"30 gold coins apiece." Lord Grim turned around and emphasized to Xi Zhou.

"30 it is, then!" Xi Zhou said. Those asking for prices were a man and a woman, a formidable combination. Especially since it was the girl speaking. It didn't matter if it was 30 or 300; the guy next to her would grit his teeth and pay!

Xi Zhou acted decisively, rushing to buy. Lord Grim was selling his wares from a stall, with the price marked. People would come, see if the price was right, and leave. Xi Zhou was afraid that this guy would be too enthusiastic, so he quickly clicked on the stones ten times without even looking, wiping out all ten Rough Stones from Lord Grim's stall. The man and woman stared blankly, speechless for a long time, before finally leaving with, "That guy's got issues."

"Not bad!" Ye Xiu also praised him.

"You flatter me," Xi Zhou replied politely.

"But did you check? Each one was 30 gold coins?" Ye Xiu asked.

Xi Zhou was shocked and quickly checked his wallet. He found that exactly 300 gold coins had been deducted, so there didn't seem to be any problem.

"Just kidding..." Xi Zhou was still shaken. He really hadn't looked at the price at all just now. He was out collecting materials, carrying a large sum of guild money. If it had been marked at ten or eight thousand, he would have cried.

"If you could check the price clearly in that split second, that would really be impressive." As Ye Xiu spoke, he had already made Lord Grim stand up. "Let's go."

"Goodbye," Xi Zhou said blankly, watching Lord Grim's figure disappear calmly into the crowd. After a long while, he came back to his senses and quickly sent a message to Lan He about the matter.

"Lord Grim? How is that possible? You ran into him in the city? Shouldn't he be running dungeons? Is he done already?" Lan He immediately sent a barrage of questions. He didn't even have time to care about Xi Zhou's question about how Lord Grim could have so many Rough Stones. Why wasn't he on TV if he had finished the dungeon? With this question in mind, Lan He hurriedly opened the dungeon records, only to find that Blue Brook Guild's record was still firmly in first place, with the second and third places unchanged. There was no sign of Lord Grim.

"Strange, could it be that they haven't started running it yet?" Lan He asked Xi Zhou.

"How would I know... But at this time, if they were running it, they would be almost done. Could it be that the record wasn't broken? Lord Grim is selling Rough Stones. With his experience, why would he rashly sell off rare materials like that? I think they might have encountered some obstacles in the dungeon, and he urgently needs money, probably to buy some equipment?" Xi Zhou was indeed very analytical. Although he didn't know where the Rough Stones came from, he guessed seven or eight tenths of Ye Xiu's purpose in selling them.

"I see... You said he has ten Rough Stones?" Only then did Lan He return to the original question. Dungeons were completely beyond his control. If they wanted to run them today, they would run them today; if they wanted to run them tomorrow, they would run them tomorrow. He could only stare blankly.

"Yes, and judging by his appearance, it seems like he has more than just that," Xi Zhou said.

"That's impossible. Nowadays, anyone who can put double-digit Rough Stones on the market must be from a club guild. Even if ordinary guilds managed to get that many, they wouldn't be able to concentrate them all in one person's hands," Lan He said.

"That's why I find it so strange..." Xi Zhou said.

"Could it be that he's already been bought over by some guild?" Lan He suddenly thought.

"Heh, let's see!" Xi Zhou said.

"How?"

"I've sent Qian Cheng to follow him and see who he comes into contact with," Xi Zhou replied.

At this time, Lan He wasn't the only one paying attention to the record榜. The guild leaders were all feeling nauseous at the thought that a tiny existence like the Moonwheel Guild was about to dominate this record. Everyone was unwilling but helpless. Although they couldn't stop it, they couldn't help but pay attention to the system announcements.

From 0:00 to 1:00, then to 2:00, the guild leaders were all somewhat absent-minded, unaware that Ye Xiu was strolling around the streets here.

"How is it? Have you picked out your equipment yet?" Ye Xiu sent a message to Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion. 300 gold coins meant that their team, without a popular class like Swordsman, could basically get three purple weapons.

"I saw the Red Moon Spear you mentioned," Tang Rou replied.

"Alright. Where is it?" Ye Xiu asked.

Then, after asking for their locations, he sent the gold coins over. He spent 190 gold coins and acquired two purple weapons. Then he went to a stall he had been eyeing and spent 100 gold coins to buy a purple-grade Launcher.

"Boss is really rich!" Steamed Bun Invasion praised, equipping the newly purchased level 30 purple weapon, the Sandstorm Claw. His original title of "Ye Xiu God" was upgraded to "Boss," which showed even more intimacy and obedience. Steamed Bun Invasion's simplicity could be seen from this change in address.

"Heh, let's go!" Ye Xiu said, and the three of them left the bustling streets of Empty Accumulation City together.

Qian Cheng was following the three of them from afar. As an experienced monster stealer, he was quite familiar with this kind of thing. After following them out of the main city, the outskirts were open and flat. Qian Cheng didn't follow closely behind them; instead, he changed his route and maintained a diagonal line with the three of them, moving in parallel.

