Chapter 1 The Lord of Super Variation is too Strong

The lord of super variation level was too powerful. Nie Yan wondered if the Brilliant Knife Light could withstand it. After careful consideration, he decided to wait. He suppressed the dangerous thought. Items of the sub-legendary level were not so easy to obtain. Nie Yan didn't want his adventurous nature to lead to the annihilation of his team. They should kill ordinary lords first, improve the equipment and levels of his teammates, and then consider whether to find a lord of super variation level.

Nie Yan checked his own level, which was already level thirty-three. As for the other team members, Undying Scoundrel, Black and White, Wu Feng, and the other six had reached level thirty and left the team, but they were still helping Nie Yan lure monsters. Brilliant Knife Light had just reached level thirty and also left the team.

There were still four people who had not reached level thirty, but soon, piles and piles of mechanical puppets were lured over. Watching the dense, tide-like mechanical puppets pouring in from all the streets, Nie Yan was also taken aback. How could there be so many? He suspected that his teammates had lured all the mechanical puppets in the City of Eternal into the area. Under Nie Yan's warning, these team members did not dare to go to the center of the City of Eternal, but only operated on the periphery of the City of Eternal.

Nie Yan's area-of-effect magic bombs continued to fall, exploding with a boom, and large swaths of mechanical puppets fell to the ground.

After a while, only a large area of mechanical puppet corpses remained in the square.

The team members collected the dropped equipment.

"Are there any boots or shoulder pads?" Nie Yan asked. The most urgent task now was to help Brilliant Knife Light collect a complete set of the Eternal Set.

"I found a shoulder pad here," Xia Chong Yu Bing said, picking up a piece of equipment.

"There's a leg guard here."

"We already have leg guards!"

"Let's farm a few more waves, we should get the boots."

Nie Yan looked at his backpack. There were only three hundred area-of-effect magic bombs left in his backpack. In a short period of time, more than two thousand area-of-effect magic bombs had been used up. This consumption was truly astonishing.

The team members calculated that because of the team's leveling this time, Nie Yan had consumed nearly five hundred gold coins. They all felt apologetic. They didn't know that leveling up like a rocket consumed so much. Now that they thought about it, asking Guild Leader Nie Yan to level them up was such an excessive request.

"Guild Leader, we're sorry, we wasted so much of the guild's money," Undying Scoundrel said apologetically. After all, it was a few of them who first proposed letting Nie Yan level them up. Since the consumption was so high, why didn't Nie Yan explain the situation?

"It's not a waste to bring you all to level thirty. It would be even more worthwhile if we could collect the Eternal Set. It's just five hundred gold coins, the money can be earned back," Nie Yan said with a smile. Although five hundred gold coins was a lot of money, it was still a gain to improve the strength of the team members.

"Guild Leader, you're too touching. From now on, we'll be at your beck and call. Just say the word, and we'll definitely serve you with our lives," Undying Scoundrel said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Nie Yan smiled and said, "Alright, stop the nonsense. You can all wear the level thirty gold sets in the guild now. Go tell Guo Huai and take them from the guild warehouse."

"That won't do, we can't take the guild's things for free anymore. The guild brothers will have opinions. My guild contribution points have already exceeded six thousand. I can donate a few more pieces of equipment to get a set of level thirty gold equipment. I'll donate the set of equipment I'm wearing," Xia Chong Yu Bing said. They all understood that the guild was just developing now, and everyone had to think about the guild's development so that everyone could rise with the tide in the future.

Xia Chong Yu Bing's words were approved by everyone. Anyway, the used equipment could be put into the guild warehouse and exchanged for guild contribution points again. The existence of the guild warehouse greatly facilitated everyone.

If every member of the guild had such a heart, how could the guild not grow stronger?

Three more people reached level thirty, leaving only Big Brother Qi Zai, the leader, who had not reached level thirty yet. He was a priest, and leveling up was usually the most difficult, so his level was slightly lower than everyone else's.

Nie Yan thought for a while and said to Big Brother Qi Zai, "I still have some area-of-effect magic bombs here, I'll take you to level thirty-two."

Priests level up slowly, and will definitely be gradually surpassed by others in the future, so letting Big Brother Qi Zai level up a few more levels would prevent him from falling too far behind.

"Isn't that too wasteful?" Big Brother Qi Zai said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, leveling up with two people is very fast," Nie Yan said. Without other team members to share the experience, it would be very fast to help Big Brother Qi Zai reach level thirty-two.

"Alright then," Big Brother Qi Zai said after thinking for a while. As a priest, he understood how important he was to the guild's elite team, so he didn't refuse.

Another wave of mechanical puppets was lured over, and they continued to use area-of-effect magic bombs. Clusters of flames swept through these mechanical puppets. Large swaths of mechanical puppets fell.

