Hu Die Lan
Chapter 691 A Day of Bumper Harvest
"How did these four team up?" Several core leaders began to discuss the issue. Lan He didn't participate further, nodded to the others, and left.
Why did they team up?
Although Lan He had no proof, his intuition told him it was related to that guy. If he facilitated it, with his status in Glory, he could indeed keep them in line.
This truly keeps them in line...
Lan He recalled how three guilds had rushed in, helping the He Wu Guild quickly kill the Boss without hesitation or calculation, and then the four left together. Those days of close cooperation without strife were truly enviable!
Ye Qiu must be the main factor in their cooperation. Although Lan He had no evidence, he was sure of it. He realized this, but the other core leaders hadn't noticed. Naturally, Lan He wouldn't share this with them. After leading his team away, he immediately told Chun Yi Lao, the leader of Blue Brook Guild, the news.
"Damn!" The important information made Chun Yi Lao use a curse word to express his feelings. Anything involving Ye Qiu or Jun Mo Xiao could immediately ruin his mood, without fail.
That capable man never seemed to bring them anything good, did he?
Chun Yi Lao vaguely recalled. Perhaps there was some good, but the damage caused was always greater. Any good deeds were easily forgotten.
And this time, he was bringing them another headache. Four small guilds teaming up? It sounded troublesome! Chun Yi Lao quickly tried to find spies to confirm this information. However, these small and medium-sized guilds weren't their main competitors, so while they had cast a wide net and placed characters in those guilds, no one regularly monitored them. Now that they suddenly needed to mobilize those resources, they couldn't even remember where the spy accounts were. Chun Yi Lao was getting increasingly frustrated.
Other major guilds also received reports from their core leaders about the four small guilds forming an alliance to kill Bosses. Everyone took this news seriously and rummaged through their spy accounts to figure things out.
Soon, some spies reported back. After all, this kind of alliance to kill Bosses wasn't a secret that needed to be sealed. Everyone would see through it after a few tries. So everyone in the four guilds knew about it, and Ye Qiu's involvement wasn't a secret either. It was an unparalleled source of confidence.
But this news was a bolt from the blue for the major guilds. What was going on? Why was that guy popping up again? And this time, he had made such a big move, bringing along four guilds. Was he launching a peasant uprising?
The major guilds began to feel uneasy.
At first, they didn't take it seriously when they heard that the four small guilds had teamed up. In their competitive circle, there were only eternal interests, not eternal friends. But hearing that Ye Qiu was leading them made everyone unable to calm down.
He made a mess again without anyone noticing!
The guilds thought with tearful faces. But the system wouldn't sympathize with their feelings. Wild Bosses would still spawn.
Sure enough, shortly after the Sea Rover Gan Lie was killed, another Boss spawned.
This time it was smaller, a level 55, the Cultivationist Mage Zhen Mo in the Howling Desert.
The level 55 Boss was naturally easier, and the Cultivationist Mage Zhen Mo was a very simple Battle Mage, unlike many Bosses with multiple elements. This made the NPC easier to kill.
Upon receiving the news, the guilds still sent teams to the nearest location, but now that they knew about the four-guild alliance and Ye Qiu's involvement, they were very concerned about the battle situation.
But to bring an elite team to fight over a level 55 wild Boss seemed beneath them!
"Let's observe," the guild leaders thought similarly, treating the newly spawned level 55 Boss as a touchstone to observe the situation.
But this time, they didn't see the four guilds appear, nor did they see Jun Mo Xiao.
As for Ye Xiu and his group, they only learned about the wild Boss spawning from the world system announcement. This time, the four guilds didn't encounter the Boss. This was actually not that surprising. Level 55 was a low-level map, so not many players would be there. Even if they sent people for wild Bosses, they couldn't occupy every corner of the map.
Finding wild Bosses still relied on luck. Having more people only reduced the impact of luck. No guild had enough people to occupy every corner of the Heavenly Domain, so they would know as soon as a Boss spawned. There was a time gap between a Boss spawning and being found.
