Ye Ci walked out of the guild meeting room. The entire fortress was in shambles. Buildings were destroyed by cannonballs, and facilities were destroyed by spells. The players Up Everyday were so engrossed in their battles that no one noticed her cloaked figure. Ye Ci stood at the entrance of the guild hall for a long time before pulling her cloak over her body and making her way out of the fortress.
As soon as she reached the gate, she saw a cloaked figure leaning against the side of the gate. She tilted her head and stared at him for a while before walking up to him with a smile, "Why are you here? This is the Eastern Continent. Aren't you afraid that my guild will kill you?"
The cloaked figure pulled down his cloak and smiled at her, "This is a time of crisis. We may be from opposing continents, but we're allies. It's not a problem for me to be here."
"A time of crisis?" Ye Ci raised an eyebrow, "Is our fight with Golden Era considered a time of crisis?"
"Of course it's not a time of crisis if it's just a fight between you and Golden Era."
"Are you saying that you fought with Golden Era as well?" Ye Ci let out a faint smile. That can't be the case. If that was the case, I would have heard about it. "Fleeting Time, I don't like to keep people in suspense."
Fleeting Time shrugged with a smile, "Little Gongzi, I don't like to be threatened."
With that, the two stared at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
It was strange to say that they had never been together in such a carefree way. In the beginning, the two would fight whenever they met, and they would fight each other again later on. It was a relationship that lasted until Ye Ci suggested that they should try being together.
And this was the first time they met after everything was out in the open. It was a refreshing feeling. There was nothing to hide from each other, and there was no hesitation in their words. They stood together and spoke in a friendly and natural manner.
Ye Ci tilted her head. Even though she looked tired, and there were dark circles under her usually sharp eyes, it was obvious that she had used up a lot of energy in the battle just now. Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes, "How's the rider of the Void Dragon?"
Ye Ci was curious as to how Fleeting Time knew about it, but she did not ask. Fleeting Time must have his reasons for asking such a question. "I feel like I'm fighting with myself." Ye Ci replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Her operation is too similar to mine. It's like looking into a mirror." Ye Ci suddenly remembered that she was imitating Fleeting Time when she first started playing as a Hunter. She wondered how Fleeting Time felt, "How did you feel when we fought for the first time? Do you feel like you're looking into a mirror too? "
Fleeting Time smiled at Ye Ci, "How is that possible? If I were to look into a mirror, I would've been a man."
Ye Ci did not know whether to laugh or cry at Fleeting Time's words. She could only shake her head helplessly. Fleeting Time spoke again, "You're right. Your operation is very similar to mine. But you have your own advantages, and it's those advantages that make me feel different from you."
"What advantages?"
"You have a fearless ruthlessness. I, on the other hand, cherish my life very much in battle. I'll try my best to stay alive if I can."
"I can't tell."
"It's actually a very simple principle. It's just that we interpret it differently." Fleeting Time continued speaking when he saw Ye Ci's raised eyebrows, "You can only deal the most damage if you're alive." He smiled and said, "Regarding this truth, your way of interpreting it is to put death in the way of life, while my way of interpreting it is to kill all the dangers in the bud. Therefore, even though our positioning and maneuvering were similar, our battle forms determined that we were different. Even though I thought that our combat styles were similar at first, I could tell that you're different from me very quickly. "
Ye Ci fell into deep thought as she listened to Fleeting Time's words. She began to compare her combat style with Gongzi Yi's. Fleeting Time did not disturb her when he saw that she was deep in thought. He turned his head away and stared at the mess in the fortress Up Everyday.
Does one's combat style determine one's combat style? Ye Ci recalled the battle between her and Gongzi Yi, and a smile appeared on her face. Fleeting Time was right. If Fleeting Time had not mentioned it, Ye Ci would have never realized that she was a player who was prepared to die in every battle. She was able to pull herself out of a desperate situation. Although Gongzi Yi's mechanics were similar to Ye Ci's, she did not possess the fearlessness that Ye Ci had. It was just like when she was being chased by the Void Dragon. If she were in Gong Ziyi's position, she would have chased after the Void Dragon even if her Stamina was about to be depleted. Even if she were to die, she would have died in the process. However, she hesitated and stopped.
