The Plains Watcher sighed and said, “This has been the talk of the town for the past two days. Everyone found this map. It was marked as a level ten map, full of monsters and abundant in experience. Plus, the Minotaur specifically released a task guide for this area.”

“And then?”

“After that, everyone thought in their usual online gaming fashion. They thought such a great mission given by the NPC must be a good opportunity. So, most Minotaurs over level ten came here. They even got free rides on old military vehicles, which was great.”

A mischievous glint flashed across the Plains Watcher’s face as he continued, “But when crowds arrived, and were doing various tasks here, inevitably they would run into a pack of wolves, and most would be wiped out. They cursed in frustration and we nearly had a riot on our hands, only the intervention of the army held things down.”

“So what? Just wild wolves, other maps have them too,” some members said obviously in disbelief.

“Indeed. Just wolves. But how about hundreds, even thousands of filled wolves, can you kill them all?” Plains Watcher snorted.

“How could it be so cruel, hundreds, thousands, how can we play?”

“Holy shit, the guild leader brought us here to level up as a group. Does he want us to kill wolves?”

“You’re such an idiot. Once you’ve accepted the task, of course, you have to face the wolf pack.”

“Although I consider myself a pro, but we only have over two hundred people. Even if we all deal with hundreds of wolves, the experience is limited. It doesn’t seem worth it.”

“You think too much. Better think about how to change the guild leader’s mind. If we encounter thousands of wolves, we’re as good as dead.”

While the members were discussing, Li Yao and his team came out to meet the members.

“I’ve seen your discussions. However, I have plans. I guarantee a safe and rapid leveling up,” Li Yao said reassuringly.

The Plains Watcher said, “Guild leader, it’s not that we don’t trust you. It’s just that these wolves appear unpredictably, making them impossible to defend against. If we are surrounded, certain death awaits us.”

“I know. Today’s guild activity is voluntary. If you think it’s dangerous and don’t trust me, you don’t have to join,” said Li Yao. “Take a minute to decide.”

The members talked in low voices. The choice was tough. Many of them were already over halfway to level ten. If they messed up, they would lose a level.

Entering the first level, they wouldn’t fall to level nine, but it would take a long time to gain back half of the experience at level ten.

Not all players who joined the guild were here for Li Yao. Many joined because the guild had good welfare, which they felt could help their development and provide more benefits.

“Guild leader, sorry, I have something to do.”

“Guild leader, damn, my wife is calling for me to contribute some victuals.”

“Guild leader, I also have something important.”

“Guild leader, I received a call. It’s important. Look.”

“No problem. As I said, today’s activity is optional. If you don’t want to go, that’s fine. But let me make it clear: once you leave, you can’t join again,” Li Yao declared. “Sis Li, please open the door to the main city for them.”

“Damn, a bunch of cowards.”

“Playing a game and being such a coward, huh.”

“These people, really, it’s so funny.”

The remaining outspoken members didn’t hold back their criticisms.

A total of forty-five members chose to leave, leaving fewer than two hundred and fifty.

“Guild leader, I shouldn’t have spoken so rashly.” The Plains Watcher said apologetically.

“It’s okay. Even if you didn’t say it. I would’ve. It’s always better to clarify things upfront,” Li Yao’s expression was as composed as ever, “Let’s go. Just follow me.”

Everyone immediately followed behind Li Yao.

In the elder channel, Li Yao asked, “Did you record the names of these people?”

Feng Yi replied, “All recorded.”

“Damn, are you going to retaliate against them? You just said it was voluntary, didn’t you?” The Guardian Angel queried.

“It was voluntary, indeed. But I didn’t say I wouldn’t treat them differently,” Li Yao replied coolly.

“You guys are scheming. Truly a match made in heaven,” The Guardian Angel joked. “Honey, we should be careful.”

“Idiot.” The Fruit Knight turned away disdainfully.

Sis Li explained, “It’s not about being scheming or not. We can’t trust or rely on these people. They should just be ordinary guild members, not suitable for promotion to management.”

“Why?” Daimeng Tongtong asked.

“Because they only want benefits without risking anything. Although this is the nature of most people, they can’t share weal and woe with the guild. Even though doing so might lead to good people being wronged, there’s no choice. With so many people, we can only filter them like this. Don’t forget, we need to select people to add to the core group,” Sis Li explained.

“I agree. I excluded them because they lack audacity. Even if they have good skills now, their achievements are still limited. What I need are bold warriors, not hesitant foxes,” Li Yao elaborated.

“I feel sorry for these people. You have so many ideas, and it won’t be long before they regret it, right?” The Guardian Angel lamented pityingly.

The group, lead by Li Yao, wandered around the endless grassland, making people dizzy. The sky was gloomy, and there were no landmarks at all.

“Damn it, is this the dangerous Endless Plains as you said? Where are the wolves? Although there are many other scattered monsters, where are the wolf packs you mentioned?” asked Xiao Bing: Happiness is a disease.

“This can’t be, we haven’t seen a single wolf for half an hour. This place is definitely cursed. Guild leader, I was wrong,” the Plains Watcher said with a face on the verge of tears.

Feng Yi laughed and said, “You’re not wrong. It is right not to encounter any wolves.”

“Why?” Happiness is a Disease asked, voicing everyone’s confusion.

Daimeng Tongtong pointed at the flaming red dot in the sky, which was the guild pet Firehawk, and said, “You’re all so dumb. The guild leader’s pet is scouting from the sky. If he finds a wolf pack, he just takes a detour, so you can’t see any wolves.”

“Indeed, the guild leader made arrangements already,” Happiness is a Disease said, enlightenment dawning on his face.

“This workaround works, the many players that got killed will regret it for sure.”

“That’s a real hunter. I’m convinced. From now on, a hunter is indispensable for outdoor team activities.”

“We’re here,” Li Yao pointed at the small landform in the distance. “This used to be a river. Due to the war, it dried up and formed a landform similar to a sky wall.”

What Li Yao pointed at looked like a small mountain range that had been cut into half in the middle, forming a crevasse that resembled a narrow skylight.

“I’m going to set up a rope for you to climb up. Report anyone who can cast area damage spells now, then Li Sis can divide them into two groups and move them to the two mountain peaks. After that, just follow the command and I guarantee you will level up quickly.”

As he was speaking, under the envious gazes of the members, he released the Angel’s Wing and soared skyward, quickly flying towards the distant mountains.

The mountain is a few dozen yards high, and with a great angle, climbing up is impossible. Only special methods can do the trick.

Li Yao smiled slightly. This was the sense of contrast he wanted to create, gradually getting them to understand that following him was the best choice, and gradually establishing his authority…
