Chapter 59

"The Level Ranking List, the player with that hidden nickname in first place, is it you?"

Li Xiao looked at Su Sheng, somewhat unable to believe it.

Everyone was guessing who the hidden player ranked first was.

Although Mo Wen Qianchen's nickname had once made the ranking, later, after news spread of a conflict between a small manager from Qiancheng Muxue and Mo Wen Qianchen in the Newbie Village, nobody paid attention to that fleeting nickname anymore.

Only after the recent cheat scandal did everyone think of this again.

But nobody doubted that the one in first place on the ranking was Mo Wen Qianchen.

After all, no matter how strong a solo player is, it's hard to surpass a major guild.

After all, in a hundred-person team leveling, where the team captain gets fifty percent of the experience.

That's equivalent to fifty people giving experience to one person—can you, alone, really be stronger than fifty people?

"Just good luck." Su Sheng said indifferently; in fact, he truly didn't care about being first on the Level Ranking List.

Li Xiao, meanwhile, looked at his cousin Li Wenwan with a gloomy expression.

It was said earlier that the person coming would be the younger brother of the Scarlet Rose.

I never expected it to be Mo Wen Qianchen, and moreover, this Mo Wen Qianchen is actually the player with the hidden nickname who is first on the Level Ranking List.

As for his cousin, Li Wenwan spends every day at Huakai, even living in the Huakai Studio offline.

She must know this news, but she actually didn't tell me?

Li Wenwan, facing her cousin's gaze, gave Li Xiao an innocent look and then blinked.

Li Xiao held his forehead in exasperation.

Although the two siblings didn't speak, having grown up together, they both understood each other's meaning.

Li Xiao: "The one ranked first on the Level Ranking List is here—why didn't you tell me?"

Li Wenwan: "You didn't ask either."

…

"Brother, you're joking—just good luck isn't enough to achieve that."

Li Xiao also spoke politely.

Meanwhile, Huan Yu Hao Tian remained completely silent.

He's only level sixteen, which is basically the mainstream level for players nowadays.

A lone player being able to hold first place on the Level Ranking List, plus the video of the previous cheat scandal, all prove Su Sheng's strength.

As the second T of Huaxia's top guild, he may be proud, but he's not stupid.

"Brother, are you interested in joining the guild?"

"I can make the call—if you join Universe, I can give you a Group Leader position." Li Xiao immediately extended an olive branch to Su Sheng.

As Universe's Deputy President, seeing a solo player expert, extending an olive branch is almost an instinctive move.

"Forget it, I'm used to being carefree and have no plans to join a guild—thanks for the offer." Su Sheng grinned; this guy didn't even recognize himself.

"That's a shame."

Li Xiao shook his head.

Li Xiao then continued: "Universe and Huakai are like family; my cousin stays at Huakai, so we're our own people."

"The doors of Universe are always open for you."

Before Li Xiao finished speaking, his cousin's eye-roll beside him was already about to flip to the sky.

Still claiming they're like family—if it weren't for saving face, Universe wouldn't even glance at a tiny studio like Huakai with fewer than ten people.

Aside from himself, the only one in the whole Huakai Studio that Universe would look up to is Lin Huan, an honorary player.

Although Huakai is all beautiful women, living up to its name, in such a vast gaming circle, beautiful women are hardly scarce.

"Alright, alright, I called you here to help me with the quest, not to recruit people."

Li Wenwan couldn't help but speak up.

"Sure, sure, I'll help you with the quest."

"Everyone's here, let's get ready to set off."

Su Sheng also didn't expect Li Wenwan to summon Universe's people.

Universe isn't in Wutong Town.

One is Universe's Deputy President, the other is Universe's second T; they're definitely following Universe's main force.

The seven-day cooldown hasn't ended yet, so going to other towns can't be done through normal means.

But now Li Xiao and Haotian have both come over; they must have used some special items.

After all, the Cosmos family has a big business; it's also normal for them to produce some special items.

…

On the way, Su Sheng found out a bit about the mission details.

This Divine Phoenix essence blood class-change quest is quite troublesome, with various complicated procedures and materials, making Huakai's sisters run around half the night.

The final step of the mission, according to the Demon Suppression Office's instructions, is to collect the last material, then we can purify the demonic energy entwined within the Divine Phoenix essence blood.

Demon Suppression Office?

Su Sheng stared for a while; the Demon-Driving Token in his hand is also related to the Demon Suppression Office.

…

The location of the final mission is still quite far from Wutong Town.

It is a huge ancient castle, inside the small monsters are all level 30 monsters.

Moreover, the final mission item is on the boss's body, and we don't even know what level that boss is.

Anyway, just relying on Huakai alone, completing this mission would probably be pretty impressive.

"Since that's the case, for those helping with the mission, then this time's experience points should be directly distributed according to contribution, right?" Lin Huan said on the way.

After saying that, Lin Huan also gave Su Sheng a subtle look.

Su Sheng naturally understood Lin Huan's meaning; the big portion lets him eat.

After all, at this stage, those who can exceed Su Sheng's output contribution are truly few... even none.

"No opinion..."

"I agree."

Huakai's sister naturally wouldn't say anything,

"I agree too." Li Xiao smiled and nodded; after all, he's just here to help his cousin with the mission, so he doesn't really care about anything else.

"I have no opinion either." Huan Yu Hao Tian nodded in response; since even his own deputy president agrees, what does he have to say?

"Apart from mission items, I won't compete for anything else."

At this point, Li Wenwan also spoke up.

The value of a Hidden Class goes without saying.

This time, as long as we complete the mission, that's enough; everything else doesn't matter.

After they had discussed it, everyone continued on their way.

On the way, Li Xiao kept glancing at Su Sheng's position, and from time to time a hint of suspicion flashed in his expression.

Seeing this many times, Li Wenwan beside him couldn't help but say: "Cousin, you still aren't giving up?"

"No..."

Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to refute.

Su Sheng naturally noticed Li Xiao's action, only feeling amused inside; he naturally knew what Li Xiao was doing, but he just didn't expose it.

"What? Shen Xiao Deputy President, did I grow flowers on my face?" Su Sheng said somewhat playfully.

"Mo Wen, brother, have we met somewhere before?"

Li Xiao finally spoke up with his doubt.

"What are you talking about, Shen Xiao Deputy President? I've never had the chance to come into contact with the top guild of Huan Yu Hao Tian." Su Sheng shook his head and said.

"Why do I keep feeling you look familiar?" Li Xiao said doubtfully.

"You're joking, Shen Xiao Deputy President; my younger brother just retired from the military a month ago, and before that he was always in the troops." Lin Huan said at this point.

"Is that so?" Li Xiao whispered.

"The video where people questioned my cheating had high views; Shen Xiao Deputy President, you must have seen me in it." Su Sheng said with a smile.

"Maybe." Shen Xiao shook his head, wondering if he was overthinking it.
