Chapter 776: Unable to Be Serious
Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi
Chen Guo was someone, who did the things she said she would. After realizing this problem, she prepared to proactively resolve it, so she immediately called all of the members together to discuss their thoughts on the matter. As a result, the first meeting convened by Team Happyās owner began. When everyone got the news and heard that Chen Guo wanted to hold a meeting, everyoneās expression became strange. Chen Guo didnāt really feel like a boss. She felt more like the teamās nanny, dealing with all of the odd jobsā¦...
"Cough, the boss wants to hold a meeting. Everyone, take this a bit more seriously." Seeing that everyone wanted to laugh, Ye Xiu hastily gave a reminder.
As a result, everyone sat up straight, while Ye Xiu asked the employee, who told them the news: "Did the boss say where she was going to hold the meeting?"
"Oh, the room over there." The employee replied.
"Can we fit?"
"Weāve moved chairs into it." The employee answered.
She prepared especially for this! Everyone looked each other in the eye. Ye Xiu nodded his head: "Tell the boss that weāll be there immediately."
The employee left. Everyone continued to look at each other incredulously.
"What does she want?" Wei Chen couldnāt help but ask.
"Wonāt we know once we go?" Tang Rou got up and said.
They left the practice room together and went over to the area, where Chen Guo lived in. That area was separate from the rest of the second floor, but it wasnāt very large. The living room felt very crowded with so many people inside. Chen Guo was already in the room. She appeared very serious and nodded her head at seeing everyone arrive: "Everyoneās here."
The tea table in the living room was moved aside and the sofa was used. Along with other seats taken from the Internet Cafe, everyone had their own seat.
"Everyone sit down." Chen Guo called out and they took their seats. Chen Guo looked at all of them one by one. Midway through, she paused for a moment and seemed to hesitate, but she quickly moved on. Everyone was staring at her curiously. They noticed her pause and looked at who she had paused on: the person sitting on the right of Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng!
"Why are you here too? Go away! Youāre an enemy!" Ye Xiu shooed away Su Mucheng.
"Oh oh, is that whatās happening?" Su Mucheng immediately got up.
"Then why are there enough seats?" Wei Chen suspected. It meant that Su Mucheng had been calculated into the planning.
"Yeah!" Su Mucheng was also baffled.
"Sheās trying to sow dissension!" Wei Chen suddenly shouted.
"Youāre retarded!" Ye Xiu looked down in disdain.
Then, Su Mucheng discovered the issue: āMo Fan isnāt here."
"Itās normal for him not to be here. Heās not a team member, no?" Wei Chen said.
"I see that he practices very hard every day." Su Mucheng had been sitting together with Mo Fan, so she knew quite a bit about him.
"Iām sure heās already felt that the practice content is the real deal." Ye Xiu said.
"Heās not planning on practicing to become an expert, so he can take revenge, right?" Tang Rou said.
"Thatās possibleā¦.." Ye Xiu thought of Mo Fanās personality and couldnāt eliminate that possibility.
"Iāll go exterminate him." Steamed Bun got up and even picked up his chair.
"Force isnāt the answer." Ye Xiu said, "Is you alone enough?"
"Thereās Concealed Light too!" Steamed Bun grabbed Luo Ji. Even though Steamed Bun knew Luo Jiās real name, he was still used to calling him by his in-game ID. The two interacted with other fairly often, so it was a habit now. He wasnāt like Ye Xiu and the others, who didnāt see Concealed Light often in the game, so their familiarity with Luo Ji in real life was greater than their familiarity with his character in the game. As a result, it felt more natural for everyone else to call Luo Ji by his real name.
"I wonāt fight!" Luo Ji heard Steamed Bunās words and was scared white. He frantically dodged Steamed Bunās evil clutches.
"Itās just a joke..." An Wenyi laughed.
"It might not be for a certain someone!" Luo Ji emphasized. It wasnāt like he couldnāt tell that it was a joke, but it was hard to tell if Steamed Bun was actually joking or not.
"Okay okay, stop fighting." Su Mucheng said, "Iāll go over and get him. Iāll see if heāll come or not!"
Su Mucheng left after saying those words. Wei Chen immediately looked towards Chen Guo with a smile: "Boss, if thereās anything you want to say, you should say it now. It doesnāt matter if that guyās here or not. Iām afraid his sour face will ruin your mood."
"Whatās that smell?" Ye Xiu suddenly interrupted.
"What?" Everyone was puzzled.
"You guys donāt smell the scent of a dog kissing up to his master?" Ye Xiu asked.
Everyone laughed. Even Chen Guo couldnāt help but laugh too. She wanted this to be serious, but it looked like a serious atmosphere couldnāt be done with this team! Just look at that other day how such a serious topic, which crushed her heart, eventually devolved into a verbal fight between those two guys. She didnāt know what to say.