This time, the Cultivationist Mage Zhen Mo spawned closer to the main city, so it was quicker to gather people. Level 55 Bosses were usually killed as soon as they were found, without much ceremony. So this time, the first to arrive, Herb Garden, killed it. The other major guilds fought a little over the loot, but quickly stopped after the Boss was killed and dispersed. The allied forces the guild leaders were worried about didn't appear this time.
One Boss had passed, but everyone's minds wouldn't calm down because of it. Everyone knew that a long and endless struggle had just begun...
A morning passed, and no Bosses respawned. Everyone was uncertain about what the upcoming competition would be like. But then, the flames of the world war ignited again.
The cause was still the same old issues of supporting their respective teams. However, players played at different times. The batch who watched the matches last night and then logged into the game had already fought. Now, starting from dawn, players logged on one after another, fresh and eager to discuss yesterday's matches. This led to arguments, then to taunts, then to fights. More and more people joined in, forcing the big guilds to once again throw themselves into the war to unite their fans.
This time, the war wouldn't be easily stopped. Every day, from morning to night, the number of online players increased. More and more people logged on and joined the battle. Many of those who had been fighting shirtless last night, lamenting and sighing, were reignited when they merged into this environment.
Wei Chen came to the training room in the afternoon, logged into the game, received the message, cursed "damn," and then nervously joined the battle.
The Bosses that spawned on this day naturally benefited the newly formed allied forces again. And every club guild now knew about their alliance. During the Boss hunts that day, they encountered some other small and medium-sized guilds, but this time, Ye Xiu and his group didn't recruit any new members.
Four was enough. Any more, and the materials would be divided into too small amounts, which wouldn't be worthwhile. Grabbing Bosses was a means, but the goal was development! If the Boss drops were distributed so thinly, the end result might be that no one could develop.
Now, with five guilds sharing, each guild received three to five materials from each Boss, which was the accepted minimum. Any less, and they would be unhappy.
By the time Ye Xiu and his group logged off in the evening, seven more Bosses had spawned that day, including three level 70, two level 65, one level 60, and one level 55, all of which ended up in the allied forces' pockets. In the competition, the other small and medium-sized guilds were so weak that they posed no threat.
The four guild leaders were both excited and relieved.
Excited because the past two days had been very fruitful, and relieved that they could join the alliance. Especially Zhao Hua and He Wu, who had hesitated before, now wanted to burn incense and worship their own wisdom. Looking at the pitiful state of the other small and medium-sized guilds, was it because they were weak? No, their strength was definitely not weaker than any of the four guilds. The only difference was that they hadn't joined the alliance.
Watching these small and medium-sized guilds struggle and still fail to grab Bosses, the guild leaders were deeply moved. They had also been this miserable when competing with the big guilds for wild Bosses. But as miserable as they were, no one would welcome them out of sympathy.
In essence, their alliance was purely for profit. There was no good or evil in the competition for wild Bosses. It was purely competition. Although the means used in the competition were diverse, the essence of the competition was fair. Although some guilds were stronger than others, strength had its reasons. The big guilds were strong because of years of accumulation. They had put in effort, fought hard, and seized opportunities to reach their current state.
They monopolized wild Bosses, which the small and medium-sized guilds hated, but that wasn't right or wrong. If the small and medium-sized guilds had that ability, they would definitely monopolize them without hesitation.
All of this was better described as the ruthlessness of professional competition.
Besides killing several Bosses again that day, they also did a lot of scavenging with Tang Rou and Bao Zi. Accidents were inevitable. In such a tragic battlefield, Tang Rou's Soft Mist died once, and Bao Zi, being clumsy, died three times. Although Ye Xiu didn't die, he was careful not to carry the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella when scavenging.
There were losses, but the gains were even greater. The three who specialized in elite battlefields picked up countless gorgeous equipment from the elite teams of the major guilds. Their inventories were almost full.
This equipment would be put into the guild warehouse after the Happy Guild was established. Chen Guo admired it and knew that their guild would have a very high starting point. The elite teams of the major guilds! Their equipment was hard for ordinary players to obtain. These were the unique benefits that the major guilds used to maintain popularity. But now, the newly established Happy Guild would directly have them. Scavenging... was really a good way to get rich quickly? Chen Guo thought.
