Chapter 47

The melee at the entrance of the Lava Rift was extremely brutal. Under the stunned gazes of Lingjie Ye Hang and others, Li Huailin braved the barrage of fireballs and arrows, killing over twenty people before finally turning into a white light and respawning.

"Huff, huff..." On this side, Jiuge was relatively lucky. Li Huailin didn't kill him twice, but each time he dealt with Li Huailin, Jiuge felt as if he had fought a super boss, leaving him completely drained.

"How bad are the losses?" Jiuge looked at the group behind him, which was less than half of what it was, and asked.

"This time, twenty-seven people died, losing three blue items and eleven green items. Although we had our teammates nearby try their best to pick up the dropped equipment, we only managed to recover one blue item and four green items..." a member of the Mieshi guild replied.

"Damn!" Jiuge couldn't help but curse, then reported the guild's losses to the guild leader Wentian, who was at the respawn point.

"Damn it!" Being sent back to the respawn point twice in a row, and this time being ambushed for no reason, the guild leader of the Mieshi guild, Wentian, was almost losing his mind. "Jiuge, call up the second, third, and fourth teams. If one team can't take him down, I'll send 200 people to surround him! I don't believe I can't kill him in one hit."

"Hey, leader, sending fifty people to surround one person is already a huge risk. Fortunately, everyone in this team is our own people and won't spread the word. But the second, third, and fourth teams have freelancers. If someone posts on the forum, 'Amazing Guy single-handedly takes on the Mieshi guild's four teams,' how will our guild survive?" Jiuge, seeing Wentian's loss of control, quickly said, "Also, the Lingjie people already know and are watching from the side. Leader, I'm worried we'll become a laughingstock among the big guilds."

"This..." Hearing Jiuge's words, Wentian calmed down and thought about it. It was indeed true. Even if they managed to send the opponent back to the newbie village, their guild would still suffer. Not to mention the cost, it would also damage their reputation. What big guilds value most is not equipment or money, but reputation. Many big guilds are tackling hell-level dungeons, not for the few pieces of equipment, but for the fame and reputation.

If one team chases a single person and is still taken down by more than half, the news will spread, and everyone will praise the Amazing Guy. Our guild will become the backdrop for his glory and be mocked by other big guilds.

"Oh? You're the leader of the Mieshi guild who chased Amazing Guy with a whole team and was still taken down by half?"

Wentian imagined the ridicule he would face, frowned, and knew this couldn't happen. But thinking of Li Huailin's arrogant attitude, a surge of anger rose in him.

"You're right, Jiuge." Wentian first acknowledged Jiuge's words to show he hadn't lost his mind. "But Jiuge, this isn't us starting trouble; it's that guy who's causing trouble for us. He wants our territory. Should we just give it to him? If that news spreads, we'll really have no face left."

"Leader, I think this is easy to solve." Jiuge said, "That guy said he came for the Flame Flower. Let him pick it."

"Let him pick it?" Wentian was taken aback.

"Yes, no matter how amazing he is, he's just one person. How can one person pick as fast as hundreds of us? We'll send a reconnaissance team to follow him. As soon as he arrives, the team will notify the people there to retreat, and the others will continue working. How much can he gain?"

"Hmm..." Wentian nodded and said, "Continue."

"If he brings people to pick, we'll just wipe them out. Amazing Guy's friends can't be as strong as he is." Jiuge smiled. "It's just one person competing for the flowers, and our losses won't be too great, maybe ten flowers a day at most."

"But isn't this a bit too cowardly?" Wentian frowned. "He's taken me down twice, twice. How can I let this go?"

"Leader, think about it. We've also taken him down twice, and he's the one who initiated the attack, losing 40% of his experience." Jiuge advised. "Leader, I know you're angry, but we need to consider the guild's interests. Continuing like this won't benefit the guild's development. Look, almost everyone in the first team has died, losing over twenty pieces of equipment. It will take half a day to recover the equipment and levels, and we'll fall half a day behind our competing guilds. If we keep this up, who knows how many more half-days we'll lose."

"Damn it!" Wentian shouted. "Jiuge, you handle it. I'm going offline to have a drink, or I'll be suffocated."

"Sure, leader." Jiuge smiled. "This time, you've been wronged."

"There's no wronging. Everything for the guild." Wentian said. "But this isn't over. I won't let him off the hook at the first opportunity. Rest assured, I'll think of a way to deal with him next time."

"Of course, we just suffered a loss this time. There's plenty of time. I don't believe there won't be a chance for us to get even." Jiuge said fiercely.

"Right." Wentian nodded, sighed slightly, and logged off.

Back at the main city respawn point, Li Huailin, who had just respawned, began to count his gains.

"Two blue items, seven green items." Li Huailin looked at the items in his bag, his eyes smiling. "Now I finally know how to make money. This game is played like this. I didn't know the trick before. Hurry up."

Finally having a chance to make money, Li Huailin quickly ran to the bank and stored all his items, then picked up the bronze sword and rushed back to the Lava Rift.

After ten minutes, Li Huailin arrived at the entrance of the Lava Rift again. Strangely, he thought the Mieshi guild would be waiting for him, but he didn't see a single person from the Mieshi guild. Instead, Lingjie Ye Hang and a few others were still standing there.

"Huailin." Seeing Li Huailin run over, Lingjie Ye Hang waved with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "I knew you'd come back. Today, I've seen something amazing. One person fighting fifty and killing over twenty. Are you planning to get rich by picking up equipment?"

"Ah? I thought I was the only one who had such a great idea. It seems great minds think alike. How about it, do you want to make some money? We can team up?" Li Huailin smiled.

"Attacking first drops 20% experience, and you've already lost 40%." Ye Hang shook his head. "I'm a guild player, different from you. For us, the guild provides equipment, and level is more important than equipment. Besides, I don't lack money. These few items are a lot for a solo player, but not for a guild."

"Right now, it's just a dozen or so items, but once I wipe out their whole team, that's when I'll get rich." Li Huailin smiled. "If you're not interested, I'll go ahead."

"You really had me worried. Yesterday, I was afraid you'd be bullied by big guilds because of the guide, but today, you're the one provoking them." Ye Hang patted his head. "But seriously, we Lingjie can't get involved. Mieshi isn't as big as our guild, but it's still a major guild. Be careful you don't get sent back to the newbie village."

"It's fine, it's fine." Li Huailin really hoped they would come after him. "This is a personal matter. Lingjie, don't get involved. I can handle it alone, really."

"I see their people have gone inside. I don't know what they're planning. Be careful." Ye Hang pointed to the inside of the Lava Rift. "By the way, here are fifteen sets of health potions. I read your report, and it was very useful. Thank you."

Saying that, Ye Hang opened a trade window and placed fifteen sets of health potions.

Although Li Huailin didn't want to take the health potions right away, as he was coming to die, he didn't want to keep meeting Lingjie people. After some thought, he agreed. At most, he would lose one set, but he was making a lot of money now, so he shouldn't be so stingy.

"Let's talk about it next time. I'm going to fight now." Li Huailin took the health potions and ran into the Lava Rift.
