Chen Guo was dumbfounded.

This Deceitful Mouse was too miserable! At night, there was Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, and during the day there was Zhang Xinjie and Lin Jingyan. An all-star lineup taking turns serving him, what glory was this? Looking at this lineup, Chen Guo felt that this matter had to succeed, or it would be letting down all this effort.

"Do we wait for him to register?" Chen Guo asked.

"Yeah, we can. Anyway, registration is open all month." Ye Xiu said, tapping the table.

"Xiao An and Luo Ji should be coming over these few days too, right? Maybe we can get everyone together when they arrive." Chen Guo said.

An Wenyi and Luo Ji were both university students. Of course, it was summer vacation now. An Wenyi was going home for a while first, and said he would come for a visit in August. Luo Ji, on the other hand, was working on a project with his tutor and wouldn't be free until his August vacation, but he also said he would come and see.

Now it was already August, but there was no definite news as to when these people would arrive, but according to what they said before, anything was possible once August arrived.

As for Deceitful Mouse, he was indeed guessed right by Hui Chen. After being killed and wiped out continuously while scavenging, he naturally guessed that it was all Ye Xiu's doing. No one could stay up 24 hours without rest, who didn't understand this? So, Deceitful Mouse started trying to play the time difference with Ye Xiu and the others. As expected, things got much better after he shifted his activities to the daytime.

Deceitful Mouse was also quite cunning. He didn't shift completely, and would occasionally go out during the nighttime hours. But he couldn't stay up 24 hours without rest either. By leaving traces, his activities avoided most of the time slots. As a result, An Wenyi, such a careful and cautious guy, compiled the data, and Wei Chen, such a cunning and猥琐 (wěisuǒ, sneaky) guy, analyzed it, and he was exposed.

Every early morning was a time when he wouldn't encounter those guys. Deceitful Mouse had completely figured this out. On this early morning, Deceitful Mouse happily logged in again. Anyway, those guys wouldn't show up, so he didn't care whether he used his main account or an alt, especially since his alt was already useless.

Deceitful Mouse strolled around, of course, wanting to scavenge. However, as an individual player, a lack of information was the biggest obstacle to scaling up Deceitful Mouse's scavenging business. But after engaging in this career for so long, Deceitful Mouse had accumulated a wealth of work experience. He would pay attention to some details that he could take advantage of.

For example, he would try to record the respawn times of the weekly Bosses. He would never go to areas where the Boss had already been killed. For example, he would often pay attention to teleportation arrays and main roads. When a large number of players from the big guilds rushed to a certain place, it was likely that something was happening.

The battle for Wild Bosses was Deceitful Mouse's favorite scavenging ground. Just like how someone who's used to flying doesn't want to take the train, after reaping a great harvest in such a scene, Deceitful Mouse looked down on the small skirmishes between ordinary players. No matter how much he picked up in those places, it wouldn't compare to the three or two pieces dropped by the elite players of the big guilds.

Wild Bosses were the main battlefield for the top-tier club guilds. And this main battlefield was the favorite haunt of the top-tier scavenger like Deceitful Mouse.

After overcoming the biggest nuisance in a while by using the time difference, Deceitful Mouse continued his career with renewed vigor.

August 2nd was Friday of the fifth week of the summer transfer window. With three days left before the end of the week, most of the Bosses had been killed. In this situation, it became easier for anyone to obtain information because the scope of information that needed to be collected became narrower.

Deceitful Mouse missed the previous Boss. He only found out after seeing the system announcement. But he wasn't discouraged. It was just that he, with his individual strength, mostly couldn't make it in time. Now it was the weekend, which meant more opportunities for him.

Finally, Deceitful Mouse caught wind of a new Boss respawning. He secretly followed a group of Blue Brook Guild players who poured out of the teleportation array and came to the leveling area outside the main city. Soon, he saw the respawned Boss and the Misty Rain Guild who were already busy with it.

Recently, the major guilds were always in a hurry to kill Bosses because they had two incredibly strong opponents. Whenever they encountered them, they never came out on top. No one dared to play the waiting game with these two opponents. All the guilds would try to get there early and kill as soon as possible, accumulating as much aggro and damage as possible. After that, they would improvise in the chaos. This method allowed them to occasionally get one, so they wouldn't always end up empty-handed.

The Blue Brook Guild arrived and, seeing that the Misty Rain Guild was already busy, they rushed up without saying a word. The collision between the two guilds was very light. They seemed to be harmoniously fighting the Boss. This was completely paving the way for Tyrannical Ambition's arrival, completely avoiding interfering with each other.

This scene was, of course, unfortunate for a scavenger like Deceitful Mouse. Without player PK, where would he get dropped equipment to pick up? But it was just not the time yet. Deceitful Mouse didn't step forward and waited patiently on the side. Until two more guilds arrived, one of them being Tyrannical Ambition, with their names densely packed above their heads. Deceitful Mouse knew that the moment he was waiting for had finally arrived.

