"How did they know you were here and set up an ambush?" Gu Fei said.
"This …" Cloud Twilight was a bit embarrassed, but he still told the truth, "Our Ten Guild Alliance has more than 4000 members, but there are people from other guilds among them. We noticed this during the guild PvP a few times. However, we can't find out who they are, so we can only let them be. It looks like Mei Yan has a mole in the guild. Everyone in the guild knows that we invited you guys here to teach us efficient leveling methods. He probably heard about it and came to ambush me. This bastard has done this a few times already. "
"If he knew so clearly, then he should have thought that you wouldn't be alone. However, he only came with eight people. This arrangement doesn't seem like he's planning to ambush a team. It seems like he thinks you're here alone. "Gu Fei said.
Cloud Twilight froze. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something wasn't right. This guy brought eight Thieves with him, and it looked like he was ready to take a bite and leave. However, Mei Yan was someone who left the guild, so both sides knew each other very well. If he didn't think Cloud Twilight was alone, he wouldn't have used this kind of tactic. This was because Cloud Morning's team often had people with anti-stealth skills. Sending eight Thieves as a team was tantamount to suicide.
Yun Zhong Mu furrowed his brows and began to ponder. "If there was an insider who gave him information, even if he wanted to launch a sneak attack, he wouldn't make such a scene. If there wasn't someone who gave him information, he shouldn't know where I am … Could it be that this guy is just passing by and is actually here to train?"
"From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he just happened to meet you." Gu Fei said.
"That's true. Why would eight Thieves come out to level together … What the hell is this bastard doing?"
"I'm afraid it's not him." Gu Fei said.
"Brother Thousand Miles, what do you mean?" Cloud Twilight hurriedly asked.
"You just said it yourself! If he had information, then he wouldn't have come like this. If he didn't, then he shouldn't have come. But now that he's here, there's only one explanation. He received false information. "Gu Fei said.
"Are you two talking in a tongue twister?" Hundred Generations Classics was confused. No one paid any attention to him.
"False information?" Yun Zhongmu mumbled. "Could it be that someone framed this grandson?"
"That I'm not sure. Perhaps it's a trap, or perhaps it's a use." Gu Fei said.
"Use? Wu, this idiot being used like a spear really is his style. "Cloud in Twilight muttered.
"Just be careful. We'll be leaving first!" Gu Fei patted him on the back. He guessed that this was an internal conflict between guilds in Moonlit City.
"Take care." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Fei's words made sense. He was afraid that someone was playing tricks behind the scenes. As for the purpose of tricking Mei Yan into coming here, Yun Zhongmu didn't know, and he didn't know who was playing tricks behind the scenes. More than half of the guilds in Moonlit Night City had conflicts with the Ten Guilds Alliance, especially the larger ones.
Gu Fei and Cloud Midnight parted ways at the entrance of the valley. The two of them returned to the city, while Cloud Midnight returned to the valley. Inside the valley, a group of players who had even stopped eating dinner were still practicing like wildfire. Cloud Midnight went over and dragged a few of them off the stage. He told them about what he had just experienced.
"Counselor, what do you think?" Cloud Midnight asked a Mage among the brothers.
This counselor's name was First Counselor. It was easy to tell what this player liked. Regardless of whether the idea was good or bad, this fellow could come up with an idea for anything. It was not in vain that he was given the name 'Burning Bun'. Although the success rate of his ideas wasn't high, Yun Zhongmu and the others were used to letting him speak first when they discussed things. This was the name he had come up with! They had to give him some face.
First Counselor immediately cleared his throat and said, "There's no doubt that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes. I'm guessing that it's either Mixed Fur or Proud Egg."
Mixed Fur and Proud Egg were the leaders of two fifth-rank guilds in Moonlit Night City. It must have been hard for these two to build such huge guilds in Moonlit Night City, where the Ten Guilds Alliance could do whatever they wanted. Now that they were working together, they were the leaders of Moonlit Night City's farmers against the Ten Guilds Alliance.
