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

Chapter 27 The Sword of Parting Sorrow [Happy New Year, everyone!]

"Alright, let's go. It wouldn't look good for you if someone saw you like this." Ye Xiu sighed. "Although I'm no longer your captain, I hope you remember what I said before. You don't want to lose something you worked so hard for, do you?"

The man wanted to raise his hand to refute something, but after seeing Lu Chen's smiling expression, he hesitated and put his hand down. He didn't even dare to say a harsh word and turned to leave.

The two people following behind didn't even look up, just kept up with the man.

Ye Xiu sighed, sat down, and lit a cigarette.

Lu Chen and Tang Rou exchanged a glance. Lu Chen scratched his head and asked, "Brother Ye? Who are those three?"

"A former colleague," Ye Xiu smiled. "Thanks, Xiao Lu."

"Brother Ye, are you alright?" Lu Chen asked cautiously, "They won't come looking for trouble again, will they?"

Ye Xiu was amused: "What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm really fine—as for them, they probably won't be coming."

"They look familiar?" Lu Chen thought for a moment, especially the one in the lead who had a sleazy, shifty-eyed look.

"The members of Team Excellent Era, the one in the lead is Liu Hao, the vice-captain of Team Excellent Era, the other one is also Liu Hao, and the last one is the president of the Excellent Era Guild," Ye Xiu said calmly.

Tang Rou was slightly taken aback: "So, you are—that Battle God? Does Guoguo know?"

"I told her, but she didn't believe me—" Ye Xiu said helplessly, "Alright, you guys go have fun too."

Tang Rou thought for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, and pulled Lu Chen away.

"Don't act impulsively when something happens, okay?" After returning to her seat, Tang Rou hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Lu Chen scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "Okay—um, how about I take you with me, Sister Xiaorou?"

"No need. There's not much benefit from being six levels below. I level up quickly since I'm low level, so I can practice on my own." Tang Rou stubbornly shook her head: "Alright, you go first—"

[Ding! Feng Shu Yan Mu has requested to become your friend.]

"Hello? Xiao Chen? Has someone added Xiao Tang?" A voice came from the other end of the headset.

"Huh? How did you know about Brother Ye?" Lu Chen was slightly taken aback.

"That's my friend. Let Xiao Tang accept the friend request. They can train together. She's a very nice girl, don't worry." Lu Chen could hear it, and Tang Rou could hear it too. She quickly accepted the friend request, and not long after, a Gunner ran over.

Lu Chen watched as Tang Rou put on her headphones and started chatting with her while running dungeons together. He smiled and continued leveling up with Lord Grim and the others.

However, not long after, Han Yanrouhe Fengshuyanmu teamed up with another person.

He is an elemental mage.

[Ding! Your friend Baozi Invasion has started!]

"Hmm? Steamed buns are served too?" Lu Chen glanced at the notification and said with a smile.

"Baozi is here too? He's in great spirits — Hmm, it's just like our team right now —" Ye Xiu glanced at his team's lineup, a full five people, with no empty seats.

"I'm here, Master Lu and Brother Lu!" From a distance, a thug rushed over, waving and shouting, "Are we going to be on TV? Count me in, count me in!"

-

Baozi shouted excitedly; he was now very interested in appearing on television.

"Um, Baozi—" Ye Xiu coughed twice, and just as he was about to say something, another team request came in.

He's a berserker swordsman, and his ID is "Sword of Parting Sorrows".

What's going on today? It's usually hard to add random players at this time, right? Lu Chen obviously saw it too.

The person went straight to Ye Xiu and started praising him, expressing his desire to join the team. He even posted it to everyone nearby, so everyone could see it, which made Lu Chen both amused and exasperated.

"Um, how about Baozi, you—" Ye Xiu was a little helpless and was about to speak when Lu Chen spoke first: "It's okay, Brother Ye, you can take Baozi with you to run the dungeon. He slept all day and his level is a bit low. This Lihenjian brother and I—"

"That works too." Ye Xiu thought for a moment, "Perfect timing, why don't you take a look at the strength of this 'Sword of Parting Sorrows'?"

"Okay." Lu Chen glanced at the Sword of Parting Sorrows and said that his strength was quite good, and he was also a little curious.

I haven't even fought a Berserker yet!

It's that bastard! Right across the street, in a dark room, a somewhat sleazy-looking guy was grinding his teeth to dust.

My shoulder is still a little sore, and I can't forget that guy's voice from earlier.

When he saw that Liu Hao was inviting him to the arena, he almost shouted out with joy. He was determined to make this bastard avenge all the humiliation he had just suffered. Wait, no, no, this won't do.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Liu Hao's eyes. Compared to that guy named Lu, he disliked Ye Xiu even more. In order to ruin Ye Xiu's plan, he felt that he had to endure humiliation.

Tsk, should we let this bastard be smug for a little while longer?

No need! This is an online game! Isn't it reasonable for me to be stronger than him? Maybe I can even get that bastard Ye Qiu to kick this guy out!

Liu Hao became excited again and eagerly followed the man who raised his cup to invite the moon into the arena room.

"Do you have a map you'd like to choose?"

A voice came from the other end of the headset asking a question.

Lost in his own self-admiration, Liu Hao subconsciously replied, "Whatever!"

"Hmm?" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Hao was startled and quickly said in a high-pitched voice, "Ah, master, I said whatever, anything is fine, someone's sleeping at my place, I have to mute my microphone—"

"Oh, okay——————" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.

Lu Chen had acquired a skill called perfect pitch from his girlfriend, which made his ears incredibly sharp. Just those two simple words were enough for him to tell who was on the other end.

"Let me adjust the settings a bit!" Lu Chen casually messaged Ye Xiu: [Brother Ye, this Lihen Sword seems to belong to your former colleague who came by earlier, the one who was in charge.]

Sword of Parting Sorrows: [Alright, don't rush, Great God.]

Jun Moxiao: [Oh? Liu Hao?]

Raising a glass to the moon: [It should be him, but I'm not entirely sure.]

Lord Grim: [Then you play a match with him first. Oh, and record the game log briefly; I'll see it at the party later.]

"That guy, Wang Jiexi was right about his mismatched eyes, he really does have the look of a wolf, the face of a villain!" Su Muqiu said with a sneer. "Xiao Chen, teach him a lesson! I've always disliked this bastard. Xue Mingkai went abroad to study, otherwise, he would have come and beaten this guy to death. What kind of scum is he, daring to mess with Old Xue's dark and hopeless ways!"
