Chapter 172 Profound Planning

Spring Brook Elder's decision stunned everyone.

The word "replace" seemed extremely sensitive at this moment. Everyone knew Spring Brook Elder's superficial meaning, but did the underlying meaning imply that the positions of the five great experts were about to undergo a change?

In terms of strength, Around the Bank Willow was better than Blue River, and it wasn't just Spring Brook Elder who could see this. However, the "greatness" of the five great experts was never determined solely by skill. Blue River was far more popular in the guild than Around the Bank Willow.

But when Spring Brook Elder suddenly announced this decision, everyone was stunned, and no one spoke out of turn. After all, they were just guessing and weren't sure if Spring Brook Elder was really implying something deeper.

The overjoyed ones were undoubtedly the group led by Around the Bank Willow. Although they weren't sure if Spring Brook Elder intended to promote them, this was at least an important step. Replacing Blue River and accomplishing what Blue River deemed impossible in the tenth server's seemingly difficult dungeon record would clearly demonstrate who was superior, and his popularity would inevitably increase significantly. Moreover, Blue River's retreat this time had triggered dissatisfaction among many people, and perhaps even some of the old-timers who had always favored Blue River and disliked him would be won over!

Around the Bank Willow was extremely excited and was about to step forward to express his feelings when he heard Blue River quietly say, "Lord Grim and the others, just four people, only four level 30s, without an MT knight or a priest, completed the first kill of the Blazing Witch."

"Is that the reason for your wavering?" Spring Brook Elder asked.

"This, on the one hand, further confirms his strength. But more importantly, I suddenly realized that his actions are actually quite logical. We unilaterally believe that he shouldn't act that way from our own needs. Leaving aside this attitude, this is a reasonable competition under the game's settings."

"Then our current attempt to break the record is also reasonable competition."

"Of course… but, from our perspective of being determined to obtain the record, this is not a good choice," Blue River said.

"Good or not, we'll only know after trying! Blue Bridge, would you rather believe that Lord Grim than believe in the strength of your own brothers?" Around the Bank Willow had finally gotten an opportunity and was afraid that Spring Brook Elder would be persuaded by Blue River, so he quickly squeezed in another jab.

Blue River was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Strength… doesn't come from believing."

"That's right. Judging from the four-man party killing a wild boss six levels higher, Lord Grim's strength is indeed better than ours," Spring Brook Elder said. "However, the performance in a dungeon like Flowing Land, which has been run to death, has a limit. I dare say that even if a professional team came, their performance in this low-level dungeon would be on par with ours. What they can do, we can also do. What they can do but we can't is useless in this dungeon."

"That's right! Guild Leader, let's go!" Around the Bank Willow said excitedly.

"Should we have Blue River help you contact an account card first?" Spring Brook Elder said.

"Oh, Blue Bridge, thank you," Around the Bank Willow said with a smile. In fact, he had already had the idea of ​​going to the tenth server to show off yesterday, and he had already obtained an account card for the tenth server himself. However, at this time, he didn't need to reveal it and let Blue River prepare it!

"There's one last point!" Blue River still hadn't finished everything he wanted to say. "Lord Grim's class is unspecialized. This doesn't exist even in professional teams. This is a variable, and we can't predict it."

"Since it's a variable, why do you believe that it's a variable that is unfavorable to us?" This time, Around the Bank Willow snatched the chance to reply to Blue River. "Moreover, this kind of unspecialized gameplay wasn't invented by Lord Grim, right? It existed as early as many years ago. If it's really so beneficial, are all dungeon records created with the participation of this class? Speaking of which, the Flowing Land dungeon record is even older than unspecialized. However, it seems that there is no unspecialized class in the record teams of the major servers, right? Unspecialized is so powerful and can set records that no one can break, so why hasn't it been passed down?"

Around the Bank Willow had indeed done his homework and specifically studied the dungeon records and dungeon teams of the major servers.

"Unspecialized is, after all, from many years ago…" Blue River's explanation was becoming more and more weak, and the surrounding brothers couldn't bear to listen anymore. They didn't understand why Blue River was so stubborn this time.

"Old Blue, let it go!" Someone quietly sent him a message.

"Just let the Guild Leader and the others try."

"Let's try first, and then think of other solutions if it doesn't work."

"Okay, let's just leave it at that!" Spring Brook Elder finally spoke. "Blue Bridge, prepare a swordsman account, and we'll try to break the record again during the day."

Blue River couldn't say anything else and could only silently agree.

During the day, again at around three o'clock in the afternoon, the five-man team from Blue Brook Guild's Heavenly Domain appeared in the tenth server again. However, the operator of the swordsman had been changed to Around the Bank Willow.

Pen Yanfei and the others were silent. They were a little unhappy with Blue River's stubbornness yesterday. However, they also didn't like Around the Bank Willow, this arrogant new generation expert. However, this person's strength was above Blue River's, and with him joining, their ability to break the record would indeed improve slightly.

"Guild Leaders, are we going now?" Around the Bank Willow was energetic.

