Chapter 5: Axiu, take this Dragon Fang!
Ye Xiu had many years of combat experience using Dou Fa (Battle Mage), so his proficiency with Dou Fa (Battle Mage) skills was unmatched.
In just an instant, he judged that this skill would hit him at its maximum range!
A Dou Fa (Battle Mage)'s Dragon Fang followed by any control skill could unleash a combo, which would drastically reduce his health, or even kill him directly.
Normal players would make such attempts.
But the problem was, Ling Chen was too fast! In a short attack interval, he performed at least ten operations!
Ye Xiu originally thought that Ling Chen was only of professional level, so his operations were not too serious.
Ling Chen's sudden change of pace caught him off guard!
Such hand speed and precision were definitely not something an ordinary professional player could achieve.
Ling Chen boasted that he could make professional players unemployed, and now it seemed his words were not empty.
If he was hit by Dragon Fang, then he might really be "abused."
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu dared not relax anymore, his hand speed sharply increased, and the sound of rapid tapping gradually rang out.
Zhu Yanxia controlled the cannon muzzle, and a laser shot out from the hand cannon, and the next moment, the laser cannon's light shone brightly!
Charged Laser Cannon!
A light-attribute damage cannon with an extremely long range.
And it came with a huge recoil!
Ye Xiu used the recoil of the laser cannon to narrowly avoid the judgment range of Dragon Fang!
While floating in the air due to the recoil, normal attacks were fired simultaneously with the laser, as if there was no cooldown.
The laser grazed Ling Chen's side and hit the open space in the Arena.
"Wow, Ling Chen, you're so devious! You actually secretly pretended to be a newbie and hid in the smoke to ambush Ye Xiu."
Seeing Ling Chen's counterattack being effective, Chen Guo was a bit surprised!
"Can things in glory be called devious? This is called being resourceful," Ling Chen said, staring intently at the screen, his keyboard clattering, while instinctively defending himself.
Chen Guo saw Ye Xiu use a laser cannon to evade Ling Chen, while constantly adjusting his position, using normal attacks to link skills, and slowly widening the distance from Ling Chen.
She huffed, "Resourceful your head, you didn't even hit Ye Xiu or land a Dou Fa (Battle Mage) combo, and your devious ambush failed."
"Ye Xiu is about to escape. Let's see how you're going to fight."
As she spoke, Ye Xiu also, through a combo, narrowly pulled out a skill's worth of distance.
Ling Chen's control skills could no longer directly hit him.
But his movement space was also compressed by Ling Chen, and if this continued, he would definitely take a full set of skills, and Ling Chen could also win by relying on the countdown ending with a health advantage.
Chen Guo's eyes again showed that familiar mischievous smile: "Although you still have an advantage, the premise for your raise is to 'abuse' him! You know the meaning of 'abuse', right?"
"Defeating the opponent within 40 seconds is called 'abusing' them, you know?"
Uh...
Ling Chen thought for a moment, then said seriously, "But I remember, you said you'd give me five hundred if I won."
Upon hearing this, Chen Guo hesitated.
She really had somewhat forgotten whether she said 'abuse' or 'win'.
"Uh, never mind, never mind, I'm changing it now, you only get it if you 'abuse' him." Chen Guo immediately played coy.
Ling Chen smiled inwardly and said, "How about this, you give me three hundred if I win, and five hundred if I 'abuse' him. You can't not give me even three hundred, right?"
Chen Guo was silent for a moment.
What Ling Chen said was quite reasonable.
Letting someone fight for free after winning felt a bit stingy.
However, Chen Guo saw Ling Chen's smile and instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Boss lady, you are so noble and beautiful, please be a little more magnanimous. Besides, Ye Xiu is very strong, much stronger than many professional players, and fighting him is very tiring for me."
"Fine, fine, it's just that I'm kind-hearted. Seeing you two fight so intensely, I'll give you three hundred if you win." Chen Guo nodded.
Although she was bad, she was also a five-year veteran player of glory.
She could understand a thing or two about Ling Chen's and Ye Xiu's skills.
Although she felt that reaching professional level was too unlikely, they were still very impressive.
Ye Xiu, who was standing by, heard this.
A faint smile appeared on his face: "Boss lady, I remember you said that as long as I fought one match, you'd let me be the internet cafe manager, and if I beat Ling Chen, you'd add five hundred to my salary, right?"
Ever since Ling Chen played dumb and caught him off guard.
Ye Xiu knew that with little fundamental difference between the two, it would be difficult for him to reverse the disadvantage.
What's more, Ling Chen also had a Silver Weapon.
If he dragged it out, he would most likely lose.
Seeing Ling Chen's tone, he knew Ling Chen was probably trying to fool the boss lady, so Ye Xiu also started to bluff.
Chen Guo was a bit stunned.
She always felt something was off.
But...
It seemed what Ye Xiu said was not wrong either. She only remembered that she just wanted to see them fight a match at the time, and the conditions were just casually thrown out.
Chen Guo's tone was hesitant: "Is that so? But I remember it was like, you only get hired if you win..."
Ye Xiu's face showed some confusion, and he asked seriously, "But I remember, you said you'd hire me if I just fought?"
"Ling Chen is so strong, fighting him is quite tiring for me..."
Chen Guo immediately felt a headache: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't say any more. You're hired after the fight, you're hired after the fight."
Ye Xiu also smiled. Originally, whether he was hired or not wasn't important, but Ling Chen's appearance piqued Ye Xiu's interest. He now only wanted to be hired to learn and exchange with Ling Chen.
Although he would most likely lose this match, if he gave his all, he could drag it out until time ran out.
But being 'abused' was completely impossible.
Fortunately, the boss lady was quite naive, so he could indeed be the internet cafe manager.
Chen Guo also thought so.
The time had already reached thirty-five seconds. Ye Xiu hadn't lost a single drop of blood yet. To be quickly defeated, he would at least need to take a full combo.
And a Dou Fa (Battle Mage)'s combo would take at least ten seconds to deal enough damage to take down Ye Xiu.
So Chen Guo also felt that it was unlikely for Ling Chen to quickly defeat Ye Xiu.
"I didn't expect you to be so devious, but it might be too late to 'abuse' Ye Xiu now, huh?" Chen Guo said somewhat smugly, "It's a pity my three hundred yuan is about to fall into the hands of a scoundrel like this."
"That's not necessarily true," Long Chen said faintly.
He swung his long spear, then launched a Dragon Fang towards Yi Xiu!
But the distance was too far, and Dragon Fang missed as expected, just hitting the ground hard and kicking up a spray of stone fragments.
Seeing this, Chin Guo laughed heartily: "Long Chen, what an ugly Dragon Fang! Trying to hit Ye Xiu from that distance is a bit of wishful thinking, he's not a rookie."
Yi Xiu was also a bit puzzled.
Logically, Ling Chen's skill level was so high, he shouldn't be unaware of his own strength, so why would he make such a poor move?
Moreover, if Dragon Fang didn't hit, Long Chen would have a considerable period of time where he couldn't perform a Parry.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiu immediately launched three normal attacks.
As long as they hit, he could regain the upper hand and kite Ling Chen to death.
"Now Yi Xiu is attacking you, let's see what you'll do, hmph!" Chen Guo said with a smile, "Still thinking about three hundred or five hundred? Now you won't get a single cent!"
