Chapter 479: An Opportunity to Exploit

~6 min read 1,163 words

Splash~

Having received the order, Flame Yellow's magic damage sprang into action immediately.

The carefully selected players weren't just of good character; their combat quality was also quite OK!

The dense Ice Rain Magic Array immediately covered those four or five 'Solo Player' assassins.

As they were attacked, the assassins' hidden nicknames were revealed one after another.

As expected…

Qiancheng…

Four or five players, three of them had names beginning with Qiancheng.

Ice Rain's skill has a large area, it slows… but the damage isn't particularly high.

So these assassin players weren't instantly killed right away.

Then their nicknames were thus blatantly revealed to everyone.

Su Sheng grinned, and indeed it was Qiancheng Muxue.

"Hahaha, I already guessed it!"

"That's right, Qiancheng Muxue is also in Baihu Main City; the only one who would directly provoke Flame Yellow would be Qiancheng Muxue."

"You're pretending to be a Solo Player, huh? Which Solo Player acts as arrogantly as you? You just went and slammed Flame Yellow in the face."

"They really are Qiancheng Muxue's people, haha…"

"..."

The surrounding 'melon-eating crowd' looked excited, watching the ordinary clown-like Qiancheng Muxue assassin players in the Ice Rain, and they chatted excitedly.

Swish~

Immediately after, Flame Yellow's side rained down more magic and ranged arrows.

Directly took out those Qiancheng Muxue assassins.

Flame Yellow itself had come this time purely for the Gentleman Rogue Combination; it was just a coincidence that they settled in Baihu Main City.

They didn't want to waste more time on Qiancheng Muxue, but if they recklessly jumped out, Su Sheng wouldn't mind taking care of them as well.

Just after hitting level 50 and changing gear, Su Sheng still felt an itch to fight.

At the same time, the other four city gates also sent back feedback.

Those assassins, as expected, were all Qiancheng Muxue's people.

…

…

Qiancheng Gongzi didn't know whether those assassins' nicknames would give them away.

He naturally knew.

But in a short time, he couldn't find anyone else.

As for hiring Solo Players, it's a bit awkward… Qiancheng Muxue's reputation in Baihu Main City… is actually rather poor, unless they invest heavily.

But this time, it was merely to disgust Flame Yellow a bit and help the Gentleman Rogue Combination, so Qiancheng Gongzi naturally wouldn't spend heavily.

He merely had those assassins hide their nicknames.

But he didn't expect the script to go wrong, and Flame Yellow actually dared to directly, risking public anger, strike at his own disguised assassin members.

In an instant, their identities were exposed.

Alright, being one move behind, the subsequent plans all died in the womb.

Qiancheng Gongzi, hiding behind the city gate and observing the situation, couldn't help but clench his fists.

His Qiancheng Muxue would probably become a laughingstock again.

Swish~

And just at that moment.

At the farthest side, two figures suddenly leapt out.

Leap Attack!

Two Leap Attacks!

Turns out it was the Gentleman Rogue Combination.

The two guys, taking advantage of everyone's attention being on those Qiancheng Muxue assassins, sneaked to the outermost corner and then launched a Leap Attack.

Thud~

Both landed.

The two unlucky guys were directly reduced to half health.

Even just one Leap Attack from the Gentleman Rogue Combination wasn't something these Solo Players could easily withstand.

Indeed…

At the outermost position, some individual onlooker players had gathered close, directly giving the Gentleman Rogue Combination an opportunity to exploit.

The Leap Attack directly leapt onto those onlooker players.

Then the two simultaneously employed footwork to escape within the crowd of onlooker players.

Oh ho~

"They won't just get away like that from the Gentleman Rogue Combination, will they?"

"If they get away, those two onlookers will be fully to blame."

"Really, just being a bystander, why stand so close? Ended up being used as a stepping stone."

"It's just Flame Yellow; if you looked at another major guild, they'd never let us onlookers get this close."

"So, you see, sometimes it's really not the big guild's fault for being aggressive; sometimes outsiders get too close, even unintentionally, and cause trouble."

"Yeah, just like now, these two guys have broken out, and it's not that Yanhuang is powerless."

"How can you say it's not Yanhuang's lack of strength? Yanhuang is just not that capable; if they were a bit more forceful, this wouldn't have happened."

"The melon‑watching players in the other direction were all discussing."

"Then, they instinctively stepped back a bit, widening the distance."

"Although Yanhuang's reputation has always been good, after all it's a big guild; now it's clearly these melon‑watching crowds that caused Yanhuang's operation to go awry."

"If they stay too close, there's no guarantee they won't take it out on others."

"Alright!"

"In the city, the spectator Qiancheng Gongzi, upon seeing the scene, couldn't help but whisper a cheer."

"What a rogue duo; as far as technique goes, these two guys are indeed quite impressive."

"If their brain loops could be tamed a bit more normally, that would be good."

"But so far, everyone who has tried to subdue these two brothers has, without exception, failed."

"Even with hefty monetary promises, these two with peculiar brain loops didn't agree."

"Watching the gentleman rogue brothers darting through the crowd with agile footwork, Qiancheng Gongzi let a faint smile appear."

"Either way, as soon as the two of them run out, that alone counts as a successful move that disgusted Yanhuang and Mo Wen, Qian Chen."

…

"On Yanhuang's side, they really didn't react in time."

"Even Chen Guan was taken aback, though he had initially been on guard against the gentleman rogue brothers and seized the chance to run out."

"But he didn't expect the gentleman rogue brothers would find the 'melon‑watching crowd' as a breakthrough."

"No one anticipated that these melon‑watching crowds would become the catalyst for the gentleman rogue brothers' breakthrough."

"Brother, you're really clever!"

"Little brother knows how great I am, right?"

"You came up with this plan; as long as we run out, today you're the brother."

"The gentleman rogue brothers weaved through the crowd, even though the melon‑watching spectators were trying to disperse."

"But without unified command, it was a chaotic mess, and with the brothers' great speed, the people couldn't shake them off at all."

"They blended into the melon‑watching crowd, didn't kill anyone, and just ran with the masses."

"Because of collision volume, Yanhuang's people now can only hit them if they attack the melon‑watching players as well."

"Otherwise, don't even think of catching them."

"Earlier, Qiancheng Muxue tried to stir Empathy among the many Solo Players, hoping to provoke Yanhuang into inciting public fury."

"But Yanhuang easily thwarted it, and the plan failed."

"But now…"

"As long as Yanhuang dares to act against these Solo Players, that will truly spark public outrage."

"Unintentionally, Shenshiaorengfeng, who came up with the idea, gave himself a thumbs‑up."

"Today, this brother is definitely the one!"

"And at that moment, a figure appeared outside those Solo Players…"
