N-A-A Chapter 8 Severing Ties
Chapter 8 Severing Ties
"Team One, don't rush too far forward. Retreat five coordinate zones."
"Team Three suffered heavy casualties, so Team Six will replace Team Three."
"Fifth team, don't be afraid to die, you must hold on, the reinforcements from the rear are coming soon."
"The healers who were replaced by the third team, please support the fifth team first."
"..."
Su Muqiu leaned back in his chair, listening to Ye Xiu's commands through his earphones.
The duel was over, and Su Muqiu's mission was complete. He rotated his view, quietly observing the battlefield.
Something's not right.
Qiu Musu, Battle Format, and Tao Xuan casually picked up a minor character with the Excellent Dynasty Guild hanging above their heads, while all the other characters had the Happy Guild hanging above their heads.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim belongs to the Happy Guild, Su Mucheng's Orange Blossom is also from the Happy Guild, and there is a warlock who looks a lot like Soksar who also belongs to the Happy Guild.
All of the hundreds of players present were from the Happy Guild.
There were no players from the Excellent Dynasty guild, and no players from the Excellent Era team.
Where is Wu Xuefeng?
What about Yin Xiong?
What about Xue Mingkai?
What about Qin Tianran?
Where is Xia Ming?
What about those die-hard fans of the Excellent Dynasty guild back then?
Where did they all go?
What exactly is going on?
Su Muqiu listened to the constant sounds around him, silently observing everything without disturbing Ye Xiu's command.
As the sun set, Happy Guild finally defeated the BOSS.
A deep, middle-aged male voice rang out: "Boss, let's start the BOSS fight."
Su Muqiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was a male gunner named "Xiaoqiang".
A female gunner player named Zhu Yanxia excitedly picked up the loot and then loudly shouted out the names of one material and orange-tier item after another.
Finally, Zhu Yanxia announced loudly, "We're having a big meal tonight, it's on me."
An absurd idea popped into Su Muqiu's head: Could it be that this female player named Zhu Yanxia is the boss?
What about Tao Xuan?
What does he do?
What about Excellent Era?
Where did Excellent Era go?
What about Lao Tzu's Excellent Era?
What about Excellent Era, the team that I risked my life to break through the barrier between the two worlds just to come back and take a look?
"What's going on?" Su Muqiu asked with a gloomy face and a chilling tone.
The sweltering heat of Hangzhou in summer was dispelled by this question.
Having fought on the battlefield for nine years, Su Muqiu had killed countless invaders and had long since developed a fierce and murderous aura.
When the group first met, Su Muqiu was filled with joy and excitement, his murderous intent concealed. Tao Xuan, however, still exuded a powerful sense of oppression. But this oppressive feeling was evenly distributed around them, not specifically directed at Tao Xuan, who could withstand it.
Now that Su Muqiu was in full force, Tao Xuan, who was facing this menacing aura, was so frightened that he trembled and could no longer sit still in his chair, falling to the ground with a thud.
Tao Xuan's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat poured down his back, and his lips trembled, unable to utter a single word for a long time. He had a guilty conscience, and faced with Su Muqiu's powerful aura, he wanted to explain, but didn't know how.
Su Muqiu looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Su Mucheng. Of all the people in the world, throughout history, Su Mucheng was the only one he could absolutely trust.
"Mu Cheng, you tell me, what's going on?"
So, Su Mucheng started from the beginning.
It all started with Su Muqiu's incredible luck. He talked about Team Excellent Era's three-peat, the retirements of the original Excellent Era players, his own joining Team Excellent Era, and how Liu Hao and others formed cliques, causing Team Excellent Era to decline.
It is said that in the middle of the eighth season, Tao Xuan brought in Sun Xiang, kicked out Ye Xiu, and made Ye Xiu leave with nothing.
It is said that at the end of the eighth season, Team Excellent Era was relegated in a sorry state and fell into the Challenger League.
It is said that Ye Xiu started from scratch again and built a team called Team Happy.
It is said that Team Happy and Team Excellent Era met in the finals of the Challenger League, and Team Happy won, while Team Excellent Era continued to decline.
