Chapter 65 – Hunting Yagg (5)

"Oh, those people want to help!" The Brawler suddenly said. His voice carried a tone of pleasant surprise.

Ye Xiu sighed. This guy truly didn't understand the situation! These guilds weren't here to help. They were here to kill steal. They hadn't acted before because these guys weren't even worthy of being stolen from. The Blood Gunner would have eliminated them.

"Leave!" Ye Xiu said.

"What?" The Brawler was unable to make heads or tails of his command.

The other four players were actually noobs too. If they weren't noobs, then they would have known about the Blood Gunner's strength. They wouldn't have mobbed around it and killed themselves. But they were better than that noob of a Brawler, so they at least saw that the situation was far from good. Those guys over there didn't move early or late. When they saw that they were fighting the BOSS smoothly, only then did they suddenly move. Help? Providing help in the hour of need was called help. But right now in this situation, only God knew what they were up to.

"If you don't run, then you're looking to die!" Ye Xiu said.

"Then we fought for nothing?" The party's Berserker said. He noticed that there was something wrong with the situation. But if they ran now, then why did they fight so hard before?

"I don't know yet." Ye Xiu said.

The five players were all at a loss.

"But if you don't leave now, then it'll be too late." Ye Xiu said while Lord Grim's attacks continued. The Three Great Guilds rapidly drew near. The long-ranged classes such as the gunners had already began aiming their guns.

"Run!" Finally, one of the five players took the lead and ran. The Three Great Guilds didn't care about these guys. Because the three guilds left some space to guard against each other, they didn't completely surround the BOSS. Seeing that these five were running, they didn't send people to kill them. Instead, they were all observing the other guilds' movements. Those were main opponents. All three guild leaders practically shouted at the same time: "STOP".

The numerous players urgently halted and all watched each other. The Blood Gunner was almost in front of them, but if they rushed up to surround the BOSS, then what would they do if the other guilds behind their backs raided them? All three guild leaders were pondering over this.

This was because the battle on the field still continued.

Those five players had ran halfway when they suddenly realized that Lord Grim wasn't behind them. Looking back, they saw that Lord Grim was still battling with the Blood Gunner.

"What's the meaning of this?" The five players were puzzled. They just weren't familiar with the game. It's not like they didn't have a brain. This player told them to run, but he himself stayed. His behavior was odd, which made them unable to tell whether he was good or bad. As a result, they couldn't help but stop moving.

"Run farther! It's dangerous over here!" Ye Xiu suddenly messaged them through the party channel.

"But they haven't come to kill us!" The noob Brawler said.

"Trust me." Ye Xiu typed out two words this time.

These noobs were too clueless. If they were Blue River level players, they would have all been stunned to death. To be able to take the time to type during an intense battle with the BOSS, how fast was his hand speed?

The noob Brawler couldn't help but begin to run while calling out to his companions: "Hurry and run."

The other four hesitated, but two of them followed the noob Brawler.

The other two still stayed in their original spots. They were a still a bit skeptical over Ye Xiu's words. They felt that he was trying to intentionally get rid of them.

Seeing that the five moved differently, Ye Xiu could only feel regret towards the two skeptical players. He didn't have the time to explain to them. His mouth had been used to lead them in battle the entire time. He also didn't have the time to type. The previous two words he had typed out were already risky and the six words before almost messed up his playing.

"Should the long-ranged classes try attacking?" Blue River consulted his subordinates. They wouldn't advance forward yet. The long-ranged classes would first do some damage.

"We can't guarantee that we won't accidentally hit Lord Grim….." The long-ranged classes all started sweating. The Blood Gunner's speed was his forte. Fighting with it required high tempo and fast movements. At this moment, Lord Grim and the Blood Gunner were flashing around everywhere. Who knew which target their attacks would hit.

"What is this guy thinking!" Blue River said gloomily.

On the other side, Herb Garden's Plantago Seed had already yelled out: "Hero! Add your party to my group! All of the drops will belong to you guys."

"D*mn!" Blue River secretly shouted at Plantago Seed's treachery. If the party joined his group, then the previous damage they did would count towards their group. He himself hadn't thought of doing this!

"Brother Grim, join my side! The items are all yours." Blue River immediately stepped forward. He felt that he was somewhat closer to Lord Grim. With the same conditions, Lord Grim didn't have any reason to not join their group.

"Join my side. The rewards are all yours. I'll also gift you 20 White Wolf Bristles." Tyrannical Ambition's Endless Night also yelled. He thought that Ye Xiu had some sort of special indulgence towards White Wolf Bristles.

"Lord Grim, don't trust him! How many times would you have to run Frost Forest to get 20 White Wolf Bristles?" Blue River immediately yelled.

"We have 20 here!" Plantago Seed yelled.

Bound Boat murmured to himself: "Could it be that this was this guy's true aim?"

Blue River also had a headache. Really, this guy. He completely didn't know how to talk things over with emotion. Did he really have to turn everything into a business deal?

Lord Grim still indifferently attacked the monster. As a result, the three guilds all felt that the price tag wasn't enough and continued raise the price.

The two that hadn't run away were all already stunned. The "all of the items will belong to you guys" alone already made their hearts speed up. They had never heard of the other items that the three guilds promised. But if they dared to bring them out, then they were clearly valuable items.

The two players were anxious! They were just itching to respond on behalf of Lord Grim.

But the two quickly recovered.

Even if he agreed, then it didn't matter! Because currently, the party leader wasn't Lord Grim. Joining a group or receiving a group invite were all the party leader's rights.

The two immediately looked at the party list. The leader was that noob Brawler.

The two immediately typed out in the party channel: "COME BACK!!"

"Why didn't you two run." The noob Brawler replied.

"Run my ass! These few guilds are giving out conditions over here. They're letting us join their group. Afterwards, the equipment will all go to us and they'll also give out a bunch of valuable items. Hurry up and come back party leader!!" The two excitedly spoke incoherently, scrambling to send the message.

"So there's this!" The noob Brawler surprisingly understood. Once he heard equipment, his eyes turned into stars. He immediately ran back. The other two who had seen the message also excitedly moved too.

The only one indifferent was Lord Grim. The Three Great Guild's leaders were all presenting their conditions to let him join their groups. In the end, after seeing the system prompt, they slapped their foreheads and recovered: "F*ck, he's not the party leader!"

No choice, they had to turn to the other five seemingly non-existent players.

"Where'd the party leader go?" The Three Great Guild leaders began concerning themselves with those players that weren't even in their line of sight originally.

At this moment, Lord Grim suddenly spoke: "Everyone be careful."

"What?" Everyone was at a loss.

After Lord Grim used a Circle Swing and threw the Blood Gunner, the Blood Gunner's body suddenly emitted a floating layer of blood-colored light.

"F*CK! It's Enraged?" The three guild leaders were all veterans. They had knowledge and experience.

"Are you joking? What's the life at!!" The hundreds of players that gathered there were all in shock.

Chapter 66 – Undead Legion

When its life dropped to 10%, it would go into a Red Blood state. In this state, the BOSS would turn Enraged. This was a fixed rule in Glory.

Under the watch of all these Glory veterans, how could they ignore a party that had fought the Blood Gunner to 10% health?

But the Blood Gunner wasn't at Red Blood, yet it now entered an Enraged state.

As veterans, they clearly understood what the Blood Gunner's Enraged state meant. If they were the ones fighting, then they would have definitely prepared before it went Enraged. But who would have thought that the Blood Gunner would suddenly turn Enraged at this moment.

"Red Blood isn't the only way for it to turn Enraged." Bound Boat suddenly said.

Blue River's complexion had already changed.

Indeed, on some BOSSes, besides the Red Blood state, there were a few other ways that could lead to the BOSS turning Enraged. Enraged, to put it simply, was the BOSS's way to to save itself when it was in critical danger. For high-end wild BOSSes like the Blood Gunner, Red Blood wasn't the only time when they felt they were in danger. Other conditions could make them feel that they needed to turn Enraged to resolve the crisis.

"200 Combo?" Blue River blurted out.

Noticing it now was already too late. By the time the Blood Gunner began shouting and glowing, it was already too late.

Everyone felt the ground underneath loosen. Earth had already began opening up. The crooked tombstones and the remnant coffins looked as if they had awakened and began shaking.

The Blood Gunner's Enrage summoned his Undead Legion.

The number of creatures summoned was proportional to the number of players in his aggro range. At this moment, it was quite a tragedy. The Three Great Guild leaders were all in the Blood Gunner's aggro range. They had just been trying to invite Lord Grim into their group….

The three of them didn't represent a single person. They were the group's leader, so each of them represented the entirety of their respective guilds on the field.

Normally, when they fought the Blood Gunner normally, before it went into Red Blood, the leader would definitely be the first to leave the Blood Gunner's aggro range. In all of these years, relying on this setup, the Three Great Guilds didn't know how many times they had fought against this monster. They were all too familiar with the Blood Gunner's summoning.

"Ha ha ha ha ha….."

The Blood Gunner's call continued. A large mob of zombies and skeletons had already climbed up out from the earth, tombstones, and coffins.

There were over a hundred!

"Stay in formation! Protect the healers and mages!!" The Three Great Guild's instructions were all practically the same.

The newly summoned Undead Legion didn't have the same aggro as the Blood Gunner. Their aggro was reset and attacked as soon as they saw a player. They would attack whoever was close to them. In an instant, a great battle unfolded in the Boneyard.

The zombies and skeletons summoned by the Blood Gunner weren't more ferocious than the normal Boneyard monsters. But the problem was that their levels were high. They were all the same level as the Blood Gunner, Level 26, the highest level in the Boneyard. They Level Suppressed every single player in the field, making them difficult to deal with.

And adding on to their sudden appearance and random distribution, everyone was caught off guard. In the first moments, there were players that were surrounded and instantly killed.

The three guild leader's expressions were all ugly. They knew that this 200 Combo was something Lord Grim had deliberately done.

This combo counter didn't count how many times the Blood Gunner attacked. It counted how many times it was attacked. But under the concentrated fire from being attacked on all sides, it was very easy for the Combo to go over 200. As a result, this prevented players from bullying it too excessively.

Normally, they would definitely pay attention to the combo! Breaking the combo was much easier than continuing the combo.

But Lord Grim commanded a party to hit out 200 Combos. Moreover, he did it when the Three Great Guilds were all inside the aggro range. He had clearly done it to make the BOSS turn Enraged and restrict the Three Great Guilds.

His purpose was obviously still the Blood Gunner.

But what about the Blood Gunner now?

The Blood Gunner's aggro wouldn't change because it turned Enraged. Its aggro was still on Lord Grim. After turning Enraged, it immediately shot violently and hit Lord Grim into a cloud of white smoke.

The players of the three guilds saw this, but weren't happy. The one that was hit was only Lord Grim's shadow clone.

Where was Lord Grim's real body? After the shadow clone disappeared, another Gunner's Aerial Fire shot out and he flew backwards slipping out a good number of bullets.

The Blood Gunner swiftly chased him. The Three Great Guild's players were being tangled by the Undead Legion and had no time to watch. They could only concentrate on stopping the undead's advance.

The noob Brawler and the others were all stupefied. They had happily ran back, ready to join the group and reap the rewards. But who knew such an event would unexpectedly occur. The three could only helplessly watch as their other two members were instantly ripped apart into chunks of meat by the Undead Legion.

The three immediately halted their footsteps. They finally understood what the danger Lord Grim warned about was.

Soon after, they saw Lord Grim fly out. Behind him followed the astonishingly fast Blood Gunner.

The three didn't know what to do. They didn't know whether Lord Grim was fleeing or doing something else until they saw Lord Grim's command: Go!

"Go where?" The three players asked.

"Come over and kill the BOSS." Ye Xiu said.

At a loss, the three players turned around and ran.

"Over here!" Ye Xiu gave the three players further directions.

The Three Great Guilds all saw this clearly. They had no manpower to spare and could only stamp their feet in rage.

"That guy's bringing away the Blood Gunner!!" Everyone was shouting.

Blue River almost died from anger and sent a message to Lord Grim: "Brother, you're not nice!"

At this moment, Lord Grim was only running. He would occasionally stop to throw down the chasing Blood Gunner. He had time to respond to Blue River.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiu replied.

What do you mean what's wrong!! Blue River saw this message and grew even angrier. Right when he was about to send another message, he suddenly discovered that he had nothing to say.

Right, what's wrong? What did that guy do wrong? That guy planned to steal away the Blood Gunner. But saying that that wasn't nice? There was no such word in Glory! Wild BOSSes had always been there to be stolen. But normally, it had always been stolen by the Three Great Guilds. If someone else apart from the Three Great Guilds stole it, then why should that suddenly be not nice?

Blue River was unable to speak.

Apart from him, Endless Night also sent a message.

"You're very fierce!!"

"Ha ha." Ye Xiu replied.

"But don't be too pleased with yourself yet. With those few people, do you really think you'll be able to beat the Blood Gunner before we kill off all these trash? Do you really think we won't be able to find you?" Endless Night replied.

"Then you guys better hurry up." Ye Xiu laughed and inhaled a breath of smoke.

"Where are we running to?" The noob Brawler next to Lord Grim asked.

Ye Xiu hadn't yet replied when another player shouted: "Uh oh! There are people heading towards us."

"Don't panic. Give the party leader position to me." Ye Xiu said.

The noob Brawler, without thinking, gave the party leader position to Lord Grim.

System message: Player Seven Fields has joined your party.

Player Drifting Water has joined your party.

Player Sunset Clouds has joined your party.

Player Sleeping Moon has joined your party.

Player Immersed Jade has joined your party.

"KILL!" Ye Xiu shouted loudly. The noob Brawler and the others all watched, dumbstruck, as a group of people rushed forward. Some called him "God", some "brother expert", and others didn't say a word. They all headed towards the Blood Gunner to attack.

Chapter 67 – Speed Up

"Brother expert, you're too loyal." Seven Fields and the others rushed up excitedly.

"You guys are pretty brave too." Ye Xiu laughed. He had already told them what the situation was. This was like trying to pull a tooth from a tiger's mouth. He also wasn't sure if the three great guilds would just let this matter go. But in the end, these guys didn't care and hurried over. Even the little girl Immersed Jade came. Though it was possible that the noob girl didn't understand the situation and just came to join in on the action.

"What's there to be afraid of." Sleeping Moon yelled while chopping down quite energetically. He hadn't played yesterday, so his level was a bit lagging behind. But after bitterly training for a day, he reached Level 21.

"These are all the people you've called?" The noob Brawler and the others stood there foolishly on the side.

"Yup!" Ye Xiu said.

"When?" The noob Brawler asked.

"When I went up and joined your party." Ye Xiu said.

"You had already planned it all out at that time?" The three were all appalled. What an incredible mind!

Ye Xiu laughed but didn't say anything else. He began instructing each person on their position and skill timing. He even went as far as telling them when to drink their potions.

Potions had a cooldown. What was the best way to drink potions to keep up your endurance during battle? That itself was a type of knowledge.

Now, it looked as if nine people were fighting the monster together. In reality, those eight other players were all puppets. They completely acted according to Ye Xiu's instructions. They were a bit messy in the beginning. After all, Ye Xiu only had one mouth and couldn't give eight people eight commands at once. But after fighting for a bit, Seven Fields and the others, who weren't considered experts, were still veterans and already had a basic understanding of what to do. The noob Brawler level players also did decently.

Ye Xiu carefully observed each player's damage output. He calculated that they wouldn't be able to kill off the Blood Gunner before the Three Great Guilds finished dealing with the Undead Legion. He quickly came to a conclusion: foolishly fighting here wouldn't work.

As a result, he began adjusting his tactic and distanced himself. The Blood Gunner was like a sheep. It was being cut down on one side and driven away on another. The more it moved, the more the blood flowed down. It was extremely miserable.

At this very moment, Ye Xiu obviously wouldn't do another 200 Combo and ask for more trouble. But there was no way to avoid its Enrage when it reached 10% life. Of course, to Ye Xiu, that wasn't a problem at all.

The Blood Gunner's life quickly plummeted. Ye Xiu estimated the time for both sides. The Three Great Guild should almost be done, but the Blood Gunner's life was still at 20%. Even though they pulled a bit of distance while fighting it, the time was still extremely tight.

Ye Xiu turned his camera angle and looked towards the direction that they had come from. Boneyard didn't have much shelter. Looking into the distance, many players had already begun moving in their direction. Sure enough, the Three Great Guilds had already finished their work.

And on their side, the damage output had already been stretched to the limit by Ye Xiu's leading unless higher leveled equipment was given to them. But clearly, that wasn't possible. Or maybe……

"Brother expert, they've all come over." Seven Fields suddenly said. Evidently, he had also noticed that they didn't have enough time.

"Okay, let's speed things up." Ye Xiu said. Having already reached this stage, there was no there choice but to fight.

"How?" The eight players asked.

"Increase your hand speed. Everyone concentrate." Ye Xiu said.

At this moment, the only method was to increase their hand speed.

Ye Xiu himself obviously wasn't a problem. In order to match everyone, he had deliberately controlled his hand speed to such a slow speed. But now, in this limited time to kill off the Blood Gunner, the entire party's tempo had to quicken. There were quite a few noobs in this party, which made things much more difficult. But at present, there was no other way.

Hand speed wouldn't increase the character's attack speed. The character's attack speed was determined by class and equipment. It was a fixed number. But hand speed could increase their mechanical speed. The faster the mechanical speed, the faster skills could be put out. The character's sidesteps, rolls, attacks, skills, etc. each move would be linked together faster.

At this moment, Ye Xiu wanted the entire party to increase their mechanical hand speed; this was effective hand speed.

Let's say two points were on the screen, A and B. The requirement was for the cursor to move from A to B. Pro-players, using the quickest hand speed the entire time, could move the cursor from A to B and accurately stop on B.

But normal players, in order to accurately stop on point B, they could only lower their hand speed, decreasing their cursor's movement speed. If they forced themselves to increase their speed, then they might miss point B or even go over. In short, they couldn't get the most optimal result.

But at this moment, Ye Xiu was too busy to worry about it.

Fortunately, they didn't need to increase too much. There was no way everyone could suddenly reach a professional level hand speed.

Ye Xiu assessed the situation. Increasing their current tempo by 20% should be enough. According to his observations, in their current tempo, there were a few people who still had energy to spare. For example, it shouldn't be a problem for Seven Fields and Sleeping Moon to increase their tempo by 20%. Sunset Clouds and Drifting Water were in the norms. After suddenly increasing the tempo, whether they could keep it up or not depended on their concentration. As for the four noobs, Ye Xiu had no hopes at all for Immersed Jade. This girl was already having trouble, repeatedly making mistakes. The noob Brawler made Ye Xiu a little surprised. Although he was the stupidest of them all, his hand speed wasn't bad. When he instructed him, he carried them out precisely without any deviations. The other two were better than Immerse Jade, but not as good as the noob Brawler.

Fight!!!!

"I'm speeding up!" Ye Xiu yelled. His hands quickened. With this increase, the others all matched him and increased too. Just as he expected, Seven Fields and Sleeping Moon kept pace easily and it wasn't too much of a problem for Sunset Clouds either. But Drifting Water reacted slower and was slow by half a beat. Immersed Jade was already in an "Oh no" state. But the noob Brawler made Ye Xiu pleasantly surprised. His attacks were as accurate as Seven Field's and Sleeping Moon's. Finally, those other two were in a complete mess. Their attacks became nonexistent.

"Don't panic! Concentrate!" Ye Xiu looked around. Besides Immersed Jade, who was completely hopeless, Drifting Water and the other two still had the possibility of keeping up.

"No good!" Immersed Jade's hands were a mess. Her attacks were all hitting air.

"Immersed Jade play on your own pace. Just use your skills whenever they're off cooldown and that'll be fine." Immersed Jade wasn't good enough. She had also picked the Assassin class, which required a higher operating speed. Slow Assassins, PK's Most Beloved. In Glory, this famous phrase said that Assassins without hand speed were complete tragedies. They could be bullied around easily in PK.

Immersed Jade was one such tragedy. Ye Xiu immediately gave up on her.

The remaining seven players made Ye Xiu feel extremely gratified. Drifting Water's speed also caught up and the other two weren't as messy as they were when they first started. Although they made a few mistakes, Ye Xiu was still able to rescue them. They only increased their hand speed by 20%, but Ye Xiu burst forth with a 200% increase. If Chen Guo was behind Ye Xiu, she would definitely eat back her three words, disabled level hands.

"Fast! Fast! Fast!" Seven Fields yelled while repeatedly reciting this catchphrase. His yelling while increasing his hand speed helped motivate the others too. However, this time, his increases were extremely small, so everyone unconsciously kept pace too. Only Ye Xiu could detect this sort of small chance. But this really was an unexpected surprise and he became even more certain of the outcome.

"It's almost at Red Blood!!" Seven Fields suddenly shouted.

Chapter 68 – Blood Gunner First Kill

Ye Xiu also moved extremely quickly and transferred the party leader position to Seven Fields: "Everyone retreat."

Seven Fields and the other veterans had never killed the Blood Gunner before, but they heard the Blood Gunner story. They knew what happened once the BOSS became Enraged, so they immediately retreated.

Ye Xiu understood this better than Seven Fields. He didn't need any reminders. Under Seven Field's lead, the eight players left the Blood Gunner's aggro range. Ye Xiu's hand speed burst forth. Lord Grim's battle lance executed several skills, blurring their eyes. The Blood Gunner's life instantly dropped to ten percent Red Blood.

"Ha ha ha ha ha….."

The Blood Gunner began summoning and emanating a layer of blood-red light. But the players had prepared for this. There was only one person in its aggro range and he wasn't the party leader.

The BOSS's actions were completely grasped, so it was inevitably bullied around ruthlessly by these players. Ye Xiu now had to control the Blood Gunner and make sure that it didn't run into the rest of the party while it was in this state.

To Ye Xiu, this sort of task was as easy as eating food.

After the Blood Gunner's summoning ended, a single skeleton appeared next to it, looking weak and lonely.

Seven Fields and the others didn't move. They had also seen the Blood Gunner guide. Although they had all participated in killing this sort of wild BOSS with their guild, they had never experienced this sort of summoning. After the Blood Gunner finished summoning, could they enter battle and fight? They weren't sure.

"Kill!!"

Until they heard Lord Grim's commands.

The eight madly ran back to kill. The lone guard summoned by the Blood Gunner was instantly shattered into pieces. Who made it come here so lonely.

The besieging continued.

"Doesn't the Blood Gunner summon again?" Seven Fields asked.

"Yup. At five percent life, it'll summon once more. And before its death, it'll fire randomly." Ye Xiu said.

"What a shameless BOSS! Level 26 and it'll fire randomly." Seven Fields said.

"Just concentrate on dodging and you'll be fine. The final random firing has a high chance to crit. If a few hit, you'll definitely die." Ye Xiu said.

"How do we dodge the random firing." Sleeping Moon raised a question.

"For you.….. run a bit further away." Ye Xiu replied.

"F*CK!"

Clearly, this situation was looking good. Highly skilled players could see that they could dispatch the Blood Gunner promptly. As a result, they all talked relaxedly. When the life hit five percent, the eight players once again left the aggro range. The Blood Gunner summoned a lone zombie, which was instantly smashed into mincemeat by them.

The Three Great Guild's players, with their fangs bared and claws brandished, creeped closer and closer. Ye Xiu received another message from Endless Night, who was still proudly saying: "Ha ha ha. Still fighting? You must have worked hard! It'd be better if you joined our guild's group right now."

Ye Xiu ignored him. At such a critical time, he had to concentrate on killing off the BOSS. This fact was everything.

The Three Great Guild's players approached. But the Blood Gunner's life still wasn't low enough. Seven Fields and the others were a little worried. It looks like they're out of time? After all, they weren't as confident in their decision-making as Ye Xiu was.

"Cheng cheng cheng cheng……"

It seemed as if they could already heard the sounds of the Three Great Guild's gunners taking out their bullets and loading them.

"Scatter!!" Ye Xiu suddenly shouted.

Seven Fields and the others ran from the scene without looking back.

Seeing this scene, the Three Great Guild's players subconsciously halted their footsteps.

"F*CK, AGAIN!?" Some shouted.

"How could he be so timely!" Some didn't believe it.

"Troops, with me!!" Blue River said without fooling around. He transferred his group leader position to another party leader and brought the ten most elite players forward.

Tyrannical Ambition and Herb Garden also made the same decision. They all formed a ten player party. This way, even if the Blood Gunner turned Enraged again, it could only summon 30 monsters. They left some back-up that could eliminate the Undead Legion while killing the Blood Gunner.

The three teams all rushed forward madly. They were competing against each other to see who advanced the fastest. In this instant, they once again regarded the other players fighting the Blood Gunner as non-existent. This was a type of habit.

"Each group take out three players to kill off those guys." Blue River yelled.

They could no longer let that party exist. Even if they didn't kill them,they had to at least force them away, so the Blood Gunner could go into an off-combat state. Only then would the damage onto the BOSS be cleared.

As for Lord Grim, Blue River felt quite regretful. If they didn't cooperate, then this situation wasn't going to be easy to deal with. Blue River felt somewhat hesitant.

Tyrannical Ambition's guild leader had already agreed and sent out three players from their party.

Blue River looked at Herb Garden's side. The players were sent out, but he didn't see Plantago Seed.

"Where's Plantago Seed?" Blue River asked.

An Herb Garden player said extremely embarrassed: "Dead."

"Dead?" Blue River was surprised. He followed with a loud laugh and laughed until his stomach hurt.

When the Undead Legion was instantly summoned, the situation had turned into chaos. Anyone dying wasn't anything strange. But Plantago Seed's skill wasn't low. His equipment was unlikely to be bad and he at least should have been able to survive longer than most. But in the end, he still died. He could just imagine how helpless and lonely he was in that situation.

Blue River's loud laugh made Herb Garden's players all extremely depressed, but what made them even more depressed came later.

"What are you laughing at?" Tyrannical Ambition's Cold Night asked.

"Plantago Seed died." Blue River said.

"Really? Congratulations!" Cold Night didn't bat an eyelid.

"Same to you! Same to you!" Blue River said.

Herb Garden's players all coughed blood.

At this moment, the players that were closing in on the Blood Gunner heard Ye Xiu yell: "Be careful everyone!!"

Having heard the news of Plantago Seed's death, Blue River's mood was quite good and he laughed delightedly: "Don't worry, brother. We can handle it."

"Then that's good." Ye Xiu laughed.

"NOT GOOD!!!!" Thousand Creations suddenly yelled. This guy, who liked to kill steal, had a natural feeling for a monster's life. At this moment, even though he hadn't yet completely closed in on it, he had an ominous premonition.

"What's wrong?" Blue River asked.

"Ya ya ya ya ya!!!!!" The Blood Gunner once again began yelling and emanating a blood-red glow.

In addition, this time, it held a pose.

Horse stance. Its two hands crossed over its chest. His left hand supported the gun in his right hand.

"F*ck me, random firing!!!!" The experts all collapsed.

Random firing was unleashed.

The Blood Gunner never stopped shouting. The gun in its right hand changed into a blur of destruction. Countless bullets flew out in all directions at practically the same time. Although, in theory, the gun in its hands were a revolver, its chain firing was even faster than a machine gun. It also didn't need to load. This was a skill!

The players of the Three Great Guild that rushed up all covered their heads and fled like rats. Three players died on the spot. They were too close. With such a high firing speed, they had no time to dodge. Squatting, lying down, twisting into an S shape, regardless of their form, everyone was just trying to survive.

But the person who bore the brunt of the impact was Lord Grim. However, when everyone looked, all they saw was a cloud of light smoke.

It was the Shadow Clone Technique again.

But this time, the real body didn't appear in any spot within 360 degrees around the BOSS. He appeared overhead in the sky.

Lord Grim dropped down and used the Fighter skill Eagle Stamp, stepping on the Blood Gunner's head.

One foot, two foot.

The battle lance soared out. A mid-air Circle Swing!

Although the Blood Gunner was in a Super Armor state when he randomly fired, Circle Swing was a skill that ignored Super Armor.

The battle lance swung the Blood Gunner around, drawing a 270 degree arc.

Lord Grim fell to the ground. His two hands smashed the ground with his battle lance and the Blood Gunner was pressed under the lance.

The random firing stopped. The three guild's players felt as if they had taken back their life. Meanwhile, Lord Grim had already used a Sky Strike, Dragon Tooth, and a Falling Flower Palm.

The Blood Gunner finally yelled out its final desperate cry.

System Announcement: Seven Fields, Lord Grim, Steamed Bun Invasion, Grazing Fire, Bright Mushroom, Sleeping Moon, Drifting Water, Immersed Jade have completed the Blood Gunner's first kill!

The faces of the Three Great Guild's players all turned deathly pale. Ye Xiu quickly sent a message to the party: "Give me the Blood Rifle. You guys can have the rest!"

Chapter 69 – Keep Chasing And I Won't Be So Nice Anymore

"WAH!!!" Ye Xiu still didn't know whether he had gotten his Blood Rifle yet, when he heard a sudden explosion of gasps erupt from around him. Even Chen Guo, who was concentrating on playing Whack-a-Mole, was startled by these gasps.

Many guests in the Happy Internet Cafe all stood up and all headed towards a certain direction. There were even quite a few who threw down their games and ran over.

"What happened? What happened?" Chen Guo jumped out from the reception desk and headed towards that direction while asking.

"Lord Grim completed another first kill." A guest said excitedly.

"Why are you so excited for him!" Chen Guo was speechless and asked: "What did he first kill?"

"Blood Gunner!!" The other side said.

