Chapter 1157

Wei Chen was still outside, lost in thought, when the training room door opened again. Xiao Shiqin hurried out, and Ye Xiu followed, urging, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay and play a bit longer!"

"No need, no need." Xiao Shiqin hastily declined. "I have to get back; there are still a lot of things to do at the team. It's not good to be out for too long."

"What could be the matter when everyone's on vacation?" Wei Chen immediately chimed in. "Stay and play a bit!"

Xiao Shiqin's expression was like a bitter gourd. "I just arrived; there's still so much I need to learn!"

"Is that so?" Ye Xiu chuckled.

Xiao Shiqin was frustrated! Logically, given his purpose for coming, he should be overjoyed at being politely urged to stay! It would be great to stay and observe more information. But now? When people were really doing that, Xiao Shiqin was eager to leave with a bitter face. Especially Ye Xiu's chuckling "Is that so?" made him feel like he had been seen through. He knew that the other party had definitely guessed his intention, but the problem was, if no one pierced through this layer of paper, wouldn't everyone have to continue pretending?

As a result, Xiao Shiqin was finding it difficult to even pretend, and he just wanted to leave quickly. If he didn't leave now, what if they brushed a Boss in a while? Should he fight or not?

Just as he was saying this, Xiao Shiqin's pocket vibrated with music; his phone was ringing. Xiao Shiqin was excited! He quickly took out his phone, signaled to Ye Xiu and Wei Chen that he had to take a call, didn't say much more, waved his hand randomly, and hurriedly ran off while answering the phone with a "Hello, hello, hello."

"Busy?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

Xiao Shiqin had already rushed to the stairs and casually asked, "Who is this?"

"Me, Zhang Xinjie."

*Clang, clang, clang, clang…*

Xiao Shiqin's phone fell down the stairs, tumbling all the way down. The stairs at Happy Internet Cafe were pretty standard, just wooden planks put together, and the phone made a loud noise as it fell, hitting the bottom in a flash, the back cover and battery flying off.

By the time Xiao Shiqin had picked everything up, the call had, of course, been cut off by the fall. What else could Zhang Xinjie be calling about? Of course, it was to ask him why he had gone to work for Ye Qiu. Logically, if they were both participating in the Challenger League, wouldn't they be competitors?

This was not easy to explain! Xiao Shiqin was conflicted. Was he supposed to tell the truth and say that he had shamelessly hung around their training room to gather information?

Xiao Shiqin hesitated and reassembled the phone. There were several cracks on the screen, causing another pang of heartache. He tried turning it on, and luckily, it wasn't broken and could still be turned on. As soon as the SIM card was read, the phone rang again, the name flashing: Zhang Xinjie.

"Hello," Xiao Shiqin said as he left the internet cafe.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xinjie asked.

"The phone fell on the ground," Xiao Shiqin knew that his "what's going on" was definitely asking about this matter.

"You were the one directing Zhaohua and He Wu, right?" The question that was bound to come finally came.

"It was me," Xiao Shiqin said.

"Why did you run over to their side?" Zhang Xinjie indeed had a lot of questions about Xiao Shiqin's position.

"Well, isn't there a chance we'll meet in the Challenger League? I came to test the waters!" Xiao Shiqin finally told the truth.

"Oh? How are things on his side?" Zhang Xinjie asked.

"Mostly rookies," Xiao Shiqin said. He ultimately didn't forget his original intention. While commanding the battle, he still paid attention to collecting a lot of information. Tang Rou and Baozi were now quite skilled in Glory. If this were seen by online game players, they would definitely think these two were experts and would never think they were newbies.

Indeed, for online game players, how could someone still be a newbie after playing for more than half a year? Online games that are too difficult to get started with also have a hard time finding a market!

But Xiao Shiqin's observation of them was based on the standards of professional players. Looking at it from this professional perspective, it was too short to have only been in contact with Glory for seven months. Xiao Shiqin quickly saw that they were still unfamiliar with many aspects of Glory. For the professional circle, this was frighteningly new, even if both of them had quite outstanding operations.

Then there was Qiao Yifan, the guy that even Boss Tao Xuan valued. Xiao Shiqin looked at him and thought that although his phantom demon was good, it wasn't to the point where he needed to be particularly wary. Perhaps this guy didn't show his full strength when fighting ordinary players in the game?

Xiao Shiqin carefully noted the performance of these few people on Happy's side, and that was roughly his conclusion. Tang Rou and Baozi were relatively easy, and he quickly saw through their tricks. Qiao Yifan, on the other hand, made Xiao Shiqin think carefully for a while, and he didn't dare to draw any conclusions lightly in the end. Zhang Xinjie, on the other hand, casually said after hearing Xiao Shiqin say that they were all newbies, "Newbies, those are hard to grasp."

