Chapter 479 - Backer (2/2)

“Lets go greet Nirvana Flame. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get something good from him.” Mo Tao’s eyes sparkled. “Mo Yan, this is your time to shine.”

“I can try… But will he even notice me? I bet he’s met all kinds of beauties,” Mo Yan said.

“You don’t know for sure. Give it a try.”

After learning Zhai Hao and Li Rui were having trouble doing something as simple as gathering a team to run Dark Marsh, Nie Yan’s heart ached. He really was too busy with other things to join them. He didn’t expect his old friends to suffer such grievances.

“If you ever need my help, don’t hesitate to ask at all. I’ll send a message to my executive lead. His ID is Watchful Snail. If you need something, contact him. You guys are already Level 62. Head to one of our guild offices. If you pass the test, you can join Asskickers United. I’ll find a few people to help carry you guys through Dark Marsh.”

Nie Yan popped into the Asskickers United guild chat.「I need 5 Mages to carry my friends through a dungeon. Must be Level 60–65. If you’re interested, let me know!」

「Sure!」

「I’m down!」

…

The guild chat was instantly flooded with several hundred replies. With Nie Yan’s prestige, this was only to be expected. Many of the Mages were eager to volunteer, and since this was the guild leader’s personal request, who would dare not give it their all? Nie Yan had Guo Huai select five suitable and skilled Mages.

Roughly 30 minutes later, five Mages rushed over and reported to Nie Yan. They were all wearing Dark Gold-grade equipment. Their expressions were filled with excitement.

“Boss!”

“Boss. we're here! These guys, right?”

...

The gear of the Mo trio was fairly good for the average player at their level, with most of their equipment being Gold-grade. However, the equipment they so loved to show off seemed like garbage now, downright shameful even. Those Asskickers United players couldn’t be bothered to spare them so much as a glance.

Of the five that arrived, Nie Yan recognized a couple by name.

“Sesame Cake, these guys are my friends. You should introduce yourselves and get to know each other. Carry them through Dark Marsh and help them improve the quality of their gear. Afterwards, you can bring them to Dream Ravine,” Nie Yan said. With these five here, carrying Zhai Hao, Li Rui, and the others through Dark Marsh would be a piece of cake.

Asskickers United’s treasury was full of equipment that Zhai Hao, Li Rui, and the others could use. However, Nie Yan knew they weren’t the sort of people who would accept handouts.

“You put your trust in us, Boss! Your friends are our friends! I can guarantee we’ll make it through 30 runs before the day ends! They won’t miss out on any equipment!” Sesame Cake declared.

Zhai Hao, Mo Tao, and the others were stunned. 30 runs before the day ended? This was too frightening! It usually took them around three to four hours per run, and many times they would end up wiping. Yet Sesame Cake was talking like it was a stroll in the park. Thinking about it, Sesame Cake and the other four were all Level 65 with Dark Gold-grade equipment. Even if Zhai Hao and the others did nothing, they could probably still clear Dark Marsh with ease.

Nie Yan was treating Zhai Hao and Li Rui so well. He didn’t have any air of arrogance around him. Seeing this, the others drummed up the courage to chat with him.

Mo Tao and Mo An tried hard to cozy up to Nie Yan. However, he simply brushed them off from beginning to end. Even though he had suffered no small amount of abuse from those two in his past life, he already long since put that behind him. In this life, they were nobodies, not even fit to breathe the same air as him. He had no need to pay them any heed.

Sesame Cake and the other four naturally took notice of Nie Yan giving Mo Tan and Mo An the cold shoulder. Since the guild leader didn’t seem to care for these two, simply dying during the run would be the least of their worries.

As the old proverb goes, “Yama might be easy to provoke, but his demon underlings are much less forgiving.”

After briefly intermingling with each other, Sesame Cake and the other four were chatting with Zhai Hao and the rest like they were old pals. Li Rui finally felt vindicated. He held his head up high with a proud smile on his face; the previous sullenness was nowhere to be seen. From now on, they would no longer have to suffer the humiliation of Mo Tao, Mo An, and Mo Yan.