Wild BOSS! Chen Guo was astonished. This thing was even harder to first kill than dungeons. She had once seen the process of hunting a wild BOSS. Each big guild fought until smoke filled the air. While they attacked the BOSS, they also plotted against each other. The people watching couldn't tell if it was a BOSS hunt or a guild war. In this sort of major event, ordinary guilds had no qualifications to participate. Going up was a death sentence. Players without guilds even more so.

Although the Blood Gunner was a low-leveled BOSS, this was a representation of the guild's grade and had nothing to do with low-leveled or high-leveled.

Chen Guo followed after a crowd of people rushing toward Ye Xiu's computer. But when they arrived, everyone heard Ye Xiu yell out: "Run run run! Hurry and run!!"

Hushing sounds. With the way he was yelling, it seemed like there was something wrong! It looked like there were quite some problems grabbing the first kill.

In the end, a few tenth server players found a bit of information on the situation and gathered it together to gossip with everyone: "I heard he stole it right from under the Three Great Guild's noses."

"D*mn, so amazing?" Everyone was amazed and suddenly felt that his shout "Run run run" was nothing. It didn't affect how they perceived him as the embodiment of bravery and wisdom.

Everyone stared at Ye Xiu's screen and saw his character running for his life. From time to time, Lord Grim would turn his head and look back. As a result, everyone saw a large army of chasing soldiers; these were the Three Great Guild's players.

"Stealing the BOSS really isn't easy!!" Everyone bitterly said.

"Do we have anyone here from the tenth server's Three Great Guilds?" Someone suddenly asked around in interest.

No one said anything.

"They'd probably be furious!" Some made fun of them.

"Lady Boss, go look and see if anyone's fainted in front of his computer. Call 911!" Seeing Chen Guo, they joked around.

Chen Guo didn't utter a word. Many others didn't utter a word either. These people all stared at the screen not saying a word. They wanted to know whether Ye Xiu could escape from the danger or not. It wasn't so easy to get away from the Three Great Guilds. He was only Level 20 yet he had already offended all Three Great Guilds in one move. Some people didn't think of him as brave or wise. They thought of him as a complete idiot……

What would happen to the idiot? That's what they wanted to know.

Chen Guo? She was perhaps the only one who was simply there for the excitement. Seeing Ye Xiu madly hitting his keyboard to run away. She felt a little worried for him.

"You guys run first. I'll hold them off!" Suddenly, everyone saw Ye Xiu swiftly type this out in the party channel.

"Wah, a true man!!" Everyone praised him. Through Ye Xiu's screen, they could all see Ye Xiu's teammates. The eight of them were all faster than him by a wide margin. They had no idea how this situation was brought about.

Lord Grim turned around and four players just happened to reach his back. His battle lance sweeped across. The four players clear didn't anticipate that Lord Grim would suddenly stop to attack. None of them could avoid this.

Lord Grim immediately followed up with a short leap. He pulled out a sword in mid-air and slashed downwards. Falling Light Blade's shock wave hit the four players.

"He moves so quickly!!" A few spectators cried out in alarm. Falling Light Blade could only be used in the air. Lord Grim didn't jump high, so when this skill was used, it didn't look like the blade "fell".

Of the four players, three fell to the ground. The other player successfully used a Quick Recover and rolled forward. While he got up, he executed a Sky Strike.

Thousand Creations!

This guy deserved to be called an expert-level character. Although Quick Recover was considered a basic skill, it wasn't easy to fully grasp. In that instant, it's not that the three other players didn't think of using Quick Recover, it was just that Lord Grim's Falling Light Blade was too quick, or they missed the timing, so they evidently lost.

Only Thousand Creations was left. Not only did he successfully quick recover, he also counter attacked.

But before the Sky Strike was completed, Lord Grim kicked him to the ground.

Interrupt Attack!

Interrupt was a type of priority attack. Chain hits, aerial attacks, back attacks, these were all priority attacks too.

Interrupt, as the name implies, interrupted the opponent's attack.

When Thousand Creations tried to use Sky Strike, Lord Grim used Punisher to interrupt it, forming an Interrupt Attack.

"Ha ha ha ha……" When the gun fire shot out, the spectators behind Ye Xiu all laughed at Thousand Creations.

But those with skill didn't laugh.

To be able to Quick Recover from that sort of Falling Light Blade. This Thousand Creations was very skilled. The Sky Strike after the forward roll was already the fastest counterattack possible. But he was still interrupted. This Lord Grim's skill was even higher.

If they were in his place, what would happen? Many players who thought of this, weren't able to laugh.

The four players, who were defeated in the blink of an eye, were all Battle Mages. This could be seen from their Neutral Chasers' increased movement speed that allowed them to be in front of everyone else. If not, then as new characters in the new server, they didn't yet have equipment with these added properties, so their movement speed would have all been the same.

Although the four players were on the ground, Lord Grim didn't have the chance to kill them. Everyone could clearly see that at this moment, Lord Grim was completely out of mana.

"If you keep chasing, then I won't be so nice anymore!" Lord Grim suddenly crouched. It looked as if he were saying this into Thousand Creation's ear. Everyone heard Ye Xiu say this.

The spectators sniggered. This was a bluff! He had no mana and was trying to scare them.

Lord Grim got up and continued running. The spectators were all anxious. They all wanted to know whether those four players were chasing him again, but Lord Grim wouldn't turn his head! Everyone knew that Ye Xiu wore headphones and could hear the footsteps behind him. Seeing him so calm, they supposed that the pursuers really had been scared stiff.

How could they not have been scared stiff? Lord Grim was so strong. These pursuers understood this better than any of the Internet Cafe spectators. Three players had been easily knocked down. The highly-skilled Thousand Creations, who tried to counterattack, was also knocked to the ground. Continuing to chase him was the same as running to their deaths. They could only wait for the others to catch up.

"Did you catch up?" Blue River messaged them.

Thousand Creations gloomily replied: "We caught up, but we couldn't beat him."

"Then…… retreat back!" Blue River messaged.

Thousand Creations watched as Lord Grim ran farther and farther away. He didn't move. The other three of the same class also reacted in roughly the same way.

Chapter 70: Copy Upgrade

Translator:Nomyummi

Editor:GravityTales

In the end, the Three Great Guilds stopped chasing him. After heaving a sigh of relief, Ye Xiu took off his headphones and turned around. He had already felt the liveliness from the crowd of people behind him long ago.

"Brother, you're awesome!!" Everyone praised.

Ye Xiu laughed: "Lucky, lucky."

"What did it drop?" Someone asked curiously.

"I got a Blood Rifle." Ye Xiu said. When Ye Xiu saw that this item dropped, he immediately clicked on it. Seven Fields and the others saw this and took note of it. They obviously wouldn't compete for it with brother expert. But the question was, what about those three noobs?

In Glory, equipment didn't have any bindings. Even if you couldn't use an equipment, you could still take it and sell it. As a result, in random parties, dungeons were always a mess. If you had demands for equipment, random parties weren't a good choice. If you had demands, then it'd be better to look for a guild or friends. Forming a party this way would give you priority for your class's equipment. Random parties were for gaining experience and making money.

As a result, after hearing Ye Xiu's demands, although Seven Fields and them didn't roll for it, they didn't renounce it. They had to see what those three strangers were going to do. If any of those three rolled for it. Then they would also roll for it and help brother expert get the item. They had more people, so they had a higher chance of winning it.

But in reality, they were too suspicious. Those three players swiftly renounced the Blood Rifle. After Seven Fields and the others renounced it too, the Blood Rifle fell into Lord Grim's inventory.

They didn't have time to carefully examine the other items. Brother expert kept urging them to "Run run run". Everyone just randomly rolled. They didn't even know who got what.

They were still extremely happy with getting equipment that dropped from a wild BOSS that only respawned three times every week. Just then, it had dropped four pieces of Blue equipment, all Level 25. Actually, their luck wasn't that good. If it was, they would have had a chance to obtain a Purple equipment from the wild BOSS.

In comparison, the first kill made them feel more wonderful. Seeing how those players of the Three Great Guilds were going insane from rage, how could they be in that state because they stole away four Blue equipment? Seven Fields and the others constantly admired their names on the leaderboards. They were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

And Ye Xiu, he also had many people standing around him and watching. But at this moment, he said a few words to free himself from the crowd. Everyone else wasn't very familiar with him. After casually chatting for a bit, they saw that there wasn't anything else really interesting, so they dispersed. Only Chen Guo still stood there.

"Boss……." Ye Xiu greeted her. Looking at the time, he immediately logged out of the computer: "I'll be going to the reception desk." It was almost 11, it time for him to take over for the night shift.

Seeing Ye Xiu like this, Chen Guo felt too ashamed to say that she wasn't here to call him for the shift, but rather to see what all the noise was.

11 o'clock. The Internet Cafe emptied out all of a sudden. Quite a few people, who had just been spectating Ye Xiu, quickly left. Although the enthusiasm for Glory's new server was still there, many guests had studying or work to do, so there would never be too many idlers that played games all night.

Due to the employees handing over their shifts and leaving, Chen Guo felt that the Internet Cafe became even emptier. Only Ye Xiu sat at the reception desk, sitting there all alone. Chen Guo went over to look and this guy had already entered the game again. He truly was exceptionally disdainful. Besides sleeping and eating, this guy only knew how to play games all day long.

While Chen Guo derided him, she headed to a different part of the Internet Cafe. She took a look and Tang Rou was still in front of the computer, concentrated on playing the game. The screen suddenly flashed in front of her face, but Tang Rou didn't even blink.

Chen Guo went up and saw Tang Rou was still focused on her task at hand. This girl was fairly unfortunate. She happened to play at the peak period of player activity. Completing quests was exhausting. Now that there were fewer players online, the situation improved a bit, making completing quests more fun.

Chen Guo patted her. Tang Rou turned her head and faced Chen Guo, asking in a loud voice: "What are you doing?"

Chen Guo pulled off her headphones: "It's 11 o'clock."

"What? It's 11 already? I didn't know at all!" Tang Rou was astonished.

"What level?" Chen Guo asked.

"Level 6." Because she was playing during the peak time, Tang Rou really did level slowly.

"You're still not going to sleep?" Chen Guo said.

"You go first! I'll wait a bit." Tang Rou put on her headphones again and returned to the game world.

"Then I'll be going first. Sleep early." Chen Guo said, but Tang Rou didn't respond. Clearly, after putting on her headphones, she could no longer hear Chen Guo's words. Chen Guo left while feeling at a loss. She had originally been the Internet Cafe's craziest fan for Glory. Once Ye Xiu came and Tang Rou was brought along, seeing how these two were playing with insane energy, was she no longer as enthusiastic for it? While Chen Guo though about this, she first returned to the second floor to rest.

There really weren't any people just idling about. Everyone sat at their station and focused on playing.

After Ye Xiu re-entered the game, Seven Fields and the others immediately asked questions. Seeing that brother expert suddenly went offline, they all thought something bad happened to him.

"It's nothing. I'm quite good. But you guys also need to be careful." Ye Xiu replied to everyone.

"Don't worry about it!" Seven Fields and the others disdained as if it were beneath their contempt. Their strength of character was closely related to Ye Xiu. Before, they had regarded the Three Great Guilds as gods and worshiped them. But after mixing in with Ye Xiu a few times, they found out that their initial scope was too narrow. Compared to brother expert, how could they be considered gods? Now, they had also successfully followed brother expert in stealing the BOSS from the Three Great Guilds. These guys even felt dignified enough to put these Three Great Guilds under their feet. The delight in their hearts far surpassed their worries.

As for Immersed Jade, Steamed Bun Invasion, those other guys, these noobs had no idea what their gains and losses were. Though when they split the equipment just a moment ago, they felt extremely happy.

"I'm going back to town." Ye Xiu informed everyone.

"Oh oh. See you later brother expert." Everyone replied hurriedly.

"Everyone be careful." Ye Xiu once again reminded them. Lord Grim ran back to Bulls. The small town was a safe zone. He couldn't receive any attacks there, so he felt at ease putting Lord Grim aside and opened the equipment editor. He put in the Blood Rifle that he just obtained into the editor.

In these two days, he had easily gathered quite a few materials. The Myriad Manifestation Umbrella had several parts that could be upgraded. After opening the blueprint, from the opened umbrella form, Ye Xiu began carefully dismantling the umbrella canopy. The umbrella canopy had a total of eight parts. The umbrella ribs linked them together to form a whole canopy.

He randomly chose a canopy part and put it into the copy template. On another side, he opened up the material library and clicked on five Strong Spider Silk.

The copying started. After the progress bar finished, the five Strong Spider Silk transformed into the umbrella canopy's appearance. Soon after, he copied it another seven times. Eight Strong Spider Silk were weaved into umbrella canopy parts.

The new canopy was put together. The gun and hidden sword parts were next.

The umbrella pole was dismantled. It was divided into two parts: the pole and the hidden sword in the pole. Both parts were put into the copy template.

In copying the pole, he added in the Blood Rifle and the Skeleton Warrior's Saber Sheath.

The hidden sword used the Skeleton Warrior's Saber.

He clicked copy. After it finished, he carefully reassembled the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.

Ye Xiu worked extremely meticulously the entire time. But it didn't look too difficult. Apart from the dismantling and reassembling of the umbrella, all he did was click around and press copy.

But if he didn't have the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella's original template, then how could there be a copy function?

Chapter 71 – Weapons and Skills

Ye Xiu looked at the the equipment editor's material library. Inside were a few uncommon materials that he had recently gathered. He couldn't use them yet. Ye Xiu closed the material library and confirmed the Thousand Chance Umbrella's modifications. After the modify bar completed, he withdrew from the editor.

Returning to the game, he opened up the Thousand Chance Umbrella to see the changes. The Thousand Chance Umbrella's original form was still Level 5. But after this modification, the Thousand Umbrella's Sword Form and Gun Form all rose to Level 15. The weight didn't change and the attack speed stayed the same. But the Physical Attack and Magic Attack was very different from the Level 15's Lance form.

Thousand Chance Umbrella (Sword Form), Physical Attack: 240; Magic Attack: 265.

Thousand Chance Umbrella (Gun Form), Physical Attack: 238; Magic Attack: 210.

Lance, Sword, Gun, these different class weapons naturally had a difference in attributes. Even if they were of the same class, the weapon would still emphasize different attributes.

For example, within the Sword class, Greatswords had the highest Physical Attack, but usually had an Attack Speed of 1, the slowest; Short Swords had the highest Magic Attack and usually had an Attack Speed of 5; Lightsabers had the highest Attack Speed, usually with a speed of 9. The other two kinds were the Broadsword and the Tachi. The Broadsword had high Physical Attack, not as high as a Greatsword, but had an Attack Speed of 3, slightly faster. Tachis had high Magic Attack, not as high as a Short Sword, but had an Attack Speed of 7, slightly faster.

In this way, Swordsman Classes had to choose weapons based on their different habits and requirements. For example, Spellblades and Ghostblades were two classes that relied mainly on Magic Attack, so very few chose to use Greatswords as weapons. Berserkers and Blade Masters mainly relied on Physical Attack, so if the Short Sword didn't have any special effects, then they wouldn't consider using it.

Lightsabers were a special existence. Only Blade Masters could use this weapon. The game explained that only Blade Masters, who pursued the limits of the sword, could grasp these lightning-quick Lightsabers. Because their Attack Speed was high, Lightsaber attributes were similar to Tachi's, but a bit lower in Physical and Magic Attack.

At this moment, the Thousand Chance Umbrella's attributes were similar to a Tachi's, but its Attack Speed was 5, the same level as a Short Sword. Compared to same-leveled Tachis, its stats were lower by a grade. But looking at the Thousand Chance Umbrella's Lance Form, with 290 Physical Attack, this was the Lance with the highest Physical Attack among Mage class weapons. It was equivalent to the Greatsword among the Sword class weapons. The Lance and the Greatsword originally had the same Attack Speed of 1, but now the Attack Speed was 5. The Thousand Chance Umbrella's Lance Form was definitely a grade higher than same-leveled Lances.

Ye Xiu examined each form again. After discovering that the editor had changed the forms, he opened up Lord Grim's skill list.

At Level 20, skill points would reset once. Although Lord Grim was an unspecialized character, he also enjoyed this same benefit. However, at Level 50, other classes would have another skill point reset during their Class Awakening. Unspecialized characters didn't. As a result, starting from now, skill points had to be used cautiously. But with Ye Xiu's ten years of Glory experience and being the person who was once called a textbook, Ye Xiu was already extremely familiar with all of the skills. Right now, he only had to verify Lord Grim's plan on skill matching.

With regards to unspecialized players, all of the skills they could learn was already in front of them. Glory had six basic classes, which each class having four specialized classes for a total of 24 classes. On average, each class had 5 or so skills under Level 20, for a total of 120 skills. These were the skills that unspecialized characters could learn. There was an impressive amount of skills they could learn, but because they were all low-leveled skills, their formidability naturally couldn't compare to mid to high-leveled skills.

And among these 120 low-leveled skills, he still had to choose cautiously, because skill points were truly limited.

Although low-leveled skills didn't need a lot of skill points, all under 30 points, due to the inherent problem of low-leveled skills, if he wanted to match them up, then he needed to plan it out well. If not, even if he had the max 5000 skill points, it wasn't possible to max out all 120 skills. Ye Xiu currently hadn't confirmed the final plan. But he would first learn the skills that he considered must-learns. As he leveled up, he was already prepared to go through a period of time to test things out in real combat.

He checked the skill list once more to see if he missed anything. Suddenly, Ye Xiu smelled a whiff of tea and stared blankly. He lifted his head up and looked. It was Tang Rou holding a tea cup, standing outside the reception desk.

Ye Xiu was distracted for a second. His habit of all-nighters stemmed from long ago. In the past, Su Mucheng always brought him green tea when he stayed all night. That girl insisted that people who pulled all nighters needed to drink green tea.

And today……

Today, he saw Tang Rou drink a sip from her teacup.

Ye Xiu started sweating. He clearly felt a bit nostalgic. He even thought Tang Rou was Su Mucheng bringing him tea.

"What are you doing?" Tang Rou asked.

"Looking at skills." Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, I can also learn skills." Tang Rou said.

"Sky Strike and Dragon Tooth?"

"Right."

"These are two very useful skills. However, leveling skills depends on your habits. First, get familiar with these two skills!" Ye Xiu said.

"Okay." Tang Rou carried her tea cup and left. The smell of tea lingered in the air, keeping Ye Xiu distracted. After silently lighting a cigarette, he continued to ponder over the skills.

At this moment, Blue River looked at his friends list and clicked on the online Lord Grim. He felt an unprecedented confusion in his heart.

The Blood Gunner battle was really too unexpected.

Blue River's invitation to Lord Grim was so that they could be around together more and establish a friendship. He didn't even think that Lord Grim would show respect and help him. Kill stealing the BOSS was a guild-scale activity. How much of a difference could one man's strength make?

In the end, Lord Grim's performance made everyone present shocked. He led a few players , who they reckoned he didn't know, and killed off the Blood Gunner. He had beaten the Three Great Guilds black and blue. Herb Garden's guild leader Plantago Seed even died in the line of duty.

Blue River didn't know how the other two guild leaders felt about Lord Grim. In any case, it made him admire this person even more. He already recognized that this person's skill was above his. At least, in that situation, Blue River definitely didn't have the ability to bring the Blood Gunner away, even if he was like Lord Grim and fully used the conflict between the Three Great Guilds. Particularly, while they fought against the Undead Legion, his party of players almost killed off the Blood Gunner. This sort of damage output was even higher than their guild's elite party. Eighty percent of all this had to be credited to Lord Grim's leading.

But admiration was admiration. In reality, Blue River also didn't feel too good in his heart.

He didn't suffer many losses, but he lost a lot of face.

It had to be known that he was the one who brought this player over. This player, in the end, made him feel as if he made a wasted and futile effort. Blue River felt that what Lord Grim wasn't proper and didn't give him any face.

Blue River decided that he needed to speak properly with Lord Grim. He opened Lord Grim's chat window and sent a message: "Brother, what you did today wasn't very nice, no?"

Chapter 72 – Taking Advantage of Everyone

Lord Grim replied quickly: "Yeah, a little."

F*CK!!!!

He actually confessed to it! Blue River was in total confusion. How am I supposed to reply? I should continue criticizing him or it'd seem like I wasn't a man; I should just let it go, but it's hard to make that stifling feeling go away! Blue River felt a sort of feeling, as if he had been instantly killed.

Fortunately, they were chatting through messages. There was a way for him to express his speechless frame of mind. Blue River quickly returned a bunch of ellipses as well as a sweating emoticon.

"Try harder next time!" Ye Xiu replied.

Blue River coughed blood. This guy didn't even take this matter to heart! What he said was true though. Wild BOSSes were just like looting from wasp nests. If you were stolen from and refused to accept it, then just steal it back. Criticizing others' mistakes was something only noobs would do.

Wait a second. He wasn't mad about him stealing away the Blood Gunner! He was mad because this person didn't give him any face. The problem was that he himself was the one to invite Lord Grim to come. But instead, Lord Grim was the one to kill the Blood Gunner. He himself didn't get anything out of it. Seeing everyone's discussion in the guild channel, this was the main reason for everyone's unhappiness with Lord Grim. As for the BOSS being stolen, that was everyone for themselves. For example, if Herb Garden or Tyrannical Ambition had killed it, then although they'd be unhappy, it was a different type of unhappiness, not something to be at a loss about.

Perhaps the reason he was at a loss now was precisely because Lord Grim was different from those two guilds. If those two guilds had stolen it, Blue River could hold back his feelings and take revenge later. But what should he do with Lord Grim? Blue River tore at his hair. As it turns out, this was the reason why he was so at a loss.

"How do you see this situation, Bound Boat?" Blue River didn't message Lord Grim again and privately messaged Bound Boat.

"It looks like it won't be possible to rope Lord Grim in." Bound Boat said.

"Oh?"

"From this Blood Gunner incident, I think I can see his position." Bound Boat said.

"What do you mean?"

"The Three Great Guilds are all here and all want to rope him in. But he won't help any of them. He brought a random group of players not from the Three Great Guilds and like this, smoothly killed the Blood Gunner." Bound Boat said.

"So you're saying that his skill is so great that he doesn't need to join a guild?" Blue River said.

"I think a more accurate way to say this is: the guilds need him, but he doesn't need a guild." Bound Boat said.

Blue River stared blankly.

"Frankly speaking, he only wants to be hired and do every guild's work." Bound Boat said.

"With his skill……"

"Considering his skill, from the way he's doing things, we can see that his appetite is large, his requirements are huge." Bound Boat said.

"Pro-player? Is he thinking of relying on this to make money?" Blue River said.

"It's possible." Bound Boat said.

"But if he continues like this, there will be a time when he'll be at his limits. First kills, setting new dungeon records, there's a limit to all these things. If no one invites him, then what's he going to do?" Blue River said.

"It's a new server……" Bound Boat said.

Blue River started sweating. He forgot about this.

"Speaking of this, if we look at previous servers, I've never even heard of a person like this." Blue River said.

"If there was a person like this, I'm afraid that he would have already been noticed." Bound Boat said.

"Then what is this guy's background?" Bound Boat racked his brain.

"I dont know. We can't see how deep his strength goes. We can't see his reason. Up until now, he also hasn't changed classes yet……." Bound Boat said.

"Then what type of attitude should we have for him?" Blue River said.

"Stay in contact and continue watching him." Bound Boat said.

"May we should continue roping him in? Those were all just inferences we made, right?" Blue River said.

"Okay." Bound Boat agreed and added: "Even if we can't rope him in, if we can establish a stronger relationship with him, then at least we'll have some sort of place in his mind."

"It seems like everything's reversed and we're the ones currying favor with him." Blue River sighed.

Bound Boat remained silent. No matter how skilled an expert was, guilds would rope the expert in to use for themselves. But what about Lord Grim? Why did it seem like everyone was revolving around him? Why did he seem to give off a feeling that he was the one waiting for them to give him candy? There was something wrong with this thinking!

Blue River's thoughts had cleared. After breathing in deeply two times, he contacted Lord Grim again.

"Brother, are you going to dungeon at 12?" Blue River asked. At 12 o'clock, everyone's dungeon entry limit was reset and they could all begin bustling again.

"Maybe later!" Ye Xiu said.

"Together!" Blue River invited.

"No need!" Ye Xiu started sweating. This person was very persistent. He still wanted to rope him in after having the BOSS stolen from him? Indeed, Ye Xiu stole the BOSS to indicate his attitude towards them: he didn't want to be tossed around by the Three Great Guilds. That way, no one would needlessly express their goodwill to him. If they did, then even if he insisted on refusing them, after some time, he would still feel that he owed them favors.

"Brother, don't be so polite." Blue River said.

"I've already asked others……." Facing Blue River, who was acting just as he had been in the past, Ye Xiu had no choice but to make up an excuse.

"Who?" Blue River immediately went on guard. Could another guild have beaten him to it?

"Friends……" Ye Xiu said.

Blue River wanted to ask "What friends?", but he felt that that was a little excessive, so he could only say helplessly: "Then next time when there's a chance!"

"Next time, next time." Ye Xiu said half-heartedly.

Blue River angrily received the message. Just when he received it, he suddenly thought of something: "Brother, help us first kill the Goblin Merchant."

Goblin Merchant was the Frost Forest's wild BOSS, but it hadn't appeared yet.

"This time, I really did make a deal already." Ye Xiu said.

As it turned out, what he had said before really was a lie. This guy really didn't hide anything when he spoke. Blue River asked him while coughing blood: "Who?"

"Tyrannical Ambition."

"F*CK!!!!" Blue River slammed the keyboard. Confused confused f*ck my confusion! Now someone beat him to it! Blue River regretted his own hesitation. Seeing the chat box, he didn't know how to reply. Sure enough, Lord Grim was the same as how Bound Boat and Blue River had analyzed him. He wanted to eat up all the guilds! But Tyrannical Ambition's players really were magnanimous. While he was confused, they had already let the matter go and made a deal with Lord Grim.

Sigh! Blue River let out a sigh. In the end, he maintained his elegance and replied: "Then when that time comes, we're going to be enemies."

"Yup. There's no need to show any mercy." Ye Xiu said.

"Brother, for future wild BOSSes and all of the dungeon records, can I reserve them all?" Blue River said.

"Let's talk about that when the time comes…… At my level, I can't keep up with your pace!" Ye Xiu said.

"Brother, hurry up and level!" Blue River saw that this really was a problem. He was Level 24 right now. Tonight, he would definitely be Level 25 after a few dungeon runs. But this Lord Grim was still Level 21. The greater the level difference, the harder it was to make up for the gap. When they were all challenging Level 30 dungeons, this person would still be puffing and blowing at the Level 20 dungeons. At that time, if his records were broken, then even if Blue River wanted to turn back, he couldn't! His level would be too high….

Chapter 73 – Sand Toss

Truthfully, the Three Great Guilds' reaction made Ye Xiu surprised. They appeared magnanimous and mature and deserved to be called towering Great Guilds. Tyrannical Ambition reacted the fastest. It wasn't very long after the Blood Gunner incident when that Endless Night sent a message. He didn't mention the incident at all and directly invited him to kill the Goblin Merchant. The pay was easy to handle, but the most important part was the guarantee that Tyrannical Ambition would grab the Goblin Merchant's first kill.

Ye Xiu didn't object. He also had requirements from the Goblin Merchant. He had originally planned on buying the materials from the market, but now that an opportunity appeared, he obviously wouldn't let it go. Upgrading the Thousand Chance Umbrella truly required a wide variety of materials. He was already Level 21, but he still hadn't upgraded the every form of the Thousand Chance Umbrella to Level 15. Fortunately, this was a Silver weapon, or else it would have become outdated already.

Tyrannical Ambition responded quickly, while Blue Brook Guild was slightly slower. From Blue River's words, Ye Xiu could see his confusion. Ye Xiu completely understood him. Unfortunately, because of his state of mind at this time, Blue River lost a significant opportunity.

As for Herb Garden, Ye Xiu didn't receive any messages. Herb Garden's players had never contacted him face to face.

The BOSS respawned at random times. So for killing the Goblin Merchant, he couldn't say when. However, after all these years, everyone knew how to deal with it. In any case, they had to do what they had to do first. After finding the wild BOSS, they could go over.

So when 12 o'clock arrived, everyone still formed parties to dungeon. Ye Xiu received Seven Field's message asking whether he was going to Frost Forest.

Brother expert had actively called for them to kill the Blood Gunner, which moved these few players. They felt that they had gotten closer with brother expert. Seeing that it was 12 o'clock and they had dungeon entries again, they immediately contacted him.

"Are you missing players?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yeah, we're missing one." Seven Fields said.

"Oh, then I'll be there right away." Ye Xiu said. Dungeons were work that had to be done everyday. They were the main source of experience and money. Even if he hadn't received Seven Field's invite, Ye Xiu would have joined a random party. At least with these few brothers, he had priority over his requirements. Getting this benefit wasn't easy.

After Lord Grim moved to Frost Forest, Ye Xiu unexpectedly saw that noob Brawler Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Why is it you?" Ye Xiu was baffled. Sweeping over everyone, he saw that Sleeping Moon wasn't there again. Did that little guy still hate him? Ye Xiu didn't know. Sleeping Moon hadn't added him as a friend yet.

"It's me, it's me. I'm following these big bros to learn." Steamed Bun Invasion was very modest.

Although Ye Xiu knew that this guy was a noob, his hand speed was quite quick.

"Sleeping Moon played all day, so he went offline. Immersed Jade also couldn't pull an all-nighter again." Seven Fields explained.

