Chapter 367 Another One Arrives

Chapter 124 Withdrawal

Qian Cheng eventually left the guild. Blue River was mentally prepared for this and wasn’t too surprised. However, Ye Qiu’s method of proving his identity was truly something that made Blue River want to cry.

However, after Qian Cheng left the guild, Blue River felt a sense of relief. He was familiar with everyone in his guild, and except for Qian Cheng, none of the others were fans of Ye Qiu. Using this identity to show off again would be completely useless. People like Xi Zhou had already known about Lord Grim’s identity.

Just when Blue River thought everything was fine, countless messages suddenly flooded in. Blue River opened them and saw that most of them were from the older members of the guild, all asking about Qian Cheng’s departure.

This made Blue River sweat again. The elites in the first group indeed didn't have any Ye Qiu fans, but if you expanded that range, it would be hard to say. In any case, it was impossible for Blue River to tell everyone that Qian Cheng had gone to follow Ye Qiu. That answer could very likely cause another talent drain in Blue Brook Guild.

"It's nothing, it was his own choice," Blue River had no choice but to answer vaguely.

Fortunately, Qian Cheng wasn't a very popular character in Blue Brook Guild. It was just that after being around for so long, everyone was somewhat used to him, and suddenly seeing him leave, they naturally had their doubts. When it came to nostalgia, unless they considered the impact of Qian Cheng’s skills on the guild’s strength, probably no one would care about Qian Cheng’s departure from a personal standpoint.

"Do you have anyone else in your guild like Qian Cheng? Just tell me directly, it'll save me the trouble of testing them one by one, I'd feel bad," Lord Grim's message actually popped up at this time.

"You still know how to feel bad..." Blue River was too exhausted to even make a retort.

"Of course," Lord Grim actually said in a serious tone.

"No more… As you can see, the people who idolize you are usually Battle Mage players," Blue River replied.

"That's true." Lord Grim's reply even included a nodding emoticon, but he quickly added another line: "But we seem to see a Launcher?"

Blue River broke out in a cold sweat. How could he forget that there was still Su Mucheng, an All-Star player, on the other side! When it came to technical skill, Su Mucheng couldn't be considered top-tier, but with her looks and various publicity stunts, she had influence that wasn't inferior to even the大神 (dàshén, great god) level players. There were definitely tons of Launcher fans of Su Mucheng.

Blue River panicked for a moment, but after seeing the name of his guild’s Launcher, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is a Launcher, but even if you called Su Mucheng, you wouldn't be able to get this one to leave," Blue River replied.

"Oh? A guild character?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you just kick him out?"

"Get lost!!!!!!" Blue River roared. After being a spy for five days, Blue River's temper had obviously become more volatile, for some unknown reason…

"It seems that Blue Brook Guild really doesn't have anyone left." Ye Xiu had been seriously studying the list of these high-level players. He was quite clear that his identity would mostly work on Battle Mage players. A few years ago, he might have been a national idol. But in recent years, Glory had been continuously developing, with all kinds of experts emerging, and it was an era of brilliant stars. In comparison, his influence was not as great as it used to be.

If he expanded the scope, it wouldn't be difficult to find people using this method. But the problem was that Ye Xiu now needed players who were at least level 40 or higher in order to challenge the level 40-43 Thousand Waves Lake dungeon record. This was currently the main battlefield for competition among the major guilds.

"Couldn't find even one?" Chen Guo asked from the side.

"For those at a higher level, even if we can poach the person, we can't poach the character. We need high-level characters now, the person is irrelevant," Ye Xiu said.

"What about the others?" Chen Guo asked.

"This is the only one." Ye Xiu pointed to a character at the back of the top 100 on the level rankings. The name was Ma Houpao (马后炮, literally "after the fact cannon"), the class was Launcher, and it belonged to the Misty Rain Guild.

"Launcher…" Chen Guo understood Ye Xiu's intentions as soon as she saw the class. She had been watching the whole process and witnessed Ye Xiu's poaching methods. Chen Guo didn't find this kind of method of relying on her own professional god shameless at all, but instead felt very cool. If it were up to her, she would just shout in the world, "I'm Ye Qiu, follow me if you like me" and be done with it.

"This requires Mucheng to go. But…" Ye Xiu hesitated.

"Hmph, she's definitely not as thick-skinned as you!" Chen Guo said.

"Let her figure it out herself!" Ye Xiu said, sending a message to Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain, briefly telling her about this matter.

"Oh, let me see," Su Mucheng's reply was simple.

In the end, Su Mucheng was even more efficient than Ye Xiu. In just a few minutes, she replied, "Done."

Ye Xiu clicked on the level rankings again, and the guild affiliation column for Ma Houpao, like Qian Cheng not far from him, was blank, obviously indicating that he had also left the guild.

