Chapter: Chapter 18
“Our decision at point A yesterday was too conservative. With only two people on the opposite side, it took us five minutes to push through.”
Despite it being a weekday morning, Leticia, a social outcast, was still at home discussing various gaming matters with her teammates.
For example, she was currently reviewing the guild war from the previous night.
“But the opposing player was ‘Lightning,’ whose specialty is fighting outnumbered and delaying time. Moreover, the troop strength on the other lane was unclear at that time, so I think playing it safe was the right move,” the commander of the A lane yesterday offered his opinion.
“Yeah, and then we almost collapsed,” Leticia said helplessly. “If their support player hadn’t made a positioning mistake and we hadn’t taken them down with a combo, we would have been in danger yesterday.”
“Indeed… If it weren’t for you, Sister Qian, seizing the opportunity, the outcome of that match yesterday would have been really hard to say.”
“Apple’s style is like that, steady, afraid of taking risks,” another member who participated in the guild war said. “Yesterday’s decision was the most aggressive for him.”
“There are a few aggressive commanders, but they’ve only commanded teams from lower divisions. Adapting to the combat rhythm of the diamond tier would be difficult.”
As one person spoke, the other guild members also joined the conversation, offering their opinions.
Their guild was arguably top-tier in the game, with almost all its members being veteran players.
“Speaking of which, where’s the guild leader? I haven’t seen her online for a few days,” Leticia remembered the guild leader with a nice voice. “I wanted her to give me a Divine Demon Sword.”
When the leader had pulled Leticia into the guild, she had promised Leticia that if she ever wanted anything in the game, she could just tell her, and she would cover it.
And now, Leticia had her eye on the Divine Demon Sword that had recently been released. It wasn’t that expensive either, just the price of one top-up.
“The guild leader heard the news of Star River Sword Saint’s resignation and cried for a whole day. She’s probably still in a funk,” an informed guild member explained. “Sister Qian, why don’t you go comfort her?”
It was rather amusing, as there were only two girls in Leticia’s guild: herself and the guild leader.
The rest were all male, which meant that sometimes Leticia, the reluctant recruit, had to cheer up the guild leader.
Though chatting with a cute girl wasn’t something Leticia disliked.
As for whether the opposing player was using a voice changer?
Impossible!
Leticia believed in her judgment; her guild leader was a cute and rich little heiress.
“There’s nothing to comfort her about. It’s just the Sword Saint retiring, not dying,” Leticia stated that she didn’t have any particular feelings about the Sword Saint’s retirement.
If the Sword Saint had truly passed away, she would definitely set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate. Unfortunately, this Sword Saint lived in her upstairs apartment.
“She has her own life. Have you seen the Sword Saint take any breaks in the past few years? The Sword Saint is also human, not a machine. Even machines need to rest after working for so long,” Leticia said, speaking in praise of Bai Ling against her true feelings.
She genuinely disliked Bai Ling, but if she directly voiced her opinion that the Sword Saint’s retirement was good in front of these guild members, she feared being hung up and criticized by her angry teammates.
In the human world, people couldn’t stand to see a great hero like Bai Ling being slandered or insulted so casually.
“Oh, a secret for you guys, the Sword Saint is actually a very beautiful girl.”
Upon hearing Leticia’s words, everyone burst into laughter. “Sister Qian, don’t joke. The Sword Saint must be a guy.”
“Yeah, yeah, how could the Sword Saint be a girl?”
“If the Sword Saint were a girl, I’d perform a solo challenge against the Giant Demon God right here.”
The United Government’s propaganda had indeed been effective. In the minds of almost everyone, the Star River Sword Saint was male, making the exposure of Bai Ling’s identity almost impossible.
Leticia, with her legs casually resting on the edge of the table, shook her head. Her guildmates actually didn’t believe the truth; they were too blindly faithful.
“I’m not lying to you guys. Miss Sword Saint is uniquely beautiful and has a fantastic figure. It’s a shame her personality isn’t great,” Leticia said playfully.
“Qianqian, have you met the Sword Saint?” As Leticia was eloquently speaking, a quiet voice came through the headset.
“Guild leader, you’re here.”
“Good morning, Guild Leader.”
“Guild leader!”
The female voice that suddenly appeared was one of the main subjects of their recent conversation, Leticia’s guild leader.
And her question made Leticia chuckle, “Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed.”
“Wuuu~ Please tell me, Qianqian.” The guild leader surprisingly began to act spoiled.
However, Leticia’s stance was firm because she realized someone had suddenly appeared behind her.
If she continued to “speak carelessly,” the Star River Sword Saint’s greatsword might come down on her.
“Cough, cough, Miss Bai, what can I do for you?” Skillfully exiting the voice channel with her feet, Leticia gently kicked the table, turning herself 180 degrees. She looked at the white-haired girl who had silently appeared in the room.