"Oh, I can't do it tomorrow either." Sunset Clouds regretfully said.

"And you, brother expert?" Seven Fields seized the opportunity to hear about Ye Xiu's work and rest. From these three days, he could see that brother expert played all night every day.

"I'll still be playing during the night." Ye Xiu laughed.

They formed a party and the five entered the dungeon. Although this Steamed Bun was a noob, he was the highest level among the five of them, Level 23. Everyone chatted and asked about this. Then they knew that this guy played too crazily. When the server opened, he played for 24 hours without resting. On the second day, he carelessly slept a bit and then continued playing. From the start to now, it had been 48 hours. He spent 6 hours eating and sleeping, so he played for 42 hours. That was comparable to the Great Guilds rotating.

Everyone sighed and then began killing monsters. As before, Ye Xiu led them and everything went smoothly.

"After Sand Toss, it's best to not immediately rush up and attack. These are only monsters, so it's a bit better. But if this was PK, as soon as they lose vision, experienced players would definitely use a horizontal sweep or a similar attack in front of them." Ye Xiu found time to instruct Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Then what should I do?" Steamed Bun Invasion consulted.

"Stupid, go around the back to attack. They can't see anyways." Seven Fields and the others also spoke as instructors.

"Going around the back is one method." Ye Xiu didn't directly deny Seven Fields and the other's teaching, "However, that method takes time, wasting some of the precious seconds of Blind. Actually, the best method is not to use Sand Toss as an opener. It's best to use it in the middle of a combo. When fighting hand to hand, it's best to use Sand Toss to catch them off guard. At the same time, you guarantee that even if you miss the Blind, you still have other options."

"So you're saying that it's best not to completely place your hopes on the Blind?" Steamed Bun Invasion said.

"Correct, opening up with a Sand Toss's Blind and then attacking is an outdated method. Besides new players, no one uses it like that anymore. Besides new players, no one would fall for it either." Ye Xiu said.

"Then if you're opening with a sneak attack? Then can you use Sand Toss?" Steamed Bun Invasion asked.

"This…… you can……." After Ye Xiu replied, he started sweating. New strategies really did replace the old ones as time went on. Nowadays, even a noob's reasoning was so despicable.

"But I also can't completely place my hopes on Blind for the follow up attack!" Steamed Bun Invasion summarized the main point.

"Yup." Ye Xiu said.

"I understand now." Steamed Bun Invasion felt that he learned this and was very satisfied. After that, he started practicing on monsters. While testing his attacks, he looked for an opportunity to use Sand Toss. Stupid NPC monsters wouldn't turn their head away like players would to avoid the Blind method. Steamed Bun Invasion used Sand Toss pretty well.

"Brother expert, when are you going to bring us to kill the Goblin Merchant?" Seven Fields and the others asked. These guys were also very greedy.

"Ah, that. I already agreed to help Tyrannical Ambition!" Ye Xiu said.

"Tyrannical Ambition?" Seven Fields and the others became gloomy, "Are you going to join them?"

"Nope!"

"Then?"

"I'm just going to help them kill the Goblin Merchant." Ye Xiu said.

"Hired?" Seven Fields and the others asked. They were familiar with this term too. Dungeoning parties often had hired players. These mostly appeared in medium to small guilds. This was because these medium to small guild's strength wasn't enough, so they couldn't beat a few dungeons. In order to obtain equipment to raise their stats, they would sometimes hire experts to help them.

But hiring never showed up in the Three Great Guilds. How could the Three Great Guilds not have experts? What type of dungeon couldn't they clear? What BOSS couldn't they beat? They were the game's peak team strength. If even they couldn't do it, then no outside hired hand could help.

But now, brother expert was actually hired by these Three Great Guilds. This wasn't selling himself to slavery. This felt like they were asking a celebrity to tour around with them; he was a star that demanded a fee to appear on stage.

Seven Fields and the others were both envious and in admiration. Thinking of the beginning when they tried to rope brother expert into their Full Moon Guild, they really were ashamed. Even the Three Great Guilds payed him to appear on stage. For their Full Moon Guild, fiftieth ranked in the Heavenly Domain, even giving brother expert the guild leader position wasn't sufficient!

While they talked, a message flashed. Ye Xiu opened it. It was Endless Night: "The Goblin Merchant has appeared!!"

"I'm in the middle of a dungeon!" Ye Xiu regretted.

"Same. Everyone's in a dungeon. Let's contact after we come out!" Endless Night said.

Chapter 74 – Understanding Information

12 o'clock- not all of the Level 20 and up players, but most of them, were clearing dungeons. It was the new server's third day. Everyone continued their crazy training state of mind. As for players Level 20 and below, having not left the beginner village yet, Frost Forest was completely unrelated to them.

When the Goblin Merchant was discovered, who found it first or how many players had discovered it, no one knew. In short, now that Tyrannical Ambition received the info, they immediately notified all of the guild members. Those who weren't in a dungeon hurried over. Those who were in a dungeon increased their pace. Naturally, Ye Xiu was notified too.

"The Goblin Merchant has spawned. Let's speed up. I need to hurry over there." Ye Xiu led the party and increased their pace.

Seven Fields and the others were envious, but they didn't waste time. With Ye Xiu's powerful leading, they advanced quickly and overthrew the Frost Thain in 28 minutes. After leaving the dungeon, Ye Xiu contacted Endless Night. They had also already left the dungeon. At this moment, they were heading over to the Goblin Merchant. After asking for its location, Lord Grim immediately rushed over as fast as he could. Seven Fields and the others wanted to watch the exciting battle and Ye Xiu didn't block them.

The dungeon resided in the Frost Forest jungle. The vast unimportant areas outside the dungeon were leveling areas. Along the way, Ye Xiu saw quite a few also running in the same direction as Lord Grim. After all, Frost Forest was unlike from Boneyard because this place was more populated. For wild BOSSes, the Three Great Guilds were never the only guilds there. Quite a few guilds also actively participated in this event. Moreover, there was no lack of opportunities. After all, the Three Great Guilds constantly held each other back. Ye Xiu wasn't the only one who took advantage of this situation.

"I see you." While running, he suddenly received a message. Ye Xiu looked and saw that it was Endless Night. He glanced around left and right and sure enough, he found that guy.

Endless Night sent an invite over. After Lord Grim left the dungeon, he had already left Seven Field's party. Ye Xiu accepted the invite and joined the party. Evidently, this was Tyrannical Ambition's main party. The party leader was their guild leader Cold Night.

"Welcome, Lord Grim." Endless Night typed out in the party channel and sent a clapping emoticon.

The string of players below copied him and also clapped. Ye Xiu didn't hesitate and returned a cupped-fist emoticon to show his respect.

The two sides linked up and used voice to communicate.

"There are a lot of people!" Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah. The Three Great Guilds aren't the only ones here this time. There are a lot of players who came here to get in on the action."

"Besides Herb Garden and Blue Brook Guild, what other guilds are relatively strong?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Excellent Dynasty, Samsara, Misty Castle, Void Walk, Blossom Valley, Howling Heights, 301……"

"Okay okay okay……" Ye Xiu found that Endless Night had tendency to never stop talking.

"It's just that there are too many powers with the strength to kill the Goblin Merchant." Endless Night said.

"With such a complicated situation, Lord Grim, what do you think is the most important point?" Guild leader Cold Night asked.

"Aggro." Ye Xiu hit the nail on the head, "Whichever side can stabilize the Goblin's aggro will be able to take the initiative."

"But you have to know, whoever pulls the Goblin's aggro will also pull every other player's aggro too." Cold Night said.

"So the person who pulls the aggro can't be the only one." Ye Xiu said.

"Can't be the only one?"

"Right, form a full DPS party. The damage output has to be able to completely restrain the BOSS and guarantee that at anytime and anywhere, if any person hears the command, they can immediately OT!" Ye Xiu said.

"Exactly how much do you like full DPS parties?" Endless Night ridiculed.

"Won't a lot of players die?" Cold Night said.

"If you completely use the jungle, then there might not be a lot of deaths." Ye Xiu said.

"How exactly are we supposed to do this?" Cold Night asked.

"Give me five Level 20s and up with Purple weapons to output damage. No problem?" Ye Xiu said.

"No problem. Everyone in this party has a Purple weapon." Cold Night said.

"I have an Orange weapon." Endless Night showed off.

"Cleric, behave yourself." Ye Xiu said.

"What classes do you want?" Cold Night asked.

"All long-ranged would be the best." Ye Xiu said.

"I'll call people….." Cold Night said. Clearly, his party didn't have five long-ranged classes.

"They'll be here soon." Cold Night informed.

"Weapon info."

"Wait a moment." Cold Night went to gather their weapon info. He then sent them one by one. Gunners were completely long-ranged classes. Besides them, Mages and Spellblades possessed a certain amount of long-ranged strength. Of the five players that Cold Night gathered, three were Gunners: a Sharpshooter, a Launcher, and a Spitfire. The other two were an Elementalist and a Spellblade. Their weapons were all Purple and ones that their class were proficient in. After glancing over them, Ye Xiu asked: "Their skill levels?"

Cold Night ran over again and asked them. In a moment, he gathered the five player's skill choices and levels to him.

"Do you still have a……"

"Brother, please tell me everything at once. Please!!!" Cold Night's cheeks streamed with tears. He was the guild leader. Running back and forth like a secretary, what was this!

"I mainly want to understand these five's ability to output damage." Ye Xiu said.

"If you told me earlier, then wouldn't letting you see their player profiles be good enough?" Cold Night cried.

"Their ability to output damage isn't the same as their damage numbers. What special effects do the weapons have? Did the equipment add any additional skills? How much damage do their skills do? Does the player profile have these?" Ye Xiu said.

"Brother, I was wrong……" Cold Night's cheeks streamed with tears and went to ask again.

After understanding the equipment, Ye Xiu said: "Okay, I've understood these. Is there still anything on the player profile that I can see?"

"No need, right?" Cold Night wasn't sure if this was a rhetorical question or a question he should answer, so he had not choice but to answer it.

"You five players hurry up and get into position!" Ye Xiu said.

"You're leading this party to do damage. What about us?" Cold Night asked.

"Our party is for pulling the aggro. You guys are the damage……" Ye Xiu said.

Cold Night teared up. It looked like he was a noob! What to do, what to do?

"Look, it's the Goblin Merchant!!" Ye Xiu took in the information along the way. Everyone in front of him never stopped until they finally reached their destination. And when they looked, they saw a scene filled with noise and excitement. Players were everywhere, shouting to capture the Goblin Merchant.

This Goblin Merchant was also green-skinned from head to toe, but his appearance didn't look as crafty as the Goblins in the dungeons. It looked very simple and honest. It carried a massive backpack on its back and vigorously ran in the forest. From time to time, it would fish out something from its backpack and threw it.

Firecracker, Grenade, Molotov Cocktail, Brick, Wine Bottle…….

Anything was possible.

It hadn't been that long since the first players discovered the Goblin Merchant. At least, they still hadn't surrounded it yet. The Goblin Merchant that was leading around the parties muttered words in a language that no one understood.

After throwing a Molotov Cocktail, the scene transformed into a sea of fire. And the Goblin Merchant lightly and quickly leaped off a tree stump.

A sword light flashed and streaked across the dusky forest. The sword wind swept up the dried up leaves on the ground, which fluttered up in a straight line. The Goblin was accurately slashed in mid-air and fell to the ground.

Blade Master Skill: Sword Draw.

A player came out from behind the tree: Blue River.

Chapter 75 – Losing the Fight for the Monster

Indeed, Blue River was a rare expert. This Sword Draw was accurate and precise. The sword arrived before the person and landed a beautiful Aerial Attack on the Goblin Merchant. If this was Seven Fields, it'd be difficult for him to do this move.

Blue River followed up with a Triple Slash. This was an attack and movement Blade Master Skill. Just before the Goblin Merchant hit the ground, his character swiftly slid forward and shua shua shua three sword lights and three marks of blood flew through the air.

Upward Slash! Blue River slashed again with his sword, ready to knock the Goblin Merchant into the air. When suddenly, an eccentric battle lance flew by. Blue River saw this weird battle lance and his heart tightened. He shot a glance and sure enough, it was Lord Grim.

One sword and one lance headed towards the Goblin Merchant together. The sword was fast, the lance was long, which would arrive first?

Was it me? Blue River felt that the uppercut he made with his sword arrived at the same time as Lord Grim's stab. But by the time the Goblin ate his attack, it had already risen higher up into the air.

The battle lance stabbed forth. The Goblin Merchant was immediately drawn across a semi-circle and was thrown onto the ground next to Lord Grim.

Circle Swing.

Both of their skills hit the Goblin Merchant. Regretfully, Lord Grim used a seizing skill. By the time the Goblin Merchant was shaken off, he was already in front of Blue River, blocking his path.

Lord Grim's face was in front of him, but his character's face was always so empty. Blue River didn't know what Lord Grim's mood was, but he knew that he himself was very calm. Without hesitating, he sweeped across with his blade, slicing towards Lord Grim.

Lord Grim leaped backwards, dodging the attack. Mid-leap, he was positioned behind the Goblin Merchant. Suddenly, a Sky Strike hit the Goblin Merchant. Immediately following, a Falling Flower Palm exploded onto the Goblin Merchant's body.

The Goblin Merchant went flying, smashing towards Blue River.

Too quick!

At this moment, personally fighting against Lord Grim, Blue River finally experienced how fast this guy's operation was. Just before, when he used a Sky Strike, did he even finish jumping backwards? He actually hit the Goblin Merchant so precisely in midair? The following Falling Flower Palm was even more ridiculous. Was the Goblin Merchant really already in the air when he used it? If it really was still collapsed onto the ground, Falling Flower Palm didn't have an On the Ground effect.

On the Ground was a type of attack in Glory. It was a Pursuit attack targeting the opponent on the ground. Falling Flower Palm was a straight-line skill and wouldn't be able to hit a target on the ground. He first used a Sky Strike in order to let the Goblin Merchant into a mid-air state. Only then would the Falling Flower Palm hit it.

In Blue River's eyes, he only felt that Lord Grim's backwards leap, Sky Strike, into Falling Flower Palm was inconceivably quick. He couldn't even tell if he had hit the Sky Strike or the Flower Palm, when the Goblin Merchant had already flew towards him.

All in all, Blue River's strength wasn't ordinary either. He immediately guarded when the Goblin Merchant smashed into him. The Goblin knocked against his sword blade and Blue River slid backwards a step, but in the end, Blue River wasn't knocked down by the strike.

His main goal wasn't to fight Lord Grim, but rather to steal the Goblin Merchant!

Blue River's train of thought was exceptionally clear. It was just that he didn't have a skill like Circle Swing that could throw the Goblin to the side and increase the distance between the Goblin and Lord Grim. Blue River could only increase his damage output to establish the Goblin Merchant's aggro onto himself and let it come to him.

Rise and fall, Falling Light Blade.

Unfortunately, the current Battle Master was a class without any On the Ground skills.

In the end, right when he leaped up and slammed towards the ground, before he could pull out his sword, a sword light sweeped out towards him. The speed was too quick for Blue River and the attack was filled with tyranny. Blue River saw blood blossom out from his head as he was hit in midair and flew backwards. He only had one thought in his head: impossible!

He clearly saw that when Lord Grim used Sword Draw, he didn't switch weapons in his inventory. He directly pulled out a sword from the handle of that eccentric battle lance. After the sword light flashed, it disappeared. Blue River looked again and saw that Lord Grim didn't have a sword in his hand. Did his eyes imagine it?

Blue River believed that he didn't. But he couldn't understand what had just happened in that instant.

Blue River didn't tumble. When he landed on the ground, he immediately rolled forward and used Quick Recover to avoid falling to the ground. At this moment, the distance between himself and the Goblin Merchant increased once again. Blue River impatiently ran forward.

"Boom!"

Another boom rang out and Blue River was thrown into the air.

F*ck! Blue River cursed secretly. This was his own mistake this time. He only focused on getting close to the Goblin Merchant and forgot that the BOSS would release a shockwave when it got up. Otherwise, the BOSS would stay on the ground, unable to get up.

The shockwave hit Blue River into the air, but he once again used Quick Recover to avoid falling to the ground. He looked and saw that Lord Grim skillfully jumped to avoid the shockwave and had already rushed up to the Goblin Merchant. He directly used Fling and threw the Goblin farther away. Over there, numerous Tyrannical Ambition players swarmed around it.

In the short fight over the BOSS, Blue River lost.

But he knew that this was far from over. Everyone on the field, including their Blue Brook Guild, definitely wouldn't let Tyrannical Ambition casually kill off the Goblin Merchant.

"Have you arrived yet?" Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim to rush towards the Tyrannical Ambition group. After slashing a few times to stabilize the aggro onto the Goblin Merchant, he asked this question.

"Almost here." Cold Night was even more anxious than Ye Xiu. This Goblin Merchant had already been pulled.

A large crowd of players had already rushed towards that area. However, the Goblin Merchant was currently in Tyrannical Ambition's hands. Many hesitated for a bit. They didn't to just give up on the BOSS and hoped that someone stood out and rushed forward. After all, in their hearts, none of them wanted to directly clash with Tyrannical Ambition.

Of course, not all of the players were afraid of Tyrannical Ambition. Blue Brook Guild's players weren't scared at all.

The Blood Gunner incident was still vividly in their minds. The reason that matters turned bad was because the three guilds hesitated. They were all afraid of going forward and being attacked from behind. This time, Blue River was exceptionally decisive. Without even thinking, he took the lead and rushed up. More than a dozen Blue Brook Guild experts followed closely behind him and equally matched the current group of Tyrannical Ambition players.

"Scatter!" Ye Xiu commanded. Cold Night and the others followed his orders and scattered in every direction. The Goblin Merchant was once again struck flying by Falling Flower Palm. That Spitfire and Elementalist were in the left and right position. Most of their figures were hidden behind a tree. When their skills were off cooldown, they suddenly stuck their heads out and attacked the Goblin Merchant. Cold Night led a group of close-combat experts, but didn't go up to surround it. They only paid attention to its move path. From time to time, when this Goblin Merchant passed by a tree, a player would suddenly pop out and punch or slash at the BOSS.

Blue River was dumbstruck, he had never seen anyone fight the BOSS like this before.

Chapter 76 – Controlling the BOSS's Move Path

In the forest, Blue River practically only saw the Goblin Merchant, with his butt out, carrying a massive backpack and chasing Lord Grim's figure. The rest of Tyrannical Ambition's players had unexpectedly all scattered into the woods, becoming sniper guerillas.

This Goblin Merchant, when facing normal players, wouldn't it bounce around and freely and easily throw items out of his backpack? Why was it having such a hard time chasing Lord Grim? When it threw a grenade, Lord Grim had actually hit it back in midair, making it explode onto its head. It really was stupid. What timed grenade? You were using a trigger type!

Although it was like this, to hit the grenade in midair back to the Goblin Merchant's head, Lord Grim wasn't only quick, his microing was extremely precise too!

Blue River madly chased after it while sighing with sorrow.

After all, Lord Grim was both attacking and leading the Goblin Merchant away. He couldn't be moving at his fastest speed. Blue River and the others quickly caught up. Behind his Blue Brook Guild, a crowd of other players also steadily kept pace behind them as if they were wolves.

How could Blue River not know that those guys behind his butt were despicable? But the Blood Gunner incident taught them a bloody lesson. If he hesitated and didn't move forward, then Tyrannical Ambition would take the advantage.

"Thousand Creations, go around to the front and block him." Blue River said.

"Why me?" Thousand Creations was depressed.

"You're a Battle Mage; if you don't go who will?" With the Chaser's additional effects, Battle Mages were faster than others by a grade.

"There's still Little Sea!" Thousand Creations was talking about another Battle Mage, Little Sea.

"Your skill is better." Blue River wasn't afraid to hurt Little Sea. Everyone recognized Thousand Creation's skill.

"In that guy's eyes, my little skill is nothing." Thousand Creations said.

"How many times have you fought with him?" Blue River said.

"I don't believe you can't see his terrifying skill!" Thousand Creations said.

"Okay! There's nothing to block anyways, we've already caught up." Thundering Light ridiculed. While these two guys argued, the Goblin Merchant had already entered their range. Thundering Light stepped forward and used Raging Flames.

It wasn't easy for the mage to hit the target. He first had to be familiar with the magic's release time and determine the target's movement direction and speed to predict its future position. Thundering Light was an expert and wasn't lacking in this area. Raging Flames covered a wide area, so it was a bit easier to hit. He accurately chose the area three bodies in front of the Goblin Merchant and casted his magic, releasing it there.

"Spitfire!" At this moment, Ye Xiu sent a message to the party.

The party channel was completely clean. They were afraid of affecting Ye Xiu's leading. When the Spitfire saw the message, without saying another word, he fired a Light-element bullet. The Light-element bullet flickered and sent out a pa pa sound, instantly hitting the Goblin Merchant's body.

Light scattered around the Goblin Merchant's body. It trembled from head to toe. After the short distraction, it suddenly changed directions towards the left side of the forest and ran.

"F*CKER!!" Thundering Light was dumbstruck. His magic had already finished casting and he thought that he would see the Goblin Merchant fly up into the air. This would have been the perfect opportunity to let them fight over it for at least two seconds. Who knew that the Goblin Merchant would suddenly changed directions and aggro onto a different target. Having changed direction, that Raging Flames rose up but only hit air.

"Do you have any skill? Can you play? You let it OT at a key moment, you idiot!!" Thundering Light stomped furiously and shouted angrily at the tree in that direction.

"So noisy." A Brawler from Blue Brook Guild said this and threw a Brick at the Goblin Merchant. Although a thrown Brick would have its effect reduced by half, it was thrown at the back of the Goblin's head, so its chance to Dizzy increased by half too. As a result, the chance to Dizzy was quite high and would stall it for a bit of time.

Who knew that a gun sound would ring out while this flying Brick was in midair. With a bang, the Brick was broken into pieces and a pile of brick dust fell down. The Brawler was also dumbstruck.

"F*CKER!!!" The Brawler shouted, "Am I cursed? Am I dreaming? Tyrannical Ambition has this sort of expert?"

No one answered him. The players with good eyes had seen that the weird thing in Lord Grim's hand had puffed out gun smoke.

"Pay attention to Lord Grim's weapon." Blue River said to everyone, "It's weird."

"Model?"

"No……" Blue River couldn't think of the word at this moment.

"Capture the Goblin Merchant before talking!" Someone said.

Although both had failed to stall the Goblin Merchant, the distance between Blue Brook Guild and the Goblin merchant still closed. Who would have thought that when the Goblin Merchant ran to that tree, the one to appear wasn't a Spitfire, but a Grappler. The Grappler grabbed the Goblin Merchant and threw it towards Lord Grim.

Grapplers were specialists in grabbing and each grab had different effects. This Fling threw it faster and farther than Lord Grim's usual Fling. Blue Brook Guild once again went on a pointless trip and everyone was seething with anger. At that side, Lord Grim had already welcomed it and after two or three attacks, he reestablished the Goblin Merchant's aggro onto himself. He did another Circle Swing and Fling. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the Goblin Merchant and Blue Brook Guild widened once again.

"Wait a moment." Bound Boat figured something out.

"That OT just before might not have been an accident. It was something they arranged. It was intentional." Bound Boat said.

"What are you saying?" Everyone was frightened.

"They want to use this sort of method to actively control the Goblin's move path.

"Is that sort of method even possible?" Everyone was at a loss.

"The facts are in front of you." Bound Boat said.

"It's Lord Grim. It's all because of his leading." Blue River said.

"What do we do?" Someone asked.

"Disperse into groups of two and attack everyone of them!" Blue River said.

"That'd make us easy pickings!" Bound Boat was a little worried about the players behind them.

"Those trash won't change the situation." Blue River said.

"How come we haven't seen anyone from Herb Garden?" Bound Boat said.

"That trash Plantago Seed is hiding again. We have to be cautious of this. Why aren't our players here yet!" Blue River was worried. Their Blue Brook Guild wasn't just these dozen or so people!

"Herb Garden's players are here!" Bound Boat suddenly put out these words.

Blue River looked forward, as expected, a crowd of players lay in the forest in front of them. Although the names on top of their heads weren't clear, Blue River had had many dealings with them and instantly determined that they were Herb Garden names.

"They're going around to flank them." Bound Boat said.

"That trash Plantago Seed, he definitely received info from a traitor." Blue River disdained.

"When they go block Lord Grim's path, take advantage of the situation to steal the BOSS back." Bound Boat said.

"FORWARD!" Blue River roared.

Chapter 77: Directly Flying Over

Translator:Nomyummi

Editor:GravityTales

Blue Brook Guild's players were chasing from behind. And ahead, Herb Garden's players suddenly popped out. Tyrannical Ambition sunk into a dilemma where they were pressed from the front and rear.

"Elementalist!" Ye Xiu yelled.

The Elementalist immediately cast a Flame Explosion and the BOSS once again OTed. The Goblin Merchant headed towards the Elementalist located in the right side of the forest.

"It really is on purpose!!" Blue River and the others were certain now.

"Are they going to run to the east?" Bound Boat decided.

"Go east." Blue River led his party to the east and was ready to rush over when the time was right.

"If you meet Tyrannical Ambition's players, don't be polite!" Blue River commanded.

"We definitely won't." Everyone declared.

While they ran to the east, everyone payed attention to behind the trees. They all hoped to pick off a Tyrannical Ambition player to warm up. In the end, the only things they were able to pick off were small Goblins. They didn't find a single Tyrannical Ambition player. The Tyrannical Ambitions they occasionally saw were all even farther away than the Goblin Merchant.

The Herb Garden Players in front of them didn't want to fall behind either, so when the Blue Brook Guild changed direction, they also raced against Blue Brook Guild and rushed to the east.

When the two guilds changed directions, Bound Boat was immediately startled: "They're not trying to misdirect us, right?"

Blue River also felt something wasn't right: "Bring a few players and go around to the west!"

Bound Boat immediately chose a few players. The Blue Brook Guild force split into two. One went to the east to intercept, while the other went to the west to prepare for an interception.

Herb Garden immediately responded in the same way and sent a part of their forces to the west. Those who didn't understand the situation would have thought that these two groups were together. In reality, they weren't together at all. Both groups would be delighted if the other group made a mistake.

The Goblin Merchant that was running at the Elementalist was suddenly hit by a Repel from behind a tree. It slipped backwards a length and then a gun sound rang out. The Goblin Merchant once again turned around in hesitation.

As expected, it really was a misdirection. The Blue Brook Guild and Herb Garden players that saw this scene all began pondering over it in their hearts. Moreover, the Goblin was rushing over to where Lord Grim was.

D*mn!

Who would have thought that the one to OT and take the aggro was Lord Grim. And this guy ran to the north. Although Herb Garden had split its forces to the east and west, there was still time to merge again and block the enemy's path. If they kept on running, then wouldn't they be running into a metal wall?

"What type of trick is he planning to pull?" Players who loved to analyze were all pondering over Lord Grim's thinking.

"He'll definitely change routes, right?" Some players thought.

Herb Garden pondered over this even more seriously. After all, they were there to block his path. East or west or the original direction, where were they supposed to wait?

In the end, Plantago Seed helplessly split his forces into three. He had no choice but to defend every side. No choice: if the other side wanted to OT, then they would OT. Whatever route they wanted the Goblin Merchant to follow, the Goblin Merchant would follow. They could only defend on all three sides.

Which side would he go to?

Everyone carried this type of question, fixed their attention on the Goblin's move path. In the end, they didn't see any change. They saw Lord Grim lead the Goblin Merchant directly towards Herb Garden's interception.

Herb Garden also had a dozen or so players here. They immediately formed an arc to surround him. Long-ranged Gunner class players had already c*cked their guns and fired. Mages began casting their magic.

Lord Grim suddenly leaped. The Gunners immediately adjusted their aim. But in the end, they saw Lord Grim spin 180 degrees in the air, his butt pointed at them.

The butt is the butt! The gunners didn't really care and their cursors quickly aimed at his butt.

A gun sound.

Admiration arose in the Gunners' hearts. Who aimed so quickly? What an amazing speed!

Then, they saw Lord Grim slide across the horizon.

"D*mn, it's his Aerial Fire!!!!" All of the Gunners cried out in fear. In Aerial Fire, the higher the recoil, the faster the flying speed. Lord Grim's gun had to be at least a Rifle grade. All of the Gunners raised their guns and open fired. But in the end, they only hit air. The target moved too quickly and they weren't able to hit him.

Lord Grim's butt reached the top of their heads in a flash. Then, they saw Lord Grim turn his body.

A cold light flashed and Lord Grim pulled out a sword in midair.

"Falling Light Blade! Quickly retreat!" The Blade Masters all warned.

Their judgement wasn't wrong. A bright light slashed down from midair. It was precisely the Battle Master Skill Falling Light Blade. 。 These dozen Herb Garden players weren't ordinary players. Every one of them jumped backwards. The bright light fell to the ground and a small light wave rippled out. But the dozen players had already jumped outside of the wave's range.

"Forward!" Someone roared. After the light wave scattered, in an instant, the dozen players rushed forward.

Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestation Umbrella shook and the umbrella flipped, not maintaining the Battle Lance form. A third of the umbrella ribs suddenly broke off. The remaining two thirds of the umbrella ribs bent into a sickle-like shape. And at the same time, the umbrella handle moved outwards as if he were pulling out a sword, but stopped two thirds of the way out. In the end, the umbrella handle extended a length.

