Chapter 16 He Is Watching

Nie Yan decided to let Guo Huai investigate Wei Kai first. He wanted to understand the situation before making a decision. Wei Kai was like a wild cub. If he could be controlled, he could be very useful, but if he wasn't careful, he could bite back. Therefore, Nie Yan needed to grasp enough of his weaknesses to keep him firmly in his hand, so that he would never dare to betray him. Nie Yan entrusted this matter to Guo Huai.

He checked the time; it was almost time to enter the game.

Nie Yan put on his helmet and returned to the game.

Yao Yao, Sun, and the others were already online.

"Nie Yan, good morning."

"Brother Nie Yan, good morning."

"Boss Nie Yan, morning."

Nie Yan greeted them in return and said, "Let's go grind elites first."

The elites all respawned at a few points in the morning. The group worked together to take down the nearby elites and sub-elites. A group of five or six people could kill elite Scaled Frogs with relative ease. After killing all the elites and sub-elites, about an hour had passed, and everyone split up to continue respawning the Scaled Frogs.

Nie Yan used his dagger to kill a Scaled Frog without taking any damage. He glanced towards the dense jungle. He always felt like someone was watching him, especially when he was leveling alone, separated from his teammates. This feeling grew stronger and stronger. But when he searched the jungle, he found nothing.

He understood that he was being watched. He had always been very sensitive to danger. With his super high perception, he could vaguely feel the other party's gaze.

The other party had not shown himself, probably because he was in stealth. He must be a Thief!

Nie Yan's left hand unconsciously touched the sharp blade of his dagger, then he walked towards the depths of the jungle, getting further and further away from his teammates.

Nie Yan guessed that the person might be afraid to appear because his teammates were nearby.

So Nie Yan left his teammates, preparing to lure the snake out of its hole.

He glanced at his skills; they had all cooled down.

He gradually walked into the depths of the jungle, at least several thousand yards away from his teammates.

The forest was extremely quiet. Occasionally, a few frog croaks came from afar. Wisps of morning mist floated among the trees, adding a bit of tranquility to the surroundings. A slightly chilly morning breeze blew through, scattering the mist.

A Scaled Frog spawned ahead. Nie Yan approached it and attacked its back, but without using any skills, focusing all his attention on the movements in the forest.

That guy's stealth ability was pretty good. With his high perception, he still hadn't discovered his opponent's location.

After a while, the Scaled Frog fell to the ground under Nie Yan's normal attacks and Bleed damage.

Still not making a move?

Nie Yan walked towards the next Scaled Frog. The guy following him in stealth was really patient. He had deliberately left some openings, but the other party still hadn't made a move, just following behind him.

Good patience. That guy might be a tricky opponent.

Nie Yan continued to search for the next Scaled Frog, and suddenly discovered that the aura behind him was gone.

Could it be that he had left?

Nie Yan sent a message to his teammates, telling them to be careful, and that anyone with a red name should not act alone. He also sent a message to Guo Huai, telling him to pay close attention to the movements of the Triumphant Return guild. If anyone from Triumphant Return came to the Scaled Frog respawn area, they could prepare in advance.

With the current level of Triumphant Return's members, they shouldn't risk sending a large force into the Scaled Frog respawn area.

The person Nie Yan encountered was probably a casual player.

Feeling that the other party might have gone far away, Nie Yan relaxed a little.

Nie Yan sent a message to Black Hell as usual, but unexpectedly, this time it went through.

"Hello," Nie Yan said in the message.

"Hello," Black Hell replied. Nie Yan had contacted him, obviously for the Chapter of Order.

This was a somewhat low voice. Nie Yan estimated that the other party was around thirty years old.

"I want to buy the Chapter of Order in your possession. What kind of conditions would you need to transfer it?" Nie Yan said directly. Having been in the game for so long, everyone was an understanding person and preferred to get straight to the point.

"Regarding the Chapter of Order, I will not sell it unless you beat me," Black Hell replied. Although Nie Yan was the guild leader of Asskickers United, he didn't care.

From Black Hell's words, Nie Yan roughly understood what kind of person this guy was. Black Hell seemed quite conceited.

Beat him? Nie Yan fiddled with the dagger in his hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"I don't want to make things too tense. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy," Nie Yan said in the voice channel. As the leader of a guild, it was necessary to be strong, but he couldn't make enemies everywhere, especially for a new guild like Asskickers United. Nie Yan still wanted to recruit Black Heaven and Black Hell. Black Heaven was a Holy Priest who was as famous as Big Brother Seven! He had to consider the future development of the guild.

