Chapter 47 Glue

Glue was holding a short crossbow, only five steps away from the monsters. His positioning, attacks, Two-Shot, and Snipe were all incredibly skilled. Moreover, he was attacking precisely at the vulnerabilities in the monsters' attacks, never stopping, safe and efficient. It was indeed the efficient leveling method for archers that Gu Fei had inspired Yu Tian Shenming with, but hadn't yet fully developed.

"Hehe," Glue smiled, "Learned it from following Bai Shi. I'll use the crossbow for leveling from now on."

"Bai Shi knows this stuff?" Gu Fei asked.

"No, he just figured out the monsters' routines, and then I developed it myself based on the archer's skills and my attributes," Glue explained.

"Oh," Gu Fei understood. It was a replica of his exchange with Yu Tian Shenming, except that Glue had started much earlier and had now successfully developed it.

"How is it?" Glue asked for the master's guidance.

"Not bad, not bad. I should have brought Yu Tian over here, so he could learn from you. He's working on this routine right now!" Gu Fei said.

"It's not that difficult. The key is your research on the monsters' attack routines. It's incredible, after following the methods you taught, it's like we're controlling the monsters," Glue greatly admired people like Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jinglun. His words also revealed the essence of the efficient leveling method. It wasn't just about being familiar with the monsters' attack patterns and making reasonable attacks, but about using active attack methods to bring the monsters into one's own attack rhythm. The routines that Gu Fei and the others designed were like this, accurate every time.

The most important thing in this design was to understand the monsters' attack routines and test the monsters’ reactions under various attacks. Only experts like Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jinglun could do this step. Once this step was understood, any expert player could figure out how to bring the monsters into rhythm. Like Glue now, he hadn't been exposed to the monsters in the tenth city before, but after listening to Gu Fei's explanation, he had spent some time and already looked quite proficient. However, he was still a ways away from completion. After all, he wasn't a professional like Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jinglun, and his efficiency was still much lower.

"Not bad, not bad, you've got some skill," Gu Fei didn't skimp on his praise for Glue. However, the archer's method wasn't popularized in the tenth main city. It was still the Thieves, and the instructor who came to guide them was Xi Yao Wu, who loved to stir up trouble.

Gu Fei inconspicuously developed each area, then had the accompanying instructors learn from him first. Then, Gu Fei moved on to the next step, until all ten areas had been visited, and after all ten instructors had learned, they suddenly started free marketing in the ten main cities at the same time.

As a result, when the bosses of the major studios received the news, the same commotion was happening in all ten main cities. They couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, they only knew that the whole city was talking about the free efficient leveling method being popularized in their area. The most tragic one was Ying Qi, who was originally promoting a paid service, but was instantly deserted. Many of those who had already paid came back and demanded a refund, scolding Ying Qi Studio for fooling people and extorting players' hard-earned money with a paid service when there was a free one available.

Ying Qi was now in chaos, and he had to ask his boss whether or not to refund the money. As a result, Gai Shi Yingxiong was feeling depressed and wanted to die, and didn't reply for a long time.

Leaving the meeting, Gai Shi Yingxiong flew directly to one of the ten main cities. Wu Ye had already been waiting there, accompanied by the city's director, who was also an old employee of Ying Qi.

As soon as Gai Shi Yingxiong came out of the teleportation array, he saw many players running like crazy towards the leveling area outside the city. Studios definitely received news faster. This was still the dissemination period of the news, and countless players were rushing out of the city after hearing the news. Wu Ye asked the boss for his location, and ran over with the city director. From afar, he saw Gai Shi Yingxiong's black face, and Wu Ye stammered.

"Boss..." When he reached him, Wu Ye greeted him, not daring to say anything.

"Have you learned anything further?"

"We've already sent people to the leveling area outside the city to check, but there's no news back yet," Wu Ye said.

"The situation in all ten main cities is exactly the same?" Gai Shi Yingxiong asked.

"Yes," Wu Ye said.

"There wasn't any sign of it beforehand?"

"No, absolutely not. Before, you told us to pay attention to anything that happened, so we've been paying attention to the city and the outside, but all ten main cities suddenly had commotion, and after asking around, we heard that someone was doing a free efficient leveling method in the leveling area, so I quickly reported to you," Wu Ye said.

Gai Shi Yingxiong was stunned, and looked at Wu Ye: "So, you don't know if it's Qian Li Zui either?"

"Who else could it be besides him?" Wu Ye said.

"You haven't seen with your own eyes whether or not it's really an efficient leveling method?" Gai Shi Yingxiong asked.

"This... it can't be a joke, right?" Wu Ye also panicked. Indeed, they didn't have any first-hand information from the leveling area. They had only observed the commotion among the players in the city, and then heard the rumors. Plus, so many people were clamoring for refunds, so they didn't dare to doubt it anymore.

