Chapter 217 The Face of Deceit

You Ge was still worried. Zhan Wushang’s teleport scroll escape plan had inspired him. Han Family Young Master could definitely come up with an equally shameless plan. So, he ran to ask Han Family Young Master, only to receive a middle finger and a scornful remark: “You’re truly shameless.”

You Ge was heartbroken. What’s the plan then? Just tell me, okay? Anyone else can endure, but I’ll be killed by curiosity! Unable to satisfy his curiosity, You Ge became listless. Several times, he was almost killed by monsters in a daze, thanks to the other experts who repeatedly saved him.

The Valley of Clouds wasn’t a place for anything special. Except for Fine Waist Dance, who became addicted to the new efficient leveling method like everyone else, the others all returned. After returning to the Level 50 leveling area, everyone continued to level up. Gu Fei returned to the main city again, because he had to log off again… The Valley of Clouds was quite far, and this back-and-forth trip had already taken up several hours. Gu Fei usually wouldn’t waste so much time on his own, but this time it was with everyone. And since there were slowpokes in the team, the entire evening was wasted and nothing was accomplished.

“Are these guys confident, or what?” Reflections of the Past was also a suspicious person, constantly thinking about the impending attack from the Twenty-Six City guilds. Seeing Very Heaven’s attitude, he was also puzzled and discussed it with No Oath and Silent Walker.

“They’re going to run,” No Oath whispered.

“What? Run? How?” Reflections of the Past asked.

“Teleport scrolls,” No Oath said. “Think about it, the players from the Twenty-Six Cities are mobilizing their entire guilds, so they definitely can’t afford teleport scrolls. But Very Heaven is rich, and they don’t have many people. They can afford to teleport. These guys come all the way to kill them, and they just teleport away easily, then wait for news. Damn, it’s killing without bloodshed! If I was the one who traveled all that way, I’d want to die.”

“Are you guessing, or what?” Reflections of the Past asked.

“I saw it,” No Oath said. “Earlier in the Valley of Clouds, I saw Zhan Wushang show You Ge something. It was a teleport scroll, no doubt. They’re planning to wait for people to arrive, then teleport away, pissing them off.”

“Damn, how shameless!” Silent Walker exclaimed.

“Yeah, no wonder we never gained the upper hand when fighting against them. We’re just too righteous,” Reflections of the Past said.

“Yeah, we’re too righteous!” The three of them hugged and cried.

On Very Heaven’s side, after leveling resumed, Han Family Young Master spoke in the guild channel: “Just now, You Ge came up with a pretty shameless idea. Let’s hear what everyone thinks.”

“Uh?” Everyone looked over.

“You Ge, tell us your shameless idea again,” Han Family Young Master said.

“Damn, it was Wushang’s idea,” You Ge quickly defended himself.

“What is it?” Zhan Wushang asked. He really didn’t know what they were talking about.

“Teleport scrolls,” You Ge reminded him.

“Teleport scrolls? What’s that?” This time Zhan Wushang knew, but he pretended not to. This idea had already been labeled as shameless, so let You Ge take the blame!

You Ge cried. There was no way to deal with such shamelessness! He had to explain the facts himself.

“Wow, so cheap! As expected of You Ge, to come up with such an idea,” Yutian Shenming said.

“It was Wushang,” You Ge weakly insisted.

“Uh, changing to another main city, traveling, killing monsters, that’s not bad either…” Yun Zhongmu was now a member of the elite group. The mercenary group channel had become Very Heaven’s high-level meeting room. Not only Yun Zhongmu, but also guild mainstays like Yun Xiang had been added. Yun Xiang was quite excited at the time. Joining this mercenary group was something he had dreamed of for a long time.

Running away wasn’t Yun Zhongmu’s style, but now that he was mixed in with this team, he felt it was necessary to learn the shameless tactics that these people sometimes displayed. So, he commented on this shameless idea from an admirer's perspective, even though he also despised how despicable it was.

“You Ge, try to contact them and see if you can get that many teleport scrolls,” Han Family Young Master said.

“Can’t we get them?” You Ge asked doubtfully, but he still did it. He immediately sent a message, contacting Yunteng Studio, with whom they often did business lately.

“Yunteng doesn’t have any stock. Damn, it looks like we bought them all out,” You Ge said. Since they had made a fortune, everyone kept teleport scrolls on hand, and they had used many during the big battle, all bought from Yunteng.

Of course, You Ge knew more than just Yunteng Studio. He then contacted two more, but both replied that they had no stock.

“That’s strange! I asked two more and they don’t have any stock. What’s going on? Have all the teleport scrolls been bought up?” You Ge said, then suddenly realized, “Could it be that the guys from the Twenty-Six Cities bought them all? They’re pretending to walk here, but they’re actually going to teleport directly?”

“You Ge, can you stop having these sudden, crazy thoughts?” Han Family Young Master said, “I’d believe it if one guild had a wealthy patron who pulled off such a large purchase, but twenty-six guilds, each with such a patron?”