The names Mixed Hair and Proud Egg were exactly the same as Cloud Pig. In reality, these two players were called Weeds and Proud Emperor. In the end, in the mouths of Cloud Morning, one became Hair and the other became Egg.
"Can't you say something useful?" Cloud Midnight rolled his eyes. When he realized that someone was playing tricks behind the scenes, he first thought of these two as their guild's biggest enemies. However, this was also the style of First Counselor. His plans had always been shallow, and everyone could think of it.
"Yes, as for what these two grandsons want to do, I still have to think about it." First Counselor said.
"Okay, go think about it!" Cloud Midnight waved his hand and looked at the other brothers. They were the ones who really came up with ideas.
"I think that's what they came for, right?" One of the brothers said to Young Master's Elite Group and Jian Nan You, who were leveling. Of course, he wasn't referring to these people, but the efficient leveling method that they represented.
Outside Silent Night Valley, Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jinglun were rushing back to the main city, but they were stopped halfway. Gu Fei thought that Enchanted Words had gathered more people to take revenge on them, so he happily prepared to defend himself. However, the leader of the other side came up to them with a smile on his face. "Sorry to disturb you two. Let me introduce myself first. I am the guild leader of Moonlit Night City's Proud Heavens Guild, Proud Emperor. This is the guild leader of Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Guild, Weed. I have something to discuss with you two.
Gu Fei was a bit disappointed when he heard that it wasn't a fight. However, he obviously wouldn't be so unreasonable as to reject them just because they were in a hurry to eat dinner. He immediately asked, "What is it?"
"Haha, it's like this. Didn't you two recently set up a workshop to teach efficient leveling methods? We are here for that, and we have something to discuss with you two. "Proud Emperor said.
Gu Fei laughed, "Which leveling area do you guys want?"
Proud Emperor smiled, "All of them."
Gu Fei was stunned, "All of them?"
Proud Emperor nodded, "All of them. It means all of the leveling areas in the game."
Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jinglun looked at each other. They didn't understand what this person meant.
"Haha, actually, I was just talking about our identity as players in the game. I have another identity that I haven't introduced to you two. Here are my business cards. "Proud Emperor reached into his pocket and took out two badge-like things.
Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jinglun took them in confusion. They realized that it was a business card made of an unknown material. The words on it were carved: Ying Qi Workshop Moonlit Night City Branch Manager: Proud Emperor. There was also an email address. Other than that, there was no other complicated information. In game, an ID was enough, and an email address was for offline contact when needed.
"Ying Qi Workshop …" Gu Fei frowned. "I think I've heard of it somewhere. Do you know?" Gu Fei turned his head and asked Hundred Realms Jinglun.
"I don't know." Hundred Realms Jinglun immediately shook his head. He and Gu Fei were noobs in the game.
Proud Emperor smiled and said, "When we were in Shady Forest City, our branch had some dealings with you, Brother Thousand Miles."
Gu Fei immediately remembered when Proud Emperor said that. When they were in Shady Forest City, their camouflage equipment came from this workshop. At that time, he and the Sword Ghost followed Lu Ke and stayed in their clothing workshop.
"No wonder it sounds familiar!" Gu Fei smiled and put the business card and badge in his pocket. Proud Emperor wanted to say something, but he held back in the end. It wasn't easy to carve out such an exquisite badge in the game. Proud Emperor's name card was actually given to people to see, and when people exclaimed "Wow, Ying Qi Studio", he would take the opportunity to take the name card back. In fact, it wasn't a gift.
In the end, not only were they unable to use their great name to boost their prestige, their name cards were confiscated by Gu Fei instead. Furthermore, Hundred Eras Jinglun followed suit and also put away his name cards. The Proud Emperor lost two of his name cards at once, which made him feel very distressed.
