Hu Die Lan

Chapter 150 Nervous Like a Novice

Only Gu Yin wasn't knocked down. Although the other guild leaders might not have been as impulsive as him, offering such an outrageous price of eight complete sets of class equipment, their eight-set offers were also instantly rejected. What more earth-shattering actions could they come up with? The guild leaders queuing up for rejection weren't pretending now; their curses were genuine. Unlike Gu Yin, they mostly complained about how black-hearted Lord Grim was. However, after his insane offer of eight sets of class equipment was rejected, Gu Yin calmed down and started thinking like Blue River: did this Lord Grim have some other intention?

"Hey, do you think this guy has some other intention this time?" At this moment, two other guild leaders were also exchanging information, Night Cold Pool and Blue River.

These two hadn't made any bids in the great auction. They were quietly observing. Blue River had experienced it firsthand, infiltrating the Samsara Guild. When Night Cold Pool suddenly came to him with this question, Blue River immediately guessed that Tyrannical Ambition wasn't simple either, probably having a trump card in some guild.

Compared to the other guild leaders, these two were undoubtedly the most rational and calm, the two whose thinking was the closest. So Night Cold Pool specifically came to Blue River to exchange information.

"I originally thought he was trying to raise his price by pretending to retreat, but now it doesn't seem like it…" Blue River said.

"I found that the people he's been with several times, named Tian Qi and Moon Mid-Night, are all from this Moonlight Guild. They seem like old acquaintances," Night Cold Pool said.

"That's probably not necessarily true. When he was called Moon Mid-Night, he was reportedly robbed of monsters by Lord Grim in the beginner village and cursed Lord Grim outside the dungeon. Later, he ended up joining him," Blue River said, mentioning this incident.

"There was such a thing!" Night Cold Pool's attention to Lord Grim came later than Blue River's, missing this past.

"Yeah."

"But no matter what, now it finally seems like they're friends. Maybe it's just a friendship card," Night Cold Pool said.

"Is that so…" If it really was a friendship card, then Blue River would be very depressed. He had also wanted to play this card at the beginning, but he didn't succeed. Now it was actually played by the Moonlight Guild, a guild he didn't even consider, making his sense of frustration even stronger.

"No matter what, the record for Livelihood Lands will probably fall into the hands of this Moonlight Guild," Night Cold Pool said.

"Yeah…" Blue River didn't doubt Lord Grim's strength at all.

Livelihood Lands.

The Level 28-30 dungeon was an abandoned castle located in the leveling area of Livelihood Lands. A group of bandits who were the most domineering in Livelihood Lands used it as their base, so it became a dungeon.

This dungeon started at Level 28, and Lord Grim's group had, of course, run it many times. But now that there was a new member, Maple Forest, in order to integrate this Gunslinger class character into the team, the strategy naturally had to be modified.

If it were a regular player team, suddenly changing a character might cause some problems, but with a pro god like Ye Xiu, he could easily design the most suitable strategy for any combination of classes. Replacing a member was no big deal for him.

"This dungeon run is just experimental. We'll adjust our strategy based on Maple Forest," Ye Xiu said to everyone after entering Livelihood Lands.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I've run this dungeon countless times. I know it like the back of my hand," Maple Forest said heroically.

"Is that so! Then let's start, and I'll command!" Ye Xiu said.

"No problem! Tell me!" Maple Forest said.

"Steamed Bun, eight o'clock. Soft Mist, ten o'clock. Boundless Ocean, go pull the front corner. Maple Forest, go to the right stone window. I'll attack whichever one, and you follow my lead."

"Wait, wait, what kind of strategy is this?" Maple Forest was dumbfounded. There were two thugs in the eight o'clock direction that Steamed Bun Invasion was going to, and two thieves in the ten o'clock direction that Soft Mist was going to. The so-called "front corner" that Boundless Ocean was going to had four NPCs, either thugs or thieves, playing cards on the ground. He was supposed to pull them now? And what about him, the right stone window… there were also two thugs drinking in the middle of the way! How could he get to the stone window without alarming those two NPCs?

"If we don't play like this, we probably won't be able to break the dungeon record," Ye Xiu said.

Their team's equipment couldn't compare to the Blue Brook Guild team that currently held the dungeon record. The five members of that team were all equipped with class sets and Level 30 purple weapons. Their output had reached a high point, allowing them to achieve the current record of 30 minutes, 45 seconds, and 66 milliseconds. The other guild teams following them were at the same equipment level, and were close to the first place record. That was indeed the limit for ordinary players running Livelihood Lands.

If Ye Xiu's team used ordinary methods, they definitely wouldn't be able to surpass that record. They had to exploit their technical advantages to break it. Just like when they ran Frost Forest, Ye Xiu relied on his skills to perform a one-wave clear that ordinary players couldn't achieve, which was how he left the other teams' records in the dust. If he played the same way as ordinary player teams, then he, the great god, wouldn't be any different from ordinary experts, and the final result wouldn't stand out.

