ADAPTED FROM BUTTERFLY BLUE'S NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME, THE KING'S AVATAR

Goodness.

You're using my scarf as a rag?

A ragged, patched one that should be recycled.

-Isn't that the right one? -You really pissed me off!

This scarf is very expensive!

Where's the other half?

Goodness.

What can you do for this cafe?

You couldn't change the bulb!

You even needed someone to teach you how to be a cashier!

I'm so pissed off!

-You are indeed use... -Less.

If you want to keep someone, win his heart first.

How?

Two words.

Spoil him.

Non-human.

Superman.

Master.

Master, having you in my Happy Internet Cafe

is a destined blessing derived from my eight previous lives.

I have such a bad temper.

I don't want this scarf anymore.

I'll buy another one next time.

It's the Chinese New Year. We shouldn't be fighting each other.

Right, Master?

-I'll continue then. -Is it comfortable?

What?

You shouldn't be doing this kind of dirty and menial work.

I'll do it.

Ms. Chen, leave the dirty work to me.

-Let me do it. -Let me do it.

-We shouldn't be fighting each other. -Just let me do it!

Here.

Take this bank card.

-What? -Go buy a new set of clothing.

Wearing new clothes will bring you good luck in the new year.

It dropped. Let me pick it up for you.

Take it and go.

I don't need clothes. Save it to buy a new scarf for yourself.

Stop there!

Go and buy a new set of clothing.

You're always wearing the same clothes. I'm so sick of them.

Take it.

This is an order.

-Ms. Chen. -Just go.

Go.

Go.

Happy Chinese New Year, Guo Guo.

Happy New Year, Little Tang.

Why do you look so unhappy?

Did Ye Xiu piss you off again?

You can tell?

I didn't hold back my bad temper just now

and said some hurtful words again.

He still hasn't come back yet.

Little Tang, he couldn't have left for good, right?

Normal people would probably do that,

but I don't think he would.

Master is always unpredictable.

The more out of line he is, the more he looks like a master.

Don't get mad under any circumstances and tolerate his every action.

HAPPY INTERNET CAFE

You're back.

You even got your hair done!

Don't be shy. There's no one else here.

Ye Xiu!

What brand is this suit you're wearing?

Would this be from the Italian handmade clothing brand by any chance?

The brand which I only dare to watch outside the shop,

but you actually bought it?

Considering my net worth, isn't it only fair that I spend the money?

You are really driving me nuts.

Don't get mad under any circumstances

and tolerate his every action.

Forget it.

You should wear this style more often.

It makes you look really dignified.

Hey.

Well...

The light bulb went out. Can you fix it?

HAPPY INTERNET CAFE

Master.

I'm sorry, Master.

Do you want to change your clothes?

Such expensive clothes are really difficult to clean.

They are mere worldly possessions.

Please continue. It doesn't matter.

Awesome!

Put the man in a suit and he becomes a different person.

You're so different from before!

Before?

Yes. When you first came here, you didn't know how to do anything.

You had to look up a guide

-to change a light bulb -Can you be faster?

Customers made complaints three times punctually every day.

It's even more punctual than my meal time.

Hey.

Master, I didn't mean to disrespect you.

I was actually complimenting you!

This looks like too much.

Maybe I should call for help.

Miss, our store offers delivery up to five kilometers.

-Really? -Of course.

-Can you help me? -Okay.

Thank you.

Mucheng! We are in big trouble.

What happened?

-Why are you in such a rush? -There's something wrong with Ye Xiu.

What's wrong with him?

He went out and bought a suit in the morning.

When he came back, he became a different person.

He dressed like a rich guy and spoke in a pretentious manner.

Do you think...

Do you think he has a second personality?

Is that so?

What happened then?

Then...

Then he started to drop things.

He kept...

breaking all kinds of things.

He kept breaking things.

Could he be thinking about leaving and never return?

Boss,

which of these two packs of chocolates that you think is better?

They look the same. How could there be any difference?

Even though the packaging looks the same,

how do you know which one is liquor-filled and which one has nuts?

Never mind.

We'll find out when we get back and remove the packaging.

Ms. Chen, let's go.

-Check out, please. -Okay.

Maybe I should buy a watermelon for him to smash.

Ms. Chen, please grab another coffee for me.

I don't drink coffee.

Even if you don't drink it, someone else will.

Let's go.

You're still unwilling to give up?

Did you bring what I asked for?

You probably didn't bring

what I wanted either.

RESIDENT IDENTITY CARD

You didn't even thank me for lending you my stuff.

You didn't abuse Little Dot, did you?

He eats and sleeps better than you do.

I take him out to exercise no matter if it's rain or shine.

I post on every social media platform to help him make friends.

Comparing his life to yours,

he's been living in heaven while you've been living in hell.

