Hu Die Lan
Chapter 359 Thanks for the Help
It was rare for Chun Yi Lao to make a sound, but the bigwigs in the discussion group were all possessed by his spirit at this moment, and they all fell silent.
The discussion group was quiet, but the spies on Happy Guild's side were extremely embarrassed.
Ye Xiu had already left his words here, but they had no idea how to deal with it next. They asked their superiors for instructions, but they still couldn't come up with a decision. The team hadn't been disbanded. Lord Grim, Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain, and even Steamed Bun Invasion were still in it. Although they didn't know what these people were doing, the spies all felt like they had been stripped bare and put on display.
It was glorious to hear a spy say "I am a spy" but it was embarrassing and uneasy to be pointed out by someone else.
Lord Grim's words just hadn't been said clearly, but everyone understood the meaning between the lines. They were completely suspected, but the person hadn't forced them to leave, which naturally meant he was unafraid. An exposed spy was of no value to their own side, but instead gave the opponent an opportunity to use counter-espionage. This was simple logic, and everyone wondered why their leaders were so slow to come up with a plan. But where did they know that the major guilds in the discussion group were already fighting among themselves?
Blue River was an exception. As the guild leader of Blue Brook Guild in the tenth server, he was also in the discussion group. Feeling both sides of the situation at the same time, he suddenly felt very tired.
He had been in the guild long enough to see the careful defense between competing guilds, even during cooperation. As a core leader, he had always done the same. But after arriving in the tenth server, the major guilds had been suppressed by Lord Grim, and even at this time, the major guilds hadn't forgotten to fight internally. Even the minor matter of two or three wild accounts was being calculated, making Blue River feel deeply powerless.
"I'll stay." Blue River suddenly typed these two words in the discussion group.
Everyone was stunned.
What did this mean? Everyone was somewhat confused. Could it be that the guild leader of Blue Brook Guild was personally acting as a spy there? Everyone was still wondering about this.
Even Blue River himself was somewhat at a loss at this moment. He himself didn't quite understand the meaning of "I'll stay" that he had suddenly typed.
The private chat window of QQ was immediately popped open. Blue River clicked it open and saw it was the guild leader, Chun Yi Lao, who was still concise: a big question mark.
"So tired." Blue River's answer was also very brief.
There was no reply from the other side for a long time, and the discussion group remained silent. The spies mixed into Happy Guild continued to feel awkward.
This stalemate lasted for a while, when Blue River suddenly saw a system message flash in the guild. Someone had automatically quit Happy Guild, which was naturally one of their spies.
One, two, three…
Members were leaving one after another, but Blue River didn't move. Then he received a message from Chun Yi Lao: "What do you mean by staying?"
It was rare for Chun Yi Lao to say so many words in a message. Normally, Blue River would definitely take a screenshot and find his friends in the guild to complain about it. But at this moment, he really didn't have the mood. After a slight hesitation, he just replied, "Let's wait and see."
Let's wait and see!
After sending it, Blue River suddenly felt that these words were very beautiful. He had never been able to clearly express his feelings at this moment, but these four words seemed to cut into his heart. That's what he wanted: to not have to think about anything, and simply let things take their course.
Blue River waited for a while, but didn't receive a reply from Chun Yi Lao. The members on their team eventually all quit, even including the two wild accounts that had mixed in with Blue Brook Guild and Blue River. These two were supposed to be contacted by Blue River, the guild leader, but he didn't know where they had received instructions from. They greeted Blue River and then quit.
The successive departures of members caused quite a stir in Happy Guild. After the players quickly discovered that this group of people who had quit were all high-level players who had just fought the Guardian Deity, they were all very puzzled and expressed their doubts in the guild channel.
"Nothing!" Ye Xiu said with a smiling expression.
"These are all friends who temporarily joined to help us fight the Guardian Deity," Ye Xiu explained to the guild players.
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly understood.
"Guild Leader is so amazing, knowing so many high-level players!" Some members had already begun to seize the opportunity to curry favor with the Guild Leader. Undoubtedly, in their eyes, these players around level 36 were considered high-level, and being able to know so many high-level players was something many people were proud of.
"Tch, what's so great about that? The Guild Leader's level is much higher than theirs." Someone said disdainfully, taking a different angle to flatter Ye Xiu.
The guild was harmonious, and the high-level characters all quit the guild without causing any disturbance. But one person was very puzzled and said, "What? I'm not..."
The 20-man team now only had six people left. Besides Ye Xiu and his four, one was Blue River, and the other was this brother who was wondering what was going on.
