Chapter 691: Qiancheng Muxue in Action

"Long live the Chairman!!"

"Deputy President V587!!!"

Ding~

At that moment, Chen Guan posted a red envelope in the Guild Channel, 88 Gold Coins per person!

"Deputy President Kong Lang, prosperity and wealth!!"

What could be happier than receiving a red envelope?

Su Sheng saw Chen Guan's red envelope and couldn't help but smile helplessly, that guy…

However, Kong Lang is already a second‑generation rich kid, and with the year‑end Yanhuang dividends, a one‑ or two‑million sum is nothing to Chen Guan.

If he loves to give, then let him give.

"Everyone, work hard to level up; take advantage of the seven‑day New Year buff to raise the guild's strength another tier!"

Su Sheng then cheered in the guild.

"Got it!"

"Understood, Chairman!"

Immediately after, Su Sheng opened the friends list.

"Chairman Yun Duo, Happy New Year…"

…

…

Level up! Level up!

On the first and second days of the New Year, nothing much happened; every player was busy leveling up.

On the evening of the third day of the New Year, during game time, a flash of golden light appeared on Su Sheng.

Finally leveled up!

Level 59!

The last twenty‑plus percent of experience from level 58, Su Sheng stubbornly spent two days on it…

And that was while reducing the experience of the Suanni Xiao Jia Huo.

Although Su Sheng was eager to level up Suanni Xiao Jia Huo, the little one's level gap was still a bit large, so it was best to raise his own level first; once his level increased, he could farm higher‑level monsters, giving the little one even more experience.

A pet's experience protection is based on the owner's experience protection cap.

For example, Su Sheng now farms level‑64 monsters with no experience reduction, and Suanni likewise.

Including the remaining time today, the New Year buff lasts a total of five more days.

Aiming for level 60, that's a challenge.

Just a few more Dungeons and it'll be fine…

Over at Chairman Yun Duo's side, there's still no news; Su Sheng, frustrated, doesn't know who actually holds Fragment Eleven.

After two days of upheaval, the equipment market is now relatively stable.

Mainstream green‑tier gear, depending on attributes, ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand.

Blue gear generally starts at about a thousand, and good attributes can reach seven or eight thousand.

Purple equipment starts around ten thousand, and top‑tier attributes can reach seventy or eighty thousand.

As for Epic‑level… they're mostly traded privately; the auction house has none.

Although the massive player base means there are actually quite a few Epic‑level items now, the top ten spots on the equipment leaderboard hardly show any Epic gear.

The top three remain three Divine Artifacts: Heavenly Cluster Cloud, Divine Thunder Magic Light, Blade of War God, while ranks four through nine are Legendary.

The tenth spot is an Epic, and the only Epic on the leaderboard, namely Su Sheng's magic rune ring.

The magic rune attribute is quite good; when stacked, it grants invincibility once per minute in Combat State.

Moreover, it's already level 60, a jewelry slot, which are all bonus points.

Even so, Epic‑level gear now costs almost 200,000 or more.

Items with good attributes have even been flipped for over a million.

Of course, these are prices for regular gear; items with special attributes are even pricier… for example, Survival Skills or those with healing or lifesteal effects.

Su Sheng offered Chairman Yun Duo 400,000, indicating the price was negotiable; in theory, that amount should be enough to purchase a decent Epic‑level piece.

Now it's just to buy an Epic fragment with no attributes, yet no one responded.

That's really odd; who actually holds this fragment?

Or perhaps that person hasn't seen the purchase notice yet?

…That possibility isn't impossible; let's wait a bit longer, it's only the third day.

Keep farming monsters! Level up!

……

"Brother Sheng, Qiancheng Muxue is making a move, probably preparing to fight the Commander‑level Boss to complete the Alliance Order, what should we say?"

During game time on the third day of the New Year, with just over an hour left, Chen Guan's message suddenly arrived.

"Oh? Tell me the details."

Su Sheng was a bit surprised by the message, but it was also expected; among the top ten guilds, only Qiancheng Muxue remained as a lone seed without a guild.

Now the recharge channel is open, so the Wei Family Conglomerate behind it is probably officially stepping up; the gear has been upgraded, naturally preparing to start a guild.

"They are gathering forces outside Baihu Main City, and the Imperial Dynasty is also involved, clearly ready to help."

"I see," Su Sheng mused lightly,

There's still the New Year buff, and it happens to be the perfect moment with the recharge channel open, plus the Imperial Dynasty is present; battling Qiancheng Muxue head‑on at this time isn't worth it.

Besides, it's already this time.

Even if Qiancheng Muxue built the guild, it would be too late.

It seems even the Imperial Dynasty has become a second-tier guild.

Among them, Yan and Huang, the Universe, and War to Stop War have already established their bases.

"At this point, there's no need to stubbornly insist."

"Besides, the Imperial Dynasty is also present, and after the recharge channel opened, their elite rate has greatly increased; if we clash head‑on now, we may not gain an advantage."

"In that case, assign a few Ten Court Yanluo to bring some people to keep an eye on them; if there's an opportunity, we can annoy them a bit; if not, just forget it."

After Su Sheng thought about it, he replied to Chen Guan.

"Okay."

"I'll personally lead the team!"

Seeing Chen Guan's reply, Su Sheng helplessly shook his head—this guy… forget it… let him be.

To some extent, Chen Guan's hatred of Qiancheng Muxue is even greater than Su Sheng's; after all, Su Sheng served in the military for seven years, and it was Chen Guan who led the Assassin Alliance against Qiancheng Muxue.

Of course… Qiancheng Gongzi… Wei Cheng equally hates everyone of Yan and Huang.

After making the arrangements, Su Sheng continued leveling up until the time was about right, then he took out a tent in the wilderness and logged off.

…

…

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Su Sheng's family went back to the village.

Because of some upheavals of the old era, Su Sheng's family here also has no close relatives left, but one can still be found on the clan genealogy.

Coming back also counts as paying respects to the ancestral land.

However… Su Sheng remembers that Huan Jie never used to come, after all Huan Jie is an outsider.

But this year, Huan Jie came along with them.

Looking at his parents' meaningful expression…

Su Sheng isn't stupid either; he naturally knows what his parents are thinking…

Just… pseudo blood kinship…

Sigh…

Su Sheng sighed in his heart.

His parents are older and don't really understand these things, which is understandable…

Just…

Su Sheng looked at the accompanying Huan Jie; logically, Huan Jie is also a top student, so it's impossible she wouldn't know about this.

But Huan Jie is also completely unaware…

Is this really okay?

Su Sheng is a bit torn; forget it… let things take their natural course.

Because there are no close relatives, he merely visited an elder in the village who is older and of the highest seniority, donating some money to the ancestral hall.

Then the family headed back home, after all they still had to play games in the evening…
