As early as a few years ago, people knew that the most precious thing in the 21st century was talent. There were three types of talents that were absolutely indispensable in building a guild.
First, a charismatic leader.
Second, a strategist with wisdom.
Third, an assassin with strong combat abilities.
The first type of talent only needed one, the second type of talent depended on the size of the guild, and the third type of talent was the more the better. Every player in the game could be considered as the third type of talent.
However, a mage like Gu Fei who could insta-kill anyone with a wave of his hand was a talent that was second to none. He was the best of the third type, and could take on the role of a core assassin in any major guild.
A core assassin usually had the strength to fight a group of people alone. As the core of a team, the entire team would revolve around him to create a unique strategy that could maximize his power.
Assassin players were everywhere, but there were too few who could become a core assassin. This kind of peerless expert would either have a solid amount of RMB as a backing, or have the unparalleled luck of triggering a hidden mission just by taking a fall, or they would have a close team that had strong relationships with each other, and everyone would work together to create such an expert.
Among the Five Roaches in the parallel world, Slim Waist Dancer was definitely the first type. Players like Southblade and Deepwater, these two professional players, most likely had the support of a studio and were part of the power of a group. The situation of the other two was temporarily unknown.
As the main character, Gu Fei could basically be considered as the second type of talent with luck. In addition to the unusual incident of bringing a full set of martial arts skills into the game, he had directly stepped into the Five Roaches' territory.
Therefore, it was not difficult to understand why the guild leaders who had seen Gu Fei's powerful spells would always remember him.
That night, when Gu Fei was sleeping peacefully, Singing Wine and Yunmu held an emergency meeting that very night to discuss the issue of discovering this powerful mage.
Originally, Singing With Wine had already started working on this project yesterday, but the reply that Purple Crystal Rebirth had promised them had yet to be heard from them. As for Against the Current, he was too embarrassed to pursue the matter. After all, even a blind man could tell that he was trying to poach Aqua Rose. It was only natural that Aqua Rose would keep quiet about it.
After learning that the Yunmu Guild had been defeated by the reborn Amethyst in the tournament, Countercurrent immediately realized that they could no longer afford to offend the powerful sorcerer. The people from Yunmu must be making their move as soon as possible. That was why Countercurrent gathered more people overnight to find out more about the sorcerer's background.
In the offices of the two major guilds, the leaders of the two major guilds said the same thing, "We have to be quick, we have to find out the Mage's identity before Yunmu, we have to make contact with him!"
Even the plans discussed in the meeting were very similar.
Firstly, coming into contact with the reborn Amethyst was naturally the fastest and most effective method. He had to think of a way to try it.
Secondly, there might be people who could recognize the reborn Amethyst's opponents within a few days.
Thirdly, get in touch with everyone in Cloud City. There might be people who could recognize the sorcerer.
Lastly, he had to emphasize that he could not reveal that the sorcerer was a powerful character. He had to find out more about him in the right way to avoid attracting the attention of the second Yunmu Guild member.
With that being the case, there was a slight difference in how the two guilds carried out the plan.
Singing Wine was indeed a major guild full of talents. When they mentioned getting in touch with the reborn Amethyst, a few handsome guys who claimed to be experts in picking up girls immediately volunteered. They claimed that if they were to launch an attack together, there would definitely be people in the reborn Amethyst Guild who would be charmed. Then, they would ask questions without leaving any traces behind. When Countercurrent heard that it was a good idea, he immediately approved the few handsome guys to pick up girls. He also promised that if they succeeded, the guild would bear all the expenses incurred in the process.
On the other hand, the Yunmu Guild was not inferior to the men. The one who volunteered was a female player. The plan was to apply to join the reborn Amethyst Guild. By then, there was no need to say anything. All they had to do was look at the guild's member list and the truth would be revealed. It was very simple. Unchung Mutsu nodded in approval when he heard that it was a good idea. He also promised that he would find a way to compensate for the guild's losses due to quitting the guild due to the mission.
The execution of the second plan was relatively more consistent. They started from the website. They would first check who the reborn Amethyst Guild's opponent was before contacting them.
