Hu Die Lan
Chapter 548 An Unspoken Secret
Before long, the group arrived at the scene. Wei Chen's Windward Formation was leading a dozen or so players in a lively battle. Chun Yi Lao and Sanjie Liudao both had keen eyes. After glancing over a few times, they could see that these people were mainly controlling the Boss and not accelerating their output. Finally, they were completely relieved; obviously, the other party was really dragging out the Boss to wait for this transaction.
Wei Chen had been mixing around in the Realm of Gods for so long that he was even more familiar with these big shots from the club guilds than Ye Xiu was. He had spotted Chun Yi Lao and Sanjie Liudao's names a long time ago. His Windward Formation darted around, changing its position in the battle, and greeted them proactively, "Hey, you two bosses, are you here to take over the aggro, or should we just join your group directly? Don't worry, after-sales service isn't charged extra."
"We don't need your help," Chun Yi Lao said coldly. Blue Brook Guild and Samsara's people had already charged toward the Boss.
"You two are splitting this Boss? That's a little tense," Wei Chen muttered while instructing his side's damage dealers to stop attacking. Everyone was skilled in this kind of handover, and there were no mishaps.
As for Chun Yi Lao? He was starting to truly believe that the shameless guy 君莫笑 (Jun Mo Xiao) mentioned really existed.
Why? Because he watched this guy called Windward Formation, wearing their Blue Brook Guild's title above his head, swaggering around in front of them, chatting and laughing without any pressure at all.
Even if this guy was a spy, he should at least feel a little embarrassed in this situation, right? Especially since this was just a game. As a spy, you can't say something righteous like "Sorry, I'm a cop." When betraying the people around you, you should feel even more guilty, so you need a stronger mental fortitude. This guy in front of him is a super talented spy! He's still calmly messing around in front of the guild leader.
The scene was quickly handed over, but when this guy came down with his people, he still looked very cautious, as if the people from Blue Brook Guild and Samsara would kill them to vent their anger.
Chun Yi Lao felt annoyed just watching. Fighting in the game is the least efficient means of competition. If killing these people could really solve the problems in front of them, Chun Yi Lao would not hesitate to start a world war. It was a pity that even if they gained a small advantage here, what could they do? If it were between large guilds, they could say they won a battle and earned some face, but killing this group of scattered soldiers would only be embarrassing for the big guild.
Chun Yi Lao, as one of the top figures in the game, had long passed the stage where he needed to PK to vent his anger. Yet, the other guy was still wary of him, making him feel that this person's character was not high enough.
"Oh, what's this? You guys aren't planning to fight us?" Wei Chen safely led his people out of the circle and was surprised to find that neither Blue Brook Guild nor Samsara intended to make a move.
"Is that necessary?" Chun Yi Lao said indifferently.
"In the game, you should act out your grievances. After suffering such a big loss, you don't even want a good fight, you're still calculating this and that. Your game is really boring," Wei Chen said.
These words caused Chun Yi Lao to remain silent for a long time, before finally admitting, "You're right, but we weren't playing a game to begin with."
"Haha, you have a high level of awareness, as expected of the Blue Brook Guild leader," Wei Chen said.
"Hehe, I'll remember you too," Chun Yi Lao didn't participate in the battle himself, and his view was always focused on these people.
"That's for sure. If possible, I hope you don't kick me out of the guild," Wei Chen said.
"Why?" Chun Yi Lao asked.
"Because Blue Brook Guild's benefits are pretty good, and the reputation is good enough," Wei Chen said.
Chun Yi Lao was speechless. He thought there would be some brilliant reason, but it turned out to be so straightforward. So, he decisively, in the instant he turned his view, kicked all of these Blue Brook Guild characters out of the guild.
"Damn, you're looking down on us. Such a big guild, you're short a few spots?!" Wei Chen cursed and gradually drifted away, until all of his people finally disappeared into the swamp.
"Quick, see what good stuff you've exchanged for," Wei Chen said impatiently to Ye Xiu, drooling, not long after they walked out.
"These," Ye Xiu sent a trade request and gave him the materials that Wei Chen had requested after the two guild leaders compromised.
"Just these? Why didn't you follow my list?" Wei Chen was still a little dissatisfied. This was already squeezed out of the two guild leaders with their teeth gritted and bleeding hearts.
"Do you have any sense of propriety? Could anyone agree to your list?" Ye Xiu said.
"In this kind of situation, it's always worth a try," Wei Chen said.
"This is the result of the try," Ye Xiu said.
"So-so, it's better than what you got before. You're too weak," Wei Chen said.
"I just don't want to be as completely shameless as you," Ye Xiu said.
