Chasing after Scavenger, this guild’s name is Old Dream Time. Within the Continent of Genesis, it can be considered a high-ranking guild in the second echelon.
The guild chasing Scavenger is called [Old Dream Time]. It is considered to be a high-level guild in the second tier of the Genesis Continent.
In fact, in this game, it is also very easy to distinguish which tier a guild belongs to. Usually, guilds that have a stable spot in the Century Cup League are undoubtedly first-tier super guilds. Those guilds that need to go through the Year Cup, a preliminary event, to compete for a spot in the Century Cup in the first half of the year, are second-tier guilds. Beyond that, guilds that do not even have the competitiveness to compete in the Year Cup are undoubtedly third- and fourth-tier guilds.
And Old Dream Time is a regular participant in the Year Cup.
During lucky times, they’ve managed to secure tickets to the Century Cup, strolling through that top-tier tournament. During unlucky times, they’ve still maintained a spot within the top eight in these qualifying events.
This time, there were a total of 25 individuals chasing after Scavenger.
The number is just right for a team, which clearly shows that they came prepared
It is very clear, just like what Scavenger said in response to Gentleman Fan, that she was set up.
However, the people of Old Dream Time had their plans all figured out, but they never expected that someone would suddenly appear in the middle of it all, and that person was even five people!
Deep Well Ice Player has always known how to arrange mine fields for maximum effect. With Gentleman Fan’s lead, he even guided the opponent’s movements. The deafening explosions rang out in waves, and the whole scene was like boomshakaka.
The entirety of Old Dream Time was left bewildered, submerged in chaos, and lost their direction within the subsequent emergence of the Rune Field.
The team captain, whose game ID is [Nightmare Shura], has been lurking on the forum these days to eat the melons about the returning players of Seven Silver Coins. He never expected that as he kept eating the melons, he would end up eating one about himself today.
As a professional player who has participated in several Year Cup events, he was clearly calmer than the others. He quickly directed everyone to steady their footing in the team voice chat, and then called out a name: “White Shark, you just said that this Scavenger exploded your equipment, but you didn’t say she knew PoisonedMilk?”
White Shark’s tone also sounded somewhat disgruntled, “Who knew she’d actually call for reinforcements.”
Actually, the cause of today’s incident was a few days ago when White Shark led a group to kill players in the wilderness for loot. Accidentally running into Scavenger, they engaged in combat but ended up being counter-killed.
The gear dropped happened to be the new weapon he had painstakingly acquired recently.
At that time, White Shark asked his teammates to guard his precious equipment. However, after the Scavenger killed him and left, she returned unexpectedly and snatched away his belongings.
Even though he had looted items from innocent bystanders before, it didn’t mean he could tolerate losing his cherished possessions.
White Shark remembered Scavenger’s game ID on the spot and vowed for revenge. Later on, he attempted several times to ambush her, but each time, he failed.
Frustrated, he called for help from his guildmates.
After spending a few days pinpointing Scavenger’s frequent locations, they deliberately set up a fake fight scene to lure Scavenger out.
The entire plan went extremely smoothly until a sudden turn of events brought about the current situation.
At this point, White Shark naturally didn’t want to abandon their previous efforts.
Because that equipment had been so hard for him to obtain and yet was snatched away by this scavenger, the more he thought about it, the more furious he became. He clenched his teeth and said, “Forget about their seven or eight silver coins, there are only five of them against our group of over twenty! Let’s do this!”
As his words fell, Nightmare Shura saw several avatars in the team darkening: “…Now, we’re left with 18.”
Responses poured in from the guild members, seeking help, “Ah, this Rune Field is so annoying! Who can get us out of here!”
The blinding Field of Jiang Shi momentarily impaired the vision of the assisting members of Old Dream Time.
This undoubtedly created an excellent opportunity for Deep Well Ice Player to execute a sneak attack.
After reloading heavy artillery, there came another round of firepower assault that greatly pleased the operator.
The batch of people who just stepped on the minefield was now down to their last scraps of health and were swiftly eliminated.
As for the rear, Gentleman Fan had long completed the flanking maneuver, consecutively picking off isolated players, making the harvest of heads quite joyful.
Although Old Dream Time had the numerical advantage, they had already lost the initiative when they stumbled into the minefield. Moreover, in the eyes of these ordinary players, they were akin to AI battles and had almost completed the clearance instantly.
Nightmare Shura was quite decisive, “Retreat, we can’t win.”
Naturally, White Shark didn’t want to leave just like that, but before he could speak, he saw the group that had fallen earlier respond to Nightmare Shura’s command, collectively returning to the respawn point, then leaving the map without a backward glance.