"Yeah," Xiao Shiqin agreed. In fact, this was also the reason why he didn't continue to linger in Happy's training room. If he could really dig up more information, he wouldn't mind helping them fight Bosses. Anyway, robbing once was robbing, and robbing twice was also robbing. Would robbing one or two wild Bosses have any fatal impact on Excellent Era? Xiao Shiqin didn't really believe it.

However, after seeing these three people's performance, Xiao Shiqin felt that there was no need to stay any longer.

Zhang Xinjie said that newbies were hard to grasp, and Xiao Shiqin understood this very well. Moreover, Tang Rou and Baozi were definitely the most difficult types of newbies to grasp. Because they weren't just newbies to the professional circle, they hadn't been in contact with Glory for long either. Being so new also meant that there was still a lot of room for improvement. Everyone has different personalities and talents, and no one can say how long it will take to improve. For these rookies, understanding the present is useless; what is needed is long-term tracking and observation of their growth. As for Qiao Yifan, the foundation of his Glory was quite solid at first glance, as expected of someone from a championship team like Tiny Herb. But the level he showed still had a lot of room for improvement, or was it just a small test in the game? Either way, Xiao Shiqin couldn't see anything by continuing to stay.

"But it seems like Ye Qiu's side is doing pretty well! You're so wary that you went to test him out yourself," Zhang Xinjie said.

"It's never a bad thing to be careful! After all, he's Ye Qiu," Xiao Shiqin said.

"Yes…" Zhang Xinjie echoed, and after a few more casual chats, they ended the call. Zhang Xinjie's call was mainly because he suspected Xiao Shiqin was helping Ye Qiu. Now that he knew he had just run into them and helped out temporarily, he was relieved. If two tactical masters were really working together against him, Zhang Xinjie would have to re-plan everything.

The two sides got what they needed and ended the call. The atmosphere in Happy's training room was tense, but Wei Chen was missing.

"Do you think it will succeed?" Chen Guo operated the game, but she was completely absent-minded, staring straight at the game and suddenly asked Ye Xiu.

"From our current theoretical understanding, there is no reason for failure," Ye Xiu said.

"What if it fails?"

"Find the reason and correct it," Ye Xiu said.

"Hehe." Baozi actually laughed and said, "Do you even need to say such a simple thing that even kids understand?"

Chen Guo was half dead with anger, but she couldn't do anything about it. Indeed, admitting mistakes and correcting them was something that even kids understood, right?

After a long time, Chen Guo couldn't sit still anymore. She ran to open the door of the training room and peeked out, then kept muttering, "Why isn't it done yet?"

In the final, most tense moment, in order to avoid disturbing Wei Chen, they simply opened a private room for him, allowing him to work quietly. The remaining people were still in the training room, and the scene was a bit like waiting for news from the delivery room.

After who knows how long, the door of the training room creaked open from the outside.

Wei Chen had a cigarette in his mouth, looking smug, not at all hiding the joy of success, and just walked in.

For a moment, even Chen Guo, who was the most restless, was a little dazed. Because she was the most impatient, she had the most thoughts. Guessing Wei Chen's shameless personality, she thought that this guy would definitely pretend to be unsuccessful even if he succeeded, deliberately returning in a depressed mood to tease everyone's feelings. She didn't expect this guy to walk in so happily. Although his smug look made people want to slap him, Chen Guo couldn't care less at this moment.

"It's done?" Chen Guo widened her eyes, still hoping to get confirmation.

"Hmph, is there even a need to say?" Wei Chen's contemptuous look made it seem like he had just completed an easy task. This was a disregard for the tense mood of everyone in the room, completely forgetting that before the success, his own tension was the greatest of them all.

So that's where the shamelessness was! Chen Guo thought hatefully. Then she saw Wei Chen swagger into the room, taking big puffs of smoke. Chen Guo endured it and didn't speak. Then she saw this guy flick his hand smartly, and his Windward Formation (ying feng bu zhen) warlock account card was flicked onto the table.

"Go see for yourself!" Wei Chen said arrogantly.

Keep enduring! Chen Guo silently went over and picked up the account card, swiped the card, logged in, and Ye Xiu also came over.

The character was still in the arena. She didn't know if this guy had bullied some ordinary players again after this upgrade was finished. Chen Guo glanced at Wei Chen with contempt, opened the character's equipment, and moved the mouse cursor to the weapon.

All attributes were comprehensively improved, successful beyond successful. Finally, there was another attribute of skill rank +1. This was the final attribute that all silver weapons would have after researching how to add skills to weapons.

"Death's Door? How cliche!" Ye Xiu commented on this. Death's Door was the warlock's ultimate move, and using a valuable skill rank increase opportunity on the ultimate move was obviously the most common method.
