Chapter 695: Chapter 695 – The Aspirational Flux Bead

“Quick, send soe could not co was amiss

Carouse had not made any uild coalition was dissolved, Brave Surge did not think it was possible for theh their own efforts This hy he had dispatched a good portion of his guildall over for quests as he kept an eye on the situation over by the battlefield

They had ed to find an assorted collection of loose quests, but none of theh to affect the overall state of the war However, Brave Surge believed that his guild was not too far off in terms of the contribution scores that they had earned after having gathered all these disparate quests Those ere busy engaging in a bloody battle with the NPCs guarding the city walls were not faring any better either Over by the east, west and south gates, the death count for the players steadily clis becauards finally took care of the each and every wave that was thrown at theates was not as zealous as before Some still held on, while others had diverted their attention to finding quests There were even some who felt it was tooout Of course, these were those suilds that pretty much had no desire to carry on After all, the uild effort, because even if they did contribute, they e any direct benefit for it

However, things were different for the players in the large guilds Things like guild points were almost equivalent to another foruilds would provide exceptional equipuild tasks, and it was not just up to the guild leader to decide where these would be distributed The systeuild points they had earned for the guild to obtain exceptional equiproup activities and tasks with the guild often in order to earn points Thus, no matter how much of an expert somebody could be, there was simply no other way for players to earn points with how the system would calculate them Nevertheless, it was unavoidable for the system's method of calculation to be a little inflexible, so there was no way for the system to tabulate some of the more human contributions, and these would therefore have to depend on the guild leader to find souild would total up the points that the systeiven and establish their oard and punishuilds that could formally implement this In a sense, this was a virtuous cycle; there would be no standards without rules So when the players all abide by the rules that were set, the guild would naturally be able to flourish and grow As the guilds becoet even better quests, which would also greatly i In order to obtain the rewards, guild meuild activities and the ilk, so they could earn more points Once such a cycle could be established, the sense of belonging a player would have toward the guild would naturally increase, and that would also uild would stabilize with tiuilds that failed to establish rules would have uilds could only depend on a few of the more active uilds to , so all these players could only enviously yearn for the equipuilds have equipped, and subsequently see fit to leave the guild for better prospects

For Carouse to have developed till today, that naturally meant its h they were not having a successful City War, nobody left the guild and were all giving it their all searching for quests If they ed to find one, while they had no idea just how much contribution score they would be awarded for the event, the guild points they could earn from the system would be clearly calculated, and that was no different froe made the call, athered together, they followed Brave Surge's instruction and headed out over to the cavity where their previous quest had been situated

“Keep in contact with that Leuild leader's nae directed that coes, the expression on his face became somewhat disturbed as well, “He declined uild leader's na here too”

“Des”

“Oh crap We've tipped our hand Get those players who are near the site to hurry We need to find out what's going on there first,” Blue Surge said

“Just what exactly is going on? Why don't I understand what is happening right now?” so

“You'll understand eventually,” Brave Surge had a hunch, but there was no convincing evidence to affirm his suspicions yet, so he did not wish tohe dared to be certain about, and it was that Wind Seal was not thechip that every side was fighting over, and the real co the strings fro Four Seas lacks the ht now, so who else could it be? Brave Surge's thoughts were hung up on the other three level six guilds Aside frouilds that would have such a large appetite and would want to fight with Carouse so openly

The advance party that Carouse had sent arrived quickly, and going by the instructions that Brave Surge had given, they did not immediately approach and reveal themselves Instead, they opted to send their Stealthed Thieves in to take a look first

“Take note and find out which guilds the nearby players are froe ordered

The assassin Flux Bead was the first fro back to his party leader, he iuild leader himself Flux Bead was sohts of heroisent when it caroup activities because he had his eye on a particular weapon: the dagger Crushed Snow Flux Bead had seen the dagger in the hands of his friend from another city, and he really liked it However, the weapon was a reward frouild quest, and there was no way to obtain it other than by taking part in a large scale quest This was the reason why Flux Bead had joined Carouse and was so assiduous when it cauild points Each day, he would find out about the various activities offered in the guild for the day and hoped that he would soon be able to join a quest that offered Crushed Snow as a reward

It was unknown if every city's quest content would be different, but Flux Bead had yet to see the quest his friend had mentioned while he was in Carouse All he could do was frequently participate in all the guild quests at this level, just so he could grab Crushed Snow the moment it appeared as a reward He was number four in terms of the points that he had accu else Aside fro else he desired

Brave Surge felt relieved when he found out that the person ould be investigating the location was going to be Flux Bead This assassin was just another bit player, yet he had left a deep ie, not only because of his rank in terms of the points that he accumulated, but more because he was souild quests, stepping up to the plate without even a word of complaint Guild leaders loved such players, especially since the man had accumulated so many points, as that also uild easily

“Be careful,” Brave Surge personally cautioned Flux Bead in the guild channel

“Yes!” Flux Bead only replied with that one word as he went into Stealth, slowly creeping his way to the cavity

Nowadays, Stealth no longer provided stalking the 100 safety it did before, as ave players the ability to detect Stealth A properly developed tea toward this end However, after Flux Bead observed the surroundings, he realized there was indeed no cover around this cavity, so the only thing he could do was directly run in

As someone who aspired to be a lone hero, caution was erly approached the cavity step by step He would turn to look around every two or three steps to take note if there was anyto see any movement around hi prone within a nearby forest

Flux Bead could see he was about to close in on the cavity, when he suddenly received a e from his companion, “Be careful!!”

Flux Bead turned around and saing flames rise from within the woods, and he heard the sound of all sorts of skills intertwined together

The enemy was prepared!!

Does that h, the instant Flux Bead turned back around, two assassins had already appeared in front of hiht at hiree, but that did not uildmates who had done quests with hie, but that was only because teaood at He had never once considered coordinating with anyone since his goal had always been to be a lone wolf that could go up against the world Indeed, the man had no special teamwork capabilities to speak of, but his skills in terers that caht at him from out of nowhere, Flux Bead was not in the least bit flustered as he quickly canceled his Stealth and circled away after activating his Fleetfoot With a wave of his hand, he returned the stab with a cut froht at the assassin on the left, while tossing a s the white sand in every direction Unsurprisingly, the enemy was actually prepared for this, and there was of course not just the two assassins in Stealth

Alone, trapped in a situation like this, Flux Bead had instead inexplicably gotten excited about it He had not forgotten hisnote of the opponents' chests, he did not find any guild emblem pinned on them The enemies already had hith and knew that he was no h this was only a ga currently, to so was a very unco able to escape would be considered a victory

Flux Bead's Fleetfoot had not expired, so he pretended to charge in a direction, spurring everyone to correct their trajectory to intercept him, before he suddenly turned around and bolted away in a different direction Not all of the players were foolish enough to fall for this feint, and such a sih to ditch them all However, it was still a very suddenat different speeds Flux Bead used the gap between a player who reacted quickly and another who reacted slowly and passed through the two like a ghost

Flux Bead turned his head back and laughed in delight He gained a great sense of satisfaction in being able to acco like this

However, these assassins did not let hihed once htly patted the emblem he had pinned on his chest The speed of his Fleetfoot suddenly increased, instantly creating a huge gap between the assassins and him

This emblem he had just activated had a skill inlaid, and it was the skill 'Accelerate', allowing the user to increase their own movement speed by 30 and lasted for 10 seconds
