“This article is a bit self-righteous,” Ye Xiu finally said.

“But at least you guessed a few things correctly,” Tang Rou said.

“Actually, as long as you’re willing to spend time researching it, it’s not too difficult to figure out this strategy. It’s just a matter of time,” Ye Xiu said.

“Then do we need to look at his other walkthroughs?” Tang Rou asked.

“Let’s take a look at the Bosses,” Ye Xiu said.

So Tang Rou clicked back to the ‘Idiot’s Guide’ for the hidden Boss Red Scorpion Assassin Yao Ci in the Line Canyon dungeon. Because of the change in the team composition, she had stopped reading it after being confused.

And so, Ye Xiu, like an idiot, began to read this ‘Idiot’s Guide’ outside the front desk. Tang Rou followed along, but with her experience, she was not as efficient as Ye Xiu. This kind of super-detailed walkthrough required a lot of imagination, and Tang Rou couldn’t quite keep up. Before long, she was back to being a page-turning machine.

Chen Guo was a bit better than Tang Rou in this regard, but she couldn’t keep watching for long. She had lost interest after reading only one page of the first article. This kind of small Boss, although hidden, wasn’t necessarily that difficult. Creating such a complicated and detailed walkthrough was actually quite redundant.

“What’s there to see…” Chen Guo muttered.

“There’s not much to see in the walkthrough,” Ye Xiu affirmed that this walkthrough wasn’t worth much. “But I just want to see if he makes any mistakes.”

“You’re playing ‘spot the difference’?” Chen Guo was speechless.

“Hehe,” Ye Xiu laughed and continued reading.

Page after page, again more than twenty thousand words. After turning to the very end, Tang Rou and Chen Guo stopped looking at the walkthrough. They both stared at Ye Xiu, waiting for him to finish reading and announce the results.

“There are no problems,” Ye Xiu said after reading.

“Want to play again?” Chen Guo asked.

“Read another one?” Ye Xiu asked, seeking their opinion. Tang Rou immediately clicked open another article for him.

“You guys play!” Chen Guo stretched, having completely lost interest in this spot-the-difference game.

“Huh!” But just as she turned to leave, she heard Ye Xiu exclaim in surprise. Chen Guo immediately turned back. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

“Changed classes,” Ye Xiu said.

“How many times do you need to be surprised by this?” Chen Guo rolled her eyes. The class change had already happened once before, and everyone had already been surprised.

“But this time there isn’t even a Summoner. He himself is a Summoner, right?” Ye Xiu said.

“Yeah,” Tang Rou nodded. She had confirmed it in the game earlier. Meiguang, level 32 Summoner.

“Does he have many accounts?” Chen Guo guessed.

Of course, Ye Xiu couldn’t deny this possibility, but he still shook his head and silently continued reading the walkthrough.

More than twenty thousand words were eliminated again, and Ye Xiu still couldn’t find any faults. Although some of the designs couldn’t be said to be the most exquisite, they were all definitely feasible and couldn’t be said to be wrong.

At this time, a customer was getting off the computer in the smoking area. Logically, during this busy period, the machine should be given to customers first, but seeing Ye Xiu lying pitifully outside the front desk, Chen Guo’s heart softened again. She waved her hand, and Ye Xiu immediately understood her intention, quickly running to use the machine.

Chen Guo and Tang Rou remained at the front desk, blankly staring at the densely packed words on the computer.

Five minutes later…

“Is it interesting?” Chen Guo asked.

“No…” Tang Rou admitted frankly. She was exhausted from reading.

“Let’s watch a couple of videos!” Chen Guo’s favorite thing was still watching those exciting battle videos.

“Okay!” Tang Rou agreed readily. She didn’t feel that the walkthrough was helping her at all. What she wanted to know were the characteristics of each Boss, so she wouldn’t make repeated mistakes like when she killed the Shadow Swordsman. As long as she knew the Boss’s methods, Tang Rou believed that she could handle them with her own skills.

So she quickly closed the pile of ‘Idiot’s Guides’ and prepared to find videos to watch, but then she realized that Glory was still running. She had forgotten to log out after logging into the game to find Meiguang.

But at this time, the game screen was gray, and Han Yanrou was lying straight on the ground. A dialog box popped up, asking the player if they wanted to revive the character.

“How did I die?” Tang Rou glanced at Chen Guo in confusion.

“In the wild?” Chen Guo asked.

“Yeah…”

“Too careless,” Chen Guo said. Hanging out in the wild like that, it was normal to be scratched to death by monsters or PKed by some malicious players who passed by.

“Revive and see if you dropped anything,” Chen Guo said.

Tang Rou confirmed the revival. The character returned to Congji City in a critical state. She opened her bag, looked at her equipment and items, and shook her head. “I didn’t drop anything, just money and experience.”

“That’s inevitable. Look at the system log,” Chen Guo said.

“Oh?” Tang Rou didn’t even know about this feature.

“Here!” Chen Guo grabbed the mouse and helped Tang Rou operate it. The system log recorded Han Yanrou’s death. She wasn’t killed by a monster, but by a player named Ling Tupo (Zero Breakthrough).

