Hu Die Lan
Chapter 558 Proof of Strength
But watching them kill their way through, Chen Guo was increasingly doubtful. Not to mention anything else, this guy didn't even use the keyboard much when he was operating. His left hand was propped on the table, supporting his chin, and his right hand was just using the mouse, clicking away. The headset was hanging around his neck, making sounds like a speaker.
Positioning, attacking, using skills...
"Could this guy be planning to OT with such newbie-like maneuvers?"
Trusting in the strength of a god, Chen Guo patiently watched on with this question in mind. As a result, no one OT'd on the way through the mobs. Chen Guo thought, this tank named Cried Bean was actually quite good. Mobs were always killed quickly, so there might not have been enough time to build up the damage needed to steal aggro. If you started attacking before the tank right from the start, that would be too newbie and too unskilled, and you would be kicked out of the team.
So Chen Guo thought that Ye Xiu was probably planning to show off his divine power during the Boss fight. She had finally waited for the first Boss and was preparing to welcome the climax, but what she got was just this sentence.
"I'm seriously slacking off."
When he said this, Ye Xiu didn't even bother to sit up straight. He still looked like his head would fall off if it wasn't being supported, clicking the mouse and saying it indifferently.
"Why are you like this!" Xin Lu in the team was also a little unhappy. Although she had said before that it wouldn't be bad if he slacked off in the team, she didn't expect him to really slack off seriously. There were no newbies in the Realm of Gods. Not to mention Xin Lu, even the other eight people, just looking at the current DPS list, without looking at the names, just looking at the data, could clearly see that this Invincible Most Handsome was slacking off.
The ninth-ranked DPS was only one-third of the eighth-ranked DPS...
Although Ye Xiu's Invincible Most Handsome's equipment wasn't great, the other eight people in the team besides the healer Xin Lu were all at the newbie level in the Realm of Gods. Their equipment was actually on the same level as Invincible Most Handsome. Although Invincible Most Handsome's equipment was configured for a tank, his DPS shouldn't have been so bad that it was only one-third.
The resting teammates all turned their attention to this side. That Cried Bean heard this and thought it was the funniest joke he'd ever heard: "What? You're throwing a tantrum? You think you can make the situation tight for us just by slacking off? You're really full of yourself. Let me tell you, with that attitude, you won't be qualified to get any knight equipment even if it drops. It's more useful to donate it to the guild warehouse than to give it to you!"
"Cried Bean!" Xin Lu called out again, obviously feeling that Cried Bean's words were a bit too much. "I believe he doesn't have that intention. If he really wanted to drag the whole team down, there are many ways. He could just run around a few steps and pull some extra monsters. But he never has. I'm the commander, and I can see it very clearly. He..." Xin Lu suddenly paused when she said "he." She wanted to say that this Invincible Most Handsome executed the commands very well and didn't make any mistakes, but just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly realized, had she ever commanded this Invincible Most Handsome?
In the beginning, she had hesitated about how to address this person, and finally used "you" as this person's exclusive title. But in fact, she didn't end up calling him "you" many times. Except for the initial period of that small chaos when she started commanding to turn the situation around, after that, Xin Lu realized that she hadn't given this person any instructions.
Not giving any instructions meant that this person didn't need instructions. Xin Lu was busy commanding and correcting the others. She suddenly realized this problem when she thought back at this time.
But her pause happened to make Cried Bean misunderstand. He immediately thought that Xin Lu had also discovered that this Invincible Most Handsome had some bad intentions in the review process. But speaking of it, as an excellent tank, if someone deliberately created some chaos, his sense should definitely be the most acute. Speaking of it, he hadn't had that feeling. Thinking of this, Cried Bean immediately said, "Wouldn't that be too obvious? If there were any opportunities to hide, do you think he wouldn't take them?"
"He wouldn't." Xin Lu said very definitely for no reason. This review made her feel like she had vaguely discovered something.
Hearing Xin Lu's affirmative tone, Cried Bean was also stunned. Xin Lu was able to invite him to help with this, so their relationship was obviously quite good. Cried Bean didn't want to have any disputes with Xin Lu, but he was very annoyed by this guy who was arrogant in name and person. So he said again, "Okay! I won't say anything more. But tell him not to slack off anymore. If he wants equipment, he has to show the corresponding skill."
Cried Bean's tone was disdainful. They were obviously in the same area and could hear each other, but he insisted on Xin Lu conveying the message, and he emphasized the words "slacking off" and "skill," not without sarcasm.
