Chapter 787 Can't Be Serious

Chapter 1375 A Meeting Called by the Boss

Chen Guo was a doer, plain and simple. Realizing the issue and preparing to actively deal with it, she immediately gathered the members to start planning. Thus, the first team meeting in the history of Team Happy, initiated by the boss, began. When they first received the message that the boss wanted to hold a meeting, everyone's expressions were strange. Chen Guo, as a boss, didn't really exude a strong presence. More like a team nanny, a general helper...

"Ahem, the boss said there's a meeting, everyone be serious." Seeing someone trying to laugh, Ye Xiu quickly reminded them.

So everyone sat up straight, and Ye Xiu asked the little internet cafe employee who delivered the message, "Did the boss say where to hold the meeting?"

"Oh, in that room over there," the little employee said.

"Will there be enough seats?"

"We brought chairs in," the little employee replied.

They even prepared! Everyone looked at each other again, and Ye Xiu nodded, "Tell the boss we'll be right there."

The little employee left, and everyone continued to look at each other.

"What's going on here?" Wei Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Won't we know once we go over?" Tang Rou said, getting up.

So a group of people left the training room and ran to Chen Guo's living quarters. This suite was partitioned off on the second floor and wasn't very big. The living room was now crowded with so many people, making it feel cramped. Chen Guo was already in the room, looking very serious. Seeing everyone arrive, she nodded, "Everyone's here."

The coffee table in the living room had been moved away. The sofa was used, and with the addition of chairs moved in from other parts of the internet cafe, there was just enough for everyone to have a seat.

"Everyone, sit down," Chen Guo greeted, and everyone chose a seat. Chen Guo's gaze moved over each person, pausing slightly in the middle, seeming hesitant. But it quickly passed. Everyone was staring at her with curiosity, and this pause was immediately noticed. Everyone followed the direction of her gaze and saw Su Mucheng sitting to Ye Xiu's right!

"How did you sneak in here! Get out, you enemy!" Ye Xiu tried to shoo Su Mucheng away.

"Oh, oh, is that how it is?" Su Mucheng quickly got up.

"Then why are there exactly enough seats?" Wei Chen questioned, implying that Su Mucheng was included in the count.

"Yeah!" Su Mucheng was also wondering.

"A counter-espionage plot!" Wei Chen suddenly shouted.

"Idiot!" Ye Xiu scorned.

But Su Mucheng had already discovered the problem, "Mo Fan isn't here."

"It's normal for him not to come. That kid probably still doesn't consider himself a member of the team, right?" Wei Chen said.

"I see him training quite diligently every day," Su Mucheng, who always sat with Mo Fan, knew quite a bit.

"The content of the training is genuine, he should feel it," Ye Xiu said.

"Could he be planning to become a master and then seek revenge on us?" Tang Rou said.

"It's possible..." Ye Xiu thought about Mo Fan's personality and felt that it couldn't be ruled out.

"I'll go destroy him right now." Bao Zi got up, even picking up a chair.

"Violence can't solve problems," Ye Xiu said, "Are you enough on your own?"

"There's also Steamed Bun!" Bao Zi went to grab Luo Ji. Although he already knew his real name, Bao Zi was still used to addressing him by his in-game name. They interacted more in the game, so he was used to the in-game name. Unlike Ye Xiu and the others, who didn't have many opportunities to call Steamed Bun by name, their familiarity with the character wasn't as great as their familiarity with the real person. So now, calling him by his real name didn't feel awkward at all. (They didn't, tmd, but I actually did a bit)

"I can't fight!" Luo Ji, hearing this, turned pale with fright and frantically dodged Bao Zi's clutches.

"Are you kidding me..." An Wenyi said with a smile.

"But it's not for some people!" Luo Ji emphasized. It wasn't that he couldn't tell it was a joke, but the problem was that Bao Zi didn't take it as a joke.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around," Su Mucheng said, "I'll go call him and see if he'll come!"

After Su Mucheng finished speaking, she went out. Wei Chen immediately put on a smiling face and said to Chen Guo, "Boss, you can tell us what's going on now. It doesn't really matter whether that guy comes or not. Looking at his stinky face, be careful it ruins your mood."

"What's that smell?" Ye Xiu suddenly said.

"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled.

"A bootlicking smell, didn't you guys smell it?" Ye Xiu said.

Everyone laughed, and even Chen Guo couldn't help it. She wanted to be serious, but it seemed that their team circle couldn't create such a solemn atmosphere! Look at that day, such a serious topic, she had been emotionally tormented, but after those two guys messed around, she didn't know what to say.

Chen Guo sometimes really couldn't figure out whether Ye Xiu was really telling everyone the truth when he said those particularly serious things, or if he was just spouting nonsense. Like that day, saying those things were for those of them who were going to become professional players sounded reasonable and like it made sense. But after Wei Chen interrupted so randomly, Ye Xiu also consciously went off-topic, and Chen Guo couldn't help but suspect that this guy was just pulling a few words out of thin air to fool them, right?

