ADAPTED FROM BUTTERFLY BLUE'S NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME, THE KING'S AVATAR
HAPPY INTERNET CAFE
What are you looking for?
If I can't stop others from intruding,
I need to make internal changes.
How many locks should I put on the attic?
What? Locks?
Or I can demolish the attic ladder.
He's introverted.
It won't be a problem if he stays there for a few days.
Hang on, Guo Guo.
That's outrageous.
I'll give him his computer.
In his world, Glory is more than enough.
As long as he doesn't show himself, the reporter will never know.
Perfect plan.
How is it perfect?
Even if the reporter won't come, the police will.
It seems like nothing will work.
What should I do?
I'm running out of options.
Guo Guo.
If you really want to keep him here,
it's not very complicated.
How should I do it?
Are you suggesting to break his legs?
It could be done.
He only needs his hands.
Of course not.
What the hell are you thinking?
I mean...
If you want to keep someone, win his heart first.
How?
Two words.
Spoil him.
"Spoil him"?
HAPPY INTERNET CAFE
That's strange.
Why is nobody calling me today?
The plan is kind of cliché,
but he is a man after all.
It should work.
Xiao Chu, he's coming.
Hey, Ye Xiu!
You're awake?
Why are you not using the vacuum cleaner?
Ms. Chen said the vacuum cleaner is too noisy.
It may disturb you.
By the way,
breakfast is ready.
Eat it while it is still warm.
It won't be tasty when it's cold.
What's going on?
This way. Have a seat.
From here to here, they are all prepared for you.
What?
What's this?
Introduce them now.
These are ten kinds of nutritious porridge,
including Eight Ingredient Porridge,
white fungus and lotus seed porridge, and porridge with red bean and corn.
They are all prepared by Ms. Chen?
Of course.
What should I do now?
There is also salty porridge!
Well, Ye Xiu...
You don't like sweet porridge, do you?
There is also salty porridge here.
Like corn and spareribs porridge, and shrimp meat--
-Stop. That's enough. -Okay.
I have a full understanding
of her mind now.
Really?
She wants to use the carbohydrate to fatten me to death.
So that she can inherit my Glory equipment, right?
Got it!
I won't be fooled.
-Wait! -Express delivery!
Ye Xiu, your express delivery!
Your express delivery has arrived.
There's more?
Hello. It's your express delivery.
It's too hard to please him.
What's this?
This is...
This is a coffee maker Ms. Chen bought for you.
In the mornings, she can grind coffee beans for you.
At night, she can make you cold brew coffee.
Whatever you like.
Please sign here.
Suning delivers really quickly.
She thinks I don't stay up late enough and wants me to work overtime everyday.
Sir, if you don't like it, it's refundable within 30 days.
-Really? -No way!
Move.
-Ms. Chen! -Wow, why is there so much porridge?
It's a pity that they're not prepared for me.
If they were prepared for me, I would thank that person well.
Why are you looking at me?
I love drinking juice.
But I don't see anyone buying me a juicer.
Appreciate what you have.
Is there something wrong with this computer?
This...
What are you doing?
Don't. Let me do it.
You're such a fool...
Why do you bother doing such menial work?
Let me do this.
Ms. Chen, what's wrong with you?
Don't you think I am
kinder to you than before?
No.
Fine.
From today on,
you don't have to manage the Internet cafe.
You can play Glory whenever you want. I will still pay you.
How about that?
I think it's a trap.
It's not.
It's only my sincerity.
Let me make coffee for you.
Here.
Be careful. It's hot.
I don't want a blend of Robusta.
I want freshly roasted Arabica beans.
Otherwise...
I want Liberica coffee, at least.
Do you have it?
I will ask Xiao Chu to buy it.
So you don't have it?
How about drinking some tea?
I have red tea, green tea, white tea...
Whatever you want.
Which one do you want?
Flower tea.
I will ask Xiao Chu to buy it too.
Then forget it.
No coffee. No tea.
Then give me a fruit platter.
Okay.
It's okay.
Ms. Chen, are you kidding me?
What?
Do you know how to peel an apple?
I peeled it!
Try it!
You call this peeling apples?
I need something artistic.
It's too ugly.
I won't eat it.
Artistic?
It's done.
You are quite deft.
The rabbit looks pretty detailed.
Sure. I'll tell you this.
It's quite difficult to carve the rabbit.
Look at its ears.
It would be broken if you are not careful enough.
Unpalatable. I won't eat it.
You such a bast...
Bastard.
Say that again.
Bastard.
Bastard, don't think that because I am kind to you,
you can take me for granted.
Ms. Chen, just be yourself.
Just speak your mind and be your true self.
Otherwise, I will have to act with you every day.
It's too exhausting.
-Act? -Yes.
If you insist on being a fan,
then I will have to put up with acting as an idol.
I regarded you as my idol, but you made a fool of me?
Fine.
You made a fool out of me?
Didn't you?