This transformation only took an instant. The players surrounding him only saw a blur and Lord Grim's weapon had already changed into a different shape. They couldn't really describe the weapon, but it looked like a……

His arms swung and the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella drew out a 360 degree circle around him. When the starting point and ending point linked together, the circle suddenly flashed a blue light.

"F*CK!! Rising Emblem!!" A player finally called out.

This time, the players surrounding him retreated a little too late. The floating blue circle suddenly flashed and grew larger and a pale blue ring suddenly rose. The dozen players were all inside the ring. They weren't able to dodge in time and were thrown up into the air.

The Priest Class Exorcist Skill: Rising Emblem

The skill did magic damage and knocked up all players inside the Rising Emblem.

By the time the dozen players fell back to the ground, Lord Grim had already broken through their blockade. A few players tried hard to attack Lord Grim in midair. But while knocked up, the target was constantly moving and difficult to target accurately; it wasn't an easy task. Not everyone could do this well. In the end, everyone's attacks were futile efforts and weren't threatening at all.

However, almost all of the players were able to Quick Recover after falling down, showing the quality of Herb Garden's players.

But when they were still rolling and getting up, they all saw a grenade within their circle.

A boom and the dozen players swayed side to side from the explosion. Within the surging smoke, the Goblin Merchant carried its backpack and freely and easily passed through them.

Everyone's cheeks streamed with tears. The Goblin Merchant's aggro wasn't on their characters. That explosion obviously wasn't meant for them. Clearly, Lord Grim had intentionally drawn the Goblin Merchant to throw it at them. Why did the Goblin Merchant help Lord Grim? Why couldn't you have thrown a Brick at them? Did you have to throw an AoE Grenade?

Chapter 78 – Forced Into Helplessness

The ten swaying players didn't have time to recover when they saw a dozen Tyrannical Ambition players evilly come out from behind the trees and rush over. The Tyrannical Ambition players took the opportunity to conveniently throw a few Grenades and cast out some magic towards them without wasting time, and then continued to chase the Goblin Merchant. After all, that was their true target.

The dozen players swayed once again and turned depressed. Just when they recovered, Blue Brook Guild's players whistled by.

"Trash! Truly trash." Blue River relentlessly ridiculed these opponents. Afterwards, he led his group of people and shua shua shua shua also took the opportunity to conveniently slash a few times and cast some magic.

These pitiful dozen players were tossed around from all around. Their luck wasn't good. They were bullied around. They were taken advantage of. They directly fell and died.

Plantago Seed was extremely furious. The BOSS hadn't been stopped and his guild members were even taken advantage of. He directly sent Blue River a message: "You're all beasts!!"

"You guys really are a bunch of trash. You couldn't even stop the BOSS." Blue River replied.

"You f*ckers were here all day and you guys couldn't do anything." Plantago Seed replied.

"We're both in the same boat." Blue River replied.

Afterwards, both sides were completely silent. Their hearts felt very heavy.

Ahead, the injuries the Goblin Merchant suffered grew more and more severe. Clearly, Tyrannical Ambition's reinforcements were gradually trickling in. Every time Blue River and the others closed in, Tyrannical Ambition nimbly OTed, keeping them away. The Goblin Merchant's advance wasn't regular at all, making everyone feel extremely frustrated.

Blue River had originally hoped that Herb Garden's interception would help them catch up. But who knew that Herb Garden's players were complete trash? Helpless, he could only use his original plan.

"Two players in a team. Look for Tyrannical Ambition players and get rid of them!"

They basically couldn't catch the Goblin Merchant. They would occasionally hit it once or twice, but this sort of hit was the same as helping Tyrannical Ambition output damage. They weren't able to steal its aggro and were unable to take the initiative from beginning to end. If they kept wasting their time like this, then Tyrannical Ambition's damage output would be enough. The BOSS could kill whoever it liked, but as long as someone from Tyrannical Ambition stayed alive, then it wasn't possible to steal it away. Only if they were able to completely drive them out or kill them all out would they be able to steal it.

As a result, stealing the BOSS was quite difficult. If they arrived too late, there was no way to take back the damage on the BOSS, so the only solution would be to kill everyone that had attacked the BOSS. This turned into a big PK problem because the skill gap between players was very small. Killing players would always be more difficult than killing monsters. Moreover, there was no end to the trouble.

Blue Brook Guild didn't worry about any later troubles. Directly fighting with Tyrannical Ambition and PKing with them to steal the BOSS were occurrences that they were already used to. To them, the more crucial point was that Tyrannical Ambition's strength and their strength were about the same. As a result, if they fought them, then it would be a 50-50 fight.

But regardless of this, it was still better than silently watching. Blue Brook Guild had around twenty players at hand. At this moment, they split into around ten small two-member teams and spread throughout the forest. As soon as they saw a Tyrannical Ambition player, they would immediately hurry over.

In an instant, the Goblin Merchant was no longer the sole focus. All of the Tyrannical Ambition players were. The two-member teams that found them all cautiously closed in on their targets.

But chasing players wasn't an easy task. Everyone's levels and equipment were around the same. Their movement speed and endurance were also around the same. Chasing and chasing, Thundering Light suddenly said in the guild channel: "Huh? Where did that Goblin Merchant go? I can't see it anymore."

His message roused everyone. Everyone had only been focused on the target in front of them. But what about their end target? Was it still there? Once everyone took note of it, even those who could still see the Goblin Merchant, suddenly found that it was farther away.

"We've been duped……" Bound Boat recovered.

"This time's BOSS, let's give up!" Blue River gloomily announced.

The guild members didn't utter a word. This sort of situation was rarely seen in their famous Blue Brook Guild. Fighting and then giving up midway? This sort of attitude usually only happened when a new dungeon and new BOSS was released. But now? It was just a Goblin Merchant. It was a small BOSS everyone knew thoroughly. Their opponents were also the extremely familiar Tyrannical Ambition. Their opponents only had a Lord Grim, yet they had unexpectedly given them such a difficult time and made them give up.

"Hey, why aren't you guys chasing anymore?" Plantago Seed sent a message.

"It's all yours." Blue River said.

"What are you planning?" Plantago Seed doubted.

"Keep chasing and you'll know."

Because Plantago Seed and the others had just turned around from being in the front for an interception to chasing from behind, at this moment, they hadn't yet experienced how Tyrannical Ambition used OT to control the Goblin Merchant's move path. Their morale was still high!

However, this only lasted for a short moment. After Herb Garden chased for awhile, they were finally also all shocked by that sort of OT move path method. After trying left and right to no avail, Plantago Seed heavily announced; "Two players in a team. Start killing Tyrannical Ambition's players."

Although Blue Brook Guild's players had already given up, they still casually followed them to watch the excitement. Seeing how Herb Garden did the same as them and split up to kill Tyrannical Ambition's players, they all suddenly felt great!

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk." The crowd was filled with these sort of sounds.

After five minutes, Plantago Seed sent Blue River a message: "You f*cker! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Clearly, they had also discovered that they had been tricked.

"If I said it would you have believed me?" Blue River replied.

Plantago Seed muttered to himself and then replied seriously: "I definitely wouldn't have."

"Then that's that." Blue River said.

"What do we do now? Are you guys going to give up?" Plantago Seed.

"Yeah." Blue River said.

"I……. I don't really believe you." Plantago Seed said.

"You f*cker……." Blue River said helplessly.

Herb Garden's players once again gathered together dejectedly for awhile. Blue Brook Guild wasn't far from them. The one that were very far from them was the Goblin Merchant.

Of those other assortment of guilds and players, the ones with skill had already seen that Herb Garden and Blue Brook Guild had given up. These two big guilds had skill and were organized too. Yet they hadn't fared well at all. So what could these second-rate guilds and other random players do?

At this moment, if everyone united together, there might still be a chance. But who would lead them?

Plantago Seed grew restless. He moved in front of Blue River and directly said: "If we can't kill it, how can we just let Tyrannical Ambition easily take it! If we all unite together, it doesn't matter who takes the first kill, in any case, it better not be Tyrannical Ambition's name."

"It's just a Goblin Merchant. Is there any point in making such a big scene?" Blue River said.

Plantago Seed thought. There really was no point. This was the smallest wild BOSS. If Tyrannical Ambition won over it, it didn't mean anything. There was still a long road ahead of them.

"You're always unwilling to!" Plantago Seed said.

"Then you go ahead. It's not like I'm stopping you." Blue River said.

"F*cker, using so much effort won't do a lot of good. I'm not going to do it on my own!" Plantago Seed said.

Chapter 79: Changing Spring

Translator:Nomyummi

Editor:GravityTales

The hunting for the Goblin Merchant started off exciting, but ended peacefully.

Once Blue Brook Guild and Herb Garden gave up, the other guilds with skill all got a clue and decided to not waste any more time. The remaining random players still didn't understand the situation and refused to give up. They ended up assisting Tyrannical Ambition in outputting damage. Finally, when Tyrannical Ambition was announced as the Goblin Merchant's first killers, Blue Brook Guild and Herb Garden were extremely tranquil.

To be tagged as a guild, it meant that the members of the first kill didn't consist of members from outside the guild. However, Lord Grim had only recently left Blue Brook Guild and five days hadn't passed yet, so he couldn't join Tyrannical Ambition. Clearly, when the BOSS fell, he left the party and naturally wouldn't appear on the leaderboards, keeping Tyrannical Ambition pure.

Blue River despised this point because they all understood clearly that Lord Grim contributions to Tyrannical Ambition killing off the Goblin Merchant were very large. Blue River believed that that usage of OT to control the BOSS's move path was simply not possible for Tyrannical Ambition's own players to have come up. This was because if it wasn't possible for their Blue Brook Guild to have come up with such a plan, then without a doubt, the similar-leveled Tyrannical Ambition definitely wasn't capable either. They completely relied on Lord Grim's leading.

Blue River had already thoroughly believed that Lord Grim's strength was on a completely different level than theirs. He was a great expert that surpassed normal players like them. With such a strength, how could he be a nobody? Which expert created this low-level account? Blue River obviously couldn't put Lord Grim as a new player. This sort of valiant leading meant that he had to have incredible knowledge of the game. It wasn't possible for him to be a new player.

"Brother." Blue River opened up his friends list and calmly sent a message to Lord Grim: "How long do you think it'll take for you to reach Level 23?"

"Everyone cares so much about this issue!" Ye Xiu replied.

Blue River wasn't surprised. The reason everyone cared about this problem so much was simple. At Level 23, he could enter the Boneyard dungeon. Everyone was waiting for him to level up and then invite him to set a new record! Today, Tyrannical Ambition stole the Goblin Merchant and had gotten a taste of success. They must have also recognized this great expert's value.

"I don't know either. Keep playing and we'll see!" Ye Xiu replied.

"You have to ask us for the Boneyard dungeon!!!" Blue River said.

"Let's discuss this later!" Ye Xiu didn't answer it.

Blue River was desperate. He had already predicted that these great guilds would fight desperately for Lord Grim in order to break and maintain records in the tenth server. Because he had seen Lord Grim's calmness and intellect for himself, he was afraid that Lord Grim had become an expensive mercenary. He didn't have much confidence in controlling this situation!

Blue River kept thinking and temporarily logged out of the game. He inserted a different card logging in as the high-leveled Blue Bridge Spring Snow.

At this time, in the Heavenly Domain, all of the players were bustling about and actively using their renewed dungeon entries. But once Blue Bridge Spring Snow went online, he still attracted a lot of the guild's attention. This was one of the guild's Five Great Experts. Moreover, wasn't he supposed to be in the tenth server? Why did he suddenly run here?

The first one to send a message to Blue River was Blue Brook Guild's leader: Changing Spring.

The message was very simple, ? ? ? ? , four big question marks.

"Busy?" Blue River asked.

"Dungeon" meaning that he was currently in a dungeon.

"Let's talk after you're out." Blue River said.

"Urgent (?)"

"It's not urgent, but I need to talk with you."

"Wait"

Changing Spring's messages were always this concise. But this definitely wasn't because he had few words to say, he was simply too lazy to type it out. This guy's hand speed was extremely fierce. He was also obsessed over it. He intentionally did a few useless movements to increase his hand speed and also didn't want to waste movements on chatting.

His most famous moment was when someone raged at Changing Spring in the world channel. In the end, Changing Spring was clearly online but he never responded. For a great guild leader like him, this sort of action wasn't proper. Even if he was too lazy to argue with the guy, he was still the guild leader. Being raged on by someone on the world channel made the entire guild feel like they were losing their dignity! The guild members looked for him to respond, but Changing Spring said he had already responded. Everyone was depressed! Later, when they opened the world channel and looked carefully, they unexpectedly found it.

In the heap of messages in the world channel, Changing Spring responded with a total of three letters: GFY. (TL: GFY = Go F*ck Yourself)

The entire guild kneeled and bowed up and down in worship! From then on "GFY" became Blue Brook Guild's unsurpassed reply to other people's rage at them. They continued to use it to this day.

Blue River had gotten used to Old Spring's style. He didn't say anything else and waited.

After ten minutes passes, Changing Spring sent a message: "Where"

"Mount Brook City."

Mount Brook City was one of the big cities in the Heavenly Domain. Because the name had the word "Brook" in it, Blue Brook Guild stationed their guild there.

After a short while, Changing Spring hurried over. The two players met. Changing Spring didn't leave anything out: "Did something happen?"

"A great expert appeared in the tenth server." Blue River said.

"How good?" Changing Spring was amazed. Blue River had impatiently ran back to report to him just because of this expert?

"I can't tell how good he is." Blue River said.

"What class?"

"He still hasn't changed classes." Blue River said.

"Hasn't changed classes?"

"Yeah, he's learned skill from many different classes. It's as if he's playing unspecialized." Blue River said.

Changing Spring laughed: "If he's unspecialized, then of course his early levels are strong. His advantage in the number of skills he has is too prominent. But later on, without the damage from mid to high level skills, he won't be able to keep up. He also needs too many weapons. The heavy weight would impact his speed. Moreover, once he reached Level 50, there's no way to play anymore. Who still plays unspecialized?"

"I also thought this when I first saw him. But this guy's strength isn't here. I admit to the skills advantage in the early levels, but from this guy's playing speed to theorycrafting to leading to coordination, they're all extremely strong." Blue River said.

"To play unspecialized in this day and age, of course this guy has a comprehensive knowledge of the game. But……." Changing Spring said this and also felt that this sort of explanation was too far-fetched. Someone with just a comprehensive knowledge of the game wouldn't move Blue River like this.

"Currently, in the tenth server, he took three first kills in the beginner village. Because of his participation in the Frost Forest dungeon, our party set the new record. Because of his participation in the Goblin Merchant hunt, the first kill was grabbed by Tyrannical Ambition. The Blood Gunner first kill…… He brought a party of random players and stole it right from under the Three Great Guild's eyes." Blue River felt these accomplishments were already sufficient in convincing him.

"He's played with us? And also helped Tyrannical Ambition? And then stole the Blood Gunner away right from under the Three Great Guild's eyes? Which side is he from?" Changing Spring didn't understand.

"He's not from any side. I've tried to rope him in, but he's not interested. From what I can see, this guy wants to be hired like this. He'll raise the prices extremely high and then earn a fortune." Blue River said.

"This guy's…… a little strange. What's his name?"

"Lord Grim."

"Lord Grim? Is there an expert with such a name in this server?" Changing Spring was at a loss.

Chapter 80 – A Guild Leader's Troubles

"Never heard of it." Blue River accompanied Changing Spring and was at a loss too.

"If there really is such a person, then I'll come over some time and see for myself!" Changing Spring said.

"Okay. Wait until he's Level 23 and I'll make an appointment to set a new record in the Boneyard. You should come when the time comes." Blue River said.

"He's not Level 23 yet?" Changing Spring was surprised.

"Still 21……." Blue River was a little embarrassed on behalf of Lord Grim. No matter what was said, levels in a game would always be a type of symbol. As the tenth server's most popular expert, with levels as such an important indicator to normal people, this made people like Blue River, who was almost Level 25, speechless.

"This this this….. I definitely have to see him for myself if there's a chance." Changing Spring said.

"Then, I'll call you over next time." Blue River said.

"Okay." Changing Spring nodded his head. Although he didn't say it directly, he already understood Blue River's purpose for coming here. Blue River wanted to know what the true guild leader's decision on what to do with this expert, on whether or not to fight for him with everything they had.

After casually chatting for a bit, Changing Spring left. Blue River habitually admired his high-leveled account. Right when he was about to go offline and leave, he suddenly heard a voice he didn't like: "Oh, old Blue? Why did you come over?"

How unlucky! He had only come back for such a short amount of time and he unfortunately ran into this guy. Blue River sighed and turned around. He immediately saw Poplar Beach, this extravagant name, as well as that full body of extravagant equipment.

"Nothing much. I had a bit of business to do here." Blue River replied indifferently.

"If you have so much time, why don't we compare notes in the arena?" Poplar Beach was clearly concerned about the previous unfinished duel.

"No time. I still need to go back to the new server to dungeon." Blue River crisply rejected him.

"It won't take that long!" Poplar Beach seemed to like controlling his voice to sound luxurious. From this guy's name to his equipment, they were all extremely extravagant. Naturally, the actual meaning of his words was suggesting he could easily dispatch Blue River.

Blue River was a person who was worried about losing face, so he was immediately angered. His blood was boiling and he had the heart to immediately teach this guy a lesson, but then he suddenly heard a voice: "Blue Bridge, shouldn't you hurry up?"

Blue River turned around and he didn't know when, but Changing Spring had come back.

"I'm going." Blue River responded and didn't bother with Poplar Beach, immediately logging out.

Changing Spring had come back to get him out of trouble. Blue River clearly understood this.

As for Poplar Beach, many players in the guild knew about his pressuring. Although the current rumor was that the guild leader had sent Blue River over to pioneer in the tenth server in preparation to give Poplar Beach a position, Blue River clearly understood that one aspect of Changing Spring's action was because he didn't want to see this sort of struggle between him and Poplar Beach. This was because for this type of struggle, no matter who won, the loser would lose a lot of face and it was very possible that the loser would leave the guild. This would be like being forced to leave. It would definitely arouse many people's sympathies and would cause a lot of people to lose hope in the guild. The shock caused by this probably wouldn't be small. After all, Poplar Beach and Blue River represented the powers between Blue Brook Guild's new and old players.

As for the other aspect, Changing Springs covertly helped Blue River keep his position. At a glance, Blue River looked as if he had been kept away from the Heavenly Domain's core, but in the tenth server, Blue River was in charge. Who knew how many newly recruited experts he would find there. Once these players entered the Heavenly Domain, it'd be hard to say if those players would even put Changing Spring in their eyes, Poplar Beach even more so.

Sending him to the new server was letting Blue River develop his foundation. Banishment or whatever, that type of thinking was too naive.

Blue River clearly understood this because this was something Changing Spring had calmly explained to him. He had even told Blue River more directly that if Blue River PKed with Poplar Beach, he wasn't optimistic for Blue River. He believed that if the two fought for three rounds, then Blue River would only have a thirty percent chance of winning.

Blue River was helpless. He really wasn't confident in beating Poplar Beach. Now it seemed that Changing Spring saw this even more clearly.

Blue River, his heart like a mirror, saw Changing Spring suddenly turn back to help him out of the situation. In his heart, he was deeply moved by his attentiveness. As a result, he didn't bother arguing with Poplar Beach and directly went offline.

Thinking of this, in that moment he logged out, Blue River suddenly had a weird thought arise. He really wanted to see the terrified look on Poplar Beach's face when he was completely suppressed by Lord Grim.

This thought wasn't too good…… Blue River hit his head. No matter what happened, Poplar Beach was still a fellow guild member. Although they had some enmity towards each other, how could he let an outsider make him lose face?

But….. he really did look forward to it! Blue River discovered that he was trying to cheat his own heart. After letting out two long sighs, he put his Blue River account card in and returned to the tenth server.

Right when he went online, someone from his guild called him over to dungeon. Blue River saw that he was almost Level 25. His heart suddenly dropped; he had forgotten something!

Thinking, he immediately looked for Lord Grim on his friends list: "When do you want to clear Frost Forest with us again?"

Frost Forest's clear record wasn't at its limit. The several players online were about to hit Level 25. After switching their equipment with Level 25 ones, that was the moment when they could achieve Frost Forest's final record. However, even if they wore Level 25 equipment, if they wanted to copy Lord Grim's method of One Wave Rush, then although they could do everything else, pulling the monsters like Lord Grim wasn't possible for them. They all stealthily tried it before.

Blue River had been thinking of clearing the Boneyard when Lord Grim hit Level 23 and forgot that he hadn't completely settled Frost Forest's record.

"This……" Ye Xiu's reply was a bit hesitant.

"Did someone already make an appointment?" Blue River fainted.

"I've made an appointment already." Ye Xiu said helplessly.

"Is it Tyrannical Ambition again?" Blue River said gloomily.

"It is!"

"Brother, I asked for an appointment at the Boneyard, but you told me that you'll talk about it later! Why is that when they ask for one you agree?" Blue River's cheeks streamed with tears.

"The appointments you make are all things I can't do yet! I can do Frost Forest today night." Ye Xiu said.

Blue River was helpless. He decided to watch Lord Grim's level attentively. Right when Lord Grim reached Level 23, he would immediately make an appointment for Boneyard.

Frost Forest…… Blue River felt a little pained. They had just set the record not long ago and tonight, it would be broken without a doubt.

"Or maybe not?" Blue River suddenly thought. Although their levels would all be Level 25, their equipment might not keep pace with them so quickly. Only now did Blue River and the others have a full suit of Level 20 Purple equipment. That was also only because beginner village dungeons could be cleared without a limit. In the process of dungeoning until Level 20, they naturally found a lot of good equipment. But now? Although Level 25 equipment dropped in both Frost Forest and Boneyard, Purple equipment didn't have a high drop rate. It had only been two days, each dungeon had only been cleared four times, would they be able to completely arm a party?

He calculated this, but Blue River was still gloomy. Although there weren't as many Level 25 Purple weapons as Level 20 ones, there was still enough to arm a party. Their Blue Brook Guild could, so Tyrannical Ambition should be able to too! Sigh…….

Chapter 81 – A Blessing or a Curse

At this moment, Ye Xiu was waiting for Seven Fields and the others to dungeon together again. After making an appointment with Tyrannical Ambition for the Level 25 dungeon clear, they didn't invite Ye Xiu to train with them. Compared to Blue River, they didn't care about making any friendly relationships with Ye Xiu. They paid, he worked, it was that simple.

With regards to Ye Xiu not being put on the leaderboards after the successful Goblin Merchant first kill, Seven Fields and the others were extremely resentful. But Ye Xiu completely didn't care. Regarding these sort of glories that normals players were envious of, Ye Xiu couldn't care less. However, to normal players, this was an extremely significant glory. As a result, because he wasn't put on the first kill leaderboards, although Ye Xiu didn't care, he didn't need to show it. In the end, as expected, he exchanged his bargaining chip with Tyrannical Ambition for many more rewards.

Seven Fields and the others felt that this wasn't worth it at all, but for Ye Xiu, he thought of it as a cheap choice. Tyrannical Ambition was obviously very regretful, but there was no other choice! They valued glory even more than normal players. Their guild's name being put up on the leaderboards was extremely important to them, so they were willing to pay a high price for it.

From the Goblin Merchant's first kill, in the end, Ye Xiu received 20 White Wolf Bristles and 30 Spider Teeth from Tyrannical Ambition.

Spider Teeth came from the two hidden BOSSes, the Spider Elite and the Spider Warrior in the beginner village's Spider Cave dungeon.

These two hidden BOSSes all looked weird. The Spider Warrior held a spider-shaped Spider Shield. The Spider Elite directly used its eight legs for boxing. When these two hidden BOSses were killed, there was a chance for them to drop the Spider Teeth. Because dungeons could be cleared limitlessly in the beginner village, Tyrannical Ambition had quite a lot of these sort of materials. 30 Spider Teeth wasn't anything difficult for them.

As for White Wolf Bristles, those were dropped from Frost Forest's hidden BOSS White Wolf. In these few days since the server opened, Tyrannical Ambition didn't have many of these. Last time, Endless Night used 10 of them for nothing. This time, they couldn't pay the 20 in full. Luckily, everyone had their dungeon entries renewed, so after killing off the Goblin Merchant, Tyrannical Ambition hurriedly formed parties to run Frost Forest dungeon in order to pay off the debt. Inside, all of their cheeks streamed with tears. F*ck, exactly who was the one doing the labor? Why did it seem like they were the ones slaving away to pay the debt?

The guild leader Cold Night was even more worried. This Lord Grim really did need a lot of precious materials. As their levels rose, there would be more dungeons and more wild BOSSes. Was it possible that they needed him to help them every time they wanted to get a new record? This guy's appetite was huge. He was cunning too. He didn't want money, only hidden BOSS materials. Like this, there was no way they could keep buying him!

Even if they could, this situation was burdensome. Were all of the tenth server's leaderboards completely controlled by this single person? Especially the wild BOSS first kills and dungeon clear records. These two leaderboards embodied a guild's strength the most.

It seems like the tenth server's situation can no longer be controlled all because of the sudden appearance of this expert. Where did this guy come from? Cold Night didn't understand. He also went to his guild's headquarters to ask for advice.

Every side was like this and ran dungeons while carrying this worry. On that night, the tenth server's first string players all broke through to Level 25. They switched equipment and learned new skills. Their strength instantly leaped one level. Although Cold Night was worried, he had already made an appointment with Ye Xiu for the Frost Forest clear record.

"Hello hello, we're all Level 25, let's break the record!!" Endless Night was Tyrannical Ambition's contact person to Ye Xiu.

"Oh? Wait a bit. I'm still in a dungeon." Ye Xiu said.

"You haven't used up all of your dungeon entries, have you?" Endless Night started sweating.

"I still have one more." Ye Xiu said.

"Hurry hurry." Endless Night bounced up and down.

"Why the rush? We don't need a cleric for the clear record." Ye Xiu said.

"F*ck. Let me ask you what you need this time." Endless Night said.

"Ten White Wolf Bristles, two Mithril Pendants, one Ice Crystal Staff." Ye Xiu said.

"You….. you White Wolf Bristle maniac!" Endless Night cried. Their whole guild ran Frost Forest and with great difficulty, barely paid off the debt for their 20 White Wolf Bristles. And now he wanted another ten. Once Endless Night told the guild leader Cold Night about the White Wolf Bristles, Cold Night almost flipped the table: "Is he looking for trouble? He's intentionally looking for trouble, right? Why does he needs so many White Wolf Bristles? If he wants money, aren't all the materials the same? White Wolf Fangs! White Wolf Fur! White Witch's Tears! Ice Remnants!! Ask him if any of these can replace it!"

Endless Night immediately asked and in the end Ye Xiu said extremely magnanimously: "Okay, I'll first take these as mortgage. And then when you guys find enough White Wolf Bristles we can trade, how about it?"

"What do you want with all these White Wolf Bristles?" Endless Night looked and saw that this guy wanted these White Wolf Bristles no matter what. So it seemed like he didn't want these hidden materials for money and wanted them for an actual purpose.

"To make equipment." Ye Xiu said.

"Bullsh*t…….." Endless Night rolled his eyes. These hidden material's most important usage was for making equipment. If he asked what he was making with them, then he was obviously asking what equipment he was going to make. They were only level 20. It wasn't worth it to make such low-leveled equipment. So if he was going to make equipment, then it would obviously be the highest-leveled ones.

In the end, Ye Xiu didn't reply to Endless Night's question.

As a result, Endless Night didn't go and question him anymore. He temporarily put down the White Wolf Bristles matter. The Mithril Pendants were just toys; they had no value. But Ye Xiu's third request made their balls hurt.

Ice Crystal Staff was a Level 25 Orange Equipment. Tyrannical Ambition, from top to bottom, didn't have one. Orange equipment had an extremely low drop rate. They were extraordinarily valuable and weren't sold in the market. Even low-leveled equipment would sometimes be taken out by high-leveled players to show off because they truly were too difficult to find. Otherwise, how could Endless Night keep shaking his Orange Crystal Cross around. Orange equipment were for those with status.

"We really don't have an Ice Crystal Staff." Endless Night said.

"Then let's talk later when you find one!" Ye Xiu wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't in a hurry at all. Lord Grim was only Level 21 and there were still plenty of opportunities to set a new Frost Forest clear record. But Tyrannical Ambition was worried! Their first string players were Level 25. If they continued to power-level, they would reach Level 26. If they broke a record at that level, then it wouldn't count.

"Ask for something else. Can you ask to mortgage something?" Endless Night said.

"Your Crystal Cross?" Ye Xiu asked.

"F*CK!!!" Endless Night shouted.

Ye Xiu wasn't done talking: "Your Level 20 Orange weapon is still a little lacking. How about a few more hidden materials too?"

Endless Night didn't respond for a long time. He really had invited disaster onto himself. At this moment, he sent a request to Cold Night stating that he didn't want to be the contact person anymore.

"Whoever wants it can have it!" Endless Night hugged his Crystal Cross and made a clean getaway.

Cold Night was unable to make heads or tails of the situation. He could only add Lord Grim as a friend for himself and ask. Hearing the three words Ice Crystal Staff, he also almost coughed blood.

"We really don't have this." Cold Night cried. Was this expert's help a blessing or a curse?

Chapter 82 – A Swift Dungeon Record

The Ice Crystal Staff made Cold Night feel powerless, but it wasn't because he wasn't willing to give it up. Not matter how rare the item was. It was only a Level 25 equipment and nothing more. It was only a transition equipment and could only be used temporarily for that level stage. With regards to experienced players, they didn't really care. Thinking of this, Cold Night couldn't help but look down on Endless Night. It was only a Level 20 Orange equipment, that's all. This guy treated it as a treasure and wouldn't hand it over. He asked him for the reason and he answered that it was good-looking so he wanted to collect it.

