He could type faster than he could speak with the APM of a pro player. It wasn’t difficult at all. But Ye Xiu couldn’t be bothered with typing right now. He wasn’t worried about typing slowly, but he was worried that Steamed Bun wouldn’t pay attention to the message if he sent one. Thus, he could only yell, "What 'eh'?"

"I can't see the guy!" Steamed Bun immediately shouted back.

"Is it an Invisibility Cloak? Be careful!" Ye Xiu called out.

"Got it." Steamed Bun’s voice was loud and clear.

"Do you two need to do this!" Chen Guo slammed the table.

"The wind's too strong. I can’t hear if I don't speak loudly," Steamed Bun explained quickly.

Ye Xiu was speechless. That wasn't the reason for speaking loudly! It was because the two of them weren’t in the same area, so they needed to transmit sound outside of the game, right? Through the headsets, of course they had to speak louder! What wind was too strong to hear? Ye Xiu realized that he had been a bit careless. He should have sat next to Steamed Bun. That would have been more convenient for understanding and communication.

"Kid, is it an Invisibility Cloak? I've already seen you. Come out now!" Steamed Bun said, already starting to use a mix of intimidation and enticement on his opponent.

"Ouch, an ambush! Bastard, watch me take care of you!"

"Ah, there's another one!"

"Yikes, another one!"

"What the heck, there's even more..."

Steamed Bun kept shouting, making even Chen Guo, who wasn’t even in the same map as them, nervous.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Chen Guo craned her neck, trying to see what was happening on Ye Xiu's screen.

Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was rushing on his way, not having arrived yet, so how could she see Steamed Bun? He reached out and pushed Chen Guo's head back. "Focus on your side."

"What's the situation like?" Ye Xiu asked Steamed Bun.

"Five petty thieves!" Steamed Bun said.

On Steamed Bun's side, he had initially only seen the player named Box, but very quickly, Box's companions arrived to support him. They were a five-person team of friends, originally acting separately, but after Box picked up a sock, the other four immediately came to support him, and coincidentally ran into Steamed Bun, who was there to snatch the sock. Without another word, they immediately started fighting.

In reality, they were just arriving one after another. It wasn't like Steamed Bun said, "an ambush."

"Ah yo, there's a heroic figure passing by who's willing to draw their sword to help!" Steamed Bun shouted again.

Ye Xiu thought, there's no such thing as a heroic figure. They’re probably just here to rob the Box for socks!

"Big brother, we're on the same side!"

Following that, Ye Xiu heard Steamed Bun enthusiastically greeting the "heroic figure."

Ye Xiu felt ashamed for Steamed Bun, but even he didn't expect that Steamed Bun's greeting would leave the other party completely bewildered.

That was because the team that arrived was a squad dispatched from Tyrannical Ambition. Players from big guilds made up a large portion of the current level 75 players, so in such random arrangements, it was possible to encounter one's own team. The guild had already instructed them that if they encountered their own team, both sides should work together to pursue overall achievement.

So now, when Steamed Bun jumped out and said, "Big brother, we're on the same side," the other party was especially dazed. They subconsciously said "Oh" and then regarded Steamed Bun as being from their Tyrannical Ambition team, immediately leading people up to cover him. Only after rushing up did they suddenly realize something. They turned their heads back to take a look: Steamed Bun Invasion!

What "same side"? This was the wolf from Happy!

Steamed Bun Invasion, as someone who had been following Ye Xiu's Lord Grim since the tenth server, had long been regarded by the major guilds as an extremely stubborn element.

"It's Happy, attack!"

The squad leader immediately reacted. Without another word, he didn't even try to snatch the sock from Box. He turned around and gave Steamed Bun Invasion a knife.

"You even hit your own people! How despicable!" Steamed Bun shouted.

Such a firm and unshakeable tone made the few from Tyrannical Ambition feel somewhat absentminded. Because characters in the Heavenly Domain could have the same name, to distinguish between two characters with the same name, besides looking at their class and equipment, the most reliable way was to look at the character ID. Every character had an ID, like a social security number. This character ID would never be repeated.

This strange name, Steamed Bun Invasion, they had never heard of before, let alone in their own guild! But now, Steamed Bun's confident tone made the few from Tyrannical Ambition feel dazed for a few more seconds.

But then they snapped back to their senses: "Bullshit! Our guild doesn't have anyone named Steamed Bun Invasion, attack!"

Bang!

They were the ones who shouted to attack, but they were also the ones who got attacked first. Just as they were pouncing towards Steamed Bun Invasion, a cannonball landed in the middle. Steamed Bun Invasion was unharmed, but the people from Tyrannical Ambition were all blown back by the blast. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had finally arrived.

"Lord Grim!"

The few from Tyrannical Ambition cried out miserably.

The name Lord Grim wasn't rare, but Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was too easy to recognize. Even without the unique unspecialized class in the data, just look at the character's appearance. A mix of various colorful styles. You couldn't find a second one like that in the Heavenly Domain.

