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

Chapter 38 Didn't you say you wouldn't come?

"Business hasn't been great these past few days, Brother Ye." Lu Chen yawned. Although he looked listless, his hands moved with perfect precision.

"Feeling bored?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile from the bar.

"A little bit." Lu Chen nodded and said honestly.

You're considered to have left the starting village only after changing jobs. In the starting village, there are no limits on the number of times you can run dungeons, but outside of the starting village, you can only run them five times a day. The rest of the time, you can only rely on wild monsters on the map to gain experience.

After achieving an awe-inspiring record in the Burial Grounds dungeon, virtually no guilds approached them for dungeon runs for the next day.

After using up all their attempts, Ye Xiu took Lu Chen, Tang Rou, and Baozi to the Burial Grounds to farm monsters and gain experience.

Baozi remained energetic and lively, but Lu Chen and Tang Rou did find it a bit boring.

"The leaders of all the major guilds are shrewd. Judging from the current situation, they're probably planning to hire us to work after we reach the dungeon's limit, all at once," Ye Xiu smacked his lips.

Lu Chen sighed, "This can't go on forever—"

My Christmas gift-giving plans have stalled—should I buy materials at the market? It's not impossible, but surely the guild leaders of the major guilds don't have the authority to sell those core rare materials?

"Indeed, we need to think of other ways. By the way, have you thoroughly analyzed the video of your match against Huang Shaotian the day before yesterday?" Ye Xiu mentioned with a smile.

"That's about it—some things can only be described as talent. If only I could fight more against experts of this level," Lu Chen remarked.

"That's unlikely," Ye Xiu sighed. "I'll borrow an account for you to spar with later."

"Huh? Is it alright, Brother Ye?"

"It's nothing." Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head. "You've helped me so much, and I didn't even ask—"

"Hmm?" Lu Chen suddenly paused, then asked with some confusion, "Brother Ye, there's a demonic scholar over there. Do you know him?"

"A magic scholar?" Ye Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then casually tossed the two small monsters in front of him to Baozi and Tang Rou: "Where? Oh? Plantain?"

"You know them?"

"The tenth branch leader of Zhongcaotang—" Ye Xiu opened his friend list: "No one from Zhongcaotang has ever come to recruit part-time workers before, why suddenly—"

"This guy doesn't seem to have any good intentions." Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and Che Qianzi, who had already rushed over, suddenly threw a handful of powder from his pocket.

[Dispelling Powder], a level 20 skill, removes one buff from a target upon successful application, while also reducing the target's attack, casting, and movement speed. Even if the target has no buffs, the speed reduction effect will still apply, lasting 10 seconds.

Without the slightest hesitation, regardless of whether he was the guild leader or a branch leader, this was practically a provocation, wasn't it? After all, the system had already made that judgment.

Raising a cup to invite the moon, he quickly touched his leg, a flash of cold light, and a bullet was suddenly flung out towards the figure in the sky.

[Gun-drawing technique]!

Huh?

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. Although the gun-drawing technique was not a skill that guaranteed a hit, it was very fast and should have been able to hit the target under normal circumstances.

However, the plantain in the sky suddenly turned, and the bullet flew past the plantain broom almost grazing it.

"This guy... seems to have something going for him, Xiao Chen, be careful." Su Muqiu's eyes lit up as he leaned closer.

"Oh no! Brother Yaoyue has been given a laxative! Don't panic! I'm here to help you!" Baozi shouted and tried to rush over.

"Laxative?" Tang Rou was taken aback and quickly looked at Lu Chen beside her. Finding that her boyfriend was not acting strangely, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and blushed.

It's about games.

"Yes, it's that powder from earlier. If you get hit, your body will become soft and your speed will slow down!" Baozi said confidently.

Laxatives? What the hell?! Ye Xiu was both amused and exasperated: "That's dispelling powder—wait a minute, don't go up there, that magic scholar is quite interesting."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes. He called out to Baozi and Tang Rou, who were rushing to help, and looked at Jubei Yaoyue and Cheqianzi, who were locked in a fierce battle: "That guy, it shouldn't be Cheqianzi. This fighting style—"

Che Qianzi was holding a laptop and looked nervously at the person sitting in front of his computer. The reflection from the computer screen was enough to make his face clear.

Wang Jiexi, captain of Team Tiny Herb and the player of the titled character "Wang Buliuxing," a magical scholar.

But now, Wang Jiexi's face showed a slight hint of doubt: "This 'raising a cup to invite the moon'?"

"Raising a Cup to Invite the Moon — also a newly emerged expert from the tenth district. He had only previously interacted with people from Tyranny, and then he mingled with Lord Grim in the Burial Ground dungeon last time," Che Qianzi quickly said.

"Mm." Wang Jiexi nodded.

Che Qianzi was puzzled. Wasn't Jessie supposed to greet Lord Grim and Tang Rou? Why did she suddenly change her mind? Che Qianzi shifted his position slightly, and his eyes widened instantly.

This—the person who was fighting Jessie just now wasn't Lord Grim, but—that person who raised a cup to invite the moon? They fought for such a long time?

Just as Che Qianzi was engrossed in a series of dramatic scenarios, he heard his captain suddenly say, "It really is you."

"Wang Daye?" Lu Chen, who was locked in a fierce battle with Che Qianzi, suddenly heard Ye Xiu call out.

"It really was you."

"Are you confident you can win this season's championship? You have so much time to play online games?" Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"You didn't—oh, right, you retired." The voice on the other end also carried a hint of laughter.

"Alright, professional players, stop being so addicted to online games. Let me help you." After saying that, Lord Grim rushed forward. When Baozi saw his boss move, he excitedly threw a brick to the other side.

Lu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. With his talent, he could tell that the opponent's fighting style was more of a probing move, and they didn't seem to have any intention of using their real skills.

Seeing Lord Grim and his group rushing up, Che Qianzi, who had originally planned to take off again, stopped moving and just stood there, letting the four of them kill him.

"Brother Ye, who is this person? —" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"Wang Jiexi—oh, the captain of Team Tiny Herb. Like Huang Shaotian, he's one of the titled players, the Magician. He was the Rookie of the Season 3, and the champion of the Season 5 and Season 7. He's a very powerful guy." Ye Xiu blurted out unconsciously, but thinking that Lu Chen might be a little confused, he quickly explained again.

"Hmm," Ye Xiu added after thinking for a moment. "These are all the same person."

"Um—well, I do know Brother Ye, for now," Lu Chen said quietly. "I was just joking with you before."

"hehe."

"I was just thinking, didn't you just say that professional players of Huang Shaotian's caliber wouldn't just casually play online games?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.

Ye Xiu, who was about to light a cigarette, paused for a moment: "Ahem, well, I should change shifts—should I go back to sleep?"

So, even Brother Ye can feel a little awkward.
