Zhening Province, Ganyang City, God of War Guild Headquarters Conference Hall.
A man in a suit sitting at the highest seat suddenly slammed the table and stood up, shouting sternly at the officials of the God of War Guild seated around the long table, “I told you to back off when you encounter the Heavenly Palace Guild, why didn’t you follow orders?!”
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
The man who was furious at them was none other than the chairman of the entire God of War Guild: Zhan Longying, the big boss they couldn’t afford to offend!
After a long silence, God of War Retribution stood up and said, “Sorry, Chairman, it’s not that we didn’t follow orders, we just wanted to do our best to bring benefits to the guild, so we didn’t want to throw the match.”
He paused, glanced at the others seated around the table, and continued, “They were all following my orders, Chairman. The responsibility lies with me alone. If you want to punish someone, punish me.”
Zhan Longying looked at Lin Tian and shouted sternly, “I appreciated your talent, that’s why I invited you to be the leader of our new professionals in the God of War Guild. Did I give you the right to make decisions on your own? How dare you defy my orders?”
“I’ve said it before, the matter of earning points for the guild will be handled by the professionals in the old district. You new professionals just need to obediently give points to the Heavenly Palace Guild!”
“We took five million from them! The guild’s continuous development cannot be separated from financial support. Don’t talk to me about not wanting to throw the match. For tomorrow’s final match, if you still play like before and don’t let the Heavenly Palace Guild win, then all of you can get out!”
“Meeting adjourned!”
With that, Zhan Longying got up and left.
Lin Tian clenched his fists.
At this moment, a message came through in the F4 group.
Liu Yao: “How did you guys do?”
Su Jinyan: “Not bad, the first two rounds were easier. I scored 40 points. How about you guys?”
Zhang Yue: “I also got 40.”
Liu Yao: “Wow, you guys are amazing! I only got 33 points. I need to ask my dad for some money to buy equipment!”
Liu Yao: “@Lin Tian, how about you? How many points did you get?”
Lin Tian looked at the messages in the group but didn’t reply. Instead, he directly closed Feixin.
In his mind, a past memory suddenly surfaced, plunging Lin Tian into endless pain!
At this moment, the vice president and elite members of the God of War Guild around him all came to ask for Lin Tian’s opinion: “Guild Leader, what should we do next?”
“For tomorrow’s match, just play according to the chairman’s instructions. Let the Heavenly Palace Guild win.”
“What about you, Guild Leader?”
Lin Tian held his head in his hands: “Don’t worry about me.”
On the other side.
The Fifth World, north of Dawn Sanctuary, lv36 Man-eating Ant Nest.
Zhang Yue, Wu Haotian, and Ning Tiantian were mechanically killing Man-eating Giant Ants.
The Dark Skeleton King and Wu Haotian were responsible for attracting monsters, Zhang Yue and the Apocalyptic Black Dragon were in charge of dealing damage, and Ning Tiantian focused on healing, along with the decent output from [This Milk is Poisonous]!
The group spent an entire day grinding in the Man-eating Ant Nest.
During this time, they also rescued two NPCs who were tied to the wall and about to be eaten by the Man-eating Giant Ants for dinner!
One of the tasks in the Fifth World: Rescue three NPCs and bring them back to Dawn Sanctuary.
As the time approached six in the evening, they were still a quarter short of their goal to kill 1000 Man-eating Giant Ants.
Planning to go down for dinner and then come back to complete the task, Zhang Yue and his team headed back to Dawn Sanctuary with the two NPCs.
Seeing Wu Haotian looking gloomy all day, Zhang Yue tossed him 5 gold coins.
In the Otherworld, although the higher the world level, the more devalued the gold coins, the single coin price in the Fifth World could still reach around 6000 yuan!
5 gold coins were worth 30,000 yuan!
Wu Haotian was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to think of something and immediately refused the coins: “A bet is a bet, if we agreed to deduct this month’s salary, then so be it!”
“Yes, the basic salary is deducted,” Zhang Yue said, “So this is your commission and bonus for the month.”
“Commission?” Wu Haotian’s heart instantly filled with joy!
Of course, he knew Zhang Yue was just saying that. In reality, he was just giving him his salary in a different form.
