Chapter 205: Convergence

Under Su Sheng's "verbal evasion" and a well‑argued analysis, the players on the forum began to defect one after another.

In the end, that condemnatory post was silently deleted.

The negative impact on the Yanhuang Guild was naturally eliminated.

Not only that, it even indirectly boosted the reputation of the Yanhuang Guild and Su Sheng.

In a certain office building, Wei Cheng, upon seeing that post, stubbornly smashed his own office all over.

Even antiques worth millions were smashed to pieces multiple times.

"Yanhuang! The one surnamed Su!"

Wei Cheng clenched his teeth, and couldn't help recalling his cousin's suggestion.

Fortunately, his mind was still relatively clear; he took a few deep breaths, and thought that some red lines are best left untouched.

…

In fact, similarly, it also affects Yanhuang.

After all, Yanhuang now has about five thousand members and still needs to teleport to other towns to level up.

But it's fine; the core group currently consists of just over a thousand members of the Assassin Alliance, so the problem isn't big.

For the other scattered players, Yanhuang doesn't have to cover their travel costs.

…

Online.

Su Sheng appeared near the village.

Huan Jie and the others should need another two or three hours to reach Zhuque City, and they also have to complete a class‑change quest.

Su Sheng simply took his Suanni pet and kept leveling.

During the last few hours yesterday, after hunting a demonic giant wolf for a while, Suanni's level reached 13.

Suanni (Pet)

Level: 13

Attack: 560

Defense: 700

HP: 22000

Skills: Fireworks Blessing, Smoke Swirl

Stage: Growth Phase (Adult can engage in Mounted Combat)

Growth Potential:???

Description: Dragons have nine offspring, each different; Suanni is the fifth dragon child, lion‑shaped, also called the Fearless Lion.

(Juvenile, Growth Phase, Level 1, 40 Attack, 50 Defense, 1000 HP)

Its HP is already exaggerated, surpassing Su Sheng's; although its attack and defense look low, don't forget Suanni is only level 13.

Really, worthy of a divine beast, its growth is truly astounding.

After level 10 it entered the Growth Phase, yet its size didn't change at all, still calmly perched on Su Sheng's head.

It also gained a Smoke Swirl skill; Su Sheng tested it and found it to be a control skill that entangles the target for 5 seconds.

A 5‑second Stasis is downright excessive.

Moreover, with HP over twenty thousand, the Fireworks Blessing shield is absurdly thick.

But for now, this little fellow seems to be a support‑type pet.

And its desire to attack is not strong.

When Su Sheng tried to command it to attack, it did wave its claws, but Su Sheng could clearly sense the pet's resistance.

When left to its own devices, it immediately turned back, fluttered its small wings and returned to perch on Su Sheng's head, then applied a layer of Fireworks Blessing to Su Sheng.

Indeed, its "Garlic Paste" personality lives up to the name; although a divine beast, it doesn't like to brawl.

Su Sheng then brandished his longsword and began slaying the demonic giant wolves.

As for Mounted Combat, for now it is all flash and no substance.

So Su Sheng stopped trying tricks, fighting on foot to kill wolves; who knows how much easier it became.

…

"A Sheng, we've arrived, let's go do the class change first!"

Two hours later, Lin Huan's Private Chat was sent to Su Sheng.

"Okay."

Su Sheng glanced at the friends list.

Huan Jie, Li Wenwan, and Huang Mingxin are already level 40; the others are still at 38 or 39.

The Dungeon limits five players, but that doesn't mean four can't go.

One slot remains; if we waste it, so be it, otherwise we'd have to wait a day or two.

Oh right…

Su Sheng remembered something and opened the forum.

Sure enough, he saw the town where Huan Yu was, live‑streaming a demon general's siege.

They had just cleared the first wave of siege monsters and were regrouping.

It was evident that the town where Huan Yu was had far fewer players than Wutong Town.

After all, Hui Long Zhai in Wutong Town attracts too many players.

But Huan Yu, being the first guild—or rather the former first guild—still, on the surface, the leading guild in the competition is Yanhuang (the first guild ever founded).

Huan Yu's level is naturally no joke; under the first wave's coordinated effort, the casualties were only single‑digit.

But after checking the livestream information, Su Sheng raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, it was also a six‑hour defense with six waves of monsters.

However, back then the first wave in Phoenix Tree Town consisted mostly of wild monsters ranging from level 10 to 25.

The cap was level 25, but the first wave that Huan Yu now faces starts at level 25.

The highest reaches level 30.

The difficulty is indeed in a different tier, which matches Su Sheng's thinking.

The game's timeline is continuously advancing; players level up, and NPCs and some hostile forces also develop.

After looking, Su Sheng stopped paying attention; there's no need to waste time, better to kill a few more monsters.

About half an hour later, Huan Jie and the others had completed their class changes.

Lin Huan's archer, at level 40, has two branches: Hunter and Ranger.

The Hunter is more versatile, able to equip daggers, melee, ranged, traps, and pets.

The Ranger is much purer, just a bow and arrow for maximal damage; of course it also has pets, but the Hunter has an exclusive hunting‑dog pet, effectively an extra pet.

Li Wenwan need not be mentioned; as a Hidden Class, she did not change class.

Huang Mingxin is naturally a Holy Light Priest, and the other damage‑oriented Punishment Priest is not within Huang Mingxin's consideration.

"A-Sheng, you already have a pet?"

After meeting, the three women curiously looked at the "garlic paste" on Su Sheng's head.

"Is this a little lion?"

"Ah, it's profession‑bound; Sister Li Wenwan should have one too," Su Sheng said, looking at Li Wenwan.

"Hmm." Li Wenwan gave a strange look, nodded, then presented a large red egg, about the size of a table‑tennis paddle.

"It should be a bird, given after a profession promotion," Li Wenwan said.

"But hatching requires twelve hours of game time, so it won't break the shell until tomorrow," Li Wenwan stroked the red egg in her hand.

"A bird, then later I'll give you an item," Su Sheng mused, rubbing his chin.

That blood‑stained phoenix tree branch can only be used by birds; even my own mythical lion can't use it, so it could be given to Li Wenwan.

"What item?"

Li Wenwan looked a bit surprised.

Su Sheng gave a mysterious smile, "Later… you'll find out."

"So mysterious," Li Wenwan pursed her lips.

"Four people is enough, let's… go run a Dungeon."

Su Sheng formed a party with the three women.

Then, showing off a bit, he summoned a wild horse.

Hee-ru-ru~

With a neigh, a maroon‑colored wild horse appeared beside Su Sheng.

"Mount?"

The three women widened their eyes.

"Hehe, lucky," Su Sheng grinned, then flipped onto the horse.

"A-Sheng, with this Hidden Class, can you do Mounted Combat?"

Lin Huan asked at that moment.
