Everyone started to get busy. They went to pick up their quests according to the targets they killed. Those who had already picked up quests went to scout out the locations of the four big guilds. Xi Xiaotian, Liu Xia and Yun Xiang formed a group and assigned roles. The initial decision was that Xi Xiaotian and Yun Xiang would each go to the two guilds, and Liu Xia would pretend to be the guild leader. The three of them rehearsed and thought about possible situations and events, trying their best to fool the other party. Of course, Xi Xiaotian was very confident in himself. He was just a little worried that Yun Xiang would behave unnaturally during the mission. Therefore, Yun Xiang tried to be concise and clear. As the saying went, the more one spoke, the more likely it was to be safe.
Those who went out to scout also reported back. After all, the four big guilds were a very conspicuous group. It was easy to find out where they were. Of these four guilds, three were directly stationed in the resurrection camp. The person in charge had to leave the guild. Xi Xiaotian and the other two were already prepared and were kicked out one by one. Xi Xiaotian was in charge of going against the current and fighting against Yun Zhong Mudi. Yun Xiang was in charge of the Sword of No Oath and the black index finger.
Xi Xiaotian rummaged through his pockets and grabbed a handful of guild badges. He randomly picked two that were the same and handed one to Yun Xiang. He also wore one and asked Yun Xiang for the last time, "What is the name of the guild, how many people are there, who are the members, these may be related to the guild. Do you remember all of these?"
"Yes." Yun Xiang nodded.
"Okay, two for each person. Let's go far away first." Xi Xiaotian said and went their separate ways with Yun Xiang. The others also knew that the operation had begun. Those who picked up quests and scouted for information also returned to their original positions, using the time to discuss tactics and get used to each other.
There was a large number of players at the resurrection camp in the northwest of the city, including Yun Zhong Mudi's guild. The city war was in a stalemate. Since they knew that there was a limit to the number of deaths, many guilds didn't dare to act rashly. This was especially true for the big guilds that had high hopes for the city war. They didn't dare to casually go up and fight with the system. Currently, the big guilds were moving their focus to quests. These special quests were not easy to accept. However, the fixed NPCs in the various Resurrection Camps had many timed quests. Players were currently swarming there, trying to complete these boring quests in order to earn some points.
Although Mudi of Yunzhong was here, he had cleverly dispersed his subordinates to the six resurrection camps. Before there was a clear chance of victory, he didn't plan on wasting a single soldier on the siege battle. Although he was criticized and looked down upon by many players, Cloud Central's Mudi remained unfazed. While he sent players to clear these minor quests, he also sent players to search for major quests. At the same time, he also sent players to scout out the latest movements of the various guilds.
Everything was going smoothly. There was nothing for Yunzhong Mudi to be nervous or anxious. All he had was anticipation, and it was delivered to his doorstep at this time. Xi Xiaotian passed through one guild after another and arrived in front of the Shepherd Cloud Guild.
"Is your guild leader here?" Xi Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"There's a beauty looking for our guild leader …" The members of the Shepherd Cloud Guild winked at Xi Xiaotian and smiled ambiguously. They immediately sent a message to Mudi of Yunzhong, "There's a beauty looking for him."
Very few people would hate beauties, and Mudi of Yunzhong was no exception. However, very few people would be as shameless in front of beauties as the playboys, and Mudi of Yunzhong was no exception. When he heard that there was a beauty looking for him, he didn't foolishly let his imagination run wild. After asking where she was, he hurried over.
"Guild leader Yunzhong, long time no see!" Xi Xiaotian said.
"You …" Mudi of Yunzhong felt that this woman was very familiar, and he quickly remembered who she was. He thought that she was the person who extorted 400 gold from him, but when he chased after her all the way to Thousand Miles Drunk, he realized that it was all a misunderstanding. However, he couldn't take it lying down, so he agreed to PK with Thousand Miles Drunk at the entrance of the revival point without using any skills. In the end, he was beaten black and blue. Afterwards, Sakurazuka Tsukasa suddenly appeared and acted as a peacemaker to resolve the matter. At that time, Mudi of Yunzhong wanted to recruit Thousand Miles Drunk into the guild, but Sakurazuka Tsukasa's sudden appearance made him think that Thousand Miles Drunk was a wretched guy like the playboys. He immediately thought that Thousand Miles Drunk would never give up on the Amethyst Rebirth, so he gave up.
