Hu Die Lan
Chapter 556 I Am MT
“Yeah.” Ye Xiu nodded, quite used to Chen Guo observing him and asking curious questions from time to time.
“I feel a deep sense of unease for Tyrannical Ambition,” Chen Guo said.
“Haha, absolutely,” Ye Xiu laughed. After reading the intelligence document given to him by Zhan Loulan, he immediately searched for these guilds in the game.
Ye Xiu couldn't infiltrate those well-known Tyrannical Ambition branches even if he wanted to. Because these guilds were flying the banner of Tyrannical Ambition, and Tyrannical Ambition's fans were lining up to squeeze in! With today's Glory player base, filling a dozen guilds was nothing. These guilds, plus Tyrannical Ambition's main guild, were all full. The operation of a large guild emphasized winning people over with virtue, so it was unlikely that they would grant a favor, kick someone out, and add him in.
Moreover, Ye Xiu had no favors to ask. Would he go to Jiang You and say, "I'm Ye Qiu, kick someone out and let me in?" That would attract tens of thousands of people to hunt him down.
In the end, Ye Xiu made his choice from those guilds that Tyrannical Ambition didn't secretly manage or win over. Zhan Loulan's intelligence was also very detailed. It described which of these guilds were controlled by Tyrannical Ambition's people and which were supported by Tyrannical Ambition's people. Ye Xiu finally chose a guild directly controlled by Tyrannical Ambition's people, called Extinguish the Heavens.
Ye Xiu felt that this arrogant and domineering name was a perfect match for his Invincible Most Handsome.
And then there was the guild leader of Extinguish the Heavens: Extinguish the Heavens Honor! (Mie Tian Zun)
Without further explanation, Ye Xiu unhesitatingly submitted his application to join this guild.
If it weren't for having such intelligence, the Extinguish the Heavens guild would seem like an ordinary guild. Although it was also a level 20 max-level guild, it only had a little over a thousand members. This was basically the limit of an ordinary guild's operation. It was difficult to control any more people than that based solely on the guild leader's personal charm; a guild warehouse was essential. It was needless to say how difficult it was for ordinary players to run a guild warehouse. It was better if they had some like-minded helpers, but it was still no match for club guilds with both people and money.
The Extinguish the Heavens guild had 1024 members, which was pretty good for an ordinary player guild. As long as the guild warehouse operated maturely, it could gradually start to grow. Since this type of guild was not a direct proxy for the club's main guild, the club wouldn't pour money into building their warehouse. They would simply try to keep them from collapsing and let them develop on their own.
As for the inner workings of this, ordinary players in an ordinary guild would definitely be unaware. However, their steps in the game had unknowingly coincided with the establishment of the guild, and both were growing together without realizing it.
After submitting his application, Ye Xiu confidently waited for a reply.
The reason was simple: ordinary guilds weren't like club guilds, where people lined up to apply and couldn't get in even if they wanted to. People randomly joined ordinary guilds, and the turnover was frequent, so sometimes they let people in without even asking. Moreover, Ye Xiu had written a note in his application, and although it was only four words, it was enough to attract attention.
These four words were: I am MT. (Main Tank)
Yes, MT.
A PVE team was centered around the MT. It could be said that the number of MTs determined how many teams could be formed. Without even one MT, the team should just grind monsters; they shouldn't dream of dungeons or bosses.
However, the MT class was high-end and laborious, and although it had a core position, not many people liked to play it. Therefore, for an average guild, the words "I am MT" were definitely eye-catching.
Sure enough, not long after Ye Xiu applied to join, he was accepted into the guild, and someone even announced in the guild list, "Welcome new classmate."
Ye Xiu looked at the ID: Xin Lu. Judging by the name, it seemed to be a girl.
After casually sending a smiling emoticon and saying "Thank you," Ye Xiu opened the guild list and scanned it. First, he saw that the domineering guild leader, Extinguish the Heavens Honor, was also online.
"Oh? A newbie?" The domineering guild leader Extinguish the Heavens Honor finally emerged.
"Guild Leader, hello," Ye Xiu sent a message. Chen Guo next to him sprayed his monitor with a *poof*: "Pretending to be cute?"
"Cough!" Ye Xiu said solemnly, and then saw a bunch of people popping up in the guild channel, mostly to watch the newbie, the newbie lying down to be teased, and so on. Even with a low online rate, a thousand-person guild still had a considerable number of people. At this time, there was a flurry of activity, and there were quite a few warm-hearted people in this guild.
"Oh, a knight! MT?" Someone saw the new member's class and immediately shouted. MTs were indeed eye-catching, and although knights were Glory's premier MT, they weren't limited to being MTs. In fact, more players used knight accounts as DPS, and of course, there were even more people who weren't interested in PVE. If a knight were used for PK, they would be tough, thick-skinned, and have a solid defense, making them quite formidable.
