Chapter 108 Scheming Among Guilds

Each guild, while plotting to snatch other guilds' training targets, naturally wouldn't neglect protecting their own. They once again increased manpower to ensure their safety.

Blue River of Blue Brook Guild sighed after receiving the message from Guild Leader Chun Yi Lao. Another round of deceitful fighting was about to begin. It was tiring, truly tiring! That's why Blue River almost never led teams anymore. He preferred to be a pure fighter, attacking wherever the guild leader pointed. But there were plenty of such fighter-type talents in online games. What Blue River was valued for was his team leadership and management skills. Chun Yi Lao knew Blue River's feelings and took care of him. But when it came to big situations like this, he still valued Blue River's abilities and ultimately sent him to patrol the resurrection points of each main city.

Resurrection point!

This was something that each guild couldn't avoid during training. Even if they used priests for resurrection spells, the skill cooldown for resurrection spells was 30 minutes. Plus, characters had a limit on how many consecutive resurrections they could receive. So it was impossible to achieve seamless continuity with resurrection skills. Therefore, each guild inevitably had food-delivery characters going from the resurrection point to the feeding target during the training process. And these food-delivery characters had obvious characteristics: to improve efficiency, they usually didn't wear equipment.

Blue River quickly understood this and began assigning his subordinates.

Chun Yi Lao assigned him three five-man teams, plus Blue River himself, for a total of 16 people. There was a reason for this number. There were currently 32 main cities in the Heavenly Domain, meaning 32 resurrection points. Sixteen people, just enough for one person to be responsible for two main cities. Chun Yi Lao quickly made the arrangements and set off himself.

Kansas City was one of the two main cities Blue River was responsible for. When he arrived at the teleportation array, Blue River had already switched characters. His main account, Lanqiao Chunxue, was a celebrity in the online game world and attracted a lot of attention, making secret actions inconvenient. Now using a different alt account, Blue River remained low-key, choosing sparsely populated streets and heading quickly towards the resurrection point.

Reaching a suitable location, Blue River stopped.

By now, a certain amount of time had passed since the start of the event. Each guild's training should have entered a fixed cycle. As long as he stayed for a certain amount of time, Blue River believed he would find something. To ensure efficiency, no guild could possibly raise monsters in the deep mountains and forests, right? That would waste all their time on travel.

Blue River hid his character in this corner of the wall. During the event, there were many players, and the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade was quite difficult, so the death rate was high. Player characters were constantly being sent back to the resurrection point. Every time a white light flashed, Blue River's nerves were touched. At the same time, through careful observation, Blue River discovered that there seemed to be quite a few people near the resurrection point with the same intentions as him! Some were hiding in corners to peek, while others were strolling around the resurrection point as if waiting for someone. Blue River rotated his perspective and studied the surrounding environment. He finally sent a message to Chun Yi Lao, reminding him to be careful to conceal themselves because Blue Brook Guild wasn't the only one sending people to watch the resurrection point.

"How many did you find?"

Blue River was sending a message to Chun Yi Lao when a voice suddenly came from beside him, scaring him into a cold sweat. His character rolled on the spot and drew his sword. But when he saw the other character's name, he almost operated to drop his sword instead of attacking.

Lord Grim! (Jun Mo Xiao)

Could it be such a coincidence?

Blue River was in a daze.

Out of 32 main cities, the probability of 32 to 1, yet he had to encounter this most troublesome guy? And this guy even came up to talk to him. Had he already seen through his identity?

No... it shouldn't be. This was a coincidence. Because he was very careful, he chose the most cautious and safest route. And this guy didn't even need an alt account, directly using Lord Grim. Of course, he would take an avoidance route. So the fact that the two characters bumped into each other here was a coincidence within a necessity.

Blue River calmed down, and then… before he could speak, the other side had already asked, "Which guild are you from?"

He'd been seen through…

Blue River was disappointed. Although he was using a wild account without a guild, in the current situation, who could fool who? Hadn't Blue River just sent a message to Chun Yi Lao to warn Blue Brook Guild?

"I… from Herb Garden (Zhongcaotang)." Although Blue River was tired of the deceit, he still had to fight back when the time came. Although he didn't have any plans at the moment, hiding his identity was just something he did on the spur of the moment. Without thinking, Blue River threw himself into the ranks of Blue Brook Guild's biggest enemy, Herb Garden.

"Oh, so despicable, trying to steal other people's trained ghosts?" Ye Xiu said.

"Aren't you doing the same thing?" Blue River retorted, spitting blood. Long time no see, God, your shameless style is still as divine as ever!

