Chapter 3 – Special Duty: Night Shift
Win?
Chen Guo was dumbfounded for a moment . The word that flashed on the screen, Glory, was the Arena's victory symbol meaning “K . O . ” .
Only, she had only left for how long? 40 seconds? 50 seconds? Chen Guo lifted her wrist and looked down at her watch . It definitely hasn't been a minute yet . But the result? The opponent I had lost to 52 times in a row was defeated in less than a minute?
Chen Guo even forgot to rush up and snatch back her account . She wanted to see if this person could duel again for her to examine properly . But in the end, she saw that the person had already logged-out of the game . He stretched out his arms as if he weren't too interested in the computer and glanced around left and right . Turning his head, he saw Chen Guo looking at him with wide eyes and hurriedly explained: “You hadn't logged out yet and when I sat down, the fight had already started . Don't worry, I helped you win!”
“How long have you used it?” Chen Guo asked .
“40 seconds!” Ye Qiu said .
Chen Guo's mouth dropped open when he said somewhat regretfully: “My hands were frozen cold or else 30 seconds would've been enough . ”
30 seconds… … 30 seconds to beat the opponent that I lost to 52 times in a row? Who is this person?
Could it be a professional gamer from the Excellent Era Team? Chen Guo suddenly thought . She knew that the Excellent Era Club wasn't too far away from the Internet Cafe . But she thought again . I would have recognized him if he was from the Excellent Era Team! Unless it's that expert that never shows his face Ye Qiu .
Ye Qiu! Chen Guo became excited as soon as she thought of the name, but thinking how low-profile this expert was, he probably wouldn't admit to it if she asked him directly . After hesitating for a bit, Chen Guo suddenly thought of something and quickly ran back to the reception desk .
“Who registered as Area 3 Number 47's guest?” Chen Guo asked the girl at the counter .
“Ye Xiu . ” the girl said .
“Ye Xiu… … Ye Qiu? It really is him!” Chen Guo excitedly thought . It looked like she really had uncovered his hidden identity! This showed that he really was Ye Qiu . If she had seen the name Ye Qiu written, then she wouldn't have believed it .
“Heh heh heh… …” Chen Guo's laugh could only be called sinister . She had been prepared to use everything she owned to get his signature . Ye Qiu's signature, ah! Who had it? No one!
Just as she was thinking this, the receptionist girl said without thinking: “He even forgot his ID card . ”
“ID card?” Chen Guo stared blankly after hearing this . Only then did she realize that she had turned silly from excitement . Internet Cafe registration had a system for identifying customers . An ID card had to be shown . How could someone use a fake ID?
“Where is it? Let me take a look . ” Chen Guo looked at the ID card in the girl's hand . Sure enough, Ye Xiu was written on it . A wave of disappointment washed over and she a strong urge to change the word Xiu into Qiu .
After finding out that he wasn't the low-profile expert she admired, although she was curious about this person's strength, her interest had already largely disappeared . Chen Guo angrily returned to Area 3 Number 47 and handed over Ye Xiu's ID card: “You forgot to take your ID card . ”
“Oh, thanks . ” Ye Xiu immediately answered, “Do you work in the Internet Cafe?”
“Yeah, I'm the boss . ”
“Oh? The boss, that's good . I just saw on the Internet Cafe's homepage, is your Internet Cafe hiring?” Ye Xiu asked .
“Ah… … yes… …” Chen Guo didn't think that this person would suddenly ask this . She had just been thinking to compare notes with this person . This would be the perfect excuse to .
“I looked at it and felt that I match all of the qualifications . Work and pay aren't a problem . How about it?” Consider it for a moment, boss . ” Ye Xiu said .
“Oh, then you have to beat me in a duel in Glory . ” Chen Guo said .
“What? There's this condition?” Ye Xiu turned around to check .
“You don't need to look for it . I'm adding it . ” Chen Guo said .