He was quite angry about the matter with Xi Xiaotian, but it was later proven to be a misunderstanding, so his anger naturally dissipated. However, he felt a little regretful that he didn't manage to recruit Thousand Miles Drunk even with 400 gold. However, it was a consensual thing. Although it could be said that he was extorted, it had been so long since it happened, and Mudi of Yunzhong wasn't petty enough to hold a grudge.
"So it's you. What do you want?" said Mudi of Yunzhong.
"Hehe. Just like last time, I have some information to sell to you," said Xi Xiaotian.
"Oh? What kind of information? " Mudi of Yunzhong was already on guard, but he wasn't a lawyer who charged by the hour. It didn't cost him anything to listen, so he asked casually.
"A quest," said Xi Xiaotian.
"A quest?" Mudi of Yunzhong was stunned. "What's going on?"
"I have a quest that I want to sell to you," said Xi Xiaotian.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"The reason is simple. Our guild has received a quest, but we don't have the ability to complete it. However, we know that a large guild like Mu Yun will definitely try to complete such a large-scale quest. So, we want to exchange this quest for some Coins," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh? What guild do you belong to? "asked Mudi of Yunzhong.
"Heaven's Leap," said Xi Xiaotian.
"Never heard of it."
Xi Xiaotian smiled. "So it's a small guild, made up of 20 friends and relatives."
Mudi of Yunzhong's expression didn't change. He immediately asked around in the guild to see if anyone knew of this guild. In the end, someone said that it sounded familiar.
"What's the situation with the guild?" asked Mudi.
"I don't know. I don't know when I heard it or saw it …" answered someone who knew.
"Go check it out!" said Mudi.
"We can't enter the main city, and we can't reach the guild building. How are we supposed to check it out?"
Cloud Central's Mudi nodded in agreement. Although there were guild rankings for each region on the official website, they were all top-ranking guilds. If this was a guild with only 20 players, there was no way it would be on the leaderboard.
"Are you the guild leader?" Mudi asked Xi Xiaotian.
"No, it's not convenient for our guild leader to show himself right now," said Xi Xiaotian.
"Why?"
"Hehe. Because the quest is with our guild leader. If he shows himself and dies, the quest will fail. How are we going to earn the money then?" said Xi Xiaotian.
"What is the quest?" asked Mudi.
"We don't know what happens after the quest, but we can't go through the current plot. If we had the ability to complete it, we wouldn't be selling it, "said Xi Xiaotian.
"Then why are you selling it to me?" asked Mudi.
Xi Xiaotian smiled. "You misunderstand. Although I'm selling the quest, I'm not sure if you'll be the one buying it."
"What do you mean? You want to … "Mudi immediately remembered that Xi Xiaotian was the one who found him and Against the Current. This time, she was trying to do the same thing again. However, the information last time could be shared. This time, it was a quest, and it couldn't be shared between two guilds. Without a doubt, she wanted to find a few guilds and buy it to the highest bidder.
"Great guild leader, do you understand what I mean?" asked Xi Xiaotian.
"Yes …" Mudi felt a tinge of resentment. It was another scam. But just like last time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet even though he knew the answer. The only ones who could compete with him were the other four rank 6 guilds. This time, however, it wasn't a competition of strength, but wealth and courage. No matter what, Mudi felt that he had to get involved. If he bought it, he would make a profit. If he didn't, it wouldn't be a loss. Thinking of this, Mudi nodded and said calmly, "Okay, I'll participate. Send me the price when the time comes."
