Hu Die Lan

Chapter 433 Accepting the Challenge

"What did we bet on last time?" Chen Guo asked.

"It's been too long, I don't remember," Ma Chenyi said with a dark face. It was obvious that this guy didn't have much guile; his mood was basically written all over his face. He had been in high spirits just moments ago, but Chen Guo's question immediately darkened his face, making it clear that he didn't forget, but rather didn't want to remember.

Last time, this guy must have lost terribly. The audience had already confidently come to this conclusion.

"We can't do worse than last time, right? Besides, it's almost the New Year. How about this: 24 accounts from the God Domain, one of each class, how's that?" Chen Guo said.

"What do you want so many account cards for?" Ma Chenyi asked strangely.

"What, are you admitting defeat before even fighting?" Chen Guo smiled.

"Who's admitting defeat!?" Ma Chenyi shouted.

"If you're not admitting defeat, how do you know the account cards are definitely for me?" Chen Guo said.

Someone without much guile usually isn't very sharp in arguments. Just look at how Ma Chenyi's taunting lines towards Chen Guo haven't changed in years, and you know this guy hasn't put much effort into it. Now, Chen Guo seized on a slip of the tongue and ridiculed him, and he couldn't respond for a moment. His aura weakened, and the players who were craning their necks to watch burst into laughter.

With Ma Chenyi's skills, it was obvious that he had suffered quite a few losses in arguments with Chen Guo, and his resistance was quite strong. He didn't collapse under the mocking laughter. He continued to stand stubbornly and finally had a retort: "A pile of account cards, what would I use them for?"

"You can ask for something else," Chen Guo said.

Clearly, the main point of their contention was a matter of pride. The stakes were just to add insult to injury, and neither was really after them. If Ma Chenyi really had something he desperately wanted, the location of Happy Internet Cafe would be very good, but there was no need to bring up such a weak condition. Neither of them would be irrational enough to make that the stake.

Speaking of those 24 account cards from the God Domain, buying them would indeed be quite expensive, but for these two internet cafe owners, it wouldn't be a big expense. The key was this matter of pride.

"Forget it, we men won't haggle with you women too much. Account cards it is!" After Ma Chenyi said this, he shouted at the players in Happy Internet Cafe, "Brothers, there will be 24 account cards later. We don't have any use for them, so we have to find a way to give them away. Anyone interested can go to Hongtai with us and discuss how to give them away."

"Very confident, aren't you!" Chen Guo said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right." Ma Chenyi laughed, not wanting to lose face. After laughing, he suddenly thought, "It's right that he should be confident, but why does Chen Guo look so unafraid when he comes to challenge us? Something's not right. Where does she get so much confidence from?"

"Are these two the ones?" Chen Guo didn't give Ma Chenyi time to continue thinking deeply and pointed to the two people standing next to the front desk.

"That's right."

"Alright, let's start then. Is anyone here interested in trying?" Chen Guo said and clapped her hands, calling out in the internet cafe. Ma Chenyi had said some harsh words, saying he wanted those two to defeat everyone at Happy, so Chen Guo didn't bother organizing. She just called on any curious players to come up and try.

Of course, there were plenty of such players. Even if they weren't regulars at Happy Internet Cafe, it was normal for them to come out and play out of curiosity at this time. People in the internet cafe immediately called out, wanting to try.

At this time, those who could play would all be max-level characters from the God Domain. The two of them logged into the game one after another. Chen Guo went over to take a look. One was a swordsman and the other a sharpshooter, both popular classes in Glory.

The room was quickly set up in the arena. Of course, they didn't object to people watching. However, those who came to watch were all people from Happy Internet Cafe at this time.

"Do you want me to open a computer for you?" Chen Guo went to one of the computers and, like the other customers, used a character to watch. This way of watching allowed her to see the whole situation better.

"No need." Ma Chenyi just stood behind the two of them, preparing to watch their screens.

So, without further ado, the match started quickly.

The swordsman went first. On Happy Internet Cafe's side, the challenger was a player using a Magician. The countdown started, and everyone was full of expectations. This guy who dared to challenge everyone must have some skill, right?

The truth wasn't too distorted. The swordsman player was indeed very skilled.

All the players who made it to the God Domain, unless they bought their accounts, wouldn't be newbies. This Magician player was one of them. Although not a master, he was still quite good at playing. As a result, when the two sides started fighting, he basically didn't gain any advantage and was cleanly and neatly defeated by the swordsman. Although it wasn't a flawless victory with full health, the difference in strength between the two sides was clear at a glance.

