Chapter 1 Silver Moon and Bu Xiao

Silver Moon and Bu Xiao headed toward the coordinates Ye Xiaowu had indicated. Each harboring their own secret agenda, neither spoke for a while.

Bu Xiao never imagined he'd be burdened with the crucial task of delivering a fatal blow to Qianli Yizui. Although he often fantasized about such a scenario, when the opportunity actually presented itself, his first thought wasn't anything heroic, but retreat. At that moment, he felt like a duck being forced onto a perch. Could Qianli Yizui really fall so easily to his blade? Bu Xiao seriously doubted it. He had to carefully assess the situation; if anything seemed amiss, he'd bolt immediately.

Silver Moon, being the support, didn't face the direct risk of confronting Qianli Yizui, but he already envisioned the consequences of a failed plan. As a thief, Bu Xiao could outrun Qianli Yizui, but Silver Moon would be utterly doomed. Qianli Yizui's full-agility build would allow him to catch up in no time. He had to carefully observe the situation; if anything seemed off, he needed to make preparations in advance, or he'd definitely be unable to escape.

Both having resolved to secure their escape routes, their expressions lightened somewhat, and they finally had the leisure to examine the other. Bu Xiao was already quite displeased with Silver Moon, while Silver Moon was thinking about how he'd need Bu Xiao to entangle with Qianli Yizui to buy him time to escape, so he acted even more friendly.

"Brother Bu Xiao! This is your chance to make a name for yourself. If you stab Qianli Yizui to death, I'll immediately go offline and cheer you on in the forums. When you take the lead, the two of us will rise again together," Silver Moon said.

Bu Xiao cursed inwardly, thinking that this kid definitely wanted to use him as a pawn, and that these words were clearly trying to lure him into a fight to the death with Qianli Yizui. Thinking this, he smiled very happily on the surface: "You don't need to be too modest. It still depends entirely on the enhancement from your 'King's Command' state. You have to stick close to me. If I don't manage to kill Qianli Yizui with one blow, you can quickly follow up with a sword strike."

Upon hearing this, Silver Moon's heart also skipped a beat, realizing that Bu Xiao was indeed as cunning as he was, and seemed to have sensed his intentions. These words were clearly saying, 'I'm going to risk my life, and you won't be idle either.'

"Hahaha..." Silver Moon remained impassive, laughing as he said, "We're both in the same boat now, advancing and retreating together. It's just a pity that I can't stealth. Revealing myself too early would only alert Qianli Yizui, which wouldn't be good."

"Oh, hearing you say that, I've come up with a good idea," Bu Xiao said.

"What idea?" Silver Moon asked suspiciously.

"You and Qianli Yizui have a deep grudge. He'll definitely try to kill you if he sees you, right?" Bu Xiao asked.

"What do you mean?"

"If you suddenly appear during the fight, I think it will definitely attract a significant portion of Qianli Yizui's attention. In that case, it will be easier for me to approach him and easier to succeed, don't you think?" Bu Xiao smiled pleasantly.

"No, no... Qianli Yizui's attack speed is amazing, and he also has instant movement. If I show myself, he'll probably use instant movement to come over and kill me instantly, in less than a second. Although my cheap life at level 30 or so isn't worth much, the problem is that I wouldn't achieve the goal of attracting attention, and my 'King's Command' state would also be gone. Wouldn't that implicate you, Brother Bu Xiao?" Silver Moon said.

"Brother Silver Moon, you forgot that there are other people lying in ambush. We have to consider the damage that these people will inflict on Qianli Yizui. Qianli Yizui is a full-agility mage, so he doesn't have much mana. I think by the time we make our move, his mana will already be almost exhausted. Without mana, how can he use instant movement and magical attacks?" Bu Xiao said.

"Brother, we can't use common sense to speculate about Qianli Yizui," Silver Moon said seriously. "Who knows if he'll use magic to consume mana to deal with those people? As far as I know, he didn't use any magic when he was chasing you, Brother Bu Xiao, right?"

