Their target was level 45, so extra Scrumptious Fish were to be given back to Lu Li.


    Although they had a lot of Scrumptious Fish, he couldn’t possibly make everyone level 45. It was better for him to save as many as he could and ensure that the top yers were taken care of first.


    Lu Li was selective about who got the priority for this. For example, his group members would definitely be included. Only when they reached level 45, they would be able to attempt Stratholme.


    Then, there were also thepetitors like Fat Monkey, Mu Qiu and Kitty Likes Meat. Their priority level was even higher than Lu Li’s group.


    The others were selected based on ss, particrly those who were ying as Tanks or Healers since it was harder for them to level up. Such yers included Global Friendship, Instant Millennia, Darkness and Machine Bro, who would all be future dungeon explorers.


    Besides these three groups of people, the other core yers also received a set portion, but for most of them, this wouldn’t be enough.


    However, they were still very excited. In the blink of an eye, they had obtained enough experience for a week’s worth of effort.


    Regardless of their status, yers often checked their own positions on the rankings.


    For top gamers, this was a method of collecting data. For casual yer, the rankings gave them a goal to pursue.


    Hence, the massive swing on the rankings was immediately noticed.


    Old Man Next Door: God, there’s a bug on the level rankings; the game is about to shut down. Everyone, be quick and sell your gear.


    Storm Warrior: Everyonee out and see God!


    Painted Feathers: One, two, three... 22 level 45s, 76 level 44s...Ruling Sword has taken the entire top-hundred positions of the rankings...


    Lovable Bookworm: This game is impossible; there are too many bugs.


    Interster boy: If there’s no exnation for this, we’re not ying anymore. Is Ruling Sword a guild made by the gamepany itself? Lu Li must be the son’s owner...


    I am Richy Rich: You should talk about the matter itself. He’s too poor to be a son of the owner, especially when he can’t even afford a gaming helmet?


    Man of Darkness: What is going on? Why are all the yers from Ruling Sword leveling up so fast? This isn’t normal at all. Don’t tell me there’s a quest that allows a hundred yers to level up at once.


    Empty Forest: Obviously, it has to be some kind of repeatable quest.


    Zurich: Think about what happened today. What is something from the fishingpetition that can be used to level up? It has to be the Scrumptious Fish. Clearly, the ones purchasing all the Scrumptious Fish today were the Ruling Sword yers.


    Showgirl Chunnie: Haha, I still have some Scrumptious Fish left unsold. Please tell me how to use them.


    The world chat was a mess. Everyone was discussing the top hundred yers on the rankings and objections were growing. They demanded an exnation from the gamepany.


    The gamepany kept quiet. Their phones were constantly ringing, but no yers received an actual exnation.


    Was it because Dawn had already grown so great that they no longer cared about what the yers thought?


    Of course not!


    It wasn’t that thepany didn’t notice, but that they couldn’t do anything.


    As soon as the level charts started to change, they immediately called for a meeting.


    They obviously didn’t want the top hundred positions to be upied by yers from the same guild, especially when apetition was just about to take ce.


    When all thepetitors from Ruling Sword were one level higher than thepetitions from other guilds, the results almost seemed set in stone.


    They couldn’t allow Ruling Sword to be the set winner for thepetition. This was a loss that thepany cannot afford, and the gaming associations would also be in trouble.


    Once the champion team was confirmed, the attention that thepetition received would at least drop by 30%.


    This was equivalent to billions of dors in revenue lost.


    Gamingpanies had established strong rtionships with the gaming association over the years. They profited and lost together so they desperately needed to find a solution.


    But what could they do?


    Block all yers who have reached level forty-five?


    Even though everyone demanded an exnation, if they really banned the yers from Ruling Sword, they would be in even deeper trouble. The fairness of the game would be challenged.


    In the era of virtual gaming, fairness was highly valued.


    Thepany couldn’t interfere with the game itself and they definitely couldn’t punish yers without a good reason.


    Ruling Sword yers had not done anything against the code of conduct.


    The location of the quest NPC was very well hidden. Originally, they thought that a yer was going to find the NPC first, and that everyone else would follow. That way, the excitement around the fishingpetition would improve in the future.


    No one thought that the first yers to find it would be from Ruling Sword. Not only had the guild stayed silent, but they even purchased all the Scrumptious Fish off the market.


    Throughout this entire process, they had yed by the rules.


    "...this is our current problem that we’re facing right now," the assistant exined the entire situation and sat back down.


    "Should we contact the yers of Ruling Sword? We can talk about a solution with them."


    The one responsible for the gaming association was very chubby man, and was gasping from just speaking a few sentences. He had gained his position not just with his wealth, but also with his intelligence.


    "No," the representative for the gaming diplomatic department refused. Although her makeup was well done, everyone could still tell that she was young.


    "Then what should we do?" the chubby man asked before opening his palms and adding, "Ruling Sword has really caused a headache for us this time. Are you guys, as the gamepany, really going to allow them to continue on breaking the rules like this?’


    The association didn’t really like Ruling Sword; they favored the other major guilds since they yed by the rules.


    A regr major guild started out small and slowly grew under the supervision of the association. The top guilds even had their help.


    However, Ruling Sword had never yed by the book. It was as if they had grown into a giant and fearful existence overnight.
