Chapter 36 – Lilian (End)
The banshee named someone once every 10 seconds. Thanks to the cooperation between Li Cangyu and LIng Xuefeng, they broke the Charm skill before two people were affected. The most difficult third stage was completely crushed!
Bai Xuan couldn"t help feeling some excitement. Captain Ling and Cat G.o.d, it wasn"t unusual for them to cooperate in the online game but this was the first time since the two of them entered the professional league.
They didn"t need to communicate with each other to know their thoughts. This strange connection was still unchanged after a few years.
Bai Xuan was very happy for Li Cangyu. Many people in the Miracle League might"ve forgotten about Cat G.o.d but at least Ling Xuefeng still remembered. The presence of this enemy and friend was actually a very warm thing for Li Cangyu.
Wouldn"t Cat G.o.d be very happy to be able to fight alongside Ling Xuefeng, even if it was just an instance?
He looked back and sure enough, this always serious man was currently very relaxed. There was a slight smile on his lips, like hitting the boss was fun for him.
***
The third stage was successfully cleared. Suddenly, the witch"s sinister laughter filled their ears, showing that the final stage of the boss battle was approaching!
The fourth stage was an extremely wide range group attack skill that tested the level of everyone"s movement abilities.
Black holes would randomly appear on the ground and anyone who stepped on it would be instantly killed. Therefore, everyone must attack the boss while dodging the black holes. Bai Xuan also had to hide while adding blood. This stage was also a test of the main T since Lilian would be moving while doing this big move. The main T must keep up with her and pull her, not letting her attack anyone else.
A general team would certainly be a mess of confusion when it came to the fourth stage.
However, this team was full of professional G.o.ds and this level of movement was a piece of cake for them.
Li Cangyu wasn"t worried about his other teammates but he wasn"t sure about the white magician who had just joined the team.
To his surprise, the white magician could barely keep up with Lilian"s rhythm. His attack data wasn"t as good as the other three outputs but he made no mistakes during the entire process.
It wasn"t easy to survive successfully in such a chaotic situation. Li Cangyu couldn"t help feeling admiration.
How could an average person be ranked at the forefront of the district rankings? This person didn"t have a guild yet and could be seen as a rare free master.
Wasn"t it better to pull him into the guild?
Li Cangyu had always been energetic and resolute. Once he thought about it, he immediately sent an invitation to the other person.
[Love to Eat Braised Fish has invited you to join the Food Squad Guild. Do you agree?]
This prompt appeared on the screen.
The Food Squad obviously wasn"t the guild of a large team. It should be a small family and friends group without too many guild grievances. Besides, today they played the instance together and Awakened Magician found that the standards of these people were super high. He wouldn"t have to worry about finding a fixed team to level.
The man in front of the computer thought about it and pressed the b.u.t.ton to accept.
Lilian only had 1% blood left and was on the verge of death. At this time, a prompt appeared on the team channel: [Popular Land Under Heaven has withdrawn from the team.]
The confused Gu Siming wondered, "Why did he leave the team?"
Lilian unleashed angry attacks but it had no effect on the team. Li Cangyu didn"t pay attention to Ling Xuefeng"s withdrawal and kept throwing skills at the boss. Lilian finally screamed and collapsed to the ground.
A shining announcement in gold characters immediately flashed on the district.
[Congratulations, the Food Squad Guild has killed Demon Forest"s hidden boss, Witch Lilian!]
All players were shocked?
The Food Squad? What was this messy name? They actually had the ability to kill the hidden boss of a level 45 instance? Lilian was notorious for being difficult to beat in the early stages. She was elected as part of the top 10 for most abnormal bosses for many years!
Li Cangyu saw this announcement and quickly realized. If the team that killed the hidden boss were all from the same guild, the system would release a district wide announcement in golden characters. It was equivalent to free advertising for the guild, which was why many big guilds like to form teams to kill the hidden bosses.
Unfortunately, hidden bosses weren"t that easy to meet.
He was obviously lucky today. The white magician who joined the team accepted the guild invitation at the last minute. Then Ling Xuefeng helped out and saw that all remaining five members of the team were part of the Food Squad. He voluntarily withdrew in order to give the Food Squad the free ultrluxurious advertis.e.m.e.nt.
Li Cangyu hadn"t expected Ling Xuefeng to be so careful and couldn"t help sending him a private message: [Thank you.]
