Sin City.
Lightning flashed in the sky from time to time and the drizzle continued to fall.
Lord Grim and Han Yanrou were running in different corners of the city, each looking for traces of Christmas thieves. Ye Xiu and Tang Rou were both quietly operating their keyboards and mice. Apart from that, they didn't say a single word.
Chen Guo, who was sitting between the two of them, was also controlling her Chasing Haze to run, run, run in the wild Heavenly Domain … ….
Plop!
Chasing Haze fell into a pit.
"F * ck!" Chen Guo yelled, while hastily controlling Chasing Haze to jump out of the pit. Right now, she couldn't really concentrate. In the previous PK, the one who was the most nervous and excited was actually her. In the end, the two players calmly continued with their quests. Chen Guo had no one to say anything to. Her emotions were in a mess.
There was nothing she could do. She couldn't force them to be as excited as she was.
Chen Guo helplessly swallowed her saliva and continued to wander around aimlessly. Four Christmas thieves … … this was her record so far. In the previous hour, she had killed three. For a normal player, that was pretty good luck. But in this hour, because she had gone to watch the two play, she had been a bit absent-minded. Apart from the one she had found earlier, she hadn't found anything else.
When she found something, another player would steal it first because she wasn't concentrating.
Whenever someone stole it, Chen Guo would silently walk away. But just because she did this didn't mean that everyone else did the same. Killing and stealing monsters was a common occurrence all along the way. Chen Guo had killed four Christmas thieves without encountering any trouble. This was already quite a feat.
The Heavenly Domain was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. There were no system penalties for PKing here. Being killed here would result in a higher loss of experience and item drop rate. Killing and stealing happened every day in the Heavenly Domain.
Perhaps many players weren't satisfied with the Heavenly Domain's atmosphere, but the Heavenly Domain wasn't forcing players to enter. Players had the right to choose. It was just that the Heavenly Domain had better equipment, more materials, stronger Bosses, and more difficult Instance Dungeons, which tempted players to constantly enter.
If they could resist the temptation, then they could just continue playing in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and so on. Every time the game released new content, new things would be added to these non-Heaven's Domain regions. They were never left out.
Chen Guo, on the other hand, preferred the Heavenly Domain. This was a place where danger could happen at any time. It made her feel more excited. Although she had been ambushed and lost her equipment, she was so angry that she didn't want to play the game for a week. She even wanted to return to the old server, but not long after, she would quietly crawl back to the Heavenly Domain. This piece of land had such a magical power.
However, Chen Guo didn't have a good impression of the Heavenly Domain. She pressed the forward button rigidly, turning left and then right. Her fingers were going numb. What about her side? Keyboard and mouse clacking sounds could be heard from the left and right. It was obvious that the two of them had been busy.
In their new server, Sin City, there were very few players. It was rare to see a situation where there was too much porridge and not enough monks. The two of them couldn't walk for long before they saw a Christmas thief and happily went up to kill it. With this comparison, how could Chen Guo still like the Heavenly Domain?
Running, running, running … …
This time, she didn't lose focus and fall into a trap, but she still couldn't steal the Christmas thief. Chen Guo would look left and right from time to time. Gradually, she discovered that Ye Xiu, who was on the right, had also quieted down.
He was just like her. It seemed like he was just pressing the forward button, turning left, turning right, foolishly.
Chen Guo began looking at Ye Xiu instead of her own screen.
Lord Grim was like her Chasing Haze, running through the streets and alleys. His vision was like a radar as he searched everywhere. The number of Christmas thieves seemed to have suddenly decreased. Or perhaps, there were more players?
Wherever Lord Grim ran, the Christmas thieves had already been killed. Or, as soon as he ran past them, someone had already killed them.
Ye Xiu obviously wasn't like Wind Following Sword who went to kill and steal. He could only turn around and look for more. In the end, he would always repeat the same experience.
In the half an hour that Chen Guo had been watching him, he had only killed two Christmas thieves.
For Ye Xiu, who had a huge advantage in Sin City, killing fourteen in an hour, killing two in half an hour wasn't something that could be justified.
Perhaps for normal players, this wasn't too bad. But for a name that had shot up the leaderboards like a rocket, this result was a regression. This could be seen from the leaderboards. In the past half an hour, Lord Grim's ranking hadn't gone up. Instead, it had gone down.
"You guys are too savage. Has the system adjusted it yet?" Chen Guo suddenly said.
Ye Xiu turned his head to look at her and then shook his head: "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Chen Guo asked.
Ye Xiu didn't reply. He continued to patiently let Lord Grim run around.
Chen Guo obviously knew that the "system adjusted" wasn't true, because Tang Rou was still busy on her left. Could it be that the adjustment was only for Lord Grim? Wherever he went, the adjustment would follow?