He wasn’t a boss who would randomly deduct his employees’ salaries!
Wu Haotian accepted the gold coins, feeling warm inside: “Such a boss, you couldn’t find even with a lantern in a latrine! I’m grateful to Infinity Phantom for kicking me out of the guild!”
And Zhang Yue’s next words filled Wu Haotian with hope and anticipation for the future: “Currently, funds are limited. When we have more money, we’ll find a place to establish the guild’s base. When the guild grows, everyone will gather to work together.”
Wu Haotian: “Witnessing the growth of a king’s guild, that’s incredibly meaningful!”
As they chatted, the group got closer and closer to the Safe Zone.
Just as the three were about to reach Dawn Sanctuary.
Zhang Yue, walking at the front, suddenly sensed something with his incredible awareness and shouted to the two behind him, “Fall back!”
Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian quickly retreated, while Zhang Yue used Teleportation to shift to the right.
The next second.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless arrows rained down from the sky, landing exactly where the three had been standing a moment ago!
As Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian were still in shock.
A large group of professionals with [Infinity] IDs on their heads emerged from the bushes on both sides of the road!
Leading the group were two people, one of them a level 32 second class change Holy Sword Warrior, Infinity Sword Saint.
The other was a man in black battle attire, wearing a black mask, looking extremely cold and exuding an aura of a powerful person, a level 34 second class change Phantom Assassin, Infinity Phantom!
An Epic Grade professional!
Infinity Phantom stared coldly at Zhang Yue and said, “Good awareness, but in my eyes, you’re just a clown.”
“You’re courting death, I see.”
“I’d love to see what the King of Hell looks like,” Zhang Yue said calmly, “Unfortunately, your people don’t have the ability to show me.”
Infinity Sword Saint pointed his sword at Zhang Yue and shouted coldly, “Do you know who you’re talking to? Our Infinity Guild Leader, an Epic Grade Phantom Assassin, killing you is like killing a chicken!”
Infinity Phantom drew a dagger that gleamed coldly, staring at Zhang Yue with icy eyes, “Want to meet the King of Hell? Easy, I’ll grant your wish.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Infinity Phantom’s figure moved like lightning, disappearing in an instant.
In a flash, he appeared right in front of Zhang Yue!
Just as the dagger in his hand was about to stab Zhang Yue in the face, Zhang Yue quickly dodged the attack with a leap.
This extreme dodge left everyone else dumbfounded.
“How much agility does it take to pull off such an extreme move?”
However, Infinity Phantom’s real target wasn’t Zhang Yue!
Just as Zhang Yue dodged Infinity Phantom’s attack.
Infinity Phantom suddenly switched targets, charging towards Ning Tiantian!
“Tiantian, watch out!”
Wu Haotian rushed from the right, shielding Ning Tiantian with his shield to block Infinity Phantom’s attack.
But as an Epic Grade Phantom Assassin, Infinity Phantom’s attack power was too high. Even a Rare Grade Flame Knight couldn’t withstand Infinity Phantom’s damage!
Slash, slash, slash!
Several consecutive strikes brought Wu Haotian’s health bar to the brink!
With a final slash, Infinity Phantom knocked Wu Haotian to the ground.
He then turned his gaze towards Ning Tiantian.
Whoosh!
A shadow strike instantly brought him behind Ning Tiantian, his cold and sharp dagger pressed against her fair neck.
“Seems like your guild leader is nothing special after all!”
Infinity Phantom said, “If you want them to live, take care of yourself!”
Just then, Zhang Yue’s voice came from the front: “Are you talking to me?”
Infinity Phantom looked up and was stunned to see:
Zhang Yue had one foot on the chest of Infinity Sword Saint, who had only 1 HP left, and his staff pointed at dozens of Infinity Guild professionals trapped in the Hell Judgment barrier with no escape.
Further back, the Apocalyptic Black Dragon had each foot pinning down two Infinity Guild professionals, a blazing dragon flame in its mouth ready to incinerate the fallen ones in front of it.
Several others were trapped in the Dark Skeleton King’s Shadow Sword Array, suffering torment.
The scene shattered Infinity Phantom’s worldview and destroyed his composure!