"What's the matter with the workshop?" Gu Fei asked.
"Uh, I don't know what the two of you think about the prospects of this efficient leveling method?" Proud Emperor said.
"The prospects are not bad." Gu Fei answered.
"Hehe, of course the prospects are good." Proud Emperor continued with a smile, "It's just that according to your current operating model, it's a bit hard to say whether it can be excavated to the fullest!"
"Really? What do you mean? "Gu Fei asked.
Proud Emperor saw that Gu Fei's interest had been aroused. He immediately began to explain, "Then I'll be honest. There's nothing wrong with your operating model. It's just that you have a fatal flaw, which is the lack of manpower. This has led to the fact that although you have unlimited resources in your hands, you can't spread them all over the game at once. So far, you've only developed the two leveling areas in Baishi's Wilderness Camp and White Mill. This slow pace really has a lot of hidden dangers. "
Proud Emperor paused and looked at Gu Fei. However, he didn't see the anxious expression on Gu Fei's face because of the "hidden dangers". He was a bit disappointed and could only continue, "First of all, let me make an analogy. The players who have mastered the efficient leveling method and the players who haven't mastered the efficient leveling method are actually two groups that have created a gap between the rich and the poor. The contradiction between these two groups is absolutely impossible to reconcile. In the end, the common point of this contradiction can only be the source of the contradiction … Of course, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the efficient leveling method because this situation can be avoided. But unfortunately, you don't have enough manpower, which leads to this contradiction that is not conducive to further development. And according to my observation, there's another kind of contradiction that has arisen. That is, the players who have mastered the efficient leveling method are unable to level in peace because the leveling area is saturated. This is also a factor that is not conducive to development. But similarly, if there's enough manpower, this situation can be avoided. "
"Yes, it makes sense." Gu Fei nodded.
Proud Emperor seemed to have received encouragement and was very happy. He continued, "There's another point, I'm afraid that it will come from the game company. Although the efficient leveling method is a skill that the players developed themselves, it's just a guide to fighting monsters. But according to my observation, it's actually a relatively mechanized way of fighting monsters. This kind of method, at first, is because of the crazy increase in experience. But after getting used to it, the fatigue of the repetitive method will greatly increase. They will develop a mentality of boredom and avoid leveling. This way, it won't be too long before they leave the game. This is something that the game company doesn't want to see happen. More importantly, the efficient leveling method speeds up the players' leveling speed. And when the players' leveling speed increases, it means that the progress of the game will be faster. This also means that the lifespan of the game will be shortened. For example, the original plan was for the players to reach level 50 in two years. But because of the efficient leveling method, the players reached level 50 in a year. Then, in this extra year, what method will the game company use to attract the players to continue fighting in the game? If there's no effective game content to attract the players, it will inevitably cause a large number of players to leave the game. So this will obviously increase the work pressure and burden of the game company. So, this kind of thing that disrupts the rhythm of the game, they definitely won't sit idly by. I reckon that at present, they should already be secretly evaluating this efficient leveling method. Once they determine that it's harmful, they will definitely think of a way to eliminate it by hook or by crook. This is a business that can't be done in the long run. What we need is to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. Once we make a move, we will spread the efficient leveling method to the entire game. This way, even if the game company makes any adjustments, our losses will already be minimized. But if we continue to operate like this, it's fine now. But when we open another two or three leveling areas, the game company will definitely make a move. At that time, we can only helplessly watch as a large amount of business is lost. "
This time, Proud Emperor didn't pause. He finished his speech in one breath. This was the longest speech Gu Fei had ever heard since he entered the game. He glanced at the Encyclopedic Statesman beside him, and it seemed like he was about to fall asleep from listening to it.
Proud Emperor saw that the two of them were a little dazed, and thought that they were shocked by his wonderful speech. He licked his somewhat dry lips, and said with a desire to continue: "There's more … …"
"There's more?" Gu Fei was shocked.