Ling Xuefeng sent back: [There is no need for thanks.]
Li Cangyu naturally had to seize this rare opportunity and immediately wrote on the world channel: [The Food Squad will be aiming for the level 50 guild challenge instance. Any friends level 40 or above who want to join, please don"t hesitate to apply!]
Bai Xuan opened the guild panel and was suddenly scared. The full server golden characters advertis.e.m.e.nt was really powerful. In the blink of an eye, the application list for Food Squad was filled with hundreds of people!
Li Cangyu set up Bai Xuan as vice president and said, "Help me accept them."
Bai Xuan asked, "All of them?"
Li Cangyu didn"t hesitate. "Everyone!"
Of course he knew that there would be newcomers, pure foodies, people who wanted to look at the scenery and also undercovers from other guilds.
However, he wanted to make the guild bigger.
His Food Squad might not have the big names of Time, Wind Colour or Flying Feathers but with him, this guild would certainly develop into a large-scale guild in this district and attract masters.
The guild would become the most powerful reserve army to help him return to the Miracle League.
Li Cangyu smiled confidently when he thought of this and quickly accepted the application of hundreds of players with the fastest hand speed.
[The Food Squad Guild is full and people are temporarily unable to apply for membership. The president and all members, please work hard to improve the construction of the guild and upgrade the size of the guild.]
The current guild was a level one guild which could accommodate up to 120 people. The wide server advertis.e.m.e.nt filled up this number in an instant, so that they could only work to raise the level of the guild. A level two guild could have 300 people, a level three guild 500 people, a level four guild 1,000 people and a level five guild had no limit.
Li Cangyu wasn"t anxious. This was just the beginning and he would slowly climb up.
As the president, it was necessary for him to speak in the guild channel. [Everyone, welcome to the guild. Currently, the majority of people are around level 40. Let"s team up and do instances to level up. At level 50, I will take you to the guild challenge instance!]
The guild channel became lively after the president spoke.
They teamed up to play instances and added friends, making a very active atmosphere.
Ling Xuefeng looked at this scene and his mood couldn"t help improving.
He retreating from the team at the last moment because he wanted to help LI Cangyu. He liked to see this man"s radiant appearance that was full of confidence.
The appearance of the Food Squad would definitely have an impact on other guilds in the new district. Wind Colour knew Braised Fish"s true ident.i.ty and definitely wouldn"t clash with Li Cangyu. As for other guilds… Ling Xuefeng couldn"t control them. If those people were willing to hit Cat G.o.d, Cat G.o.d would teach them politely. Ling Xuefeng wanted to watch the good show.
[Cat, I have to go now.] Ling Xuefeng sent a message to Li Cangyu.
Ling Xuefeng"s courage was so big to actually call "Cat G.o.d" by the simple Cat.
It was just like Li Cangyu called him Xuefeng instead of Captain Ling.
These were their names for each other from a young age. When Li Cangyu"s ID was Old Cat, Ling Xuefeng thought he was a 30 year old uncle. Once he knew that Li Cangyu was a 17 year old boy, Ling Xuefeng called him Cat instead of Old Cat.
These names seemed to create a special sense of intimacy. Therefore, Ling Xuefeng liked calling him this when chatting privately.
Li Cangyu was long used to it and immediately replied: [Okay, go if you are busy.]
Ling Xuefeng exited the Popular Land Under Heaven account and then opened QQ to sent a message to the president. In any case, Popular Land Under Heaven was the account of Wind Colour"s guild president. There were many things to be dealt with in the guild and Ling Xuefeng couldn"t keep logging into it.
The president saw the message from the office he had returned to and couldn"t help wiping the sweat on his forehead. He logged into his account and saw that his character had already reached level 46. Were Captain Ling and Cat G.o.d bulldozing through the instances?
At this moment, someone spoke in the guild"s management chat: [President! Love to Eat Braised Fish has just built a new guild and it is already full. Our reaction time was slow and we weren"t able to send an undercover in time. Do you want to prepare one and wait for their next guild upgrade to enter?]
Popular Land Under Heaven smiled with embarra.s.sment and typed: [No need. If you see Love to Eat Braised Fish later, try to go around him.]
[Go around? Why? He isn"t a boss!] People who didn"t know the circ.u.mstances were talking nonsense.
He wasn"t a boss?
