Chapter 10 The Tenth Server

The highest level in the tenth server was currently 42. The characters within this level range had varying amounts of experience, but the differences weren't too significant. Their main advantage all stemmed from their cooperation with Ye Xiu during the Christmas event.

Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Tang Rou's characters were also among this leading group, but their initial levels were slightly lower. Plus, they weren't very diligent during the All-Star weekend, and they couldn't possibly play 24/7 like the characters from the major guilds. Therefore, they were currently at the bottom of this leading group, with their levels only at 41.

Closely following the three of them was Lan He's guild leader character, Lan He.

Originally, this guild leader account had a fairly prominent level, but it couldn't withstand five days of inactivity. The advantage established during the Christmas event wouldn't be completely erased in just five ordinary days, but among this leading group with similar advantages, five days of not leveling up immediately caused it to be overtaken by the other diligently grinding elite characters.

Ye Xiu's sudden mention of Lan He's guild leader character reminded Lan He. He hadn't used his guild leader account for five days, and although the guild's affairs hadn't been delayed, his character's level would drop. Although it wasn't mandatory for the guild leader's level to be the highest in the guild, level was, after all, the most direct symbol in online games. The guild leader should be the strongest; it was a very logical idea. A guild leader with a higher level would also have more confidence when speaking. Lan He's character was currently still considered top-tier in the guild, but if he continued to let it drop like this, it wouldn't be a good thing in the end.

"I have to go back to Blue Brook Guild and take a look," Lan He thought. He finally sent a message to Lord Grim, and the character Peerless quickly logged off, then logged into his Lan He account.

"You're quick, I haven't even finished talking yet!" Lord Grim's message chased after him.

"What else is there?" Lan He asked. As soon as his character logged in, he received many greetings. Undercover work was a highly confidential matter within the guild, so not many people knew that Lan He had actually been playing in the Happy guild under the guise of "Peerless" for the past five days. Most guild members assumed that the guild leader had been experiencing some issues these past few days. Seeing Lan He suddenly return, they greeted him warmly, which greatly moved Lan He.

Blue Brook Guild was, after all, his home, with many friends and many memories...

While Lan He replied to everyone's greetings and sighed inwardly, Ye Xiu had already sent another message: "Among those at the top of the level rankings, see if there's anyone who might be poached."

"Impossible," Lan He said decisively without even looking at the names on the rankings. Those characters were definitely loyal to their guilds, and they were the focus of the guilds' cultivation. They wouldn't be easily lured away.

"Not even one?" Ye Xiu replied.

"Uh..." Lan He had been very confident just now, but Ye Xiu's question made him hesitate again. Nothing was absolute! He couldn't possibly know the other guilds as well as his own, so how could he be sure that none of those people had problems?

"You might not be too clear about the other guilds, so take a look at your own first," Ye Xiu said.

"Damn, you still know that's our Blue Brook Guild!" Lan He replied, adding a collapsed emoticon.

"If your heart isn't in it anymore, there's no point in forcing you to stay," Ye Xiu replied.

"Who are you saying doesn't have their heart in it anymore!" Lan He replied, suddenly feeling a little guilty. Because these past few days, he himself seemed to have been a little distracted. But when he had just logged into his Lan He account, the enthusiastic greetings and concerns from the guild had suddenly made him feel a sense of belonging to Blue Brook Guild again.

"Oh, I'm just using an example," Ye Xiu replied.

"Even if these characters are no longer being played by the original person, or if the person is no longer around, the characters have to stay!" Lan He said truthfully. These characters were leveled up by two or even three people together to ensure their level, so it was obvious that the characters belonged to the guild. It wasn't as if someone could just take the character away with them whenever they wanted to leave.

"Not a single exception?" Ye Xiu asked again in the same way. And this time, Lan He hesitated after receiving the message. Because when he was looking at his own guild member list, he found that Blue Brook Guild did indeed have an exception in the leading group.

Qian Cheng...

This guy who loved to steal monsters, his character was being leveled up by himself, and the guild wasn't providing any assistance. However, his technical skill in the online game was indeed worthy of being called a top-tier player, so when there were opportunities to level up with powerful characters, Qian Cheng would generally be included.

During the last Christmas event, Qian Cheng was specifically called over in the end, and as a result, his level increased rapidly. After that, he continued his usual playstyle, and although his level increase couldn't compare to those characters who played around the clock, he was still considered to be among the frontline group.

"I know how you guilds cultivate elite characters. But because the Glory game requires an account card to log in, the practice of 2 or 3 people sharing one account is limited to some extent, so the major guilds won't use this method to cultivate too many characters. Judging from the current highest-level characters on the level rankings, those at the front are definitely cultivated using this method. But those at the back should still have a few who are leveling up on their own, right?" Ye Xiu said to Lan He.

