Web Novel and Donghua

• Chen Guo's face in Episode 3 after she has cried so much that tissues are sticking to her cheeks. The sight of her actually terrifies Ye Xiu.
• Steamed Bun attempting to fight the Wild Boss in Episode 4, only to accidentally slap the boss instead and raising the aggro, leading to the other watching players to call him an idiot.
  • And later on, his attempts to throw sand and the brick ended up either ineffective or hitting his own teammates.
• Shaotian's first appearance is him (badly) trying to be inconspicuous when visiting the Internet cafe.
• PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK PK
• The guilds' first attempt to ambush Lord Grim's allies in the donghua is equal parts epic and hilarious. Possibly more hilarious than epic, but definitely in a good way.
  • Huang Shaotian verbally bashing the shit out of his opponents after they make the mistake of calling him "trash". His entire rant about trash is also a delight.
  • While chasing another player after seeing his Orange-tier sword, Huang Shaotian quickly beats the guy, who's sent flying until he's pressed flat against what's either the screen or an invisible wall in the game.
  • While briefly dueling Ye Xiu, Huang Shaotian's avatar suddenly trips in the most ungraceful manner... because he's out of stamina.
  • Ye Xiu struggling to speak to customers about their orders while simultaneously battling his ambushers, who are hearing everything he's saying.
    Cold Night: Oh no! He's secretly signaling the others! They're going to engage!
    Chen Yehui: "Secretly signaling", my ass! It's clearly a net-cafe supervisor handling his customers!
  • When the guild leaders of Tyrannical Ambition and Samsara are the ones left standing, they realize that they're also dead meat when Huang Shaotian gets mad over having the least kills.
• After another unsuccessful attempt by the guilds to ambush/kill Lord Grim, Ye Xiu proceeds to mock several players by tallying how many times they were killed by him.
  “You died four times! It must have been very difficult.”
  "You died three times! It couldn’t have been easy."
  "Four times.”
  “Two times.”
  “Wow, not bad. You never died once? What do you think? Want to join our Guild Happy? Our guild is in need of lucky people like you.”
• In chapter 721, Qiao Yifan politely greets Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin by name within earshot of a horde of Excellent Era fans. Chaos ensued. Excellent Era became paranoid of him since then.
• Ye Xiu is still trying to "convince" Mo Fan to join his team. He decides to enlist Zhang Xinjie to help kill Mo Fan before hastily restating that he wanted Mo Fan's character killed, not Mo Fan himself.
• Wei Chen is a walking hilarity. You can find him funny or you can find him disgusting, but this walking joke is a riot.
  Ye Xiu: Don't forget, I still have your Death's Hand.

Live-Action Drama

Episode 1

• The Epic Fail of Ye Hui's efforts to score the first kill in the seventh match during Glory's 8th Season. Poor guy had no way of knowing that Tiny Herb purposely let their cleric fall behind so he could be used as bait, then obliterates Total Darkness in seconds.

Episode 2

• When Chen Guo asks him if he has any prior experience working with computers or knows any sort of technical know-how, poor Ye Xiu can only tell her that, no, he can't do any of that sort of stuff. When Chen, obviously frustrated with him, asks what he can do, what is his response?
  Ye Xiu: I...play Glory well.
  • Even more hilarious is Chen's reaction. She looks like she's about to tell him to get out of her cafe and looks him dead in the eye. Then she promptly tells him he's hired.
• Ye Xiu's first day on the job. Sweet merciful crap, is it hilarious. He wakes up late and, worried about incurring the wrath of his new manager, tries to sneak past. When she does catch him, she tells him to change the light bulb. When it doesn't turn out, Ye Xiu goes to the power box to try and fix it. Unfortunately for him, when Chen Guo arrives and tells him to hurry up, startling him in the process, he accidentally flips one of the breakers and turns off a portion of the power in the cafe.
  • Following this after Che Guo covers his mistake by saying they'll be running maintenance, Ye Xiu tries to cover his ass by calling for a repairman, only for Chen to stop him before he can leave. Realizing he's screwed, Ye Xiu tells her that she can take take out his salary per the cost of the damages. Normally, Ye Xiu would be getting payed 3,000 dollars a week, but since he just started and is on probation he only gets half of what other workers normally get. When Chen Guo deducts his pay from unpaid internet usage fees, food and drinks, repair fees and insurance, Ye Xiu has more or less his entire paycheck drained. And that's not counting for the repair fees for maintenance. Add it all up, and Ye Xiu has to pay over 9 million dollars.
  • When Ye Xiu realizes he cannot find a way to repay Chen Guo for the damages, she sits down next to him and tells him that he has to do what she says. He immediately moves to a different seat, as if he's afraid of sitting next to her. It's clear that Chen has, unknowingly, made the legendary Battle God of Glory terrified of her. All because of a freaking light bulb.
    Ye Xiu: One light bulb was the cause of my downfall.
• Sleeping Moon, or Chang Xian as he's known as publicly, is a hardcore fanboy of Ye Qiu here. And how does his first meeting with Ye Xiu, his idol, go? He got fed up when Ye Xiu was taking too long to work on the registration and did it for him. All the while, Ye Xiu thinks he's part of another internet cafe and is not-so-subtly asking him if he's looking for work, no doubt trying to get out from underneath Chen Guo's thumb.
• Speaking of downfalls, though, Sleeping Moon in the live-action really takes the cake. The guy was practically speaking all of his plans out loud...all the while Ye Xiu was sitting in the computer right behind him, listening to every word.
• Unlike in the web novel and anime, where Ye Xiu and Sleeping Moon's guild take on the boss, Chen Guo pulls Ye Xiu away to play a reel of Ye Qiu's feats in Glory. The entire time he's away, Lord Grim is being pummeled by the boss. While the others think that Ye Xiu got disconnected, Sleeping Moon believes that Ye Xiu is actually letting his HP fall on purpose, just so he can pull off a miraculous comeback and rub it in his face.