You say the same things every time.

Can you be more creative?

In short, when will you come home?

It depends.

We'll meet again when I have time.

How long will that be?

Give me at least three years.

You're doing this again.

You haven't been home in ten years!

Can't you be a bit nicer to me?

I'm your older brother after all.

You're my older brother only when we are at home.

Here, you are just a good-for-nothing

who looks like me.

Ms. Chen, so you were with Mucheng.

Hey.

He smiled at me.

Look at him.

He even changed his clothes.

Does that mean he decided not to leave?

Do you have a fever?

You are the one who has a fever.

I don't have a fever.

Please talk some sense into him for me.

Look at him.

He wouldn't survive alone out in the world.

If he stays here, at least I can take care of him.

Come on, give it to me.

Go and talk to him. Hurry up.

All right.

He is so moody.

He pulls a long face for one second and smiles the next.

He is already a grown-up, but I still need to indulge him.

He really has no conscience.

Did you just scold me?

I didn't.

I really didn't scold you.

I have this habit.

I have a potty mouth, but my heart is still very kind.

For real.

Well done.

-Do you have more vulgar words? -What?

Ms. Chen.

What are you doing?

Ms. Chen?

Holy cow.

What is happening now?

It can't be...

Shadow Clone Technique?

Ye Qiu.

I told you.

Someone will drink this cup of coffee.

Twin brothers.

Doesn't that sound so improbable?

Hey, you.

Are you really Ye Xiu?

I have always been.

So the one in the suit is the real Ye Qiu?

He swindles and bluffs with my name.

That's not tolerable by normal people.

I used to imagine that you must be a kind-hearted girl.

But only after meeting you did I realize that

you have both beauty and kindness.

Tell me, did you come here in another attempt to take him home?

No!

I came here to see if my brother needed my help.

That's good.

Even if he went on to use 18 kinds of martial arts

trying to tie or bind you up,

you would never leave, right?

If he could do that, he wouldn't have to wait until today.

I know he must have caused a lot of trouble out here.

I came to help him deal with it.

He is very confident,

but he is always the one who gets dealt with in the end.

My brother must have suffered a lot out here.

I've been worried about him.

My brother can't stand being at home.

He wants me to take his place.

I've been taking care of my brother since we were kids.

I've been playing tricks on my brother since we were kids.

He dated a girl in junior high school,

but he broke things off after just a few days of dating.

You know what. I was the one who saved the day.

Why are you smirking?

But I remember that you were the one who dated a girl in junior high school.

I pretended to be him to break up with his girlfriend.

His girlfriend couldn't differentiate both of us

and agreed in the end.

My dad even rewarded me with a game console for that.

What else could I do?

I could only choose to forgive him.

What else could he do if he didn't reconcile with me?

He was not as good at acting as me and he couldn't beat me either.

Now I just hope that my brother can live a better life.

That way, I'll be relieved.

Your brother is doing very well now.

Even though he has retired,

the Internet cafe owner has helped your brother build a new team.

Build a new team?

No wonder he is not coming home.

I mean I have to go and thank her.

Ms. Chen, what does our team need the most?

Of course it's money.

Then you can prepare to welcome the god of wealth.

Hold on.

So you're saying that you'd like to invest...

-Invest in what? -Invest in your cafe.

It's either an acquisition or a shareholding.

Choose the one you like.

Stop kidding me, President Ye!

This is just a shabby bar counter, not a negotiating table!

Miss, I'm very serious about partnering with you.

Look at you.

You are showing your president's bearing again.

Can't you try to hold it back and fit in with the lives of common people?

President Ye, what's the point of an acquisition?

I don't have anything valuable here

other than about 100 shabby computers.

Here, drink some water.

These intangible assets are of great value though.

Intangible assets?

Are you talking about me?

As a president, you even have a special way of giving compliments.

You use all those technical terms.

I was talking about your team.

If you succeed,

the brand name Happy

will be of immeasurable value.

I'm investing in the future of your Internet cafe,

not just these 100 computers.

Ms. Chen.

Do you really want to invest?

Of course.

But before we make the deal,

you have to promise me one small thing.

You are about to be my shareholder.

There's nothing we can't talk about.

Go ahead.

It's about my brother.

Can you let him go?

Let him go?

Are you asking me to fire your brother?

Yes.

That's a bit too much.

I'll see what I can do to give you any compensation you want.

It's not so much as compensation.

It's just that you know your brother is always clumsy.

He breaks everything he touches.

Let me tell you.

In the few months since he came here,

the value of the things he broke

is racking up nearly half a year's profit of this Internet cafe.

Okay, state a price.

I'll pay the original value.

How can I let you do that?

Is this enough?

ONE MILLION YUAN

It's enough.

It's more than enough.

