Chapter 187 Kongji City

“Boss, I’m in Kongji City.” Steamed Bun Invasion had already resurrected in the main city and sent a message, full of energy.

“You’re ruthless,” Ye Xiu replied.

“But I don’t have any weapons, and no money either…” Steamed Bun Invasion said.

“You…you’re really ruthless. Wait for me, I’ll be over in a bit!” Ye Xiu said.

“Ok!” Steamed Bun Invasion even spoke in English.

Ye Xiu didn’t have Lord Grim immediately return to Kongji City. He still headed in the direction of First Line Canyon. All of them had logged off in First Line Canyon, so they would all encounter the same situation as Steamed Bun Invasion. Although he believed that the others wouldn’t be as clueless as Steamed Bun Invasion, not realizing they were being followed for over ten minutes, they would still encounter some difficulties.

On the way, Ye Xiu himself was naturally careful to avoid any players. At 8:30, the friend list gave an online notification. Ye Xiu clicked it open, and it was Su Mucheng’s Cleansing Mist.

“Huh, why isn’t anyone here?” Su Mucheng sent a message. Tang Rou and Qiao Yifan hadn’t appeared. Tang Rou definitely couldn’t come before nine o’clock, and Qiao Yifan had never appeared at this time either, and they couldn’t contact him.

“No choice.” Ye Xiu sent back a helpless emoji.

“Can we still fight?” Su Mucheng asked.

“Let’s see, come out of First Line Canyon first, be careful,” Ye Xiu said.

Cleansing Mist’s spawn location wasn’t as remote as Steamed Bun Invasion’s, but Su Mucheng was far from being as clueless as Steamed Bun Invasion. After logging in, she naturally knew what to watch out for. First Line Canyon’s terrain was also extremely convenient for escaping. Although she was being watched, Su Mucheng easily shook off everyone using the terrain.

Pity those players. As soon as they saw Cleansing Mist, they excitedly reported their discovery to their guilds to curry favor. Then, they followed. Followed and followed, and then the person disappeared. They didn’t curry favor, and instead received a scolding. The big bosses of the seven guilds were naturally not in a good mood at this time.

Ye Xiu approached, nearing the entrance to First Line Canyon, and saw a player constantly wandering at the entrance, neither entering nor leaving. He naturally had a plan in his mind. Without wasting any words, he rushed up and quickly took the person down.

The major guilds just received the news: Lord Grim discovered at the entrance to First Line Canyon.

Twenty seconds later, the scout who discovered Lord Grim had gloriously sacrificed himself.

In the canyon, Su Mucheng’s Cleansing Mist had reached the exit. Climbing up the slope, she saw Lord Grim.

“Oh, are you picking me up?” Su Mucheng said.

“Of course.” Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim stood there, with a corpse lying beside him. It was naturally the scout who had just been taken down. Dying and still figuring out the target’s whereabouts, truly dedicated.

“What an eyesore!” Su Mucheng was quite dissatisfied with the corpse. Cleansing Mist raised her hand cannon.

“Let’s go!” Ye Xiu called out, and the two left. The scout sent back the message of their whereabouts, completing his final mission.

Each guild organized and dispatched, and launched a search and kill again. The participants were still the players from yesterday, but they were far from having the same fighting spirit as yesterday.

Those who had participated in the battle were alright. For example, Lonely Drink, who had at least been killed, could use revenge as motivation. But more players had simply run around endlessly yesterday, waiting, bored to death. After learning that they had to continue today, everyone carefully prepared movies, comics, novels, snacks to pass the boring time.

Ye Xiu led Su Mucheng, and the two made a large detour on the map, directly bypassing the search network organized by the major guilds. Then, they didn’t go to Kongji City, but went to Bores Town near Frost Forest.

As the first stop for new players leaving the beginner village, this town, although small, had everything. Entering the arena from here was exactly the same.

When they arrived at Bores Town, it was already close to nine o’clock. Qiao Yifan still hadn’t appeared. Ye Xiu first sent some gold coins to Steamed Bun Invasion to let him buy a weapon. Then, he glanced at his friend list. Tian Qi, Moon Midsummer, Shallow Depths, and Evening Haze were there. But let alone their strength. If they participated, they would be drawn into the conflict between Ye Xiu and the major guilds, which would add a lot of trouble. Ye Xiu didn’t want them to get involved.

At nine o’clock, the friend list notification rang again. Ye Xiu clicked it open. Midnight Wanderer was online, right on time. Zhang Xinjie, of course. And the character was already stopped at the entrance to the arena, one step away from entering. Jiang You’s Loveless Land and the other four characters were already prepared. They wouldn’t dare to make Zhang Xinjie wait.

They didn’t dare, but Ye Xiu dared.

“Start?”

“Not enough people.”

“4 hours and 37 minutes and you still can’t gather enough people?” Zhang Xinjie was very contemptuous of this efficiency.

“No choice, let’s change the time, is 12 o’clock okay?”

“No.” As meticulous as Zhang Xinjie was, 12 o’clock was his deep sleep time.

“Then you say,” Ye Xiu replied.

“When can you gather enough people?” Zhang Xinjie asked.

“12 o’clock…” The question was going in circles.

“Tomorrow then, I hope you don’t break your promise again,” Zhang Xinjie said decisively, clearly not wanting to waste too much time.

