Chapter 97: Seven Players Who Have Undergone a Complete Transformation!

Chapter 97 Seven Players Who Have Undergone a Complete Transformation (Part 1)!

There are only seven people. No matter how skilled they are... they can't be that skilled, right?

That's what the tough guy was thinking. After all... before we all came in, we were all a group of people who were being exploited and suffering, weren't we?

Even if you get a wave of experience points, how much will that really boost your level? That Wang Gou Dan is probably already a level 2000+ player. Not everyone is the Wang Gou Dan they're talking about. Of course, a level 20+ extraordinary class player is certainly worth being wary of...

As the muscular man thought this, he never expected that a major event was taking place outside the city gates in Beihai, one of the three major guilds!

Unlike the Hunting Grounds, the North Sea Guild's main business is maritime trade. The lower-level players are sailors, while the middle-level players are assassins responsible for monitoring the sailors.

On deck, agile assassins are more threatening and are the backbone of maintaining the ship's security.

Although steam technology and cannons have appeared on ships, the most effective way to fight on ordinary pirate ships is still to board them. In the ship's environment, agile melee classes dominate, especially those with extraordinary agility.

In confined spaces, assassins with extraordinary abilities can often silently kill an entire ship's crew, which is extremely terrifying. A small boat and a top assassin can bring devastating power just by getting close to a merchant ship.

Aside from imperial ships and some large merchant vessels, ordinary ships all need bodyguards, and the North Sea Society, which is skilled at training assassins, is the choice of many mid- to low-level maritime merchants.

The situation is actually quite similar to that of the hunting grounds. In order to get good orders, the guild needs to have outstanding assassins. The top fighters of the North Sea Guild are all assassins, and the middle-level members are also assassins. However, there is a big difference between ordinary assassins and outstanding assassins.

Typically, a merchant ship would have seven or eight mid-level assassins responsible for guarding and maintaining order, while the real ace fighters, ensuring the ship wouldn't be hunted down by outside assassins, were the guild's top fighters.

Because of the difference in their roles, most of the profits from each ship were distributed to the high-level assassins.

Ordinary assassins face the first wave of vigilance, and are always at risk of becoming cannon fodder and dying at the hands of the top assassins of those pirate forces. However, each time a mission is successfully escorted, most of the benefits go to the high-level assassin who is only responsible for deterrence.

Over the years, the rule of the Beihai Society has been more stable and bloodier than that of the Hunting Grounds.

Once someone in the Beihai Society is trained to be an assassin, they are not allowed to leave. Unlike the Hunting Grounds, where at least they can pretend to be free to come and go and make empty promises, the Beihai Society's system has been very clear since its first bloody internal crackdown.

Assassins trained by the guild can never leave the guild for life and must go on missions, because there is a high probability that an assassin will go solo. If you want to have a large number of assassins working for you, you must have strict control measures.

This time is no different.

When the group of players representing the Beihai Association returned, they were subjected to the most rigorous interrogation by the Beihai Association's president.

Guild leader Qinghu is a very cautious person. Since the rebellion ten years ago, he has never trusted anyone, because he knows better than anyone that the mid-level assassins in the guild have no loyalty whatsoever.

Many of them are veteran assassins who have been exploited for over a decade. Many have extensive combat experience and would obviously have a better future if they went solo. However, they are locked into the guild, and anyone who tries to go independent will face relentless assassination attempts.

This might be difficult to achieve in other guilds, but it's possible in the North Sea Guild. Nobody wants to be targeted by a group of assassins for their entire life, especially assassins who know your background.

"You mean, after you went in, apart from the color changing, there were no other problems?"

"Yes..." A somewhat short and chubby man nodded. He was the team leader, named Tangyuan.

"Show your backpacks."

All players agreed to open their inventory space as requested by Guild Leader Qinghu, allowing the top players of the Beihai Guild to inspect it one by one.

"Check your clothes too." The president waved his hand dismissively: "Take off all your clothes!"

Many valuable items don't necessarily need to be kept in your backpack. This is a lesson he learned a long time ago. Some clever players used to be unusually quick to accept backpack checks, but they kept the truly valuable items hidden on their person. This is a classic case of being blind to what's right under your nose.

