Hu Die Lan
Chapter 975 Of Course, Number One Under Heaven
Brother You was still trying to squeeze some gold coins out of Hongchen Yixiao, but after the matter of the martial arts tournament was mentioned, Ye Xiaowu was already like a lost soul. Brother You almost had to shout in his ear to get his attention.
"Sorry, thank you." Suddenly snapping back to his senses, Ye Xiaowu handed another money bag to Brother You, and left in a daze.
"This..." Brother You was puzzled. Why did he suddenly give me another money bag? A service fee? A tip? Is this guy crazy? Brother You opened the money bag and saw there were a full hundred gold coins, so he stopped trying to figure it out and left happily.
Martial arts tournament, huh? Ye Xiaowu walked down the street in a daze.
Compared to ordinary players like Brother You, Ye Xiaowu, who came from a game company's planning department, could see the deeper meaning of this martial arts tournament.
Game companies were not blind to the actions of these professional martial artists who were overwhelmingly strong in the game and could come up with things like efficient leveling methods. They also did not welcome these people becoming the focus of attention in the game, undermining the confidence of ordinary players, and disrupting the original rules of the game.
Ye Xiaowu chased after Qianli Yizui all day, talking about balance and trying to harmonize this guy's strength, but the result was the opposite, and he only ended up with a bruised face.
What about the game company? They didn't talk about any of this, they just used their simulation technology to hold a martial arts tournament for the martial artists, and directly caught them all in one fell swoop.
Ye Xiaowu only wanted to stop Qianli Yizui, always treating Qianli Yizui as if he was going against him, but he never thought about what Qianli Yizui wanted, what he was pursuing.
He hadn't thought about this, but the game company had.
The martial arts tournament was just the beginning. As long as this martial arts tournament was successful and the martial artists were satisfied, this kind of cooperation could continue. The game company completely used their technology to provide these martial artists with a platform. A simple online interactive game that didn't need scenery, tasks, equipment, bosses, or NPCs, just an interactive simulation platform. Anyone would sneer at it, but it was exactly what these martial artists needed.
With a platform they needed even more, how many people would come back to this online game world?
At least from the current situation of the martial arts tournament, Qianli Yizui had disappeared for a long time.
He might still come back to the game for a while, but he would never have the same enthusiasm he once had. No... it should be said that Qianli Yizui had never been enthusiastic about this game, it was just a choice he had made out of desperation. Now, the game company in the parallel world had given them a better choice. Why would they continue to stay for something they didn't love? Even if they returned to the game, it would only be a kind of memorial, not a continuation.
Was I just busy for nothing? Boss... you are still one step ahead. Looking up at the blue sky of the parallel world, Ye Xiaowu finally smiled. Although everything he had done seemed to be the antics of a clown, the situation he had hoped for had finally arrived. He didn't care about the process, as long as there was such a result, then everything was fine. Qianli Yizui, I have no feud with him, I'm just talking about the matter! Speaking of which, he was a very good person. Ye Xiaowu recalled the scene when he first met Qianli Yizui, when that person saved him in a perverted way.
"This is very good, really..." Ye Xiaowu smiled, and a white light enveloped him as he logged out of the game.
Too many players didn't know about these unknown but significant events that had happened these days. They were entangled in the fact that they couldn't use efficient leveling methods, they scolded, argued, and complained, and finally had to give up. Some people asked the studios, but all the studios said that this business was over.
The players in Yunduan City were hoping that their great expert Qianli Yizui would come out and popularize it again, but as the days passed, everyone's expectations never came to fruition. Everyone gradually began to forget about it and continued their daily lives of leveling up, farming equipment, and running quests.
The Very Heaven guild in Yunduan City was developing rapidly. Recently, nothing had troubled them, and the guild had entered a stage of steady development. Those applying to join Very Heaven were not just players from Yunduan City, but also experts from other main cities who had come because of their reputation. Many of them were old friends of Sword Demon and the others.
