Hu Die Lan
Chapter 83 Almost the Limit
13 minutes 24.21 seconds.
Perhaps for many players, this was just another string of numbers on the leaderboard. But for Ye Wei Yang, Che Qianzi, Lan He, and other players in these large guilds who constantly focused on competing with the data on these leaderboards, they truly understood what this string of numbers meant.
13 minutes 24.21 seconds. This was no longer just a record for the tenth server; this number clearly broke the overall record for all ten Glory servers.
This record had no system rewards. Initially, players voluntarily organized and compared records from each server, which later evolved into an official ranking of records from each server. The highest record for the Frost Forest dungeon was currently 14 minutes 31.58 seconds. Although Lan He and the others couldn't remember this data exactly, they at least knew it hadn't crossed the 14-minute mark. But now, in the tenth server, a team of players from the Jia Dynasty guild had improved this record by more than a minute.
The players from the Zhong Cao Tang guild didn't laugh for even a full minute, and the people from the Tyrannical Ambition guild didn't get the last laugh either.
Ye Xiu's record-breaking team had already been in the dungeon for over 15 minutes, so it was absolutely impossible for them to break this record.
"Damn it!" The four damage dealers in the team were stunned the moment this record was posted to the world. Their efforts were now meaningless. Throughout the entire dungeon, they were careful, careful, and even more careful, their palms covered in sweat that they didn't dare wipe away, fearing they would delay even a second. But what was the result? Just when they thought breaking the Zhong Cao Tang record was a sure thing and a new record was about to be born, this score of 13 minutes 24.21 seconds was like a bolt from the blue.
The four of them were frozen, but the sounds of battle still echoed in their ears. They calmed down and saw that Lord Grim was still fighting Icy Saen.
"Hey, didn't you see the system announcement?" one of them couldn't help but ask.
"I saw it," Ye Xiu replied.
"We're too late," one of them sighed.
"We still have to finish the dungeon, right?" Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"You're still smiling? You won't get anything this way," one of them said, and began to attack again.
"Yeah, so unlucky," Ye Xiu said.
"Jia Dynasty... Damn, 13 minutes. Has this already broken the highest record across all ten servers?" one of the four said uncertainly.
"It's broken it! It was originally above 14 minutes," another said.
"This... we seem to be far behind?" another said.
"That's right, we'll probably finish the dungeon in 16 minutes," Ye Xiu said.
"Sigh..." Amidst the sighs, Icy Saen was finally defeated by the five of them. Their final score was set at 17 minutes 07.66 seconds. This did break Zhong Cao Tang's previous record and placed them second on the tenth server's leaderboard. However, for a small guild, second place would be quite an achievement, but for Tyrannical Ambition, it was meaningless.
When Lord Grim and the four damage dealers teleported out, Ye Wei Yang was still leading people in the dungeon, and Ye Du Han Tan had returned to the old server to report, not yet back. On the other hand, the people from Zhong Cao Tang were experiencing heaven and hell. They had just been celebrating their record when a record more than four minutes faster slapped them in the face. And that wasn't all. In the blink of an eye, Lord Grim's team crushed their celebration record again, making Zhong Cao Tang's efforts seem completely meaningless.
At this time, how could Che Qianzi not receive a greeting from Lan He: "Tragedy! Tragedy."
"Damn, 13 minutes!! How the hell did they do that? Who are those people from the Jia Dynasty?" Che Qianzi ignored Lan He's ridicule and instead discussed the possibility of this score with this expert.
"Jia Dynasty..." Lan He didn't reply to Che Qianzi's message, but simply muttered the name of this guild.
He wouldn't find this guild's name unfamiliar. Among the second-tier guilds, slightly weaker than the three major guilds, Jia Dynasty definitely had a place. And this was only its present. In the past, it had been a glorious guild, during the era when the Excellent Era club swept the professional league and dominated for three years.
That's right, Jia Dynasty, their behind-the-scenes supporter was Ye Xiu's old team, Excellent Era club.
The professional league was the pinnacle of the Glory world, and the actions of a club could have a profound impact on the Glory scene. Each club and its supported guild shared both honor and loss. The Excellent Era club had been performing poorly in recent years, and the guild they supported in the game was quickly overtaken by Blue Brook Guild, Tyrannical Ambition, and Zhong Cao Tang. Fortunately, their foundation was solid, and although they were surpassed, they weren't left too far behind.
In the tenth server's competition, the three major guilds were competing with each other and didn't take the second-tier guilds too seriously. Who knew that Jia Dynasty would make a strong comeback at this moment. They had been keeping a low profile, not appearing on any leaderboards, but now they were making a splash, instantly snatching the Frost Forest dungeon record.
13 minutes 24.21 seconds!
Not only did they break the tenth server's record, but they also improved the Frost Forest dungeon's overall record, which had remained unchanged for many years, by more than a minute. Was the Jia Dynasty preparing to rise again?
Thinking of this, Lan He immediately thought of the recent changes in the Excellent Era club. The old captain, Ye Qiu, had retired, and the new generation expert, Sun Xiang, had taken over the Battle God One Autumn Leaf. This was clearly a sign of a reshuffle and reconstruction. So, was the Jia Dynasty's sudden rise in the game a parallel action to the club? If so, it would be an exaggeration to rely on them, these players, to block this record. This record was likely not made by ordinary players.
"They're experts." Outside the Frost Forest dungeon, Ye Xiu was also talking to Ye Wei Yang, who had just completed the dungeon, and Ye Du Han Tan, who had returned from the old server.
Like Lan He, Ye Du Han Tan ran back to the old server to report to the guild leader, and then heard about this major event when he returned to the tenth server. 13 minutes 24.21 seconds. Ye Du Han Tan was also shocked by this number and rushed to the dungeon entrance, where he heard Ye Xiu's judgment.
"Nonsense, we can also guess that they're experts," Ye Wei Yang said.
"Not just ordinary experts. There are probably three or more players at the professional level in that team," Ye Xiu said.
Ye Du Han Tan and Ye Wei Yang were stunned. Professional experts were unattainable existences for them. The shocked duo forgot to think about how Ye Xiu could judge so clearly.
"This score is almost the limit for clearing Frost Forest," Ye Xiu said.
"Almost?" Ye Wei Yang heard this key word.
"You mean, this isn't the limit?" Ye Du Han Tan said.
"Is it so easy to reach the limit?" Ye Xiu smiled.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll talk when I reach level 25! You guys better hurry up!" Ye Xiu said.
"Hurry up with what?" The two were confused.
"The things I need! You guys will have time to gather them now," Ye Xiu said.
"Damn!" The two shouted in unison. Such a shocking thing was happening right in front of them, and this guy was still thinking about his crappy materials and equipment...