White Shark: “…”
D*mn it! Knew these people would be useless when needed!
He unwillingly gritted his teeth and, raising his head, caught sight of Scavenger’s figure flashing by from not too far away.
Observing the intense battle here, then leaving only to come back and reclaim the loot again?!
Fine then, if you love scavenging so much, I’ll let you have it!
“If you don’t go, I’ll go myself!”
White Shark’s face darkened, and he swiftly accelerated towards Scavenger’s direction, chasing after her.
Nightmare Shura allowed the attacked gang members to leave, but it was impossible to leave only White Shark behind. This was quite a headache, but he had to catch up quickly.
These two people are both professional players from the Old Dream Time guild who are participating in the Year Cup. They often train together in their daily lives, so it’s natural that they have a good understanding of each other’s play.
Nightmare Shura, who caught up from behind, provided cover from a distance. He used the Summoner’s level 45 skill to summon the Hell Three-Headed Dog, quickly passing by White Shark and preemptively dispelling four pre-placed thief traps.
Although White Shark’s words earlier seemed decisive, rushing in so decisively was based on the judgment that Nightmare Shura would inevitably act.
Having the Hell Three-Headed Dog clearing the way gave confidence. Approaching at the first moment, utilizing the Swordsman’s skill, a swift close-quarter flash was executed. Subsequently, using a follow-up sword skill to perform a combo, a sudden thrust from behind inflicted a massive amount of damage, directly reducing a significant portion of White Shark’s health.
Although the junk couldn’t stop Scavenger’s determination, seeing so much equipment dropping, she couldn’t resist the temptation to grab a few items and return.
Primarily, she didn’t expect the Old Dreams Guild’s “mad dog” to bite so fiercely.
At this time, the two people were very close, and Scavenger was finally able to see the other person’s ID clearly. A trace of understanding flashed across her eyes: “Undead.”
White Shark snorted, “We meet again.”
Scavenger also coldly chuckled, “You randomly killed people, ended up too weak to defend against having your equipment looted, wanted to add insults as friends afterward, attempted to ambush me four or five times unsuccessfully, and now you’re calling for help.”
White Shark’s face turned pale after being described in such a way, “I’ll make you regret this.”
Scavenger retorted, “Oh, isn’t it said that the instigator is the guilty one?”
White Shark activated the Swordsman’s ultimate skill on the spot, “Keep talking tough; let’s see if you’ll still be laughing after I loot your equipment.”
Watching the impending sword energy, Scavenger clicked her tongue lowly.
Indeed, she couldn’t understand the other’s thought process. Killing recklessly in the wilderness was fine, but being enraged over losing equipment and relentlessly pursuing her was absurd.
Scavenging itself was widely condemned, and she had grown accustomed to living on the edge.
Most of the time, she made a good profit, but occasional mishaps occurred, mainly because her backpack was too full, inevitably affecting her movement speed when overweight.
This was currently an awkward situation.
Kiting this group of people at a distance was manageable, but once they closed in, even evading was considerably difficult due to limited agility.
Although she felt a bit sorry for the loot in her backpack that would likely be lost, she was willing to accept the final outcome with a philosophy of doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.
Scavenger promptly activated the Thief’s level 55 skill [Escape] In the instant the sword energy swept over her, she cleared all her negative status effects and entered stealth.
Her retreat process was already extremely agile. Under usual circumstances, she would have escaped unscathed long ago. However, her excessive burden severely hindered her movement agility at this moment.
Under the prolonged control effects of the summoned creature, coupled with added deceleration, after White Shark’s ultimate ended, he closed the gap with a chasing move.
Whether it was due to precise anticipation or sheer luck, the descending sword energy was about to catch up.
Glancing at the materials and items about to bid farewell in her backpack, Scavenger sighed.
Yet, the killing blow did not come.
At the critical moment, a beam of light flashed across her body, and the raised healing spell pulled her back from the brink of death in an extremely thrilling manner.
Upon turning around, White Shark was already firmly under the control of the rune field. In the team’s voice chat, Jiang Shi’s tone carried a teasing note, “Who wants this bounty?”
“I do, I do!” What Pen Carries Fragrance, having finally tinkered with the live streaming system after observing for quite a while, found an opportunity to act.
With a quick stride, wielding a long spear, they rushed in, targeting White Shark’s face.
Under the continuous control of the rune field, White Shark struggled to gain any momentary freedom to act. Before he could make a move, he was hit squarely with a Knight’s taunt.
