Chapter 766: 766
A single trip to the underworld netted them 1,200,000 gold . This was unimaginable for other guilds, but it was perfectly normal for Asskickers United . Nie Yan estimated this haul was their last big profit from this venture . With the opening of Judgement Valley, players would definitely think of different loopholes to smuggle goods between the two factions and saturate the market .
However, the parternship between Asskickers United and Fallen Angel was only getting started .
They shared a common enemy in Angels Corps and the Century Financial Group . So, they would launch a joint-attack .
Nie Yan and Plenty got in touch with each other . After discussing the details of their cooperation, Asskickers United also dispatched over 100,000 players over to the Satreen Empire . A total of 300,000 players started stirring up trouble in the territories controlled by Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group .
After handling these matters, Nie Yan messaged Guo Huai . 「Have Sun, Xie Yao, and them all come meet me in Barthe . 」
Nie Yan still had to deal with Phantom Princess Ina . He couldn’t take her on alone .
「Shadow Killer just completed his class advancement quest . He became a Shadow Stalker,」Guo Huai said .
Nie Yan was happy to hear of the progress Shadow Killer made . Not too long ago, they were strangers linked by a bet . After killing Soaring Angel, Nie Yan had Shadow Killer assassinate Cao Xu . A piece of cake for this veteran . But this also ruptured what little good blood was left between both sides . Infuriated, Cao Xu used Shadow Killer's friends where it hurt most . A small betrayal here, a larger one there . Thousands upon thousands of Thieves chased after him every single second the servers were online . It took him everything he had just to survive . Abandoned by his friends, allies, and even the very organization he founded, a quiet rage bubbled up inside of him . However, he couldn't take Cao Xu on himself, that was a fool's hope . He needed allies . Joining Asskickers United was the only logical next step . As he came to this conclusion, Guo Huai sent another one of his periodical messages to which he replied for the first time . They came together and shared their thoughts, after which they decided to work together under the banner of Asskickers United to bring down Cao Xu and the Century Financial Group .
Shadow Killer becoming a Shadow Stalker was incredibly exciting news . Asskickers United now had six Shadow Dancers: Nie Yan, Sun, King of the World, Mistaken Smile, One Strike Vow, and Shadow Killer . Among them, Nie Yan, Mistaken Smile, and Shadow Killer had special titles . All the best Thieves were in Asskickers United . However, Nie Yan felt a little conflicted because of the changes his interference had brought about . The Luminous Dancer, Shadow Strifer, and Shadow Stalker titles were all unique . His snatching away the Luminous Dancer title from Mistaken Smile had caused a chain reaction to occur . Mistaken Smile obtained the Shadow Strifer title this time around, and Shadow Killer the Shadow Stalker title which belonged to Sun in the previous timeline .
Nie Yan cast these thoughts aside . Whether it was Sun or Shadow Killer that obtained the Shadow Stalker title, it didn’t matter . They were both members of Asskickers United anyway .
Asskickers United had consecutively produced six Shadow Dancers . Everyone else was left to look on in admiration, especially those who played the Thief class . They all agreed on one thing, and that was that any skilled Thief worth their salt would join Asskickers United . Apart from Angel Corps with Butcher Sark, no other guild had produced a top Thief .
「Have him come over too . 」
Before long, Asskickers United’s Masters arrived in Barthe .
Nie Yan passed by a street and spotted an expedition team of 300 players from a guild called Moonchaser Sword in his path . Most of them were around Level 120-130 . They were slowly making their way towards a tower . Several Fighters were at the front, drawing the aggro of a few Desert Giants .
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Desert Giants lumbered forward and attacked the Fighters . They raised their thick, solid arms and slammed down with their fists . KLAAANG! The Fighters were pushed back by the force, but they immediately charged back into position .
“Fighters, draw them to the side! Mages, focus your firepower!” a Thief called Drowned Fish shouted . He was likely their leader .
A barrage of magic rained down on the Desert Giants . The Mages in the back unloaded their skills . The coordination of this group was pretty good .
Any group that could explore Barthe wasn’t simple .
Nie Yan took a detour around them and continued onward . He could already see the walls to the inner district off in the distance . As he wondered where he should start searching for that NPC named Morphest, he noticed that the deeper he ventured into the city, the greater the mob density was . Desert Giants were everywhere . This would definitely be a decent levelling spot .
Nie Yan chanted out an incantation . With a flash of light, Lil’ Gold’s enormous figure emerged by his side .
Lil’ Gold’s appearance immediately alerted the nearby Desert Giants . They came charging over, flailing their arms to attack .
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The flurry of attacks triggered consecutive Explosive Counters . Powerful whirlwinds erupted from Lil’ Gold and swept away the Desert Giants .
Nie Yan pulled up Divine Recruitment and also summoned Paladin Lafus .
Man and dragon immediately started clearing out the area . Nie Yan remained in stealth, collecting the loot off the ground as he pressed forward .
A white light enveloped Lil’ Gold, signalling a level up . Nie Yan checked Lil’ Gold’s stats . A Level 130 dragon with 170,000 health! He was an unrivalled powerhouse among pets .
Lil’ Gold also learned a new skill, Blaze Armour . When this skill was toggled on, it’d deal continuous fire damage to all surrounding enemy units .
Many players had attempted to obtain pets that could rival Lil’ Gold, but they all failed . Finding a pet with high potential was still possible, there were plenty who did . However, realizing that potential proved incredibly difficult . As for Evolution Crystals, though there’d been others who found one, they were a limited few . Due to this, the number of players who could gather both were perhaps no more than a handful, and they wouldn’t necessarily be willing to use the Evolution Crystal on a pet . Not to mention a pet that ate an Evolution Crystal at Level 0 was completely different from one that ate it at a higher level .
As a result, Lil’ Gold still occupied the position as the most powerful pet . Taking care of these Desert Giants was a piece of cake for him .
After learning Blaze Armour, any Desert Giants that got near him would immediately start taking 6,000 fire damage a second .
As soon as Lil’ Gold’s health started dipping, Paladin Lafus would immediately top him back up . With this kind of super healer supporting him from the rear, there was no need to worry about running out of health .
