Hu Die Lan

Chapter 161 It's Not Easy Being an Expert

Tuo Ya finally fell.

Although he entered a berserk state, gained higher speed, and used his skills even more flamboyantly… it was useless. None of it mattered in front of Ye Xiu. Lord Grim was as if the system was specifically designed to deal with him, precise, without any mistakes. He tightly restricted every skill that Tuo Ya used.

Breaking his moves, interrupting him, attacking first…

Diverse methods, ever-changing, it was fortunate that Tuo Ya wasn't a real human, otherwise, such deliberate suppression would have made anyone cough up blood.

Tuo Ya fell, and the system message was released.

The new record for the Flowing Land dungeon was undoubtedly achieved.

Moonlit Guild, 28 minutes, 01.27 seconds.

Compared to Blue Brook Guild's original score of 30 minutes, 45.66 seconds, they improved by two and a half minutes. Compared to the major guilds who competed for records by seconds, the extent of Ye Xiu's improvement each time was so exaggerated that it was despairing. Blue Brook Guild's record was held for so many days, meaning others couldn't even beat it by a second, yet Ye Xiu and his team improved it by two and a half minutes this time.

The world channel was immediately flooded with messages.

Moonlit Guild? Why the Moonlit Guild?

Lord Grim! Lord Grim again.

Isn't Lord Grim from Blue Brook Guild? Why did he run over to Moonlit Guild?

Steamed Bun Invasion! When are you paying me back my 5 gold coins?

The messages were a mess, with even someone calling out Steamed Bun Invasion by name.

Steamed Bun Invasion calmly replied in the world chat: “Don’t worry, I’ll pay it back together when I have 10 gold coins.”

Sending world messages also had a cooldown; you could only send one every two minutes, so it was impossible for the other party to respond in time. Moreover, most of the calls in the world chat were just jokes; it was faster to send a private message if you really wanted to talk. However, this interruption led to many people in the world chat demanding debts, and soon messages like "When is my wife paying me back?" were flooding the screen, making people speechless.

Feng Hua was naturally very excited at this time, having a friendly meeting with the guild members in the guild. However, it must be admitted that the Moonlit Guild's level was still relatively low, and they were rather stingy. At this time, after the dungeon record was released, many people in the guild were concerned about what equipment the rewards would be.

Refreshing a dungeon record would 100% grant a piece of purple equipment, but no one in guilds like Blue Brook Guild or Tyrannical Ambition really cared about this. What they wanted was the record, the fame. They had seen plenty of low-level purple equipment, so they weren't curious or concerned.

Even Feng Hua, the guild leader, was quite excited about the dropped purple equipment, even though he cared about the record. It was no wonder, as a dignified guild leader, he didn't even have a piece of purple equipment on him, and he was worse off than the four hired workers, Lord Grim and the others. Today, when he saw them, and saw Soft Mist and the other two change into a full set of purple weapons, Feng Hua's eyeballs almost popped out.

Purple weapons! Don't think that every member of the elite teams in the big guilds has one; in reality, they are rare. If Moonlit Guild got a purple weapon, no one would obey any class priority rules. Anyone who rolled the dice and got it could sell it on the market for money! Those who were kind would share some of the profits with their teammates, while those who were selfish would ignore everyone else, and the disputes that this led to had never stopped in the ten years since Glory began.

Feng Hua was quite happy at this time because the final reward was a purple-grade revolver, which was perfect for his Sharpshooter. Moreover, none of the four hired workers rolled the dice with him, so it ended up directly in his pocket, making him naturally very happy.

Feng Hua was still reveling in the guild channel! Lord Grim came to his side: "The record is out."

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, thank you!!" Feng Hua came back to his senses and quickly thanked the person.

"The Scarlet Moon set?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Oh, oh, oh!!" Feng Hua was so happy that he had forgotten all about it. He had already obtained the Scarlet Moon set and had it on him, and he quickly took it out and gave the effect to Ye Xiu. The four pieces were a hat, top, belt, and pants, lacking shoulder pads and shoes.

Ye Xiu took it and went directly to trade with Tang Rou.

"What?" Tang Rou accepted the trade.

"The equipment you use." Ye Xiu put the four pieces into the trade interface one by one.

"Where did you get them?"

"Feng Hua just gave them to us! We helped him clear the dungeon!" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh." Tang Rou confirmed the transaction, took the equipment, and put it directly on her body. This set naturally emphasized an overall style, and now that it was put together, with the top and pants being the two key pieces, the whole effect was immediately highlighted. In a set of scarlet leather armor, with a cinched waist and shaping, Soft Mist immediately looked much more powerful.

"Is there one for me?" Steamed Bun Invasion came up to ask.

"Not for now," Ye Xiu said.

Steamed Bun Invasion was dissatisfied, but not with Ye Xiu, but with Feng Hua, and he moved closer and said, "Noob guild leader is too stingy, get me a set too!"

"Ah? There aren't any more..." Feng Hua said blankly. The transaction had already been completed, so why was there still someone coming to collect fees?

