The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

Chapter 68 Cooperation Benefits Both

"Just like driving a train—" Raising a glass to invite the moon as the locomotive, it weaves freely ahead, followed by a long line of Christmas thieves, constantly attracting the hatred of other Christmas thieves in the process.

[Make good use of positioning and object collision volume!] Su Muqiu yawned. For him, these were really child's play.

"Understood, Sister Xiaorou, over there—" Lu Chen glanced at Tang Rou's situation, who was still struggling with the clock tower.

Aside from the Sharpshooter class, it's very difficult for other classes to climb this clock tower. Even the Sharpshooter class needs to have professional-level skills, neither of which Han Yanrou nor Tang Rou possesses.

"It still doesn't work—are you done on your end?" Tang Rou replied, looking over with some curiosity: "A lot more! That's amazing!"

"Hehe." Lu Chen casually pulled over a Christmas thief hiding under the clock tower: "Brother Ye said that once the aggro is determined, there won't be any over-aggro, and Sister Xiaorou can just follow up with damage from below."

"This is a bit boring—" Tang Rou sighed.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it.

Just as Lu Chen was about to step onto the clock tower steps with his "Raise a Cup to Invite the Moon" skill, a series of gunshots rang out from the other side. Clearly, it was Ye Xiu's "Lord Grim" that had been fired.

Lu Chen glanced at the scene from his side and saw that it was the same as what he was seeing.

"Oh? Xiao Lu's done too!" Chen Guo shouted excitedly, "Quick, quick, quick!"

"Got it—Xiao Lu, how's it going on your end?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile, "How many?"

"176 of them. All of these Christmas thieves on this side should have been brought over." Su Muqiu yawned.

"176, over there with Brother Ye?"

"You're in a similar situation. Be careful when you go up the clock tower. Even if you don't die from the flying spear, you won't survive if you fall into a monster horde!" Ye Xiu warned.

"Hmm, the margin for error is relatively small, but it should be fine." As they spoke, Lord Grim and Moonlit Cup had already rushed to the halfway point of the clock tower, while the Christmas thieves also began to try to climb the clock tower.

Tang Rou watched the Christmas thieves' movements intently, seemingly pondering something. However, it was clear that the Christmas thieves' stats were significantly better than the player characters, making them less of a useful reference.

As they zigzagged around, Lu Chen had already reached the top of the clock tower first, while Ye Xiu seemed to have made a slight mistake.

Although it's said to be mastery of all basic skills, there's an increase in skill cap after job advancement, which seems to be a bit lacking for Lord Grim.

[Leave the team, then shoot him.]

No sooner had Su Muqiu finished speaking than Ju Bei Yao Yue swiftly drew her revolver and fired a shot at Jun Mo Xiao.

"You've been a great help!" Ye Xiu smiled. Lord Grim formed a hand seal and instantly transformed. A tattered doll fell from above, and Lord Grim appeared beside Inviting the Moon with a cup in hand. An invitation to join the team was sent over, and the team list was changed back to three people.

"Even if I don't help, it's not a problem, right?" Lu Chen smiled.

"Just activate the mechanical rotor." Ye Xiu remained noncommittal. As a Battle God, if he couldn't even jump up the clock tower, packing up and preparing for retirement would be a perfectly reasonable choice: "Over three hundred of them, it'll take a while to fight them—"

"Shouldn't we just wait for them to come up and then repel them?"

"Yes, but—" Ye Xiu paused for a moment, "It seems we weren't the only ones who thought of coming to Sin City to farm Christmas thieves."

That's true. On the way here, Lu Chen saw many players from other guilds. Although their levels differed and they couldn't pull monsters as efficiently as Lu Chen and Ye Xiu, it was still much better than competing with a large number of players outside for the Christmas Thief.

This means that they might not be able to react the first time, but the second time they try to pull the monster, it might not be so smooth.

Lu Chen figured out the crux of the matter: those guild players didn't even need to kill them; just slightly hindering their advance would be enough for the horde of Christmas thieves behind them to tear them to shreds. "Hmm, what do we do?"

"Hmm, there is a mutually beneficial solution. Xiao Lu, take a look around for me, and I'll discuss it with them." Ye Xiu said, and then the sound of him typing away on the keyboard could be heard.

"A win-win situation? Oh, I see. We'll form a large group of 100 people, with us responsible for luring the monsters and them handling the damage output, or something like that?" Lu Chen thought for a moment, then raised his gun and kicked the small monster that was trying to climb up back down.

"Yes, although some experience and drop rewards will be shared this way, it will be much more efficient. I've roughly calculated that it should be more profitable than it is now," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

If that's the case, those guilds shouldn't have any reason to disagree.

The three hundred Christmas thieves are all around level 40 and have elite-level stats. Even if they are pushed off and fall to the ground, they are unlikely to die instantly. Currently, only Han Yanrou is dealing damage, so the efficiency is naturally not very high. However, this is relative to their ideal plan. Compared to other players who might only get one thief every ten minutes, Jubei Yaoyue Jun Moxiao and Han Yanrou average more than thirty thieves per hour.

If a team of 100 people were formed, it would probably take about half an hour to clear out 300 monsters, and the experience and gifts would be plentiful.

With the last Christmas thief of the first batch fallen, Lu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Brother Ye, have you finished discussing things on your end?"

"OK, all assigned. They should all be waiting down there now." Ye Xiu smiled and controlled Lord Grim to jump down from the clock tower.

It's good to see the blade flash.

Lu Chen was slightly envious, but being a sharpshooter was quite convenient. After jumping down, he could fire at the ground, raise his gun slightly, and just make sure he wouldn't die.

"Brother Yaoyue is indeed as charming as ever!"

"Awesome, you're amazing!"

"Ahem, pull us along?"

"Um, we've already sent people to locate the Christmas thief. Who should we send the information to?"

Seeing the guild leaders who were fighting tooth and nail just a few days ago now all acting somewhat obsequiously, Lu Chen found it amusing: "Why don't you guys revert to your old ways? I still prefer your arrogant and unruly attitude from a few days ago."

"—Uh, cough cough, um, pull me."

"They changed pretty quickly?" Lu Chen smiled and picked up the gifts from the ground with Tang Rou and Ye Xiu. The guild leaders around them were a little envious and had already begun to imagine their bright future after this event.