“Yes, I am MT," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh? MT?" Guild leader Extinguish the Heavens Honor obviously hadn't seen Ye Xiu's application or the note. When he heard that someone aspired to be an MT, he became interested.
"What are the newbie's stats?" Extinguish the Heavens Honor asked.
"Stamina 750, Strength 520, Intelligence 414, Spirit 405," Ye Xiu reported truthfully.
The channel was instantly silent. After a moment, someone blunt couldn't help but say, "So weak!"
The four main stats of the Knight class were balanced like the unspecialized class. However, knights who served as MTs would naturally make choices in equipment, prioritizing stamina to increase health, which was the most basic. Other stats would be changed according to the situation. Strength was stacked to increase physical defense, intelligence to increase magic defense, and spirit to increase resistance to abnormal status skills. In short, there would be different equipment depending on the opponent.
But the stats that Ye Xiu reported had insufficient stamina. High-end MT knights now required themselves to have over 1000 stamina. Ordinary knights had a passing grade of 840 stamina. Ye Xiu was 90 points short of passing, making him a legendary water MT in terms of stats.
"What equipment do you have? Show it to us," guild leader Extinguish the Heavens Honor said, also sending a sweating emoticon.
"I haven't played in a long time, so my equipment is relatively poor," Ye Xiu said, sending out his equipment one by one. The guild's veterans saw that they were indeed from earlier dungeons. It shouldn't be difficult for current players to reach the passing grade. After all, MTs had a special status, and the equipment wasn't too expensive.
"How's your technique?" Extinguish the Heavens Honor asked.
"Look at my name," Ye Xiu replied confidently.
*Poof*... Chen Guo on the side sprayed again.
"Invincible Most Handsome..." Ye Xiu's knight's name indeed made everyone silent. Even Extinguish the Heavens Honor, who exuded dominance, might have felt outdone. He didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said, "Xin Lu, start a party tonight and take this newbie brother to grind some equipment!"
Xin Lu was the one who let Ye Xiu into the guild. Having this authority meant she had some status in the guild. Extinguish the Heavens Honor clearly meant, "You let him in, so you take responsibility!"
Xin Lu didn't say anything and just replied with an "Mm." Then Ye Xiu received Xin Lu's friend request and quickly accepted it. He then received a message from Xin Lu: "What time are you free tonight?"
"I'm free all the time," Ye Xiu said.
"Is seven o'clock okay?"
"Okay."
"Then I'll whisper you when I get online at seven," Xin Lu said.
"Okay, I don't know which dungeon we'll be doing tonight?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Let's do Bone Dragon Abyss. The weapons and shields there are very suitable for you, and this dungeon isn't too difficult. Do you have any problems?" Xin Lu said.
"No, I'm just asking. I'll go look at the walkthrough later," Ye Xiu said.
"..." Xin Lu was speechless.
"See you tonight," Ye Xiu replied politely.
Then there was no more sound in the guild. A bunch of people were probably secretly complaining about this Invincible Most Handsome. Ye Xiu had finished joining the guild and had nothing else to do, so he went to the Knight skill master, washed all his skill points, and then re-added them to the skill tree.
Resetting skill points wasn't free, and it became more expensive the more you did it. Unless there was a major update or a significant adjustment to the skills, the officials would usually release a free skill reset opportunity. At other times, players could only endure the cost, no matter how expensive it was. It wasn't like they would remake their character because of it.
At seven in the evening, Ye Xiu had eaten his fill and logged into Invincible Most Handsome with high spirits. Chen Guo couldn't miss it either and immediately prepared to watch.
As soon as he logged in, Xin Lu immediately sent a message: "You're here!"
"Yeah, I'm here," Ye Xiu replied.
"Come to Kansas City! We'll head over together," Xin Lu replied.
Ye Xiu then teleported to Kansas City. This was a level 70 main city. Whether it was the map or the main city, the desolation of the level 55 area was no longer visible. Glory's online game finally had a direct representation of the place where all players gathered. The liveliness of the level 70 area of the Divine Domain was no less than that of the new server.
At the north gate of Kansas City, Ye Xiu saw Xin Lu, a female priest. Around her, players with the title "Extinguish the Heavens Guild" stood in a group, numbering nine in total. Bone Dragon Abyss was a ten-person dungeon, and everyone had arrived, waiting for Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu quickly had Invincible Most Handsome walk over, also displaying the guild title. He scanned the crowd as he approached and immediately had a question: "Oh, there's another knight. It'll be hard to split the equipment if it drops!"
