“Have you been entering copies recently?”
Bai Lixin looked at everyone and asked.
Zhou Guang: “I haven’t, and Xia Chi hasn’t either. Li Cancan and Liang Xi went into a copy once each, one for five days and the other for seven days, both before you returned.”
“Xia Chi and I stayed here to search for the tokens. We’ve been searching for ten days, and even with Xia Chi’s good luck, we only found one, and it was a repeat. Sorry, God Xin.”
Bai Lixin responded with an “Oh”: “It’s okay. How much time is left until the end of the Nationwide Battle Event?”
Zhou Guang: “Ten days. Are you planning to enter a copy?”
Bai Lixin: “No, I’ll focus on finding the tokens in these ten days. I’m afraid if I enter another copy, it might take another ten days, and I might miss this event.”
Zhou Guang: “I was thinking the same thing and was planning to tell you this. Currently, you should be only missing the token for the 450th floor; you have all the others.”
Bai Lixin: “Zhou Guang, tell me, how many tokens does the Shentian Guild have now?”
Zhou Guang: “When you entered the copy, a total of 24 tokens appeared. You have 15, Shentian Guild has 6, and Sun Ning has 1. In the ten days you were in the copy, the Shentian Guild found 4 more tokens, so they now have 10. Do you want to know which floor tokens they have?”
Bai Lixin: “Not interested. Then on our side, if we include the ones Xia Chi found later, we have a total of 16 tokens. Adding the 10 from the Shentian Guild and Sun Ning’s 1, those are 27, and 9 are still missing.”
Zhou Guang: “Correction, Sun Ning gave you her token later, so you have a total of 17. In total, there are 27 tokens found on the market. You have 17, and they have 10. Two tokens from the 450th floor have not been found. However, you have all the tokens for the 250th floor. God Xin, it’s not just a Nationwide Battle Event now; it’s a battle between you and the Shentian Guild. Your chances of winning are even greater.”
“We have a good chance of winning. As long as we find the tokens for the 450th floor, the victory is ours.”
Bai Lixin pursed his lips: “But the Shentian Guild can also get corresponding rewards with the tokens they have now.”
‘Why should I let the enemy get gifts my husband wants to give me?’
Zhou Guang and Li Cancan glanced at each other: “So, what do you mean?”
Bai Lixin: “I want them to have no tokens at all.”
Surprise flashed in everyone’s eyes, and Hongyue’s eyes lit up: “Great, I’ve been waiting to see them fall! Hahaha! Bai Lixin, if you can get all their tokens, you won’t just be Xia Chi’s god but also mine!”
Song Yuantian secretly tugged at Hongyue’s finger.
“Now, what’s in front of us is how you plan to make them willingly hand over the ten tokens?” Zhou Guang pushed his glasses, “Little Overlord is no longer the same as before. You fooled him once, he won’t fall for it a second time. Besides, he now has the Shentian Guild backing him. I can’t think of any way to make them willingly hand over the ten tokens.”
Bai Lixin: “I remember there was such a rule in the competition. When the game reaches its final stage, it enters the exchange phase.”
Zhou Guang: “Yes, but isn’t the exchange usually one for one? Or using point cards or items to exchange.”
“Usually, yes. But in fact,” Bai Lixin tapped the table, “the rules don’t specify how the exchange should be. It only says that those days are the exchange period, doesn’t it?”
Zhou Guang: “So, how do you want to exchange?”
Bai Lixin: “Let’s talk about it at that time. For now, let’s use these ten days to find the remaining tokens.”
Xia Chi: “We’ve already searched thoroughly.”
Bai Lixin: “It’s okay, I’ll search.”
‘I have a backer.’
Bai Lixin: “By the way, where’s Li Cangshan?”
Bai Lixin suddenly mentioned this person and everyone was a bit surprised. Li Cancan was the first to react: “He entered a copy; this player is even more determined than you. After you come back, you’ll rest for one or two days, maybe three or four days. As for him, he’s in a copy or on the way to a copy. I don’t know what his wish is, but he’s working so hard.”
‘What is his wish?
To destroy this broken place.
To take all of you back home.’
Bai Lixin: “How far has he climbed now?”
Li Cancan: “Almost 200 floors.”
Bai Lixin looked up when he heard that, “Quite fast.”
Li Cancan: “He not only works hard but is also very capable. Although he claims to be a sports major, I don’t see it that way.”
Zhou Guang: “I also noticed his skills and his keen perception and reaction to various dangers. These aren’t things a sports major would possess.”
Xia Chi lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, “Let me tell you, I wanted to join the police academy before. I watched a lot of videos about the police force. There are experts and those with grappling and sniping skills are usually special forces. And among these high-skilled experts, most of them come from the military.”
“So I followed the clues and watched a lot of military documentaries. I found that Li Cangshan gives me the same feeling. That kind of vigor and tenacity is similar to the soldiers I’ve seen in the military.”
“So I suspect he might be a soldier. Moreover, he might be a special forces soldier. The challenges he experienced in reality were probably already of the highest difficulty. How could he be afraid of those trash monsters in the copy?”