“Then what’s going on?” You Ge said.

“Nothing, it’s just that my deduction has become a reality once again,” Han Family Young Master said.

“What?”

“We’ve made enemies of all the studios,” Han Family Young Master said.

“So, I can’t buy teleport scrolls now because these studios are restricting us from leaving?” This time You Ge understood.

“When we released Qian Li, I guessed that they might join forces to become our enemy. After all, they’re studios, and this has cut off their source of income. How could they not fight back?” Han Family Young Master said.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. What kind of wording was that? Released Qian Li? Was Qian Li a dog? Fortunately, Qian Li wasn’t here now, or he would definitely beat you into one.

“But aren’t we targeting Yingqi?” You Ge said.

“Baishi’s efficient leveling method only cooperated with Yunteng, but the efficient leveling methods that appeared after the thirty cities weren’t Yunteng’s brand. Clearly, more and more studios are involved in this business, but these studios can only be considered distributors. They don’t have the technology to develop efficient leveling methods. However, Yingqi’s later involvement is different. Yingqi also has the technology to develop efficient leveling methods,” Han Family Young Master said.

“Also, have you noticed? Baishi Jinglun, who used to be online for a very long time, hasn’t appeared for several days in a row. I asked Jian Nan You and they said that development work has been suspended for now,” Han Family Young Master said.

“Why don’t you ask Yunteng?” You Ge asked.

“The people at Yunteng have closed their messages,” Han Family Young Master said.

“There really is a problem! But how did Yingqi get mixed up with Yunteng now? Are they planning to join forces to deal with us?” You Ge said.

“Don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re not that big a deal to Yunteng. Perhaps we’re just a knife used to deal with Yingqi. We used Yunteng to give Yingqi a lot of blows, but at the same time, Yunteng has gained even more benefits from it. That’s why they’re willing to help us in secret. Otherwise, what do you think it is? Friendship?” Han Family Young Master said.

“I see,” You Ge said silently. He admitted that Han Family Young Master was being very realistic, but this reality wasn’t very welcome.

“We don’t know what’s happening on the studio side, but from the fact that teleport scrolls aren’t being traded to you at all, this matter definitely has a studio behind it,” Han Family Young Master said.

“Then what if someone else goes to buy them?” You Ge said.

“Don’t worry, they must have temporarily stopped the teleport scroll business,” Han Family Young Master said.

“What if it’s really not our people?”

“For large-scale purchases, they’ll know who it is. Don’t forget that all the studios are working together now, so the intelligence network will be terrifyingly large. As for small-scale purchases, it doesn’t matter if they’re rejected. That little bit isn’t a big deal to the studios,” Han Family Young Master said.

“Well, is your curiosity satisfied now?” Han Family Young Master asked.

“Would you die if you didn’t look down on people?” You Ge said, depressed.

“After saying so much, how do we solve this problem?” Zhan Wushang asked.

“In actual combat, it’ll still come down to people in the end. The studios can only push from behind. Let them push!” Han Family Young Master laughed.

“What does that mean?” A bunch of people asked each other.

“Damn, he’s just acting mysterious. What does it mean?” Zhan Wushang said.

“Everyone, don’t worry, nothing will happen this time,” Jian Gui suddenly chimed in.

Everyone was shocked. Even Jian Gui had spoken up. What made him so confident?

“Jian Gui, what’s going on?” Instantly, Jian Gui received private messages from all his brothers.

In a distant land, Bao Du Feng Shuang and the others’ guilds had already conquered city after city on their expedition. Bao Du Feng Shuang maintained contact with his brothers, and everyone was making good progress. This journey was peaceful, and the team’s morale was high. Clearly, the rumors in the main city in recent days had hurt everyone deeply.

“Qian Li Yizui hasn’t appeared either,” Some people were still worried that the crazy combo that Qian Li Yizui had brought last time would come out again to cause trouble, but no one had encountered them.

“See you in Moon Night City!”

“See you in Moon Night City.”

Several days later, the expeditionary force successively arrived at Moon Night City. Here, the big shots who had been bullied for the first time and the guild leaders finally gathered. The group army conference of this expedition was officially convened for the first time.

At the meeting, the representatives of each guild first strongly condemned Very Heaven. Although Very Heaven was actually passively defending, at this moment, no one would object to saying anything bad about Very Heaven.

The second important item was to agree on the online time for the next day. Everyone prepared to go online together tomorrow, kill through the leveling area, and set off for Cloud End City.

Afterward, each guild logged off, shouting slogans.

At the same time, Very Heaven and the studios both received news: They have arrived at Moon Night City.

===============================

Let the updates come more fiercely! Today I’ve been busy shouting these things, and it seems like I haven’t shouted for votes at all. I’ve updated so much, it’s ridiculous not to shout for votes, shout for votes!
