Chapter 451: 30 Million

"Um… Chairman, are we still going after Yanhuang?" at this moment Xia Shang Xi Zhou timidly asked.

"Hit hit hit! …Hit what!!"

Ye Tianzi glared at Xia Shang Xi Zhou.

As the Peak Guild silently established a guild, Ye Tianzi, who had been a bit agitated, completely calmed down.

If we keep dead‑locking with Yanhuang, besides venting our anger, there's no benefit; on the contrary we'd have to incur even more losses.

Ye Tianzi silently opened the Equipment Ranking List; fortunately… no new Legendary or Divine Artifact appeared, but there was an additional Epic on the list.

Obviously, it must be what the Peak Guild just obtained.

Both the Equipment Ranking List and the Level Ranking List are normally monitored daily by major guilds.

When logging in today, I also specifically checked those charts.

As for the Guild Charter, it only drops from Commander-level Bosses; since the Peak Guild has established a guild, it's clear they must have taken down a Commander-level Boss.

Epic drops from Commander-level Bosses are almost guaranteed…

At the same time Ye Tianzi grew a bit angry; last time the Imperial Dynasty painstakingly obtained a special item, used a giant crab to artificially create a severely weakened Commander-level Boss.

Although no Guild Charter dropped, the best Epic loot was snatched by Mo Wen of Qian Chen.

Ye Tianzi took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

"Zhao Zi Long, gather the troops, pull the Assassin Guild back, push the level‑up hard, and make up all the losses from the past two days!"

"Also disperse the Assassin Guild, have them dig three feet into the ground around Zhuque City, and while searching for the Commander-level Boss, try to locate as much ley‑line power as possible and preserve the Hidden Class as much as possible."

That's the most proper arrangement right now!

The strength of the Hidden Class is self‑evident, even though Xia Shang Xi Zhou is currently half‑inactive.

But the Imperial Dynasty cannot abandon Xia Shang Xi Zhou; after all, Xia Shang Xi Zhou is the Deputy President and one of the pillars of the Imperial Dynasty.

If we can keep the Hidden Class, Xia Shang Xi Zhou's strong resurgence won't be a problem.

Secondly, establishing a guild… is urgent!

Yanhuang, Huan Yu, War to Stop War plus Peak… already have four guilds officially founded; the remaining ones are probably getting anxious.

Otherwise, when other guilds reveal their headquarters, you still haven't officially founded a guild… what can you use to compete with them?

Yanhuang's Tier‑2 guild has been stable for a while, and everyone knows that.

The recruitment cap is evident…

At a time like this, fighting Yanhuang pointlessly just to vent is… the Imperial Dynasty ends up taking the loss.

"Well… Yanhuang's side…" Zhao Zi Long hesitated.

"I'll handle it…"

Ye Tianzi took another deep breath and opened the Friends list…

…

…

Su Sheng speared the monster before him to death and opened the Private Chat window.

Heh?

Su Sheng thought it was Chen Guan reporting the situation, but it turned out to be Ye Tianzi.

Is the Imperial Dynasty backing down?

Su Sheng chuckled…

But after reading the Private Chat, Su Sheng couldn't help but turn grim.

"One million? Are you sending a beggar?" Su Sheng replied with a sour mouth.

"Regarding yesterday's incident, the Imperial Dynasty can give Yanhuang a cash compensation of one million… how about a temporary ceasefire between us?"

That's the Private Chat Ye Tianzi sent to Su Sheng.

One million… indeed a huge sum.

But among the top ten guilds of the Domestic Server's Pyramid… one million is barely a drop in the bucket.

"Then name your price." Ye Tianzi also knew that one million was indeed…

"50 million!"

Su Sheng replied outright.

"Impossible!" Ye Tianzi's brow twitched; that's an outrageous demand.

"10 million!" Ye Tianzi said with a dark face.

"40 million…"

Su Sheng also stepped back; 50 million is indeed impossible.

Fifty million, the Imperial Dynasty could simply, like Qiancheng Muxue, dodge the blaze by moving all members to another Main City, without needing such a huge expense.

But on Yanhuang's side, cross‑city hunts are impossible and would be a loss…

"I came with sincerity; if Chairman Mo Wen doesn't want to talk, that's that." Ye Tianzi gritted his teeth.

"30 million, that's the lowest; otherwise, let's continue."

"Or, your Imperial Dynasty could switch to another Main City."

Su Sheng chuckled.

30 million is already a steep price.

Ye Tianzi's expression turned gloomily uncertain…

Finally, he clenched his teeth.

30 million.

"Let the brothers come back, today we have a feast, give out bonuses," Su Sheng said with a smile, sending a message to Chen Guan.

With this, the conflict between Yanhuang and the Imperial Dynasty this time has temporarily come to a halt.

Su Sheng glanced at the game time and continued leisurely grinding monsters.

The level‑up was a bit slower than Su Sheng had expected.

He made the corresponding arrangements for Chen Guan, then quarreled with Ye Tianzi, spending some time.

When the system issued the logout prompt, Su Sheng still hadn't leveled up.

He took a look, the last sliver of experience.

Su Sheng gritted his teeth and kept grinding monsters…

Finally, with 40 seconds left on the game timer, a flash of golden light appeared, and Su Sheng finally leveled up.

A quest notification arrived, but Su Sheng didn't have time to pay attention.

In a flash, he pulled out the tent and logged out…

Su Sheng yawned and stretched lazily…

I~

"I feel my body has become a bit sluggish lately," Su Sheng said, twisting his torso. Since he started entering the Zhu Lu, he hasn't really trained properly.

Indeed, he's been a bit negligent.

Take a day off today, skip work; last night he earned thirty million from the Imperial Dynasty…

Today he'll take everyone for a team‑building and hand out some bonuses…

Meanwhile, he'll use the morning to work out a bit, to move his rusted body.

Thinking of that, Su Sheng immediately took out his phone to make some arrangements, then prepared to take a shower before heading out to train.

Each room has its own bathroom; this set of apartments is, admittedly, quite nice.

Click~

As Su Sheng took off his shirt and grabbed his clothes, ready to go shower, the door suddenly opened.

"?"

Su Sheng was full of question marks.

Did I not lock the door? Wait, I locked it when I came in last night…

Then Huan Jie strode in with long legs: "A Sheng, what's up with that thirty million… what are you selling… glug~"

Seeing Su Sheng's condition clearly, Lin Huan was suddenly speechless, and Su Sheng wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but heard a sound of someone swallowing.

Su Sheng served for so many years; after discharge and before entering the Zhu Lu, he kept up his training habit, so his physique remained unchanged.

Su Sheng's muscles aren't the bulky, clumsy kind you see in gyms… they're smooth and firm… in short, he looks slim in clothes but shows meat when naked.

Seeing Huan Jie's suddenly scorching gaze, Su Sheng instinctively felt a bit uneasy.

It's not only guys who stare at girls; likewise, girls also swoon over good‑looking guys.

Instinctively, Su Sheng tried to pull his clothes up to cover himself: "Um… Huan Jie…"
