Chapter 537: 537

Chapter 537 Admiral Rank?

The birthday party was coming to an end in the small auditorium on the Sheraton Hotel’s fourth floor . After cutting the cake and singing the birthday song, it was finally time for tonight’s highlight, a Disney-themed part at midnight .

Everyone present could choose a costume they liked and dress up as their favorite Disney character . The daughter of Eryue Weicheng chose Elsa from Frozen, and Eryue Weicheng himself chose the dead old king . He watched his daughter and a plump kid dressed as Prince Aladdin perform the last dance . After that, his cell phone rang .

Eryue Weicheng frowned . Not only was he Arc of Light’s leader, but he was director of two listed companies . He now had two mobile phones and three numbers . One was used to answer business calls and family, while the second was dealing with the guilds and players .

He muted his business calls phone tonight, which could only mean that the phone that he used to deal with guild matter had to be the one ringing now . He glanced at his Patek Philippe watch and realized that it was 1 a . m .

Was the war with the union over?

Eryue Weicheng was not in a hurry . After Elsa and Aladdin were done with their dance, he stood up and took the lead to applaud for them . After that, the hotel staff began to clean up the stage, taking out a PS4 and other fun stuff . The birthday party had ended, and the kids could do whatever they wanted . Those wanting to keep playing could stay in the auditorium, and those who didn’t could retreat to the room upstairs to sleep . Eryue Weicheng walked to a secluded corner and returned the call to the number that called him . Swordfish, one of Arc of Light’s directors, answered the phone, sounding a little more than helpless .

“Something went wrong . ”

“What is the problem? Has the target been caught?”

“Something went wrong with the plan tonight,” Swordfish reiterated . “A powerful guy is helping the union . ”

“Huh?!”

Eryue Weicheng was surprised by what he heard . The union wasn’t small by any means, but not many powerful players had joined them either . As for the slightly more famous players, Arc of Light had come up with a plan to deal with them, where the operation should theoretically have a 100% success rate . Since he had the caliber to become the most powerful guild leader, doubling up as the director of two listed companies, he was used to solving such conundrums . Quickly calming his mind, he asked, “How big is the trouble?”

“Within an hour, he has killed five of our members and also robbed two Grade-C game items from us . He even managed to hack into our OA . He knows our every move . To settle the issue, the guild sent a special operations team to deal with him . They were supposed to seal his skills and defeat him, not to mention how all three were ‘Seven Warlords of the Sea’ level . ”

The most commonly used method among players to evaluate combat power was the rounds of games they completed, but the technique had many shortcomings . First of all, players completing the single-player dungeons were generally stronger than those who completed the quest with a team . In a team, every player developed in a different direction . Some players specialized in combat, for instance .

So Arc of Light developed its combat power rating system based on One Piece . In addition to the Seven Warlords of the Seas, there was an admiral, emperor, and king .

Although the Seven Warlords of the Seas were at the bottom of this system, anyone who was qualified to enter was regarded as a master . Most elite players of the guild couldn’t even make it to this list-out of the three thousand members, only less than a hundred made it . A total of 14 had reached the admiral level . The king level saw even fewer . Eryue Weisheng was one of them, and thus far, nobody had a higher position than him . It was frankly a pointless rating; other than the fact it was cool; it was a One Piece concept . Players from the Strategy Department must have been One Piece otakus . They described the emperor ranked player as having the ability to destroy the world . However, as the guild leader, February Siege further confirmed that the whole point of creating the ranking system was to copy the idea from the original work . It looked perfect since it was based on the number of rounds the player completed . Nonetheless, it was not absolute .

The battle results also had to consider environmental factors, whether one side was weaker against the other, and various other variables . It did not mean that the Seven Lords of the Sea would not defeat the admiral . Like the goons sent by the Arc of Light, they were there to cripple Zhang Heng’s sniping ability and were supposed to suppress him with close-quarters combat . The results, however, was as undesirable as it was unexpected .

“An admiral-level master player?” Eryue Weisheng’s interest was aroused . The first question he asked was the possibility of recruiting Zhang Heng .

“The three players who were killed by him were asked to recruit him . ” Swordfish, on the other end of the phone, smiled bitterly . “But at that time, we thought that guy was also at Seven Lords of the Sea level . So, I guess they were not very polite when they recruit him . Should we try to recruit him again?”

Eryue Weisheng disagreed . Since Zhang Heng had refused the recruitment by action, it was pointless to try again .

After a while, he said, “Let the woman deal with him . She started this incident, so she should end it . ”

On the other side, Zhang Heng had finally entered the urban village .

After losing the information that he acquired from OA, it was impossible to target the Arc of Light’s strike team one by one . So, he decided that he would go to the battlefield to face his enemies .

Xiao Bing, the front line commander, felt she was about to face a tough battle . The other party’s brutal combat methods and terrifying effectiveness had been fully demonstrated in the past hour, the reason why she received no support from headquarters . Otherwise, the war would not have dragged on until now .

The three ‘Seven Lords of the Sea’ leveled players couldn’t even defeat Zhang Heng even after they worked with each other . The men that she had were still fighting the union, and as of now, she did not have anyone strong enough to deal with Zhang Heng . In fact, she was on the ready to retreat a quarter of an hour ago . Like a firefly in the dark, she knew once her opponent dealt with the people she had, he would be coming for her .

As a result, her situation did not look too good now . She did not want to follow in the footsteps of those men that perished on the battlefield . So she has quietly retreated to a small hotel . It seemed like her bad premonition was coming true . After a while, she had lost contact with the team that was supposed to guard the place . Something terrible was about to happen to her . Xiao Bing turned off the light in the room and held a pistol, alone in the guest room’s bathroom, pointing it at the door .