"Haha, everyone was at a low level at that time. Besides, I'm such an insignificant character that it's not worth him using magic. But now is different from then. Brother Silver Moon, you also know the skills of Duan Shui Jian, right? How could Qianli Yizui deal with him as casually as he dealt with me?" Bu Xiao said.

"Not so, not so, brother, look..."

The two guys continued to speak in a strange and sarcastic tone, outwardly harmonious, but with veiled sarcasm, ridicule, and even personal attacks hidden within their words. Both had the same thought: I'll take the advantage, you go die! As a result, they were evenly matched. They continued to "harmoniously" discuss until they reached the coordinates without reaching any conclusion. It was truly difficult for their good eloquence.

"This place..." Upon arriving at the location, the two's silent battle finally ceased for a while. Both began to observe the terrain. Bu Xiao walked around and discovered that the street corner two hundred meters away led directly to the trade center, which was a super safe zone. Bu Xiao turned around and saw that Silver Moon was still wandering around on another street. He quickly ran over to stop him, pointed toward the street corner, and said seriously: "Brother, let's stop joking around. That's the trade center over there. When the fight starts, don't worry about me if you find the situation is wrong. Seize the time to come this way. I'll try my best to hold him back for a while."

Silver Moon was stunned and tightly grasped Bu Xiao's hands: "Brother, I don't know what to say."

Bu Xiao withdrew one hand and lightly patted the back of Silver Moon's hand, saying, "At your level, I estimate that you won't even want to play anymore if you lose another level. You must protect it."

"Because of these words, I won't drop a level again," Silver Moon nodded fiercely.

"Okay!" Bu Xiao also nodded, then looked around and asked, "I don't know if the others lying in ambush have arrived yet?"

"Ask!" Silver Moon said, sending a message to Ye Xiaowu, telling him that they were already in position, but they didn't see the others lying in ambush.

"Hehe, it seems they're hiding very well. You two didn't notice that they were lying in ambush?" Ye Xiaowu said.

"Where are they?" Silver Moon was very confused.

"Where exactly are you now?" Ye Xiaowu asked.

"Right here at the corner of this T-junction, at the coordinates you gave," Silver Moon said.

"Then, look in the southeast direction," Ye Xiaowu said.

Silver Moon looked in the southeast direction: "Look at what?"

"What's over there?" Ye Xiaowu asked.

Silver Moon suddenly realized: "Those two stalls at the street corner?"

"That's right!" Ye Xiaowu said.

Silver Moon tugged at Bu Xiao and pointed out the two stall players to him.

"Our own people?" Bu Xiao asked.

Silver Moon nodded.

"These two guys... aren't even level 40!" Bu Xiao frowned.

Silver Moon raised this question to Ye Xiaowu. Ye Xiaowu only replied faintly: "You're not even level 40, and you're still a very important figure."

Silver Moon immediately understood that level wasn't the key, the key was probably that these two people had some special skills. Just like his "King's Command" and Bu Xiao's "Vanish," these were skills that ordinary players didn't have, and they had obtained them for special reasons.

These skills themselves might not have any abnormal power, but the key was that their existence was beyond the knowledge of ordinary players, so they would inevitably be caught off guard when they suddenly encountered them. Everyone had experience with skills that everyone knew, such as Whirlwind Slash, Backstab, and Rapid Fireball, but what about when you encounter a skill that you don't understand at all?

Suddenly, Silver Moon's confidence greatly increased. He originally thought that these characters used to besiege Qianli Yizui were all cannon fodder, but now it seemed that everyone probably had a set of skills, each using their unique skills to confuse Qianli Yizui, and finally, he and Bu Xiao would launch a fatal blow. This plan was truly brilliant!

"Besides these two people?" Silver Moon asked again.

"You can't see the stealthy thieves. When they are needed, others will pass by," Ye Xiaowu said.

"I see, the timing is all calculated?" Silver Moon asked.

"As long as you have a clear understanding of the terrain, the timing can be calculated at any time. Now Duan Shui Jian is still searching for Qianli Yizui's whereabouts. You two should also hide yourselves first and avoid attracting attention," Ye Xiaowu said.

