232: At the cocktail party, Tianzhu players appeared

“Alas, don't even mention it. The realm barrier has shattered.”

Zhao Meng said to Qin Tian.

Then he briefly explained the earlier meeting to Qin Tian, including the arrival of Zhuge Xing Tian.

Originally, Zhao Meng had intended to tell Qin Tian immediately.

But seeing Qin Tian, he got excited and forgot.

Later, Qin Tian was talking to Murong Mingyue, so Zhao Meng didn't disturb him.

After all, Zhuge Xing Tian had already arrived, and the They Substitute Heaven Guild he spoke of were all Chinese experts above Level 250.

Although Qin Tian was very strong, he was only Level 100 when they last parted ways.

While his leveling speed was that of a genius among geniuses,

even a genius needed time to grow.

In such a short time, Zhao Meng felt that it was already quite remarkable for Qin Tian to have reached Level 150.

And now, Zhuge Xing Tian and his group were all experts above Level 250. Even if Qin Tian reached Level 200, he would still be a bit behind.

“It’s a pity. If only you had been born a few years earlier.”

Zhao Meng couldn't help but say.

Now that the realm barrier had shattered, all level-tiered areas were interconnected.

Qin Tian's leveling talent seemed somewhat insufficient now.

After all, the true top experts had already reached max level, and Qin Tian still had a very, very long way to go to reach max level.

Now was no longer the time to compete on talent; it had become a competition of resources.

After all, high-level players could bring low-level players to level up.

Good leveling areas would definitely be monopolized by major factions.

“Let’s go. Take me to where their banquet is.”

Qin Tian suddenly said, and Zhao Meng was stunned.

“Alright, it’s good to see it, but don’t be discouraged. After all, they trained for over ten or even decades to reach that level. Your talent is better than theirs, and it won’t take you long to reach their level.”

Zhao Meng thought Qin Tian wanted to go see the excitement and, fearing Qin Tian would be discouraged, gave him a heads-up.

Qin Tian didn't explain this.

He wasn't going to see the excitement.

Instead, he remembered the God Race distribution map he had seen with Void Master and Zhou Tong earlier.

There were also God Race members in Tianzhu.

And their location was right next to the Beginner Area where Qin Tian currently was.

Now that the realm barrier had completely shattered, the God Race inside had also come out.

It was highly likely that Zhuge Xing Tian and his group would face not only invasions from Tianzhu players but also encounters with the God Race.

After all, all the God Race members Qin Tian had encountered before had a habit of colluding with human players.

The Evil God of Sakura Country was like this, and the God of Curse of Western Xiu Continent was also like this.

Using players' strength to deal with players and absorbing players as sacrifices was a common tactic of the God Race.

Qin Tian and Zhao Meng left the Goblin dungeon together.

Walking through Newbie Main City, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, Qin Tian also felt a sense of being in another world.

Although less than a month had passed since he left, too many things had happened during this time.

From being reborn and gaining the Billion-Fold Upgrade talent, Qin Tian had not rested for a single day.

By the time Qin Tian and Zhao Meng entered Newbie Main City, it was already evening.

From a distance, they could hear cheers and laughter.

As Qin Tian and Zhao Meng approached, a large number of Chinese players appeared in their field of vision.

“Mr. Zhao, you’re back.”

Guild Leader Zhang, carrying a jar of wine, walked towards Qin Tian and Zhao Meng.

“I told you there was nothing to worry about. You’re just too cautious. Come, let me introduce you. This is President Ren Tianxing, Mr. Ren, the Guild Leader of They Substitute Heaven Guild.”

Saying this, Guild Leader Zhang pulled Zhao Meng directly into the crowd.

Zhao Meng was quite a well-known figure here, and all the Chinese players made way for him.

The players of They Substitute Heaven Guild also looked at Zhao Meng with some curiosity.

During their recent conversation, they had been discussing the shattering of the realm barrier, and the topic naturally revolved around Zhao Meng, the leader of the alliance here.

