“A cheat,” Su Yu muttered, his lips twitching.
He hadn't expected the archer to think that way.
Su Yu, without batting an eye, explained, “You've misunderstood. I wasn't using a cheat. A high-level NPC happened to pass by and killed these wild boars.”
“Oh, is that so?” The five-person team, except for the archer, nodded, believing Su Yu's explanation.
《Evolution》 had just launched, so it was unlikely that cheats would be available so soon.
If it wasn't a cheat, then the only explanation was “a high-level NPC passing by.” Otherwise, no one would believe that the wild boar corpses all over the ground were the work of Su Yu alone.
Snowflake Fall, with her sharp eyes, noticed the “lv2” tag after “Nemesis” and exclaimed, “Nemesis, you leveled up? I just saw you were level 1!”
“That's because… the high-level NPC gave me a buff before leaving, allowing me to solo wild boars. My experience was already almost full, and after killing a few wild boars, I leveled up,” Su Yu shrugged.
The five-person team also noticed Su Yu's level and exclaimed in admiration:
“Wow! You're already level 2!”
“We've been killing wild boars here since the server opened, and we're only at level 1 with 85% experience!”
“Did you get some kind of hidden quest?”
The leader of the team, a warrior, walked towards Su Yu and extended his hand:
“Hello! I'm Dongshan Sword, the team leader of the 'Slay Heavens' guild. Are you a solo player, brother? Are you interested in joining our guild? Our guild is the strongest guild in 《Magic Domain》.”
Dongshan Sword spoke eloquently.
Seeing that Su Yu's level was higher than theirs, he immediately had the intention of recruiting him.
As for 《Magic Domain》, that was another national-level full-immersion online game before 《Evolution》 launched.
… …
“Slay Heavens Guild?”
Hearing this name, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in Su Yu's eyes, and overwhelming hatred surfaced within them.
The Slay Heavens Guild was a very famous large guild in his previous life, ranking third nationwide.
The guild leader, “Slay Heavens Sword,” was exceptionally strong, upright, and had a good reputation.
But Su Yu knew that Slay Heavens Sword had secretly defected to the Skrulls in his previous life.
The "honest and simple" Slay Heavens Sword, leading the core team, gave the nation a vicious backstab when it was most needed, directly leading to the failure of the East Sea Defense War, resulting in the deaths of tens of millions of people at the hands of the Skrulls.
So, upon hearing the name “Slay Heavens,” Su Yu's goodwill towards the people in front of him immediately dropped to freezing point.
However, the Slay Heavens Guild hadn't betrayed humanity yet, and the hatred in Su Yu's eyes vanished in a flash.
“No need to invite me. I'm just playing the game casually. I might not even play in a couple of days,”
With that, Su Yu turned around and left without looking back.
“Hey—” Snowflake Fall reached out to try and stop Su Yu. She hadn't forgotten that the reason she came to the level 3 wild monster area was to invite Su Yu to team up and level up.
However, Snowflake Cream quickly stood in front of her daughter: “Fall, don't bother this little brother. Let's go back to the level 2 monster area to level up.”
As an officer who had just retired from the military, Snowflake Cream noticed the fleeting hatred in Su Yu's eyes.
Although he didn't know why, he knew that Su Yu must be in a bad mood, so he didn't let his daughter disturb him.
… …
Dongshan Sword and his team of five were also very puzzled by Su Yu's sudden cold departure.
The team's beautiful female priest thought that Su Yu looked down on them and said angrily:
“Tch! What's with the attitude? So what if you got lucky and got a hidden quest to level up to level 2? Why are you not putting our Slay Heavens Guild in your eyes?”
Moreover, she was very confident in her appearance. When Su Yu's gaze swept across her face, it didn't linger for even a moment, which was too infuriating!
“That's right, we are the number one guild in 《Magic Domain》! Others can't even squeeze in if they break their heads!”
“This person is too arrogant, right? Does he really think he's an expert?”
Dongshan Sword's other two teammates also chimed in.
Even Dongshan Sword himself felt that Su Yu looked down on them, and his expression was a little unsightly.
Snowflake Cream saw this and knew that there was a deeper reason hidden within.
So he laughed loudly to defuse the situation for Su Yu:
“Haha, since you are high-end players of the 'Slay Heavens Guild,' I wonder if you can let my daughter and I join your guild as well?”
Hearing Snowflake Cream's words, Dongshan Sword and his team of five stopped discussing Su Yu.
Dongshan Sword glanced at Snowflake Fall and quickly nodded: “Of course! After we reach level 10 and enter the main city, I will invite you to join the guild.”
Snowflake Fall was, after all, a great beauty, and beauties have always been a scarce resource in online games, so Dongshan Sword would naturally not refuse.
In the following time, under Snowflake Cream's deliberate guidance, Dongshan Sword's five-person team temporarily forgot about Su Yu, and the group chatted and laughed as they continued to level up in the wild boar area.
Level 4 Monster Area.
Su Yu was the only person in the vast leveling area.
Su Yu strolled leisurely through the monster area.
After leveling up to level 2, his 1 【Lightning Arrow】 could deal nearly 100 points of damage to targets with zero defense!
And the level 4 wild monster 【Hillside Sheep】 only had 60 health points. Even with defense and level suppression, they couldn't withstand a single spell from Su Yu.
- 78 -
62 (【Fireball】 Scroll) -
80 -
61 -
83
The 【Hillside Sheep】 fell one by one at Su Yu's feet, no different from the 【Black Wild Boar】 just now.
“Ding! You have killed 【Hillside Sheep lv4】, gaining 4 experience points.”
“Ding! You have killed 【Hillside Sheep lv4】, gaining 4 experience points, obtaining material 【Mutton】.”
“Ding! You have killed 【Hillside Sheep lv4】…”
Leveling up tediously, Su Yu's thoughts had long since flown to the far corners of the world.
What he thought about the most was the “Slay Heavens Guild.”
In his previous life, the Slay Heavens Guild was a behemoth to Su Yu.
Take Slay Heavens Sword, for example. Even if 100 Su Yus added up, they might not be a match for him alone.
But in this life, should he do something to suppress the Slay Heavens Guild?
For example, delaying their guild's development progress, creating enemies for them, or even kicking Slay Heavens Sword himself out of the game?
After careful consideration, Su Yu nodded, deciding to do just that! He couldn't let the traitor's power expand wantonly!
But then the problem came again:
The Slay Heavens Guild had a good reputation and had brought a group of loyal fans from 《Magic Domain》, able to gain the support of most ordinary players.
Rashly suppressing a righteous guild would not only make Su Yu's own reputation worse but would also arouse the sympathy of ordinary players, and the guild would become even more resilient.
How exactly should he suppress the Slay Heavens Guild?
Su Yu fell into thought.