This... he really was too familiar with Glory! Lan He felt a bit powerless looking at the message sent by Ye Xiu, because Ye Xiu's judgment was completely correct. Taking the current level rankings as an example, Lan He himself had fallen behind because of these past five days, while Qian Cheng of their Blue Brook Guild was leveling up on his own, and as expected, he was at the tail end of this leading group of ninety-odd people.

"So, starting from the bottom of the level rankings and counting upwards, it's still worth a try!" Ye Xiu said again.

"How do you want to try?" Lan He couldn't help but ask. Although Ye Xiu's judgment was correct, it was only an explanation. These elite characters didn't all belong to the guilds. There were still some people who were qualified to take their characters away. But that didn't mean that these people had no loyalty to the guild. Loyalty was definitely a very important factor when it came to cultivating elite characters. It was extremely difficult to win these people over, and Lan He was very curious about what methods this person would use.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do now. I'll just have to lower my old face and tell people that I'm Ye Qiu, and see if they're willing to follow me," Ye Xiu replied.

"WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lan He's hand trembled, and he typed out a string of exclamation marks. How could he have forgotten this ultimate move?

Ye Qiu's identity...

Thinking of this, and then scanning the list again, Lan He's vision went dark.

Qian Cheng!! He wouldn't say anything about others, but didn't he understand the people in his own guild? Although Qian Cheng was a member of Blue Brook Guild, his favorite professional player was Ye Qiu!

But then again, among the players who played Battle Mage, how many who truly loved this class didn't regard Ye Qiu as an idol? This kind of lethality was exactly the same as the principle that the club guilds used to attract fans with their team background!

Supporting a team and liking individual players from other teams weren't necessarily conflicting things.

Especially like Ye Qiu, or Huang Shaotian, or Han Wenqing, Zhou Zekai, these people were all peak representatives of a certain class. Battle God, Sword Saint, Boxing Emperor, Gun King… How could the players who controlled these characters not become the mass idols of the players of that class?

"Uh... First, the first one is you... Is it inconvenient for you, the guild leader, to come over?" Ye Xiu had already started to take action.

"..." Lan He was speechless.

"Then there's... Qian Cheng, oh, I seem to recognize this person. Isn't he from your guild?" Ye Xiu was even giving Lan He a live broadcast.

Lan He was speechless. He had no idea what he should do... Should he say hello to Qian Cheng first? But how should he say hello? Could he tell Qian Cheng that when Lord Grim tells you that he's Ye Qiu, don't believe him, he's a big liar?

The problem was... that this was actually the truth. If he really said that, then he would be the big liar... But speaking of which, what way could that guy prove his identity to make Qian Cheng believe him?

Lan He was still struggling when suddenly another message flashed. He thought it was Lord Grim wanting to say something again, but when he opened it, it was actually Qian Cheng.

"Lord Grim said he's Ye Qiu!! Do you know?" Qian Cheng's message came.

"Ah?" Lan He was stunned. "Why are you asking that?"

"That person added me as a friend and said he's Ye Qiu, and said that if you don't believe him, ask you," Qian Cheng said.

"FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lan He's hand trembled again. He didn't expect that in the end, he would actually be used as a witness. What was he supposed to say? What was he supposed to say?

"What's wrong?" Qian Cheng replied quickly. Lan He was so excited just now that he had sent "FUCK" to Qian Cheng.

"Lord Grim is really not a good person!" Lan He replied.

"Hmm? He's impersonating Ye Qiu?" Qian Cheng asked.

After a period of intense ideological struggle, Lan He finally replied decisively: "Yes, he is a big liar!"

"Uh... Guild Leader, you're not saying this because you're afraid that I'll run off to the Happy guild because of this, are you?" Qian Cheng suddenly replied.

"How could that be!" Lan He replied very quickly, but then he paused, because he realized that what Qian Cheng said was actually not wrong.

"Because he said... said that you definitely wouldn't help him verify his identity, because you're afraid that I'll go and join him..." Qian Cheng said.

"This person is too despicable!!!" Lan He was completely going crazy.

"Guild Leader... is he really Ye Qiu or not?" Qian Cheng asked.

"What about you... if he is, will you go?" Lan He asked.

After a long period of silence, finally, a message flashed. Lan He quickly opened it and saw Qian Cheng's reply: go.

"He isn't!" Lan He replied decisively.

"Guild Leader..." Qian Cheng had already seen through the trick.

"Alright... he is Ye Qiu, he really is... many people already know. If you want to go, then go!" Lan He replied with a sigh.

"Thank you, Guild Leader!" Qian Cheng replied with a smiling face. In the next second, a notification appeared in the Blue Brook Guild channel: Player Qian Cheng has left the guild.
