Chapter 776: Chapter 776 – rger
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Brother Assist, War Without Wounds and Royal God Call were all nodding their head repeatedly when Sword Demon ntioned that they have an astoundingly huge advantage, while Young Master Han shook his head on the contrary, “Theoretically speaking, yes. Presently, the attitude of all the large guilds are more along the lines of fawning and pleasing Miles, so even if they do have qualms, they are all hidden deep in the recesses of their own hearts. But if Miles continues to refuse to give everyone face, forcing so many people to back into a corner with no leeways available, there would surely be a day when a dog would jump up the walls in its anxiety1. When that day cos, Miles would really beco public enemy no.1, and beco a rat crossing the street2.”
“Would Miles be afraid?” War Without Wounds was not at all concerned.
“He won’t, but what if the other party uses so rather coercive ans?” Young Master Han said.
“What do you an by that?” War Without Wounds asked.
“Threatening the safety of his loved ones. Have you never watched such plots in films or television shows? Putting into the context of the ga, take you or for example, or even the ladies from Athyst Rebirth. What if the other party chooses to hunt these people down incessantly, and use that to threaten Miles? Given Miles’ character, what do you guys think he’ll do?” Young Master Han said.
“Uh.....” After everyone spent a mont in deep thought, Sword Demon spoke up, “Miles would most likely request those who cannot protect themselves to first hide together, and then he’ll go out and risk his life to hunt down those predators by himself....”
“That’s right, that is Miles’ style...” War Without Wounds concurred.
“In any case, I feel like he isn’t soone who would be under duress,” Royal God Call stated.
“Especially in this ga, it’s actually very easy to avoid this sort of peril. All we have to do is just randomly change our city for so days, who knows who’s going to end up dead when we return...” Brother Assist said.
Everyone nodded in unison, though Royal God Call seed to look like he still had words left unsaid. After a mont of hesitation, he finally found the courage to voice it out, “More importantly, would there be anyone who would be able to do sothing as despicable and shaless like this aside from yourself?”
The others were startled when they heard him utter this, all of them getting a slight feeling that they were about to see a hurricane coming. Unexpectedly, Young Master Han simply scornfully replied, “At the end of the day, I still can’t comprehend the wisdom and consciousness of you mortals.”
All the mortals instantly flashed a look of anger, unable to comprehend this man too as they continued to collate the statistics for their two Precincts.
The cities were rather large in size, and the area of these two Precincts in the city was hardly small either, especially when Sword Demon and the guys intend to walk every street and alley. This was hardly an easy task, and in the end, people like Royal God Call and War Without Wounds ended up losing interest in this boring task of strolling about, leaving just Brother Assist and Sword Demon still focused on the job while Young Master Han was rely concentrating on interacting with his liquor. By the ti they were done with everything, the five of them returned back to the guild residence that the system had gifted them with their reward. Royal God Call and War Without Wounds were soon sprawling on the ground after the two n entered the building as Sword Demon and Brother Assist began to carefully flip through and sort the data they had just collected.
At the mont, the five of them were not the only players who had co to view the new residence. As the guild leader, Sword Demon had not set up any restrictions on who could enter the place, so players were free to enter as long as they were mbers of Extrely Heaven Defying. Everyone inside all ca crowding around when they saw the true core mbers of their guild enter.
These players had managed to benefit after joining Extrely Heaven Defying in this City Wars event, but none of them had built up any sort of emotional connection with the guild until now; all of them just seed like a tour group that had been strung up together at the last minute. Right now, plenty of them had realized the bright future that lay ahead of this guild, so they were each beginning to work hard to integrate themselves into the environnt, so of course establishing a good relationship with these core executives was one of the most important aspects to focus on.
“Shall we get Boss Sword Demon to say a few words to us?” Soone inveigled. It was fairly impressive that there were people who were aware that their guild leader was actually Sword Demon. Quite a good number of them had even confusingly believed that Thousand Miles Drunk was the boss for their guild.