"Let's go!" Spring Brook Elder didn't say much. They went to Flowing Land and started breaking the record.

It was a small dungeon, and they were familiar with it. There wasn't much to say about basic commands, and the whole process was very dull. It wasn't until they reached the final boss, Tolt, that there were more reminders between each other because they needed to cooperate to improve their score. Even so, the dull atmosphere didn't diminish. It seemed that only Around the Bank Willow was energetic, and the other three were somewhat listless. After this run, the final score was still slightly worse than the original record, which was quite unsatisfactory.

"Guild Leaders, this score is just from casual play. After more practice, it will definitely be even better!" Around the Bank Willow wasn't discouraged and said with great fighting spirit, encouraging the others.

"You three come over here." Spring Brook Elder walked to the side and called Pen Yanfei, Entering Night Cold, and Dawn Ice Whirlpool over.

Around the Bank Willow was stunned. This avoidance of him was too obvious. These guys wanted to say something in private! Around the Bank Willow was depressed but didn't show it. He was bored and was killing small monsters outside the dungeon entrance alone. He turned the volume of his headphones to the maximum, enduring the fact that he was almost deafened by the scolding of the rogue monsters, but he still couldn't hear what the four people were whispering about.

"What's wrong with you three?" Spring Brook Elder's tone was serious.

As a result, one character turned his head to the left, one turned to the right, and one looked at the sky. These actions could be done by changing the viewing angle.

"I say, you don't really suspect Blue Bridge, do you!" He turned his head to Entering Night Cold on the left and said.

"Nonsense, how is that possible?" Spring Brook Elder said.

"What Blue Bridge said isn't without reason," the second to speak was Dawn Ice Whirlpool, who was looking at the sky.

"I know," Spring Brook Elder sighed.

"But you're just annoyed by his affirmative attitude, right?" Pen Yanfei, on the right, said.

"Idiot, do you think I'm you?" Spring Brook Elder said.

"Oh?"

"In any case, we can only take this step," Spring Brook Elder said.

"How so?"

"If we directly choose to compromise with Lord Grim, as Blue Bridge meant, it would be too rash. What would the guild members think if this spread? With Around the Bank Willow and those guys around, they might take the opportunity to cause some trouble. So we must never suddenly compromise with Lord Grim at this time," Spring Brook Elder said.

"Then there's no need to replace Blue Bridge, right? Even if this is something he's unwilling to do, I guarantee that Blue Bridge will never slack off. You brought that kid Around the Bank Willow here, look at how smug he is. I admit that his skill is a little bit better than Blue River, but it's just a little bit," Pen Yanfei was a person who clearly distinguished between love and hate. He wouldn't hide his happiness or unhappiness.

"A little bit better is only one of the reasons. More importantly, we have to consider the possibility that Lord Grim can break our record again. Bringing Around the Bank Willow is to block the mouths of those kids. In the future, when we have this kind of negotiation with Lord Grim, they won't be able to make sarcastic remarks again," Spring Brook Elder said.

Pen Yanfei was stunned, and Entering Night Cold continued, "What if Lord Grim can't break our record?"

"Then that means Blue Bridge's judgment is wrong. What else is there to say?" Spring Brook Elder said calmly.

"You guy…" Dawn Ice Whirlpool gasped.

"You're so thoughtful!" Pen Yanfei said.

"That's why I'm the Guild Leader, not you," Spring Brook Elder didn't hold back. "Alright, everyone, get your spirits up. Damn it, if Blue River were here, his attitude would definitely be more upright than you three. If you don't break this record today, all three of you will stay in the tenth server and not go back."

"Hahahaha, that record, after more practice, if we don't break it in the afternoon, we'll definitely break it in the evening!"

The four laughed and cursed as they walked towards the dungeon entrance.

"Let's go!" They called out to Around the Bank Willow. Around the Bank Willow was a little confused. From the tone of their voices, he could clearly feel that the few people had changed suddenly after running away to say something in private. What was going on?

The second time they entered the dungeon, the dull atmosphere from before suddenly disappeared, and there was significantly more communication between them. Everything went smoothly at the front, but there were still some problems with the cooperation at Tolt. After this run, the record was broken, but it was only improved by five seconds, far from the effect they expected.

"Damn, this isn't good. If we only break it by a little bit each time, the experience rewards will be enough to level up before we get a satisfactory record…" Pen Yanfei cursed. Breaking the record not only gave a purple equipment reward, but the experience reward was also very generous.

"What are you afraid of? There are plenty of characters for you to use, keep trying!"

The third time they entered the dungeon, they made a big mistake while pushing the small monsters. After all, even the best experts couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't make a mistake every time. However, they didn't care about it. At this time, the only place they could break through to improve the record was the cooperation at the final boss, Tolt.

After three attempts, the record didn't improve and was considered practice.

"Let's come back at 0:00 tonight. Now, follow me to the ninth server to continue practicing! You've all gotten your account cards, right!" Spring Brook Elder said.
