“Goodness, they are putting you on a pedestal,” Zhao Lei said as he started the live stream, watching the two Guild Masters perform and marvelling in awe.

“A weasel paying a New Year visit to a chicken – it’s suspect. They lift you high, so if you fail, you fall hard, protecting their own reputations of failure and incompetence,” Angel Guardian said, engrossed in watching.

“You’re the chicken,” Li Yao downed the drink in his glass and responded flippantly, “In the face of absolute power, any scheming and conniving is unworthy. They’re only making me famous, although I don’t need it for now.” This kind of official and high-level attention also increases one’s prestige points in reality, that might not mean much to some elites, but to regular folks it is crucial.

“You’re so arrogant, I rate it 11 points, use the extra point to be proud,” Angel Guardian was speechless.

At this point, several people had already approached where Xiao Ze’s group was gathered.

“This is Prairie Fire, newcomers certainly are no strangers. He and Starfire God have set quite a few solo records for outdoor bosses. He also made an amazing move not too long ago, which I will cover later in my commentary. Especially for the Hunters, I guarantee, it will blow your minds,” Xiao Ze introduced Li Yao. “Prairie Fire, don’t you want to say a greeting?”

“Yes, thank you for the compliment.” Li Yao only nodded with no further actions.

The audience was silent, and so were the Guild Masters…

“I heard your task is also to take down the outpost, and you are collaborating with three guilds. The condition is, if they fail, you take over, right?” Xiao Ze didn’t wait for Li Yao to answer and continued. “We’re really looking forward to your performance. I’m very curious. I want to know how you plan to capture the heavily guarded outpost.’

“There’s nothing to hide. This is my elite mission. As for how to take down the outpost, you will see. I just hope the guilds won’t fail their promise.” Li Yao briefly explained.

“Your word counts. A spoken promise is like a shot arrow,” Dark Grape said decisively.

“It better be,” Li Yao turned and walked off. “But if you default, I wouldn’t mind kicking your ass one more time.”

Dark Grape was fine, but the other two Guild Masters almost exploded. If it weren’t for taking down this outpost and the live stream in front of tens of thousands of viewers, they would have lost it long ago.

“He is as crazy as always.” “That’s my Prairie Fire.” “Who is this guy? He seems badass.” “An absolute archer.”

“An archer? Isn’t that an exaggeration?” “Wait until Xiao Ze’s commentary and you will understand.”

The live streaming platform was also boiling.

“My, my, you’ve really pissed off those three guilds,” Zhao Lei chuckled.

“You usually seem quite affable. Why are you so hard on them?” Angel Guardian asked curiously.

“Because they belong to the large guilds,” Li Yao said seriously. “These big guilds have always looked down upon solo gamers. You keep a low profile, they think you’re easy. They’re arrogant, so you need to be even more arrogant.

Otherwise, they’ll walk all over you. If I had agreed readily to this, they might have even made more demands.”

“Good analysis, makes a lot of sense,” Angel Guardian gave a thumbs-up.

“What do we need to do next?” Fruit Knight asked.

“Nothing specifically, if you’re bored you can go level up somewhere or stay and watch if you want. I can handle this on my own,” Li Yao said with a glint in his eyes.

“You’re doing this on purpose, who wouldn’t want to know how you complete this impossible task? Who could keep calm and level up?” Zhao Lei grumbled.

“Finally, you said something sensible for once.” Angel Guardian burst into laughter.

“You’re asking for a punch!” Zhao Lei was infuriated.

“Hope you can run fast later, if you get killed, don’t blame me,” Li Yao reminded, seeing Xiao Ze approaching.

“No need to worry, I can take care of myself,” Xiao Ze responded confidently. She had faith in her own skills. If not for her neural reflexes holding her back, she could have gone pro.

“Alright then.”

Li Yao flashed an inscrutable smile, quickly left the area and ran towards Lake Lordamere.

Murlocs, being amphibious, can live both in the deep sea and on land. Rumor has it that a mysterious and powerful entity in the deep sea was in trouble, and a hundred years ago, a large number of Murlocs migrated from the deep sea.

After a hundred years of development, Murlocs can be found anywhere in the world where there’s water, making them rulers of the coastline, second only to the Naga.

Lake Lordamere was no exception, with its underground river connecting to the sea, and melted snow from the Alterac snowy mountains pouring into it. The vastness of Lake Lordamere made uninformed people believe it was an ocean rather than a lake.

You can imagine how many Murlocs were living there, and the coastline was dotted with Murloc’s crude huts, half submerged in water.

“We’re supposed to be attacking the outpost. Why did we run so far? It’s been half an hour already,” Zhao Lei panted.

“I can’t possibly eliminate thousands of Worgen on my own. I’m not a god,” Li Yao shrugged.

“Alright, don’t ask anymore. If you don’t want to die, stay away from me.” Li Yao said in his team’s audio chat.

“You’re up to some dirty tricks again, aren’t you?” Angel Guardian chuckled.

“Stay close to me and you’ll be in immense danger. Xiao Ze, its best if you stay away from me like my friends, ” Li Yao reminded again.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Xiao Ze said with a smile.

“Alright, as you wish,” Li Yao shot her a glance and went about his own business, surveying the lakeshore leisurely.

He walked along the long shoreline, seemingly taking stock of something. This slow inspection took almost twenty minutes.

“Is he going to start soon? It’s been almost an hour! He is wandering around instead of going to the outpost, is he on a lake tour or something?”

“What’s he up to? Almost dozing off here watching.”

“Are the three vast guilds all f* * *ing idiots? They’re praising this guy to the heavens. What’s he even doing?”

“Madman! If it weren’t for Xiao Ze, I would’ve closed this live broadcast a long time ago.”

The live streaming platform began to boil.

Just as Xiao Ze was about to approach and ask, she saw Li Yao stop and bring out his crossbow.

He continuously adjusted the angle.

“You have time to back off now,” Li Yao looked at Xiao Ze once again.

“I’m just here to live broadcast, Prairie Fire. You don’t need to worry about me,” Xiao Ze smiled.

“Alright, I’m starting.”

Li Yao spoke as he adjusted his angle yet again and fiercely shot the steel arrow.

Whoosh…

The massive steel arrow travelled hundreds of yards and struck a Murloc, who was sitting far away in his little house.

After a piercing scream, the small house shattered, and a Murloc with golden scales was sent flying out into the sea.

Wuu wuu wuu…

There was a brief silence along the lakeshore. Then like a ripple, a wave of noise erupted, the shrieks wrenched everyone’s eardrums.

If they could understand the Murloc language, they would know.

“The King’s been assassinated!” ” The King’s been killed!”

All sorts of cries…
