Chapter 1 Here I Am, Late

Hearing someone coming, Ci Xin thought it was Shi Feng, so he turned his head towards the entrance.

However, the person who walked in was not Shi Feng at all, and there was more than one, but a group.

These people were clearly a twenty-man team, and their equipment was very good, almost all a mix of bronze and Mysterious-Iron, with more Mysterious-Iron-grade, and a few wearing level 10 class sets that could only drop from team dungeons. Although scattered, it was definitely top-tier equipment for the current stage guilds.

The leader was a Guardian Knight, a bearded man around twenty-five or six years old, with a mischievous smile on his face. He wore a set of red and white heavy armor, carrying a blood-red cross shield as tall as a person and a blood-red longsword. He looked awe-inspiring, and who knows how many young girls he could fascinate.

"No way, that Guardian Knight is wearing a level 10 Mysterious-Iron-grade Bloodlight Set!"

"The halo emanating from that shield and longsword is also Mithril-grade. How have I never seen such equipment?"

The Assassin Alliance members whispered among themselves as they saw the leading Guardian Knight.

The Mysterious-Iron-grade Bloodlight Set only dropped from ten-man Hard Mode team dungeons. To be able to assemble a set now showed just how strong this team was.

"They seem to be from the Dark Star Guild." After carefully observing, Ci Xin suddenly noticed that the guild emblems these people wore were Dark Star. Then, he observed the Guardian Knight again and was suddenly shocked, "He is Dark Star's Wei Wo Du Kuang."

Chen Mo Can Jian's face was gloomy at this time.

Dark Star, with Wei Wo Du Kuang at the top of the level rankings, plus having obtained two Hard Mode dungeon first clears, was already in the ascendant in White River City. He didn't expect them to act so quickly, already starting to strategize for twenty-man team dungeons. If they really got their hands on it, the Assassin Alliance's position in White River City would be even more awkward.

Because when the Assassin Alliance first entered White River City, they had the advance preparation of the luxurious edition White River City strategy guide, which allowed the Assassin Alliance to flourish for a time, making many players think that the Assassin Alliance had the possibility of surpassing first-rate guilds.

Now that Dark Star had risen, players naturally compared the Assassin Alliance with Dark Star, making the Assassin Alliance's position in White River City very awkward.

"Oh, isn't this the president of the Assassin Alliance? What a coincidence." Wei Wo Du Kuang looked at Chen Mo Can Jian and said with a grin, "It's a pity that even if you come, it won't mean anything. It's just a wasted trip because the Orc Armory's Hard Mode first clear already belongs to our Dark Star Guild."

The other Dark Star members looked at the Assassin Alliance, their faces also showing disdainful smiles.

Now, throughout the White River City area, Dark Star's momentum was obviously stronger than that of the Assassin Alliance, and Dark Star's development history was much shorter than the Assassin Alliance's. The Assassin Alliance's advantage was just that it had a longer history and better benefits, but the future Dark Star would definitely surpass the Assassin Alliance.

"I'll wait and see." Chen Mo Can Jian naturally wouldn't be provoked, he just replied coldly.

Only those who had experienced the twenty-man Hard Mode dungeon knew what it was like. Arguing with a kid about who could get the Hard Mode first clear was meaningless.

Seeing that Chen Mo Can Jian was not provoked, Wei Wo Du Kuang was not interested and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this time, a low voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Sorry, I'm late." The speaker was Shi Feng.

Because he had to repair his equipment, store items, and also put the sturdy stones up for auction, it took a lot of time.

"Brother Ye Feng, you've finally arrived." Ci Xin was still angry about the provocation, but when he saw Shi Feng, his mood improved a lot, and he quickly greeted him.

Chen Mo Can Jian, on the side, saw Shi Feng for the first time. He found that Shi Feng was still wearing a set of bronze equipment, and his level and other equipment were unclear. Moreover, looking at Shi Feng's age and appearance, he was obviously very young and did not have the sharp temperament that a top expert should have. However, being able to clear the Hell Mode Dark Moon Graveyard with Bai Qingxue, plus the previously widely circulated combat video, and being the first player to enter White River City, he should have some skills.

