"323 … …" Chen Guo watched as Ye Xiu took away another Christmas thief. This 323 thief was quickly caught up in the flood of Christmas thieves behind Lord Grim and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
323 Christmas thieves didn't give Ye Xiu as much trouble as the players thought. Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim. With this sort of plan, they didn't really have to face that many Christmas thieves. If Chen Guo hadn't been counting along the way from Ye Xiu's screen, she wouldn't have thought of such a terrifying number.
After all 323 Christmas thieves had been taken away, the overall number had decreased. This made it difficult for Ye Xiu to find new Christmas thieves. However, he didn't stop there. He continued to have Lord Grim run around. The game was set to windowed mode. Next to the window was a map of Sin City, just like what Sword Qi had pointed at.
"How many people do you plan on getting?" Chen Guo couldn't help but ask.
Ye Xiu didn't reply. It was as if he didn't hear her. If it was just running around with Christmas thieves, it wouldn't be too difficult for Ye Xiu. However, they had long since predicted that the various large Guilds would make such a move, which was why they had planned for the current situation to unfold before them. As the number of Christmas thieves increased, Ye Xiu had to plan and calculate more things. He didn't even maintain his focus. Instead, he gradually increased it. At this moment, he couldn't hear Chen Guo's voice.
Chen Guo glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions. She continued to watch in silence.
The entire map was filled with Christmas thieves. Seeing so many Christmas thieves pass by in front of them while killing them for nothing made the players feel very lonely. They continued to run around, chasing after Lord Grim to see if there were any Christmas thieves that had slipped through their net.
However, there was a mistake in this method.
As they chased after the Lord Grim, the streets they passed were often the same streets that the Lord Grim had walked. Wherever Lord Grim walked, if there were any free Christmas thieves, he would take them away. How could there be any fish that escaped the net?
The progress of the various Guilds' Hunting Quests was becoming more and more bleak, but they were all helpless. They had been busy for hours, but the Lord Grim was still alive and well. There were quite a few people who had seen him, but no one could follow him or stop him.
Of course, these Christmas thieves could also be attacked. However, due to the special setting of the first hit, even if players killed these Christmas thieves, they would not receive any points, nor would they be able to snatch the Christmas gifts stolen by the Christmas thieves. This was equivalent to working for Ye Xiu for free.
"But if we kill them, at least new Christmas thieves will spawn. We won't be in this situation where there are no monsters to kill!" Over at the Blue Brook Pavilion, players such as Flower Lantern and Lan He were discussing. It had already been an hour since he had gained anything. In Sin City, this was a completely unreasonable situation. He wasn't the only one who had encountered this situation. The entire guild's harvest was also very bleak.
"So what if we kill them? Why couldn't Lord Grim use this method to reunite with the new ones? If he can do it once, he can do it a second time … … "Blue Brook Pavilion's Bound Boat said.
"Kill Lord Grim!" Flower Lantern was an impatient person.
"You think no one wants to? What's the result? "Bound Boat said.
On the side, Lan He also let out a long sigh. Clearly, he supported Bound Boat's words. Helpless, he let out a long sigh.
"Then what do we do? Do we just watch and do nothing? "Flower Lantern said.
"I'm thinking … … if he's doing this, he might be certain that we have no other choice but to kill the Christmas thieves. However, if we can remain calm, he will be in a difficult situation. How will he kill so many Christmas thieves? Let's not talk about skill. Just the supply alone is impossible. "Bound Boat said. He also knew Lord Grim's true identity, so he didn't dare to question him from a technical point of view. He only doubted how Lord Grim would be able to kill all the Christmas thieves based on the supply of supplies.
"Oh … …" The impatient Flower Lantern also felt that Bound Boat's analysis was reasonable.
It obviously wasn't just Blue Brook Pavilion that was at a loss. Herb Garden, Tyrannical Ambition, Samsara, Misty Rain … … which one of them wasn't scratching the wall in anxiety, but had their hands tied? In the end, the conclusion that the guilds came to was pretty much the same as Bound Boat's analysis.
From an emotional point of view, none of the guilds were willing to do this work for free. Among them, Excellent Dynasty was the worst. They didn't know how many Christmas thieves Lord Grim had gathered, but their rewards were very bleak. Sin City's Christmas thieves seemed to have gathered behind Lord Grim. If they really helped him kill them all, Chen Yehui didn't doubt that Lord Grim would immediately jump to the top of the leaderboard. He would step on Excellent Dynasty's fifteen spots.
Compared to not being able to kill the Christmas thieves, Chen Yehui didn't want to see that happen. At least for now, Excellent Dynasty's position was still very stable. How could Chen Yehui be willing to personally step on his own team's position?
All of the guilds entered a state of being overcautious. They continued to try and surround Lord Grim, but Sin City was too big. The guilds had a limited number of people and the Christmas thieves were too chaotic. If they could succeed, they would have already surrounded him. Why would they waste time in such an embarrassing situation?
