Chapter 91

The truth was finally revealed, and Xia Mo announced to everyone that there was a hidden entrance to the Tomb City and that the strategy was likely leaked by someone who had quit the club.

Ripe Tomato was very upset after hearing this. He cursed the plan inside and out. After cursing, he felt that it was not uncomfortable enough, so he pulled out several people who had quit the club before and cursed them one by one.

After doing all this, he was able to calm down his emotions.

At this moment, the assassin Ye Buyu suddenly stood up with a complicated expression: "Everyone, I want to apologize to everyone..."

"What's wrong?" Ripe Tomato turned his head, looking confused. The others also turned around, not knowing what Ye Buyu was going to do.

Ye Buyu lowered his eyes slightly, pinched his hands on both sides, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and looked straight at Xia Mo.

"I'm sorry everyone, I was the one who leaked the strategy."

ah? ? ?

The guild instantly became quiet, and everyone stared at Ye Buyu with wide eyes in disbelief.

Feeling the sting of everyone's gaze, Ye Buyu gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

"I didn't mean to reveal it to Dorayaki."

"Actually... before I was chosen to open up the Tomb City wasteland, Tongluo Shao and I were pretty close. We could talk about anything... But after I joined the wasteland development team, Tongluo Shao's attitude towards me started to change."

"He often asks me how to open the Tomb City, what mechanisms are inside, what skills the boss has, and how we defeated the boss..."

The ripe tomato opened its eyes wide: "And you told him everything?"

Ye Buyu lowered his head guiltily: "Well, I didn't think too much about it at the time. I thought he was just curious, so I told him everything..."

hiss--

Many people gasped.

Ye Buyu tried hard to raise his eyelids and looked around. He found that everyone looked at him with shock, speechlessness, and disappointment.

There was a bitterness in his heart, but he did not regret doing it.

"This is my fault. I am willing to accept any punishment from the guild."

Whether intentional or unintentional, as long as irreparable losses are caused to the guild, punishment measures must be implemented. Otherwise, there will be no rules, no order, and the dignity of a guild will be difficult to establish.

Xia Mo decided to handle things in a businesslike manner: "Sala, calculate the losses of the guild's development this time and deduct the corresponding amount from Ye Buyu's DKP (which can be simply understood as contribution points). If the deduction is not enough, continue to deduct it from future salaries."

And it will be deducted from the future... When everyone heard this, they thought, isn't this equivalent to working for nothing? They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, but at the same time they felt that Xia Mo's behavior was reasonable.

After all, if Ye Buyu hadn't revealed it, the Zongheng Sihai gang would never have been able to clear the level so quickly, and if Qingyao went straight ahead, they would have every chance of getting the first kill.

No matter how you think about it, Qingyao Zhishang should not be made to bear this huge loss, otherwise Qingyao Zhishang will really become a sucker and anyone who comes will step on him.

Ye Buyu had no objection to Xia Mo's arrangement.

Soon, in the guild panel, the more than 100 DKP points following his ID were deducted to 0, which made everyone feel helpless and emotional.

It's frustrating that Ye Buyu didn't reveal the information intentionally, but it still caused a lot of losses to the guild; it's sad that they have to be very careful with their words and actions in the future, and even if it's someone from the guild, they have to think before answering.

Otherwise, if you run into a traitor like Dorayaki, you will harm both the guild and yourself.

"Okay, don't be so depressed." Seeing everyone's dejected mood, Xia Mo spoke calmly, "We should be thankful that we only stumbled in the level 20 special dungeon this time. The losses are still manageable. If we only realized at level 30 or 40 that our careless words had allowed the strategy to be stolen by someone with ulterior motives, the losses would be immeasurable."

The development of a guild is like the growth of a person; there will always be bumps and setbacks along the way.

And every stumble will become a stepping stone on the road to progress.

"Boss, you're right. There's an old saying that failure is the mother of success. Our failure this time is laying the foundation for future success!" said the ripe tomato in a strong and powerful voice.

The others nodded and agreed.