Ding dong, a system notification sounded, and Nie Yan leveled up again, reaching level thirty-four. He didn't expect to be close to level thirty-five so soon. Nie Yan still had a set of Thief's Heavenly Travel Set in his backpack, which was defensive equipment. He originally planned to use it when he encountered a suitable situation, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He was about to start collecting level thirty-five and level forty equipment. However, the defense of the Heavenly Travel Set would be fine even if it was used until level forty. At worst, he could use gems to upgrade the Heavenly Travel Set. Since it was dark gold equipment, it was extremely cost-effective to use gems to upgrade it.

A beam of white light fell on Big Brother Qi Zai, and Big Brother Qi Zai reached level thirty, and his experience quickly soared to 86%. Without team members to dilute the experience, the leveling speed was much faster.

After collecting the equipment on the ground.

"There's a piece of Eternal Set armor here," Xia Chong Yu Bing said in surprise. Among the Eternal Set, the armor was the most important component. With the armor, he could wear other pieces of equipment even if he was below level.

"Not bad," Nie Yan also said in pleasant surprise. Even if there were only scattered pieces of the Eternal Set, the attributes were good, especially when worn at level thirty, the defensive ability was quite considerable. With the armor, he could give the remaining scattered pieces to Yi Yan.

"Boots dropped here," Wu Feng picked up a piece of equipment from the ground. The Eternal Set was finally complete.

All the components were traded to Brilliant Knife Light. Brilliant Knife Light was covered in a set of Eternal Set, every part of his body was protected by hard metal. This set of equipment was no less than an ordinary level thirty dark gold set. The powerful defensive ability could despise all level thirty lords, and it might even be able to withstand a level thirty super variation lord.

Plus, Big Brother Qi Zai's level had also increased, so it was about time to organize guild activities, Nie Yan thought.

Continuing to level up, Nie Yan's voice communication rang. He looked at it and it was Half-Asleep Fox. This guy finally couldn't help but look for him. Nie Yan connected the voice communication.

"You guys are quite fierce, the level rankings have become your family's territory," Half-Asleep Fox said. He couldn't help but envy Nie Yan. It would be great if he had such a group of experts under his command.

The current situation was that Light Holy Flame and Triumph Empire were the strongest, Ni Ren Tribe had the most experts, as for the Holy Roman Empire, their only hope was to pin their hopes on the fortress battle. If they won the fortress, the Holy Roman Empire could develop. If the fortress was taken by Light Holy Flame, the Holy Roman Empire would have to remain silent for a while. Light Holy Flame would definitely beat a dog in the water.

"You wouldn't have contacted me just to talk about levels, right?" Nie Yan said with a faint smile. He was much more leisurely than Half-Asleep Fox.

"How about sending your guild's experts to help me seize the fortress?" Half-Asleep Fox finally stated his intention directly. The battle for small fortresses would be conducted under the supervision of the Greenland Empire. The number of people on both sides would be two thousand. After seizing the fortress, they would have ownership for five months. After five months, the fortress would be fully open and could be freely contested. Even if they could only control it for five months, the fortress's tax revenue for five months would be a great temptation, enough to allow the Holy Roman Empire to rise.

And the guild with the most experts was none other than Ni Ren Tribe.

"Our alliance is just a defensive alliance. Ni Ren Tribe has no obligation to help the Holy Roman Empire seize the fortress, right?" Nie Yan said. He would be taking a great risk by sending experts to help the Holy Roman Empire seize the fortress. Unless there were enough benefits, he would not take action. As a guild leader, he had to think about the guild.

"I want you to send ten people, two hundred gold coins, how about it," Half-Asleep Fox said. The ten people he was talking about were the ten people from Ni Ren Tribe who calmly retreated after killing five hundred people in the Molten Forest. The employment fee of two hundred gold coins was truly an astonishingly high price.

"You really think highly of us," Nie Yan said. With two hundred gold coins, he could probably hire a top-notch studio of two hundred people to work for Half-Asleep Fox, and the price he offered was just to hire these ten people from Nie Yan. But for Nie Yan, two hundred gold coins was nothing, he was too rich to even care about two hundred gold coins.

"You're worth the price," Half-Asleep Fox said. He guessed that Nie Yan should take action based on their cooperative relationship.

But Nie Yan had other plans.

"I'll send 100 people, I have 80% certainty to help you seize the fortress, but two hundred gold coins is definitely not enough. If I help you seize the fortress, I want 30% of the fortress's shares," Nie Yan said a bit greedily.

"What makes you so confident?" Half-Asleep Fox asked rhetorically. He had been recruiting employed experts everywhere, but he still didn't have the confidence to seize the fortress. What made Nie Yan so confident?

"Think about it," Nie Yan said calmly, despite being questioned by Half-Asleep Fox. The number of experts in Ni Ren Tribe was unimaginable to Half-Asleep Fox, more than all of their guilds combined. If it was a large-scale battle with tens of thousands of people, he couldn't guarantee anything, but in a battle with only two thousand people, Ni Ren Tribe would send one hundred people, cooperating with the Holy Roman Empire, they could almost wipe out Light Holy Flame.
