……
All of the popular teams had advanced to the Top 64, and today's tournament finally ended after a day of fighting. Tomorrow, Floating Ice City would have a great battle!
I looked at the official forums. The tournament for the Top 64 would start at 1 in the afternoon!
”Lu Chen, go rest!”
A beautiful researcher appeared. She had been taking care of me these days so we had become familiar with each other.
”Tonight at 8, the doctors will come inspect you. If there are no abnormalities, we will send you off to Suzhou tomorrow!”
“Oh, thank you!” I nodded and smiled.
She took the computer from my hand and said with a smile, ”You gaming experts can't live without a computer. I think you shouldn't bother getting a girlfriend, just marry a computer!”
I laughed softly. ”Fine. But it has to have a good setup. At least eight-core CPU, 64 GB RAM, huge NVMe drive...”
”Oh my~”
She lowered the bed and tucked in my blankets. She said, ”How about you sleep for a while. Even two IV tubes can’t stop your mouth...”
I laughed and lay down. After she left, I couldn't sleep.
I took out my phone and sent a message to Murong Mingyue: ”Are you free now? Can I call you?”
A few seconds later, Murong Mingyue called. After accepting, a pleasing voice came over—
”Lu Chen, what is it? Right, I didn't see you attend the Bloody Mercenaries matches this afternoon. What happened, hmm?”
”Cough cough, nothing. Something came up and I decided to let them gain some battle experience. Sister Mingyue, I called to chat about the main forces of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.”
”Oh...” Murong Mingyue seemed to have guessed that I would say these things and laughed. ”Spring Mud, Moon Shadow, and Night Sorrow were originally the main force of a workshop called the Ego workshop. They were a group of people based in Floating Ice City. They’ve garnered some fame and Eve thought they were pretty good so she invited them to join Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.”
I nodded. ”So that's how it is. But when I watched your battle, I found that Spring Mud seems to be in conflict with Xu Yang...”
”Yes.”
Murong Mingyue said helplessly, ”I don’t get you men. You seem to be born to fight. Yesterday, in the work area, Xu Yang almost fought Spring Mud and the others...”
I was silent for a few seconds and said, ”Sister Mingyue, what does boss think about this?”
”Eve doesn’t know about it at the moment. She flew to India for a regional meeting, and will return in about three days. If she knew the situation, the world would be in chaos. I plan to quench the fire by the time she gets back. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls lack talent so much right now, and my hands are tied. Lu Chen, if only you were here~~”
I looked at my healing body and said with a smile, ”Don't worry. I’ll return soon. It won’t be long. Work hard, Sister, Mingyue!”
”Yes yes! Right, are you attending the Top 64 tournament tomorrow?”
”Yes, of course, definitely!”
”Okay, see you then!”
”Alright, see you tomorrow!”
