Hu Die Lan
Chapter 389 Seizing the Opportunity to Snatch a Bargain
The response to the meeting was lukewarm. The tension and fatigue of bearing this kind of pressure was something that the guild leaders had never experienced. They valued the results more, and for the hardships in the process, they would only encourage everyone with words like "persist, persist, and persist."
If this weren't a club guild, no one would pay attention to it. It's just a game, to relax and entertain yourself, who would work so hard? But when it comes to the club guild level, the game is no longer a game, it's a career, a struggle goal. Although the president's mobilization didn't have any effect at all, it did show the attitude and policy, and the elites could only follow the instructions and grit their teeth and carry on.
Looking at Happy, Ye Xiu got up and replaced Chen Guo. Although Chen Guo didn't complete any kill quota this morning, she did brush a lot of experience by leveling up. As soon as Ye Xiu took over, he immediately took action, leveling up while turning around everywhere. Soon he encountered a leveling player from 301, and naturally, he mercilessly destroyed him.
Tang Rou got up just before or after Ye Xiu, but she didn't come to the game, but went to the front desk to take over the cashier shift. Ye Xiu saw it, but was stunned. He had been so involved in guild construction these past few days that he always felt like something was different. When he saw Tang Rou go to the front desk to take over, he suddenly remembered: Since returning from the All-Star Weekend, he seemed to have never gone to work again!
Ye Xiu sweated heavily, glanced at Chen Guo beside him. Chen Guo couldn't possibly not know that he hadn't been to work these days, but she didn't say a word.
"I say..." Ye Xiu opened his mouth.
"Hm?" Chen Guo turned her head.
"Who's on the night shift lately?" Ye Xiu approached the topic indirectly.
"None of your business." Chen Guo was more direct.
"Then... me..."
"Build a guild and establish a team, that's your job!" Chen Guo clenched her fist.
"..."
"What? Looking at you, it seems like you're not very satisfied?" Chen Guo squinted at Ye Xiu, who was silent and seemed to have something to say.
"It's nothing, I just think you're making a killing," Ye Xiu said.
"Me? What am I making?" Chen Guo was puzzled.
"Working as a night shift internet cafe attendant, that salary is very appropriate; but now you want me to do these things, that's not my worth!" Ye Xiu said.
"You're selling favors after getting a good deal!!!" Since knowing the truth about Ye Xiu's identity, Chen Guo's tolerance for Ye Xiu has obviously increased. Many things are pleasing to the eye, and she hasn't been angry for a long time.
"Isn't it?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo was slightly startled, and then thought about it, but found that what Ye Xiu said was true. As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. He is the top god in the Glory circle. If he is asked to do tasks, that is an ordinary salary. However, if he is allowed to play Glory, that is the embodiment of his value, and the salary is naturally not the same.
"Then what do you want?" Chen Guo was a little uneasy. If she really had to raise Ye Xiu as a professional god, she wouldn't be able to afford it.
"I don't want anything, just saying." Ye Xiu said.
"Give you a raise?" Chen Guo said this with a lack of confidence. Ye Xiu is currently getting only an internet cafe attendant's salary. Even if it is increased tenfold, it is not enough for his status as a professional god!
"No need, no need, room and board are fine." Ye Xiu nodded and said.
Chen Guo watched Ye Xiu concentrate on the game again, and didn't know what to say for a while. Turning her head and fiddling with the game, she suddenly came back to her senses. From the tone and meaning of this guy's opening remarks, he should be a little embarrassed because he hasn't been to work for several days, right? How come after a few words, she felt like not letting him work was a crime, and that she was taking advantage of him?
"Oh, another one!"
Chen Guo was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Xiu's surprise, and quickly went to look at Ye Xiu's screen. She saw Lord Grim bravely rushing towards a figure leveling up in the distance. But as the distance got closer and closer, after seeing the ID on the character's head, Ye Xiu was disappointed again: "It's not..."
There were 12 guilds participating in the leveling activities in Thousand Wave Lake. Excluding Qian Cheng and Ma Houpao, who were no longer considered part of their organization, there were still 94 people. However, not everyone was Ye Xiu's target. Like those who didn't participate from the beginning, and those like Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition who paid protection fees, Ye Xiu naturally wouldn't take action. The one in front of him was not the target.
"It's hard to find them this way!" Chen Guo said.
"That's right." Ye Xiu said, opening his friend list and clicking on Blue River: "Any news!"
"What's the news!!!" Blue River added three exclamation marks to express his tone.
"Have you found the target's whereabouts?" Ye Xiu said.
"What target!!!"
"You know."
"..."
"This is obviously also beneficial to your guild, what are you hesitating about?" Ye Xiu messaged.
