“We do know Kuangzei Nieyan,” Li Rui argued, but he wasn't very good at speaking, couldn't find factual basis, and could only sulk.

“We also know Kuangzei Nieyan, but Kuangzei Nieyan doesn't know us, what can we do?” Mo An glanced at Li Rui beside him and sneered, “If you guys are really familiar with Kuangzei Nieyan, why don't you call him over? Let him boost you a few levels, and running the Dark Swamp dungeon would be a piece of cake, right? Would he even bother with you?”

Li Rui, red-faced and ears burning, wanted to continue arguing with Mo An, but Zhai Hao interrupted him, saying, “Don't argue.”

Li Rui felt a ball of fire in his stomach. He thought about it and realized he had to let it go unless they actually brought Nie Yan over. Otherwise, Mo An and the others wouldn't believe them. Nie Yan treated them as friends, and they didn't want to ask Nie Yan for help because of this kind of thing, making Nie Yan look down on them. If they bragged about their relationship with Nie Yan, what would they become if Nie Yan found out?

Li Rui clearly saw the mockery in Mo An's eyes, but he could only swallow his anger.

“Since it's a groundless matter, don't bring it up again in the future,” Mo Tao said with a mocking smile, “We're still short a few people. See if you can pull over a few mages, high magic damage ones. If you don't have any, I'll find a few friends. They're top-notch in the Dark Ranger Guild. But if they come, we at least have to give them something to show our appreciation, or I'd be embarrassed to ask them.”

Zhai Hao understood that if those people really came, they might demand an exorbitant price. If they could find people on their own side, they should try not to call those people.

“Let's wait a little longer, I'll see if I can find a few brothers from the guild,” Zhai Hao said hesitantly.

“Still waiting? We've been waiting for half an hour already. I don't have time to waste here with you,” Mo An said impatiently.

Hearing their words, Zhai Hao also felt a little agitated. He had finally gathered fifteen people, and if he could find a few more high magic damage mages, they could run the Dark Swamp. Was he just going to give up? He felt a little unwilling and looked at the other brothers and a few classmates from the class, saying apologetically, “Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long.”

“Zhai Hao, you're being too polite. We're all brothers, no need to be so formal. Just keep looking for people, we don't mind waiting,” said Jiang Fan from Class Five. They all understood that unless you had a fixed group, it would take an hour or two to gather a twenty-man team. Even with a fixed group, you would often encounter team members doing quests, making it difficult to gather everyone.

Jiang Fan's words were immediately recognized by everyone. They also understood Zhai Hao's difficulties and weren't as unreasonable as Mo An and the others.

Hearing these people's words, Zhai Hao gritted his teeth and decided to let it go. Even if he lost a little money, he had to get this group together today. He prepared to have Mo Tao bring people from the Dark Ranger Guild. He had no choice but to do this, he couldn't let these brothers wait in vain.

Nie Yan walked over. He had heard some of the conversation and roughly understood the situation. He felt very disgusted with the attitude of Mo Tao, Mo An, and the others.

Seeing a stranger in a black cloak walk into their midst, Zhai Hao and the others were a little puzzled.

Nie Yan lifted his cloak, looked at Zhai Hao, and asked with a slight smile, “Is there anything I can help with?”

“Nie Yan?” Li Rui exclaimed in surprise.

Zhai Hao didn't expect Nie Yan to be here either. The others were even more wide-eyed. Kuangzei Nieyan suddenly coming over to greet them was simply a fantasy, but it really happened!

Zhai Hao was stunned for a moment before he reacted, patting Nie Yan on the shoulder: “Brother, what brings you here?” Suddenly, he thought of something and hesitated, his hand hovering in the air. After all, there was a huge gap between their identities. Nie Yan was the guild leader of Nirvana Flame, a legendary figure, while he was just a small character that no one would notice even if he was thrown into the crowd. Nie Yan passing by and greeting him was already giving him a lot of face.

“I was passing by and didn't expect to run into you guys, so I came over. Are you guys planning to form a group to run a dungeon?” Nie Yan asked, looking at the people behind Zhai Hao.

“We're planning to run the Dark Swamp dungeon.” After saying that, Zhai Hao's expression was slightly awkward. Someone like Nie Yan would naturally not care about a low-level dungeon like the Dark Swamp. Nie Yan was a big shot in Conviction, while they couldn't even find enough people to run the Dark Swamp dungeon. How could he have the face to say it?

Hearing Nie Yan and Zhai Hao's conversation, Mo An's eyes widened, and his face turned red and green. He whispered to Mo Tao and Mo Yan, “Damn, Zhai Hao and the others really know Kuangzei Nieyan! These two aren't even on the same level, how do they know each other?”