“Hey wait, I have someone here,” Ye Xiu suddenly called out. He just got an online notification, and before he could even look, a message came: “pkpkpkpkpkpk.” (player kill)

“The noisy one is here again!” Su Mucheng pouted.

Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim quickly entered the arena, opened a room, set it up, and sent the room number to Huang Shaotian’s Flowing Tree.

“Wait for me to switch accounts!” Huang Shaotian immediately said.

“This one first!” Ye Xiu said.

“What for?” Huang Shaotian asked.

“Help me fight a match first,” Ye Xiu said.

“Fuck fuck fuck!! I’m here to PK you, do you think I’m a summon?” Huang Shaotian cursed.

“Quickly,” Ye Xiu said.

“No weapon!” Huang Shaotian shouted.

“Find Steamed Bun Invasion, he’s buying weapons, let him help you buy one too,” Ye Xiu messaged. Huang Shaotian’s Flowing Tree was only level 27, so he could only use level 25 weapons, which were much cheaper than level 30 weapons.

“Steamed Bun Brother…” Huang Shaotian contacted Steamed Bun Invasion.

It was the peak period, and there were many stalls in the market. These two were not the type to bargain, so they quickly obtained two weapons and headed to the arena.

On the arena side, the five people on the other side directly entered the room after receiving the room number. The five people were all there. The Jiang You five-man team, the four combat classes remained the same, except that the priest was replaced by Zhang Xinjie’s Midnight Wanderer.

What about Ye Xiu’s side? His Lord Grim and Su Mucheng’s Cleansing Mist had entered, but the people in the three empty spots were constantly changing.

“Where are your people?” On the side, Midnight Wanderer was sending messages. The third person on the other side suddenly stopped switching, and the character froze: Steamed Bun Invasion.

Following closely behind, the fourth person froze: Flowing Tree.

“Flowing Tree?” Jiang You was stunned.

“Who is this?” Zhang Xinjie asked.

“We didn’t have contact with this person yesterday. But many people in Empty Forest died at his hands. He’s only level 27.” Jiang You quickly introduced.

“Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!” Flowing Tree was spamming the screen as soon as he entered the room.

“And he talks a lot.” Jiang You quickly added this information.

“Talking a lot is a trend among swordsmen,” Zhang Xinjie said.

Everyone laughed, they knew what the reason was.

“Then who is this person?” Amidst the laughter, the fifth character following Flowing Tree also quickly froze. Looking at him, the monk was immediately puzzled. Lord Grim’s fifth person was a level 31 assassin named Zero Zero Kill. They had never heard of such a person in their intelligence.

“Zero Zero Kill?” Jiang You was also puzzled, and quickly messaged Night Wanderer. Night Wanderer also had no idea who this person was.

“Prepare, prepare, prepare, prepare, prepare, prepare, prepare!” Flowing Tree was spamming the screen on this side.

“If you don’t want to reveal your identity, say less,” Ye Xiu sent a message to Flowing Tree.

“What?”

“The Midnight Wanderer on the other side is Zhang Xinjie,” Ye Xiu said.

“Really? Really?” Huang Shaotian was shocked.

At this time, everyone was ready, the team competition officially began, and the scene instantly entered the battle screen. The map was the Molten Cemetery, which was randomly selected and was fair to both sides.

“Really? Really really?” Huang Shaotian was still asking questions after entering the map.

“Fake, keep talking!” Ye Xiu said.

With Huang Shaotian’s habits, he would have started to be long-winded in the public chat channel after entering the match, but this time he forcibly restrained himself. And that number five character, Zero Zero Kill, was already impatient to rush into the battlefield.

“Wow, this brother is so impatient, who is this?” Huang Shaotian asked.

“Don’t know,” Ye Xiu said.

“Don’t know?” Huang Shaotian was puzzled.

“Not enough people, a random one,” Ye Xiu said.

Everyone was dizzy. Ye Xiu’s room didn’t have a password, so any player could enter. The reason why the three spots were constantly changing was because Ye Xiu immediately kicked out anyone who came in, to ensure that Steamed Bun Invasion and Huang Shaotian had spots when they came in. Once the two of them were in, he no longer cared. Thus, the fifth person who came in and wasn’t kicked was the assassin Zero Zero Kill.

As for why no one from Tyrannical Ambition squeezed in, it was because this was a match with a bet. When entering, the system would pop up a dialog box asking if they accepted. Ye Xiu’s side was betting on a promise. In the system’s eyes, winning was earning materials, but losing was nothing. As for Tyrannical Ambition, winning would get them nothing, but losing would mean a pile of materials. No one would accept such conditions. Even if they accidentally clicked accept, they wouldn’t have enough rare materials to enter.

“Although that Flowing Tree is low level, the information from Empty Forest shows that he is quite strong. As for this assassin, there is no information at all. But being able to participate in this bet, I think Lord Grim has a lot of confidence in him, and his strength is probably quite strong.” Tyrannical Ambition was already discussing Flowing Tree and Zero Zero Kill, and continued their topic after entering the match. Jiang You was saying his analysis.

“Look, that assassin has already rushed over,” the monk called out.

Zhang Xinjie’s Midnight Wanderer also turned his view to look. Sure enough, the assassin Zero Zero Kill left the team and rushed over alone.

“What kind of tactic is this?” Zhang Xinjie was pondering, but Zero Zero Kill suddenly stopped and ran back.

“He went back again?” Tyrannical Ambition’s people were puzzled.