Both of them were small guilds that were completely out of Countercurrent's and Unchung Mutsu's sights. It was not easy to find out who the members of these unknown guilds were. Fortunately, they could find out who the guild leaders of these two guilds were in the guild building.
Countercurrent and Unchung Mutsu entered the guild building almost at the same time. Both of them were leaders of major guilds in Cloud City. Although they did not know each other personally, they still recognized each other when they bumped into each other. Both of them guessed the other's intentions when they saw the same route. They smiled awkwardly at each other and went about their own business without saying a word.
The names of the two guild leaders were quickly found out. The first one was added as a friend. He was not online.
The second one … When they saw the name, Countercurrent and Unchung Mutsu's hearts skipped a beat.
Tsubasa Sakuratsuka was actually a top player on the Level Ranking Leaderboard. Even if this kind of expert was online, the friend switch would not be turned on.
The two of them tried it out, and sure enough, it was true. When they walked out of the building with a gloomy expression, the two of them met again. When they thought that the other party must have experienced the same thing as them, they could not help but feel a little better.
Actually, there was still a loophole, but the two of them did not know about it. However, they could not be blamed for this. Who would have thought that Tsubasa Sakuratsuka's friend option would be so wretched as to only allow female characters to add him as a friend …
Plan two obviously needed time to continue, so it could be carried out at the same time as Plan three. The two guilds sent out a large number of people to follow up on Cloud City and its surrounding areas.
"Do you know a male player in Amethyst?" This was a common question that everyone asked.
There were only two answers.
First: Huh? Did Amethyst accept male players as well?
Second: F * ck! Why are you asking again? Who are you?
Due to the lack of scientific consultation and unity, coupled with the player's mobility, many players were harassed by this question multiple times. Some of the more fragile ones could not take it anymore and ran to the offline area to log off with tears streaming down their faces. That night, Cloud City had the lowest number of players online since the game's launch. It was all because of the two guilds' questions.
What was even more tragic was that there was still no conclusion.
During the search, they met Amethyst's opponent from the first two rounds. The conversation was as follows.
"You guys fought with Amethyst before, right?"
"Yes!"
The entire guild was shaking hands excitedly when they heard the news. They finally found her! They quickly asked, "Do you know there's a male wizard in their guild?"
"Yes."
With tears in their eyes, everyone hugged each other. This matter was finally coming to an end. "What's the wizard's name?" They pricked up their ears, afraid that they had misheard.
"How would I know?" The other party retorted.
@ # $% &
The people of the two great guilds had played the question and answer game for an entire night, so their nerves had become somewhat weak. They had unexpectedly forgotten that even if it was these two guilds, it was more likely that they were in the same situation as Song and Wine and Yunmu. The entire guild had seen this person, but no one knew his name.
"I live in the Martial World, and the Martial World is filled with legends about me, but no one knows who I am …" A blurry figure in black appeared in front of countless people from the two guilds, and spoke slowly to everyone.
When Upstream and Unchung Mutsu rested at a tavern in the city, it was already the 47th time that the two of them had met by chance that night.
Before this, the two of them had met at the 46th corner of Cloud City. As the guild leader, of course he had to set an example. The number of questions and answers they had played was no less than any other guild member.
Now that they had met again, the hostility from before had completely disappeared, and was replaced by mutual appreciation.
"Sit!" Upstream said weakly to Unchung Mutsu.
Unchung Mutsu sat across from Upstream with a tired face, and waved at the tavern's waiter, "Wine."
"How are things on your side?" Upstream asked.
"Why are you asking? I'm the same as you." Unchung Mutsu said. This question shouldn't have been asked. Their expressions were carved from the same mold, and it could be seen how similar their situations were.
"Sigh!" They both let out a long sigh, and Unchung Mutsu's wine was brought over.
"Cheers to you, you've worked hard!" Unchung Mutsu raised his cup to Upstream.
"You've worked hard too." Upstream smiled bitterly, and the two cups clinked together, and both drank it in one gulp.
"I don't understand, such a strong person, why isn't he famous at all?" Unchung Mutsu said.
Upstream shook his head, "Maybe there are too few people who are pulling all-nighters. If it was during the day, we might have gotten something."