Sword Demon had a good attitude to him, but he was serious in his tone and there was no humor in his speech. Frankly speaking, he gave a very boring speech, yet it still earned him applause and cheer from the players present.
Gazing upon this room of unfamiliar faces and the din they were making, Sword Demon felt a lot of emotions well up inside him. Guild. I’ve ultimately still ford one of my own huh? I wonder how all my old comrades are doing now.
Sword Demon naturally had his own posse of comrades when he was playing online gas before. There was even quite a good number who had coincidentally spawned in the sa city as him, but these people stopped following Sword Demon due to several reasons, including the incident where he lost to Gu Fei, his appearance and other unfavorable factors. They did not bother maintaining any sort of correspondence after they left either, with not even so much as a ssage to extend their regards.
While Sword Demon continued to spend ti in Parallel World, he would occasionally hear a bit about IGNs he was once familiar with from the lips of other players. They did not continue to gather either, as everyone had each left to make their own marks in the ga after being disappointed by Sword Demon. They had each found a guild to develop, and until now, he had not heard anyone of his old friends’ popularity growing in Yunduan City, or that any of them had beco a core mber of so other guild either.
Looking at this whole bunch of new guild mbers right now, Sword Demon was suddenly reminded of those old friends of his. He was experiencing a rather emotional reminisce when he faintly heard people asking.
“Guild leader, what ti will there be guild activities every day?”
“Guild leader, which day is it when you would lead us to quest?”
“Guild leader, what ti will the daily missions be refreshed?”
“Guild leader, where will our guild be going to farm gold?”
Sword Demon was quite taken aback by this. These questions were giving him a sense of deja vu, and it was like he had really found himself back in square one again. Brother Assist presud that Sword Demon was a little bit stunned at the mont, so he leaped out to help Sword Demon answer them, “Everyone, don’t panic. This is just the first step for our guild, and I’m sure everyone is aware that we have yet to rge with Athyst Rebirth as well. When the players over there join us, we’ll proceed to set out the activity plans and finer details altogether.”
Everyone was quiet as they listened, but what got Brother Assist so excited right now was not actually what they asked. He was still preoccupied with the tour that he got of both the city Precincts under their guild’s supervision, and when he saw there were so many people hearing him speak, he could not hide it any further as he changed the topic of conversation, “Gentlen, are you guys aware? Now that we possess city Precincts, they would prove to be a huge advantage over all the guilds that do not have any Precincts of their own. As long as we do a good job managing the real estate business in these areas, a daily inco of gold coins would not be a dream any longer!”
“WHAT?!” The players were of course very happy to learn they could earn coins.
“Co on, gather around. I’ll give you guys a general overview of our Precincts,” Brother Assist had his book open, diving into it with great enthusiasm. Thirty minutes instantly passed, and half of his listeners were already yawning, while the other half were having a quiet conversation by the side.
“This is Brother Assist? He’s really soone who can g*dd*mn speak!”
“I heard all he does is hang around in the forums who would keep bumping his post! Why is he also soone who would talk non-stop in person as well!?”
“Holy sh*t, all this information about how many properties are there in a precinct, the number of which are empty, how many are owned by guilds and how many are privately owned... The man’s truly talented.”
“He has my fullest admiration.”
The players continued to exclaim while they painfully withstood listening to Brother Assist continue to rattle on without caring for the people around him. Sword Demon and the others did not go up to interrupt him either, as it had been a long ti since Brother Assist had so thrillingly given an audience a detailed informational rundown.
This day passed by really quickly. Gu Fei had returned from beyond the walls, but was afraid that he would be spotted by the people again, so he very quickly rushed to a spawn point and logged out. Sword Demon and the rest spent the entire day planning out just how their guild would develop and what sort of activities they would engage in in the future. This discussion was not just between Sword Demon and the others from the Young Master’s Elite rcenary group; Drifting, Cirrus and Southern Lone Blade with the other experts... All these more unfamiliar yet also vaguely chummy players had joined in as well.
