Join the Server[Listen to me, everyone, please leave the guild first. Where there’s life, there’s hope. This temporary bow is just to sharpen our resolve, for future victory… No matter what, don’t let my affairs waste your precious online time.]
Yingning’s voice was feeble. She now deeply regretted causing a ruckus outside the Spider Nest instance entrance last night. Though it had showcased Gunfire Rose’s spirit and felt satisfying, it had thoroughly enraged the behemoth that was Sword Sweeping the World.
Once it unleashed its fury, the fragile Gunfire Rose would be utterly unable to withstand its wrath.
Yet, last night’s actions had been unavoidable. If they continued to bow to Sword Sweeping the World, the guild would grow even more divided, losing that aggressive drive. They would become a lifeless, stagnant minor guild, worse than dead, with no chance of recovery—an equally dire and irreversible outcome.
[I know that those who have stayed in Gunfire Rose until now are all iron-boned, unyielding heroes and heroines… But we have no other choice. Swallowing our pride for now buys us a chance for revenge. Everyone knows how crucial this early period after the server launch is, so we must preserve our strength to have any hope of turning the tables.]
Yingning clenched her teeth and balled her fists, striving to keep her voice steady.
[Leave, everyone. Step down from the guild first, shake off those Sword Sweeping the World bastards, and improve yourselves. Then later, we can seek revenge. I have everyone added as friends. Once this blows over, I can invite you all back…]
[Alright… sigh, I’m too weak. We’re all too weak…]
[Yeah… why aren’t we as strong as Jiangu… or Dong Jun… or An Mo… If each of us could be that strong… Sword Sweeping the World wouldn’t dare touch us even with a hundred times their nerve.]
[Too bad… there’s no if…]
[Guild Notice: Ren Lu has left the guild.]
[Guild Notice: I Am a Sheep has left the guild.]
Finally, consecutive departure notices appeared in the guild channel.
[Guild leader, we will definitely come back… We will make Sword Sweeping the World pay! Otherwise, we’ll never swallow this anger!]
[Guild Notice: Yipin Huangshan has left the guild.]
Watching the stream of departure notices, Yingning could no longer hold back.
Her voice trembled: [We will… we will definitely, definitely make them pay!]
The place was empty. At last, not a single online member remained in the guild channel.
It was as if all her strength had been drained. Yingning collapsed limply into the game pod.
“Brother… what should I do…”
After recovering a bit of strength, she stepped out of the game pod and halted outside her familiar bedroom door. She hesitated for a long time, but ultimately didn’t knock.
She knew what the Ten Thousand Souls Hall wanted—herself, or Xiaoya.
Sometimes, having a high status was a sin.
But she could never leave Gunfire Rose. As the guild leader, she was its pillar… And Xiaoya was even more impossible—he wasn’t even a player.
[Girl, look on the bright side. It’s okay. Swallow it and it’ll pass. This isn’t your fault.] Cannon Fairy comforted her softly.
[I’m fine… Sister Fairy, I’m fine…]
Whenever this happened, Cannon Fairy would stop being her usual hyper self and gently coax her.
[The pressure of being a guild leader is immense. I understand, truly… After all, you have to consider not just yourself, but the whole group.] Cannon Fairy said softly. [But some things really aren’t your fault! The force is too massive; it really is beyond our ability to oppose. Don’t blame yourself.]
Qingyu was succinct: [I’ll go online tonight and assassinate Jiangu.]
Yingning sighed and said nothing… Jiangu was not so easy to assassinate. If he were, he would have died tens of thousands of times already.
Too many people hated him as much as she did, yet he was still alive and well…
[Beibei, maybe we still have a chance…] Cannon Fairy suddenly spoke.
[A chance? What chance?]
[Even though Sword Sweeping the World’s people cover all of Adell and we can’t escape their purge, maybe we can make them suffer a great loss!] Cannon Fairy said.
[What great loss?]
[You don’t know, but the God Ya once said to me in private—’That appraiser and the guild behind him will definitely regret not buying these items, I guarantee it.’]
Yingning was stunned: [When did she say that?]
[She was whispering to me, of course you didn’t hear… Anyway, hearing that, combined with her strength and her instructions to us, I guessed that there must be a powerful force behind the God Ya!]
Yingning furrowed her beautiful brows: [Why do you think so?]
[The implication in the God Ya’s words was that someone was about to clear the Spider Nest on Hell difficulty soon. Only then would the buyers regret it. So who are those about to clear it? Who would be so confident as to target Hell mode when Hard mode hasn’t even been beaten yet?]
Who?
Yingning’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened as she connected the dots, and she jolted as if struck by a thunderbolt.
[It must be the expert team behind the God Ya!]
What expert team behind her! She was just a lone pet!
[Then the God Ya told us to pick suitable equipment and gather as soon as we log in, which means she plans to take us to challenge a high-difficulty boss! Probably a boss discovered by that expert team—whether instance or field boss, I don’t know…]
Take us to challenge a high-difficulty boss? Take us? That’s right… Xiaoya was a pet with intelligence and autonomy! She had been viewing him through traditional pet-tinted glasses! Assuming he was inactive when she logged off!
[I just never understood why the God Ya said, ‘If you don’t want Sword Sweeping the World to get the first Hell clear, we need to move now. There’s no time to waste.’] Cannon Fairy said doubtfully. [As if the God Ya wanted to take us to get the first Hell kill… Could the force behind her be willing to transfer the instance progress to her? I can’t figure it out…]
Everything finally clicked. Yingning slapped herself hard.
Too stupid! Yingning, you are so stupid! You only realize it now! Where is your brain? The brain that got you first place in political science?
Idiot! What a colossal idiot!
With Xiaoya’s fearless nature, it was very possible… very possible that he had gone to solo the Spider Nest on Hard difficulty!
It was all for me… What have I done to deserve you fighting so hard?
Fool! Big fool!
You must not get hurt!