"You should fight seriously, don't slack off." Xin Lu said to Ye Xiu helplessly. Cried Bean's words were reasonable this time. In the guild's dungeon team, equipment was generally distributed by the team. If equipment that was needed dropped, there would be a ruling. Obviously, a performance like Ye Xiu's, where he was slacking off, would be directly excluded.
"Alright!"
The other party had said so much, but Ye Xiu only replied with two indifferent words. At least he was no longer almost sleeping on the keyboard.
He sat up straight, put his left hand, which had been supporting his chin, back on the keyboard, and adjusted his posture for holding the mouse with his right hand.
Chen Guo was sitting on the side, and she heard all of Ye Xiu's conversations. She was hoping that Ye Xiu would get fired up and OT over and over again, but she heard him just say two indifferent words, which, like the previous "serious slacking off," made Chen Guo feel extremely unhelpful. Feeling dissatisfied, Chen Guo immediately said, "You're not helping!"
"Huh?" Ye Xiu turned to look at her.
"You can endure being looked down upon like that? You're really going to slack off? You have to output, you have to explode, you have to aim for OT!" Chen Guo just wanted to see the horrified expressions on the faces of those who looked down on Ye Xiu when they saw that he could actually OT with this not-so-good character.
"How boring! If you were in my position, and the team gave you a chance to slack off, would you still fight seriously?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Of course I would fight seriously! Otherwise, how would I prove my strength?" Chen Guo said.
"Prove my strength?" Ye Xiu muttered, rummaging through his pockets and finally taking out a piece of torn paper from somewhere and throwing it to Chen Guo.
"What are you doing?" Chen Guo thought Ye Xiu was throwing garbage at her.
"Strength." Ye Xiu gestured for Chen Guo to take the torn paper.
Chen Guo picked it up and opened it. On it was written: Glory Professional Alliance, Third Season, Most Valuable Player: Ye Qiu.
This torn piece of paper was the Glory Professional Alliance's Most Valuable Player award certificate. It was definitely something that the players would carefully frame and put in the most conspicuous place with the MVP trophy. But now, Ye Xiu had crumpled it like a piece of trash and threw it to Chen Guo to look at.
"Why are you so annoying!!" Chen Guo was angry! She wanted to throw the torn paper back on Ye Xiu's head, and she even raised it, but she couldn't bear to.
But she finally understood what Ye Xiu meant. This torn paper was enough to prove Ye Xiu's strength, or rather, Ye Xiu's strength was so well-known that there was no need to prove it. He really didn't have the mentality of proving his existence in the dungeon with output. He was happy to have others call him out for slacking, freeloading, and getting experience and equipment.
But now, they didn't agree, so Ye Xiu became serious, at least in posture. But, expecting him to really get serious, Chen Guo believed that it was impossible, because if Ye Xiu really got serious, the team would probably not be able to handle it, unless they let him be the MT.
"Is everyone ready? We'll start the monster if you are," Cried Bean asked in the party chat. After hearing the others respond, he stepped forward toward the Boss.
But almost at the same time, a figure flashed to his side. Cried Bean twisted his view to see the disgusting name: Invincible Most Handsome.
"What are you doing!" Cried Bean shouted in anger, thinking that this guy was really going to start causing trouble at this time.
Chen Guo also became excited all of a sudden. Was Ye Xiu going to try to be the MT? Damn, let them see the strength of a god. This guy named Cried Bean should go cool off somewhere! Hearing your name, it's unlucky to be an MT! What kind of name is Cried Bean for an MT? Are you waiting to be blown up?
"Outputting!" But Ye Xiu still lightly said.
"Output after the MT opens the monster, don't you know?" Cried Bean was still angry. Not only Cried Bean, but everyone else was indignant. Obviously, all players knew that this was a big taboo, especially when facing a Boss fight. They should give the MT some time to establish stable aggro, and then the DPS should attack.
"Huh? Did I attack before you?" Ye Xiu asked, very puzzled.
Cried Bean turned his view back and saw the Bone Dragon Depths' first Boss, Guardian Kevin, raising his giant axe with both hands and striding towards him.
The aggro was still on Cried Bean, it hadn't changed. But that was only because Cried Bean had entered Guardian Kevin's aggro range first. If this Invincible Most Handsome attacked, the aggro would immediately change.
Thinking of this, Cried Bean hurriedly greeted him and attacked!
As a result, almost at the same time, Invincible Most Handsome also greeted him and attacked Guardian Kevin.
"Kick him out of the party!!" Cried Bean shouted to the captain, Xin Lu.
Xin Lu was also deeply suspicious of Invincible Most Handsome's actions. She was already opening the team panel when she heard the guy say helplessly, "What are you shouting about? The aggro is on you, isn't it?"
