Chapter 719 Let's Get Moving

Chapter 201 What are you going to do?

"What are you going to do?" Everyone looked at Xi Xiaotian. Gu Fei was annoyed. What was this? How did this swindler girl act like the boss?

Xi Xiaotian wasn't polite. Counting her fingers, she said, "Although things sound simple, there are actually many details that need careful consideration. The first thing I considered when I came up with this plan was the current situation. During the city war, there will definitely be a lot of open and secret struggles between guilds. Now that the situation is deadlocked, talking about this kind of cooperation with Niliu Ershang can greatly gain his trust. However, because of this situation, if Niliu Ershang is too suspicious, he may suspect that this is some kind of trap from other guilds."

"Why is it so complicated?" Xi Yao Wu, who liked things simple and direct, began to get annoyed when she realized it was a long speech.

Xi Xiaotian just smiled and continued, "In this ambiguous situation, it's impossible to know what choice Niliu Ershang will make. What's very likely is that he'll wait and see, so we need someone to fuel the flames."

"What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

"You all received the task of assassinating Niliu Ershang, right?" Xi Xiaotian said.

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.

"I didn't." Xi Xiaotian shook her head. "I received the task for the third on the list, Yun Zhong Mu Di."

"What are you trying to…" Someone with a quick reaction suddenly had a vague idea in their mind.

"We need to do some marketing. We don't have the strength to complete the task, so we want to auction it off to the above two guilds," Xi Xiaotian finally revealed the truth of her plan. "If Niliu Ershang hesitates when he hears the news, when he hears that we'll also look for Yun Zhong Mu Di, even if he hesitates, he'll have to bite the bullet and go for it. Conversely, it's the same for Yun Zhong Mu Di. Actually, if I could have received the Wushi Zhi Jian task, the competition between their two major guilds would have been even fiercer and easier to exploit. Unfortunately, I tried Wushi Zhi Jian just now and couldn't receive it, probably because someone failed before."

"This… can this work?" Everyone was surprised.

"Actually, if you have enough strength, you can receive tasks for more guild leaders, gather them all at once, and wipe them out completely. But we don't have enough people. They're all guild leader-level figures. We don't have the power to wipe them all out at once in a large-scale battle. Like now, we need five people to take down Niliu Ershang in seconds. So since Yun Zhong Mu Di is also coming, we might not even have the extra power to deal with him, but as long as we can seize the opportunity to kill Niliu Ershang, it'll be considered a success!" Xi Xiaotian said.

"Isn't this method too despicable?" Gu Fei said.

"We're weak and outnumbered. If we don't use a despicable method, how can we have a chance against a thousand-member guild? Do you think they'll fight you one-on-one?" Xi Xiaotian said.

"Ugh, why are you talking so much nonsense! As long as we can get people out and find a chance to kill them, who cares what means we use? Let's just decide on that, but how are we going to negotiate with them? We can't send them messages right now!" Xi Yao Wu said.

"We can only go there in person, but I can't go to two places at the same time. Another person will have to go to the other place. Who's going?" Xi Xiaotian asked.

"I'm not going. I'm not good at this kind of thing," Xi Yao Wu said. Everyone nodded. Xi Yao Wu was better at buying things, but selling things… most people would subconsciously feel that there was a problem. Actually, rich people weren't necessarily not careful with their things. Xi Yao Wu didn't just throw away her discarded equipment on the street. She would sell the ones that could be sold for money. It was just that most people took it for granted that these top RMB (renminbi) warriors were like that. If Xi Yao Wu went to promote something, they would probably find it strange.

"Uh, there's one thing I need to clarify. Although this matter is also a strategy taken because of the mission, as someone said just now, it's relatively despicable, so we're very likely to face retaliation from the major guilds afterward. You need to be mentally prepared," Xi Xiaotian reminded them again.

"Retaliation? What's so scary about that? I'll go!" Yun Xiang stood out. He suddenly realized that among these people, only he and Gu Fei were men. Gu Fei was a public figure, so he couldn't do this. He felt that if he didn't stand up, he would be too ashamed.

"Oh, what are you going to say?" Xi Xiaotian still wanted to test him.

