Hu Die Lan
Chapter 586 Ascending to the Top Position Upon Arrival
You Fengdian was Jiang You's main account in the Realm of Gods, the true identity of the guild leader of Tyrannical Ambition. Ye Xiu had actually interacted with him haphazardly in the tenth server, but he basically didn't take it to heart. Whether it was Ye Du Han Tan or Jiang You, it made no difference to him.
For an identity like You Fengdian, there was really no need to hang any titles above his name. In the eyes of Glory players, in terms of fame, these top guild leaders were not much different from professional players. They were all well-known figures. Therefore, above You Fengdian's name, there wasn't a "Guild Leader of XXX Guild" title like many other guild leaders.
Ye Xiu, controlling Unrivaled Super Handsome, approached, and Xi Zhiyang was already introducing, "This is so-and-so, that is so-and-so, and that one over there is also so-and-so." Each person had decorations besides their ID, just like in real life when introducing someone, you always introduce their occupation or position. However, some of the introductions, when strung together, sounded a bit comical to Ye Xiu. For example, "The First Knight of the Fourth Branch of Tyrannical Ambition," there were too many modifying clauses, but none could be removed. Remove Tyrannical Ambition? That wouldn't show how powerful they were; remove the Fourth Branch? That wouldn't be factual...
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."
Ye Xiu said "Oh" with each introduction, and after "Oh"-ing all the way, he summarized in one breath, "Hello everyone."
With Jiang You's You Fengdian at the head, this group of people had equipment that could be called top-notch in the online game. Equipment was also a symbol of status. Whether it was the dignified guild leader of Tyrannical Ambition, or the first knight of the branch, wearing a set like Unrivaled Super Handsome's would be like dressing inappropriately in real life, not showing off one's identity.
"Unrivaled Super Handsome? Interesting name, haha. Speaking of which, I used to know someone named Unrivaled Super Lonely, but I haven't seen him in a long time. Maybe he really went to be lonely." The first to speak was Fei Yang, known as the so-called "First Knight of the Fourth Branch of Tyrannical Ambition," casually saying what sounded like a joke, but it already revealed his hidden animosity towards Unrivaled Super Handsome.
This was not surprising. Kind and honest people like Seven Leaves One Branch Flower were actually rare in online games. Online games were a fact that nakedly data-fied the wind of comparison.
In the new server, everyone compared levels. When they reached the Realm of Gods, there was nothing to compare levels with, so they compared equipment, attributes, skill trees, techniques, experience, dungeon progress, arena records, anything and everything. In a world where comparison was so prevalent, it was rare for anyone to be convinced unless the gap was too great.
Like Fei Yang, like Seven Leaves One Branch Flower, and before that, Crisp Bean. They were all the first MTs in their teams. To some extent, they were at the top, and their positions made it even harder for them to be convinced by others. Seven Leaves One Branch Flower was honest and kind, which was actually an anomaly. More were like Crisp Bean, always full of disdain for those in the same profession who were called experts.
It's just that everyone's way of expressing themselves was different. Crisp Bean was younger and more naive. But this Fei Yang seemed to be more worldly. He knew that Unrivaled Super Handsome was brought in by the guild leader's order, and even the general guild leader You Fengdian came personally this time, so his background was even higher. Making Unrivaled Super Handsome too embarrassed was also not giving face to the guild leader.
This massive guild, with its almost corporate management, had players living in it, and the higher-ups couldn't just treat it as a game. It was full of interpersonal relationships. And these guild leaders were definitely not like the babysitters of ordinary player guilds. Although they usually acted like that, everyone knew how much power these guild leaders held.
"Unrivaled Super Lonely? What class?"
Fei Yang's words, which contained a hidden jab, were answered by Ye Xiu like this.
"Class? It's been too long, I've forgotten." Fei Yang paused for a moment, answering quite calmly.
"Oh, is that so!" Ye Xiu said, and even sent a "hehe smile" emoticon.
Fei Yang immediately became depressed. Unrivaled Super Lonely? He didn't really know such a person. He just saw Unrivaled Super Handsome's name and made up a little joke to ridicule the other party's arrogance. As a result, when asked about his class, he couldn't answer, and then "hehe smiled," as if mocking his boredom.
"I've long heard that you're very skilled, brother. I've finally seen it today." With Xi Zhiyang's introduction, Fei Yang started the conversation. Then, it was Jiang You, the highest-ranking person in the group, who spoke. The president of the Fourth Branch didn't even have a chance to speak. Simple details, but they also reflected the distinct levels and complex relationships among the guild members.
"Hehe, the rumors you've heard are true."
"That's right, that's right."
Ordinary people would probably explode upon hearing such unpretentious words, but Jiang You, whose temper wasn't necessarily good, was now all smiles, making Fei Yang a little confused. Although he didn't belong to the main branch, he knew a little about this general guild leader. He wasn't as cold and hard as Han Wenqing of the Tyranny team, but he was basically on that path. He had never heard of him having such a courteous style. What was going on today?
