Chapter 124 The Guild

December 24th, 2:03 AM.

Guild Leader Jiang You of Baqi Xiong Tu, along with the four top-tier experts of the guild who had accompanied him, were delivering their final greetings and blessings to the guild players fighting on the wasteland battlefield of the tenth server.

Jiang You and his group of five had come to break records. Their initial intention was to salvage Baqi Xiong Tu's current reputation crisis. As things had developed, they had completely resolved the threat of Jun Mo Xiao once and for all. They had also successfully taken down the dungeon record for First Line Canyon. This trip could truly be called a resounding success.

Jiang You and his group of five had cleared the dungeon three times, but the result from their first run was never surpassed, even by themselves. After those three runs, their mission was essentially complete. They had lingered until now, partly to celebrate the victory with the players in the tenth server, and partly to see if Jun Mo Xiao was truly honest and trustworthy, and wouldn't try to touch their record.

Now, half an hour had passed since they had exited the dungeon. The system messages were silent, and they were all beginning to relax. Whether he would break their record dishonestly, or take advantage of a loophole to set a freakish record before them, neither of those things had happened.

"Alright, next, the tenth server will truly be handed over to you." Jiang You earnestly instructed the tenth server guild leader, Ye Du Han Tan, core members, Ye Wei Yang, and others. The four people who came with him were also veteran core members of the Baqi Xiong Tu guild. The guild members in the newly opened server naturally knew about their arrival. At this time, the four of them were also engaging in friendly exchanges with individual members, cheering them on.

Just as everything was harmonious, a system message flashed across the vast message channel like a shooting star. At first, the players of Baqi Xiong Tu didn't realize it. Only after the message had passed, when they tried to recall the string of information that had just caught their eye, did they realize it seemed like...

Not good!!!

Almost everyone realized it at the same time. In that instant, every member of Baqi Xiong Tu made the same action: they grabbed their mouse and dragged the message box back, searching for the message that had just flashed by and been swiped off the screen.

But in reality, it was already unnecessary.

Some of Baqi Xiong Tu's people were dazed, some missed it, but there were plenty of players in the tenth server. Some people saw the message, and some people saw it clearly.

Those players who saw it, who saw it clearly, had already started discussing it. The earlier flood of messages had caused the Baqi Xiong Tu players to vaguely miss something important. But now, the messages flooding the screen were all discussing the message they were trying to find.

New record...

Seeing these three words, the players of Baqi Xiong Tu knew that they hadn't been hallucinating, hadn't been seeing things. In that instant, what flashed before their eyes was indeed a message that a dungeon record had been broken.

The joyous farewell gathering suddenly became deathly still.

That's right, deathly still. Although everyone was just sitting in front of their computer, looking at everything on the screen, everyone really wanted to feel like they were there, to personally experience this atmosphere.

Loss, confusion... all kinds of negative emotions spread through the network.

"Who was it?" Jiang You suddenly asked, his mouth full of bitterness.

Who was it? Wasn't it obvious? Since a record had been broken, of course, you could check the record leaderboard. But Jiang You acted like he didn't know this, and didn't even look. Why? Was he unwilling to see a certain name?

Jiang You didn't look, but someone did.

"It's Yan Yu Lou..." When Ye Du Han Tan said this name, even his own tone carried some uncertainty. But this was definitely the truth. When he opened the dungeon leaderboard, he had some doubts. So he repeatedly confirmed it three times. It really was Yan Yu Lou, there was no mistake.

"Yan Yu Lou?" Jiang You repeated the name with an even more uncertain tone.

Yan Yu Lou was indeed one of the guilds with club backing, but among the guilds that Baqi Xiong Tu considered rivals, this guild's name rarely appeared.

Yan Yu Lou, and its backer, the Yan Yu Club's Yan Yu Team, were both strange existences.

They actually had quite a bit of strength, but they were always overlooked for their competitiveness. This seemed to be related to their temperament. And their temperament seemed to be influenced by their star player.

Yan Yu Team's star player was a woman.

A woman who liked to watch all sorts of crude and poorly made melodramatic dramas, and liked to talk about all sorts of gossip.

Of the twenty clubs in the alliance, the twenty teams, Yan Yu Team was the only team whose star player was a woman.

Chu Yunxiu's skill level wasn't low at all. As the star player of a team, she could definitely be considered one of the top-tier gods in the alliance. But compared to male players, Chu Yunxiu's performance always made people feel like she wasn't tough enough. In some deadlocked situations, her win rate was very low. And the games she lost often looked like a kind of concession.

She should have been able to persist a little longer, but for some reason, she always silently lost.

No one could really say what that thing was about her personality or her temperament, so the outside world mostly explained it as, "After all, she's a female player."

