Chapter 101: The Demonic Energy Castle's Value Declines

The Assassin Alliance Ten Court Yanluo, they actually all came?

Although the Ten Court Yanluo, only eight remain.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qiqi exclaimed, and with a face full of admiration looked toward the Assassin Alliance members.

Ordinary assassin players all look up to the Assassin Alliance, after all the Assassin Alliance has always been the top‑tier assassin group in the gaming world.

"I didn't expect Su Sheng's reputation to be so great, Kong Lang leader, you all worked hard." Lin Huan thought Kong Lang might, out of camaraderie with a close classmate, bring people over to help, but instead directly pulled the core force over.

Chen Guan was momentarily stunned, then looked at Su Sheng and blinked.

He said nothing, but Su Sheng understood his meaning.

"You didn't tell your sister that the Assassin Alliance is yours?" That was Chen Guan's question.

Su Sheng grinned, "Come, come, let me introduce you all."

At the same time Su Sheng gave a speechless glance at Chen Guan, saying nothing.

Damn… how am I supposed to say this? The Assassin Alliance is mine?

You've been in the army for seven years, right? And the Assassin Alliance that has dominated the gaming world for so many years is yours?

"They are all my high school classmates, except for that death instructor, who is our high school PE teacher," Su Sheng said with a grin.

"Huh?"

At that moment, the women were all stunned.

Assassin Alliance leader. Your close buddy?

The Ten Court Yanluo are your classmates plus the PE teacher?

What?

No wonder…

Now they understand why Su Sheng could call them over, and the Huakai women finally realize why Su Sheng is so close to the Assassin Alliance.

"Hello, everyone."

The Assassin Alliance members greeted the women; given Su Sheng's reason, they naturally wouldn't put on a show of superiority in front of the Huakai women.

In fact, the Assassin Alliance's core force is Su Sheng's classmates and teacher.

…

"Kong Lang, later when Huakai's people and I clear mobs and fight the BOSS, intercept all players coming here—are you confident?" Su Sheng looked at Chen Guan.

"Hehe, don't worry, Sheng brother, the ones coming here now are all Solo Players; as long as they're not from a Thousand-Person Team, we'll intercept them for you," Chen Guan grinned.

"Just need to block them for two hours, that's enough," Su Sheng said, looking toward that spot in the castle.

"Alright."

Chen Guan nodded.

After the meeting, the two sides got along quite well.

Especially Dong Jiaojiao and Liu Xuezhen; the two women were almost bonding with the Huakai girls.

I have to say, sometimes women's friendships are just that weird.

When the countdown neared ten minutes, the Assassin Alliance members vanished again.

…

…

"We Solo Players have it so hard, the decent Training Spots are all seized by those guild organizations."

"What can we do? It's because Wutong Town has a Solidified Instance, which even attracted Qiancheng Muxue."

A group of Solo Players complained while walking this way.

Around Wutong Town, those premium Training Spots have basically all been taken over by Qiancheng Muxue.

Slightly lesser ones have also been snatched by smaller guilds like Otherworldly Flower.

Solo Players can only hunt those magic‑etched wild boar‑type, hard‑to‑beat monsters.

The number of players in Wutong Town is the highest among all towns currently, even though many have already moved away.

Not to mention Qiancheng Muxue, one of the top ten guilds, and a host of allies similar to Otherworldly Flower that are allied with Qiancheng Muxue.

The competition is naturally fierce.

"If it doesn't work, we might as well just change locations."

Someone suggested.

"There aren't many people here; let's see if there's a suitable Training Spot, and if not, then…"

Spawn~

A cold light flashed.

Assassinate!

Piercing Hidden Strike!

Sever Tendons!

…

A fluid, seamless combo.

This five‑person player squad couldn't even react, and were instantly killed by the Assassin Alliance senior members acting together.

"This must be the third squad already."

Chen Guan glanced at the tattered gear on the ground, curled his lip, and had no interest in picking them up.

Are they innocent? Maybe; after all, why would they come here at this time? In the game, fairness and absolute justice never exist.

If the situation of this castle were exposed to Qiancheng Muxue too early, it would definitely not be something the Assassin Alliance wants to see.

Although the players in this squad are all Level 20, almost all their gear is the Level 10 equipment produced in Hui Long Zhai.

Hui Long Zhai is basically a dungeon that every player in Wutong Town must run, which means that level‑10 equipment is basically worthless here.

Blue items still have some value, but green level‑10 gear in Wutong Town is literally dirt‑cheap.

At first, when the auction house just opened, they could still fetch some money, but as players leveled up, even on the auction house they quickly depreciated.

Now they are completely tasteless yet a pity to discard—like chicken ribs—and the Assassin Alliance members naturally look down on them.

"Mm, it's been an hour." Dong Jiaojiao nodded.

"Over at Sheng‑ge's side, we're already almost at the boss."

Chen Guan nodded, and after leaving combat state, everyone sneaked again.

As for those three unlucky player teams, although they also looked grim, they wondered how they got killed.

They checked the battle prompt.

As for the Assassin Alliance's Ten Court Yanluo, players in the circle naturally know of them.

What grudge, what hatred? The Assassin Alliance's Ten Court Yanluo, even the alliance leader personally striking to kill them?

Could it be that someone placed a hit on them through the Assassin Alliance?

The Assassin Alliance is known for taking contracts to kill.

But… who?

The price for the Ten Court Yanluo or the alliance leader to make a move is not low.

As for revenge…

Forget it.

Qiancheng Muxue and crew are not to be provoked, and the Assassin Alliance… likewise not to be provoked.

……

It doesn't even take two hours.

It's just one hour and fifty minutes.

This time, Su Sheng led the flower courtesans and his parents together to clear the castle.

But this time's drops were somewhat disappointing.

One blue, three green.

Even that blue item had relatively mediocre stats.

"Looks like we've run this a lot." Su Sheng looked at the dropped gear and analyzed.

"Mm."

The flower courtesans also nodded.

This is itself a game mechanic; continuing to grind, even a situation of one green and three whites could occur.

After all, it's still a boss, so at minimum there will be a guaranteed green item.

"If that's the case, we don't need to be too fixated on this ultimate magic puppet."

"Dad, take all the demon energy cores from inside the castle." Su Sheng said to Su Ba.

"Sure." Su Ba Su Wenhao naturally agreed, as it would conveniently raise his secondary profession's level, which he could do.

"Those low‑grade demon energy cores outside, just stuff them back into the gate." Su Sheng made the decision.

……

Looking at this run, the demon energy castle's countdown had reached over fifty hours, and Su Sheng fell into slight contemplation.

He thought about finally making the most of this castle's value.

"Ah Sheng, it's done."

Upon receiving the news, the Assassin Alliance members also rushed over.

They looked at the demon energy castle before them, expressed some admiration—no wonder even this kind of place was found by Sheng‑ge.

And looking at the Assassin Alliance members, an idea occurred to Su Sheng.