However, dungeon runs were not the same as fighting others. Although Shi Feng's combat power was strong, team dungeons could not be cleared just by having strong combat power, so Chen Mo Can Jian had always been pessimistic about Shi Feng.

"Hahahaha, this is really hilarious. So this is the famous Assassin Alliance? You even need to ask an outsider to help with a team dungeon, and it's even a free player. It seems the Assassin Alliance is nothing more than this. I always thought of you Assassin Alliance as opponents before. I was really blind." Wei Wo Du Kuang glanced at Shi Feng, then looked at Chen Mo Can Jian, and couldn't help laughing.

"You!" Ci Xin wanted to shout angrily, but he couldn't say anything.

Because it was the truth.

The other Assassin Alliance members also lowered their heads, their faces full of shame. At this time, they all felt resentment towards Ci Xin. Although this resentment had existed for a long time, it was just too embarrassing now, and they all wanted to drive Shi Feng away directly, but they couldn't say it.

After Wei Wo Du Kuang finished mocking the Assassin Alliance, his gaze shifted to Shi Feng, and he pretended to be surprised and sneered, "I thought the Assassin Alliance had invited some big shot. Isn't this the first player to enter White River City, the former number one on the level rankings, Ye Feng?"

"I'm really sorry, how rude of me. I accidentally snatched your first place. I really didn't expect you to be so easily surpassed. Alas, wait, why isn't your name even in the top 100? It seems that one's good luck is limited. Without strength, you will be surpassed faster. What do you say, little brother Ye Feng?"

Although Wei Wo Du Kuang couldn't see Shi Feng's level, he didn't think Shi Feng was that great either. Otherwise, why wouldn't he show his level? The only possibility was that his level was too embarrassing. Clearly, he was the first player to enter White River City, but his level was surpassed by the vast majority of players. Naturally, he hid his level because he was ashamed. This could be said to be the most reasonable explanation.

"Brother Ye Feng, let's ignore him. Let's go to the dungeon." Ci Xin was afraid that Shi Feng would be angry and leave in a huff, so he quickly pulled Shi Feng away from the Dark Star people.

"All the players in White River City have been comparing you Assassin Alliance with our Dark Star. I used to feel quite honored, but now I think it's really embarrassing. Please don't compare our Dark Star with you anymore. We really can't afford to lose face." Wei Wo Du Kuang didn't care about a washed-up expert at all. His gaze shifted to Chen Mo Can Jian again, and he smiled coldly and mockingly.

"That's right, this is still a top-tier second-rate guild? Bah, it's clearly not even third-rate."

"The Assassin Alliance is really declining. If I were them, I would have killed myself by now. They actually let a lucky newbie join, thinking that this would allow them to clear the Hard Mode Orc Armory. Don't make me laugh."

"How can you say that? It's called birds of a feather flock together. A trash guild can only find trash people. If it were our guild, we would have kicked these trash people out long ago. Letting these trash enter the team would definitely lower our IQ and strength."

"You're wrong about that. The Assassin Alliance is so strong that they're not afraid of noob teammates at all. They can still clear the Hard Mode Orc Armory. Our Dark Star can't compare to that."

Dark Star and the Assassin Alliance had long been irreconcilable. Now that they had such a good opportunity, they would certainly not let it go, so they satirized the Assassin Alliance in various ways.

Suddenly, the entire atmosphere of the Assassin Alliance was extremely oppressive and infuriated. They all stared at Ci Xin.

The resentful gazes did not cause Ci Xin any heartache. On the contrary, Ci Xin felt very sorry for Shi Feng. Originally, this was Dark Star's mockery aimed at the Assassin Alliance, but now even Shi Feng was being ridiculed along with them.

At this time, Shi Feng couldn't stand it anymore. If it continued like this, they wouldn't be able to do the dungeon. He wanted to get the Wind Annihilation Set and the Fire Resistance Formula, so he couldn't let Dark Star ruin it.

Helpless, Shi Feng stepped forward. His dark eyes, as deep as the stars, glanced at Wei Wo Du Kuang, and then he smiled faintly and said, "I'm very curious. If the trash that you despise suddenly takes the Hard Mode Orc Armory first clear before you, then what are you? Aren't you even worse than animals?"