You're so generous.

Do you want to take your brother home so desperately?

I am here under my dad's orders.

I can't go home empty-handed.

I understand how you feel.

But there is something you might not know about.

Your brother is a bit of a legend in Glory now.

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say he has followers.

Everybody in the guild is a fan of his.

Even those rich guys are fighting to hire him.

So, President Ye.

It's not enough to just win me over.

You need to find a way to disband the guild.

Forget it.

It's not really my place to tell you.

I'm already your boss now.

Just tell me.

That's right.

I'll tell you then.

The account card that has access to his guild is kept in his room.

Well...

What are you doing here?

What's up?

If you are interested in Glory,

I can help you register for an account.

What?

But that book is too difficult for you.

I have a better introductory textbook.

No need.

All right.

After all, you have to learn how to play Glory by yourself.

Do you know that Glory implements a one-person-one-card policy?

That's why the account card is as important as the player's life.

When you really do get an account one day,

remember to keep your account card in a safe place.

It's preferably a place where nobody else can reach.

Bye.

A place that nobody else can reach?

Where is it?

Where is it?

President Ye.

What are you doing up there?

I have nothing else to do, so I'm checking the cleanliness here.

It's too dirty.

All right.

There is a box of drinks under the bed.

Can you help me to carry it downstairs?

It's too heavy. I can't move it myself.

-Drinks? -Yes.

But I didn't see any drinks under the bed.

Just take another look.

Thank you.

There are no drinks.

GLORY

I found it!

It hurts.

SOFT MIST: HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

I didn't expect him to be so popular.

Master, you're finally online.

I have to talk to you.

The guild has recruited too many people lately.

Older members are constantly at odds with newcomers.

Should we take some countermeasures to reassure everyone?

This is exactly what I need.

You've come at the right moment.

Of course we have to.

From a management perspective,

the biggest problem facing Happy Guild is

the uneven distribution of skill points among members,

resulting in an imbalance in the final distribution.

Master, why are you suddenly speaking in such a serious tone?

It seems I'll have to use a more playful tone.

To solve this problem, we will have to start with the root cause.

Well...

What do you mean exactly?

Disband the guild first.

When the opportunity comes,

recruit another batch of members with relatively stable skill levels.

Well...

If we disband the guild that has just been created,

how are we going to gain a foothold in Tenth Server in the future?

I'll bear the consequences.

Anyway, disband first. Don't keep anyone.

We can talk later.

But we should at least give some severance pay?

Otherwise, they'll riot!

Okay, give me a number.

I'll transfer it to you right now.

REQUEST 100,000 GOLD FROM PLAYER LORD GRIM

Okay. I'm disbanding right now.

The den has been destroyed.

Let's see how you're going to be the king of Glory.

HAPPY GUILD HAS BEEN DISBANDED

I will definitely bring you home this time.

From now on, everything should come to an end.

What is it? Have you given up?

You know I'm not that kind of person.

ONE AUTUMN LEAF

Whose poster do you think will be hung here in the future?

It's really hard to say.

But I'm sure that

this will be the last time you come here.

You're right.

Even if I want to come here,

I'm afraid I won't even have the opportunity.

Opportunities are always available.

So long as you are willing to contribute.

Hey.

Why aren't you carrying a box?

Given your alcohol tolerance, those are already enough.

HAPPY INTERNET CAFE

This is the first time I get to spend New Year's Eve with others.

-Cheers! -Bottoms up!

-Big fortune and great profit! -Happy Chinese New Year!

Peace all year round!

Go home soon!

Happy Chinese New Year! Cheers.

Come on, here's to you!

Thank you for being so generous,

so that our team can enjoy a fantastic Chinese New Year.

What?

What do you mean?

You were telling me to welcome the god of wealth.

How do I do that?

The easiest way to trick a rich heir is to talk to them about money.

Your brother is really bad at finding stuff.

Didn't you say that he is smart?

How about I go in to drop him a hint?

-Okay. -Take this.

How did it go?

Go!

President Ye.

There is a box of drinks under the bed.

Can you help me to carry it downstairs?

I found it!

So...

you guys have been tricking me all along.

You delivered yourself to our doorstep. How could we turn you down?

You were the mastermind behind all this, right?

Ye Xiu.

You're really...

So is he...

-drunk? -It only takes one glass.

He was like this ten years ago.

It's still the same ten years after.

Are you okay?

Everyone is tired after a day's work.

Let me carry this guy away.

-You two should turn in early. -His coat!

They sure have the same genes.

It turns out that he is as weak as his brother.

HAPPY INTERNET CAFE

GLORY

Happy New Year!

Childish!

You need to keep your innocence to be happy every day!

It's Lunar New Year's Day. I wish you a big fortune and great profit!

Come on, ask for some good luck.