Blue River was naturally very clear, because one of these people was not a spy sent by any guild. He was naturally confused by Lord Grim's suggestive words before, and even more confused by Lord Grim's cover-up of the spy incident at this time.
Learning his tone, pretending to be like him?
Blue River had such a thought flash through his mind, and then realized that this seemed to be the action plan that Jiang You of Tyrannical Ambition had proposed before, which was regarded as superfluous by others. How did he unknowingly embark on this path?
Blue River wanted to let things happen naturally, but he found that when it came to the point, he still had to use his brain. Take now, for example, not saying a word was very unlike him! Those who didn't know the situation should be wondering like this brother. But if he learned to say something like him, it would be pretending again. Blue River was really too lazy to do these things at this time.
Screw it! Blue River finally didn't care, didn't say a word, and didn't talk too much. Holding the account in his hand, he quickly added the natural points given by the level 1 attribute Guardian Deity of the level 5 guild, then quit the team and went to level up.
At this time, he himself didn't know what he was doing. Since he was no longer in the mood to be a spy, what was he doing mixed in with Happy Guild with this wild account? He only knew that he didn't want to touch Blue River's account at this time, the account that represented his identity in Blue Brook Guild.
"Oh, there are still two people left. These two aren't sent by other guilds?" At this time, Chen Guo, who was beside Ye Xiu, asked after watching them fight the Guardian Deity, seeing Ye Xiu's words to these guys, and seeing all the high-level characters quit one after another, but these two were still left.
"How would I know? I'm not a god," Ye Xiu said.
"This one looks a bit like it, this one quit the team without saying a word, where did they go? What do they want to do?" Chen Guo commented, pointing to the names of the two characters.
Ye Xiu just shook his head.
"But you're really shameless enough to use the spy sent by others to fight the Guardian Deity," Chen Guo said.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ye Xiu said while using the mouse to swipe through some names in the friend bar.
"Who are these people?" Chen Guo asked.
"The guild leaders of guilds like Herb Garden, Tyrannical Ambition, and Blue Brook Guild in the tenth server," Ye Xiu introduced to Chen Guo. Chen Guo knew the situation of these guilds in the Heavenly Domain like the back of her hand, but she had never mixed in the tenth server, so she didn't know anything about it.
"But even without these people, your way of fighting wouldn't make a difference," Chen Guo said.
"How could it be? Didn't you notice my state when I came out of the Guardian Deity dungeon?" Ye Xiu said.
"Huh?"
"I'm almost out of mana!" Ye Xiu said.
"Ah?" Chen Guo seemed to understand something.
"If it weren't for these high-level characters, this way of fighting wouldn't be possible. My mana isn't enough to control the field until the Guardian Deity's life is exhausted," Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo completely understood. This way of fighting seemed to have extremely precise control over aggro, and others just had to output like fools, but that was just on a technical level. If the output data couldn't meet the requirements and the battle time was prolonged, the two characters controlling aggro would not be able to continue because their endurance had reached its limit.
Level 30-something and level 35+ characters were naturally not on the same level in terms of output. Especially after gathering so many people, the difference was even greater.
"Then what would you do if you didn't have these people?" Chen Guo asked.
"Uh… then let's wait until we level up again before fighting," Ye Xiu said.
"You mean, thanks to these spies, we were able to pass this level's Guardian Deity?" Chen Guo said.
"About right!" Ye Xiu nodded.
"Although I feel even more shameless, this feeling… is surprisingly good! I wonder if there are any people from Excellent Dynasty in there?" Chen Guo said.
"Why don't you go ask across the street?" Ye Xiu said.
"I really want to," Chen Guo said honestly.
"Haha, forget it, just express our gratitude casually." Ye Xiu said, and clicked on a few names in the friend bar, sending messages of gratitude. The sincerity of his words allowed Chen Guo to completely imagine how the boss-level figures on the other side would be in tears when they received the messages.
"Your sister!"
As Chen Guo expected, guild leaders such as Night Tide, Car Front Zi, and Lonely Drink were all freaking out when they received the message. The spies they had painstakingly sent had become volunteer workers. Moreover, the other party solemnly didn't mention anything about spies, and really treated these people as helpers sent by the major guilds out of kindness. The wording was such that a person who didn't know the situation couldn't find any fault with it. Only the major guilds, with their ulterior motives, felt more aggrieved the more they had ghosts in their hearts when they received this message of thanks.
"Lord Grim!!"
That night, players in several other places also fiercely muttered this name. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log in for more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
