It was the same problem, the same dilemma. After careful consideration, the leaders of the seven guilds decisively ruled out the third option.
They couldn't afford to take this risk. Apart from the original pressure, there was another ruthless reality in front of them. That was, if any of the seven guilds switched sides, then they would be like Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition. They would immediately take advantage of the situation and loot it.
Don't look at how they were all looking down on Blue Brook Pavilion and Tyrannical Ambition. If they were in the same situation, any one of them would switch sides faster than flipping through a book. Especially in a virtual environment like the internet, they wouldn't feel embarrassed at all.
There were no eternal friends, only eternal benefits. This phrase was perfect to describe the relationship between the Club guilds.
If they continued to maintain their current situation and the other guilds switched sides, then the pressure would be even greater. No guild dared to continue wasting time in Thousand Waves Lake.
Afterwards, it was a question of whether they should back down or compromise.
If they backed down, they would leave Thousand Waves Lake's leveling area. If they compromised, they would compensate Lord Grim for materials. One side would lose experience, while the other side would lose materials. You couldn't have both the fish and the bear's paw. But from an emotional point of view, compromising was more sullen. Even though the guild leaders prioritized their own benefits, they couldn't ignore the feelings of their guild members.
At this moment, Lord Grim's identity as God Ye Qiu immediately comforted them. Sometimes, even the seven guild leaders themselves didn't know whether fighting against a God was a blessing or a curse.
After eliminating the third option, whether they should back down or compromise wasn't a question of benefits anymore. Instead, it was a question of how the guilds felt. The seven guilds knew that there was no point in dragging this out, so they quickly made up their minds. On Ye Xiu's side, he quickly received messages from five of the seven guilds, asking what they should do if they didn't want to continue insisting like this.
Ye Xiu didn't say anything. He calmly sent the same list of materials five times.
The five guild leaders were already mentally prepared, but when they saw it again, they couldn't help but grit their teeth. Compared to the first quote, the number of materials on the list had obviously increased. The members of the five Guilds were helpless against this situation. It could be said that they were taking advantage of the situation. Times had changed. It wasn't as if the Five Great Clans hadn't thought of raising the price at this time.
The five families only felt indignant in their hearts, but no one brought it up again. Their replies were all confirmations.
After that, both parties agreed to meet at the location of the trade. There were quite a few materials on the list, and Ye Xiu even purposely cleaned up his inventory. The meeting place was the safe zone of the main city. Naturally, there was no need to worry about whether or not it was a trap. When he arrived, he saw that the five characters from the five guilds had already arrived. Of course, they were all in the top 100 of the Level Rankings. Although the day had been very bumpy for these guilds, with the Level Rankings changing randomly, at least the overall name list had not changed. However, if this continued, no one dared to say that there wouldn't be new faces in the Level Leaderboards.
"Everyone has worked hard." Ye Xiu had only come by himself. Although the other side had more people, they were completely defeated. No one said anything. In the end, it was Ye Xiu who took the initiative to speak. However, as soon as he spoke, he choked on his words.
"Who wants to trade first?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I'll go first … …" A character walked towards Lord Grim. It was just a character in the game, but at this moment, it gave off a dejected feeling. They discovered that this really did seem like a surrender ceremony, and they were the ones who had surrendered.
"Oh, oh, it's you." Ye Xiu looked at the name of the first player who had come to trade and flipped through his notebook: "Died five times. You've worked hard."
Misty Rain, who had died four times, hurriedly finished the trade and ran away in tears.
"You died three times. It wasn't easy!" The second Herb Garden player was also criticized by Ye Xiu. He quickly finished the trade and turned to leave.
"Four times."
"Two times."
"Oh, you're not bad. You actually didn't die? How about it? Are you interested in joining our Happy Growth Guild? Our guild really needs people with good luck like you. " Ye Xiu didn't put an "X" on the last player's notebook, so he immediately appreciated him. He even tried to win him over, but he angrily left after finishing the trade.
"You're too evil." Chen Guo watched Ye Xiu collect materials. She obviously knew that Ye Xiu wasn't sincerely trying to win him over. He was just mocking and ridiculing him. In technical terms, he was talking trash. She laughed until she couldn't straighten her back, but still looked down on him.
"Five guilds … … Looks like two guilds aren't willing." Ye Xiu looked at his notebook. In the end, 301 Degrees and Howling Heights didn't negotiate with him.
