Chapter 11 Jun Mo Xiao Disappears

Jun Mo Xiao's figure disappeared in a flash.

Jiang You and the others were tempted to chase, but seeing Zhang Xinjie's Ye Weiyang standing still, they had no choice. They controlled their characters, gathering around Ye Weiyang.

Although none of them had died this time, it was still far from their expectations. The moment Jun Mo Xiao was hit by Holy Fire, everyone thought the situation was set, marveling at the difference a true expert made. In the end, two traps ruined the advantage gained by the two Holy Fires. Jun Mo Xiao escaped, and from that perspective, Jun Mo Xiao was still the victor.

Jiang You and the others couldn't help but feel frustrated again, when they heard Zhang Xinjie say, "The weapon in his hand doesn't seem to have changed shape."

The five of them were stunned, but then a voice from outside the game entered: "The one he's holding doesn't seem to be his original weapon. It's the Dark Night series level 30 purple weapon, Double-Tailed Sword."

It was Ye Weiyang who spoke. Whether it was Zhang Xinjie or Jiang You, they had almost forgotten about things at the level 30 stage. They might be better with their own class, but with other classes, they couldn't possibly recognize all the equipment and weapons. But Ye Weiyang was in the new server, so he cared about purple weapons. He could recognize almost any class's weapon at a glance.

"Purple weapon?" The others exchanged glances again.

From the moment Jun Mo Xiao appeared and rushed up, dodging attacks, jumping up, getting hit by Holy Fire, falling, triggering the trap, and escaping, the whole process didn't even take a minute. Many things hadn't been digested by those in the battle, but Ye Weiyang, as an outsider, saw it clearly. He was standing behind Zhang Xinjie, who had hardly moved during the entire battle, mostly issuing instructions to everyone via messages. His character was constantly turning his view, observing everyone in the battle, which was clearly the big picture a healer should have. Ye Weiyang had only watched this less than a minute of combat, and already felt he had benefited greatly.

Zhang Xinjie's entire practical operation was just that one Holy Fire. But that Holy Fire gave everyone hope of taking down Jun Mo Xiao. Unfortunately, it seemed that even Zhang Xinjie hadn't noticed those two traps.

"Hmm, that guy has been fighting all night and hasn't had a chance to return to the main city. I think his weapon might not have any durability left," Jiang You said after thinking for a while, speculating in accordance with the facts.

"I see," Zhang Xinjie said.

"What a pity, if it weren't for those two traps..." the Striker said depressingly. No one died in this battle, but he was the most miserable. The poison he was hit with had only just expired, and the traces of blood on his body were still refreshing over time. The throat cut by the Double-Tailed Sword that sprayed blood like a fan at least left the Sharpshooter with something to remember.

"If the Sharpshooter could have pressed harder, he wouldn't have had the chance to set up two traps while dodging," Zhang Xinjie suddenly said.

"Ah..." the Sharpshooter was stunned.

"The healer's Holy Fire was half a second early," Zhang Xinjie continued.

"Uh..." the healer was speechless.

"The mage's initial attack was half a beat slow."

Jiang You was speechless.

"Strikers like to punch while moving at high speed... but with your current level of operation, it's actually better to slow down the pace a bit."

"Oh..." the Striker responded.

Of the five-man team, Zhang Xinjie pointed out flaws in everyone except the Swordsman. The Swordsman's performance in this battle was impeccable, and he should have been happy. But seeing that everyone else had been criticized, except for him, he felt a sense of loss. On the other hand, the four who were criticized all thought at the same time that if they were teamed up with Captain Han Wenqing, this little flaw would have caused Jun Mo Xiao to escape, and they would have been bombarded by Captain Han's verbal attacks!

"Then what should we do next?" Jiang You and the others felt they couldn't deal with Jun Mo Xiao, so they were at a loss. Now that Zhang Xinjie was still here, they quickly asked for advice. Obviously, Zhang Xinjie couldn't keep spending time with them endlessly against Jun Mo Xiao, so he only said he came to "take a look". Now that he had finished looking, what was the vice-captain's opinion? Jiang You was looking forward to it.

"The main conflict is over the competition for dungeon records. Fighting like this, both sides waste time and effort, and don't get any benefits," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Yes!" Jiang You responded quickly.

"So I invited him to a five-on-five team match in the arena tonight. As long as we win, he won't touch any dungeon records set by our Tyrannical Ambition in the future," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Ah! Really?" Jiang You was overjoyed.

"He also has conditions. I'll send them to you. See if you can accept them," Zhang Xinjie said, forwarding the messages he had exchanged with Jun Mo Xiao to Jiang You. He didn't make a decision without consulting, which showed he was very measured in his actions. Although the people in the guild were very polite to their pro players, in fact, Jiang You was the boss of the guild's operations. In theory, even Han Wenqing didn't have the right to interfere with how the guild operated. Of course, that was just in theory. If Han Wenqing really came and said something, Jiang You couldn't possibly ignore it. But Zhang Xinjie didn't do that. He left the final decision to Jiang You.

