Chapter 1 Fame from Dungeon Records

After dungeon records brought him fame, especially after the record for the Graveyard of Buried Bones remained unbroken, more and more people added Lord Grim as a friend. There were those from large guilds, those from small guilds, and even those of a personal nature.

The large guilds, like Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition, naturally wanted to hire Ye Xiu for long-term power leveling; the small guilds were more likely to talk about opportunities and development, about not being able to stand out in the large guilds, trying to lure Ye Xiu in as a newbie; those of a personal nature wanted to get close, hoping to get help from a master. Ye Xiu navigated among all sorts of players, pushing away those he should push away, perfunctorily dealing with those he should perfunctorily deal with, ignoring those he should ignore, handling everything with ease.

This One Inch Ash, Ye Xiu casually looked at his information. He was a level 23 Ghost Swordsman. Ye Xiu's mind stirred, and he thought of Gray Moon, the Assassin from the Tiny Herb team.

He accepted the friend request and immediately received a message from the other party: "Senior, I'm Qiao Yifan, Gray Moon the Assassin from Tiny Herb."

"It really is." Ye Xiu thought as he replied, "Oh, it's you!"

"Yes, I want to try playing a Zhen Gui (Formation Ghost)."

"Why did you level a new account?" Ye Xiu asked, puzzled. In each club, in addition to the competition accounts registered with the Alliance, there were also many other max-level accounts. Usually, there would be accounts with various stat distributions and playstyles. The players could use them however they wanted. It didn't cost much to equip these accounts since they didn't need to be luxuriously geared.

Ye Xiu didn't know the specifics of Qiao Yifan's awkward situation in Tiny Herb.

However, since they were both in the Alliance, everyone knew each other's account characters. Especially this season, since Ye Xiu had played half of it. Assassin… In Ye Xiu's memory, this was a class that Tiny Herb had never used this season, which roughly indicated the player's marginal status in the club.

Of course, it was also possible that he was a new player being cultivated, who wasn't mature enough to be sent out. But after fighting him, Ye Xiu saw that Qiao Yifan's Assassin skills were indeed average, and he couldn't see any potential for development. However, this person's characteristics were obviously very suitable for the Ghost Formation style, so he gave him a few pointers. Aside from that, he didn't have any other intentions.

"Uh… If I'm here, I hope I can get guidance from you, Senior," Qiao Yifan said.

Ye Xiu paused. What kind of situation hadn't he seen in his many years in the pro scene? Although he didn't ask and Qiao Yifan didn't say, he had basically guessed the other party's awkwardness from his behavior.

"How long have you been playing Glory?" Ye Xiu asked.

"More than a year," Qiao Yifan replied.

"Oh." Newbies have it hard, Ye Xiu sighed. Ye Xiu had heard of Tiny Herb's Gao Yingjie, who was said to be the successor to Wang Bu Liu Xing. And whenever such a genius appeared, they would unintentionally overshadow many of their companions. Like the current Qiao Yifan, he wasn't without potential, but when compared to a genius, he seemed dull and unremarkable, which was, without a doubt, a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu understood how difficult it was for a marginal character like Qiao Yifan to make the decision to change classes. To put it seriously, it could even be said to be a decision that gambled his career. And the one making this decision was just a teenager.

This child's current choice was relatively moderate and ambiguous. On one hand, he would continue playing the Assassin in the club. On the other hand, he would secretly practice Ghost Formations to see if he really had the talent for it. Being a long-term marginal character had severely undermined the child's confidence, which could be seen from his cautious playstyle. Yesterday, Ye Xiu had reminded him to be more courageous. It wasn't easy for him to have reached this point.

Seeing that the senior god only gave a simple "Oh," Qiao Yifan was very uneasy. Just as he was wondering what the god meant, another message arrived.

"For Ghost Formations, you should have some understanding, right? This class develops relatively late. At least at level 40, the characteristics of the Ghost Formation will be manifested. The real practice of the Ghost Formation can only truly begin at that time," Ye Xiu's reply said.

"Yes, I know," Qiao Yifan replied. After all, he was a pro player. It was impossible for him to be completely ignorant of any class. The characteristics of any class, what skills they had, and what those skills did were all basic knowledge for pro players.

"So there's not much that you can practice in terms of Ghost Formation combat in the early stages. I suggest you find someone to power level this account for you. You can do more theoretical work. You can watch the recordings of Void's matches more, and study them carefully," Ye Xiu sent a message.

Void. Qiao Yifan of course knew this team. Although they weren't a top-tier team, they were a regular in the playoffs. Void's captain, Li Xuan, used the Ghost Swordsman Fengshan Guiqi, who was known as the number one Zhen Gui (Formation Ghost) in Glory. Void was the only team in the Alliance that focused on Ghost Formations, which made them quite unique.

"Although Void focuses on Li Xuan's Fengshan Guiqi, the other team members have never coordinated with Fengshan Guiqi's Ghost Formations. Watch more, and see how Li Xuan interprets the situation and uses Ghost Formations to create opportunities for the team to win," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, I understand."

