Chapter 11 The Hidden Force

The boss's gaming skills were nothing special, there was no doubt about that. The power boosted by his equipment might work against some noobs, and he could even gain an advantage in one-on-one duels with some experts, but it was absolutely impossible for him to exhaust tens of thousands of people like Qian Li Zui did single-handedly. But Gai Shi Yingqi dared to challenge like this with such confidence. Wu Ye began to suspect that the boss was actually raising a hidden force, a group of people who were probably combat-oriented.

Wu Ye and the others mainly worked in the game, without much time for entertainment. But Gai Shi Yingqi was different. With the studio on the right track, he only needed to handle things periodically and had more leisure time. But even with more time, he was still a successful studio boss who wouldn't devote himself entirely to the game. He didn't spend much time playing every day.

Even so, Gai Shi Yingqi's level was not low. Level 42. This shouldn't be achievable for a player who only plays for three or two hours a day. But Gai Shi Yingqi was just like that. Although most people attributed this to Gai Shi Yingqi's impressive equipment, there were many people in the game with good equipment. Wu Ye and the others had wondered if equipment alone could achieve this. But after all, these things were irrelevant to their work, so everyone just chatted casually, and they actually spent more time mocking the boss's gaming skills. Talking bad about the boss was a popular activity for all employees.

At this time, when Wu Ye saw the boss confidently say that he was going to fight the Shi Hui Alliance, he suddenly had an idea: there were people behind the boss. And the boss's efficient leveling might be because he had a group of experts carrying him. Wu Ye and the others didn't know about this group, but now it seemed that the boss was going to use this force.

Since the boss had never mentioned these people to them, Wu Ye wisely didn't ask any further questions. At this time, Gai Shi Yingqi sent him to do something again, and Wu Ye had no choice but to leave with a stomach full of curiosity.

Inside Moon Night City, although Yun Zhong Mu and others regretted that Gai Shi Yingqi and Wu Ye had escaped with teleport scrolls, this battle was ultimately a great victory for their Shi Hui Alliance. It was quite encouraging that they had managed to defeat the studio boss so miserably. The guild was now cheering and wanting to celebrate properly, and the celebration activities were nothing more than drinking.

Yun Zhong Mu strongly invited Gu Fei to come. Gu Fei was naturally not interested in drinking parties, but this time Yun Zhong Mu had been very generous to them, and Gu Fei couldn't refuse him too much. He showed his face briefly at the tavern, allowing the heroes of the Shi Hui Alliance to catch a glimpse of his true face as the number one killer, and after chatting casually with Yun Zhong Mu and other familiar faces, he continued his wanted missions on the pretext of having tasks to do.

The Shi Hui Alliance's celebration was in full swing. One tavern couldn't accommodate all of them, so they drank from the tavern to the street, and from the street to the square. Many guild players who were friendly with the Shi Hui Alliance also came to join in the fun. Just now it was a city full of PK battles, and in the blink of an eye it was like a city-wide celebration. The players of Moon Night City were just so cheerful and direct.

As the guild leader, Yun Zhong Mu was naturally the target of everyone's drinking contest. Anyway, even if you get drunk in the game, it doesn't hurt your body, so it realistically simulates a drunken state. Yun Zhong Mu's alcohol capacity was average, and he couldn't hold on after a few rounds. He was seeing stars from drinking, but there was still an endless stream of people wanting to continue pouring him drinks. Yun Zhong Mu relied on his speed as a thief and used Gale Step to start running away.

With unsteady steps after getting drunk, Yun Zhong Mu's crooked Gale Step caused a series of roars of laughter. Yun Zhong Mu didn't know, and ran all the way to an empty alley. Seeing that no one was chasing him, he took a deep breath.

These grandsons are messing with me so much, I can't hang out with them anymore... Yun Zhong Mu only felt dizzy and light-headed at this time. Getting drunk in the game was also so uncomfortable. Would it be better if he went offline and came back online? Yun Zhong Mu thought so, wanting to try it at the resurrection point. But as he turned around, he saw two masked assassins standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at him.