Zhou Guang and others were surprised but quickly calmed down.
Unexpected but reasonable.
Only a seasoned soldier could remain unfazed in such a harsh environment.
Bai Lixin’s gaze silently swept over everyone’s faces.
It had to be said that although Xia Chi usually looked silly, his sixth sense was indeed strong.
Many noticed something strange about Li Cangshan, but only Xia Chi accurately pointed out his identity.
Everyone looked at Bai Lixin together, wanting confirmation.
Li Cangshan was the only player Bai Lixin recruited into the guild. Moreover, he tried to join the guild several times so they all had a deep impression of Li Cangshan.
From the beginning, it seemed that Bai Lixin paid a different kind of attention to Li Cangshan, so he must have known his identity.
Bai Lixin smiled without saying anything, just nodded silently.
Xia Chi slapped the table: “See, I told you so! My observational skills are quite good. The future Sherlock Holmes in the police world will undoubtedly be me!”
Li Cancan: “So why does he want to hide it?”
Zhou Guang: “No matter where he is, his identity is very special. Perhaps he doesn’t want to attract people’s attention.”
Liang Xi: “No wonder he failed to join the guild every time; it turns out he lied about his profession, sigh.”
Zhou Guang: “God Xin, why are you bringing him up now?”
Bai Lixin: “I didn’t have time to watch his live broadcast. I just wanted to ask you how you evaluate his live broadcast. But from the floors he has reached, his performance should be good?”
Xia Chi raised his thumb: “Very impressive. Although he’s a novice, he almost always finishes first each time.”
Bai Lixin: “I plan to give him some performance points to help him advance to the advanced copy area sooner. I’ve studied our copies, they are divided into three major intervals: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Each interval is further divided into three different difficulty levels. Basically, the copies entered on each floor can only be in that area. There is a minimum floor restriction to enter an advanced copy, and the restriction is around floor 400.”
“If I want him to accompany us in the future to challenge a certain copy, he first needs to reach the 400th floor.”
“How many performance points do we have in the guild now?”
Zhou Guang was stunned for a moment, “Adding them all up, it’s only enough for him to reach the 300th floor ”
Bai Lixin: “That’s enough. Help him a bit, and leave the rest to him.”
Zhou Guang nodded, not dissatisfied that all the guild’s performance points were moved, “Okay, I understand.”
Li Cancan: “His copy will end in three days. After he comes out, I’ll ask him to come here and talk to him.”
Bai Lixin: “Alright. Also, as for the fact that we all know his identity, please keep it confidential for now. They should have their own discipline. Since he doesn’t want to disclose it, there’s no need for us to expose him.”
Everyone nodded, “Understood.”
After a brief silence, Zhou Guang added, “By the way, there’s turmoil in the Raging Flame Guild. Several high-ranking members left suddenly, and Sun Ning took back her brother’s position as the guild leader.”
Li Cancan sighed, “Sun Ning is really strong. After entering a copy together, I was captivated by her charismatic personality. With her intelligence, she’s suitable for the role of guild leader.”
Zhou Guang continued, “But those high-ranking members threaten to make things difficult for Sun Ning. Also, Raging Flame Guild has fallen from the second rank on the leaderboard. The departing members took many trusted aides and resources with them. Now, Raging Flame Guild is ranked around forty, similar to the ranking of the Core Fire Guild.”
“Instead, those old members formed a new guild called Kill Flame Guild. Despite being a new guild, many players joined die to the enticing guild rewards, making it quickly rise to become the third-largest guild.”
Bai Lixin: “Third largest guild? So, you’re now the second-largest guild, President Song?”
Song Yuantian, who had his head lowered and was playing with Hongyue’s hand, blushed when he was suddenly called and immediately raised his head, “Uh, yes, we are now the second-largest guild.”
Bai Lixin: “Congratulations.”
Song Yuantian, “It’s nothing, it’s all thanks to my peers who support me.”
After saying this, he lowered his head, focusing on playing with Hongyue.
Zhou Guang: “In summary, Raging Flame Guild is heavily damaged now. This new guild, Kill Flame Guild, has a name clearly targeting Raging Flame Guild. While Sun Ning managed to reclaim the guild created by her brother, it’s like killing one thousand enemies and injuring oneself by eight. Their situation is tough now.”
Li Cancan: “Even in such difficult circumstances, Sun Ning’s actions show she’s not just a selfish and clever person concerned only with the final result. She is still very loyal and committed. I remember she promised not to give her token to the Shentian Guild.”
Zhou Guang: “it’s probably because the Shentian Guild knew the token was in her possession that they constantly pressured her. In a fit of anger, she simply gave it to you.”
Xia Chi: “But isn’t the Shentian Guild too terrifying? They can directly pull players into their home ground. I can’t imagine what would happen if one of us or Sun Ning were pulled in. Would we survive?”
Li Cancan rubbed her temples, “My head hurts. Ever since I entered this game, I’ve only known about Sandsea Guild and Raging Flame Guild. I’ve hardly heard of the Shentian Guild. How come they’re so strong? Is that Elder Qingcheng in their guild a high-ranking member, or just an ordinary member? If an ordinary member is this formidable, won’t you be in a difficult position with their targeting, God Xin?”
