The girls were all waiting when I put on my clothes and walked to the living hall. They were all wearing serious expressions on their faces.
”What's wrong? Are you girls deciding what to have for supper?” I asked.
He Yi shook her head. ”Right now there's something more serious than that. The super cities will be unlocked tomorrow, but we still haven't decided which one to settle ourselves in.”
I pondered for a moment before asking, ”I would like to hear about your thoughts first.”
Murong Mingyue took a seat and turned her notebook around so I could read it. ”Here. China has three tier 1 cities, namely Sky City, Wind City and Vanished G.o.d City. All three cities are set at the center of Heavenblessed Continent in a triangular formation, and they are surrounded by powerful enemies from every direction. Choosing the right city is very important because it'll decide how we develop our guild in the future.”
He Yi nodded. ”Also, we need to post a thread at the guild channel of the forums after we make our choice. Otherwise, our guild members may travel to the wrong city.”
I stared at the screen for a moment and weighed the pros and cons. Finally, I said, ”Sky City is the closest city to Floating Ice City, and it's quite close to the newly established Violet Empire as well. In my opinion, we should settle in Sky City. That is the best place to grow our power.”
”Is that your final decision?” He Yi asked with a smile.
I said, ”Should we check with Xu Yang, Gui Guzi and the rest first?”
Murong Mingyue shook her head. ”No, it's fine. They already called me and said that they'll leave all the decision-making to Eve and you. All they want to be responsible for is the part where they attack and kill our enemies.”
”Okay then, Sky City it is!”
”Mn!”
He Yi plopped her b.u.t.t next to me and clicked the link to the guild channel. As expected, plenty of guild leaders were already making their announcements—
Candlelight Shadow: Candle Dragon will be marching into Wind City, and anyone who is brave and courageous is invited to join us! Candle Dragon will become the protector G.o.d of the northern gate to China!
Indigo Collar: Peach Garden will be marching into Wind City, and all Chinese heroes are invited to join us. We don't have any lofty goals, but we swear to defend the bond between brothers to the last! If one of us gets harmed, then all of us will respond!
Luo River G.o.d of the Capital. Purple Lily will be advancing into Wind City. Anyone who wants to kick Candle Dragon's a.s.s is welcomed to join our guild!
Roaming Dragon: Mad Dragon will be advancing into Sky City, and anyone who is ambitious is invited to join us! Our motto is: ”There is no strongest, only the stronger!”
……
”f.u.c.k!” I swore.
The entire forums were filled with advertising threads. What a spicy situation this was. I couldn't wait to find out the kind of battle that would be waged between all the players of China when the time comes.
”Luo River G.o.d of the Capital is seriously obsessed…” Murong Mingyue sighed. ”She must hate Candlelight Shadow to follow him to Wind City even though it isn't the best possible choice she could make. Also, I'm surprised that Peach Garden would choose to enter Wind City. Tsk tsk, it's going to be really lively over there…”
He Yi giggled. ”That's true, but not as much as Sky City is going to be. Look here, Miss Murong. Sky City is where all the truly powerful guilds are gathered. Nearly 20 out of the Top 50 guilds have chosen to move into Sky City besides us, and our old enemies such as Mad Dragon and Flower Room will be here as well. Now this is what we call real compet.i.tion.”
Beiming Xue stuck out her tongue and joked, ”Say, we're pretty famous now, aren't we? Do you think these guilds will gang up on us?”
He Yi nodded seriously. ”That is a possibility…”
The realization had struck me as well. There was the saying ”the shot hits the bird that pokes its head out”, and we were undoubtedly that bird right now. We couldn't even keep a low profile because we had a ton of famous players such as Gui Guzi, Murong Mingyue, Chaos Moon, Moonlight Stone, Xu Yang and He Yi in our guild, and that was without accounting for existing enemies such as Mad Dragon and Flower Room. Who knows if they would choose to kick us while we were down, or incite other guilds to attack us?
Murong Mingyue said calmly, ”I suppose it's wise to find a powerful and trustworthy ally sooner than later…”
Beiming Xue and He Yi immediately looked at me.
”Why are you all staring at me like that?”
Beiming Xue smiled. ”Big bro, you should contact Beauty Lin and check with her which tier 1 city Snowy Cathaya is moving to. If possible, well, you know…”
I gulped. ”f.u.c.k, why do I always get landed with this?”
”That's because you're closer to her than any of us!”
”f.u.c.k…”
……
Given no choice, I pulled out my phone and tried to call Lin Yixin, but the device rang before I had even punched in the first number. Speak of the devil!
”Hi, Beauty Yi! A good night to you!” I greeted her with a smile.
She replied, ”Well, I'm starving and waiting for my instant noodles to be ready. Anyway, I want to check with you about something.”
”Sure. What is it?”
”Which city is Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls going to move in? Candle Dragon, Purple Lily, and Peach Garden are all going to Wind City. Do you have a specific plan in mind?”
”Forget them. They can fight to the death for all I care!” I smiled again. ”What is your choice?”
”Sky City. And you?”
”That's where we're going too!”
Lin Yixin immediately broke into a smile. ”In that case, I guess there's nothing else to say. Sky City will be ours, won't it?”
”It will!”