"No problem!" Silver Moon and Bu Xiao were not weak in this regard either. And after hearing Silver Moon relay Ye Xiaowu's arrangement, Bu Xiao, like Silver Moon, instantly ignited with confidence. Originally, he thought that everyone was just a group of desperate people, but at this time he discovered that the plan was so meticulous, and his sense of security also became stronger.

The two of them disguised themselves and waited patiently. Thinking that they would have a chance to kill their enemy Qianli Yizui next, they were both nervous and excited, and even the backs of their hands were sweating.

"Attention, attention!!" After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the two suddenly received a message from Ye Xiaowu. They immediately faced the enemy as if they were facing a great threat. Both of them took up their weapons and hurriedly replied to the message: "Direction, direction."

All roads led here. The two needed to know clearly which street Qianli Yizui would come out of. As a result, just after they finished asking, they saw players suddenly popping out of several streets, with unclear intentions, but their direction was obviously towards the street where the two of them were located.

"Damn, that's how you pass by!!?!" Silver Moon was furious, feeling that these guys were too outrageous. Weren't they supposed to be pretending to pass by? They were running so energetically, which was too eye-catching, right? They were far worse than those two who were pretending to set up stalls. The quality of the staff was too uneven and it was really a big trouble. Back when he was the president of the guild...

Silver Moon's thoughts wandered, and these popping players quickly came to the street corner and looked around, looking as ostentatious as possible. Silver Moon couldn't bear it anymore. Although he felt that he was a hidden character and shouldn't expose himself in advance, if they continued to do this, the whole trap would be exposed. What was the point of hiding himself?

Silver Moon was about to reach out and gesture to the guy in front of him, signaling him not to make such a big commotion. He finally waited for this person to turn towards him. Silver Moon couldn't wait to make a gesture, but suddenly he saw the face of the person and his neck twisted almost automatically, and he turned his head to the side. At the same time, his thoughts began to twist: How could it be him???

This "him" was just an ordinary character for ordinary players, but for Silver Moon it was an exception, because this was a former companion of his from the Moonlit Night City's Qianchen Guild.

People like this would definitely shout and kill Silver Moon if they saw him now. In an instant, Silver Moon felt that he understood Ye Xiaowu's painstaking efforts. No wonder he had always felt that he was not very involved in the plan. It turned out that there were still such characters, and it was indeed inconvenient to meet. It was the best choice to launch an attack from a hidden perspective at this critical moment.

Thinking this way, Silver Moon actually had a bit of an overall-situation mindset. He pretended to be a passerby and wanted to stay away from that guy. Silver Moon was now extremely professional at pretending.

As expected, that player didn't recognize Silver Moon, and Silver Moon secretly rejoiced. It was inconvenient for him to show his face, and he was planning whether to ask Bu Xiao to remind these guys not to be too arrogant, or to find those two stall players.

After thinking about it, Silver Moon felt that finding Bu Xiao was a bit obvious, and it would be easier to pretend to buy goods and communicate privately with the stall players. As a result, when his gaze turned to the two stall players, he saw that the two of them were feeling a little frightened in the face of so many players suddenly rushing out of the street corner. At this time, they were packing up their stalls as if they were about to leave.

"Is Qianli Yizui about to appear? Are they going to make a move?" Silver Moon's gaze turned around, but he couldn't find the figure he feared at all.

And these two players had already finished packing up and left one after the other. Silver Moon suddenly realized that something was wrong and was about to send a message to ask, but he received a message from Bu Xiao: "It's troublesome, I saw my enemy!!"

"Your enemy?" Silver Moon was puzzled.

"July, from the Cloud City side, I don't know how she ran here!!!" Bu Xiao said.

Silver Moon was stunned. He encountered a former guild colleague who had a grudge against him, and Bu Xiao also encountered a woman he had a big dispute with. The two stall players actually left on their own...

"Damn, could it be a setup???" Silver Moon replied.

"What?"

"I also met my enemy! Also, those two stall guys withdrew. Where are you now?" Silver Moon asked.

"I've stealthed," Bu Xiao replied.

