What's the point of breaking records?

Tang Rou was speechless at the question. She wasn't confused! Wasn't breaking records what Ye Xiu had led them to do in the first place? He even meticulously planned practice sessions for each dungeon every day. And now he was asking her what the point of breaking records was.

"You're asking what the point of breaking records is?" Tang Rou countered.

"I'm doing it for materials, everyone knows that. What about you guys?" Ye Xiu asked.

"To seek guidance from the senior and improve my skills," Qiao Yifan answered without hesitation.

"Hahaha, it's more fun to play with老大," Bao Zi Invasion said.

"Hehe," Su Mucheng just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Mucheng..." Tang Rou tried to pull in an ally. The two girls in the team had a pretty good relationship.

So Su Mucheng had to tell the truth, "I'm here to help him get materials."

The cruel truth was laid bare. None of the people in this team cared about dungeon records. Those who cared about dungeon records would eventually walk a lonely road.

"Anyway, we're running dungeons. It's not bad to break records while we're at it!" Tang Rou stubbornly struggled.

"That's true," Ye Xiu said, "But in the current situation, if we take the record again, those big guilds will continue to harass us endlessly. It's pointless to get entangled with them."

Ye Xiu was finally getting to the main point. This was the real reason he chose not to openly break records anymore.

With his experience and skills, he wasn't afraid of being besieged by these big guilds. If he was really just playing the game, he wouldn't mind messing with the big guilds. But right now, what would he gain from fighting and killing with the big guilds, even if he killed all their players? Ye Xiu wasn't here to have fun.

"Breaking dungeon records isn't a problem in itself, but in this delicate situation, the aftermath of breaking records will waste a lot of our time and energy. It's like now, everyone is preparing to enter the dungeon at 12 o'clock, but we're still cautiously approaching the dungeon entrance from the entrance of First Line Canyon. We're not afraid of the people from the guilds, but fighting with them isn't the initial intention of everyone here. Fighting with them is just wasting our time and energy," Ye Xiu said.

"老大, 老大! I think it's quite fun to snatch their Bosses," Bao Zi Invasion said enthusiastically at this time.

"Bao Zi, this is just the new server. It's too low-class to snatch these small Bosses! Let's level up quickly and go to the Heavenly Domain. There are more Bosses there, more expert players, and stronger guilds. Don't you think that would be more interesting?"

"Hmm..." Bao Zi Invasion responded, seemingly thinking. Five seconds later, he shouted, "Let's level up quickly, everyone!"

"..." Tang Rou was speechless. This Bao Zi was too easily swayed.

"Yes, yes, level up quickly and go to the Heavenly Domain," Ye Xiu said, while sending Tang Rou a private message: "The landlady is still waiting for you in the Heavenly Domain!"

This guy!

Tang Rou was stunned. She had been neglecting Chen Guo by playing the game like crazy, and that had been bothering her these past few days. She also wanted to play with Chen Guo more, but they were in different servers after all. Even if they sat together, they were basically playing their own games, and their gaming lives couldn't intersect for the time being.

This Ye Xiu seemed even more obsessed with the game than she was, yet he had noticed these things. This guy, after explaining the purpose of the game, was now playing the emotional card…

However, it was quite effective! After hearing these words, Tang Rou found that her desire to level up quickly had suddenly become stronger, and dungeon records were pushed to the back of her mind. For someone with her personality, it was extremely rare for her to intentionally put aside something like competing for dungeon records.

After thinking about it, Tang Rou replied to Ye Xiu's message and immediately said, "Oh, then let's level up quickly!"

"That's right, that's the way to do it!" Ye Xiu said.

"Level up quickly, everyone, and clear the dungeons faster!" Tang Rou shouted.

"Huh?" Ye Xiu was suddenly stunned. Leveling up quickly meant clearing dungeons quickly, but clearing dungeons quickly meant trying to break dungeon records, right? But then he opened the newly arrived message, flipped it open, and saw a naughty smiling face emoji sent by Tang Rou. Ye Xiu knew that this girl was intentionally teasing him, and he casually replied with a "big sweat" emoji.

"Keep up the good work, no matter what you're doing it for," Tang Rou replied.

"You need to work harder. Your goal is to defeat me, which is very difficult," Ye Xiu replied.

After a long time, Ye Xiu received Tang Rou's reply: "I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find an emoji to express my current mood."

"Haha," Ye Xiu smiled. Tang Rou was able to calmly accept such a thing in the end, considering her competitive personality. Ye Xiu had even more regard for her. This girl wasn't someone who acted arbitrarily.

Tang Rou stopped replying to messages, but Ye Xiu's messages were still busy. While running the dungeon, he was constantly communicating with two people.