Xi Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. Is this guy going to use information to conduct a remote auction? This isn't the result I want. As he thought this in his heart, he put on a slightly surprised expression and then a little happy. Then, he said, "Oh? Then I'll have to trouble you to add me as a friend. I'll make a price when the time comes. "
Mudi had been observing carefully. He saw the strange look on Xi Xiaotian's face. When he heard that he wanted to add her as a friend, someone in the guild reminded him, "Guild leader, this is equivalent to an auction. If we don't participate in it, they can play tricks behind the scenes."
Mudi thought about it. That's right! If I don't listen to the price, for example, Counter Current's price is 1,000, but this woman tells me 2,000. Wouldn't I be an idiot? Even if she contacted Counter Current, Counter Current's price would be 1,000, but she would privately tell him that he would bid 500. Mudi would be happy if Counter Current's price was 800. In fact, it wasn't even higher than that. In any case, this event must be conducted in front of everyone. Pretending to be mysterious and playing tricks behind the scenes, you have to be absolutely trustworthy.
Of course, Mudi couldn't trust this woman, nor could he trust the bosses of the other guilds. He sighed inwardly and quickly changed his words, "Adding her as a friend is a must, but there's no need to make a price. I think it's better to send someone to participate when the time comes! How are you going to proceed? "
"It's like this. It seems like this quest can only be accepted by the guild leader. That NPC is quite eye-catching, but our people didn't trigger the quest plot. In the end, we only received the quest after our guild leader came into contact with him. So, our guild leader won't show his face in public. He's currently in a relatively safe place. I'll host the auction. After the guild wins the quest, our guild leader will die according to his request, causing the quest to fail. After that, the guild leader who won the auction will naturally take over the quest. Does Great Guild Leader Yun think there's any problem with this operation? "Xi Xiaotian asked.
"It seems to be fine." Mudi nodded. "So, where is this quest NPC?"
"Cloud Suburb Lumberyard. If Great Guild Leader Yun thinks there's no problem, you can send someone you trust to participate in the auction now. After the auction is successful, we can complete the quest first before receiving the money. Hehe, we can still trust the reputation of the big guilds, "Xi Xiaotian said.
Of course, being a big guild didn't mean that it was of good quality. However, the few big guilds in Cloud City had a good reputation in this area, so there was no one who didn't trust them. So, Xi Xiaotian didn't argue over whether to prioritize the money or the quest.
After hearing this, Mudi nodded. "Then I'll send someone over right now. How do we communicate when the time comes?"
"Oh, if it's possible, can you wait for a moment? I still have to go for a drink and sing. We can go together when the time comes, "Xi Xiaotian said.
Mudi secretly cursed when he heard this, but an idea came to him. He suddenly asked, "How much? How much are you willing to sell the quest for? "
Xi Xiaotian smiled. "This is an item without a price tag. The value needs to be reflected."
How cunning … Mudi gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, what's your name? I'll add you as a friend. We'll contact each other later."
"Xi Xiaotian." Xi Xiaotian left his name and added Mudi as a friend before leaving.
On the other side, Yun Xiang had already finished visiting Black Index Finger. Black Index Finger came from a mercenary group and had far more trading experience than the average guild leader, so everything was very simple. As soon as Yun Xiang explained the purpose of her visit, Black Index Finger quickly sorted out the details. For example, she wanted to participate in the auction remotely. Black Index Finger didn't make a joke of it at all. He just asked about the quest out of concern. Of course, these were already rehearsed lines, so Yun Xiang didn't panic. She performed perfectly and answered them one by one. In the end, Black Index Finger gladly said that he would participate in the auction.
The two visited their respective guilds. At this time, Liu Xia, the guild leader specially arranged by them, didn't have any use at all. The players from both guilds didn't ask about the guild leader at all. To them, it was fine as long as there was a quest. It didn't seem necessary to talk to the guild leader.
Xi Xiaotian left Muyun and went to Singing to Wine. Singing to Wine had killed A Thousand Miles Drunk in the morning and their morale was greatly boosted. However, their quest didn't improve after killing Bai Sha, so they were a bit depressed. At this time, other than searching for quests like Muyun, Singing to Wine was also paying attention to Sword Ghost's whereabouts. They already saw Sword Ghost as their quest target.