"Haha, actually, I've already snatched one. Guess how I did it?" Ye Xiu said.

"How did you do it?" Blue River was stunned. Was God about to impart some tricks?

"I just passed by and picked it up. I was so lucky!" Ye Xiu said, sending a thumbs-up emoticon above Lord Grim's head.

Blue River resisted the urge to chop his sword onto his sword and gave a dry laugh, "So lucky."

"Any discoveries here?" Ye Xiu then asked.

"Not yet," Blue River said casually, then immediately regretted it. Why did he tell him that?

"That way, that way, and that way, those are all alts from various guilds, right?" Lord Grim raised his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and pointed in several directions.

"Probably," Blue River said.

"With each guild doing this, what do you think will happen in the end?" Ye Xiu said.

Blue River was stunned...

The guilds were acting too consistently. If only one, two, or three guilds sent people to keep an eye on the resurrection point, it might not be exposed. But now, however many guilds there were, that many people came. With so many suspicious guys near the resurrection point, it was difficult to hide them all perfectly. As a result, they discovered each other, and each sent messages to remind their own guilds. And then... then, of course, the "food" would hide their characteristics and wear some equipment, making them harder to identify. In this case, to distinguish this "food," you would need to look at their stats. Repeated sacrifices would definitely cause their stats to drop drastically. But checking stats was troublesome. At least from Blue River's current peeping position and distance, it was almost impossible to check the stats of players respawning in the resurrection point. He would need to get closer. But in that case, he would be openly monitoring them. If the other party was really in this main city, what would they do?

While Blue River was still reasoning, the figure beside him flickered. He looked over and saw that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already walked out. He stood in the center of the resurrection point in a grand manner, constantly rotating his perspective to monitor the players respawning in the resurrection point.

This guy has already done that!

Blue River was dumbfounded, quickly calculating in his mind. If he was directing the feeding of the Boss and suddenly received a message that Lord Grim was watching the resurrection point, what would happen?

He would definitely temporarily stop feeding immediately.

And then... then it would be difficult! Taking action against Lord Grim would be the same as telling the other party that his guild's wild Boss was here. Even if he could temporarily drive Lord Grim away, he would definitely come back. The resurrection point was always a dead end that couldn't be bypassed. Transferring the monsters was even more unrealistic. Could he send someone to protect the feeding character? That would just be waiting for all the guilds to rush over and encircle him! And considering that Boss training was all about feeding the team's characters, the people who came might be the various teams' Gods, which was terrifying! He couldn't, he absolutely couldn't do that.

Blue River was sweating just thinking about it. So he felt that being watched by Lord Grim in this way, the safest way was to temporarily sacrifice some time and stall with Lord Grim, expecting him to not have a reason to keep guarding this resurrection point.

Just as Blue River was thinking this, another character respawned at the resurrection point. This time, Lord Grim's gaze was locked on this character.

Could it be…

Blue River was stunned. He was too far away to check, but seeing that the character also stopped in shock after seeing Lord Grim, Blue River had a hunch that this was the person they were looking for.

Which guild is this? They still dare to teleport?

Blue River was puzzled. He didn't think he was particularly intelligent, so he believed that the other guilds could also think of the problems he could think of. Knowing that someone was watching them in such a domineering way, they shouldn't still be exposing themselves! But just as he thought of this, Blue River suddenly realized that there was one possibility: that the people from that guild didn't know that someone had taken such an arrogant action at the resurrection point.

The major guilds had just begun their deployments, then noticed each other, and were thinking about adjusting. Plans couldn't keep up with the changes, and there were bound to be shortcomings. The people from this guild had already put on their equipment, which meant that they had also learned about the situation of mutual surveillance. But they hadn't had time to send people to their own resurrection point, and they were lacking in this area of intelligence. They were just extrapolating from the situation they saw at the resurrection points they were investigating. As a result, they boldly continued with their equipment. Who would have thought that there would be an accident at their point?

Were they too careless?

Of course. But then again, who but Ye Xiu could be so domineering as to monitor them so openly?

Blue River finally felt that this guild was unlucky. It was very unlucky that Ye Xiu had come to their main city, and as a result, he had exposed their fox tail.

"Kansas City, there's a guild training, but the specific situation is temporarily unknown," Blue River immediately sent the intelligence to his guild.

As for the guy at the resurrection point, since he had been discovered by Lord Grim, it was impossible for him to take them to the training location. This alt character simply logged off.

"Looks like we can have a big fight here," Lord Grim walked over and said to Blue River.

We? Blue River wondered, who is "we" with you?