Episode 3

• Due to a technological failure on his part, Ye Xiu accidentally links his monitor to the cafe's TV screen, showing everyone his battle with a boss. Chen Guo looks ready to clock him when she realizes what he did, albeit by mistake, until she sees just how good Ye Xiu is at Glory first-hand.
• Seeing his attempt to foil Ye Xiu fail, Chang Xian pulls a Rage Quit moment and pulls out his card before stomping off.
• After his victory, Ye Xiu is forced to play along with Chen Guo's plans to appeal to a customer who saw Ye Xiu's performance. You can practically see just how uncomfortable Ye Xiu is as he tries to say he's nearly as good as Ye Qiu while everyone also praises him for playing like Ye Qiu... when he's the real Battle God of Glory in the flesh.
• Xu Boyuan (Blue River), the poor sod. Even in a live-action adaptation, the guy can't catch a break. Both before and during a meeting with the other guild members, he's spamming a friend request for Lord Grim. And during said meeting, when the other members discuss Lord Grim and possibly recruiting him, Xu Boyuan brings up the possibility that Lord Grim could be a spy since he's refused to join any guilds. Later on, Bound Boat learns that Xu Boyuan managed to get Lord Grim's cooperation, but much like in the anime and novel, what started out as a recruitment quickly turned to hiring when Lord Grim turned the tables and started haggling. It takes Bound Boat explaining to Xu Boyuan by way of a play-by-play and showing a recording of their bargaining that Ye Xiu played him like a fiddle. Xu Boyuan is utterly depressed and is in the fetal position afterwards.
• When Ye Xiu and Blue River set off for a Speed Clear, the latter asks Ye Xiu what the plan of attack is. Ye Xiu doesn't reply and instead carves a circle around the party. Xu Boyuan thinks it's meant to be a representation of them working towards a common goal... Then Ye Xiu flatly tells them to stay in the circle.

Episode 4

• After Ye Xiu lures the Blue Brook, Tyrannical Ambition, and Herb Garden guilds to their doom by enraging the wild boss and siccing it on them, both Cold Night and Plantago Seed are outraged and curse Lord Grim. But moments later, they immediately invite him for dungeon clears.
  Plantago Seed: Lord Grim, you'd better not let me see you again in Glory.
  Herb Garden player: And what if you do meet him again?
  Plantago Seed: Of course, we'll have to recruit him!

Episode 6

• Huang Shaotian asking for the wi-fi password from Ye Xiu. The entire exchange is hilarious.
  Huang Shaotian: Hurry, your log-in password.
  Ye Xiu: "Ye Qiu is an unrivaled super hottie."
  Huang Shaotian: I'm asking for the password, you narcissist.
  Ye Xiu: ... "Ye Qiu is an unrivaled super hottie."
  Huang Shaotian: Had enough fun yet? I'm probably the only one who'd tolerate this behavior.
• Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian reminiscing the past, particularly the memory where both were sneaking out from training camp, and the flashback ends with Ye Xiu getting bitten by a guard dog. On a meta level, it gets even funnier when you recall another role of Ye Xiu's voice actor, who's deathly afraid of dogs.
• Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian's entire game of I Know You Know I Know about the latter helping Lord Grim reclaim the dungeon record in the Boneyard using a different avatar. Yu Wenzhou's almost having fun slowly wearing down and — ever so nicely — backing Huang Shaotian into a corner and pressing him into confessing, and Huang Shaotian just keeps trying to play dumb and derail the conversation... to no success.
  • Watching the confident motormouth trashtalking Shaotian become uncharacteristically quiet and almost afraid of his team captain, who remains soft-spoken and calm the entire time. Yu Wenzhou's name is even listed as "I'm dead if I don't pick up" in Shaotian's phonebook.
  • Shaotian exclaims that the fact that he can leave to meet Ye Xiu is proof of his status within the team, only to sheepishly admitting moments later that he snuck out through the employee entrance.

