Ye Xiu couldnt understand why they were so happy about a dog hole, even though it was something he didnt know about. He had previously seen the group from outside the window and had thought that the scrap pickers were peaceful with each other, but now from the looks of it, these five players all recognized each other. They had partied together to pick up scraps together. If not, how could they have all decided to go into this hiding place through a dog hole?

Nowadays, players knew to make preparations against scrap pickers. It didnt matter so much for players in a conflict, but for an activity like fighting against a wild BOSS, players would often specially dispatch troops to be on the lookout for them. One reason was to prevent others from causing trouble. A second reason was to prevent scrap pickers from mixing in.

The team from before was an exception. They didnt seem to be a team with any sort of background. Their main team only had ten or so people. Where would they get the extra manpower to do all this? Thus, they simply went forward with it and found an empty place to kill it as fast as possible.

But the situation had changed now. With the announcement of the BOSSs location in the global chat, the top guilds would soon arrive along with a bunch of scrap pickers. Finding a good hiding place was extremely important. They would strike when the moment was right. If there was chaos, there would be items to pick up. If there was none, then because they were hidden, they could easily retreat.

Sparse Fragrances group denied the possibility of Lord Grim being God Ye Qiu through Ye Xius actions. Towards the so-called mystery man, they just looked at him for a bit, but didnt gossip too much. They were here to pick up scraps and they didnt want any accidents to happen.

When the opportunity comes, well rush out and go pick up items. Dont hold back each other! Sparse Fragrance was mainly saying this to Ye Xiu and Chen Guo. The rest were a part of the same group, so they naturally had a tacit understanding between each other long ago.

Then give me a spot! Ye Xiu said. It was a bit crowded for seven people in this room. In particular, the five took up the places where the outside situation could be seen. There wasnt any space for Ye Xiu.

Give him a spot. Sparse Fragrance seemed to be this teams leader. After speaking, someone moved back two steps and let Lord Grim take the spot.

F*ck, my area! Move aside! Sparse Fragrance realized that there wasnt any space for him. After shouting for a bit, he snatched a spot next to Lord Grim.

The Wilderness Escort was still wandering around outside. Before a summoned BOSS was killed, it would wander around for eternity.

Theres still no one here yet. Ye Xiu said.

Its far. Youve got to give people some time! Who strolls around here everyday! The Mayor Chalk of Chalk Town has already been killed this week. Sparse Fragrance said. He was saying that this areas wild BOSS was already gone this week, so the top guilds hunting teams had already left this place.

You know quite a lot! Ye Xiu said.

Of course. Scrap picking requires information. Sparse Fragrance said. A despicable activity like scrap picking sounded like an honest profession coming out from his mouth.

Then how much longer do you think well have to wait? Ye Xiu asked.

From the time the announcement was made, Id say half an hour or so. So now, itd be around ten more minutes! Sparse Fragrance continued, A Level 65 Wilderness Escort! Therell be quite a fight for it. The more chaotic the better!

Ye Xiu understood after hearing this. They werent expecting to see the BOSS show off its might because with a top guilds strength, killing a Level 65 BOSS wasnt a problem. They hoped to see a struggle between different groups fighting amongst each other for the BOSS. A huge mess like that was perfect for scrap pickers.

Did you send out that info? Ye Xiu asked. Even though the name didnt match with anyone in the group, there was something called a trumpet.

No. Sparse Fragrance said.

Then that means theres at least one other scrap picker that we dont know of. Ye Xiu said.

Thats why we hid in a good place, so we can carefully observe the situation and strike when the opportunity arises! Sparse Fragrance spoke in a serious tone.

What if he also comes in through the dog hole? Ye Xiu asked.

Theres no need to talk about that. This time, Sparse Fragrance didnt mess up and through poses made from various attacks, he was able to make a sword sliding across a throat movement.

Oh, then I really got lucky didnt I? I didnt get cut by you. Ye Xiu laughed.

How dare you! Sparse Fragrance answered.

This guy! Ye Xiu muttered to himself. This guy had definitely noticed his name when he came in, which was why he had jumped out to stop his comrade. Someone who could beat Huang Shaotian wasnt someone five normal players could hope to beat.

But afterwards, he pretended that he just noticed the name Lord Grim, concealing their initial plan to kill them. However, he accidentally exposed it

This other scrap picker probably isnt simple. Ye Xiu said. After this person sent out the message, he still hadnt appeared. Could he have also waited to see if there were any other scrap pickers? Ye Xiu thought.

Who cares about him. In any case, were all here to pick up scraps. Just dont attack each other and pick up as many good items as you can. Even if he isnt a simple guy, he should understand this reasoning. Sparse Fragrances tone suddenly changed.

