Xu Boyuan/History

History
Xu Boyuan, a famed veteran, works for Blue Brook Guild. In the Heavenly Domain, he controls Blue Bridge Spring Snow, one of the five top expert accounts of Blue Brook Guild. In order to avoid the rising conflict between him and Poplar Beach, a rival Blade Master in the guild, Changing Spring sends Xu Boyuan to pioneer for Blue Brook Guild in the 10th Server as the guild leader Blue River.

Volume 1: Banished Battle God
Xu Boyuan is shocked that another five-player party won the First Clear for Spider Cave dungeon ahead of his team. Ten seconds later, his team kills Boss #3 Spider Lord. Boyuan is saddened that he cannot find any concrete information on who Lord Grim is aside from Sleeping Moon's slander against Lord Grim. When Boyuan learns that the third hidden boss is killed by Herb Garden, he immediately orders his guild members to find out who Lord Grim is. He worries that Lord Grim is stealing the headlines with three first clears.

Through his Blue River account on the 10th Server, Xu Boyuan sends 18 friend requests to Lord Grim. When Lord Grim accepts one of Boyuan's friend requests, Boyuan negotiates with Lord Grim to help Blue Brook Guild seize the Frost Forest record clear. Boyuan is shocked by Lord Grim's uncommon material demands for 72 Strong Spider Silk, 1 Mithril Pendant, and 8 White Wolf's Sharp Fangs. After haggling, Boyuan feels hesitant about the situation because he does not know Lord Grim's skill level. He doubts the Unspecialized Lord Grim will be able to carry Blue Brook Guild to the record clear of Frost Forest.

Xu Boyuan and his three teammates see Lord Grim's five different types of armor. They doubt Lord Grim is a serious player. Boyuan and his teammates do not understand why Lord Grim has not picked a class. Boyuan is shocked when Lord Grim advises to drop the Cleric, Bound Boat, and the Knight, Flower Lantern, for classes with more damage output. Boyuan is speechless when Lord Grim wants to replace him as party leader.

Xu Boyuan allows Lord Grim to be the leader for the Frost Forest record clear attempt. With Thunderling Light, Returning Cloud, and Lunar Grace, Boyuan follows Lord Grim into the Frost Forest dungeon. Boyuan follows Lord Grim's plan of One Wave Rush to clear the dungeon. Boyuan is shocked when he sees Lord Grim's Z-Shake to dodge enemy projectiles, which requires extremely high mechanical skill.

Xu Boyuan and his teammates are shocked when Lord Grim jumps and escapes the Goblins with Aerial Fire. The Goblins chased after Lord Grim towards Boyuan and the party. Boyuan is amazed by Lord Grim's attack commands, which traditionally does not have crowd control effects on the monsters, yet the mix of attacks creates crowd control. Boyuan is thrilled when he tells Flower Lantern about Lord Grim's One Wave Rush strategy. Boyuan and the team are shocked when they realize Lord Grim outputted more damage than the others in maintaining aggro of the Boss, Goblin Patrol Guard.

Xu Boyuan and team watch Lord Grim suppress the Frost Forest's final Boss, Frost Thain. There is no fear of OT (Off-Tank). Boyuan lies about not having put a point in the Spellblade skill, Wave Wheel Slasher. He is ashamed when Lord Grim teaches him basic knowledge about the skill, which is a useful Super Armor Break skill. The Blue Brook Guild party breaks the Frost Forest record clear with a time of 20 minutes, 24 seconds, and 11 milliseconds. Herb Garden's old record stood high at 26 minutes, 12 seconds, 48 milliseconds. Boyuan is excited by the 5 minute plus improvement over the Herb Garden's time. He has a favorable opinion of Lord Grim, who showed Boyuan some face and respected him. Boyuan boasts about his amazing Frost Forest record clear time to Herb Garden's 10th Server guild leader, Plantago Seed.

Xu Boyuan tells Bound Boat to give 72 Strong Spider Silk, 2 Mithril Pendants, and 8 White Wolf Sharp Fangs to Lord Grim, a large premium over the agreed payment. The 5-minute improvement of the previous record clear saves Blue Brook Guild a lot of time because the new record was almost unbreakable. Boyuan is horrified when Lord Grim leaves the Blue Brook Guild after accepting payment of uncommon items. While Lord Grim walks away, Boyuan accepts the situation. Lunar Grace mentions that Lord Grim is stronger than all of them, which Boyuan reluctantly agrees. Boyuan understands from first-hand experience of meeting an unknown expert, Poplar Beach, who is a Blade Master rival from Blue Brook Guild.