"Retreat!"

The squad leader displayed his decisiveness. As soon as he saw Lord Grim arrive, he didn't even want the sock from Box. He took the lead and ran.

"You want to run when you see my boss coming? You despicable person!" Steamed Bun threw a brick over. The squad leader successfully dodged it while running, but he just couldn't understand how to explain Steamed Bun's words. Everyone was a competitor. It wasn't rare to hurl insults, but saying he was a despicable person was too unreasonable, right? He hadn't even had time to be despicable yet!

"Steamed Bun, don't chase." Ye Xiu stopped Steamed Bun. Then he turned the camera view again. The five-man team from Box didn't want to fight at all. Taking advantage of the opening, they had already escaped quite a bit.

"Hurry and chase over here," Ye Xiu called to Steamed Bun.

"Speed!" Steamed Bun didn't know who he was yelling at.

"Did you see them trade?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Huh?" Steamed Bun asked with a single word.

Ye Xiu decisively shut his mouth. Steamed Bun probably wouldn't notice such details. Because they were participating in a team competition, their leaderboard was ranked by team. Besides the system announcement when someone picked up a sock, if they traded or transferred it within the team, it wouldn't be announced by the system. The leaderboard only showed that their team possessed a sock. Whether or not it was still on the Box who picked it up earlier was hard to say.

This team of friends wasn't anything special, but they still had some brains. Ye Xiu immediately realized that the other team was scattering in different directions. He realized that the sock might have been secretly transferred and might not still be on Box.

"You keep an eye on Box, I'll chase the others!" Ye Xiu quickly arranged. Considering that the other party could be using a feint, the sock might just be on Box!

Box was lucky. He was the first to pick up a sock on this map, and he had picked up a Cloak of Invisibility before that.

So after picking up the sock, getting an announcement, and then encountering Steamed Bun again, Box decisively used the Cloak of Invisibility. Afterward, his friends arrived. The people who came to chase weren't just Steamed Bun. Ordinary players weren't as domineering as slaying gods when gods block, and slaying Buddhas when Buddhas block. At this time, all they were thinking about was protecting the sock they had picked up. So, given the opportunity, they immediately slipped away. The five people went in five directions, putting on a confusing formation. Anyway, dying didn't lose experience or equipment, so naturally everyone dared to sacrifice their small selves.

Which character had the sock?

Even someone as experienced as Ye Xiu couldn't guess this riddle. So after telling Steamed Bun to continue staring at Box, Ye Xiu made the simplest choice and chased the closest one.

The closest one was a Berserker. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim fired while moving, not affecting his precision at all. The Berserker player's skill was much rougher. Hearing the cannon fire behind him, the character jumped without turning his head. It was completely the operation of an ordinary player who didn't have a clear idea but felt that he had to do something at this time.

So this jump, combined with the shockwave of the explosion, scared the Berserker player. "Heh! I can actually fly so high!"

Then, when he landed, he wanted to do a recovery roll, but he didn't succeed. He triggered the animation halfway through, and his head disappeared into the snow, landing in a twisted manner.

Ye Xiu's Lord Grim rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Don't chase me, the sock isn't with me!" Seeing that he couldn't win by force, this player immediately used his brains.

"Oh? Then who has it?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't trade with him." As he said this, a flash of light suddenly rose from the snow, a sudden and unexpected sneak attack. However, Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was even faster. With a flick, it transformed into a spear, and a Dragon Tooth impaled the Berserker, making him stiff.

It was only at this moment that he clearly saw the name of the person in front of him. Lord Grim was the last to arrive. At that time, their team was already running, so no one paid much attention.

"Lord Grim!" This person shouted at once. Lord Grim was much more famous than Steamed Bun Invasion.

"It's me." Ye Xiu responded, but his operation didn't stop. He seized the time to find out if the other party had the sock.

"I watched your matches, you guys performed especially well," the other person called out.

"Really? Which match did you watch?" Ye Xiu asked casually.

"The one against Wuji."

"Really? How come I didn't see you?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Ah..." This person was at a loss for words because the Challenger League was watched by crowding into the arena rooms. The list of viewers was available, so you could see everyone who was watching. This person couldn't answer at this time, obviously because he didn't actually watch and didn't have the confidence.

Ye Xiu smiled and didn't take it to heart. Whether he watched or not couldn't stop him from continuing to kill. Socks were the theme right now.

The Berserker was no match for Ye Xiu. He was defeated in less than a minute. Ye Xiu saw that he wasn't lucky. There were no socks here. No wonder this person was talking so much. Maybe he wanted to distract him and delay time.

Ye Xiu turned Lord Grim's view and looked around. The others were nowhere to be found. The range of sight in this windy and snowy map was really bad.

"Did Steamed Bun catch up?" Ye Xiu had no choice but to continue the conversation with "the wind is too strong, so I have to speak loudly."

"Caught up, fixing him!" Steamed Bun responded.

"Location!" Ye Xiu didn't have a target here, so he decided to support Steamed Bun.
