Liu Yao and Su Jinyan both extended their guild invitations to Zhang Yue at the same time.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Su Jinyan shot a sharp glance at Liu Yao, her brows slightly furrowing. "I was the first to speak. Why are you trying to steal my thunder?"
"What do you mean first to speak? Didn't we both say it at the same time?" Liu Yao shot back, refusing to back down.
Su Jinyan turned to Zhang Yue and said, "Zhang Yue, come join my guild. The salary is yours to name."
"And with Chen Jun gone now, no one will dare to make trouble for you anymore."
Liu Yao chimed in confidently, "Bro, come to Supreme Guild. I'll give you one million a month—no, ten million. Actually, forget it. You can take whatever you want. I'll give you the keys to my treasury."
"And every night, I'll find a pretty, sexy girl to serve you. I guarantee there'll be no repeats. You want a mature beauty? A cute loli? Black stockings or a uniform? You name it."
Su Jinyan pointed angrily at Liu Yao, her face flushing with rage. "You... you're going to find him women? You're disgusting. You have no shame."
Liu Yao's face turned bright red. "What do you mean no shame? It's just a normal biological need for men, isn't it? Tell me, if my bro joins your Misty Rain Pavilion, can you satisfy his needs?"
Without even thinking, and clearly not processing what Liu Yao had said, Su Jinyan blurted out, "I can!"
As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone from both guilds turned their eyes to Su Jinyan.
Only then did she realize what she had just said. Her face instantly turned beet red.
At that moment, Zhang Yue stepped in, "Alright, that's enough from both of you."
"For now, I don't plan on joining any guild. Let's just leave it at that."
After speaking, Zhang Yue, along with his Skeleton King and Skeleton Warriors, resumed his dragon-slaying quest.
Left behind, Liu Yao and Su Jinyan shot each other annoyed looks before huffing and leading their respective groups to hunt dragons and complete their quests.
Since they were all on the same map, Liu Yao and Su Jinyan were both thinking of teaming up with Zhang Yue for the mission.
But soon, they realized something was off...
"Wait, what the hell? Is my bro half-asleep? Why is he killing Light Dragons?"
"Yeah, the quest says we're supposed to kill Black Dragons, not Light Dragons."
Su Jinyan paused and glared at Liu Yao, "Who told you to talk to me?"
"Who's talking to you? I'm just talking to myself. Can't I do that?" Liu Yao shot back. "Why are you so weird?"
"Let me tell you something—guys don't like girls who are too fierce. My bro definitely won't like girls like you."
Su Jinyan, seething with anger, raised her staff and pointed it directly at Liu Yao's face. "Say that again!"
As the bickering continued, Su Jinyan and Liu Yao started to notice even more strange things.
They realized that not only was Zhang Yue exclusively hunting Light Dragons, but after completing his quest, he was heading in the opposite direction, not returning to the Light Hall.
Even the members of the War God Guild noticed this odd behavior.
"Is that guy crazy? He's been killing Light Dragons all morning, and now he's walking in the opposite direction from the Light Hall. What does he think, the Earth is round and walking backward will get him there?"
A comment from one of his subordinates caught Wudi's attention.
During lunch, while offline, Wu Di took the opportunity to search online for some tips.
Suddenly, he stumbled upon something unexpected—a hidden opportunity in the Fourth World.
It turned out that during the quest Rising Defiance, there was a small chance to trigger a hidden mission near the Dark Mountains.
Completing this hidden mission would ultimately lead to an encounter with three Level 35 lord-level Black Dragons. These dragons would offer players an invitation—to abandon the Light Faction and join the Dark Clan.
Historically, many players had triggered this opportunity, but in the end, none of them had ever agreed to join the Dark Clan.
Since no one had blazed the trail, the common belief was that joining the Dark Clan was a dead end.
As he read through the guide, Wu Di murmured to himself, "Could it be that this guy triggered the hidden mission and joined the Dark Clan?"
Recalling how the three lord-level Black Dragons had aided Zhang Yue, Wu Di became even more convinced of his theory.
"If that's the case, then I think I've found a way to deal with him without losing a single soldier. Heh heh..."
Meanwhile...
After logging off for lunch, Zhang Yue quickly returned to the game.
Once again, he met with Goya, accepted a new mission, and continued his routine of dragon-slaying and leveling up.
With the Global Professional Tournament just around the corner, the entire world was preparing for this massive competition.
Zhang Yue was no exception.