Sword of No Oath could only envy and hate this. His All Directions guild was only well-known in Yunduan City. Outside of this main city, no one knew who they were.
After the old-school experts like Sword Demon began to focus on developing the guild, their network of contacts further expanded. Although they still didn't have the high-level scale of All Directions, when talking about the number one guild in Yunduan City, no one would mention All Directions anymore, and they would immediately say Very Heaven.
The great experts had to lead teams to level up, farm equipment, do guild quests, and stand up for their troublesome younger brothers every day. They were all as busy as dogs, and the leisurely mercenary life of the past never returned. Occasionally, when they sat together, they would miss that leisurely time. However, they didn't find the current situation boring. This was just another way to play the game. They hadn't played this way before, but that didn't mean they didn't like it.
However, Qianli Yizui, the treasure of the guild, had not returned since he left before the martial arts tournament. Many new members who had joined the guild were hoping to see this great god in person, which made Sword Demon and the others feel very embarrassed. They hadn't seen this boss for a long time either.
Sword of No Oath and the others eventually noticed that the great expert Qianli Yizui had not been in the game for a long time. After a long time, the scars healed and the pain was forgotten. Sword of No Oath was already envious and hateful of Very Heaven! Seeing that Very Heaven no longer had Qianli Yizui in charge, he felt that the strength of the two sides was not too different, so his thoughts began to stir again, thinking that he could not just sit idly by and watch Very Heaven grow stronger.
So, there were some small frictions between the two sides. When it came time for the high-level core figures to meet, the kid Sword of No Oath once again relied on the relationships he had built up in the past, and said with a laugh that it was all a misunderstanding.
Sword Demon was a kind person. When Sword of No Oath pulled at their relationship and talked about friendship, he wouldn't say anything more.
But not everyone in Very Heaven was as kind as Sword Demon.
In a small friction in a leveling area, two leveling teams from All Directions, totaling 24 people, and three leveling teams that came to support them, totaling 58 people, were all wiped out by Very Heaven, and some were even hunted down afterwards.
This group of new forces cultivated by All Directions were fearless newborn calves who had forgotten some of the president's rules. They actually provoked the leveling group led by YZWW in the leveling area...
Such a large-scale conflict naturally required the high-level leaders to sit down and negotiate again. When Young Master Han shook Sword of No Oath's hand and said, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding," Sword of No Oath could only shed tears.
The two sides still didn't tear each other apart, and continued to fight and quarrel every day, holding high-level meetings. The other guilds in Yunduan City helped this one today and talked about that one tomorrow. Sometimes they helped the reasonable side regardless of whether they were related, and sometimes they helped the related side regardless of whether they were reasonable.
That's how the game was, there was no right or wrong. Everyone enjoyed the various chaotic disputes, and no one dared to say that they could completely defeat anyone. Isn't it just a game? Falling down thousands of times, standing up from the resurrection point thousands of times.
However, as the disputes continued, there would always be times when they escalated. The continuous losses recently had made Sword of No Oath a little irrational. He decided to launch a higher-level attack to give the core members of Very Heaven a lesson. As for how serious the consequences this attack would cause, Sword of No Oath was no longer considering it, because he was irrational now!
Everything was changing, but Xiao Lei's Bar was the stronghold of the Very Heaven's high-level members. This had never changed. Sword Demon, Young Master Han, Zhan Wushang, Brother You, and Yutian Shenming were sitting in the old five ancestors' private room, and they heard a commotion outside. Yutian Shenming, who was by the door, stuck his head out to take a look, and then withdrew it, saying, "A lot of masked people..."
"It's that kid Sword of No Oath again!" Zhan Wushang said.
"Old Yun slaughtered more than 50 of them again yesterday," Yutian Shenming said.
"Alas, I've already hinted to him that if he wants to cause trouble, don't go to Old Yun's place. He's already suffered once, why can't he listen?" Brother You sighed.
"People think you're showing off!" Zhan Wushang said.