"Is this completely shameless? If I didn't have a manpower shortage, I would have ambushed some people on the way and blown up their delivery men. That would have been a glorious sight. And the losses, could he have counted that on my head?" Wei Chen said.
"Humans can't stop you anymore..." Ye Xiu took a deep breath and said.
"Alright, give me the Death's Hand back! I'm going to level it up," Wei Chen said.
"Are you sure it won't explode?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Get lost! You jinx," Wei Chen cursed.
"You're feeling guilty," Ye Xiu said.
"With our many years of careful research, there shouldn't be any problems," Wei Chen said.
"You obviously haven't tried it," Ye Xiu said.
"But I have experience," Wei Chen said.
"Antique-level experience?"
"Get lost, get lost, I'm not talking nonsense with you. Quickly give me the Death's Hand, I'll equip it first. We still have a lot to do with the next batch of materials, and I don't know if we can still pick up a Boss," Wei Chen sighed.
"This might be a little difficult. These tricks in the game, the guild leaders can't be any worse than us at them. In the end, they didn't pay enough attention to us before. They thought that the Realm of Gods wasn't like the new server, and their strength was stronger, while I was all alone. But after this, they'll probably see us as a threat that can steal their Bosses. If they really guard against us, we'll be in trouble," Ye Xiu said.
"That's right! Bosses are different from usual. Just killing them takes a lot of time. Stealing a Boss is more troublesome than directly killing their guild leader," Wei Chen said.
"Killing the guild leader to loot him isn't bad, but the key is that guild leaders only drop equipment, not materials!" Ye Xiu said.
"Sigh, if only we knew which person the materials landed on after they killed the Boss, we wouldn't steal the Boss, we'd steal the person!" Wei Chen said.
"It's still difficult. Killing someone doesn't necessarily drop what you want!" Ye Xiu said.
"If it doesn't drop, then keep killing until it does," Wei Chen said.
"Try it next time?" Ye Xiu said.
"But figuring out who picked up the materials is too difficult..." Wei Chen said.
"We need a super high-end spy," Ye Xiu said.
After speaking, the two of them turned their views back and looked. Wei Chen's Windward Formation was behind him, and his brothers had almost all lost their guild titles above their heads. It wasn't that they were hiding them, but that they had been kicked out of the guild. The only exceptions were those mixed in with Samsara and Excellent Dynasty. Because these two guilds didn't participate in the hunt afterward, the characters mixed in with these two guilds naturally weren't exposed.
"We might be on the guild's blacklist now. This is a little troublesome," Wei Chen frowned.
"There's nothing troublesome about that. Just switch accounts. I took a look, and it's really a coincidence. Each of you guys has a different class? That's perfect. I have a set of level 70 characters that are basically empty accounts that I can give you to use. If you transfer your equipment, it'll be about the same," Ye Xiu said.
"Damn, our accounts have a lot of skill points, you know?" Wei Chen said.
"Is that so? How many?"
"Basically around 4700," Wei Chen said.
"How can it be so high?" Ye Xiu was shocked. Normally, leveling up and completing the various reward processes would give a character exactly 4000 skill points. After that, skill points could only be obtained through skill books or hidden tasks, event rewards, and other random conditions.
After so many years of Glory, Ye Xiu wouldn't be too surprised if there were characters in the game whose skill points were comparable to the god-level characters in the professional circle. After all, this mainly depended on luck. However, the people around Wei Chen all had skill points of around 4700, which was a little shocking.
Was it all really due to good luck? Did over 20 people all have such a burst of luck?
Obviously, it was impossible for such a coincidence to happen. There must be some skill involved.
"Hehe, this is my secret," Wei Chen said.
"Bullshit, over 20 people know it, and it's still a secret?" Ye Xiu said unhappily. Speaking of which, skill points had always been a headache and a problem that he couldn't solve. This thing that relied on luck, no one could guarantee how a character would turn out. There was only one way to solve this problem, and that was to spend money! And money couldn't actually buy skill points; it was used to buy accounts! Buy those accounts with a lot of skill points.
Some people say that a problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem. Obviously, these were rich people. For those who spent money to build teams, this wasn't a big problem. Although there were few accounts with high skill points, Glory had been around for so many years and had such a wide player base that they hadn't disappeared completely.
However, for Ye Xiu, who started from scratch, this was a serious problem. The value of high skill point accounts was comparable to Silver equipment, and he couldn't afford to buy even one, let alone a team. He never thought that Wei Chen seemed to have found a way to accumulate skill points? This not only solved the immediate problem, but it was also a way to make money!
Ye Xiu had one expectation right now: he hoped that this shameless guy wasn't blowing smoke, or that it wasn't some "bought" or "untransmittable secret" kind of bullshit.