Some onlookers who were hoping to see a joke were now unable to speak. This guy who came to challenge was indeed not just talking on paper.

"Beautiful!" Ma Chenyi shouted as the words "Glory" flashed on the screen. His voice was loud enough for the second floor to hear and he glanced at Chen Guo triumphantly.

"Not bad, pretty good!" Chen Guo smiled.

"At least you know how to play," Ma Chenyi said.

"Is there anyone else who wants to try?" Chen Guo asked.

After this match, those who knew how to play had a pretty direct judgment of the swordsman player's strength. Some curious people, after realizing they were obviously no match, suppressed their curiosity. After Chen Guo asked, no one answered for a long time.

"Oh, doesn't Happy Internet Cafe have a lot of masters? What's going on, where did they all go?" Ma Chenyi taunted.

This sentence, whether he said it intentionally or casually, was quite important. Chen Guo felt depressed. Looking at the customers who were watching at this time, not many of them showed shame. Chen Guo didn't see any familiar faces among them.

Chen Guo knew that many of the masters who used to support Happy were big fans of Glory. Since she stopped broadcasting Excellent Era's matches, many of them were directly offended and never came again. After that day, many familiar faces had disappeared from Happy Internet Cafe.

"Hmph, what's so arrogant about it?" At this time, before Chen Guo could answer, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

This kind of long-awaited voice was always highly anticipated. Everyone turned their eyes and saw a person looking at the two challengers with disdain.

"With just these skills, how could they possibly be Sir Lord Grim's opponent?"

As a result, when this person spoke again, everyone fell over. This guy wasn't so great himself, he was talking about others! How could he still look so arrogant, as if he were a savior?

Chen Guo took a look and saw that the person speaking was actually the player whose character was called Rising Glory. Seeing Chen Guo look over, this person immediately shouted, "Boss Lady, where's Sir Lord Grim? Call him over. This kind of trash can be easily dealt with."

"Sir Lord Grim..." When this name came out, everyone was shocked.

Those who play Glory now rarely don't know the name Sir Lord Grim, but the fact that Sir Lord Grim was in Happy Internet Cafe wasn't widely known yet. When Ma Chenyi heard this news, he looked like he had been stepped on and said after a long while, "Sir Lord Grim is from your place?"

Sir Lord Grim, disregarding the 20-level difference, wielding a silver weapon, completing the God Domain challenge mission, and never losing once, was already a legendary figure. Ma Chenyi now finally knew why Chen Guo was so confident; she was hiding a remarkable master.

"What, do you want to admit defeat?" Chen Guo smiled.

Ma Chenyi was indeed a little scared because the myth created by Sir Lord Grim was unprecedented in the history of Glory. The key was that this guy hadn't lost a single match; this was a complete show of strength.

But since he had already come, if he admitted defeat and went back now, it seemed that losing after fighting would be less embarrassing. Ma Chenyi was extremely depressed. Thinking about his arrogant entry, he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

"Sir Lord Grim is Sir Lord Grim, I'm afraid of you?" Ma Chenyi, who was already afraid in his heart, could only stubbornly persist on the surface, although his face had long been ridiculed by everyone.

"You wish, but unfortunately, Sir Lord Grim isn't here today," Chen Guo said.

"Isn't here?" Ma Chenyi was puzzled again. If this person wasn't here, Chen Guo shouldn't have been so confident. Why did she still look so confident?

"However, I didn't say that Sir Lord Grim is the only master here!" Chen Guo said.

"What do you mean?"

"Look, isn't he here?" Chen Guo pointed to the screen.

In the arena where the swordsman had just won a match, although there were many spectators, these were all customers from Happy's side who knew what was going on, so no one rashly entered the arena. At this time, someone suddenly came in and stood directly opposite the swordsman.

"Who is this?" Ma Chenyi asked.

"Someone from my place!"

"Where?" Ma Chenyi looked around.

"Here." Someone raised their hand slightly, "Can we start?"

"Start!" Ma Chenyi said sternly.

Entering the arena was a Gunner. At the start of the match, he immediately moved around the arena. The Gunner was an absolute long-range class. To win, he had to maintain distance from his opponent. However, the Gunner himself was a relatively slow-moving class, so to maintain high-speed movement, the flying cannon technique had to be skillfully used.

And at this time, the Gunner in the arena did exactly that. In the continuous sound of cannons, he always maintained his distance from the swordsman, patiently and slowly grinding down the swordsman from a distance. This style of play was more inclined to the cowardly style. But whether he could continue to be cowardly until the end remained to be seen. The swordsman player was also very patient, carefully seizing opportunities.
