Chen Guo, who not long ago had secretly shed tears because of Ye Qiu's retirement, was no different from her usual self. After giving Ye Xiu a detailed introduction of what he needed to know, she casually found a computer and went to play Glory.
Ye Xiu stood not too far away and glanced around. He saw that Chen Guo had entered the Arena to PK, but she was clearly absent-minded. During the PK, she repeatedly made a few big mistakes, many of which were low-leveled. After losing three rounds in a row, Chen Guo clicked the keyboard and exited the game. She turned her head and saw Ye Xiu picking his teeth, pretending that he had nothing to do. After glaring at him, she ran back to the second floor.
Ye Xiu looked at the time. There wasn't much time left until 11 o 'clock when he started work. The little girl behind the counter clearly had a good grasp of the time. The Korean drama's progress bar was just right. Following the end of the episode, the time jumped to 11 o 'clock. The little girl stood up and smiled towards Ye Xiu: "Brother Ye, then I'll get off work?"
"Go, go!" Ye Xiu had been waiting for a computer for a long time. This little girl wasn't the only employee who got off work at 11 o 'clock. After all, the daytime and evening hours weren't as deserted as overnight hours. One person definitely couldn't take care of everything. Even though the Internet Cafe employees weren't familiar with Ye Xiu, they recognized him. After politely greeting him, they left one by one.
The Internet Cafe became exceptionally deserted. The sound of the keyboard and mouse clearly echoed. Compared to last night's new server, it was a completely different scene. Thinking that this was all because of his retirement, Ye Xiu lightly sighed and sat down at the counter.
He inserted his account card and logged into the game. As soon as he logged on, he received a series of messages. Ye Xiu opened it and saw that it was Seven Fields and his brothers who were lined up to greet him.
"Brother expert, you're here!"
Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water, the three of them sent the same greeting. Sleeping Moon wasn't there.
"You're all here?" Ye Xiu replied to the three of them.
"Uh, Sleeping Moon didn't come." Seven Fields replied.
"Are you being difficult again?" Ye Xiu thought of that guy.
"No, he's not in a good mood. Didn't Ye Qiu announce his retirement today? He likes Ye Qiu very much, so his mood is a bit down. He won't be coming to play tonight. "Tian Qi said.
Ye Xiu Really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that kid to be his fan. If he were to find out that he was Ye Qiu, and that he had been despicable and shameless to his idol, he wondered what that brat would think.
"If we lack a person, it won't be easy to kill the Hidden Boss in Spider Cave," Ye Xiu said.
"Just randomly form another one?" Seven Fields asked for expert bro's opinion.
"Why don't we go to the Skull Graveyard?" Ye Xiu suggested.
"Okay, okay!!" Seven Fields quickly agreed.
The Graveyard of Skeletons was a Level 15 – 20 Instance Dungeon. Seven Fields and the others had long wanted to go there. Moreover, they were counting on getting a few First Clears under Ye Xiu's leadership. However, Ye Xiu's thoughts and needs were different from theirs. For the glory of a First Clear, Ye Xiu didn't care at all. Moreover, if they wanted to get a First Clear, they had to maintain their level at the top. This was something that Ye Xiu couldn't do. It wasn't that his skill wasn't good enough, but that he didn't have enough time.
When they had logged off in the morning, Lord Grim had been ranked in the tenth server's top five at Level 18. But now? Ye Xiu opened up the rankings to take a look. Lord Grim's name had disappeared without a trace. The players at the top of the level rankings were all Level 22.
Why? Because the big guilds were organized to rush levels and snatch First Clears. An account would be used by two or three people at the same time. The characters would be online 24 hours a day. They played the tactic of taking turns to make up for their lack of skill. No matter how skilled Ye Xiu was, he couldn't beat them in this aspect.
It was because of these reasons that the First Clears in the normal servers weren't that valuable. Apart from the fact that the name looked good, it also reflected that the leveling speed of the team surpassed their skill and strength.
In comparison, what reflected a team's skill and strength was the Dungeon Clear Record.
This record had a time limit. At first, it was a time record set by the system. When a team broke the record, the team name and the new record time would be put up, and then the record would be changed again. This record breaking reward could be reclaimed repeatedly. Moreover, the reward was generous. It wasn't like the First Clear record, which only gave experience and money. It would 100% reward the team with at least one piece of Purple equipment, and other random rewards.
This Glory mode didn't exist in the beginner area. It would only appear in Level 20 and above dungeons after leaving the beginner area. Ye Xiu took a look. The First Clear of the Level 20 Frost Forest had already been completed. The original system record had already been set, and the number of times it had been set was marked at the back. Currently, it had been set three times. The team that was on the list was the team from Herb Garden. The record was 26: 12: 48, and the time was 18: 23 in the afternoon.
Ye Xiu scratched his head, a bit ashamed. He had a very vague impression of the situation in this dungeon, but he knew that this record would definitely be broken again. Right now, the highest level player was only Level 22. The final record would usually be set by a team of Level 25 players. And as long as one player in the team was over Level 25, the record would be invalid.
"Brother expert, we've already arrived at Skeleton Graveyard." Seven Fields sent a message at this moment. These brothers' levels were the same as when they went offline. It seemed like they had slept for a day like Ye Xiu.
"Okay, I'll be there immediately." Ye Xiu immediately had Lord Grim run towards Skeleton Graveyard. Normally, they could have gone to this dungeon when they were Level 15, but Ye Xiu's Thousand Chance Umbrella currently required a lot of "Strong Spider Silk". Yesterday, he had expressed his needs to Seven Fields and the others, meaning that he didn't plan on changing dungeons when he was Level 15. In the end, those four guys also stayed and followed Ye Xiu into Spider Cave.
Just like this, they continued to grind, but they still didn't have enough "Strong Spider Silk". This thing was a guaranteed drop from the hidden BOSS Spider Emperor. The normal BOSS Spider King and the two small ones had a certain chance of dropping it. Ye Xiu and the others worked hard until they reached 11. The hidden BOSS had appeared three more times. Among them, the Spider Emperor had appeared once, giving them 5 "Strong Spider Silk". The other two times, they were Spider Warriors, so there was a 100% chance that they wouldn't drop it. Then there were the small BOSSes that dropped bits and pieces. There were only 7 in total. Adding in the 4 from the first kill, they had only gotten 16 in total. They were still 24 away from Ye Xiu's requirement of 40.
Based on yesterday's progress, he still needed to grind for two more days. Ye Xiu secretly calculated. Seven Fields and the others had already reached Level 18 with him in Spider Cave. Once they reached Level 20, they would be 5 levels away from Spider Cave. In Glory, Level 5 was always a very important threshold. For example, equipment, skills, or experience from killing monsters. If they were more than 5 levels above the dungeon level, then the experience gained would sharply decrease. At that time, "leveling" would become untenable. Ye Xiu definitely wouldn't be able to bring Seven Fields and the others to Spider Cave to work for him.
Relying on luck like this wasn't a solution. It looked like he had to find another way. Ye Xiu thought. Lord Grim had already reached Skeleton Graveyard. He found Seven Fields in his friends list and sent a party request. After quickly joining the party, Seven Fields sent a message: "Do you want to add another person?"
"It's fine if you don't want to." Ye Xiu replied. Speaking of which, Skeleton Graveyard actually had the necessary materials, but he still hadn't gotten them yet. He hadn't used the Thousand Chance Umbrella for long, yet it had already become a burden. It wasn't easy for a low-level account to clear a dungeon. Ye Xiu sighed and stepped into Skeleton Base.