Even their Captain Ling respected him yet this small newcomer dared to appear before him?
In addition, it was unnecessary for Wind Colour to send an undercover because…
In the Food Squad, Captain Ling was personally paying attention to Cat G.o.d"s movements? How could their undercover standards compare to Captain Ling?
***
Once he exited Popular Land Under Heaven, Ling Xuefeng calmly changed to the next computer and opened the Steamed Ba.s.s account.
The guild channel was still lively as they formed teams for instances. Most of the players were level 40, which was the mainstream level for the Moonlight Forest district. The side account that the president had given him was level 42.
Ling Xuefeng right clicked on a team playing an instance as he planned to raise the level of his side account.
The biggest undercover in the history of Miracle, Ling Xuefeng quietly mixed in with the members of Food Squad and entered the Frost Temple instance with his black magician character.

Chapter 37 – Guild Alliance (1)
Ling Xuefeng went offline and Li Cangyu continue to play the instance with the other voice. Then a man"s hearty voice was suddenly heard from the voice channel. "Hey, what is your origin? How are you all so powerful?"
The voice was from the north. He spoke in the standard Mandarin and had the typical bold and unrestrained nature of people from that area.
Gu Siming wondered, "Uncle, you built a long-legged girl in the game. Why is your real voice so rough?"
The man was surprised when he heard it. There was actually a little boy in the team with a very soft voice.
“Kid, how old are you" The man asked.
Gu Siming immediately retorted, "I"m not a child!"
The man asked, "Are you an adult?"
"I"m an adult!"
Was 16 years old actually an adult? Gu Siming seriously thought about it.
The man continued to ask, "What are the origins of these great G.o.ds? Could it be the side account of a professional player?"
Bai Xuan explained. "We are a few friends who know each other in reality and went to play in the new district."
The man laughed as soon as he heard this, "How can the level of friends be so high? Well, I won"t ask since you want to keep it a secret. It isn"t bad to have such a sharp team. Can I make a fixed instance team with you?"
Li Cangyu had been reading the chat information in the guild channel. He heard this and spoke up, "Yes. However, I am currently abroad with the healer and the swordsman. Whenever the three of us aren"t online, you can join a guild team with Xiao Gu."
Gu Siming didn"t want to team up with this uncle who kept laughing at him. He couldn"t help sending a private message to the captain: [I don"t want to play instances with him. I will do missions to level.]
Li Cangyu replied: [Your online time is more consistent with the white magician. When we aren"t present, you will team up with him to play the instance. By the way, PK with him and show me the recorded video.]
Gu Siming was surprised for a moment before reacting to the captain"s meaning. [Captain, do you think this person"s level is strong? You are going to pull him into the team?]
[The fact that he can reach the forefront of the district shows that he isn"t simple. During the chaotic situation in the Lilian boss fight, he was very calm and made no mistakes. This is rare so I want to understand his true level and history.]
Since it was the captain"s orders, Gu Siming immediately said: [I know. Captain, I will record the whole time!]
***
Another instance was cleared. 12:30 arrived in New York while it was early morning domestically. Li Cangyu said in the voice channel, "Awakened, Xiao Gu, do you want to go offline to sleep?"
Awakened Magician immediately replied, "I"m going to sleep! I have to work tomorrow so see you!"
He said this and quickly disappeared. Gu Siming also reluctantly turned off his computer.
Once he left, Bai Xuan asked, "Can this person be trained?"
Li Cangyu said, "Since he is an office worker, it might not be easy to persuade him if he isn"t interested in playing the professional league. I will observe him first."
"Okay." Bai Xuan nodded.
"By the way Cat G.o.d." Xie Shurong suddenly spoke. "Miracle"s World Carnival is set for this October. Do you know about this matter?"
"Oh, Ling Xuefeng told me today that the host city is New York." Li Cangyu had doubts. "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"New York is the home city of the ICE Club so all members of the team are going to watch. The manager was looking for an organizer to buy tickets today. Do you want me to buy you tickets as well? Do you want to see it?"
"Of course." Li Cangyu nodded. "The carnival might be for entertainment but it will be good to see the masters of each country."
"This type of big scene can"t be missed." Bai Xuan spoke with appreciation, "A"Shu, haven"t you been very conscious lately? Are you always thinking about me and the captain?"
“Of course, you are my people!" Xie Shurong replied.
