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

[Congratulations to player "Raising a Cup to Invite the Moon, Crossing the Cold Pool at Night, Unable to Reach the Full Moon, Disturbing One's Dream," for achieving the first kill of the Spider Cave in the tenth server of "Sword's Edge in the Cold Wind"!]

"Holy crap, Brother Yaoyue is awesome!" Ye Du Hantan was stunned at first, then overjoyed and couldn't help but shout loudly.

They'd fought in spider caves before, but this was the first time they'd done it so easily.

The biggest challenge of the final boss in the Spider Cave is that it periodically lays spider eggs to hatch spiderlings. If left unattended, the number of spiderlings will increase, requiring players to constantly clear the spiderlings while dodging the boss's attacks.

But things are different now. Their team has a sharpshooter who can unleash multiple shots with overwhelming force. While pulling the little spiders along, they still have time to attack the BOSS. Under these circumstances, Nightfall and his team can naturally concentrate all their attacks on the BOSS.

Later on, the priest Ye Du Han Tan had no chance to use his skills, so he simply grabbed other weapons from his backpack and started hacking around wildly.

So comfortable, so very comfortable!

"Hiss!" Lu Chen couldn't help but gasp.

"What's wrong, Brother Yaoyue?" Nightfall Cold Pool completely lost the arrogance of the elite players from the three major guilds, immediately becoming obsequious: "Thirsty? Hungry? Add me as a friend, I'll order takeout for Brother Yaoyue!"

For staff members of clubs like Nightfall Cold Pool, securing the first kill earns them a club bonus. Once they reach level 20 and can establish a guild, the first kill will now be named after the Tyranny Guild. Treating them to a late-night snack to build a good relationship is still quite necessary for Nightfall Cold Pool.

"Uh, no need, it's just that your sudden shout startled me." Lu Chenqian chuckled.

Ye Du Han Tan chuckled awkwardly.

"Oh, you guys got the first kill." Ye Xiu looked over with a smile. They had just finished the dungeon, and were about a few dozen seconds behind, but Ye Xiu didn't seem to care too much about it.

"I was lucky." Lu Chen felt a little guilty. After all, he got this first kill partly by borrowing Ye Xiu's tactics. Although he didn't turn around to peek at the screen, Su Muqiu kept actively reporting Ye Xiu's tactics.

[Hmph, Xiao Chen beat Ye Xiu once in this respect, which is equivalent to me winning once too, adding another victory to my tally.] Su Muqiu took the credit without any embarrassment.

"Hmm? What's the score now?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

Su Muqiu remained silent, whistling as he looked at the ceiling. Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that in the competition between Brother Su and Brother Ye, Brother Ye had the upper hand. Oh, but I reckon it wasn't just a slight advantage...

"Glory is far more than what we see now," Ye Xiu said with a smile, lighting a cigarette.

"Hmm?" Lu Chen looked at Ye Xiu with some confusion.

Ye Xiu considered for a moment: "Dungeon records and other things are naturally part of Glory, but what's most interesting about Glory is the competition between players... well, between players. Dungeons and bosses are just some predetermined data..."

Ye Xiu felt a little helpless. He had his eye on Lu Chen, a promising talent, but the kid's talent was indeed quite high. He had just started playing Glory and had already taken down the hidden boss and achieved the first kill in the dungeon. Ye Xiu was afraid that Lu Chen would think Glory was too easy and get bored after playing it for a few days, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Brother Ye, you've been playing Glory for ten years, don't you get tired of it?" Lu Chen thought for a moment and then asked.

"[Glory, I'd never get tired of playing it for another ten years]." Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu's voices merged together.

Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since Brother Ye thinks that way, then I'll continue playing."

Ye Xiu was stunned, forgetting to flick the ash from his cigarette, which fell onto the table.

Xiao Lu, you trust me this much? We've only just met...

Lu Chen didn't really think much about it. Although he didn't know why Ye Xiu was able to become a bound user, since they were bound together, there was no reason not to do the rejected mission properly.

It's natural to maintain a good relationship with those who refuse you. Since most of the things Ye Xiu has refused are related to Glory, Lu Chen will continue playing Glory until Ye Xiu is no longer bound to him.

Although that was what he thought before, after hearing Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu say that they would never get tired of playing it for another ten years, Lu Chen did indeed develop a strong curiosity about the game.

What motivated them? Was it simply for fun? Or something else?

Lu Chen shrugged, put his headphones back on, and said that Ye Du Han Tan and the others had invited him to continue exploring the Spider Cave. This time, he wanted to try and encounter the hidden boss...

……

Tang Rou went to bed a little late last night. Firstly, it was already past midnight when she got home, and secondly... after accepting Lu Chen's confession, Tang Rou vaguely thought about many things that might happen in the future.

So, it was almost nine o'clock when I got up.

Tang Rou subconsciously picked up her phone and glanced at it, but soon, her expectant eyes dimmed slightly.

My last chat with Lu Chen was yesterday when I got home. He told me to get some rest, and then he said goodnight to me before I went to sleep.

It's already nine o'clock, Xiao Chen...shouldn't he be up by now? Tang Rou was a little unsure. Perhaps he was tossing and turning because she had accepted his confession?

Thinking of Lu Chen tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, and possibly wearing a silly grin on his face, Tang Rou couldn't help but smile slightly.

That expression would be so cute, right?

Tang Rou thought for a moment, then sent a meme of a little girl holding a megaphone and yelling "Wake up!" at a sleeping pig on the bed. She then put her phone in her pajama pocket, smiled, and went to wash up.

After washing up, Tang Rou subconsciously glanced at her phone.

Still not awake...? Tang Rou frowned slightly, feeling a little downcast. She wanted to hear Xiao Chen's voice...

"Rou Rou is awake? Come and have something to eat!" Tang's mother waved happily, and Tang Shusen, who was in a video conference, also showed a doting smile and nodded.

"Oh!" Tang Rou smiled, went downstairs, sat down at the dining table, and began to eat her somewhat late breakfast.

With her phone right next to her, Tang Rou couldn't help but glance at the screen while eating.

After breakfast, the aunt cleared away the plates, and Tang Shusen, having finished his meeting, sat down with a still-warm coffee in his hand: "Were you having fun at that... what internet cafe?"

"Ah, it's fine." Tang Rou nodded, but seemed a little absent-minded.

"Experiencing life is good, that's why we brought you back this time..."

Tang Rou answered her father's questions in a half-hearted manner, glancing at her phone every now and then.

Still not awake...?

"Ding-dong!" After some time, Tang Rou's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed her phone. After seeing the sender, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

It was a pig emoji with its eyes rubbing, sent by Lu Chen, but... goodnight? Did Xiao Chen send it to the wrong person?

Tang Shusen and his wife exchanged a glance. Tang's mother's eyes lit up, but Tang Shusen's expression turned dangerous.

Wait, something's wrong. It looks like a pig has come from our cabbage patch!

Tang Rou ignored her parents' changing expressions and quickly typed: [I got up a little late. You were also up late last night...]

"Ding-dong!" Was that a message from Guoguo? Tang Rou was startled and subconsciously clicked on it.

Chen Guo: [You need to control your son, Xiao Lu! This guy has been playing Glory with the new internet cafe manager since yesterday!]

Tang Rou's expression froze for a moment, then quickly turned dangerous.
