"How did they know you were here and purposely came here to ambush you?" Gu Fei said.
"This …" Cloud Twilight was a bit embarrassed, but he still told the truth. "Our Ten Guild Alliance has a total of four thousand brothers, but there are people from other guilds among them. We've noticed this a few times during guild PvP. However, there's no way to find out who they are, so we can only let them be. It looks like Mei Yan has a mole in the guild. Everyone in the guild knows that we invited you guys here to teach us efficient leveling methods. This guy probably heard about it and came to ambush me. This bastard has done this a few times already. "
"If he knew so clearly, then he should have thought that you wouldn't be alone. However, he only came with eight people. This kind of arrangement doesn't seem like he's going to ambush a team. It seems like he thinks that you're here alone. "Gu Fei said.
Cloud Twilight was startled. After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that something wasn't right. This guy brought eight Thieves with him. From the looks of it, it seemed like he was ready to take a bite and leave. However, Mei Yan was someone who left the guild. Both sides knew each other very well. If he didn't think that Cloud Twilight was alone, he definitely wouldn't have used this kind of tactic. This was because Cloud Morning's team often had people with anti-stealth skills. Sending eight Thieves as a team was tantamount to suicide.
Cloud Twilight furrowed his eyebrows and began to think, "If he had a mole, then even if he wanted to ambush me, he wouldn't have made this kind of arrangement. If he didn't have a mole, then he shouldn't know where I am … Could it be that this guy is just passing by and is actually here to level up?"
"From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he's just passing by and coincidentally bumping into you." Gu Fei said.
"That's true. What kind of eight Thieves would come out to level together … What the hell is this bastard doing?"
"I'm afraid he's not the one behind this." Gu Fei said.
"Brother Qianli, what do you mean?" Cloud Twilight hurriedly asked.
"You just said it yourself! If he had information, then he wouldn't have come. If he didn't, then he shouldn't have come. But now that he's here, there's only one explanation. He received false information. "Gu Fei said.
"Are the two of you talking about tongue twisters?" Master of the Hundred Eras was puzzled. No one paid any attention to him.
"False information?" Yun Zhongmu mumbled. "Could it be that someone framed this grandson?"
"That I'm not sure. Perhaps it's a trap, or perhaps it's a use." Gu Fei said.
"Use? Wu, this idiot being used like a spear really is his style. "Cloud in Twilight muttered.
"Anyway, be careful. We'll be leaving first!" Gu Fei patted him on the back. He guessed that this was an internal conflict between guilds in Moonlit City.
"Take care." Cloud in Twilight didn't send them off again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Fei's words made sense. Someone was probably behind this. As for the purpose of tricking Mei Yan, Cloud in Twilight didn't know, and even more so, he didn't know who was behind this. Half of the guilds in Moonlit City had conflicts with the Ten Guilds Alliance, especially the bigger ones.
Gu Fei and Master of the Hundred Eras and Cloud in Twilight parted ways at the entrance of the valley. The two returned to the city, and Cloud in Twilight went back into the valley. Inside the valley, a group of players who hadn't eaten dinner were still practicing like a raging fire. Cloud in Twilight went over and dragged a few of them off the field. He told them what he had just experienced.
"Strategist, what do you think?" Cloud in Twilight asked a Mage among the brothers.
This strategist's name was The First Strategist, so it was easy to tell what this player liked. It didn't matter if the idea was good or bad, this guy could come up with ideas for anything. It was no wonder he was called a Burning Bun. Although the success rate of his ideas wasn't high, Cloud in Twilight and the others were used to letting him speak first when they discussed things. Everyone had come up with such a name! They had to give him some face.
The First Strategist immediately cleared his throat and said, "There's no doubt that someone is behind this. I think it's either Mixed Hair or Proud Egg."