"Let me confirm." Ye Xiu's friend list included the guild leaders of the two guilds, so he immediately sent a message to them. The two guilds' replies were more or less the same. They couldn't afford to provoke him, so they'd better hide.
"What a pity." Ye Xiu sighed. For him, he obviously welcomed the other side to provide him with materials. Although the leveling speed of the guilds that retreated to another leveling area would slow down, for a newly established guild like Happy, creating this kind of situation wouldn't give them much of an advantage. They weren't even on the same level yet! The other Club guilds would probably be happier if they gave in. As far as Ye Xiu was concerned, he preferred to trade for materials.
"Not bad!" In the end, Ye Xiu was very satisfied with the pile of materials in his bag. Although the materials he obtained weren't necessary to upgrade the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, with these resources, the materials he needed could be obtained through trade. Apart from a few materials that were extremely limited in quantity, the rest were enough to pave the way for the Thousand Chance Umbrella to reach Level 50 with the help of the accumulated materials.
And the most crucial part of the upgrade was yet to come. Because Ye Xiu didn't have such a clear list of materials to choose from in the future, he would need to follow his train of thought and research step by step. In the process, he might choose the wrong materials and break the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. If that happened, he would have to rebuild it from scratch. As a result, the accumulation of materials didn't stop there. Ye Xiu didn't have the confidence that he could succeed in the first try at the Level 50-70 stage. Even if he succeeded in one try, he might not be able to achieve the results he was most satisfied with.
Before Level 50, he only needed to earn materials to upgrade the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. After Level 50, it would truly begin.
As he thought about this, Ye Xiu had already put all the new materials back into the storage. In the beginning, he was just substituting in to exchange for some random materials. Later on, he proposed a bet with Wang Jiexi. Then, he sold dungeon records on a large scale. Finally, he received compensation for this loss. The materials in the storage, from low to high, were already a dazzling lineup. Moreover, these were all rare materials. To the side, Chen Guo's eyes almost popped out. She was just a normal Glory player. Even if she piled up all the rare materials she had collected over the years, it still couldn't compare to what was in front of her eyes.
"How is this game even played!" Chen Guo had the urge to cry.
After tidying up the storage, Ye Xiu received a message from Cold Night, who was still excitedly reporting their findings.
"Oh, there's no need!" Ye Xiu replied.
"What?" Cold Night asked.
"They won't cause any more trouble." Ye Xiu replied.
"Ah … …." Cold Night immediately understood. He wanted to say something, but he held back: You're the one causing trouble, right?
After everything was taken care of, 301 Degrees and Howling Heights had already quietly left the leveling area. Pretending to leave and then sneaking back to grind in secret was also a ploy, but it was clear that no one was in the mood to do that. Everyone had had enough of leveling up in fear and trepidation.
After sending Cold Night away, Ye Xiu took the initiative to send a message to Lan He: "We don't need the information anymore."
"What's wrong?" As usual, Blue River asked.
"They won't cause any more trouble." Ye Xiu's answer was the same.
"You're the one causing trouble, aren't you?" Lan He wasn't like Cold Night. He didn't dare to say anything.
"You guys started it!" Ye Xiu said.
"You were the one who started it!" Lan He reminded him.
"I didn't. I just said I was Ye Qiu, that's all. They came by themselves. Can't I tell the truth?"
Lan He's cheeks streamed with tears. He had lost again.
"We're running a dungeon. There's a spot. Do you want to come?" Ye Xiu asked Lan He. At this moment, the guilds had finished running the dungeon three times. It was almost 2 PM. Su Mucheng still had a pro match tomorrow, so she planned on resting early and logged off first.
"… …." Lan He.
"If you guys are in a team of five, then there are still three people who aren't in a team, right? Do you want to bring them? "Ye Xiu continued to ask.
"If you bring one, then what about the other two!" Lan He was angry.
"Oh … …." Ye Xiu replied. Then he followed up with another message: "We all miscalculated. After you guys are in a team of five, there are only two people left."
Lan He stared blankly. Then, he remembered that there had originally been one Thousand Creations. Now that he had jumped ship, there were only two people left.
"There's no way for those two to run a dungeon, right? We can bring one. "Ye Xiu said.
"Then what about the other one!" Lan He asked.
"Should we join up with the other guilds?" Ye Xiu suggested.