Proud Emperor saw his reaction, and it seemed like he couldn't bear to listen anymore. He hurriedly changed his words: "There's still a few minor things that need not be said too much. In short, just these few hidden dangers are enough to cause the efficient leveling method to be unable to make the best use of it! I'm sure the two of you can't bear to see your great talents being wasted just because of a moment of carelessness, right? All of this can actually be avoided, as long as there's enough manpower!!! " Proud Emperor's spittle flew everywhere, and his face was full of bitter resentment. It was as if the efficient leveling method was left to Gu Fei and the others to casually operate it, it would destroy the earth.
"Thank you for your concern." Gu Fei smiled.
"Not at all, I just can't bear to see the two of you inadvertently ruin such a great opportunity to make money!" Proud Emperor said.
"Money, we're talking about making money?" Hundred Eras Jinglun was flabbergasted. Proud Emperor's long speech just now was too unconventional for someone who didn't understand the game. Even Gu Fei was a little confused, not to mention Hundred Eras Jinglun who had a somewhat rigid personality.
After Proud Emperor heard Hundred Eras Jinglun's words, he was extremely terrified. He was really afraid that the two of them wouldn't listen to him even after he said so much, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Hundred Eras, did you not hear it clearly? Do you want me to repeat it again? "
"No need!!" Gu Fei hurriedly said. He saw that Hundred Eras Jinglun almost nodded his head, but fortunately, his mouth was fast enough.
"Then, what do the two of you think?" Proud Emperor felt that Gu Fei understood people quite well. He was afraid that Gu Fei already understood his intentions, so there was no need to say it too clearly.
"En, we're leaving, goodbye." Gu Fei said.
"Ah … …" Proud Emperor was dumbfounded. What was the meaning of this? Did he not express himself clearly enough? Proud Emperor blankly looked at the weeds beside him. The weeds and he were both members of Age's Workshop. Moreover, they were official employees. According to the company's position, they were Proud Emperor's assistants. This time, the higher-ups attached great importance to the matter regarding the Efficiency Leveling Method. The various branches in the main cities were also actively thinking of ways to obtain it. This time, Proud Emperor personally brought along his assistant and was determined to obtain it. Otherwise, if it wasn't such a large business deal, his identity as a workshop member wouldn't be easily exposed.
Who would have thought that after spending so much effort, these two fellows seemed to be stubborn. They didn't even understand what he was saying. At this moment, Proud Emperor was in a bad mood. Looking at the weeds beside him, he suddenly felt that this fellow didn't even come up to help him when he was working so hard to obtain the business. He was really angry, completely forgetting that he was the one who told the weeds not to talk too much.
The relationship between these two wasn't like the relationship between a guild leader and a guild member in the game. It was a true relationship between a superior and a subordinate. The weeds saw that the leader's expression wasn't good. It seemed like he was going to take it out on him. Although he was cursing in his heart, he had no choice but to take the initiative to find something to do. He hurriedly caught up to Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jinglun, "Please wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?" Gu Fei asked.
"The two of you don't seem to understand what we mean." The weeds looked down on Proud Emperor. He clearly wanted to poach people over, but he pretended to be aloof and talked about how rich he was. He wanted others to understand his intention to cooperate, but in the end, they didn't understand and he had to come and fix it himself. The weeds felt depressed, so he went straight to the point, "Actually, what we mean is that you have the technology and we have the manpower. It's simply a match made in heaven. Together, we can maximize the benefits of the Efficiency Leveling Method. How great would that be!"
Gu Fei scratched his head, "I understand what you guys mean, but you guys don't seem to understand what I mean!"
"What do you mean?" The weeds was at a loss.
"I said we're leaving, goodbye. What I meant was, I'm not interested in this cooperation." Gu Fei said.
"Why … why?" The weeds said.
Gu Fei laughed, "I'm a Grandmaster of Combat, not a professional gamer."
