Chapter 398 - Too Silent (1/2)

While everyone was happy that they broke the record, this boss behind the scenes suddenly talked trash about the guild name. This was something that even the experienced Ye Xiu hadn’t expected. Chen Guo’s sound had been directly relayed to everyone from Ye Xiu’s mic. The whole team was in an awkward silence.

After a moment of silence, the first to talk was the experienced Ye Xiu. He continued with the trash talk on the guild name: “Let it be right what it is right now! We can change it when we reach the Heavenly Domain. After all, that will be our main server.”

“That’s reasonable.” Chen Guo nodded her head and then spoke again as if she had thought of something, “Then should we create our guild on the other servers, too?”

Ye Xiu said with a handful of sweat, “It’s still too early……”

“Okay……” Chen Guo answered. She had finally stopped talking. However, the random trash talking had killed everyone’s excitement. Continuing to be excited after all that felt a bit dumb. In the end, Ye Xiu faced the rest of the squad like a great general and said: “Let’s keep dungeoning……”

Only a single run had been needed to beat the record. They still had two more chances to run the dungeon, so, of course, they would use them. It was a very logical choice. The other four members didn’t have any objections. As a result, while their guild members were still celebrating the new record, the five main characters were already back to their usual leveling life.

If truth, their excitement hadn’t calmed down that quickly. It was just that they had been interrupted by a random thought and didn’t know how to continue. For example, after beginning their second run, Thousand Creations and Horse Shooter couldn’t help but open up the dungeon record rankings, admiring their own names in the Thousand Wave Lake dungeon record, as well as the time of 30:25:41, and giggle to themselves.

Due to that, the two weren’t focused enough and weren’t able to keep up with the team, making mistakes here and there. Their second run clearly wasn’t going to be good enough to beat the record. Thousand Creations and Horse Shooter immediately apologized. Ye Xiu told them not to worry. The current record was more than good enough. The time of 30:25:41 was already four minutes ahead of the second place time. It could be said that this was mainly because of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng’s strong control over the monsters. In addition, the synergy between the two was considered to be at the top, even on the professional stage.

It was that same reason again: the harder the dungeon, the bigger the advantage Ye Xiu’s team had because of their skill as pros.

Ye Xiu was already very satisfied with the record, but he felt like the reactions from the top guilds were somewhat strange. It was too quiet. So quiet that it didn’t fit the game. The moment that they had exited the dungeon, Ye Xiu had paid close attention to his surroundings, but didn’t notice any movements. Had the guilds really given up on competing with him?

Ye Xiu couldn’t believe it, but that’s how it seemed to be. With Ye Xiu’s experience, there had to be some scheme going on. The top guilds weren’t making a move because they had a plan in mind that was waiting to be used.

What could it be?

Ye Xiu thought as he sent a message. The first person he would contact was, of course, Blue Brook Guild’s tenth server guild leader, Blue River.

“What do you think? Amazing, no?” Ye Xiu began the conversation like this.

“What?” Blue River answered.

“Record! Did you not see it?” Ye Xiu replied.

“Oh, I saw it. But that’s expected.” Blue River replied calmly.

“Oh, so what are you guys planning to do?” Ye Xiu asked.

Blue River understood what he meant, but saying it in such a straightforward manner left him speechless. He could only use “……” as a reply.

“Come back on Peerless Looks when you have time. A lot of our members miss you and they often ask where you are. See, if you had told them that Blue River is your main account, they would message Blue River directly and that wouldn’t be convenient. After all, you’re a spy, no?” Ye Xiu said.

Blue River was speechless again. This was really weird! The boss knows you’re a spy, yet still takes care of you. It was really…… weird! Blue River couldn’t find any words to describe his feelings right now.

“Then let it be! Everyone is going to be out of Thousand Waves Lake soon. Do you have something planned for the next leveling area? To be honest, I’m really looking forward to it!” Ye Xiu added a “hopeful” emoji to his last sentence.

Blue River’s heart stopped beating for a second upon seeing this.

They had tried countless number of plans, but Ye Xiu managed to outsmart them and take advantage of them every time. From this point of view, it was quite reasonable for Ye Xiu to look forward to their plan.

“It looks like you’re going to be disappointed this time…….” Blue River replied.

This reply surprised Ye Xiu. Did it mean that, this time, the guilds won’t be making any moves?