"Stingy," Steamed Bun Invasion despised.

Feng Hua spat blood; wasn't it stingy to not give a little something extra when buying things?

"Steamed Bun, don't worry, this set was agreed upon beforehand, to be given to Soft Mist first, and then we'll find a chance to get you one," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, oh, no rush, ladies first," Steamed Bun Invasion said.

"There are still two more dungeon runs. Is Feng Hua still going?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Ah… I this…" Feng Hua was happily chatting with his friends and guild members, and he really didn't want to go to the dungeon, but since people had just helped him break the record, it didn't seem right to stop playing with them now, right?

Feng Hua was painfully making his choice, but Ye Xiu had already said, "Then we'll continue!"

As he said that, the four of them quickly left the team and formed their own team next to them, and at the same time, they all quit the Moonlit Guild.

"Hey…" Feng Hua was about to say something, but the four people directly entered the dungeon, without saying anything about adding another person.

Did his contact with these experts end so quickly? Feng Hua suddenly felt a burst of confusion.

The dungeon continued, but for these experts, it was nothing. This time, they weren't going for the record, so they naturally wouldn't go straight to the back garden. Every monster in every corner of the castle would be found and killed. Even without the blue equipment or higher that the dungeon boss was guaranteed to drop, dungeons were still the most profitable place for players, with far more gold coins and experience than leveling areas. Most players could not do anything else every day, but they would not waste their dungeon chances. Currently, the dungeons still had three or four chances, and the higher you went, the fewer chances there were for larger dungeons, and some could only be visited once a week, requiring progress to be saved, and it was impossible to clear large dungeons in one day.

After clearing the small monsters, they naturally had to clean up the boss at the end. But this time, Ye Xiu was not dedicated again. He didn't suppress Tuo Ya completely like last time. Like yesterday, he still let everyone play freely, and they spent time with Tuo Ya here.

"Hey, why aren't you fighting seriously!" Tang Rou had an opinion; she didn't like hiding her strength or anything like that.

"You mean like last time?" Ye Xiu said.

"Of course."

"I'm an old man. How can I stand to fight like that all the time? You young people have the strength, so use more of it," Ye Xiu said.

"How old are you!" Tang Rou was angry.

"For esports, I'm really quite old," Ye Xiu said.

"So what? You can obviously fight very strong," Tang Rou said.

"Look at you, you're not professional," Ye Xiu said. "This is actually the same as other sports. Young people can strengthen their confrontation and win the game with their bodies, but when they get older, they have to rely more on experience and awareness, and use their brains to win. Confronting the body like young people can be done occasionally, but doing it frequently will only accelerate the shortening of one's sports life. Esports is the same. Comparing hand speed and operation is the style of you young people. It's better for people of my age to do less of that," Ye Xiu said.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Tang Rou said.

"You'll understand in a few years. Do you think it's so easy to be an expert?" Ye Xiu smiled.

So Tang Rou didn't say anything more and continued to fight the boss, Tuo Ya. Ye Xiu really didn't suppress him as comprehensively as in the last game. The level he finally displayed was not much different from Tang Rou and the others. So, just like an ordinary team facing Tuo Ya, they eliminated Tuo Ya somewhat embarrassingly and chaotically.

After that, they didn't add anyone, and after playing once again with four people, the number of dungeon runs for Flowing Land was used up.

"Everyone, I'll go offline first!" Su Mucheng, as usual, went offline after clearing a dungeon a few times in the early morning.

Chen Guo and Steamed Bun Invasion said goodbye to each other, and of course Ye Xiu wouldn't bother with this. Su Mucheng was sitting right next to him! He picked up the headset and turned his head to ask, "Going back?"

"Yeah, let's go back!" Su Mucheng also took off her headset, exited the game, and was about to turn off the computer with a flick of the mouse.

"Hey, hey, hey! It's the server, my young lady, don't turn it off for me!" Ye Xiu was sweating profusely and almost pounced over to stop Su Mucheng.

"Oh, I forgot." Su Mucheng was also taken aback. Of course, she knew what would happen if she turned off the server. It was just a natural habit to turn off the computer after using it, and she forgot for a moment.

"That was close." Ye Xiu wiped his sweat. Su Mucheng was also a professional player with fast hands, but fortunately, he was faster.

"Then I'm leaving!" Su Mucheng got up and watched Ye Xiu just turn off the computer's monitor.

"Go ahead!"

"I don't know when I'll be able to come next time. Internet cafes are still very dangerous, right?" Su Mucheng said.

"Yeah!" Ye Xiu said.

"Sigh, I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Su Mucheng left the front desk with great regret.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Okay!" Su Mucheng quickly walked back.

"We have braised beef, mushroom stewed chicken, tomato and egg, sauerkraut ribs, fresh shrimp fish, and various other flavors of instant noodles. What kind would you like?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Uh… I'll have the mushroom stewed chicken." Su Mucheng said after thinking about it seriously.

"Please wait a moment…" Ye Xiu had already taken a bowl of mushroom stewed chicken noodles and got up to find hot water.
