MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 450 - : 450

Chapter 450: 450

The battle situation at the entrance of the dungeon was chaotic, beginning with a few insignificant groups who tried to stop the Starfire Guild.

However, they did not realize that it would take a few more days for Starfire Guild to join the development of the new zone.

As a result, a personal grudge held by one player ignited a violent explosion, as if a powder keg had been set off.

To guard the corpses of killed players, with thousands of gamers gathered to protect five bodies, had infuriated these five players utterly.

It subsequently attracted studios that were hired to fight for others, leading to continuous battles.

In such a chaotic scene, friendly fire incidents increased and more and more players were drawn in until the situation spiraled out of control.

Then, several top-tier but not the most elite guilds secretly conspired together, taking everyone in. On the surface, they were resolving the disputes at the entrance of the dungeon; in reality, they were escorting their core team members into the dungeon.

Furthermore, they continued to instigate chaos, creating an even more disordered and uncontrollable scene.

Their plan succeeded, and they fooled everyone for two full days before they were discovered and exposed.

The team Li Yao led consisted of five hundred would-be pioneers spread across ten squads – not all squads were going to challenge the most difficult level.

The remaining players were either occupied with other things, or showed little interest in exploring the new expansion.

Many gamers enjoy adventure, exploration, and completing tasks. Unlike other guilds, Starfire Guild strongly encouraged those players, offering rewards for their efforts.

For example, during an official pet competition held a few days ago, many members of Starfire Guild participated and achieved good results.

More than five players from the guild, including Cute Pupil, made it into the top fifty of the pet competition and were rewarded with generous guild points.

Having been given a second chance at life, Li Yao knew the seemingly irrelevant things would play a critical role in certain situations.

Many guilds had suffered greatly due to this in the past.

For instance, there was a world mission with generous rewards that specifically required higher-ranked Pet Masters.

Every guild went to great lengths to find such Pet Masters – only a small number of them managed to complete the mission at a significant cost. The majority failed to complete the mission and missed out on the generous reward.

Many players felt extreme regret. That was because many who play with pets were looked down upon by combat players as time-wasters and treated poorly, leading to this outcome.

It’s not only about pets; there were many examples in other areas, too. Therefore, Li Yao encouraged combat personnel to engage in some other variety of fun activities so as not to be caught off guard in the future.

From a distance, Li Yao saw the campfires and tents populated by numerous guilds in the valley of the dungeon. Most were guild players that wanted to pioneer the dungeon, as well as some idling high-level gamers.

It was a place brimming with top players. The elite players from major guilds had all gathered here, forming a massive crowd.

“It’s magnificent, feels like we’ve marched into a military camp.” Cute Pupil said excitedly.

“Obviously so. The top ten guilds in China as well as other first-tier guilds, top guilds from other regions, and high-level players have all gathered here. It would be strange if it wasn’t bustling.” Sister Li explained.

“When the ten-level dungeon was launched, everyone was busy with the carnival, or they were in the dungeon. Only now can you see how many players are involved in pioneering.” Just like a curious baby, Cute Pupil was noting down each guild’s emblem as they walked along.

It was already dark. The bonfires lit up the surroundings, with some guilds even hosting bonfire parties, singing and dancing. African groups were particularly enthusiastic and boisterous.

A group of several hundred didn’t draw much attention, but there were always people who recognized Starfire Guild.

Soon enough, a female Priest player approached Li Yao.

The members of Starfire Guild were not guarded against this character class, as they couldn’t instantly kill their enemies, so they let her come near Li Yao.

“Chairman Liaoyuan, I’m glad you’ve finally arrived.”

Li Yao asked with surprise, “Do we know each other?”

The female Priest laughed and said, “Chairman Liaoyuan, you are hailed as the King of Hunters, and you defeated Illusion God. How could any player not recognize the King of Hunters?”

Being addressed so courteously, Li Yao responded equally politely, “Seeing your emblem, you should be from the Brilliant Guild. What can I do for you?”

The Priest said, “Not me, actually. It’s the head executives of the top-tier guilds who have gathered here. We would like to invite Chairman Liaoyuan to join us and discuss how to deal with those low-class guilds.”

Of course, the Priest referred to those guilds that had practically fooled everyone else while they had been developing the new zone for a long time.

“My small guild doesn’t need to participate in this,” Li Yao smiled.

“King of Hunters, you’re being too modest. Even without mentioning the numerous experts in Starfire Guild, just you alone are more than competent to participate in these significant discussions. If you’re not involved, it would certainly dim the mood.” The female Priest knew how to flatter, pushing Li Yao onto a pedestal.

“If you put it that way, it would be ungracious of me not to go. Let me take a look then.” Li Yao turned and said, “You guys find a place to rest for now. I’m not sure how long the discussion will last. Sister Li, accompany me.”

“Please, King of Hunters.” The female Priest beckoned with a smile.

Li Yao nodded and followed her. He had nothing in particular to say to members of the Brilliant Guild, and the female Priest who had invited him didn’t fancy chatting as she led the way in silence.

Actually, it didn’t surprise Li Yao. Despite the lower level of Starfire Guild, his prowess and the strength of the Veteran Group made them a primary candidate.

Now they needed to exert efforts against those low-class guilds, they surely wouldn’t forget about Starfire. How could they watch Starfire benefit without doing anything?

Li Yao was led by the Priest onto a hillside. Here there was a massive tent, from which bustling noises could be heard even from a distance.

Apparently, the guild leaders’ meeting was not at all harmonious.

“The chairman of Starfire Guild, Hunter King Liaoyuan, has arrived. Let’s pause for a moment, fellow chairmen.” The female Priest announced.

Suddenly, the formerly bustling tent fell silent.

All eyes were on Li Yao. There were indeed many people here. It was a sea of faces, among which Li Yao saw many familiar ones.

“Chairman Liaoyuan, over here. I saved a seat for you.” Ocean and Sky stood and waved.

Li Yao nodded and said, “I’m just the chairman of a small guild. Compared to your guilds, the number of people in my guild and their strength are inferior. So, this time I will just listen. I’ll abstain from participating.”…