Bai Xuan didn"t take his words seriously and smiled. "The tickets are for the captain. Next time you come over for dinner, you have to keeping bringing me a meal payment. Otherwise, I will sprinkle a lot of salt on your favourite braised pork ribs."
"…" Xie Shurong didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
He thought about using the tickets as a meal payment but this was seen through by Vice-Captain Bai. It seemed that he would have to run around the shops at noon and buy anything angel priest related.
***
There were only three people left after Xiao Gu and Awakened Magician went offline. Thus, Li Cangyu said, "We will go and do missions."
Bai Xuan returned to the Divine World, Xie Shurong returned to the human cities and Li Cangyu returned to Moonlight Forest.
He left Moonlight Forest after level 10 and never returned. However, he always felt relaxed when returning to an elf location. There were many elves holding bows or traps. It was rare for someone to be holding a summoning staff like Li Cangyu.
People once laughed at him when he chose the summoning staff but now they admired him.
[Love to Eat Braised Fish? It is the master who killed the level 45 Lilian!] A player with an ID called Little Hunter spoke on the area channel.
[h.e.l.lo president of the Food Squad!] He was followed by a little archer.
[President, do you have a place in the guild? We want to join but the system says that it"s full!] A small elf said.
The three people took the initiative to send a friend"s application. Li Cangyu accepted and replied: [The guild is temporarily full. I will add you will the level is upgraded.]
They didn"t expect the president to speak such good words. The three people immediately sent a row of thank yous.
Li Cangyu walked a few steps and reached the NPC giving the main task. Yet he actually saw a familiar ID: Luo Xiaoluo.
Luo Xiaoluo was obviously very excited to see him. He typed in the area channel: [Brother Fish, what a coincidence!]
[Yes, let"s do the task together.] Li Cangyu said while sending a team invitation.
The Time Guild had a fixed instance team and Luo Xiaoluo was still playing the Frost Temple instance. For him to suddenly appear in elf territory, it was estimated that the Time Guild sent him here to wait for Li Cangyu.
Li Cangyu didn"t expose him and headed off to the mission location together.
Luo Xiaoluo followed Love to Eat Braised Fish and finally suppressed his embarra.s.sment after a long time. The president had sent him to do this difficult task because of his extremely thick skin. His face had been trained to be as thick as a wall.
However, he would do it for Vice-Captain Cheng"s special signature…
Luo Xiaoluo gritted his teeth and sent a smiley face on the team channel. [Brother Fish, based on the t.i.tle above your head, you have already made a guild?]
[Yes, it is the Food Squad.]
Luo Xiaoluo"s brains came up with a come. [The Food Squad, this guild name is very cute. Hahaha.]
Li Cangyu was amused by this hollow laugh.
Luo Xiaoluo felt very bitter. It was hard for him to always be sent by the president on these missions.
Compared to pa.s.sersby fans, deathly loyal fans like Luo Xiaoluo were actually very rare. He just like Cheng Wei and Li Cangyu didn"t hate this.
Luo Xiaoluo coming to Li Cangyu definitely had something to do with the guild alliance.
This week people would be able to reach level 50 and the guild challenge instance was very hard. The difficult of the final boss didn"t lose to Lilian and more people meant it would certainly be chaotic. The level of players in newly established guilds wasn"t equal and it was good to have helpers.
[Our guild has only just been set up.] Li Cangyu thought before typing. [Go back and ask your president. If he doesn"t mind, why don"t we ally?]
"…" Luo Xiaoluo almost fell off his chair.
He was thinking hard about how to open up this topic when the other person actually brought it up. It was really a pie falling from the sky!
Luo Xiaoluo didn"t have to think as he replied: [Good! That"s great! Let"s ally!]
[Don"t you have to go back and ask your president?]
“…" The president was the one who sent him here! Luo Xiaoluo almost let this slip before changing his words: [I will go ask.]
The good news was brought to the president. The president excitedly sent a row of thumbs up. "You are awesome!"
Luo Xiaoluo smiled. "I want the vice-captain"s signed poster."
Time Machine said, "No problem, I will mail you a full set of the Time team"s signed posters."
Luo Xiaoluo almost jumped downstairs to run a lap.
He loved e-sports since he was a child but unfortunately couldn"t become an e-sports player due to his lacking hand speed. After graduating from high school, he went to university. He spend his time after school playing online games, watching the compet.i.tions and supporting his favourite team and players.
