Chapter 130: The Influence of Merciless Ice!
The arena match was over, but the video of the two fighting was uploaded to the forums of major cities.
In this battle, Li Xiang seemed to have barely moved, and the match ended with a single skill, but it still allowed some people to analyze the intricacies.
After all, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the technique.
Li Xiang had many skills, and they were all overpowered.
But this wasn't the most important thing.
If these skills were on an ordinary player, there would be no chance to even cast them.
Especially when Merciless Ice's Throat Slash skill hit, the casting of that Charge skill was practically instantaneous, with no reaction time.
One must know that hitting with the Throat Slash skill causes a stun.
If it was after the Throat Slash skill hit, one would not be able to cast a skill at all.
This means that Li Xiang had already predicted Merciless Ice's move, held the skill in advance, and activated it the moment Merciless Ice cast his skill.
Could he really cast that skill like that?
Not entirely...
From the cold light of Merciless Ice's Throat Slash skill casting to hitting Li Xiang's throat, after some people repeatedly watched the video and analyzed it frame by frame, they discovered that it took less than 0.25 seconds.
In other words, the time left for Li Xiang to react was only 0.25 seconds. In 0.25 seconds, from seeing and noticing, to reacting, and then casting the skill, a total of three operations!!!
All completed in an instant.
Even a tiny bit slower and this operation would have been impossible!!!
Many factions were searching internally for members who could react so quickly, but they were astonished to find.
They couldn't find anyone at all!!!
Even knowing that an Assassin would attack them with the Throat Slash skill, they couldn't react in time.
The time was too short, so short that no one thought it could be done.
But...
Li Xiang did it.
Ordinary players were still marveling at Li Xiang's numerous and overpowered skills, while skilled players were already studying Li Xiang's reaction speed and mastery of the overall situation.
What seemed like a simple match, in the eyes of top players, revealed many fundamental aspects.
This is the difference between ordinary players and top players!!!
...
Li Xiang didn't know what was stirring in the outside world.
The moment he pulled Merciless Ice into the Guild, the Guild channel exploded.
"Holy crap!!! Merciless god?!!!"
"The President actually invited this great god over!!!"
"I watched the god's Assassin tutorial!!! It was only after watching the god's Assassin tutorial that I was able to join our Guild!!"
"Great god!!!"
"Merciless god!!!"
"......"
Merciless Ice looked at some familiar or well-known figures in the Gods Guild, and seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he was very happy.
"Hello everyone."
With his words, the Guild channel immediately became lively again.
Li Xiang sent a red envelope, and Liu Yunfeng also sent one, further raising the atmosphere in the Guild channel.
Merciless Ice also changed his aloof nature and chatted with other members in the channel.
Li Xiang watched Merciless Ice being so popular, surprised by how famous he was.
While thinking this, Qing Shui Ya's private message came in.
Li Xiang clicked it open and saw that it was information about Merciless Ice.
Li Xiang read on, becoming happier the more he read.
Merciless Ice had become famous since the Novice Village. Because of his superb skills, he single-handedly took on the Novice Village's guardian BOSS!!!
Later, after entering the city, he didn't fade into obscurity. Instead, after choosing the Assassin profession, he continued to shine, and after being praised by passersby, he even recorded Assassin tutorials and posted them on the forums.
From that tutorial, he became popular.
It's often said that fame brings trouble. After becoming popular, he faced many challenges.
But he never lost!!!
His most impressive record was challenging seven people at once and killing them all!!!
After that battle, his name as a top Assassin was completely established, and he gained a large number of Assassin fans.
After that, he also didn't forget to give back to his fans, often recording Assassin tutorials.
Among these, there was another impressive moment.
At level 15, wearing a set of black iron equipment, he single-handedly challenged a level 15 Bronze BOSS.
Li Xiang watched the video on fast forward.
In the video, Merciless Ice's operations flowed smoothly like clouds and water, firmly controlling the BOSS, giving it no chance to escape his control. The final result was naturally self-evident: the BOSS's health bar was emptied, while his own health remained completely untouched!!!
Zero-damage BOSS kill!!!
This tutorial also incorporated his understanding of the Assassin class, and it could be called a god-tier video!!!
It was from this video that Merciless Ice became the recognized Assassin god!!!
Li Xiang replied to Qing Shui Ya with a thumbs-up emoji.
Qing Shui Ya replied, "Knowing you're busy and don't know about these things, I prepared it all in advance."
Before Li Xiang could reply, she sent another message, "I've followed all the top players with names in myth. I look forward to you bringing them all into the Guild."
After this message was a 'Go!' emoji.
Li Xiang gave a wry smile.
I'd like to, but I can't just go and grab people...
Li Xiang hadn't known that Merciless Ice was so awesome. If he had known, he might have taken it a little more seriously.
Bringing a great god into the Guild was another significant boost to the Gods Guild's reputation.
Especially after this arena video went out, the increase in reputation for the Guild and for Li Xiang personally was immense.
The material collection for the Guild upgrade quest was also about eighty percent complete.
It could definitely be completed by tomorrow at the latest.
...
"Qu Ming, I'll push the player who hired me to you. Go get revenge on him."
Hearing Merciless Ice's words, Li Xiang looked at him curiously, "You know him?"
Merciless Ice let out a light breath, "No need to know him."
After speaking, he added, "He's very low-key. Besides reporting your location to me, he doesn't say anything else. I haven't met him."
Li Xiang nodded and clicked on the push notification sent by Merciless Ice, "ID: I'm a Delivery Guy... Interesting."
He directly added him as a friend.
...
Meanwhile, in another game city.
The player with the ID 'I'm a Delivery Guy' was headache-ily flipping through his friend list, searching for Assassin players who were stronger than Merciless Ice but charged less.
"That idiot Merciless, he actually defected!!!"
"Good thing I only paid a five hundred yuan deposit, otherwise I would have lost a lot."
"The client gave 200,000, I can only spend up to 50,000 hiring someone. After looking around, that idiot Merciless was the easiest to fool... What a headache..."
Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the friend request list.
"Qu... Qu Ge Mingzi Hao Nan?!!!"
"Holy crap!!! That guy Merciless is dishonorable!!! He actually sold my information!!!"
"It's over... It's over..."
He really wanted to cross out this friend request, but he knew that his ID was already known by Qu Ming.
At this stage, there was no way to change his ID.
Unless he deleted his account and started over, otherwise with the abilities of the Gods Guild and Qu Ming, he wouldn't be able to hide even if he ran to the ends of the earth.
"What a loss..."
Helplessly, he clicked to accept the application.
Right after accepting the application, a voice call invitation was sent over.
His face stiffened, "How about... I just delete my account and start over..."
