Hu Die Lan

Chapter 243 Rescuing Baozi

Han Wenqing opened the video recording he had just closed once more. This time, however, the perspective was focused solely on Lord Grim, skipping many parts and only pausing to carefully observe when Lord Grim switched weapon states.

By freely adjusting the perspective, distance, and angle, the recording clearly showed all the changes made by Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

"Unheard of," Han Wenqing said. As a veteran who had been in the league since the first season, he had seen all sorts of strange equipment, techniques, and tactics, but he had never heard of such a bizarre and magical weapon as the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

"Such a weapon shouldn't be in the hands of an ordinary player," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Especially in the new server," Han Wenqing added.

"Jiang You and I discussed it. He suspected that someone from a club was testing a self-made weapon. But judging from Lord Grim's attitude in the game, it didn't seem like it," Zhang Xinjie said.

"What do you think?" Han Wenqing asked.

"I think it's necessary to make further contact to figure out the situation," Zhang Xinjie said.

"You already have a conclusion in your mind, don't you?" Han Wenqing said.

Zhang Xinjie remained silent.

"This weapon is clearly made for a Sanren (unspecialized class). However, having such a weapon only solves half the problem. A powerful character, in addition to the character itself, needs a skillful manipulator behind it," Han Wenqing said. "In the current league, who is best suited to be a versatile Sanren?"

"Uh..."

"Without a doubt, Yu Wenzhou. He is well-rounded. Although his hand speed isn't great, using this versatile class to coordinate the team should be enough," Han Wenqing said.

"Ah?" Zhang Xinjie was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this deduction was also reasonable. That Swordsman Flowing Tree was too much like Huang Shaotian. If he was with Yu Wenzhou, it would be perfectly normal. Testing a self-made weapon could also be Blue Rain's purpose, but...

"But according to the guild's intelligence, Lord Grim is online for a very long time and doesn't seem like a substitute player. Neither Yu Wenzhou nor anyone else in the league seems to have that much time. Actually... there's someone else..." Zhang Xinjie almost couldn't help but say his uncertain guess.

"Are you talking about Ye Qiu?" Han Wenqing sneered when he mentioned this name. "He's already rolled away. Why would he appear again?"

Zhang Xinjie was silent. Ye Qiu's retirement surprised and saddened many people. Han Wenqing deeply despised it.

"Worthless." This was the only comment Han Wenqing made when he saw the news of Ye Qiu's retirement that day. Zhang Xinjie felt that beneath that contempt, there was also some unwillingness and loneliness. Although there were now many competitors in the league who were no less capable than Ye Qiu, this old opponent who had fought for more than seven years was still special in some ways. The number of matches between the two was also a record in the league.

"What did you do later?" Han Wenqing continued to focus on the present.

"I made an appointment to fight them again. I wanted to bring some people from the team over," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Oh? What convenient accounts do you have on hand?" Han Wenqing asked.

"Brawler... there's one," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Then I might as well go and see it," Han Wenqing said, his eyes returning to Lord Grim's image in the recording. Although the most amazing thing in this battle was the Swordsman Flowing Tree's sword skill, Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie ultimately focused on this Sanren, Lord Grim.

In the game.

Guild Leader Ye Du Hantan had also come to watch the battle. With Vice-Captain Zhang Xinjie assisting, they still lost. Ye Du Hantan was naturally caught off guard. He had worked so hard to accumulate these materials, and they were taken away by Lord Grim. He felt even more heartache than Jiang You.

However, he soon learned from Jiang You that Zhang Xinjie was preparing to bring the professional team over again. After being surprised, he immediately regained 100% confidence. However, he still had to work hard to gather the materials for the new bet. While Ye Du Hantan sent people to the market, he also directed the elites to quickly grind the dungeons. With the professional team coming out, they were no longer very enthusiastic about wasting time and energy on trying to surround and intercept in the game.

However, because their cooperation was so scattered, Tyrannical Ambition's decision to slack off wasn't noticed for a while. The other guilds were still persistent. As soon as they spotted Lord Grim's group, they immediately shouted to take action.

Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's characters were in a small border town. After coming out of the arena, they were careful and weren't targeted. But Steamed Bun Invasion was in the metropolis of Congee City. As soon as he came out, he was stared at by countless eyes. When he walked to the city gate, countless characters aimed their views at him. Steamed Bun Invasion was like the star of the moment. As soon as he left the city gate, many people had already taken up their weapons.

"Come out a little more, come out a little more!" Everyone muttered in their hearts. Now Steamed Bun Invasion was too close to the safe zone of the main city. He could somersault in with one flip.

However, Steamed Bun Invasion only stood out by one position, strutted left and right ostentatiously, and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, you rookies, do you think this granddaddy will be fooled?" After saying that, he went back into the city.

