Wen Nan chuckled lightly, not responding to the staff, and under their astonished gaze, he stepped towards the tea house of [Feng Shui Huan].
In just a few minutes, the newly opened tea house was already crowded with players, a bustling crowd, with many showing their account levels, almost all lv1-lv3, with lv4 rarely seen, and not a single bronze.
Wen Nan now had a height advantage; even standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, he could stretch his neck to see the situation inside clearly—
The tea house's main door was open, a low table was set in the middle of the hall with two cushions, one of which seated a young man. The man had dium-length hair tied into a sowhat flamboyant small ponytail at the back and wore a modest gray linen robe, sitting cross-legged at the table to brew tea.
Although the setup appeared to welco guests, the players crowding around the tea house dared not step inside.
"Want to give it a try?"
"This is Feng Shui Huan, after all, the most mysterious of the six major guilds."
"You also said they are one of the six major guilds and the most mysterious. How could they possibly be interested in us?"
"But the other five of the six all clearly state in the entry requirents that you need experience in completing advanced maps, whereas Feng Shui Huan doesn't have such a requirent. Maybe, just maybe, it's the only one we newcors can strive for."
"Ha, don't kid yourself. Have you seen Feng Shui Huan's entry requirents? It's just one sentence, four words—'If destined, then enter.'
"Is it really that ambiguous?"
"Doesn't that just show that us newcors might actually have a chance?"
"Too young, too naive! Have you ever pursued a girl? Any who says their only standard is 'have a good feeling and be able to chat' are impossible to catch, no matter how hard you try!"
"Indeed, the unknown rule, the feared power. The sa logic applies here. The other five guilds at least provide clear entry criteria, but only Feng Shui Huan keeps everything hidden, making it the hardest to join. Otherwise, check the community: among the six major guilds, Feng Shui Huan has the fewest mbers. They truly recruit based on fate."
"Then why did they co to our newbie hall?"
"Could it be... soone special? Like a pivotal star?"
At the ntion of the "pivotal star," the previously lively crowd suddenly fell silent, everyone looking at each other, pondering who that pivotal star might be.
At this mont, a voice erged from the corner—
"Indeed! It is I!"
The crowd turned towards the voice to see a young man with yellow hair, raising his arm high, striding energetically from the crowd towards the tea house.
He plopped himself on the empty cushion, brushed the "glow" atop his head—a white lv4.
At this level, he could be considered quite the standout among these new players.
But... was this really enough for the dignified Feng Shui Huan to co to the newbie hall?
The crowd took a wait-and-see stance, anticipating the drama.
The Feng Shui Huan disciple, upon seeing the yellow-haired man sitting opposite, smiled and raised a bowl of tea, "Young friend, please drink tea."
The yellow-haired man received the tea bowl and gulped it down, "Not bad, tastes pretty good."
Having said that, he wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and got straight to the point: "I want to apply for mbership!"
The disciple retrieved the empty tea bowl, resting it on his palm, glanced down at the tea dregs at the bottom, still smiling, and said, "Sorry, young friend, you and our guild are not destined."
Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired man panicked, slamming the table with his palm, causing the tea bowls and utensils to clatter with a crisp sound.
"How is it not destined? You say it's not, and it's not? Who are you, anyway? Bring out your manager, I want to talk to him.
"Let be clear, you better see this: I just cleared a newbie trial zone and went straight from lv1 to lv4! I ask you, how many in your guild have a leveling speed as impressive as mine?
"With my potential, completing advanced maps is just a matter of ti. In no more than three maps, I'll definitely be silver!"
Seeing this scene, the players standing outside the building shook their heads, sighing silently.
In fact, having just completed one trial map and directly reaching lv4 is indeed a feat. If he could solidly progress, entering the six major guilds wouldn't be a problem.
What a pity, he's as clueless as a blockhead.
A little accomplishnt, and he thinks he's the destined star, unbeatable, looking down on others, and causing a scene in Feng Shui Huan, where they most value etiquette.
Now it's all ssed up. Not to ntion getting into Feng Shui Huan against the odds, after this disruption, even if he gets the chance to pass advanced maps, he shouldn't think of joining any of the six major guilds.
Clearly, he lacks social experience, reckless, pure, and foolish. Once he's been through society's challenges, they will naturally smooth out his rough edges.
Inside the tea house.
After listening to the yellow-haired man's words, the disciple still smiled but silently picked up the tea bowl, indicating it was ti for the guest to leave.
But the yellow-haired man obviously didn't get the hint, continuing to smack the table, raising his voice: "Get your manager out here, missing out on is definitely your loss—"
Before the yellow-haired man's voice could fall, with a "whoosh," he disappeared on the spot.
This scene stunned all the players present.
Indeed, the six major guilds are not sothing newcors at this level can aspire to.
Going to other thousand or ten-thousand-mber large guilds might get you a few sarcastic remarks, then shown the door.
But with Feng Shui Huan, a single misstep, and you're gone?!
This imdiately quashed any budding curiosity the players had.
Recognizing reality, they quickly lost interest in exploring further; after all, everyone's rest ti is limited, and they can't waste it on sothing fruitless.
Having understood this, the players scattered like birds and beasts.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Wen Nan also turned to leave with them.
"Sir, please wait a mont."
A voice sounded in his ear, very close, making it hard for Wen Nan to ignore.
He turned back to see that the disciple who had been preparing tea had sohow walked up to him, looking up at him with a cheerful smile.
"?"
Wen Nan pointed at himself.
The disciple nodded affirmatively, stepped aside to open the path into the tea house, and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, asking, "We've been waiting for you for so ti, might you co inside the tea house for a brief chat?"
The dispersing crowd instantly froze, all eyes simultaneously fixed on Wen Nan.
Is there really a pivotal star among them?
