Chapter 428 – Sweeping the Field


    “Is there anything else that I can help you two with?” Tang Rou asked.


    One of them had nced at Tang Rou’s screen on the front desk and smiled: “Miss, do you also y Glory?”


    “Yes......”


    “Is there an expert in this Inte Cafe?” the same person asked.


    “Glory expert?” Tang Rou stared nkly.


    “Yeah!”


    “What would be considered as an expert?” Tang Rou asked.


    “Hmm.......you’d probably have to fight him in order to know.” This person smiled.


    “Fight with who? You?” Tang Rou asked.


    “Any of us!”


    “You two are?”


    “We came from Grand Inte Cafe.” the other person said.


    “Oh, understood.” Tang Rou nodded her head. Even though she hadn’t been ying Glory for too long, she had been in Happy Inte Cafe for quite a while. She knew about some of the things going on between the Inte Cafes.


    Glory was currently an incredibly popr game. If you looked in any Inte Cafe, over half of their customers would be ying Glory. Every Inte Cafe would naturally borrow Glory to do some events and pull in customers. For example, the Cafe could hold Glory tournaments or broadcast pro matches like what Chen Guo was doing. These were all done to win the favor of Glory yers.


    Many of these customers went to the Inte Cafe that they were familiar with and were also quite loyal to it. Just like pro teams or in-game guilds, Glory yers also formed their own group for their favorite Inte Cafe. There was a sort ofpetitiveness between the Inte Cafes. The managers would sometimes lead Glory yers from different Inte Cafes to fight each other in Glory from time to time.


    The two fellows in front of her hade up iming they were from a certain Inte Cafe, seeking a Glory expert. These kinds of urrences had happened quite a few times during her stay at Happy Inte Cafe. Chen Guo and other Glory yers called this type of activity Sweeping the Field.


    In Sweeping the Field, the majority of the time, yers wanted to show off their skill and earn a bit of glory for themselves. It wasn’t rare for the owner of an Inte Cafe to help add fuel to the fire though. It was hard to say if this helped the business or not, but one’s own Inte Cafe winning versus another one was kind of like beating apetitor; it felt quite good.


    Tang Rou knew about the Grand Inte Cafe that the two imed to be from. It wasn’t too far from Happy Inte Cafe and was quite a good Cafe as well. The owner of Grand Inte Cafe also knew Chen Guo, so Tang Rou had seen the owner before. It had been very obvious that the owner was very envious of Happy’s location.


    Happy was right next to Club Excellent Era. This location made it a huge attraction to Glory yers. The owner of Grand didn’t have as good of a location as Happy, so he had always wanted to beat Happy Inte Cafe in Glory skill to let others know that the Inte Cafe next to Excellent Era was nothing special.


    Unfortunately, the owner never got what he hoped for during his several years of fighting. Chen Guo’s business strategy had helped her lure quite a few Excellent Era fans. yers who were fans of a team were undoubtedly big fans of Glory. Their skill level wouldn’t be bad either. Even though no earth-shattering expert had ever appeared, Grand Inte Cafe was the same. None of their customers were exceptionally skilled, so dropping by to y Sweeping the Field would just beughed at.


    As a result, even though Grand Inte Cafe was fighting, they never used such an intense method like Sweeping the Field. Grand usually held tournaments and invited Happy to y. The tournaments had solo, King of Fighting, and team tournaments, making it seem very official. However, after many years of battling, neither side had been able to beat the other. However, if they used a point system like in the pro scene, Happy would have a slight advantage, which made the owner of Grand quite sad.


    Grand Inte Cafe sending people to try Sweeping the Field was a first.


    Sweeping the Field was a double-edged sword. A sessful sweep would give you boundless glory. But if you lost, then it would be very shameful. As a result, anyone who dared to try Sweeping the Field was either very arrogant or had the skill to back it up. Tang Rou was currently sizing up the two of them, when he heard another person say: “Ha ha ha, where’s your boss Chen? I don’t see her anywhere.”


    Tang Rou turned his head to look and recognized him as the owner of Grand.


    “Boss Ma, it’s good to see you!” Tang Rou greeted. Boss Ma’s full name was Ma Chenyi and he was also a big fan of Glory like Chen Guo. His Inte Cafe and Happy Inte Cafepeted in Glory skill, which sometimes made it difficult to tell if they were businesspetitors or Glorypetitors.


    “Oh, it’s Little Tang! Where’s Old Chen?” Ma Chenyi said loudly on purpose and intentionally called Chen Guo ‘Old Chen’. Women were usually more sensitive to age than men. The bad blood between Ma Chenyi and Chen Guo had already spread to every aspect of their lives.


    “She’s upstairs. Would you like me to call her over?” Tang Rou said.


    “Call her. Of course you have to call her! Hurry up and call her toe down. There will be a good show to see.” Ma Chenyi looked to be in a very good mood today.