"Are you the Shi Hui Alliance's boss, Yun Zhong Mu?" the masked assassin asked.

"It's me, who are you?" Yun Zhong Mu replied carelessly, his brain not working well at this time.

"Our boss told us to say hello to you," the masked assassin said.

Yun Zhong Mu felt something was wrong when he heard this, and he sobered up a bit. He was stunned and said, "Who is your boss?"

"Gai Shi Yingqi." After a word, the two masked assassins suddenly moved, using Gale Step. Yun Zhong Mu, who was also a thief turned assassin, naturally saw at a glance that the two people's movements were skilled and impeccable. They split to the left and right and launched a pincer attack on Yun Zhong Mu from both sides.

Yun Zhong Mu was not an easy character to deal with, but at this time he was drunk and couldn't even walk steadily. He wanted to move forward, but he stumbled and staggered directly in front of the other person's knife. The assassin was fierce enough, and the flying dagger directly cut Yun Zhong Mu's neck. Yun Zhong Mu couldn't react at all, and only felt his life drop sharply. The assassin's attack was not low.

Attack power was naturally a reflection of equipment. The guy in front of him had impressive equipment and excellent skills. One such character was already difficult to deal with, let alone two, and even more so when Yun Zhong Mu couldn't even stand still. His dodging and counterattacks were a mess. He knew that things were going to be very bad, but he was powerless and finally turned into a white light.

After being reborn, Yun Zhong Mu's drunken state was completely cleared, but this way of sobering up was a bit too extravagant. Yun Zhong Mu was naturally furious, and he didn't even know what kind of guy this Gai Shi Yingqi was, and he was inexplicably killed by him once.

After Yun Zhong Mu told the news of his assassination in the guild channel, he was greeted with a burst of laughter. Everyone mocked Yun Zhong Mu for making jokes that were meaningless, of poor quality, and brainless after getting drunk. Yun Zhong Mu was dumbfounded and seriously reiterated it several times, but the brothers in the guild were all half-drunk and half-awake, and they didn't believe it at all. Later, there was finally a sober and careful guy who discovered that Yun Zhong Mu's level had indeed dropped by one on the guild list. Only then did everyone believe it and began to ask who did it.

"Gai Shi Yingqi? Who is that?" After asking, everyone was at a loss. The players didn't know the ID of the boss of the Yingqi Studio that they had watched before. They got the news of their ambush on Gai Shi Yingqi after many twists and turns.

Although they couldn't clearly know who Gai Shi Yingqi was, Yun Zhong Mu was still clear about who the guild had offended the most. With his sober mind, he quickly thought that this might be the Yingqi Studio imposing force on him.

Yun Zhong Mu looked down on the studio guys from the bottom of his heart. How could a bunch of guys who only knew how to make money understand the fun of the game? The two assassins looked like they had good skills and equipment. They were probably desperadoes hired by Yingqi with money. Thinking that they could make him feel scared with such a method was underestimating him too much.

Yun Zhong Mu was very proud. He expected that since the other party wanted to target him for revenge, there might be people ambushing outside the Thieves' Guild. Yun Zhong Mu didn't hide or avoid, and directly stepped out of the resurrection point, and cursed: "Where are the grandsons who want to sneak attack me, get out here."

"Behind you." Yun Zhong Mu only heard a gloomy sentence coming from behind him, and then someone pushed him. Yun Zhong Mu fell forward, and immediately moved a few steps away from the resurrection point. Yun Zhong Mu, who was experienced in fighting, didn't turn his head to look, but immediately began to dodge. He rolled on the spot, and saw flames, arrows, and sword lights, everything came, and each one seemed to be not weak. Yun Zhong Mu dodged in time, but he was still injured. Just looking at this wave of attacks, he knew that the other party's cooperation was extremely skilled. Obviously, they were characters who often practiced together. This Gai Shi Yingqi didn't know where he hired this killer team from, but it was a bit tricky.

