At this moment,
Lei Shan finally understood why Zhao Ming had fainted.
Damn it—
His main weapon had dropped!!
A Diamond-tier weapon!
Among equipment of the same tier,
the rarity and value of a weapon
were absolutely at least ten times higher than other gear slots!
If Lei Shan remembered correctly,
Zhao Ming's [Call of the Storm]
had dropped from a Diamond-tier dungeon boss.
Not only was it extremely rare,
its attached effects were also incredibly powerful—
And most importantly,
it perfectly matched Zhao Ming's identity as a
Storm Multishot Archer!
Now that the weapon was gone,
Zhao Ming's combat strength would definitely drop by an entire tier!
"What kind of dogshit luck is this…"
Lei Shan felt lingering fear as he touched the spell orb at his waist.
His orb was also a Diamond-tier weapon.
If that had dropped, his heart would've shattered…
No—
Zhao Ming's weapon dropping
already made his heart ache to death!
After all, he had just said—
Most of the losses would be compensated by the guild.
Lei Shan's mouth twitched, and his legs felt a little weak.
A single Diamond-tier weapon like that
would wipe out more than half the guild warehouse.
But he couldn't not compensate.
Zhao Ming was the vice guild leader—
his combat power absolutely could not fall behind.
Thinking this far,
Lei Shan endured the pain and kicked Zhao Ming on the ground—
"Alright—"
"Stop fucking lying there."
"When we get back, I'll check the auction house
to see if there's another weapon with the same name…"
"If there isn't, I'll get you a different Diamond-tier bow."
Hearing this,
Zhao Ming—who had been lying there rolling his eyes—
finally climbed up, crying miserably:
"Thank you, Guild Leader!"
Lei Shan gritted his teeth,
forcing himself not to beat Zhao Ming half to death,
then turned to the other two vice guild leaders—
"Yours didn't drop, right?"
Li Dan shook his head. "I got lucky. Mine didn't."
Qian Yuan: "..."
At this moment,
everyone finally noticed—
Qian Yuan, the handsome vice guild leader who always cared about his appearance,
was actually barefoot!
His upper body sparkled brilliantly—
all high-quality equipment glowing brightly.
But his lower body—
bare feet.
Toes gripping the ground.
It looked… kind of ridiculous.
However,
seeing Qian Yuan's dark expression,
no one dared to laugh.
"I lost a Diamond-tier pair of boots
and a Diamond-tier necklace."
Qian Yuan took a deep breath and reported his losses.
Two Diamond-tier pieces…
Though not as valuable as a Diamond-tier weapon,
they were still like stabbing Lei Shan twice in the heart.
"Alright, alright—let's head back first."
After more than ten minutes,
listening to all the guild members' reports,
Lei Shan really couldn't take it anymore.
He directly took out a large-area teleport scroll
and brought everyone back to the guild headquarters in Tianling City.
After settling the compensation,
he planned to go find that big shot from the S-rank guild.
Big shot or not—
you couldn't scam him like this!
Wasn't this clearly bullying an honest man?!
...
At the same time—
Dongling City.
Outside the Job Advancement Temple.
Wang Fei, surrounded like a star among the moon,
had just walked out of the temple.
After completing his job advancement,
he had been kept behind by the staff in charge.
That person was a member of Dongling City's largest guild—
the C-rank guild "Qingshan Pavilion."
After Wang Fei advanced into the rare mage class Ice Mage,
the man directly extended an invitation.
The onlookers were practically green with envy.
You had to know—
In the entire Dongling City,
only Qingshan Pavilion was a C-rank guild.
All others were D-rank or E-rank.
Joining a guild had one huge benefit—
guild-wide buff bonuses.
Such as experience bonuses, attribute bonuses, and more.
As a C-rank guild,
Qingshan Pavilion could provide its members with:
10% bonus EXP from monster kills!
2% bonus to all attributes!
Don't underestimate these numbers.
Over time,
they were enough to create a massive gap!
What's more,
Wang Fei himself was a fast-growing mage!
It was like adding wings to a tiger—
he had boarded the express train of leveling up!
Because of this,
after receiving the invitation,
Wang Fei didn't hesitate at all.
He followed the other party back into the Job Advancement Temple
and, with the help of the temple priest,
completed the guild entry ceremony.
And now—
having just finished joining the guild,
Wang Fei could already feel his attributes receiving a boost!
Although the bonus wasn't large yet,
he firmly believed—
as his level increased,
this buff would bring him enormous benefits!
"Brother Wang, you're really about to take off!
You even have people from Qingshan Pavilion power-leveling you—
I'm insanely jealous!"
"Jealous? I'm jealous to the point of crying!
That big shot just said that once Brother Wang's ready,
he can get carried to Level 5 within three days!"
"Brother Wang, once you hit Level 5, can you carry me a bit?
Just get me to Level 3 so I can learn a life skill—nothing more!"
"Get lost! Who the hell are you?
You think you deserve to party with Brother Wang?
Brother Wang, look at me—"
"Brother Wang~ I'm a support, my healing output is huge~"
Faced with all the flattery and bootlicking,
Wang Fei raised his chin high.
That smug look—
just like a proud rooster.
At that moment—
he suddenly spotted a familiar figure—
That was—
Su Yang?
Why was Su Yang at the Job Advancement Temple?
Wang Fei's gaze stabbed straight toward him.
He still remembered how he had invited Su Yang to party before—
only to be completely ignored.
Perfect—
now that he had joined Qingshan Pavilion…
Wang Fei was just about to call out to Su Yang—
But Su Yang acted as if he hadn't seen him at all.
He walked straight past Wang Fei and his followers
and entered the Job Advancement Temple directly.
Seeing this,
before Wang Fei could even speak,
his lackeys had already started throwing shade.
"Su Yang? What's a freshly advanced normal warrior
doing at the Job Advancement Temple?
Did some E-rank guild take pity on him?"
"Dream on. Even E-rank guilds require Level 10 to join.
Not like our Brother Wang—
Qingshan Pavilion opened the back door just for him."
"Hahaha, my guess is he doesn't know how to level solo,
has no connections at home,
and came to ask the temple priest to plan his leveling route!"
Originally,
Su Yang had no intention of paying them any attention.
But sometimes,
some people are just like flies.
If you don't swat them,
they'll keep buzzing in your face and disgusting you.
So—
Su Yang stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at Wang Fei and his group of lapdogs.
"You guys—
what did you just say?"
