Defeat!
From his current position, Cucu find himself staring blankly at his monitor while thinking adrift. He couldn't understand at all. In his game against Ye Xiu, he didn't win even a single round. They fought thrice and he almost won from the last round but he was surprise from Lord Grim's sudden blitz of connected skill attacks.
He couldn't find an opportunity to attack? How? His thoughts run wild.
Although he escaped once from the combo thanks to his Reinforce Ironbone thinking he could retaliate, unfortunately those are nothing but a false hope. Lord Grim uses the same skill to oppose his. And after their super armor subsided almost the same time, the nightmare started for the second time.
He can tell what Ye Xiu's did was a high level of technique. . .a Juggle
Thanks to this, Cucu almost cover his mouth in shock from those perfect and infinite combos. His Murder of Crows is either flying through an empty air or slamming through walls and ground and picking up again like a bundle of hay.
In the end, his Murder of Crows is slaughtered single-handedly. The blood of Lord Grim from the moment before he lose his momentum didn't fall even a bit of percentage.
Those juggle. Not only Cucu is familiar with as it is the term uses on the Arcade he once reigned, he is also quite pro of using it Sadly his life changed to worse the moment he's about to reach his peak.
Still, he didn't lost one bit of pride when he lose against Ye Xeiu. He only stares towards the latter next to him as Ye Xiu only smile faintly while shaking his wrists.
A God among men, I see. Cucu thought so.
So that's why others called him 'God Ye'. He thought so for the second time.
Although he just recently played Glory, he surely realized that the moment he massacre those 5-man ordinary players, his skill didn't turned rusty since his Avatar was once called 'God' from the popular Arcade he played is still on its peak. . .Not once did he think he would lose against another God. But his lost against Ye Xiu, he was enlightened yet happy, maybe because of euphoric he felt like the last time.
He learned that a God reigning in this game couldn't be trifled with.
But. . .the betrayal are still fresh in his memory, as it is engrave deeply inside his heart, thus. . .
He unknowingly shook his head.
Don't, don't do this.
I can't, I should not.
What if it happens again?
Gripping his chest while thinking so, Cucu heart skip a bit for a second. But his thought was snapped back to reality after Chen Guo patted his shoulder. "Are you alright?"
"Nothing, I'm sorry" Cucu replied rather softly
"How is it? Glory is fun right? Now, now, how much you want for a contract?" To which, Cheng Guo didn't hear.
She's just smiling while softly rubbing her palms while saying so, inserting herself between Ye Xiu and Cucu. She's a bit creepy though.
She turn creepier specially after watching the battle between him and her strongest player, Ye Xiu.
But for some reason, Cucu's eyes grew wide. "W-what do you mean?"
A contract? That fast? Isn't the process too long to prepare, enough for him to faked by his old mate? Cucu thought so. But Chen Guo is dead serious just looking at her face.
"What? you don't want to? That account is now yours to play. Isn't that amazing? Isn't Glory exciting? Isn't it? hm?"
After Ye Xiu seeing his boss looking desperate like this, he couldn't help but helplessly shaook his head.
Then again, he stares unto Cucu while still massaging his wrist from the burst of APM. Ye Xiu couldn't help but to smile faintly. Even the strongest contender is hopeless infront of his unspecialized blitz, but the man he just defeated could almost cope up who only saw it for a couple of times. Is that a talent?
But Ye Xiu believed that a talent couldn't defeat hardwork. And as he always said, Glory isn't a game of a single person. .So he's still doubtful about Cucu's future with team Happy if the latter accepted the offer to be its member. After all, Glory is a battle between teams to achieve glory itself.
Still, if he ever. . .That big if. . .
. . .Then, Team Happy is at its strongest right now even without him leading.
"Not bad for a scary man, heh?"
This time, someone spoken. . .Thanks to his words, Cucu almost forgot his physical appearance and pulled off his bangs yet again to cover his face.
"You prick, don't scare our new recruit!"
"But Boss, I'm saying---blub blub"
The man who said that word, Fang Rui's mouth is immediately covered by Ye Xiu then stated. "Trashtalk him later after signing a contract"
Cucu gulped deep after hearing the these men's conversation. These two are so mean. . . Are all Professional players like this?
Those who heared Fang Rui; Wei Chen grinned so as Wu Chen, An Wenyi covers his chest in a bit of worry, whole Mo Fan is still deadpanned like usual, even Qiao Yifan gulped from Fang Rui's sudden remarks. . .
And. . .Tang Rou, from the sideline couldn't help but face palmed after hearing her former and past captain, talking like their normal routine even during tournament. Even Chen Guo shakes her head and pulled off Cucu away from the training room, from those shameless duo. . .
