"The information is that the item dropped by the fifth floor boss is an absolutely rare item. Some people think they should keep their promise and share the item with DKB, but others have raised objections."

A rare item is crucial for every guild and every individual; it's the lifeline for survival.

support.

So you can imagine how intense the debate was at this meeting.

Sivata's eyes were downcast; he seemed not to have recovered yet. Then, in a hoarse voice, he asked, "What do you mean by rare items?"

Lytton shook her head.

"I have no idea about that either; it's a top secret of the guild, and it's beyond my reach given my position."

"is it?"

Shivata's voice grew even hoarser, and he sighed softly. Asuna, however, looked at Lin Yan. Her admiration for Lin Yan led her to conclude that he was omniscient and omnipotent—

god!

Lytton also looked at Lin Yan. In her estimation, Lin Yan, with such amazing strength, must be a closed beta tester, or even a more powerful one.

Lin Yan calmly uttered a single word.

“Flag…………”.

“Flag…………”

Lin Yan said it casually, while the other two people showed incredulous expressions, and even Asuna looked puzzled.

"flag?"

Asuna was slightly taken aback, then asked in return.

At the same time, the image of the pennant appeared in her mind, but she still didn't understand why Lin Yan would mention the flag at this time. Was there something fishy about it?

At crucial moments, Lin Yan always comes up with ideas that others can't.

This is something that even Asuna couldn't match.

What's wrong with the flag?

Sivata had the same question: "What does this have to do with rare items?"

"It's the guild flag. Don't forget, the guild flag also has another buff: when it's raised, all guild members within a 15-meter or 20-meter radius receive a buff that increases all their attributes."

Lin Yan's words left everyone speechless.

Especially Siwata.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened, but he couldn't utter a single word. After a long pause, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

The sound was even somewhat shrill.

"This this……"

After parting ways with Sivata and Lytene, Asuna still had many questions in her mind, but Lin Yan seemed to have obtained crucial information. Sometimes, Asuna felt a constant sense of distance.

That's the distance between him and Lin Yan.

He was unlike anyone Asuna had ever met before, and seemed to possess his own independent way of thinking.

"Okay!"

A cheerful voice interrupted Asuna's thoughts.

Asuna looked into the distance and saw Argo, the intelligence clerk with three mustaches painted on her face. However, her dark circles and tired eyes were obvious and could not be hidden.

"We were just about to look for you. Have you made any important discoveries?"

Argo said.

Asuna hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, while Lin Yan nodded calmly.

"I understand the motivation behind the ALS project's early deployment strategy."

Hear this.

Argo immediately perked up. She had a feeling that if Lin Yan got involved, they would definitely make a breakthrough.

This is a remarkable person.

It's hard to imagine.

"really?"

"Ah."

Lin Yan's expression remained calm, a stark contrast to Argo's overflowing excitement. Argo seemed to realize his rudeness, and blushed slightly as he quieted down, muttering, "As expected of the man in black."

"ALS's motivation is probably the rare item [GuildFlag]."

"Guild... Flag? What kind of rare item is a flag?"

"When a player equips the item and places it on their guild, all guild members within a radius of about 20 meters will receive a support effect that increases ATK, DEF, and resistance to obstacles."

Lin Yan said.

Such rare information is generally only known to a few closed beta testers, and although Argo knew of Lin Yan's strength, he did not expect him to be this powerful.

Even Argo, an intelligence broker, felt inferior to him.

This man is simply—

0150 Lin Yan? An omniscient and omnipotent god! [Please subscribe]

Lin Yan! This man is practically a know-it-all?!

Omnipotent and omniscient?

god!

He is God!

A towering peak suddenly rose in Argo's heart. That was Lin Yan, and she firmly believed that Lin Yan would bring about a different kind of change to the world.

"No...it can't be right?"

Argo swallowed hard, her round eyes widening like walnuts, and her small mouth gaping open enough to fit an egg.

His eyes were filled with shock.

Incredible.

"What are the conditions for the buff? What is its range? Is it movable? What is its duration? Is there an upper or lower limit on the number of people affected?"

Argo had too many doubts in his heart.

After all, the impact of such news is very strong.

However, being able to raise so many questions in such a short time is something an ordinary person cannot do, and this is also Argo's strength as an intelligence broker.

Agile thinking.

"There are conditions: the flag must be planted in the ground. Once it leaves the ground, the buff will disappear, but it will return when planted again. There is no limit to the number of participants, but they must be guild members."

"It seems this flag isn't a panacea after all."

Argo muttered to himself.

If there were no restrictions on whether the flag must be planted in the ground, and no limits on the number of times or the number of participants, then the flag buff would be invincible.

"Even so, it was enough to make ALS's Tooth King take the risk."

Argo said thoughtfully.

This would be a huge temptation for any guild.

It's like a cake that smells sweet.

Or perhaps it's the fragrant flowers that are a deadly temptation for bees.

"How exactly did that troublemaker find out about the items?" Argo asked, somewhat dejectedly. Obtaining information was usually the domain of information brokers.

But someone else beat them to it.

This is a shame.

"Maybe the other party is also a former tester...?" Asuna's words were meant to comfort her, especially when she saw the dejected look in Argo's eyes, she felt even more sorry for him.

Closed beta testing, or closed testing, means testing the basics of a game with a small number of people.

The initial testing of a game, conducted by game company personnel or a small number of players in the early stages of development, is primarily a technical test.

After the closed beta test ends, it usually enters the internal beta test, and after the internal beta test ends, it enters the public beta test.

To save money, many game companies release a small number of closed beta accounts through different platforms for some players to try out the game and find bugs.

After testing by a very small number of players, they reported the bugs and existing problems to the game company.

The closed beta test may be conducted multiple times, such as a first closed beta test, a second closed beta test, etc.

After the closed beta test, there will be internal testing, stress testing, and public testing.

The game company will collect various data, bug reports, and every piece of feedback and suggestion from players during the testing process. All of this work is to ensure that the game is more complete and fun when it is officially released.

Closed beta testers essentially have a chance to "practice" before the official game starts, allowing them to gather more information.

This gave them an advantage.

"Aren't there more important things than sources of intelligence?"

Lin Yan and Asuna exchanged a glance and said.

Asuna understood perfectly.

She wouldn't reveal the group's PK to Argo, adding, "Yes, what's more important is the next move."

"It is impossible to convince ALS without any evidence."

Argo said.

She was at her wit's end.

At the same time, he looked at Asuna with some confusion. Asuna, in turn, was equally confused and somewhat at a loss.

Her gaze fell on Lin Yan...

"what should we do?"

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes sharpening like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, gleaming with a terrifying edge.

Generally speaking, Lin Yan is always more indifferent than the average person.

And at this moment he.

But a different expression appeared on his face.

“Perhaps we can leak the information to DKB?” Asuna said first, her brows still furrowed.

"That will surely give Lind a strategy."

"That's a good idea."

Argo said with a smile.

She was somewhat surprised by Asuna's quick thinking.

"Compared to Tooth King, Lind is easier to communicate with. It's also more appropriate for him to negotiate with ALS than for any of us to do so."

Although Lin Yan is the legendary man in black.

His 'great achievements' are well-known, but Lin Yan's identity is too sensitive, and it is not appropriate for him to interfere too much in the affairs of other guilds.

of course.

If Lin Yan resorts to violence to coerce him.

Even Ya Wang and Lin De probably wouldn't have any objections. Besides being cruel, this world is also a dog-eat-dog world.
