Chapter 611: 5V5

Indeed, the strength of the top-tier members of the Bull Man Tribe is truly enviable. What’s most frustrating is that despite spending large sums of money, Qin Han, Cao Xu, and others still couldn’t poach them. This group is highly loyal to the Bull Man Tribe, leaving Qin Han, Cao Xu, and others feeling helpless. With such a group present, the Bull Man Tribe will never collapse.

Many of the Bull Man Tribe’s top-tier members are real-life elites and very wealthy individuals. They entered the game merely to add enjoyment to their lives. Having found a sense of belonging within the Bull Man Tribe, they generally aren’t willing to leave. Therefore, it’s very difficult for Qin Han and Cao Xu to poach them, so they can only target the second-tier members. Some second-tier members, lacking sufficient financial resources, may agree to a transfer in pursuit of greater development opportunities.

The Blood Five had already taken the stage. They excel at coordination, and while their solo fighting abilities aren’t particularly strong, their combat effectiveness when working together is quite formidable. Previously, the Blue Wind Bell team had never won against the Blood Five.

“Where are Cold Shadow and Black & White?” asked the Undead Villain, frowning slightly.

“They’re still on their way,” said Ten-Li Huasha after checking. Cold Shadow and Black & White hadn’t arrived yet. Among their group, only she, the Undead Villain, Desire Youth, and Essential Demon were available to fight. Four spellcasters facing five rogues would surely be at a severe disadvantage, making it even harder to fight.

“Let’s wait for Cold Shadow and the others,” said the Undead Villain. Four spellcasters against five rogues was too disadvantageous. Even if they brought in a second-tier warrior, he’d probably be killed in just a few seconds by the Blood Five.

The Blood Five waited for a long time on the stage, but the Blue Wind Bell team still hadn’t appeared.

“Hey Blue Wind Bell, are you guys scared? You’ve been too slow to come up,” said Lie, making a mocking gesture.

“Blue Wind Bell, don’t tell me you’ve lost your nerve at the last moment?”

Lie, Feng, and others had suffered many defeats, losing face and being pushed to the brink. Thus, they were eager to regain some dignity through this team battle.

“Damn it,” cursed the Undead Villain, unable to suppress his anger. He really couldn’t stand the arrogant attitudes of the Blood Five.

“Why are Cold Shadow and the others taking so long?” asked Essential Demon, feeling frustrated.

“It seems they encountered a side quest that needs to be completed in Croatia City, or else the quest will expire. Let’s hold off a bit longer,” Ten-Li Huasha received a message from Cold Shadow and the others.

“Damn it, I’m getting really angry. Should we go up?” The Blood Five continued to provoke them, making the Undead Villain and others increasingly furious.

“Four of us should be enough,” said Essential Demon, gripping his staff confidently.

Ten-Li Huasha and the Undead Villain knew the strength of the others. With only four of them, it wouldn’t be sufficient.

However, being continuously insulted by the Blood Five in front of a large audience without responding would likely give others something to talk about. If Cold Shadow, Black & White, and the others didn’t arrive soon, they might be accused of cowardice.

“Fine, let’s go,” Desire Youth could no longer contain himself. He clenched his teeth and climbed onto the arena.

“They’re one person short; they might lose. What should we do?” Xie Yao turned to Nie Yan and asked.

“If it’s absolutely necessary, I’ll have to go,” Nie Yan thought for a moment. He estimated that once he stepped onto the battlefield, the Blood Five would be filled with despair. After a significant increase in his strength, Nie Yan alone would be enough to handle the Blood Five. Adding in the Undead Villain, Desire Youth, and others, the outcome of this team battle would be a foregone conclusion, making the match meaningless.

Nie Yan had just stood up when he saw a figure leap down from the audience stand on the opposite side of the arena. The figure landed lightly and walked toward the Blue Wind Bell side.

Seeing this figure, Nie Yan stopped in his tracks. It seemed this battle wouldn’t require him to intervene after all.

The person was none other than the recently joined member of the Bull Man Tribe, Not For Me. Not For Me had just signed an agreement with the Bull Man Tribe not long ago and hadn’t yet entered the core group of the Bull Man Tribe or become well-known among the players. Many people were still unfamiliar with the name Not For Me. When people mentioned the Bull Man Tribe’s rogues, they would think of Nie Yan, Sun, King of the World, and One Hit Love. If someone mentioned Not For Me, they would probably be confused and ask, “Who is Not For Me?” However, Not For Me’s strength was on par with Sun and King of the World. His equipment and skills were slightly inferior to theirs, but those were aspects that could be improved.

Seeing Not For Me appear, Nie Yan sat back down, feeling completely at ease. With Not For Me, the Undead Villain, Desire Youth, Ten-Li Huasha, and Essential Demon together, even Nie Yan himself wouldn’t have an easy time. Let alone the Blood Five.