Ye Xiu stared blankly . Only now did he realize that his prior victory was too professional . This beautiful boss was curious about his strength, but… … Ye Xiu bitterly laughed shaking his head: “I can't beat you . ”
“Why?” Chen Guo startled .
“Because I don't have an account that can beat yours . ” Ye Xiu said .
“Account… … what level is it? What equipment?” Chen Guo asked .
“No levels, no equipment . ” Ye Xiu said .
“How?” Chen Guo didn't believe it . He had defeated the opponent she couldn't beat in 40 seconds . If this type of person didn't have a leveled account, then how did he practice to this level of skill?
“I gave away my original account . ” Ye Xiu could only say this .
“Oh, so it's like this… … how generous . ” Chen Guo sighed with sorrow . This person's strength was powerful, his account definitely wouldn't be weak . Powerful accounts were extremely valuable . Gifting it away so easily was very valiant .
“Yeah, too generous . ” Ye Xiu forced a smile . The account he had given away was the Battle God One Autumn Leaf . To only use the word “generous” to describe him was truthfully too petty .
“Is it to get ready to play in the new server?” Chen Guo asked .
“New server?” Ye Xiu stared blankly and suddenly glanced at the date .
The next day was Glory's tenth anniversary . Glory, starting from the second anniversary onwards, would open a new server on every anniversary . The registration for the tenth server had already started three months ago . Old players who weren't satisfied with the old server would prepare to enter Glory again looking forward to this day .
Now, Glory's tenth server was opening . The distant One Autumn Leaf was an account in Glory's first server . Later, in Glory's fifth expansion, a lot of experts obtained the qualifications to complete the Challenge skill becoming the first ones possessing access to all servers .
Now One Autumn Leaf had already exchanged owners . His career as a professional in Glory also left with it, but he coincidentally met up with the start of the new server . Ye Xiu's mind stirred . Ten years of memories suddenly flashed through his mind .
“New server?” Ye Xiu mumbled .
“I remember that at the start of a new server, you can transfer to it right?” Ye Xiu suddenly asked Chen Guo .
“Only Level 1 accounts can . ” Chen Guo said .
“Let me try . ” Ye Xiu fished out an account card from his pocket and quickly applied for a server transfer on the Glory home page . Chen Guo looked at the account card amazed: “Isn't this a first-edition card?”
“It is . ” Ye Xiu smiled . Glory had a new edition every year . A first-edition card would be from almost ten years ago .
Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu astonished: “How long have you been playing Glory?” Cards weren't living objects . People were . Even if a card had been around for ten years, it didn't mean a person had been .
“Almost ten years . ” Ye Xiu answered confirming that he and the card were one .
Chen Guo had thought that she, with five years of gaming, was already considered a veteran . She wouldn't have thought that the guy in front of her had a full double her experience . Ten years . That was Glory's first group of players . To continue playing up until now yet still having interest in entering a new server, what type of drive was this?
While thinking this, the home page had already displayed “Server Transfer Successful” .
“Done . ” Ye Xiu pulled out the account card . He once again recalled the little details contained with this first-edition card .
“Are you saying you want to become a network manager?” Chen Guo suddenly brought up this matter .
“Yes . ”
“Which one are you looking at?” Chen Guo asked .
“The night shift one . ” Ye Xiu said .
“Oh, are you fine with that?” Chen Guo surprised . The night shift one went on from 11PM to 7AM . The monthly income was greater than others by three hundred, but very few applied . After all, not many people were willing to have day and night reversed everyday . As a result, everyone had to take turns completing the task . If there truly was someone who took on the special night shift task, then everyone would be relieved .
“No problem, no problem . I like working at night . ” Ye Xiu said .
Chen Guo carefully sized up this person in front of her . His hair looked as if it hadn't been taken care of in at least half a month . His face didn't look too healthy . Although it was white and clear, it was that sort of sickly pale . His two eyes gazed at her listlessly . She had seen this appearance many times . The youths that frequently visited her Internet Cafe often look like this . The guy in front of her didn't look too young, but was unexpectedly also so dejected and disdained .
