Excessive ferocity due to caution

In the Tianwang Guild's headquarters.

Two white lights flashed by.

Bai Xiao, who had originally died, and another player were resurrected in the guild's headquarters.

The three of them were taken down by Zhao Yi, while the other player, who was almost at the level of a major ferocity... because he didn't have a resurrection item, was truly turned into a pile of minced meat!

The two men looked extremely pale!

Especially Bai Xiao!

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing with fury, almost bursting open!

Seven!

His seven resurrection items... are all gone!!

That damned Zhao Yi!

How dare he?

Bai Xiao was unwilling to accept reality.

All he can think about now is revenge!

He was a high-ranking member of the Tianwang Guild, a well-known figure in the Bone Zone, yet he was killed by a new player who joined this year.

How long has Zhao Yi been in the game? Where did he get so many forces?

What a disgrace!

Bai Xiao thought of himself...

When I first entered the game, I was still struggling to survive in dungeons by studying the posts of experienced players on the forums and trying to learn from their experiences...

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!

...

Half an hour later.

Tianwang Hotel.

Upon seeing Bai Xiao return so quickly, some players working in the hotel exclaimed in surprise:

"Look!"

"As expected of Boss Bai Xiao, he only took action once, and in such a short time, he has already recaptured the outer city of the ruined city?"

"This efficiency is... appalling!"

Everyone looked at Bai Xiao with admiration.

They didn't notice the burning red on Bai Xiao's face at all.

These players who work at the hotel generally play relatively important roles within the guild.

Therefore, they were aware of the reality show that the entertainment company had set up in the chaotic city!

When fierce battles break out between guilds, these players will be the first batch of cannon fodder.

Upon arriving at the upper floors of the hotel, Bai Xiao and his companion encountered the management team, who were still discussing how to deal with the other guilds in the inner city.

The two looked very uncomfortable.

They left full of promises, but only a short time has passed, and they've been chased back like stray dogs...

However, they cannot keep this a secret just to save face.

Otherwise, not only will you lose face in the end, but you might also lose the position you worked so hard to achieve!

The two entered the conference room.

Miao's eyes flashed.

"Is the matter settled?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Xiao clenched his fist and said:

"It failed."

All eyes turned to Bai Xiao.

"What's wrong?"

"Is Zhao Yining willing to die rather than hand over control of the assets?"

Miao Jiang's question made Bai Xiao's face even more ashamed and indignant!

"No……"

"We...we were killed by Zhao Yi!"

puff--

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the conference room burst out laughing.

"Bai Xiao... No way, really?"

"You three level 35 players got killed by a level 26 newbie?"

"If this gets out, it will truly bring shame upon our Skyward Guild!"

The woman who spoke was named Zheng Piaopiao.

She's a very frivolous woman.

He is also Bai Xiao's mortal enemy in the guild.

The two often start fighting as soon as they meet.

Either they talk big or they just talk back.

The other players also cast mocking glances at Bai Xiao.

In their eyes, even a level 26 player would find it difficult to solo kill a half-step Great Ferocious level bug.

The fact that Bai Xiao and his two companions, who were players with near-Great Ferocity level strength, were killed by the weak Zhao Yi sounds like a fantasy!

"Bai Xiao, you guys aren't just sitting around in the guild doing nothing all day, are you?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"That's so lame!"

"I think you should just resign from your position... Three level 35 players were wiped out by a level 26 newbie, how embarrassing!"

Inside the meeting room, everyone freely mocked Bai Xiao, whose face was turning from blue to purple, and the atmosphere was filled with merriment.

But soon, those smiles disappeared.

"Have you laughed enough?"

Miao said calmly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

No one in the room spoke up.

Miao Jiang stared at Bai Xiao and said:

"What exactly happened?"

Bai Xiao's gaze shifted uncertainly.

