Just thought of it...

Zhan Loulan muttered to himself. He could understand Ye Xiu’s plan without much explanation—it was a long-term strategy. However, even though he was talking to a god-level player, Zhan Loulan still felt a bit put out that he had directly made this decision for him. This was completely different from being called his little brother or lackey. Those were just jokes, but this was the god directly making decisions for him. The feeling was completely different.

Having an opinion, Zhan Loulan certainly had to bring it up: “Couldn’t you have told me first?”

Yes, all he wanted was to be informed beforehand, because Zhan Loulan agreed with the plan and wouldn’t have objected. But the decision for this cooperation should have been made by him, or even by Ahead Apart or Night Inhale. The god shouldn’t have made the decision for their Yi Zhan just like that. This time, Zhan Loulan felt that the god had overstepped.

“Oh, wasn’t that what I was doing? What do you think?” Ye Xiu replied.

“…” Zhan Loulan was choked up. So, just agree like that and let it go?

Thinking about it, Zhan Loulan was still a bit indignant! He felt that the key was to make the god realize his attitude.

“What if I don’t think it’s appropriate?” So, Zhan Loulan replied, preparing to put the god in his place. Didn’t you just make the decision? You thought I would definitely think this plan was okay? Yes, I did think it was okay, but what if I disagree now? What will you do?

“Hmm? You’re not participating?” Ye Xiu replied, even sending a surprised emoji.

Unexpected, right! Surprised, right! You know you shouldn’t assume things, right! You know you shouldn’t represent Yi Zhan, right! Zhan Loulan was feeling smug when Ye Xiu sent another message: “If you don’t participate, how will you steal Bosses in the future?”

“Haha, maybe I have other ways!” Zhan Loulan replied.

“Oh, oh!” Ye Xiu replied, “So, you have a backup plan. I didn’t expect that. Then it looks like we’ll be opponents in the future. Good luck!!”

Wait, wait, wait!!

Zhan Loulan was stunned. Something didn’t seem right! Before he could fully process it, the guild system sent a series of messages: Lord Grim, Soft Mist, Steamed Bun Invasion. These three characters, registered under his Yi Zhan Tianxia, had successively left the guild. Then Tang Rou, Steamed Bun, and Chen Guo said goodbye and were ready to leave.

“Hey, hey, hey! What are you guys doing?” Zhan Loulan hurriedly called out to the three of them. He suddenly understood.

“Misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding!” Zhan Loulan shouted.

The three characters stopped and turned to look at him. Their expressions were cold and indifferent, but in reality, the three players were all confused: What? What happened? What misunderstanding?

Zhan Loulan had now completely understood. The god hadn’t represented him at all. He had only represented himself. Recently, the god had been advancing and retreating together with their guild, which had made Zhan Loulan forget that he was only under the name of his guild to temporarily get some guild guardian stat points. He hadn’t come to work for his guild. Their identities were equal. The god represented his own independent power. It was just that they hadn’t formed a guild yet, and their characters were still registered under Yi Zhan Tianxia. That was all.

So, it was really a misunderstanding, but it was difficult to explain. It was Zhan Loulan himself who had overthought things. Seeing that the other characters were leaving the guild, Zhan Loulan immediately realized that in that cooperation plan, his Yi Zhan Tianxia had been excluded as a non-participant.

Damn it! How could they not participate?

If the god did this, the smaller club guilds might unite together, and the big club guilds would still be so sharp. And then, there would be Yi Zhan Tianxia left, like wandering ghosts? How unique?

Zhan Loulan didn’t want to be so unique, not at all. He shouted “Hey, hey, hey” to the three while sending a message to the god to explain, using a pleading tone: “God, you’re too decisive! I didn’t say I wouldn’t participate. I was just considering it, ya ya ya ya!!”

“Consider it? What’s there to consider?” The god replied.

“Yes, no consideration at all! But I spilled water on my keyboard just now, so I was a bit flustered and overthought things for a moment. Now I’ve decided, I have to participate, definitely. Is there even any need to say that?” Zhan Loulan wished he could shout to show his eagerness.

“Oh, if you’re participating, then come over! The other guilds haven’t arrived yet. Let’s kill this Boss with just the three of us first!” The god replied.

Three guilds!

Zhan Loulan immediately saw this word. Sure enough! The god didn’t consider Yi Zhan and him as one entity. They were two entities. Zhan Loulan had been presumptuous, thinking that the god was working for them.

Zhan Loulan hurriedly led his team to the Boss, while inviting Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion to rejoin the guild. However, he received a system rejection. On closer inspection, he realized that they couldn’t join a guild for five days after leaving one. Zhan Loulan was so eager to show his goodwill that he had forgotten this basic setting.