One was Mo Guang, whose newly released dungeon guide for dummies had received good feedback, but there were still many unpleasant voices among them. Some guys hadn't even looked at the guide and were already spouting nonsense, criticizing it like gods. Mo Guang had been reading replies and comments all day, even arguing with these guys, resulting in a bellyful of resentment. He was now pouring out his grievances to Ye Xiu.

"There will always be such voices. You don't need to pay attention to them. There's nothing wrong with your guide. It's their loss if they don't believe it," Ye Xiu replied.

"But some people are clearly deliberately making trouble without even looking at it," Mo Guang said dejectedly.

"They haven't even read your guide, why are you reading their comments?" Ye Xiu said.

"I only know they haven't read the guide after I read their comments!" Mo Guang said.

Ye Xiu was speechless. How come this kid was a bit like Bao Zi Invasion, single-minded? What he meant by "reading" was just a symbolic way of speaking!

"Comments made without reading your guide aren't worth paying attention to," Ye Xiu had to put it more simply.

"Ai, ai, ai..." Mo Guang sighed. The Great God's words made him feel better, but his worries couldn't be eliminated with just a few words. While Mo Guang also agreed with what Ye Xiu said, he couldn't help but peek at the comments, and he immediately started sulking again when he found something unpleasant.

"But your guide hasn't reached its limit yet," Ye Xiu suddenly sent another message.

"Ah?"

"But don't blame yourself. Given your situation, it's perfect that you've been able to do this much. If you're just observing videos and guides from predecessors, it's really hard to innovate. Innovation requires experience and practice to verify, and you lack both of those. I'll send you a copy of a more extreme guide that I've modified, so you can take a look!" Ye Xiu said.

"Ah? Did you, Great God, make it?" Mo Guang asked.

"Yeah!" Ye Xiu said, as he was already sending the innovated guide document to Mo Guang on QQ.

Mo Guang quickly received it and immediately started reading. When he saw the first part, he immediately sent a message to Ye Xiu in the game: "Ah! It can actually be done like this. I should have thought of it earlier!"

"You're seeing it now, so of course you're suddenly realizing it," Ye Xiu said.

Mo Guang continued reading, constantly sighing and discussing with Ye Xiu.

"How do you usually level up?" Ye Xiu asked Mo Guang.

"Quests..." Mo Guang said.

"You can't get a party for dungeons, right?" Ye Xiu asked. He was well aware of the situation. Summoners, especially new summoners, had a hard time finding a team in dungeons. If summoners summoned too few summons, then the output would be very weak, like doing nothing; if summoners summoned too many summons, and didn't command them well, it would be a chaotic mess, blocking teammates' movement, blocking teammates' vision, or blocking teammates' attacks, which would be very annoying. So over time, more and more players didn't like having summoners in their party. It was very common to say "no summoners" when grouping with random players.

Although there were many new players in the new server, the disadvantages of summoners when grouping were undeniable facts. After grouping a few times, everyone would discover it. So the habit of "no summoners" also spread quickly, eventually leading to a large number of summoners standing guard at the dungeon entrances, continuing to maintain their honorary title of "dungeon doormen."

"Yes..." Mo Guang's answer confirmed Ye Xiu's guess.

"Actually, a five-person dungeon can be soloed by summoners. Although it will definitely be slower than a five-person run, the experience gained alone is higher. If you're skilled, the experience gain efficiency is about the same as a five-person team," Ye Xiu replied. With his abilities, any class could solo, but for ordinary players with average skills, summoner was a class that had certain advantages in soloing.

"Uh, I've tried that too," Mo Guang replied. Summoners had all become dungeon doormen, so most of them had self-reliantly studied soloing. Some people had persevered, some had failed, and Mo Guang seemed to be the latter.

"If you have time later, I'll take you for a run!" Ye Xiu said. With Mo Guang's skills, Ye Xiu estimated that soloing was indeed difficult.

"Ah, that's great, thank you, Great God," Mo Guang was naturally very happy, and then asked, "Great God, are you planning to release this guide too?"

"No, I'm selling it," Ye Xiu replied.

"Ah?"

"Selling it to the big guilds so they can use it to break records and earn some materials," Ye Xiu replied.

"Ah, ah, ah, that's amazing."

"So don't let anyone else see it yet, or it won't be worth anything."

"I understand, I understand," Mo Guang replied quickly. He could understand the guide, so he also knew the value of the guide. Although Ye Xiu had only modified some things based on his guide, they were all the finishing touches. If you only said it was a dungeon guide, then there was no difference, but if you said it was a dungeon record guide, then Ye Xiu's was the real deal.