Disdained was disdained . As long as he wanted to be a full-time night cat, then Chen Guo would welcome him . What's more, she was also curious about the strength of this person with ten years of gaming experience . She clapped her hands on the spot: “Okay, then you're hired . ”
“Thank you very much boss . ”
“Look at the terms carefully . It'll be in accordance with those . ” Chen Guo said .
“No problem . ”
“Then good, come with me!” Chen Guo handled matters crisply . After hiring Ye Xiu, she immediately ordered him as an employee to tidy up a pile of keyboards and move them to the second floor for storage .
Chen Guo's Internet Cafe was called “Happy Internet Club”, considered a fairly high-class Internet Cafe . There were two floors and over one thousand computers . The second floor was somewhat small, but was clearly luxurious — a high-class area . And the inside was a paradise hiding two small inner rooms and storage room . Ye Xiu busily moved keyboards up and down having already inspected this small room . The recruitment page wrote: Food and shelter included . Ye Xiu had just left the club and hadn't yet thought of the next step . Food and shelter, these sort of conditions, would give him time to settle down and think about what to do next . Only then did he feel interested in taking a position at the Internet Cafe .
At first glance, this small room was probably the “shelter” . Although the decoration was simple, it was clean and tidy . Ye Xiu was very satisfied with it . He continued pondering as he arranged the keyboards that he brought up .
“Good, that's where you'll be sleeping . ” Seeing that Ye Xiu had finished the work, she pointed towards the small bed crammed into the storage room .
“What?” Ye Xiu stared blankly . He imagined that he would be sleeping in that bright and clean room . Even the drawing room sofa would be good . Here… … Ye Xiu lifted his head to look . On the west wall of the small storage room was a tiny window that directly faced the streetlights . When the storage room lights were closed, dusky light immediately shone through the tiny window as if it were haunted .
“Eh, it's a little lacking . Just put up with it for now… … In reality, my Internet Cafe isn't lacking people . With you, we don't have too many . Without you, we don't have too few . The recruitment fliers you saw are a fairly old . ” Chen Guo said .
“Oh, so it's like this! No problem no problem . This is pretty good . ” Ye Xiu declared at once . His approving attitude made Chen Guo feel very apologetic . This small storage room truly wasn't a place for living .
“In your free time, you can go on the computers and play . It's not a problem, employees don't have to pay . ” Chen Guo said .
“Boss, you're also very generous!”
“Cough, as if I cared about a single computer among a thousand!” Chen Guo said .
“How is the flow of customers ordinarily?” Ye Xiu asked .
“Not bad . Enough for me to be satisfied . ” Chen Guo said . “Of course, there won't be as many in the night shift . Most of them are students from the nearby university pulling all-nighters . There's really not much to say . You'll see when it's time . ”
“Got it . ”
“In order for you to adapt to the workplace, how about starting today? I also want to observe and see your ability to work all night . ” Chen Guo said .
“No problem . My energy's at full capacity . ” Ye Xiu gave her two big thumbs-up showing that working all night was his specialty .
“Okay then . Let's go down . I'll treat you to a midnight snack . ” Chen Guo said .
“Oh? To eat what?”
“There's not much at this time . There should be a small restaurant nearby that hasn't closed yet . Go look and buy a few dishes to bring back . I don't eat celery . ” Chen Guo said as she fished out two hundred dollars from her pocket and slipped them to Ye Xiu
“It's snowing though!” Ye Xiu said .
“It's just across the road . How much snow would get on you? Hurry up . ” Chen Guo said .
Ye Xiu had no other choice . He crossed the road and bought a few midnight snacks . He had just been hired but had already been ordered in quick succession . But he wasn't feeling depressed at all . After speaking with her for only a bit, they were no longer strangers . This sort of natural friendliness made him feel comfortable . Ye Xiu suddenly realized . Even after all this, he had never asked for his boss's name .