Mixed Hair and Proud Egg were the leaders of the two level 5 guilds in Moonlit City. It must've been hard for these two to be able to build two such large guilds in Moonlit City, where the Ten Guilds Alliance could do whatever they wanted. Now that they were working together, they were the leaders of the farmers in Moonlit City against the Ten Guilds Alliance.
Mixed Hair and Proud Egg were called the same as Cloud in Twilight. In fact, these two players were called Weeds and Proud Emperor, but in Cloud in Twilight's mouth, one was called Mixed Hair, and the other was called Egg.
"Can you say something useful?" Cloud Twilight rolled his eyes. When he realized that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, he immediately thought of these two as their guild's greatest enemies. However, this was also the style of a strategist. His plans had always been shallow and superficial. Everyone could think of them.
"Yes, as for what these two grandsons want to do, I still have to think about it." The First Strategist said.
"Okay, think on the side!" Cloud in Twilight waved his hand and looked at the other brothers. They were the ones who really came up with ideas.
"I think they're here for this, right?" One of the brothers pouted at the Childe Elite Group and Jian Nan You, who were leveling up. Of course, he wasn't referring to these people, but the efficient leveling method they represented.
Outside of Secluded Night Valley, Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jinglun were rushing back to the main city, but they were stopped halfway. Gu Fei thought that Charming Words had gathered people to take revenge and was about to defend himself. However, the leader of the other party came up to them with a smile. "Sorry for disturbing you two. Let me introduce myself. I am the guild leader of Moonlit Night City's Proud Sky Guild, Proud Emperor. This is the guild leader of Miscellaneous Things, Weeds. I have something to discuss with you two. Is it convenient for you two?"
Gu Fei was a bit disappointed when he heard that it wasn't a fight. However, he obviously wouldn't be so unreasonable as to reject Qianli just because he was in a hurry to eat dinner. He immediately said, "What is it?"
"Haha, it's like this. Didn't you two recently set up a studio to teach efficient leveling methods? We're here for that, and we have something to discuss with you two. "Proud Emperor said.
Gu Fei heard this and laughed. "Which leveling area do you want?"
Proud Emperor smiled. "All of them."
Hearing this, Gu Fei was stunned. "All of them?"
Proud Emperor nodded. "All of them. It means all of the leveling areas in the game."
Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jinglun looked at each other. They didn't understand what this person meant.
"Haha, actually, I was just talking about our identity as players in the game. I have another identity that I haven't introduced to you two. Here's my name card. "Proud Emperor reached into his pocket and took out two badge-like things.
Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jinglun took them in confusion. They realized that it was a name card made of an unknown material. The words on it were carved: Ying Qi Workshop Moonlit Night City Branch Manager: Proud Emperor. There was also an email address. Other than that, there was no other complicated information. In game, an ID was enough, and an email address was for offline contact when needed.
"Ying Qi Workshop …" Gu Fei frowned and said. "I think I've heard of it somewhere. Do you know?" Gu Fei turned his head and asked Hundred Realms Jinglun.
"I don't know." Hundred Realms Jinglun immediately shook his head. He and Gu Fei were noobs in the game.
Proud Emperor smiled and said, "When we were in Shady Forest City, our branch had some dealings with you, Brother Qianli."
Hearing Proud Emperor's words, Gu Fei immediately remembered it. Their camouflage equipment had come from this studio when they were dealing with Deep Water in Shady City. At that time, he and the Sword Ghost had even stayed in their clothing workshop with Lu Ke.
"No wonder it sounds familiar!" Gu Fei smiled and put the name card and badge in his pocket. Proud Emperor stared and wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back. It wasn't easy to carve out such an exquisite badge in the game. Proud Emperor's name card was actually given to people to see, and when people exclaimed "Wow, Ying Qi Studio", he would take the opportunity to take the name card back. In fact, it wasn't a gift.
In the end, not only were they unable to use their great name to boost their prestige, their name cards were confiscated by Gu Fei instead. Furthermore, Hundred Eras Jinglun followed suit and also put away his name cards. The Proud Emperor lost two of his name cards at once, which made him feel very distressed.
