Chapter 664: A Bit of an Ass-Kisser


    Trantor: Editor:


    Deception hadn’t actually logged off. He was still in the game! After knowing he would certainly die, he was toozy to try anything else, so he got up and went to take a bathroom break. When he returned, as expected, his character had died. The surrounding yers hadn’t left yet though. That eye-sore Lord Grim was still walking about.


    Deception didn’t care. It wasn’t like he would revive on the spot. After choosing to revive, he clicked on the choice to revive at the closest city. He checked his inventory and found that all three of the boss drops were still there. He knew that he would still be profiting today no matter what he had lost. When he saw which equipment had been dropped, he felt his heart hurt a bit, but the profit he had earned was far greater than his losses. It was the first time in his scrap-picking career that he had managed to obtain Level 70 wild boss drops. His luck today had been very good.


    Deceptioning to this area had been aplete coincidence too. If he had nned on going scrap picking, he usually wouldn’t wear his best equipment. Today, he had just wanted to get a few items from Darkness Pce and just happened to run into the wild boss.


    While the guilds fought, Deception hid on the sidelines. He didn’t act blindly without thinking because the equipment he had on him was quite expensive. Scrap pickers always had to consider whether the equipment obtained would make up for the equipment they lost. Since he had worn a good set of equipment this time, he obviously couldn’t press forward rashly like he usually could.


    Deception had waited patiently for a long time. Today’s wild boss fight wasn’t as chaotic as usual. There were fewer participating guilds and Heavenly Justice had the clear advantage, not giving the otherpeting guilds any opportunities. This sort of situation wasn’t suitable for scrap picking, so the experienced Deception continued to wait patiently.


    In the end, the opposing guilds had been defeated and Heavenly Justice began focusing the wild boss. This conclusion made Deception quite disappointed. However, he still waited, hoping Heavenly Justice would make a huge mistake and get wiped by the boss. If that happened, he could happily pick away.


    Heavenly Justice didn’t get wiped as he had hoped. The one to fall was the wild boss, but at this moment, Heavenly Justice became careless. They made amon mistakemitted by victors. The moment the winners celebrated, he acted.


    Afterwards, Deception obviously needed to try and escape. Even though he failed, his gains had been quite considerable. How much would he able to sell these three wild boss drops for? Deception wasn’t really sure because these sort of items rarely showed up on the market! Deception felt like if he sold it correctly, he would be able to livevishly for years toe.


    “Hm? Did that guy revive??”


    The instant Deception revived, the surrounding yers reacted. After a character revived, the corpse would disappear and turn into a tombstone. If he had really logged off, this wouldn’t have happened.


    “That guy was still on!!” Lon sh shouted.


    “Have your yers in Darkness City be on the lookout.” Ye Xiu instructed and then called out to Tang Rou and Steamed Bun: “We’re leaving.”


    “Everyone, let’s go.” Lon sh ordered, “Grab the equipment on your way out.”


    Lon sh was pointing at the equipment dropped from the battle. Quite a few yers from Conquering Clouds and Seaside had died. yers who died would naturally drop equipment. No matter how hard they tried to get them back, there would still be many pieces of equipment that wouldnd in the hands of Heavenly Justice’s yers. The guilds all had their own ways of resolving this situation. In general, it was a difficult issue to deal with because in this type of chaotic battle, it was difficult to pinpoint who exactly took your equipment.


    Ye Xiu had talked about these equipment drops with Lon sh earlier. Lon sh now understood why Ye Xiu said he didn’t need equipment, if it were after the battle. It turns out he hadplete confidence in their dominating victory and knew that he could just pick which of the plundered equipment he liked after the battle.


    But choosing out of all of these was quite troublesome. Everything had to be organized first, so Lon sh made the decision: instead of going through all that trouble, he would directly buy them the equipment that they wanted when they got back to the city.


    Right when he said this, they realized Deception had revived. Ye Xiu said a few words and started rushing back to the city with Lord Grim.


    “How do you know he’s in Darkness City?” Lon sh chased after him and asked. Darkness City was the city closest to Darkness Pce.


    “From his equipment, it didn’t look like he had nned on scrap picking today. If he had something else to do, isn’t itmon sense that he would pick the closest city as his revival point?” Ye Xiu said.


    “Right!” Lon sh suddenly understood. He hadn’t thought about this point because he had no knowledge of how scrap picking worked.


    Lon sh gave an order in the guild chat. Ye Xiu and his team naturally saw it too. Right now, they were under Heavenly Justice, so they belonged to the guild.


    “I have yers in Darkness City who are heading over to search.” Lon sh said to Ye Xiu.