Electronic sports didn't have the direct and intense physical exertion and stamina contests like traditional sports, seemingly giving men and women a fair competitive platform. But perhaps it was because women were naturally uninterested in this kind of intense competition of fighting and killing. The proportion of female players in electronic sports was already very small, and in terms of skill, they were also far behind the male players.

Chu Yunxiu was already a rare case of reaching the level of a top-tier god, but because of these reasons, people felt that she lacked competitiveness.

The star player was enough to determine the style and temperament of the entire team. In the end, the Yan Yu Team was regarded as lacking competitiveness.

And their history was precisely telling people this point.

After Chu Yunxiu joined, the Yan Yu Team entered the playoffs for three consecutive years. But no matter how outstanding they performed in the regular season before that, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and the situation was quite ugly. The Yan Yu Team seemed completely unable to adapt to the more severe and intense competition in the playoffs.

The first time, it could be said that they lacked playoff experience, but what about the second and third times? They couldn't keep using experience as an excuse.

The Yan Yu Team, the Yan Yu Team's star player, was labeled with this.

The team was relatively overlooked, and the guild in the game was the same. Yan Yu Lou wasn't small in scale, and there were many experts, but in many competitions, they were inconspicuous, either flashing briefly or not even appearing at all.

Soft! Too soft!

This was the opinion of many people about Yan Yu Lou, and this opinion seemed to be very appropriate when applied to the team and the star player Chu Yunxiu.

But Chu Yunxiu was a girl after all, and people could understand that she was a bit of a soft girl.

But the Yan Yu guild was a big guild supported by a bunch of tough guys. The fact that they were also like a soft girl made many people despise them.

As a result, now, Baqi Xiong Tu! From the boss, to the team, to the guild, everything was synonymous with domineering and hard-boned in Glory. But the record was actually stepped on by that soft girl Yan Yu Lou. This dramatic rise and fall was really hard for people to accept.

"Yan Yu Lou? How is that possible!!" Jiang You's voice suddenly rose. He personally opened the dungeon leaderboard, found First Line Canyon dungeon, and the first place on the list was indeed Yan Yu Lou, with a time of 25 minutes, 21 seconds, and 78 milliseconds.

Baqi Xiong Tu crushed the entire server's record by more than 2 minutes, and now Yan Yu Lou crushed their record by more than 2 minutes.

Jiang You's face changed. Having personally studied this low-level dungeon, he had no idea how Yan Yu Lou had stolen those 2 minutes.

"Are you sure these people are from Yan Yu Lou?" Jiang You tried very hard, but couldn't find Jun Mo Xiao in the five people's names. But with this scourge ahead, who knew if there were any experts playing as substitutes? Perhaps it was popular for recently retired experts to team up and cause trouble for ordinary players in the new server?

"They are all from Yan Yu Lou." After looking at the list, Ye Du Han Tan had already confirmed the identities of these five people.

"The characters are, but the operators behind the characters may not be. It's really despicable," Jiang You said.

"Cough!" Ye Du Han Tan coughed awkwardly.

Jiang You sounded like he was reminding him of something. After a slight pause, he became even more embarrassed.

Having spent too many days in the tenth server, playing the Elementalist character Ai Cou Re Nao for too many days, Jiang You had even forgotten that he was also not the character himself. He was also the "really despicable" person he had just mentioned.

Fortunately, other than Ye Du Han Tan, not many people noticed Jiang You's slip of the tongue.

Everyone was staring blankly at Yan Yu Lou's new record, and at the discussions in the world chat.

Everyone wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this time, those ignorant players in the world chat were saying one after another: Baqi Xiong Tu is really rotten! The record they set didn't even need Jun Mo Xiao to take action before it was stepped on. Yan Yu Lou? What kind of guild is that?

Many naive newbies didn't understand the background of Yan Yu Lou at all, and regarded this guild as a tiny small guild. This further highlighted Baqi Xiong Tu's incompetence. Coincidentally, even more newbies trusted this kind of statement, and a bunch of people carelessly discussed in the world chat about how mediocre Baqi Xiong Tu really was.

Mediocre?

Even when Baqi Xiong Tu was wiped out, they had never been said to be "mediocre."

The experts were angry, and the grassroots of the guild were also angry.

Without waiting for the guild leader to give instructions, grassroots players had already started arguing with those who were discriminating against Baqi Xiong Tu in the world chat.

Jiang You and the others watched, feeling very pained... Their guild's players were clearly at a disadvantage, and were being thoroughly despised by those unknown newbies.

There was no way! They didn't have any tenable arguments!

The first kills they had obtained, the records they had snatched, all had Jun Mo Xiao's participation. And the record they had just proudly set, "Without Jun Mo Xiao taking action, any guild could destroy them," the new players said.

Yan Yu Lou was just any guild... Baqi Xiong Tu really wanted to cry but had no tears. Where could they go to reason with this?