Xu Boyuan talks with Plantago Seed about Lord Grim and the Herb Garden spies in Blue Brook Guild. Boyuan tells Plantago Seed that Lord Grim is out and about, so any guild could recruit him. Boyuan leaves to take care of Blue Brook Guild business.

Xu Boyuan sees Thousand Creations with Lord Grim at Boneyard and finds out that Thousand Creations offended Lord Grim by kill stealing monsters. Boyuan wants to get Lord Grim to join Blue Brook Guild, so he admits to Lord Grim that Thousand Creations is from Blue Brook Guild. Boyuan asks Lord Grim for help to take down Boneyard's Wild Boss, Blood Gunner Yagg, and Lord Grim joins Boyuan's party. Boyuan is shocked when Lord Grim realizes that he replaced Thousand Creations. Boyuan and his forces see Herb Garden. Blue Brook Guild and Herb Garden sit at a standstill with Tyrannical Ambition watching. The Three Great Guilds distrust one another. Boyuan is angry when Endless Night offers Lord Grim a spot in Tyrannical Ambition's position on the battlefield.

When Lord Grim goes to help Thousand Creations with Blood Gunner Yagg, Xu Boyuan's Blue River attacks Endless Night with a Sword Draw. Endless Night rolls backward to dodge. Boyuan leads his forces back, and the Three Great Guilds reorganize their forces. Boyuan is confused why Lord Grim leaves the party to join a random party that attacked the Wild Boss. In the standoff, Boyuan admires Lord Grim's amazing skill at suppressing the Wild Boss. Boyuan calls Thousand Creations to fill in the empty spot previously held by Lord Grim.

Xu Boyuan watches Lord Grim command five random players to suppress Blood Gunner Yagg. He orders Blue Brook Guild to attack the five other players, the Herb Garden forces, and the Tyrannical Ambition forces. Boyuan offers the equipment drops from the Wild Boss to Lord Grim in order to join his party. Boyuan realizes that Lord Grim is not the party leader, and Steamed Bun Invasion is. Boyuan gives the same offer to Steamed Bun Invasion. Boyuan is angered when he sees Blood Gunner Yagg, who is Enraged.

Xu Boyuan realizes that Lord Grim and his party completed a 200-hit combo to enrage Blood Gunner Yagg. Boyuan and his teammates stand within the aggro range of the Blood Gunner's Enrage, which summons the Undead Legion. He is angry and messages Lord Grim. Boyuan realizes that Wild Bosses are meant to be stolen, and it did not matter if Lord Grim steal Blood Gunner Yagg since the Three Great Guilds always steal the Wild Bosses from regular players. Boyuan catches up to Blood Gunner Yagg. He encounters the random firing from the enraged Wild Boss. He watches as Lord Grim kills Blood Gunner Yagg.

Xu Boyuan chases after Lord Grim, who stole Blood Gunner Yagg from Blue Brook Guild. When Thousand Creations fails in the chase to kill Lord Grim, Boyuan tells him to retreat. Boyuan admires Lord Grim's superior skill, but he lost a lot of face to Lord Grim stealing Blood Gunner Yagg. Boyuan talks with his friend, Bound Boat, about Lord Grim's actions and the future of the 10th Server. Boyuan tries to get Lord Grim to join Blue Brook Guild's team to kill the Frost Forest's Wild Boss, Goblin Merchant. He fails because Tyrannical Ambition hires Lord Grim first.

Xu Boyuan slashes the Goblin Merchant with Sword Draw. Boyuan's Blue River fights Lord Grim for aggro of Goblin Merchant. Boyuan fights a losing duel and loses control of aggro of the Wild Boss to Lord Grim. He and Blue Brook Guild chase after Endless Night's party, who pulls Goblin Merchant away. Boyuan and his party fails to steal the aggro of Goblin Merchant from Tyrannical Ambition, who hold excellent control of aggro due to Lord Grim's leading. Boyuan is angered when he sees Herb Garden players flanking Tyrannical Ambition, but he plans to exploit the situation to trap Tyrannical Ambition.

Xu Boyuan splits up his Blue Brook Guild forces into an east team and a west team to cut off Tyrannical Ambition's forces. He tries to split up some of his forces into two-man teams to hunt down the Tyrannical Ambition members. Boyuan realizes that the Tyrannical Ambition players were the decoy to prevent Blue Brook Guild from catching up with the Goblin Merchant. He orders his guild members to give up the fruitless fight for Goblin Merchant and follow Herb Garden.

