Chapter 1215: The Boasting Shenhua Guild
The auction ended.
Everyone exited in an orderly fashion.
As for the guests in the private room, there was another exit passage.
As for why the Treasure Hall hadn't arranged this passage when everyone first entered, it was obviously to boost the auction's atmosphere.
This was a high‑status guild debut on the Domestic Server, naturally able to stir the crowd.
Here in Huan Yu, we only left after most others had gone.
Su Sheng and Lin Huan both got into the car here in Huan Yu, but Su Sheng glanced at the few cars passing by beside them and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Inside, to his surprise, were Xuan Yu Wu and others.
…
That night, Su Sheng naturally didn't rush back; after all, there wasn't enough time, so he stayed at the original hotel.
When the game time was about to start, Su Sheng asked Xuan Yu Wu if there were any gains.
Xuan Yu Wu replied that there was nothing yet, which left Su Sheng a bit regretful but also relieved.
The regret was that they couldn't directly catch the rats in the shadows, and perhaps they hadn't noticed anything, so they didn't take the bait.
The reason for his relief was that Su Sheng also worried that Xuan Yu Wu and his team might get into trouble.
Soon the game time arrived.
Su Sheng and Huan Jie logged on together.
Once online, Su Sheng saw that both the Guild Channel and the world public channel were discussing this auction.
Su Sheng also saw a mail notification, clearly that the item he auctioned had arrived.
As Su Sheng headed to his mailbox, he looked at the hot discussion topics and couldn't help but smile.
Last night their operation successfully captured a Main City of Eagle Sauce, earning a hundred million National Fortune Value, and the related hype was almost eclipsed by the auction's topic.
Originally the main attack was led by Shen Wang, who took Revenge City and was looking to show off and advertise.
But the pinned posts were pushed down by the auction within a day.
Su Sheng guessed that Shen Wang, that kid, must be feeling down now.
Then…
A private chat from Shen Wang arrived.
Su Sheng read Shen Wang's message and couldn't help but stare blankly.
"That kid, but…~"
Su Sheng rubbed his chin, checked his experience, and saw he was about to reach level 83.
"Chairman Mo Wen, I'm about to catch up with you,"
That was the content of Shen Wang's private chat just now.
Su Sheng saw that Shen Wang's level was the same as his, 82.
At that moment, the Level Ranking List had as many as three or four players at level 82.
First place was naturally Su Sheng, second was still Shen Wang…
Obviously, Shen Wang, the Eternal Second, was quite aggrieved about his ranking on the list and the title of Huaxia's number one.
A while ago, to capture Little Days' Main City, Su Sheng used a divine skill from the Devil's Pact, sacrificing one level to boost the next attack's power tenfold.
Thus, although that capture gave a level reward, Su Sheng merely offset the skill loss.
But the others actually gained a level.
Then, yesterday's operation.
Su Sheng was in Titan City; although he earned a lot of National War Merit, he failed to capture Titan City.
Shen Wang's side, as the main attack, smoothly captured Revenge City on the Eagle Sauce Server and naturally gained a level.
The players at level 82 on the ranking were mostly those who took part in the Little Days operation, then later rode the wave of Shen Wang's main attack as lucky ones.
"Tsk tsk… looks like I can't slack off, better run a Dungeon and level up!"
But the reward for taking an enemy Main City is directly +1 level!
That's a pretty hefty reward.
Want to~
Su Sheng squinted, scheming in his mind.
Capturing a Main City for a level boost is far more efficient than grinding monsters now, though it's hard to say how much faster.
Of course, Su Sheng understood.
By now, after this period of activity, every server linked to the National Battle Map will be on strict defense.
After all, siege videos targeting Little Days and Yingjiang Players have long been circulating on the forums.
Some shortcut tactics are probably harder to pull off now; as more players reach level 80 Fourth Rebirth, the difficulty of such plans rises, and eventually they'll have to fight outright.
Now it's unlikely to easily capture other servers' Main Cities as before.
Su Sheng retrieved the auction item from his mail, stored it in the warehouse, and then formed a party for a Dungeon.
Then, as Su Sheng led his group to the Dungeon entrance, they happened to run into that guy Xuan Yuan Hua Di, leading a team of Shenhua Guild players, swaggering over with smug smiles.
Xuan Yuan Hua Di had a guard knight, a priest, and lastly a tall female archer.
The archer's longbow shimmered with rainbow light—it was precisely the Three-colored Divine Artifact Longbow just acquired from the Treasure Hall auction.
Along the way, many people cast envious glances at that longbow.
Xuan Yuan Hua Di's face was also full of a triumphant smile.
But when Xuan Yuan Hua Di saw Su Sheng and the others, his mouth twitched, and he silently led his group into the Dungeon.
He really likes to show off; it'll be funny when someone exposes him later.
Besides a few major guilds, who now has the nerve to provoke the Shenhua Guild?
Thanks to the cash flow, the Shenhua Guild's size is now not inferior in the slightest to some old-line wealthy major guilds.
But now that the National War System has just opened, it's best not to hope those few major guilds will start fighting; after all, we should present a united front externally.
The people around were chatting loudly.
Su Sheng naturally didn't care about that; they're filthy rich, what's there to say?
Then he likewise led the group into the dungeon.
…
The next day's game time passed without incident; after clearing the dungeon, Su Sheng silently went to the level‑85 training spot to grind monsters and level up.
What's worth celebrating is that, with just one hour left of game time, Su Sheng finally leveled up, reaching level 83.
He glanced at the leaderboard; Shen Wang was still in second place at level 82.
That old brat still thinks he can catch up to me? Not so easy.
Just stay put in your eternal second place.
Su Sheng smiled and kept grinding monsters.
When the game time ended, he logged off.
However, as Su Sheng logged off, he turned his head to look at Huan Jie; before he could do anything else, the phone rang.
Su Sheng startled, picked up his phone, and saw it was Xuan Yu Wu.
Su Sheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Seconds after logging off, the call came in.
Something definitely happened…
