Chapter 16: Future Opponents
Bai Mo rubbed his eyes, yawned, looked out the window at the sky, and found that it was already night.
Ye Xiu had long disappeared and the suite was extremely quiet. After a quick wash, Bai Mo went downstairs to the Internet cafe.
There were quite a few people in the Internet cafe, but the lights were off. There was a screen in the middle of the hall, on which a Glory match was being broadcast.
"Huh? Sister Xiaorou, what's going on today?" Bai Mo walked to the bar. Tang Rou was eating with her bowl in her hand, her eyes fixed on the big screen .
"There's a Excellent Era match today. On match days, Guoguo will pull up the screen and watch the match together. She says it creates a better atmosphere this way." Tang Rou smiled and said, "I left some food for you. Eat it quickly. It's not cold yet."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaorou." Bai Mo was standing behind the bar, also watching the game on the screen: "Huh?"
"What's the matter?" Tang Rou turned her head and asked curiously.
The match being broadcast live now is a ring match. The two people in the center of the field are a knight and a battle mage [One Autumn Leaf].
"This knight is quite interesting..." Bai Mo said, "Generally speaking, knights don't appear in single duels or arena matches, but now they appear in a somewhat unconventional way, which means they have other intentions. From a certain perspective, this [Tide] is very powerful."
"Awesome? Will the Fighting God lose?" Tang Rou asked.
"They won't lose, but that guy called... Sun Xiang? Hmm, his hand speed will get out of control." Bai Mo took a quick look and stopped looking. He sat down leisurely and started eating seriously. "They have already given up the arena competition, and in the team competition, Excellent Era has an 80% chance of losing."
Tang Rou was a little unconvinced and continued to eat while standing. Is it really so magical that just by watching a competition, one can determine the outcome of the next competition? Humph, if Excellent Era wins later, I will laugh at this arrogant little newbie.
One Autumn Leaf controlled by Sun Xiang had a hard time winning, as his opponent was no ordinary player. Xu Bin, also known as the "Grinding King", made it very difficult for him to win.
After the highlights were played, the team battle began. Bai Mo on the other side didn't even look at it. He pulled out a web page and browsed it with great interest.
"Xu Bin! The Fighting God has found this Xu Bin again! No, that's not right, it's more like [Tide] has entangled the Fighting God! Yi Ye Zhi Qiu is completely disconnected from the team!" The director shouted excitedly over there: "Their target is Mu Yu Cheng Feng!"
Without any warning, the entire Internet cafe suddenly fell into darkness.
"Ah? What's going on?!"
"power cut!"
"What are you doing? It's just the most exciting moment!"
"Fuck, if you dare to squeeze me again, I will break your legs!" Bai Mo broke into a sweat. This fierce threat was obviously from Boss Chen.
The Internet cafe became a little noisy.
"Hey, brother, can you lend me a light?" A familiar voice sounded. Bai Mo took out a lighter and helped the man light the cigarette.
"Eh? Xiaobai, you're awake!" Ye Xiu struggled out and lay on the bar.
"Stop chatting!" Boss Chen slapped Ye Xiu.
The emergency lights in the Internet cafe lit up, restoring a little brightness. Chen Guo poked his head out to look outside, and it was still brightly lit. It seemed that there was a problem with the Internet cafe's wiring.
Naturally, they couldn't pay without electricity, so Chen Guo had no other choice but to instruct the network administrators who were still in the Internet cafe to start paying manually. Fortunately, it was the peak time for Internet surfing at night, and there were enough people in the Internet cafe. Ye Xiu and Bai Mo, who were not familiar with some old customers, had nothing to do for a while, so they squatted at the door and smoked .
"Brother Ye, were you forced away by those people?" Bai Mo asked.
“I guess so…” Ye Xiu’s face flickered in the reflection of the cigarette butt, and for a moment it was unclear what his expression was.
"The entire team of five people is divided into three small groups. It's really enough." Bai Mo sighed.
Ye Xiu did not answer. In this situation, as a former captain, he actually had very complicated feelings.
"Ye Xiu! Find the circuit repair phone number!" The situation in the Internet cafe had been settled, and Chen Guo finally had time to greet him and threw over a mobile phone used in the store.
Bai Mo had no idea what to do about this. He could do some simple circuit repairs, but he was really helpless with the complicated wiring of the entire Internet cafe.
Ye Xiu hurriedly took it: "So many repair requests? How many, boss?"
“4.”
Not long after the call, the repairman came. He was a middle-aged man carrying a repair box. The middle-aged man was honest and felt a little embarrassed after looking at the situation. In the end, he was defeated by Chen Guo and Tang Rou's beauty trap. He wiped his saliva and started repairing with high morale.
Some customers who originally wanted to wait for a call left after seeing this situation. Chen Guo apologized to them at the door and gave each of them a discount card.
Tang Rou and Ye Xiu here were helping the uncle, while Bai Mo went to check the condition of the spare motor.
Sure enough, the backup motor also burned out. This situation has never happened before, and the maintenance of the backup motor is not enough.
I scratched my head and prepared to report to my boss.
"There's nothing I can do. I can only say this again. If things don't work tonight, we won't be open. You guys should go to bed early." Chen Guo sighed. There were so many bad things today. He waved his hand, indicating that they should just take the money for the repairs from the cash box, and went upstairs to sleep.
Looking around, Bai Mo realized there wasn't much he could do to help, so he sat down at the bar, took out his cell phone, opened the web page he had just been browsing, and continued reading.
"Today is the beginning of the new season of Glory. I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. In the new season, we have welcomed many new faces!"
"Yeah, especially since Team Yggdrasil has undergone massive changes!"
"Yes, Andvari, who has been highly anticipated by everyone, finally chose Yggdrasil in the competition among several teams, but his friend, the mysterious [Her Highness Hela], did not join."
"This is really a pity, but in the end, Hela's account card was entrusted to Andvari and was also acquired by Yggdrasil."
A few black lines appeared on Bai Mo's forehead. What kind of entrustment did he make? It was as if he was dead.
"Yggdrasil has been divided into two teams for this change, and the second team is currently being prepared. According to gossip, this will be the first dual-core warlock team in the professional league. Loki from the first team will be sent to the second team, and the newly acquired Hela will also be assigned to the second team. Other accounts being created include [Fenrir], [Jörmungandr], and two mysterious accounts!"
"Oh, the Rocky family is finally here. I'm really looking forward to their future performance! Then, let's review the highlights of last season..."
Two foreign commentators were talking at the same time during the broadcast.
Two teams? Then what Andvari said before should not be groundless. Yggdrasil's ambition is really big... Bai Mo pondered.
“Oh? Is it the overseas version of Glory? Why is there no subtitles?” Ye Xiu came over with a dusty face.
"Well, this is a foreign channel, how can they give you a special subtitle? I don't know if it's broadcast in China. A friend of mine will officially debut this year, so I'll take a look." Bai Mo came back to his senses and smiled: "Maybe we can become rivals in the future?"
"Oh? That's great." Ye Xiu nodded.
"What did the master say? We must hurry up and level up." Bai Mo stretched lazily.
"It will probably take more than an hour. Oh, and don't just sit there. Go buy some supper. It's going to be hard work at night."
"Okay, I'm not full either." Bai Mo picked up his coat. That guy was also working hard for his ideal, so how could he fall behind?
Eat well and level up!