Xu Boyuan talks to Lord Grim in-game to bid for Lord Grim's skill, which goes nowhere. Boyuan logs out of his Blue River account and logs into his Blue Bridge Spring Snow account. In the Heavenly Domain, he arranges a meeting with the Blue Brook Guild Leader, Changing Spring, to talk about Lord Grim. Boyuan tells his leader of Lord Grim's amazing list of achievements and superior skill. Boyuan runs into his rival, Poplar Beach, who wants to duel Boyuan. Changing Spring stops the two rivals, and Boyuan logs out of the Heavenly Domain to go back to the 10th Server.

Xu Boyuan is shocked by Excellent Dynasty's Frost Forest clear record of 13 minutes, 24 seconds, and 21 milliseconds. He talks with Plantago Seed about his rival's tragedy. Boyuan knows that Excellent Dynasty Frost Forest record surpasses the record clear times on all ten servers. He believes that Excellent Dynasty used some pro level players from their pro team sponsor, Excellent Era.

Xu Boyuan is surprised by Tyrannical Ambition's Frost Forest clear record of 13 minutes, 5 seconds, and 47 milliseconds. He wonders where Lord Grim finds his amazing teammates. Boyuan congratulates Lord Grim for his achievements of breaking Excellent Dynasty's record. Boyuan tells Lord Grim that he is waiting for him to reach level 27 in order to take and to hold the Boneyard record clear.

Xu Boyuan sees Excellent Dynasty reclaim the record clear of Frost Forest with a time of 12 minutes, 55 seconds, and 42 milliseconds. He is confused when he has never seen Excellent Dynasty set ridiculous records before. All of a sudden, Excellent Dynasty breaks Tyrannical Ambition's previous Frost Forest clear record again. Boyuan is happy that his rival guild, Tyrannical Ambition, is beaten back by Excellent Dynasty. He chats with Plantago Seed about these developments. He realizes that Excellent Dynasty uses substitutes from Excellent Era help set amazing record clear times, which non-professional players cannot break. He knows Excellent Dynasty does not have the quality or quantity of experts like Blue Brook Guild, Tyrannical Ambition, or Herb Garden.

Xu Boyuan is shocked by the new Boneyard record clear time from Lord Grim. Boyuan learns that Lord Grim managed to break the record due to leveling and casually dungeoning. When Lord Grim reaches level 27, Boyuan rushes to hire Lord Grim to break and to hold the record clear time of Boneyard. Boyuan is saddened when he needs to sell his Vampiric Lightsaber and eight Bone Spines to Lord Grim for the Boneyard record. Boyuan reluctantly allows Lord Grim to bring a five-man party that will join Blue Brook Guild temporarily to take the record. Boyuan accepts the conditions and the Boneyard record clear attempt starts tomorrow. Boyuan warns Lord Grim that full team substitutions, which is Lord Grim's plan for Boneyard, cannot last for much longer. With full team substitutions by mercenaries like Lord Grim, Blue Brook Guild shows a sign of weakness since the guild's own members cannot set the greatest record clear times on their own. Boyuan asks if Lord Grim will join Blue Brook Guild for the long-term. Boyuan and Lord Grim agree to wait until Lord Grim sets the Boneyard record clear time before any future long-term plans are discussed.

Xu Boyuan congratulates Lord Grim on his hard work for Blue Brook Guild. Boyuan feels that the current Boneyard record clear time of 17 minutes, 22 seconds, and 17 milliseconds is unbreakable. He sends Lord Grim the Vampiric Lightsaber and eight Bone Spines to settle the fee for the Boneyard record. Boyuan sees the Excellent Dynasty's new Boneyard record clear time of 16 minutes, 56 seconds, and 78 milliseconds. He is shocked that Excellent Dynasty beat Blue Brook Guild's record by over 20 seconds.

Volume 2: Beginnings of the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella
Xu Boyuan is speechless when he sees Lord Grim's new Boneyard record clear time of 16 minutes, 24 seconds, and 67 milliseconds. Boyuan is satisfied that Blue Brook Guild holds the Boneyard record clear time. When Lord Grim reaches level 28, Boyuan talks with Lord Grim about extending his stay in Blue Brook Guild. Boyuan learns that Lord Grim is thinking about the future.

