Chapter 164 (2/2)

I gave him a smile as I leaned against the window . “Xu Yang, you must’ve suffered a lot while they were here, didn’t you?”

Xu Yang nodded . “Yeah… screw them!”

I held up a tea cup and added, “Do you know why they attacked you and only you before we came? Do you know why they didn’t attack Mingyue, for example?”

“Wait, really? I thought…” Xu Yang looked a bit confused .

Murong Mingyue chuckled . “It’s quite simple, really . Before today, you were the only man in the senior management of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls . That’s why Spring Mud tried everything he could to drive you away…”

“But why? Wait, is it because he sees me as a threat?”

“Heh . Of course not, not in the sense you think anyway…” Murong Mingyue glanced at me intently before saying, “Did you know that Spring Mud placed a bouquet of roses on Eve’s office table a couple of days ago? Surely you understand why he did it . ”

I frowned unconsciously . “Spring Mud is interested in boss?”

“Yep!” Murong Mingyue giggled . “Xu Yang is a guy, and he’s very close to Eve . If Spring Mud wants to isolate Eve and win her heart, the first thing he must do is drive Xu Yang out of the picture . Unfortunately Xu Yang is an idiot, and he fell for even the smallest attempt at provocation . Not even Eve can do much about this . ”

“Oh, I see…” I said, but I wasn’t sure what to say about this .

Again, Murong Mingyue shot me a meaningful glance before smiling . “Say, do you think Spring Mud would target you now that you’ve returned in style as ‘Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand’, leader of the fearsome b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries?”

Xu Yang looked shocked . “Mingyue, are you implying that Spring Mud and those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would attack Lu Chen and b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries now?”

She laughed . “Who knows? When jealousy strikes, nothing is impossible!”

I spent a few seconds with my thoughts before asking, “Sis, how many third-promotion players do we have right now?”

“Hmm, about fifty or so? What’s wrong? What are you planning?”

“Make a table of their data—contact number, address, cla.s.s, level etc—and send it to us . Each one of us should then take 9 members each on a leveling trip tonight . Besides that, we should add them to our friend list and really socialize with them . Do you understand? If we can’t hold onto 9 members each at the minimum, I’m worried that we’ll lose them in the future!”

Murong Mingyue’s mouth fell open . “Lu Chen, are you thinking that…”

I nodded and confirmed her suspicions . “That’s right . I’m worried that the Ego workshop might try to instigate our players to leave us . If they succeed, all your efforts will be for naught!”

Murong Mingyue bit her lips and nodded strongly . “You’re right! It’s about time we plan ahead and avoid the worst . But what if Xu Yang and I can’t convince them to listen?”

I smiled . “Don’t worry, Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi and I will be taking on 10 members ourselves . b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries are the champion of the “Who Will Fight Me” tournament . I’m sure we’ll be able to win their hearts over and hold onto 30 elite players at the minimum . Idol wors.h.i.+p is incredibly common in games after all!”

Murong Mingyue smiled sweetly at me . “It feels so good to have you here~~”

I smiled back . “And I will never leave again . ”

Xu Yang glanced back and forth between the two of us before asking, “Are you two confessing to each other?”

“Don’t you have something to do?” Murong Mingyue and I said in unison .

Xu Yang: “f.u.c.k, fine, I’ll go make some instant noodles, geez…”

… . . .

After dinner, I set up my game equipment and went online!

Swhoos.h.!.+

I appeared inside an inn and brought up the guild page . Most of our players had already learned about the merger, and everyone looked pretty excited .

“Leader, I heard that Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue and you are already leaving for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls . Is that true?”

“I heard that the leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is an incredible beauty . Please tell me that’s true!”

“Leader, please come visit us whenever you can!”

It was a situation that needed to be dealt with swiftly and decisively, or it might cause a lot of problems down the line .

So, I cleared my throat and said, “Brothers and sisters, we aren’t departing to Ningguta to work as slave miners, so you don’t have to worry about us . We’re joining them to hold up the banner and provide them with our support, that’s all . The three of us will always be members of b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries, and again, there’s nothing to worry about . While we’re gone, please work together with the new leader, Amazing Expert, and grind that guild EXP . Let’s increase our Guild Rank to 5 as soon as possible so we can finally recruit ten thousand people and take a piece of the world for ourselves!”

My speech got a hearty laugh out of everyone . After that, I appointed Du Thirteen as the guild leader of b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries and left the management of the guild to him and Mamate completely . This was a test of Du Thirteen’s mettle . A man who relied on flowery words and a handsome face to worm his way through life forever would never be respected .

Beep!

I received a message from my beautiful leader, From Water . He Yi had gone online as well . “Lu Chen, please lead Beiming Xue and Gui Guzi to the eastern square so I can add them, thank you~~”

“Got it!”

I sent a message to Beiming Xue and Gui Guzi before running to the eastern gate’s plaza myself . Soon, the strongest trio of b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries appeared together and drew the gazes of countless admirers . “Holy s.h.i.+t, do you see that? That’s the team that won the ‘Who Will Fight Me’ tournament, the ‘Invincible Black Army’! The Undead Swordsman Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, the Undead Knight Gui Guzi, and the Dark Archer Beiming Xue! d.a.m.n, they’re all so amazing!”

Not long after we arrived at the square, a beautiful female magic knight appeared next to a medicine shop . It was He Yi!
