Chapter 30
[You want to come too? Sure, come whenever you want.]
Although Mu He didn't want Suifeng, a priest with no healing power, to join his team, he would still consider having a group with friends in the game in real life.
He brought Qie Shi Tianxia into the team, and after some discussion among the four of them, they set the time for the meeting at 2 pm tomorrow.
Gather near the subway first, and then go to Yuan Yitong's home together.
As for today, Yuan Yitong, with the help of his guild members, collected all the fairy wings, and Shi Tianxia also brought people to collect all the demon goat horns that Mu He wanted.
Mu He and Sui Feng, both level 25, could do nothing on the level 40-60 maps and could only look for people to run dungeons.
System Announcement: [Congratulations to Death Hymn Guild players Demon Swordsman Mu He (level 25), Demon Priest Sui Feng (level 25), Demon Assassin Yi Hit Kill (level 25), Dragon Mage Shen Yu Luo Yan (level 25), and Demon Assassin Bi Yue Xiu Hua (level 25) for breaking the level 25 five-player dungeon Tian Suo Lian Bridge in 24 minutes, 21 seconds and 58 seconds.]
System Announcement: [Congratulations to Rosemary Sea Guild players Dragon Mage Shenyu Luoyan (Level 25), Demon Swordsman Mu He (Level 26), Demon Priest Suifeng (Level 26), Demon Assassin Yibo Bishou (Level 25), and Demon Assassin Biyuexiuhua (Level 25) for breaking the Level 25 five-player dungeon Tiansuo Lianqiao in 23 minutes, 59 seconds and 14 seconds.]
There was only half an hour between these two system announcements. The guild that set the record changed, but the person who cleared the dungeon did not change, which caused a commotion.
"Fuck, what's going on? Are Death Hymn and Rosemary Sea breaking each other's records?!" @Infinite Good Articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
"When did these two guilds get mixed up?"
"Who knows?"
"Death Hymn is truly modest. They gave up both the Nether Cave and Skylock Bridge records to Rosemary, and are content with just taking second place."
"Come on, I think there must be some hidden secret between these two guilds!"
Haoqi, the president of the Wantonger Guild, was so arrogant that he led his team to clear the Tiansuo Lianqiao three times, but he failed to break the record set by Mu He and others in the first attempt. He thought that it would be okay to be second, as long as there was exposure. Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by two new records as soon as he finished thinking this. He was so angry!
He immediately brought the presidents of the Feixuan and Chixue guilds into the team.
Haoqi is frivolous: [Muhe is really going too far! ]
Feiyu: [Hey, isn't it just another instance record that's been taken over? Is that that serious?]
Red Blood Battle: [That's right. You're not the only ones who can't break their record.]
Noble and frivolous: [……]
Feixuan and Chixue, along with Qingkuang, are one of the three strongest teams. They have been competing with each other for years and are obviously not so easy to win over.
Haoqi Qingkuang tried to appeal to his feelings: "Mu He is truly shameless! I spent all our resources to recruit him to join our guild, and what happened? He got the materials and then he quit! So he came to our guild just to steal the materials?!"
Feiyu: [That's not right, Lao Hao. Didn't you let him join your guild just to help you break dungeon records? Didn't he help you break them?]
Haoqi is frivolous: [This...]
The Wanton Guild still holds the third spot on the Nether Cave clearance record list. That record was set by Mu He and his men.
Red Blood Battle scoffed. "He quit so quickly, which means your guild didn't give him any particularly rare materials? A bunch of crappy materials in exchange for a dungeon record—who's losing more? Ha, don't be so gullible."
Feiyu: [Well said. And only you guys are so reckless as to recruit people to help break records. Not only did you do it, but you even brazenly talk about it. Don't you feel any shame?]
Haoqi rolled his eyes arrogantly, never expecting that these two people's mouths were more poisonous than Mu He's.
He didn't give up and decided to reason with them: "Okay, we were reckless and brought bad luck upon ourselves, but are you willing to watch all the dungeon records be taken by Death Anthem, a quack guild that appeared out of nowhere?"
Feiyu and Chixue Zhan did not speak, as if they were thinking.
Haoqi Qingkuang thought there was a chance, and continued, "And look at these two dungeon records today. It's obvious that Death Hymn and Rosemary are killing each other! Why can they team up, but we can't?"
Feiyu: [Because even if we join forces, we can't break the record.]
Noble and frivolous: [……]
[But these two people, Rosemary...] Chixue Zhanshuai paused and continued, [A beauty as stunning as the stars in the sky and as beautiful as the moon and flowers. A dragon mage and a demon assassin. Don't you think this combination looks familiar?]

Feiyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: [You are suspecting...]
Red Blood Battle: [Yes, I suspect some professional players have been eliminated.]