Xu Boyuan asks Lord Grim to set the record clear time of Desolate Lands. Boyuan learns that Full Moon Guild hired Lord Grim first. Boyuan is confused on why Lord Grim rejected eight class-specific sets of equipment from Samsara Guild. Boyuan wonders if Lord Grim has an ulterior motive in helping Full Moon Guild. Boyuan discusses with Cold Night about Lord Grim's history with Full Moon Guild's members. Boyuan learns from Bound Boat that Lord Grim is not attempting to break Blue Brook Guild's record at Desolate Lands. Boyuan learns that Lord Grim sold ten Frosted Stones to Blue Brook Guild for a total of 300 gold.

Xu Boyuan discusses with Cold Night about the verbal attacks on Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition's reliance on Lord Grim to set dungeon record clear times. Boyuan goes to the Heavenly Domain to talk to Liang Yichun, the guild leader, about sending elites to contend with Lord Grim on the 10th Server. Boyuan runs into his rival, Poplar Beach, who tries to instigate an argument. For the Desolate Lands dungeon, Boyuan leads a party, which consists of Yichun and three other members of Blue Brook Guild's Five Great Experts. On their third attempt, Blue Brook Guild breaks the record clear time of Desolate Lands with a time of 26 minutes, 31 seconds, and 55 milliseconds. Boyuan knows the new record is not enough to stop Lord Grim's overwhelming record-setting strength. Boyuan learns from his teammates that their record cannot be improved by much. Boyuan anxiously waits to see if Lord Grim challenges the Blue Brook Guild's Desolate Lands record.

Xu Boyuan talks with Bound Boat about Lord Grim's first kill of Fire Witch Cashew. Boyuan realizes that Lord Grim is holding hostage the dungeon record clears and the first kills of wild bosses. Boyuan chats with Lord Grim to figure out on how to deal with Lord Grim's amazing strength. Boyuan learns that Lord Grim will kill wild bosses whenever he wants. Boyuan is shocked, but he realizes that no one has the right to use force to suppress Lord Grim. Boyuan learns that Lord Grim can beat the Blue Brook Guild's record by two minutes. Boyuan gets a list of uncommon items to pay off Lord Grim, so Blue Brook Guild can keep the Desolate Lands record clear time. Boyuan logs off the 10th Server and goes to the Heavenly Domain. He tells his fellow Blue Brook Guild elites about the situation. Boyuan learns from Liang Yichun to relax and to sit out the next Desolate Lands record clear attempt. Boyuan learns that Poplar Beach will replace him.

Xu Boyuan explains to the guild leader, Liang Yichun, that Lord Grim killed Fire Witch Cashew without a MT nor a healer. Unfortunately, Boyuan cannot persuade the four other Five Great Experts about Lord Grim's amazing skill. Boyuan is forced to sit on the side and let the elites of Blue Brook Guild to fight Lord Grim's record clear of Desolate Lands. Boyuan worries about Lord Grim, who remains at level 30, which is a sign that Lord Grim will attempt to break Blue Brook Guild's Desolate Lands record clear. Boyuan is torn between wanting Lord Grim's party to break the Blue Brook Guild record to humiliate Poplar Beach, which will also hurt Blue Brook Guild's reputation on the 10th Server.

Xu Boyuan sees Lord Grim's party break the Blue Brook Guild's Desolate Lands record clear with a time of 22 minutes, 35 seconds, and 22 milliseconds. Boyuan logs off the 10th Server to return to the Heavenly Domain to inform Liang Yichun and the other elites of the bad news. When Boyuan and the Blue Brook Guild elites return to the 10th Server, they are shocked by Lord Grim's new Desolate Lands record clear of 22 minutes, 29 seconds, and 57 milliseconds. Boyuan is opposed to Poplar Beach's unfavorable duel with Lord Grim, but Boyuan has no influence to stop Poplar Beach.

On the 10th Server, Xu Boyuan tells Liang Yichun about Poplar Beach's Arena duel with Chasing Haze. Boyuan explains that Blue Brook Guild is lucky that most people talk about Lord Grim's strength instead of insulting Blue Brook Guild on the world channel. Unfortunately, Boyuan tells Yichun, Bound Boat, and Flying Brushstroke that their guild is attracting less new players. Boyuan agrees with Yichun and Bound Boat to ask their sponsor, Blue Rain, for help to analyze the 10th Server's situation.