While Yun Zhong Mu was thinking this, the opponent's second wave of attacks had arrived. Several mages blasted out area spells, not directly attacking Yun Zhong Mu, but restricting him to a certain range of movement. And in the gap between the spells, the opponent's melee professions had already shuttled in. In an instant, Yun Zhong Mu was surrounded.

"Not ordinary experts..." Yun Zhong Mu was surprised. This cooperation was extremely skilled, the control of skills was extremely high, and the combat experience was extremely rich. Even Yun Zhong Mu, who had experienced hundreds of battles, couldn't avoid it, and in the blink of an eye, he was hung up again.

Yun Zhong Mu, who died quickly for the second time, was surprisingly calm. The opponent was very simple, and the shot was decisive, a sure kill. Yun Zhong Mu was quietly thinking at this time about the first time he was hung up. If he hadn't been drunk at the time, could he have prevented the two assassins from attacking him? Those two people, any one of them was no less skilled than him, and the two of them joined forces... Yun Zhong Mu felt that he was definitely no match for them in a fight. Whether he could escape depended on whose equipment and movement speed were faster.

Yun Zhong Mu rushed to the gate of the resurrection point, but this time he didn't dare to step out casually. And the killers didn't rush to leave. They didn't even wear masks, and frankly revealed their true colors. Seeing Yun Zhong Mu rushing to the door, one of the people in the opponent's team smiled slightly: "You have to be careful, the greetings to you are not over yet!" After saying that, they led the people away, completely ignoring Yun Zhong Mu's "Who are you" shouted from behind.

Yun Zhong Mu was aggrieved! He couldn't wait to rush out and fight these people, but he really knew that he was alone and weak, and it was impossible for him to be the opponent of such a tacit team. Yun Zhong Mu counted the number of people on the other side. There were a total of nine people who besieged him just now, four mages, two assassins, a fighter, a warrior, and a knight. This was obviously an irregular organization with extremely powerful attack power. They didn't even bring a priest, which was essential for ordinary teams. This made Yun Zhong Mu even more annoyed, because it showed that the other party had complete confidence in killing him with one blow, they believed that they would not suffer any damage, so of course there was no need to bring a priest. And at this time, they seemed to know that Yun Zhong Mu would not rush out of the resurrection point rashly, so they simply left. But when would these people come out again? Yun Zhong Mu certainly didn't know. He suddenly felt a little cold, and he found that he was already a prey being targeted. What should he do in the future? He certainly couldn't resist the sneak attacks of these people alone. Bring a team? The number of people on the other side was already a team. Even if he formed a small team, Yun Zhong Mu felt that it was still difficult with the same number of people. Could it be that he had to go out with dozens of people in the future? How was that possible!

Yun Zhong Mu stayed painfully in the resurrection point until many brothers from the Shi Hui Alliance rushed over. At this time, Yun Zhong Mu had already dropped two levels, suffering heavy losses. A group of people had already started cursing for Yun Zhong Mu, but Yun Zhong Mu's face was heavy. He didn't know the details of these people at all, and he didn't know how to deal with them. Today they ambushed him, what about tomorrow? Would they attack other people in their Shi Hui Alliance? If the other party had the patience to wear them down like this, it would be really scary.

Outside Moon Night City, Gai Shi Yingqi was casually killing monsters to level up. A team of people came from the direction of the main city and finally came to Gai Shi Yingqi. The people who came included the two assassins who killed Yun Zhong Mu, and the nine people who were squatting outside the resurrection point later. But the total number of people was a full twenty-four.

"Here," Gai Shi Yingqi said as he killed monsters while talking to the crowd.

"Yes!" The one who answered Gai Shi Yingqi was a knight from the twenty-four people. While he was answering, he gestured to the other players. The crowd immediately dispersed and went to hunt monsters, but everyone killed the monsters until only one hit was left, and led them to Gai Shi Yingqi. Gai Shi Yingqi was also very accustomed to killing one with one hit, eliminating these experiences that were already in his plate.