Ms. Chen, I said to speak your mind.
Not hit me!
So?
So what? I...
You are so grumpy. Aren't you afraid that I will leave?
Sure!
Don't come back if you leave.
I dare not leave.
Hello?
It's me.
Let's meet.
It has been so many years.
I've always been a novice in Glory.
When I just met Su Muqiu and Ye Xiu,
they were already experts in Glory.
As for me,
I was just a loser, who couldn't do his work well,
nor play Glory well.
The Jungle!
The Boss has appeared in The Jungle! Coordinates 234, 665!
Come here right now!
I'm coming.
Manager, check out, please.
Your time doesn't seem right.
The time passed so fast?
The timing has been tampered with.
Give me the account book.
Sir.
What's this for?
It's for recording time. It's a good thing.
Is it to steal the online time of our customers?
What a shame. You study business.
You don't know what profit maximization is?
But you can't be unconscionable and earn dirty money!
The most important quality for a great businessman is honesty!
What a businessman needs is not qualities,
but minds.
If you want to make money, stop talking about morality.
"If you want to make money, stop talking about morality."
At that moment, what I hated most was this sentence.
What's going on?
I'm going to meet an old friend.
I believe the competitive spirit we advocate
will definitely change some people's understanding
on this field in the future.
Next, we will give vigorous support to qualified people in this field,
and form the eSports team as soon as possible.
THE FIRST GLORY LEAGUE
Sportsmanship, eSports team.
These two strange and familiar phrases
thrilled Muqiu and me.
We wanted to hold the first Glory League,
inviting the trans-regional masters to compete together
and change Glory into a real competitive sport.
Tao Xuan was fired undoubtedly
due to his spat with the dishonest merchant,
and joined us.
The Poor Trio only had a broken monitor and an old computer,
but we expected to achieve greatness.
Ye Xiu, you are the commander-in-chief of the whole strategy,
as well as our elite force.
You are in charge of the competition schedule.
The whole level of this competition depends on you.
We'll just invite the players here and defeat them one by one.
For the competitive spirit in us, for our professional careers,
we had our our poorest
but the most fruitful time.
Wei Chen and Han Wenqing from the second district came to compete.
Our old assembled computer finally had to face
-the challenge from the masters. -Let me get it.
-Hello. -Hello.
Come in, please.
Ready?
Go.
Go around.
The strongest player in the second district
definitely lives up to his name.
Let's decide the winner through one move. How about that?
That's exactly what I want.
What's wrong?
Why can't I move?
Wait a minute. I will handle it.
You won't seize the chance to kill me?
This is a competition,
not a fight in the jungle.
Okay! I'm done.
There will be no...
An unfinished competition.
A broken screen.
They constituted the memories of our young days.
Ye Qiu!
Come and have a seat.
It has been a long time since I played Glory.
Cut to the chase.
Come back to Excellent Era.
Be a coach.
In fact, the position of the coach has always been left for you.
I never considered giving you up.
I have no interest in standing aside.
I prefer standing in the arena.
Being a coach is only temporary.
As long as you retire for one year,
-you can come back at once. -I have come back.
In fact, we are all very clear
that the Pro League nowadays
is quite different from that in the past.
Yes. I'll admit
that tactics and cooperation are also very important.
However, as for your high-end play,
how many of the audience can understand them?
What do they want to see?
They want to see one player fighting against many players,
or saving the desperate situation on his own.
This is what they want to see, like to see, and hope to see.
I play in competitions not to please the audience.
Dragon Raising Its Head.
You said it was just for fun.
But all the fans regard it as your representative skill.
Its practical value is limited.
Does it matter? It doesn't!
What matters is that it is irreplaceable.
Only you can use it.
Using Dragon Raising Its Head is for necessity.
-It's not for showing the virtuosity. -But you did it really well this time!
When you use Dragon Raising Its Head in the All-Star Game,
it roused the crowd immediately.
I don't believe you never realized that.
Why not seize the chance and ascend the throne thoroughly?
You are right.
But that's not what I want.
Then what do you want?
To win.
Do you think you can now
win back the glory that belong to you?
I'll try.
I...
I only focus on the future,
and I'm never stuck in the past.
As for the stumbling blocks to the future of Excellent Era,
I will throw them away without hesitation.
However,
in this regard,
we are the same.
Recently, I've been thinking
that if Muqiu were still here,
would we still be brought to this point?
Ye Xiu.
From now on, you are the core of our team.
The personnel allocations are here for you.
You can also decide the tactics.
I don't doubt your ability.
You will definitely become the top player in Glory.
Muqiu.
Here.
From now on, you are also be one of our team.
After all, only you are most tacit with Ye Xiu.
But apart from the competition,
you will have to offer some technical support too.
Issues like the design of the equipment will all be handed over to you.
They should pose no problem for a genius like you.
Tao, you are flattering me.
As for me, I will do the odds and ends for you.
I will offer the logistical support.
