Chapter 85 85: Does He Want to Be the Second in Dragon's Kiss Guild?
[Large District Announcement: Guild Base Battle Concluded!]
A distant bell echoed through the world, signaling the end of the guild base battles. The three major battlefields turned into temporary safe zones, and players from various guilds still engaged in combat were forced to cease their fights with great reluctance.
[Merit List Released!]
"20th place: Slaughter Guild — SlaughterDemon Emperor!"
Kills: 370, Assists: 178, Gained 70 attribute points, 40 skill points, 5 talent points, 20,000 reputation points!"
...
"9th place: Moonlight Guild — Yan Guo Wu Hen!"
Kills: ...
Upon hearing this, Orson raised an eyebrow. The player from Moonlight Guild wasn't Empress, but a warrior player. If he recalled correctly, Yan Guo Wu Hen was an S-tier hidden class. A relatively orthodox sword and shield warrior who had once been a contender for the top warrior in Infinite Dimensions. However, when he underwent his second awakening at level 50, Dragon's Kiss Guild's Skyslasher had taken that title.
"4th place: Dragon's Kiss Guild — Usher!"
When this announcement was made, the players in the world chat fell silent. The so-called "number one god-tier player of Infinite Dimensions," Usher, had only made it to fourth place.
Dragon's Kiss Guild had once held nine bases, but now they were left with only one—the Dragon Breath Fortress, under the protection of the Strategic Trickster.
"That's strange. He only made it to fourth place. Who could possibly be in third? Bradley?" Orson muttered in surprise.
In the past, Dragon's Kiss Guild had dominated the base battles, and it was rare for the top guilds to fight each other in a chaotic manner. Usually, the fierce competition occurred between mid-tier and lower-tier guilds. For a god-tier player to achieve so many kills on his own was quite an unexpected turn of events.
"3rd place: Slaughter Guild — Blank!"
Kills: 1052...
Upon hearing this, Orson nearly spat blood in shock. That woman who had slapped him across the face was now in Slaughter Guild?
"2nd place: Godslayer Guild — Money Traveler!"
...
When Bradley's name appeared on the screen, his guild immediately shouted out:
"I'll ask you this—am I awesome or what?"
Blank heard the provocation and turned her cold gaze toward Madman. It was clear she wasn't going to let this slide, and she was ready for a one-on-one PK.
Orson grabbed Madman's shoulder and whispered bitterly, "You can't beat her... not at the moment, at least."
Madman gave Orson a resentful look. "If it wasn't for your advice, I'd never have picked this stupid class... I swear, I'm going to teach her a lesson."
"Don't, just do as I say. No need to take her on. Stick to being the strategist, alright?" Orson coaxed, giving Madman a forced smile, steering him away.
Blank sneered. "No guts."
Madman was instantly agitated. "I don't know why, but when I see her, I just want to get back at her. I swear I'm going to kill her a few times just to teach her a lesson!"
Orson sighed. "Let's focus on counting our money and getting some rewards. That's the real deal."
Later, the system message came through:
"You've obtained ownership of the following six bases: Bone Dragon, Xuanwu, Black Wolf, Azure, Roshan, and Chaos Demon."
Orson looked at the six new base ownership certificates in his inventory and then turned to Demon Emperor. "Man, you really know how to make a statement—taking ten bases for yourself."
Demon Emperor laughed heartily. "Haha, this is what they call 'fortune favors the bold.' I sold all my company stock for this game."
Slaughter Spree, the guild vice president, snickered at Orson. "This is my big brother's style. Take notes, Orgod."
Demon Emperor was transparent about his ambitions. Joining Orson's temporary alliance wasn't out of genuine loyalty but because he saw an opportunity and seized it.
Orson didn't pay much attention to Slaughter Spree's antics. He narrowed his eyes, focusing on Demon Emperor. "Aren't you worried Usher will come after you?"
"Come after me? In the game or in real life? He may have money, but I have plenty of brothers. If he dares to come to my turf, he'll die." Demon Emperor laughed cruelly.
Slaughter Spree added, "Yeah, let's see if Usher dares to show up in Tianjiang City. See if he makes it out alive."
Orson nodded slightly. "Sounds about right. Demon Emperor isn't someone to mess with. He's got connections in real life too, so you've got to be careful."
After a brief pause, Orson said, "Well, good luck with that. I'm moving on."
Orson didn't want to say more. He could tell Demon Emperor was a person of real strength, and people like him could quickly become a threat if they grew too powerful. However, as long as Demon Emperor didn't interfere with Orson's plans, everything should be fine.
Then, an announcement echoed through the entire server:
"Tomorrow at 8 PM, an auction will take place for the bases Xuanwu, Black Wolf, Azure, and Roshan. The starting bid for each base is 100,000 gold."