"Why are you looking for us from the studio?" Gu Fei asked.
"Uh, I don't know what the two of you think about the future of this efficient leveling method?" Proud Emperor said.
"The future is not bad." Gu Fei's answer was equivalent to not answering.
"Hehe, of course the future is good." Proud Emperor continued to smile and said, "It's just that according to your current operating model, it's a bit hard to say whether you can maximize its potential!"
"Really? Why do you say that? "Gu Fei asked.
Proud Emperor saw that Gu Fei's interest had been aroused, and immediately began to explain with great spirit: "Then I'll tell you the truth. There's nothing wrong with your operating model, but you have a fatal flaw, which is the lack of manpower. This has led to the fact that although you have infinite resources in your hands, you are unable to spread them to the entire game market in one go. At present, you have only developed the two leveling areas of Baishi Wilderness Camp and White Mill. This slow pace really has a lot of hidden dangers. "
Proud Emperor paused and looked at Gu Fei, but did not see the anxious expression on his face because of the "hidden dangers". Slightly disappointed, he could only continue: "First of all, let me make an analogy, the first to master the efficient leveling method, and the players who have not yet mastered the efficient leveling method, these two groups are actually equivalent to two groups that have a gap between the rich and the poor. The contradiction between these two groups is absolutely impossible to reconcile. In the end, the common point of this contradiction can only be the source of this contradiction … … Of course, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the efficient leveling method, because this situation can be avoided, but unfortunately, you don't have enough manpower, leading to this contradiction that is not conducive to further development. And according to my observation, there is another kind of contradiction that has arisen, that is, mastering the efficient leveling method, but because the leveling area is saturated with people, they can't level in peace. This is also a factor that is not conducive to development, and similarly, if there is enough manpower, this situation can be avoided. "
"Well, it makes sense." Gu Fei nodded.
Proud Emperor seemed to be encouraged, very happy, and then said: "There is another point, I'm afraid it will come from the pressure of the game company. Although the efficient leveling method is completely developed by the players, to put it bluntly, it is a set of monster fighting guide, but according to my observation, it is actually a set of relatively mechanical monster fighting method. This kind of monster fighting method, at first because of the crazy increase in experience, but after getting used to it, the mechanical repetition of the method will greatly increase the fatigue, will produce a mentality of weariness, and will avoid leveling, then the time to leave the game will not be too long, this is not something that the game company is willing to see. More importantly, the efficient leveling method speeds up the players leveling speed, and the increase in the player leveling speed means that the game progress is faster, this also means that the game life is shortened. For example, the original plan for the players to reach level 50 in two years, because of the popularization of the efficient leveling method, the players reached level 50 in a year. Then in this extra year, what method will the game company use to attract the players to continue to struggle in the game? If there is no effective game content to attract the players, it will inevitably cause a large number of players to leave, so this will obviously increase the work pressure and burden of the game company. Therefore, this kind of thing that destroys the rhythm of the game, they will definitely not sit idly by. I reckon that at present, they should already be secretly evaluating this efficient leveling method, once it is confirmed that it is harmful, they will definitely think of a way to eliminate it by hook or by crook. This is a business that cannot be done slowly, it needs to be quiet, then amazing the world with a single brilliant feat. Once we make a move, we will spread the efficient leveling method to the entire game, and achieve the maximum benefit in one go. This way, even if the game company makes any adjustments, our loss of profit will already be minimized. But if we continue to operate like you do now, it will be fine now, but when two or three more leveling areas are opened, the game company will definitely make a move, at that time we can only watch as a large amount of business disappear. "
This time, Proud Emperor did not pause, and finished his speech in one breath. This was the longest speech that Gu Fei had ever heard since he entered the game. He looked at Hundred Era Statesman beside him, as if he was about to fall asleep listening to it.