She sighed heavily, “Originally, God Xin’s luck was only F-, and now it’s probably dropped to Z-.”
Bai Lixin: “???”
‘Just talk, why did it suddenly turn into an attack?!
Are you polite?!’
*Btw, “Are you polite” is used when expressing speechlessness for someone’s behavior or words.“In regards to the Shentian Guild, I do have some understanding.” Song Yuantian, who had been flirting with Hongyue, raised his head. “The Shentian Guild is older than us, but during our time, they weren’t as arrogant.”
Bai Lixin: “The Shentian Guild existed earlier than you?”
Based on the clues he obtained, Dijia should have entered this game around the same time as Song Yuantian. He thought the Shentian Guild was established after Dijia, but it turned out to be a long standing guild.
Song Yuantian nodded, “Yes, when I first entered the game, the Shentian Guild was the top guild. Their ranking isn’t purely based on the number of members or floors but involves complex calculations of achievements. This includes player floors, pass grades, individual performance points, the number and level of owned item cards, etc.”
“Although the difference between the Shentian Guild and the second-place guild is only one rank, there is an insurmountable gap.”
Bai Lixin was slightly surprised, “So, when you entered the game, the Shentian Guild already had such high achievements?”
Song Yuantian confirmed with a “Hmm” and turned to Hongyue, “Isn’t that right, Sister?”
Hongyue nodded, “Yes, at that time, we were naïve and regarded the Shentian Guild as gods. Later, when we realized they were indifferent after reaching a high position, we also looked down on them. In short, we looked down on each other. Or more precisely, they didn’t see us from the beginning.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
If the Shentian Guild already had such high ranks when they entered the game, it meant their floors were already high.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Lixin suddenly understood something.
He probably knew the reason the Shentian Guild rarely came out now.
Perhaps, they also knew the consequences of entering the 900th floor, but with their ranking mostly around 800+, the next copy might easily surpass the 900th floor. So, almost everyone chose to stagnate.
Thinking of this, Bai Lixin suddenly chuckled.
Zhou Guang: “Why are you laughing, God Xin?”
Bai Lixin: “I think the Shentian Guild might not be as formidable and terrifying as the legends say. They are probably just paper tigers.”
Everyone looked at each other, confused about what Bai Lixin meant.
“Ahem,” Bai Lixin continued, “Right now, everyone has their own challenges. If Sun Ning doesn’t seek our help, it means she can handle it. But for you all, now that I’ve killed a player from the Shentian Guild in the copy, we’ve become permanent enemies. They might not be able to harm me directly, but they could potentially harm those around me. So, you all must be careful.”
Zhou Guang and others nodded, “We know, no need to worry about us. We’re not the clueless little losers from before.”
Bai Lixin smiled happily, stood up, and said, “It’s getting late. I just returned from the copy and am a bit tired. I’ll go rest, you all should rest early too.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Lixin left the conference room.
The moment the conference room door closed, Bai Lixin heard Xia Chi’s voice from inside.
“I get it! Brother is not tired from completing the copy, he’s tired from being tossed by the big boss! Hmph, my analysis is definitely correct. I am determined to be the next Sherlock Holmes.”
Bai Lixin stumbled.
‘Tan Yue, manage your brother Xia Chi!!!’
——————————
When Bai Lixin returned to his room, the sky outside the window was already dark.
He slowly walked to the study, turned on the computer, and began browsing the forum.
The countdown on the Nationwide Battle event interface was down to ten days, with nine tokens still unfound.
The prize pool offered a variety of rewards.
Bai Lixin casually browsed the forum posts, which were mostly players criticizing each other; there was nothing interesting.
Just as he was about to close the posts and go to sleep, he caught sight of a small section.
He hadn’t noticed this section before, so it was probably created by a player recently.
The section was named “You’re in Xin,” and seeing the “Xin,” he guessed it might be related to him. With a slight movement of the mouse, he clicked on it.
At that moment, he opened the gate to a new world.
[“Come In Quickly, I Want More!”]
[“Another Fight For Three Days And Nights!”]
[“How Can Three Days And Nights Be Enough?”]
[“My Blissful Diary with the Old Gong.”]
[“Let’s Put All The Characters From The Copies Together!”]
Bai Lixin: “???”
What’s going on here!
Even without opening them, he could guess the content just from the titles!
‘I just want to ask, what are you all up to?!
So, “You’re in Xin” is all about this?
Are you telling me you’ve created a small adult content forum?!
Fuck! Save me, my eyes are going blind.’
He swore to make everyone lose their memory after rescuing them from this trash game! Completely forget!!!
‘I’m a Lord God, do I not care about face?’
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
“Have you been entering copies recently?”
Bai Lixin looked at everyone and asked.
Zhou Guang: “I haven’t, and Xia Chi hasn’t either. Li Cancan and Liang Xi went into a copy once each, one for five days and the other for seven days, both before you returned.”