    “Mm, that’s good.” Ye Xiu replied. Lord Grim turned his head to nce back. Lon sh also looked back and was a bit speechless. As his and Ye Xiu’s groups rushed back, they had left the other Heavenly Justice yers behind. The yers with equipment that increased their movement speed were still able to keep up for awhile because they ran faster, but gradually, without properly utilizing their stamina, they would run out. If they could no longer sprint, their equipment’s added movement speed wouldn’t do anything.


    Inparison, Lon sh and his team kept up. Thinking of this point, Lon sh felt a bit happy. They deserved to be pros! Look, they could keep up with a God!


    Just as he was thinking in this way, he noticed that Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion were easily keeping up as well. When he looked, he immediately realized how disgusting their equipment looked. He was wearing good equipment and had some increase in movement speed, yet he was running at the same speed as them. How could he feel happy?


    Lon sh felt quite defeated.


    “Have the brothers who are investigating in the city hide their guild tags.” Ye Xiu suddenly said. He was still being careful.


    “Okay!” Lon sh received the message and immediately passed it down.


    “Have yers in other cities pay attention too. Darkness City is just an estimation. He isn’t guaranteed to be there.” Ye Xiu added.


    “Makes sense!” Lon sh nodded his head and ordered again.


    When Ocean Ahead, Homeward Bound, Thousand Falling Leaves, and Night Tide heard their conversation, they tried hard not to interrupt. They couldn’tpare to Steamed Bun in this area. Student Steamed Bun would say anything that he thought of. When he heard the two talk, Steamed Bun opened up the guild interface. After studying it carefully, he suddenly asked: “When you said ‘Makes sense!’, who said that?”


    “Me!” Lon sh said.


    ‘Who is this ‘me’?” Steamed Bun asked again.


    “What do you mean?” Lon sh was puzzled.


    “Lon sh?” Steamed Bun seemed to have determined something, but he still seemed unsure.


    “That’s me!” Lon sh said.


    “Senior, how mighty!” Steamed Bun excitedly said, “You can even order around a guild leader. What a god!”


    Sweat!


    Ye Xiu typed an emoji sweating. Lon sh typed a depressed face. The others had wanted to say something about this. Lon sh and them weren’t just any yers in the game. They had been good friends even before they started ying and understood each other well. With their friendship, the other four wouldn’t object to any one of them being the guild leader. In the end, Lon sh became the guild leader because they felt like he had the most potential as a leader.


    If this hadn’t happened in front of them, they would never have though Lon sh could ever be regarded as a little kid and he didn’t even look like he had any objections.


    How embarrassing!


    At this moment, all of them felt a bit embarrassed. Lon sh wanted to exin, but he also felt like he had been acting like a b*tch! How would he exin himself? Wouldn’t it just make matters worse?


    In the end, Ye Xiu was the calmest. He immediately said: “Steamed Bun, what do you know? We’re discussing strategy.”


    “Oh, so that’s the case!” Steamed Bun said.


    This sort of exnation was enough for Steamed Bun, but for everyone else, it didn’t exin anything. Lon sh knew his friends were probablyughing at him. They just didn’t express it.


    How depressing! However, a message suddenly arrived, averting everyone’s attention from the issue.


    “Someone’s found him! He really is in Darkness City!” Lon sh said.


    “Good!” Ye Xiu replied.


    “What do we do now?’ Lon sh asked.


    Ocean Ahead and the others were crying. Brother, do you have short term memory? How can you keep acting like this?


    But this time, Ye Xiu was generous. Instead of directly saying it, he sent Lon sh a private message: “Watch him and figure out where he’s headed.”


    The instant Lon sh received the message, Lon sh immediately realized..... He had acted like Ye Xiu’s b*tch again.


    Fortunately, he had been reminded by Ye Xiu. It was a you say it instead of me message! Lon sh immediately gave the order and told Ye Xiu: “We’re not sure right now. Let’s just head over ording to his coordinates!”


    “That’s fine too. Can you get us some better equipment? Especially any that add movement speed. If not, dealing with that guy might be a bit difficult.” Ye Xiu replied.


    “I’ll see if anyone can do it for us.” Lon sh busied about.


    Following afterwards, they quietly entered Darkness City. Ye Xiu and Lon sh talked to each other privately, so the others obviously wouldn’t know.


    “It seems like he’s nning on teleporting away!” Lon sh received some new information.


    “Have your yers in the other cities hurry and pay attention to the teleport formations! The more cities the better.” Ye Xiu hastily said.


    “Already done.” After being embarrassed, Lon sh checked himself. Did he really need Ye Xiu to teach him this type of stuff? Not at all. With his experience, he could have done itpletely on his own.