Blue River was also puzzled, indeed! Doing so would obviously be of great benefit to his own guild, but why did he always have a sense of resistance in his heart?
"Look at Tyrannical Ambition, how sensible they are!"
Ye Xiu said, while manipulating Lord Grim to set off again. He didn't just ask Blue River this message, he also asked Tyrannical Ambition's Ye Du Han Tan the same question. Ye Du Han Tan was much less principled than Blue River, and quietly greeted the elites leveling up in Thousand Wave Lake. At this time, receiving Ye Xiu's message, he first expressed some regret: "God, you weren't here this morning? We had at least three pieces of information this morning! It's such a pity."
"Oh, what about now?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Only one."
"I'll go first," Ye Xiu replied.
Ye Du Han Tan readily sent a name and coordinates, so Ye Xiu mobilized Blue River while continuing on his way. In addition to these two guilds, there were three other guilds. However, these three were neutral outsiders. They thought that they wouldn't get any benefits from this kind of competition, so they wouldn't participate. Just like they wouldn't join forces with the guild to suppress Lord Grim, they wouldn't join forces with Lord Grim to add trouble to other guilds, so Ye Xiu simply didn't look for these three.
Taking Ye Du Han Tan's intelligence, he quickly killed another person. Ye Xiu opened a notepad and wrote a note on it. Chen Guo leaned over to take a look. Listed on it were the characters of the seven guilds. Each character was killed once, and Ye Xiu would mark an "x" symbol behind it. At this glance, Misty Rain Pavilion was really miserable! The "xxx" behind that character was a mess.
"Are the people from Misty Rain Pavilion still there?" Chen Guo couldn't help but ask, they had been killed like this.
"I haven't encountered them yet." Ye Xiu said, while clicking on a friend: "Let me ask."
"Are you still leveling up in Thousand Wave Lake?" Ye Xiu sent a message to Misty Rain Wisp.
Misty Rain Wisp was in tears! What kind of arrogance is this! But they were helpless and could only avoid him.
"What do you want to do!" Misty Rain Wisp's heart was crying, but the reply was still quite tough.
"It's nothing, it's just a friend of mine who wants to know." Ye Xiu said, looking back at Chen Guo. Chen Guo, who was watching him chat, was speechless at this time.
"We will not compromise." Misty Rain Wisp implemented the spirit proposed by the guild leader.
"What a coincidence, me too," Ye Xiu replied.
Misty Rain Wisp cried even harder. What do you mean, me too! They were suffering and toiling here, while others probably just regarded it as a bit of entertainment after dinner!
"Be careful not to let me run into you!" Ye Xiu sent another message, very caringly threatening Misty Rain Wisp. Misty Rain Wisp was startled, and before he could close the message, he made the character turn 360 degrees three times in a row, carefully confirming whether this guy was approaching him.
"When will this day end..." Misty Rain Wisp looked at his experience and painfully beat the monsters. Even if he leveled up day and night without being ambushed, it would still take a few days to leave the Thousand Wave Lake leveling area!
On the Tyrannical Ambition guild side, although they had actively and insidiously provided Ye Xiu with some information, they didn't regard Ye Xiu as an ally. Not to mention anything else, but just this identity, in Tyranny, he would always be an opponent.
"Has the Excellent Dynasty side had any reaction today?" Jiang You kept thinking about his original idea.
"Didn't see it." Ye Du Han Tan said.
"Could it be that those idiots still can't see that no one can do anything to Ye Qiu now?" Jiang You muttered.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed, and the sky gradually darkened. There were more and more players in the game, but there were still so few people in Thousand Wave Lake. The lake was still beautiful, but for the vast majority of players, the lake was full of crises.
This afternoon, players leveling up in Thousand Wave Lake were killed eleven times. Seven guilds repeatedly exchanged information and confirmed this situation.
This result was all achieved by creating coincidences, but they were accidentally encountered so many times. Was it because the other party's character was too good, or was there something wrong?
"Is someone selling us out?" No one is a fool. With the relationship of only interests between the guilds, it is easy to think of this. This is also the reason why the major guilds, knowing that they are not dealing with each other, still repeatedly engage in allied actions. Allies can at least ensure that no one will add trouble.
Now, there are guilds that are detached from the alliance, which is of course easily suspected. However, suspicion is suspicion, but there is no evidence in hand. Even if there is evidence, what can be done? You can't start a guild war, right? There haven't been any large-scale guild wars between club guilds for a long time, because of the mutual restraint of strength. Any two that start a war will not benefit them in the end. The guild leaders of each guild have understood this principle after so many years of struggle and operation.
"Such losses are still bearable, but those two-faced and three-knife guys are really annoying," Heavenly Justice Star of Herb Garden said hatefully.