On the 10th Server, Xu Boyuan meets with Liang Yichun, the three other Five Great Experts, and Bound Boat. Boyuan is pleasantly surprised to learn that Lord Grim is Ye Xiu because few people know the mysterious and illusive Ye Xiu. Unfortunately, Boyuan and Bound Boat are forced to deal with Ye Xiu with the current resources at his disposal on the 10th Server when the other Blue Brook Guild elites log off. Boyuan agrees with Bound Boat to avoid challenging Ye Xiu at all costs and to allow rival guilds to be crushed by Ye Xiu and his party's overwhelming strength. Boyuan playfully wonders if he can get a signature from Lord Grim, which Bound Boat shoots down. Boyuan decides against getting the signature because it is too shameful. Boyuan and Bound Boat decide to keep Lord Grim's identity a secret.

Volume 3: Golden Strategy
After finishing a Line Canyon dungeon run, Xu Boyuan and his team run into Lord Grim's party, who is fighting against players from Blossom Valley and Tyrannical Ambition. Boyuan is shocked when Ye Xiu greets him. Boyuan leads his team away from the battleground while a Tyrannical Ambition player calls him out as a coward.

Xu Boyuan receives a message from Ye Xiu about the Line Canyon record clear time. Boyuan refuses to hire Lord Grim because Blue Brook Guild needs to maintain its strength and public image without the help of mercenaries. Boyuan is confused about Ye Xiu’s guide to set the Line Canyon record clear time. Boyuan considers Ye Xiu’s offer, which can affect the final Line Canyon record clear attempts. Boyuan turns down Ye Xiu’s offer because Boyuan has an agreement with Tyrannical Ambition to not take the Line Canyon record clear time.

Xu Boyuan sees Ye Xiu’s mob of Christmas thieves. Boyuan listens to Bound Boat and Flower Lantern debate on what to do against Ye Xiu. Boyuan sees that Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim will kill the mob of the Christmas thieves. Boyuan is shocked by the scene of thieves charging at the watch tower. Boyuan stays and watches Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist fight the Christmas thieves. Boyuan orders an attack on the false report of Lord Grim failing to hold back the mob of Christmas thieves. Boyuan halts the charge and waits for Lord Grim to die. Eventually, Boyuan realizes that Lord Grim will kill all of the thieves. To stop wasting time, Boyuan orders Blue Brook Guild to retreat.

Xu Boyuan is delighted when Ye Xiu logs off. Half an hour later, Boyuan is horrified when Lord Grim is back online. Boyuan asks Ye Xiu about his plans to create another mob of Christmas thieves to defeat the guilds’ attempts to move up the leaderboards. Boyuan learns that Ye Xiu is debating whether to create another mob of thieves at the expense of Blue Brook Guild and other large guilds. After thinking about the situation, Boyuan and 11 fellow guild leaders agree to Ye Xiu’s terms to collaborate. Boyuan realizes that Ye Xiu’s strategy is One Wave Rush. Boyuan is thrilled that Blue Brook Guild members are moving up the individual Christmas Hunting leaderboards. Boyuan is worried that Ye Xiu, their super MT, is going to sleep soon. In the early morning, Boyuan goes to sleep. When he returns online, Boyuan admires Lord Grim, who has not slept.

Xu Boyuan accepts Ye Xiu’s Sin City guide. Boyuan agrees to Ye Xiu’s fee of uncommon materials. Boyuan will pay Ye Xiu once Blue Brook Guild acquires the uncommon materials. Boyuan wants to buyout the Sin City guide from Ye Xiu, who sends over the list of uncommon materials. Boyuan is surprised that the price roughly doubled in terms of uncommon materials. Boyuan asks for one day to test out Ye Xiu’s guide before buying out the guide to prevent other guilds from challenging Blue Brook Guild’s Sin City dungeon record clear time. After Blue Brook Guild’s new Sin City record clear time of 28 minutes, 12 seconds, and 52 milliseconds, Boyuan rushes to buy out Ye Xiu’s record guide. Boyuan offers more uncommon materials, but Ye Xiu says the previous price was enough. With a done deal, Boyuan promises to deliver the uncommon materials soon.

After paying the uncommon materials to Lord Grim’s in-game mailbox, Boyuan is thrilled that Blue Brook Guild has sole ownership of Ye Xiu’s Sin City guide. Boyuan asks Ye Xiu for the Thousand Waves Lake dungeon guide. Boyuan sees Ye Xiu’s list of payment, which consists of Sin City uncommon materials. Boyuan wants to buy out the Thousand Waves Lake dungeon. Boyuan cannot afford the buyout price, so he buys a normal Thousand Waves Lake dungeon guide. Boyuan studies Ye Xiu’s guide in order to understand the theory and science behind an amazing record clear.

