My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 410 - 350: Unauthorized Challenge

"Why, sir, we obviously have no enmity, damn... uh!"

「HP—3100! You dealt a slash damage to 'Bandit Leader', which triggered a crit!"

On Cyan Forest Mountain, the bandit leader's health bar hit zero and slowly collapsed in front of Xu Xiaoyou, dropping loot all over the place. The girl flicked her long whip, destroying the entire bandit camp.

For these newbie NPCs, having a Three Tier Cleaner show up here was no different from a dimensional strike.

Flicking off the bloodstains from the long whip, Xu Xiaoyou retrieved the whip into her hand and pondered over the Hundred Bone Whip's panel.

「Item: Hundred Bone Whip」 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

「Quality: Art (Gold)」

「Power: 0—∞」

「Damage Type: Slash Damage」

「Usage Requirement: Long Whip Mastery」

「Soul Binding: Player OE3604」

「Item Description: Data missing, Waring...Waring... Forged from an unknown entity's spinal bone; currently known to have the ability to slice through space (?)」

Without needing to worry about any offset in the Sea of Consciousness, Xu Xiaoyou spent some time clearing all the quests in the beginner village.

Back in Taohua Village, under the envious gazes of countless newcomers, Xu Xiaoyou submitted all her quest commissions. The meager rewards from the beginner village commissions were almost negligible. Though every little bit counts, she wasn't hoping to get rich off this; completing the tasks was just for personal honor points.

Only when personal honor points reach level five can one establish a team/guild.

Having rare leisure time, Xu Xiaoyou sat on the hillside and took off her hood, letting her thoughts spread over the main season page.

「Season 11 Theme: Matrix Rebirth」

「Current Season Effect: Matrix Rain.」

「Season Store: Players need to go to the Three Tier Main City, Pangard, to complete the job transition mission to unlock.」

「Season Treasure Chest: None. (There is a chance to obtain it by killing Nightmare Level and above Monster Talk Lords)」

「Season 11: Matrix Rebirth Professional League—'Overreach Battle' registration is in full swing! (Note: Players cannot register solo; a five-player team is required to participate.)」

「Current registration count: 125,030!」

「Registration ends on February 20th, interested players should register soon, the registration count will be locked after the deadline.」

The world chat box was now filled with all sorts of team-up messages scrolling by.

「: Four out of five needed for preliminary selection, looking for an attacker, preferably melee class, league experience preferred.」

「Nanjia Wood: Recruiting for the old guild Golden Navigator, vacancy in the guild's starting lineup, interested parties please private chat, professional players and top freelancers welcome.」

「: Experienced old captain leading the way, fair resource distribution in the team, great benefits, plenty of handsome guys and beautiful ladies, join quickly!」

「Shadow Weaving Poem: Specializing in Shadow Attackers, once ranked 53 on the rookie list, excellent carry ability, looking for a team with a high-quality Enhancer, if the Enhancer mom is attractive, quality requirements can be lowered.」

「: Can it be a male mom?」

「Shadow Weaving Poem: No male moms.」

「: How about cross-dressing?」

「Shadow Weaving Poem: ...Private chat.」

With less than two weeks until the registration deadline, let's not mention her honor level being far from level five, the team configuration she had in mind besides herself only had Chichu Chun as a guerrilla position.

As a rule of thumb, a comprehensive team configuration goes as follows.

Commander: The core of the team, possesses the strongest overall perspective and decision-making ability, strong psychological resilience, and on-the-spot adaptability, tactical orders are indisputable, often their combat strength is weak.

Attacker: Responsible for frontal breakthroughs, possesses excellent combat power and mobility, follows the team in attacks, and works with the guerrilla position to tear through the lines.

Guerrilla Position: Possesses high agility, concealment, and mobility, responsible for collecting battlefield information, assisting teammates in planning routes and positioning, restraining the enemy's Commander and Enhancer, creating opportunities for the team.

Support Position: Responsible for frontline defense, requires a good overall perspective and support ability, covers the team's retreat, protects the Commander and Enhancer, and if needed, takes on the duties of Attacker and Guerrilla Position, requiring versatility.

Enhancer: Responsible for applying buffs to the whole team, providing livelihood assurance and healing support, ensuring the team's overall survival ability.

This is a team configuration model that players have explored and summarized through long-term battles, generally considered the most scientific, where the five complement each other to maximize team performance.

Of course, the league doesn't explicitly require that a team be composed of these five roles, but the top-ranking grand guilds conventionally follow this rule, perhaps because teams that have shone in previous leagues have all used this configuration model.

However, there are also misfits like the 'Assassin's Creed' guild, where their teams consist entirely of guerrilla positions, yet they've achieved outstanding results in past leagues.

It's not that Xu Xiaoyou is going with the flow; it's just that the characters she draws happen to match four positions.

She is still figuring out how to persuade Angelina, Sevia is wandering somewhere in the world, and Bai Youyou is nowhere to be seen, not even sure if she's still in Dragonfly Town, let alone that her condition seems not very optimistic.

The future looks grim.

Bad news too many to count on two fingers, the more she thinks, the bigger the headache.

The good news is she's already thought of a name for this team, no need to worry about naming anymore.

——Xiaoyou's Team!

Ta-da-da-da, such an overwhelmingly striking team name, and Anya actually found it to sound bad; really, no taste at all, Xu Xiaoyou thought.

There are quite a few familiar faces on the guild rankings.

「1. Queen's Armament｜Honor Points 321,507.」

「2. Silent Sequence｜Honor Points 110,441.」

「3. King Race｜Honor Points 32,511.」

「4. Heterogeneous Front｜Honor Points 25,687.」

「5. Frosty Winter Dawn｜Honor Points 25,120.」

「6. Golden Navigator｜Honor Points 24,793.」

「7. Assassin's Creed｜Honor Points 22,150.」

「8. Elegy of the Day｜Honor Points 21,599.」

...

「23. Era of the Dead｜Honor Points 7,060.」

「24. Flame Brocade Meteor...」

Elegy of the Day is a subsidiary guild of Life Daylight, Frosty Winter Dawn presumably corresponds to the Lindong family, as for Flame Brocade Meteor, it's unexpected that the Starfall Family, one of Cosmos's five families, is ranked so far behind on the leaderboard.

Even more surprising to Xu Xiaoyou is that the top guild, Queen's Armament, almost equals the total honor points of the top ten guilds combined, it's hard to imagine how deep its background is.

From the second place Silent Sequence onwards, there's a cliff-like difference. Knowing that these guilds are backed by large companies and top elites in reality, it's easy to deduce that the top players in the top two guilds are naturally a tier stronger.

Her ultimate goal is to win this league championship and obtain the Key for the All-Knowing mode.

This means that, in a sense, all the guilds on the leaderboard are her enemies; the influence of a mere five-person team is certainly insufficient, even if it gains fame, it would be pitifully easy for those grand guilds to jointly target them, leaving them with no chance at the finals.

Besides forming a team, she will also establish a guild, utilizing the influence of Dark Gold Rose to attract various Lone Wolf experts and talent, fully exploiting players' subjective initiatives to lay a solid foundation for the league journey!
