Chapter 391 - The Breeze is Still, the Waves are Calm (1/2)

The guilds felt a bit dispirited towards the dungeon records. There was no way to stop Lord Grim from forming a dungeon team. They felt like no matter how hard they tried, second place would be the highest that they could ever achieve. There was no fun in that. As a result, some of the teams didn’t care about having five players in a team before dungeoning. Eight players could be split into two teams of four. A team of four was enough to beat a dungeon.

However, Blue Brook Guild had one less player because Thousand Creations had left. Seven players split into two teams meant one team of three and one team of four. Unless there was no other choice, they didn’t want the team of three to struggle on their way through the dungeon.

“You guys form one first. Bound Boat and I will look for players from other guilds to party with.” Blue River was a kind guild leader. He made arrangements for the subordinates first before thinking about himself.

“I say that there won’t be any other guilds to party with.” Bound Boat said.

Blue River stared blankly before remembering. In Thousand Waves Lake, besides G.o.d Ye Qiu’s group, only Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition hadn’t finished their three runs for the day.

“Aren’t there players from Tyrannical Ambition? They just happen to have three extra. We can form a party with them.” Blue River said as he messaged Cold Night. But it turned out that the other side had split their eight players into two teams of four and the two teams had already entered the dungeon.

“It seems like our only option is to struggle our way through the dungeon with just three players.” Bound Boat said helplessly after learning about the situation. Blue River also sighed. The seven of them could only split into one team of four and one team of three. The two teams entered the dungeon. In the end, Blue River ignored Ye Xiu’s invite.

Chen Guo saw Ye Xiu’s invite get rejected. Why did Ye Xiu want to invite him? It was because their team had Su Mucheng, whose free time was limited. There were three reasons for why Su Mucheng had a high level. One reason was because when she first started, Ye Xiu had spent time to carry her through. Another reason was because she was good at the game. Her leveling speed was a bit faster than normal players. The third reason was because of the Christmas event. However, even though Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng and Tang Rou had gained by far the most in the Christmas event, it could still be seen from the level standings that no matter how skilled they were, they couldn’t compare to the top guilds’ 24/7 leveling.

Ye Xiu saw that in the end, only four players would enter the dungeon. Su Mucheng’s character wouldn’t be able to do this run, so she would definitely fall behind in experience. If she kept on doing this, she would naturally fall further and further behind. Chen Guo couldn’t help but be concerned: “If you guys go dungeon now, what about Su Mucheng? When she comes back tomorrow, she won’t have anyone to dungeon with.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. We can’t wait for her. She doesn’t have time tomorrow either. She has a match to play.” Ye Xiu said.

“She’s so busy. It must be tough.” Chen Guo felt her heart ache for her idol.

“It’s not too bad. She doesn’t spend too much time online. She can make it up with her skill.” Ye Xiu said.

“No matter how good she is, she can’t compare to the top guilds’ 24/7 leveling, no?” Chen Guo used to be a part of a top guild, so she knew of this, too.

“That’s true.” Ye Xiu acknowledged.

“Actually, my Chasing Haze is at the maximum level and I’ve also just left the guild, so I don’t have a set team to dungeon with. I can let her sit there for now.” Chen Guo was speaking as if her tongue were in a knot. It wasn’t at all like her usual unrestrained self.

“Hm? So you’re saying, you can help her level?” Ye Xiu understood what she was trying to get at.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Chen Guo nodded her head furiously. She was a bit excited. Playing on the same account as her idol, how fun would that be?

“You would have to keep on moving the card around. You won’t find that annoying?” Ye Xiu said.

“Not at all. Not at all.” Chen Guo shook her head furiously and became even more excited. This was another reason to be happy about! In Glory, the account was tied to the card. To get someone else to level it required handing over the account card. This would mean that she would be able to see her idol every day. Thinking of this, Chen Guo couldn’t help but smile.

“Boss, how old are you?” Ye Xiu suddenly asked.

“What?” Chen Guo couldn’t understand why he asked this question. Her age? Didn’t Ye Xiu already know it?

“Boss, you’re so old already, yet you’re still acting like a little girl chasing stars?” Ye Xiu said.

“Are you looking to die!!” Chen Guo jumped up in anger. She looked around, but couldn’t find anything she could grab to hit someone with. The mouse and keyboard in her hands were newly bought for her to use and she liked them very much. The monitor, too expensive. The chair, too big. Too much commotion wouldn’t be good.

“Cough, cough. Your words make a lot of sense. If you help her level, you’d take a big load off of our shoulders. The guild’s development is at a crucial moment right now. Boss’s decision is very wise.” Ye Xiu hastily corrected himself.

Tang Rou had turned to look at them and was holding back from laughing. Ye Xiu’s bunch of words had calmed Chen Guo down a lot. Chen Guo sat down, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry: “Then how do you think we should do this?”

“For leveling, my character is actually the most crucial! Boss, if you really care, help me level!” Ye Xiu said.

“Help you…..” Chen Guo’s interest had clearly gone down. If it was before, she would have gone crazy from excitement if she could help Ye Qiu level. But after knowing that Ye Qiu was Ye Xiu, Chen Guo’s adoration for the G.o.d had weakened.

“Okay……” She still agreed though.
