just retired. It turned out that retirement was the most heartbreaking and painful thing for the person involved, wasn't it? It was such a cruel word.
The tip of the pen scratched across the notebook as Ye Xiu completely ignored the strange look on Chen Guo's face behind him. Chen Guo didn't bother him either, quietly walking away with a heavy heart.
On Ye Xiu's side, he continued to experiment with Chasing Haze in the Burial Grounds dungeon. The high-level account gave him many conveniences that small accounts couldn't have, and the things written in the notebook kept increasing. Unknowingly, this run of the dungeon had been cleared. Ye Xiu didn't stop. He entered the dungeon again with Chasing Haze, but this time he operated in the game more and stopped to write less.
After three consecutive runs, Chasing Haze's dungeon attempts were all used up. Ye Xiu had gained a lot and was satisfied as he logged out and returned the account card to Chen Guo.
"How was it?" Chen Guo asked.
"Pretty good," Ye Xiu smiled.
"Okay, keep it up," Chen Guo said.
"What?" Ye Xiu didn't hear clearly.
"Keep it up," Chen Guo repeated.
"Did I hear that right?" Ye Xiu widened his eyes. He had been working so hard in the small dungeon, shouldn't the boss be looking down on him? Now she was actually telling him to keep it up, and her tone seemed a little... gentle? Ye Xiu couldn't help but shiver when he thought of that word. It seemed a bit chilling when used on Chen Guo.
"Go, go, go, go to sleep!!" Chen Guo said angrily. This guy really didn't know what was good for him.
Ye Xiu immediately felt relieved. This was the Chen Guo he was used to. He hadn't mistaken her.
Nothing happened during the day. When Chen Guo was about to go to sleep in the evening, Ye Xiu and Tang Rou, full of energy, rubbed their hands in anticipation as they began their new day.
In the game, Ye Xiu logged on and first sent a private message to Steamed Bun Invasion, telling him to come to the dungeon at midnight. As a result, Steamed Bun Invasion recommended that guy called Leaving H恨 Sword, claiming that after competing with him for two days, Leaving H恨 Sword's skills had improved significantly.
"Is that so? Then you can come with him then," Ye Xiu said with a smile, agreeing without paying attention to Steamed Bun Invasion's bragging. Anyway, their team had an empty spot besides the four of them, so it didn't matter who came.
"Alright, you're coming to the dungeon with us tonight," Steamed Bun Invasion told Leaving H恨 Sword, who was competing with him.
"Really? That's great," Liu Hao said, genuinely happy, but on the surface, he was bright, while inside he was dark.
"Let me tell you, you have to be polite when you see the Great God. If he can give you a few pointers, you'll benefit from it for the rest of your life!" Steamed Bun Invasion said earnestly.
Give you pointers, my ass!! Liu Hao cursed inwardly. But after hanging out with Steamed Bun Invasion for two days, his resistance to this newbie's nonsense had obviously increased, which still reflected his professional-level psychological quality and adaptability. He cursed wildly in his heart, but said with a smile, "Of course."
At 0:00 AM, the team gathered. Steamed Bun Invasion and Leaving H恨 Sword arrived together from the arena. Ye Xiu and Tang Rou had already met this person and casually greeted him. Su Mucheng's Wind Following Smoke was the last to arrive. She also greeted the new member.
"Is that Su Mucheng?" Liu Hao guessed in his heart. He had only said hello to each other, so he couldn't tell anything.
But whether it was Su Mucheng or not wasn't Liu Hao's focus. He remained low-key and cautious, following the team into the dungeon.
"This time we're practicing how to refresh the Burial Grounds dungeon record. It's still in the experimental stage, so there may be some oversights. Everyone, be careful," Ye Xiu said after entering the dungeon.
"Did you hear that? I'm talking about you!" Steamed Bun Invasion said.
"Who?" Liu Hao responded casually. In the game, they were all characters and couldn't see each other's expressions. Steamed Bun Invasion's words didn't indicate who he was talking to. A newbie was just a newbie.
"You! Except for you, we're all old members," Steamed Bun Invasion said.
Liu Hao slapped himself in the face. Damn it! Why did he have to talk to this rotten Steamed Bun?
"Huh? What's that sound? I think I heard a 'slap'. Did you guys hear it?" Steamed Bun Invasion shouted.
Liu Hao was sweating. He really couldn't be careless! He had been heard.
"I heard it. Let's start now," Ye Xiu changed the subject without any skill. Steamed Bun Invasion remained calm. No one knew if this guy was still trying to hear the second "slap."
"The most important thing in clearing the Burial Grounds record is positioning, using reasonable positioning to disturb as few of the monsters buried underground as possible. Our strategy continues with this idea. Everyone, pay attention, try not to make a single wrong step. Leaving H恨 Sword... come back first," Ye Xiu said.
"Ah?" Liu Hao was stunned.
"What ah! You just started and you're already running around. I'm not bringing you anymore!!" Steamed Bun Invasion seriously criticized and threatened Leaving H恨 Sword.
"What's wrong?" Liu Hao still didn't understand.
"Looks like you know how to play?" Ye Xiu said. If they weren't trying to break the record, they wouldn't save time in this regard. Killing a few more monsters would give them more experience, so Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion didn't know what the record-breaking strategy was like.
"I know... There doesn't seem to be anything to pay attention to at the beginning, right?" Liu Hao said.
"Hehe, we're using a new strategy," Ye Xiu said.
"Did you hear that? A new strategy, not the outdated strategy you know," Steamed Bun Invasion said.
"New strategy?" Liu Hao was confused.
"That's right, everyone pay attention to my movement. I'll talk as I walk," Ye Xiu said, already sending his Lord Grim rushing out. In the blink of an eye, the ground around him opened up, and four undead creatures began to crawl out.
"What's the difference?" Liu Hao was confused. The four small monsters at the beginning couldn't be bypassed, so they just rushed up and killed them all. What was so special about Lord Grim's movement now? Wasn't it still disturbing all four small monsters at once?
