Chapter 115
Jian Nanyou clearly understood what Han Jia Gongzi meant with those words and that look. He scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure how they'll arrange things!"

"Without Baisishi, and then minus Da Nan and his seven, we..." You Ge counted the numbers.

"Aside from a few scraps, it's still our Elite Squad's original lineup," Yu Tian Shen Ming said. Indeed, the top experts in Very Heaven were just the six from the Elite Squad, Jian Nanyou's seven-man group, plus Piaoliu. Baisishi was really more of an outside helper and had never actually joined their guild. Others, like Piaoliu's two buddies, Zuo Shou Xie Ai You Shou Xie Shuai, were slightly worse, and Yun Xiang and the like were even worse. Huo Qiu and his ilk weren't even worth mentioning. If Jian Nanyou's seven and Baisishi were busy, then all that would be left was the Elite Squad plus Piaoliu.

"The pressure is on!" Piaoliu concluded.

"We might be stronger without you as the lower limit," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"You're so annoying!" Zhan Wu Shang tossed Yu Tian Shen Ming into a corner.

"There's also us two! How can we not participate in dealing with that guy?" Shui Shen and Lu Ke strongly requested to fight.

"According to the records in Cangtian Battle Records, you two are still a little ways off from being top-tier experts…" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Shui Shen was furious, Lu Ke was helpless. Zhan Wu Shang interjected, "If that's the case, then You Ge doesn't count either!" You Ge immediately burst into tears.

Piaoliu, however, said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated. Those thirty people aren't all going to be that outstanding. There are highs and lows! And Parallel World is a new kind of game. Previous levels don't count."

The others felt relieved, but then Piaoliu added, "But as for You Ge…" You Ge continued to burst into tears.

"Let's go to Yueye City and see what's going on first!" Han Jia Gongzi stood up.

"Aren't we waiting for Qianli?" Yu Tian Shen Ming returned from the corner. He always felt bad for not bringing this nuclear weapon.

"Who knows when that guy will come," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Should I go call him?" You Ge was elated because he had Gu Fei's contact number.

"Let's go to Yueye City and see what's going on first," Han Jia Gongzi said.

So the experts set off. Huo Ranyi hadn't logged in yet for Jian Nanyou's seven-man group, so the six of them had nothing to do for the time being and naturally went along. All the guild's affairs were handed over to Comrade Yun Xiang. Yun Xiang looked at that pile of player resumes, listening to You Ge's reminders to forward all the registration resumes to him, and burst into tears.

Great experts didn't walk when they went out. After explaining the guild work at Yunduan City, they gathered together and used a teleportation scroll. Now that they were in close contact with Yunteng Studio, they were getting all their teleportation scrolls from them. Yunteng, facing such a large customer, naturally couldn't raise prices anymore. In fact, the sales of teleportation scrolls weren't very good. They were expensive, disposable items, and only saved time, so they were really only used by rich people. It was like how a poor person would take a bus for short trips and a hard seat on the train for long trips, and would never take a taxi or plane to save time.

Once they arrived at Yueye City, they naturally contacted Yun Zhong Mu first.

Yun Zhong Mu had been silenced after posting his first post in a major forum battle. Frustrated, he returned to the game. As a result, the experts from Yunduan City took the initiative to contact him, and Yun Zhong Mu was overjoyed. A guild as big as his was embarrassed to ask for help, but if people wanted to come and help on their own, Yun Zhong Mu politely declined once or twice before quickly accepting. Yun Zhong Mu was actually the kind of person who valued face more than life, but now he was in charge of the guild, and considering the big picture, a little face was fine at critical times.

The place where the two sides agreed to meet was naturally the ever-present gathering place, the tavern. The Yunduan experts arrived first, and when Yun Zhong Mu arrived, he was followed by more than a hundred people. The Yunduan experts were all bewildered. Their impression of Yun Zhong Mu was that although he was arrogant, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to show off. That was something only Wu Shi Zhi Jian liked to do.

