Reign of the Hunters

how it will end yet.” 

“Do you think he’ll win?” 

Ye Ci gave her answer after some moment of thought, “If they send only 10, then they will lose.
But if they increase their numbers to 20… Then I do not know.” 

Golden Era had suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Lethal Poison.
They would not trip on the same rock twice.
Fleeting Time was a Hunter, which was an agile class just like the Rogue class, and was known for his impressive skills.
He would also definitely be hiding in a map that was hard to reach.
This meant that Golden Era would be under a lot of pressure to make the assassination a success.
Fleeting Time could easily take care of 10 opponents by using the terrain, but if the number of assailants was increased to 20… 

The outcome of the battle was unpredictable. 

“Who do you think has a higher chance of winning?” asked Bai Mo. 

“He’s slightly better than me in terms of our mechanical skills, but there are abilities that I have that he does not.
We’re equals when it comes to our positioning.
I’ll be at a slight disadvantage if we’re fighting in open ground, but if it’s in jungle terrain, we both have an equal chance of winning.” 

Ye Ci had analysed her capabilities along with Fleeting Time’s.
Her objective view of the situation was able to give Bai Mo an accurate insight of the situation. 

He took in a deep breath, and set his bowl on the table after wolfing down the last few mouthfuls of rice, “Uncle, Auntie, there are things I have to take care of.
Sorry I won’t be able to help with cleaning up.” Zuo Xiaolan and Ye Nantian knew what was going on in the last few days.
They were worried, but they did not let it show on their faces, and put up smiles instead. 

With Bai Mo back in his room and Tan Polang scurrying off to talk to Fleeting Time with the guise of studying, only three members of the family remained by the dining table. 

Zuo Xiaolan and Yenantian had stopped their bickering.
They were more worried for the guild than their daughter’s relationship with Fleeting Time. 

Bai Mo, Ye Ci, and Tan Polang had never once told them the difficulties that Upwards Ho! faced since they started playing the game, but they knew that the guild was a pillar to them, and even the family.
They must not allow it to collapse, but they were always worried that they would bring trouble by trying to help. 

“Little Ci… About the guild…” Zuo Xiaolan was very worried. 

“Don’t worry, mom.
Bai Mo and I will take care of things.
Just keep the shop running and don’t leave Red Lake City if there’s nothing important.
The city is a safe zone.” 

Ye Ci offered a parents a smile. 

“Is Golden Era really that scary?” Ye Nantian could not understand the fear of the player base towards a new guild. 

“Scary?” Ye Ci pondered for a short while.
Golden Era itself was not scary.
The thing that was truly scary was the human heart, “We’re just standing on different sides.” she shook her head. 

“Are they bad people?” Zuo Xiaolan could not understand what was going on in the game.
She was purely looking at things as good or bad. 

“There’s no good people or bad people in the game, mom.
We simply have different goals.” Ye Ci set down her chopsticks and stood up to head back into the game to continue leveling up Ol’ Six. 

“How can we help, Little Ci?” Ye Nantian knew there was nothing much he could do to help his daughter, but as a parent, he could not allow his daughter to face the danger ahead alone, “Your mom and I are both life players.
We’re not very great yet, but we’d like to help.” 

Ye Ci could feel emotion welling in her heart as she stared at her parents’ determined faces.
She brought her parents into the game so that the family could be closer.
She had never expected help from her parents.
But she discovered that she had been wrong all this while.
Her parents might be old, but they were still trying their best to do what they thought was right. 

And as a daughter, she could not bring herself to refuse their good intentions. 

“Of course!” Ye Ci smiled at her parents, “You can help by making food that helps boost stats!”