Sometimes, Chen Guo just couldnāt understand. Whenever Ye Xiu said anything serious, she wasnāt sure if he was actually trying to tell everyone something or if it was all just nonsense. Just like the other day. Ye Xiu said that those words were to question themselves on why they want to become pro players. It sounded very logical. But Wei Chen came over and turned into a quarrel. Ye Xiu also followed the flow and began quarreling too. Chen Guo couldnāt help but suspect that those words were just a fluke.
This God usually seemed to be indifferent and carefree, but from time to time, he would suddenly jump out to say very serious words. However, no one could properly digest the information in time before he returned to his usual carefree state, making everyone doubt whether he was just messing with them!
Canāt this guy just act normal for once? Chen Guo felt like she couldnāt be like him. She needed to be proper. But now she realized that it was quite difficult to say anything serious to this team. The atmosphere was never right! She had initially been trying hard, but not long afterwards, she was laughing alongside everyone.
"Weāre in a meeting! Everyone take this more seriously!" Wei Chen shouted.
"If thereās anything you want to say, you should say it." Ye Xiu said.
"Mm, it mainly has to do with what happened that day with Little Ming. That event made me seriously think about our current situation. Iām sure everyone already knows about our teamās strength, so I wonāt talk about it. I want to talk about the environment on the outside. City H is Excellent Eraās home field. Weāre right across street from Excellent Era. We can be considered as part of Excellent Eraās core region. Countless Excellent Era fans walk around here. My Internet Cafeās business is indebted to them. But now, weāve created a team that will need to fight to the death with Excellent Era, so in the majority of peopleās eyes, weāre the evil villain. We might receive curses and insults from numerous Glory fans. Iāve been running this Internet Cafe for so many years. Iāve streamed their matches before and understand what the fans can be like." Chen Guo said.
"Oh, this problem!" Wei Chen nodded his head. The old soldier was the first to speak, "This is certainly a problem. As for myself, I wonāt be affected in any way. This senior was still in the scene, these brats were still playing who knew what lame game! My worry is that you babies will cry, when everyone points their fingers at you."
"Point their fingers? Middle finger? We can just return the favor! Just like this!" Steamed Bun immediately pointed both his middle fingers at Wei Chen.
"Okay, itās not a problem for Steamed Bun. What about you guys?" Wei Chen said.
"I think itās more fun like that!" Tang Rou smiled.
"How aggressive!" Wei Chen praised. He turned to Qiao Yifan: "What about you?"
"I think I can deal with it." Qiao Yifan didnāt say too much. Even though he was an invisible player, he still came from a champion team, so his experience was very different from the other rookies.
"Mm, what about you two?" Wei Chen looked at Luo Ji and An Wenyi.
"Me? I have enough on my hands with those summoned creatures. I donāt have the energy to pay attention to any of that." Luo Ji said gloomily. Everyone laughed. Whenever Luo Ji summoned a bunch of creatures, he would turn into a mess and it would be a huge spectacle.
Finally, An Wenyi said: "I donāt think this is a bad thing. As an unknown team, we can ride on Excellent Eraās fame and get more attention that way."
"Woah, you little punk..." Wei Chen was speechless. He didnāt bother asking Ye Xiu. If Ye Xiu was bothered by stuff like this, how could he have become a God? A God had to stand over who knew how many butthurt fans. He had even won the championships three times. He wasnāt a senior, who would be easily affected by fans.
"Everyoneās prepared. I can relax then. My plan is this..." Chen Guo didnāt wait for Mo Fan and just started talking. At the practice room, when Su Mucheng returned, she saw Mo Fan playing the game as usual.
"Thereās a meeting. Why arenāt you going?" Su Mucheng went back to her seat and asked Mo Fan.
Mo Fan turned his head to look at Su Mucheng. They had been sitting together for several days now. It was hard to avoid contact. In Su Muchengās eyes, Mo Fan was practicing diligently. But in Mo Fanās eyes, this girl was just there as a pretty face. She never did any proper business. While everyone was practicing hard, if she wasnāt watching a TV show, she was playing some stupid game. She would even sometimes watch a show, while playing.
"Iām not going." Mo Fan glanced at Su Mucheng and then turned his head to continue playing the game. His reply said nothing.
"Howās practice going?ā Su Mucheng wasnāt going to bother arguing with him. Seeing that he was practicing, she asked casually.
"Good." Mo Fan said.
"Would you like me to help you practice?" Su Mucheng asked.
Mo Fan turned his head to look at Su Mucheng. His expression was filled with disdain: "You?"
"I canāt?" Su Mucheng smiled like a flower.
"Come!" Mo Fan returned to the city and went to the Arena.
Su Mucheng had already set up a room. She was using one of Ye Xiuās alternate accounts, a random Launcher with terrible equipment.
"Start." Mo Fan didnāt look at any of this and entered the room.
After a minute, Mo Fanās face was deathly pale. His Deception lay dead on the ground. His opponentās health bar hadnāt even dropped by 25%.
"Youāre not bad." Su Mucheng smiled like a flower just like before.
