The Purpose of a Game
If it was just Tyrannical Ambition setting a dungeon record, then no one would be amazed . After all, the big guilds were going all out at Line Canyon’s dungeon tonight . No guild would let this opportunity go by . And even though Tyrannical Ambition had suffered under a bit of mockery due to Lord Grim’s subbing in, it didn’t affect their fundamental strength . The fight for the dungeon records was as competitive as ever . Every guild understood this, so they weren’t surprised that Tyrannical Ambition’s name was up on TV .
But after seeing Tyrannical Ambition’s time, they couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath .
27:41:24 .
In the past few days, Line Canyon’s dungeon record had occasionally changed, but it was always only by a few seconds . When the first place team’s record was only within five seconds of the fifth place team’s record, it indicated that the record had reached a certain limit .
Tyrannical Ambition’s record this time though gave the other big guilds a fright .
Compared to the previous record, their record had improved the time by a full two minutes .
Was this actually Tyrannical Ambition? Quite a few players had their doubts and checked the team’s roster on the leaderboards, searching hard for Lord Grim’s name . Everyone failed to find it, though . Tyrannical Ambition . It was the real Tyrannical Ambition . All of the big guilds had a spy network . They had information on the five Tyrannical Ambition names . They were true members of the guild .
However, with a sudden move, they actually improved the time by two minutes .
Normally, it was very rare for players to leave room for improvement for dungeon records . After all, these required perfect playing . A single small mistake could even cause them to restart . And this type of mistake wasn’t something that they could avoid . Everyone made mistakes . As a result, whenever it was time to set a record, every team would go at it their hardest . Whichever team could achieve the most perfect run would set the final record .
But Tyrannical Ambition’s record showed that they had the strength to beat the record by over two minutes, which they hadn’t shown until now . Two minutes was a lot . Making up for this time with a few less mistakes wasn’t easy . In Tyrannical Ambition’s run to achieve the record of 27 minutes, if they had made mistakes here and there, then they probably would have been in the 28-29 minute range .
But they didn’t . Previously, there hadn’t been any records under 29 minutes .
Tyrannical Ambition’s record was truly astonishing . Was it something they were always capable of doing or was it because they had run the dungeon perfectly? Even if they knew the answer to this, it was pointless . From now on, all the guilds would have to attempt to beat this record .
Two minutes after Tyrannical Ambition set their record, new records began showing up on the leaderboards . Two guilds had surpassed their previous records and one of them had even entered below the 30 minute mark .
But compared to 27:41:24, the two records were too far off . They obviously wouldn’t be shown on TV; they could only silently take the second and third place . No one could deny their efforts, but the greatest applause would be reserved for those who took first place . The second, third, and even the fourth and fifth places would increase a guild’s reputation a bit, but they couldn’t compete with those who took first place .
First place and second place were sometimes only off by a second . But the titles “first”and “second” made others feel that the distance between the two placers was miles apart .
The guilds had all done their research on how to run the dungeon . They all knew just how difficult it was to achieve 27:41:24 .
When Tyrannical Ambition’s record came out, one third of the competitors immediately gave up . Another one third continued to run the dungeon as planned, but none of them knew if they could achieve such a record . They could only pray towards the heavens . Apart from this, the remaining one third clenched their teeth and continued to batter at the records . They felt that there was no reason they couldn’t achieve Tyrannical Ambition’s record .
Herb Garden, Excellent Dynasty, Samsara…… the guilds that had allied against Lord Grim didn’t give up . This wasn’t a coincidence . These guilds had clearly spent much effort chasing down Lord Grim for the benefit of all . Just by looking at how they joined in on such a movement showed their desire for the records . How could they give up now?
27 minutes! The elites from every guild stared at the number… . .
“27:41 by Tyrannical Ambition . It looks pretty good!” Tang Rou noticed it the instant the announcement was made . She remembered most names of the guilds she had encountered . In the beginning, she hadn’t taken them seriously . But after chatting with Chen Guo, she discovered that these were all top-tier guilds in Glory . Chen Guo, who had been playing the game for a long time, was more clear on how strong each of the guilds was . All in all, Ye Xiu hadn’t played in the normal servers for a long time, so he was picking up a lot of new things as he played .