Silver Moon was about to cry, because just now, he discovered another of his former guild comrades. Two in a row, this shouldn't be a coincidence, right? These people seemed to be looking for someone here. Could it be that they were looking for him??? Bu Xiao's enemy also appeared here, could it be that they were looking for Bu Xiao??? Bu Xiao has stealth, and even if he runs, he has speed, so escaping might not be difficult, so what about himself? Moreover, his enemies were much more terrifying than his! Old colleagues, old opponents, how many people would there be? Could it be that everyone had already arrived here?

Silver Moon didn't dare to look at those players who had suddenly rushed here. He was walking his own path like a normal passerby, not hurriedly, but he knew that he couldn't rush it.

"Silver Moon, where are you going?" Suddenly, Silver Moon heard such a shout, which shocked him pale. Sure enough, as soon as this sound came out, the players in the field greatly rioted, and their gazes began to stare at those players who were preparing to pass by at this time.

Was it that kid Bu Xiao? Silver Moon didn't recognize who it was for a while, and immediately thought that perhaps Bu Xiao deliberately shouted out to make himself noticeable, and he took the opportunity to escape. As a result, before this thought was over, he immediately heard another shout: "Bu Xiao, don't stealth!!!"

"Trap, it's definitely a premeditated trap!!!" In this instant, Silver Moon had no doubt that this was definitely a big trap designed for him and Bu Xiao. Silver Moon angrily opened his friend list and questioned Ye Xiaowu: "What do you mean, why did you betray us?"

The coordinates were given by Ye Xiaowu, and the ambush was also said by him. At this time, Silver Moon completely understood that the ambush didn't exist, but the trap did, but it was aimed at him and Bu Xiao.

Silver Moon just didn't understand. He and Bu Xiao had no grudges with Ye Xiaowu at all. Why would he design them like this? Especially himself, his original situation was very bad. It was Ye Xiaowu who pulled him out of the fire pit, but now he was pushing himself back in again. What was the point of this?

The message sent by Silver Moon was like a stone sinking into the sea and received no reply at all. At this time, he didn't dare to pretend to be calm anymore, because the shout that he didn't know who had shouted just now made those old colleagues of his in the field start to carefully inspect the players who were passing by and leaving. If they still couldn't recognize him in this situation, that would be really strange. Silver Moon saw that two people were already walking towards him. He quickly glanced at the surrounding situation, suddenly raised his sword and waved it, and after the golden light bathed his body, he turned around and ran.

"It's Silver Moon, he's here!!!" These people knew what Silver Moon's "King's Command" skill looked like. As soon as they saw this golden guy, they immediately recognized him. Many people in the field immediately turned around and pounced in this direction.

After single-target enhancement, all attributes are increased by 30%. With the leadership ring, Silver Moon reactivated the Sword of the King. The damage of this sword was not covered. Silver Moon, who rushed out, successively overturned two players who came to block his way. At this time, he had no other choice, only the trade center two hundred meters away...

This place was pointed out to him by Bu Xiao. The two of them had been arguing verbally on the way here. Silver Moon really didn't believe that Bu Xiao's kindness in leading him to this escape route would be anything good. But at this moment, he really didn't have any other choice.

And Bu Xiao's situation was indeed much better than Silver Moon's. With the advantage of stealth, he didn't rush to expose himself. He had been secretly observing Silver Moon's actions.

As soon as he saw Silver Moon suddenly start to act, he immediately ran towards the route he had chosen long ago...

Bu Xiao, who pointed out the trade center to Silver Moon, really didn't have any good intentions. He expected that Silver Moon would know the location of the trade center, so once things changed, if Silver Moon didn't want to die, he would only have one choice: to temporarily avoid this place. In this way, Bu Xiao would be equivalent to knowing the next actions of everyone, because everyone would inevitably be chasing in that direction.

What Bu Xiao wanted to occupy was only this one step advantage, but this was originally only aimed at Qianli Yizui, but he didn't expect that things would suddenly change and so many opponents would suddenly appear. But no matter who the opponent was, no matter how many there were, Silver Moon's retreat was only one way.

Bu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, because he found that there were more people chasing Silver Moon than those who stayed behind to look for him.

Bu Xiao still didn't dare to act rashly, because he saw that Qianli Yizui had already appeared on the street.