Luo Xiaoluo laughed loudly as he thought of receiving the signatures of the entire Time team.

Chapter 38 – Guild Alliance (2)
The president of the Time Guild, Time Machine soon released a message on the guild channel: [Everyone should"ve noticed that our Time Guild has formed an alliance with the Food Squad. The people in the Food Squad will be our own so make sure to help each other and level together. Don"t make trouble.]
Li Cangyu also posted a message in the guild channel: [We have formed an alliance with the Time Guild.]
The guild channels on both sides suddenly exploded.
On the Time side:
[The Food Squad? Based on the name, isn"t it a casual group? Are there any cute girls? I"m still single?]
[Why are we allied with this small guild?]
[Does the president want to take care of them?]
[An alliance is an alliance. It is nothing to take care of a small guild!]
Time Machine looked at these comments and could not help wiping the sweat of the forehead. This alliance wasn"t necessarily taking care of the other. Perhaps Love to Eat Braised Fish would be the one taking care of Time. Of course, he couldn"t clearly explain this feeling. He just instinctively knew that Love to Eat Braised Fish was a sly character, otherwise he wouldn"t have been able to repel the Wind Colour Guild three times.
On the Food Squad"s side:
[An alliance with Time? I"m in favour of it!]
[I am a Captain Tan fan here! Since we allied with the Time Guild, it should be easier to clear the guild challenge instance.]
[Is the president familiar with Time? Why didn"t he choose Flying Feathers or Wind Colour? The strength of these three are similar.]
[Cough, doesn"t Wind Colour have a hatred towards the president?]
[Don"t you know that we wiped out the Wind Colour"s elite team twice and Flying Feathers"s elite team once?]
[So great!]
The guild channel was very enthusiastic.
The super-big undercover Ling Xuefeng saw this scene. He was puzzled at first but quickly figured out Li Cangyu"s purpose.
Time Machine was the president of the Time Guild in the next district.
This person had been a.s.sisting in the guild since the last captain. He was a veteran and in terms of time, he had more seniority than Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei. Time Machine was a nice person. Unless they were fighting over the world boss, he had a peaceful method of handling things and didn"t have too many enemies in the game.
On the opposite side, the vice presidents of the Flying Feathers Guild were young and liked to fight. They often fought against other guilds in the online game.
The Wind Colour members actually knew Braised Fish"s true ident.i.ty. But in the eyes of outsiders, Love to Eat Braised Fish was already an enemy of Wind Colour and Li Cangyu couldn"t choose to form an alliance with them.
Allying with Flying Feathers was too much trouble since they would have to fight every day.
Other guilds such as Pure Cleansing, Ghost Spirits, Red Fox, etc. couldn"t match the three guilds in this area. The main elites of these guilds had fallen behind and it wasn"t conducive to increasing Li Cangyu"s reputation.
His decision to ally with the Time Guild might seem quick but it was the most sensible decision after a comprehensive evaluation.
Li Cangyu always acted safely and Ling Xuefeng wasn"t worried that he would be wronged. However, the people in his hands would probably be forced to tears.
Ling Xuefeng looked at the discussion on the team channel and found that it was almost time to quiet. Ling Xuefeng closed the account and went to sleep.
Since becoming captain of Wind Colour, he developed a good habit of sleeping on time. A healthy body and good mental state was necessary to keep professional players at their best, so he was very opposed to players staying up late.
He got up and was walking when he found Qin Mo staring seriously at the computer screen and carefully watching the PK video with Braised Fish.
The watchful teenager seemed to sense someone was behind him and minimized the window, opening to a web page in order to pretend he was looking through the forum.
Qin Mo looked back and saw his master watching with a deep gaze. He immediately turned red and whispered, "Master…"
Ling Xuefeng didn"t expose him and asked casually, "What are your arrangements for the one week holiday?"
Qin Mo replied seriously, "My parents are going to travel abroad and I want to stay at the club. Can I?"
"Yes." Ling Xuefeng continued, "In the second round of the regular season, you don"t have to play."
Qin Mo hung his head, looking like a remorseful child listening to his parent"s teachings. His master"s personality had always been like this. Qin Mo had made a big mistake in the arena and should be thrown to the bench.