"How did you do it?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Nothing much, I just added him as a friend and said that Happy Guild is recruiting, and that Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng are stationed here, asking if he was interested," Su Mucheng replied.

Adding friends wasn’t difficult for any of them. Lord Grim's fame was definitely the greatest, but the names of his teammates were also well-known.

"And then?"

"Then of course he was very surprised, so I told him that I'm actually Su Mucheng!" Su Mucheng said.

"And then he believed you?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Of course not. Then I gave him a phone number and said, 'Call this number to ask if you don't believe me,'" Su Mucheng said.

"Whose phone number did you give him?"

"Huang Shaotian's, doesn't he like to talk? Of course I had to give him this opportunity," Su Mucheng said.

"Hey…" Ye Xiu sweated. After all, phone numbers were private, especially for a大神 (dàshén, great god) like Huang Shaotian, exposing his phone number so casually was a bit too much.

"Just kidding! I videoed with him, isn't that enough?" Su Mucheng said.

"Oh, oh…" Ye Xiu suddenly understood. He hadn't thought of this method because it was useless to him. No one recognized him, so what was the point of a video? Su Mucheng was different, her exposure rate was unparalleled.

"Alright, in five days, we'll be able to put together a first-tier team. Let's use these five days to practice together," Ye Xiu announced.

"Is this class composition okay?" Chen Guo asked.

"It's problematic… but it's still better than not having enough people," Ye Xiu said helplessly. This team consisted of two Battle Mages and two Launchers, making it monotonous to the extreme.

At this time, Blue River glanced at the level rankings again and was shocked to discover that another character, Ma Houpao, had appeared with a blank guild affiliation, just like Qian Cheng. He immediately knew that Ye Qiu had succeeded again. Speaking of which, Blue River had also noticed this person and guessed that he was Ye Qiu's next target. Now, seeing that it was indeed the case, another Launcher had been lured away with Su Mucheng's fame. In this way, Happy Guild had really assembled a high-level dungeon team.

Thinking about the super-powerful methods that allowed them to control the dungeon records just by studying the dungeon strategies, Blue River felt that the future of the major guilds in the tenth server had become completely bleak. What methods would the major guilds use to counter this? Blue River pondered to himself, and he suddenly forgot that as the head of Blue Brook Guild's tenth server, this should be a problem he was seriously considering how to deal with, rather than speculating about others like a bystander.

At first, the people of the major guilds wouldn't constantly pay attention to the level rankings like Blue River. But eventually, someone inadvertently noticed.

Two characters had lost their guilds. Initially, the major guilds didn't think too deeply about it. When they saw high-level people without guilds, the first thing the leaders of the major guilds thought of was to quickly recruit them into their own ranks. As a result, Qian Cheng and Ma Houpao successively received enthusiastic invitations from all the major guilds in the server.

After receiving the replies from the two, all the guilds learned the truth as if struck by lightning.

These two high-level players were also going to join Happy Guild??

Just like Blue River's initial thoughts, the presidents of the major guilds didn't think that people of this level could be poached by Happy Guild. According to the information sent back by the characters who had infiltrated Happy Guild, Happy Guild was clearly unable to compete with them in the level 40-43 Thousand Waves Lake dungeon record because they didn't have high-level characters. And this could be said to be a consequence of Lord Grim's flashy performance in Sin City. If he hadn't made that move, there definitely wouldn't be a first-tier team that was so far ahead of other players. In this light, Happy Guild could be said to be suffering the consequences of their own actions, bringing it upon themselves.

The major guilds were originally excited about this! Who would have thought that they would suddenly discover that two high-level players had actually been persuaded by Happy Guild, this news made them feel extremely uneasy.

What are Blue Brook Guild doing? What are Misty Rain Guild doing?

The guilds that let go of the two high-level players were collectively despised. Most of them, of course, didn't know about Ye Xiu's poaching methods, they were just lucky enough not to have encountered it.

"In five days, Lord Grim will lead a team to snatch the dungeon record!" The high-level members of the major guilds were hotly discussing this issue.

"Five days… Can we widen the level gap a bit more?"

"We can't widen it by much! Lord Grim's team has always been able to take down records without needing to reach the highest level for the dungeon. Unless we widen the gap by a whole dungeon segment, widening it by one or two levels is meaningless."

Everyone was silent, everyone was helpless.

As a result, the presidents of the major guilds formed another discussion group and prepared to deal with this difficult problem together.

"How could Blue Brook Guild and Misty Rain Guild let go of such high-level characters?" This question was the first to be raised in the discussion group.

"The answer is terrifying, are you sure you want to know?" Blue River sent a message lightly. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
