The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

When you're playing games, you naturally lose track of time.

By the time Lu Chen realized he should go back, the money stored on his ID card had automatically been converted into money for an overnight stay at the night market.

"Can't waste it, right..." Lu Chen smacked his lips twice, subconsciously ignoring the membership discounts and continuing to bury himself in the dungeon with Baozi and the others.

When Ye Xiu came to find a free computer after his shift ended, he saw Lu Chen engrossed in a fierce battle. He cheerfully pulled aside the empty seat next to Lu Chen and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you were going back to sleep tonight?"

"Huh? Brother Ye is off work? Wait a moment!" Lu Chen glanced at him quickly, then turned his head back.

Ye Xiu wasn't angry. He smiled and glanced at Lu Chen's screen. Lu Chen and his team were fighting one of the hidden bosses in the Skeleton Graveyard. Lu Chen was in the position of dealing damage and drawing aggro. His movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Ye Xiu nodded secretly and looked at the other characters on the screen. The remaining four random players seemed to be playing without any skill involved. While Lu Chen was drawing the monster's aggro with "Raising a Cup to Invite the Moon," they just attacked randomly.

The only somewhat bright spot...

That scoundrel called Baozi Invasion seems to have pretty good hand speed.

Ye Xiu's eyes brightened slightly, and he continued to watch intently.

Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to anything. He found himself starting to like the marksman class. The fighting style was elegant, the damage was not low, and it was quite fun to play. Playing it from a first-person perspective felt just like playing an FPS game with added skills.

Although playing dungeons with Baozi and the others was quite fun and full of laughs, it took much longer than playing with Ye Du Han Tan and the others.

After finishing the dungeon, Lu Chen happily took off his headphones and stretched.

"Is it fun?"

"Fun!" Lu Chen nodded happily. "What do you think, Brother Ye...?"

"Cough cough!" Ye Xiu coughed twice.

Lu Chen was taken aback and subconsciously looked to the side: "What...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen froze. A beautiful figure stood behind him, smiling at him, though the corners of her narrowed eyes twitched slightly. "Hmm? What is it?"

"Sister... Sister Xiaorou!" Lu Chen immediately stood up and stammered as Ye Xiu lowered his head and Su Muqiu watched with amusement.

"Did you stay up all night playing games again?" Tang Rou sighed helplessly, looking at Lu Chen's tense expression. "Is it that fun?"

"It's...it's alright." Lu Chen said somewhat nervously, "Sister Xiaorou, why are you back? Why didn't you let me pick you up..."

"I was afraid of disturbing your sleep." Tang Rou sighed and tidied Lu Chen's hair. "I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock..."

"Um, I... right, this is Ye Xiu, the new night shift internet cafe manager..." Lu Chenqian smiled, wanting to say something, while looking at Ye Xiu with pleading eyes, but Ye Xiu, that ungrateful fellow, had already silently put on his headphones, pretending not to hear.

That's so unfair! So unfair! You haven't even logged in!

Just as Lu Chen was lamenting and wondering what to do next, Chen Guo, who was yawning and greeting acquaintances, slowly strolled over.

"Sister Chen Guo! Sister Xiao Rou is back!" Lu Chen almost burst into tears and quickly greeted her.

"Huh? Tang's back!" Chen Guo's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, taking Tang Rou's hand. "Didn't you say you were going back to stay for a few days? You're back so soon?"

"Someone's been causing a bit of trouble, so I came back to check on him," Tang Rou said with a knowing smile.

"Xiao Chen... Hmm? Wait, you two aren't fighting like this again, are you?!" Chen Guo was about to say something when she saw Lu Chen standing there with his head down like a child who had done something wrong. A newly hired internet cafe manager was studying the Glory login screen, as if trying to figure it out: "You two, by the way, Xiao Tang, let me introduce you. This is a new guy named Ye Xiu, he works the night shift. From now on, you won't have to take turns working the night shift. Hey! Stop pretending, say hello."

Ye Xiu couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb any longer. He took off his headphones, turned around, glanced at Lu Chen who was staring at him with his head down, silently looked away, smiled, and extended his hand: "Ah, hello..."

"Hello, Xiao Chen mentioned you." Tang Rou smiled and nodded, extending her hand to shake hands with Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu tactfully clenched his fingers and then withdrew them.

"Right! Come on, let's play a game! I've always thought that Xiao Tang has the talent to play professionally!" Chen Guo urged as if she had just remembered something.

"Huh? What are you hitting?" Ye Xiu was confused, but Lu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Sister Chen Guo is awesome! Although Chen Guo didn't intentionally help him out, her easily excited nature when Glory was mentioned did help Lu Chen.

Clearly, Tang Rou understood her best friend better than Lu Chen did, and she glanced at Chen Guo with a somewhat helpless expression.

"You play Glory too?" Ye Xiu asked, showing some interest.

He had just noticed that Xiao Chen's girlfriend's hands were very beautiful, no less so than his own carefully maintained hands.

"I can't." Tang Rou shook her head helplessly.

"If you can't play, then what am I?" Chen Guo said, somewhat displeased.

"You really know how, but I'm just average." Tang Rou was both amused and exasperated.

Ye Xiu looked at Lu Chen blankly, and Lu Chen looked at him blankly as well. Neither of them really understood what was going on with Tang Rou.

"Come on, come on, you use my Zhuyanxia to play against him. Um, what class do you play? I'll find one for you." Chen Guo looked around. With her connections, borrowing an account to play a game would be a piece of cake.

"I'll use Lord Grim," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Jun Moxiao? Stop joking, did you change jobs?" Chen Guo asked, somewhat amused.

"I don't plan to change jobs. Going to the training ground is enough for me," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"A solo player?" Chen Guo was taken aback. She vaguely remembered this playstyle, the kind where you don't change classes, but... it had been so many years since she'd played like this: "You..."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm! Sister Xiaorou, come here!" Lu Chen nodded repeatedly, quickly pulled out a seat, helped Tang Rou sit down, and carefully took the alcohol wipes and earphone covers next to him to clean them thoroughly.

Tang Rou glanced at Lu Chen with amusement, shook her head helplessly, but did not continue to refuse. She took Chen Guo's account card and inserted it into the card reader.

Ye Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Chen Guo a thumbs up, which left Chen Guo somewhat confused: "What does that mean?"

"Huh? Didn't you help Xiao Lu out of that predicament?" Ye Xiu asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" Aunt Chen Guo glanced at the two whispering lovers with a chuckle, but when she heard Ye Xiu's question, her face stiffened: "Ah... hahaha, yes, yes, yes..."

"..." Well, what a waste of emotion. Ye Xiu sighed.