Volume 4: All-Star Weekend
Xu Boyuan learns about Ye Xiu’s plan to create a guild on the 10th Server. Boyuan rushes to the Heavenly Domain to report to Liang Yichun. Xu Boyuan gets orders from Liang Yichun to compete against Ye Xiu’s Guild happy. Boyuan wants to keep his fairly good relationship with Ye Xiu. Boyuan learns that Herb Garden and Tyrannical Ambition join Blue Brook Guild on trying to sabotage Guild Happy. Boyuan accepts the orders to plant Blue Brook Guild spies into Guild Happy. He organizes open accounts and gathers intelligence on Guild Happy.

With three other Blue Brook Guild spies, Boyuan gets onto an open account to infiltrate Guild Happy. Boyuan looks through the guild members and sees that the majority of Guild Happy members are low-leveled compared to Lord Grim. Boyuan sees other high-level characters, which were probably other spies. Boyuan looks on his friends list to look for other guild leaders, who are gone. Boyuan tells Liang Yichun about the situation. Boyuan goes into a QQ chatroom. He meets Yichun, Arisaema, Cold Night, Plantago Seed, Lonely Drink, and two other infiltrators. Boyuan is worried that Ye Xiu knows the high-level players are spies, which is disregarded by the other spies. As a spy, Boyuan follows Ye Xiu and the party in attacking the Guardian.

Xu Boyuan realizes that Cleansing Mist is Su Mucheng, who has peak synergy with Ye Xiu. Boyuan is surprised by the high-precision aggro control of Ye Xiu and Mucheng. Boyuan realizes that he cannot sabotage the quest because Ye Xiu holds an iron grip on the instructions and aggro control of the Guardian. Boyuan realizes that the Guardian will die to Ye Xiu and Mucheng’s perfect aggro control. Boyuan learns that the spying guilds will sacrifice spies in an attempt to stop Ye Xiu. When the two sacrificial spies are ruthlessly kicked out by Ye Xiu for poor positioning, Boyuan is shocked by Ye Xiu’s decisive action. Boyuan and the other guild leaders deal with Ye Xiu’s ultimatum to the spies to stay or to leave Guild Happy. Boyuan is at a standstill on the spies who will leave or who will stay. After watching the chat between guild leaders, Boyuan feels extremely tired. He decides to stay in Guild Happy as a spy, which shocks Liang Yichun and the other guild leaders. Boyuan watches two Blue Brook Guild spies leave Guild Happy.

Xu Boyuan is surprised that Ye Xiu sends out a friend request to his spy account. Boyuan thinks that Ye Xiu knows who he is and cautiously accepts Ye Xiu’s friend invite. Boyuan goes to the Arena and sees Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim dueling Chicken Feather. Boyuan sees that Chicken Feather is a new player, who was easily suppressed to death by Ye Xiu. Boyuan’s Peerless Looks fights against Ye Xiu. Boyuan initiates with a Sword Draw, which is dodged by Ye Xiu. After being countered, Boyuan rolls away. Boyuan’s Peerless Looks is suppressed to death without landing an attack on Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim. Boyuan leaves the Arena with Ye Xiu. Boyuan is shocked that Ye Xiu correctly guesses his identity. Boyuan is surprised that Ye Xiu wants him to help manage Guild Happy. Boyuan thinks about being a “babysitter” for Guild Happy’s 500 members. Boyuan reluctantly accepts the job of managing Guild Happy.

Xu Boyuan wonders why Ye Xiu allows him to stay as long he wants. Boyuan knows that he is now managing Blue Brook Guild and Guild Happy, which will greatly divide his valuable time. He decides to delay his decision to leave Guild Happy for 5 days. Boyuan participates in defeating the Level 2 Guardian. Boyuan feels accomplished when he sees the celebrations in the Guild Happy chat. Boyuan’s Peerless Looks becomes the second most famous player in Guild Happy after Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim. Boyuan learns from Ye Xiu about Seven Fields, Sleeping Moon, Drifting Water, Sunset Clouds, and their 4 friends. Boyuan learns that these 8 veteran players can help in training new players and managing the guild. Boyuan sees 8 friend notifications from Ye Xiu’s recommendations. Boyuan sets up the schedules and the roles for Seven Fields and the 7 other veteran players. Boyuan learns that Ye Xiu lacks the high-level manpower to challenge the powerful guilds in dungeon record clear times.

