Chapter 1139 Mountains

Lord Grim had returned to the Realm of Gods once more, but the club guilds in the tenth server were left shrouded in layer after layer of shadow.

He came back at level 50, leaving behind four records.

So, what about level 52? It seemed like he could come back and refresh the dungeon records for levels 51-52.

At level 54, there would be dungeon records for levels 53-54.

And then there was level 55, and after level 55, level 60… until level 70.

Lord Grim was gone, but his spirit of breaking records remained. Would all the club guilds in the tenth server be unable to obtain any records until level 70? If that were the case, what difference would there be between them and ordinary player guilds? Who in the tenth server would think they were particularly powerful?

Come to think of it, it seemed like that was already the situation.

Compared to the Realm of Gods, or any of the other ordinary servers from one to nine, the status of the club guilds in the tenth server was undoubtedly the lowest.

Where did their main popularity in the tenth server come from? First, players directly brought from their own guilds. Second, some veteran players who were starting over in the tenth server were attracted by the club guilds' reputation. Although the new server was mostly made up of new players, there were also old players like Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian who came to play in the new server. Of course, they knew the names of the club guilds. Just the name itself was very attractive.

Then, they could have their moment of glory by snatching the first kill in dungeons. Their guild players would always be at the forefront of the level rankings.

Then, and then, there was nothing else.

The place where they shone the most, the place that best reflected the strength of the guild: dungeon records. Everyone in the tenth server knew that Lord Grim dominated this. Even the club guilds secretly admitted this in their hearts. Otherwise, why would no one dare to compete fairly with Lord Grim's team? They were always trying to use some obstructive and restrictive means.

Without dungeon records, it was really difficult for the guilds to directly impress the players with their strength. In the tenth server, new players only knew individuals, not guilds. Even if the Excellent Era guild continuously held several dungeon records, players would only think it was because Lord Grim was there. Excellent Era might not necessarily make people feel how strong they were.

The players in the tenth server already had this thought: wherever Lord Grim was, the dungeon record was there.

This completely twisted the concept of dungeon records. Something that needed a team to create had become a place for individual heroism in the eyes of the new players in the tenth server. The record did not belong to the team, only to Lord Grim alone.

Even when Lord Grim went to the Realm of Gods at level 50, the mood of the various club guilds wasn't much better.

Because the concept of the tenth server had been completely twisted by the existence of Lord Grim, and Lord Grim's mythical image had been completely ingrained in people's hearts.

In the days to come, even if the major guilds held dungeon records, the players in the tenth server would have one thought in their minds: you only got it because Lord Grim didn't show up.

Lord Grim was a mountain peak. It was useless to go around it or climb over it. It stood there, forever admired. If you wanted to replace it, you could only flatten it, or have a higher peak than it.

A higher peak? None of the guild leaders had this idea. That was Ye Qiu! He was a peak that no one in the professional circle could surpass. What were they doing, a bunch of small fries in the online game, shouting about surpassing Ye Qiu? Were they telling a joke?

Flatten it? Just thinking about it brought tears to their eyes. The guys who tried to flatten it were now piled up at the foot of the mountain, their corpses making the mountain even more terrifying.

The pitiful guilds understood this principle, but they were helpless. They had no choice but to silently bypass it, silently continue to move forward. They wanted to go far, far away, to a place where they couldn't see this peak, so that it would be forgotten.

But right at this moment, Lord Grim brushed back from the Realm of Gods, and with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, he broke four more records. The peak was in front of them again, and it seemed like it would continue to appear constantly from now on. The major guilds finally understood that this wasn't a mountain peak, it was a mountain range, continuous and endless, extending to the end of the world.

The branch guilds in the tenth server were crying. They desperately hoped that the main guilds in the Realm of Gods would hurry up and exert their strength, and forever, forever prevent this guy from turning over. But did the main guilds in the Realm of Gods have the mood to care about the feelings of the branch guilds in the tenth server? No, they didn't. They were playing the game of "whoever doesn't make a move loses, but whoever makes the first move also loses."

Ye Xiu was leveling up again at this time. Chen Guo was accompanying him with Chasing Haze, and Lin Shanshui was also there, along with the four players pretending to be experts. Chen Guo had already received four suitable account cards and given them to the four people. The four people took the new accounts, transferred their previous friendships, and ran over to follow in the footsteps of the great god.

After learning that the great god would definitely form a guild in the future, the four immediately decisively stopped transferring guild relationships, waiting for the great god's guild to be established so they could join directly.

In these past few days, the 24 account cards that Ma Chenyi of Hongtai Internet Cafe had lost were also sent over by someone. They were all characters from the Realm of Gods, one of each. Ma Chenyi wasn't too petty. He handed over the accounts in the same condition as when he received them, without stripping off the equipment or coins.

