Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Dominating the Rankings Again
Li Yao, despite struggling to stand up, spoke up loud, “I’m sure you all know the kind of enemy Starfire was facing yesterday. We were watched by four guilds, and they used despicable tactics to restrain us. Their goal was to prevent us from getting the primary resource allocation rights. They succeeded. But they didn’t stop there- they even mobilized eighty thousand people to attack us when we were establishing our base.”
“Ha, eighty thousand people. They really think highly of us. Their goal was clear- they aimed to destroy our guild base. If we couldn’t establish our base within three months, the four guilds would be able to hinder our guild’s development.”
“Originally, I prepared all these means with an intention to perish together with them. I’m such a person. It’s okay if someone hates me. I’m not a credit point that everyone likes. But if they play dirty with me, I’d rather destroy both of us. If they want to plot against me, they need to bear the consequences of failure.”
The people of Starfire quietly listened to Li Yao’s impassioned speech. Although it was over, they too were filled with a sense of resentment. Last night was too dangerous. If it was any other guild, they would have collapsed.
“However, we succeeded and even dealt with those sneaky villains. Also, I have some clues as to who was scheming behind our backs.”
“F*ck ’em, kill those b*stards.”
“Boss, tell us who the scum is, let’s kill the idiot.”
“Yes, tell us. Who dared to conspire against us? We can’t let this rest.”
“Motherf*cker, why are there always such despicable people everywhere?”
“They really think Starfire is scared of them? F*ck ’em, let’s go to war. All of my benefits will be used as war expenses. Let’s kill ’em.”
“Right, we temporarily won’t request any benefits. Let’s be soldiers and fight them to the end.”
…
Hearing Li Yao say this, the people of Starfire became riled up, all shouting their demands for revenge.
Li Yao gestured for them to settle down. As their voices gradually fell, he continued, “Of course we’ll have our revenge, but not now. What’s important to us now is the construction of our guild base. How to upset our enemies? They want our guild base destroyed, so we will make our guild prosper. Once we thrive, revenge won’t be a problem, right?”
Seeing the crowd slowly calm down, Li Yao smiled and said, “I’m telling you all this so you understand that our victory was hard-won. Now, we have two tasks: First is to enjoy the fruit of victory and second is to clean the battlefield. Brothers, monitor your levels. Let’s experience leveling up in a big way. Open the leaderboard and watch how we dominate.”
Hearing Li Yao’s words, everyone reacted, their excitement immeasurable. This long-awaited moment had finally arrived.
With Li Yao’s countdown ending, he released the massive amount of experience he had stored overnight.
Then, the whole world seemed to turn into a golden ocean, swathes of golden light enveloping the guild base.
The streamers were literally blinded by the intense light. The dazzling light was way too strong to keep their eyes open.
Wave after wave, it wasn’t until the third wave that the golden light completely disappeared.
The audience was filled with envy. Leveling up to 20 was notoriously difficult, and slaying elite monster packs or directly killing Warcraft was the quickest way to level up.
But who’s joking? Only a few players had such strength. Even for a guild to gather its entire force and attack these locations would be challenging.
But look at Starfire, despite facing such a danger, they managed to level up all their members by three levels under several times XP reward, straight from level 20 to 23.00. How awesome was that? In an instant, they pulled a considerable gap.
The time saved could be spent on leveling up the guild base. Of course, there were many bonus tasks in the guild base that also offered abundant experience rewards. Basically, leveling up wasn’t slow.
Those watching the live broadcast naturally knew that Starfire had dominated the leaderboard. However, most of the people didn’t know what had happened. As the leaderboard was overtaken, everyone was shocked. The global channel inquired about it unanimously.
Then, as people who knew what happened shared their information or posts on the forum, it became clear what had taken place. With the spread of this news, Starfire once again made a name for itself in the Ancient God game.
Facing such formidable opponents with just 3000 people, and manipulating them as they desired, guilds that had conflicts with Starfire felt a chill in their hearts. Facing such a terrifying opponent, they naturally felt a shadow in their hearts.
Starfire didn’t care about this. They were all immersed in joy. Li Yao, who had nearly reached Level 21, and being the guild leader, had gained the most experience, which led him to Level 24 with half the experience points for the next level. Li Yao cherished this moment.
With such progress, he didn’t have to worry about leveling up. He could focus on building the guild base and searching for his most essential treasure, the Touch of Darkness. The issue was urgent.
After all, the first kill had alarmed the God of Nightmares. Who knew if he would relocate the Touch of Darkness or not? Such matters were unpredictable.
“Alright, now for the second task. Everyone, don’t stand there dumbfounded. Immediately gather the monster corpses on the ground. They are materials and money. The guild will be constructed soon. Quickly tidy up an area.”
Li Yao continued, “Don’t act aimlessly. Stick to yesterday’s arrangements. Team leaders, clean up your respective areas.”
Although some of the monster drops had gone into the Temporary War Warehouse, there must have been many omissions amid last night’s chaos. Besides, the variety of monsters on the ground produced excellent materials.
Gathering the corpses of such a multitude of monsters, it was hardly surprising that the materials yielded would be massive.
The players with life professions in Starfire were very excited too, because they knew they would get a part of these many materials. Surely, their skill proficiency would go up a level with these resources.
“How’s the calculation?” asked Li Yao.
Li Jie thought then said, “There are too many and too diverse items. It’s hard to assess their exact value. We took a loss.”
Li Yao already knew he had spent too much. It wouldn’t be easy to earn it back. Therefore he was asking casually, “Estimated loss?”
Li Jie thought for a while and said, “approximately two thousand gold.”
“Only that much?” Li Yao raised his eyebrows. He had spent several thousand gold and hadn’t expected that the eventual loss would be this small.
Li Jie, annoyed, glared at Li Yao, “two thousand is too little for you? Ask around, see how many guilds can afford two thousand gold.”
