Chapter 129: Leader Is Amazing (1/2)
Gods of Destruction was ranked second in the China Server, just below the first, Candle Dragon. They were the strongest in the Floating Ice City region, so everyone must have thought championship really would fall into their hands!
Unfortunately for them, the Suzhou-Zhejiang-Shanghai region was full of heroes. All kinds of large organizations appeared. The Shadow Clan, the Friendship Clan, and so on. Mad Dragon aside, even Snowy Cathaya and Bloody Mercenaries’ main teams would be enough to deal with Dominating Heaven Blade. I really didn’t understand what gave him confidence to make such bold claims.
……
After dinner, Lin Yixin called me.
”Lu Chen, you saw the Who Will Fight Me tournament? We can register after 12 tonight. What do you think?”
”What do you mean ‘what do I think’?” I asked.
Lin Yixin laughed. ”How about we join together. Join my team and we’ll definitely get the Floating Ice City’s championship!”
I turned back to look at Beiming Xue's earnest gaze. My heart trembled and I said, ”Beauty Yi, let’s not. I am the Bloody Mercenaries workshop’s leader. If I joined under Snowy Cathaya’s name, it would be a miracle if I wasn’t looked down on!”
”Oh, so that's the case...” Lin Yixin's tone was disappointed. She said with a smile, ”Then never mind, I can only search for another strong player to join Snowy Cathaya if you don't come.”
”Oh? Another strong player... you have a candidate?”
”I do!”
I was shocked. ”Who is it?”
”Purple Marquis!”
”?!” I was even more surprised. ”Purple Marquis is a member of the Shadow Clan, how will you get him?”
Lin Yixin laughed softly. ”Just watch!”
Then Lin Yixin quickly hung up on me. This conversation had not been very pleasurable.
……
A few minutes later, there was another phone call. This was from Murong Mingyue—
”Lu Chen!”
”Sister Mingyue!”
”I have something...”
”Who Will Fight Me?”
”Ah! How do you know?” Murong Mingyue laughed softly and said, ”Just now, Eve confirmed the five people from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls who will participate!”
”Oh, who? You and Xu Yang were selected?”
”Yes, I and Xu Yang along with three high-level players the guild has recruited. They are all pretty strong, about equal to Xu Yang. Eve wants us to get at least into Top 8 and make Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls famous in Floating Ice City. Otherwise, our guild's ranking will never increase!”
I laughed. ”Since you have confirmed the candidates, Sister Mingyue, why did you phone me?”
”Oh, just to tell you...” Murong Mingyue said quietly. ”I kept on thinking if you could return, with a Heavenly King expert like you, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls can definitely reach the Top 3 of Floating Ice City, no?”
”Yes, I know. That’s why I’m calling you to complain!”
……
After chatting for a while, Murong Mingyue reluctantly hung up. She said she was going with He Yi and Xu Yang to eat. Recently, they’ve established the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls workshop. It was said to take up an entire floor of an office building. Eve was extremely charismatic and had invited many experts from China's VR games to help. In reality, on the Guild Ranking, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had recently broken into the Top 100, and was much better than the second-rate faction it used to be.
I took a deep breath and looked at the darkness outside. I was filled with longing. If nothing had happened to my body, maybe I would be with He Yi and eating street food right now? What kind of fortune that would be, a good fortune I didn't even dare to dream about.
In the night, I continued to grind Greedy Wolf Forest for wolf pelts. Mobs there were pretty high-level, so I could get good experience as well.
I was busy for most of the night but didn't reach Level 63. Experience needed to level up has become pretty ridiculous, and it would only be worse as time went on.
At least Yamete was happy. I bought some high-grade ores from Xu Yang at a low price. Having received a large supply of ore and pelts, it only took two nights for Yamete’s Armorsmithing to reach Rank 6. He was the first to do so in Floating Ice City.
I managed to make it to three in the morning. I still hadn't reached Level 63 and could only go to sleep.
Falling into deep slumber, I didn’t wake up until noon.
Doo doo...
The phone sounded. It was Lin Yixin's number—
”Hey, what is it, Beauty Lin?”
”Come out.”
”What is it?” I rubbed my eyes and asked lazily.
