Chapter 161 - It Isn’t Easy Being an Expert (2/2)
“Okay, okay. No hurry. Ladies first.” Steamed Bun Invasion said.
“We still have two more runs. Maple Tree, are you still going?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Oh…. me……” Maple Tree was now happily chatting with his friends and guild, so he didn’t really want to go. But they had just helped him set a record, so if he just suddenly turned his head and refused them, that wasn’t too good right?
Maple Tree was suffering over his decision, when Ye Xiu said: “Then we’ll continue!”
As he said that, the four players had already left the party and made their own party on the side. They then left Full Moon Guild too.
“Wha……” Maple Tree wanted to say something, when the four directly entered the dungeon. They didn’t even find someone else to add.
So my contact with these experts ended just like this? Maple Tree was suddenly at a loss.
The dungeon continued. Only having four players wasn’t a problem for these experts. Since they weren’t trying to set the record this time, they went around the entire map and killed every monster in every nook and cranny of the castle. Even excluding the fact that the dungeon BOSS always dropped a Blue or higher equipment, the dungeon was still the most profitable place, whether it be in money or experience, the rewards were much greater than in a leveling area. For most of the players, they could let go of not doing other things, but they had to use up all of their dungeon entries. The current dungeons could still be done three or four times, but the higher leveled the dungeon or the larger the scale of the dungeon, the fewer entries they would have. There would even be some dungeons that could only be run once a week. The progress was saved, but they were dungeons that couldn’t be completed in a single day.
After clearing all of the monsters, they had to clean up the BOSS. This time, Ye Xiu wasn’t dedicated again and didn’t fight Toya with all he had like last time. He was the same as yesterday, just casually directing everyone and played with Toya from time to time.
“Hey, why aren’t you playing seriously!” Tang Rou had objections. She didn’t like it when people were hiding their strength.
“You mean like last time?” Ye Xiu said.
“Obviously.”
“I’m already old. How can I always play like that? You youngsters have more strength.” Ye Xiu said.
“How old are you!” Tang Rou was angry.
“In terms of eSports, I really am pretty old.” Ye Xiu said.
“So what? You can clearly play very well.” Tang Rou said.
“Look at it like this.” Ye Xiu said, “The theory is the same as in other sports. Young people grow stronger and rely on their bodies to win. But after a few years, they have to rely on their experience and knowledge. They have to use their brains to win. Against young players’ bodies, they could occasionally compete with them, but if they frequently clashed, they would only shorten their lifespan as an athlete. It’s the same as in eSports. Using extremely fast hand speed to compete in mechanics, that’s the style of you young players. But for people my age, it’s better if we do that less.” Ye Xiu said.
“It can’t be that exaggerated.” Tang Rou said.
“In a few years, you’ll understand. Do you really think being an expert is that easy?” Ye Xiu laughed.
As a result, Tang Rou didn’t say anything more and continued to fight BOSS Toya. Ye Xiu didn’t fully exert himself either. His overall performance was about the same as Tang Rou. Because of this, they had some trouble finis.h.i.+ng Toya off.
They didn’t add anyone else and they once again went in as four. Afterwards, they finished using up all of their Desolate Land entries.
“Everyone, I’ll be going off first!” Su Mucheng said habitually. Once they finished the dungeon runs, she would go offline first.
Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion said their farewells. Ye Xiu obviously wouldn’t say anything. Su Mucheng was practically sitting next to him! He took off his headphones and turned his head to ask: “Are you going back?”
‘Yup! I’m going back!” Su Mucheng also took off her headphones. She logged out of the game and mouse, ready to shut down the computer.
“NO NO NO! That’s the server computer, my young lady. Please don’t shut that down!” Ye Xiu sweated madly. He almost charged at Su Mucheng to stop her.
“Oh, I forgot.” Su Mucheng also jumped in fright. She also knew what would happen if she shut down the server computer. It was just that she was so used to shutting down her computer, so she forgot.
“So dangerous.” Ye Xiu wiped away some sweat. Su Mucheng was a pro-player. Her hand speed was fast. It was lucky that he was even faster.
“I’ll be going then!” Su Mucheng got up and saw Ye Xiu turn off the computer monitor.
“See you!”
“I don’t know when I can come next time. The Internet Cafe still is really dangerous, right?” Su Mucheng said.
“Yup!” Ye Xiu nodded.
“Sigh, I’ll be off then.” Su Mucheng regretfully left the reception desk.
“Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Okay!” Su Mucheng quickly came back.
“We have Braised Beef, Mushroom Chicken, Tomatoes and Eggs, Pickled Pork, Shrimp, Fish, all kinds of different instant noodles. Which one would you like?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Oh….. I’ll take the Mushroom Chicken.” Su Mucheng thought hard before replying.
“Wait just a moment……” Ye Xiu had already gotten the Mushroom Chicken noodles and went to get boiling water.
