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

"Good morning, Brother Ye." Lu Chen yawned and greeted Ye Xiu, who was washing up.

His current daily routine is much better than before, although it's completely reversed, but... it's still quite regular.

"Good morning!" Ye Xiu greeted him with a smile.

"What are the plans for tonight?" Lu Chen asked casually after squeezing out the toothpaste.

"Shall we level up together tonight?" Ye Xiu thought for a moment, "Yesterday I helped Tyranny get the first kill on the Frost Goblin..."

"Hmm?" Lu Chen asked curiously, his words muffled, "Isn't Brother Ye a mortal enemy of that... whatever... King of Fighters guy?"

Lu Chen knew this, after all, he had a die-hard Excellent Era fan by his side who had heard these things so many times that his ears were practically worn out.

"A mortal enemy? I wouldn't call him a rival, but Old Han is certainly a formidable opponent." Ye Xiu was taken aback at first, then smiled and said.

"[That's not all, these two have been locked in a love-hate relationship since the first district.]" Su Muqiu floated out, cheerfully explaining.

A love-hate relationship... is that even acceptable?

Lu Chen rinsed his mouth, then washed his face, gave it a quick spritz of his nine-in-one skincare routine, and wiped his face: "Helping Tyranny get the first kill is..."

"Raising the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella." Even Ye Xiu seemed a little helpless when talking about this: "Although the solo player style is very fierce, it is based on the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella. If the attribute level of the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella cannot be improved, even if the weakness of not being able to upgrade before awakening is overcome, there is no way to have the ability to dominate."

But this thing is a huge resource consumer... and Xiao Chen, your Po Jun and Tan Lang weapons are also very expensive...

Ye Xiu was somewhat helpless. Other clubs were worried about not having the relevant talent, but materials were not a problem. But for them, it was the opposite: "So, I was thinking of helping them get the first kill of the wild boss, or stealing the dungeon record, and exchanging it for some materials to upgrade the Thousand Chance Umbrella."

"Isn't this just working for someone else? A high-class job?" Lu Chen chuckled as he listened, opened the refrigerator, took out some ingredients, and started cooking.

Ye Xiu leaned closer, somewhat curious: "Ah, that's about right. What are you doing...?"

"Make some sandwiches or something for Sister Xiaorou to take over. I overslept today. I was going to make steamed buns instead," Lu Chen said with a smile. His cooking skills were not bad either. He had learned them from watching a TV series about chefs falling in love with his movie-watching partner. He kept coming across this kind of thing during that period. All in all, his skills were more than enough to open a shop.

"How about making steamed buns?" Ye Xiu laughed. "However, Steamed Bun Invasion is indeed a player worth nurturing."

"Okay, Brother Ye, sit there and scroll through your phone for a bit. I'll be right there. Let's eat something before we go." Lu Chen put on an apron and started frying eggs and such.

"Okay." Ye Xiu sat on the sofa and waited. He didn't refuse Lu Chen's kindness. Some things are better left unsaid. Simple thanks are too inadequate.

Ye Xiu casually picked up a copy of the e-sports magazine he had bought during the day and started reading it.

Sandwiches are quick to make; they're basically fast food anyway. I divided them into two portions and put them in an insulated container.

Looking at the insulated box, Lu Chen felt a little emotional. Before, when he brought food for Sister Xiaorou, she always refused with a blank expression. He spent a lot of money on her during that time. Now... she probably won't refuse anymore, right?

The extra portion was for the other network administrators. If we got along well, Xiaorou would receive more preferential treatment from them. Oh, and there was also a bribe for Xiaorou's boss. If we didn't bring it for her, who knows how they would tease us.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and added another portion.

Lu Chen took two large portions of food with plenty of ingredients and brought them out of the kitchen to eat with Ye Xiu.

While eating, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "It seems like I rarely see Brother Ye using his phone?"

"Oh, I didn't." Ye Xiu smiled.

"Huh?" Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. It was hard to imagine how people could live without cell phones these days, but Ye Xiu... didn't have a cell phone?

Ye Xiu didn't offer any explanation; he simply ate while flipping through a magazine.

After the two finished eating and tidied up, they took the trash out the door and headed downstairs towards Happy Internet Cafe.

Just like the day before yesterday, the lighting at Xingxin Internet Cafe was dim today, with only the lobby area having light, where many people were sitting.

"This... oh, right, today is match day." Ye Xiu nodded, somewhat realizing something. "Who's playing whom?"

"Is this Excellent Era? This is where Excellent Era fans gather. Sister Chen always puts out music around this time. Brother Ye, go check it out." Lu Chen said with a smile, lifting the insulated box in his hand: "I'm going to bring some food to Sister Xiaorou."

"Okay." Ye Xiu waved his hand and walked over there.

Lu Chen glanced at the bar, smiled, walked over, placed the insulated box on the bar, and looked at Tang Rou, who was intently watching the video.

There were many people using the computer during this period, so Tang Rou didn't play Glory and instead looked at the Battle Mage strategy guide compiled by Ye Xiu.

"Want to eat something before you watch?" Lu Chen leaned on the bar and poked Tang Rou's forehead.

Tang Rou was taken aback, her angry gaze softening when she saw Lu Chen: "You're up?"

"Hmm, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Lu Chen handed over the insulated food container. "Can you accept my food now?"

"Cough cough..." Tang Rou coughed twice, lowered her head and opened the insulated box, her eyes lighting up slightly.

The box contained various small sandwiches, completely different from the standard triangular ones Ye Xiu ate; it was clear that someone had put in a lot of effort.

"Want to try it?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, resting his chin on his hand.

"Delicious!" Tang Rou's eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but emphasize again, "Very delicious!"

"As long as it tastes good," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"It's just... a bit too much." Tang Rou looked at the large insulated box in front of her with some difficulty.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then let's share some with the others. My cooking skills shouldn't be enough to embarrass Sister Xiaorou. Aren't you all taking good care of Sister Xiaorou?"

"Hmm!" Tang Rou's eyes sparkled.

Lu Chen watched his girlfriend eat, then handed her the milk tea he had bought, with a straw inserted.

The two ate and chatted, and time flew by.

Einstein's theory of relativity is absolutely true!

Lu Chen took a pack of tissues, tore it open, and wiped Tang Rou's mouth: "Oh, put this pack of tissues on Brother Ye's tab!"

"Pfft... Okay." Tang Rou laughed, her blush slightly concealed.

Anyway…

"Damn! How did you even play that?!"

Just as Lu Chen was about to make a couple of jokes about his girlfriend, a curse suddenly came from the other side, and soon the area erupted in uproar, becoming a scene of intense public outrage.

Lu Chen and Tang Rou exchanged a glance, shrugged, and neither of them asked what was going on.

What else could have happened? Excellent Era lost!
