Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 103: Guild War

Tan Polang eventually decided to follow Ye Ci home. He was sweating after slurping down the the beef noodles, and his body was able to warm up. He followed behind Ye Ci, head lowered. Zuo Xiaolan immediately pulled him into a tight embrace and began to console him. Tan Polang felt a little embarrassed after receiving her treatment. It was as if he had grown more sensible after listening to Ye Ci's words. The bitterness and sorrow were gone.

This perked the curiosity of Zuo Xiaolan, Ye Nantian and Bai Mo. What exactly had Ye Ci said to Tan Polang? Both of them tacitly remained quiet, keeping it a top secret. Neither of them spoke a word.

After the matter was settled, Ye Ci and Bai Mo were ready to go online. Bai Mo who had not played for at least 4 days was especially antsy. Deep down, Bai Mo was suffering. How he wished that he could instantly waltz online and check in on the guild members. He had left in a hurry, without even notifying the guild members, and he felt guilty. The guild was preparing to explore the Frosty Wasteland Inner Sanctum, but he left at the most crucial moment. Bai Mo felt bad about his actions.

Tan Polang, who had composed himself, stared at Ye Ci and Bai Mo for a short moment and suddenly spoke up, "What are you guys playing? Is it Fate?"

Quite a few of the youths were playing the game Fate. Ye Ci was not surprised that Tan Polang knew of the game. She told him the truth, "Yes, we're playing Fate. You interested in playing as well?"

Before Tan Polang could answer Ye Ci's question, Zuo Xiaolan's voice rang out, "Just play your game, don't corrupt Polang. The holiday is going to end in half a month, and Polang has lots to learn at school. You want him to be like you two? Playing to the point where you don't even eat and sleep?"

Bai Mo and Ye Ci shared a look and laughed after Zuo Xiaolan spoke up. They looked at Tan Polang, shook their heads, and sighed, "Work hard in your studies, you can do it. Upwards ho!"

With that, the two went back to their separate rooms. Tan Polang immediately followed Ye Ci into hers. Ye Ci couldn't help but felt odd when Tan Polang followed her into her room, "Didn't my mom told you to go study? Why are you here?"

"What is your in-game name?" Tan Polang could only watch as Ye Ci opened up the gaming cabin.

"Why?"

"Nothing, I'm just asking." Tan Polang seemed to have something to say, but he held his words back.

Ye Ci knew that there was something that Polang had wanted to say. She knew that he would eventually spill everything out without her pushing, so she didn't press the matter.

"Okay then. Since you've asked your question, you can go study now." Ye Ci was already climbing into the gaming cabin. She waved her hand dismissively, apparently no longer having any intention to talk to the little brat. She still needed to go online and level Ol' Four up.

"Sister Ye Ci, have you heard about King?" Tan Polang suddenly spoke right before Ye Ci was about to close the lid to her gaming cabin. He had gained much more respect for Ye Ci after her "life lesson" session. Even the way he addressed her had changed.

King? Ye Ci was momentarily stunned. Of course she knew about that guy. He was the champion of the International E-Sports Tournament for 5 years. His low-profile character was as famous as his skills. He had never shown his face. Even when he attended the tournament, he did so by wearing a pair of sunglasses and a mask. The identity of the players in the E-Sports tournament were confirmed by fingerprint and a retinal scanner, which was why he was not disqualified.

It was a rather distant memory for Ye Ci, as it was something that had happened 10 years ago. She simply nodded, "Who wouldn't know about the 5-time champion of the International E-Sports Tournament?"
