Speed
Han Xing’s rapid rise in rankings naturally caught the attention of members from other guilds.
They didn’t care whether those they sent were intentionally boosting Han Xing’s score. What they wanted to do was slow down Han Xing’s progress.
The members of Hank Guild were not as narrow-minded as the others. When Roger saw how other guilds from Country Y were desperately sniping at Han Xing, he felt somewhat displeased.
He wanted to have a match with Star Rebel or other members of the Mad Dragon Guild, but unfortunately, these people ruined his opportunity. Damn it! At the current rate, Han Xing didn’t know when he would break into the top 50. Roger’s current rank was 35, and only players within the top 50 could compete against him.
The leaderboard was not stable, and he chose not to continue climbing because he wanted to save the final push for the last three days before the end.
This was also the mindset of most players on the leaderboard. Achieving a good rank now was natural to boost the guild’s reputation.
However, there was no need to do it at this time. Rising too quickly would only make them vulnerable to counterattacks from other guilds.
“Guild Master, do we need to go help the Mad Dragon Guild? To ensure they get through this difficult situation smoothly?”
The member’s words made Roger furrow his brow slightly, and he shook his head. “No, we can’t. We’ve already angered the investors last time, and we absolutely can’t afford to do it again. Otherwise, the future of the Hank Guild will be in jeopardy.”
Roger personally handpicked the members of the Hank Guild, bringing together people who shared a passion for the game. Last time, no one thought Roger had any issues with the leaderboard incident.
Now, upon hearing the Guild Master’s words, everyone could only sigh.
Yairina didn’t have such a good temper as Roger. At this moment, she was already in a constant tirade in the Raye Guild. Her beautifully elven face was now completely contorted.
“You fools! If it weren’t for you, how could the Raye Guild have suffered such a huge humiliation?!”
“Hundreds of you can’t even handle a small foreign player? I don’t believe that he’s that difficult to deal with!”
Faced with Yairina’s curses, not a single person dared to utter a word.
These players had joined the Raye guild because of the favorable perks and benefits it offered. Little did they know that Yairina’s father was the guild’s biggest investor.
How could they possibly offend their benefactor? At this moment, all they could do was silently endure.
Yairina had never fought against Star Rebel, so she naturally had no idea how formidable he was. The individuals they had sent to snipe Star Rebel included warriors, mages, and various other classes.
However, Han Xing was exceptional in long-range attacks and close-quarters defense. Even in a melee battle, he could hold his own and fight back, like an all-around machine. He was simply not their match. Coupled with Star Rebel’s skillful attacks, the damage was simply too high.
Even if not all of these attacks hit, as long as a few of them succeed, how could they keep fighting?
Unfortunately, no matter how unhappy these players were, they couldn’t erupt at a time like this.
Alpha advised and stood by Yairina’s side. “Guild Master Yairina, don’t be so mad. The other guild masters are still causing trouble for Star Rebel. It’ll be a while before he can reach the top hundred.”
Alpha spoke with great confidence. His ranking was in the top 100, and he reassured, thumping his chest. “Don’t worry. Once Star Rebel reaches the top hundred, 1’11 be the first to attack and blast him out.”
Upon hearing his words, a smile returned to Yairina’s face, and her beautiful countenance naturally enchanted Alpha.
The members of the East Sea Guild were already extremely displeased. Originally, they were a guild heavily nurtured by Country H.
If the Twelfth Guild was Country H’s way of making money, then the East Sea Guild was purely a technical department.
Throughout, Country H gaming technology had always ranked highly worldwide, to the point of being dominant.
But in the Second World game, they didn’t gain any advantage. Being oppressed by the Luwha Guild was bad enough, but when they tried to make progress, they were targeted by members of the Shadow Blade Guild.
These were renowned major guilds, and he could tolerate that much. But then, the Mad Dragon Guild appeared out of nowhere. Who did they think they were?
“Guild Master, we can increase our efforts and continue disrupting him. My character’s score is not far behind his.”
Ming En’s words made Li Shangzhi’s expression even more grim. “Are you a fool? Now is not the time to be giving points to Star Rebel. Your strength is no match for him. Don’t let him advance any further.”
“And do you think the people from other guilds will let him go up so easily?”
It must be said that these major guilds looked down on the Mad Dragon Guild, but they still feared Star Rebel. Now they all had the same thought: it would be great if Star Rebel didn’t log in to this game anymore, wouldn’t he just quit this game?
At this moment, Zhang Wanshan was still narrating Han Xing’s gameplay in the live broadcast. These past few days, he had almost turned into a true fan of Han Xing through watching him.
Whether it was in terms of gameplay or attacks, Han Xing was simply flawless. As a mage player, how could he not appreciate the skill level of Han Xing?
He had become the guild master of the Mad Dragon Guild and gained the fame he deserved.
“If we were to select a mage ceiling in the Second World, my first choice would be Guild Master Star Rebel. He is truly formidable, so strong that I have to admit it.”
Zhang Wanshan’s words caused the fans watching his live broadcast to nod. Most of Zhang Wanshan’s fans were mage players, so they were familiar with Star Rebel’s gameplay.
“His agility is truly unbeatable. I hope that Star Rebel could release a tutorial on agility. It would be incredibly helpful for us mage players.”
“Your evasive skills were impressive before. I thought they were quite practical, but now, oh my! It’s just too embarrassing.”
“Guild Master Star Rebel demonstrated to us what it means to have the best defense by using his strength, which is an offense.”
“No player could withstand his attacks.”
Han Xing’s personality was unlike the other members of the Mad Dragon Guild. When faced with someone sniping at him, he didn’t hesitate to play along and directly unleashed his skills. Using the mechanism of Lightning Steps, he instantly obliterated them.
The more snipers targeting him, the better. His score was skyrocketing at an incredible speed, and he had already climbed up to the top 100. His progress was truly astonishing.
Ordinary players were no match for Han Xing. It was even more frustrating for members of other guilds, as their attempts to snipe him only resulted in them giving away points.
Petite Delicate watched with great delight and proudly exclaimed, “See? That’s the strength of our guild master! Isn’t he amazing?”
