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

Chapter 42 Completely Devastated

"Xiao Lu? What's going on?" Ye Xiu put on his headphones and looked at the situation in front of him with some confusion.

Didn't the proprietress say the situation was extremely critical? How come it looks—quite harmonious?

"It's settled!" Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Huh?" Ye Xiu was slightly taken aback, his gaze shifting to the characters surrounding them.

After glancing at the composition, Ye Xiu understood: "Tiny Herb?"

"They changed their story and said it belonged to Blue Rain," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Where's Wang Daye? That magic scholar isn't him, is he?" Ye Xiu called out with a laugh, "What does this mean?"

"Uh—" The knight on the other end paused for a moment, "You are—"

"Wang Daye" was the nickname his seniors used to give him when he was still a newcomer. Of course, now that Wang Jiexi has become one of the most respected seniors in the Glory Alliance, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to call him that.

As far as Deng Fusheng, the vice-captain of Tiny Herb, knew, there were only Ye Qiu, the retired captain of Excellent Era, Han Wenqing, the captain of Tyranny, Lin Jingyan, the captain of Howling Gaming, and Zhang Jiale, the captain of Hundred Blossoms who retired last season—the only others left was Huang Shaotian from Blue Rain.

The person in front of him couldn't be Han Wenqing, nor did Wei Jingyan have time to play online games. Zhang Jiale was a top expert in ammunition. Although he didn't know what the weapon was, it didn't look like an automatic pistol at all.

"Captain Ye?" Deng Fusheng hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Little Deng?" Ye Xiu asked with a knowing smile.

Deng Fusheng was momentarily speechless. He was, after all, a veteran player, and being called "Little Deng" was somewhat...

However, he didn't intend to refute it. If it were Ye Xiu, he wouldn't have any problem calling him Xiao Deng or even Wang Jiexi Xiao Wang.

"It's me—" Deng Fusheng replied awkwardly.

"I just met up with Lao Wang in the online game this morning, and you guys came to play as a group tonight? Are you treating us like bosses to be killed?"

In the morning, Wang Jiexi was busy with his endorsement business, so he only told Deng Fusheng to find a character named Lord Grim in the online game and another character named Raise a Cup to the Moon, and to defeat them once as an extra training exercise.

Although Deng Fusheng was somewhat curious, he didn't ask any further questions. After Che Qianzi informed them that Lord Grim was online, he logged in using the account card delivered that morning. And then, this happened—

"————Playing with you isn't considered bullying a player, is it?" A laughing voice rang out.

Lu Chen recognized the voice; it was that guy's voice from this morning—Wang Jiexi, the captain of Team Tiny Herb.

In City B, at the Tiny Herb Club training room, the members of the Tiny Herb team stood up respectfully upon seeing the young man and greeted him as their captain.

While Lu Chen was threatening Liu Xiaobie, someone went to find their captain, as the matter was now beyond their ability to resolve.

When Wang Jiexi came in, he didn't say much. He patted Gao Yingjie on the shoulder, sat down, and greeted Ye Xiu, "Playing against you shouldn't be considered bullying, right? Recording or anything like that—"

"Huh? Recording?" Ye Xiu sounded a bit surprised. "Xiao Lu—huh? Oh, I see! Well done! Cough cough, now we have something on you, what are you planning to do?"

"Isn't this extortion?" Wang Jiexi asked, both amused and exasperated.

"What are you talking about? This is a fair trade, okay? -- Never mind, I'm not joking anymore. So, you're trying to get me to be your sparring partner for free?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

"We do have that plan," Wang Jiexi readily admitted. "We haven't targeted other players, nor have we tampered with dungeon records or anything, so it shouldn't affect the game balance. Although it might not sound very nice to say, it's still plausible. However, if you want compensation—"

"Do you think I'm such a vulgar person?" Ye Xiu said righteously, as if he wasn't the one who had tried to rip them off earlier.

Wang Jiexi didn't reply, but just waited quietly.

"But—it's never good to work for free. So, I agree to your request, but in return, you can contribute some game materials, right?"

"—Is it that weapon?" Wang Jiexi asked.

"right."

This guy—Wang Jiexi didn't know what to say, but this business wasn't too bad. The "Glory Textbook" title wasn't for nothing: "Okay, to the arena?"

"Wait a minute, let me call a few people to come together."

"Huh?" Wang Jiexi was taken aback.

"I also have a few newcomers here who need some training."

"More than just raising a cup to invite the moon—" Wang Jiexi paused for a moment, then laughed, "Then how dare you ask for our materials?"

"What are you saying? We have dirt on you!" Ye Xiu said shamelessly.

— Wang Jiexi didn't really want to continue the conversation on this issue, and simply asked the other party to send over the arena room information.

After both sides reached an agreement, Deng Fusheng asked hesitantly, "Captain Wang, is the other side really—"

""

"Well, Ye Qiu, we originally wanted him to work for free, but it seems there's no way around it now." Wang Jiexi glanced at his teammates standing beside him, looking at each other blankly. "Everyone, go to the arena with your characters. I'm going to find Che Qianzi to get some things."

What I needed to pick up was the list of materials that Ye Xiu had sent along with the location information.

"Brother Ye is really tough!" Lu Chen said admiringly.

"Xiao Lu, you're quite clever too! If it weren't for your recording, I wouldn't have dared to turn things up so high—" Ye Xiu remarked, and the two looked at each other and laughed, their laughter having a sinister feel to it.

【Xiao Chen has completely gone astray following this guy!】 Su Muqiu pounded his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.

However, for Ye Xiu and his team, who were just starting out, this was a win-win situation.

Someone helped Ye Xiu maintain his form, helped Lu Chen familiarize himself with the rhythm of professional players, helped Ye Xiu train Baozi and Tang Rou, and helped them quickly gather some materials.

Win four times! Win four times! I'm sick of winning!

Tang Rou finished her work and ran over to Lu Chen's computer to turn it on. Ye Xiu also went to change shifts and sat down at the bar. Meanwhile, the Tiny Herb team players entered the arena room one by one.

"Let's make this clear first, you can only fight me after you've finished fighting Jubei Yaoyue, Hanyan Rou, and Baozi Invasion!" Ye Xiu emphasized.

Wang Jiexi didn't offer any further explanation, simply replying that he understood.

"Come on! Let's raise a glass to the moon! Let's continue the game!" Liu Xiaobie said through gritted teeth. After all, it was because of him that Team Tiny Herb was in such a passive position. In addition, the previous match was not finished, which made Liu Xiaobie feel that Lu Chen was still on his mind.

"Sure," Lu Chen said with a cheerful laugh as he entered the competition room.

"Huh? Why can't I get in?" Liu Xiaobie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, there is such a requirement. Take a look, if you win you don't have to pay anything, but if you lose you have to give me some materials or something." Lu Chen said sincerely. This was something he had just learned from Ye Xiu's extortion scheme—yes, from Ye Xiu negotiating with Wang Jiexi.

I myself also have a considerable need for materials —

"Damn it! What the hell?!" Liu Xiaobi gritted her teeth in anger, glanced at her teammates who had already started fighting against Han Yanrou and Baozi Invasion, and looked at the captain standing behind them.

"Wait a moment, give it to him." Wang Jiexi nodded; he was very interested in that sharpshooter.