Here, a red packet for you.

Childish.

I've always been the one to give out red packets.

That's your rule.

You're on my turf. I'm the one who calls the shots.

You and your brother are so different indeed.

Your brother never hesitated to grab a red packet.

Here, Mucheng. This is for you.

Thank you, Ms. Chen!

Ms. Chen, may wealth come generously to you

and your business flourishes!

-It seems this place -May you have today's glory forever!

isn't as bad as I thought.

Here.

What's that?

It's from your brother.

Is this another trick?

It's a gift that he deliberately prepared for you.

Since when has he become so cheesy?

Do you think you're the only one who has changed?

Over the years, he has changed a lot as well.

Except for his alcohol tolerance.

You weren't actually drunk last night, were you?

He has been away from home for so long.

Does he still think it only takes one glass to get me drunk?

So you pretended to be drunk to save everyone from the embarrassment,

so that everybody could enjoy a happy New Year's Eve.

I'm not as noble as you think.

You guys outnumbered me.

I'm just making the wise choice to suit my actions to the time.

You're just too stubborn to admit it.

Where is he?

Is he not even going to see me off?

Your brother is fixing the water pipes on the rooftop now.

Are you sure you are not making things worse?

Hey.

What the hell are you doing?

Making things worse.

How else can I be sure of this?

All right.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Let's settle the scores of the past ten years.

Brat, do you think I would be afraid of you?

You threw away your comfortable life at home

to do hard work here.

You're really a man of integrity.

I did all that to leave Dad to you.

Don't make my efforts go to waste.

Your efforts are used to trick me.

Thank you, you've worked hard.

I'd also like to thank you for working so hard to fall for my tricks.

If it hadn't been for your tricks,

I wouldn't have ended up like this!

I only got your clothes wet.

There's a dryer in our cafe.

Stop playing dumb. I'm talking about the past!

I was supposed to be the one to go to the summer camp.

Save it.

Someone who decided to go to summer camp because of a Transformers toy,

what great things can you achieve?

Just stay at home and be a president.

I can't take it anymore.

If you don't let me play my Transformers toy,

I won't stay here any longer.

I'm going to the summer camp.

What are you doing?

Are you packing up?

Where are you going?

To attend a school event?

Our teacher just told us to go for training.

It's Mr. Wang, right?

That's right. It's Mr. Wang.

That doesn't make sense though.

Mr. Wang has already resigned.

Why did he inform you to go to the training?

Ye Xiu, these are all your favorite things

and the money you saved up.

Are you really giving them to me?

Of course!

You're my only brother.

If I don't give them to you, who else?

Ye Qiu, come downstairs.

Go ahead. I'll help you with this.

Son, come here.

Dad.

Stop being upset.

Forget about the broken Transformers toy.

I got you a new gift.

Thank you, Dad.

EVERYDAY ENGLISH

You like to watch foreign movies, right?

So you have to learn English first, right?

Yes.

Ye Xiu?

YOU PACKED WELL. I WILL GO TO THE TRAINING IN YOUR PLACE.

DON'T MISS ME. FROM: YOUR BROTHER

This is bad.

Damn it, give my luggage back to me!

Even if I did it because of Transformers, you were no better than me.

You just wanted to play Glory.

I'm not your average gamer.

I'm a professional, understand?

I don't understand.

Do all presidents like you only count money instead of studying?

But you have already retired.

Retirement doesn't mean anything.

I just need to start all over again.

Sportsman's mentality, understand?

How are you going to start all over again?

By building a team?

Yes.

It's not that easy to build a team.

Is it easy to be a president?

You know what I mean.

It's not like the old days anymore.

The eSports industry has been completely commercialized.

If you want to build a team,

funding, resources, and connections are all indispensable.

Are you really prepared for what's coming?

Plus, it's not only about you.

Like it or not, it's going to impact many other people's lives.

You can't just hold onto your own dream.

You also have to consider a lot of real-world problems.

I know.

This is for you. Remember to wear them.

All right.

I've said all there is to say.

I'll help you keep this from our family for now,

but I have no control over the future.

Hey.

Who can still be so passionate about Glory after playing it for so many years?

Aren't you tired of it?

Glory?

I wouldn't lose interest even if I have to play another ten years.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Gosh.

He is finally gone.

He is even harder to deal with than you.

Is my older brother really that hard to deal with?

Hold on!

Are you Ye Qiu or Ye Xiu?

Qiu Qiu.

Qiu Qiu?

If you're Ye Qiu, I would be Xiu Xiu.

Are you trying to fool me?

You have a clear mind now.

Can't you just buy me a new one?

Why bother fixing this shabby old one?

COME AND INVEST IN ME NEXT YEAR!

Ye Xiu, you're still trying to play tricks on me.