"Have someone else level your account. After it catches up to my level, you can come and join the team to get a feel for it," Ye Xiu said.

"Thank you!! Thank you, Senior!!" Qiao Yifan was overjoyed. He had been somewhat disappointed when Ye Xiu told him to watch the recordings and study them himself. But now that he knew he still had the opportunity to learn from the god up close, he was extremely excited.

Qiao Yifan immediately followed Ye Xiu's advice and began collecting various recordings to study. He found a power leveler for his account, ordered the fastest leveling package, and waited to catch up to Lord Grim's level.

On Ye Xiu's side, Qiao Yifan logged off after sending the message, but he was still chatting with others.

It was Tian Qi and the others who were speaking. At this moment, they had just made a difficult decision.

Ever since witnessing Expert Bro's strength in the newbie village, Tian Qi and the others had always believed that their small guild wasn't qualified to have a god like Expert Bro sit in town. But unfortunately, not all the players in the guild thought so. Seeing that Tian Qi and the others had been on TV with Lord Grim multiple times, they naturally thought that they had a close relationship and were always clamoring for Tian Qi and the others to pull him in.

Tian Qi and the others repeatedly made excuses to decline, but the players in their guild were persistent. Especially the Guild Leader, who was very dissatisfied with their constant rejections.

The others were fine, but a portion of the players, led by the Guild Leader, were old friends from the old server. Now that Tian Qi and the others were constantly in the limelight with Expert Bro, while their other old friends were still struggling under the feet of the big guilds, Tian Qi and the others felt a little embarrassed.

But ask Expert Bro to join their guild? It was a joke no matter how they looked at it. Tian Qi and the others really couldn't bring themselves to say it, but they couldn't stand their guild friends constantly nagging them. In the end, they made a difficult decision to introduce their Guild Leader friend to Expert Bro and let him communicate with Expert Bro himself.

At this time, Tian Qi was telling Ye Xiu about this matter, saying that he would bring a guild friend to play together.

Ye Xiu wouldn't have any objections to this. In the leveling area, Ye Xiu met Tian Qi and the others' Guild Leader friend.

"Hello, Maple Autumn, Guild Leader of the Moonwatch Guild!" Maple Autumn, the Guild Leader of the Moonwatch Guild in the tenth server, introduced himself with extreme confidence. Tian Qi and the others hid far away, their faces covered in tears. Guild Leader of the Moonwatch Guild? Was that a very famous title?

Perhaps Tian Qi and the others had thought so in the past, but ever since they met Expert Bro, their horizons had been infinitely raised. The three major guilds were just clouds in their eyes, and these small and medium-sized guild leaders were even more like clouds that couldn't even float up. Seeing Maple Autumn introducing his identity with such self-satisfaction, treating something that others didn't find impressive as something very impressive, would inevitably lead to even greater embarrassment.

"Oh, hello, hello. You're all friends, huh?" Ye Xiu casually greeted them.

Now it wasn't yet midnight. Not only were Tian Qi and Moonlit Night there, but Dusk Clouds and Shallow Waters were also there. These two were normal humans who only played after dinner every day. Their levels had gradually fallen behind, and they didn't have the opportunity to dungeon with Expert Bro, so they were relatively lonely.

"Yes, we've known each other for a long time. Back in the Realm of Gods…" Maple Autumn began to talk about their past glorious history.

After establishing the tall image of their Moonwatch Guild in front of Ye Xiu, Comrade Maple Autumn changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Brother, you're so skilled. Why don't you join a guild?"

"Oh, a guild… I haven't thought about joining one yet!" Ye Xiu said.

"Couldn't find a suitable one? Actually, you might as well come to our Moonwatch Guild. Our Moonwatch Guild has been in Glory for several years. It's one of the old guilds. Although it can't be compared to some guilds, you know, those big guilds all have professional clubs behind them. It's impossible for our ordinary player-built guilds to reach that height. But leaving aside those with professional implications, our Moonwatch Guild is still very impressive," Maple Autumn said.

"He's pulling! He's really pulling Expert Bro!" Tian Qi tearfully communicated with the others, "I was wrong. I should have pulled him to dungeon together at midnight and let him see Expert Bro's awesomeness. I think he wouldn't be so ignorant then."

"This… Are you sure?" Dusk Clouds said.

"As far as I know, Maple Autumn's biggest characteristic is not knowing his limits," Shallow Waters said.

"So even if he sees Expert Bro's awesomeness, it will only strengthen his determination to pull him in."

"That's right. Do you expect him to understand the principle of a good horse needing a good saddle? He grew up reading fairy tales, so there's no pressure for him to have a poor boy chase a beautiful princess."

"I know, that's why I've always been making excuses, but the guild guys are too annoying. There's nothing I can do. I hope Expert Bro doesn't mind…" Tian Qi said.