Countercurrent's strategy was the same. Countercurrent was clearly smarter than Muddy Cloud, and he didn't make a fool out of himself by asking for a remote auction. He asked the same questions and tried to understand the situation. The only difference was that Countercurrent asked which Guilds would be participating in the bidding for this quest.
"Singing to Wine, Reigning the Four Seas, Muyun Guild."
"Oh? They're not called Rosy Clouds? "Upstream asked.
"Guild Leader Gu of Rosy Clouds Guild. We don't think she'll participate in this kind of event," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Haha, it's a fair trade. I think it's fifty-fifty whether she'll participate or not. However, even if you don't invite her, her guild will still come. Moreover, she'll be the winner of this auction. We won't participate in Singing to Wine, "Upstream said.
"Oh? Why? I don't quite understand, "Xi Xiaotian said curiously.
"Haha, because you invited Sword Without Oath, he'll definitely contact Gu Xiaoshang. Although Gu Xiaoshang didn't receive an invitation, if she hears this news and Sword Without Oath's persuasion, her chances of coming will greatly increase. And if she were to participate in the auction, the Sword of No Oath would probably only compete symbolically, and might even lend her a helping hand at the last moment. If Gu Xiaoshang doesn't want to compete, then Sword Without Oath will ask her for help. That guy, whether it's giving a favor to Gu Xiaoshang or owing her a favor, he'll spare no effort. Therefore, there's no way we can compete with these two guilds, "Upstream shrugged.
"Oh, so you're saying that Gu Xiaoshang might not come. Guild Leader Upstream, are you sure you don't want to go take a look? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Haha, I don't think I'm wrong." Upstream laughed and didn't say anything else.
Xi Xiaotian was a little flustered. She had calculated everything in her mind, but she had neglected the melodramatic power of love. The legendary power of love that could conquer everything … In the face of this thing, would the Sword of No Oath abandon his greed for the quest?
At this moment, Xi Xiaotian also received a message from Yun Xiang, "Sword Without Oath actually asked if we called Rosy Clouds Guild. I said no, then he asked why we didn't, and then he called it for us. What if the people from Rosy Clouds Guild come? "
Xi Xiaotian didn't include Gu Xiaoshang in the beginning because Rosy Clouds Guild wasn't interested in these things. However, for Sword Ghost and the others, there was another reason why they didn't want Rosy Clouds Guild to participate. Young Master Han! The young master of the Han Clan was currently mingling with Cai Yunjian. Putting aside the fact that he might not be able to see through the plan, if he were to come with Gu Xiaoshang, Gu Feijian and Gui Gui might be able to fool most people with their faces covered, but how could they possibly fool this fellow? When the time came, they would definitely be exposed. If the five guilds worked together, even eight Gu Feis wouldn't be able to survive.
"Don't panic, play your role well." Xi Xiaotian reminded Yun Xiang, then turned to Upstream, "If that's the case, then I'll be taking my leave."
"I won't be sending you off." Upstream didn't say anything and allowed Xi Xiaotian to leave.
"The situation has changed!!" At this moment, the people at the Cloud Suburb Sawmill had already received the news: Upstream wasn't participating in the auction, but the people from Rosy Clouds Guild might participate.
"What do we do?" Everyone started to panic.
"What do you mean? There are still four targets, it's over once we kill them, "Gu Fei said.
"Well, if Young Master is with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide," Brother You said.
"Brother You, are you talking to me?" Gu Fei said.
"Yeah!"
"Then what are you looking at?" Gu Fei asked.
Brother You forced his head to turn around, but he immediately saw Gu Fei's teapot lid hairstyle!
"Don't laugh, laughing is the same as dying!!!" Brother You warned himself sternly, then said, "Young Master and Rosy Clouds Guild have been together recently."
"Brother You, why do you sound so weird?" Gu Fei asked.
"Do I?"
"Of course I do!" Many people said.
Nonsense, how can I not blame him? I'm talking while biting my tongue! If I don't cause some pain, how can I hold back my laughter! Brother You was in pain.
