Start cheating from The King's Avatar

Ye Xiu stood by the window, watching the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky outside. To them, they were just white dots, but when they were magnified, they were crystals with countless edges and corners.

"Very good." Ye Xiu searched for something on his body, and finally took out a cigarette box. Then he shook it and a cigarette came out. He waved his hand and threw it to Tao Xuan.

Tao Xuan watched Ye Xiu shake his hands skillfully and was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses again, something had fallen to the ground. He could only sigh and smile, "I've quit."

Ye Xiu was a little surprised to hear that Tao Xuan had quit smoking, but he still explained: "Me too, so I don't have any cigarettes, only this."

Just as he bent down to pick up something, Tao Xuan stiffly held the thing between his legs and raised his head to put it on the table. Only then did he realize that it was not a cigarette at all, but a... lollipop?

"Hahaha..." Tao Xuan laughed.

The dry laughter only lasted a few seconds, and the only sounds in the room were the humming of the heat coming out of the air conditioner and the whispers of Su Lan and Tang Rou who were quietly leveling up at the dining table.

Su Lan knew Tao Xuan's purpose for coming this time, and Tao Xuan did not want to beat around the bush and stated his intention directly:

"come back."

The lollipop on the table was still swaying because it was top-heavy, but it slowly stopped at this moment, showing Tao Xuan's light yet solemn pronunciation.

Come back, but where? Back to Excellent Era? If he goes back to take over One Autumn Leaf again, what will happen to Sun Xiang? Ye Xiu is still in retirement and will not be back for another year. What will he do if he goes back?

Ye Xiu smiled, "Back to where?"

Perhaps because he saw Ye Xiu's raised mouth corners, Tao Xuan smiled conceitedly, and for a moment his eyes fell on the lollipop that was no longer swaying on the table, and he subconsciously reached out to fiddle with it.

Su Lan and Tang Rou had not put on their headphones, and were whispering to each other while operating the system, but they still focused on the conversation between Tao Xuan and Ye Xiu. Ever since Ye Xiu asked this crucial question, the air had been silent, and the heating had seemingly stopped.

Chen Guo, who was hiding behind his door and listening nervously, also held his breath.

"Reply to Excellent Era." After a century of silence, Tao Xuan gave a reply that he had prepared and even rehearsed many times. However, his stiff tone sounded like a conclusion he had just reached after careful consideration.

The words were not spoken loudly, but the room was very quiet, and both the couple who were betting on whether Ye Xiu would leave, and Chen Guo who was clinging to the door with a nervous look on her face, could hear them.

So the next moment, Chen Guo's head slammed against the door.

"Guoguo, are you okay?" Tang Rou was startled by the muffled sound and walked over to see if Chen Guo was okay.

“If you want to listen, just come out and listen…” Ye Xiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Guo was fine. Although the muffled sound was a bit scary, she didn't feel anything. Even the door was more serious than her head. However, she was in a very embarrassing situation. She could only walk out with an annoyed and embarrassed look, and then sit at the dining table.

Glancing at Tang Rou and Chen Guo at the dining table, Tao Xuan turned around and asked with a smile, "Are you living here?"

"Ah."

"Will Mu Cheng be unhappy if she finds out that you live with two beauties?" Tao Xuan no longer looked a little restrained, and his tone was no longer solemn, but had a hint of playfulness.

Ye Xiu originally wanted to answer Tao Xuan's question, but at this moment he felt a little embarrassed.

"Why do I feel like this is the reason you came here?" Ye Xiu was speechless.

"hehe."

"Let's get back to the point." Ye Xiu smiled. He knew Tao Xuan didn't really mean anything by saying this, but just wanted to reduce the gap between them. "Why do you think I should go back?"

"Be a coach." Tao Xuan gave the most obvious answer under everyone's attention.

Ye Xiu smiled but didn't give a quick reply.

Tang Rou leaned over to Su Lan and asked quietly, "Since you want Ye Xiu to return to Excellent Era, why are you forcing him to retire?"

Su Lan thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Maybe he felt that he was worthless, but after Old Ye left, he realized his mistake and wanted to make amends."

"Very profit-oriented." Tang Rou commented.

"I'm not sure, maybe it's like this, maybe it's not." Su Lan couldn't finalize Jia Shi's thoughts with just this one sentence.

"Is letting me go back to be a coach also part of your plan?" Ye Xiu took out a candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put the lollipop into his mouth.

Tao Xuan had no intention of answering Ye Xiu's question. Since his back was facing Su Lan and the others, his face could not be seen, and it was impossible to tell whether he didn't want to answer or was unable to answer the question.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, Tang Rou was looking forward to the development of the conversation.

"I still prefer standing on the field rather than in the audience." Ye Xiu sat on the sofa, still as lazy as before, but his tone was very firm.

"After you've retired for a year, you can come back immediately." Tao Xuan responded immediately.

"Where I am a year from now, what difference does it make?" Ye Xiu said helplessly.

"You... why are you doing this..."

"Why do you have to be like this?" Ye Xiu laughed.

Tao Xuan was silent, but even though she couldn't see his facial expression, Su Lan could tell that this time Tao Xuan had no intention of remaining silent, and he would answer.

Just as he expected, Tao Xuan said excitedly: "You and I have watched the league grow step by step to where it is today. We both know that the current professional league is no longer the same as before."

"Because of the traffic?" Ye Xiu's tone was so casual again.

"Yes, but not entirely. In the past, everyone watched the outcome of the game, but what about now? No matter how detailed the tactics and cooperation are, how many viewers can understand the meaning? In the game against Samsara, wasn't it because of the tactics that Mu Cheng and Liu Hao were able to quickly score two points? But have you read the comments about these two games online? They all said that it was Samsara's mistake. Who can see the tactics behind it?"

"Zhou Zekai is the most popular player in Glory right now, because his playing style is so cool and gorgeous! But no one can replicate his moves, so this has become his signature! This is even more true of your Dragon Raising its Head, no one can replicate it, and this is your signature move. Although you think it's not very mobile, this is the move the audience wants to see. It was you who performed the Dragon Raising its Head during the All-Star Weekend, right? Then you also know how excited the whole audience was at that time, and this is what the audience wants to see!"

As Tao Xuan spoke, he tapped the table with the stick of his lollipop from time to time, as if to emphasize something.

"Zhou Zekai's moves are gorgeous, but they are not overused." Su Lan suddenly interrupted at this time.

Tao Xuan noticed Su Lan, a passerby who became famous during the All-Star Weekend.

"Is that really the case?" Tao Xuan smiled.

"At least he doesn't fight for the sake of being flashy." Su Lan was sure.

"So your sniper rifle is also like this?"

"This is indeed impossible to replicate, but it is also his strongest mobility, because they will not know what my target is. I can cancel the skill the next moment, or I can hit any character the next moment. The purpose of sniping is not to improve accuracy, but to disrupt the opponent's psychology. It is a visual interference."

"If it has no other use other than being gorgeous, what's the point of consciousness?" Su Lan paused for a long time before saying this, as if he was thinking of something.
