770 Chapter 770 - Merger and Repor (1/2)

”It seems that the rewards won't be given out immediately. By the looks of things, do we have to wait till all the other cities are done with their City Wars events as well? We could try and do a bit of inquiring regarding this problem; I believe that the system should be duty bound to give us an explanation toward this issue, right?” July had very quickly answered Brother Assist's uncertainty, apparently having already thought long and hard about it.

”You're right. I'll go and learn more regarding this,” Actually, Brother Assist had chatted enough with Gu Fei and was eagerly waiting for the chance to continue writing his post back in the real world, so inquiring after anything would just be something he would do in passing. Compared to bumping his thread on the message boards, merging the guilds was just a small matter in his eyes.

Brother Assist had immediately logged off, leaving Gu Fei to regard what July said, ”If we are combining the two guilds, what will happen to the guild's levels? Will they be added together?”

”Of course not. They would ultimately take that of the higher leveled guild,” July answered.

”And what if our total number of members end up going past our limit?” Gu Fei asked.

”We'll remove some players,” July said.

”Are you thinking of getting all the ladies to leave the guild and reform Amethyst Rebirth again?” Gu Fei had seen through her intentions.

July nodded.

”Oh, that's not a bad idea,” Gu Fei nodded. Their recruitment this time had touted their status as a female guild, and the people who came for such a reason would most likely be the sort that had ill objectives, which meant such people would ultimately be a nuisance to the ladies. Just like those men that hailed from Forever in Flowers, while all the tricks that they pulled on others looked rather interesting from a point of view, the fact remained that when the target of such teasing become themselves, there was simply no lady out there that would truly enjoy such an experience.

”Then what about you?” July asked.

”What about me?”

”Will you still be joining us?” July asked.

Gu Fei was surprised. It never crossed his mind that July would actually still ask this question. Of course he did not wish to carry on staying in an all-female guild, and this was a good chance for him to leave. He would save himself plenty of awkwardness if he did not say a word and remained in Extremely Heaven Defying, but how was he to know that July would actually ask him this so openly. At the end of the day, this lady was still someone who did things by the book.

”Haha, you ladies don't need me to fill up your open spots any longer, so why would you need me to make up the numbers?” Gu Fei answered this rather straightforwardly as well.

”I knew you were going to say something like that,” July pouted.

Gu Fei shrugged as the two became silent. War Without Wounds was so anxious standing by the sideline scratching his head, feeling like Gu Fei was an ultimate idiot. Being the only man in a purely female guild was completely debonair! To think this man would willingly give up on it by his own volition. What made him all the more infuriated was that for July to have asked this question so pointedly, it was a clear sign that she was hoping to keep Gu Fei around, yet he had missed this fact entirely. War Without Wounds could only bemoan that July did not ask him the same question, for he would not even hesitate for even the slightest second to give her the affirmative.

This miraculous fantasy of his ultimately did not happen, and after July departed, Gu Fei turned to look at War Without Wounds and gleefully said, ”So, do you still want to join my guild?”

”What is the point of even joining?” War Without Wounds bitterly stood up and walked over to Sword Demon instead.

During the 15 minute disconnection, Gu Fei had originally planned to rest for the day, but he ultimately got a little curious as to what sort of amazing reward lay in store for him after succeeding in triumphing over 200,000 players with only 200 men. But in the end, he did not see the reward anywhere and had even gotten pulled to the corner by Brother Assist to give the man an account of what he had done. Now that Brother Assist had logged out, and the topic July had raised was also settled, Gu Fei was ready to give his regards and log out now that there were no other matters that he needed to attend to when he suddenly saw two players walk into the Mage Academy. Their eyes searched the building and quickly landed on Gu Fei, as one of them shouted, ”MILES!”

Gu Fei faced the two newcomers, Dommu and Mudou, and sighed. Looks like I'm going to waste more time talking again.

Just as he had expected, Dommu and Mudou had of course come rushing over for an interview the moment the pair learned that there had been a miraculous win on the city defender's side here in Yunduan City. It was almost an hour since the City War event had ended, and Dommu and Mudou were both extremely anxious. Time was of the essence when talking about breaking news after all!

Thus, after exchanging simple pleasantries, the pairs almost instantly spilled out their stream of questions for Gu Fei.