Feiyu: [The scattered flowers are enchanting and the shadows are sparse.]
Red Blood Battle: [Yeah.]
Haoqi Qingkuang blinked his eyes, not realizing what it meant. "Shenyu Luoyan" and "Bieyuexiuhua" were the words "bewitching flowers" and "sparse shadows"?
No way? These two people were clearly following Mu He, and they had taken refuge with Midori to avoid being hunted down by their reckless and frivolous guild.
While I was still thinking, I heard Chixue Zhanhua say, "I suddenly remembered I have something else to do, so I'll log off first."
Without waiting for Haoqi's frivolous response, Feiyu said again: [I have something to do too, I'm leaving now.]
As soon as the words fell, both of them went offline, leaving Haoqi Qingkuang alone, disheveled in the wind.
What the hell is this?!
It seems that there is no hope of winning over Feixuan and Chixue.
Yes, the three teams have been competing with each other for more than a year or two, and it is not so easy for them to unite because of a Death Hymn.
Not to mention that besides dominating dungeon records and slaughtering other players, Death Anthem hasn't done anything to truly harm the interests of other guilds...
Wait, slaughter other players?
Tsk, I almost forgot about this!
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Haoqi Qingkuang knows what to say next time when trying to win over other guilds!
But then again, there is also Yu Su, shouldn't he try to win her over as well?
The arena fight between the leader of the Rain Inn Guild and the administrator of Death Hymn had caused a sensation in the city. Now, every player in the new zone knew about it.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend - Haoqi Qingkuang tried to send a friend request to the president of Yuzhisu.
Soon I received a system prompt.
System: [Player Elf Mage Rain Stopped has rejected your friend request.]
Noble and frivolous: ???
*
A few minutes ago.
Just shortly after Yuguotianqing lost to Qieshitianxia using Yutingle's account.
The rain stopped and I called Rainy Day again: "Captain, um...are you okay?"
Yu Guotian Qing was silent for a moment, then spoke. His tone was as calm as ever, but he couldn't hide the dullness in his words: "Don't touch anyone from the Death Hymn anymore."
"Huh?" Yu Zhi thought he'd misheard. "Captain, are we just going to bow down to Death Hymn? We're still a guild affiliated with a top eight team, after all. If we just bow down to a red-name guild, where will Team Yu Su's reputation be?"
"I don't care." Yu Guotianqing said firmly, "Just tell me what I want. Don't touch the people of Death Hymn, especially... don't touch the cylinder."
"Captain, do you know the cylinder?"
Yu Guotianqing's attitude is so strange that it is hard not to be suspicious.
Yu Ti began to seriously doubt the relationship between his captain and Yuantong, as well as the relationship between Yuantong and Qie Shi Tianxia.
However, perhaps because Yu Guotianqing was hit hard today, he shouted at this question: "I told you not to move! Anyone who dares to touch him will be expelled from the guild!"
Okay.
The rain stopped, but he didn't dare ask again. After agreeing, he hurriedly hung up the phone, then logged into the game and said in the guild channel: "The captain said, from now on, no one is allowed to touch Yuantong. Anyone who dares to touch him will be expelled from the guild."
[Oh my god, what are you talking about... Who is the captain to Yuantong? ]
[Now that things have come to this, is there any need to speculate about their relationship?]
[I suspect that the massacre of our guild members by Qieshitianxia has nothing to do with Death Hymn.]
"I have my suspicions too—wasn't it just an excuse to stand up for the guild members? It's only because the one who got killed was the Cylinder that things got like this."
[Fuck, you mean... the drama of the year!]
The rain stopped and he looked at the messages scrolling in the guild channel, rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to explain.
As a fan of Rainy Days, he didn't want anyone to spread such rumors, even though he couldn't help but think so himself...
However, as the guild master of the Rain Inn Guild, he felt that this statement was better than the Rain Inn bowing to the Death Hymn.
He tried to send friend requests to the president and administrator of the Death Hymn Guild, but was rejected one after another.
Just at this time, Haoqi Qingkuang sent him a friend request, and he chose to refuse without thinking.
He knew with his toes what Haoqi Qingkuang was trying to do by sending him a friend request at this time, but their Yusu had already banned hostility towards the Death Hymn, so naturally there was no reason for them to form an alliance with Qingkuang.
However, even if the captain hadn't forbidden it, Yu Zhishi would not bother to join forces with any guild.
They have come to where they are today step by step, and they have always relied on themselves.
Every team has its own style, or in other words, team spirit.
If the frivolous team spirit is arrogance, flying is casualness, and red blood is fierceness, then Yu Su is aloofness.
When the rain stopped, I couldn't contact the management of Death Hymn, so I could only contact Yuantong, who had added me as a friend.