Ling Xuefeng saw his lowered head and patted the young boy gently. He spoke softly, "I didn"t say it in front of the others players but you should know that your match with Tan s.h.i.tian made me very disappointed. You should sit on the bench for a month and think about how to act in the future."
“Yes…" Qin Mo nodded slightly, his face pale.
"The same mistake can"t be made twice. I hope you adjust your state and return to your normal level in the playoffs." Ling Xuefeng turned away after this sentence.
“…" Qin Mo was stunned.
Playoffs?
Master meant for him to play in the playoffs?
Master hadn"t lost faith in him. He was just giving Qin Mo time to calm down and adjust?
Qin Mo looked at his master"s tall back and was moved to tears.
This was Ling Xuefeng"s style. Even if the player made a big mistake, he wouldn"t completely block the person. He would make that person sit on the bench and then give the person a second opportunity.
Ling Xuefeng knew that the higher a person climbed, the harder the fall. However, he also knew that once the fallen person climbed up again, their minds would be stronger than before.
He hoped that after this setback, the 16 year old boy could truly recognize himself and develop a stable mentality, calmly experiencing success as an outstanding professional player.
He was young and there was a master helping, so he could make such mistakes.
However, one day he would grow up and his master couldn"t shelter him any longer. He must face all difficulties alone.
Therefore Qin Mo, you should really thank Cat G.o.d for waking you up in time.
***
The next morning, Ling Xuefeng logged into the Steamed Ba.s.s account and found that on the guild list, Love to Eat Braised Fish, Love to Eat Twice-cooked Pork and Blossoming Tree had risen to level 49, leaving many people far behind. This was obviously due to the time difference.
Ling Xuefeng wondered if Bai Xuan had gone to the United States with Li Cangyu. Then was this swordsman also abroad?
Fortunately, he played several rounds of Frost Temple last night and reached level 45. He could go to the Demon Forest area. Ling Xuefeng sent a private chat message to Li Cangyu: [President, do you have any room in your team for Demon Forest?]
Li Cangyu saw the ID called "Steamed Ba.s.s" on his private chat and couldn"t help feeling hungry. This was the dish he loved to eat the most but unfortunately, he hadn"t been able to eat it for a while.
[Love to Eat Braised Fish has invited you to join the team.]
Ling Xuefeng agreed and after entering the team, he saw Love to Eat Braised Fish, Love to Eat Twice-cooked Pork and Blossoming Tree. As the Name Suggests and Awakened Magician from yesterday"s Lilian raid weren"t online.
However, it didn"t take long for the two of them to join the team. It was obvious that they were in China and had just woken up.
Li Cangyu couldn"t help asking, [Awakened, don"t you have to go to work?]
Awakened Magician replied: [My work is playing games.]
Xiao Gu guessed: [You are an employee at an Internet cafe!]
Awakened Magician: [The child guessed wrong. I am the boss of a leveling studio.] He added a row of laughing expressions.
Everyone, “…”
Li Cangyu didn"t expect this person to have such an ident.i.ty.
There are many mature leveling studios in China which helped players level, find equipment, clear instances and get money. If the person"s abilities weren"t high, they wouldn"t be able to complete the task on time.
Li Cangyu asked: [Are you helping a customer level their account?]
Awakened Magician explained: [Yes, the customer gave me a lot of money to raise the account to full level in one month and to get a full equipment set.]
Gu Siming asked curiously: [How much money is it?]
Awakened Magician: [I won"t disclose trade secrets.] He added a row of laughing expressions.
"…" Gu Siming thought this uncle was annoying and ignored him.
Li Cangyu was also slightly disappointed. He thought that he had harvested a teammate who could develop but it was actually a leveling studio boss.
Professional levelers knew the shortcuts behind rapidly leveling in the game. Moreover, they made thousands of accounts with different races and cla.s.ses. The so-called "practice makes perfect" meant their leveling speed would definitely be better than an average player. This person"s high level wasn"t good if he was a professional leveler.
Li Cangyu thought up to here and typed on the team channel: [Do the instance first.]
Steamed Ba.s.s suddenly asked: [President, will you be cooperating with Time for Wednesday night"s guild challenge instance?]
[Yes, our guild won"t have 30 players who have reached level 50 by Wednesday so we will have to borrow people from Time.] Li Cangyu paused before asking, [Oh right, what is your fixed online time?]
[8 a.m. to midnight. I am on holidays currently so I have plenty of time.]
