All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 67 The Southern Heaven Guild, the Six Elders

"You should have succeeded, right?" Shen Tianci's face no longer showed any of the pride he had when he played the Three Kingdoms game. He was calm and spoke in a peaceful tone: "I was really wrong before. From childhood to adulthood, everyone told me that some people are born different from others, that they are born to be the chosen ones!"

This attitude startled Chu Xiu.

Shouldn't you be assertive and say you're going to stop me? What are you talking about now?
“But the reality is, no one is a chosen one. The universe holds infinite possibilities. Today you are at the second level and my father is at the seventh level, but when he reaches the eighth level in the future, you may be at the twelfth level or more!” Shen Tianci said, “He won’t stop you unless he doesn’t want this son anymore!”

Chu Xiu: "???"

That's even more outrageous.

"However, the Shen family isn't solely under my father's control. Losing to you has drastically reduced my standing within the family. I fear my peers will all try to step on you and replace me!" Shen Tianci said. "I can't enter the second-tier world, so I can't help you, and you don't need my help. I'm only here to warn you to be careful of those who share my surname, lest you suffer a setback!"

After saying that, he picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm off to raid! Either you'll never see me again, or I'll obtain the Mark of the Heavens. When that happens, your guild will reserve a spot for me. I'll make the world understand that losing to you wasn't because I, Shen Tianci, was incompetent, but because I, Shen Tianci, was lucky!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the private room, leaving Chu Xiu completely bewildered.

"That Shen Tianci is still as arrogant as ever!"

Jia Tong pursed his lips.

“But as a teammate, he’s actually quite reliable. At least someone as proud as him wouldn’t sabotage you behind your back!” Wang Yuanjing said, looking at Chu Xiu, and added, “Besides, to be honest, losing to you isn’t shameful at all. I just can’t think of anyone who could beat you!”

He was that incredibly powerful in a first-order world.

That's outrageous.

The only ones who could possibly challenge Chu Xiu are Wang Ajiao and Jia Tong, but that would require them to replicate Chu Xiu's talent. But can they do that?
no chance.

No one can eliminate Chu Xiu!
In addition, talents themselves are also tiered. Some talents are so powerful that the talent that replicates the skill cannot be copied at all.

For example, someone tried to copy Zhou Wudao's talent but failed.

In Wang Yuanjing's opinion, Chu Xiu's talent might not be weaker than Zhou Wudao's!
There really is no solution!
"Block him in a second-tier dungeon? Don't be ridiculous. From what I get, Master Chu can directly attack cities. Whoever plays against him is doomed!" Zhang Taiping said.

This leads to the topic of establishing a guild.

Chu Xiu glanced at everyone and said, "I'm planning to establish a 'Southern Sky Guild.' Is there anyone among you who would like to join?"

There weren't actually many people at this banquet.

Since it was initiated by Lü Shengnan, the only people included were Jia Tong, Wang Yuanjing, Chu Xiu, her younger brother Guo Liang, and Zhang Taiping, who was Chu Xiu's duo partner in the dungeon!
Six people in total.

They were all top players in that match.

Li Jing was missing because his disregard for the lives of the natives was completely opposite to Chu Xiu's style, and they didn't get along, so she didn't invite him.

She invited Wang Ajiao, who, despite being an eccentric empress dowager, possessed top-notch talent.

But the other party didn't come. Wang Ajiao, who could only become powerful by relying on men, looked down on Chu Xiu, a commoner, even though Chu Xiu was very talented and his performance in the first-order world was extraordinary.

“No need to ask me, I’ve already made an appointment!” Zhang Taiping said.

“We must join. It’s our destiny to compete on the same stage. If you, Chu Xiu, can ultimately win, we will be convinced!” Jia Tong said.

Then, Guo Liang added, "One day, our Nantian will dominate the Blue Star!"

The word "we" already makes our stance clear.

Finally, everyone turned their attention to Wang Yuanjing and Lü Shengnan—unlike the others, they were both from second-generation families, and Wang Yuanjing even had a suspected seventh-level expert behind him.

Behind them is a "Lord of the Prefecture," or at the very least, a "Lord of the City."

One should not easily join other factions.

“Join! My old man is just a mere lord of a prefecture, not even a hegemon. How can he be as attractive to me as the Southern Heaven Guild!” Wang Yuanjing said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

Do you want to listen to what you're actually saying?
You're so awesome, do your family members know?
“I am just the heir of a small family. Joining you is the most advantageous choice for both me and my family. I have no reason to refuse!” said Lü Shengnan.

Would someone from a high-level gaming family look down on a group of ordinary people?