Although their strength was much greater than Zhao Meng's, their status was still somewhat lower than his.

Especially now that the realm barrier had shattered, strength was not the only criterion for measuring a person.

Identity, status, and leadership ability were sometimes more important than pure strength.

After all, it was easy to get a thousand soldiers, but difficult to find a single general. Players with leadership ability were rare talents.

As long as a faction was willing to invest resources in nurturing them, improving their level and combat power was extremely simple.

Qin Tian, who was beside Zhao Meng, was naturally overlooked by everyone, who assumed he was a member of Thunder Guild, accompanying Zhao Meng.

“This must be Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, I presume. I’ve heard much about you.”

Ren Tianxing, stout in build and carrying a shield on his back, clasped his hands towards Zhao Meng.

As the Guild Leader of They Substitute Heaven Guild, he was already Level 268, over 200 levels higher than Zhao Meng, but he did not underestimate Zhao Meng because of this.

Zhao Meng also clasped his hands in return: “You all have come a long way. I, Zhao, should have played the host, but unfortunately, the realm barrier has shattered, and the current situation is still unclear. I had no choice but to settle my guild members first, so I apologize for any neglect.”

Before Ren Tianxing could speak, Guild Leader Zhang interjected: “Mr. Zhao, you see now, President Ren brought over a hundred experts from Tianxing Guild this time, all above Tier Five. As for those small Tianzhu players next door, as long as they dare to come, we’ll kill them so they can’t return.”

“Hurry up and tell your guild members to come out of the Goblin dungeon and join the banquet. Let’s liven things up.”

Hearing Guild Leader Zhang mention that Thunder Guild's players were in the Goblin dungeon, Ren Tianxing also became interested.

As a high-level player, he had heard that it was possible to enter monster dungeons without being attacked, or even be treated as allies, but that required extremely high faction favorability and even the completion of some extremely demanding quests.

He had previously thought Guild Leader Zhang was just bragging while drunk, but seeing him bring it up to Zhao Meng again in person confirmed that it was true, and his evaluation of Zhao Meng rose another notch.

“Alright, Mr. Zhao might have his considerations. It’s fine. After our banquet, I’ll lead people to clear out the Tianzhu players next door. Once it’s completely safe, it won’t be too late to let everyone out. At that time, I hope Mr. Zhao can take me to see it. Speaking of which, I haven’t truly had in-depth contact with other races in the game.”

Ren Tianxing said with a smile.

When faction favorability reached a certain level, extremely rare items and materials could be purchased from monster factions. This was his intention.

“I need to discuss this with our Vice President.”

Zhao Meng did not immediately agree.

Entering the Goblin Home was no small matter. Without Qin Tian’s consent, he would not casually bring people in.

Ren Tianxing frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling a bit displeased, but ultimately did not show it. He hadn't expected Zhao Meng to give him so little face.

Could it be that he, as the Guild Leader of They Substitute Heaven Guild, was inferior to the Vice President of a beginner guild?

Ren Tianxing was about to erupt when Zhuge Xing Tian quickly walked over and whispered into Ren Tianxing's ear:

“Guild Leader, Tianzhu players have appeared outside.”

Upon hearing this news, the smile on Ren Tianxing’s face instantly returned. He looked at Zhao Meng with a smile:

“Then I, Ren, will await good news from President Zhao. A few Tianzhu players have arrived outside. Let’s go together and see them.”

These Tianzhu players had arrived at just the right time.

It was a perfect opportunity to let Zhao Meng witness the true strength of their Tier Five players.

Once they saw them in action and understood the true terror of Tier Five experts, Zhao Meng’s attitude would surely change instantly.

Without him, Ren Tianxing, even needing to speak, Zhao Meng would probably try to curry favor with him.

At that time, entering the Goblin tribe and obtaining some rare items and materials would become a matter of course.
