That was way too fast!
Could it be that there were no monsters in the dungeon, only one boss? That was what the normal players thought. But One Sword and the other pioneering teams all felt a chill down their spines. They hurriedly fought monsters, or else if Desert Dust entered another dungeon, they might be able to get the second or third First Clear!
— — There was no rule that said that after a guild cleared a dungeon, they couldn't run another dungeon.
In reality, Zhang Yang did the same thing. He split the team into two. He, Sun Xinyu, Han Yingxue, Wei Yan'er, and Narcissus were in one group. The others were in the other group. They split up to play two five-player dungeons. The reason why they didn't do the other ten-player dungeon was because Red Beauty and Desert Dust's relationship was the best, so they didn't want to do it. Also, Red Beauty's strength was second only to Desert Dust's. If they started at the same time, then Zhang Yang would definitely win, but it was hard to say now.
Although they had split up, the difficulty of the Instance Dungeon had dropped from a ten-man Instance Dungeon to a five-man Instance Dungeon. Furthermore, Zhang Yang's party had three S-rank Legacies and two A-rank Legacies. No matter where they went, it was impossible for a second party to surpass them.
They cleared Normal Mode in 11 minutes, Hard Mode in 13 minutes, and Death Mode in 15 minutes!
Unfortunately, when they reached the last boss in Death Mode, Samsara just happened to kill the final boss. The system started spamming notifications. They were so close! But after just a minute, the system started spamming again — — Zhang Yang's team had refreshed the Death Mode clear time!
This made Samsara's five-player team break out in a cold sweat. If Zhang Yang's team had been just a little bit faster, they would have been eating sh * t!
What a pity!
In just an hour, the death mode of all six dungeons had been cleared. However, something unexpected happened. The Yan Huang Guild actually failed miserably. They didn't get the first clear of the dungeon they had 'reserved', and it fell into the hands of a guild called 'Crimson Flames'!
The China server had obtained the First Clear of six dungeons in one go. Naturally, everyone was excited, and Scarlet Flame borrowed this momentum to become famous overnight. Many players were guessing where this guild had suddenly come from, to be able to suppress a top-tier guild like Yan Huang Guild!
In reality, this wasn't Scarlet Flame's true strength. It could only be said that their top players had the qualifications to challenge Yan Huang Guild. In terms of core member strength, no new guild could compare to an established guild!
It was just like how Desert Dust could sweep any dungeon, but at the beginning, his guild's strength couldn't compare to Red Beauty or Ling Tian. Even Tyrant wasn't his match! But by relying on the First Clear after First Clear, Desert Dust quickly rose to prominence. He recruited many experts, pushing his strength to the top, and in the end, he could laugh at the world!
For new guilds, obtaining the First Clear of a dungeon was the fastest and best way for them to make a name for themselves.
Without a doubt, the Crimson Flame Guild had succeeded. It would not be long before it became a large Guild. However, whether or not they could grow into a top-tier Guild depended on whether or not they could continue to display such spectacular performances.
Zhang Yang and the others had obtained the First Clear of an Instance Dungeon. Each of them received a Skill Point, consecutively breaking two Death Mode race records. Although they did not receive any Skill Points, the System still gave them some Level 5 Gems.
However, Zhang Yang was very dissatisfied. Now that he had started to walk the path of strength, he needed strength gems. What was the point of giving him strength gems? He could only toss the gem to Limitless Starlight, who was so happy that he kept calling him boss. Sure enough, he was generous. It would be best if he gave him that Devouring Sword as well. Zhang Yang sent him flying with a kick.
Although Zhang Yang didn't mind the competition from other guilds, he still sent someone to investigate the background of the Scarlet Flame Guild. This player, who was extremely good at probing, quickly brought back some information. In fact, the Scarlet Flame Guild didn't intend to hide it. They publicly announced that as long as a player was strong enough, they could join the guild. Moreover, they would receive a considerable amount of gold as a monthly subsidy. The stronger one was, the more the subsidy.
They divided the players into five categories: top-tier experts, first-rate experts, mid-tier players, gatherers, and crafters.
Gathering and manufacturing classes were relatively easy to determine. Gathering classes required players to gather a certain amount of ores and herbs within a certain amount of time. Gathering classes were divided into Advanced, Intermediate, and Common classes. Their salaries were also divided into 5,000, 3,000, and 2,000. As for the Manufacturing Faculty, it depended on the blueprints they had. The rarer the blueprints, the higher the grade. There were also 5,000, 3,000, and 2,000 Spirit Stones.
This treatment was actually quite good. Most people could work during the day and earn some extra money at night. However, the crafters could rest easy with the blueprints. Gathering classes, on the other hand, had a much harder time. After all, they weren't idiots who would just give you money. Even the 2,000 Gold Spirit Stones required them to gather a certain amount of herbs every day. It was extremely tiring, and there was basically no time to level up.