Episode 7

• Wang Jiexi being photographed for a promotional purposes, and the entire conversation his team has with the photographer is about what to do about his mismatched eyes.
• After Chen Guo gets upset that Tang Rou is spending more time playing Glory than with her, she scolds Ye Xiu and berates him for playing all day instead of doing any actual work. His response is to play a recording where she explicitly told him that training Tang Rou in Glory also counts as work, to which then she tries to delete the recording out of frustration.

Episode 8

• Ye Xiu eating the cakes meant for Tang Rou. Not once, by twice. Who would've thought that the Battle God has a Sweet Tooth?
  • Better yet, in the first instance, Ye Xiu was meant to get Tang Rou to stop, having been fighting Tiny Herb for over two hours. He tries to get her to stop by telling her she's been doing good... but then goes into gamer mode when he sees her loss record and immediately forgets he's supposed to get her to eat the cake Chen Guo bought her and starts to give her advice while pointing out her flaws. All the while, in the background, Chen is trying to get him to stop.
• Bao Rongxing and Qiao Yifan meet for the first time. While giving Qiao a ride to the Happy internet cafe, Bao says Qiao looks like a noob, and gives him encouragement. Never mind the fact that Qiao is a professional player and Bao is the actual noob.

Episode 14

• Chen Guo's reaction to learning that her bumbling employee, Ye Xiu, is her idol Ye Qiu. Up until this point, she admitted into thinking he was a loser and remembers her treatment of him, especially having him work for free after failing to fix even a single light bulb of all things. She is depressed over her actions, all for a few seconds before she gushes about how cool Ye Xiu is, even after finding out what he's like in person. The power of a fan girl, ladies and gentlemen!
  • Funnier still is how Tang Rou is shifting uncomfortably in the background, clearly taken aback by her friend's newfound behavior.
  • The dynamic between Ye Xiu and Chen Guo becomes rather awkward following the All-Star competition. Now realizing her employee is her idol, she can't even sit in the same seat next to him without feeling uncomfortable and tries to sit next to Tang Rou, only for another passenger on the bus to tell her she's sitting in his seat. At first, she makes up an excuse, but quickly changes her mind when the passenger nearly recognizes Ye Xiu.
• Chang Xian learns that the network manager is Ye Qiu, and much like Chen Guo, he's ecstatic and questions him about various things. All the while, Chen Guo is desperate to get him to stop, unaware that Ye purposely put on a mask in order to get Chang Xian to realize who he was^note Prior to being given the boot, Ye Xiu always wore a mask and hat over his face to prevent people from seeing what he looked like and get Chen Guo to stop skirting around Ye Xiu and start talking to him normally again.
  • When Chang Xian tells Ye Xiu he leads the Full Moon guild, the Battle God decides to have a little fun with him and says he knows him from the leaderboards, but points out he had help from Lord Grim. Xiao has no idea that Ye Xiu is the player behind Lord Grim until he calls Chang Xian by Lord Grim's nickname for him, says he plays an Unspecialized Character, then tells him he is Lord Grim. Chang Xian can only splutter in disbelief before he rushes out of the cafe.
• Chen Guo, after being talked down from closing the cafe to prevent Xiao Chang from going after Ye Xiu and invade his privacy, decides to help Ye Xiu by going Yandere mode, debating whether she should either demolish the stairs leading to the attic or install locks.
  • Taken to the extremes when Tang Rou says there's a simple way to keep Ye Xiu from leaving, Chen gives Tang a knowing look, and immediately jumps to breaking Ye's legs while reasoning that Ye only needs his hands in order to play. Tang's face at her friend's reasoning is priceless.

Episode 17

• Simply put, Hilarity Ensues when Xu Boyuan goes to Happy Internet Cafe in an attempt to spat on Team Happy's activities, and Chen Guo suspects him of being a criminal. For further detail:
  • When Xu Boyuan sneaks into the VIP room, Chen Guo locks him inside and proceeds to gloat about it... and then Xu Boyuan breaks the locks. Needless to say, he's not amused. They spend the next few minutes chasing each other across the cafe.