"You can break it like this? Isn't this suicide?" Maple Forest kept complaining.

"Hehe, just do as I say. I'll explain to you as we fight. Everyone, let's go." After Ye Xiu said this, the three of them rushed out, but Maple Forest was still staring blankly at the two thugs drinking, "How do I get past that stone window?"

"Fly up with a flying gun," Ye Xiu said.

"Those two thugs…"

"They'll be gone soon." As Ye Xiu said this, his Lord Grim had already rushed out, sweeping his battle lance to bring the two thieves in the one o'clock direction into the attack. Then, he turned around and fired two shots, "bang bang." The two drinking thugs were also alarmed, throwing their wine bottles at Lord Grim before running towards him.

"You're aggroing four monsters at once?" Maple Forest was shocked. When he led the team here, the eight NPCs in this area were fought in pairs. Now, this team was good, one person aggroing two, Lord Grim aggroing four, and that wasn't enough. He even told the Gunners to pull the four at the front corner. That made a total of twelve NPCs. Maple Forest had the urge to quit the dungeon.

"Aren't you going up yet? If we're really going for the record, you're already wasting a lot of time," Ye Xiu said while continuing his operations, Lord Grim handling the four elite monsters in the dungeon with ease.

Maple Forest ran towards the window like an idiot, but his gaze was fixed on Lord Grim's monster fighting. It wasn't until he ran into the wall that he realized what he was doing.

"Use flying gun to get up. You've wasted a lot of time like this. You've been aggroing monsters for more than ten seconds, and you haven't done anything yet!" Ye Xiu said.

"When you're using the flying gun, try to attack the monsters as much as possible. Don't waste those shots," Ye Xiu instructed.

"Oh, oh…" Maple Forest's initial confidence when he entered the dungeon had vanished in these ten seconds. Lord Grim was fighting four monsters alone, and Steamed Bun Invasion and Soft Mist were also fighting two monsters each. Maple Forest took a look and realized that they weren't just pulling the monsters. They were actually killing them, while also leading them in the direction they needed to go.

Maple Forest didn't dare to be negligent and quickly prepared to jump onto the stone window. But at this moment, he was shocked and his hands trembled slightly. He didn't calculate the distance properly, and he didn't control his strength well enough. He jumped up and just stuck to the wall. He slid down like a gecko.

Ye Xiu's heart sank. Maple Forest was at least the leader of a guild. He didn't expect him to have the same level of skill as Tang Rou and Steamed Bun, but he should at least be as skilled as Tian Qi and Moon Mid-Night! But he couldn't even jump through this window. Could he be a noob?

Ye Xiu was even more shocked than Maple Forest. If he was a noob, it would be terrible. He knew that this record relied mainly on skill. If Maple Forest was skilled, he could only be assigned to do some support work. If he was a noob, then it would be really difficult!

"You can't jump up, can you?" Ye Xiu asked.

"No, I'm just a little nervous…" Maple Forest said.

"Nervous about what?"

"Your strategy is too much," Maple Forest said.

"Calm down, there's more to come," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh."

"Jump up quickly," Ye Xiu said while staring intently at him. He wanted to see Maple Forest's skill level. If he was really a noob, then he had to replace him. Newbies weren't scary; newbies who pretended to know everything were the scariest.

Maple Forest took a good distance this time and jumped decisively, landing steadily. Ye Xiu saw that his distance and strength control were very good, so he wasn't really a noob.

"I said, use the flying gun! Why did you jump directly?" But he still had to point out the problem.

"Oh, oh, I forgot. Should we start over?" Maple Forest said.

"Let's start over. Practice a bit while we're at it. It might not be easy to fly up with a flying gun. If you really can't get up, then do it that way!" Ye Xiu said.

"I can do it, I can do it," Maple Forest said quickly.

The flying gun technique was to fly backwards, and you needed to control the gun to control your flying distance and height. The landing point all depended on experience, and there was no time to turn your head and check the view while you were flying.

Maple Forest jumped down from the stone window, taking a good distance. Ye Xiu glanced at his position and immediately asked, "How many shots are you going to fire?"

"Six shots…" Maple Forest said.

"Six shots will hit your head."

"Hit my head?"

"Too high… you won't be able to get into the window," Ye Xiu said.

"Is that so? Then should I go a little further?"

"Get a little closer. Five shots should be enough," Ye Xiu said.

"Here?" Maple Forest moved a step.

"Okay."

"Okay!" Maple Forest responded, stood in position, jumped, turned around in the air, and fired his gun. The bullets from his revolver flew wildly, and the thrust from the five shots sent him into the stone window.

At this time, the four small monsters that Su Mucheng had aggroed at the corner had also been brought over. The four of them quickly gathered the twelve monsters together and attacked quickly. Maple Forest squatted in the window, feeling lonely. He wasn't just there to be a background.

"Maple Forest, did you notice the two in the center of the attack circle?" Finally, the voice instructing him what to do came.