Chen Guo clearly hadn't been able to find a single Christmas thief for a long time, but at this moment, she was even more curious about Ye Xiu's situation and was even more attentive.
After another half an hour, this time, it was even worse than before. He had only killed one.
Three Christmas thieves in one hour. This was Chen Guo's result.
Chen Guo didn't have time to gloat. She also felt that something wasn't right. Tang Rou had been busy for another half an hour!
"I've been surrounded." Facing Chen Guo's puzzled gaze, Ye Xiu said.
"Surrounded?"
"Yeah, there are always people following me." Ye Xiu pointed at a character not far away who was killing Christmas thieves. "They set up a net around me and move as a whole according to my position. They will pass by the blocks around me in advance. If there are any Christmas thieves, they will either take them away or kill them. So, I rarely get to kill them."
"You can do that?" Chen Guo was stunned.
"There are quite a lot of people. I just counted. There are 25 people." Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo realized that Ye Xiu wasn't blindly running around like she was. After feeling that something was wrong, his blindness was already an observation. After half an hour of observation, he came to this conclusion.
"Kill him!" Chen Guo said.
"That fierce?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them." Chen Guo stated her principle.
"Then I'll go kill him and see?" Ye Xiu seemed to be asking for her opinion.
"Go!" Chen Guo seemed to be giving the order.
As a result, Ye Xiu ordered Lord Grim to charge forward. But when he was still a few steps away, that guy didn't kill him and turned around to run.
The Christmas thief was obviously chasing after him. But since he had already started running at this distance, even if Ye Xiu had heaven-defying methods, it would still be very difficult for him to catch up.
Chen Guo was also dumbfounded by what she saw.
"You've made ample preparations!" Ye Xiu sighed. He opened up the Christmas Hunting Leaderboards and looked. In the past half an hour, he had only killed one, so his ranking had naturally dropped again.
Ye Xiu casually flipped to the first page of the leaderboards.
"Wow, Excellent Dynasty is mighty!" Chen Guo blurted out. That row of fifteen Excellent Dynasty players was too eye-catching.
Ye Xiu laughed, but didn't say anything. He wasn't surprised that Chen Guo would praise Excellent Dynasty. As a huge fan of Excellent Era, she obviously favored Excellent Dynasty in the game.
However, Chen Guo had already come back to her senses.
The reason why she didn't want Ye Xiu to kill the Christmas thief was because the two sides were competitors. But Sin City had too few players and too many thieves. It was impossible to compete. As a result, the competition could only be in other places. The competition for the Christmas thief could only be in the leaderboards.
And the only ones who could mobilize such a force were guilds. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim didn't have a guild. Chen Guo saw it, so the competition could only be in the individual leaderboards. Did guilds need to suppress someone in the individual leaderboards? But when she saw that the top fifteen of the leaderboards were all the same, Chen Guo faintly understood.
But even if Ye Xiu's Lord Grim fled quickly and squeezed out one of them, there were still fourteen of them who wouldn't move. Did they have to be so persistent in keeping the top fifteen of the leaderboards?
Chen Guo couldn't understand this point because she didn't know the current situation in the tenth server. Chen Yehui's worries weren't groundless. If Lord Grim really did step onto the leaderboards, it was very likely that their Excellent Dynasty would immediately lose face. At that time, who knew what those noobs in the world who didn't know anything would say in a sarcastic manner?
Who wouldn't be afraid of Blue Brook Pavilion and Tyrannical Ambition's misfortune?
Chen Yehui didn't come all the way to the tenth district to be treated as a tragedy.
"These people are from Excellent Dynasty?" Chen Guo asked doubtfully.
"It looks like it." Ye Xiu said.
"What kind of enmity do you have with them?" Chen Guo didn't understand the tenth server's situation, so she could only understand it as enmity that wouldn't allow Ye Xiu to be at ease.
"It's a long story." Ye Xiu said.
"Then what do we do now?" Chen Guo asked.
"Hm, let me think." Ye Xiu said.
"Not bad!" On the other side, Chen Yehui was always paying attention to the leaderboards. Lord Grim's ranking had begun to fall. Naturally, his actions had taken effect. After seeing the effects last for an hour, Lord Grim's ranking continued to fall. Chen Yehui happily gave Wind Following Sword a commendation.
"Ha ha, no big deal." Wind Following Sword said modestly, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel proud of his careful arrangements.
"What's that guy's reaction?" Chen Yehui asked.
"He's been running around blindly for an hour. It seems like he just realized something." Wind Following Sword was already looking down on Ye Qiu's intelligence.
"Then he's probably going to make a move. Pay attention."
"Okay, I'll wait. He's one of Glory's Four Master Tacticians. In reality, I've always wanted to have a chance to compete with him and see just how godly his tactics are." After an hour, Wind Following Sword was in high spirits.