First, everyone organized every guild mber’s level, equipnt, and other details, before Southern Lone Blade and the other experts personally pointed out a few players who left a deeper impression based upon their performance during actual combat from before. Next, they grouped these hundred or so players up into level grinding, questing, farming, profession skill grinding and other such parties. Attempting to coordinate such a large sum of people and making the necessary arrangents was hardly an easy task, and all of them ended up burning the midnight oil as they noisily worked at this. This had proven to be a far more troubleso affair than when they were dealing with the letters for the efficient monster grinding routines the last ti.
Furthermore, the conflicting ideas that each of them held began to erge as well. Take people like Drifting who were more used to being more free and undisciplined; he was not at all onboard with planning so activities that were happening on fixed schedules. Then there were Southern Lone Blade and his squad. As professional players who depended on the ga to earn a living, they had no problem being in a guild, but that depended specifically on just how much profit could the guild bring in, which translated into how much real-world currency they could bring in every month. If it was all about constantly leveling, strengthening themselves to beco number 1 in Yunduan City, then the whole of Parallel World... These n were completely uninterested in guilds that were caught up with these sort of aspirational ideals.
As such, every one of them each has differing opinions, and the argunt that they had was endless, only leaving them all with a headache after the night had ended. As the guild leader, Sword Demon discovered that there was actually still a very long road ahead.
——————————————————————
Logging on the next day, mbers of both Extrely Heaven Defying and Athyst Rebirth had all finished retrieving their rewards from the Logistics departnt, but on the matter of rging the two guilds, they would need to all the mbers of both guilds to be present when submitting the rger application to the Hall of Guild Creations, the current guild leader of Athyst Rebirth, Thousand Miles Drunk, happened to have very irresponsibly been offline, which caused everyone to go through the trouble of waiting for him to turn up.
They ended up waiting for an entire day, as it just so happened that Gu Fei only calmly logged into the ga after he had finished his dinner. The ti he spent in the ga during the last few days when the City Wars event was going on had been exceptionally long. The man had been taking note of his own physical fitness during this period, and had originally intended to not log on into Parallel World for several days. But after the players in the ga had truly got tired of waiting, it was fortunate that Brother Assist had gotten a hold of Gu Fei’s contact number the last ti they were handling the efficient monster grinding routines, so he was able to directly log out and get on the phone to hurry the man. When Gu Fei heard that everyone had actually been waiting to do everything, he had been rather embarrassed and very quickly logged in.
“We’re all waiting for you at the Hall of Guild Creation,” Sword Demon ssaged.
“Can’t I just transfer the role of guild leader to soone else?” Gu Fei asked.
“Take a look and see who you can pass it to,” Sword Demon said.
Gu Fei pulled open the mbers’ list for the guild and glanced through it once. Each and every na there was foreign to him; the nas that he recognized like July and the other ladies had all disappeared.
“Where’s July and the others?” Gu Fei was surprised.
“They’ve already left the guild,” Sword Demon said. The ladies of Athyst Rebirth had successively left the guild after they had all gotten their rewards from their participation in the City Wars, and they had ntioned this matter to the mbers of the guild too. These ladies had once been used to advertise and recruit new mbers, so a good number of players had the feeling like they had been duped by false advertisent now that these ladies had announced they were going to leave. This situation left Sword Demon in quite the awkward spot as well, but he had to respect the ladies’ choice and had no choice but to thicken his skin and bear this.
Even all the players found this to be very unfortunate and truly regrettable, and this matter did not cause too much of a trouble in the end. There were so who were determined to follow suit and follow the ladies, and Fireball stepped out to suggest that they leave for Forever In Flowers instead, and it turned out to be a perfect match. It was but a brief encounter, but Forever in Flowers found their ranks bolstered with several unyieldingly reprehensible n.
