Chapter 123 Cooperation

It wasn't just Lan He who sent a message. People from the three major guilds also sent messages. Ye Du Hantan, Che Qianzi—those who knew Lord Grim's identity all addressed him as "Great God." In addition, there was Yan Yu Cangcang from Misty Rain Guild, and some other guilds also came to test the waters in a brazen manner, as if they weren't among the guilds that coveted the Christmas thieves that Ye Xiu had gathered.

"It depends," Ye Xiu replied to everyone, using only these three words.

"Great God, if we keep dragging this out, neither of us will benefit!" Lan He replied. He had left people stationed below the clock tower before, and in the end, he witnessed that Ye Xiu's side had only three characters, and many stolen gifts couldn't be taken away and were refreshed by the system, which was truly heartbreaking.

Lan He and the other veterans calculated the scores on the Christmas Hunter leaderboard and estimated the gains of the top three in this wave of large-scale monster gathering. They found that this approach didn't give them much profit, but it was a big blow to the others. Everyone was already worried that Lord Grim would repeatedly do this. They cheered when they saw him go offline, but they didn't expect him to be back in half an hour, so they had to come and test the waters.

Cooperate with Lord Grim?

It wasn't as if no one had come up with this idea. Relying on Lord Grim's methods, it was possible to suppress other guilds. When the time came, as long as their guild members could be on the same team as him, they could naturally guarantee their profits, and the Christmas gifts wouldn't be wasted.

However, gathering monsters on such a large scale couldn't be done without anyone noticing. Once exposed, they would definitely be attacked by other guilds. At that time, they might end up with nothing to show for it, and not only would they not be able to shine on the leaderboard, but they would also suffer heavy losses from being besieged by the guilds.

After weighing the pros and cons, the guilds that had this intention eventually gave up on the idea. In the end, they all came to test the waters, hoping that Lord Grim wouldn't gather monsters like this anymore. Everyone could develop peacefully and seek mutual benefit. They didn't seek rankings, but at least they shouldn't compress everyone's resources with such actions.

It wasn't just Lan He who made such a suggestion; others were also helping to analyze the pros and cons. At this moment, everyone seemed like friends.

Ye Xiu, however, saw things more clearly than they did. Speaking of which, these guilds had suffered an unwarranted disaster. Originally, they had no intention of dealing with Lord Grim at all. Competing for the leaderboard? After Excellent Dynasty occupied the top 15 spots and the guild leaderboard was far ahead, the guilds already understood Excellent Dynasty's investment in the tenth server, and no one really wanted to care too much about this temporary leaderboard.

Only Excellent Dynasty cared, and only Excellent Dynasty was unhappy to see Lord Grim's rocket-like speed of usurpation, so they dispatched Sword and Spell to set up the Coiling Silk Formation to deal with Lord Grim.

As a result, the formation was broken, and Ye Xiu didn't want to continue to entangle with them like this, so he directly used a large-scale monster-gathering move. Although he didn't benefit, Excellent Dynasty was badly hurt. Having the top three spots taken away made them hate him to death. What Chen Yehui didn't know was that Ye Xiu had revealed the whole story to the various guilds, and the guilds were immediately furious.

They felt like they had been implicated by Excellent Dynasty and had become scapegoats.

Understanding this reason didn't make the guilds like Lord Grim, but they had one more target to hate.

Excellent Dynasty!

Seeing this guild dominate the Christmas Hunter leaderboard was already annoying enough, and now that they understood the whole story, many guild leaders immediately went to customize their name cards again.

At this moment, Ye Xiu took the initiative to make a suggestion.

Cooperation!

And Ye Xiu's proposed cooperation fundamentally dispelled the previous concerns of the major guilds.

The major guilds wanted to cooperate with Lord Grim alone, so they were naturally afraid of being attacked by the others. But Ye Xiu meant that everyone should cooperate together, just excluding guilds like Excellent Dynasty who liked to make trouble.

This suggestion was a perfect fit. After several guilds contacted each other and discussed it, they also felt that it was very feasible.

The only thing that was more troublesome was the distribution of the stolen gifts.

The points for killing Christmas thieves were naturally divided among everyone in the team by the system. But these stolen gifts were free to pick up. In this way, whoever picked up more and whoever picked up less was likely to cause disputes. After all, this wasn't one guild, but several, and everyone was actually a competitor. Even if they wanted to cooperate, they couldn't trust each other.

This problem became the biggest obstacle at the moment. The leaders of the various guilds couldn't come up with a convincing solution no matter how much they talked.

"Let's just rely on luck!" In the end, Ye Xiu suggested, "Anyway, everyone is in the same team, and we can't hurt each other. Picking up items depends on who's faster!"