[Then make a fixed team with us to clear the Demon Forest instance. When there is a time difference, you will clear the main missions. It is best to reach level 50 before Wednesday.]
[Yes.] Ling Xuefeng typed short words.
He had just been thinking about how to talk to Li Cangyu and as a result, he managed to join the team as a fixed member.
***
At the same time, the Flying Feather Guild"s discussion group.
[Love to Eat Braised Fish has made a guild and allied with the Time Guild!]
The news was like setting off a bomb in a quiet lake, causing the discussion group to boil over.
Vice President Flying Feathers Ares immediately jumped forward: [Isn"t he taking himself too seriously? So what if he managed to find Time to be a patron? There are many big guilds in the area. Killing them is like stepping on an ant!]
[You can"t say that.] The main healer of the group, Flying Feathers Frost was calm in comparison. She a.n.a.lyzed it seriously: [The Time Guild has many masters but the limitation is that it is too large. For example, fans of Flying Feathers wouldn"t be willing to join them. Most neutral pa.s.sersby would prefer a casual group like the Food Squad.]
[Frost is correct.] Someone added. [This Love to Eat Braised Fish is very smart. The name Food Squad attracts pa.s.sersby and he doesn"t have a team behind him, which will attract more pa.s.sersby. The level one guild is full in an instant, meaning this guild"s momentum is very strong. By allying with Time, they don"t have to be worried about being killed by other guilds. This action wasn"t wrong.]
The discussion group was silent for a moment.
[What is the att.i.tude of other guilds?] Flying Feathers Frost asked. [What about Wind Colour?]
[Wind Colour"s elite team was killed twice. Yesterday, someone saw their president and Braised Fish fighting to a tie. Then Wind Colour suddenly quieted down. It is estimated that they are afraid to be hit and are hiding.] Another vice president, Flying Feathers Wushang spoke while rejoicing in their misfortune.
[Hiding?] Flying Feathers Frost couldn"t help frowning. [What is the temper of Captain Ling like? Do you think that Wind Colour"s president would be afraid of a random? I think there is something fishy about this matter.]
[Okay, I"ve already sent an undercover to the Food Squad so don"t worry.] The discussion group was getting heated up and it wasn"t good to quarrel in the morning. President Flying Feathers Liangshan finally appeared and typed: [At present, our guild has people over level 45 because swordsmen have advantages when leveling early on. Everyone will reach level 50 as soon as possible. We must win first place in the guild challenge instance!]
***
Time Machine got up early in the morning, logged into his account and found that Love to Eat Braised Fish was online and even reached level 49. Time Machine was happy and immediately sent a private message: [Brother Fish, shall we play together in the guild challenge instance on Wednesday night?]
[No problem.] Li Cangyu sent back. [How many people can you get to level 50 on your side?]
[Around 24.] Time Machine said.
Li Cangyu: [It is just right. I have six on my side.]
In fact, the Time Guild had more than 40 people who could rise to level 50 by Wednesday, not 24.
The big guilds had to think about the future when just starting out. A level 50 guild challenge instance required 30 people to clear. It was an important instance that raised fame so Time Machine already arranged 40 accounts that the elites had rushed to level.
He deliberately set aside the quota of one team for Love to Eat Braised Fish. It was obviously to give face and develop good feelings. After all, this was required in an allied relationship.
Li Cangyu certainly knew this and appreciated Time Machine"s actions. However, he still bluntly said: [I will take command.]
Time Machine almost sprayed out the tea in his mouth.
—Friend, did you have to make the "give an inch and he"ll want a mile" so obvious?
Li Cangyu asked: [President, don"t you want to take first place?]
Time Machine was stunned and honestly replied: [I want to take it but the swordsmen of Flying Feathers level up the fastest. Their average level was 55 in the old districts so they generally took first place.]
[This is the new district.] Li Cangyu declared: [We will take first place in the new district.]
"…" Time Machine was very uneasy about this person"s statement and felt that this guy was always bragging. However, they would only take second place if he personally directed the guild challenge instance. Why not let Braised Fish try his way?
Time Machine thought about it and no longer hesitated. [Okay, then you will take command.]
Li Cangyu continued: [Then let"s talk about splitting up the rewards. I have fewer people so I will take 30% and you will take 70%. How about it?]
Time Machine, "…"
How was this person so confident? He was already dividing the rewards before even getting first place.
