For a moment, I was completely speechless. Who would’ve thought that the waters in Floating Ice City were this deep? Also, I was really surprised to find four people from the Domination Clan in the top rankings. Just who were they? So far, it looked like they had the highest chance of reigning over Floating Ice City...
But of course, true pros didn’t show themselves until they were ready.
Gui Guzi himself was looking to be in high spirits. Despite sleeping for only three hours a day and being killed by me many times already, this crazy leveler was still clinging to the top rankings. He truly deserved the title of crazy leveler.
Of course, the ID that caught my attention the most was Wind Fantasy. Not only was Light Wanderer no ordinary Wanderer class, Wind Fantasy’s level was higher than everyone else’s. He was crème de la crème, and it was revealed in the official forums that Wind Fantasy was among the Top 3 even when compared to all the other players in the nine cities! This person deserved my full attention. He could very well be the biggest obstacle in the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls guild’s way to Floating Ice City’s domination!
I also noticed that the strongest of us four elders, Xu Yang, was at the 6th place of the Heavenly Ranking. It looked like he was grinding like crazy as well! Personally, my impression of the three elders of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls wasn’t very good. Half a year ago, on He Yi’s birthday, they had come to me about making a collaborative effort to send a birthday greeting to He Yi. We were supposed to send a syllable each—”ha”, “ppy”, “birth” and “day”—to her phone and complete the message “Happy Birthday”. However, they pulled one over me and didn’t send their message as promised. I was the only one who did my part and sent my message, “birth”.
You could imagine how He Yi looked at me the next day. I fulfilled the first requirement of the quest pretty quickly, but the drop rate of the quest item was surprisingly low. Despite grinding for almost 8 hours straight—it was morning already—I was still 3 Spiky Skeleton Fingers short.
By now, I had killed almost all the Spiky Skeletons there were in the graveyard, and standing at the center of the sea of wilted bones and holding a sword was none other than the Undead Lord I was tasked to kill, Cyan Rain!
I dared not attack it yet. I was now Level 20, and I had squeezed my way into the Top 100 again. I grinded for another half an hour and got 2 Spiky Skeleton Fingers in the process. Just one more, and I could drag my trainer over to help! I checked the time and noted that it was 10:30 am. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel the even the slightest hint of fatigue. In that case, let’s continue!
…...
At the bustling business district of Shanghai, inside a conference room on the top floor of an office building.
Eight elites were sitting on two sides of a table and talking about business. The young woman at the farthest edge of the table wore a coffee-colored uniform and a badge with the name “He Yi” on it.
“Eve? It’s your turn now. What is your opinion on this?” a middle-aged man urged.
However, He Yi’s attention was completely absorbed by the sky outside the window. Her beautiful eyes were tinged with sorrow.
“Eve, what do you think about the decline in performance this month?”
“Eve?”
