Return to the Guild

In the guild's carriage, Gu Xi remained silent with his head down, while Li Xinghui, sitting opposite him, was chatting casually with Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi's mind was not on that, and he didn't pay much attention. He just nodded casually in response, not really listening to anything.

It wasn't until Li Xinghui shook Gu Xi that Gu Xi raised her head in a daze.

"You little brat, you didn't hear a word I said, did you?"

"Ah, I was thinking about something and didn't react for a moment."

Gu Xi raised his head and said somewhat awkwardly.

"What are you thinking about? I think you're calculating the losses this time. I heard that in a world like the Great Sacrifice, there are no rewards for leaving early."

But don't worry, the president said you'll definitely get your share.

Gu Xi shook his head. "No, we knew from the beginning that there wouldn't be any good rewards. After all, we were removed from the points Leaderboard on the first day. Without the points Leaderboard, there's naturally nothing."

Quitting early is no big deal at all.

Hearing Gu Xi's words, Li Xinghui didn't believe them at all.

There are many benefits to be gained from the Bailian Grand Ceremony, but the most valuable reward is the prize for being ranked first on the Leaderboard.

Now that everyone has withdrawn early, it means that no one has received the reward.

Even if Gu Xi did something extraordinary during the Grand Sacrifice, he would receive none of the rewards for withdrawing in the end.

Therefore, Li Xinghui believed that Gu Xi's mood was so bad because he hadn't gained much this time.

But he never expected that Gu Xi would actually earn a lot this time.

Putting everything else aside, Gu Xi now commands over 10,000 troops, all of whom are Regular Army at level 4 or higher.

Meanwhile, his city has expanded considerably due to this world event, and various Building Blueprint have been scheduled to be completed in thirty days.

Not to mention Luna, who is on her way back. Gu Xi doesn't know what Luna got, but one thing is certain: Luna definitely got the fragment of the Sessho-seki.

If you get an Orange Equipment, what does the points Leaderboard even matter?

This time, no one in Bailian City made as much money as Gu Xi.

But Li Xinghui was unaware of all this; he still thought Gu Xi had lost out this time.

He's still there, giving advice to Gu Xi.

"I've heard about what happened to you this time. Even without the rankings, the fact that you single-handedly suppressed the elite players of the three major guilds— Corpse Bone Fish Dragon, Ghost Walk Spear, and Steel Ghost Claw —is enough."

This is quite a prestigious thing. When you get back, you don't need to say anything. Just wait for the chairman to return.

"Just take whatever the president gives you; anything the president gives you is always good stuff."

At this point, Li Xinghui patted Gu Xi on the shoulder and said, "You might just get two pieces of purple gear."

If it were before he came out, Gu Xi might have been a little excited.

However, Gu Xi has already obtained two purple-grade equipment pieces during the Bailian Grand Ceremony, and may even get some Orange Equipment. Whether it's one or two purple-grade pieces, it's really not going to attract Gu Xi's attention too much.

Gu Xi's attitude also caught Li Xinghui's attention.

"What's wrong? Now that you're stronger, you look down on purple-grade equipment?"

"No, but what I really want now is a fusion-compatible land deed. Do you think if I talk to the guild, they'll give me the complete set, from the Evil Temple to the Dark Temple?"

"You little brat, you're dreaming."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinghui smiled and said, "If you really want to change, you can exchange one piece of purple equipment for the entire set in the mausoleum, but I don't recommend you do that. Purple equipment will significantly improve your combat power, but it won't have much of an impact in the mausoleum."

The mausoleum definitely won't give you the best; it will only give you the most ordinary kind. It produces four Lich a week, starting at level 6. It won't take a year or two to build up even a basic army.

"With that time, if you get purple gear and level up quickly, you could summon Lich yourself in just a few months."

Gu Xi also understood that what Li Xinghui said represented the mainstream thinking of all necromancers at the moment.

Undead Army primarily rely on summoning spirits, and unless they are traditional, Established Family, they rarely choose to build their own Training Camp.

But Gu Xi's approach was completely different.

Gu Xi came with a city from the very beginning, and this city is slowly developing.

The biggest problem in the city Gu Xi now is that many of the preliminary buildings have not yet been completed.

For example, the [Crimson Temple Design Blueprint] in his possession needs to be placed in the mausoleum first.

Judging from Gu Xi's current situation, it's unclear how long he'll have to wait to build a mausoleum and train Lich.

Now that this possibility has arisen, the opportunity for Gu Xi to train the Crimson Knight at the temple has come.

So Gu Xi secretly kept this possibility in mind.

Of course, Gu Xi was now in high spirits, and he told Li Xinghui about some of the things that happened during the Bailian Grand Ceremony.

Upon hearing that Gu Xi had made many friends, but too many had died in the Bailian Grand Ceremony, Li Xinghui also remarked.

"This is normal. You are just starting out and the worlds you are encountering are relatively simple. If you go to a pioneering world, you might really die if you die."

Every day you'll find familiar people around you, and new, unfamiliar people joining the group.

Sometimes you feel, "It's so good to be alive."

Gu Xi somewhat shared Li Xinghui's sentiments.

Xia Yi and Wang Baogen were in this situation.

He clearly felt that these two were a good match for friends, but when he turned around, they were gone.

He could also sense the pain in Li Xinghui's words; how many comrades must have died for him to gain such insight?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, did you have any unusual gains during the Bailian Grand Ceremony? What was the route of this Grand Festival? If you had any unusual gains that you don't want, you can sell them."

You might not know where the player-organized market is in the guild.

"I'll take you there later. If there's anything you don't want this time, you can just bring it out and sell it."

"Okay."

Gu Xi was quite willing to sell some unimportant, bizarre items.

While Gu Xi himself hadn't participated in the fighting these past few days, his men hadn't been idle.

All five Hero launched their attacks, starting from the Troop Stockade City Gate, then moving into the Blood Luo Cave, and finally into the main street to engage in battle.

They collected a considerable amount of various supplies and strange items.

Gu Xi was preoccupied with the matter of the Heavenly Dao White-Robed Great Guanyin, so he didn't pay attention to this matter and didn't even bother to organize it, leaving it all to Kane to handle.

Gu Xi is currently troubled by a large pile of strange white and gray items that he has nowhere to dispose of.

Upon Li Xinghui's words, Gu Xi became quite excited.