Yun Zhong Mu saw the surprise of the crowd and was very embarrassed. He told his own brothers to sit wherever they wanted, and then he and the core brothers of Duan Yun sat down in the pile of Yunduan experts—there were a lot of Yunduan experts too. One table wasn't enough, so they sat at two tables and formed a circle.

Although Yun Zhong Mu was in a bad situation, he still had his composure. As soon as he sat down, he grabbed a wine glass, poured wine, and raised his glass to the experts, "Our Ten Guild Alliance has really taken a tumble this time. I won't bother with polite words. I'll thank you all first."

Everyone quickly responded with a toast. You Ge usually handled the social niceties, and he spoke quite skillfully, "This matter was caused by us in the first place. How could we not come and give an explanation? Lao Yun, you're too polite!"

Everyone had interacted with Yun Zhong Mu and the others more than once or twice, so they skipped titles like Guild Leader and directly called him Lao Yun to show their closeness. Helping each other wouldn't be so distant. You Ge's interpersonal skills were much better than his game skills.

When Yun Zhong Mu saw that the other party didn't treat him like an outsider, he naturally didn't put on airs anymore, and his worried expression was revealed.

"Let's not waste any words. What's the specific situation?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"The other side is very strong," Yun Zhong Mu said, "Especially in team coordination. More than fifty of my guild brothers aren't weak, but when they fought thirty of them head-on, 21 died, and they didn't even kill a single opponent."

The Yunduan experts were silent. They were clear about the strength of Yun Zhong Mu and his group. To not even kill a single opponent in a head-on confrontation, this Eagle Regiment was shockingly ferocious!

"This is the information we've collected about the Eagle Regiment for a day," Yun Zhong Mu flipped through a few sheets of paper and handed them to Han Jia Gongzi, while asking, "Where's the Sword Demon leader?"

"In jail!" Han Jia Gongzi took the information and replied without looking up. The other experts all gathered around to look at the information.

Yun Zhong Mu and the others had already collected the names of the thirty experts in the Eagle Regiment on the forum. There were some scattered equipment details. You could roughly infer a person's stat level based on their equipment, but you couldn't rely too much on this. First, the equipment wasn't complete, and second, an expert wouldn't only have a few pieces of equipment on them. They usually had a lot of equipment to mix and match, and it was unknown how they would specifically equip themselves in actual combat. It would definitely be a disadvantage to rely too much on this equipment information.

Even so, there were still a lot of things in the pile of equipment information that surprised the Yunduan experts. They compared it with their own equipment and often sighed. After flipping through several pages, the experts looked at each other and came to the conclusion: Just looking at the equipment level, they're definitely not below us.

Yun Zhong Mu nodded and said some of his views, "Looking at this equipment, I think that if they were truly ordinary players playing the game in the most normal way and each managed to get such strong equipment, then these people's luck would be too good. Such comprehensive and well-equipped gear definitely requires considerable trading channels. Considering that there's even more equipment that hasn't been revealed in the data, I don't think it would be possible to achieve the total value of this equipment without the support of a considerable amount of RMB."

"You're right," Han Jia Gongzi nodded.

"And the equipment in Parallel World sometimes has some regional characteristics," You Ge said, scanning some of the famous equipment on it, "Given that they're located in the southeastern region, some of this equipment shouldn't be normally traded through there, unless it's through a studio, and it has to be a relatively large studio with a business network throughout the game world."

"You Ge, aren't you talking nonsense? Didn't we already know they were from Yingqi Studio... uh, what was it?" Shui Shen didn't use words like "lackeys" or "running dogs" this time to offend Jian Nanyou and the others.

"Originally, we only said they were hired! Now, judging from this equipment, the relationship between the Eagle Regiment and the studio is closer. Their strength is very likely supported by the studio," You Ge said.

