    Storm


    Han Xing had been staying in Stone Vige with Han Yanran for the past few days. On one hand, her condition had improved considerably after taking the medicine, and on the other hand, Mr. Mo hadn’t finished developing the Mingxin Flower pill yet.


    Mr. Mo had poor eyesight, so Han Xing was being as his assistant by his side.


    Upon closer observation, Han Xing also realized that Blind Mo was no ordinary person. Besides the necessary equipment for alchemy, he had nothing else. ording tomon sense, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky for a blind person to urately control the heat.


    However, this Blind Mo not only sensed the intensity of the fire but also directed Han Xing with precision, enabling him to restore the fire to a perfect state.


    Although Han Xing also concocted pills in the game, he was astonished by Blind Mo’s incredible mastery of controlling the heat.


    The siblings stayed in Stone Vige for nearly half a month. Han Xing didn’t pay much attention to what was happening online and kept helping Blind Mo. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Han Xing’s alchemy skills improved significantly.


    During his absence, the Second World was thrown intoplete chaos.


    The core God Gamers of the Mad Dragon Guild had already met with North Star. They knew the guild master had real-life matters to attend to, so they weren’t in a hurry.


    The other members saw that everything was business as usual for these God Gamers, so they didn’t react much. As long as the guild master didn’t leave, they were fine. On the contrary, Luyao had a tough time these days.


    As the personal assistant to the Guild Master, she had to return to the Logistics Guild since Star Rebel was absent. Upon her return, those female yers who looked down on her continued to mock and ridicule her. How could she ept that?


    She was also afraid that the legendary God Gamer, Star Rebel, would quit the game. If he did, wouldn’t all her goals and dreams be shattered? She tried various means to inquire about Star Rebel’s situation from North Star and others, but they were not fooled and simply ignored her.


    Moreover, most of the official members of the Mad Dragon Guild had joined the personal leaderboard race and were too preupied to care about anything else. North Star and his group had already climbed up to the top 500 ranks.


    It should have been a moment worth celebrating, but the pace outside never stopped.


    The White Rainbow Guild naturally expected Han Xing would never go online again, otherwise the limelight would be stolen by members of the Mad Dragon Guild. On the other hand, members from the Watercloud Guild and the Benevolent Guild came to greet him several times.


    They expressed that if Star Rebel encountered any trouble offline, he could seek their help. After North Star had a conversation with them, both guilds left feeling reassured.


    The Watercloud Guild had performed well this time. Their Guild Master, Fleeting Life, even made it into the top 100 rankings.


    Most of the top 100 yers were dominated by foreign guilds, including the Hank Guild, Raye Guild, East Sea Guild, Luwha Guild, and Shadow de Guild. Many domestic God Gamers were also skilled, but it seemed that these foreign guilds had long held a negative view of domestic yers. No matter how fast they rose, they would quickly be sniped down.


    North Star could reach the top 100 rankings, but unfortunately, these people targeted him so fiercely that even some domestic guilds joined in the sniping. As a result, he had been stuck in the top 500 all along.


    Fleeting Life caught everyone off guard. By the time they wanted to target her, she had already stopped pushing for higher rankings.


    Sun Heng was still struggling in the top 200, already considered a God Gamer. However, he was still unsatisfied and yed more than ten matches a day. He was driving himself crazy, venting his frustrations on yers from the King’s Guild.


    Liu Feng was currently ranked within the top 500, and he was not in a rush to make a move. Instead, he was hiding his true strength.


    The foreign yers’ intentions were clear this time—they aimed to dominate the top 100 of the leaderboard. Their strategy was well understood by the domestic yers: unite first and lower the scores of the domestic yers.


    Once the top 100 positions were secure, they wouldpete against each other. It must be said that such tactics had disgusted a group of domestic yers. On the official forums, many domestic yers had tried to criticize foreign yers.


    Unfortunately, the effect of these efforts had been minimal. Being a noob in e-sports was the original sin. At this moment, many people were beginning to think of the God Gamer, Star Rebel.


    “F*ck! If Star Rebel were online right now, these foreign yers wouldn’t be so arrogant!”


    “That’s right! What are they bragging about? It’s just because Star Rebel isn’t here. Mad Dragon Guild has had a rough time these days; even the domestic yers are targeting them. It’s ridiculous!”


    “They shouldn’t be so arrogant in the first ce. We’ve long held a grudge against them since their dominance in the Second World.”


    “The domestic yers are just fighting among themselves. They’ll never be anything significant. Don’t expect anything from the top 100 of the leaderboard this time.”


    “Stop arguing! What’s the point? I just hope Star Rebeles back soon. As long as he returns, we still have a chance.”


    Petite Delicate had been pondering how to improve her cksmithing and weapon skills these days. During her breaks, she asionally did a live broadcast. Her fans were not sure what she was up to in Mad Dragon Guild.


    Every time they saw her start a live broadcast, her fans jokinglymented that Guild Master Star Rebel invited her to Mad Dragon Guild to be their mascot!


    In the past, Petite Delicate might have argued back if she saw suchments. But now, she was toozy to argue with them.


    “You’re right, it’s such a shame that I’m not just a pretty face, after all.”


    One of her rare moments of good mood caught the attention of a fan, who quickly sent a barrage ofments, asking, “Petite Delicate, ask your Guild Master when they’ll be back. If things continue like this, the foreign yers willpletely dominate the leaderboard.”


    Thement immediately sparked agreement among numerous fans. Those who had previously mocked Star Rebel now felt incredibly frustrated.


    Mockery aside, it was utterly embarrassing that they expected someone toe and save their face at a time like this!


    Of course, Petite Delicate noticed theirments, but she had no idea when the Guild Master woulde online. She pondered for a moment and replied, “I’m not entirely sure about that either. After all, our Guild Master has things to take care of in real life.”


    “Let’s be patient, shall we? Even though our Mad Dragon Guild members have suffered heavy sniper attacks, we’re still climbing the leaderboard, aren’t we?”


    Petite Delicate opened the leaderboard and indeed saw One Sword Horizon and Fourteen Continents, among others, still climbing up.


    She smiled, knowing well that these god-level gamers from the Mad Dragon Guild wouldn’t give up so easily.. Pointing confidently at the names on the leaderboard, she said, “See? No need to worry!”
