Thirty members of Gunfire Rose were trapped. Their besiegers, Sword Sweeping the World, numbered eight hundred and sixty.
A male player from Gunfire Rose gaped, his whole body trembling, eyes red. He pointed at the golden world announcement scrolling across the sky. “Youtiao! Did you see that? Did you see?! That world announcement just now… I think I’m going crazy from anger… Tell me! Tell me what it said!”
“Spider Nest… Hell difficulty… First kill… first kill members… Bei Yatou… Violent Woman… Big Killer… Huo Ersha… They’re all from our guild! Baozi… you weren’t mistaken! You really weren’t! Our guild got the first kill! Our guild just slapped those scumbags in the face! And the guild leader… she did it with her own hands!” Another male player named Youtiao was also shaking, his eyes fixed on the looping world announcement, barely able to stand.
Finally, Youtiao and Baozi turned to a third Divine Descendant warrior in unison. “Jianbing! Tell us! Tell us we’re not seeing things!”
“You’re really not…” Jianbing was slightly calmer than the other two, but not by much. He stood up abruptly, tears in his eyes, and turned to shout at the surrounded players in the Revival Temple. “Brothers! The time for revenge has come!”
“It’s time to show those bastards from Sword Sweeping the World that even the weak have backbone! Even the weak need to show our spirit! To tear a piece of flesh from these strong men! Just like our leader did… Gunfire Rose has no cowards!”
With fewer than thirty people, a thunderous chorus answered, “Right! No cowards!”
“Then this is our battle of revenge!”
“Not just one battle! As long as we’re not afraid to die, every fight is our revenge! Even if we die, we’ll make those bastards from Sword Sweeping the World understand—even ants can bite! Brothers, are you afraid?”
“Afraid of your sister!”
“Then charge! On behalf of the guild leader, I declare… the counterattack begins!”

“Sword Sweeping the World has withdrawn.” Cannon Fairy exclaimed in pleasant surprise.
I covertly lowered the hand that had been linked to a voice call.
“Why?” Yingning knitted her beautiful brows and asked.
“Word has it that Ten Thousand Souls Hall arrived—those snobs who bully the weak and fear the strong! Pah!” Cannon Fairy spat in disdain, then turned her gaze to the golden treasure chest we still hadn’t opened!
We had left it untouched for the moment. Earlier, I had asked Yingning to immediately launch a guild plunder war, which she just did.
Predictably, this would be the most mismatched guild plunder war in history.
But turning the other cheek when attacked is not my principle, nor do I want it to become Yingning’s.
Although this was very face-slapping and satisfying… but… we…
Cannon Fairy’s expression was conflicted. At this moment, she was both excited and a little nervous. “There’s no way we can beat Sword Sweeping the World… After all, they have resources supporting them—a few people backed by a hundred million players… We got lucky this time and managed to fight back, but that doesn’t mean we can really beat their elite team…”
“Fairy Sister, let’s listen to Yaya this time.” Yingning smiled and hugged me from behind, using considerable force—clearly struggling to suppress her own ecstasy. “We don’t actually have to defeat Sword Sweeping the World. We just need to show our spirit… Taking advantage of this moment, we’ll further build Gunfire Rose’s reputation, so that players who fear or hate Sword Sweeping the World will voluntarily gather around us.”
“In the blink of an eye, we actually dare to do such crazy things against Sword Sweeping the World… It feels like living in a dream… Hey, Ersha Jin, what are you doing?”
Huo Jinjin was prostrate on the ground, hugging my foot and sticking out his tongue. Just as he was about to lick it, Cannon Fairy kicked him away.
“Fulfilling the bet! I, the great lord, keep my word! I say what I mean! I am a man of honor! Anyway… I’m definitely licking Ya Shen’s foot! Whoever dares to snatch, I’ll fight them!”
With that, Huo Jinjin stuck out his tongue again, stretching it long… until that tongue was pressed to the ground by a high heel and ground vigorously.
“Get lost! Do you think you’re worthy to lick Ya Shen’s foot?” Cannon Fairy glared angrily, increasing pressure under her foot, grinding until Huo Jinjin rolled his eyes.
“Alright, back to business.” I didn’t tell Yingning that I had just contacted Ten Thousand Souls Hall and happily arranged to join them. “Now, about the guild plunder war.”
Before I finished, Huo Jinjin pulled out his tongue and yelled, “Damn it! No way! Ya Shen, are you serious? We got lucky in the dungeon, but that doesn’t mean we can beat Sword Sweeping the World’s elite team! Plunder war is 5v5, not 1v1!”
There were two modes of plunder war: one was 5v5 guild elite PK, the other was a full-scale general attack, chosen by the instigator… Of course, the power gap was too great for us to consider the second option. Generally, no one chose the second—it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and resource-draining. So when people mentioned plunder war, they defaulted to the first mode, the 5v5 elite match.
“Be quiet and listen to Ya Shen!” Cannon Fairy mercilessly stepped on Huo Jinjin’s head and ground it hard.
“If I’m not mistaken, you few should be Gunfire Rose’s strongest combatants, right?” I asked Yingning.
Yingning nodded. “That’s right. Usually, we four fight the plunder wars, plus we grab whoever is online to make a five-man team… Since no big guild is willing to launch plunder wars against a small guild like ours—wasting precious plunder opportunities—we’ve muddled through until now.”
I nodded. “The reason I had Bei’er launch a plunder war against Sword Sweeping the World is because plunder wars can be rejected… Under normal circumstances, Sword Sweeping the World would definitely reject our request. After all, they’re a big guild; they don’t need to bother with small fries like us. And the plunder war opportunity is only once a week; they wouldn’t waste it on us.
But just now, in front of the whole world, we gave them a hard slap… If Sword Sweeping the World now refuses our plunder war request, they will inevitably become a laughingstock and suffer a huge blow to their reputation. So now, whether they want to fight or not, they must fight this plunder war! They have to steel themselves and accept. And if they win, they gain nothing from our resources; if they lose, they’ll be utterly humiliated and criticized to pieces!”
“So this Saturday’s guild plunder war, that is, the 5v5 guild elite match, they have to accept even if they don’t want to! A tree wants its bark, a person wants their pride. For a big guild, reputation is the most important thing!”
[Guild System Announcement: Sword Sweeping the World has accepted Gunfire Rose’s plunder war request. The confrontation mode is determined to be 5v5 Elite Match! Both sides will compete on the Sword Debate Platform in Floating Boat City on Saturday at 6 PM! The world’s heroes contend; who will top the list? Let’s wait and see!]
“They actually accepted! This is huge!” Huo Jinjin wailed and hugged his head.
I smiled. “The current strength of this team is indeed insufficient to face Sword Sweeping the World’s elite team… So we must desperately improve our strength before Saturday!”
“Ya Shen, you actually want to win… No way… Although you and Little Bei are top players, the rest of us are trash…” Huo Jinjin continued wailing.
“Enough nonsense! Do you want to win or not?”
Huo Jinjin jumped up from the ground. “Yes!”
“Then who will open the chest?”
“The chest!”
Purple with gold! The highest quality boss chest currently in the server!