Meanwhile, Nightmare Shura, unable to intervene in time, had been intercepted by Gentleman Fan behavior.
The two bodies didn’t stay on the ground for long. Amidst the scrutiny of the Seven Silver Coins, they promptly returned to the nearest resurrection point.
Scavenger’s health had already been fully restored by the kindly young man, and she was no longer in the dire state from before. Calmly and unhurriedly, she stashed the newly dropped equipment from the ground into her backpack.
Only then did she realize that everyone was looking at her.
After a moment of contemplation, she said, “How can I thank you?”
Just as Gentleman Fan returned and heard this, he smoothly responded, “With your hand in marriage?”
In response, Scavenger swiftly hurled a throwing knife, indicating her reply.
Gentleman Fan chuckled, “Just kidding. If you need support, I’m here to heal, ask him, ask him.”
Jiang Shi didn’t directly respond but asked, “They all seemed to belong to the same guild. Did you provoke the Old Dreams Guild?”
Scavenger didn’t deny it, “I provoked their mad dog.”
That was precisely the answer Jiang Shi wanted. He smiled, “Don’t stick to the usual formalities of thanking; why not join our guild directly?”
Scavenger asked, “Why?”
Jiang Shi explained, “If this situation arises again in the future, isn’t it easier to cause trouble within the same guild?”
After a second of thought, Scavenger replied, “That could work.”
[“Wow, are guild feuds really this casual?”]
[“Why do I feel like the Seven Silver Coins really want to cause trouble now?”]
[“Pitying What Pen Carries Fragrance, I already felt from the forum that this group of gang members isn’t easy to handle. Just as expected.”]
[“I felt like he was quite happy earlier when he was standing there collecting heads.”]
[“So, are the Seven Silver Coins and Old Dreams Guild considered enemies now?”]
[“Wasn’t it said that Old Dreams Guild was the closest to the top among the second-tier guilds? Why do they seem so weak?”]
[“It could also be that the opponents are too strong?”]
[“What Pen Carries Fragrance, is your guild looking for an opportunity to start a guild war?”]
What Pen Carries Fragrance had been striking poses since collecting a head earlier, not paying much attention to these people’s conversation until she vaguely noticed something amiss on the screen. Acting belatedly, she decisively interrupted, “…Save it for later, discuss when you get back. I’m streaming here! Or, come say hi first?”
[[Team] Deep Well Ice Player has left the team.]
“Why did he leave?” asked What Pen Carries Fragrance.
Jiang Shi chuckled, “He went somewhere where he doesn’t need to say hello.”
“What’s the point of saying hello? Boring. I’m leaving too,” said Gentleman Fan, also leaving the team.
In an instant, two members had left the team. What Pen Carries Fragranceg glanced at the current number of viewers in the live broadcast room, suddenly looking troubled, “Why is everyone leaving? I just started broadcasting; are you all ending it now?”
“Add Scavenger to the guild first,” Jiang Shi glanced at the time, “If willing, you can come with me to the arena for a few matches.”
“Willing, definitely!” What Pen Carries Fragrance quickly added Scavenger, holding a spear, almost skipping along. “Brother Healer, you’re my savior!”
Serious Young Man: “Master, I also want to go.”
Jiang Shi was quite magnanimous, “Go ahead, everyone goes.”
[“Wow, this is great! Is Healer going to the arena with toxic healing skills? This is going to be awesome!”]
[“Looking forward to it, let’s aim for a ‘666’ rating in advance!”]
[“What Pen Carries Fragrance, this surge in popularity is fantastic. Is this what it feels like to ride on someone’s coattails? Admirable!”]
[“I’m going to call my friends to come and watch; it feels like it’s going to explode, hahaha.”]
[“Let’s be honest, What Pen Carries Fragrance, this topic you chose this time is way more interesting than broadcasting your own daily life.”]
[“Although, PoisonedMilk seems to be a Light Elf, a support… soloing in the arena?”]
Just as the live broadcast went live, What Pen Carries Fragrance had already changed the room name to [Speak up for Justice, Whoever Runs in the Group is a Coward!]
Now, following Jiang Shi towards the arena, he repeatedly made a few modifications before finally satisfyingly confirming the title.
The final title read, [“Shocking! Is it a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality, the support goes solo in the arena for ranking?!”]
Although the homepage couldn’t display the complete text, at least the namer felt satisfied.
Judging by the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room, it was evident that people had been attracted by the title and were gradually joining in.
Many seemed to be passing by for some fun, and then, inadvertently stumbled upon the game ID in the frame.
None of them were leaving anymore.