When inspecting their subordinates, upper-level managers subconsciously check the players' inventory, which is the most hidden storage location for players, but it is easily overlooked. In fact, players can also hide things on their person.

"Boss, isn't this unnecessary?" Tangyuan frowned. There were two girls in the group. Although it wasn't the first time they had been searched, there were still so many people outside the city.

"Hey..." Green Fox nodded: "Tangyuan, how many years have you been with me?"

"Fifteen years, boss."

"Your name suits your figure perfectly. No matter how much you exercise over the years, it seems like you just can't lose weight."

"I'm also very troubled..." Tangyuan smiled wryly, "Maybe there's something wrong with this character's genes."

"No..." Qinghu approached. As the president of the Beihai Guild, he was the oldest among all the players. When he was modeling the character, he used a middle-aged model and filled in the age of thirty. After transmigrating for twenty years, he is now over fifty years old.

After twenty years of fighting at sea, the once passionate guild leader has become a scheming and gloomy old man. Although his hair is dyed black and shiny, the signs of aging on his face are unavoidable, making him seem very distant from other players who are in their prime.

"You are slightly overweight, which easily gives people the impression that you are not self-disciplined. Therefore, many of the captains in the fleet back then did not consider you as a competitor. Only I know that you are an extremely self-disciplined person. It is terrifying that an extremely self-disciplined person can maintain this physique."

"What is the boss saying?" Tangyuan smiled bitterly. "After following you for so many years, I'm the one who's done the worst, aren't I? You said I'm a piece of mud that can't be plastered on a wall."

"Perhaps..." Qinghu smiled. "All these years, the spot for the extraordinary has never been yours. Don't you hate me?"

"How could I dare..." Tangyuan quickly waved her hand, "Without you, I would have starved to death long ago."

Qinghu nodded: "You are a very discerning person, unlike those who don't know any better. So I hope you will be just as discerning today and take off your clothes."

"Boss... there are so many people here..."

'

boom!

With lightning speed, Wolf slapped Tangyuan hard across the slightly chubby face. Instantly, many players in the distance saw Tangyuan roll several times on the ground like a ball.

Players in the distance sensed something was going on, but none dared to approach. The assassins from the North Sea Society were ruthless, and many players didn't dare to provoke them. Even Hungry Wolf, who was watching from a distance and felt somewhat uncomfortable, didn't get close, as it was, after all, their family matter.

Moreover, he didn't have the strength to contend with a guild. Although he was somewhat arrogant, he understood a principle: when you're not confident you can handle things, don't meddle in other people's business.

"Don't make the boss repeat himself a third time..." The one who made the move was a tall, thin, and handsome man. His tone was gentle, like a comforting elder, but his actions were frighteningly cold. With that slap, he also casually ripped off Tangyuan's eyes!

The bloody eyeballs were being played with like jewels in the other's hands. Tangyuan, who had only spoken a few words for his female subordinates, was now clutching his face tightly, large amounts of blood oozing from between his fingers, a sight that sent chills down the spines of the players in the distance.

I'd heard Beihai was harsh, but I didn't expect it to be this harsh? We're all from the same place, is it really that bad?

Many players had the same thought: no matter how badly things go in the future, they would never go to that godforsaken place, Beihai!

The ruthlessness of his subordinates even shocked the surrounding players, but soon both the guild leader Qinghu and the extraordinary assassin who had just made the move noticed a problem: the remaining members of Tangyuan's team... seemed to be making no move!

In this situation, one would either completely submit and take off their clothes without hesitation, or be concerned about their boss's injuries, or still not understand the situation and dare to argue with them because their boss was hit so hard.

He was even prepared to take off the head of anyone who dared to make any impulsive arguments, so that these guys would be completely brought to their senses.

However, none of the expected scenes appeared.

The group of young people who had originally relied on Tangyuan for protection all had indifferent expressions, as if they hadn't seen their leader's fate. They just stared at him coldly, without speaking or backing down, as if they were waiting for something.

This illogical scene wasn't just on Qinghu's mind; many extraordinary warriors watching from behind also frowned, a bad premonition creeping into their hearts for some reason.