The experts deeply agreed. The Elite Squad was armed to the teeth, but Gu Fei had to be mentioned as an extraordinary existence. Their many generous rewards in the game and large gold coin income were all closely related to Gu Fei. Without Gu Fei, it was doubtful whether they could have made it to the end of the Mercenary Group Competition. None of them were players who would use RMB to intervene in the game. If it weren't for the many rewards and gold coins Gu Fei participated in, it was hard to say whether they would have such luxurious equipment if they had made their own way to where they are now. And the Eagle Regiment, all thirty of them were so luxurious, it was indeed unlikely without the support of a strong background.

As for Jian Nanyou's seven-man group, their mouths were watering when they saw the Eagle Regiment's equipment. Their own equipment was worse compared to these people's, and more importantly, they thought that if they accidentally dropped one of these guys' equipment, it would be a chance to improve their lives!

"With this kind of equipment, in a one-on-one fight, who of you feels confident?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Well, it depends on the class," Jian Nanyou was always objective.

"Same class," Han Jia Gongzi said. There was nothing fairer than a same-class PK.

"I think I'm fine," Piaoliu said with a confident smile.

"Hmph, no problem," Zhan Wu Shang said.

"I wouldn't be so absolute, but I think I have a better chance of winning." The experts were clearly confident in their skills.

Yu Tian Shen Ming adjusted the three bows on his shoulders and said seriously, "We can't only consider personal factors. Sometimes we need to consider external factors, such as the terrain."

"Hahaha." Piaoliu laughed.

"Laugh at your sister!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was angry.

"What about the others?" Han Jia Gongzi looked at the other experts.

Black Water, Jiao Shui, and the others in the seven-man group, except for the priest, were silent. Zuo Shou Xie Ai You Shou Xie Shuai hesitated, and You Ge simply lowered his head. The other side's equipment was indeed very oppressive.

"Solo fights are like this. In team fights, they also have coordination bonuses. Although we also have this Young Master's talent and skill, the other side outnumbers us. It seems our chances of winning are slim!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

The others were silent, and Yun Zhong Mu also frowned. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "What about Qianli?"

He naturally knew that Qianli Yizui wasn't online. He was only asking to know if Qianli Yizui would also participate in the battle.

"Not online." The answer was the same as what he already knew.

"That guy is an unknown. Let's not count him in yet," Han Jia Gongzi said, and then asked Yun Zhong Mu, "What's their current activity status?"

"Currently, they seem to be scattered, killing anyone from our guild they find alone," Yun Zhong Mu said.

"Then haven't you organized a team to search?" Han Jia Gongzi asked in confusion.

"We have. They often hang out in the blocks around the respawn points, but we've searched everywhere and just can't find them," Yun Zhong Mu said regretfully.

"Do you all recognize them?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"We've had face-to-face contact. A considerable number of my brothers can recognize some of them," Yun Zhong Mu said. In particular, he was deeply impressed by the other side's leader, Forever, and of course, that arrogant Ba Yi Xi San.

"So they never wear masks when they attack you?" Han Jia Gongzi said. Wearing masks had now become a fashion. Those who went out to kill people but didn't want to be retaliated against would cover their faces. Only someone like Gu Fei would deliberately let people see him clearly, expecting retaliation, so that now people didn't even want to look at his face. Seeing black clothes and a purple sword made people want to take a detour.

"They never wear masks, which I find strange. There's no photo function in the game, so even if we can collect their information from the forum, we can't always find their appearance. So if they wore masks, it would be very beneficial," Yun Zhong Mu said.

"This is a demonstration to you, showing that they're not afraid of your retaliation at all. Very arrogant," Han Jia Gongzi said. Yun Zhong Mu actually thought the same, and gritted his teeth when he saw that others agreed.

"So you can't run into them even once when you wander around? That can't be right?"

"Because they have a safe hiding place," Han Jia Gongzi sneered.

"What?"