Yun Xiang thought for a while and said, "Uh, I'll just say that our guild received a mission, but our guild is small and doesn't have the ability to complete it. Now we want to contact a few major guilds to sell this mission. If you're interested, please come to such and such a place. Is that okay?"

"No, there's one important point that you must say: the task must be received by the guild leader. Without this restriction, what if the major guilds just send a few people over?" Xi Xiaotian said.

"This… how do I say this? Just say it's a requirement of the mission?" Yun Xiang asked.

"Yes. But at this time, the other party is very likely to ask to add our guild leader as a friend and talk directly. How will you answer?" Xi Xiaotian asked.

"This… the guild leader… the guild leader's messages are off?" Yun Xiang couldn't answer.

Everyone laughed. Obviously, this reason was too unconvincing.

"At this time, the safest way is to find someone to pretend to be this non-existent guild leader. He has to be a neutral player so that he can communicate with the other party. Because of our faction issues, we can't communicate through messages. This is more difficult to get around."

"What do you mean by looking at me? Are you asking me to pretend to be the guild leader? That's impossible!" Gu Fei said.

"Of course not. What I mean is to borrow a girl from Resplendent Amethyst, and then we need a free player here to pretend to be the guild leader."

Everyone was a little dazed. It turned out that it was a simple thing, but under Xi Xiaotian's scrutiny of every detail, setting it up had so many complicated steps. Everyone realized that this girl was indeed a professional swindler, skilled and professional.

"If we want to be even more foolproof, it's best for the two people going to negotiate to temporarily leave the guild. Just like Jian Gui said just now, if the other party is in the resurrection camp, we can't enter and will be exposed," Xi Xiaotian said.

"So you mean borrowing three girls?" Gu Fei was a little conflicted because he felt uncomfortable with Xi Xiaotian's methods. However, these were indeed some of the tricks played in the process of confrontation. To put it nicely, it could be summarized as luring the enemy out of their lair. There was really nothing to criticize. Looking at the others, they were all comfortable with Xi Xiaotian's methods, except for Xi Yao Wu, who was tired of the long speeches and seemed a little impatient.

"Hurry up and find someone! What are you dawdling about!" Xi Yao Wu only cared about speed and didn't care about Gu Fei's entanglement, urging him to death from the side.

Gu Fei hesitated again and again, but he still felt that he should deal with the matter and not the person. Even if Han Jia Gongzi was here, he might not be able to think of this method, but he probably wouldn't feel so disgusted. It seemed that he still had a lot of opinions on Xi Xiaotian, but on this matter, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?

Gu Fei finally sent a message in the guild channel, asking to transfer three people to the new guild.

"What's the matter?" Gu Fei was actually just a figurehead, a nominal guild leader. In essence, the girls still listened to July.

"It's a tactical arrangement that requires manpower. We're short three people," Gu Fei said.

"Oh, who's going?" July always advocated democracy.

When the girls heard that they were going to engage in tactics, they were all unsure of themselves, afraid of delaying other people's business, and didn't dare to speak.

"Actually, you're just here to make up the numbers. You don't have to do anything. Just change guilds and continue the city missions," Gu Fei said.

When they heard that it was just like that, the girls' enthusiasm was revealed. Many people were willing to help. Gu Fei was very fair and chose the three who spoke first,潇洒 (xiāo sǎ - free and unrestrained) kicking them out of the guild, exercising his first guild leader rights since becoming the guild leader.

"Jian Gui!" Gu Fei called Jian Gui. "There are three people. Add them."

"Where did three people come from?"

"We temporarily need three people to leave the guild, so we're temporarily transferring three people from Resplendent Amethyst to make up the numbers," Gu Fei said.

"Oh, tell them to apply!" Jian Gui said. To apply to join the guild, you need to go to the guild hall, and the guild leader can receive messages from the guild hall thousands of miles away. Whether to accept or not, you don't need to report to the guild hall again.

"What are you guys doing?" Jian Gui also asked. The elite guild members he brought out could be said to be very heaven-defying. All of them were experts, but they were silently observing and waiting for an opportunity, thinking of strategies, even more at a loss than the siege players. On the other hand, Gu Fei brought a group of uneven guys, but they seemed to be very active. Jian Gui didn't know why, but he felt a little jealous.