Proud Emperor saw that the two of them were a little dazed, and thought that they were shocked by his wonderful long speech. Licking his somewhat dry lips, he said with a desire to continue: "There's still …"
"There's still more?" Gu Fei was shocked.
When Proud Emperor saw his reaction, it seemed that he could no longer listen to it, and hurriedly changed his words: "There are still a few minor things that need not be said too much, in short, just these few hidden dangers are enough to cause the efficient leveling method to be unable to make the best use of it! I believe that the two of you can't bear to see your great talent being unable to display it because of a moment of carelessness, right? All of this can actually be avoided, as long as there is enough manpower!!! " Proud Emperor's spittle flew everywhere, and his face was full of bitter resentment, as if the efficient leveling method was handed over to Gu Fei and the others to casually operate, it would destroy the earth.
"Thank you for your concern." Gu Fei said with a smile.
"Not at all, I just can't bear to see the two of you inadvertently ruin such a great opportunity to make money!" Proud Emperor said.
"Money, we're talking about making money?" Hundred Lives Strategist was flabbergasted, Proud Emperor's long speech was too unconventional for someone who didn't understand the game, even Gu Fei was a little confused, let alone Hundred Lives Strategist who was a little rigid.
After hearing Hundred Lives Strategist's words, Proud Emperor was also very frightened. He was really afraid that after saying so much, the two of them didn't listen to him at all, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Hundred Lives Strategist didn't hear it clearly? Do you want me to repeat it again? "
"No need!!" Gu Fei hurriedly said. He saw that Hundred Lives Strategist was almost about to nod, but fortunately, his mouth was fast enough.
"Then, what do the two of you think?" Proud Emperor felt that Gu Fei was quite understanding, perhaps he already understood his intentions, there was no need to say too much.
"En, we're leaving, goodbye." Gu Fei said.
"Ah … …" Proud Emperor was stunned, what was the meaning of this, did he not express himself clearly enough? Proud Emperor blankly glanced at the weeds beside him. The weeds and he were both members of Ingenious Studio, and they were official employees, according to the company's position, they were Proud Emperor's assistants. This time, the higher ups attached great importance to the leveling method, and the branches in the main cities were also actively thinking of ways to obtain it. This time, Proud Emperor personally brought along his assistant, he was determined to get it. Otherwise, if it wasn't such a big deal, his identity as a studio member wouldn't be easily exposed.
Who would have thought that after spending so much time talking, these two fellows didn't seem to understand, they didn't even understand what he was saying. Proud Emperor was currently in a bad mood, looking at the weeds beside him, he suddenly felt that this guy didn't even come up to help him when he was working hard to obtain the business, he was really angry, completely forgetting that he was the one who told the weeds not to talk too much.
The relationship between these two wasn't like the relationship between a guild leader and a guild member, it was a true relationship between a superior and a subordinate. The weeds saw that the leader's expression wasn't good, as if he was going to take it out on him, even though he was cursing in his heart, he had no choice but to take the initiative to find something to do. He hurriedly chased after Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jinglun, "Please wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?" Gu Fei asked.
"The two of you don't seem to understand what we mean." The weeds looked down on Proud Emperor, he clearly wanted to poach people over, but he pretended to be high and mighty, letting others understand his intention to cooperate, but in the end, they didn't understand, and he had to fix it himself. The weeds felt depressed, so he went straight to the point, "Actually, what we mean is, you have the technology, we have the manpower, it's simply a match made in heaven, we can develop the leveling method to the maximum, how great would that be!"
Gu Fei scratched his head, "I understand what you guys mean, but you guys don't seem to understand what I mean!"
"What do you mean?" The weeds was confused.
"I said we're leaving, goodbye, what I mean is, I'm not interested in this cooperation." Gu Fei said.
"Wh … Why?" The weeds said.
Gu Fei smiled, "I'm a Grandmaster of Combat, not a professional gamer."
