"My god, are there this many people?"
After a player erged from the Teleportation Array of Vermilion Bird City, they couldn’t help but exclaim at the sight of a massive crowd ahead:
"I guess you’d only see a scene like this back during the open beta test."
Just then, Qingyi Zhange ca over and said:
"This way, Xiao He."
These two were the teammates who, along with stable as a mountain, had fought together in the Newbie Village to get the Goblin Task Scroll.
Originally, the two had planned to participate in the task together, but after Lin Yi promised a generous reward, they chose to withdraw from the task.
This allowed enough space for Lin Yi to team up with Tian Ci and others.
Ever since then, although Xiao He never joined the Qingyi Pavilion, he beca an inseparable friend with Qingyi Zhange.
Whenever the guild didn’t have any events, Qingyi Zhange would hang out with Xiao He.
Of course, the two were often in touch with stable as a mountain, but as stable as a mountain was always with Tian Ci and others, the opportunities for the three to be together were quite rare.
Even so, the two greatly admired stable as a mountain.
They even boasted to their friends, "The top Shield Warrior of the Creation rcenary Corps is my buddy."
For these two friends, stable as a mountain also felt a deep sense of gratitude and recognition in his heart.
After all, when he first started out in the ga, it was under their careful guidance that he learned and mastered everything bit by bit.
However, ever since joining the rcenary Corps, he mostly participated in activities or leveled up with everyone.
So the ti the three of them spent together wasn’t much, but their initial friendship always remained.
After reuniting with Qingyi Zhange, Xiao He couldn’t help but exclaim:
"So many people ca for this event."
You should know that usually Vermilion Bird City is as deserted as Ghost City!
Now it’s lively, just like a festival, teeming with people.
Qingyi Zhange quickly led Xiao He towards the event ambassador, introducing as they walked:
"This ti, everyone’s gone crazy!"
Following behind Qingyi Zhange, Xiao He couldn’t help but ask:
"With just one key, why are all these level-ten players joining the fun? Why did so many people co? Do they think even if they snatch it, they have the strength to keep it?"
Qingyi Zhange chuckled wryly:
"You don’t understand."
They squeezed past the crowd, and all the while, players kept arriving, donning Disguiser Masks, almost identical in appearance, riding white horses, heading toward the outskirts of the city.
Qingyi Zhange said at the front:
"These folks are either here for the excitent or, caught up in the atmosphere of a rare event that involves everyone, they want to join in."
"Or they’re here to take advantage; you know, although the death penalty is reduced by 80%, the chance of dropping equipnt hasn’t decreased."
"Now, with the elites and presidents of the top ten guilds participating, you can imagine how much a dropped piece of their equipnt is worth!"
Xiao He was stunned:
"Wow, each piece is worth over ten thousand, isn’t it?"
Qingyi Zhange added:
"What if it’s not just one piece?"
"It’s said that players from all guilds have joined in, with elites numbering no less than a hundred thousand. Imagine that."
Xiao He’s eyes lit up:
"Seems like I’ve been thinking too simply."
Qingyi Zhange nodded in agreent:
"And one more thing: for the monopolizing of boss fights by certain top guilds, solo players and smaller guilds have long been discontent."
"Yet typically, even if they are unhappy, there’s nothing they can do about it."
"Now there’s a ’legitimate’ opportunity for payback against those big guilds. Do you think people would miss this chance?"
Xiao He:
"So you an the players participating in the event are fake; their true intent is to exploit the chaos and retaliate against the top guilds?"
Qingyi Zhange:
"Pretty much, but if there’s a chance to steal the key and unlock the treasury, I don’t think anyone would refuse."
Just then, a person with an ordinary appearance bumped into Qingyi Zhange, angrily exclaiming:
"Watch where you’re going, dude."
Qingyi Zhange quickly apologized:
"Sorry, sorry."
Xiao He was puzzled:
"He clearly bumped into us, why are you apologizing to him!"
Qingyi Zhange shook his head and said:
"Can you tell who he is?"
Now, the players walking past Xiao He and others were all wearing Disguiser Masks, unified in appearance and equipnt, even without nas.
Just from their appearance, you really couldn’t tell who they were.
Xiao He was displeased:
"Who cares who he is."
Qingyi Zhange chuckled softly:
"These people are crazy right now; they won’t be reasoning with you."
As they spoke, the two had already reached the event ambassador and quickly signed up to participate in the task.
Then Xiao He asked Qingyi Zhange:
"What do we do next?"
Qingyi Zhange looked at Xiao He and said honestly:
"Our Qingyi Pavilion has tead up with the top few guilds in the district and Feng Hua’s rcenary Corps to protect Shengshi. What about you?"
While the two were like brothers, Qingyi Zhange didn’t want to force Xiao He to make the sa choice as he did.
Xiao He couldn’t help but ask:
"So what’s your task now?"
Qingyi Zhange looked at Xiao He and explained truthfully:
"Since I logged in late, my task is to infiltrate solo-player teams and cause as much chaos as possible."
This was supposed to be guild confidential, not to be revealed outside.
But Qingyi Zhange didn’t want to lie to Xiao He.
Moreover, this would likely not remain a secret for long.
Xiao He smiled slightly:
"Regardless of our relationship, I can’t possibly stand against my Feng Hua boss."
"Otherwise, where would that leave , you, and Uncle Stable?"
Qingyi Zhange laughed heartily, patting Xiao He on the shoulder:
"Good brother!"
Xiao He chuckled:
"So, tell , what’s the plan?"
"If possible, target high-level fighters or commanders; if not,...."
Qingyi Zhange took out a Disguiser Mask and put it on in front of Xiao He.
Qingyi Zhange, previously clad in a Magic Robe, suddenly appeared in Ordinary Leather Armor.
The na above his head also vanished.
A white horse appeared next to Qingyi Zhange.
Qingyi Zhange mounted the horse, then said to Xiao He:
"Those are foes, not friends; kill on sight!"
As he spoke, Qingyi Zhange tugged the reins:
"The battle has already begun ahead, my brother, I’m heading off first. Let’s et again once it’s over."
"Hyah!"
Then Qingyi Zhange rode the white horse, blending into the crowd on the avenue, heading to Rebel Canyon.
Xiao He glanced at the Disguiser Mask in his hand, thinking about how from this mont, he and Feng Hua the great were on the sa team.
Just the thought of it made his blood boil.
Although he couldn’t beco a mber of Feng Hua’s rcenary Corps, fighting alongside Feng Hua on the sa side was sothing to be proud of.
"Feng Hua the great, here I co!"