Most people actually don't!
The biggest difference between a large family and a nouveau riche is that the former is good at finding the most advantageous option for themselves among various choices!
Bet on it, and you win!
And now, Chu Xiu is the gamble Lü Shengnan has placed on!
She bet that the Nantian Guild would definitely rise to prominence!

Soon after, the "Southern Heaven Guild," with Chu Xiu as president, Zhang Taiping as deputy, and the other four as elders, was officially established.

"Speaking of which, after the guild is established, we have to pay money to the city lord every month. Isn't it a bit too early for us to establish it now?"

Jia Tong said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "There's still a month left! We can go into the dungeon one more time. Once we're out, we can discuss whether we should just not pay up!"

"Don't pay?"

"Attack the city directly?" Everyone was stunned. Even Lü Shengnan couldn't help but wipe away cold sweat and said, "Even if I mobilize the family's resources, it will be difficult unless the Wang family supports us!"

Only by directly attacking the city can you avoid paying.

However, most guild leaders are fifth-tier players, and even those at the fourth tier are among the best. What about us?
"Why can't we attack?" Zhang Taiping said, "I'll go with you to the next dungeon and reach Tier 3. Guo Liang, Jia Tong, and Wang Yuanjing, all three of you will reach Tier 2. Then, when attacking a city, you can use Guo Liang's passive ability to break through the tier limit. Combined with your own talents, you can challenge higher-tier opponents. You can't do it, can you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone thought about it and realized it was indeed possible.

"What about the top-tier combat forces?"

"I'll do it! I should be able to fight at the fifth tier now. Anyway, I'm not afraid of anyone who has graduated from the fourth tier world!" Chu Xiu said. "I can also use the Heavenly Mark to summon people. I can attack or defend, so I'm not afraid!"

"So that's what you mean?"

"That `s a deal!"

"Pay taxes my ass! We'll conquer the city in one month, the government in three months, and in six months we'll become the overlords of the East District and make others pay our taxes!"

"Dominate the East District!"

"Conquer the Blue Star!"

A group of people were shouting and yelling, causing the middle-aged man who was about to go into the private room to turn around and leave with a smile.

"It reminds me of my old days!"

"Those three eighth-tier bastards, just you wait. Once I've gathered enough men in the East District, I'll chop you down until you're kneeling and begging for mercy. Otherwise, I'm not a Zhou!"

……

After getting drunk, everyone went to their respective dungeons.

There were no teams; everyone was a lone wolf.

Determined to ensure everyone achieves first place and maximizes their potential, Chu Xiu specially crafted some point-earning items for them.

For example, the "Seven Star Lamp" used for resurrection.

It's extremely rare on the market, and it sells for 10,000 points, which isn't even enough to buy with Blue Star Coins! But for Chu Xiu, he can have as many as he wants, and there's absolutely no problem with each guild member having one.

This will also be a benefit for the Nantian Guild in the future.

However, before leaving, Lü Shengnan specifically handed Chu Xiu a document containing information about a player named "Ye Lingxian".

"this is?"

"The person Li Tiangang hired to stop you was once the top player on both leaderboards, just like you. However, he failed in the second-tier dungeon and was eliminated upon landing, which led to his removal from the leaderboard." Lu Shengnan said, "I'm not giving you the information to warn you to be careful of him. I just want to tell you that being invincible at the first tier doesn't mean you're invincible at the second tier. You have to make appropriate trade-offs between gains and safety."

After saying that, she turned and left to go into the dungeon.

Only Chu Xiu remained, lost in thought.

The dungeon can be accessed at any time. Theoretically, one can complete seven dungeons in seven months and directly become a "dominant" level 8 player.

However, usually no one runs a dungeon consecutively.

Because it's too easy to crash.

Chu Xiu is invincible in Tier 1 dungeons, unleashing his full power, and can even rampage through Tier 4 dungeons, but if that's the case, he'll need to bring his skills in.

The more skills you bring, the less reward you'll get from dungeons.

Chu Xiu's skills can be upgraded, which is a bit better. For others, maxed-out skills are only good for dungeons, and they don't have new skills or can't upgrade old ones.

The harvest will be greatly reduced.

The upper limit is also low.

Therefore, top players will choose not to bring skills or even the class template for new dungeons in order to maximize their combat power.

That could lead to a disaster.

Just like Chu Xiu, with skills, he is invincible in the second-tier dungeon, but without skills, relying solely on his four-dimensional attributes, there is still a possibility of failure.

Therefore, some Tier 2 players will cultivate Tier 2 world techniques on Blue Star.

Wait until you have a certain foundation before going in.

To prevent rollover.

"Oh right, the ranking rewards include two 'Tier 2 Random Treasure Chests'. Let's open them and see if we can get anything good!"
