After reprimanding Invincible, World’s Best proceeded to lecture the other senior executives who had cooperated with Invincible and hid the matter from him. He then closed the guild channel.
World’s Best remained standing and took a deep breath before speaking to the person beside him. “Let’s go. We’ll complete the mission first and talk about the other matters later.”
At this moment, a total of four players were behind World’s Best. Including World’s Best, all of them were Level 25 players. There was no difference between them and the mainstream players.
Most importantly, the five players’ equipment was far better than that of an average mainstream player.
Among the five of them, World’s Best was wearing a light armor that glowed with purple light, just like his longsword. World’s Best was clearly wearing a Purple Outfit as well. However, he didn’t have an Orange weapon, unlike Liu Ming.
If not for the presence of Liu Ming—who was just like a monster—World’s Best was definitely worthy of having such a name in the game based on his equipment alone.
After all, the main guilds’ players only managed to kill a limited number of Boss-level monsters—even if they put in all their effort into doing so—before the new main cities had opened. This was because a limited number of Boss-level monsters appeared every day. Thus, the number of Purple Outfits that dropped a day was extremely limited as well.
Most of the Purple Outfits in circulation were Level 15 and Level 20.
As a result, the major guilds’ presidents were now only able to use loose pieces of Purple equipment. Those who were in charge of weaker guilds would still be wearing a few pieces of Blue equipment.
Other than Liu Ming, nobody else had a Level 25 Purple Outfit like World’s Best. Of course, Liu Ming was already wearing a Level 30 Purple Outfit.
Besides that, the four players behind World’s Best were basically wearing mixed Purple equipment.
When World’s Best and company were busy completing the hidden quest, their levels had obviously not decreased. They had even obtained plenty of good equipment.
This was the reason why World’s Best had the confidence and guts to continue provoking Liu Ming. After all, although there was a difference between a Level 25 Purple Outfit and a Level-30 Purple Outfit, the two were not worlds apart.
…
A few hours later, World’s Best held onto a Skill Crystal that glowed with a purple light. With a proud smile, he said, “I managed to learn a Core Skill at Level 20. I didn’t stay in this hellhole for half a month for no reason. Floating Cloud, let me use your failure to prove that those who try to suppress others because of their good equipment are actually nothing compared to players who have real skill.”
The Purple Skill Crystal clearly made World’s Best feel like he was going to win for sure. However, World’s Best probably would not think that way if he knew that Liu Ming currently wasn’t using Imperial Military Swordsmanship—a Green Core Skill players learned after their second promotion—but an Orange Core Skill.
However, even Liu Ming himself did not expect his first Orange Skill to be the most important and rarest skill type—a Core Skill.
…
At this moment, Liu Ming still did not know that World’s Best had already targeted him.
Shortly after leaving the Guild of Professions, Liu Ming received a private message from Flying Above Grass.
[Flying Above Grass: Boss Floating Cloud, are you free? We can’t clear a hidden dungeon, so we need your help. We can discuss the price.]
[Floating Cloud: If it’s not too difficult a dungeon, I’ll charge you a lower price this time. I just want 20% of the gains from the dungeon. After all, the three of you have given me plenty of help lately.]
[Flying Above Grass: Thank you, Boss. We’re now on a small hill south of the main city.]
…
When Liu Ming arrived near the small hill, he discovered that the Lightness Skill Trio was not the only people there.
Other than the Lightness Skill Trio, there was a group of players who had World Guild’s logo beside their in-game names.
The World Guild player, who took the lead, threatened the Lightness Skill Trio in an unfriendly manner. “What did the three of you say just now? Repeat yourself if you have the guts to.”
Without hesitation, Flying Above Grass said, “The World Guild is seriously just a bunch of trash. Your president, World’s Best, is just a timid man.”
At this moment, Floating On Water and Vertical Cloud Ladder also had unapologetic looks on their faces, not caring about the fact that they were outnumbered by the players of World Guild at all.
After hearing Flying Above Grass’s words, the leader and players from World Guild instantly had furious expressions on their faces.
The World Guild player, who was the leader, hollered in exasperation. “Kill those three guys!”
As that player finished speaking, the World Guild players quickly attacked Flying Above Grass and his two friends.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ming frowned slightly and soon charged forwards while riding the Purgatory Nightmare.
Fortunately, Flying Above Grass and the other two were somewhat considered his underlings. He also still had a grudge against World Guild. Thus, how could Liu Ming allow a few World Guild members to bully his underlings?
The World Guild players’ attention was fixed on the trio. They did not notice Liu Ming’s presence at all.
They only discovered Liu Ming’s presence when Liu Ming stabbed one of the players with his sword, sending the latter back to the revival point.
Upon seeing Liu Ming, most of the ordinary World Guild players turned pale in shock.
“Floa-Floating… Floating Cloud…”
“Big Shot, why are you here!?”
…
Some of the players were so shocked they began spluttering and stammering.
However, the player in charge of the group was still as arrogant as ever. “Floating Cloud, our president is returning soon. Once our president is back, it will be over for you. I suggest you let us off. Otherwise, our president will definitely kill you repeatedly and make you drop to Level 1 when the time comes.”
After hearing that, Liu Ming could not be bothered to say anything else to the arrogant player. Liu Ming instantly stabbed him, sending him back to the revival point.
After this, Liu Ming spoke to the remaining players. “Relay my message to your president. Tell him to leave Lotter City with his people as soon as possible, or I’ll kill him whenever I see him.”
Initially, Liu Ming did not care about World Guild. He also didn’t do anything to them unless they provoked him. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, Liu Ming understood that World Guild was filled with idiots. If he did not kill them directly, they would occasionally disgust him like a bunch of flies.
As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, a group of players from World Guild immediately made the other players flee. Soon, they had all disappeared.
There was no point in killing those insignificant figures, and it would increase his sins. Hence, he might as well make them leave on their own.
After the World Guild players disappeared completely, Flying Above Grass scurried towards Liu Ming sheepishly and smilingly said, “Impressive! Boss Floating Cloud, those players from World Guild are like cowards when they see you.”
Liu Ming simply indifferently said, “Tell me, how did you provoke those guys?”
