Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Although it was the first battle, it only lasted ten minutes. From the individual matches to the arena battles, and finally the team matches, Happy completely crushed their opponents. There was absolutely no suspense. Just as Chen Guo was gloating over the result and was about to ask Xiao Ming how he felt, she heard Xiao Ming's voice calling from below, "Sister Chen, Sister Chen!!"

"What's wrong? Are you not convinced?" Chen Guo asked when she heard Xiao Ming's voice. After all, she felt that she could understand Xiao Ming's feelings. He had crushed them all in just ten minutes. As a veteran player of Glory, she believed that Xiao Ming could see the difference in skill level between them.

In reality, Xiaoming's skill level was among the better ones in their internet cafe; otherwise, he wouldn't have formed a team to participate in the challenge tournament. However, ever since Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu appeared one after another and brought her into the professional league, Chen Guo had a benchmark and felt that the internet cafe's customers were indeed too weak.

"What are you shouting for? The second floor is now a training area for our team members. Don't make a sound," Chen Guo said to Xiao Ming.

Upon hearing Chen Guo's words, Xiao Ming immediately fell silent, but the next moment he changed to a fawning expression and approached Chen Guo, saying, "Sister Chen, I've come to worship the great god."

"Why are you worshipping any god? You know Xiao Nai, right?" Chen Guo said. After all, when Xiao Nai defeated professional players at the All-Star Game, everyone in the internet cafe who knew Xiao Nai came to him, saying they wanted to worship the god.

"Xiao Nai already paid his respects. I was talking about Lord Grim. I've heard a rumor before that Lord Grim is actually the legendary Ye Qiu. I believed it before, and now I believe it even more. Boss, why is the legendary Ye Qiu here? Is he really planning to rebuild a team and fight his way back to the League?"

The fact that Ye Xiu was actually Lord Grim wasn't widely known in internet cafes. After all, those who watched Ye Xiu's duel with Tang Rou didn't pay much attention to his character ID, and others didn't follow him closely afterward. After the All-Star event, everyone went straight to the second floor, and other customers had no way of knowing that Lord Grim was Ye Xiu. Ultimately, only players in the tenth server were paying attention to Lord Grim at the time. Since the God's Realm was the pinnacle and final destination for all Glory players, regardless of the server, everyone wanted to enter the God's Realm. Therefore, many players weren't particularly interested in switching servers.

Those who initially watched Ye Xiu and Tang Rou's match were mainly focused on the Thousand Chance Umbrella, but ultimately, they didn't know how strong Ye Xiu was. It was just an internet cafe, and everyone was just passing through, perhaps gossiping a bit. Once the excitement subsided, no one paid any more attention.

As time went on, although Lord Grim's reputation grew, Xiao Nai was also associated with him. Xiao Nai was extremely famous at Happy Internet Cafe, so they subconsciously attributed Lord Grim's achievements to him. Naturally, no one paid attention, and he was eventually forgotten.

Xiao Ming doesn't come every day. He has seen Ye Xiu before and knows that he is the internet cafe manager here, but he has never seriously looked at Ye Xiu's character.

So he had no idea that Ye Xiu was Lord Grim. He was mainly active in the God's Domain, and by the time he learned of Lord Grim's existence, it was already after Ye Xiu and his team had entered the God's Domain. At that time, he naturally had no chance to learn about Ye Xiu's role.

So now that he's realized his opponent is Lord Grim, he immediately rushes over to worship the great god.

"Keep it low!" Chen Guo said quietly, glancing down below.

"Oh, okay. So Lord Grim is really Ye Qiu?" Xiao Ming asked expectantly.

The fact that Lord Grim is Ye Qiu is only a settled matter within the professional gaming community, so the core members of the major guilds are generally aware of it. However, because they are worried that Ye Qiu might use his existing fame to attract members, none of them have officially acknowledged Lord Grim's identity. As for Ye Xiu's identity, while Xiao Nai and his guilds have used a somewhat ambiguous approach in their promotional materials, they haven't truly confirmed that Lord Grim is Ye Qiu. After all, it's best not to cause trouble before the head of the professional gaming league confirms Ye Xiu's identity.

"That's right, it's him." Chen Guo admitted it quite readily, after all, in her opinion, it was only a matter of time before everyone found out, since everyone would know when the offline competition started. "Can I come see you?" Xiao Ming said obsequiously.

"Uh... I can't really say..." Chen Guo's tone was somewhat conflicted. After all, although everyone would eventually know that Ye Xiu was Lord Grim, Ye Xiu himself had never appeared in front of the media. It wouldn't be right for her to let him go up just because Xiao Ming asked her to.

"Don't worry, Sister Chen. As a fan of Ye Qiu, I know his habits. Look, it's just me here," Xiao Ming said.

Just as Chen Guo was considering what the other person had said, Ye Xiu and Tao Xuan came out of the training room. When Xiao Ming saw that Ye Xiu and the others hadn't closed the door, he guessed that Ye Qiu must be inside and became excited, trying to look inside.

Xiao Ming's exaggerated movements also attracted Ye Xiu's attention. After all, Xiao Ming was a regular customer at the internet cafe, and they were quite familiar with each other. Ye Xiu had even smoked with him outside before. So he went up to him and said, "Oh, Xiao Ming, you're here too."

"Huh? Manager Ye, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you in so long. I thought you finally got fired by Sister Chen for playing games." Xiao Ming greeted the manager he had smoked with before, but his gaze was still fixed on the training room.

"Wait, you just came out of the training room. You're not also a member of Boss Chen's team, are you?" Xiao Ming suddenly realized and asked. After all, if this Ye manager was a member of Chen Guo's team, then had he met the great Ye Qiu?
"Yes, that's right." Ye Xiu nodded with a confident expression.

"Is Ye Qiu, the great god, inside now?" Xiao Ming asked excitedly.

"I am Ye Qiu." Ye Xiu's tone was as casual as ever, while Tao Xuan, speaking with familiar fluency, had already taken out his phone...

Xiaoming: "(*д)?"

Xiao Ming: "(﹃)"

Xiao Ming: “Σ(Д；≡；д)” His mind kept switching back and forth between Chen Guo and Ye Xiu.

Xiao Ming: "Σヽ(Д;)"

"Uh... Sister Chen, you and Manager Ye are messing with me... right..." Xiao Ming's tone became more and more confused as he spoke.

Looking at Xiao Ming now, Chen Guo was instantly reminded of herself when she first learned the truth. A wave of emotion washed over her. She recalled how she had completely disbelieved Ye Xiu back then, and later felt proud to have a professional gaming legend working for her as a network administrator. Looking at Xiao Ming now, Chen Guo felt that her performance back then wasn't so bad after all. (End of Chapter)
