Chapter 1485: Chapter 1349: Lure the Enemy by Taking Advantage of an Opportunity

World Channel.

"Overturning Water, listen up, give us back the treasure of Close to the Horizon immediately. Snatching loot halfway through, what kind of hero does that?"

"Exactly, do you know how hard it was for us to kill that BOSS? As the champion of a big martial arts competition, using such underhanded tactics, have you no shame?"

"Sinister scoundrel Overturning Water, return our treasure at once! Otherwise, Close to the Horizon guild will fight you to the end!"

"Wow, what’s going on, getting hot all of a sudden? Fighting for a front-row seat to watch the drama, if there’s a fuss, make it big, more enjoyable that way!"

"The person above really has no conscience, watching the drama and not even calling out, so inconsiderate!"

"Who knows if this is true or false, we need pictures for the truth, stop slandering the great Overturning Water!"

Players were shook by this bombshell news, some troublemakers continued to fan the flames, trying to make the situation even bigger, while others were half-doubtful, speculating on everything, but most didn’t believe that Overturning Water could do such a thing; with his status, why would he offend a big guild over an item?

Only a fool would do that!

And, let’s be honest, the Close to the Horizon guild getting their treasure stolen by a single player is a shameful story in itself—if they had any pride, they wouldn’t broadcast this on the world channel. Isn’t that just slapping their own face?

"Manager of Close to the Horizon, just want to ask, what treasure did Overturning Water actually take from you that’s got you so angry?"

"It’s not an artifact, is it? If it’s just dark gold equipment or something, it’s really not worth Overturning Water’s effort."

"I think it’s a divine pet, Overturning Water loves collecting pets, even being labeled a name-caller would be worth it."

Carving Dragon was watching the string of messages with a dark face the entire time, the emergence of such public opinion was unexpected to him. However, there was another problem— he didn’t even know what treasure Overturning Water had obtained. The stone on Purple Frog’s forehead was just a suspected treasure, and it was very likely just a quest item for this guy; after all, the BOSS wasn’t even dead yet, nobody would believe it if it got out.

Carving Dragon’s original intention was to blackmail Overturning Water, but he didn’t expect to blow things up this big and put himself in such an awkward position. Faced with the audience’s suspicions, Carving Dragon could only choose to stay silent and let the situation ferment, waiting for Overturning Water to contact him.

But.

Carving Dragon’s hopes were doomed to remain unfulfilled.

Su Ran hadn’t even opened the world channel, and even if he did, he didn’t have the time to watch. Right now, his only thought was to hatch the Sun God Bird!

At this moment, Su Ran was so excited that he completely forgot about the Lin sisters, what dangers they might encounter when they logged back in at the lake was no longer his concern.

As soon as he escaped back to his territory and was calming his excited heart, a friend notification sound rang out.

Opening it, it turned out to be Big Blood Bull, who he hadn’t been in touch with for a long time.

"Big brother, what are you up to?"

Big Blood Bull’s words carried simplicity and honesty, and surprisingly, also a hint of urgency.

"Something the matter? Just got back from an adventure, was about to go turn in a quest."

Su Ran said half-truthfully; his so-called ’delivering a quest’ meant going to the scammer Yin Si to inquire about the process of hatching the Sun God Bird.

"You really don’t care, do you? The whole world is nearly talking themselves mad, and you’re not taking it seriously. Did you steal Close to the Horizon guild’s treasure or what?"

"Me, steal treasure? Heh, that’s really funny. The BOSS isn’t even dead, how could I possibly steal their treasure?"

Su Ran scoffed as if he heard the funniest joke in the world. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Don’t mind them, let them say what they want, if you’re upright, you don’t fear a crooked shadow."

This Sun Soul Stone in my possession is priceless, but in the hands of another player, it’s worthless. It seems Carving Dragon has no idea what this stone is for, that’s why he’s coming after me for it.

Su Ran couldn’t care less about them.

"I knew it; how could big bro be that kind of person? Just do your thing, I’ll get the place back for you!"

Big Blood Bull was very loyal, taking the responsibility upon himself, "Don’t worry, I’ll use an anonymous account. I absolutely have to curse them out till they doubt their existence!"

"..."

Hearing this, Su Ran let him do as he pleased.

"Next, it’s time to find Yin Si; I’m going to get fleeced again, sigh."

Su Ran’s first impression of Yin Si was that of a cunning merchant. Knowing he’d be ripped off and still shamelessly seeking him out shows just how strong the cunning merchant’s power is, one can’t help but admire it.

But before he even reached Yin Si’s place, the friend notification sounded again. This time it was from Close to the Horizon.

"Overturning Water, you’ve doomed me! After logging on, I’m surrounded by toads; can’t even run away. Thanks to you, both my sis and I were killed."

"You guys didn’t lose much from dying, did you?"

It was then that Su Ran remembered he had forgotten about these two sisters.

"What could we lose? You think we’re like you, losing a level for every kill? That punishment would be too harsh. Overturning Water, what exactly happened while we were gone? How did that Purple Frog boss get so huge?"

Close to the Horizon’s voice was full of confusion; everything had changed after she had been offline for just a moment.

"We have to start from when those players arrived..."

Guilty, Su Ran summarized the important details, especially the part about prying out the quest item. Wasn’t the world channel so noisy exactly because of this stone?

"Overturning Water, you’ve really got some nerve, daring to pry at such a dangerous boss. What if something had happened? How would you handle that?"

"It’s okay, aren’t I doing fine? It’s all in the past, don’t worry about these useless things."

From Close to the Horizon’s words, it was not hard to hear her heartfelt blaming and concern. The more Su Ran thought about it, the more awkward he felt. Is it really okay for sisters to be handling things this way?

Thinking about this, Su Ran wanted to question Yu Jing. To help her sister out, she had sold out her boyfriend; who does things like that?

"You say don’t think about it, but you see how fierce the world channel is! You’ve already offended several big guilds, and now, you’ve added Close to the Horizon. It seems you won’t stop until you stir up the heavens!"

"Overturning Water, don’t try to be a hero alone. If these guilds band together against you, what good would being invincible do? I’ll be frank, they could push you out of the game!"

"Guilds joining forces? Against me?"

After Close to the Horizon’s reminder, it dawned on Su Ran, and he excitedly sent a message, "Guild Leader Close to the Horizon, thanks for the heads up, I know what to do next!"

"Good that you understand. If it really comes down to it, just hand over the item to them. Better not to do the quest than to create enemies. Think about your future; it’s smarter to have fewer enemies."

Su Ran had no time for idle chat. He opened the world channel and glanced over the rolling messages. The words Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained were so numerous they hurt his eyes; it was hard not to see them!

He organized his thoughts and sent a declaration to the world channel, ignoring Close to the Horizon’s advice like wind past his ears.

"There’s always some scoundrels trying to bring me down; can’t even keep a low profile! Listen up, Close to the Horizon, I’m currently at the Dark Abyss. If you’ve got the guts, come at me! Oh, and it’s better if you come at noon, because there will be trouble at dawn and dusk!"

Su Ran was ready. He planned to lure Close to the Horizon’s forces to the Dark Abyss -- using them to get rid of enemies was one part of the plan, and incidentally, he could also complete the Skeleton Saint’s quest. Moreover, Dai Xuan wouldn’t let Dark Abyss, this juicy piece of land, be snatched by Close to the Horizon and would definitely send troops to hold the fort, providing a perfect chance to take the Evil Spirit beast. Not to miss such a deal that killed three birds with one stone!

Most importantly, Su Ran posted in the world channel anonymously. Doing good deeds without leaving a name was his consistent style.
