"Yeah, a little."

Holy crap!!!!

He was actually so frank about it that Lan He was a mess in the wind. How was he supposed to respond? If he continued to criticize, he would seem petty and unmanly; but if he just let it go, the frustration in his heart wouldn't dissipate! Lan He instantly felt like he'd been one-shotted.

Fortunately, this was a message chat, and there were ways to express his speechless mood. Lan He quickly replied with a string of ellipses and an emoji of a large drop of sweat flowing down.

"Better luck next time!" Ye Xiu replied.

Lan He spat out a mouthful of blood. The guy didn't take the matter to heart at all! Come to think of it, wild Bosses had always been something everyone swarmed to snatch. If you weren't happy about being robbed, then you should rob them back. Arguing about right and wrong was something only newbies would do.

Wait, he wasn't even hung up on not getting the Blood Gunner! He was annoyed that this guy hadn't given him any face. The problem was that he had invited Lord Grim, but in the end, Lord Grim killed the Blood Gunner, and he didn't get any credit. Looking at the discussions in the guild channel, everyone's displeasure with Lord Grim was mainly focused on this point. As for the Boss being snatched, that was a matter of using different methods. For example, if the Boss had been killed by Zhongcaotang or Baqi Xiongtu, although they would also be frustrated, it would be a different kind of frustration, without any lingering resentment.

Perhaps the reason he was so hung up on this was precisely because Lord Grim was different from those two guilds. If those two guilds snatched it, Lan He could hold back and take revenge. But with Lord Grim, what could he do? Lan He tugged at his hair, realizing that this was where the problem lay.

"Xi Zhou, what do you think about this matter?" Lan He stopped messaging Lord Grim and privately chatted with Xi Zhou from the guild.

"Lord Grim, I don't think we can win him over," Xi Zhou said.

"Oh?"

"I think we can see his position from the Blood Gunner incident," Xi Zhou said.

"How so?"

"All three major guilds were there, and they all intended to win him over, but he didn't help any of them. He took a random group of people outside the three major guilds and smoothly killed the Blood Gunner," Xi Zhou said.

"He's trying to say that he's very capable and doesn't need to join a guild?" Lan He said.

"I think a more accurate statement is: guilds need him, but he doesn't need guilds," Xi Zhou said.

Lan He was stunned.

"To put it bluntly, he just wants to be a hired hand, working for all the guilds," Xi Zhou said.

"With his abilities..."

"With his abilities, doing this shows that his appetite is very big, and his needs are great," Xi Zhou said.

"A professional player? Trying to make money from this?" Lan He said.

"Possibly," Xi Zhou said.

"But if he continues like this, there will come a time when he runs out of business. First kills, dungeon record improvements, these things all have a saturation point and a limit. What will he do when no one hires him?" Lan He said.

"New servers will open..." Xi Zhou said.

Lan He sweated, having forgotten about that.

"So, we can pay attention to the older servers to see if there's anyone like that," Lan He said.

"If there were such a person, they would probably have been noticed long ago," Xi Zhou said.

"Then what is this person's background?" Lan He knocked on his head.

"I don't know, his strength is unfathomable, can't see what he's up to, and he still hasn't changed his class..." Xi Zhou said.

"Then what attitude do you think we should have towards him?" Lan He said.

"Maintain contact, maintain observation," Xi Zhou said.

"Maybe we should continue to try to win him over. Aren't all of those just our assumptions?" Lan He said.

"Yeah," Xi Zhou agreed and added, "Even if we can't win him over, building a good relationship with him will at least put us in a prioritized position in his mind."

"It seems like we're fawning over him now..." Lan He sighed.

Xi Zhou was also speechless. No matter how good a player was, guilds usually tried to win them over to use them. But what about this Lord Grim? Why did it feel like everyone was circling around him, waiting for him to hand out candy? Something seemed wrong with this line of thinking!

Lan He's knot in his heart had been untied. After taking two deep breaths, he continued to contact Lord Grim.

"Brother, dungeon run at 12 o'clock?" Lan He asked. At 12 o'clock, everyone's dungeon attempts would refresh, and they would all start getting busy.

"We'll see!" Ye Xiu said.

"Together!" Lan He invited.

"No need, right!" Ye Xiu sweated. This guy had a lot of perseverance. He had robbed him of a Boss, and he was still trying to win him over? Ye Xiu had indeed shown his attitude by robbing the Boss. He didn't want to be pulled around by the three major guilds. If everyone kept showing him goodwill, even if he insisted on refusing, it would be difficult to repay that favor after a long time.

"Brother, you're too kind," Lan He said.

"Already made plans with someone..." Facing the ever-consistent Lan He, Ye Xiu had to find an excuse.

"Who?" Lan He immediately became alert. Could it be that someone in the guild had gotten ahead of him?

"A friend..." Ye Xiu said.

Lan He wanted to ask "What friend?", but he felt that it was a bit too gossipy, so he had to reluctantly say, "Then maybe next time!"

"Next time, next time," Ye Xiu said perfunctorily.

Lan He dejectedly closed the message window. As soon as he closed it, he suddenly remembered something else: "Brother, you have to help me with the Goblin Merchant's first kill."

The Goblin Merchant was the wild Boss of the Frost Forest, and it hadn't appeared yet.

"I've really made plans with someone for that," Ye Xiu said.

So what he said just now was fake. This guy really didn't bother to hide anything when he spoke. While Lan He was spitting blood, he casually asked, "Who?"

"Baqi Xiongtu."

"Damn it!!!" Lan He slammed his keyboard hard. Hesitate, hesitate, what was he hesitating about! Look, now someone else had taken the lead! Lan He regretted his hesitation and indecision. Looking at the chat window, he didn't know how to reply. This Lord Grim was indeed trying to eat from all the guilds, just like Xi Zhou had analyzed! But the people from Baqi Xiongtu were also generous enough. While he was still hesitating, they had already let go of their grudges and started using Lord Grim.

Alas! Lan He sighed and ultimately maintained his composure, replying, "Then we'll have to go head-to-head when the time comes."

"Yeah, no need to hold back," Ye Xiu said.

"Brother, I'm booking all the wild Bosses and dungeon records for the future, is that okay?" Lan He said.

"Let's talk about that later... My level can't keep up with your progress!" Ye Xiu said.

"Brother, level up quickly!" Lan He realized that this was really a problem. He was currently level 24, and he would definitely be level 25 after running a few dungeons tonight, but Lord Grim was still at level 21. The further apart the levels were, the worse it would be. When they were challenging level 30 dungeons, this guy would still be struggling in level 20 dungeons. If he re-washed the records they had broken, Lan He and the others wouldn't be able to go back! They would be over-leveled...