"Hmm, maybe!" Unchung Mutsu also agreed with this statement. This was because their first plan was always killed because of this reason.
The girls from Amethyst who were reborn didn't seem to be online during the night.
The group of handsome guys sent out by Drunken Songs went around the city and created coincidental encounters. Every time they met a girl, they would ask, "Are you Amethyst?", and when they heard that they weren't, they would turn around and leave. Soon, many girls in Cloud City were angry. What's the meaning of this? So what if you're not Amethyst? Do you want to be looked down upon?
This time, all the girls in Cloud City were offended. A few of the girls who were good at picking up girls didn't know that if they wanted to pick up girls from now on, they would have to go far away.
The spy sent out by Yunmu Guild went straight to Amethyst's office, but there was no one there either. The guild leader wasn't online either. In order to show their sincerity in joining the guild, they simply waited there like idiots, and were even sitting at the door! After that, the group of girls from Drunken Songs mistook them as members of Amethyst, and went up to try to please them. When they finally understood, both sides almost got into a fight.
"Sigh!" Speaking of this, both of them shook their heads. This happened on the 40th time they met, and it was resolved through negotiation. At the same time, their first plan was seen through by the other party, and I immediately used it. However, Drunken Songs quickly found a candidate for the female spy. Yunmu Guild also wanted to get a few handsome guys to seduce them, but no one dared to do so despite the generous reward. Because of this, Unchung Mutsu was still a little indignant.
"I say, what are you going to do next?" Against the Current asked.
"This …" Unchung Mutsu hesitated.
"Sigh, why can't I say it? If we keep going like this, I guarantee that in the end, we'll only find out one step after another, and neither of us will be faster than the other. Do you believe me? "
"That's not what I mean, I just haven't thought of what to do next," Unchung Mutsu said.
"I don't think it's a good idea to keep asking. How many players are there in Cloud City?"
"One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand? "Unchung Mutsu said.
"Both are possible!" Against the Current nodded seriously. "How long do we have to keep asking? You have to know that our guilds only have around one thousand people in total, and we can't guarantee that we won't repeat our questions. "
"You still dare to ask repeated questions? If we repeat any more, I think our guild will be kicked out of Cloud City, "Unchung Mutsu said.
Against the Current smiled slyly. "Heh, I won't lie to you. Last night, everyone who asked who we were, I told them to say that we were from Mudcloud Guild."
Unchung Mutsu paused for a moment, and then suddenly laughed out loud.
"What's wrong?" Against the Current was confused.
Unchung Mutsu couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't say anything. He waved his hands randomly, and then pointed at Against the Current, and then pointed at himself.
After watching him for a while, Against the Current suddenly realized. "You're saying that the people in your guild all say that they're drinking and singing?"
Unchung Mutsu laughed and nodded.
"F * ck!" Against the Current cursed. Then, he began to recall just how many times the two Guilds had coincidentally come into contact with each other. Then, he counted the forty-seven times they had met.
47 times … F * ck, why am I so bored? I'm actually counting in my heart. Thinking up to this point, Against the Current suddenly asked Unchung Mutsu, "How many times did we meet tonight?"
Unchung Mutsu gradually stopped laughing, and then answered, "48 times."
"Huh? 48? How did I count 47? Did you get it wrong? "Against the Current said.
"That's right," Unchung Mutsu replied. "I saw you once, but you didn't see me. So, you probably didn't count. "
"Since I didn't see you, of course it doesn't count, so you shouldn't count," Against the Current said.
"Uh, I'm counting how many times I'll meet you, not how many times we'll meet," Unchung Mutsu said.
"Tsk tsk tsk …" The two sighed together.
As they were talking, the tavern door suddenly opened, and a person rushed in, shouting at Against the Current, "Guild leader, I thought of an idea. Why don't we put up an advertisement! If we put it up everywhere in Cloud City, then people who know about it will contact us. Maybe the Mage will see it and contact us himself! "
Against the Current's expression changed, "You could've just sent a message, why did you come here?"