Really? Do you have any other specific plans? Since there wasnt anything to do, Ye Xiu thought he might as well chat with them.

In this current age, scrap picking isnt easy. For example, those people who just charge into the battlefield and pick up items until they die cant be considered professionals. Nowadays, theres a certain amount of skill involved and you have to understand the situation clearly before moving out. If its too chaotic, then the players cant distinguish foe from friend and just attack whoever they see. With bullets, magic, sword light flying around, you cant pick up anything. If its too stable, then the experts on the guild will simply kill you before you mix in with everyone. So thats why you have to pay close attention to the situation. If youre asking if I have a plan, then of course I dont have one. Im also waiting for a certain scenario before I make any decisions.

Ye Xiu was quite amazed at Sparse Fragrances scrap picking theory. It really showed that there was a master in every trade! Moreover, when he heard that there needed to be a certain amount of skill, Ye Xiu looked at their five Blade Master team composition and asked: In reality, you should have six people, no?

Good eye! You really do deserve to be called an expert! You even guessed that! Sparse Fragrance gasped in astonishment, In reality, were six people. But were missing one today, so its a bit troublesome!

No problem. When the time comes, I can help you guys and substitute in. Ye Xiu said.

Oh?

Im an unspecialized, so I have Blade Master skills. Ye Xiu said.

But you only have Level 20 and under skills Sparse Fragrance said.

Its enough.

How could that be enough. Do you know what were planning on doing?

I know. Its the Six Sword Formation. Do you know who came up with the Six Sword Formation? Ye Xiu replied.

Correct. And Im Ye Qiu. Didnt I tell you guys that? Ye Xiu said.

Tsk!! Sparse Fragrance hadnt replied back, when two of the other players in his group booed.

He really is Ye Qiu.. Chen Guo interrupted.

You even brought a cheerleader! They continued booing.

What a sin!! Chen Guo sighed as she looked up towards the sky. Such a despicable act really did destroy his image. There were so much support for Lord Grim being Ye Qiu, but as soon as they saw Lord Grim was scrap picking, they immediately denied this possibility. From this, it could be seen what the popular consent towards this type of activity was. It had to be known that these people were professional scrap pickers. Even they denied the possibility that Ye Qiu would stoop so low as to pick up scraps.

Okay then! Ye Xiu was also silent for a good moment, To tell you the truth, I know a lot about the Six Sword Formation. In any case, you five wont be able to do it with just yourselves. You might as well let me try.

Do you really think you can do it?

Its not like you guys have any better options right? Ye Xiu said.

Sparse Fragrance thought for a bit and then said Well see!

At this moment, one of the other players among the group suddenly asked: If you say youre Ye Qiu, then is she Su Mucheng?

Ha ha ha ha, how funny! How could I be Su Mucheng. This was in the game. Outside of the game, Chen Guo directly grabbed Ye Xius arm and continued to laugh: Ha ha ha ha, he actually thought I was Su Mucheng.

Hurry up and let go. If you keep pressing on my arm, Ill walk out. Ye Xiu hastily tried to shake her off. His hand was still on the keyboard. When Chen Guo grabbed his arm, she made it so his arm was pressing the forward button. He almost walked out of the room.

Ye Xiu obviously couldnt type in this situation, so he had to say it out loud. The others in-game could hear him. After a moment of silence, Sparse Fragrance spoke: Well, it doesnt matter. In any case, youre an expert, so lets act accordingly!

Okay. Ye Xiu approved.

Afterwards, there wasnt much to say, so everyone just sat there in silence. Chen Guo had went scrap picking before, but it had always just been done because she was passing by. She had never done something like guarding a BOSS and waiting for an opportunity to pick up scraps. It was both a fresh and despicable experience.

There are people coming! No one say anything or use word bubbles!! Sparse Fragrance reminded everyone. If scrap pickers were discovered, they would be killed on the spot.

Yes! Everyone replied. Outside, amidst frantic footsteps, someone shouted: Over here. F*ck, howd it get here.

It was a bit off from the coordinates announced in the global chat.

The other guilds will be here soon. Lets hurry and find a spot to lure the BOSS away. Another voice said.

No need. Theres a spot here. If you can send the BOSS into it, then you can get it stuck there. From there, killing it will be easy and if outsiders dont especially look for it, then theres no way theyll find it!

Oh? Theres a place like this?

Yeah! Right over there!!

The place theyre talking about is where? Ye Xiu whispered to everyone in the party. In that instant, the seven didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Why did it sound like the spot those people were talking about was where they were?
