"Looks like you're afraid of me too!" Liu Hao thought to himself, smiling triumphantly.

He understood Ye Xiu's plan perfectly: working, breaking records, exchanging materials, upgrading the Silver weapon. The steps seemed simple. But to continue this, they had to take the highest record for the dungeon. Ye Xiu understood this, and Liu Hao was very clear about it as well.

Liu Hao made his second attempt at the Frost Forest dungeon record because he knew Ye Qiu was there and wanted to step on him. But now he understood the importance of the record, so he was going all out, preparing to gather five professional-level players to create the Graveyard of the Buried Bones record.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, had put a lot of thought into developing a new strategy for this record, obviously because he knew his opponent was Liu Hao, who was strong. If they competed with a conventional strategy, they would be at a disadvantage, just like in the Frost Forest dungeon.

"I told you, your era is over. I'm still one step ahead!" Liu Hao continued to run the dungeon with everyone, but he wasn't too focused. After all, the classes of the team he was putting together were completely different from the current team, and the cooperation methods couldn't be copied. He already knew what he needed to know, and then they would need to practice. But they were all professional players, and with their professional qualities, developing that kind of cooperation would definitely not be as difficult as it was for Ye Xiu's motley crew.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful!" In the game, Ye Xiu kept reminding Tang Rou, Baozi Invasion, and Raging Sword to pay attention to this and that. Liu Hao was enjoying it immensely. He had been bossed around like this before, but this was the first time he had been so happy about it. Thinking about it, Liu Hao's hand slipped, and he made another positioning mistake. Sure enough, Ye Xiu's anxious voice immediately came, "Raging Sword, step back two steps, too far to the side."

"Oh!" Liu Hao responded, secretly laughing as he took two steps back. He was tempted to cause a total party wipe, but for the sake of the long game, he managed to restrain himself, only keeping his level of play at Baozi's level.

After four runs of the dungeon, the new strategy, because the coordination was too fragmented, was very difficult for Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, who lacked experience and awareness, relying only on rote memorization. Liu Hao had actually mastered it long ago, but he had to act like he was at their level. After four runs of the dungeon, he repeatedly sighed, "So difficult!"

"So you need to be more focused, understand?" Baozi Invasion lectured him again.

"Let's come again tomorrow!" Ye Xiu sighed. He wasn't very satisfied either. As expected, the overly complicated strategy completely exposed the flaws of novices like Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion.

"Going to the Frost Forest dungeon?" Liu Hao asked, his mood incredibly good right now.

"Let's not go for now," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, okay, then I'll log off first. See you tomorrow!" Liu Hao said goodbye to everyone and logged off. He quickly logged into his account and ran to the Graveyard of the Buried Bones dungeon, taking advantage of his fresh memory to review it. Based on their class composition, he also did his homework.

"A bit troublesome, isn't it?" At Happy Internet Cafe, Tang Rou came to the front desk to find Ye Xiu with a teacup.

"Yeah…" Ye Xiu admitted.

"Practice for a few more days?" Tang Rou asked.

"If we drag it out too long, the record won't be worth anything," Ye Xiu said helplessly.

"Is there any other way to practice?" Faced with difficulties, Tang Rou was more eager than anyone else. She was really annoyed by the limit of four dungeon runs a day.

"Got it!" These words reminded Ye Xiu, and he immediately thought of a place.

"Baozi, Baozi," Ye Xiu called in the game.

"Here!" Baozi Invasion responded.

"Come on, let's continue practicing," Ye Xiu said.

"We're out of dungeon runs!"

"Let's practice somewhere else," Ye Xiu said.

"Where?"

"Skeleton Graveyard," Ye Xiu said.

Skeleton Graveyard, the novice village dungeon, was different from the Graveyard of the Buried Bones, but it did have some similarities. More importantly, this dungeon had unlimited runs, so they could run it as many times as they wanted.

"Just buy a low-level weapon in the novice village, and we'll practice slowly," Ye Xiu said to Tang Rou while sending a message to Baozi Invasion.

"Wind Rises in the Forest and Raging Sword aren't here," Tang Rou said after the three met at the entrance of the graveyard.

"It's okay, let's practice first," Ye Xiu led the two into the dungeon. He himself didn't have any problems, the key was to get the others to coordinate. Now Tang Rou, Baozi Invasion, and Raging Sword were making mistakes in bunches, although they weren't fatal, they were enough to keep the team from breaking the record.

The terrain of Skeleton Graveyard and Graveyard of the Buried Bones was different, but the monster types and the way they emerged from the ground were very similar. In particular, the monsters in Skeleton Graveyard were randomly distributed, and they would occasionally imitate the monster layout of the Graveyard of the Buried Bones. With Ye Xiu's superb monster control skills, he really simulated some situations.