"It's only going to be used for mortgage. It's not like you're not going to get it back!" Cold Night said to Endless Night.

"Don't trick me. Do you think it's as simple as we'll trade when we want to? Lord Grim clearly wants the Ice Crystal Staff. Do you know how many times we're going to have to kill the White Witch for this item to drop?" Endless Night said. It was exactly this Ice Crystal Staff that made Cold Night feel so powerless. To find an Orange equipment, you could only rely on luck to get it!

"If we don't have one, then we'll buy one. There's always a way." Cold Night said.

"Do you want to try it now?" Endless Night said.

"Take your Crystal Cross and try to sell it." Cold Night wasn't happy. Right now the game was still in the new server opening stage, as an experienced veteran, he only sold equipment and never bought one. Right now, low-leveled equipment could be sold for some money, especially to those noobs. But once everyone was high-leveled and into the Heavenly Domain, low-leveled equipment were like floating clouds. At that time, a Level 25 Purple weapon would be the same price as a single White Wolf Bristle. When Cold Night said to buy it, he meant to buy it at a cabbage price later when the price fell. Buying a Level 25 Orange weapon right now, was an outright nooby action, how could Endless Night not understand?

"Sell it, sell it!" Endless Night teared up. He knew that this outstanding weapon he had in the Level 20s wouldn't last forever. Endless Night could only gnash his teeth in rage at Lord Grim. Cold Night wasn't happy either. He had a type of willing-to-sacrifice-everything-he-had feeling. This sort of feeling made him feel terrible.

However, for the guild's activity in the new server, their reputation was number one! It was a worthy investment. In the end, these two players relied on this belief to maintain their faith. And they had no choice but to comply: this Lord Grim was too much of a veteran. Although the items he wanted were tricky, it was still within their limits. He didn't demand ridiculous fees like a lion.

But the problem was, like this, Cold Night was extremely worried about their Three Great Guilds fighting over this Lord Grim. This definitely wasn't something they could do for a long time. After making the deal with Lord Grim, Cold Night also logged out to ask the guild leader for help with his main account. It wasn't that he didn't want to participate in the Frost Forest clear record. It was that he was a f*cking Knight, Glory's main tank class. As a result, he was also ignored like Endless Night.

Their one Knight and one Cleric, these two Priest classes, were originally the tenth server Tyrannical Ambition's two core characters. Right now they had helplessly become miserable b*tiches. Seeing Lord Grim running over from outside Frost Forest, he immediately sent out four Level 25 DPSers from Tyrannical Ambition. While the strategy for the dungeon was being explained, Endless Night pinched his mouse resentfully. His clenched hands were drenched in sweat.

"This is the general idea. Does everyone understand?" After Ye Xiu finished explaining, he had confidence that with this sort of full DPS party, as long as they didn't make any mistakes, there shouldn't be any problem in setting a new record. He just didn't know exactly how much they would beat it by.

When the four DPS players heard this, they were all in a daze. They were just like Blue River and the others when they first heard about using One Wave Rush, they all felt it was inconceivable.

"If there's not problem, let's go!" Ye Xiu announced. He casually led Lord Grim into the dungeon.

The four DPSers all carried a bit of doubt in their hearts. But once they entered the dungeon, they didn't think anymore of it. They immediately rushed forward. They were going for a clear record. Every second counted.

At this moment, Lord Grim had already gone up to pull monsters. Compared to last time, the Thousand Chance Umbrella's Original, Gun, Sword, and Lance were all Level 15 now. Ye Xiu was more steady in pulling monsters with his increased damage. While he instructed them on when to attack his pulled monsters, he unleashed attacks on other monsters.

The four output damage very carefully, afraid to OT. However, they soon discovered that under this person's lead, OT, this sort of problem, didn't exist. Did this person understand their damage output better than them?

Pulling twenty or so monsters in a One Wave Rush made the four DPSers scared witless. But under Ye Xiu's step by step instructions, the four quickly took their position and like Blue Brook Guild, they went from doubt to shock to admiration to excitement.

After the first wave of monsters had been killed, everyone glanced at the time. They immediately determined that as long as they didn't make a mistake, the record would certainly be broken.

"Kill!" The four players were as energetic as a rainbow. They were even more excited than Ye Xiu. After all, this record was to be set by Tyrannical Ambition. Ye Xiu didn't care at all about this and continued to carry out his work.

Endless Night and the others were also running dungeons with other Tyrannical Ambition players. However, none of them were thinking about themselves: they were all thinking of that record-setting party.

From time to time, Endless Night looked at the time. In an instant, ten minutes had passed. Their team was also a Level 25 party, but seeing their current progress, it wasn't possible for them to break the record. Not knowing where that other party was at, Endless Night couldn't help but think about it. He was extremely curious, but he didn't want to ask, afraid that his message might mess up their concentration.

As for the other members, they chatted while killing monsters. Their main topic was on Lord Grim, this mysterious expert.

In a flash, five minutes passed. The record-setting party had already been in the dungeon for fifteen minutes. Endless Night became even more anxious. He couldn't help but open up the dungeon leaderboards and look. The current record was still that 20:24:11 record. Currently, their players' strength had increased substantially. After these 15 minutes, the record could be newly set at any time.

"Clear!!" Someone in their party suddenly yelled.

Endless Night, who was still looking at the previous record, quivered. He immediately looked towards the system announcement and was taken aback.

System Announcement: Congratulations to Herb Garden's players Plantago Seed, Giant Taro, Oriental Sweetgum, Rangoon Creeper, Malva Nut for breaking Frost Forest's clear record, time: 17:48:45.

"Herb Garden's players?" Those four were all astonished.

"Don't worry, it's not the end yet." Endless Night unexpectedly said calmly. At this moment, every big guild had reached the Level 25 realm. They could obviously begin using all their strength to clear the Frost Forest dungeon. With Herb Garden's level, it wasn't anything to fuss about. 17:48:45. This record could still be beaten by their party. Lord Grim's party had entered the dungeon for 15 minutes. They should also be done soon, right?

Endless Night's expectations weren't wrong. When Herb Garden's record had been broken, Ye Xiu's party didn't even blink. This was because they had already completely assessed what type of time they could set. 17:48? How sorry! Herb Garden's players could only be happy for a minute.

The four Tyrannical Ambition players excitedly thought this. On the other hand, Ye Xiu continued his steady damage output.

Suddenly, another System Announcement popped up.

System Announcement: Congratulations to Excellent Dynasty players: Gray Black, Sea Breeze, Inherit, Nowhere to Run, Purse for breaking the Frost Forest clear record, time:13:24:21.

The entire world was shocked!

Chapter 83 – Almost the Limit

13:24:21.

Perhaps to the majority of players, this was just another record on the leaderboards. But for Endless Night, Plantago Seed, Blue River, these sort of players from big guilds that were always thinking of these records on the leaderboard, only these players understood what this record signified.

13:24:21. This was only the tenth server's record. This record clearly broke the all-time record in all ten of Glory's servers.

This record didn't have any system rewards. At first, players recorded these records for themselves to compete for. Later, Glory officially ranked the records for each of their respective servers. Frost Forest's all-time record was only 14:31:58. Although Blue River and the others couldn't clearly remember this number, they knew that it wasn't below 14. But now, in the tenth server, Excellent Dynasty had actually broken this record by a minute.

In the end, Herb Garden's players couldn't even celebrate for one minute. Tyrannical Ambition's players couldn't celebrate either.

Ye Xiu's record-setting party had already passed the 15 minute mark. They obviously couldn't break this new record.

"F*CK!!" When this record popped up, the four DPSers were all astonished. No matter how hard they tried, their efforts were already futile. In the entire process, they were careful, careful, and more careful. Their palms were extremely sweaty but they didn't dare wipe it. They feared that they would delay the record by a second. But now? Just when they thought that they could break Herb Garden's record without any problems, this 13:24:21 record was like a bolt from the blue.

The four were already motionless, but the battle sounds were still resounding in their ears. The four players recovered and looked. Lord Grim was still fighting with the Frost Thain.

"Brother, did you see the system announcement?" One player couldn't help but say.

"I saw it." Ye Xiu replied.

"We're already too late." One player sighed.

"We should at least finish the dungeon, right?" Ye Xiu laughed.

"You're still laughing. Since it's like this, you won't be getting anything either." One player said, but he started to attack again.

"Yeah, I'm out of luck." Ye Xiu said.

"Excellent Dynasty……. d*mn, 13 minutes, isn't this already this highest record in all ten servers?" Among the players, an unsure player said.

"It is! There wasn't any record that broke 14 minutes before." Another player said.

"This……. We're way off then?" Another player said.

"Correct, we'll finish this dungeon in 16 minutes at best." Ye Xiu said.

"Sigh……" While they sighed, the Frost Thain was finally beaten. Their end record was 17:07:66. This did beat Herb Garden's previous record and could be considered as the tenth server's number two record. But a number two record, although it wasn't easy for small guilds, to Tyrannical Ambition, it didn't mean anything.

When Lord Grim and the four DPSers exited the dungeon, Endless Night and the others were still fighting in the dungeon. Cold Night hadn't returned from his report back to the old server. On the other hand, Herb Garden's players experienced the descent from heaven to hell. They had just been celebrating their new record, when a new record beat theirs by four minutes. It felt like they had been slapped in the face. This wasn't over yet though. In another moment, Lord Grim's party beat their record again. Herb Garden's efforts looked meaningless.

At this moment, Plantago Seed received a message from Blue River: "What a tragedy! A tragedy."

"F*ck, 13 minutes!! How the f*ck did they do that. Who's in Excellent Dynasty?" Plantago Seed didn't notice Blue River's taunt. Instead, he discussed with this expert how such a record was possible.

"Excellent Dynasty……" Blue River didn't reply to Plantago Seed's message. He only pondered over this guild name.

He wasn't unfamiliar with this guild. It was a level lower than the Three Great Guilds, but Excellent Dynasty was still a distinguished guild. And this was only its current form. In the past, it was once the most glorious guild. In that time, the Excellent Era Club swept the Professional Alliance, dominating the pro scene for three years.

Correct, Excellent Dynasty, the professional club that backed them was Ye Xiu's former team, the Excellent Era Club.

The Professional Alliance was the peak in Glory's community. Each and every move of a club could have a lasting impact on Glory. And the guild that was backed by the club even more so. When the club rose, the guild rose. When the club declined, the guild declined. Excellent Era's achievements in the recent years weren't good. In the game, their guild was immediately surpassed by Blue Brook Guild, Tyrannical Ambition, and Herb Garden. However, their foundations was deep. Although they were surpassed, they didn't decline too far.

Within the tenth server's tussle, the Three Great Guilds competed against each other and didn't put the other guilds in their eyes. Who knew that Excellent Dynasty would suddenly attack heavily. Before, they were hiding their true strength. None of the other leaderboards had their name on them. But at this moment, they amazed the world with a single brilliant event. In an instant, they took the Frost Forest clear record.

13:24:21!!

They not only broke the tenth server record, but they even beat the all-time Frost Forest record by a whole minute. Was Excellent Dynasty preparing to rise in power again?

Thinking of this, Blue River immediately thought of Excellent Era Club's most recent change. The old generation captain Ye Xiu retired and the new generation expert Sun Xiang took the Battle God One Autumn Leaf. They clearly intended to shuffle the cards and rebuild. Then was the Excellent Dynasty's sudden rise in the game related to the Club's movements? If it was like this, then relying on them to stop these players from setting new records was a little extreme. This record probably wasn't done by ordinary players like them.

"They're experts." Outside of Frost Forest's dungeon, Ye Xiu was talking to Endless Night, who had just finished his run, and Cold Night, who had just returned from his old server.

Cold Night was like Blue River and ran back to the old server to report his work. In the end, when he returned back to the tenth server he heard that something big had happened. 13:24:21. Cold Night was also astonished by this number. He hurriedly ran to outside the dungeon and happened to hear Ye Xiu's opinion.

"You don't say! We also guessed that they were experts." Endless Night said.

"They're not ordinary experts. This party should have at least three players who are at a pro level." Ye Xiu said.

Cold Night and Endless Night were dumbstruck. To them, pro-players were existences that they could only hope to reach. In the moment of their shock, they both forgot to think how Ye Xiu could determine this so clearly.

"This record is almost the limit for Frost Forest's clear record." Ye Xiu said.

"Almost?" Endless Night heard this keyword.

"So you're saying, this isn't the limit?" Cold Night said.

"How could the limit be so easy to reach?" Ye Xiu laughed.

"So you're saying?"

"Wait until I'm level 25 and then we'll see! You guys should also hurry!" Ye Xiu said.

"Hurry what?" The two were both startled.

"The items I want! You guys have time to gather them now!" Ye Xiu said.

"F*CK!" The two shouted together. Such a shocking event had just occurred and this guy was still thinking about those materials and equipment……

Chapter 84 – Manpower Needed

Ye Xiu's beautiful confidence made Cold Night and Endless Night feel skeptical, but they had a very serious issue facing them right now.

"Brother, how many more days do you need until you're Level 25? We can't stay at level 25 forever to wait for you!" Cold Night said. Lord Grim was now Level 21 and he wasn't madly leveling for 24 hours. It would take him three or four days to get to Level 25. Cold Night definitely couldn't waste these three or four days. Their elite members would definitely pass Level 25.

"The opposing party has three or more pro level players." Ye Xiu said.

After Cold Night and Endless Night heard this, they waited a bit for a follow up. But in the end, they only heard this statement without anything behind it.

Just when Cold Night was about to ask, Endless Night already jumped up and yelled: "F*CK, so you're saying our skill levels aren't good enough??"

Because Endless Night had been excluded several times from the elite party due to him being a Cleric, he had unfortunately raised a habit of self-doubt. At this moment, Endless Night had already understood what Lord Grim was implying.

"To break a normal record, then you guys are fine. But this record….. would only be possible if you had an Orange equipment party of Level 25s." Ye Xiu said.

An Orange equipment party in the new server was clearly a fantasy. Even in the old servers, to use up money just to make a Level 25 Orange equipment party only for the Frost Forest dungeon record was too much of a joke.

After all, this was only the lowest level dungeon. Wasting their blood and tears like this wasn't worth it.

Cold Night was worthy of being called a guild leader. Although his gift for self doubt wasn't as good as Endless Night, he already heard another implication : "Don't tell me we need to find pro-level players?" After saying this, Cold Night could only feel that this was inconceivable. This was only the tenth server's lowest level Frost Forest Dungeon and they actually needed pro players to confront it? That was too delusional!

In the end, Ye Xiu laughed: "It's only Frost Forest! Using pro-players would be too ridiculous. Actually, as long as you have players with a bit of hand speed then you can reach the limit too."

"A little hand speed and then the limit? Then pro-players would be even higher!" Endless Night said.

"Let me say it to you like this. First, disregard the strength of your accounts. At the new server's current level, each of the guild's five elites from equipment to skill are all around the same, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah….." Cold Night admitted. In this sort of five player party, their advantages over the other guilds were limited. After all, as long as their was a party of five elites then they could compete. The five player elite parties from lower grade guilds like Excellent Dynasty wouldn't be worse than theirs.

"So in the end, what most affects the clear record is your mechanical skill. Suppose a pro-player's skill level is a 10. But in such a low-level dungeon like Frost Forest, the max they could go to is a 5. A skill level 10 or a skill level 9 could only bring out a max of a skill level 5 in this dungeon. Do you understand now?"

Cold Night and Endless Night obviously understood this. This was like if their opponents had 100 life. A 1000 damage attack was the same as a 100 damage attack. Although the former was ten times greater than the latter, the end result was the same. The reason the 1000 damage attack couldn't be fully displayed was because of that meager 100 life.

"If you're talking about our mechanical skill, then Cold Night and I aren't bad." Endless NIght said.

"They aren't bad. You two are probably Tyrannical Ambition's most mechanically skilled players over here right? But you guys….. one's a Knight, one's a Cleric….." Ye Xiu said, "Can you play other classes?"

"What……if we could?" Endless Night asked carefully.

"If you say it like this, then I guess you can't." Ye Xiu said.

While Endless Night was depressed, Cold Night followed up: "I can play as an Elementalist….. But it's be a bit difficult with this account. The account I can borrow will definitely power level. It definitely won't stop at Level 25."

"If it's like this, then even if you ask an expert to come over and play for you guys, then this account problem won't be easy to resolve!"

"True!" Cold Night admitted. Over here in the new server, all of the Level 25 accounts were concentrated on power leveling. They couldn't just stop temporarily. As for the other level players, those newly recruited players in the new server, they had only just became familiar with them. How could they just ask to borrow their accounts? Even if someone was willing to, their account cards were real-life objects. Both sides would have to be in the same place.

"Player and account. I can help look around for those." Ye Xiu said.

Cold Night felt long ago that this guy's self-confidence was definitely one of his strong points. As a guild leader, he had already began to weigh the pros and cons of this situation. If this guy completely found his own party, then his price would definitely be higher. If it was just for a Frost Forest dungeon record, then Cold Night already felt that it wasn't too worth it. He firmly replied: "Our offer won't go any higher."

Unexpectedly, Lord Grim, who they had thought was extremely greedy, didn't actually have the intention of raising the price and laughed: "I don't need that. The price stays the same. But you guys will have to do a little extra."

"Extra?"

"Those five characters from Excellent Dynasty that cleared the record, give me info on their classes, equipment, everything. The more detailed the better." Ye Xiu said.

"This….. I can think of a way." Cold Night said.

"Also, I may need you guys to provide a few equipment." Ye Xiu said.

"Equipment?"

"The most important ones are the Level 25 Purple weapons. Of course, other equipment are welcome too. These will only be borrowed temporarily. When I'm done, I'll return them to you. If you guys need a mortgage from me, then I can do that." Ye Xiu laughed.

"What classes?"

"First find info on those five players from Excellent Dynasty. After that, I'll determine exactly how many pro-level players they had." Ye Xiu said.

"First tell me what classes. I'll begin preparing." Cold Night said.

"Then, one Battle Mage, one Brawler, and….. a Launcher, these first." Ye Xiu said.

"Battle Mage? You aren't going to look for Thousand Creations right?" Cold Night began sweating. Currently, in the tenth server, Blue Brook Guild's Thousand Creations was a Battle Mage with high mechanical skill.

"Obviously not. If it was him, would he need a Purple weapon?"

"That's true." Cold Night said, "Then who are you looking for?" He deserved to be called a guild leader! He was always sensitive towards talents.

"I still have to think about it!" Ye Xiu said.

Chapter 85 – Steamed Bun Invasion

Cold Night was extremely perplexed. This tenth server really was cursed. In an instant, so many experts popped out? This wasn't Glory's style!

In ordinary games, a single server was a single world. In old servers, unhappy players would often restart when a new server opened. Like this, maybe they could become the king or tyrant of the new server and stir up troubles. But in Glory? All of the experts ended up gathering in the Heavenly Domain. No matter how rampant you were in the first, second, third, fourth server, etc. if you didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Domain, then you were just a joke.

As a result, in Glory, veterans that wanted to abandon their old accounts and start anew didn't have to switch to a new server. In the old server, a veteran could use their old account's money to buy items and their strength to level faster; how great was that?

As a result, of those veterans that came to the new server to pioneer, the overwhelming majority of them were like Cold Night and the others, who came to run their guild. But now, they met Lord Grim, an unprecedented expert. And this player claimed that he could find players with mechanical skill higher than him and Endless Night, that level of players.

Although he and Endless Night were way inferior compared to pro players, among the player masses, they were still considered extremely skilled. They were the elite of Tyrannical Ambition's elite. They were comparable to Blue Brook Guild's Five Great Experts, that sort of level. However, this Lord Grim seemed as if he could just casually find a few better than them. This made Cold Night extremely perplexed. With regards to such a confident character, how could he not be curious.

"You guys go level up! No one's going to try and beat this record anyways. Wait until I level up and then I'll help you clear it." Ye Xiu said.

"Then….. let's contact each other later." Cold Night patiently said. No matter who Lord Grim found, he would eventually find out in the end.

Cold Night and Endless Night carried their doubts and left. Their entries for Frost Forest had all been used up. They could still do Boneyard though. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was only Level 21 and couldn't enter Boneyard. Right now; he could only complete quests and clear monsters to level.

While he went to a place to level, Ye Xiu opened up his friends list and yelled out to "Steamed Bun Invasion".

Although this Steamed Bun Invasion was a noob at Glory, after hunting the Blood Gunner and dungeoning with him a few times, Ye Xiu found that his hand speed was quite quick.

His situation was a bit similar to Tang Rou's. He wasn't familiar with Glory, but he had the hand speed for it. In comparison, although Steamed Bun Invasion's hand speed wasn't as fast as Tang Rou's, his coordination was better. Seeing how crazily enthusiastic he was towards Glory, this hand speed was most likely practiced through playing games.

At this moment, Steamed Bun Invasion was still in the Frost Forest dungeon with Seven Fields and the others. Ye Xiu had done his last run with Tyrannical Ambition's players. Seven Fields and the others randomly added another person for their last run. In such an ordinary party, with their ordinary characters, ordinary equipment, and ordinary coordination, their dungeon clearing speed really was too ordinary. They almost needed thirty minutes to clear it.

Steamed Bun Invasion had a high hand speed, that wasn't wrong, but the fact that he was still a Glory noob couldn't be ignored. As a result, his display of strength was greatly related to the leader's leading skills. With outstanding leading to replace his own thinking, instructing him on his position and damage, only then would his full strength be displayed. Right now, their party's leader was Seven Fields. He was only an experienced player and couldn't even be considered an expert.

"Ah, God, we're still in a dungeon. Is there anything you need?" Steamed Bun Invasion replied quickly. While in a dungeon, while fighting monsters, he could swiftly reply back. This was one indicator of hand speed.

"I'm done. In a bit, I'll come look for you for some business." Ye Xiu replied.

"It looked like…….your name wasn't on TV?" Steamed Bun Invasion said.

"Yeah, I failed." Ye Xiu said.

"Ah, what a pity!"

"First finish your dungeon. Let's talk later."

"Okay."

Ye Xiu had chatted with Cold Night for a long time after exiting the dungeon, so Seven Fields and the others should almost be done with their dungeon too. In a short while, five players exited the dungeon, depressed and dejected. Without brother expert overseeing them, Seven Fields and the others were extremely unsatisfied with their efficiency, but were also helpless to improve their situation. Even though they saw how brother expert led them, there was no way that they could copy him. This situation was similar to how the Three Great Guilds couldn't copy Ye Xiu's One Wave Rush.

Blue River and the others obviously understood how to use One Wave Rush to fight. However, they also had no way to copy it because they had no way to achieve the skill level needed to be the core player.

"Brother expert……" That random player from Seven Field's party immediately left while the remaining four greeted Ye Xiu. They had also heard of his failure to set a new record. When they were still in the dungeon, they checked the record leaderboards. They saw Lord Grim's name in the second place party. The difference in time between theirs and the first place party's wasn't small. Seven Fields and the others guessed that brother expert wouldn't be feeling too good, so they only greeted and didn't say anything else.

"Right now, the situation for the Frost Forest record has changed. In order to break the record, then I need a party with some skill." Ye Xiu said.

"Definitely not us!" Seven Fields started sweating. He clearly knew about his own skill. Their skill wasn't even comparable to the elites of the big guilds.

"What do you think of Steamed Bun's skill level?" Ye Xiu said.

"Steamed Bun?" Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water each sent an appalled emoticon. Finally, they said: "Steamed Bun doesn't really know how to play?"

Steamed Bun Invasion copied them and sent each of them an appalled emoticon.

"Yeah, he doesn't really know how to play. But Steamed Bun's hand speed is very quick." Ye Xiu said.

"Really?" Seven Fields and the others doubted. They hadn't noticed it.

"Yeah, this is true. My hands are very quick. How did God know?" Steamed Bun Invasion was amazed.

"I could see it." Ye Xiu laughed. Actually, because of Steamed Bun Invasion's unfamiliarity with the game, it wasn't easy for him to display his hand speed. But who was Ye Xiu? He was textbook-level player who couldn't be more familiar with Glory. Relying on a few particular actions, he could determine a player's reaction speed and hand speed. The things he could see weren't things ordinary people could see.

"My hand speed is pretty good, but……"

"You feel like you can't put it to use!"

"Right, right!" Steamed Bun Invasion immediately followed.

"Come with me tonight to clear monsters. Let me teach you." Ye Xiu said.

"Okay okay!" Steamed Bun Invasion said happily.

"Brother expert, teach us too!" Seven Fields and the others blurted out.

"Do you guys still need me to teach you? You guys only need to improve your hand speed." Ye Xiu said.

Seven Fields and the other's cheeks streamed with tears: "We've been practicing the entire time!"

"I can't avoid saying it. Sometimes, there's something called natural talent that makes strange things happen." Ye Xiu said.

Seven Fields and the others cried: "Brother expert, we know already know you're very tactful, but why does it seem like you're being so direct!"

"We can go together then! Those without talent can only rely on hard work. It's just that most people haven't put in the effort that's all." Ye Xiu said.

Chapter 86 – Teaching the Noob

Ye Xiu led Seven Field's group to Boneyard. Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water were like Lord Grim, and were Level 21. With regards to the Level 23-26 Boneyard and its higher leveled monsters, they weren't very confident.

Steamed Bun Invasion was Level 23. The Boneyard had monsters at the same level as him, so he was already eager to try them out.

Steamed Bun Invasion was obviously going to be coached by Ye Xiu. Although it couldn't be said that Seven Fields and the others couldn't improve, in such a desperate situation, only Steamed Bun Invasion could be counted on. After dispatching Seven Fields and the others to train, Ye Xiu began teaching Steamed Bun Invasion one on one.

First, he had to explain to this guy his Brawler class.

The Brawler class had mixed strengths. But in this Level 25 stage, it didn't possess any AoE skills.

A Level 1 Brawler could learn the same skill as every other class. A knock-up skill called "Uppercut".

At Level 5, it could learn the skill "Slap". A Slap would sharply and clearly move others. It was the only aggro-related skill before the class change.

The Level 10 skill Knee Attack struck the target with the user's knee. However, it could only be considered a half-grab skill because it didn't have a knock-down effect.

Afterwards, the Level 15 skill Strangle could not be used behind the target. After locking onto the target's throat, Strangle, like the Knee Attack, didn't have a knock-down effect. At Level 20, after changing classes, the Brawler could learn the skill "Brick Buster". However, hitting the back of the head to trigger the effect was a bit difficult. The mouse movement had to be quick and accurate.

After that, there was the Level 20 skill: Sand Toss. Ye Xiu had already instructed Steamed Bun Invasion on this move.

Brawlers could learn the skill "Apply Poison" at Level 25. It would apply poison to the user's weapon. Afterwards, attacks could poison the target. However, this poison didn't last. It was a one time additional damage that ignored defense. Currently, the Level 23 Steamed Bun Invasion couldn't learn it, so Ye Xiu didn't talk about it. Steamed Bun Invasion had already learned about different methods on how to use the above skills with normal attacks from his own experience. So Ye Xiu first instructed him on the hidden effects of all of these skills.

For example, how "Slap" could hit twice.

When "Knee Attack" was used as a back attack, it could knock back the target.

When "Strangle" was used, the opponent would have his or her defense reduced by half.

None of these things were written in the skill tooltip and could be considered hidden effects. While Steamed Bun Invasion was engrossed in the game, he didn't check any guides, so he didn't know.

"If you don't understand anything, why'd you pick this class?" Ye Xiu asked him. In the end, the guy told him that he just randomly learned skills when he was still unspecialized. And later, he felt that the Brawler's Slap, Knee Attack, and Strangle were all commonly used attacks when he fought in the streets. So he immediately felt that this class was very moving. When he was moved to the extreme, he changed classes in satisfaction.

This answer made Ye Xiu sweat a little, but he had already changed classes so there was nothing he could do. After instructing him hand to hand, Steamed Bun Invasion, who already possessed high hand speed, improved at lightning speed, playing extremely well.

Ye Xiu was now only worried about one problem: with this guy's passion for gaming and the fact that he was already two levels higher than him, this guy won't reach Level 26 before he gets to Level 25 right?

This problem was extremely serious. Ye Xiu felt that he had to talk about it with Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Steamed Bun? How long has it been since you last slept?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Huh? I'm not tired." Steamed Bun Invasion was happily clearing and Slapping monsters.

"You should probably rest! I found a few guides for you. They all talk about Brawlers. You can take a look at them." Ye Xiu said.

"Oh oh, I'll look at them when I eat." Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Even if you keep leveling like this, you're not going to be able to catch up to the big guild's players. Those all have several people playing on one account, so they level every day without resting." Ye Xiu said.

Steamed Bun Invasion showed his disdain: "That's stupid."

"More people, more strength! So don't try to compete with them by yourself. Relax and slowly level. The most important thing is that if you level so quickly, you'll be Level 26 in a flash. How am I supposed to look for you so we can set a dungeon record together?" Ye Xiu finally said his main point.

"Why not?" Steamed Bun Invasion really was too much of a noob. He didn't even know how dungeon records worked.

Ye Xiu could only explain it to him. Afterwards, Steamed Bun Invasion couldn't help but fall into confusion. He wanted to quickly level, but also wanted to set a new record and go up on TV…….

Seven Fields and the others were summoned by Ye Xiu to be lobbyists for him and persuade Steamed Bun Invasion.

These three also did their utmost to explain to Steamed Bun Invasion that in Glory, levels were like floating clouds. Going up on TV, going up on the leaderboards were the most majestic goals in Glory.