A person's character obviously couldn't be twisted suddenly. The problem seemed more likely to be with this Unrivaled Super Handsome.
Is he really that good?
Fei Yang was muttering to himself. He didn't have any prejudice against Unrivaled Super Handsome's equipment. After all, equipment was external. If his skills were really good, then Jiang You could say a word, and this knight's equipment could be upgraded immediately, maybe even more high-end than his Fei Yang's.
Seeing the general guild leader's attitude, Fei Yang even began to regret why he had made such subtle jabs before.
Speaking of which, what's the point of competing with him, no matter what kind of person he is? Today is a rare opportunity to have contact with the general guild leader. It's important to fully show my strength.
Fei Yang also had his own plans in mind.
Although these branches were named after Tyrannical Ambition, in everyone's minds, they still regarded the main branch as the real deal. Many players in the branches also hoped to enter the main branch.
The main branch was already full. According to the guild's rules, they wouldn't kick people out or replace them for no reason. But everyone knew that the rules were just rigid. If there was a truly outstanding expert, the main branch would definitely have ways to get them in. Fei Yang? He didn't think it was enough to be proud of being the first knight of the Fourth Branch. Speaking of which, he really hated it when people introduced him and added "of the Fourth Branch" after Tyrannical Ambition. Just adding those three words made him feel like the title was a cold joke.
He wanted to remove those three words! The only way, of course, was to be able to enter the main branch.
So he had always hoped that his strength would attract the attention of powerful people in the main branch. It's just that he had been the first knight of the Fourth Branch for quite some time, but the main branch had never extended an olive branch to him. Today, the general guild leader actually came to their side in person, which Fei Yang thought was a good opportunity to show off. But the reason he came was actually because of another knight, which made him full of envy and jealousy. Seeing this situation, if this Unrivaled Super Handsome was really recognized, wouldn't he directly enter the main branch?
I must perform even better than him!
Fei Yang had already secretly made up his mind, but he felt that it was a bit naive to compete with people using words, so he quickly reviewed himself. He already knew what to do today. Showing his technical strength that surpassed Unrivaled Super Handsome in actual combat was the right way. Arguing like that was too boring.
While Fei Yang was pondering in his heart, Jiang You and the others had already told him the intention of calling him here.
"Steal a Boss?" Ye Xiu was stunned.
"No way?!" A'guo on the side was surprised. Even if it's a game, this infiltration progress is too fast, right? Other people's spies are three years after three years, but this Unrivaled Super Handsome has been mixing in the periphery to support the guild for less than two days, and he's already advanced to such a core elite circle as the Boss team?
Ordinary player guilds wouldn't care so much. If you're an expert, you'll immediately be in the first team. But the club guilds are such complex environments with so much competition. Stealing wild Bosses is such an important and dangerous thing. If there's a spy from another guild mixed in, that's really bad. If tactics, plans, and strategies are all sold out by the spy, then how can you steal anything?
"Well, the Boss Blade Peak Swordsman Lang Rui in Blade Peak Canyon has respawned. Our people are already there, and we're about to go support them. We happened to see that you're online, brother. How about we go together?" Jiang You said.
"Sure!" Ye Xiu gladly accepted.
"Well, brother, this equipment of yours..." Jiang You looked at it and estimated that it was really too much to ask: "Brother, you can't join our guild yet, so we can't give you contribution points to get equipment. Take this set and make do with it for now!"
Jiang You had obviously prepared this in advance, otherwise, how could an elemental mage carry a set of knight's plate armor?
Ye Xiu didn't stand on ceremony and traded with You Fengdian to take a look. From the set to the jewelry to the weapon, it was fully equipped. It was much stronger than what he had now. For ordinary players, the equipment had been upgraded by two levels at once, which was enough to be moved. So Ye Xiu also expressed his gratitude and quickly changed all the equipment. Then, he clicked on You Fengdian to apply for a trade and put up the set he had taken off, which was considered garbage by these experts: "These will be donated to the guild on my behalf, hahaha." Ye Xiu said.
"Ah... this..." Jiang You was sweating! He was an elemental mage, and with that little strength, if he really wore a set of knight's plate armor, weapons, and shields, the weight would definitely affect his movements. He had brought a set earlier, which he had prepared to give to Unrivaled Super Handsome as soon as he arrived. Now that the person had returned the set to him, it would be really inconvenient to carry it into battle.
But the person said he wanted to donate it to the guild, so he couldn't refuse, right? It wouldn't be appropriate to say that he should keep it for himself. He had already put on a good set, so what's the use of keeping the discarded one? Generally, people donate the discarded ones to the guild to exchange for contribution points. Unrivaled Super Handsome's behavior was nothing unexpected, but the fact that this guy was now handing it over to himself to do it for him really made Jiang You entangled.