The three of them spent the night in Skeleton Graveyard. Tang Rou was naturally eager to improve and worked silently, while Baozi Invasion was talkative, chattering away, but he stayed with them the whole time. This was all love, a deep love for the game from a newbie.

They needed to practice the dungeon, but they couldn't fall too far behind in levels. After a few days, Lord Grim's level was the first to cross 27. Blue River must have been checking Lord Grim's level very frequently, because less than a minute after he leveled up, Blue River's message arrived: "Graveyard of the Buried Bones Graveyard of the Buried Bones, am I late?"

"No…" Ye Xiu said.

"Uh, what do you want this time?" Blue River asked, this question was also quite important.

"Vampiric Sword," Ye Xiu said.

"What a coincidence!" Blue River was in tears.

"Oh?"

"I'm using the Vampiric Sword," Blue River cried.

"You're almost level 30, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"Orange weapon, bro, you don't need to change it even at level 30," Blue River said.

"Even an orange weapon is still a low-level weapon, fleeting clouds," Ye Xiu comforted.

"What else do you want?" Blue River was very aware that it couldn't be just a Vampiric Sword.

"Eight bone spines!" Ye Xiu said. This was a hidden material dropped by the hidden boss of the Graveyard of the Buried Bones, the Rotten Bone Sheep.

"Okay… no more!" Blue River replied.

"Yeah. But it's a bit difficult to farm in the Graveyard of the Buried Bones. This time I want to directly bring a five-team squad and join your guild as a substitute. How about that?" Ye Xiu said.

"This… wouldn't that look a bit bad?" Blue River hesitated.

"The competition for dungeon records is fierce now! We have to do our best," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay then…" Blue River thought for a while and finally agreed.

"Start farming tomorrow!"

"Okay."

The conversation had already ended, but Cold Night was late: "Graveyard of the Buried Bones!"

"Blue Brook Guild…" Ye Xiu's message was very concise.

"Damn! When did you get to 27?" Cold Night asked.

"Five minutes ago," Ye Xiu said.

"Ah, ah, ah, then I wish you success," Cold Night showed some grace.

"Brother…" At this time, Blue River sent another message.

"What?" Ye Xiu replied.

"Are you planning to permanently substitute for records like this?" Blue River asked.

"That's the plan for now…" Ye Xiu said.

"If that's the case, you probably won't be able to continue like this with the same team a few more times, right?" Blue River said.

Ye Xiu sighed. How could he not know about the situation Blue River was talking about? Although you could add the guild name to the record after joining the guild, if you always bring a fixed team, it's always the same people. Today Tyrannical Ambition, tomorrow Blue Brook Guild, after farming a lot, everyone will see it at a glance. Although the dungeon record belongs to your guild, everyone knows what's going on with this team. In this case, the record is equal to buying it with money. Then the record's meaning of reflecting the guild's strength and promoting the guild is completely gone.

Ye Xiu didn't initially plan to pull together a fixed team. He just wanted to mix around as an individual. Just like when he partnered with Blue River and the other three, he commanded them to play a one-wave rush, which was already difficult for ordinary players to surpass. And the individual identity was also easier to ignore, and quitting the team at the last moment wouldn't affect the overall situation too much. However, because Liu Hao acted on behalf of Excellent Dynasty and created a professional-level record, Ye Xiu had to pull together a more elite team to solve it.

In fact, a real substitute should be like Liu Hao, just using the other party's account without revealing their identity. Like Ye Xiu, who directly opened up Lord Grim and made a name for the account, he was no longer a qualified substitute.

"We'll talk about that later!" There was nothing he could do about it for the time being.

"Why don't you just join our guild permanently, brother? We'll pay you for everything, how about being our guild's professional substitute?" Blue River said his ambition.

"Buyout?" Ye Xiu smiled.

"It's not a loss for you, is it? When you're unhappy, you can leave whenever you want, and no one can stop you," Blue River said.

"I'll consider it," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay, we'll talk about it after you're done farming the Graveyard of the Buried Bones," Blue River said.

Ye Xiu smiled, the Graveyard of the Buried Bones was indeed a touchstone. Blue River also wanted to see if the record would be surpassed again after it was broken this time.

Tomorrow, everything depended on tomorrow. Ye Xiu thought silently, rushing to the Graveyard of the Buried Bones to practice with the team for the last day.

The coordination was already in place, and now it was time to focus on the details and completely eliminate mistakes. Breaking the record couldn't tolerate the slightest carelessness. Although it was possible to farm in the Graveyard of the Buried Bones for many days if you were only levels 27-28, if you approached breaking the record with that mentality, you wouldn't be able to get nervous at all. In this respect, what was needed was Tang Rou's spirit! As long as you do it, you must do your best.

The next day at dawn, the five gathered at the Graveyard of the Buried Bones dungeon. Ye Xiu emphasized this spirit. Then he secretly prayed for a while, praying that no customers would come to bother him with problems while he was farming the dungeon.
