I have to say, Lucy’s contribution this time was indispensable.
Without her stealing skills, how could Zhang Yue have killed the Hell Envoy Biggs? And without that, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the Gate of Hell, obtain so many chests, and reap such rewards.
This trip to the Gate of Hell not only severely suppressed the Infinity Guild but also yielded loot and equipment worth two million from them!
And soon, a special type of equipment, Death’s Eye, would be born in their hands.
Not to mention the Hell Grade Chest, whose value is currently immeasurable.
In other words, all these gains were brought to Zhang Yue by Lucy!
How could he not recruit such an exceptional thief?
Thinking about the 50,000 monthly salary she would receive, Lucy happily took off her cloak, revealing a face that was slightly immature and unnaturally pale under her refined short hair.
She immediately greeted her colleagues, “Hello, everyone, I’m Ouyang Ling’er, please take care of me as a newcomer!”
Seeing Ouyang Ling’er’s “pale” face, Wu Haotian couldn’t help but say, “Wow, honestly, you’re even paler than the corpse of my brother who died two months ago!”
“Looks like you don’t go out much, an indoor girl, right?”
Wu Haotian couldn’t help but show some “concern” for the new guild member, “With such an unbeatable stealing skill, you must have done well in the Professionals Tournament, right?”
Ouyang Ling’er awkwardly held up one finger and stuck out her tongue, “Barely…barely made it to the top 100~”
“That shouldn’t be!” Wu Haotian pondered, “Your stealing skill can disarm opponents. Ten seconds should be enough for you to defeat them.”
“Her equipment is too poor,” Lin Tian observed Ouyang Ling’er and said, “She can’t deal enough damage. Even if the opponent just stands there, she can’t kill them.”
Wu Haotian asked, “What are your equipment attributes?”
“All white…”
Ouyang Ling’er’s answer was baffling, “Seriously, don’t you know there’s a refining function for equipment in the Otherworld? What did you use your Psionic Energy for if not refining your equipment?”
“My stealing skill is at grade A!” Ouyang Ling’er said proudly.
It turned out she had used all her Psionic Energy to upgrade her Stealing skill!
At this moment, Zhang Yue opened his storage space and displayed dozens of gold equipment pieces obtained from Infinity Guild professionals in front of Ouyang Ling’er, saying, “Pick some that you can use and put them on.”
Ouyang Ling’er couldn’t believe it, “I… can pick whatever I want?”
“Pick whatever you want.”
Ouyang Ling’er indeed picked several pieces of Assassin equipment and put them on right away.
Having never worn gold equipment before, she couldn’t describe her excitement at that moment.
“Thank you, Guild Leader! From now on, I will do my utmost to bring benefits to the guild!”
Thus, from this moment on, the Temple of Destiny’s members increased from four to five.
It might be hard to believe.
But this five-member guild didn’t have a single Common Grade professional!
At the very least, they were all Elite Grade!
Due to the previous massacre of many Infinity Guild members at the Gate of Hell, even though Zhang Yue had targeted their Red and Gray Name professionals as much as possible, he couldn’t avoid his ID turning pitch black.
In the Otherworld, level 40 monsters had a chance to drop level 5 materials.
So, Zhang Yue and his team randomly chose a level 40 wild area nearby, farming materials for crafting Death’s Eye while reducing their sin value.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After the battle at the Gate of Hell, the Infinity Guild suffered heavy losses.
Hundreds of members sat around the Revival Spring at Dawn Sanctuary, creating a peculiar scene.
“Damn! We didn’t get a single chest this time? All those hundreds of chests were snatched by Zero! We worked for nothing!”
“Don’t mention it. Ever since we encountered Zero, my gold equipment has been reduced to just three pieces! If this continues, even my underwear will be gone!”
“Why do I feel like that guy is treating us like an ATM?”
Infinity Phantom clenched his fists, full of rage, “What we’ve lost, I will make him pay back tenfold!”
To the east of Dawn Sanctuary, in the level 40 Man-eating Bug Kingdom.
After a day of farming level 40 Man-eating Bugs, Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, and the others had all returned to White Name status.
Only Zhang Yue’s ID remained pitch black!
“At this rate, not only will you miss dinner, but you probably won’t get any sleep tonight either!” Wu Haotian looked at Zhang Yue and sighed, “You were too ruthless when fighting the Infinity Guild!”
“If they don’t learn their lesson, I’ll teach them one,” Zhang Yue said to Wu Haotian and the others, “You guys go have dinner. Tonight, you’re free to do as you please.”
After the four left, the vast Man-eating Bug Kingdom was left with only Zhang Yue.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, the four returned!
“Didn’t you say we were free to do as we please? Why did you come back?”
“We’re a team!” Wu Haotian said, carrying his flaming spear, “A team shares both blessings and hardships!”
Lin Tian added, “We’ll help you reduce your sin value. There’s strength in numbers.”
Ouyang Ling’er, already familiar, said, “After we finish reducing the sin value, the Guild Leader has to treat us to a late-night snack!”
“You’re from Coastal City too?” Ning Tiantian asked Ouyang Ling’er.
“Yeah!” Ouyang Ling’er replied, “I live alone in the city center. Oh, speaking of which, my landlord is driving me crazy. I’ve told him about the clogged drain for ages, and he doesn’t care. Does our guild have a headquarters? Can I move there?”
Zhang Yue said, “It will be ready within a week at the latest.”
Zhang Yue’s original plan was to build the guild headquarters after winning the tournament and using the prize money.
But now, with the Infinity Guild as their ATM, it seemed the plan to build the Temple of Destiny’s headquarters could be advanced.
Just then, Zhang Yue received a Feixin message from Su Jinyan: “Zhang Yue, be careful these days. We at Mist Rain Pavilion might not be able to assist you in any future conflicts with the Infinity Guild.”
“What’s happening on your side?” Zhang Yue asked.
Su Jinyan replied, “The Infinity Guild retaliated against us in the higher world today and issued a warning. If we continue to oppose them, they will start suppressing Mist Rain Pavilion comprehensively…”
At the same time, Liu Yao also sent a message in the F4 group: “Damn! The Infinity Guild is so despicable! They can’t beat us new professionals, so they’re targeting the old ones!”
It seemed that the Supreme Guild was also being suppressed by the Infinity Guild.
The Infinity Guild was using their old members in the higher world to suppress the old members of Mist Rain Pavilion and the Supreme Guild, limiting their ability to support Zhang Yue.
It was clear that the Infinity Guild was about to target Zhang Yue again!
And indeed, Infinity Phantom was fully prepared to kill Zhang Yue this time!
Not only did he use the guild’s old members in the higher world to suppress the old members of Mist Rain Pavilion and the Supreme Guild, limiting their support for Zhang Yue.
But to ensure success, he even invited experts from the Tian Family, the top family in Tianjing!
On a rainy night.
Two helicopters landed on the rooftop of the Infinity Guild headquarters in Tianlang.
Dozens of Infinity Guild veterans had been waiting on the rooftop for a long time, including the highest board members of the Infinity Guild, Infinity Phantom’s grandfather Infinity Overlord, and other high-ranking officials, all personally welcoming them!
As the helicopters slowly landed, dozens of people disembarked one after another.
Leading them was a young man in a white suit, wearing sunglasses, exuding an air of arrogance. He fiddled with the expensive mechanical watch on his left wrist, chewing betel nut, and said indifferently, “I want to see just how capable that Beast Tamer is,”
“To be worth the Tian Family’s personal intervention!”