I believe we will definitely become the first team in Glory.
Come.
With Glory in your heart, you are invincible!
Service staff!
Throw these away.
All of them?
Including the computer?
It's broken anyway.
What is the use in keeping it?
Hold on.
It is indeed broken.
See, this is my design.
Glory now has an Unspecialized character.
But due to the cooling time of changing weapons,
and the high load,
there is much lacking in the continuity of the attacks.
We can't combine the low-level skills of different vocations perfectly.
But look!
If there is such a weapon,
it can change its forms at any time.
What do you think of it?
Then it can use all the professional skills constantly.
That's right.
This is a weapon I'm designing.
I'm calling it Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
That's awesome!
You've already thought it through and you kept it from me!
I haven't finished it.
I'm short of two materials.
One of them has two forms. It can't be switched at random.
When I'm done designing it, you can prepare for battle on all sides,
and shock the whole Glory universe!
Ye Xiu.
I heard that Muqiu and you
are designing a weapon for the Unspecialized class.
Yes.
With this weapon, I can be a proper Unspecialized.
No, that should be called a King's Avatar!
But if you don't change your vocation,
you can only use the skills of the 20th levels or less.
How will you compete?
I can. Tao Xuan, look!
Even if I can only use the small skills of Level 20 or less, it can still produce
amazing results as long as there are enough skills.
The Unspecialized character's potential
is not worse than any of the other 24 vocations.
He could even be better.
Fine. Forget about the skills.
What about the league?
What if the Unspecialized Character is not allowed to be used in the league?
What if the limitation of the level of Glory is raised?
When it's raised to the 90th level, to the 100th level,
will the Unspecialized character still be of any value?
Tao Xuan, you have already decided
not to allow me to use the Unspecialized character.
Risk!
It's about risk!
I can't ignore the danger of it just because of your whims.
I already agreed to your request
of effacing yourself and not accepting any endorsement.
Will you continue to be so stubborn?
Tao Xuan, please trust me.
Regarding these problems,
I believe Muqiu and I can handle all of them.
Think it over.
Persuade him.
MYRIAD MANIFESTATION UMBRELLA, LEVEL 56
ALL THE RARE MATERIALS HAVE BEEN REMOVED
THE MYRIAD MANIFESTATION UMBRELLA IS AT LEVEL 1
I think this time, we'd better listen to Tao Xuan.
Why?
My research failed.
I've sealed away the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
Are you kidding me? This is not joke.
Look at what you designed before.
Look at the cannon. It's so gorgeous.
And the weapons in the rear.
Right? And this one.
This...
Actually, the Unspecialized character is an unconventional vocation.
Its play is very changeable.
Even if we can use it very well,
after Excellent Era recruits new members,
it'll be hard for them to handle changeable plays like us.
That will be a big problem
for our team composition.
In fact, it's not important.
Most importantly, one day,
we can rise to the top of Glory together,
instead of depending on the weapons.
So, whether we use the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella,
and whether I lied to you or not is not important.
Right?
How about this?
Let's make a bet.
First, we'll change Excellent Era into the first team.
Then the best member of the time will reboot the Umbrella.
Deal? Do you dare make the bet with me?
Here. This is a weapon I specially made for you.
I call this weapon Evil Annihilation.
What do you think? Do you like it?
Since the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella can't be finished,
then let Evil Annihilation
accompany you in your rise to the top of Glory.
Su Muqiu.
You...
You lied to me.
This is my secret.
Ye Xiu, when you find it,
Excellent Era and you must have reached the top of Glory.
STATEMENT ON RETIREMENT
YOUR DOCUMENT HAS BEEN SENT
My retirement
has caused many related assumptions from the media and fans.
I hereby certify that
my retirement had nothing to do with others.
It was my personal decision.
With Glory in your heart, you are invincible.
Ye Qiu.
STATEMENT ON RETIREMENT
Tell them PR is not needed for now.
Okay.
The dungeon of the Heavenly Domain is a Tower of Babel.
Normally, after the player kills all the monsters,
the gate of the tower will open and send the player to the Heavenly Domain.
But the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella can't.
Because the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella still needs one last step.
It will be finished when the player passes the dungeon of the Heavenly Domain.
Before that, the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella
cannot be attacked by any frost monsters in the dungeon.
Otherwise, the umbrella will be torn apart.
So, to pass through the dungeon of the Heavenly Domain
with the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella,
you can only climb in from the outside of the tower.
Transforming the umbrella into a long sword,
you can use the skill of Swordsman, Spellblade, and Berserker.
START THE ROTARY WING FORM?
Transforming the umbrella into a rotor,
you can use the skill of a Mechanic.
I hope one day,
-the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella -Congratulations, Lord Grim
-can reach the top of Glory. -for completing the mission.
You must be very free to be waiting here for me.
I am very busy, okay?
Watch this.
You're here to accompany your captain and test the weapon, right?
I'm the one accompanying Shaotian.