”Why didn't the two of you come a bit earlier?” Gu Fei was dejected.

”We came as soon as we could,” Dommu and Mudou were very anxious when they heard this response. ”Has someone interviewed you already?”

”Oh, not an interview, but it's more or less the same thing.” Unfortunately, Gu Fei had no idea about Brother Assist's intention behind asking so many questions.

”What do you mean by that?” The two asked.

”Brother Assist has asked about this in detail as well,” Gu Fei explained.

”Ah!” The two of them were shocked. The two reporters were obviously aware of Brother Assist's habit of posting the top threads on the forums, and now that the man had gotten a hold of the information one step before them, they were afraid that he would post it up on the forums very soon. From there, some other websites would directly repost it on their own sites so by the time Dommu and Mudou were done with their interview piece, it would no longer be fresh.

There's no way we would be faster than Brother Assist, so why don't we get the editor to keep an eye on things, immediately reposting his post the moment it's out while we stay here to see if there's any other selling point we can write about,” Mudou and Dommu discussed.

”Guess that's all we can do,” Dommu was depressed, begging Gu Fei in the end, ”Miles, you gotta give us some exclusive details!”

Gu Fei did not know if he should be laughing or crying, ”How could there be any exclusive detail when it was just me doing random tasks?”

”Fine, Then first answer some of our questions here,” Mudou had no choice but to begin his interview like normal.

As Gu Fei accepted to be interviewed, Sword Demon had finished greeting all the various guild leaders that wanted to establish friendly relations and was about to leave them, when another player approached him. After July finished telling Gu Fei what she planned to do, she had left to discuss the same matter with Sword Demon. The man was very honest and forthcoming, and he had even taken into account the issue regarding the reward for July and the others.

”Don't worry about that. We barely did anything after all,” July mentioned.

Sword Demon shook his head. While the ladies had limited contributions during the fighting, they had actually done quite a lot of running about and questing inside the city as everything happened. Without Amethyst Rebirth's help, there was no telling how long it would have taken for Extremely Heaven Defying to rally the numbers they needed; without Amethyst Rebirth, they would not have had anywhere to hold their newly recruited troops. When it came to battles, while the ladies were nowhere comparable to the elite players, they were at least able to match those players whom they had gathered at the last minute, and they were not so terrible to the point that they could be ignored. The ladies from Amethyst Rebirth were at least far more qualified for the reward than all the random players that they had recruited purely to bolster their numbers, especially if they intended to quit the guild after merging the two together. That would essentially mean that they would end up completely rescinding whatever benefit that they have gotten for their participation upon merging the two guilds, which was actually the reward that all the various guilds had been pursuing this City War: the Division of Power.

”Isn't Amethyst Rebirth close to leveling up?” Sword Demon suddenly asked.

July nodded, ”We're close.”

”Then why don't we use this time to hurry up and power level? We can discuss this matter in greater detail once your guild reaches level 3 and you collect your reward,” Sword Demon said.

”Oh, that works too,” Nobody would say no to rewards, and given how July was originally the guild leader for Amethyst Rebirth, she had a better understanding of just how far her guild was from leveling, and she was positive that they would very quickly clear the threshold necessary if they worked hard on it.

Thus, July and Sword Demon both went over to look for Gu Fei as this was the time for the guild leader to speak out. Gu Fei was being interviewed, and the two reporters doing the interview were of course very unhappy that July and Sword Demon were interrupting. However, Mudou and Dommu could not openly show their displeasure, so they could only patiently wait by the side.

”Power level the guild to level 3? Ohhh, that's right. There are still rewards,” Gu Fei had completely forgotten about the matter and had thought July and the ladies were planning to leave the guild now.

Gu Fei pulled out the guild channel. Actually, messages had been flashing all this while, but Gu Fei had spent quite some time with Amethyst Rebirth by now and he had already honed his ability to ignore the guild channel's flashing indicator as messages came in.

Opening the tab, he saw message after message being sent even faster than when there were only ladies gossiping before. Gu Fei casually skimmed through the lines and felt much contempt. Now that the City War event had ended, all the provisional players that they had recruited began to befriend each other, with a strong emphasis on getting in touch with the ladies in the guild. All the ladies that wanted to chat in the channel were being figuratively mobbed by these men at the moment.