This god, who was usually so nonchalant and casual, would occasionally jump out and say something particularly serious and righteous that made a lot of sense. But the problem was that before everyone had time to digest it properly, this guy would quickly return to his usual casual state, making people particularly suspicious of whether those righteous words he had just said were genuine or just teasing everyone!

This person, can't he just speak properly? Chen Guo felt that she couldn't be like him, she had to speak seriously and properly. But now that she had to face it, she realized that it was really difficult for their team circle to say some serious things. The atmosphere just wasn't right! She had been trying to hold it in at first, but after a while, she was the one leading the laughter.

"We're having a meeting! Be serious!" Wei Chen, on the other hand, was shouting seriously.

"What's the matter? Just say it," Ye Xiu said.

"Well, it's mainly that incident with Little Ming the other day that made me seriously consider our current situation. I won't talk about the team's strength, everyone knows it already. The main thing is the external environment. H City is originally Jia Shi's home ground, and we are now in the internet cafe diagonally opposite Jia Shi. It can be said that this place is the core area of ​​Jia Shi's influence. Countless Jia Shi fans are scattered here every day, and my internet cafe business also relies heavily on their support. And now, we have formed a team and, unfortunately, we have to fight Jia Shi to the death. So, in the eyes of most people, we may be the big villains. We may be cursed, despised, and ridiculed by countless Glory players here. I have been running this internet cafe for many years. Before, I always broadcasted Jia Shi's games. I know very well the attitude of Jia Shi fans towards their opponents," Chen Guo said.

"Oh, this problem!" Wei Chen nodded, and as an old-timer, he immediately wanted to be the first to speak, "This problem definitely exists. Personally, I won't be affected in any way. When this old man was dominating Glory, these kids didn't even know which kimchi game they were playing! It's you little brats who will be pointed at by thousands of people and start crying, right?"

"Pointed at by thousands of people? Middle finger? We can return the favor to them! Like this!" Bao Zi immediately gave Wei Chen two middle fingers in a particularly imposing manner.

"Alright, Bao Zi has no problem. What about you guys?" Wei Chen said.

"I think it's quite interesting," Tang Rou said with a smile.

"Dominating!" Wei Chen praised, and then turned to Qiao Yifan, "What about you?"

"I think I can handle it," Qiao Yifan didn't say much, just expressed his attitude. Although he was a nobody, he came from a championship team and had seen different scenes, so he had some experience.

"Well, what about those two classmates?" Wei Chen looked at Luo Ji and An Wenyi.

"Me? Those summoned beasts are enough to keep me busy. I really don't have the energy to pay attention to these things," Luo Ji said depressedly. Everyone laughed. Luo Ji summoning a large number of summoned beasts and then frantically operating them was a great sight.

When it came to An Wenyi in the end, he said, "I think this isn't all bad. As an unknown team, this is a good opportunity for us to hitch a ride on Jia Shi's fame and generate more attention."

"Uh, you brat..." Wei Chen was a little speechless. As for Ye Xiu, he didn't even bother to ask him. If Ye Xiu was affected by these things, would he still be a god? A god's rise to power meant that the corpses of countless gods and the glass hearts of fans were lying below. This guy had risen to the top three times, so he would never be easily affected.

"Everyone is mentally prepared, so I'm relieved. My plan is like this..." Chen Guo didn't wait for Mo Fan and started talking directly. In the training room, after Su Mucheng went back, she saw that Mo Fan was still in front of his computer, playing the game as usual.

"We're having a meeting, why didn't you go?" Su Mucheng sat back in her seat, next to Mo Fan, and then asked.

Mo Fan turned his head and glanced at Su Mucheng. After sitting together these days, they inevitably observed each other. In Su Mucheng's eyes, Mo Fan trained hard and diligently. But in Mo Fan's eyes, this beauty was just a vase, a mere passerby. She didn't do anything serious all day. When everyone was training hard, she was either watching soap operas or playing some particularly mindless little games, sometimes watching and playing at the same time, not neglecting either.

"Not going." Mo Fan glanced at Su Mucheng and then turned back to continue the game, giving a completely meaningless answer.

"How's the training going?" Su Mucheng didn't bother him with that question and casually asked him as she watched him train.

"Very good," Mo Fan said.

"Do you want me to practice with you?" Su Mucheng asked.

Mo Fan turned his head and glanced at Su Mucheng again, his eyes full of contempt, "You?"

"Can't I?" Su Mucheng smiled like a flower.

"Come on!" Mo Fan returned to the main city and went to the arena.

Su Mucheng had already opened a room, using one of the alt accounts that Ye Xiu and the others had bought in bulk, a random Gunner, and the equipment was naturally not worth mentioning.

"Start." Mo Fan didn't even look at this, and he was ready to start as soon as he entered the room.

A minute later, Mo Fan's face was pale. His Deception had completely fallen to the ground, while his opponent's health had dropped by less than a quarter.

"You fought well." Su Mucheng's smile was still as beautiful as a flower.
