What a terrible paradise lost!
The heads of the major guilds vied with each other to recruit Chen Ming.
Primarily because the strength Chen Ming displayed was truly astonishing.
If they could successfully recruit him into their guild, he would undoubtedly become a top-tier powerhouse as long as he continued to grow normally.
The elite members of the various guilds watching from the side were green with envy, wishing they could take his place.
Good heavens!
A salary of hundreds of millions of gold coins, an Epic-grade Ranger Set, a first-tier guild executive position... these conditions were simply too generous; any one of them would be enough to drive most players wild.
Chen Ming's expression remained unchanged as he flatly refused, "Everyone, I'm used to being lazy and have no intention of joining a guild for the time being."
The terms offered by these guilds seemed generous, but to Chen Ming, they held no temptation whatsoever.
A salary of hundreds of millions of gold coins?
If Chen Ming wanted, never mind hundreds of millions, even billions or tens of billions of gold coins would be easy to come by.
Besides, the gold remaining in his account already exceeded a hundred million.
An Epic-grade Ranger Set?
The equipment he currently wore could completely crush any so-called Epic-grade Ranger Set.
As for being a first-tier guild executive?
That was even more laughable, given his top-tier talent and the memories of his past life in his mind.
In the future, Chen Ming would surely stand above all the endless civilizations and races.
A mere first-tier executive position in a top guild was beneath him.
Besides, he had no intention of becoming someone else's lackey.
"Brother Calamity, why don't you reconsider? As the saying goes, even a hero needs help. No matter how strong you are individually, you can't compare to the power of a team."
The head of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance guild refused to give up and continued to persuade him.
"If I need help, it only means I'm not strong enough!"
Chen Ming replied nonchalantly and, without further ado, turned and walked away.
"Boss, this kid is way too arrogant."
"Recruiting him was giving him face, yet he doesn't know what's good for him."
"How about I take a few assassin brothers later and teach him a lesson."
Seeing Chen Ming being so dismissive, a lackey from the Ten Thousand Races Alliance guild spoke up sinisterly.
The expression of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance guild's head also turned somewhat ugly.
One must know that normally, many people have no chance of joining the Ten Thousand Races Alliance even if they wanted to.
Now, having offered such generous terms and proactively recruiting Chen Ming, the man hadn't given him any face at all.
"He's got character!"
The head of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance took a deep breath. Although he was angry, he still stepped in to stop his lackey.
"There's no need for us to act."
"He wiped out Paradise Lost. With the temperament of those people in Paradise Lost, they will definitely move against him."
"We'll just sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight."
"If Paradise Lost wins, it'll count as venting some frustration for us."
"If Paradise Lost loses, we'll decide then whether or not to act."
To have reached the position of a first-tier executive in the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, he was naturally no fool.
He wouldn't let his emotions be swayed by such a small matter... On the other side.
Inside Russell Fortress,
As the elite members of Paradise Lost emerged from the respawn point, they let out a series of wails and howls.
Simply because the same notification appeared before all of them at once.
[Notification: You have been killed by player [Calamity]. The effect of Arrow of Misfortune has been triggered.]
[Luck Attribute: -5 points.]
[Max HP: -50,000 points.]
[Max MP: -50,000 points.]
..."Holy crap, why do my health and mana bars only have 1 point left?"
"Why has my Luck attribute become a negative number?"
"What the hell is this Bad Luck Buff!"
Under the effect of the Arrow of Misfortune, the Max HP and Max MP of the Paradise Lost elite members were mostly reduced to just 1 point.
Their Luck attribute had even become negative.
Right now, they were no different from trash.
"Damn that Calamity! It's all because of him that we've become useless."
"Boss, you must avenge us."
Everyone turned their gaze toward [Paradise Lost - Jiu Zhong].
[Paradise Lost - Jiu Zhong]'s expression was also exceptionally grim at this moment.
After this wave, Paradise Lost had completely lost any chance in this World Event.
It was foreseeable that as the person in charge of this World Event, he would surely face severe punishment from the guild's higher-ups after it ended.
"Calamity!"
"If I'm going to have a hard time, you'll pay the price too."
"Gather all the brothers in the guild. Today, that Calamity must pay the price."
[Paradise Lost - Jiu Zhong] immediately began calling for backup.
But just then, a shout suddenly rang out not far away.
"Someone! A piece of trash from the Undead Faction has infiltrated the fortress."
"Catch him!"
As that voice rang out, Akalisi's figure appeared silently behind the members of the Paradise Lost guild.
"Hehe, meeting me... consider it your bad luck."
With those words, Akalisi began an indiscriminate slaughter.
Had it been before, the elite members of Paradise Lost naturally wouldn't have feared Akalisi; they might even have easily killed him in return.
But now, affected by the Arrow of Misfortune, most of the Paradise Lost members had only 1 point of HP and MP left, unable to cast even a single skill.
In almost the blink of an eye, they were instantly killed by Akalisi.
"People from the Paradise Lost guild?"
"So weak?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Akalisi's eyes.
He naturally knew of the existence of the Paradise Lost guild.
What he couldn't understand was how a major guild ranked in the top hundred could have such weak members.
However, facing the pursuit of a large number of Alliance Faction players behind him, he couldn't afford to think too much. He immediately entered stealth and vanished on the spot... On the other side.
After Chen Ming left again, he soon met up with Little Gray, the Ice Abyss Dragon, and the Undead Lord.
"Roar, roar!!"
Seeing Chen Ming's arrival, Little Gray stopped its slaughter and flew affectionately to Chen Ming's side.
[Universal Emperor Dragon - Little Gray Lv13]
Under this nearly endless slaughter, in just the ten or so minutes they were apart...
Little Gray's level had reached 13, and all its attributes had surged once again.
"At this growth rate, it probably won't be long before it completely surpasses me."
Chen Ming smiled and patted Little Gray's head, then leaped onto the Ice Abyss Dragon and joined in the slaughter.
After all, the double points time was limited and could not be missed.
Even though Chen Ming's current points had already completely surpassed everyone else in this World Event.
[Points Leaderboard]
[1st: Calamity — 5,000,000 points.]
[2nd: Ten Thousand Races Alliance - Star Daoist — 2,550,000 points.]
[3rd: Holy Light — 2,000,000 points.]
[4th: Hand of God - Blue Fist — 1,850,000 points.]
..."Well done!"
Chen Ming smiled and praised Little Gray.
More than half of the 5,000,000 points were contributed by Little Gray, the Ice Abyss Dragon, and the Undead Lord.
"Roar, roar!!"
Hearing Chen Ming's praise, Little Gray let out a dragon roar and became even more excited while killing undead creatures.
Just then, a notification suddenly popped up before all players.
[Notification: The second wave of the Undead Army has been dispatched. The bounty target: Headless Knight Commander (Level 40 Dark Gold Grade Boss) has arrived.]
