Chapter 6 Shocking News

The next day at 11 am, in Xingxin Internet Cafe.

"Ye Shen... why is it that..."

"He is my faith! He clearly still has gas in the tank!"

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away..."

……

Sobbing, wailing and howling came one after another.

Listening to the long-lasting surround sound in the entire Internet cafe, Ye Xiu's mouth twitched stiffly.

It was this moment of distraction that caused the operation of his hands to be slightly distorted. In the game, the tip of the spear transformed from the Thousand Machine Umbrella tilted, and the combo was broken.

"Tsk..." Ye Xiu helplessly chopped off the BOSS in front of him with two knives, and used his free hand to put on the headphones.

It would have been fine if he didn't put it on. Once he put it on, the crying of Tian Qi, Xiao Yueyue and others came through the earphones and directly hit Ye Xiu's cochlea, causing pain in his eardrum.

This game is unplayable, Ye Xiu sighed.

I have to say it, but I have to sigh at the wonder of fate.

Clearly, because of Pei Yunteng's interference, Ye Xiu was delayed by an hour longer than the original timeline.

But he finally walked into the Xingxin Internet Cafe, helped Chen Guo defeat his opponent who had lost more than 80 games in a row (losing an extra hour), and became a small network administrator here with a monthly salary of 1,800 yuan.

Nothing seemed to have changed.

However, this statement is not absolute.

For example, perhaps because of the severe blow they suffered last night, Jia Shi moved up the press conference originally scheduled for noon to the morning.

So fans all over the country learned the breaking news of Ye Qiu’s retirement half a day in advance.

Although Excellent Era was intimidated by Pei Yunteng's scolding, it restrained itself a little this time.
Unlike the previous memorial service for Ye Qiu, which was held in the outrageous way of "joint remembrance", the main focus was on a disgusting one-stop funeral procession;
But the news of Ye Qiu's retirement alone is enough to make fans sad.

So, from morning till now, Ye Xiu had to endure the magic sound of countless people playing games.

Under such a debuff, even he made many low-level mistakes that he could not tolerate, which made him a little irritated.

As for his retirement, Ye Xiu, who had been promised a big, round, and delicious emperor-level pie by President Pei, had long forgotten the unpleasantness.

Anyway, Excellent Era's retribution had already arrived last night.

However, his calm demeanor somewhat annoyed others.

"You beast, don't you feel anything at all?" A choked female voice sounded viciously behind Ye Xiu.

As a die-hard fan of Excellent Era and Ye Qiu, Chen Guo was naturally shocked, angry and sad about Ye Qiu's retirement.

I originally planned to go to the entrance of the Internet cafe and cry for a while alone, but when I turned around, I saw the calm face of some bastard.

Not only did he not look sad at all, he seemed to be annoyed that the people in the Internet cafe were too noisy and were disturbing him from playing games.

The anger suddenly came up.

Ye Xiu raised his hands high in a French military salute: "Too much! Isn't this just playing games to escape reality?"

I do feel it. How can I not feel it when my eardrum is about to burst?

Chen Guo glared at Ye Xiu and was about to take it out on him.

At this moment, suddenly, in an inconspicuous corner of Xingxin Internet Cafe,

A shout filled with shock, rage, and disbelief rang out: "Fuck!"

This curse made the sobbing and crying in the entire Internet cafe stop abruptly, and countless angry and puzzled eyes were cast towards that corner.

"What are you yelling about? Do you have any manners? This is a public place!"

Chen Guo slammed the table, his anger finally found an object to vent on, and was about to explode.

The man yelled without caring, his face full of ferocious anger:
"Madam boss, check out the Xianyu short video, something big has happened!" "Ye Shen didn't retire voluntarily, he was forced to leave by those bastards from Excellent Era!"

“It’s going viral on Xianyu!”

After a few shouts, the entire Internet cafe fell into complete silence.

The anger on Chen Guo's face suddenly froze, replaced by a look of incredible shock.

The other customers in the Internet cafe were exactly the same as her.

A few seconds later, as if time started flowing again, everyone in the Internet cafe rushed to take out their mobile phones as if in a competition.

When I opened the Xianyu short video app, I found that the first video at the beginning had a shocking title:
"The inside story of the Fighting God's retirement? The entire Excellent Era team is incompetent, and Su Mucheng can't stand alone!"

When I clicked on it, I saw it was a recording with subtitles.

"Some people are old and out of date!"

"Ye Qiu, give One Autumn Leaf's account card to Sun Xiang!"

"Let go, Brother Ye. Look at your hands. They are shaking like this..."

"You will be the sparring partner first! You are the best sparring partner for Glory!"

"I don't think it's necessary, let's terminate the contract."

"Don't be impulsive!"

Although the video did not clearly identify who was who, except for Ye Xiu, the people involved were either frequent interviewees or influential figures in the game.

Excellent Era fans know their voices very well.

Chen Yehui and Liu Hao's bullying, Cui Li's greed and meanness, Sun Xiang's arrogance, Su Mucheng's insistence on reason...

And that voice that no one has ever heard but everyone knows whose it is, and that resolute determination of a hero cutting off his own arm.

The video ends with a text:
"Ye Qiu, the legend of Glory, was finally kicked out by the club he had played for for seven years, along with his teammates."

"He left with nothing. Almost all of his salary from his years of career was used to support the down-and-out older generation of professional players."

"According to gossip, after Ye Qiu left Excellent Era, he was forced to work at an Internet cafe near Excellent Era, as a night shift network administrator."

"I live in a cramped storage room, sleep on an uncomfortable iron bed, and earn 1,800 yuan a month."

"The glorious god did not get an ending worthy of him."

Silence, dead silence, the silence before the storm hits.

Someone shook his head frantically and muttered, "How dare Jia Shi, how dare Jia Shi? How dare Jia Shi! How dare Jia Shi!"

Someone tried to calm down and analyze the situation: "Everyone calm down! AI technology is very advanced nowadays. Maybe someone with ulterior motives is trying to frame Excellent Era?"

Of course, more people had already begun to bang tables and throw benches hysterically, using all the dirty words they had learned in their lives to curse the ancestors of everyone in Jia Shi except Su Mucheng.

Beside Ye Xiu, Chen Guo stared at the phone in her hand with her eyes wide open like a fierce Zhang Fei, and her body was shaking as if she had epilepsy.

Ye Xiu looked around as inconspicuously as possible, taking in every fan's reaction, feeling an indescribable touch in his heart.

This was the first time that he felt so intuitively how terrifying his influence was in the hearts of Glory players and Glory viewers.

With a complex arc at the corner of his mouth, Ye Xiu felt a little confused at this moment.

He didn't know how he should feel.

Are you happy? Are you disappointed? Are you angry? Are you happy? Are you relieved? Are you happy about other people's misfortunes?
It doesn't seem like either.

After a long time, Ye Xiu finally lit a cigarette for himself again, using the rising smoke to cover up his expression.

"...Great...Brother Pei..."
