Chapter 38 (2/2)
Just Solar Swordsmanship’s effect of increasing Liu Ming’s Attacking Power by 40% was enough to beat Imperial Military Swordsmanship’s effects.
Imperial Military Swordsmanship (Green): Increases damage caused by sword attacks by 10%. Increases damage done by normal attacks by only 5%.
…
Imperial Military Swordsmanship only increased Liu Ming’s damage by 10%. That effect was no different from that of Solar Swordsmanship.
The last special effect was not bad, but it only increased Liu Ming’s damage by a small margin. It only increased the damage of his normal attacks by 5%, which did not affect the big picture much.
With such large differences between the two, those who understood their effects would naturally know which one to choose.
…
Just as Liu Ming was learning about his new Skills, the nation’s players were once again shocked by the news of Liu Ming’s successful promotion.
[System Announcement (National): Congratulations, Adventurer Floating Cloud, you have completed the Second-Promotion mission and become a Second-Promotion player. The system is hereby rewarding you with 2,000 Reputation points and 100 Gold Coins.]
…
[Little Handsome Ma (National): Damn it!]
[Horse Shop Resident Bigmouth Yuan (National): Damn it!]
[Domineering Brother (National): Damn it!]
…
[Happy Fatty (National): Enough, you guys… Okay, an uncultured person like me can only curse.]
…
Countless players suddenly began cursing in the national channel, making the various guilds’ senior executives discuss Liu Ming’s promotion in their own guild channels.
Unlike ordinary players, the major guilds’ senior executives had a clearer understanding of the difficulty of advancing in the future.
The major guilds’ senior executives had plenty of resources and advantages. They were far beyond Level 23 and level 24. The first thing that came to the minds of the various major guilds’ senior executives when they saw Liu Ming successfully going through his second promotion was ‘Why did Floating Cloud advance so quickly?’
However, most of them quickly suppressed that thought.
After all, they did not have a feud with Liu Ming. They had no potential conflicts of interest between each other either. Thus, they had no need to provoke a tricky enemy like Liu Ming because of their jealousy.
Under such circumstances, the discussions going on in the major guilds’ guild channels were mostly about how they could befriend Liu Ming or were analyzing the reasons for Liu Ming’s success.
However, a certain guild’s guild channel was going through a different situation. None of the senior executives dared to say anything in World Guild’s guild channel.
[World’s Best (Guild): Invincible, what did I tell you before I left!?!]
[World’s Best (Guild): Even if you can’t contact me in the game when a major event happens, just give me a call. Don’t make presumptuous decisions on your own.]
[World’s Best (Guild): You only decided to look for me when you had no means to deal with the situation. What have you been doing all these days?]
[Invincible (Guild): President, I didn’t want to ruin your mood and affect your state of mind lest something goes wrong when you’re performing a quest.]
[World’s Best (Guild): I can’t be bothered to say anything else now. On the account that you have put in plenty of effort all these years, I’ll forget about it this time.]
[World’s Best (Guild): If this happens again, you shall scram back to the Gold-Grabbing Team.]
Invincible immediately made his stand when he read the message.
[Invincible (Guild): President, don’t worry. I definitely won’t take matters into my own hands again.]
If he were to get banished to the Gold-Grabbing Team, his career would be ruined.
Although many ordinary players were proud of themselves for being in Gold-Grabbing Teams, in the eyes of the major guilds’ true elite players, members of Gold-Grabbing teams were just tools who didn’t qualify to be cannon fodder at all.