The pile of players bombarded him one after another. Finally, Steamed Bun Invasion reluctantly accepted: "Okay then. Then I'll try to slow down. God, how many days do you need to level?"

"I'll be quick." Ye Xiu said, "Oh right, don't join a guild in these few days."

"Okay."

Finally, he settled the matter with Steamed Bun Invasion. Ye Xiu let out a sigh. Dealing with this noob wasn't easy. No matter how you said it, he wouldn't listen to you, being a noob was also a type of strength.

Steamed Bun Invasion, who had a difficult time accepting that he had to level slower, couldn't kill too many monsters. If he didn't, he'd be bored. Killing too quickly wasn't good, but killing too slowly was boring. For a moment, he didn't what he should do, so he simply logged out of the game and looked at the guides Ye Xiu gathered for him.

Ye Xiu looked. And at long last, this guy stopped leveling. However, he himself had to hurry up. As a result, he partied with Seven Fields and the others and madly cleared monsters as if they were in a dungeon.

They cleared so madly that the three players started feeling a little nauseous towards the Boneyard. Ye Xiu was still full of energy though. The other three couldn't help but sigh with sorrow: "He really deserves to be called brother expert."

They trained in the Boneyard until the day came. The four players had all leveled to Level 22. Although Seven Fields and the others wanted to vomit, brother expert's leading made leveling more efficient making the three of them a little reluctant to leave. However, on Ye Xiu's side, it was time for him to change shifts, so he couldn't continue playing at the reception desk.

After hurriedly handing over the shift, he quickly rushed over to the smoking area to continue playing.

Chen Guo woke up from her sleep. She looked out from the window and saw the nice weather.

Stretching, she climbed out of her bed. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and wanted to go to the bathroom. When she reached her bedroom door, she suddenly remembered that there was still a male living in these rooms. She couldn't casually expose her body like she did before when it was just her and Tang Rou.

Thinking of this, Chen Guo quickly fixed her pajamas. Whatever needed to be tied was tied. Whatever needed to be buttoned was buttoned. Only then did she leave the bedroom.

After leaving the room, she looked to the side. Tang Rou's room was completely open.

Too careless! There's a male living here too! If you didn't close your door when you slept, who knew what a male's lust could do. While thinking of this, Chen Guo did an experiment. She tested whether she could see Tang Rou's bed from the door crack. In the end, she saw the bed, but she didn't see anyone in it. Chen Guo stared blankly. She pushed opened the door. Tang Rou's bed hadn't been touched.

She hadn't slept all night!

Chen Guo was astonished. She immediately went towards Ye Xiu's storage room. The door was also wide open. After a bit of hesitation, she decided to run in and look.

No one here either!

These two were lunatics!! Chen Guo foolishly looked towards the two empty rooms on her left and right.

Chapter 87 – I Feel Like None of You Slept

Chen Guo quickly tidied everything up and then appeared in the Internet Cafe like the wind. While the employees all greeted her with "Morning Boss", her gaze fell on Tang Rou in the non-smoking area. Her expression was the same as when Chen Guo went to sleep: concentrated without the slightest hint of tiredness. She ran to the smoking area and her gaze fell onto another person. Ye Xiu was over here smoking, taking in clouds and puffing out fog. In that cloud of smoke, the rough outline of his figure could be seen playing the game.

Early in the morning! This was the time of day when the Internet Cafe was the most empty. There were even fewer guests now than when the guests were pulling all-nighters. The sounds of these two playing crisply echoed throughout the Internet Cafe. You once, me once, pa pa pa pa.

Chen Guo ignored Ye Xiu and first went over to Tang Rou.

"Still playing. You're asking to die." Chen Guo closed in while speaking.

No response. Tang Rou was wearing her headphones, which only allowed her to hear the game noises. The Chen Guo next to her simply wasn't with her in the same world.

Chen Guo could only step forward and take off her headphones. Only then did Tang Rou respond.

"You got up so early!" Tang Rou turned her head to look at Chen Guo for half a second and then turned back to the game, pa pa pa pa.

"You've gone mad from playing." Chen Guo was helpless. She was starting to feel a little skeptical on whether pulling Tang Rou into Glory was the right thing to do.

"Ha ha." Tang Rou laughed, but didn't say anything.

"What level?" Chen Guo went up to look.

"Level 16. I'm still off from Ye Xiu's Lord Grim by 5 levels." Tang Rou said this and opened up her friends list. After seeing Lord Grim's name, she cried out in surprise: "Woah, he leveled up again. He's Level 22 now."

"So competitive! Finish this dungeon and then go to sleep. Once you're done resting, you can go back and play." Chen Guo saw that Tang Rou's Soft Mist was in the beginner village's Skeleton Graveyard fighting in close quarters. She was soloing it too. Who would believe that this was a Glory noob?

"What sleep? It's almost time for me to go to work." Tang Rou said.

Chen Guo was startled. That was true. Today, Tang Rou had the morning work shift. Normally, she would already be sitting at the reception desk.

"I'll go once I'm out of this dungeon!" Tang Rou smiled at Chen Guo. No matter how good their relationship was, in the end there was still a boss-to-employee relationship. Tang Rou also had work to do in the Internet Cafe. She wasn't eating for free or living here for free, only playing here for free.

"First rest a bit! I'll ask someone to switch with you." Chen Guo said.

"No need, no need." Tang Rou chatted with Chen Guo while her hands never stopped moving. This night, through the guides and the game, Tang Rou had learned how to use the Battle Mage's low-level skills. Tang Rou had improved a lot and was already different from before, not completely relying on reaction speed and hand speed to play.

"Okay!" Under Chen Guo's watch, Tang Rou's Soft Mist soloed the Spider Cave's final BOSS. After logging out of the game and shutting off the computer, she immediately headed towards the reception desk. Chen Guo silently followed her and then when she reached the reception desk, Tang Rou had already logged back into the game.

"We should at least eat something, right?" Chen Guo said.

"You haven't eaten either? Thanks!" Tang Rou laughed as if she had won a favor.

"I don't know what to say!" Chen Guo forced a smile. She went out to buy breakfast and then returned to give Tang Rou a portion. She even brought a portion for Ye Xiu.

"Ah! Boss, you're too kind." Ye Xiu took the breakfast and said, "I didn't help put a blanket over you yesterday night. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Both of you are mad!" Chen Guo thought of the rooms that clearly had three people living in them. But when she woke up, she found that she was the only one there.

"Oh? Little Tang didn't sleep either?" Ye Xiu said and opened up his friends list to check. Sure enough, Soft Mist was still online.

"You didn't know?" Chen Guo stared blankly. Don't tell me these two didn't say anything to each other over the entire night? Tang Rou was chasing after this guy's level, but this guy actually didn't know at all.

"I didn't notice. Perfect. I still have something I need to talk with her about!" Ye Xiu took his breakfast and ran to look for Tang Rou.

At this moment, Tang Rou was eating her breakfast while looking at a Battle Mage guide. Seeing Ye Xiu come over, she immediately swallowed the food in her mouth. After wiping her mouth, she nodded her head and said hello.

"What level are you?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Level 16."

"How quick! Hurry up and get to Level 25. There'll be something fun to do." Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?" What thing?' Tang Rou asked.

"Have you seen the Frost Forest clear record?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I saw it. It looks like your record was broken!" Tang Rou said. She followed the records pretty closely because she had originally wanted to surpass Ye Xiu. But in the end, she didn't think that someone had already beaten that night. One of them was even Ye Xiu's own party. Tang Rou saw Lord Grim's name on the second place party. It was a much better time than his original one too.

"It didn't only beat my record. It's the highest clear record in all ten of Glory's servers." Ye Xiu said.

"You want to take it back?" Tang Rou said.

"Yup. Fun, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"If you take it back and then I beat yours, that'd be even more fun." Tang Rou said.

"When were we enemies!" Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It looked like this sister really did want to beat him.

"Ha ha." Tang Rou laughed.

"When you get to Level 20, try out the dungeon for yourself first! It looks to me like you're looking down on this record too much." Ye Xiu said.

"I was just kidding. The highest record in all ten of Glory's servers must be amazing." Tang Rou said.

"Oh, then hurry up and level then!" Ye Xiu let out a sigh. He was worried that this girl might be a bit too conceited.

"Okay." Tang Rou nodded her head.

"Are you sleeping tonight?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I……"

"Hey! You two are going too far!!!" Chen Guo suddenly jumped out to interrupt them. After hearing this, it looked like these two weren't going to sleep. Did they need to play so crazily?

"Relax boss. It won't interfere with work." Ye Xiu said.

"No good. The Internet Cafe's computers are all mine. I won't let you play on them." Chen Guo said unreasonably.

Ye Xiu let out a sigh. He knocked on the reception desk: "Little Tang, open up a membership card for me."

Tang Rou was startled, but then immediately went to do it while mumbling to herself: "Then I'll open up one too!"

Chen Guo fell apart. She really was going to die from anger! The more irritating part was that Tang Rou was also going to follow what he said blindly. She's ruined, ruined! She's only played Glory for a day and she's already ruined.

"I won't care about you guys then." Chen Guo ran off in anger.

"Cough, hurry up and level." Ye Xiu didn't mention the membership card and told Tang Rou to take care. He went back to the smoking area to continue struggling.

Tang Rou's morning shift went from 7 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon. Business in the morning was relatively slow, so she wasn't very busy and could still play. In the afternoon, guests gradually began to flow in. The reception desk was a bit too busy for her. She could only play the game on and off, but she still continued to persevere.

However, Ye Xiu stopped when it was noon. He ran over to check on Tang Rou and saw that she was still playing even under such busy conditions. It really wasn't easy.

"You're really not going to sleep?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I have the morning shift. I don't get off until 3." Tang Rou said.

"Okay." Ye Xiu replied, "You still have to pay attention to your sleep. Physical strength greatly influences your ability to play, too."

Chapter 88 – Glory League

Between Ye Xiu and Tang Rou, one of them went to sleep after lunch, while the other went to sleep after the three o'clock shift. When dinner arrived, neither of them were there. Chen Guo angrily annihilated her dinner with the other employees. She originally didn't want to leave either of them food, but after eating midway, she gave into her soft-heartedness and in the end, she left the two of them food.

At 8 o'clock at night, Ye Xiu, with 8 hours of sleep, woke up like a machine. After smoking a cigarette, he went to rinse his mouth and wash his face. He then left the room and headed downstairs.

The Internet Cafe downstairs was pitch black again. It was the same as when Ye Qiu's retirement was announced. Ye Xiu was startled. Then, he thought of Happy Internet Cafe's practice of broadcasting the Glory Profession Alliance Championship. He calculated the date. Today was the day of Glory's 20th match.

He looked at the first floor's lounge and just as expected, the projection curtain from last time had already been opened. At this moment, the e-sports channel was already being streamed onto it. The match hadn't yet started, but many people had already scrambled for a good position. While they played on the computer in front of them, they waited for the match to start.

Ye Xiu walked up to the reception desk and asked the little sister there: "Which match?"

Clearly, the little sister at the reception desk didn't care too much about Glory. As before, she was still watching her K-Dramas. However, as part of an Internet Cafe, she knew what should be known: "Excellent Era's!"

Ye Xiu nodded his head. He understood very well.

The Glory Professional Alliance had a total of 20 Clubs. The 20 teams fought each other one on one. The ten matches were held at the same time. The TV channel was limited in how much it could show at once, so they usually only broadcasted the most important match. But as an e-sport, the true broadcasts were on the Internet. On the Internet, all 10 matches were streamed at the same time. The spectators could freely choose which match they wanted to see.

Happy Internet Cafe and Club Excellent Era were in the same city, so most of the people here naturally supported their home town's team. Happy Internet Cafe mainly broadcasted Excellent Era's matches.

Now that Ye Qiu retired, although the supporters were sad, their support for their Club didn't change. The newly introduced expert, Sun Xiang, made them feel even more expectant. They hoped that Excellent Era could rise from their slump in the previous season. Currently, as the second to last placed team, they were still quite far from getting a playoff spot. But the season was just a bit over halfway through, so everyone still had hope that some miracle would happen.

The matches all started at 8:30 PM. There were still 10 minutes until they started. After Chen Guo attended to all of the guests, she came over and saw Ye Xiu at the reception desk.

"Boss." Ye Xiu immediately said hello.

"I left you some food." Chen Guo said.

"Thanks." Ye Xiu went to go get food to eat.

"Broadcasting Excellent Era's match?" Ye Xiu chatted with Chen Guo while eating food.

"Yeah." Chen Guo nodded her head.

"Who are they against?" Ye Xiu asked.

"301." Chen Guo said.

"Oh." Ye Xiu nodded his head. With regards to the pro teams, he obviously knew more about them than Chen Guo. 301 was the short form for Team 301 Degrees, a part of Club 301 Degrees. They were an old team in Glory. They kept their rankings in the middle with a steady performance. Although the team didn't have a powerful account like the Battle God One Autumn Leaf, the six main accounts had equal strength. Among the six characters that the team captain Yang Cong controlled, the Assassin Scene Killer possessed Silver Dual Swords: Chaotic Winding Shadow Swords. He played shrewdly and ruthlessly, a troublesome opponent.

In the league's first half, Excellent Era had been bullied around by everyone. But now that a new expert had come, they clearly showed their intent to rise again. It was Sun Xiang's first match since he joined the team, yet the TV channels all chose to broadcast this.

8:30. The matches began on time. Ye Xiu had already madly annihilated his dinner. The atmosphere in the Internet Cafe began to heat up. Everyone boldly discussed their opinions on the upcoming match and arrogantly commented on their predictions. Ye Xiu looked to Chen Guo, who was also extremely excited. She was worthy of being called one of Glory's most devoted fans.

The twentieth match of the Season 8 Glory Professional Alliance Championship, 301 Degrees vs Excellent Era!

A title appeared on the broadcast. The commentator spurred the mood by shouting as if he were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, while introducing today's honored guest: Li Yibo.

So it's Li Yibo….. Ye Xiu didn't need any introduction. There were very few people he didn't know among the pros. Li Yibo was a former pro-player, but he retired four years ago. His skill level in the professional circle was also considered top-tier and he was very good at networking. When he was a pro-player, he established a good relationship with the media. After retiring, he immediately became an honored guest among the professional commentators. He had already been doing this for four years.

At this moment, immaculately dressed, Li Yibo was chatting leisurely in front of the camera and commentated on the two teams. The recent change in Excellent Era was obviously the focus point. And talking about Ye Qiu's commemoration obviously couldn't be avoided. With a solemn expression, Li Yibo recalled a story between Ye Qiu and himself back in the days. Hearing this, Ye Xiu was dumbstruck: "You f*cker, you and I only said a total of ten words to each other. Make it up! Keep on making it up!"

Calm and composed, Li Yibo made up the entire story. With just a look, it was obviously a script he prepared beforehand. Soon after, he randomly chatted with the commentator for a bit and then the match officially began.

301 Degrees vs Excellent Era. Individual Match: Round 1. Player Introduction.

301 Degrees, Player: Gao Jie. Character: Stellar Sword.

The Internet Cafe was filled with hissing sounds. There were even curses thrown in there. With regards to the loyal fans, any opponent was an enemy. A complete beatdown would be immensely satisfying.

Next up Excellent Era, Player: Su Mucheng. Character: Dancing Rain.

"OH OH OH OH, SU MUCHENG!!!!!"

Ye Xiu still hadn't figured out what had happened when a tsunami of whistles and shouts almost made him fall off his chair. Especially the nearby Chen Guo's screeching, they carved into his bones and engraved itself into his heart.

"What intense reactions, ha……." Ye Xiu laughed. He had never doubted Su Mucheng's popularity, but this scene made him jump in fright.

"Of course!! She's the number one female expert!" Chen Guo proudly said. This was her number one idol.

"Number one female expert? Who said that?" Ye Xiu said baffled.

"That's what everyone says." Chen Guo said.

"That's just hype!" Ye Xiu said.

"If not her, then who else?" Chen Guo asked.

"If you're talking about skill level, then the strongest female expert should be Chu Yunxiu." Ye Xiu said.

"Team Misty Rain's Chu Yunxiu?" Chen Guo asked.

"Yup."

Chen Guo thought for a moment. In the end, the match started and her thoughts immediately flew there. Another "OH OH OH, SU MUCHENG" was shouted, giving her idol a cheer as if she believed that Su Mucheng could hear her.

This is a fangirl!!!! Ye Xiu exclaimed in surprise. If he called Su Mucheng over to the Internet Cafe to play a round, would this boss be so excited that she'd burn down the Internet Cafe in order to celebrate?

Chapter 89 – Home Advantage

In the middle of everyone's cheers, the match officially started.

In the pro scene, an overwhelming victor was extremely rare. It was impossible to show off such ridiculous gaps in strength such as between an experienced veteran and a noob. A few powerful, dominating players and their god-level characters could create a certain amount of suppression to ordinary pro players and their characters, but Su Mucheng and her Dancing Rain weren't at this level.

However, in comparison, Gao Jie and his Stellar Sword were a bit inferior. But this sort of strength shown on paper wasn't enough to say whether he would win or lose. In this one on one match, it wouldn't be a surprise if either of them won. Their performance on stage could either increase or make up for the gap between their strengths on paper.

When all was said and done, in the end, this was a player-oriented competition. God-level characters also needed a player to utilize its strength. No matter how tyrannical a player was, there would always be a time when the player would go into a slump and lose. What's more, it was currently a period of rising stars. The title of unequalled had already been sealed long ago.

"Beauty Su, I'll be starting now!" A message from the Stellar Sword jumped out in the chat box next to the match scene.

That's right, in the Glory competitions, although the two opponents couldn't use their voice to communicate, they could type out words to send out a message. In the playing field, there was only this single public chat channel. The messages sent here wouldn't be blocked and would be directly broadcasted for everyone to see.

Truthfully, in some matches, the trash talk between the two players were even more memorable than the actual battle. In the pro scene, there was no lack of players who were experts at trash talking to irritate their opponents. After the message was sent out, the opponent would definitely see it. There was no way to block or close the chat box.

Of course, whether a player wanted to use this sort of method all relied on the player's preferences. In all of these years, all kinds of players with different styles appeared.

There were players that would talk whenever there was a chance to.

There were players that would seize any opportunity to calmly insult their opponents.

There were players that wouldn't say anything from start to finish.

There were even a few dirty players that would fill the screen insulting their opponent's genitals…..

And ultimately, that sort of dirty talk wasn't blocked either. However, those players would be penalized by the Alliance. Moreover, with so many people watching, dirty and violent words would obviously damage the player's image. As a result, most of these happened when they made a mistake and accidentally said them. Specialists in talking dirty hadn't appeared in a long time.

Gao Jie's opening remark implicitly made fun of her being a girl. Happy Internet Cafe's numerous fans immediately went into an outrage and roared at him. However, Su Mucheng only typed out a smiley face and said "Okay!"

Gao Jie had no other verbal attacks other than his opening remark, so he immediately took out his sword and began to attack. Stellar Sword was a Blade Master. Su Mucheng was a Launcher. One was a long-ranged class and the other a close-combat class. Gao Jie relied on his familiarity with the map to wind around, hiding his body as he moved, and quietly closed in on Dancing Rain.

Why was Gao Jie familiar with the map? This was because in the regular season, the Glory League adopted a double round-robin system, splitting into a home and away game. The home ground's biggest advantage was that they had the privilege of choosing the map.

Glory had numerous battle maps and added new ones every year. Knowing which map they would use naturally meant the players could do research and practice beforehand. They might also play in the same map in their away game, but they obviously wouldn't have the focused practice like when they did in their home games. It was definitely possible that the home team and the visiting team prepared for the same map, but such an occurrence hadn't yet happened. And as the number of maps in Glory increased, the probability of this happening also decreased.

If the map chosen was the same as what their opponents had once chosen as their home map, then that was their own mistake and couldn't be blamed on others.

The current map that was used in this one on one match was a white snow covered town. Stellar Sword's character wore a full body of white-colored equipment. Even the opponent's Silver weapon "White Lightsaber" implied that it emitted white light. The reason for using this map was too obvious.

At this moment, Stellar Sword was taking the long route to close in on Dancing Rain. The current broadcast was on Stellar Sword's first person perspective, letting everyone experience his current circumstances. Then, it switched to a bird's eye view of the entire map. From this view, they could see that Dancing Rain wasn't stupidly staying in her original position, not moving and turning around everywhere.

The point of view quickly switched to Dancing Rain.

The match broadcast had many different points of views. They didn't only have the player's first-person view. Right now, it was a third-person view letting everyone see that Dancing Rain was circling around a small area scouting around.

From this, it could be seen that whether the match was exciting or not was decided by the performance of the two players. However, this broadcast also showed to everyone that an outstanding cameraman was needed for this too. If the camera angle stayed on a bird's eye view from start to finish, then no matter how exciting the match was, the broadcast would turn it into trash.

This time, the cameraman was clearly quite good. By switching between these three camera angles, plus the casting by the commentator and the guest, the intentions of both players became obvious.

Gao Jie was controlling Stellar Sword along a roundabout route to close in, preparing to catch Dancing Rain off guard.

But the experienced Su Mucheng clearly anticipated this. After observing the surrounding terrain, she controlled Su Mucheng to jump to a good sniping spot. This spot occupied the high grounds. If Stellar Sword wanted to get near, then he would have to expose him to Dancing Rain's heavy fire.

Happy Internet Cafe immediately started booing and laughing. Their laughing was naturally aimed at Gao Jie. He had originally wanted to mount a sneak attack, but now he would fall to Dancing Rain instead.

But Ye Xiu knew that there was no way it would be so simple. If Gao Jie really would fall from this ambush, then he would have wasted his home ground advantage.

Just as expected, Ye Xiu predicted correctly. After Gao Jie's Stellar Sword closed in, he didn't rashly rush forward. Instead, he took another detour and slipped his head out from a small alley to look around.

"This guy sneaking about really is so wretched. Just hurry up and die already." Chen Guo impatiently said.

Ye Xiu shook his head: "His current position is a blind spot. Su Mucheng's movements were within his calculations.

"Gao Jie's current position is a blind spot! No matter what sniping spot Su Mucheng chooses, none of them would have been able to see his position. It looks like all of Su Mucheng's movements are within his calculations!" In the broadcast, Li Yibo's voice also said this at just the right time. It was identical to what Ye Xiu said.

"It looks like 301's research on this map was very thorough." The commentator laughed.

"Naturally." Li Yibo said.

"How does Gao Jie know which sniping spot Su Mucheng is hiding at?" Chen Guo was startled when she said this because the commentator also asked the same question.

"Footprints." Ye Xiu and Li Yibo answered. Their answers were the same.

Chapter 90 – The Footprints are a Trap

"Oh, so it was the footprints……" The commentator suddenly realized, "Everyone look, the map 301 chose is a snowy land, so after a character moves, the character will leave behind a footprint." Following his explanation, the broadcast showed a few of the footprints Dancing Rain left behind.

"But if he goes out to check the footprints, then he'll expose himself to Dancing Rain's fire!" The commentator felt.

"So look here.….." Stellar Sword began moving, while Li Yibo explained: "Gao Jie should be going to a footprint where Su Mucheng can't see him. 301 has studied this map very thoroughly!"

"Oh? Is there such a spot?" The commentator was unconvinced.

"Probably only Gao Jie can answer this question." Li Yibo pretended to move back and forth in suspense.

"Ha ha ha….." The commentator laughed. Actually, to be a professional Glory commentator, Pan Lin had already done this for several years. He himself was a Glory fan. Although he wasn't at the level of a pro-player, he had done this as work for a long time so his scope on the game wasn't ordinary. He probably already knew the answers to his previous doubts and questions, but no choice, that's what the program wanted! The commentator and the honored guest were supposed to echo each other and chat.

The commentator and the honored guests did different work. The commentator usually introduced the subjects, while the honored guest analyzed. Pan Lin had commentated for many years and had worked together with Li Yibo many times. They could be considered well-coordinated.

Gao Jie controlled Stellar Sword to go around the surroundings. After finding a spot, the camera angle changed, giving everyone Stellar Sword's first person view. Just as expected, Stellar Sword found one of Dancing Rain's footprints. As spectators who had seen the map from a bird's eye view, they obviously knew that this footprint was already enough to expose Dancing Rain's position.

"Sure enough, she was found." The commentator said, "Su Mucheng is too careless! This mistake shouldn't have been made."

"Yeah, it looks like Ye Qiu's retirement had a big mental impact on her. From when she first started her career, she had always been with Ye Qiu." Li Yibo spoke as if he understood the situation well.

"Oh no! What should she do?" Chen Guo nervously tugged at Ye Xiu's arm.

Ye Xiu laughed a little. He puffed out a smoke and said: "The footprint is the real trap."

"What?" Chen Guo was startled. She turned her head towards Ye Xiu. Her previous question wasn't actually aimed at Ye Xiu. She was simply nervous and was talking to herself.

"Look." Ye Xiu pointed at the projection. The sound of a gun came through. Chen Guo immediately turned her head. Dancing Rain was using an Aerial Fire to move. In midair, she targeted Stellar Sword, who was behind the wall, and launched an Anti-Tank Missile.

Gao Jie clearly hadn't anticipated this sudden attack. The Anti-Tank Missile sent out three artillery shells that whistled over. It was already too late to dodge them. The artillery shells exploded and the shock wave blasted Stellar Sword into the wall.

Su Mucheng landed on a roof. Her pitch-black gun aimed at Stellar Sword and a tongue of flame roared out. An artillery shell flew out a short distance and then suddenly exploded into several smaller artillery shells and dropped down in numerous arcs towards Stellar Sword. No matter what direction Stellar Sword moved, he was already trapped.

Launcher Skill: (FIM-92) Stinger. The fired artillery shell would explode into eight Stingers and drop down, carrying out an AoE attack.

This skill was usually used on flat grounds and pointed up towards the sky. After the initial artillery shell exploded, the smaller Stingers would envelop the target, dropping from the sky. However, Dancing Rain was already on higher grounds, so she saved time by not needing to calculate where to release Stinger.

Although Stellar Sword couldn't avoid the shots, he could still try to minimize the damage. If he stood there without moving, then he would take damage from all eight Stingers. As a result, Gao Jie controlled Stellar Sword to rush forward. There was no way he could avoid the damage, so he decided that he might as well close the distance between Dancing Rain. Right now, he was already closing in. There was no point in trying to mount a sneak attack in his position.

He opened up a path with Triple Slash. After eating two Stingers, Stellar Sword rushed to underneath the house and immediately used Rising Dragon. He raised his sword above his head. Light flashed out and he flew up.

Relying on this skill's powerful lift off, Gao Jie believed that the Gunner had no way of blocking his path up to the roof.

Just as expected, he rose onto the roof and looked. Dancing Rain had already pulled away, maintaining a certain distance from Stellar Sword.

Seeing that Stellar Sword was about to land on the roof after flying up, Dancing Rain's hands made a clicking sound and a Heat-Seeking Missle launched in an arc dropping towards the edge of the house.

Heat-Seeking Missile! Using a heat source to find its target, it dropped from the sky to attack the opponent. It had a wide explosion radius and had high damage. It was an extremely powerful skill.

Except, it was too slow!!

The not yet landed Stellar Sword used a Sword Draw in midair. A snow-white sword light streaked across the sky. With a "Dong" it accurately hit the heat source.

"Beautiful!!" Pan Lin and Li Yibo exclaimed in admiration at this brilliant and outstanding move. But at this moment, a smiley face sent by Su Mucheng flashed on the chat box. Immediately following, a thick pillar of light dropped from the sky completely enveloping Stellar Sword from head to toe. Stellar Sword and the house underneath his feet exploded and then collapsed.

The light pillar spun and then split into six smaller light pillars. While spinning, they revolved around the center and then gradually spread out, causing the snow on the ground to fly up, covering the sky with a sheet of white snow.

Launcher Ultimate Skill: Satellite Beam.

"An amazing Satellite Beam!!!" The commentator Pan Lin reacted quite quickly. Immediately following with these words, the original high praise "Beautiful" looked as if they had anticipated this and were praising Su Mucheng.

Li Yibo's reaction wasn't slow either; he immediately followed: "It looks like Gao Jie miscalculated this time."

"Let's all see how much damage this Satellite Beam did……." Pan Lin directed the cameraman to look at Stellar Sword's life.

"It looks like it's gone down a third." Li Yibo said.

"Let me see…… you're right!! Stellar Sword's life dropped by one third. This Satellite Beam really did some work. Adding onto the previous Anti-Tank Missile and Stinger damage, Gao Jie is not in a good situation!" Pan Lin shouted.

"Correct, let's see if he has any new methods to close in on Dancing Rain. If the distance between them is kept like this, then there's no way he'll be able to beat a Launcher." Li Yibo said extensively.

"The point you've analyzed is correct." Pan Lin immediately followed.

From when Dancing Rain was about to be sneak attacked to Stellar Sword being caught unprepared and losing a third of his life in an instant, Happy Internet Cafe's fans all stared in awe and all forgot to cheer. This included Chen Guo.

Until she heard Ye Xiu say: "It's over for Gao Jie. Su Mucheng is in an extremely good situation."

Chapter 91 – Excellent Era's Trump Card

"Really?" Chen Guo said blankly and thought of an idiom: the expert grasps the essence, while the amateur sees the surface.

She always thought that Glory players like her already grasped the essence, but today, hearing Ye Xiu's words made Chen Guo suddenly feel that they were only amateurs who knew what skills were used.

Chen Guo continued to watch the match and was somewhat baffled. She already had trouble concentrating.

