Chapter 148 Opportunity

Gai Shi Qiying casually dropped a couple of words and left, leaving Yi Fen Ban Miao in a daze. Wu Ye called him several times before he snapped out of it and continued his inventory. Yongyuan and his buddies glanced over, smiled and nodded at the two, then went back to their corner without a word.

But Yongyuan's plan was already underway. Except for those who still had PK value (player-killing points) to burn off, everyone else began logging off to rest. Wu Ye had to be the monitor. Gai Shi Qiying seemed not to be speaking to him, but actually gave him instructions in a message. Wu Ye inwardly groaned. He had to relay messages about Qianli Yizui logging on and off. Was he supposed to stay online forever without rest?

The boss was in a moody state, speaking in a sarcastic tone. Wu Ye didn't dare say much. Seeing the boss disappear, he quickly said goodbye to Yi Fen Ban Miao and ran over to Yongyuan.

"Hey, man!" Wu Ye called to Yongyuan, even though they had never been formally introduced.

"What's up?" Yongyuan always seemed affable, no matter his mood.

"Uh, Qianli Yizui is online right now!" Wu Ye said.

"I know." Yongyuan smiled. "Once he logs off, I'll have to trouble you to let us know." Yongyuan did know Wu Ye's name.

"But what if I log off too?" Wu Ye asked his concern.

"Then we'll all log off and rest." Yongyuan replied with a smile.

Wu Ye immediately understood. Without him, there would be no information, so everyone would clock out together. He never thought he would have such an important position just because he had a friend on his list. Wu Ye felt a surge of elation.

"How about I give you my contact information? You guys can rest more when I'm online. As long as Qianli Yizui isn't around, I'll contact you immediately." Wu Ye was quite the people person. With Ying Qi Studio falling apart, he had no target for networking. Now that he finally had a group trusted by the boss, he quickly tried to curry favor.

"That's great!" Yongyuan didn't refuse Wu Ye's goodwill and immediately gave him his offline contact information.

This war, the most widespread in history, spanning nineteen main cities in Parallel World, temporarily entered a standstill. Although the scope was broad, the number of participants was minimal. No one even noticed. On the Yuèyè City forum, the factions supporting the Ten Guild Alliance and the studio were still fiercely arguing, unaware that the battle had long shifted away from Yuèyè City. Even Yun Zhong Mu was helpless when he learned of this. He could guarantee that he hadn't asked anyone to find trouble on the forum, yet a bunch of people suddenly popped up to speak on their behalf. He didn't even know who they were. Things on the forum were sometimes even more inexplicable than in the game.

Gu Fei had waited so long, and this was the only battle he got. He thought he would be bombarded with requests for help from all over the place, but the Eagle Platoon was cautious. They retreated as soon as they detected anything wrong, and no other warehouses were harassed. On the wanted list, three more Eagle Platoon players had disappeared, with only three left who were about to have their PK values completely cleared. Suddenly, Gu Fei remembered that in the previous battle, that warrior had killed someone from the Ten Guild Alliance. That meant the guy should have built up some PK value again. Although he didn't know the name, he could try them one by one...

"Qianli Yizui logged off!" At the warehouse, Yongyuan, though he accepted Wu Ye's offer, didn't actually log off to rest. He stayed with his partners in the warehouse, burning off PK value and unable to go anywhere. He saw things through to the end. There were still three of them, plus himself, leveling up. Wu Ye, who was doing the inventory, hurried over from the other side.

"Just now?" Compared to Wu Ye's surprised excitement, Yongyuan's expression was much calmer.

"Yeah!" Wu Ye said.

"Wait a few more minutes, just in case he only logged off to go to the bathroom or something." Yongyuan continued playing cards unhurriedly.

Wu Ye didn't say much and went back to his business. About ten minutes later, Yongyuan came over and asked him, "Is Qianli Yizui still gone?"

"Yes, he hasn't logged back on." Wu Ye said.

"Good, looks like the opportunity has come!" Yongyuan's spirits lifted. "I'll go get the others." He teleported away, logged off, and summoned his comrades. Some of the Eagle Platoon members had logged off to rest, but others thought that since they didn't have any PK value, Qianli Yizui wouldn't be able to find them, so they were doing their own private things in the game. Now, receiving Yongyuan's summons, they were gathering in groups of four. A large number of scrolls had already been prepared in advance near the various warehouse locations, specifically for teleportation. But only Yongyuan knew which location to attack. Everyone was waiting at the city gate mailbox, waiting for Yongyuan to mail them the scrolls. Then they would teleport to the destination.

Some were returning to the city gate mailbox from leveling areas, while others were logging on and rushing to the city gate mailbox from the resurrection point. Everyone moved methodically, but the speed wasn't particularly fast. But Yongyuan wasn't worried. The longer the time dragged on, the less likely Qianli Yizui was to log back on, which made him even more confident that Qianli Yizui had really logged off to rest.

