Chapter 166 - 166: Clearing the Level
Zhang Wanshan’s heart turned cold as he saw this woman starting her live stream at this moment. If it were not for Petite Delicate joining the Mad Dragon Guild, how could her popularity possibly surpass his? Arrogant woman, daring to publicly mock him!
Regardless of what her other fans might think, the online drama was not yet over. Petite Delicate took the opportunity to use her camera to film the spacious conference room of the Mad Dragon Guild.
On a wall to the left of the conference room, golden lights were constantly flickering. They represented all the honors the Mad Dragon Guild had achieved, including their current ranking on the guild leader board. Proudly, Petite Delicate led her viewers on a tour.
“See for yourselves. Even if you want to criticize the Mad Dragon Guild, you should consider whether you’re worthy. All these honors were obtained under the leadership of our guild master.”
As the fans observed, they could not help but sigh in admiration. It was undeniable that Star Rebel was highly talented in this field. However, some people immediately began to refute and question in the comments section.
“What does it matter if they have skills? They only used ordinary players as cannon fodder.”
Little did they expect that when Petite Delicate saw this comment, she remained unfazed. “Wait until the guild master clears the level, then you’ll know. The Mad Dragon Guild has faced criticism from you haters, so consider this a chance for you to accumulate some virtue.”
Just as another argument seemed about to erupt, a system announcement suddenly refreshed the content, leaving everyone in shock.
[Congratulations to the Mad Dragon Guild for successfully clearing the Deathly Tower! They become the first guild to clear this challenging level and will receive a mysterious grand prize package!]
Now, all internet users were in a state of unrest, and Petite Delicate’s live stream exploded with excitement.
“Oh my God, is this for real? The Mad Dragon Guild actually cleared the Deathly Tower?!”
“No way, this is so unbelievable! I’ve seen videos of the Deathly Tower online. How could anyone pass it? Just the second level alone, with all those grenades, is impossible to overcome!”
“I can’t believe it! The Mad Dragon Guild had a total of only thirty participants, and not a single one was eliminated. It’s so fake!”
“Brothers, those who went in together, quickly tell us how you made it through?”
When Zhang Wanshan saw this message, he was completely dumbfounded. How could this be possible? His task for today was to stir up trouble and tarnish the Mad Dragon Guild’s reputation, but now they had cleared the level before he could even start.
The most frustrating were those random players who were threatened to quit at the second level. They were now regretting their decisions. If they had known that the Mad Dragon Guild could really clear the level, they would never have confronted Star Rebel.
If they had managed to clear the level together with the Mad Dragon Guild, their dungeon records would have increased by one, and they could have shared some rewards.
Many haters wished they could go back a few hours and give themselves a hard slap.
The official forum was also in complete chaos. After all, this was the Deathly Tower! Who could have imagined that there would be players capable of passing it? It was simply unbelievable.
“How did Star Rebel manage to pass? I’m really curious. Our guild’s top player can’t even get through.”
“Can we invite him to our guild for some coaching? The price is negotiable.”
“Have you ever considered that Star Rebel doesn’t need your measly money? I think Mad Dragon Guild is about to challenge those dungeon records again.”
“Damn, if they do that, our small guild will have no chance at all.”
Han Xing and the others had just completed the final level and let out a sigh of relief. Celestial Worthy of Mechanical was exhausted to the point that he could hardly lift his hands.
The last level was incredibly difficult. They almost got wiped out even with bug-level skills and the assistance of Six-Star Sparkle.
“You did well this time. When we get back to the guild, just ask North Star if you need anything.” Han Xing patted Celestial Worthy of Mechanical’s body. The final level of the Deathly Tower was like a massive bombing range, with myriads of projectiles everywhere.
As soon as they entered, if it were not for Wind Flower Snow Moon’s quick reflexes, they would have been blown to pieces. The thought of that perilous moment still gave North Star some lingering fear.
White Jade Snow Orchid was also exhausted. The final level had drained her of a lot of energy.
“Guild Master, I’ll log off and rest for now,” she said.
Han Xing nodded and looked at the other players. Seeing the exhaustion on their faces, he said, “Everyone, take a rest today! You all did great.”
When Han Xing returned to the guild, only a few scattered guild members were present. Petite Delicate was currently live streaming. She hurriedly greeted him when she saw him approaching. “Guild Master, I’m live streaming here.”
Han Xing’s expression remained unchanged, but Petite Delicate approached him. “Guild Master, 1 noticed that many people are criticizing us online, saying that we intentionally used these players as stepping stones.”
Han Xing unexpectedly nodded. “That’s not entirely wrong. So, next time, don’t fall for it.”
His straightforward response left the people who were trying to vilify Mad Dragon Guild online feeling frustrated. They thought Star Rebel would never admit to such a thing. As long as he did not acknowledge it, they could make a big fuss about it.
Who knew he would be so candid? He directly admitted it, rendering their criticism meaningless. After all, that was how the game was played, and other guilds have done it too.
Zhang Wanshan was even more infuriated. With Star Rebel’s appearance, public opinion quickly shifted. Seeing many players and spectators coming to denounce him, he decided not to continue the live stream and promptly logged off.
Falling Leaf never expected Han Xing to act so quickly. Even if they did not like the Mad Dragon Guild, Falling Leaf had to admit that they were genuinely curious about how Star Rebel managed to accomplish it.
They had previously led guild members to challenge the second level of the Deathly Tower but could not get past it. No matter what method they tried, they could not avoid the swarm of snakes underground and the grenades in the sky.
Sun Heng was furious. The Mad Dragon Guild kept stealing the limelight over and over again. Thinking back to the conflict between the two guilds, many people increasingly saw the King’s Guild as a joke. At this point, what did they have to compete with Star Rebel?
Liu Feng did not expect Star Rebel to clear the level. He immediately contacted Luyao, who was in the Mad Dragon Guild.
“Do you know how Star Rebel cleared it?”
Luyao was in the middle of brewing tea for Han Xing when she saw this message. She casually replied.
“I heard from other guild members that they used ordinary players as meat shields, while they passed through..”
