Ding~!
System Notice: Player ”Wind Fantasy” has successfully established China's first guild ”Snowy Cathaya.” Rewards obtained: Level +3, Strength +10, Luck +1, and reward item ”Snow Shadow Sword” (Level 50 Silver-grade)!
The melodic sound of a bell echoed in the skies above Floating Ice City and lasted for a long time. I raised my head to look in the direction of the city. Floating Ice City's first player-made guild had finally been created.
As the player who established the first guild, Lin Yixin's rewards were plentiful. Three levels, permanent increase of 10 Strength, 1 Luck and a Level 50 Silver-grade sword. As I had expected, the value of Hero's Token was way beyond a Silver-grade s.h.i.+eld.
Beep!
Du Thirteen sent me a message: ”Too bad, if we had taken the Hero's Token and established b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries, the Snow Shadow Sword would've been yours, Lu Chen!”
I couldn't help but smile at that thought. Forget it, a Gold-grade Ghost Ice Soul still lies in our warehouse. I don't need that Snow Shadow Sword. I replied, ”Don't worry about it, Thirteen. We're only three people. If it weren't for Lin Yixin's hundred-man party, we wouldn't even have gotten the Hero's Token. Besides, we've already agreed in advance to give it to them. We have to keep our promises. Without trust, we won't survive, you know. Besides, it isn't like Hero's Token is some G.o.dly item. We can just get another. Once we do, it won't be too late to make a guild anyway.”
”Mn, got it. What are you going to do now?”
”Leveling, rus.h.i.+ng to 50!”
”Okay, I'll go level too with Little Gui.”
”Sure. Don't bother with earning money in the next few days. Focus on leveling first!”
”Okay!”
I closed the chat window and then swept my sword to kill a Level 52 Violet Undead Knight. A pillar of golden light fell onto my head. Level 49. I was only 3% away from it after killing the boss earlier, so that didn't take long. If I continue working hard, I will get Level 50 by tomorrow morning!
I opened Floating Ice City's Heavenly Ranking and discovered that the level discrepancy had widened—

Lin Yixin had a dominant lead at Level 53 thanks to the reward from the Hero's Token while I jumped to 2nd place after killing the Level 70 boss. Dominating Heaven Blade tightly held onto 3rd place while Gui Guzi and Clear Perfume who were in the same party as us also soared through the rankings, both at Level 46. Three heroes of the Domination Clan took up the following three places while Purple Marquis had risen and claimed 10th place.
I heaved a sigh of relief, then thought about Purple Marquis. That person's mechanics and equipment were pretty good. He had definitely gone somewhere to grind to reach Level 45. This guy was also a talent though it was too bad that I couldn't use him. He seemed to have a close relations.h.i.+p with the Shadow Clan which I had already fallen out with.
The official forum was loaded with discussion threads. I browsed as I killed the mobs nearby. There was a long golden t.i.tle at the top of the homepage—Floating Ice City's G.o.ddess Wind Fantasy Establishes China's First Guild—Snowy Cathaya!
The thread read: Floating Ice City Heavenly Ranking's 1st place, female expert Wind Fantasy, teamed together with the 2nd place expert, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, and challenged the mighty Mad Dragon guild. Both sides warred in the Violet Forest with Wind Fantasy and Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand ending up to be the victor. Mad Dragon was defeated and had even lost Heavenblessed's first Hero's Token, thus losing the qualifications to become overlord of Floating Ice City!
That made me smile. Seems like I took some of Lin Yixin's light, huh. I might become famous in the China server. One thing was certain though—Fruit Knife G.o.ddess Lin Yixin was at the peak of her fame, her popularity slowly dimming Martial G.o.d Candlelight Shadow's light!
I opened the thread and read through the responses—
1st comment (Lakeside Falling Leaf): Wind Fantasy's so awesome. She'd actually s.n.a.t.c.hed the first Hero's Token from Mad Dragon's rubbish group.
2nd comment (Love To Sing And Dance): I heard that it was Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand who got the Hero's Token. Wuuwuu, Brother Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, do you still remember the girl from the starting village?
3rd comment (Spicy Sprite): Sure he does, pretty good skills for that low a price.
4th comment (Hidden Night): Aaah, Beauty Fantasy, go out with me! PS: 5th commenter's my son!
5th comment (Heavenblessed Administrator's Police Dog): Woof woof woof...
A quick glance noted that there were over ten thousand responses not even twenty minutes since Lin Yixin had established Snowy Cathaya. 50% or more of these comments were asking Lin Yixin out, and 49.9% were people mocking one another. The remaining tenth of a percent were comments acknowledging my strength… four fifths of that from girls who wanted to date me.
I stroked my terrifying skeletal face, somewhat speechless. I wondered if they would want to date me after seeing my disgusting face.
But there was one good thing about Heavenblessed. The moment a player locked in their ident.i.ty helmet, it would automatically distinguish their gender so there absolutely wouldn't be a tragedy like finding out the girl you had an online relations.h.i.+p with turning out to be a man many years later.
I collected myself and continued my grind!
One man, one sword, and one wasp strolled into the depths of Violet Forest. Since my level had risen, I now dared to challenge monsters around Level 55. Ghost Deity Armor was Rank 4 and increased my Defense by 14%. If I added the HP regen from Regeneration of the Undead, staying alive was no longer an issue.
