Chapter 19 Icy Cave on Difficult Difficulty!
Ol 'Three was happily enjoying his meal when he heard a private message, "Little Ci, Little Ci, are you there?"
He picked up the call and saw that it was from Yi Cang. "What's wrong? Yi Cang? "
"Brother He's guild has just been established. We've all joined. You can join now!"
Blade of Steel has been established? That's fast. It's only been a day or two, and it's already been established. Ye Ci was stunned. Yi Cang called her a few more times before she replied, "Okay, find someone to add me."
"Okay, give me a moment!"
Yi Cang went silent after that. Ye Ci continued to throw barbecued meat to Ol 'Three. She decided to learn how to cook when she reached a big city. She wouldn't be able to handle this guy's appetite.
"Peacock Blue invites you to join 'Blade of Steel'."
"Confirm."
"The system can teleport you to the guild encampment for free once. Do you need it?"
Ye Ci thought for a moment. The guild encampment could directly reach a big city. If she teleported there now, she wouldn't have to run around. Since she had already caught her pet and couldn't clear the Icy Cave on Difficult Difficulty, she might as well teleport to the guild encampment and choose a big city to bind her City-recalling Stone to.
She then selected "Yes". The system flashed and Ye Ci and Ol 'Three, who was still gobbling down meat, were teleported away.
Blade of Steel was obviously still recruiting members. The entire guild encampment was in a mess. Many of the necessary guild facilities hadn't been set up yet. She could only hear a lot of people chatting in the guild channel.
After muting the guild channel, Ye Ci walked towards the NPC guard in the guild encampment. Currently, Blade of Steel was a Level 1 Guild. Guilds of this level could receive a buff that increased their HP by 10% for 3 hours from the Residence NPC. They could also teleport to different big cities through the NPC.
After receiving the buff, Ye Ci asked the NPC in the encampment about the distribution of Steel-Blooded Battle Spear members in each major city. After some comparison, Ye Ci finally chose Red Lake City, which did not have any members of Steel-Blooded Battle Spear, as the city where her City-recalling Stone was bound to. After paying 1 silver coin to the NPC, she was immediately teleported out of the guild encampment.
Red Lake City was a bustling city. It got its name from the gigantic red lake in the middle of the city. In all fairness, the city was quite beautiful. However, if you didn't have enough money to take the boat, it would be a very difficult thing to do in this city. Because if you want to do something, you can only rely on swimming or going around half the city.
After arriving at Red Lake City, Ye Ci first reported to the Mayor of the City Hall. After skipping over his nonsense, the Mayor assigned Ye Ci to the Administrative Officer. Ye Ci bound her City-recalling Stone to the Administrative Officer and received a recurring quest, which was to clean up the trash outside Red Lake City.
This recurring quest was given out by the Administrative Officer of every city. However, this quest gave very little experience and money, and even the Reputation of the city was hidden. Therefore, many players were unwilling to do this quest at the start of the game.
However, Ye Ci knew that if she persisted in doing this recurring quest, other than the Reputation of the city, she would also receive a special reward from the Mayor. Unfortunately, the original Ye Ci had never received a special reward from any city. This was because she was constantly changing her City-recalling Stone to avoid being hunted down.
This special reward was accumulated through recurring quests. If the quest was interrupted, she would have to start all over again.
Just as Ye Ci was sweeping the trash from house to house in Red Lake City, Liu Chang was also looking for her in the guild encampment. Leftie and Gleaming Sunshine had finally reached Lvl 5, while Ye Ci had reached Lvl 8. She planned to find a Healer and clear Icy Cave on Hard Mode with the five of them.
However, there was no sign of Ye Ci in the guild encampment. Their private messages could not be reached either. Liu Chang was so anxious that he kept asking Leftie and Gleaming Sunshine, "Yi Cang, Dong Yin, are you sure you added Ye Ci into the guild? Why can't I find her? "
"I'm sure! I'm very, very sure! Wasn't she added into the guild? I personally asked Sis Lan to add her into the guild. I even asked Sis Lan about it! "
"Then where is she now?"
Leftie and Gleaming Sunshine shook their heads at the same time. It was obvious that they had no part in Ye Ci's disappearance.
Liu Chang glared at the two of them. Before he could say anything, Peacock Blue's announcement was broadcasted in the guild channel, "Members who have yet to enter a dungeon can register with Drunken Dream from the United Front. A party leader will be assigned to lead you into a dungeon in an hour."
The announcement was repeated several times. Leftie and Gleaming Sunshine were extremely excited. They immediately went to register, "Liu Chang, since we can't find Ye Ci, why don't we follow them into a few dungeons? It'll be good for us to get some equipment!"
"Didn't Little Ci give each of you a set of equipment?"