With his current strength, he was practically invincible in Linhai City. He could easily dominate the city's qualifier rounds.
Even compared to neighboring Ganyang City, he was more than capable of winning.
After all, War God Heaven's Wrath, the president of the War God Guild and a rare-tier Lightning Mage, was regarded as the top player in Ganyang City.
Zhang Yue could easily crush him.
It was safe to say that within Zhejiang Province, Zhang Yue ruled supreme.
But Zhejiang was just one of the many provinces in Dragon Nation, where the overall level of professionals and guilds was somewhat limited.
In top-tier cities like Beidu, Tianjing, and Longcheng, new elite professionals emerged every year.
Backed by powerful family influences and enormous resources, they were always able to grow faster than the average person.
When the time came, these top-tier players would gather, creating a sea of experts.
With that in mind, Zhang Yue knew that if he wanted to rise above the city qualifiers, provincial battles, and eventually the national competition, and move on to the World Championships to face off against the strongest players from other countries, he would need to work even harder to boost his level and power.
"My current strength is still far from enough." Zhang Yue critically assessed his own combat abilities.
After completing a seven-series quest that afternoon, Zhang Yue logged back in after dinner and completed another five-series quest.
It wasn't until 10 PM that he finally logged off to rest.
Late that night...
Darkness cloaked the Fourth World, and all was silent.
In the Light Hall, only a handful of dedicated professionals were burning the midnight oil, continuing their development.
At that moment...
Whoosh!
A flash of white light descended, and a petite, delicate-looking Level 24 Priestess appeared in the Light Hall, dressed in a white robe.
"Wow! I've finally made it to the Fourth World."
Ning Tiantian stretched lazily, feeling both comfortable and content. It was as if the very air of the Fourth World smelled sweeter.
But then, she seemed to recall something, and her lips pouted in distress. "Ugh... I can't believe I had to pay that studio 300 bucks to beat the Third World boss for me. Now I've only got a little over 100 left… How am I supposed to survive like this?"
"Ah well, in just over a week, the Professional Tournament will start. Once Asura helps me get through the city qualifiers, I'll get that sweet 100,000 prize."
"I just have to hold on until then, and I'll strike it rich."
As she was talking to herself, Ning Tiantian suddenly overheard a familiar voice nearby:
"Brother Wu, do we move now?"
"Of course, idiot. Why else would I call you out here? To gaze at the moon?"
"The moon? Really?"
"Gaze at your ass. Shut up!"
Ning Tiantian turned her head to see a group of players with [War God] above their heads walking past her.
When she caught a glimpse of one of their side profiles, her heart jumped, and she instantly recognized him.
"Wu... Wu Di!"
Panicked, Ning Tiantian quickly turned around, tiptoeing away as she muttered under her breath, "You can't see me, you can't see me..."
After waiting for a while and sensing no movement behind her, Ning Tiantian glanced back to find that the War God Guild members had already walked off into the distance. She breathed a sigh of relief, "That scared the life out of me."
What she never expected was to run into her ex-boyfriend from her online relationship, Wu Di, here of all places.
Once the War God Guild members had completely disappeared from sight, Ning Tiantian thought to herself, "I hope I can get some good gear tonight, sell it for a few hundred bucks, and make it through until the Professional Tournament starts."
With that in mind, Ning Tiantian casually approached an NPC in the Light Hall, accepting a random quest.
She then left the hall, heading toward the quest location, planning to find some other professionals to team up with.
At the same time, elsewhere...
Wu Di, along with eight other Level 25 War God Guild members, made their way through the night to a dark and foreboding Dragon Valley.
Deep within the valley, an eerie dragon breath lingered in the air, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who dared approach.
One of the War God Guild members, War God Shadow, a Level 25 Assassin, was visibly nervous. He hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Brother Wu, are we really doing this?"
"If we anger the divine dragon, we're done for."
"Shut the hell up!" Wu Di snapped at him, casting a sharp glance at the team. "Do you want to strike it rich or not? If you do, then keep your mouth shut."
With that, the group of nine ventured deeper into Dragon Valley.
Just then, someone was passing by the valley.
It was none other than Ning Tiantian. She happened to catch a glimpse of Wu Di and his crew sneaking into the Holy Land of the Light Dragons—Dragon Valley.
Startled, she couldn't help but mutter to herself in disbelief, "It's him again, Wu Di."
"What are they up to?"
Curious, Ning Tiantian halted her steps, cautiously hiding hers═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═