Sure enough, the following development was just as Ye Xiu had predicted. Gao Jie's Stellar Sword was in a complete disadvantage. Under the suppression of the long-ranged fire from Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain, he could only take a beating without any chance to fight back.

Although there were a few times where he rushed forward to Dancing Rain, Su Mucheng quickly broke away from him every time. She kept a distance between herself and Stellar Sword and continued to relentlessly attack.

The scene continuously changed camera angles, letting everyone see the skill and control of a pro player.

The commentator and the honored guest continued to echo each other. Time and time again, they could only feel sorry for Gao Jie's numerous attempts to close in. On the other hand, every time Su Mucheng sent out a beautiful attack, they applauded and praised her. For them, they had to take an absolutely neutral standpoint. Although they might favor one side in their minds, they rarely displayed it when commentating.

The white snow-covered town had already destroyed by the intense battle between the two. Thick smoke billowed out from the heavy artillery explosions everywhere, and sword scars lay etched into the fields by the numerous sword slashes.

Finally, the word Glory violently jumped onto the screen. The broadcast quickly zoomed in onto Stellar Sword. The scene also went into slow-motion showing Stellar Sword killed by an Anti-Tank Missile. From the slow-motion, they could clearly see that what had originally been three missiles in a one straight line was pulled into a triangle shape by Su Mucheng.

"Ha ha, it's a Tri-Shot!" Chen Guo, who was familiar with Launchers, recognized this move. The player rapidly moved the front sight on their guns making the three consecutive missiles pull apart at an angle, expanding the Anti-Tank Missile's explosion radius.

"Yup, can you do it?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I can't. I can only do two of them." Chen Guo said regretfully. After a bit of hesitation, she said: "This is hard right? Little Tang can't do it either."

"Her hand speed isn't a problem, but timing between the three consecutive Anti-Tank Missiles has to be grasped. If you don't have enough experience, then you definitely can't do it." Ye Xiu said.

"So it's like that." Chen Guo nodded her head.

The broadcast had already zoomed in on the victorious Dancing Rain. Afterwards, they broadcasted a few of the highlights while the commentator and the honored guest continuously commentated. Team Excellent Era won the first round and earned a point.

There were three parts in the Glory League's competition.

The first part was an individual competition. Each team sent three players to play three 1 on 1 matches. Each victory won them 1 point.

The second part was the group competition. Each team made a three-player group and fought in a KOF format. Each team would send out one player to compete. The loser would leave the field and switch with another team member. Once one team ran out of players, the other team would obtain victory and would earn 2 points.

The third part was the team competition. Each team had a total of six players competing, but each battle would be a 5v5 team battle. The sixth player could be called to substitute a player. Once all players in a team were defeated, the other team would obtain victory and earn 5 points.

In this format, players chosen in the first part cannot be chosen to play in the second part. For example, Gao Jie and Su Mucheng had already played in the first round of the 1v1 competition, so these two could not participate in the second part. However, they were allowed to participate in the third part.

In this match, a total of 10 points could be won. The Glory League ranked teams by the total amount of points they had. In this 301 vs Excellent Era match, Su Mucheng won the first round and earned 1 point for the team. Happy Internet Cafe cheered and every one of them was extremely excited.

Among all of the noise, the highlights from the first round ended and the second round of the individual competition began.

In this round, 301 didn't waste their home ground advantage. Relying on their familiarity with the map, Team 301 won the second round.

Of course, this time no one in the Internet Cafe could smile. The same type of highlight reel rolled, but the Internet Cafe was completely lifeless.

In the third round of the individual competition, Team Excellent Era lost again. The spectators in the Internet Cafe began to look sinister. Everyone felt extremely terrible in their hearts. Some cursed at 301, some sighed in disappointment at Team Excellent Era.

Chen Guo wasn't feeling good either. She didn't know when, but looking to the side she saw that Ye Xiu had already left her side and stood outside the door to smoke. The cigarette butt glowed brightly in the dusky night, but the person's expression was indistinct.

After the highlight reel and the commentating, the second part, the group competition, began.

Both sides revealed their group arrangements. All of the spectator's spirits in Happy Internet Cafe ignited.

Excellent Era's trump card finally stepped into the spotlight. Battle God One Autumn Leaf was in the first position of the group.

And his opponent was also 301's best player, the team captain Yang Cong's Assassin: Scene Killer.

One Autumn Leaf had been the recent subject of discussion in the recent few days. In this moment, it was hard to avoid talking about it. Ye Qiu's name was naturally touched upon from time to time until the match started. Pan Lin and Li Yibo hadn't finished talking about what they wanted to. There was nothing to be done. There were far too many stories about Ye Qiu and One Autumn Leaf.

"Okay, the competition has started. Let's pay attention to the match. This is Sun Xiang's first time using One Autumn Leaf as the representative of Excellent Era. Coach Li, what do you think?" Pan Lin skillfully cut off the previous topic and switched over the the competition.

"If we compare their individual skill levels, Sun Xiang is above Yang Cong. Not to mention their characters. All of the 301's character strengths are all around the same. Yang Cong's Scene Killer and Gao Jie's Stellar Sword are almost on par and isn't comparable to the Battle God One Autumn Leaf." Li Yibo said.

"Yeah, we know. One Autumn Leaf should be the character with the most Silver equipment in the Professional Alliance, right?" Pan Lin said.

"Yes, it's true if you just look at the amount. However, as we all know, because the Silver equipment's attributes are rarely publicized, we don't know the attributes, so the amount of Silver equipment isn't an accurate indicator." Li Yibo said.

"You're right. After all, sometimes Silver equipment are at the same level as Orange Equipment, or even Purple equipment, Blue equipment, are all possible, right?" Pan Lin said.

"Correct. From my observations of the first half in the season, I feel that 'God' level characters like Troubling Rain, Desert Dust, Peaceful Hermit, etc., although they don't have as many Silver equipment as One Autumn Leaf, they aren't in any way weaker than One Autumn Leaf." Li Yibo said.

"There's also the question of skill points." Pan Lin said.

"As 'God' level characters, how could they be losing in skill points?" Li Yibo laughed.

"That's true. But no matter how you say it, Scene Killer should be inferior by a level right?" Pan Lin said.

"Of course." Li Yibo said, "However, this doesn't mean that Yang Cong is certainly going to lose. After all, in Glory, you can never tell who's going to win or lose just by looking at their stats on paper."

"Then what advantages does Yang Cong have?" Pan Lin said.

"First of all, he has the home ground advantage. I don't think it's necessary to talk about this. Second, Sun Xiang has just recently transferred to Excellent Era. He should still have some trouble getting used to One Autumn Leaf. We also know that his previously played character wasn't a Battle Mage. This is a very big obstacle. These are Sun Xiang's disadvantages. Switch them around and these are Yang Cong's advantages." Li Yibo said.

"But I heard that Sun Xiang has done quite some research on Battle Mages." Pan Lin said.

"He definitely has. For Excellent Era to have replaced Ye Qiu with Sun Xiang, this is something they definitely considered. If they brought over someone who didn't know anything about Battle Mages, this would be just like in soccer. If the forward was put in as the rear guard, that'd be too funny. No matter how you say it, even if you gave Ye Qiu a Battle Mage with different equipment and skills, he would also need some time to adjust to it right?" Li Yibo said.

"With Ye Qiu's experience, he might not need to!" Pan Lin laughed.

"Right, speaking of experience, Sun Xiang has only been in the Professional Alliance for a year and a half. He could be considered a new player. There's a considerable difference between him and Yang Cong……"

"Good! Everyone look, Yang Cong decided to directly attack. Right now, Scene Killer has already appeared in in One Autumn Leaf's view!!" Before, the two competitors were standing in position, so Pan Lin and Li Yibo analyzed and made a few predictions on the outcome of the match. But now, the two sides suddenly met. A fight could break out at any moment, so Pan Lin immediately ended their idle talk and began commentating on the current situation.

"Was Yang Cong a bit too impatient?" Li Yibo said.

"Scene Killer has rushed forward! He's moving towards One Autumn Leaf's right side!" Pan Lin passionately shouted.

"Oh?…….. He's not directly going at him….." Scene Killer rushed forward, but right when he was about to close in on One Autumn Leaf, he suddenly stopped and began to circle around, patiently looking for an opportunity.

"Ha ha, I thought so. Someone so experienced like Yang Cong wouldn't be so impatient. He should have enough patience to slowly wear down the opponent. Let's see how Sun Xiang is going to deal with this." Li Yibo laughed.

"Sun Xiang's moved!! One Autumn Leaf has rushed forward to meet Scene Killer." Pan Lin shouted.

"Tsk tsk, young people, young people." Li Yibo sighed with sorrow.

"He's opened with Sky Strike! Scene Killer leaped back to avoid it and used Shining Cut to counter!!!"

"This time……"

"What!! Interrupt!!! Sun Xiang actually used Dragon Tooth to interrupt Shining Cut!! That's too unfathomable. Everyone watching should know of Shining Cut's speed. For Sun Xiang to actually used Dragon Tooth to interrupt it, that's too terrifying. Coach Li, what do you think?" Pan Lin was no longer commentating. He was hollering.

"Ah! He…..really is…..a young person…….this….." Li Yibo was unexpectedly at a loss for words. Because for Dragon Tooth to actually interrupt Shining Cut? Even he didn't know what type of crazy skill that was.

Report chapter

"Dragon Tooth interrupts him, Sun Xiang begins his counterattack!!"

"That was the Neutral Chaser from the Dragon Tooth….. Ah, too bad. Scene Killer's dual swords blocked it. However, as long as the Chaser explodes, then the additional effects will apply. Right now, One Autumn Leaf's movement speed has increased."

"Sky Strike, Full Swing, Normal Stab, Double Stab……"

"Scene Killer dodged them all, but it looks like he's having trouble doing so, right Coach Li?" Pan Lin felt that Li Yibo hadn't said anything in awhile and customarily raised a topic to talk about.

"Yeah….." Li Yibo agreed with great difficulty.

Pan Lin couldn't sense that Li Yibo was a little unusual. The match was extremely intense. Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf used a normal attack to steal time for his skills to come off cooldown. He attacked again and again without stopping. Although he wasn't able to continuously hit Scene Killer, Scene Killer was suppressed to the point that he didn't have any opportunities to fight back.

In this process, Scene Killer was hit a few times by One Autumn Leaf. As Scene Killer's life slowly dwindled, One Autumn Leaf's skills created Five Chasers that shot out and exploded. All of the additional effects buffed him and the Battle Mage's specialty of "the longer one fought the stronger one got" was displayed.

"It looks like Sun Xiang broke into One Autumn Leaf quite well, right?" Pan Lin commentated while bringing up a subject to his honored guest after seeing that he wasn't speaking.

"Yeah….." In the end, Li Yibo said this again.

"He deserves to be called a talented new player. Coach Li, do you think the current Sun Xiang's skill has reached the top-tier level?" Pan Lin asked.

"This…..isn't so easy to say. All of the Alliance's top-tier experts use god-level accounts, but this is only Sun Xiang's first time controlling this type of god-level account, so I need to see a bit more before I can make a judgement." Li Yibo finally recovered. He became so absent-minded all because Sun Xiang's skill far surpassed his imagination. He suddenly felt that he had become outdated. Nowadays, he appeared every day on the program and talked big, discussing the players on paper. How long had it been since he'd touched Glory? Had today's Glory already developed to such a level?

Thinking about his past commentating, there were frequently parts he didn't really understand and had to skillfully bring the discussion elsewhere. However, this time, Sun Xiang gave him a huge shock. So large that he even forgot to display his skill in pretending to understand when he actually didn't.

The situation on the field was completely one-sided. Li Yibo's analysis of Yang Cong's advantages couldn't be seen at all. He could only see Sun Xiang's skill and One Autumn Leaf's dominance.

His overwhelming offence completely sparked excitement in Happy Internet Cafe. Everyone was cheering loudly. Even Chen Guo was endlessly excited.

"The Battle God's still here!!" Someone suddenly yelled this out and all of the spectators immediately responded. Everyone yelled it one after another in a rhythm. Even Chen Guo couldn't help but follow everyone and clap her hands, yelling with all her might.

The commentating from the broadcast had already been completely covered. But did everyone still need commentating? No need! One Autumn Leaf's overwhelming offense didn't need to be explained to them.

When Scene Killer fell under One Autumn Leaf's Battle Lance Evil Annihilation, the Internet Cafe's atmosphere reached its peak. Everyone was clapping, cheering, screeching, and whistling. This wasn't simply a victory. Sun Xiang's dominance with One Autumn Leaf ignited everyone's hopes. His overwhelming victory reminded them of One Autumn Leaf's golden age, when its fame and glory swept across the Alliance.

Once one team member fell, another would take his place on the field. There was no time to rest. At this moment, 301 chose another player to battle. Not knowing whether it was because of One Autumn Leaf's previous intimidating victory, this next player's display was clearly off. And up until now, became the quickest one to fall in the five 1v1 matches.

One Autumn Leaf fought twice, yet its life had only decreased by one fourth. The commentators Pan Lin and Lin Yibo and Happy Internet Cafe's spectators all began enthusiastically discussing the possibility of a 1v3 scenario. Looking at the current situation, this scenario looked extremely likely.

301's third player came out. Compared to the second player, this player was even more cowardly. He practically didn't dare to fight One Autumn Leaf up close. He worked very hard on his positioning. As soon as One Autumn Leaf even hinted at an attack, he would immediately dodge as if he were running for his life.

The Internet Cafe's spectators had all already curled up in laughter. This third player looked as if he completely didn't dare to fight hand to hand with Sun Xiang, but had no choice but to put a brace himself. After coming up on stage, he didn't dare play around half-heartedly and cold only bounce around the stage looking very cute.

"This guy really is cowardly. Ha ha ha ha!" Someone loudly commented. In a flash, the hazy two matches in the individual competition had already sweeped past everyone. 301's third player looked like a little clown, making everyone laugh. In comparison, it only made Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf look even mightier.

"Brother Xu, you're really making things very difficult!" Sun Xiang sent out a message clearly jeering at his opponent.

But from beginning to end, his opponent kept his guard up and ran around. It looked like he wasn't prepared to fight at all. Carefully, Sun Xiang spent a long time catching him. Feeling as if it wasn't good enough, after his opponent fell, he sent another message: "What was the point? Wasn't the end result the same?"

At this instant, everyone all had one thought: "God d*mn, it's finally over."

Pan Lin and Li Yibo were all holding back their fire watching this match. However, as commentators, they weren't allowed to insult players. In the end, they heard Pan Lin say: "Sun Xiang had a difficult time this round. Xu Bin deserves to be called 'Grind King'! Whether it be his match or his opponent, even the viewers out there and us commentators are all feeling extremely exhausted!"

"However, this also reflects the spirit of pro-players. In this match, even when there was no chance of success, we've all witnessed Xu Bin's strengths." Li Yibo said.

"Right, I've really opened my eyes today." Pan Lin replied. The two continued to echo each other. They praised him on the surface but implicitly mocked 301's third player Xu Bin.

"Okay, there's a bit of time to rest before the team competition. Let's all enjoy the highlights of Sun Xiang and his One Autumn Leaf's brilliant 1v3."

The highlight reel rolled, while Pan Lin and Li Yibo commented a bit. Sun Xiang's third round versus Xu Bin was even longer than the combined time for the first and second rounds. However, there was no shortage of highlights from the first two rounds. Pan Lin and Li Yibo couldn't help but make a few furtive attacks on 301's players.

After the highlight reel ended, there was still a bit of time before the final and most important team competition. The program played a few ads, while everyone rested a little. They lined up to use the restroom, went over to drink some water, ran over to smoke a cigarette…… people ran all over the Internet Cafe as if they were at a market.

Chen Guo was clearly accustomed to this. She turned her head to look and Ye Xiu was still as before standing at the Internet Cafe entrance smoking a cigarette. The night sky shrouded over him as the cigarette light glowed and glowed, making him seem very lonely.

But the problem was, there was clearly space here. Why did this guy need to stand at the door and look so pitiful? Chen Guo couldn't restrain herself. She headed over to Ye Xiu and called out to him.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Xiu asked.

"What are you doing standing there? Come over here and sit!" Chen Guo said.

"I was afraid my smoke would irritate you." Ye Xiu shook the cigarette in his mouth twice. This guy could hold onto his cigarette without it affecting him speaking. The cigarette wouldn't fall out either. His skill over his cigarette was appalling.

Chen Guo was startled. This guy hid away because he was afraid to bother me? As if you were that good!

"Can't you just smoke less?" Chen Guo said.

Ye Xiu lifted his hand and took his cigarette. He stretched out his fingers. Smoke drew out an arc in the night sky and then was accurately thrown into the trashcan. Following after, Ye Xiu walked back in to sit down.

Chen Guo looked towards him and didn't say anything to him in the end. The broadcast had also finally entered into the most important part of each match: the team competition.

In most circumstances, each team had six main players to ensure that they could fight in all three parts of the match. The Glory Professional Alliance set up a rule that a limit of nine players could sign up for one match. Before the match began, the list of names would be announced. As a result, most clubs had 9 to 11 pro-players in a team. Although there were times when a few of the poorer new clubs had the minimum of six players, they would quickly expand their numbers. After all, if they only relied on these six members, then if one of them happened to be sick or something unexpected happened, then it would affect their match results.

In the Clubs currently in the Professional Alliance, they all had at least one famous and outstanding shot-caller supplemented by five reputed players. Besides these six players, everyone liked to sign on and nurture a few newcomers with potential.

There were many ways to find potential newcomers. Some recommended themselves. Some were discovered through non-pro matches. Some were exceptionally accomplished players in Glory's Arena……In short, after drawing lessons from past e-sports scenes, the Glory Alliance operated smoothly for almost seven years. There was a relatively developed system for everything. The scene wasn't lacking in any way compared to traditional sporting events like soccer or basketball.

Under the situation where nothing unexpected had happened to the six main players, the three parts of the competition were usually fought for by these six players.

301's and Excellent Era's match was even more so. In this final team competition, the previous twelve players from the individual and group competitions participated.

Along with the commentator Pan Lin's impassioned shout, the team competition officially started.

301 was the home team, so the map was chosen by them. However, Team Excellent Era's Sun Xiang had just recently pulled off a magnificent 1v3 feat. The wind favored neither side. Pan Lin and Li Yibo also discussed whether or not this round would mark the turning point in Team Excellent Era's decline.

"It's started! It's started!" When the match started, Chen Guo followed the Internet Cafe viewers and clapped together.

"Don't be so excited!" Ye Xiu said.

"We're watching a competition. If you don't throw yourself in, then it's no fun. You should also get excited!" Chen Guo felt helpless towards Ye Xiu. He played all-night and even continued playing afterwards with so much energy. But the rest of time, why was he always so lifeless? I don't understand him.

"The greater your hopes, the greater your disappointment!" Ye Xiu said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Guo heard this and was a little puzzled.

"Watch the match. It's started." Ye Xiu calmly said.

Chapter 93 – That Wasn't An Intentional Loss

Spectators, even the commentator and the honored guest, all thought that Excellent Era, would easily defeat their low-moraled opponents with their momentum from their imposing 1v3. But who knew that once the match started, Team 301 Degrees showed an extremely energetic and positive look. When the match started, the guild leader Yang Cong's Scene Killer took the initiative to storm towards Team Excellent Era.

"Wow, what spirit! It's probably because he found that losing three times in a row was too embarrassing, right?" The Internet Cafe spectators all poked fun at them causing the whole room to roar with laughter.

Even the commentator Pan Lin had a similar guess: "Oh? 301 opened with such energy! Coach Li, do you think it's because they want to take back the face they lost last match?"

"Yeah, this is a possibility. After all, the skill level and characters between everyone in the Professional Alliance are all very close. Situations like Sun Xiang's 1v3 are extremely rare. If I remember correctly, from the first season up until today, this has only happened twice, right?" As an honored guest, Li Yibo was still quite dedicated to his work and had a few statistics prepared.

"Yeah, once was by Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain." Pan Lin said.

"The other was by Han Wenqing's Desert Dust." Li Yibo said.

"However, these two times were against weak teams. Team 301 Degrees are still relatively strong. This is probably the reason they can't accept it." Pan Lin said.

"Hey, let's look at this match! Right now, both sides are directly clashing face to face. It looks like this match will be decided quickly." Li Yibo said.

"Right, the player leading the charge on Excellent Era's side is Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf. What type of opening attack is he going to use on his opponents this time?"

"Oh…….what……Yang Cong's Scene Killer isn't going to attack One Autumn Leaf face to face. They're all scattering."

"It looks like they're getting ready to go around One Autumn Leaf!" Li Yibo added.

"This….if the five are scattered, no matter how skilled Sun Xiang is, there's no way he can block these five players at the same time!" Pan Lin said.

"It's a team competition, no? You can never count on one person to win it." Li Yibo said.

"Yeah, Team Excellent Era's other players are all getting ready to confront their opponents. Oh, what? They're running now?" Pan Lin was astonished.

"I don't understand what 301's planning to do!" Li Yibo was also puzzled.

"Nice! Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf has finally tangled with an opponent. Let's see how long his opponent can hold. In theory, there's no one on 301 can contest with Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf one on one." Pan Lin said.

"301's players should be coming back to save him! If someone is killed off in the beginning of the match, then it'll make things very difficult for them." Li Yibo said.

"I understand 301! It looks like they're not attaching any importance to the strength of Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf." Pan Lin said.

"Wait a second!" Pan Lin suddenly shouted, "Who is One Autumn Leaf facing?"

It was quite troublesome spectating the team battle. The characters were all in a mess and often changed positions. It was often difficult to tell who was who. When the battle intensified and those flashy skills flew about everywhere, it became even harder to distinguish between different players.

"This……it seems like……" Li Yibo was also trying hard to identify the player.

"It's Tide!!!" Pan Lin's words sounded like a scream. He held back a "D*MN" with great difficulty. "D*MN", this sort of everyday life phrase, wasn't usually seen as a very vulgar word. However, in this sort of broadcast program, it definitely had to cared about. If Pan Lin used it once on this program, then there would be a lot of criticism.

Hearing this, Li Yibo was also speechless. All of the spectators were all completely speechless too.

Tide, "Grind King" Xu Bin's character.

"Did we make a mistake? It wasn't One Autumn Leaf who went to tangle with Tide, but the other way around?" Pan Lin said.

After all, Pan Lin was only a commentator so he didn't really care. However, Li Yibo was an honored guest who represented power and prestige. Him admitting to his mistake would make it seem like he had lost a lot of face. As a result, he immediately started "evading the subject" and after randomly saying a "Yeah", he followed: "This Xu Bin really is unusual. There are very few players in the Professional Alliance who use Knights, that type of solely defensive class! He could probably be considered the most outstanding among them."

"But isn't it hard to display this type of class's strength in a PVP setting, Coach Li?" Pan Lin smoothly picked up the topic.

"Correct….." Li Yibo finally brought back a bit of his power and prestige.

"Right now, Xu Bin's Tide is fighting Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf. Yang Cong's Scene Killer has also avoided being tangled with three of Excellent Era's players. His target…… His target is Dancing Rain, Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain. Who would have thought! So 301 has placed Dancing Rain as their number one target?"

"This….." Li Yibo was clearly quite puzzled. Whether it was towards determining skills or analyzing tactics, he felt that they were becoming harder and harder for him. This sort of situation intensified year after year. In every match, he would always come across a few awkward moments where he had to use his evasion tactics to resolve them.

Fortunately, he saved some trouble this time because the match was so intense. There was simply no time for him to reply to Pan Lin's stream of questions. He immediately said the following commentary: "Beautiful! Yang Cong's Scene Killer turned two times beautifully in the air to dodge Dancing Rain's two shots. He lands and rolls, a Shining Cut!!!! He perfectly dodged another shot. He's closed in. He's closed in! Dancing Rain's about to be in his range!!"

"Oh? Su Mucheng's reactions are very quick. She hops and uses Aerial Fire to fly backwards!"

"Wow, Yang Cong's Scene Killer is even faster! Diving Arrow….. Dancing Rain's been stepped on. It'll be troublesome for her this time. What about Excellent Era's players? Wow, they've all been restrained. No one can come over and help. Su Mucheng's in a dangerous position!"

"Brilliant!! That backwards leap was too beautiful, right? Coach Li?" Pan Lin shouted.

"That's right! He just happened to dodge the knock-up knee from Su Mucheng's BBQ. We can see Yang Cong's sturdy basics from this backwards leap! Viewers who like Glory……"

"Dancing Rain also leaps backwards!!" In such an intense battle, Li Yibo still wanted to give the viewers a lesson, but Pan Lin heartlessly interrupted his commentating, "Open fire! Dancing Rain finally used Aerial Fire to fly backwards."

"Dodged!! Dodged again!!! Even with such a short distance between them, Yang Cong's Scene Killer was still able to dodge it."

"Shadow Move and Swift Run!! Glory's quickest movement skill on the ground. Its speed surpasses Aerial Fire, and Scene Killer instantly closed the gap with Dancing Rain. Dancing Rain still can't break away from him!" Pan Lin continuously gasped. Happy Internet Cafe, on the other hand, was completely silent. They had originally thought that Excellent Era would utterly destroy Team 301. Who knew that such a situation would unfold.

Currently, even the normal players, who weren't listening to the commentating or expert analysis, could tell that 301 had the absolute advantage. Excellent Era's five player team had been split into three parts.

"Grind King" Xu Bin's Tide was wrapped around Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf.

Gao Jie and 301's other two players were fighting Excellent Era's three players in a 3v3.

For the moment, it was difficult to see what the outcome would be in the 3v3. But the worst situation was in the final split: Yang Cong's Scene Killer versus Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain. Su Mucheng was the true target 301 wanted to isolate. Dancing Rain was also the first target they wanted to kill off. Possessing the longest firing range, the Launcher wasn't like the Sharpshooter, which had several close combat skills. Dealing with an Assassin's close combat attacks would be extremely difficult. It would also be impossible to break away from.

"This…..this…..how could it be like this!!" Seeing her idol in such a predicament, Chen Guo was the most worried in the Internet Cafe. She couldn't help but tightly grip onto Ye Xiu and discuss with him.

"301 clearly understood Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf's strength. They had never looked down on him from the start." Ye Xiu said.

"What?"

"With Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf overseeing the group competition, they knew that they had a very small chance of winning, so they simply gave up on the group competition." Ye Xiu said.

"So you're saying that they had intentionally lost the previous group competition?" Chen Guo was astonished.

"They didn't intentionally lose. They gave it up." Ye Xiu corrected Chen Guo, "This is one option as an overall tactic. Them losing the group competition was already arranged by them. The first round's Yang Cong plays delicately and quickly. When he fought with Sun Xiang, he effortlessly brought up Sun Xiang's hand speed to excite Sun Xiang. Afterwards, the second player lost extremely quickly. This stirred up Sun Xiang's arrogance. As for the third round's Xu Bin, he made Sun Xiang, who was flushed with the success from the previous two rounds, want to quickly make him fall. In this round, his hand speed exceeded his hand speed when he fought with Yang Cong. However, Xu Bin displayed his strength as the "Grind King" making Sun Xiang keep up his extremely quick hand speed. In the end, he also wasn't Sun Xiang's opponent and lost. But after the 1v3, Sun Xiang's state of mind and hand speed reached the peak."

"So what?" Chen Guo didn't really understand.

"His hand speed's already gone out of control." Ye Xiu said.

"Hand speed's gone out of control?"

"He's unknowingly been caught in his opponent's trap. To put it simply, he's already in way over his head." Ye Xiu said.

"What…..what then?"

"There are a lot of possibilities. To say the least, his excessive excitement will mess up his coordination with his other teammates. He had just recently joined Team Excellent Era, so his synergy with the other members isn't that good yet. Him being excited to this degree is already fatal. The team competition has never been decided by a single player. It has always depended on the team's strength. 301's current tactic is to isolate Su Mucheng and put her Dancing Rain as the priority target. But seeing this arrangement, it looks like the first target they isolated was Sun Xiang. But if we were to rank 301's priority targets, he would probably be last."

"Why?"

"All in all, his strength is tyrannical. If Xu Bing continues to grind him down, then under such a violent hand speed, it looks to me that his hands will cramp up. Although 301's team captain is Yang Cong, a lot of their tactics are actually done with Xu Bin as the focus. This is a team supported by two core members." Ye Xiu said, "For both of their two strongest core members to appear in the group competition, do you still think that they 'intentionally lost'?"

Chapter 94: Dropping the Ball at a Crucial Moment

Translator:Nomyummi

Editor:GravityTales

"Losing the group competition was unavoidable, but 301 has always looked towards victory. Their outstanding display in the group competition will lead them to the path for victory in the team competition. The most important part of this battle actually lies in the second part. Moreover, it's not about winning; it's about losing!" Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo was dumbstruck. Normally, she already felt that the analysis by commentator and the honored guest were already amazing. However, hearing what Ye Xiu said made her feel that the commentator's and honored guest's words were nothing worth mentioning. Was the commentator and honored guest intentionally holding back their analysis to keep the suspense? Or is Ye Xiu on a higher level? Chen Guo wasn't sure, but hearing about hand speed going out of control, the team coming apart, etc. … They all felt like fantasies. This guy wasn't blabbering nonsense, right?

"Young people! They're not at that level yet." Ye Xiu shook his head and sighed.

Chen Guo stared blankly towards the match. At this moment, the Internet Cafe was deathly silent, like how they were when Excellent Era lost the second round. Everyone was sweating and nervous on behalf of the team. They weren't like Chen Guo. After hearing Ye Xiu's analysis, Chen Guo couldn't help but come to a conclusion. But these spectators still carried hope and still looked forward to Excellent Era's powerful counterattack.