After an hour of Flower Lantern Night, they still hadn't found anything.
Although Ye Xiu didn't wander around aimlessly like them, and his search was more planned and scientific, he gradually entered a stagnant stage.
After all, Ye Xiu was only one person. After the Christmas thieves in Sin City decreased, it was very difficult for him to find anything. The number of Christmas thieves behind him grew slower and slower.
341 … …
After two hours, they reached this number with great difficulty. Another half an hour passed, but Ye Xiu still hadn't found anything.
How many Christmas thieves were there in Sin City? He was just saying. How could he accomplish such a thing on his own? Even though the guilds were in dire straits, they could still find a few that slipped through the net. After these Christmas thieves were killed, they respawned in the city, but there were fewer of them. In other words, the density of Christmas thieves had decreased by a lot. It wasn't something that could be found just by walking around.
"341 Christmas thieves!!!" Chen Guo didn't dare disturb Ye Xiu. Instead, she grabbed Tang Rou excitedly, as if these Christmas thieves could all become her rewards.
"He stole all of them. We haven't killed one in a while." Tang Rou was also a part of Sin City, so she was also affected by this situation. Her harvest was becoming worse and worse.
"It's about time." Ye Xiu, who hadn't said anything this entire time, suddenly spoke.
"What do we do next?" Chen Guo asked somewhat excitedly. She wanted to know the answer to this question.
"Tsk, I originally thought that these guilds would make a move, but it looks like they're quite patient this time!" Ye Xiu sighed emotionally. Just as Bound Boat and the others had guessed, Ye Xiu had indeed predicted this situation. This was also what he had been looking forward to the most. However, it was clear that the guilds had seen through the situation. Even though they had been chasing after him, they were still very protective of the Christmas thieves running wildly behind him.
"None of them are willing to make a move, so I can only trouble myself." Ye Xiu sighed.
"You … … What do you plan on doing?" Chen Guo asked. She felt like she was waiting for the end of a suspenseful movie.
"You'll find out soon." Ye Xiu smiled.
You're still keeping me in suspense! If you weren't so busy, I would've killed you already! Chen Guo was depressed, but she couldn't do anything about it. While she was bored and randomly bombarding the monsters around her, she was also sneaking glances at Ye Xiu's screen. Her quest for the day had been ruined. She spent most of her time staring at Ye Xiu's side. Especially when those players appeared to cause trouble, Chen Guo was nervous to death. Who would've thought that nothing would happen until now?
On the screen, Lord Grim had already adjusted his direction. After using Aerial Fire for a while, his character turned around and rushed straight out.
In the direction he was rushing, there was a perfectly straight clock tower that pierced through the clouds. In the hazy sky where lightning flashed from time to time, it looked extremely sinister and terrifying. At this moment, Lord Grim was rushing straight in this direction, getting closer and closer.
"Hey hey!" Tang Rou immediately switched to Chen Guo.
"Hm?" Chen Guo turned her head. Tang Rou tapped her screen.
"Oh!" Chen Guo looked and came back to her senses. She looked at Ye Xiu's side and saw that her Chasing Haze was being attacked by monsters.
After dealing with the monsters, Chen Guo looked back at Ye Xiu's side. Lord Grim had already reached the bottom of the clock tower.
"You want to … …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lord Grim jump up and fire. Sparks flew and Lord Grim flew out. When he landed, he was stuck in a protruding corner of the clock tower.
"Jump up." Ye Xiu laughed.
"F * ck, do you think you're Su Mucheng?" Chen Guo shouted.
In Glory, there were many tall buildings, strange trees, or cliffs. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to reach the top. However, through their own research and skill, players were able to continuously challenge these seemingly impossible things. Sometimes, even the game designers couldn't predict what they would do.
Sin City's clock tower was one of these places. This clock tower didn't have stairs. If you wanted to reach the top, you could only jump. However, up until now, very few players had succeeded. There was a video online of Sin City's clock tower successfully reaching the top. A long time ago, Su Mucheng had used Aerial Fire to do it. It had always been worshipped by players as the pinnacle of Aerial Fire. And now, Ye Xiu was casually saying that she had to jump up from here. How could Chen Guo not jump up?
"Oh? You've seen that video. Jump like that. "Ye Xiu nodded his head, expressing his approval of Chen Guo.
"I'll watch you jump!" Chen Guo was bewildered. Chen Guo had attempted Sin City's clock tower many times. She knew how difficult it was. Those footholds weren't intentionally designed for you to step on. Sometimes, they were just small protrusions on the wall. If you wanted to land on the top steadily, you had to be extremely precise. Chen Guo had tried many times, but she didn't have the skill to do it. As for Su Mucheng, who could do it, she naturally worshipped her even more.
But now, Ye Xiu could do it too?
