“More than ten high-level players were killed? Since when did the patrol team have such strength?”

“F*ck, isn’t this the same as killing those foreign guilds?”

“Beautifully done!”

“That bunch of people should have been reorganized long ago.”

“…”

Most of the hotel’s guests were newbies who had completed their class change from last year to this year. They were full of vigor and were immediately excited when they heard the news.

But there were also people who looked at Lin Bai suspiciously.

This kid had just returned, and the news had just happened.

Then, was he…

Lin Bai looked at the news and shook his head with a face full of emotion. Su Ling’er felt like punching him.

“Hey, Lin Bai, did you pass the single-player dungeon?” someone asked.

“Yes.” Lin Bai nodded. “I just passed A-rank.”

“That’s good enough.” The other party obviously had other intentions. He pointed at Su Ling’er and scolded, “Su Ling’er is now a powerful alchemist. You’re just a warrior who can’t even pass an S-rank instance dungeon. Isn’t it a little too much to occupy her?”

“From what you’re saying, if we weren’t childhood sweethearts, would you have the chance to pursue her?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

The man sneered, “I don’t think so. However, a powerful guild came to check on Su Ling’er. They found out that Su Ling’er’s alchemist talent is very high. They want to take her to the higher-class guild.”

What did that have to do with him?

Lin Bai said casually, “We don’t have any close relationship. Even if we do, she can go to any guild she wants. I won’t stop her.”

“Then you should release a statement. Tell Su Ling’er not to worry about your thoughts. Tell her that whatever she does has nothing to do with you.” That person was insatiable. “Otherwise, you’re a selfish person!”

Lin Bai was furious. He looked at the man and mocked, “You’re a B-rank from Azure High School. No wonder you like to suck up to high-level guilds.”

He was just a class-change holder with a mere B-rank talent. It was simply a dream for him to join a high-level guild, especially a powerful high-level guild.

This brat had thought of persuading Su Ling’er to join them. Perhaps, he had some benefits in this.

Why?

Because Su Ling’er had exposed her [Alchemy] skill to the public in order to make sure that she could refine pills at any time.

Anyone who could use the detection skill would be able to see that her professional skill [Alchemy] had reached the ‘master’ stage.

This was very useful to those high-level guilds. An alchemist who had reached the level of master was the target that many guilds coveted.

The reason was simple.

Su Ling’er had the [Alchemist’s Golden Core Furnace], which had a 3% extra success rate. Hence, she was able to increase her proficiency faster and the quality was better. Other alchemists didn’t have this advantage.

A high-level alchemist whose proficiency had reached ‘master’ would cost at least tens of millions of gold coins, and most of them would need tens of millions of gold coins.

As for Su Ling’er, she was already a skilled alchemist. Furthermore, she was a novice alchemist who had just completed her class change. This meant that her talent was at least A+. With a little more training, she would become an advanced alchemist, or even the ultimate alchemist, an ‘Alchemist’.

For example, Su Ling’er was like a person who had upgraded her furnace to the intermediate level. Furthermore, she was a person who did not belong to any power.

At this time, whoever could grab this alchemy furnace would be the owner of the alchemy furnace.

Do you think those high-level guilds wouldn’t be tempted?

Su Ling’er’s refusal to join the high-level guilds had become the main point of the guilds’ anger.

You’re just a newbie who just changed your class, how dare you reject us?

However, an alchemist was not someone that the guild was willing to offend, and the reason why alchemists did not join the guild became a target of their hatred.

Lin Bai happened to be the reason why Su Ling’er didn’t want to join the guilds. In fact, he was the only reason.

How could the higher-ranked guild not be angry?

“Which guild?” Lin Bai asked casually.

Su Ling’er smiled. Just as she was about to speak, someone else interrupted.

A tall warrior criticized in a muffled voice, “Lin Bai, you can’t be too selfish. When you were in school, Principal Luo never mistreated you. Now, Young Master Luo’s guild needs alchemists the most. You can’t be ungrateful and not let Su Ling’er go to the guild that’s still developing, right?”

“No way? You can’t be that selfish, can you?” There were also a few newbies from Azure High School who joined in.

Lin Bai thought for a long time before he realized what kind of person Young Master Luo was.

The son of the principal of Azure High School. He could be considered a pretty good talent. It was said that he had completed the second class change for his Level 50 class. That was the first transition that players had talked about after leaving the novice village.

As a powerful warrior, Xiao Luo had achieved the goal of [Berserker], which was desired by at least half of the warriors after his transition.

This was a class that wasn’t good for dungeons, but it was extremely good for combat.

His hatred points were not high, so he could not pull the monsters in the dungeon.

However, it had high attack power and high attack frequency. It was very suitable for a short burst of power. It could even kill a mage of the same level before they could react.

Because he had completed his transition as a berserker, Young Master Luo was very popular and famous in Azure City.

The guild he was in was also a powerful guild with strong financial support. There were many professional experts in it, but in such a guild, Young Master Luo was also considered to be a top-tier fighter.

This person didn’t have any bad track record, but he was very overbearing, especially in front of the students of Azure High School. No one could refute what he said, and no one could stop him from doing what he wanted, or he would definitely take revenge.

Lin Bai did not like this person.

Su Ling’er didn’t like this person either.

Lin Bai thought for a moment and said, “I thought you guys had connections with some guild. So it’s the second-rate guild that isn’t even considered the peak.”

He dared to say this, and no one dared to refute it.

The Fighting League had a tyrannical style. A few months ago, it was said that they were very confident and tried to challenge the top ten guilds in the city. In the end, in the guild war, they were first defeated by the Purple Air from the East, who admitted that they were the last of the first-rate guilds. Then, they were completely annihilated by the women’s guild, Violet Cloud, which was recognized as the sixth most powerful guild in Azure City in a field battle.

This was not the most humiliating thing. The most humiliating thing for the Fighting League was that the second-rate guild on the Azure City’s guild ranking list, the new guild called Violet Cloud, had defeated them twice in a row.

If the Fighting League dared to stand out and say that they were Azure’s top guild, they would probably be used as experience bags by second-rate guilds again.

However, his words made those r*tards who had not joined the Fighting League angry.

“You’re more talented than us, so what? No Guild will take a fancy to you,” the tall warrior said in disdain. “If you have the ability, join one of the top guilds and then show off. If you don’t have the ability, then don’t look down on this and that. There might not be any guilds that want you.”

“Yeah, yeah. No guilds are interested in me. I can’t help it.” Lin Bai couldn’t be bothered to argue with them.