"Aiya, we have to go into a dungeon ourselves!" Dong Yin grabbed Liu Chang's arm and dragged her along with Yi Cang to the United Front's Drunken Mengyan to register for a dungeon run.
Ye Ci spent 2 hours cleaning up the trash in Red Lake City. She greeted the grocery store, Life Technician, and various Skill Masters. She also learned Gathering, Skinning, Potion Concoction, and Cooking skills. She then returned to the city hall to hand in her quest.
After handing in her quest, Ye Ci returned to the guild encampment and returned to the Newbie Village.
She ran all the way to Nadasha's place to replenish her arrows before heading to the Icy Cave.
"Icy Cave Normal Difficulty 3 Waiting 2, need a Tank or a Healer!"
"Orc Rogue Begging for Icy Cave Normal Difficulty, pull any party that wants it!"
"Lv 10 Gnome Druil Begging for a dungeon, it can tank and heal, add me if you want it!"
… …
Now that everyone's level had increased, it was impossible to recruit all the players above lv 5. Thus, a large number of players had gathered in front of the Icy Cave and were shouting non-stop. Some of them were looking for parties, while others were looking for players. Those who could not hear all of them could slowly browse through the system channel.
But no matter how she looked, they were all looking for players in Normal Difficulty or parties. She decided to just send a party request.
When she was about to send a message, Ye Ci realized that all of her chat modes had been turned off by the system when she entered Red Lake City. She immediately opened up her private message and map channel and received a private message from Liu Chang, "Damn it! Little Ci, where the hell did you go? "
"When I went to Red Lake City to bind my City-recalling Stone, all my channels were turned off."
Liu Chang did not continue to make things difficult for Ye Ci after knowing the reason. He only complained, "I was looking for you all over the world!"
"What happened?"
"I went to Icy Cave on Hard Difficulty. I was looking for you everywhere, but I couldn't get through. I had no choice but to be dragged away by Dong Yin and Yi Cang to do manual labor."
"Manual labor? What manual labor?"
"The guild commander arranged for the party leader to lead the dungeon, so the three of us were separated. There's nothing wrong with that, right? But when we entered the dungeon, it was extremely difficult. When we finally got equipment, we didn't split it equally. Instead, the party leader took what he needed first, and then handed the best equipment to the guild. The rest of the equipment was divided among us! "
Liu Chang was agitated, "Although I don't care about the equipment, but we all contributed. Why did the four of us only get 1 or 2 equipment, while the party leader got 2 or 3 equipment?"
"This is the normal operating mode of the guild. They need to increase the GS (equipment rating, a direct numerical representation of the quality of the equipment) of the main group, so that they can fight in the Instance Dungeons and push forward the progress. As for the others, they will arrange for them to be in other parties, so you guys will have less equipment in the early stages. "Ye Ci did not mind. This was the normal operating mode of the guild.
"That means we're all substitutes!" Liu Chang was even more depressed after hearing this.
"No, as long as your GS reaches a certain level, you'll be able to enter the dungeon. Your equipment is probably better than your party leader's, so you won't be a substitute." Ye Ci comforted her with a smile. At the same time, she also told Liu Chang that they might have to change their party leader to keep the equipment.
"Aiya, let's not talk about it anymore. The party leader ordered us to fight the boss. I'll contact you later." Liu Chang was still in a bad mood, but after Ye Ci's explanation, she was no longer as agitated. Since their party leader ordered them to fight Shator, she hurriedly turned off the private message.
"Is there anyone who dares to enter Icy Cave on Hard Difficulty? If you're not afraid of death, DPS, second or third! "
Just as Ye Ci was in the middle of a private message, a voice suddenly rang out in her ears. She immediately opened the system chat and sent a party request to the person who made the call.
The other party immediately agreed to her request to join the team.
There was a Dwarven Warrior and a Human Cleric in the party. The Warrior was called Little Cold Hands, and the Cleric was called Cold Little Hands. It was obvious that they were playing together. When they saw Ye Ci enter, they both exclaimed, "Wow, there's someone who's not afraid of death!"
Ye Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry at their exclamation, "Are you saying that you won't die just because you're afraid of death?"
"That makes sense!"
The three of them gathered at the gathering stone. Little Cold Hands shouted a few more times, and a Mage, Grouper Fish, and a Barbarian, A Blade, came in. However, they were not level 10 yet. One of them was level 8, and the other was level 9. They were still under the newbie protection. No wonder they were not afraid of death.
The five of them gathered together. Aside from Little Cold Hands, the others were either Beastmen, Humans, or Elves. They were all tall classes, so Little Cold Hands could only raise his head and say to them, "First of all, none of us have entered the Hard Mode before. Don't be afraid of dying when you enter!"