"Huh? I just happened to pass by here, and I know you're drinking here. What's wrong? "
Against the Current didn't say anything, but the person sitting across from him slowly turned around, and laughed at the player, "That's a good idea!"
"Unchung Mutsu???" The player almost fainted. Now he knew why Against the Current was blaming him. But he didn't expect the two of them to be sitting together drinking.
"F * ck, what a good idea, and you picked it up for nothing," Against the Current said angrily.
"Don't worry, I won't listen to you for nothing," Unchung Mutsu said.
"That's more like it. Let me know when you get the news!" Against the Current said.
"What are you talking about?" Unchung Mutsu looked at him in surprise.
"Huh? Why … "
"What I mean is, your drink is on me! Do you think I'll let you know when I get the news? "Unchung Mutsu laughed.
Against the Current thought too highly of himself, and made a fool out of his boss. His face darkened, "Don't be so happy. You're talking like you'll definitely get the news. Don't forget, our guild has more people than yours."
"Yeah, more idiots," Unchung Mutsu laughed.
"F * ck, let's go!" Against the Current angrily left with the players from his guild.
Seeing that Gu Fei was about to be discovered again, the two's previous camaraderie immediately disappeared, and they once again stood at the starting line of the competition.
Unchung Mutsu wasn't in a hurry to leave. He sat at his original table and didn't move. Not long after, a few people came to find him.
"What's up, boss?" they asked as soon as they entered.
Unchung Mutsu laughed, "I was just sitting with Against the Current for a while, and one of their underlings came in and gave him an idea. Unfortunately, I shared it with him."
"What idea?" they asked.
"Put up an advertisement!" Unchung Mutsu said.
"Oh?" their eyes immediately lit up.
"It's not a bad idea, right? Hurry up and write more. Not only will we put it up, we'll also distribute it on the streets like flyers. No matter where it goes, as long as someone sees it, they'll find us. Write a big reward! "Unchung Mutsu said.
"How much is the reward?" someone asked.
"This …" Unchung Mutsu hesitated. It wasn't a matter of money. The main thing was that this method was also used on Treat Wine as Songs. If they really put a price tag on it, the two guilds would probably start a price war. If that continued, the information seller would only benefit from it. He would probably have to discuss this with Against the Current.
Just as Unchung Mutsu was thinking about this, Against the Current suddenly rushed in from outside the tavern. He went straight to Unchung Mutsu and said, "Let me tell you something."
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Unchung Mutsu muttered in his heart. He wants to go together again?
"You guys wouldn't be stupid enough to write down the reward, right?" Against the Current asked.
As expected, he wanted to go together again. Unchung Mutsu was surprised. In the end, he shook his head and smiled, "Of course not, I know what you're worried about."
"Oh, that's good. We can still work together when we need to!" Against the Current smiled.
"You're right." Unchung Mutsu nodded.
"Then let me see how you're going to write it." Against the Current calmly stood to the side. Unchung Mutsu's trusted aides were already leaning on the table and writing. Once they finished writing, they would send the content to the guild channel and the others would copy it accordingly.
Now that there was such a competitor standing right beside them, the person writing the article naturally felt uncomfortable. He raised his head and stared blankly at Against the Current.
"Shoo shoo shoo, what are you trying to do!" Unchung Mutsu pushed Against the Current to the side.
"My two bosses, are you really not going to write down the reward?" A voice suddenly floated over.
The two looked towards the source of the voice and saw a beautiful woman standing up from a nearby table. She was walking towards them.
The two looked at each other and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
"If you don't write down the reward, I really don't know who I should sell this information to!" The beautiful woman said.
"What information?" The two asked in unison.
"The level 39 Sorcerer who's reborn Amethyst!" The beautiful woman said with a smile.
The two looked at each other again and asked, "Are you Amethyst who's reborn?"
"No." The beautiful woman shook her head, "I just happen to know what you guys want to know."
"Oh? How do you know? "
"Because I know the person you're looking for." The beautiful woman said.
"What's his name?" The two asked in unison.
The beautiful woman was still smiling, but she didn't say anything.
"Oh …" The two came to their senses. Against the Current thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Beautiful, don't leave yet!" He then pulled Unchung Mutsu to the side.