“Who knows, I can't figure it out either. Since Zhai Hao and Li Rui know Kuangzei Nieyan, why didn't they argue with us earlier?” Mo Tao couldn't understand either. If they knew Kuangzei Nieyan, they would definitely brag about it. How could they be like Li Rui and Zhai Hao, silently enduring? This was the difference in people. Why would Nie Yan treat Zhai Hao and Li Rui as friends, but look down on Mo Tao, Mo An, and Mo Yan?

“Zhai Hao and Li Rui are really lucky,” Mo An said jealously. With a backer like Nie Yan, wouldn't they have everything they needed? Just grabbing a few pieces of equipment from the Nirvana Flame guild warehouse would be better than the equipment they had.

“Let's go over and try to get close to Kuangzei Nieyan, maybe we can get some benefits from him,” Mo Tao said with bright eyes, looking at Mo Yan, “Mo Yan, it's up to you.”

“I can, but Kuangzei Nieyan has seen all kinds of beauties, would he even bother with me?” Mo Yan's delicate voice sounded a little depressed.

“You never know.”

Thinking about how difficult it was for Zhai Hao and Li Rui to form a group to run the Dark Swamp, Nie Yan felt a little apologetic. He was too busy and didn't have time to pay attention to them. He didn't expect these old brothers to suffer grievances here.

Nie Yan said to Zhai Hao, “If you need any help in the future, don't be polite with me. I'll tell the executive guild leader of Nirvana Flame, and you can go to him if you need anything. His ID is Wang Feng De Wo Niu (Snail Watching the Wind). You're already level sixty-two, go take the Nirvana Flame assessment. If you meet the requirements, join Nirvana Flame. I'll find a few people to bring you to the Dark Swamp.”

Nie Yan sent a message in the guild group chat, saying, “Need five high magic damage mages to take friends to a dungeon, level sixty to sixty-five. If you meet the requirements and have time, type '1'.”

“1.”

“1.”

......

Hundreds of messages immediately flooded the guild group chat, with at least three or four hundred people responding. With Nie Yan's prestige, he naturally had a great response in the guild. He wanted to find people to take his friends to a dungeon, which mage who met the requirements would dare not do their best? Nie Yan had Guo Huai pick five mages who were level sixty to sixty-five, met the requirements, had high magic damage, and were skilled.

Three or four minutes later, five mages arrived, standing neatly in front of Nie Yan, Zhai Hao, and the others. These people all had at least a full set of dark gold equipment. After seeing Nie Yan, they all showed excited expressions.

“Boss!”

“Boss! We're here, are these the people?”

......

Mo An, Mo Tao, Mo Yan, and the others had relatively good equipment among players of the same level, with most of their equipment being gold-grade, but in front of these Nirvana Flame players, they were simply poor people, embarrassingly so. The Nirvana Flame players didn't even bother to look at them.

Nie Yan could still name one or two of these Nirvana Flame players.

“Shao Bing (Pancake), these are my brothers, get to know them, take them to the Dark Swamp dungeon, help them get all the equipment from the Dark Swamp dungeon, and then take them to the Youmeng (Dreamlike) Canyon,” Nie Yan said. With the strength of these five Nirvana Flame mages, taking Zhai Hao and the others to the Dark Swamp dungeon was simply a piece of cake.

There were many things in the Nirvana Flame guild warehouse that Zhai Hao and the others could use, but he understood Zhai Hao and the others' personalities, they wouldn't want anything given to them for free.

“Understood, don't worry, Boss. The Boss's brothers are our brothers. At most one day, we'll guarantee they clear it thirty times and get all the equipment!” The arcane mage named Shao Bing said confidently.

Zhai Hao, Mo Tao, and the others were shocked by Shao Bing's words. Clearing it thirty times in one day was too scary! It would probably take them at least three or four hours each time they ran the Dark Swamp dungeon, and they would often encounter wipes. But listening to Shao Bing's tone, it was as simple as eating a meal. Thinking about it, Shao Bing and the others were all wearing level sixty-five dark gold equipment, even if Zhai Hao and the others didn't attack, the five of them could clear the Dark Swamp.

Nie Yan was so enthusiastic towards Zhai Hao and Li Rui, without any airs of a guild leader. The conversation between the people around them and Nie Yan gradually increased.

Mo Tao and Mo An shamelessly wanted to squeeze in and get close to Nie Yan, but Nie Yan always ignored them. Although these two had been involved in so many things with Nie Yan in his previous life, Nie Yan no longer cared. In this life, they were just small characters and no longer had much interaction with Nie Yan. There was no need to pay attention to them.

Shao Bing and the others saw that Nie Yan had a cold attitude towards these two, and they remembered it in their hearts. Nie Yan didn't like these two people, so they didn't need to give Mo An and Mo Tao a good look either.

As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than the imps.

Shao Bing and the five of them became familiar with Zhai Hao, Li Rui, and the others, calling them brothers warmly. Li Rui also puffed up his chest, and the previous frustration was vented. From now on, they no longer had to suffer Mo An, Mo Tao, and Mo Yan's nonsense.
