"What?" Chen Guo retorted.

"If you're pulling an all-nighter, you stay here. I'll go sit in the smoking area," Ye Xiu said.

"If you go sit in the smoking area, then are you on duty or am I?" Chen Guo said angrily.

"Oh, how about the boss find another place to sit? Don't you dislike the smell of smoke?" Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo was moved to tears. Although she understood that this was also for her sake, what was with this feeling of being disliked?

Ye Xiu was already holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, implying that the time for Chen Guo's decision had arrived. Either sit here and cover Ye Xiu's shift, or go play somewhere else.

"Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I'm going to sleep," Chen Guo quit the game resentfully and ran off.

Ye Xiu turned his head and watched Chen Guo leave, suddenly noticing that the account card Chen Guo had swiped was left on the table. This wasn't forgetfulness; it was just that Chen Guo treated the internet cafe like home, and it was normal to leave things lying around. An idea immediately popped into Ye Xiu's head, and he quickly shouted, "Boss, you didn't take your card. Do you want me to level it up for you tonight?"

"Whatever you want!" Chen Guo replied casually.

Ye Xiu nodded, and with a hand speed of close to three hundred, he quickly lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The siege of the Skeleton Warrior continued, but Ye Xiu wasn't affected by talking and lighting a cigarette at all. He continued to focus on the game, and before long, the Skeleton Warrior was killed. The rapier that Ye Xiu needed was already lying on the ground. He went over to pick it up and decisively abandoned the other items. Tian Qi and the others no longer declined. The three of them distributed the equipment according to their classes, and swept the other materials into their bags. Tian Qi said, "Expert, we're going to keep the high-level materials we got from the hidden bosses yesterday that you don't need for now, and sell them when the price is high. This new server is full of unscrupulous merchants who are buying them at low prices to trick newbies. When the price is normal, we'll sell them and give you your share."

"I've already taken my share; those are yours," Ye Xiu said.

"The capable should take more. Expert, don't be too modest," Tian Qi said.

Ye Xiu smiled and didn't say much more. The four continued to clear the dungeon. Tian Qi asked, "Do you want to add another person?"

Ye Xiu understood what he meant. They had already gotten what they needed. Adding another person to the team would make it more efficient.

"Whatever. But I'm only leveling to 20 today. I'm going to take a friend to level up afterward," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, okay. Do you need our help?" Tian Qi said. Actually, Ye Xiu hadn't deliberately turned off his headset when he was talking to Chen Guo, so Tian Qi and the others had vaguely heard a lot.

"No need, you guys just do your own thing," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh." Tian Qi and the others didn't say much. They had only known Ye Xiu for a day. Although it was faster to build relationships in online games, as adults, everyone knew their limits.

After leaving the dungeon, Tian Qi started calling for people to join the team. It was too easy to form a team in the novice zone. From a long list of applications, Tian Qi finally picked a female player who was level 17 to join the team.

The female player's name was Chen Yu. After joining the team, she was excited when she scanned the list of members.

Tian Qi, Mu Yun Shen, Qian Sheng Li, Jun Mo Xiao. Wasn't this the team that got the first kill for Spider Cave and Spider Lord? Chen Yu conveyed her excitement to everyone after connecting to voice chat, never thinking that she could join such a team of experts.

Thanks to the popularity of voice systems in Glory, cross-dressing was basically eliminated. When players did activities together, they would definitely use voice chat directly. If a female character only typed and never spoke, everyone would immediately become suspicious. Of course, if a man's voice sounded like a woman's, that was a natural gift that was difficult to guard against.

Tian Qi and the other two listened to the girl speak, while casually walking a meter in front of her. Ye Xiu knew that they were checking her appearance.

There were only two character templates in Glory: male and female. The specific appearance and body type could be designed using an editor. You could design it yourself, or generate it randomly. If you liked realism, you could even scan your own photo into the editor. After providing some basic data, the editor could automatically generate a character model in the game that was basically the same as you. So whether a female player's appearance in the game was her real appearance was a question that every male player was very concerned about. It was said that some experienced wolfish players could tell at a glance whether a female player's appearance was real or fake.

Tian Qi and the others didn't seem to have this "wolf" attribute. After looking at the newly arrived Chen Yu, they came to the conclusion that she was "ordinary." Whether it was true or not, they didn't know.

Chen Yu was very active. After expressing her admiration for the first-kill team, she also said that she was honored to be able to join the first-kill team. Then, she expressed her surprise that the experts of the first-kill team were still at level 18, and finally submitted an application for whether she had the opportunity to become a permanent member of the first-kill team.

To this, Tian Qi could only explain with regret that their team originally had another brother, but he hadn't come today, so there was an extra spot.

Chen Yu was very regretful, but she didn't give up. Since she couldn't be in the main team, she started to work hard to apply for whether she could get a substitute position, and inquired about what guild or organization they were in.

This question was difficult for Tian Qi and the others to answer. Obviously, outsiders regarded them as a team of experts to be admired. They hadn't entered the dungeon yet, and neither had Chen Yu. But as soon as they entered the dungeon and started working, experienced players would immediately realize that the only expert in this team was actually Jun Mo Xiao, and the others were not worth mentioning at all.

Chen Yu's questions, these expectations, could actually only fall on Expert. Now she was asking about guilds and the like… Tian Qi and the others did have a guild, but now there was the aura of Expert's god-level status. Wouldn't it be slapping themselves in the face to show off their guild's name?

"Uh, let's hurry up and go to the dungeon!" Tian Qi changed the topic and ran in first. Mu Yun Shen and the others hurriedly followed. After entering the dungeon, Ye Xiu naturally started to command. As soon as he said a word, Chen Yu interjected strangely, "Huh, who's talking?"

She had just joined the team and babbled a lot, all of which was Tian Qi and the other two chatting with her. Ye Xiu had only opened his mouth for the first time since entering the dungeon.

"Jun Mo Xiao, our team's god. We were able to get the complete first kill entirely because of him. Without him, our team isn't worth mentioning," Tian Qi found a chance to tell the truth, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed after speaking.

"Worship the god!" Chen Yu typed with an icon, adding her own voice.

"Haha, let's go!" Ye Xiu smiled and led the team forward. Commanding and killing monsters, before long, the demeanor of an obvious expert was revealed. But in the face of such genuine skill, Chen Yu didn't have much of an excited reaction.

Tian Qi and the others could see that this girl was a true novice player.

"This girl is ruined," Mu Yun Shen said quietly.

"Yeah, her starting point is too high. She's only a newbie and she's already seen such an extreme expert. How will she mix with mortals in the future?" Tian Qi said.

"Tragedy!" Qian Sheng Li sighed.