Tyrannical Ambition was extremely strong . Ye Xiu had never said this, but Chen Guo had talked a lot about them . Even though Tang Rou couldn’t see how Tyrannical Ambition was strong, since Chen Guo said so, she should just listen…… .
“Eh, it’s okay . ” Ye Xiu wasn’t too impressed with Tyrannical Ambition’s record .
“If it was us, how fast could we do it?” Tang Rou asked .
“25 minutes!” Ye Xiu said .
“Are we going to try now?” Tang Rou asked .
Midnight was the high point for running the dungeons, so it wasn’t convenient for them to cause a commotion at this time . There were guild members everywhere at this time . It was very likely that if they were found entering a dungeon, they’d be surrounded as soon as they exited . It had taken them ten minutes to arrive and some more due to caution . As a result, the guilds had already finished running the dungeon once and had just entered for their second try .
Seeing that Tyrannical Ambition had set a relatively impressive record and seeing that Ye Xiu hadn’t talked about the records, Tang Rou couldn’t help but ask .
“There’s no need for us to set records anymore!” Ye Xiu said .
“There’s no need for us to set records anymore!” Ye Xiu said .
“Why?” Tang Rou asked .
“Because competing for the dungeon records was never our goal! Think about why you play the game . ” Ye Xiu said .
“Uh…… . ” The simple phrase had stumped Tang Rou .
Ye Xiu didn’t care if they weren’t going to set a record . Setting records was just a way for him to gather uncommon materials . He now had other ways of gathering materials, so he didn’t need to clash against the other guilds for the record . With his identity, if word came out that he was competing against these normal players for the dungeon record, then he’d become a laughingstock .
Ye Xiu didn’t care . Su Mucheng obviously didn’t care . Qiao Yifan’s motivation didn’t need to be spoken of either . He came to the new server for personal instruction from a God-level player . After playing with the God for a few days, he already felt he had made a lot of improvement . In the beginning, he wasn’t used to playing a Phantom Demon, but he was becoming more and more familiar with it now . Dungeon records? Qiao Yifan obviously didn’t care about these . He was still a pro-level player . His reason for coming here was to improve . Beating some normal players couldn’t be considered as any improvement in his eyes .
And consequently, only Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion cared a bit more about these records .
Steamed Bun Invasion was more pure . He liked to play the game and he played for fun . With his good attitude, he always found something fun about the game . Setting a record was one of them . But without it, there were still many other things to enjoy .
In the end, the only person who really cared about the records was Tang Rou . This girl was extremely competitive and liked the feeling of competing and surpassing other people . Just as expected, while the others were indifferent about Tyrannical Ambition’s record, Tang Rou asked more about it .
Purpose……
Ye Xiu’s question had made Tang Rou feel at a loss for words .
Ye Xiu’s question had made Tang Rou feel at a loss for words .
“To beat you . ” After a few moments, Tang Rou blurted it out . It was the original reason she had played Glory, the game she hadn’t found interesting . The game had a lot of content, but Tang Rou’s original reason hadn’t changed . Whether it was in dungeoning or PK, she frequently paid attention to Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim, constantly comparing each other’s performance .
Even though she was getting more familiar with the game, she only felt how large the gap between them was . This didn’t make her dispirited, though .
She first had to figure out where their differences were and how great the differences were .
To her, it had only just begun . The ever impulsive and rash Tang Rou had already gotten rid of the idea of continuously challenging him until she beat him . She was now preparing a plan to surpass him .
She learned from Ye Xiu while watching the distance between them . She would then fix whatever she needed to fix . Tang Rou had her own plan in mind . She wasn’t like Steamed Bun Invasion who said this and that and stupidly laughed .
Tang Rou didn’t relax when she played, which was very different from Steamed Bun Invasion’s playing for fun .
However, for Tang Rou, this was what made her feel that the game was fun . If it was something that was just for her to relax, then she’d only feel bored .
After reminding Tang Rou her purpose for playing the game, Ye Xiu then casually said: “Then why are you setting records?”