While they were no longer in the sa guild, those who were in his friends’ list still remained. Gu Fei saw July, Luo Luo and the others were all online, so he sent a ssage to express his condolence.
“We’re here in the Hall of Guild Creations too!” July replied. “When the two guilds rge, you’ll be using Extrely Heaven Defying as your guild na, so I’ll snatch the guild na ‘Athyst Rebirth once again. How is it, do you still want to co back and join us?”
“I... I think I’ll pass!” Gu Fei laughed dryly.
“However, the ladies and I all agree that we will confer you as an honorary mber,” July said.
“Is that so? I guess I’ve made so rather substantial contributions then!” Gu Fei remarked amusingly.
“I guess you can say that indeed!” July said.
Gu Fei continued to chat as he made his way to the Hall of Guild Creations. The location was even more crowded than he had expected, and with a quick glance, the approximately hundred or so people here were all from the two guilds. The first one to spot Gu Fei’s arrival was Fireball, who imdiately ca running over, telling Gu Fei that in order to celebrate this montous occasion of the two guilds rging, everyone would head out to the wilderness to host a bonfire party, and that the invitation to the ladies of Athyst Rebirth as well.
“How very fun...” Gu Fei coughed a hollow laughter. He was thinking of imdiately logging out and heading back to rest after the rger was over, but it was apparent that his plans might not go through that easily. Would Sword Demon and those guys let him go? There was no way Gu Fei would not reciprocate accordingly when such kindness was extended to him. He could not possibly just slay all these players who would refuse to let him log out of the ga, could he?
Sure enough, it was exactly as he had expected. When he reached the building, Sword Demon and the others were already there, and they imdiately ca over to inform him about the activity that would be happening later that night. It was basically their way of telling Gu Fei to participate, and it was not up for discussion. Seeing everyone so interested in this, Gu Fei was also infected by their shared excitent and nodded in agreent. Afterward, he went together with Sword Demon to find the NPC in charge of rgers, and with how efficient the system did things, all it took was the ti for the two n to each go through the steps to officialize the rger and all the mbers of both guilds received a system prompt: [The guild Athyst Rebirth and Extrely Heaven Defying have rged together. The new guild will be called Extrely Heaven Defying, level 4. The guild leader is Sword Demon, with a total count of 134 mbers.]
“YEAH!!!” The over hundred players all cheered loudly, providing the system prompt with a very robust sound effect. anwhile, Sword Demon had also sent out a single ssage in the guild channel, “Extrely Heaven Defying has officially been established!!”
“Let’s set out for the wilderness!” Sword Demon gave out the order in the next mont. This bonfire night party activity was the conclusion that they ca to after a night of discussion. Considering how abrupt these two guilds had been established, their manpower had also been gathered through extraordinary ans. Everyone hardly knew each other, so Sword Demon was hoping that through this one bonding activity, the guild mbers would be able to build up their relationship with one another first.
Extrely Heaven Defying had a total of 134 players, and because the ladies from Athyst Rebirth that had also been invited were also all present in the Hall of Guild Creations, the total number of this contingent was close to 200 players, and it was this large group of players that set off from the city. The newly rged guild had everyone noisily engaged in a guild wide discussion in the guild channel, and they were currently complaining about a very huge problem in the guild: they were all n!
When players who discovered this problem pointed out how that in the beginning, they had all been invited to a guild that claid to be all ladies, so how did it turn out that there was not even a single lady left? The contrast was simply too great. Of course, those who raised this matter for discussion were not trying to make things awkward, but they had already viewed this to be a joke topic. Thus, the other players swept through the mbers’ list for Extrely Heaven Defying and, sure enough, there was not even a single lady left in the guild.