Everyone hated it and gnashed their teeth, but what could they do? If there were too few people, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to block him. If there were too many people, it would be like now. Even a blind person could see that there was a problem.

"Boss, what should we do? I can't get out," Steamed Bun Invasion was arrogant in front of people, but he hurriedly called Ye Xiu for help behind the scenes. He had only noticed so much because he had listened to Ye Xiu's reminder before. Otherwise, would the clueless Steamed Bun Invasion notice so many malicious characters inside and outside the city? This was a mystery...

"We're here to meet you. When things get chaotic, squeeze into the crowd and get out," Ye Xiu instructed.

"Understood!" Steamed Bun Invasion calmly set up a small stall in the city gate. They grind dungeons every day. Bosses have a chance to drop purple and orange equipment, but a blue equipment will drop 100%. The team always distributes according to need. If no one wants it, whoever wants it can pick it up. Steamed Bun Invasion also picked up some things because of this, and now he set up a stall to sell them, calling his stall "Universe's Number One Harmonious Team Product."

The players of the major guilds inside and outside the city hated it and itched their teeth, but he was just standing there, talking and laughing with the stall owners and players around him. The more everyone looked at it, the angrier they became.

Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng traveled from the border town to the outside of Congee City. Without saying a word, they began the operation to rescue Steamed Bun.

Ye Xiu's unspecialized class was now in Gunner mode. As soon as he and Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain appeared, they used Anti-Tank Missiles to bombard the rear of these guys outside the city gate.

"Lord Grim!!" Some sharp-eyed people saw it early, but the shells had already flown over. In the smoke, the players hurriedly began to fight back. The Gunners with the same range erected their hand cannons and fired. But how could such an attack do anything to Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng? The two didn't stick close, but bombarded from the outer circle.

The range attackers of the various guilds fired back while the close combat attackers tried to encircle them.

The city gate was usually a place where PKs were fought. Fighting in the arena only resulted in victory data and points. There would be no experience loss. So if there were enemies who needed to fight to the death, they wouldn't go to the arena. They would usually make an appointment outside the city gate to fight three hundred rounds. If they died, they could come out of the city and fight again, right?

Sometimes, there would be several pairs of players fighting at the same time outside the city gate.

At this time, there was already a pair of players dueling to determine the winner, attracting some players to watch. But compared to Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's style, their scene was too small. On this side, two people launched an attack on more than a hundred people, and it was Lord Grim, such a famous person. Immediately, it attracted an audience. In the end, the two who had a feud didn't want to fight anymore. They made an appointment to watch the show first and then decide the winner.

This kind of excitement was the opportunity that Ye Xiu wanted to create for Steamed Bun Invasion.

Many players in the city heard the news and flocked to watch the excitement. Steamed Bun Invasion received Ye Xiu's message and also took the opportunity to instigate the two brothers around him. The three of them rolled up their stalls and mixed into the crowd.

Steamed Bun Invasion wasn't without anyone watching him!

However, in a first-person perspective game like Glory, you can't look down from the sky. Looking straight ahead, the IDs above the characters' heads were mixed together, five-colored and chaotic, and it was impossible to distinguish them. The players who were staring at Steamed Bun Invasion saw Steamed Bun Invasion and the two people behind him suddenly put away their stalls and stood up. Then they entered the crowd. After that, which one was Steamed Bun Invasion? They didn't know, they didn't know!

The players who were staring were chasing the crowd, frantically sweeping their mice through the crowd. They missed it so much! They missed many ancient online games. For example, World of Warcraft and other games had a "mark" function. As long as you put a mark on a character, even if it was mixed in a dense crowd, a mark symbol on the head would always be so clear and outstanding, allowing people to pick it out at a glance. But Glory, which had a fixed perspective and was more difficult to identify targets, didn't have this "mark" function. At this moment, the power of curses filled the designers of Glory.

Steamed Bun Invasion was mixed in the crowd, safely following the plan. While rushing out, he looked around to see if there was a name that he disliked so that he could grab it and beat it hard.

But there wasn't. The crowd was so chaotic that Steamed Bun Invasion couldn't find his way north. So he didn't dare to look around randomly anymore and focused on moving forward.

Finally, Steamed Bun Invasion saw Lord Grim and Dancing Rain in front of him, who were taunting the guild members from a distance. The two leaned back-to-back, firing in all directions. The players of the guilds had detoured in two directions, rushing from the left and right to sandwich the two in the middle. They were now shrinking the encirclement.

"Boss, we're surrounded!" Steamed Bun Invasion prepared to take action.

"Oh? You're out. Are you okay? Then walk towards a place where there's no one. We're leaving too," Ye Xiu replied calmly.
