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

Ye Xiu didn't go with Lu Chen to turn on the computer. Instead, he focused on watching the internet cafe manager, Xiao Chu, turn on the computer for Lu Chen.

This will be my job for quite some time to come, so naturally I need to learn it.

"Then I'll find a place to sit first, Brother Ye." Lu Chen waved his ID card, took out his account card, and walked towards his machine.

"Alright, let's play together after we leave the newbie zone." Ye Xiu smiled, took a bottle of water from the shelf behind him, and tossed it to Lu Chen: "This is on you."

"Thanks, Brother Ye." Lu Chen smiled and caught the water. With his reflexes, he was unlikely to get hit.

Drinking water, Lu Chen found his seat. Over in the hall, the interviews with the members of Team Excellent Era had ended, but the special program was not over yet.

Next, let's hear what other professional players have to say about Ye's retirement...

【coward.】

Lu Chen, who was pulling out a chair, paused for a moment, glanced over, and saw a young man with a cold expression, a buzz cut, wearing a black team uniform with red patterns and the words "Ba Tu" in cursive script on his chest. He spoke in a cold voice, with some anger in his words.

This guy must be some kind of rival of Brother Ye, right?

[This guy's name is Han Wenqing. He's been Lao Ye's opponent since the first season... no, since the first server. He's also the operator of the banned account, a King of Fighters, a fighting style boxer, Desert Lone Smoke. This old guy has already outlasted one of his successors.] Su Muqiu floated over with a cheerful smile.

[Um, Team Han is clearly angry about Team Ye's retirement. Let's see what happens on Team Blue Rain's side...]

I am very... saddened by Ye Xiu's retirement.

[There's definitely a conspiracy! Ye Qiu's retirement is absolutely a conspiracy, I'm telling you, it's definitely a conspiracy. Based on my intuition, there must have been irreconcilable internal conflicts...]

Lu Chen, who was typing in the last six digits of his name, was stunned again and turned his head to look over: "This, this person doesn't even take a breath when he talks? His lung capacity is that good?"

"Um, the one speaking right now is Huang Shaotian, also a titled player, a Sword Saint, a swordsman-type swordsman, named Ye Yushengfan. Um, but his most prominent characteristic is... he's a chatterbox." Su Muqiu introduced him: "He's the vice-captain of the Blue Rain team. The one who just spoke is the captain of the Blue Rain team, the player who controls the Warlock Soksar, Yu Wenzhou. Like Ye Xiu, he's one of the four great tacticians. Um, his most prominent characteristic is... he's clumsy?"

"Um, the people on the Blue Rain team are all quite unique," Lu Chen couldn't help but remark.

Huang Shaotian and Zhou Zekai are both described as reporters' nightmares...

"There are still such experts?" Lu Chen was a little surprised. He turned on his computer, glanced at his WeChat, and sent a message to his movie-watching buddy, asking her if she wanted to watch a movie tonight.

"That kid's a pretty good marksman, but he's still a bit behind me." Su Muqiu rubbed his nose and pointed over there: "Look, that's him."

Lu Chen looked up and saw a young man whose appearance was comparable to his own, deep in thought. After a long while, he nodded and hummed in agreement, then looked seriously at the camera: "Um... what does he mean?"

[Only Jiang Botao probably knows this in the whole world. Look, it's that child.] Su Muqiu raised his chin: [The vice-captain of the Reincarnation Team, Zhou Yu's translator…]

Lu Chen opened his mouth, about to say something, when his WeChat beeped.

Movie buddy: [Just finished work, let's watch some. Sigh, someone really got into a lot of fun today. Let's log on.]

Lu Chen smiled, put on his headphones, opened the shared movie-watching app, and skillfully entered the room number.

Next, let's hear what Chu Yunxiu, the captain of the Misty Rain team, has to say...

【I……】

"well……"

Lu Chen, who had initially been curious and wanted to take a look, turned his head away: "What's wrong?"

"Let me think about how to say it..." The mature woman's voice, tinged with weariness, said, "Well, our competitor had a key technical staff member who was forced out due to company restructuring. Then, their top salesperson, who had a very good relationship with that technical staff member, quit and is now looking for someone to switch jobs..."

"Layoffs have hit the lifeline?" Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "Things that happen in short dramas can actually happen in real life."

"You bet the world is just a giant makeshift operation...it's a headache." A sigh escaped from the other end. "What are we watching today?"

"Hmm, I recently came across a suspense drama..." Lu Chen said deliberately.

"No thanks," the other end immediately refused. "My head's spinning right now, I can't watch anything suspenseful. Let's watch an animated film instead..."

[Rejection detected. Reward: Expert-level fashion and styling tips.]

"Uh..." Lu Chen was taken aback. Were the rewards being given getting more and more abstract these days?

"What's wrong? If you don't want to watch it, you can watch something else," Chu Yunxiu asked.

"No, no, no..." Lu Chen shook his head repeatedly, "I just saw a somewhat abstract news article."

"Oh." The other person just asked casually, "By the way, didn't you play Honor of Kings yesterday? How was it? Was it fun?"

"It was pretty good. I set a new dungeon record, got the first kill in a dungeon, and met some interesting people," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"I'm pretty good at Honor of Kings too, I'll show you around sometime. What's your ID?" The other person seemed interested.

"Let's raise a glass to the moon," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"I've got it." The person on the other end nodded.

The movie started, and the two of them watched it while commenting on the plot. Time flew by, and after watching the animated film, they stopped: "Alright, we have work tomorrow, let's stop watching for now."

"Okay, sure." Lu Chen replied with a smile, said goodbye, and left the theater.

Chu Yunxiu took off her headphones and let out a long sigh. Watching movies and videos was a way for her to relax and de-stress, and having someone to vent to made it even more effective.

Chu Yunxiu glanced subconsciously at the empty cigarette pack and sighed. Today had been incredibly annoying. She had attended a press interview and then been bothered all day by that girl Mu Cheng, who begged her to help her communicate with the club...

Go buy a pack, and smoke a little less.

Chu Yunxiu grabbed the keys, put them in her pocket, and pushed open the door to go out.

The convenience store was unmanned 24 hours a day. After taking the cigarettes, Chu Yunxiu paused slightly, glanced at the Glory 10th District account card hanging to the side, hesitated for a moment, then took it off and paid for it along with the cigarettes.

He's been watching movies with me for months and been my emotional dumping ground for a long time, so it's only right that I spend some time with him.

Chu Yunxiu thought to herself.

Honor of Kings is pioneering a new online game! Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've played an online game.

Chu Yunxiu opened a pack of cigarettes, looked at the sky and exhaled a puff of smoke, put her hands in her pockets, and wondered why she had liked Glory in the first place.

It's been so long, I've forgotten a bit...