Gu Fei explained Xi Xiaotian's plan. The people next to Jian Gui also came over to gossip and listen to Jian Gui's live broadcast. After listening, Jian Nan You greatly admired him. He immediately exposed his origins as a robber and that swindlers and rats were in the same nest. He sincerely admired such methods.

"This plan is wonderful. I think since we're doing it, let's make it bigger. If we come over, wouldn't we have more manpower? Let's get a few more guild leaders out and wipe them out in one fell swoop. How about that?" Jian Nan You began to push the envelope.

"Qian Li, wait a moment. We have something to discuss here," Jian Gui replied to Gu Fei and turned to discuss with Jian Nan You, "Do you think it's feasible?"

"Feasible, very feasible. I think you should also know that we are very good at the assassination part of this plan…" Jian Nan You was not ashamed to mention his past.

"The rewards should be very generous for completing multiple guild leader assassination missions at once, right?" You Ge was also tempted.

"How many guild leaders can we get if one person gets one?" Huo Ran Yi counted.

"It doesn't look good if we get too many. I think it's enough to get the guild leaders of the major guilds. How many level six guilds do you have here?" Jian Nan You and the others were outsiders and didn't know much about the guild pattern in Cloud City.

"Five, I think," Jian Gui said.

"Then let's go for these five!" Jian Nan You said. "There's no rush on the camp side. Looking at the current situation, we're just staring blankly here. It's better to go with them to assassinate the guild leaders."

Jian Gui was gradually tempted as he listened. That's right! The plan sounded quite good, and it had the conditions to be enlarged. It was very suitable to assassinate them in one batch and complete several tasks together.

"Alright!" Jian Gui nodded and contacted Gu Fei, "Don't rush to act. We're coming over to cooperate."

"Ah?" Gu Fei didn't expect this result.

"Who do you have over there?" Jian Gui asked.

Gu Fei reported the names.

"Call Yu Tian and the others out… oh, wait, take the tasks with you," Jian Gui said.

"What tasks?"

"Get a few more guild leaders. Let's make it bigger this time!" Jian Gui said.

"Fierce, too fierce…" Gu Fei realized that he was clearly a good person.

"Okay, latest news, Jian Gui and the others have decided to come over and help. The plan has been enlarged. We'll lure the five major guild leaders over at once and wipe them out," Gu Fei announced.

"Five major guild leaders? The Wushi Zhi Jian task can't be received. I've dealt with Gu Xiao Shang of Cai Yun Jian a little. I don't think that girl would fall for this, because their guild is quite self-satisfied and happy. It's developing greatly, but it doesn't have any desire to dominate," Xi Xiaotian said.

"Then four major guild leaders."

"There's no task for Wushi Zhi Jian!"

"No task doesn't affect killing him…" Gu Fei said.

Ruthless, more ruthless than the last! Yun Xiang gradually had an increasingly clear understanding of the group he was in now. Xiu Xiu Lian looked at everyone with increasing fear.

"In that case, we can't receive tasks randomly. Let's plan carefully!" Xi Xiaotian said.

Thus, the Heaven-Defying Guild began to gather, preparing to officially carry out its first collective activity. Among the three newly transferred girls, two said they would continue to harmoniously stay in the city to make up the numbers, while one said she would also come out to participate in the activity.

"Hi, Xiao Liu!" Gu Fei greeted Liu Xia. He had known her for a long time. However, they didn't interact much. There were so many girls before, and he didn't bother to greet the ones he had some private relationships with.

"Guild Leader," Liu Xia also used the current Resplendent Amethyst's title for Gu Fei. This title was three parts teasing, and seven parts, well, teasing.

"You seem to have gained weight," Gu Fei said.

"Oh? Can you tell?" Liu Xia was an excessively thin girl, so she felt a little comforted when he said she was fat.

"Yeah, I used to think I could break you with one slap, but now it looks like it might take two," Gu Fei said.

Too violent bird… Xiu Xiu Lian hid behind her cousin and secretly told her cousin that she wanted to quit the guild.

"Don't be afraid, they're all good people," You Ge said.

"Cough, do you drop equipment when you kill people during the city war? If we drop equipment, we can earn some extra money. They're all guild leader-level, so there must be a lot of money to be made!" Jian Nan You's occupational disease flared up.