Episode 18

• Chen Guo's meeting with Ye Qiu, Ye Xiu's twin brother. She has no idea it's him, and apparently, Ye Qiu has the same habit as his brother and decides to Troll her, pretending to be his brother while being his usual self, albeit coming off as a bit pretentious and arrogant. Unfortunately for him, though, Chen Guo makes him screw up at things he is far better at than Ye Xiu, causing him to drop items constantly and break them, much to his annoyance. One might almost think he pities his brother for having a boss like Guo.
• Ye Xiu and Ye Qiu's meeting while Chen Guo and Su Mucheng are at the store. At first, it seems like a shady business transaction of some sort...when in reality, it's just Ye Xiu returning his ID card and Ye Qiu giving him a picture of his pet dog. When Ye Xiu asks him if he's been taking good care of his pet, Ye Qiu states that the dog lives a better life than he does.
• Chen Guo's reaction to seeing Xiu and Qiu together is just hilarious. She's stunned and trying to figure out what in the heck is going on, all the while Ye Qiu is grinning before she wonders if Ye Xiu pulled a real-life Shadow Clone Technique. The look on her face when Ye Qiu introduces himself under the name Xiu has been going by in the eSport scene for the last ten years is hilarious.
• While Ye Qiu talks with Su Mucheng, Ye Xiu talks with his boss. Guo is worried that Ye Qiu is here to bring him home after Xiu reveals he technically ran away, but Ye Xiu assures her that he's the one who gets dealt with. According to Ye Qiu, however, he's here to help his brother, as he thinks he has had it quite rough, especially after he meets Chen Guo for himself. Mucheng, however, isn't buying it for a second. As all this happens, one brother claims to be the responsible one while the other flat-out admits he loved playing tricks on his brother.
  • What makes this scene even funnier is that Ye Qiu is trying to tell an embarrassing story about Ye Xiu, claiming he dated a girl back in middle school, only to break up a few days later while he tried to mend the relationship. In actuality, it was Ye Qiu who was dating her, and Ye Xiu pretended to be him and broke up with her, since she couldn't tell either of them apart. Their father gave Ye Xiu a gaming console as a reward.

Episode 19

• Qiao Fei telling Ye Xiu that he could be his apprentice, believing Ye Xiu works at the Excellent Era restaurant and not realizing he was talking to the captain and Battle God of Glory himself.

Episode 25

• When trying to find Mo Fan, Wei Chen's sources told them he is a cashier at a café. Only for Ye Xiu, Wei Chen and Bao Rongxing to believe it was the other cashier who was obese and intimidating and the one bullying the real Mo Fan.

Episode 32

• After a night of drinking, everyone except for Ye Xiu was late to practice and he proceeds to punish them by having them do push-ups. Bao Rongxing and Mo Fan pout at Ye Xiu to make him relent, which unfortunately for them, doesn't work.
• Later, Bao Rongxing, Mo Fan and An Wenyi complain about how tough Ye Xiu was on them and start trash-talking about him. Ye Xiu overhears and punishes them again. Poor Yifan, Luo Ji and Wu Chen get dragged into it as well due to being Accomplice by Inaction.
  • Wu Chen sees Happy's teamwork in great effect as the others connive him to turn the other cheek regarding their punishment. Wu Chen tries to enforce Ye Xiu's orders but fails.
    Bao Rongxing: You see, we are a team now. You're a part of us now. From now on, we'll have plenty of chances to be punished together.

Episode 39

• The very low-key roast feast between Blue Rain, Tyranny, and Tiny Herb where they use their drink of choice as a metaphor, and poor Pan Lin is clearly uncomfortable and just wants to leave.

Episode 40

• The moment is more cathartic than anything else, but when Tao Xuan starts lashing out at Sun Xiang for Excellent Era's loss, Xiao Shiqin (who isn't even the one being scolded) also pauses in his tracks and turns around with a half-exasperated expression, as if he's saying, "Seriously?"
• While handing over the award certificate, the chairman of the Glory association makes a joke about Ye Xiu signing with the wrong name. Even Ye Xiu laughs at this.
• When Chang Xian defends that players' inability to tolerate alcohol is the trait of a true professional player, Mo Fan immediately drinks down a glass and pretends to pass out.
• Ye Xiu is on the phone with his father and becomes alarmed at the thought of his father visiting at Happy's promotion booth. Wei Chen then grabs Ye Xiu's phone and invites them to join Happy.