"How about we make a bet?" Black Hell pondered for a moment and said. Although he was not afraid of Asskickers United, he just wanted to play the game quietly. If he was endlessly hunted down by Asskickers United in the future, his life would probably not be peaceful. This went against his original intention.

"What bet?" Nie Yan asked.

"Whoever wins between us, the Chapter of Order will belong to them. After that, we'll go our separate ways," Black Hell said. One good thing about Faith was that if you encountered an irresolvable dispute, you could use a bet to solve it. The bet was judged fairly by the main system and forcibly executed, so there was no problem of one party reneging on the agreement.

Nie Yan smiled and said, "Don't you think that's unfair? I have four Chapters of Order, but you only have one. At the same time, you're restricting me from using the power of the guild, but you haven't paid anything." The strength of the two sides was unequal. Nie Yan was the guild leader. If he lost the Chapter of Order, he could use the power of the guild to summon countless underlings to find it back. But what had Black Hell paid? So this bet was unfair.

"Then tell me what to do," Black Hell said. He wanted to hear what Nie Yan had to say. If he could solve it with a bet, that would be the best. If not, he would not hesitate to fight. He had never been afraid of anyone.

"You have a companion named Black Heaven, right?" Nie Yan asked. Black Heaven and Black Hell should be together.

Black Hell's heart tightened, and he asked in a cold voice, "How do you know?" His and Black Heaven's actions had always been secretive, and few people knew their movements. They didn't know anyone in the guild, but Nie Yan was able to find them. It was really not simple.

"I naturally have my ways," Nie Yan said, very satisfied with the effect he had created. "How about we change the bet? If I win, I get the Chapter of Order in your hands, and you and Black Heaven leave the Dark Ranger Guild and join Asskickers United. If I lose, your four Chapters of Order belong to you, and I won't use the power of the guild to hunt you down. I can even help you collect the remaining Chapter of Order." This kind of bet should be considered fair.

"It's impossible for me to leave the Dark Ranger Guild," Black Hell rejected. Although Nie Yan's bet was already quite generous.

"The Dark Ranger Guild has long been in decline. With your skills, is it worth staying in the Dark Ranger Guild?" Nie Yan asked. He was very puzzled as to why Black Hell was so determined.

"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not," Black Hell said. "I will not leave the Dark Ranger Guild. As for Black Heaven, I can agree to the bet on his behalf."

Nie Yan thought for a moment. Black Heaven alone was enough. Black Hell probably had some unavoidable difficulties and couldn't leave the Dark Ranger Guild. He had never heard of the name Black Hell in his previous life, but the name Black Heaven was well-known. One of the Seven Great Holy Priests. If he could get him to join Asskickers United, that would be enough.

Holy Priests were the ultimate power in the game, enough to determine the success or failure of a war. This was the reason why Nie Yan was willing to recruit Black Heaven at all costs.

Black Hell could make decisions for Black Heaven. Could it be that Black Heaven and Black Hell, Black Hell was stronger?

But even if Black Hell was stronger, he was just a Shadow Priest. The role of a Shadow Priest in a guild was definitely not as good as that of a Light Priest.

"I agree to your conditions," Nie Yan said. Although he could only win over one Black Heaven, it was enough. Using a PK to decide the ownership of the Chapter of Order and a Holy Priest. It was quite an interesting thing.

Nie Yan sent the bet over, and both of them signed the bet.

After signing the bet, there was no question of hatred. Both sides could do their best. Since it was a one-on-one fight, Nie Yan had nothing to fear.

"I'll find you in no more than twenty minutes," Black Hell said, and then cut off the voice channel.

He'll be here in twenty minutes at most. It seems that the other party is already nearby. Nie Yan wandered around in the jungle, occasionally killing one or two Scaled Frogs, waiting for Black Hell to come over.

In the jungle, a Light Priest and a Shadow Priest were chatting in the forest.

"Brother, if you lose, do I really have to go to Asskickers United?" Black Heaven asked, feeling a little黯然. He understood Black Hell's thoughts. Black Hell didn't want to become his obstacle.

"Remember, no matter where you go, you must abide by the words 'faith' and 'righteousness'. The Dark Ranger Guild is not the Dark Ranger Guild it used to be. The rest of those people are all bastards. I shouldn't have handed the Dark Ranger Guild over to Grayscale in the first place," Black Hell said despondently.

Black Heaven sighed softly. He understood Black Hell's feelings for the Dark Ranger Guild, and there was still one person in the Dark Ranger Guild. Although that person had already married, Black Hell had once promised to protect her for the rest of his life.

Whether it was faith or emotion, it no longer mattered.

"Brother, you should have a broader space for development. Soar through the world, not follow me," Black Hell patted Black Heaven's shoulder, his voice lonely and desolate.