Wu Ye's guess was basically correct. Gai Shi Yingqi did raise a group of guys to play games with him. He was also considered a RMB warrior (paying real money in the game), but he was different from Xi Yao Wu. Xi Yao Wu was extremely individualistic. Her consumption was all used to arm herself. Her yearning for the game was the same as that of most ordinary players, which was to become an invincible little overlord who could kill gods when gods blocked her, kill Buddhas when Buddhas blocked her, and kill GMs when GMs blocked her, and could destroy a main city with a stretch and a stomp.

Gai Shi Yingqi was different. He raised a team to serve him. When leveling up, they brought the monsters that had only a sliver of blood left to him, allowing him to efficiently gain experience. When doing tasks, someone would have already tested the waters for him, and they would choose the most valuable tasks, and the subordinates would pave the way for him all the way. It was by this method that Gai Shi Yingqi could have such an extraordinary leveling speed, but his own gaming skills were really not very good.

But Gai Shi Yingqi didn't care about these things. If he encountered any troubles in the game, he would naturally send these thugs to clean it up. This was the job of this group of people. Gai Shi Yingqi provided them with a place to play games and paid them a monthly salary, and what they had to do was to serve Gai Shi Yingqi in the game.

Wu Ye and others were earning money for Gai Shi Yingqi; and this part of the people was considered Gai Shi Yingqi's consumption, and what they returned to Gai Shi Yingqi was mainly spiritual enjoyment. In fact, these guys were also very famous. If Yun Zhong Mu knew their IDs, he would find that they were all guys ranked at the top of the level list. This was also a real elite team. In the southeast area of the game map, it was easy to hear the name of their mercenary group: Eagle Squad.

"When we came over, we killed Yun Zhong Mu twice," the knight said to Gai Shi Yingqi while directing everyone to lead monsters to the boss.

"Good job, Yongyuan," Gai Shi Yingqi said.

If Yun Zhong Mu heard this name, even if he didn't know him, he would definitely know him. The number one knight in Parallel World, Yongyuan (Forever). After the city war, even the Five Little Strong were reshuffled on the level list, but Yongyuan's position was not shaken. Like his ID, after ranking first on the knight list, he never gave other knights a chance. Of course, for the players in Cloud End City and Moon Night City, these were all unfamiliar experts. In addition, Qian Li Zui, the most terrifying expert in the entire game, was active in their area, and the glory of any expert would become very small in front of Qian Li Zui.

Yongyuan just smiled in response to the boss's praise, and continued to ask: "Are there any other attack targets?"

"For the time being, let's just choose Yun Zhong Mu as the main target!" Gai Shi Yingqi ordered.

"Kill to how much?"

"The lower the better," Gai Shi Yingqi said.

"Understood," Yongyuan wasn't surprised, it wasn't the first time they had killed people to level 10.

Gai Shi Yingqi looked at the people who were scattered around to lead monsters, and after counting them slightly, he said: "The people aren't all here yet?"

"Well, six people from the third group are sleeping right now! I've already greeted them, and they'll come up after they clean up," Yongyuan said.

The total number of their Eagle Squad was thirty people, divided into three groups. Each group had a fixed time of eight hours a day, and the three groups rotated, ensuring that Gai Shi Yingqi had people to use 24 hours a day. And Gai Shi Yingqi's game time was not fixed every day, sometimes long, sometimes short, and sometimes he didn't come at all. The people in the Eagle Squad were actually free most of the time. But for them, the game was not only work, but also their pleasure. They were different from Wu Ye and the other studio employees. They were more similar to the seven from Jian Nan You, but they were a group of professional players with a fixed boss, while Jian Nan You and others were free workers.

"Well, I think killing Yun Zhong Mu seems quite simple for you, but you still have to be careful of one person," Gai Shi Yingqi said.

"Are you talking about Qian Li Zui?" Yongyuan asked.

"That's right, it's this person. This battle is very likely to involve this person," Gai Shi Yingqi said.

"If this person is involved, it will also involve some other people. It feels like an old friends' party," Yongyuan suddenly laughed.