Now that this matter was ntioned, Sword Demon had no choice but to admit he was quite helpless to this reality. Originally when Brother Assist and July had gone to recruit new mbers to either guild, even though there had been many more male players that joined up, there were at least still a handful of female players that joined as well. It was only that these ladies had ended up mixing in with July and the ladies of Athyst Rebirth, and not a single one remained when they all left. As such, Extrely Heaven Defying had beco an all-male guild, and this was too huge a contrast from what they had previously promoted.
Gu Fei was reading the chatter in the guild channel and took a look at the list. Indeed, there was not a single lady at all and was rather astounded. He sent a ssage out to Svelte Dancer, “You’ve gone back to Athyst Rebirth as well?” Gu Fei had thought that with Svelte Dancer’s temperant, she would have been more inclined to continue staying in Extrely Heaven Defying since it was a guild that suited her aggressive spirit, allowing her to flash her fangs and claw among them.
“But of course, though I am an honorary mber of Extrely Heaven Defying,” Svelte Dancer said.
“What is that, anyway?”
“You’re an honorary mber of Athyst Rebirth, so why can’t I be an honorary mber for Extrely Heaven Defying? In any case, make sure you keep inford if there’s anything fun happening over with you guys,” Svelte Dancer insisted.
Gu Fei chuckled bitterly. This lady always loved pitting herself against him.
“How about that person... Where’s Xi Xiaotian? Has she gone to join your guild as well?” Gu Fei asked once more.
“She’s not here. She left the guild after she retrieved her reward and went off to play on her own!” Svelte Dancer answered.
Gu Fei glanced over to his friends’ list. and saw that Xi Xiaotian was online. He wanted to ask her about it, but he had no idea what he should say, so he ultimately gave up on the idea. He then asked Slyris and her sister about their situation, and sure enough, the two ladies were a little reluctant to leave their old friends in Xiawu City, so they chose to first return ho and decide what to do at a later ti.
“That’s really regrettable,” Gu Fei said.
“Yeah,” Svelte Dancer sighed as well.
“It won’t be convenient for to borrow her rings next ti,” Gu Fei rued.
“You’re so heartless!” Svelte Dancer had thought that he missed his comrades-in-arms, only for this person to be concerned with just that lady’s pair of mana regeneration rings.
These people were making a racket as they made their way out of the city. Even though this was actually the evening in the real world, the midday sun was actually shining brightly in the ga. Saying that they were hosting a bonfire night party was a little comical since the night ti in the ga would only begin in two hours away, while the night cycle would only last for another two hours in real ti after.
And just because of this, none of them cared to be too particular. When they arrived at their destination, Sword Demon delegated the tasks like he was the commander of a PK fight, sending n to collect the firewood needed, others to kill the monsters and retrieve their at... Gu Fei looked around. What kind of bonfire night party is this? Couldn’t you just call it an outdoor barbecue?
Nobody dared to give directions to the great Gu Fei, so he gladly stayed idle, strolling about everywhere, wandering till he got to Southern Lone Blade and his squad. The seven of them looked like they often engaged in such activities, looking like they were very skilled with every step of the procedure. When they saw Gu Fei, all seven n went up to him and inquired about the reward Gu Fei had redeed.
“That’s a really good item!” Fire Singed Clothes comnted. “You would be able to be hired by others to slay people; bait the target to get so PK points on himself so you can confirm his coordinates when you search his IGN with that Bounty License of yours. You’ll be able to hunt this person down endlessly, dropping two levels with your first kill, four levels with the second kill... Haha, but really, that would be too g*dd*mn cruel. We should just pick up Bounty Missions, and send the rightful criminals to the prison and punish them by wasting their precious ti, don’t you think?” Fire Singed Clothes was really enraptured by what he was saying, but he nimbly changed his words halfway the mont he realized that Gu Fei was looking at him with a rather ominous expression.
Instead, it was Southern Lone Blade who heaved a deep sigh, “Actually, what I’m quite interested in figuring out is just how our guild will develop from here.”