It was because of Gongzi Yi's hesitation that Ye Ci was able to make a comeback in the end.
From the looks of it, Gongzi Yi was the same as him. As long as she didn't have the will to win and was willing to give up everything for this fighting spirit, she wouldn't be his opponent no matter what. Once she understood this, she immediately felt much more comfortable. She was no longer distressed by the battle that she had imagined.
Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief. She smiled at Fleeting Time, who was looking back at her, "By the way, you didn't finish what you wanted to say."
"What did I want to say?"
"Why are you here?"
"Would you believe me if I told you that I'm here to help my father-in-law?" Fleeting Time smiled shamelessly. His words were spoken openly, but the smile on his face was extremely seductive.
Ye Ci would lose if she appeared embarrassed when dealing with a shameless person like Fleeting Time. Ye Ci was not embarrassed at all. She rolled her eyes at Fleeting Time and snorted, "It's too early to say that you're here to help my father-in-law. You can't make a conclusion until you're dead."
Fleeting Time sighed at Ye Ci's words, and shook his head helplessly, "Golden Era is here to talk about a partnership with Genesis."
"Golden Era is so big. From what I know, the number of players in Golden Era is twice that of Genesis. Why would they need to talk about a partnership with Genesis?" Ye Ci was confused, "They'll be able to take over the entire game if they join the game with their newbies."
"Golden Era is not as shallow as they used to be this time. They know that they've made too many enemies in the game. If they don't keep a low profile, they'll be annihilated by the other guilds. They've only been in the game for a short time, so they're keeping a low profile. "Fleeting Time smiled.
"Low profile?" Ye Ci could not help but laugh, "I don't think so. They've already taken over a few leaderboards since they joined the game. How can that be called low profile?"
"I'm talking about low profile when compared to their original state."
Ye Ci gave it some thought. Indeed, Golden Era was keeping a low profile when compared to their original state. She said, "They're not going to ask you to deal with other guilds, are they? I'm sure Genesis will not agree to it. After all, Genesis is a guild with a good reputation. They'll be putting themselves in an awkward position if they agree to Golden Era's request."
"They're here to talk about the Mithril ore vein." Fleeting Time cut straight to the point with Ye Ci, "They've offered us a very high price for the Mithril ore vein, but Absalom rejected their offer. Then, they took a step back. "Fleeting Time stared at Ye Ci without saying a word.
Ye Ci frowned, "Don't tell me that Golden Era is going to join forces with Genesis to deal with Upwards Ho!?"
"You know Golden Era very well." Fleeting Time nodded, "That's exactly what they're saying. The Mithril ore vein in the Southern Continent has been locked down by the Quest Lock. The Mithril ore vein in the Western Continent is in the hands of Genesis, the Northern Continent is in the hands of Star Union, and the Eastern Continent is in the hands of Up Everyday. As for Upwards Ho! … "A smile appeared on Fleeting Time's face," If you were Golden Era, I'd choose Upwards Ho! as my target. "" That's right. "Ye Ci nodded," If you were Golden Era, I'd choose Upwards Ho!.
Despite her anger, Ye Ci had no choice but to admit that Fleeting Time was right. Anyone would choose Up Everyday. They had the fewest members, the newest guild, and no financial backing …
"Did Absalom reject your offer or not?" Ye Ci had already guessed that Absalom had rejected Fleeting Time's offer, but she still decided to ask him about it.
"That's right. That shameless bastard. If I didn't reject him for the sake of my future happiness, he would've been smashed by Golden Era's money." Fleeting Time was in a good mood.
Ye Ci could almost imagine Absalom's conflicted expression as she stared at Absalom's beautiful face. She could not help but chuckle at the sight of it.
"Then he must be very conflicted."
"That's why I'm here," he said with a smile. Fleeting Time tilted his head and looked at Ye Ci, "Genesis would like to be the first guild to form an alliance with Up Everyday. Of course, it would be a system-approved alliance. What do you think of this?"
Ye Ci pursed her lips, "You should talk to The Depth Of A Stranger about this."
"That's a given. But … "
"But what?"
"But, I miss you." If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