"Is there any news from the leveling area yet?" Gai Shi Yingxiong asked.

"I'll contact the others in the other cities and see," Wu Ye quickly contacted the directors of the other nine cities. After a while, he finally managed to get some news to report: "There's news from the leveling area in City XX. It's indeed an efficient leveling method, it's not fake. However, it's only for the Thief class, and it hasn't spread to other classes yet."

"One class?" Gai Shi Yingxiong was stunned. Wu Ye received another message: "There's news from City XX. The situation is similar, but it's the Warrior's efficient leveling method that has appeared, and no other classes have been seen."

"A conspiracy! This is a conspiracy!!!" Gai Shi Yingxiong was now convinced that Qian Li Zui had suddenly come to cause trouble not because of a personal grudge, but because he was working with Yun Teng.

That second-rate guy was investigating and dragging out the time, and the rest was to create time for Qian Li Zui. Why was there only one class's method in each city? Because there wasn't enough time! To develop enough for each city, ten main cities wasn't a matter of one or two days, so this guy went to one place in each main city, developed one class, and shot and changed locations, without revealing himself first. After he had gone through all ten main cities, he suddenly revealed everything in one go. With these methods, Gai Shi Yingxiong wouldn't believe that they hadn't colluded, even if he was beaten to death. But what could he do if he didn't believe it? There was no evidence at all. Qian Li Zui had a feud with their Ying Qi, so he was causing trouble when he saw Ying Qi doing this business. This reason was too perfect, so perfect that it was flawless.

"Where is Qian Li Zui? Has anyone seen him in any city?" Gai Shi Yingxiong asked.

"I don't know..." Wu Ye said.

"He taught in all ten main cities, and no one saw him?" Gai Shi Yingxiong was angry, but as soon as he got angry, he immediately realized that Qian Li Zui was the developer, but the one who taught the players was someone else, because Qian Li Zui couldn't be teaching in ten main cities at the same time.

"We're investigating who's teaching," Wu Ye said.

"Do you have any leads?"

"We just started investigating..." Wu Ye wiped his sweat. When the boss got angry, it always put a lot of pressure on him.

"Boss Gai, how's it going?" A message came from a studio boss.

Gai Shi Yingxiong was silent, he suddenly realized that he had made another mistake. He shouldn't have left the meeting! His departure had created an opportunity for Ya Xiaosuan Gen. He had offended Qian Li Zui, and that bastard Qian Li Zui was too destructive to the business of efficient leveling methods. Especially after he had recently popularized Yun Duan City, players in all the main cities were very envious and hoped that this great hero would descend from the sky and popularize it for them as well.

That’s why no one in the ten main cities had seen Qian Li Zui, and the one who taught them the efficient leveling method was definitely not Qian Li Zui, but everyone was convinced that Qian Li Zui had done it, and they were all singing his praises everywhere. Although each city now only had an efficient leveling method for one class, the other classes were definitely unbalanced, but everyone was still patient and waiting.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for their paid studios to get involved. People were counting on Qian Li Zui to come and save them! People don't want money, but you charge eighty, and it would be a good thing if they didn’t chop you when you came to their door.

If he had been at the meeting, that Ya Xiaosuan Gen might have been privately communicating with other guild leaders, explaining that they had to get rid of him in this deal. As a result, he had left now, and they didn't even bother to send him a message, directly giving a speech to the bosses there. That's right, how long had he been here? Someone had already sent a message asking if it had been dealt with yet. Hurry, hurry, hurry your ass. Gai Shi Yingxiong really wanted to curse. He knew that he was now a jinx in the eyes of all the bosses, a scourge. He had gone from being on an equal footing with Ya Xiaosuan Gen, an object that all the bosses were vying to curry favor with, to suddenly becoming a great god of misfortune that everyone avoided. It was like the business would be ruined if they stuck with him. The opportunity to earn some money and strike at Yun Teng at the same time, which he had finally found, was destroyed in an instant.

Qian Li Zui, Qian Li Zui. Gai Shi Yingxiong wished he could crush these four words in his mouth, and roared at Wu Ye: "Find Qian Li Zui for me!!"

Wu Ye scurried off to give instructions, telling each main city to put manpower into paying attention to Qian Li Zui's movements. And Gai Shi Yingxiong on this side summoned Yongyuan, telling him to clean up Qian Li Zui at all costs.

Gai Shi Yingxiong understood, if Qian Li Zui wasn't removed, his studio would never have peace. This time, he had ruined the efficient leveling method, and who knows what would happen next time.

Yongyuan received the message and quickly gathered the members of the Eagle Regiment. When everyone heard that the boss was going to go crazy on Qian Li Zui again, they were all a little helpless. This opponent couldn't be taken down with conventional methods!