Among the 24 accounts, seven were empty, and the rest had some equipment. Chen Guo looked at each one, and they were all very ordinary. Anyway, she hadn't made any demands on this prize at the time, so Ma Chenyi certainly wouldn't specially collect a fancy account.

"We can form a guild now…" Chen Guo said. 24 account cards meant 24 characters. Adding the four friends, her, Lin Shanshui, and Lord Grim, that was three extra.

"There's no rush. We could have built it earlier," Ye Xiu said.

"I know, I'm just saying. Do you use these accounts now?" Chen Guo looked at each one and was tidying up the 24 account cards.

"Not now, but there will always be a time when we need them," Ye Xiu said.

"Just give the Battle Mage to Little Tang, right?" Chen Guo took out the Battle Mage account card.

"No need. It's best for her to explore her way up step by step. This way, she can familiarize herself with the new skills one step at a time, which is better for beginners. If all the skills are piled on at once, the understanding won't be as deep," Ye Xiu said.

"Then what about Mu Mu?" Chen Guo took out the Gunner account card.

"Her? She's very particular about names. I'm afraid she won't like the name of this Gunner," Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah, and it's a male account." Chen Guo had taken a closer look at this Gunner. The character was a man, and his appearance was designed with a big, bushy beard. She couldn't tolerate Su Mucheng using such an account.

"Has Zha Lou Lan sent a message yet?" Chen Guo asked, after packing up the account cards.

"Not yet."

"He promised today," Chen Guo said.

"Today is still long," Ye Xiu said calmly.

"If he doesn't agree, what's your backup plan?" Chen Guo asked. In Ye Xiu's plan, joining forces with Zha Lou Lan was an important part. Because the previous feints couldn't last long, and the major guilds would eventually be unable to resist taking action. Take Liu Hao's side, for example. They could just bite the bullet and come to die once, and they could directly measure how many helpers Ye Xiu had by his side, and how terrible they were. This was definitely not what Ye Xiu wanted to see, because he didn't have a single helper by his side. From beginning to end, he was the only one playing the clone trick.

"If he refuses…" Ye Xiu had only said half a sentence when a new message popped up. He switched over to take a look. It was Zha Lou Lan.

Ye Xiu didn't have time to speak and responded quickly. Chen Guo also held her breath and stared intently.

"After careful consideration for a few days…" Zha Lou Lan sent a message.

"Stop with the suspense!" Chen Guo slapped the table.

Ye Xiu had already smiled and turned his head to say, "So it should be good news!"

Sure enough, Zha Lou Lan quickly sent a message expressing his agreement to cooperate with Ye Xiu.

"Happy to cooperate," Ye Xiu replied.

"Haha, after several days of careful consideration, I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant," Zha Lou Lan replied.

"What are you planning to do next?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Of course, I'll drag you into the guild first. Where are you?" Zha Lou Lan asked.

The two sides agreed on a place to meet. Zha Lou Lan was leading four people again, giving Chen Guo another reason to despise this guy for showing off.

Afterwards, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim joined Zha Lou Lan's guild: Righteous Ambition. Chen Guo followed Ye Xiu's arrangement and didn't join for the time being, continuing to act as a wandering soldier in the Realm of Gods with Lin Shanshui.

"If you two have time, you can refresh the various Glory forums and esports websites later," Zha Lou Lan said to Ye Xiu and Chen Guo with a smile.

"Are you already starting to build momentum for the team's announcement?" Ye Xiu smiled.

"Well, now I'd like to trouble you, Great God, to spar with our brothers," Zha Lou Lan said.

"You still want to test if I'm the real deal?" Ye Xiu said.

"A little bit, but more importantly, I want to use this to measure our level. Please give us your guidance, Great God," Zha Lou Lan's tone was quite humble, and the title of Great God seemed to show that he already believed Ye Xiu was Ye Qiu.

"Hehe, no problem. What class do you want to fight?" Ye Xiu asked.

"What class?" Zha Lou Lan was stunned.

"Yeah, any class is fine," Ye Xiu said.

"Because you're a unspecialized?" Zha Lou Lan said.

"No… it's because I have 24 class account cards in my hand," Ye Xiu said, while gesturing for Chen Guo to hand over the stack of account cards.

"Saying you'd use them, and you really used them." Chen Guo was speechless.

Zha Lou Lan was also slightly confused for a moment, and after a long while, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Then let's go to the arena and open a room first. Great God, leave a contact method outside the game so it's easier to change accounts."

"Okay." Ye Xiu nodded. Outside the game, the two added each other on QQ.
