Chapter 135 Talent Cultivation

Che Qianzi didn't overthink it. This Great God Jiexi was known for his unpredictable actions. Trying to decipher Great God Jiexi's intentions was a bit presumptuous. In any case, he couldn't accept the reason that they were forming a team for revenge because they had been at a disadvantage earlier. He couldn't imagine that Great God Jiexi would be so petty.

After asking when Tian Nanxing needed the account cards, Che Qianzi stopped thinking about it and started collecting the accounts.

Bai Ye Hei Zhou, Ghost Swordsman, level 26.

Fallen Angel, Sharpshooter, level 27.

Yunxiao, Battle Mage, level 26.

Hui Yue, Assassin, level 25.

Ye Luo Wu Ti, Witch, level 26.

The next day, Che Qianzi selected five account cards according to the required classes. All were characters above level 25, which was considered high for empty accounts.

The person who came to pick up the account cards that day was a young boy, thin and timid. Che Qianzi didn't doubt his identity at all. When he went to get the account cards, he also brought out a peripheral notebook.

This young boy hadn't yet appeared in any official Glory Alliance matches, but his reputation was no smaller than some of the first-tier players in the Alliance. For a die-hard Tiny Herb fan like Che Qianzi, he was even more familiar.

This young boy was called Gao Yingjie. He was cultivated within Tiny Herb and was said to be the one who would inherit Wang Jiexi and use Wang Bu Liu Xing. So the character he was currently practicing with was also a Witch. Che Qianzi originally thought that the Witch account was for Great God Jiexi, but now it seemed it was for Gao Yingjie.

Che Qianzi wasn't as flustered in front of Gao Yingjie as he was when he saw Wang Jiexi. Gao Yingjie, on the other hand, was a little restrained and looked around nervously.

Che Qianzi took the five account cards and handed them to Gao Yingjie, then took out another peripheral notebook: "Xiao Jie, can you sign an autograph for me!"

"Ah!" Gao Yingjie already looked like he was about to run away after taking the account cards. Hearing Che Qianzi's request, he didn't know what to do for a moment, and his face turned red. Obviously, he didn't have much experience with this sort of thing.

After taking the pen that Che Qianzi handed him, Gao Yingjie still wrote "Gao Yingjie" neatly on the notebook. His hand trembled a little when he signed, and the last stroke of his name was a bit distorted.

"Thank you..." Gao Yingjie hurriedly returned the pen and notebook to Che Qianzi and ran away. It wasn't clear whether this "thank you" was for the account cards or for Che Qianzi's support of him.

Che Qianzi then entered the game. He had already added all five characters as friends and even knew where they were parked. At this time, he wanted to see what the five characters would be used for, but he waited for a long time without seeing them appear. Che Qianzi wasn't an iron man. He had stayed up all night yesterday, and today he had waited for Gao Yingjie to pick up the account cards. He hadn't slept yet, so he finally went to rest first.

At this time in the tenth server, the top-level players finally crossed the level 30 threshold last night. New skills and new equipment naturally meant an improvement in strength. Moreover, starting from level 30, there was also one major change: class sets began to appear. Class sets usually increased the level or power of some skills of the class. In addition, the bonus attributes when the set was complete naturally improved strength to a certain extent. From level 30, it was no longer possible to determine strength based solely on weapons. A character with a complete set would be very different from one without.

Although low-level equipment was ultimately just a transition, for the major guilds that wanted to compete for various records, they had to at least ensure that the output capability of the elite team remained at the first-tier level. These transitional equipment had to be pursued a bit.

Speaking of records, the major guilds' observation of the Graveyard of Burial had basically reached the final moment. Those like Lan He and Ye Du Hantan, who had Lord Grim as a friend, knew that Lord Grim had also reached level 28 after last night. This meant they could no longer go to break the Graveyard of Burial dungeon record. If the Dynasty Guild was somewhat apprehensive about Lord Grim and didn't dare to compete with him for the record, then they should be able to confidently make a move at this time. If they still couldn't change the Graveyard of Burial record now, then it would at least prove that the Dynasty Guild's substitute expert was finally suppressed by Lord Grim. Lord Grim really had the final say on the dungeon records in the tenth server.

Lan He and Ye Du Hantan were the ones who directly had Lord Grim as a friend. The other major guild leaders also had their own methods to inquire about information, staring at the Graveyard of Burial for a day without seeing the record change. It wasn't until dawn, when the new dungeon attempts were released, that everyone watched for another hour or two as if it were the last moment before finally confirming their judgment. Immediately, Lord Grim was truly put on the agenda by the major guilds, and they began to try to win him over.

Lan He was in a advantageous position. He and Lord Grim had cooperated the earliest, and now Lord Grim's team was still listed under Blue Brook Guild. Moreover, he had already hinted at it last time, so this time it was natural to open his mouth: "Brother, what do you think about what we talked about last time?"

"I'll consider it again!" Ye Xiu replied.

