The King's Avatar Episode 15 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Ye Xiu woke up, wondering why no one had called him today. He checked the time and found it was already eleven o'clock. He quickly packed up and went downstairs, ready to work. Chen Guo thought about the method Tang Rou told her, not sure if it would work, but decided to try it first. Seeing Ye Xiu come downstairs, she quickly contacted Little Chu to implement the plan.
Little Chu was overly attentive to Ye Xiu, not only not letting him work but also insisting he eat the rich breakfast porridge Chen Guo had prepared. Ye Xiu looked at the abnormal situation and said that he fully understood his boss's intentions; she wanted to make him fat with carbohydrates to inherit his Glory equipment. Seeing this plan fail, Chen Guo had Little Chu show Ye Xiu the coffee machine she bought for him.
When Ye Xiu saw the coffee machine, he felt that Chen Guo wanted him to work overtime every day. Seeing this, Tang Rou came out to assist Chen Guo, telling Ye Xiu not to be ungrateful for the good fortune he had. Ye Xiu had no choice but to go organize the shelves first. Chen Guo ran over to help again, but ended up spilling snacks everywhere. Ye Xiu saw her like this and understood her intention.
He decided to play along and made many unreasonable demands of Chen Guo. Chen Guo finally couldn't stand it and began shouting at Ye Xiu as usual. Only then did Ye Xiu smile with relief. Just then, Ye Xiu received a call from Tao Xuan, who asked to meet him to talk. Tao Xuan hung up the phone and recalled past events. For so many years, he had always been a newbie in Glory.
When he first met Su Muqiu and Ye Xiu, they were already masters of Glory, while Tao Xuan was a failure who couldn't do his job well, couldn't play Glory well, and couldn't do anything well. At that time, the young him was a net cafe manager, but he discovered that the customers' online times had been tampered with.
Tao Xuan angrily accused the boss of earning ill-gotten gains, believing that the most important quality of an excellent businessman was integrity. But the boss told him, if you want to make money, don't talk about ethics. Back then, that was the sentence Tao Xuan hated the most, but now, he had no choice but to become such a person. Ye Xiu told Chen Guo about past events.
Sportsmanship and eSports team, these two strange yet familiar terms made Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu excited. They wanted to hold the first Glory league, inviting experts from across regions to compete and turn Glory into a real sport. Tao Xuan, who had resolutely resisted the unethical businessman, was unsurprisingly fired and joined Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu. The trio in hardship, clutching a broken screen and a dilapidated host computer, yearned to do something monumental.
For the spirit of competition and for their professional ideals, they spent a period that was their poorest yet richest time. Wei Chen and Han Wenqing, the strongest players from the second server, came to accept the challenge. Their old, pieced-together computers finally welcomed the baptism of experts. Just as the match between the few of them reached its climax, the computer suddenly had problems. Su Muqiu quickly checked it.
Han Wenqing asked Ye Xiu if he wasn't going to take the opportunity to kill him, but Ye Xiu replied, this is a match, not a wilderness duel. Su Muqiu quickly fixed the host computer and casually patted the monitor, but shattered a piece of the screen. An unfinished match and a broken screen became the most beautiful memories for these young men.
Tao Xuan tried to persuade Ye Xiu to return to Jia Shi as a coach, even saying that the coach position had always been reserved for Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu replied that he wasn't interested in standing on the sidelines; he preferred to stand on the field. Tao Xuan gave many examples, trying to make Ye Xiu cater more to the audience, but Ye Xiu didn't want to pander; his heart only contained victory or defeat.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ye Xiu, Tao Xuan told Ye Xiu that he would kick aside the stumbling blocks hindering Jia Shi. He also said, if Su Muqiu were still here, wouldn't he and Ye Xiu not have become like this? In the past, the three of them cooperated implicitly and worked together wholeheartedly for Glory. But now, Tao Xuan and Ye Xiu stood on completely opposite sides.
Tao Xuan angrily ordered the items from their past as three people to be thrown away. Ye Xiu saw the design drafts fall to the ground and couldn't help but recall past events again. Su Muqiu devoted himself to designing the thousand-machine umbrella, wanting to perfect the Unspecialized class and allow Ye Xiu to dominate Glory.
When Tao Xuan learned of this, he expressed his opposition, saying that the Unspecialized class had too many limitations and could not adapt well to Glory matches. Hearing this, Ye Xiu understood that Tao Xuan had made up his mind not to let him use the Unspecialized class. But Tao Xuan only felt that Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu were being foolish.
He had already tolerated Ye Xiu's requests not to show his face and not to take endorsements; he could not tolerate him continuing to be foolish. The conversation ended unhappily, and it was their first significant disagreement. Seeing such a scene, although unwilling, Su Muqiu made a difficult decision for the sake of team harmony—to give up the thousand-machine umbrella. Su Muqiu used the excuse that his design failed and sealed away the thousand-machine umbrella.
Ye Xiu couldn't believe this; he had witnessed Su Muqiu's enthusiasm for the thousand-machine umbrella. He thought Su Muqiu was just lying to him. Seeing him like this, Su Muqiu made a bet with him: first build Jia Shi into the number one team, and see who is stronger then, and whoever is stronger will restart the thousand-machine umbrella. Ye Xiu made the bet with him. Su Muqiu also showed him the weapon, Que Xie (not in glossary, keep pinyin?
), which he had custom-made for Ye Xiu, and told him that since the thousand-machine umbrella could not be completed, let Que Xie accompany him to the peak of Glory. Ye Xiu flipped through the design drafts again. He was surprised to find that the blank latter half had now been filled with Su Muqiu's design principles. Su Muqiu had hidden the design drafts inside the old host computer case back then.
He believed that when Ye Xiu discovered these design drafts in the future, both Jia Shi and Ye Xiu would have reached the peak of Glory. Ye Xiu closed the design drafts, as if having made some determination. He opened his computer and posted a retirement statement, stating that his retirement was a personal decision and had nothing to do with others. Ye Xiu pressed the timer and began the challenge path to the Heavenly Domain.
The Heavenly Domain Challenge dungeon is a Tower of Babel. Normally, after players defeat all monsters, the gate of the Tower of Babel opens and sends the player into the Heavenly Domain. But the thousand-machine umbrella cannot. Because the thousand-machine umbrella is still missing the final step, which can only be completed the moment they pass the Heavenly Domain dungeon.
Before that, the thousand-machine umbrella cannot be hit by any attack from the frost monsters in the dungeon, otherwise, the thousand-machine umbrella will shatter. Therefore, to pass the Heavenly Domain dungeon with the thousand-machine umbrella, one can only climb up from the outside of the Tower of Babel. Ye Xiu skillfully used the thousand-machine umbrella, breaking through numerous obstacles, and finally stood at the top of the Tower of Babel within the time limit.
With the system notification of Jun Moxiao passing the Heavenly Domain dungeon, the final step of the thousand-machine umbrella was also finally completed. He believed that one day, the thousand-machine umbrella would definitely reach the peak of Glory.
