20: Yun Qingruo, assassinate the goddess!

While Lin Yue was mired in doubt regarding the gods, on the internet...

The edited video posted by This wave wont lose had already stayed at the top of the trending searches.

Most ordinary players were just watching for the spectacle, mainly to admire White Emperor's reputation; after all, his operational details were so meticulous that they couldn't spot any issues in the short term.

The game had only been live for a day, so it was normal that people couldn't grasp many of the technical aspects.

However, the value of this short, minute-long video was completely different in the eyes of major clubs.

Analysts from large clubs such as War God, Rise, and Dragon Soar found to their surprise after frame-by-frame analysis that the gaming techniques White Emperor displayed far exceeded even his reputation.

At the analysts' summons, the guild leaders of various major guilds were forced to log off to watch the analysis video.

When these guild leaders patiently finished watching the analysis video, almost all of them sucked in a breath of cold air.

If a professional player's reaction speed is 1, then a top-tier professional player's reaction speed should be 2 or 3.

Yet, the reaction speed White Emperor displayed directly exceeded 5.

What does this mean? It means White Emperor's reaction speed has reached the human limit, or perhaps even surpassed it?

How did he do it?

This was the question that popped into the minds of all the guild leaders simultaneously.

That series of operational techniques could no longer be described simply as fast reactions; the word "anticipation" seemed more appropriate.

They now bitterly realized that offering a hundred million to invite White Emperor was practically an insult to him.

With his anti-human reaction speed and mechanics, even a billion wouldn't be excessive.

But then another problem arose: which guild could afford a billion to invite a Solo Player?

The guild leaders of all the major guilds fell into deep thought.

Overlord Guild's offline meeting room.

The noble youth, Overlord Invincible, logged off to convene an emergency meeting.

In the meeting room, several of the club's analysts and the guild's management had all arrived.

"Nephew, I didn't see much in this video either. I think this White Emperor must have some special evasion talent to escape that kind of triangular encirclement."

Tyrant Fire was the first to speak. He was Overlord Invincible's uncle and had only entered management through the back door of nepotism. His own understanding of the game was complete nonsense, so he couldn't see the scalp-tingling operational skills White Emperor possessed.

"No one will think you're a mute if you keep your mouth shut."

Overlord Invincible's expression was gloomy, giving his uncle no Face at all.

"Also, when we're at the company, call me Young Lord!"

Tyrant Fire immediately wilted, not daring to speak.

"Has anyone else noticed anything? There will be a reward for the right answer."

Overlord Invincible scanned the room, his tone brooks no argument.

"Boss, his reactions are very fast, likely exceeding those of average professional players. There are some moves even I can't pull off."

"Very good. Anyone else? Overlord Divine Bow, I'm talking to you."

Overlord Invincible called out Overlord Divine Bow; if it weren't for him, the Overlord Guild wouldn't have provoked a player like White Emperor.

Overlord Divine Bow's expression turned solemn: "Young Lord, we athletes have certain professional terms. For players with extremely high or even Heaven-Defying talent, we jokingly call them 'Limit Players'."

"A so-called Limit Player refers to someone whose physical reaction speed, stamina, or other aspects have reached the human limit."

"The operational skills White Emperor displayed are undoubtedly Limit Reactions—no, it's possible he's even surpassed the limit."

At this point, Overlord Divine Bow sighed again: "I can say without exaggeration that if anyone from our Overlord Guild encounters White Emperor, there is almost no chance of survival."

After hearing Overlord Divine Bow's explanation, Overlord Invincible's expression finally softened a bit; at least not everyone in the guild was mediocre.

However, Tyrant Fire couldn't restrain himself and said with a sneer, "I say, Divine Bow, you're making it sound too mystical. What kind of waves can White Emperor stir up alone? Can our entire guild not handle him?"

"Besides, we just tried to snatch one BOSS from him, and the point is we didn't even succeed. Is he really going to make an enemy of a major guild like ours?"

Tyrant Fire's words weren't without merit, and many in management nodded in agreement.

Overlord Invincible glared coldly at Tyrant Fire, then looked back at Overlord Divine Bow.

"Divine Bow, what do you think?"

Overlord Divine Bow was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, stood up to Face everyone, and then said slowly, "I believe White Emperor's Heart-Nature is unpredictable. The stronger one is, the less they tolerate being offended by the weak. Clearly, in White Emperor's eyes, we are the weak ones."

As soon as he said this, the people present were in an uproar.

"Divine Bow, have you lost your mind? We are weak? Our strength isn't much lower than the top ten clubs."

"Even if the number one guild, the War God Club, came, they might not be able to take us down. Who does White Emperor think he is?"

"If White Emperor really dares to oppose Ba Tian, I'll be the first to step up. Whoever's afraid is a coward."

...The meeting room was in a hubbub until Overlord Invincible waved his hand, and the scene instantly fell silent.

He tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment, and announced: "It's already impossible to win over White Emperor. To prevent retaliation, double the size of the original five-man pioneering teams. However, while he has some strength, there's no need to worry too much. The guild will develop as usual."

"Young Lord!"

Overlord Divine Bow wanted to say more.

"Meeting adjourned!"

Overlord Invincible had already ended the meeting and turned to leave.

In the game, Lin Yue frowned as he left the Novice Village.

He had already completed one of the treasure of the gods quests, and it was impossible to stop now. Since he couldn't figure out the deeper meaning behind the quest, he could only follow the quest requirements for now.

PK is under Restriction in the Novice Village; if he wanted to kill other players, he could only go look for them at outdoor Grinding Spots.

Ideally, he would run into a few enemies, like those from the Overlord Guild, so he wouldn't have to kill innocent players.

Just as he was thinking, a message pop-up lit up; it was from Xia Moyanyu.

"Brother White Emperor, a good friend of mine is being cornered by a guild. Can you help her?"

Lin Yue's eyes lit up. He was just worrying about having no one to kill, and here they were, delivering themselves to his door.

"What's your friend's name?"

"Novice Village 2222, Yun Ruoqing, Level 8 Assassin!"

Seeing this ID, Lin Yue's pupils constricted sharply, his heart filled with shock.

Yun Ruoqing!!

If he remembered correctly, this woman was the only female player to reach the top ten on the global leaderboard as an Assassin!

In his past life, she was an existence he even had to look up to.

This woman's talent was definitely King-rank!

Lin Yue was secretly delighted; he really hadn't expected that Xia Moyanyu's good friend was Yun Ruoqing!

"I'm heading over now. Do you know which guild is cornering her?"

"Let me see... it seems to be called the Overlord Guild!"

Overlord Guild!

A cruel smile appeared at the corners of Lin Yue's mouth.

Enemies truly do meet on a narrow path!
