Chapter 1 The sound of silence continued in the internet cafe. It was a constant state, starting from when Dashing Guy's Fengchen Xiaosa (Roguish Elegance) was launched into the air by Cold Smoke Soft's Tianji (Dragon Tooth) and from the first day Team Happy was besieged by players' challenges.

The two large characters "Glory" on the projection screen were so glaring in everyone's eyes, and Dashing Guy felt ashamed.

But he was not convinced. He felt he was capable, but just didn't quite get into it, unable to fully display his skills. Maybe his fingers weren't warmed up yet? Or maybe he had underestimated his opponent a little.

"Oh, not bad, not bad? Looks like I need to get serious." Dashing Guy quickly said this to save face.

There wasn't a single voice of support from the audience.

The others didn't know what Dashing Guy was experiencing. In their eyes, Dashing Guy had been on the defensive the entire time, being led by the nose and beaten until he died. This was probably a difference in skill, not a matter of being serious or not, right?

Anxious to regain his presence, Dashing Guy quickly pressed "Ready" again. He was a little worried that his opponent wouldn't accept. But the other party was considerate of his feelings, immediately preparing as well, starting another round of one-on-one combat.

This time, he had to be serious.

Dashing Guy told himself this.

The screen widened, and the two characters quickly became entangled.

Dragon Tooth, Tianji, Falling Flower Palm, Circle Dance…

Magic crests flew everywhere, and the Battle Mage's Dou Zhe Yi Zhi (Battle Spirit) emitted golden magical battle aura.

Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart, Tyrannical Dragon Destroys the Army, Crouching Dragon Ascends to Heaven…

Cold Smoke Soft fought more and more bravely.

Looking at Dashing Guy's side… rolling, rolling, still rolling. Apart from exchanging a few skills with his opponent at the very beginning, Fengchen Xiaosa had been rolling around on the ground. This scene seemed even worse than the last one, right?

Finally, the projection screen was once again filled with the two characters "Glory". The internet cafe fell silent. Dashing Guy dejectedly pushed aside the keyboard, stood up, turned his gaze, and found everyone was looking at him. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start. His opponent should be pretty strong, right? But how could they be this strong?

Dashing Guy was a little dazed at this point, remembering his high spirits when he first arrived. Now, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The other seven experts were also a little uneasy at this point. Dashing Guy lost two games in a row, and no matter what the reason, the two defeats were equally miserable. That said a lot. Accidents or coincidences were unlikely to happen twice in a row, right? Moreover, Dashing Guy himself had already stood up, meaning he knew he had been beaten.

Although the experts were quite dissatisfied with each other and thought they were the best, it would be very difficult for them to create such an overwhelming situation in a one-on-one fight.

Dashing Guy had already stepped down, so who would go next?

The seven people looked at each other, seeing avoidance in each other's eyes. Yes, none of them wanted to go up again.

The players who had invited the experts and were now watching were also speechless. They didn't expect Cold Smoke Soft to be so powerful. They had thought that inviting these well-known experts would be enough to hold the fort. But Dashing Guy seemed to have lost no better than if they had gone up themselves. What level was this Cold Smoke Soft at?

The scene froze. The experts, along with the players who had invited them, didn't care about face for the moment and gathered together to whisper to each other. They could no longer hide the embarrassment that Cold Smoke Soft had brought them, so they had to start discussing countermeasures in front of everyone.

Chen Guo saw all of this and was very happy! It was a little difficult for Boss Chen to hide such a strong feeling. She silently calmed down for a while, making sure that she wouldn't burst out laughing as soon as she opened her mouth, and then went over and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to come?"

What an ordinary sentence! But saying it to this group of people at this time was no different from slapping them in the face. Everyone saw that they were the eight great experts, but now one had been defeated, and the other seven were all shrinking back, what a disgrace!

Even so, the seven great experts were determined not to play one-on-one again. They didn't want to end up like Dashing Guy. He was originally the most high-spirited of the eight, but now he was silent and cautious in the crowd.

"Well, let's just leave the one-on-one fights at that!" At this time, someone in the player crowd finally spoke. This was clearly an evasive remark, so it wouldn't be the experts who said it. The guys who invited these people would have to take the blame for saying such dirty words.

"I think we should just have a team competition? It seems like we haven't had a team match in the past few days, have we?" the person said.

This was the solution they had come up with. Cold Smoke Soft was very strong, especially strong. Going up one-on-one was just asking for abuse. Having such a strong person in the ring was also difficult to win. So the only way to regain their reputation was to have a team competition. After a group of people discussed it together, they suspected that Team Happy was just relying on this particularly strong person to support the team. In a team competition, the strong person might be held back by pig-like teammates!