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu followed Sun Xiang to the Samsara team.
Su Mucheng and Mu Yu Chengfeng have arrived at Team Happy.
The character Wu Xuefeng, who once played a role that transcends time and space, has now joined the Howling Team with Guo Yang.
In the darkness, Xue Mingkai's character from back then has already joined the Howling Team along with Liu Hao.
Qin Tianran's "The Law Is Uncompromising" and Yin Xiong's "The Shadow Weaving" have been sold off at low prices.
The once-mighty Team Excellent Era is now just an empty shell.
And this empty shell is also going to be sold.
If Su Muqiu hadn't appeared out of nowhere today, the contract to sell Excellent Era would have been signed by noon.
As Su Mucheng spoke, Su Muqiu's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the surrounding air pressure decreased, making everyone feel almost suffocated.
Su Muqiu grabbed Tao Xuan by the collar and pulled him up from the ground. Tao Xuan's weight of nearly 200 pounds was like air in Su Muqiu's hands, effortless.
Su Muqiu pulled open his coat with his other hand, pointing to the scars all over his body: "Over the years, I've walked through mountains of knives and seas of fire, through hail of bullets. It's been too bitter, too tiring, and too painful. I've thought about giving up, but I always thought of you, of our Excellent Era, and in the end, I persevered and came back alive to see you."
"With my golden body of merit, I broke through the barrier between the two realms and returned to this world. I accomplished something that no one in history has ever done."
"But what about you, Tao Xuan?"
"You live in a high-rise building and eat delicacies, yet you've started internal strife and torn a perfectly good team apart."
"Excellent Era is not just your Excellent Era, it's also my Excellent Era, and it's Ye Xiu's Excellent Era. Back then, the three of us built Excellent Era up together, but we never expected you to ruin it all."
Tao Xuan was held in mid-air by Su Muqiu, his face flushed red. He didn't know how to explain or what to do.
Facing Ye Xiu, Tao Xuan had a thousand reasons to prove he was right.
But when facing Su Muqiu, Tao Xuan couldn't come up with a single reason.
Su Muqiu shook his hand and said, "More than ten years ago, I went to Jia Shi Internet Cafe for the first time. Back then, Jia Shi Internet Cafe was just a small, shady place with only a hundred or so computers. Now, Jia Shi has such a huge building. Tao Xuan, you must have made a lot of money over the years."
"Did Ye Xiu's decision not to participate in commercial activities cause you to lose money? No. At worst, you just earned a little less. In your eyes, earning less is the same as losing money?"
"Tao Xuan, you've changed. You've become a heartless capitalist. Friends who struggled and fought alongside you back then have become tools for making money. When those tools lost their value, you kicked them aside like stumbling blocks."
"Tao Xuan, you can't do things in such a treacherous way. Even if you two have different goals and paths, you should part amicably and see things through to the end. Even if you really end up becoming enemies, you should do it openly and honestly, without any regrets. Instead of resorting to such underhanded and despicable acts."
After saying that, Su Muqiu released his grip and let go of Tao Xuan.
Tao Xuan plopped down on the ground and burst into tears.
He truly realized his mistake, but it was too late.
Su Muqiu looked down at Tao Xuan, who was sitting on the ground sobbing: "When you kicked Ye Xiu out, did you ever think about Mu Cheng?"
"After my accident, Ye Xiu became Mu Cheng's only family. You dumped Ye Xiu, where does that leave Mu Cheng?"
"Excellent Era is full of treacherous people. You let Mu Cheng stay in such an environment for a full year and a half. How much grievance did she have to endure, how many cold shoulders did she have to suffer?"
After saying that, Su Muqiu pulled open his clothes, tore off a piece of the garment, and threw it on the ground.
"Tao Xuan, today we sever all ties and have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"Ah Xiu, Mu Cheng, let's go." After saying that, Su Muqiu pulled Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng out of the Excellent Era Club.
In the room, only Qiu Fei, who had just become a fan of Su Muqiu, and Tao Xuan, who was crying his eyes out, remained.
"Mu Qiu, if only you had come back two years earlier."