Ba'erze Main City. This was originally the first stop on Wu Ye's inventory route. The original director in charge here was Sheng Ru Xia, but Yun Zhong Mu personally led people to guard the place. Wu Ye was inexplicably killed twice, and Sheng Ru Xia cleverly chose to avoid the situation under Yun Zhong Mu's threats and inducements, hiding offline and never showing his face.

After Yun Zhong Mu left, he returned to the tavern to discuss the grand plan with Han Jia Gongzi. At this time, he only left three players silently guarding the area. They were lonely when suddenly a burst of white light appeared at the intersection, the light of a teleportation array. When the light faded, the thirty members of the Eagle Platoon were seen rushing over menacingly.

"Eagle Platoon!!" The three shouted in unison and quickly sent a message to Yun Zhong Mu.

"Withdraw!" Yun Zhong Mu gave the order without hesitation.

The three also had teleportation scrolls. Yun Zhong Mu knew that this battle with the Eagle Platoon was high-level, so he distributed many teleportation scrolls to everyone, investing all the money they had gotten after helping Qianli Yizui.

The three immediately teleported away before the Eagle Platoon could reach them. Yongyuan still didn't dare to be careless, instructing everyone to maintain their formation and carefully watch every player on the street. He was worried that one person teleporting away was just a ruse, and there were actually other lookouts waiting for them to step into the perfect trap, and then they would either appear or teleport in to attack together...

The Eagle Platoon was careful and vigilant. Finally, they arrived at the warehouse door. This was the most tense final moment. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, but nothing happened. The player closest to the door pushed it open, and everyone filed in one by one. There were no opponents to be seen. The warehouse in Ba'erze Main City was retaken so easily.

"No resistance at all. Did they recognize their weakness and give up on fighting us head-on, or do they have other plans?" Yongyuan pondered his next move while making scrolls in the warehouse. The Eagle Platoon members were all looking at him, waiting for his order.

Yongyuan silently sent out another batch of scrolls before saying in a low voice, "Next one!"

The teleportation array activated, a new main city, the same street, the same four guards in front of the warehouse door, the same unison shout after seeing thirty players teleporting out: "Eagle Platoon!"

"Charge!" Yongyuan pointed his sword, and the Eagle Platoon bravely charged towards the warehouse. But this time, the four guards outside the warehouse didn't retreat as quickly as the previous three. Yongyuan vaguely felt that something was off. A message flashed. Yongyuan had a premonition and opened it. Sure enough, it was from Wu Ye: "Qianli Yizui is back online!"

"Ambush!" Yongyuan shouted. Bursts of white light suddenly appeared at both ends of the street, the light of teleportation arrays. The Ten Guild Alliance had blocked the street from both sides, and on the rooftops on both sides of the street, the white light of teleportation arrays sent people down, mostly mages. There was the powerful Piaoliu, and even Qianli Yizui, who Yongyuan was trying to avoid.

"Everyone in the Eagle Platoon, can you still escape this time?" Yun Zhong Mu stepped out from the front of the formation, speaking with an imposing air.

Yongyuan calmly assessed the situation. He knew this was a well-planned trap. There were over fifty players in both the front and rear groups. He hadn't received any information from the Ten Guild players he had bribed, which meant these were Yun Zhong Mu's most trusted brothers. Yongyuan and his men had already experienced the fearlessness of these people in Yuèyè City. Blocking them from the front and rear meant they couldn't break through in a short amount of time.

Moreover, these two teams were clearly only focused on holding their ground. The main attackers would probably be the mages on the rooftops on both sides of the street. Once they were compressed from the front and rear, the Eagle Platoon would be trapped in a narrow space, and they would have nowhere to hide from the area-of-effect spells.

"What to do?" Just as Yongyuan was quickly thinking about this problem, he heard a voice from the rear of the formation, "Yongyuan, do you still recognize us?"

Yongyuan turned his head and saw an archer, a female rogue, and a priest who looked neither male nor female standing together at the front of the formation. The one who spoke seemed to be the archer, his eyes staring straight at their formation.

Yongyuan smiled. This person was asking if he recognized them, but his gaze wasn't fixed on him, obviously not knowing which one was Yongyuan. This was common among old online gamers who had interacted before but didn't know each other's real faces. And Yongyuan could now confirm who the priest was. The Gongzi Elite group was very famous, every member of the Gongzi Elite group was famous, and their leader Han Jia Gongzi was even more of a legend, because he led a group of hardcore old pros, and a rising star who suddenly appeared in Parallel World, the master of masters, Qianli Yizui, and then there was himself with his fairy-like looks. These were all topics loved by the gossipers.