The rain stopped: [Don't worry about fighting the hidden boss. Our guild members won't touch you.]
Yuan Yitong was stunned for a moment after receiving this message. He guessed that it meant the sky would clear up after the storm and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I got it. Although now I have a bunch of bodyguards everywhere I go, you can't kill them even if you want to."
The rain stopped: [……]
Hearing that Yuan Yitong didn't understand what he meant, Yu Zhizhi could only speak more clearly: "Please help me talk to Qie Shi Tianxia and ask him to stop killing people from our guild."
Yuan Yitong: [Oh, so that's what you wanted to talk to me about. Okay, I'll pass on the message.]
The rain stopped: [Well, that's troublesome.]
Yuan Yitong has always been decisive and resolute. After finishing the conversation here, he immediately contacted Qie Shi Tianxia and conveyed the message.
Qie Shi Tian Xia just said "Oh" and said nothing else.
However, after a while, he added calmly: [Delete him.]
Yuan Yitong: [Huh?]
Qie Shi Tian Xia: [Tell him I know, and then delete his contact information to prevent him from bothering you again.]
Yuan Yitong: […You didn’t bother me that much, did you?]
Qie Shi Tian Xia: [Really? Then forget it. It’s up to you. Delete it if you want. Keep it if you want.]
Yuan Yitong: [……]
Yuan Yitong blinked, feeling something was odd – would a normal person care about who others added as friends?
Even if you are close friends, you won’t care much about this kind of thing, right?
He never paid attention to who was in Mu He's friend list...
But he didn't think much about it, and quickly focused his attention on the Fairy Queen in front of him and continued to collect materials.
As 11pm approached, Yuan Yitong felt sleepy. He packed up all the materials he had gathered and the half-made equipment, sent an email to Mu He, said goodnight, and logged off.
Soon, Qie Shi Tian Xia also gathered all the materials and sent an email to Mu He, asking him: [Is the cylinder offline?]
Mu He: [Yeah, offline. Girls can't stay up late.]
And Shi Tianxia laughed.
Mu He: [What's wrong?]
Qie Shi Tian Xia: [Nothing, just asking.] After a pause, [When do you sleep?]
"Me? Wait until I make the equipment..." Mu He said, then suddenly thought of something and paused, "I have something else to do... Anyway, it's almost time to go to bed. If you want to grind, you can find someone else."
[Okay.] Qieshi Tianxia responded and didn't send any more messages.
So Mu He concentrated on collecting materials, sent an email to Suifeng with the materials he wanted, and then went to the warehouse to take out his equipment. After spending some time, he finally upgraded both his and Yuan Yitong's equipment to level 20.
The custom equipment in "Yu Ling" has a variety of appearances to choose from. Mu He didn't care much about this and chose the default ones. As for the names of the equipment...
[Mu He's sword], [Mu He's clothes], [Mu He's shoes], [Mu He's gloves], [Mu He's cloak]...
——The names of Yuan Yitong’s equipment are also similar, such as [Cylindrical Wisdom Staff].
After he finished making the equipment, he put Yuan Yitong's equipment into the warehouse, put on his own equipment, and then sent a message to Suifeng: [Have you finished your equipment?]
Suifeng said "hmm".
Mu He: [All level 20 homemade equipment, no level 25 ones, right?]
[No.] Suifeng said, pausing for a moment. [Can I wear level 25 accessories?]
Mu He: [No.]
Suifeng: [So close?]
Mu He: [This one is allowed, but the others are not.]
[Okay, you decide.] Suifeng said, chuckling softly, [Then, let's get started.]
——They had agreed to go to the arena again once they had all the equipment.
If Suifeng wins, he will be able to join the team created by Mu He.
After Suifeng said that, he immediately challenged Mu He to a sparring match.
Mu He decisively clicked to accept.
System: [You have accepted the Demon Clan Priest Suifeng's sparring request and will be teleported to the arena in 10 seconds!]
Following this familiar system prompt, a familiar countdown box appeared in front of Mu He.
After a 10-second countdown, both of them were teleported to the arena by the system.
The homemade equipment flashed a mysterious and dangerous red light in the dim environment of the arena.
Two figures, one black and one white, stood quietly on the endless arena, giving me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Mu He was wearing a black robe, the hem of which was blown open by the wind, revealing the dark red color underneath.
Suifeng was dressed in a snow-white priest's attire, with bright red edging on the edges of his robe, which complemented the demonic marks on his face.
Mu He looked at him from afar, as if he saw himself back then, and was stunned for a moment.
However, before he could sigh to himself, he noticed the weapon in Suifeng's hand - it was not a cross used exclusively by priests, nor was it a staff or magic wand commonly used by magic professions.
But a sword.
What?
sword?!
A priest with a sword?!
This person is really poisonous!