"Damn, when have I, Brother You, ever shown off!" Brother You stood up and said.
"Your name is enough to show off. Everyone calls you Brother when they see you," Zhan Wushang said.
While the five of them were arguing, Xiao Lei sent a message of friendship: "They're almost at your door!"
Xiao Lei was a professional businessman. He was not flustered at this time. He was lying on the bar, counting how many tables had been turned over so he could calculate the bill later, while casually giving people a little convenience.
"Don't need to call people, right? Hold on for a while, it'll be fine soon," Zhan Wushang said.
"Yeah, almost there," Brother You also nodded.
The five of them rolled up the curtain and rushed out of the private room. Sure enough, there was a pile of masked people outside, pondering how to launch an attack. When they saw the five of them rushing out on their own initiative, they didn't say a word and went up.
The five veterans, who had experienced hundreds of battles, were not flustered even when facing more enemies than themselves. They each stood in their positions, standing against the wall to prevent being surrounded.
The masked people couldn't take down the five of them, and they knew that Very Heaven's reinforcements would arrive at any time, so they were also very anxious. Just as they were getting into the swing of things, they suddenly heard someone enter the tavern behind them and say, "What's going on? It's only been a short time since I've been here, and the atmosphere has become so bad?"
The masked people turned their heads and saw the person who had come. Half of them were already petrified. The other half were the legendary fearless newborn calves. They glanced at the "Very" character on the guild badge on the person's chest, and without saying a word, they picked up their weapons and went up.
"Oh, this is gonna be big..." Even Xiao Lei felt it was too horrible to look at and closed his eyes.
Of the six who surrounded him, three were immediately killed. Those who were fast on their feet were always so tragic in front of this person.
Then, with a sway, this person had already reached a table in the tavern, pointing at the five people who were resisting the enemy in the corner and laughing, "You guys are really bad! Are you this miserable without me?"
The faces of the five people immediately turned dark, and they all gave him the middle finger.
"I said there was no need to wait for him, this is making him look good..."
"Damn, waiting or not, he's the fastest to come, what can we do..."
There were still newborn calves who wanted to pounce on him, but they had already been stopped by the half of the people who had been petrified earlier.
"Withdraw!" Someone said in a deep voice.
"Withdraw? The president said this time it's a fight to the death!" The newborn calves were full of vigor.
"Don't worry, the president will understand," someone said.
"Why?"
"Because this person is called Qianli Yizui..." The person who said this sounded very sad, as if he had already foreseen that their guild was coming to an end.
"The legendary Qianli Yizui?" The newborn calves opened their mouths wide.
Gu Fei turned his head and glanced at them, "Has it been that long? I've become a legend?"
"You're back, old man! You're busy, you're remembered, we're just passing by..." A bunch of masked people disappeared in a flash.
The five great experts felt very bad! The comparison was too outrageous. This person hadn't appeared for so long, and as soon as he showed up, he scared everyone away. The deterrent force of his name alone was stronger than the five of them combined? This was really annoying.
"Come down, everyone's gone, still standing on the table posing!" Young Master Han threw a wine bottle at Gu Fei's feet.
Gu Fei was quick-witted and quick-handed, and the strength was just right. He flicked his sword, and the wine bottle flew spinning.
Young Master Han's reaction was also not slow. He quickly shrank his head and dodged the tragedy of being hit in the head.
Zhan Wushang and Yutian Shenming were secretly laughing, it had been too long since they had seen this person suffer a loss.
Gu Fei waved his hand, and a few gold coins flew towards Xiao Lei in a sparkling manner, "Enough?"
Xiao Lei picked up the gold coins and shook his head repeatedly, "Actually, I really don't want to see you. With you, the excitement ends too quickly."
"That's for sure, I've become a legend," Gu Fei said.
"How was the martial arts tournament? What happened?" Sword Demon asked.
"Need you even ask?" Gu Fei smiled, "Of course, I'm the number one in the world."