“Would I be able to join?” Not For Me smiled as he looked at Ten-Li Huasha. He was a graduate of the First Military Academy, having graduated five or six years ago. He had received a notification and on a whim decided to attend the First Military Academy reunion, where he unexpectedly met Ten-Li Huasha and others. Seeing that their side was short one person, he came down to help.

“Welcome. We’re just short one person,” Ten-Li Huasha smiled brightly.

The elite members of the Bull Man Tribe often sparred together, so they had some knowledge of Not For Me’s strength.

“Now that Not For Me is here, we won’t have any problems. Let’s teach those Blood guys a good lesson,” said the Undead Villain, clenching his fist.

“First, join Blue Wind Bell, so we won’t leave room for criticism saying we brought in outside help.”

“Okay,” Not For Me nodded and joined the Blue Wind Bell organization.

“With Not For Me joining, Blue Wind Bell has become even stronger.”

The group climbed onto the arena together. The arena was very spacious, about 100 by 100 yards, suitable for team battles.

Not For Me’s appearance attracted the attention of everyone present.

“Is that rogue also from the Bull Man Tribe? I’ve never seen him before.”

“Probably Blue Wind Bell just grabbed someone at random to make up the numbers since Cold Shadow, Black & White, and the others weren’t here.”

Everyone was discussing, and since Not For Me had previously kept a very low profile and remained unknown, most people didn’t know who he was. They were all somewhat curious about Not For Me. From the way Not For Me spoke with the Undead Villain and others, it was clear they were quite familiar with each other. Moreover, when Not For Me appeared, the Undead Villain and others seemed very excited. Could this rogue actually be a high-level player?

“Among the rogues of the Bull Man Tribe, besides Sun, King of the World, One Hit Love, Fallen Frog, and Wudao, the others probably can’t match the Blood Five?”

“Although the Blood Five were recently defeated repeatedly, we must admit that among rogues, these guys are indeed well-known. If Blue Wind Bell’s Cold Shadow and Black & White aren’t present and they just grab someone at random to make up the numbers, they might lose.”

The ten players were all on the battlefield now. Ming, Lie, and others glanced at Not For Me with a hint of disdain. Blue Wind Bell actually let such an unknown rookie take the stage; it was truly incomprehensible. They held themselves in high regard, and among the Bull Man Tribe’s rogues, only Nie Yan, Sun, King of the World, and a few others were worthy of their respect.

The battle was about to begin.

As the audience in the stands were discussing noisily, Cold Shadow and Black & White and others entered from the front.

Two warriors wearing full sets of metal armor immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“It’s Cold Shadow and Black & White. They’re back.”

“Blue Wind Bell might request a substitution now.”

Cold Shadow looked at Ten-Li Huasha and smiled apologetically. “We arrived late.” His gaze fell on Not For Me, and he paused for a moment before nodding in greeting.

“Not expecting to see you here,” Cold Shadow smiled.

“Now that you’re here, you can take over,” said Not For Me, preparing to step down.

Cold Shadow quickly stopped Not For Me. “You guys are doing fine. Black & White and I would rather take it easy.”

To everyone’s surprise, Blue Wind Bell didn’t request a substitution, making Not For Me’s strength worth further consideration.

Ming, Lie, and others became more cautious in their attitude toward Not For Me.

The audience in the stands were watching the central arena intently.

“Who is that rogue?” Qin Han turned to Fang Rujie beside him and asked.

“I’ve never seen this person before. He should be a graduate who left school many years ago. He’s never participated in any gatherings before,” Fang Rujie replied. Not For Me was very low-key, and even many classmates didn’t know he played the game.

Nie Yan’s low profile was to avoid trouble and to be able to do his own things peacefully. Not For Me, however, was truly low-key. If Blue Wind Bell hadn’t encountered some difficulties today, he wouldn’t have appeared at all. In a previous life, it wasn’t until Not For Me completed his class change into a Holy Shadow Dancer that his name became well-known among players, showing how deeply he had hidden himself.

Everyone present knew nothing about Not For Me, which made them increasingly feel that Not For Me was mysterious and unpredictable.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the duel finally began. The Blood Five, including Ming, all entered stealth mode. Not For Me’s eyes flashed red, and he also entered stealth.

Desire Youth, Essential Demon, Ten-Li Huasha, and the Undead Villain quickly spread out. Each of them had their own methods for dealing with rogues.

Ten-Li Huasha waved her staff, casting a Light Spell that soared into the sky, letting down a cascade of white light.

Through the white light, several figures darted past, and three rogues quickly surrounded Ten-Li Huasha.

“Die!” Ming hissed with killing intent, his body shifting as the dagger in his hand traced an arc, aiming for the back of Ten-Li Huasha’s head.