"Team competition? No problem!" Chen Guo agreed very readily again, and everyone's faces immediately became uncertain. Chen Guo didn't pretend at all, not arrogant, but not low-key either, with an honest attitude. When everyone saw this, they immediately felt that this team couldn't be too weak!

But the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible not to fight. Dashing Guy, who had already played a one-on-one match, declined after some hesitation, with a sufficient reason not to go up again. Of the remaining seven experts, there could always be one who didn't have to play. So the seven people suddenly became very humble. It was just a pity for the priest among the seven great experts. Being humble had nothing to do with him. As the only healing class among the eight, he had no reason not to play in the team competition.

After letting each other go back and forth for five minutes, they finally decided on six people. According to the standards for team competitions in professional matches, five people would play and one would be a substitute. The room had also been changed to a team competition.

Team Happy. The five players were Cold Smoke Soft, Steamed Bun Invasion, Windward Formation, One Inch Ash, Little Hand Cold, and the substitute... the substitute hadn't arrived yet. Everyone was still waiting, but after the six people from the internet cafe were ready, the competition started directly. Team Happy didn't plan to use a substitute at all.

Five against six… Although the six people wouldn't be on the field at the same time, the advantage was still very large. How could Team Happy be so confident?

The onlookers in the internet cafe were in an uproar, and the fierce battle had already begun. It was a team fight between ordinary players, so there was no particularly sophisticated tactics. And the most common mistake was that everyone thought they were right, and everyone else's intentions were particularly idiotic. This problem wasn't easy to expose when things were going smoothly, but once in a difficult situation, the possibility of such a flame war was very high.

So, one and a half minutes after the start of the team competition, a wonderful flame war began in Happy Internet Cafe.

"I操, where are you going, Judoka! Do you understand controlling the healer?" Expert One took the lead, scolding the Judoka player among the six. He believed that it was an incredibly stupid move for the Judoka not to kill the other team's healer first.

"I 操, are you blind? The healer is being protected. Can I charge over there alone? What am I keeping you for? Mage, provide fire cover!" The Judoka player explained, while passing the problem to the elemental mage.

"日, there's no one providing cover for spellcasting. You want me to provide fire cover? Open your eyes and see if I've cast a complete spell? Do you even know how to play?" The elemental mage was quite domineering, launching a map-wide attack. The expert that the players at Happy Internet Cafe had spent so much effort to find was being questioned for "knowing how to play."

"Motherfucker, none of you know how to play. Only you do. Mages just stand there and cast spells like you? Even a dog could do that!" Someone who was caught in the map-wide attack immediately became unhappy.

"日, be polite when you talk. Do you think I want to stand still? I'm being pinned down. How am I supposed to move?" the elemental mage defended himself.

Everyone wasn't really watching the match. They were just listening to the experts cursing each other. The general idea was "You're an idiot, he's an idiot, everyone except me is an idiot."

Looking at the scene again, everyone was in tears. Did they think they could gain an advantage in the team competition? Now everyone knew that was just wishful thinking. The team competition was no better than the one-on-one fights. And seeing the experts blaming each other and cursing each other for playing badly completely shattered their image. The expert who was fortunate enough not to play was secretly celebrating that he had stubbornly refused to fight. The loss of face was so great that if there were Glory players on Mars, they would probably send an alien message to ridicule them.

"Steady, steady, steady!" Someone was still shouting, but he was greeted with four snorts. When things got to this point, anyone who spoke would be despised by the other four.

Soon, the first five people fell, and the substitute automatically entered, but that didn't bring about any change. Predictably, all six experts became corpses. What about the opposing five? Let's not talk about the dead people. Everyone was too embarrassed to look at the extent to which the opposing team's health bars had decreased. In a team competition, a complete victory wasn't just about not losing any health or having any members die. This battle was a real and complete victory for Team Happy.

"操, what are we playing for!"

As soon as the battle stopped, one expert angrily stood up, with a look that said it wasn't his fault, but that his teammates were too idiotic. He turned around and left.

The original plan was to expose the weak players in Team Happy and drag down the whole team. But now, each of their team members felt that others had dragged them down.

The one who took the lead in getting angry didn't say goodbye to anyone and rushed out of Happy Internet Cafe. The remaining few were also angry! They didn't like looking at each other either. Dashing Guy was secretly laughing at the side, finding that the saying "misery loves company" was too right. It was better to be embarrassed together than to be embarrassed alone!
