Chapter 40 (1/2)

Although Liu Ming had already made some conjectures about the cause of the matter long ago based on his understanding of the trio and the conversation they had with World Guild’s players, Liu Ming still wanted to confirm it for himself.

After hearing Liu Ming’s words, Flying Above Grass immediately spoke with an awkward smile. “Here’s what happened. We were a little bored, so we decided to discuss World Guild’s senior executives. We were in the midst of an enjoyable conversation when those guys surrounded us. I really don’t know what’s wrong with their ears. They could hear us from so far away.”

At this moment, Floating On Water couldn’t help but say, “Um… Brother Flying Above Grass, I already reminded you to lower your volume when those guys were approaching.”

Flying Above Grass glared at Floating On Water when he heard those words.

Liu Ming smiled and said, “Enough, I’m not here to question anyone or hold anyone liable.”

At this moment, Flying Above Grass pretended to be serious as he said, “Big Shot Floating Cloud, let’s hurry and clear the dungeon. That dungeon has a time limit. Once the time is up, it will disappear.”

After Flying Above Grass finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the front to lead the way. However, at this moment, a sudden piece of news emerged in the national channel, which left Flying Above Grass with no choice but to stop in his tracks.

[World’s Best (National): Floating Cloud, I heard that you’re the best player. Do you dare to have a battle with me?]

After reading the message, Flying Above Grass immediately looked at Liu Ming and asked, “Boss Floating Cloud?”

Liu Ming smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Even if the other party really has any conspiracies, I won’t be afraid.” Immediately afterward, Liu Ming started replying to the message sent by World’s Best.

[Floating Cloud (National): You’re only Level 25 now, and your equipment is way more inferior to mine. How are you going to fight me?]

[Floating Cloud (National): Or do you plan to make me take on your entire guild by myself?]

[World’s Best (National): Don’t worry about this. We are only going to send a team of ten elites.]

[World’s Best (National): As long as you can defeat all of us, we will move out of Lotter City immediately and take a detour when we see you in the future.]

[World’s Best (National): Of course, I won’t make you leave Lotter City if you lose, but you have to take a detour when you see us players from World Guild in the future.]

[Floating Cloud (National): Okay then. Decide on a time and place. I’ll be there on time.]

[World’s Best (National): 8 p.m. tonight then. See you at the Wind Wolf Plains west of the city.]

…

After World’s Best and Liu Ming agreed on a time and place and exited the national channel, the various players—who were initially afraid of affecting the two of them and ruining a good show—immediately became active in the national channel.

[Little Pastry (National): Is World’s Best out of his mind? He’s actually planning to challenge Big Shot Floating Cloud with ten members.]

[Horse Shop Resident Bigmouth Yuan (National): I doubt it. The big shots of those guilds are really scheming. They definitely won’t fight a battle that they’re not confident of winning.]

[Destruction Knight (National): Bigmouth Yuan, I see you talking in the national channel every day. Does your family own a mine?]

[Unfettered Brother (National): The commenter above, don’t interrupt. We’re discussing a serious matter now. Brother Bigmouth, tell us your analysis.]

[All The Dogs Have The Good Names (National): Let me say it. World Guild found a bunch of Level 25 Purple Outfits from somewhere. I’m afraid that’s the only thing that gives them confidence.]

[All The Dogs Have The Good Names (National): Although the Stats of Level 25 Purple Outfits are much inferior to that of Level 30 Purple Outfits, they do have a high probability of winning since ten of them are fighting Floating Cloud, who’s alone.]

[Unfettered Brother (National): So that’s what happened. Won’t that mean that Big Shot Floating Cloud might lose?]

[Iron Head (National): Damn it! Hasn’t Floating Cloud fallen for World’s Best’s trap then?]
