24 Chapter 24 - Amethyst Rebirth (2/2)

All the ladies looked at one another and could not help but complain about Xi Xiaotian's actions. But all they did was grumble and did not actually show real hatred toward her, so Gu Fei was puzzled. The ladies gathered and whispered a distance away from Gu Fei. Seeing that it was no longer his problem and that it was rather late, he quickly made his way to the safe zone to log off.

The ladies discussed for a while and finally came to a decision.

”Hey, that… Eh? Where is he?” July turned and was ready to speak to Gu Fei, only to find that he had already disappeared without saying goodbye.

”Where did he go?” July pulled open her friends list and it showed Thousand Miles Drunk was offline.

”What's with that guy?! Who leaves before finishing a conversation?!” July angrily stamped her feet once more and the rest began their tirade against Gu Fei this time.

”Achooo!” Gu Fei, who had gone offline and rushed to the rooftop to practice his kung fu, suddenly sneezed. Just who is mocking me behind my back? Gu Fei wondered as he thought of the old wives' tale about sneezing.

When he logged in the next day, Gu Fei's message notification immediately lit up. He opened his inbox and saw that it was from July, ”WRU WRU WRU WRU WRU WRU WRU!” A series of seven 'WRU' showed how much regard she had for the number seven.

”What do you want?” Gu Fei replied.

”What's wrong with you? You left without waiting for us to finish our conversation!” July lamented.

”Was there anything else?” Gu Fei asked.

”Come here and we'll talk,” July replied.

”Where?”

”Unit B17 on Charlotte Street!”

Yunduan City might not be as big as a metropolis, but navigating around it was still hard. This was because the city was unlike the ones in traditional MMORPGs where players could walk from the east gate to the west gate in just two or three steps. The towns were already big enough that it required name for streets to differentiate between roads. There were many for-sale houses lining up the streets as well, whereas the area the system occupied was actually just a small corner.

Unit B17 on Charlotte Street. Wonder who opened another shop, Gu Fei thought to himself as he headed to the street.

In online games, a player's level decided how the economic market flourished. As more and more players got to transom of level 30, a hodge-podge of industrial occupations, such as smelting, weaving, mining, planting, etc., began popping up in-game. While a majority of players chose to carry big sacks and sold their wares right off the streets, a sizable portion of the pay-to-win players went ahead and bought houses along the streets to convert them into shops. Thus, other than the need for street names, the numbers for different housing units came to be as well.

B17... B17... Gu Fei repeatedly muttered the unit number as he walked down the street looking for it.

When he finally spotted it, he could not help but do a double-take. The shop was unlike the others that had readable signs at a glance. This shop hung a strange picture of a diamond-shape object painted a faint purple luster where other shops would usually hung their signage. Gu Fei could not tell what it was and did not wish to risk going directly inside, so he went and knocked on the door lightly a few times instead.

The door quickly opened to reveal July as well as a few other ladies within. Gu Fei had met some of them yesterday, while the others were strangers to him.

He followed July into the house and found a seat. All the other ladies took the chance to size up Gu Fei. The expression each of them showed varied. Many showed a look of resistance, while quite a few looked as if they could not be bothered. Embarrassingly enough, none of the ladies showed any signs of welcoming him. Even July, who was seated right across from him, seemed irritated at his presence.

”What is it you wish to talk about?” Gu Fei straightforwardly asked July. Gu Fei wanted to quickly put this matter behind him and leave, especially since he knew he was not welcomed here.

July opened her mouth but could not find the words as her face showed plenty of hesitation.

”Just be honest,” Gu Fei smiled.

”En. I thank you for helping us nominate the guild,” July started.

This was a very neutral opening, yet Gu Fei knew that this was not the main topic. He nodded his head slightly and waited for July to continue.

”You can tell the criteria we have toward our members when you look at our guild composition, right?”

Gu Fei immediately knew what she wanted to say and he was sincerely happy as he quickly interrupted her, ”Don't worry. I know what you mean. Ha ha ha ha! Alright. I'll just remove myself from the guild and we can resolve this matter!”

Gu Fei quickly pulled up the guild tab and was about to remove himself from the guild. July's expression changed as she shouted at him, ”DON'T!”