This was equivalent to a solution that said nothing, but it was the most acceptable solution for everyone at the moment. After saying this in advance, those who picked up less could only blame their own slow hands and couldn't blame others.

After the plan was finally established, the team was immediately formed.

The limit for forming a team in Glory was ten people, and the team limit was ten teams, which meant that a team could accommodate up to 100 people.

Now that there were as many as 12 guilds participating in the cooperation. In the end, each guild sent eight people, scattered in 10 teams, plus Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Soft Mist, totaling 99 people.

Of course, each guild had more than just this many players. However, the number of people in the team was limited, so they could only do this. Concentrating the points and experience could help them train an elite team with a higher level. Therefore, the 8 people who participated were all the top players in their respective guilds.

Excellent Dynasty Guild used a human wave tactic in the tenth server. Other guilds were unwilling to bet everything on this and were at a slight disadvantage in confronting Excellent Dynasty. And the means of confrontation they could take was to take the elite route.

Excellent Dynasty Guild had more experts, and they could try to cultivate a team, an elite team. After all, a team only needed to break the dungeon record once.

And the current cooperation was a chance for them to cultivate an elite team.

If this cooperation went smoothly, everyone's profits might not be that great, but the key was that this cooperation would greatly weaken those guilds that were kicked out of the game, and Excellent Dynasty was one of them. After this ebb and flow, Excellent Dynasty would gain less experience in the event, and their levels would be widened. Their human wave advantage would be greatly constrained by the level advantage of the elite teams of the guilds.

Time was of the essence. After the plan was finalized, the huge 99-person team immediately took action. The players began to scatter in all directions towards the City of Sin. The plan also began with finding monsters.

And Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was currently accompanied by Tang Rou's Soft Mist and Su Mucheng's Wind Following Smoke on his left and right, but he didn't move for the time being.

Before long, several guild players who had rushed out were flipped over, and behind them was a Christmas thief.

Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim to meet them and attack!

One after another, the hatred of the Christmas thieves quickly shifted to Lord Grim. Because they were all members of the same team, no matter who the Christmas thief hated, it wouldn't affect its ownership. A team was one entity, so in a team, the hatred of the Christmas thief would still be transferred. If you wanted to grab hatred, one person wouldn't hit, and the other would, and you could quickly take it back.

After a few players brought the Christmas thief, they turned around and left. Ye Xiu didn't spend much effort to leave a few Christmas thieves behind, and then he didn't stay here, but began to wander around.

After that, a steady stream of Christmas thieves, either he went to pick them up, or people sent them, in short, they were constantly concentrated behind him.

The train started again, and this time, the carriages were connected faster, because this time Ye Xiu had more than 90 assistants who were specifically responsible for attracting monsters.

"That guy is starting again!" Chen Yehui didn't know what was going on, but when he heard a subordinate report that Lord Grim had started the train again, he immediately became annoyed.

"We must stop him no matter what," Chen Yehui instructed.

The Excellent Dynasty players were in a sorry state and went to execute the order again. At a certain street intersection, a team of players intercepted Lord Grim. Just as they were about to attack, a laser cannon blasted towards them. Su Mucheng acted faster than them.

Tang Rou's Soft Mist also rushed up with her spear, and the speed of her movement startled all the players. Fighting Spirit, in the next 20 hours of this Christmas event, Soft Mist would always have this skill.

The Excellent Dynasty sent out experts, who could always entangle with Tang Rou for a while. However, who would dare to compete with such a high-level skill that shouldn't have appeared here? As for Wind Following Smoke, the nine words "player expert and professional player" were enough to explain everything.

A small team's interception was easily broken through, leaving a gap.

The others were still chasing, and then they saw a scene that made them a little confused.

Ahead, a Tyrannical Ambition guild player passed by with a Christmas thief, and Lord Grim went up and, in a few hits, actually stole the Christmas thief's hatred.

The Christmas thief's first attack belonged to him, and this could only happen if Lord Grim and the Tyrannical Ambition players were on the same team.

This news was quickly transmitted to Chen Yehui. Chen Yehui was stunned and immediately understood what was going on: "Tyrannical Ambition actually cooperated with Ye Qiu?"

Ye Qiu was someone Chen Yehui hated, and so was Tyrannical Ambition. Don't forget that Chen Yehui was still a member of Excellent Era, the president of the Excellent Dynasty guild. To say which team he hated the most, which guild he hated the most, it was of course Tyranny and Tyrannical Ambition.

Now that two annoying guys were cooperating, hate plus hate was twice the hate.

"Tyrannical Ambition actually dares to cooperate with Lord Grim, hmph, that ignorant thing," Chen Yehui sneered. He felt that the guild that cooperated with Lord Grim at this time would be the target of public criticism, and this just gave him a chance to unite everyone to sanction Lord Grim.