"Isn't it near the respawn points? Any respawn point will have a large and lively crowd, so are there many Yingqi Studio shops distributed in these places? Plus, you fear their strength, so your searches must be in groups, making you conspicuous. In that case, the other side will discover you first most of the time, not you discover them. They'll take a step ahead to find a way to avoid you, and if they can't avoid you, they'll immediately find a house to go into. I think Yingqi is definitely opening up the permissions to their properties in Yueye City to them now," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood, and Yun Zhong Mu even slapped his head and shouted, "Immediately organize people to block all of Yingqi's shops!" In fact, the Ten Guild Alliance had been watching Yingqi's shops for a long time, but at that time, they were thinking of going to kill people and cause trouble as soon as they opened. But later, the Eagle Regiment counterattacked, and some of these loners were cleared out, and those who weren't cleared out responded to the call to gather, so naturally no one was guarding anymore.

"It's useless. You don't have to go out to leave. They can leave whenever they want with teleportation scrolls," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Guard the shops, and then organize a team to search for them!" Yun Zhong Mu said.

"How many shops does Yingqi have? How many people will you leave at each shop to guard? If you leave too many, will you still have enough people to search everywhere? If you leave too few, what will you do if they gather and eat you up?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"This..."

"It can still be done if it's deployed in a planned way," Jian Nanyou was indeed an expert in killing people and looting goods.

Han Jia Gongzi nodded, clearly having an idea as well.

Yun Zhong Mu wasn't stupid either. After thinking about it, he said, "Concentrate our forces and clear area by area?"

"That's right. Since their people are distributed at various respawn points, it's impossible for them to gather thirty people in any one respawn point area, so our team doesn't need too many people either. Select an area, block off the streets, and after the search team moves in, take the lead in guarding each of Yingqi's shops, and then start searching," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"The method is good," Yun Zhong Mu frowned, "But this arrangement can't be known by them in advance. But it's obvious that someone in our guild has already been bought by them. It's impossible for them not to know about such a large-scale operation! We also formed a reliable team for our previous search."

Han Jia Gongzi looked contemptuous, "You don't need to tell them the real plan at all. Just find a trustworthy person to be the captain, form a team, and find an excuse for what you're doing, like a quest or something, wouldn't that work?"

Yun Zhong Mu's eyes lit up and he slapped his forehead, "That's right!"

"Calculate the time and enter the area at the same time. Even if they realize it at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!!" Yun Zhong Mu laughed and immediately said to Duan Yun beside him, "Hurry up and arrange it."

Everything began to be implemented according to Han Jia Gongzi's arrangement. Yun Zhong Mu first personally led people to conduct another search of each area, but the real purpose was to compile a detailed list of the locations of Yingqi's shops in each area. Which shop would be responsible for leading the team was also assigned. Then, he immediately began to gather people to form teams, with various excuses, and the statements about quests were inconsistent.

The Ten Guild Alliance had a straightforward style, and the teams were quickly organized. However, Yun Zhong Mu was a little worried about the number of people. If there was a mole in any team who leaked information to the Eagle Regiment, it would be troublesome if they gathered to attack.

However, Yun Zhong Mu wasn't someone who couldn't take risks. If they were attacked, they would be attacked. If they were attacked, hundreds of people would support them, and thousands of people would come over to surround them. Yun Zhong Mu didn't believe that thousands of people couldn't take down thirty people.

This situation didn't happen after all. Each team smoothly entered the main city. The players in the team all thought they were helping the captain with something. Some said it was a guild quest, and some said it was a private job. No matter how big or small the matter was, it was enough reason to call so many people: The Eagle Regiment was causing trouble!

The first area chosen for the implementation of the plan was the Warrior Camp in Yueye City. There were six avenues around here, with some small alleys running through the middle. There were a total of three Yingqi shops here. The number of teams was precisely calculated. The first team guarded the safe zone, three teams guarded the Yingqi shops, and the other six teams guarded the entrances of the main streets. There was no need to pay attention to the small alleys, because no matter how you walked in the alleys, you had to take the main street to get out of this area.

The distance, speed, and everything else had been accurately calculated. The ten teams arrived at their designated locations almost simultaneously.

"Okay, start searching!!!" With Yun Zhong Mu's order, the search teams began to quickly move into the area.
