Chapter 387: Fusion!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The University of South China was swathed in a solemn and angry atmosphere!

Beautiful Robes Faction’s destruction became a scar that all members could not erase from their hearts.

The sports center, lecture halls, and the roads of the university were filled with students who had gloomy expressions. The somber atmosphere affected everyone. They examined themselves and found that Beautiful Robes Faction’s had indeed been outstanding.

Even when compared to some professional gaming guilds, Beautiful Robes Faction had not only had a group of good players with decent abilities, such as One Circle, Glutinous Rice, Tea Words, Phoenix Dances… but most of them had also reached Mystical Realm.

As for their equipment, due to Mu Clan and Beautiful Robes Faction’s efforts, they had countless masterpieces due to the rich resources. Their various medicinal pills and logistics were up to date as well.

Even so, they still lost.

Even if they could not blame anyone for losing before the giant that was Class One Hall, youngsters were proud people who refused to admit defeat. Beautiful Robes Faction’s destruction caused everyone to reflect on their mistakes.

On that night, Beautiful Robes Faction’s base, which was Happy’s living room, was squeezed full of people.

Phoenix Dances, the Three Lonely Wolves, Glutinous Rice, Tea Words, and others came in succession, but in different batches. They either sat or stood, and their expressions were incredibly stern and solemn.

When they entered the room, they faced Happy, who was relaxed and full of smiles.

“Welcome, if you want water, please go take it yourself.” His tone and expression were not at all miserable or dejected.

Everyone, including the Three Lonely Wolves, were slightly surprised by Happy’s attitude. After dying in Beautiful Robes Faction, all of them had heard the news about Class One Hall’s branch in Vast Martial City being destroyed, which had spread through the entire game. It was public knowledge that Hall Master Tang Feng of Assassin Hall had died as well as one of the monsters of Class One Hall—Barren Murderer. Those shocking news came one after another, and all of them were caused by Happy.

He had done all of that in less than two hours, so everyone could tell just how angry he had been at that time.

Some of the leaders had even blamed themselves in secret. Happy had managed to deal a heavy blow to Class One Hall’s spirit by himself while they could not even defend a single headquarters!

When they were on their way to the meeting, they were filled with regret and did not know how to face Happy.

However, they did not expect that Happy’s first words once he sat down would be to apologize to them.

After hearing that, they had nothing to say for a moment.

“Happy, don’t say that, everyone can see just how much you contributed to Beautiful Robes Faction. You didn’t let us down. I… was useless as a faction master…” Phoenix Dances bit her bottom lip with bloodshot eyes. “We had such good resources, but we did not have time to develop.”

“Phoenix Dances, don’t say that. We can’t blame anyone for this. We joined the game later than they did. Besides, they’re a top class professional gaming guild, so their advantage is greater than ours…” Glutinous Rice comforted Phoenix Dances gently.

Xu Xin, who sat on her other side, also said, “Besides our faction, which other sect do you see in the game that can fight against Class One Hall?”

Happy looked at Phoenix Dances, whose eyes were red, and sighed.

“In truth, I didn’t expect that Old Swordsman in the royal mausoleum would suddenly go through a change. I didn’t even have a chance to fight against him. I was killed directly. If this hadn’t happened, Class One Hall wouldn’t have dared to attack Beautiful Robes Faction so easily.

“Besides, Beautiful Robes Faction and Mu Clan’s development was pretty good. If given another month or two, we would have had no problem with moving up to become part of the top-tier sects. Class One Hall didn’t want to see us becoming stronger, but honestly, all of this happened because I was too hasty.”

Happy sighed in his heart. If he had not been so anxious to get Shennongjia’s resources and build Mu Clan as well as swiftly stabilize the alliance of the five sects, thereby causing Class One Hall to feel uneasy, Class One Hall would not have risked the danger of offending him to attack Beautiful Robes Faction.

It was precisely because of Mu Clan’s appearance that Class One Hall became wary and grew more determined.

Dream Clouds was a woman who killed resolutely.

She was a really tough character.

“This isn’t your fault.”

“If we were stronger, something like this wouldn’t have happened.”

“That’s right. A faction can’t be strong by relying on a single person.”

Most of the people in the house spoke up to say that Beautiful Robes Faction’s destruction had nothing to do with Happy.

Even they comforted him like that, Happy still felt gloomy and miserable.

However, he did not show it. He had asked everyone to gather because he wanted to placate his friends in Beautiful Robes Faction so that they would not fall apart in the real world as well.

“Phoenix Dances, have you transferred the resources in the faction out?”

When Phoenix Dances heard Happy’s question, she wiped away her tears and nodded before answering. “Yes. Fortunately, we noticed what was coming early on, so we transferred all the resources and money in the faction to the bank. We didn’t let Class One Hall benefit from this.”

“Very good. As long as we have the resources, we still have a chance,” Happy said.

After saying that, he turned to Chen Fan, Qi Ci, and Bai Lang. “You recorded the faction’s contribution points, right? Even though Beautiful Robes Faction is gone, we can’t erase our friends’ contribution.”

“Don’t worry.” Qi Ci answered in front of everyone. “We’ve made a record of everyone’s contribution. The contribution ranking board on South China Martial Arts Ranking Board was originally used to motivate our friends to be active in carrying out quests and missions. But now, it can actually be used for another purpose as well.”

He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He suddenly looked at Happy and asked, “Are you saying that we can immediately rebuild Beautiful Robes Faction and restore everyone’s data?”

The spirits of everyone in the house lifted.

Even though the shock brought by their faction’s destruction was great, a fire burned in all their hearts, and their readiness to take revenge was incredibly high. If they could rebuild Beautiful Robes Faction, it would naturally be for the best.

They wanted to take revenge on Class One Hall in the name of Beautiful Robes Faction.

However, Phoenix Dances and some of the others remained frowning in worry.

If Class One Hall could destroy Beautiful Robes Faction once, they could destroy it a second time too!

Beautiful Robes Faction had been unable to withstand the attack from only three branches while they were at the peak of their strength. If they recklessly rebuilt Beautiful Robes Faction while nearly half of their members’ abilities were largely compromised, there was a high possibility that Class One Hall would come for them again.

Their friends in the University of South China could not withstand such a blow again!

“It’s not practical for us to rebuild the faction now,” Tea Words said with a solemn tone. “If we want to rebuild Beautiful Robes Faction, we have to wait until everyone recovers their strength…

“But even if we manage to get through it, there is a possibility that Class One Hall will have developed to a terrifying degree. We…” Tea Words did not finish his sentence.

The underlying meaning behind what he did not say was something that everyone could understand once they thought about it.

He meant that he did not have high hopes in regards to rebuilding Beautiful Robes Faction!

Happy nodded slowly. “That’s why I have an idea. We can have Beautiful Robes Faction enter Mu Clan, and we’ll all shift to Shennongjia. There are more regions over there that are waiting to be excavated. The resources near the cities around Baokang are also pretty good.

“I want to quickly strengthen Mu Clan’s abilities and make them strong. First, it could provide a great support for Beautiful Robes Faction’s stable development, and second, we could use Beautiful Robes Faction’s strength to further protect Mu Clan so that they will not be attacked by Class One Hall. We’d be killing two birds with one stone!”

The moment he finished speaking, the people in the room instantly burst into commotion. They discussed the suggestion among themselves.

“Enter Mu Clan?”

“I think it’s plausible. I’ve come into contact with Thunderous Battle and Little North before, and they’re pretty good people. Besides, Mu Clan currently lacks fighting power.”

“It’s a plan.”

The eyes of Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, and the others lit up.