"Hehe, brother definitely understands! Now all the guilds know how powerful you are, but if you always hang your name out there and sell your services, then the leaderboards will be full of your name. The guilds won't look good. In the end, it's your Lord Grim who becomes famous, not the guilds. I don't think any guild wants to see that. As for you, brother, I don't think you're seeking fame, are you?" Lan He analyzed quite clearly.

"Yes, you're right. Perhaps I shouldn't use my own account as a substitute," Ye Xiu said.

"Ah..." Lan He was stunned after hearing this. Not using your own account was indeed the spirit of a professional substitute. In fact, the guilds preferred this kind of expert when looking for a substitute. It was common for someone like Lord Grim to directly open their own account to work, but it really hadn't happened when working to break records. To be honest, the guilds could afford experts who could break records. There hadn't been anyone like this Lord Grim who could wipe out the records set by elite teams by a few minutes as soon as he appeared.

"Brother, what are you planning to do..." Lan He tentatively asked.

"That's why I said I'm still considering it!" Ye Xiu said.

"You have to tell me your answer as soon as possible..." Lan He said helplessly. He didn't know what to say for a while.

At the same time, Ye Du Hantan had a similar analysis to Lan He, but he hadn't given a prior hint like Lan He, so he offered a luxurious buyout package. Ye Xiu responded with "I'll consider it" as well.

In addition, there were all sorts of random friend requests. After adding them, they were all from the major guilds. The 20 teams of the Glory Alliance had guilds in the game to support them, and more than half of them had contacted Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu replied with "considering" to all of them, but he didn't see anyone from the Herb Garden.

What to do?

Ye Xiu hesitated. When he said "consider," he wasn't just making excuses. He was really considering. Things weren't developing as smoothly as he expected. Even though Liu Hao's disruption was eventually suppressed, the damage had already been done. For example, Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion were now also being harassed by messages... If it hadn't been for Liu Hao causing trouble, why would Ye Xiu need to bring so many people to collectively sell their services?

Because everyone was being bombarded with messages, the dungeon progress was a bit slow. They were now level 28, and they were playing a new dungeon for levels 28-30: Liuli (literally: drifting/wandering) Land.

The new dungeon was naturally on a new map, and the map was naturally called Liuli Land. According to Glory's setting, this was a gathering place for homeless wanderers who respected the strong and valued power. The monsters in the leveling area were all kinds of wanderers. The dungeon Liuli Land was another gathering place in Liuli Land, described as bringing together the strongest gang of hooligans in Liuli Land.

The dungeon record for Liuli Land had just been broken this morning. The current record was held by Blue Brook Guild. Blue Brook Guild's elite team undoubtedly had level 30 purple weapons and class sets. Looking at this record, Ye Xiu felt that it would take some effort for their current level 28 team to break it. Currently, Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian were familiar with the dungeon, but their skills were lacking. Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion had skills, but this was the first time they had played this dungeon, so they were very unfamiliar with it.

It took more than 2 hours to barely finish three runs. There were only three attempts per day for the Liuli Land dungeon. The group gathered outside the dungeon, preparing to run the Graveyard of Burial dungeon again. Although their levels were higher, the dungeon monsters were elite monsters after all. Plus, the extra rewards for clearing the dungeon meant that the experience gained would be faster than directly grinding small monsters in the Liuli Land leveling area.

Graveyard of Burial, a five-person team had just broken the Graveyard of Burial dungeon record not long ago. The team was composed of Bai Ye Hei Zhou, Fallen Angel, Yunxiao, Hui Yue, and Ye Luo Wu Ti. After the four attempts, the four people looked quite embarrassed. Not to mention the top spot on the record board, the record they finally achieved was far inferior to even the third place.

Although their class levels hadn't reached the level 27 limit for the Graveyard of Burial, there wasn't much difference between 27 and 25. Given their quasi-professional level, it was a bit unreasonable to have such a big gap in the dungeon record.

The five were a little apprehensive. They had already tried their best, but this was still the result. Although their characters weren't fully equipped, each of them had a level 25 purple weapon in their hands. These were originally ordinary empty accounts that the Great God had asked for by name, but Che Qianzi had still shown his appreciation by giving each of them a purple weapon.

"Captain..." One of the five turned back and looked behind them. It was Wang Jiexi of the Tiny Herb team.

"You played well," Wang Jiexi said.

The five looked at each other, wondering if their captain was mocking them.

"We're far from the record..." Gao Yingjie said with shame.

"That's because your strategy is wrong," Wang Jiexi said.

The five looked at each other again. They hadn't made any mistakes. What was wrong?

"To be able to break that record, there must be a new strategy," Wang Jiexi said.

"Oh? Then shall we study it?" One person said.

"Are you kidding me? Is your time for wasting on this?" Wang Jiexi said.

"Then..."

"Go find Lord Grim," Wang Jiexi said.

"And then?"

"Kill him once, and then rest early. In the future, this will be one of your main practice contents," Wang Jiexi said.
