Chapter 678 – Greedy Wolf Brigade (1/2)
Chapter 678 - Greedy Wolf Brigade
“[Thousand Burial] wants to be a top tier guild?”
I could not help but laugh aloud at the thought. “Is this some kind of a joke? Are they going to rely on the skills of Not Ordinary and You Yi to push the level of their guild to the top tier? Isn’t that just a load of bull?”
Dong Cheng responded, “It’s hard to say though. Money can make even the Devil dance.”
I shook my head in disagreement. “I still don’t think they will make it.”
Wan Er looked at me and laughed. “Do you think that everyone is like you? You, who owns the shop called “National Beauty” and Dragon City, two easy sources of money? On the other hand, I think if [Thousand Burial] were to invest 50 million RMB into their guild, they could achieve a lot. After all, amongst the top 1000 members in the CBN Battlemaster Ranking Chart, a lot of them are lacking money. To them, an annual salary of 100,000 RMB might not be so appealing but what about twice or thrice that amount? What if it became 10 times that amount? Who among them would not be moved by such wealth? As long as he manages to hire enough top players, [Thousand Burial]’s fighting strength could turn out to be rather impressive.”
Dong Cheng Yue nodded as she chuckled. “Yep. What’s even more annoying is…… last night, Not Ordinary, You Yi, White Ink and members of the main force of [Thousand Burial] cleared a map called “Devouring Garden” just north-west of Tian Ling City. They also received a special tool called [Greedy Wolf Talisman]!”
[Greedy Wolf Talisman]?” Tang Qi and I surprisingly asked in sync, “What does it do?”
Dong Cheng explained, “[Greedy Wolf Talisman] is an unlimited usage special tool item that, with the City Lord’s permission, allows a player to register as a “Greedy Wolf Raider”. There will be a 1000 gold fee but not only will that player gain the [Greedy Wolf Raider] title, they will also enjoy a permanent 3% drop rate boost for killing monsters, 10% for killing players, extra 20% movement speed as well as the right to directly take 10% of the money that the players they killed are carrying. In short, the [Greedy Wolf Brigade] is the personification of a pack of ravenous wolves. Gluttonous but powerful in large numbers. The only con is that they too, will suffer an extra 10% drop rate when killed. So when someone runs into a Greedy Wolf Raider, one side must die…….”
Wan Er and I were both startled. Last night, Wan Er had slept next to me and so she didn’t pay much attention to the game. Clearly it was her first time hearing about this [Greedy Wolf Talisman]
I asked, “Who has the Greedy Wolf Talisman?”
“Naturally, it’s in Not Ordinary’s hands….”
Dong Cheng smiled, “I’ve heard that since last night, [Thousand Burial] has already converted 1200+ people into Greedy Wolf Raiders. The effect is an addon that lasts forever. It really is good stuff….”
Tang Qi added, “If only we could just get him to drop that Greedy Wolf Talisman!”
Dong Cheng glanced at him, her smile filled with contempt, “Did you think that Not Ordinary would be that stupid? Once he needs to leave the city, he’ll definitely put the talisman inside his personal storage. He won’t use it unless he is in the city where it’s safe. As long as he’s cautious, nobody would be able to get that talisman.”
Wan Er’s eyes were gleeful as she said, “I think I know what Not Ordinary wants…”
Tang Qi asked, “What?”
Wan Er said, “He wants to use that 20% attack speed and movement speed increase and create a regiment of 100-1000 players that can hunt down any stray players from rival guilds; just like a pack of wolves. Even a savage tiger would be worn down if they keep rotating out people against it. Just like that, they can easily obtain gold and equipments. Once they’ve slowly built up their strength, [Thousand Burial] will legitly turn into a guild of wolves.”
I nodded in agreement, “That’s the basic idea. Send out warnings for people to not go leveling on their own, in case they get targeted by the Greedy Wolf Brigade.”
“En.” Wan Er looked at me, “It’s about time you log on and supervise the situation. You are, after all, the real guildmaster of [Zhan Long].”
“Ok, got it. I’ll get online in a moment!”

After breakfast, I logged on.
Once I logged on, I first looked at the forums for Tian Ling City. As expected, there was a hot post pinned to the top. It was [Thousand Burial]’s recruitment post——
[Talent Recruit (Owner: Not Ordinary]: [Thousand Burial Guild], We are allocating 50 Million RMB to recruitment, Recruiting all experts within the top ten thousand on the CBN Battlenet Rankings!

I can already affirm that this post was not written by Not Ordinary. Those weren’t words that he could make up. As an underground boss, he reeks of vile thoughts. There was no way he could write such elegant words. He had most likely hired someone to write it for him. But that was of no consequence. That wouldn’t affect how [Thousand Burial] recruited people. As long as they brought money out, then there was no way that they couldn’t recruit people.
After that was a chain of replies. There were some that hated it, and there were some that praised it. But as long as there was money, it meant that there was good faith, and that wasn’t a wrong sentence——
[First Reply] Player Who will Dance For Me: Hmph hmph, 50 Million… Who know how much annual salary someone like me who is ranked a hundred thousand in the CBN Battlenet. Or maybe monthly?
[Second Reply] Player Empty City Silence: Please forgive me but I can’t help but laugh. A third rate like [Thousand Burial] wants to become boss of Tian Ling City? Dream on!
