Chapter 165 - Record Kidnappping (1/2)
The two of them stood like broken machines amidst the barren desert in the Heavenly Domain. The sand from the large gale seemed as if it was going to bury them.
Lord Grim!
Without a guild, there was no way they could figure out his origins. There also weren’t any signs of background powers a.s.sisting him. The tenth server’s dungeon records were solely controlled by his technique. He had even taken control of all of the guilds.
In the new server, dungeon records were extremely important for a guild’s development.
The new server was practically filled with new players. No matter how famous a guild’s name was, in the new server, they would simply be unknown to the eyes of new players. How could they establish their name towards new players? It was through dungeon records. These were undeniable reflections of a guild’s strength.
However, all of the tenth server’s guilds had now been turned into jokes. In the eyes of everyone else, whoever Lord Grim helped would obtain the record.
Ignoring the new players, the big guilds themselves recognized the importance of having Lord Grim when competing for the records and for him.
Once he started to act, there would be no chance for them. The new players had no information about the records, but those who were experienced could immediately tell how ridiculous Lord Grim’s records were. It was impossible for them to achieve records like this, so if they didn’t look for Lord Grim, they couldn’t do anything.
In the end, the big guilds hadn’t prepared well enough for this situation. How could they have imagined that such an overwhelming expert would appear. If the tenth server continued to be like this, it really would become a new age. None of the big guilds would have enough strength to take over. Experts. Experts were originally the biggest advantage that big guilds had in the new server. But with the presence of Lord Grim, their experts were worthless. Since it’s like this, what advantages did they have? They couldn’t just continue spamming in the world channel that they were one of Glory’s greatest guilds, could they?
“Hmm….. I’m also unsure whether this was all just a coincidence.” Cold Night said.
“If it’s not, then not only does this guy have terrifying skill, but he has smarts too.” Jiang You said.
“Should I go back and try to negotiate with him?” Cold Night said.
“Yeah, you should go……”
……
Glory Tenth Server.
Blue River wasn’t aware of this issue yet. He was still creating a dungeon team with Changing Spring. When Cold Night returned to the tenth server, he checked his friends list, but didn’t see Blue River online.
In his friends list, Lord Grim’s name was still lit. The world chat had calmed down quite a bit though. Right now, almost five o’clock, it was a period where there were only a few players online. With the pa.s.sing of the wave of discussions over the dungeon records, the world chat had returned to its normal state.
However, Cold Night knew that even though the discussions had ended, it didn’t mean that the matter was over. Their guild’s image had been damaged. If they didn’t hurry and seize a record, they might actually fall in the tenth server.
“Brother, are you there?” Cold Night sent Lord Grim a message. During the evening, it was quite normal for a player to be AFK (away from their keyboards).
“Here.” Ye Xiu had been quietly killing monsters in the wild the entire time.
“I want to discuss about Line Canyon with you.” Cold Night said.
“Line Canyon? My level isn’t high enough yet!” Ye Xiu replied.
“Brother, do you really not know what I mean?” Cold Night carefully prodded. He really couldn’t afford to offend him! Cold Night held his breath.
“Tell me.” Ye Xiu replied.
“This time, for Line Canyon’s record, we hope that brother won’t act.” Cold Night said.
“Oh, the price for that is going to be even higher!” Ye Xiu replied.
The reply came instantly. There weren’t any shocks or doubts. He directly moved to the discussion over to the price. If this guy said he hadn’t planned anything beforehand, who would believe him? Lord Grim clearly knew better than he did. Lord Grim had prepared everything long ago. Cold Night felt depressed. He had no choice but to follow up and ask: “What’s the price?”
“Eight Scarlet Scorpion Tails, eight Scarlet Stingers, a Scarlet Berserker Blade, an Amber Crystal, and 40 threads of Sandworm Silk.”
The reply was once again instant. It looked like he prepared the price long ago too. Cold Night was still depressed. He went over the materials one by one and wanted to cry.
Scarlet Scorpion Tails and Scarlet Stingers were both from Line Canyon’s hidden BOSS, Scarlet Scorpion a.s.sa.s.sin. The Scarlet Berserker Blade was the hidden BOSS Illusion Swordmaster Ahong’s Saber, an Orange weapon. The Sandworm Silk dropped from the other hidden BOSS, Sandworm. As for the Amber Crystal, that was a drop from the Line Canyon’s wild BOSS, Ronin Alpine.
Even just gathering these five items was extremely difficult.
This was because these items came from every single uncommon BOSS in Line Canyon. According to the number of materials requested, even if these items dropped from the BOSS 100% of the time, they would still have to face the hidden BOSS dozens of times. Just look at Ye Xiu’s two days of dungeoning. He ran the dungeon for a total of six times, yet he hadn’t met a single hidden BOSS. If he had to gather the materials by himself, even if he cleared Line Canyon until he couldn’t get experience from the dungeon anymore, he still wouldn’t be able to gather all of them.
And in order to get the Scarlet Berserker Blade, a player would have to first be lucky enough to meet the hidden BOSS. He then would have to get lucky enough for the Orange weapon to drop.
The Amber Crystal was even more troublesome. Wild BOSSes couldn’t simply be cleared;They had to be stolen through PK. The first kill on Desolate Land and Line Canyon’s wild BOSS had already been completed. These two kills were both done when Ye Xiu wasn’t online, which was why no one had asked him to partic.i.p.ate. One of these kills was stolen by Herb Garden, while the other was done by the Tyrannical Ambition. But just thinking about how much they had put in to get this far made his heart ache.