Sigh, sigh, sigh!

Zhan Loulan sighed! He used to have such a good relationship with the god! But he had messed it up, and now they were a bit estranged. Originally, they were under the name of his Yi Zhan Tianxia, which would let guilds like Yue Yun know what’s what! But now? Had the god already joined the Yue Yun Guild?

Zhan Loulan was really annoyed. The system had just reminded him once that characters couldn’t join a new guild for five days after leaving one, but he had already forgotten.

When the Yi Zhan Tianxia group arrived at the Boss, Ye Xiu and the Yue Yun Guild leader had already reached an agreement. With this cooperative intention, the previous grievances were forgotten. The two were chatting happily. Many Yue Yun Guild players had also gathered around. Who was this? This was the Great God Ye Qiu! Tmd, they had encountered him in the game, so they had to come over and watch.

When Zhan Loulan arrived, he saw that the god and the Yue Yun Guild were getting along so well, and he felt depressed and heartbroken!

It was all his fault! He didn’t figure out the situation and meddled!

“God…” Zhan Loulan came over and greeted him awkwardly.

“You’re here? Then let’s start killing? The three guilds will split the loot, is that okay?” Ye Xiu said.

It seemed that Ye Xiu was all alone, but could the energy of a god be measured by manpower? Yi Zhan Tianxia and Yue Yun knew very well how much the god’s presence improved the team. So, even though the other side had fewer people, they still took a third of the loot, and neither had any objections. Although they were few in number, they were the core, weren’t they?

“You guys haven’t killed this Boss before, have you?” Ye Xiu asked the two guild leaders.

“Mm.” The Yue Yun Guild leader and Zhan Loulan responded.

“Then I’ll be in charge of the command!” Ye Xiu said.

The two certainly had no objections. However, Zhan Loulan knew that the god hadn’t killed this Boss either, but pioneering such a high-difficulty task seemed to show off his skills!

With the people from both guilds combined, there were nearly four or five hundred people, making the area lively. However, they had been opponents in the Dark Shrine before, and now they were going to cooperate to kill the Boss? This sudden change in relationship was something that the major club guilds were used to, but the players who participated in less direct competition were not quite used to it.

Moreover, killing a wild Boss didn’t require four groups. It might even lead to friendly fire between the groups, which would be troublesome. So, in the end, each guild selected their best players and put together a group, while the remaining people spread out to take charge of the task of guarding the area. Just because there were no other competitors now didn’t mean there wouldn’t be any later.

“Then let’s start?” Ye Xiu looked around. Zhan Loulan and the Yue Yun Guild leader were, of course, in the main group to kill the Boss.

“Let’s begin!”

“Team One…”

“Team Two…”

Ye Xiu began to give instructions, sometimes with his voice and sometimes with text. In any case, the team channel was clean at this time, so using text wouldn’t delay anything.

On the front line was Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim himself, with Steamed Bun Invasion and Soft Mist on either side, and Zhan Loulan’s five-man team. Their level was indeed higher than the average player. As for the rest of the team, they were on the outside, looking for opportunities to output damage and making adjustments according to the instructions.

Chen Guo’s Chasing Haze was mixed in with the crowd. Looking around, she saw people from Yi Zhan Tianxia on one side, surging forward, and people from the Yue Yun Guild on the other side, also surging forward. In the middle was her, from Team Happy, all alone. How lonely…

Chen Guo was depressed! They had to quickly establish the guild and have a dozen or twenty people around to show their presence at times like these.

With Ye Xiu in charge and several experts assisting, the jungle guardian, Wick, was difficult to deal with, but the opening was still going smoothly. Overall, they were not as good as the big club guilds, but in terms of elite squads, they were definitely better. Plus, with a god-level player like Ye Xiu, any elite team from a guild would be crushed.

The wild Boss was steadily being eaten, and Ye Xiu’s precise judgment and command played a big role. Zhan Loulan and the others breathed a sigh of relief. With such a commander, dealing with this Boss was quite easy. As long as there were no outsiders disturbing them, the Boss wouldn’t cause them any trouble.

But what they feared came. The Yue Yun Guild leader received a message that his guild members had discovered the people from the Zhao Hua Guild outside.

The Zhao Hua Guild was affiliated with the Zhao Hua Club of the Alliance. The Zhao Hua Team finished 17th this season, obviously one of the low-end teams. Their mindset was the same when it came to eating two wild Bosses.

“Are they close?” Ye Xiu asked when he heard the news from the Yue Yun Guild leader.

“They should be able to get here before we kill it,” the Yue Yun Guild leader said.

“Then let them come! Let’s see how things are with us, so it’ll be easier to talk later,” Ye Xiu said.