Xu Boyuan logs off his Peerless Looks account and logs onto his Blue River main 10th Server account. Boyuan has to level up his Blue River account to keep pace with the top accounts on the tenth server. Boyuan learns that Ye Xiu wants to dig up or poach players from the top guilds to help Guild Happy. Boyuan claims that there is no one. When he thinks about it, Boyuan realizes that Thousand Creations is a player, who could easily leave Blue Brook Guild to join Guild Happy. Boyuan learns that Ye Xiu sends a friend invite to Thousand Creations and persuades Thousand Creations with his real identity as the retired Ye Qiu to leave Blue Brook Guild. Boyuan allows Thousand Creations to leave.

Xu Boyuan explains to the Blue Brook Guild members why Thousand Creations left. Boyuan gets away with an elusive answer because Thousand Creations is a highly unpopular player. Boyuan learns that Ye Xiu needs another player, who will be a Launcher. On the level standings of the high-level players, Boyuan sees that Ye Xiu recruited Horse Shooter, a Launcher from Misty Castle, to join Guild Happy. Boyuan goes to a guild leader group chat to see the leaders panicking about Guild Happy poached one player each from Blue Brook Guild and Misty Castle.

In the group chat, Xu Boyuan reveals that Lord Grim is Ye Qiu, the legendary 3-time Glory Pro Alliance champion. When Chen Yehui refuses to fight against Guild Happy, Boyuan believes the rumors of Ye Qiu being forced out of Excellent Era. Boyuan thinks that Lord Grim suppressing Excellent Dynasty is clear evidence of retribution against Excellent Era, which purged Ye Qiu from the club. Boyuan agrees with the other guild leaders to focus on killing the high-level characters of Guild Happy.

With the Blue Brook Guild elite team, Xu Boyuan hides in a small forest along the shore. Nearby, he sees Herb Garden’s players. After half an hour, Boyuan does not hear any reports of Lord Grim, Cleansing Mist, Soft Mist, or other elites from Guild Happy. Boyuan joins the other ambushers in chasing after Thousand Creations. Boyuan is worried that Ye Xiu and his elites patiently set a trap for the top guilds. Boyuan is conflicted to tell Yichun about Ye Xiu’s possible trap because Boyuan could not reveal his information originated from Thousand Creations.

Xu Boyuan hears about Ye Xiu’s assassination of a 10th Server Misty Castle dungeon team at Thousand Waves Lake. Boyuan explains to the other guild leaders that Ye Xiu is never going to lose dominance on the 10th Server. Boyuan believes the only viable option is to allow Ye Xiu to stabilize Guild Happy on the 10th Server and prepare for the nightmarish fight in the Heavenly Domain. Boyuan reveals that Ye Xiu’s Unspecialized Lord Grim will ascend to the Heavenly Domain at level 50 because of the level cap on Unspecialized accounts on regular servers. After Boyuan explains the future chaos that Ye Xiu will bring to the Heavenly Domain, Boyuan feels less stressed.

Xu Boyuan is forced to negotiate with Ye Xiu by the other guild leaders. Boyuan suggests that there are no guarantees to the negotiations. In the end, Boyuan refuses to be the negotiator. Boyuan sees Cold Night’s message of ceding Thousand Waves Lake to Ye Xiu or paying up uncommon materials to Ye Xiu. Boyuan sees Ye Xiu’s list of uncommon materials to sue for peace and suggests the payment is bearable if all of the guilds pay a portion.

Xu Boyuan leaves the group chat. He goes to Ye Xiu to look for peace for Blue Brook Guild. Boyuan pays the appropriate uncommon materials for peace and for access to Thousand Waves Lake. Boyuan has his dungeon teams to turn on their guild tags to prevent themselves from accidental assassination by Ye Xiu at Thousand Waves Lake. Boyuan is shocked that Ye Xiu wants insider information about the other guilds’ plans. Boyuan threatens Ye Xiu that the pro players will come to the 10th Server to shut him down. Boyuan is exposed for his lies when Ye Xiu finds out that no pro players are going to the 10th Server. Boyuan is shocked by Ye Xiu’s insane efficiency when he learns that Ye Xiu sees another Misty Castle team.