Unfortunately, their hopes never came. In the middle of Pan Lin's loud shouts, Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain was the first to fall. Although they could call for the sixth player to switch in, the sixth player had to switch in a designated area. Under Scene Killer's desperate chase, Su Mucheng wasn't able to hold on until this step.

When Dancing Rain was killed off, Excellent Era's sixth player automatically entered the battlefield. He also knew that the situation wasn't looking good and hastily rushed over to rescue everyone.

Pan Lin's commentating never stopped. Seeing Excellent Era's sixth player enter the battlefield, he immediately said: "Good! Excellent Era's sixth player has entered. Yeah, the player who's come…… He Ming's Merciless Magic, an Elementalist. Coach Li, do you think He Ming will be able to reverse Excellent Era's current situation?"

"Yeah, the sixth player often becomes the turning point in the team competition. However, Excellent Era weren't the ones to actively decide for a substitution. He Ming automatically entered the field. This in itself is already trouble for them. In addition, 301 has certainly prepared for this step. He Ming himself also isn't a top-tier player. His Merciless Magic isn't one either. I'm afraid that relying on him to instantly change the situation is a bit unrealistic." Li Yibo said.

"Then what do you think he should do?" Pan Lin asked.

"He first needs to coordinate with his other team members. This is crucial." Li Yibo said.

"But I feel like Excellent Era is already a bit disorganized. I can't tell if they have a clear plan on what to do." Pan Lin said.

"The crucial point is still on Sun Xiang. I feel like his individual performance has been a bit too outstanding. His sudden prominence up until now makes him feel like he's not on the same page as the rest of his team members. This also confirms my previous points. Sun Xiang just recently joined Excellent Era a few days ago. There's still the problem of breaking in!" Li Yibo unleashed another one of his great tricks: the concept of disguised replacement. By mentioning his previous point on Sun Xiang's disadvantage of breaking into One Autumn Leaf, he briefly answered the question while making him look perceptive and very professional.

No one could tell if Pan Lin knew whether he had been tricked or not. In any case, he still repeatedly praised him in a you're always right attitude.

At this moment, Chen Guo turned her head and looked at Ye Xiu in astonishment. What the professional honored guest had said was the same as what Ye Xiu analyzed. However, they were a bit different too. The honored guest had said that the team was coming apart because of the issue of breaking in, while Ye Xiu said that the reason was because it had been set up that way by their opponents.

"Good! Next up, let's see if He Ming's addition will turn the tables for Excellent Era." Pan Lin continued to commentate on the match. Chen Guo didn't ask any further. Although her idol, Su Mucheng, had already been defeated, she still had hopes for the substitute He Ming.

"Go go go!!" The spectators in the Internet Cafe all thought this to themselves, but no one yelled it out. They seemed as if they were afraid that the players on stage would hear them and be disturbed.

The only sounds remaining in the Internet Cafe were the sounds of fighting in the matches and the commentating. After He Ming entered the field, he cast magic all along the way, having learned from Su Mucheng's mistakes. And this made things very difficult for Yang Cong's Scene Killer, who needed to be up-close to assassinate. The Elementalist used everything he had to prevent Yang Cong from closing in. Keeping this sort of quick tempo all the way through, he met up with his team's players.

He Ming's display drew praise from honored guest Coach Li. Hearing it, Happy Internet Cafe's spectators all became restless again. It looked as if they saw another hope for victory and the atmosphere immediately brightened up.

Right when it seemed like He Ming's Merciless Magic was about to join forces with Excellent Era's other characters, a sudden bang rang out. The scene on the massive projection curtain disappeared along with the working sounds of every computer in the Internet Cafe. The few lights that were on also died out. The entire Internet Cafe suddenly turned pitch-dark.

A sudden clamor of noise! The just recently excited viewers instantly exploded. Screeches, whistles, etc. they were all there. Many of them were loud shouts asking: "Cafe manager!!!! What's going on?"

Amidst all of the yelling, the Internet Cafe's emergency lights lit up, and everyone was free from the darkness. Once the emergency lights lit up, some people were able to figure out the reason: a blackout.

"How'd that happen?" Chen Guo went outside the Internet Cafe to look at the streetlights. They were still brightly lit.

Some of the guests patiently waited. Some of them were loudly asking for the situation. Some even immediately got up and left.

"Little Li, go check if the circuit breaker was tripped!" Chen Guo called the Cafe manager to go look. At this moment, the second floor customers also found their way down to ask what the situation was.

Little Li quickly returned: the circuit breaker was still in a good condition. She didn't know what the problem was.

Chen Guo saw that there was nothing she herself could do to fix it and could only wait for the repairman to come. Once the customers all got the news, they immediately rushed like the tides to the reception desk in a hurry to pay their bills and leave.

"There's no electricity, how are they going to pay?" Ye Xiu was originally next to the reception desk. Because the crowd rushed forward, he was immediately squeezed onto the reception desk and had to ask Chen Guo.

"Manually, how else?" Chen Guo's situation was the same as Ye Xiu's. She was also pushed onto the reception desk.While answering Ye Xiu's question, she turned her head and roared: "Don't squeeze!! Line up one by one!!!"

A customer who was tightly pressed behind Chen Guo recognized her and felt embarrassed: "There's nothing I can do, Lady Boss. I can't move, see for yourself."

"If you take the chance to lean onto my body again, I'll kill you!!" Chen Guo threatened.

This brother was of good quality. He really wasn't doing it on purpose. After being threatened by Chen Guo, he alone had to hold back the huge army as if he wereZhang Wuji https/en./wiki/Zhang_Wujiagainst the six major sects. He was in unspeakable pain and miserable beyond words.

Luckily, it was at the peak of the evening, the time when there were the most employees on duty. They came one after another to help the customers settle their bills and find change.

Chen Guo wanted to squeeze through the crowd to get behind the reception desk, but was unsuccessful. Looking to the side, Ye Xiu was also struggling in the crowd. With great effort, he was able to free one hand. And inside his hand was shockingly a cigarette!!!

"You're going to smoke at this time!!!" Chen Guo saw Ye Xiu deliver the cigarette into his mouth and turned furious! What was this guy.

"What else should I be doing?" Ye Xiu said. Seeing that he had no lighter in his hand, he called the little sister at the reception desk: "Come here, come here. Help this brother light a cigarette."

"Ignore him!!" Chen Guo said.

The little sister obviously listened to her boss and ignored Ye Xiu. But in the end, a caring person to the side said: "Brother, I have a lighter here."

"Thank you, thank you!!" Ye Xiu borrowed the lighter and lit his cigarette. After sucking in a mouthful, he cast a glance at Chen Guo. Chen Guo spat blood. While this beast was happily smoking, she was crammed tight until her chest was almost flat.

Luckily, order was quickly found. After forcing her way to behind the reception desk, Chen Guo let out a sigh. Wielding his employee status, Ye Xiu was also able to get behind the reception desk. He didn't do a thing and just stood there smoking.

Chen Guo had her hands full manually settling the customer bills. Seeing that this guy was still smoking there so easily and comfortably, she immediately ordered him: " Go call the repairman to come over."

"What number?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Look it up yourself." Chen Guo handed over her cellphone.

Ye Xiu took the cellphone and opened the contacts list. Starting from letter B, Repairman 1, Repairman 2, Repairman 3, Repairman 4…..

Which Repairman?" Ye Xiu asked. "Four….." Chen Guo said.

"Boss, you're a genius." Ye Xiu worshipped. Flipping open Repairman 4, sure enough, it was the electrician's number. The other side asked for the situation, the address, and said that there just happened to be someone nearby and could conveniently come and look.

After hanging up the phone, he informed Chen Guo of the situation. Chen Guo nodded her head and didn't say anything more.

The customers were gradually sorted out. After hearing that they had called an electrician and that he was coming over, some of the addicted customers unexpectedly waited instead of leaving. However, this was just a small minority. Most of the customers quickly left. Chen Guo saw that even if the electrician came and fixed the electricity, she wouldn't know what time it would be by then. She waved her hand saying that they would get off work early today. The employees in mid-shift happily left. They definitely didn't care!

On the other hand, Ye Xiu looked quite worried. He'd even run outside from time to time to look around. Someone found their way downstairs and said: "What happened?"

"Nothing much, a power outage." Chen Guo heard the voice and knew that it was Tang Rou.

"Ah? A power outage? Can it be fixed?" Tang Rou said.

"They said that someone nearby would come. But it's been quite awhile and no signs of him yet!" Chen Guo said.

"Really? Then why isn't he here yet!" Tang Rou immediately went out the door to look and happened to come across Ye Xiu, who had just come back after looking outside. Chen Guo looked. These two reacted so similarly! They cared so much about the Internet Cafe. Chen Guo felt very warm in her heart. After looking outside and running back, Tang Rou immediately asked Ye Xiu in disappointment: "If there's no electricity, then we can't level up?"

"Right!" Ye Xiu also knitted his brows in worry: "This is a very tense moment where I need to rush to Level 25. Boss, why did this lousy Internet Cafe have to drop the ball at such a crucial moment?"

"Both of you go to your rooms and sleep!!!!" Chen Guo stamped her feet furiously.

Chapter 95: Unexpected Guests

Editor:GravityTales

"I just got up. Why should I sleep?" Tang Rou said.

"I'm feeling pretty good." Ye Xiu said.

"When did you wake up?" Tang Rou asked.

"8 o'clock!"

The two chatted, each minding their own business, making Chen Guo speechless in anger. At this moment, the Internet Cafe door opened and an uncle came: "Is it you guys with no electricity?"

Ye Xiu and Tang Rou were overjoyed at the turn of events. They both welcomed him, nodding their heads and bowing: "Yeah, yeah. Uncle, you've arrived."

"What happened?" The uncle carried his toolbox and entered.

"You two take care!" Chen Guo was already done with these two. Right when she was about to go upstairs, she heard Ye Xiu yell from behind: "Boss, we have to pay right?"

When Chen Guo heard this, her feet slipped and she nearly fell to the ground headfirst. After a long time, she recovered and said slowly: "Get it from the cash box."

Ye Xiu and Tang Rou immediately became little robot servants. They followed him everywhere, waiting on the side with tea and water to serve. After the uncle electrician inspected the situation, he found the problem. But his expression didn't look good. The problem was clearly difficult to resolve, already causing the electrician to think of withdrawing.

"How is it?" Ye Xiu asked.

"It's not easy to fix. It's too late right now, I'll come back tomorrow!" The uncle said this and was about to pack up and leave.

Ye Xiu panicked. He was about to try and bribe the uncle with cigarettes, when he heard a "No way", interrupting his move. At this crucial moment, the beauty Tang Rou showed her power. She went up and pulled at the uncle, telling him soft words and asking him for help. After a few words, she broke down the uncle's defense. The uncle's IQ and EQ drastically dropped. His hands waved as if he were wiping away his drool. Carrying his toolbox, he turned around without hesitation: "Watch me!"

Ye Xiu was delighted and gave a big thumbs up towards Tang Rou. Tang Rou returned a smile. The two became professional electrician apprentices. One of them held the flashlight and the other carried the tools, while listening to the uncle explain the reason for the malfunction. They had no idea what he was saying and used "Okay. Yeah. Sure", every possible agreeing noise.

The electrician uncle was a kind and honest person. When he said that the problem was difficult to fix, it really did take a long time. In the end, he customers that had originally wanted to wait until the electricity came back all left. As time went on, Ye Xiu and Tang Rou also gradually felt a little sorry. It was already 11 o'clock. He had been fixing for two hours and no signs of the electricity coming back any time soon.

"Let's go buy some midnight snacks and rest for a bit!" Tang Rou, who had made the move to have the uncle stay, felt even more sorry. She felt that she should at least bring the uncle some midnight snacks to eat.

"Okay, I'll go." Ye Xiu nodded. He rubbed his head while asking: "Take the money from the cash box?"

Tang Rou made a sideways glance. Ye Xiu quietly nodded his head and went to the nearby restaurant to buy some food. He returned to invite the electrician uncle. The uncle really was tired, so he didn't decline.

"How much money?" Tang Rou asked Ye Xiu.

"What?"

"Food." Tang Rou said.

"86. You haven't eaten dinner yet, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah……. 86, I only have 43. I owe you then!" Tang Rou said.

"No need!" Ye Xiu laughed. This sister really was earnest. She wanted both of them to split the bill.

"If you insist on inviting me, then I don't mind." Tang Rou smiled.

"Eat eat!" Ye Xiu didn't mind. He turned around towards the uncle: "Uncle, thanks for your trouble. How much longer do you need?"

"Not much. Around half an hour!" The electrician uncle said.

The two let out a sigh. They finally saw some light.

He didn't need thirty minutes. After twenty minutes, everything was restored and the Internet Cafe's electricity came back. The bill went to the Internet Cafe.

After the uncle left and the Internet Cafe's lights came back on, only Ye Xiu and Tang Rou were there. It was already past midnight. Ye Xiu didn't have much work experience and asked Tang Rou: "Will there still be people coming?"

"I have no idea. Let's keep watch!" Tang Rou turned off the useless lights. Ye Xiu sat at the reception desk and had already turned on the computer. 。 "Then I'll sit down too!" Tang Rou went over and prepared to use the server computer. As long as there was one computer station that needed it, then the server computer would need to be turned on too. The electricity had only just come on at this time, so she didn't know if anyone would come to the Cafe. And it'd just be better to just directly use the server computer than to turn on another one.

"You don't mind me smoking, right?" Ye Xiu promptly asked.

"I don't mind." Tang Rou said.

"That's good." Ye Xiu let out a sigh.

"Would you like some tea?" Tang Rou carried her cup, about to go make tea.

"Thank you." Ye Xiu didn't decline.

"Your cup?"

"……." How could Ye Xiu have his own cup. In the end, Tang Rou took out a bottle of Healthy Master Green Tea from the cupboard and handed it to Ye Xiu: "It's my treat."

"……." Ye Xiu was speechless.

The majority of the Internet Cafe's lights were turned off. In the huge space, only their reception desk had some light. It looked like a small island. Tang Rou didn't say anything else and swiped her card to enter the game. She controlled her Soft Mist directly to Skeleton Graveyard. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, first went to open the web browser and went to the Glory Professional Alliance's official site.

They lost!

As expected, Team Excellent Era lost the team competition. In the end, in this round, relying on Su Mucheng's single victory in the individual competition and the second part's group competition, Excellent Era earned 3 points. Team 301, on the other hand, earned 7 points.

In the 20th round of the league, Team Excellent Era's ranking in the league didn't change. They were still second to last place. However, all of the supporters all had their hopes reignited after this round. All because of Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf's extraordinary 1v3 in the group competition. As for their loss in the team competition, everyone just blamed it on the fact that Sun Xiang had just entered the team and hadn't broken in yet.

In short, everyone held high expectations for Sun Xiang. Many of the faithful fans had already researched how many points Excellent Era would need to enter the top eight spots in the regular season and qualify for playoffs. From these calculations, they found the Team Excellent Era still had the possibility of qualifying for playoffs from their second to last place position. Their final result: in theory, there was still a possibility, but it would be extremely difficult. Their performance in the first half of the season really was too poor. Among the comments, there were many complaints towards the previous team captain Ye Qiu.

Ye Xiu silently closed the web page and immediately swiped his card, entering the game. Once he got online, he received a greeting from Seven Fields. After the greeting, Seven Fields sent an invite: "Want to dungeon with us, brother expert?"

Ye Xiu turned his head to look at the level of Tang Rou's Soft Mist. She was level 18, almost 19. She would definitely reach level 20 tonight. He only had a limited amount of entries for the Frost Forest dungeon. Ye Xiu felt that he should leave some entries and later bring Tang Rou over to get familiar with the map. As a result, he replied to Seven Fields: "How about a bit later! Train a bit first. I have a friend here. I'll bring her over in a bit and then we can dungeon together."

"Okay." Seven Fields obviously didn't object: "Then are we still going to Boneyard?"

"Yeah. You're the only one on today, right?" Drifting Water and Sunset Clouds didn't appear as online on his friends list.

"Sleeping Moon too!" Seven Fields replied.

"Then let's go together!"

"Is Steamed Bun Invasion with you?" Ye Xiu's friend list showed that Steamed Bun Invasion was online.

"No. He doesn't dare level, so he ran over to the Arena to PK."

Just when Ye Xiu was reading Seven Field's reply, Steamed Bun Invasion sent a message: "God! When are we going to go dungeon?"

"Soon, soon. You keep polishing your skills in the Arena! How are you doing?" Ye Xiu asked.

Steamed Bun Invasion replied with a "He he" and a silly smiley face. It looked like he was doing quite well. Ye Xiu wasn't surprised. With Steamed Bun Invasion's hand speed, he was more than good enough to be a champion among the new players. As for the experts. Blue River? Plantago Seed? Cold Night? All of these experts were rushing to level up. Who would go play around in the Arena!

After joining up with Seven Fields and Sleeping Moon in the Boneyard, they began leveling, and didn't have anything much to really chat about. Tang Rou was simply soloing dungeons, so she didn't have anything to say either. The Internet Cafe was extremely quiet. Only the two people's mouse-clicking and keyboard-tapping could be heard. This sort of atmosphere stayed for about an hour. Suddenly, they heard footsteps. The two shifted their gaze from their computer screens to the Internet Cafe entrance. It was almost two o'clock in the morning and there was unexpectedly a customer.

The person at the entrance glanced inside the Internet Cafe and then turned around and called in pleasant surprise: "Brother Hao, the Internet Cafe's empty!"

While he said this, three more people walked to the entrance. They looked inside the Internet Cafe. The previous person already rushed towards the reception desk, where there was light, and asked: "Are you guys open?"

If there were customers, then they had to do their work! Tang Rou ignored them. She was here to play the game. She wasn't on night duty. The one with the night shift was Ye Xiu, so Ye Xiu was in charge of the customers.

Ye Xiu immediately stopped playing. He brightened up the lights at the reception desk and greeted: "How many guests are with you?"

He raised his head and saw four people. Ye Xiu was startled. He completely recognized the four of them.

The person who had just been talking with him was called Chen Yehui. In Glory, he was Excellent Dynasty's guild leader.

The three others that came with him, Liu Hao, Wang Ze, Fang Fengran, were all pro players in Team Excellent Era. The four people's faces were all flushed and looked a little drunk. When they walked in, their angle just happened to be unable to see Ye Xiu, who was blocked by the computer. But they could see Tang Rou and their eyes all brightened.

When the four walked forward, Ye Xiu continued to sit calm and collected. That Liu Hao walked at the very front. Supporting his body with the table, he stretched out his neck and after glancing at Tang Rou's computer screen, he immediately laughed: "Sister, you play Glory?"

Tang Rou turned her head and took a quick look at him. After smiling and saying "Yeah", she turned her head back and continued playing.

"Cough!" Liu Hao coughed for no reason. It looked like he was trying to get her attention. He followed up as if nothing had happened: "You play pretty well!"

"Thanks." Tang Rou turned her head and smiled politely at him. Soon after, she ignored him again.

Liu Hao was puzzled, extremely puzzled! If she played Glory, how could she not recognize him? He himself was a great and famous pro player! With such a short distance between them, and the lighting being good as well… could it be because his hairstyle was a little different today? So puzzled! The people behind him tugged at his clothing twice. Liu Hao turned his head and saw that the two people behind him looked uneasy. They were looking to the side with a meaningful glance.

Liu Hao turned his head and looked. He saw Ye Xiu with a cigarette in his mouth heading over towards them.

"Are you going to use the computers?" Ye Xiu asked.

Chapter 96: Because You Made Mistakes

Liu Hao was also startled. He looked like he didn't believe what he was seeing. After a long time, he recovered and suddenly grinned: "What a coincidence. It's actually Brother Ye. Brother you're here……as a Cafe manager??" Liu Hao said 30% astonished and 70% in ridicule.

"Yup!" Ye Xiu laughed.

"Oh oh, how is it? Is it hard? How much money do you earn every month?" Liu Hao asked as if he were very concerned about Ye Xiu.

"1800!" Ye Xiu said. In Chen Guo's Internet Cafe, most employees had a monthly salary of 1500 Yuan including food and shelter. For someone like him who had just arrived, this was quite good. Ye Xiu earned an extra 300 because he was there full-time for the night shift.

"Woah!" Liu Hao acted extremely worried, "1800! Isn't that a little tight? Do you have enough money for your cigarettes every month? If you don't have enough, then you don't have to be polite. Come look for us brothers. We're not that far away anyways. You just have to cross the street and walk a bit, no?" Liu Hao said.

"Okay!" Ye Xiu said as if everything was normal. On the side, Tang Rou could hear that this wasn't any ordinary conversation. Something was fishy about this customer's tone. She turned her head and asked Ye Xiu: "Your friends?"

Right when Ye Xiu was about to answer, Liu Hao stole it away: "Hey! Don't flatter us as his friends. How could we dare be friends with Brother Ye? To be more accurate, we're only Brother Ye's underlings."

Ye Xiu remained silent as before. His gaze was locked straight onto Liu Hao.

Liu Hao immediately retreated back a step and made an exaggerated expression of alarm: "Wow! It's that look!! It's that look again! Did you guys know? Once Brother Ye makes that look, then that means he's going to teach me a lesson!! Oh no oh no oh no."

That Excellent Dynasty guild leader Chen Yehui immediately took the opportunity: "Brother Hao, he can't teach you anymore right?"

"Right!" Liu Hao made another exaggerated expression: "How could I forget. You're already no longer the team captain! Oh no, what are you going to do now? Brother Ye, you definitely want to say a few words me to me right? But what a pity! I don't have to listen to anything you say now. HA HA HA HA."

"Mister, did you drink too much?" Tang Rou showed her rare impolite tone.

"Beautiful, you don't have to worry about it. This is a personal grudge between me and him." Liu Hao already had no interest in getting to know the beauty.

Ye Xiu laughed. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it out. He slowly stood up and said to Liu Hao: "I always scolded you before because you made mistakes. You didn't want it to be like that, but you never gave me an opportunity to, no?"

Tang Rou made "Pft" laugh. Chen Guo was right! This Ye Xiu really did have incredible skill at making others angry.

Hearing this, Liu Hao really did grow angry. His previous act had already disappeared. Blue veins popped out from his head and he straightened his neck until he was in front of Ye Xiu's face: "I didn't give you angry opportunities? Or you didn't give me any opportunities? Starting from the first day I joined the team, you always beat me down and never gave me the chance to come out. I always knew that you were scared of me. Scared that once I came out, I'd steal your position. But did you really think that you could keep me down? What about now? The one who stayed on the team is me. The one's who has been kicked is you! I'm the team vice captain. You're a small Cafe manager. 1800 every month. Ha ha ha ha. Hilarious, too hilarious!! HA HA HA HA."

Ye Xiu silently stared at him. He didn't say a word. Liu Hao cruelly laughed. Chen Yehui also smiled with him. Wang Ze and Fang Fengran hid behind them with unnatural expressions, not saying a word.

"You two!" Ye Xiu suddenly opened his mouth.

Liu Hao immediately held back his laughter. He wanted to hear what else Ye Xiu was going to say. In the end, Ye Xiu waved his hands at him and his gaze fell behind him: "Move. I'm not talking to you two."

Liu Hao turned his head and looked. Behind him was Wang Ze and Fang Fengran, but there's no way he'd move if Ye Xiu told him to. In the end, Ye Xiu ignored him and minded his own business: "Both of you played badly today. Wang Ze, you still care too much about being beautiful. You have too many unnecessary movements making it easy for the opponents to find an opening. Actually, your opponent today is a good example for you to learn from. Simple and practical. If you can do it like that, then adding on your smooth skill and tempo, you wouldn't lose to anyone one on one. Fang Fengran, you're too careful. You always worry too much about the pros and cons. As a pro player, you should know that the difference between everyone's reaction speed and hand speed is very small. If you always think so much, then you'll obviously have the key moments stolen by your opponents. Using your brain to compete is good, but you think too much. There are times when you need to learn to rely on intuition to make a decision. Intuition isn't as unreliable as you think. It's an accumulation of your experience."

Wang Ze and Fang Fengran stared blankly while hearing this. After listening, they weren't sure how to react. Answer? Or not to answer? In the end, the two could only lower their heads.

"HEY!" Liu Hao had also recovered after foolishly hearing this and suddenly jumped out: "What are you doing? You're still pretending you're the team captain? What qualifications do you have to teach my teammates? AH??"

"And you." Ye Xiu looked towards Liu Hao, "When Sun Xiang's energy was like a rainbow in the second round, did you not realize this? When he was completely relying on his individual strength in the team competition, did you warn him of anything? Did you have a complete plan to deal with Yang Cong's and Xu Bin's combo?"

"I……"

"I always scolded you because you made mistakes. I didn't let you come out because you're still too far off. But I have to admit. You are quite capable. You were actually able to climb your way up like this. Since it's already like this, then work properly. That isn't an easy position. Strength, you need true strength. You can do it!"

"F*ck, you……"

"Okay, the four of you can go back!" Ye Xiu made an order to expel the guests.

"What are you doing? We're here to use the Internet. Give us four computer stations!!" Liu Hao yelled.

Ye Xiu took a newspaper and rolled it up into a tube. He went to something on the wall and tapped at it a few times. But the lighting wasn't good making it difficult to see clearly.

"Little Tang, turn on the lights here." Ye Xiu turned his head.

"Aye!" Tang Rou agreed. After the lights turned on, Ye Xiu once again took the newspaper roll and tapped a clause hanging on the wall. He turned his head and said towards Liu Hao: "Do you see it? The Internet Cafe has the right to refuse any drunk people. I'm so sorry, you four."

"YOU!!!" Liu Hao was furious. They had drunk a bit of alcohol, but they were still far from drunk. How could they be considered drunk people? This guy was clearly using a feather as a banner of command!

Liu Hao was about to argue when Ye Xiu dully said: "Don't be so noisy. You guys are also public figures. If you keep on being noisy, then you guys won't look good."

After saying this, Ye Xiu quietly took out a cigarette from his pocked, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

Liu Hao's gaze was fixed maliciously on Ye Xiu. In the end, he clenched his teeth and turned around: "We're leaving!!"

"I won't send you guys off." Ye Xiu lit his cigarette. His eyes followed them as they left.

Tang Rou had stopped playing long ago. She had quietly watched the entire scene. After seeing Ye Xiu puff out some smoke, she noticed that his face looked a bit sad and then immediately returned back to his usual half-dead, lazy look.

"Who were they?" Tang Rou still asked.

"They were former colleagues." Ye Xiu dully said.

"People from the Glory pro scene?" Tang Rou asked.

"Yeah." Ye Xiu said.

"Were they famous?" Tang Rou said.

"They were quite famous. You actually said you didn't recognized them, making them look like they lost a lot of face, did you know that?" Ye Xiu smiled.

"I can't do anything about that." Tang Rou said helplessly, "I only know two pro-players from Glory. They were both often talked about by Guo Guo. One is called Su Mucheng and the other is called Ye Qiu."

"Ha ha." Ye Xiu laughed.

"Especially that Su Mucheng. Guo Guo really likes her! She even had a few ads of Su Mucheng hanging on her wall!" Tang Rou said.

"Oh? It doesn't like look they're gone now." Ye Xiu recalled.

"You've been in Guo Guo's room?" Tang Rou was astonished.

"Once, when I helped bring her a blanket." Ye Xiu immediately explained in order to avoid her making the mistake that he was some kind of guy that looked to steal stuff from a girl's room.

"Oh, she fell asleep on the sofa again?" Tang Rou was experienced.

"Yeah, is she always like that?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Pretty much everyday. She's probably sleeping on the sofa right now……" Tang Rou said.

"Shouldn't you go check on her?" Ye Xiu said.

"You're fine?"

"Me? Do you really think I'm not?" Ye Xiu asked a question in reply.

"They……"

"Ha ha. It was just a small scene. I can sail against any strong storm!" Ye Xiu laughed.

"Then that's good." Tang Rou said and went upstairs. Ye Xiu watched her back and smiled. This girl had a good heart. She was even afraid that he wasn't feeling good and talked about this and that to accompany him for a bit.

Tang Rou went up and came back down after a short while. After coming over, she declared: "My guesses were correct. She was asleep on the sofa."

"Tsk tsk." Ye Xiu sighed. His hands were already focused on playing the game.

Tang Rou also continued to run the dungeon non-stop. After quietly playing for awhile, she suddenly asked: "Will they come back later?"

"No." Ye Xiu said.

"Why? I feel that because they know that you're here as a Cafe manager……" Tang Rou didn't finish. She knew that Ye Xiu also saw those people's true intentions. When those people saw Ye Xiu, they wanted to go to a computer station even more. They would have used the opportunity to order him about as a servant in the Internet Cafe.

"Because it's not convenient." Ye Xiu said.

"Why is it not convenient?" Tang Rou didn't understand.

"Think about it. If a professional sports star randomly appeared on a crowded field, what do you think would happen?" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh……"

"It's the same. The Internet Cafe is a place where many Glory players gather. If they randomly appeared here, what would happen? Wouldn't there be a crowd around them? They'd be even more bothered by it than me." Ye Xiu laughed.

"I understand." Tang Rou immediately thought of the four guys from before who had first looked around to see if anyone was there.

"Don't worry about this. Hurry up and level." Ye Xiu said.

"I'm Level 20." Tang Rou announced.

"Oh?" Ye Xiu turned his head. Soft Mist had already reached Level 20.

"Change classes and then go to Frost Forest." Ye Xiu said.