As for determining the top-tier experts, first-rate experts, and mid-tier players, the Scarlet Flame Guild used a very simple test. They used experts from 13 classes in the guild as examiners. Every player who wished to join the guild would compete with them. Those who could defeat them were top-tier experts, those who were tied were first-rate experts, and those who lasted a certain amount of time were mid-tier players.
Even for mid-tier players, the guild would give them a monthly subsidy of 3,000 Gold. First-rate experts would receive 10,000 Gold. As for top-tier experts, they had to sign a contract. The exact amount varied from person to person.
If a Level 4 guild had 40,000 members, even if they only received 3,000 Gold per person, it would still be a huge investment of 120 million Gold per month! As for the output, there were only two types: gathering and manufacturing. However, these two types couldn't have too many players. Otherwise, it would definitely affect the guild's strength.
Who was the boss of this guild? How did he dare to burn so much money?
However, if they could really fill up the ranks with players, Scarlet Flame would instantly jump into the ranks of the top guilds. After all, even top guilds like Emperor Sky and Samsara only had this kind of strength. The key was how many top-tier experts and first-rate experts they could make up!
For example, Desert Dust's mid-tier players weren't much different from the other big guilds. However, in terms of top-tier and first-rate experts, Desert Dust was full of talented players. Zhang Yang, Sun Xinyu, and Absent Dreams were all absolute powerhouses!
Just looking at the China server's individual strength rankings, Desert Dust occupied 12 spots. He had 5 and 6 more than the second and third ranked Beauty and Emperor Sky, respectively! In the class branch rankings, Desert Dust occupied at least 10% of the spots, firmly establishing their advantage in terms of numbers.
Scarlet Flame had only been established for seven days. Death's Abyss was their first attempt, but they had achieved amazing results. They stepped on Yan Huang Guild's face and appeared in the eyes of all the players in the China server. This guild was unusually high profile. Their experts all rushed into the individual strength rankings, quickly occupying a large portion of the rankings.
As expected, as long as they were willing to throw money around, experts could jump out from nowhere!
There was no lack of experts in the China server, but because of various reasons, they hadn't made a name for themselves. For example, Zhang Yang in the previous life. Although he had top-tier strength, because of his level disadvantage and lack of support from a powerful guild, his equipment couldn't improve. He could only perform at the level of a first-rate expert!
However, the guild leader of Scarlet Flame was extremely mysterious. Up until now, no one had seen him. They could only see his name on the guild list as "Young Master Long."
After obtaining the First Clear of Death Mode, Scarlet Flame began to openly recruit people. In Crimson Sun City's Arena, 13 experts of various classes came to test the strength of the players who applied to join the guild.
"Anemic Warrior, an expert like me, no, an expert, why have you never paid me a salary?" Wei Yan 'er forcefully dragged Zhang Yang, Han Ying Xue, and Sun Xinyu to Crimson Sun City to watch the competition. She raised her head and put her hands on her hips as she questioned Zhang Yang.
"Hey, little girl, you have to touch your conscience when you speak! Didn't my shop give you a 5% commission? It doesn't count how much you make in a month! "
Wei Yan 'er was very obedient. As expected, she used her right hand to touch the left side of her chest. However, her little face immediately became angry. She scolded, "Idiot, Anemic Warrior, you're too bad!"
Zhang Yang was stunned. What was wrong with the little girl?
Han Ying Xue laughed out loud and used her hand to touch her proud chest. She said, "Yan 'er touched the airport runway and triggered the pain in my heart!"
… So that's how it is!
"Han Ying Xue, you're not allowed to say airport runway or flat breasts again. Otherwise, I'll cut off all ties with you!"
The arena's large screen would display the results of every match. The majority of players were very interested in Crimson Flame's recruitment method, so they stopped sparring with each other. In fact, ever since the individual ranking competition was introduced, the arena had been deserted to the point where even sparrows of birds could be seen.
Therefore, every applicant's victory or defeat could be seen on the big screen. But how could there be so many experts? After half an hour, no one was able to defeat the 13 "main examiners". Only a small number of people were able to join Scarlet Flame and obtain the "core player" treatment.
Some of these 13 examiners were more restrained, but a few of them were the type that deserved to be slapped. They began to curse and swear, saying that those without skill shouldn't waste their time. Their choice of words was extremely vulgar. Even though they were indeed experts, this kind of quality … At least, Zhang Yang definitely wouldn't accept these kinds of people into his guild.
He yawned and said, "Little girl, why aren't we leveling? What are you looking at here for?"
"Hehe, don't you think those bastards are asking for a beating?" Wei Yan 'er waved her battle axe. "What kind of stupid guild is this? They actually dare to say that they want to defeat our Desert Dust. Hmph hmph hmph, today I'm here to cause trouble!"
Every guild knew how to shout slogans. Who knew how many small guilds dreamed of defeating Desert Dust and becoming number one in the China server! Zhang Yang would never suppress any guild because of this, but to use defeating Desert Dust as a gimmick to recruit people, this was something that only Scarlet Flame would dare to do.