"Since we've already made such a scene, why don't we make the auction real and take the money before doing anything?" Xi Xiaotian was also impulsive.

"They're all good people?" Xiu Xiu Lian asked her cousin.

You Ge couldn't explain anymore and quickly came out to stir things up, "Talk about the mission, talk about the mission."

"What a mess," Gu Fei was also furious.

"Boss, don't be angry. We're just joking, haha!" Jiao Shui quickly explained.

"Be serious, it's a city war! Try to kill as many people as possible," Gu Fei said.

Xiu Xiu Lian clung to her cousin tightly. She was very persistent.

"Can you all just talk about the mission? I'm begging you," You Ge was about to cry, while comforting Xiu Xiu Lian, "Cousin, don't make trouble. If you want to quit, wait a bit. There are only twenty people now. If you quit, won't the guild disband?"

The kind cousin was persuaded by this reason and continued to cower behind her cousin.

"I suggest we give this mission a name. How about Operation Decapitation? Decapitate this group of major guild leaders," Huo Qiu also began to be active. He liked these flashy things.

"Cough! Alright, let's talk business!" Jian Gui, as the guild leader, finally spoke. This group of mixed people from all directions all gave Jian Gui face. When they saw him speak, they quieted down.

"Now, we've tentatively set four guild leaders: Wushi Zhi Jian, Niliu Ershang, Yun Zhong Mu Di, and Black Finger. Everyone knows these people, right?" Jian Gui said.

"I know. What a coincidence! Are all the guild leaders' names four characters? Look at my old guild, Ying Zuka Yue Zi. Tsk tsk, but not now. Jian Gui, the leader, only has two characters, but Brother Zui is the guild leader now, and his name is also four characters. It's strange, why do you all like four-character names?" Huo Qiu rambled and went off-topic. Everyone looked at him.

"Are you qualified to talk about names?" Gu Fei asked.

Huo Qiu was stunned. His game's biggest failure was his name.

"Can you all stop interrupting?" Jian Gui wiped his sweat. Leading this guild was quite difficult.

Everyone expressed their determination with silence.

"Because of the special identities of the targets, we can't imagine the opponent as just one person. We need to be accurate and kill one person with one strike. Now let's take a look at the opponents' information." Under Jian Gui's instructions, You Ge proudly took out his intelligence book. Everyone stepped forward to watch, and You Ge was hit with a head-on blow.

After Xi Xiaotian looked at it for a few times, "You Ge, is your intelligence not updated? This, this, and this, Wushi Zhi Jian has long eliminated these three pieces of equipment."

"Really?" You Ge was stunned.

"It's the same with Niliu Ershang. He hasn't used these two pieces for a long time. Look, this is his current equipment." Xi Xiaotian threw her information over.

"Really?" You Ge quickly took it and studied it eagerly.

"What about Yun Zhong Mu Di and Black Finger's equipment?" You Ge continued to ask for advice.

"I don't have information on these two," Xi Xiaotian shook her head.

"I haven't been in Cloud City for a long time, so the information may be a bit old," You Ge said with shame.

"It's a bit troublesome if we don't know the accurate information!" Gui Tong said.

"It's not troublesome. Jian Gui and I can kill one each. Now that there are many people, I think the two of us can still blend in unnoticed," Gu Fei said.

"If a mage covers his face, it's still quite conspicuous," Gui Tong said.

"All four guild leaders know you, right?" Everyone glanced at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was very depressed. Was he going to be a lookout on the side for such a major decapitation operation?

"Actually, if you put on some fierce makeup, you might not be so easily recognized," Luo Luo suddenly said.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Fei suddenly had a bad feeling.

"The Five Flowers in the guild is a professional makeup artist. Ask her to do it for you. At least you can achieve the point where you can't be recognized without a close look. When you stand in the crowd, change your clothes, and don't cover your face, it's estimated that you won't attract attention, and you might be able to get away with it," Luo Luo said.

"The Five Flowers? Which Five Flowers?" Gu Fei racked his brains.

"Wu Yue Hua Kai, how many girls do you know in the guild?" Luo Luo despised him.

"May, June, July, are there so many girls with the character 'moon' in the guild?" Gu Fei was surprised.

"What do you mean by girls with the character 'moon'!!!" The girls present were all angry.