“Ling Tupo…” Chen Guo muttered, nimbly opening the friend search and entering the ID.

The character was online, a level 33 male Sword Master.

“Level 33! He must be leveling up in the Line Canyon. Go get revenge!” Chen Guo returned the mouse and keyboard to Tang Rou, commanding like a general.

“Now?” Tang Rou asked, puzzled.

“Of course!” Chen Guo nodded affirmatively.

Tang Rou pointed to the side. Chen Guo turned her head and saw a circle of customers lying outside the front desk, staring blankly at the two beauties playing games and ignoring them.

“I’ll take care of it! You go get revenge,” Chen Guo went up to greet the customers.

“Forget it! Who knows if we can find him? Later is the same,” Tang Rou didn’t take it to heart too much. After quitting the game, she went to greet the customers.

In the smoking area, Ye Xiu continued to read the ‘Idiot’s Guide’ written by the player named Meiguang, one article at a time. There were currently four dungeons in the new server’s progress, each with three hidden Bosses, for a total of twelve. Meiguang wrote a walkthrough for each hidden Boss, each with more than twenty thousand words of super-detailed processes. Even with Ye Xiu’s very fast mental processing speed, he still had to read them word by word, line by line. By the time Chen Guo came over to call him for dinner, he had only finished reading the sixth article, half of the twelve walkthroughs in total.

“Still reading! Eat first.” Chen Guo was completely convinced by Ye Xiu’s obsession with the game.

“Oh…”

“Did you find any mistakes?” Chen Guo asked.

“No,” Ye Xiu shook his head.

“Are you really planning to read them all?” Chen Guo knew that this spot-the-difference game wasn’t pleasant. It was a very tiring mental exercise. With her level, she probably wouldn’t be able to complete this game.

“Let’s see,” Ye Xiu said.

“Xiao Tang was killed this afternoon!” Chen Guo suddenly said at the dinner table.

“What happened?” Ye Xiu asked.

“She forgot to log out of the game. Her character was standing in the wild and was killed,” the person involved was calmer than Chen Guo.

“The killer’s name is Ling Tupo, level 33 Sword Master. Pay attention if you see him,” Chen Guo remembered it more clearly than Tang Rou and emphasized the killer.

“Got it,” Ye Xiu smiled. “I’ll definitely kill him back if I run into him.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Tang Rou nodded and then changed the topic. “Did you see anything from those walkthroughs?”

“This person probably doesn’t have many accounts to grind dungeons with. Considering the time that the new server has been open, I don’t think there’s enough time for him to have understood every hidden Boss to such a detailed degree. I suspect that he himself may not have killed many hidden Bosses. He summarized this set of ‘Idiot’s Guides’ based on previous walkthroughs and videos,” Ye Xiu said.

“No way?” Chen Guo was surprised.

“If that’s the case, then this person is a remarkable newbie!” Ye Xiu said.

“So he wrote these walkthroughs based on imagination alone, and they’re completely correct?” Chen Guo said.

“That’s why I say he’s amazing,” Ye Xiu said.

“I can’t believe it.”

“I’m done eating. I still have half to find faults in!” Ye Xiu quickly finished his meal, got up, and ran back to continue reading the walkthroughs.

One article after another, Ye Xiu read them word for word. He became more and more certain of his deduction. From the many less-than-perfect traces in these walkthroughs, Ye Xiu deduced that the author’s practical experience was quite limited. These twelve walkthroughs were actually just his bold daydreams after mastering the theoretical knowledge. But he daydreamed reasonably, with logic and feasibility, which was what made him not simple.

By the time he finished reading the last walkthrough, Ye Xiu had no doubts. The twelve walkthroughs had no mistakes, but the small details completely exposed the author. Ye Xiu had a clear idea of what kind of player this Meiguang was. He was very interested in this person.

After closing the walkthroughs, he looked at the time and realized that it was almost 11 o’clock. His shift was almost over, so Ye Xiu quickly closed the machine and went to the front desk. On weekends, there were many customers preparing to stay up all night, so the front desk was very busy for a while. By the time Ye Xiu quietly sat down, it was already 11:30.

Tang Rou had also gone to her position. The two logged into the game one after the other. As soon as Ye Xiu came online, he searched for Meiguang’s name, but the character was still offline. Ye Xiu sent a friend request and then ignored it. He glanced at his friend list and saw that Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan hadn’t logged in yet, but Baozi Invasion was already online. So he sent a message to Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, calling everyone to gather outside the dungeon entrance.

“Okay.”

“Roger.”

The two replied separately. Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim also left Congji City and headed towards the Line Canyon dungeon.

“Lord Grim is online! Left the main city and headed towards Line Canyon!”

“Han Yanrou is online, heading towards Line Canyon. The character is still in critical condition!”

“Baozi Invasion came out of the arena and is heading out of the main city.”

The three of them didn’t know that their actions were being watched and that the news of their whereabouts was being spread in secret.

11:41 PM.

“Desolate Land, coordinates 1256, 1475, Wind Following the Stream is online.”

11:44 PM.

“Desolate Land, coordinates 1254, 1466, Inch of Ash is online.”

New messages were also being spread one after another.
