The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

Chapter 48 Find me a knife!

Many people followed, but they were far behind Lord Grim. Clearly, they hadn't managed to distribute their stamina properly during the chase, resulting in insufficient stamina to keep up.

Just as their stamina bar was at its lowest point and began to recover, Lu Chen led Baozi and the others down the slope.

It was a very easy battle, at least for Lu Chen and Ye Xiu. Baozi and Tang Rou experienced a close and evenly matched fight and had a great time.

"If this is the standard, then it's perfectly normal for you to refuse him, Brother Ye." Lu Chen glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and sighed.

Ye Xiu didn't respond. A sound that sounded like a sigh, or simply exhaling smoke, came from the other end.

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, but glanced at the players in the distance who seemed to be watching: "Were those the ones who chased after us too?"

"There are a few familiar faces; they must be from various guilds," Ye Xiu said with a chuckle as he turned his head to look.

"Hmm, are you afraid we'll take the copy records?" Lu Chen asked suspiciously.

"That's why. By the way, Xiao Lu, why don't you go on a dungeon run with Yue Zhongmian and Tian Qi later?" Ye Xiu said.

"Hmm? That's possible, but there don't seem to be enough seats?"

"Okay, I'll take Baozi and Xiao Tang with me to help people improve their records." Ye Xiu smiled.

"Um, wouldn't it be better if I came along too?" Lu Chen was taken aback. "Or do you mean, I—"

"No need, no need. This dungeon record is just a trial run." Ye Xiu sighed. "Gathering materials this way is too slow, and they're all starting to only act when they see results, so there's not much competition. This business is probably going to fall apart soon."

[Rejection detected, host rewarded with increased typing speed!]

"So what do you mean?" Lu Chen's lips curled up subtly.

[Tsk, this guy doesn't want to put in the effort to build roads, he's planning to just set up toll booths instead.] Su Muqiu sneered: [He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!]

"Tollbooth? What kind of description is that?" Lu Chen was somewhat bewildered.

"I plan to research strategies and tactics, and then sell one copy to each store. I won't be exclusive; I'll focus on large quantities to satisfy everyone."

Ye Xiu patiently explained, "Besides, it's not a long-term solution to always use your own account to do dungeon runs. What the major guilds really want is a dungeon record to promote their guild, but the current situation is—we don't have the means to use random accounts to do dungeon runs."

Lu Chen was taken aback: "So—"

"Well, so I found a guild that isn't a club guild to fan the flames a bit, to make the incident escalate a bit, and to make most players realize the importance of working for others." Ye Xiu smiled. "By then, no one should be willing to risk being ridiculed by everyone to work for us anymore."

"So, we'll make a strategy guide and let them figure it out themselves?" Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. "Then, the guilds that don't buy the guide will fall behind?"

"That's right." Ye Xiu also laughed. "This way, some potential problems are completely eliminated, a win-win situation."

"We'll take all the materials, and we don't even need to worry about level restrictions to help with dungeons. We'll win twice!" Lu Chen said with a cheerful laugh.

"Cough cough, they can win too—"

"Did this idea first come to you when you were buried there?"

"Well, sort of. After all, there's room for improvement in the usual strategies for Burial Grounds. Other dungeons should also have similar aspects that can be improved." Ye Xiu stretched: "Alright, I'm going to work now. You can practice by yourself tonight. Oh, and you'd better check out the materials for that thing—cough cough—and send them to me. It's almost time, so give them a surprise."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thanks!"

"You're welcome." Ye Xiu stood up, stretched his body, and happily took the mouse and keyboard that Chen Guo had given him off, then carried them to the front desk to change shifts.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and decided not to rush to level up. Since Brother Ye was making a fortune, it wouldn't hurt to hitch a ride on his coattails!

He opened the Silver Weapon Editor panel and started typing away.

After midnight, not long after, a message appeared on the world chat saying that Lord Grim, along with Wind Smoke, Cold Mist, Baozi Invasion, and an unfamiliar ID, had taken down the dungeon record.

It bears the name of the Moon Wheel Guild.

Is this the guild that Brother Ye mentioned before?

Lu Chen glanced at it and watched the situation unfold with great interest.

Just as Ye Xiu had predicted, the members of the Moon Wheel Guild started chatting in the world channel, just like they were chatting in the guild channel, acting extremely arrogantly.

Such behavior was bound to be disapproved of by some, and before long, the members of the Moon Wheel Guild had turned their attention to other major guilds.

The world channel suddenly became lively.

Just then, Ye Du Han Tan quietly sent a message: [Brother Yao Yue, Jun Mo Xiao didn't take you with him on this dungeon run?]

Lu Chen paused slightly: "Yes, that's right."

Night Crossing the Cold Pool: [Tsk, this is too much! Brother Yaoyue helped us snag those dungeons before!]

Several angry emojis followed.

Lu Chen found it somewhat amusing. He seemed to have figured out what Ye Du Han Tan meant; he was here to sow discord.

Night Crossing the Cold Pool: [Besides, it's not a big deal if they don't take our orders. We don't really need fame, but look at how arrogant the Moon Wheel Guild is!]

Raising a glass to the moon: [That's a bit arrogant, but it's just a game, so showing off a little isn't a big deal.]

Night Crossing the Cold Pool: [Lord Grim has really messed up this time. I doubt anyone will ask him to break dungeon records anymore. What are your plans, Brother Inviting Moon? How about joining our Overlord's Ambition?]

"Tsk tsk tsk, the intrigue and backstabbing in this online game is truly fascinating." Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message sent by Ye Du Han Tan.

"What's the big deal? Back then, there were spies who spent three years infiltrating, rose to high positions, and then raided someone's warehouse. These are minor incidents. Which guild doesn't have spies planted by other guilds?" Su Muqiu said cheerfully. "Intelligence warfare, guerrilla warfare, attacking east while striking west, attacking Wei to rescue Zhao—they're masters of the old military strategies—" Su Muqiu chuckled.

This can be considered a kind of fun!

"Well, speaking of which—"

Xiao Chen, do you know where the knife is?

"Huh? What is that?" Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Su Muqiu beside him.

A chill seemed to emanate from Su Muqiu, his eyes fixed intently on the bar: [I have to kill that bastard—]

"Hmm? Liu Hao and his gang are causing trouble again?" Lu Chen frowned, stood up, and looked towards the bar.

That doesn't seem to be Liu Hao? Who is that person?