    “Hold on.” Tang Rou smiled. This boss had personallye to try Sweeping the Field, which meant that this time, he was very confident. Tang Rou knew Chen Guo cared a lot about this. Tang Rou wasn’t worried though. Right now, Happy Inte Cafe housed a God! Who could be more skilled than Ye Xiu? Anyone who could actually match Ye Xiu would be among the Gods in the pro scene. He’d have immediately gathered a huge amount of attention as soon as he walked in. There was no way he’d just be standing there so peacefully.


    Upstairs, Chen Guo had just started ying when she received Tang Rou’s text message. Seeing that Ma Chenyi was here to try Sweeping the Field, she immediately became overjoyed.


    If this was in the past, Chen Guo would have been quite nervous if Ma Chenyi had personallye to try Sweeping the Field. But now, with Ye Xiu, who could beat him?


    “What are you so happy for?” Ye Xiu had been rmed at Chen Guo’s suddenugh.


    “Someone’s here to try Sweeping the Field.” Chen Guo said.


    “Huh?”


    “Downstairs.” Chen Guo said.


    “Oh, you’re talking about the Inte Cafe!” Ye Xiu had experienced everything there was to experience in Glory. He wasn’t a stranger to Sweeping the Field and quickly understood why Chen Guo had suddenlyughed. With him, trying to sweep away Happy would be like trying to sweep away a mountain.


    “Why don’t youe down with me?” Chen Guo said. She clearly wasn’t going to hide anything. She wanted to directly bring in the bullet. She was looking forward to seeing Ma Chenyi’s expression after the two “experts” he had brought were crushed.


    “Sweeping the Field....... I haven’t seen it in the two months I’ve been here. Who’se?” Ye Xiu asked.


    “Someone I know well. If you go a bit farther than where you usually buy cigarettes, you might see it. It’s right around the corner over there. It’s called Grand Inte Cafe. Do you know about it?” Chen Guo said.


    Ye Xiu was helpless: “Of course I know. I’ve only stayed here for two months, but I’ve been in this area for many years. I’m just as familiar with it as you are.”


    “Oh...... I forgot.” Chen Guo said, “That Inte Cafe hase to try Sweeping the Field. I don’t know what type of expert he picked up to have the courage to do it.”


    “Has hee here before?”


    “Never. At most, he’s held tournaments between us.” Chen Guo said.


    “So it’s like that...... This..... It might be interesting!” Ye Xiu said.


    Downstairs, after Tang Rou sent the text message, she was starting to question herself when she saw that there was no reply or sign of Chen Guo! May Chenyi wasn’t in a hurry though. He looked as if he had a card up his sleeve and chuckled: “What’s wrong? Did Old Chen get scared after hearing that I had personallye?”


    “Yeah, I’m very scared!” Chen Guo answered Ma Chenyi as she walked down the stairs.


    “Old Chen!” Ma Chenyi immediately greeted, “Long time, no see! How was your break? Sigh. Another year has passed in the blink of an eye and you’ve grown older a year again. We’re now in our thirties. Have you gotten a boyfriend yet? Would you like this brother to introduce one for you?”


    Ma Chenyi mocked her, though this wasn’t anything unusual between him and Chen Guo. Chen Guo’s resistance to it had gone up just like her resistance to Ye Xiu’s words. The two of them had been like this for many years. Chen Guo’s resistance to his words had already be strong. This bit of trash talk wouldn’t faze her anymore.


    “How boring! Do you know how many times you’ve used this script?” She wouldn’t be angry, but she was still going to bite back.


    “Ha ha, I’m just here to send you my blessings. Don’t you like Sweeping the Field?” Ma Chenyiughed. He intentionally stressed the words ‘Sweeping the Field’. He said the words so loudly that even the customers on the second floor could hear them. Many of the customers took off their headphones and had been startled by it.


    Those who came to the Inte Cafe often knew what “Sweeping the Field” meant. As soon as they heard this, they raised their heads to look in their direction. When they saw the extremely arrogant Ma Chenyi, they first felt a sense of displeasure and then immediately expected that the Sweeping the Field was a joke.


    “How do you want to sweep?” Chen Guo asked calmly.


    “It’s simple. As soon as someone beats these two, we’ll leave immediately.” Ma Chenyi loudly shouted.


    As soon as these words came out, the Inte Cafe immediately went into an uproar. Sweeping the Field was Sweeping the Field, but there were many ways to sweep. Usually, they arranged a few matches and then looked at the oue after ying them out. But this guy actually challenged the entire Happy Inte Cafe. This meant that the two that arrived might actually have some real skill. Only someone with such confidence in the two of them wouldn’t be afraid to wage war with everyone in the Cafe.


    “Leave immediately? I don’t think we ever talked abouting and leaving.” Chen Guo said.


    “Oh? Then what do you want to wager?” Ma Chenyi asked.