Looking at the people who had regained their fighting spirit, Xia Mo's eyebrows curved slightly.

No matter in the previous life or this life, the members of Qingyaozhishang always make her feel energetic and warm, which is something that many large guilds do not have, and she happens to like this kind of atmosphere very much.

After the meeting, she hurriedly left the guild and prepared to go to the wild to kill monsters and level up.

Just as she found the map and was about to start working, a letter by carrier pigeon suddenly fell into her hands.

Xia Mo was suspicious and couldn't imagine who would send her a letter on purpose.

After reading the content, she relaxed her brows with joy. Yes, her mentor Quinn finally remembered to assign her a professional task.

On the way back to the Astrology Tower, there were several maps to pass through, so Xia Mo thought about it and killed dozens of groups of monsters, successfully raising his level to 27.

After entering the tower, Quinn saw that her strength had increased a lot compared to before, so he gave her a few words of praise as usual and began to issue tasks.

"The stars seem to have changed recently. Can you take a look for me and record the new signs?"

[Professional Mission: Go to [Fennat Heights] to observe the stars and record your observations (observation time at least 90 minutes)]

Unexpectedly, it was another stargazing, Xia Mo muttered in her heart. She thought she would be given some tasks to learn skills, but she was asked to meditate again... No, observe the starry sky.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he quickly agreed.

[Area Map: Finnert Heights]

The moon is bright and the starry sky is shining. No matter how many times Xia Mo comes to this highland, he will be shocked by the night view here.

Recalling the top ten maps of "Protoss" rated by players back then, Xia Mo was puzzled many times, why these people did not include Finnart Highlands?

Unable to figure it out, she simply decided not to think about it. She found a convenient location for observation, sat down, let the sperm out to let it run wild, and then began to observe while recording with her head raised.

One person, one pet, and one starry sky. Time seems to be frozen here.

On the quiet high ground, the night breeze occasionally blew, gently lifting the strands of hair by her ears, adding a touch of softness to her quiet and cold face.

A bunch of meteors suddenly streaked across the sky. Xia Mo raised his chin with a look of surprise.

Click.

In a corner unknown to her, a photo was taken.

Oh my god, it’s absolutely beautiful!

Mingyue Fusu looked at the picture in his hand, tears of joy almost overflowing.

I didn't expect that he just came here looking for an opportunity. I didn't expect that he just took a casual shot and achieved the effect that he hadn't been able to achieve in the past two days.

The finished product was beyond his expectations, which made him feel much better after being in a bad mood all day.

He lowered his head and looked at the photo carefully again. Well, although the composition is not the most perfect, it has a natural and casual atmosphere. Maybe this style will be okay?

Mingyue Fusu was thinking, and before he knew it, he had uploaded the photo to the event page.

Yes, the official "Protoss" launched a photo-taking event yesterday called "Capture the most beautiful picture in your heart". The event will last for 3 days and there is no limit on professions and levels. Anyone who is willing can sign up to participate during the event.

As a scenery lover, Mingyue Fusu signed up immediately when he saw the event.

After registering, he was prepared to compete with tens of millions of competitors. However, at the end of the whole day yesterday, there were only less than 1,000 contestants listed on the official website, and hundreds of them were just passing by and casually posted a photo as a perfunctory measure.

Mingyue Fusu was puzzled, but ecstatic.

It wasn't until he logged back into the game today that he understood why the photo-taking activity was so unpopular.

Because the guild war between Qingyao Zhishang and Zuijiu Xiaohongchen yesterday attracted a lot of attention from players around the world, which directly led to not much attention to the photo-taking event, and naturally there were fewer competitors.

Mingyue Fusu was so excited about this that he traveled around the world looking for beautiful scenery.

He took photos along the way, picking and choosing, and finally, after careful selection, he chose a photo that was flawless in terms of composition, perspective, light and shadow.

He was about to upload it to the official website, but when he clicked on the event page and saw the latest number of participants, he almost rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot!

18,000! It was only 1,000 yesterday, how come it suddenly rose to 18,000 today?!