Looking at the direction the three of them were heading, it seemed to be towards the First Line Canyon. Qian Cheng guessed that they were just going to run a dungeon. But Xi Zhou told him to pay attention to what kind of people Lord Grim would come into contact with. This dungeon run would require a team, which would be perfect for observation. Helpless, Qian Cheng could only continue to silently follow.

As he walked, Qian Cheng suddenly realized that he wasn't the only one following Lord Grim and the others.

Centered on the three of them, several players scattered across the map were now moving in the same direction as Lord Grim and his party, some near, some far.

It wouldn't be strange to see one or two people like this, but so many suddenly seemed out of place. If they were really going to First Line Canyon, then walking the main road like Lord Grim and the others would be normal. But this group of tails, who seemed to be experienced like Qian Cheng, weren't following directly behind; instead, they were just pretending to be searching along different routes. With so many people pretending, it wouldn't look natural.

Qian Cheng discovered the others, and they were also aware of each other's presence. Some hesitated, while others decisively changed their plans and walked onto the main road, openly following behind Lord Grim and his party. This method, which was originally feared to expose them, now seemed quite normal in this bizarre situation.

Qian Cheng, however, was the most unique. At this moment, he suddenly rushed towards the player closest to him. After clearly seeing the other party's name, he immediately sent a message to Xi Zhou: "No collusion with Whistlewind."

The player he saw was from the Whistlewind Heights guild. Although the other party had hidden their guild title, Qian Cheng recognized their ID.

"Oh? How do you know?" Xi Zhou asked strangely. He couldn't guess how Qian Cheng had arrived at this conclusion using the process of elimination.

"Because the people from Whistlewind are doing the same thing as me," Qian Cheng said.

Xi Zhou was speechless. It seemed that Lord Grim was now receiving widespread attention in the tenth server. Before, everyone had kept silent and tried to win him over, but now, in this strange situation, they had all exposed themselves.

"Xiao Luo, do you know which guild this person is from?" Qian Cheng identified another person, but he didn't recognize them. The other party had also hidden their guild title, so he had to ask Xi Zhou to investigate.

"Let me check..." After asking how to write the two characters, Xi Zhou went to contact someone to investigate.

In the end, Qian Cheng scouted all nine people who had crashed into each other while tailing them but refused to give up. Originally, there were eleven people, but two of them had retreated after realizing the situation was strange.

Among the nine people, the guilds of five had been identified: Tyrannical Ambition, Royal Dynasty, Whistlewind Heights, Samsara, and Hundred Blossoms Valley. These five guilds had all participated in this tailing collision, so it was conceivable that they had no collusion with Lord Grim.

"Are you still continuing?" Xi Zhou asked.

"Yeah, First Line Canyon is almost here. I think once Lord Grim and the others enter the dungeon, we ten can just form two teams to run it. I haven't used my dungeon entries for today yet!" Qian Cheng said.

"Then good luck to you," Xi Zhou said without saying much more.

First Line Canyon arrived in the blink of an eye. Although it was called a canyon, there were no high mountains. First Line Canyon was a crack in the Glory continent, carved like an ax on the flat yellow earth plain. It was wide, long, and deep. There was no vegetation growing anywhere, and the bones of animals could be seen everywhere. The creatures active here were all kinds of poisonous insects. Of course, for players, these were just experience providers.

First Line Canyon was a level 30-33 leveling area, so it was considered a high-end area at this time. Players who didn't treat the game as a job and play for 12 hours or more a day couldn't possibly be level 30 at this time. Such players were definitely not the majority, so First Line Canyon seemed sparsely populated.

Lord Grim and the other two entered First Line Canyon and didn't pay much attention to the monsters along the way, heading straight for the dungeon entrance. A group of people followed behind, but after seeing who Lord Grim and the others greeted and teamed up with, they were all greatly disappointed.

Tian Qi, Moon Midsummer.

At this time, those who had done their homework basically knew that these two were members of the Moonwheel Guild. That wasn't all. In fact, the major guilds had already sent small-sized spies to apply for membership in the Moonwheel Guild. The Moonwheel Guild had grown significantly overnight, and those who joined were all characters with not-so-low levels.

The spies gathered together, wanting to figure out Lord Grim's intentions within the Moonwheel Guild.

Outside First Line Canyon, people sent by the various guilds were tailing and peeking.

The major guilds were working hard to recruit this expert. Until this moment, when they discovered that Lord Grim and the other two had simply teamed up with Tian Qi and Moon Midsummer to enter the dungeon, they all reported back dejectedly.

After that, a group of guys looked at each other.

"Could it be that they really want to team up to run dungeons together?" Qian Cheng was muttering to himself when everyone suddenly scattered like startled birds and beasts.

"Tch..." Qian Cheng looked down on them. He was also preparing to leave, but as he was leaving, he saw a player not far from the dungeon who was leveling up by killing monsters. He couldn't resist the itch and his old habits kicked in. He rushed up and stole the monster from the person.

Qian Cheng flaunted the stolen monster in front of the person. Suddenly, he realized that all the players around him who were killing monsters had dropped their monsters and were rushing towards him. Qian Cheng realized something was wrong but was greatly surprised: When did so many brave heroes appear in the game? And they had all gathered here!
