Xiao Jie agreed to help if problems arise, not just out of impulsiveness.
After all, the existence of Pantheon is also a threat to him, while Dragon Soaring is his strongest ally at the moment. If he encounters trouble, Xiao Jie believes he will inevitably pull Dragon Soaring in for help. Since that is the case, if Dragon Soaring clashes with Pantheon, he has every reason to lend a helping hand both emotionally and logically.
But he didn’t speak in absolutes, he left some room for maneuver, after all, he had his own matters to attend to.
When he returned to the hotel, the others were already waiting for him in the lounge.
"How did it go, Feng? What did the guild leader want from you? Are they asking you to relinquish your power?" As soon as Xiao Jie entered the lounge, Bai Ze stood up and asked.
Xiao Jie glanced around, everyone had a probing expression on their face. Xiao Jie wasn’t surprised, they were all from the same guild. Those from the Second Team in Qiansong Town would definitely talk about losing the city in the group chat, and the Second Team members would surely know by now.
Nobody was foolish, everyone could roughly predict how things would unfold.
Xiao Jie nodded, "Yes, and I’ve already agreed to the guild leader, handed Luoyang Town over to the First Team for management. I won’t be responsible for development anymore."
"Damn, these guys are just tearing down the bridge after crossing the river," Dida La immediately got angry.
"Exactly, Feng, you led us to capture that territory with such hard work, why should it be handed over to them? We weren’t the ones who lost the city." Jiu Jianxian also said indignantly.
Xiao Jie felt somewhat helpless, he was quite open-minded about it himself, but he hadn’t expected his teammates to be so agitated.
"We can’t say it like that, after all, Long Xingtianxia is the guild leader, Dragon Soaring’s territory was built up by him, we were just borrowing the chicken to lay eggs."
Hao Mie was more pragmatic, "Brother Sui Feng, the guild leader wouldn’t just want to take back power without any compensation, right?"
Xiao Jie shook his head, "Haha, of course not, we’ve already negotiated. Next, everyone’s advanced job change will receive full Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
You’ll still receive the main team’s treatment."
Xia Yi the Unrivaled shook his head, "Forget it, those useless guys can barely fight, most of the time they act as cheerleaders. During large team fights, we do most of the heavy lifting, we might as well play on our own."
He was always disdainful of the guild model.
An Ran also said: "Exactly, with our lineup, we don’t need those useless players getting in the way to farm Bosses."
Xiao Jie thought to himself, that’s not quite right, ordinary players can at least help with output.
For instance, his Absolute Killing Battle Technique, without enough players to help with output, it would be almost impossible to one-shot the Boss.
But it was true that most of the Second Team’s players were slackers, very few were willing to put in the effort.
Of course, there were still experts, like Strawberry Coke, and those Generals...
Additionally, with a large number of people, one could tackle some particularly high-level Bosses, wearing them down with sheer output, and the drops from these are incomparable to those from normal small Bosses.
Overall, there were both advantages and disadvantages.
In any case, Xiao Jie was not planning to lead the team anymore, there were too many trivial matters, and he always had to consider the guild’s plans, it was too restrictive.
He still had his own game goals to achieve.
Conquering cities, expanding territories was indeed interesting and could yield immense benefits, but Xiao Jie didn’t play games for profit.
Hence, he was very Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
After comforting everyone for a while,
Xiao Jie directly said: "Let’s gather again tonight, and have a good chat about the upcoming exploration routes. Tomorrow, we’ll go our separate ways. Take care everyone, when I come back, I will guide you all to discover the true ’core gameplay’ of this game."
As soon as ’core gameplay’ was mentioned, everyone suddenly became energized, expanding territories and vying for power were no match for Immortal and God.
"Xiao Jie, do you already have a plan?"
"That’s right, let me explain in detail..."
Xiao Jie lowered his voice, and everyone leaned in, listening to Xiao Jie’s plan, their eyes lit with excitement.
The next day, as the player conference successfully concluded, most players left one after another.
Xiao Jie bid farewell to everyone, and met with Long Xingtianxia and the others one last time before he prepared to leave.
He and An Ran were both from Jiangbei City, he initially thought they could travel together, but An Ran unexpectedly turned down his invitation.
"I plan to fly back."
"Ah!" Xiao Jie was taken aback, "You’ve mastered Snowy Owl Transformation?"
In reality, using Transformation Art carries a risk of getting lost.
"I have mastered it long ago. Snowy Owl is completely different from Spider Demons. I can handle it mentally, besides, do you think I could resist the temptation to try flying?"
True... if Xiao Jie had this flying ability, he would definitely be unable to resist trying it.
After saying goodbye to An Ran, Xiao Jie boarded the train back to Jiangbei City with Gu Feiyu.
It was clear Gu Feiyu was extremely curious about this game, especially after witnessing a major battle firsthand, he had a series of questions.
Xiao Jie didn’t hold back, on the way he roughly narrated his previous game experiences to Gu Feiyu, and taught him a lot of game knowledge.
Gu Feiyu listened while jotting everything down in his small notebook.