He stared at the numbers in astonishment, so shocked that he almost had a heart attack. He stroked his chest and took a long time to calm down. Finally, he had to accept the cruel reality that today's photo event would see a huge increase in the number of people attending.

However, what was cruel was not only the increase in the number of contestants, but what also upset him was that there were also many professional landscape enthusiasts participating.

He looked through the official photos one by one, and to be honest, he was really shocked by dozens of them.

The Xige Mountains, shrouded in orange light, exude the tranquility of a fading beauty; Lawrence Cathedral, bathed in the morning light, exudes a sacredness and grandeur; and there's also the remote Yakat Caves and the Tangu Desert, with its overlapping sand dunes...

The maps he had walked on all showed the most beautiful scenes under the photography of this group of masters.

Mingyue Fusu looked at the photos he had carefully selected and fell silent.

If compared with the group of contestants yesterday, based on his many years of photography experience, this photo of his would definitely stand out. However, at this moment, compared with these masters who registered later, the photo in his hand... is like a cup of colorless and tasteless boiled water, without any highlights.

His most proud work was easily replaced by a later one, and this gap made him extremely depressed all day long.

Let him give up, he knows in his heart that he can't do it, but if he doesn't give up, he will go back and forth to various famous maps in the continent of Pergas, but he still can't produce any work that can rival those masters.

When night fell, he had lost most of his hope and wandered to Finnat Heights in a daze.

He was about to give up.

Give up the idea of ​​winning awards.

But at this moment, he saw the moonlight, the starry sky, and a player who was concentrating on drawing under the starry sky. Next to her, there was a strange-looking battle pet having fun.

Mingyue Fusu was stunned for a moment.

He swore that no scene had ever made him so moved.

Just then a meteor streaked across the starry sky.

He pressed the shutter button without any thought, and a stunning picture was recorded by him.

On the event page, the number of views of a photo titled "Her Under the Starry Sky" began to climb, and the number of votes below it also began to gradually increase.

Noticing that this was a photo uploaded less than an hour ago, many players doubted the authenticity of the photo data.

Some people called the customer service hotline to complain directly. Soon, the customer service replied to the complainants that after investigation, all the data under the photo were true and there was no falsification.

As soon as the clarification was made, the popularity of this photo exploded further.

Many people took screenshots of the picture and asked around who the female player in the photo was, hoping to meet such a beauty.

Unfortunately, due to the lighting and shadow issues in the photo, as well as the certain distance between them, no one could clearly see who the person with lowered eyes was in the picture.

Looking at the rapidly rising number of votes, Mingyue Fusu was not as excited as he had hoped, but became more and more nervous.

Because the picture is so beautiful, everyone is guessing who the female player is who is part of this beauty...

Some people said that the female model was specially found by the photographer and would take photos for money. Others said that it might be a beautiful player who had a good relationship with the photographer and that was why she cooperated... There were many different opinions at the time, and some were even more outrageous.

Mingyue Fusu looked at these speculations and felt sick all over!!!

Because only he knew that the person sitting there was not a model he had specially found, but the famous world's number one ink color!

If she knew that he took a secret photo of her (even if it was only a side view from a distance), wouldn't she kill him and delete his account?

When Mingyue Fusu thought of this result, he just hated himself for being so clumsy!

However, the photo has been uploaded and has aggressively made it to the first page. Works that have entered the homepage cannot be withdrawn without official permission. Mingyue Fusu is now completely helpless. He refreshes the page with despair, hoping that he can fall off the first page before the end of the event.

Xia Mo, who was painting the starry sky on Finat Heights, knew nothing about this.

After 90 minutes of observation, she collected her essence and returned to the Astrology Tower to report.

"Good boy, your observation results are very accurate." Quinn accepted the task with satisfaction.

A series of pop-up boxes followed.

Looking at the last line of words, Xia Mo was suddenly stunned.

It took her several seconds to realize that she had... unlocked a hidden class?! Isn't this better than learning a new skill?!