As soon as Tyrannical Ambition appeared, the major guilds became nervous. Deceitful Mouse even heard the terrifying sound of most people sighing, amplified when gathered together. Deceitful Mouse ignored their nervousness. It was none of his business. He just waited for them to fight into a big团 (tuán, group) before rushing up to pick up equipment.

How much harvest would there be today?

Deceitful Mouse was calculating in his mind, but unexpectedly, Tyrannical Ambition got closer and closer. The two separated teams unknowingly sandwiched him in the middle.

Deceitful Mouse still didn't take it too seriously. He thought it was just Tyrannical Ambition's tactic to抢 (qiǎng, snatch) the Boss. Little did he know that the leaders of the two Tyrannical Ambition teams were already exchanging messages.

"Oh, it seems to be the person Ye Qiu mentioned," Lin Jingyan said.

"Deceitful Mouse is the name," Zhang Xinjie replied.

"Sneaking around here, it seems like he really wants to scavenge," Lin Jingyan said.

"Well, let's quickly clean him up and not delay抢 (qiǎng, snatching) the Boss," Zhang Xinjie sent a message. On this side, the order was already given, and Lin Jingyan did the same on his side.

Tyrannical Ambition unconditionally executed the instructions of the two big shots and quickly launched a charge.

Deceitful Mouse was killed. His superb skills didn't even have time to be displayed in front of people. At the moment he was wiped out by the wave of attacks, he was still thinking: Was there some misunderstanding here?

Because his soul, floating in mid-air, saw Tyrannical Ambition's player characters rushing to the Boss battlefield at full speed. They didn't seem to stop because of killing him. Killing him didn't seem to be a special action for them!

Yes! Two professional-level commanders were fighting, each leading a hundred-man team. If it took a special effort to kill him, that would be a joke.

Deceitful Mouse quickly revived and rushed back here. Fortunately, the Boss battle wasn't over yet. The battlefield was in chaos, which was a great opportunity to scavenge. Deceitful Mouse quickly rushed up. The Tyrannical Ambition players consciously paid attention to what the two professional players cared about and immediately reported: "The ninja we killed earlier is back."

"Oh, kill him!" Zhang Xinjie said plainly, and Tyrannical Ambition immediately mobilized fatal firepower to bombard Deceitful Mouse.

This time, Deceitful Mouse noticed it and quickly dodged. But Tyrannical Ambition was following the大神 (dàshén, expert/pro) 's instructions and immediately chased after him relentlessly.

Deceitful Mouse was a little confused.

In the past, at such occasions, no club guild had ever been so dedicated to him, especially when the Boss was being snatched at such a crucial moment.

Deceitful Mouse's scavenging skill was a big deal. The timing he picked was when the other party couldn't take care of him. Otherwise, directly rushing into a group of people would get him killed no matter how good his skills were! But this time, the other party actually switched fire to him and was so relentless. This situation was as if that guy was chasing him down. Deceitful Mouse's brain was not working well. These were clearly people from Tyrannical Ambition, what was going on?

"Oh, this kid has some skills!" At this time, Lin Jingyan discovered Deceitful Mouse's impressive skills and became interested. He personally took a brick and went up.

The expert personally took action, and with the support of many people, Deceitful Mouse was finally taken care of.

"Not bad, there are actually guys with this level in the online game," Lin Jingyan said to Zhang Xinjie.

"No wonder that guy would be interested. Maybe it's not just about revenge," Zhang Xinjie said.

"You still believe the nonsense he makes up!" Lin Jingyan laughed.

"Let's see if he comes again later," Zhang Xinjie said.

"If he comes, do we still kill him?" Lin Jingyan asked.

"Kill. We promised, so of course we'll kill him," Zhang Xinjie said without hesitation.

While Zhang Xinjie and Lin Jingyan were busy in the early morning, Ye Xiu and the others were sleeping soundly. Deceitful Mouse's strength was not bad, and the two veteran players could definitely see it. If he was discovered, would he be snatched away by Tyrannical Ambition? Chen Guo was worried about this, but Ye Xiu didn't take it seriously: "After getting two big names, Tyrannical Ambition has so many people that they should be clearing them out, why would they be bringing more in? Teams are formed to play games and compete, but building a team isn't a game. Thinking of recruiting someone just because they are good is a gamer's way of thinking."

On that morning, Deceitful Mouse died a total of five times.

The first time, he thought there was some misunderstanding, so he tried again. The second time, he still found it hard to believe, so he tried again. The third and fourth times, Deceitful Mouse finally confirmed that he was being targeted, so he switched accounts and came again, contributing his fifth death with the character Mo Bai.

At this point, Deceitful Mouse finally understood that he was still being targeted by that guy. Even during the day, he would not have the opportunity to scavenge. He had been scavenging for so long, how could he not know that Tyrannical Ambition happened to have shifted their time slot with that guy's group, sharing the entire day!

"These two gangs are actually in cahoots! No wonder they staggered the time so well!" Deceitful Mouse thought angrily, but this idea was still a bit simplistic.