Jiang You received the forwarded message and looked at it: eight Red Scorpion Stingers, eight Scarlet Poison Needles, Crimson Shadow Blade, forty Sand Silks. They looked familiar! When he asked Ye Du Han Tan to negotiate the matters in the First Line Gorge, didn't he offer a similar list? However, it seemed that there were some changes compared to last time.

Where was it? Jiang You scanned the information about the First Line Gorge and felt a little puzzled. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly realized.

Amber Crystal! This time, the list that Jun Mo Xiao proposed didn't include the Amber Crystal dropped by the wild Boss. It was originally the rarest and most valuable item on the list. He didn't want it. So, last night, Rock Wastrel Oupan dropped an Amber Crystal. This guy had it, so he didn't need it anymore?

Damn! He actually missed the Amber Crystal. Jiang You wanted to bang his head against the wall, but since the other party had already removed it, the price had actually decreased, which seemed to indicate that he was feeling some pressure! While thinking, Jiang You said, "Well, this condition..."

"Wait, I haven't finished transferring," Zhang Xinjie said, sending another message. Jiang You received it and was even more miserable. It turned out that there was no price reduction at all. The new list that had just been sent contained a bunch of other rare materials. These materials had eternal value, so even though Jiang You was in the Heavenly Domain, he could still basically estimate their value. The newly added materials were worth more than an Amber Crystal.

Jiang You cursed Jun Mo Xiao in his heart and closed the message.

"He agreed that if he loses, he won't touch any of our Tyrannical Ambition's records again, right?" Jiang You asked Zhang Xinjie.

"Yes, that's what I told him," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Then this condition is acceptable," Jiang You said. "But I'm afraid he won't keep his word!"

"Then we just won a team match for nothing, and it's not a big loss, right?" Zhang Xinjie said.

"That's right," Jiang You nodded, thinking silently. At this moment, Ye Weiyang, who was behind him, stood up and said fairly, "Jun Mo Xiao's credibility is still good. There are no bad records so far."

"Really?" In Jiang You's eyes, Jun Mo Xiao was despicable and cunning. He had ambushed a Boss for an hour and a half, secretly set up two traps. Looking at these things, Jiang You really didn't want to think of Jun Mo Xiao as a person with outstanding credibility.

"We can make the bet public. That way, if he goes back on his word, all the players in the server will see it, and see how he can still be a person," someone suggested.

"Uh, well..." Jiang You hesitated and glanced at Zhang Xinjie. He wanted to know how confident Zhang Xinjie was in this team battle, but if he asked, it would be like he was questioning Zhang Xinjie's strength. But if he didn't ask... this public bet was a double-edged sword! Didn't Around the Bank Willow just experience this? He challenged Jun Mo Xiao to the world to save face, but what happened? He lost so badly that he didn't even dare to log on to his account.

If they lost this battle, it wouldn't just be a loss of face for someone. The entire guild would be directly stepped on by Jun Mo Xiao, even worse than Around the Bank Willow.

"Vice-Captain Zhang, what do you think our chances of winning are?" Jiang You struggled for a while and finally asked, emphasizing the syllables of "our" with a heavy tone.

"In terms of individual skill alone, Jun Mo Xiao's level is above yours. That's why I invited him to a team battle. Team battles are about tactics, coordination, and team tacit understanding. You said that Jun Mo Xiao's team was built up bit by bit in the new server, and you have all been playing Glory together for a long time. It's obvious which team has better team tacit understanding, right? Individual skill might be their advantage, but we are more of a whole," Zhang Xinjie said.

"We're not completely losing to Jun Mo Xiao in individual skill! We still have Vice-Captain Zhang!" the Striker said.

Everyone laughed, but Zhang Xinjie shook his hand at the Striker beside him and said, "In team battles, controlling individual skill and coordinating with the overall rhythm is more important. Displaying your technical advantages to the fullest will only make you stand out and disconnect from the team, eventually becoming the team's weakness."

The Striker's flattery didn't work, so he was very embarrassed. Jiang You couldn't care so much. After talking for so long, Zhang Xinjie only said that they had an advantage. Jiang You hoped to get a data-driven answer about how much of a chance they had to win. Zhang Xinjie spoke again at this time, "But no matter what, this is still a match. As long as it's a match, neither side has a 100% certainty of winning. I can only say that theoretically, our chances of winning are greater, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the initiative to make such a bet with Jun Mo Xiao."

"Okay! Then accept this bet. We'll talk about the rest later!" Jiang You made a decision decisively. As for whether to spread the news and create public pressure, they would consider it later.