"Under Zhao Yi's command, there is a near-Great Fiend Ghost who has comprehended the power of rules, and more than two hundred half-step Great Fiend assassins..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Piaopiao immediately said in a sarcastic tone:

"Why don't you exaggerate even further, saying that a level 26 player has the strength of a near-death experience?"

Bai Xiao stared at Zheng Piaopiao, and after a few seconds said in a serious tone:

"That Zhao Yi... indeed possesses the strength of a near-death being!"

Zheng Piaopiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into a silvery laugh.

She has received professional training.

No matter how funny something is, I won't laugh.

Unless you can't help it.

"Bai Xiao, have you become so cowardly that you can only resort to empty lies to defend yourself?"

Remembering the seven missing resurrection items, a vein throbbed on Bai Xiao's forehead, but he suppressed the urge to kill the woman before him and coldly chuckled:

"You have the leisure to stand here and make sarcastic remarks, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

"If Zhao Yi can kill me... he can kill you too!"

Zheng Piaopiao frowned.

She was about to retort when she heard Miao Jiang say thoughtfully:

"Could those forces... have been left to him by the higher-ups of the 'Honors Guild'?"

His words seemed to provide an outlet for Bai Xiao's pent-up frustration.

Unwilling to admit he was trash, Bai Xiao immediately chimed in:

"It should be...no, it definitely is!"

"Even the most skilled new player could never reach Zhao Yi's level!"

"But if it was a method left behind by the higher-ups of the 'Honest Guild,' then all of this seems to make perfect sense..."

Miao raised his eyes and looked at Bai Xiao.

He did not deny the other party's opinion.

Although in Miao Jiang's mind, he believed that his previous idea was not valid.

He was an early starter in this game.

Therefore, I had brief contact and exchanges with some of the most powerful and influential members of the guild in the past.

Those big shots were terrified of the higher-ups in the slacker guild.

If they are like this, it is enough to show the dominance of those few people in the Bone Zone and even the entire game!

Regardless of whether beings of that caliber would care about the life or death of a small guild... if they truly wanted to leave Zhao Yi with some means, then Zhao Yi's forces would probably be far more than just a near-Great Fiend and a few hundred half-step Great Fiends...

However, as the guild leader, there are some things that he cannot completely rule out, even if he doesn't believe them.

Miao Jiang quickly said:

"Don't let anyone know what happened today."

"Don't tell anyone in the guild either."

"It affects morale."

"Let's put the matter in the outer city area on hold for now... Of course, if some of you want to try your luck again, I won't stop you."

"As long as it doesn't affect the guild's future actions, it's fine."

After a pause, Miao's tone became much more serious and earnest:

"Finally, I want to emphasize this again."

"Regarding the identity cards... I don't want anyone in the guild involved, understand?"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and said in unison:

"clear!"

...

After the meeting, someone approached Zheng Piaopiao.

"Sister Zheng..."

Zheng Piaopiao turned around:

"explain."

"Our informants who were sent to the outer city a few days ago... have disappeared."

The dismissive and playful look on Zheng Piaopiao's face disappeared, replaced by deep thought.

"This Zhao Yi..."

"He's got some skill to make Bai Xiao suffer a setback."

"And now it seems that he not only commands a vast force, but also possesses a very sophisticated network!"

She bit her fingernail and said calmly:

"The three of us guilds are eyeing each other covetously, and we all know what the other is thinking."

"Outer city access that we used to be too lazy to ask for has now become a hot commodity."

"But now that Zhao Yi is so powerful, even if our guilds want to take control of the outer city, we'll have to pay a price... In a way, Zhao Yi has actually helped stabilize the balance between the major guilds in the inner city, which was on the verge of collapse..."

"Now, the president only needs to quietly wait for the rise of a fourth force..."

Zheng Piaopiao's subordinate was somewhat puzzled:

"Where did this fourth force come from?"

Zheng Piaopiao's lips curled into a smile:

"Those identity cards...that's the fourth force!"

...