Xu Boyuan feels conflicted on sending information to Ye Xiu to hunt down the Boyuan’s competitive guild opponents. Boyuan learns that someone assassinated Thundering Light. Boyuan learns that an Herb Garden player assassinated Thundering Light. Under Liang Yichun’s orders, Boyuan feeds information about the enemy guild members’ locations to Ye Xiu. Boyuan keeps leveling on his Blue River account. In the water, Boyuan is ambushed by four Herb Garden players. Boyuan sees one of his opponents is Plantago Seed. Under constant harassment and damage from the Herb Garden players, Boyuan swims away to retreat. Boyuan leads his ambushers to Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim. With Chen Guo’s Soft Mist, Boyuan destroys his opponent. Boyuan returns to leveling.

Xu Boyuan learns from Ye Xiu that the other elite guilds have paid for peace or have fled Thousand Waves Lake. Boyuan is surprised by Ye Xiu’s invitation to dungeon at Thousand Waves Lake. Boyuan rejects Ye Xiu’s invitation. With Bound Boat, Boyuan looks for a party to join to dungeon at Thousand Waves Lake. Boyuan and his party dies to the second boss when someone makes a mistake. Boyuan sends a player to Ye Xiu’s dungeon team and sends Bound Boat to Flower Lantern’s dungeon team. Boyuan goes to Sin City to level his Blue River account.

Volume 6: Mainstream Tank
Over a normal system announcement, Xu Boyuan sees Lord Grim return to the 10th Server. Boyuan asks Ye Xiu why he is back. Boyuan learns that Ye Xiu is looking to kill the Aquamarine Knight for the Aquamarine rare material. Boyuan tells Ye Xiu that he has no Aquamarine. Boyuan reveals to Ye Xiu that Tyrannical Ambition, Herb Garden, and Excellent Dynasty each killed the Aquamarine Knight once. Boyuan explains that Guild Happy is stable and is growing well. He learns that Ye Xiu is going to set up a storage system for Guild Happy. Boyuan realizes that Ye Xiu is intending to build up Guild Happy to compete against the professional club guilds.

On guild chat, Xu Boyuan sees Ye Xiu’s message to steal the Aquamarine Knight from the big guilds. Boyuan joins up with the other 10th Server guild leaders in a discussion group about dealing with Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim. Boyuan stands on the sideline while he sees Cold Night, Plantago Seed, Lonely Drink, Backlight Bomb, and Hazy Mist speculate on how to combat Lord Grim. Boyuan learns that Herb Garden stalkers are watching Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion’s movements, which are not heading towards the Western Desert.

In the discussion group, Xu Boyuan learns that Lord Grim’s alleged goal is the Setting Sun Hunter at Almarshan. Boyuan goes to sleep. At 3:07 P.M., he wakes up to learn that the Aquamarine Knight spawned in the Western Desert. In the group chat, Boyuan sees the other guild leaders absorbed into the chaos with the Aquamarine Knight and the Guild Happy army. Boyuan oversees the chaos in the group discussion as the other guild leaders are horrified by the catastrophe of fighting Aquamarine Knight and his knights with mostly normal players.

Xu Boyuan hears from his spies that Ye Xiu successfully kills and secures the rare material drops from Aquamarine Knight. Boyuan learns from Ye Xiu that Guild Happy got a Desert Badge, a decent piece of Orange equipment. Boyuan gives Ye Xiu a copy of the Blue Brook Guild storage system for Ye Xiu to model Guild Happy’s after. Boyuan is angry that Ye Xiu forgets to replace the Blue Brook Guild name in the rules. Boyuan writes another storage system document and sends it over to Ye Xiu.

Volume 7: New Champions
Xu Boyuan hears of Lord Grim’s return to the 10th Server. Boyuan organizes spies to monitor Lord Grim’s movements. He learns that Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim is running quests and wonders if there is a secret motive. After resigning from his 10th Server guild leader job, Boyuan returns to the Heavenly Domain. On his first big guild mission, he leads Blue Brook Guild to fight for a wild boss, Sewer King Lookashoo. Boyuan learns from his dead teammates that Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim is ambushing his reinforcements. Afterward, Boyuan is attacked by Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim and Bao Rongxing’s Steamed Bun Invasion. Boyuan hears Ye Xiu’s warning to retreat. Boyuan is suppressed by Rongxing.

Xu Boyuan sees more players swarming the location. He runs toward Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim and ambushes him. Boyuan dodges Bao Rongxing’s Brick attack and is hit by Ye Xiu’s Brick. Boyuan is suppressed to death by Rongxing’s Steamed Bun Invasion and Tang Rou’s Soft Mist. He orders Blue Brook Guild to retreat from the area.
