Chapter 198 - Map

I finished watching ”Goblin” the K-Drama. It's so sad! In addition, there are two upcoming characters that I really get tired of naming since I don't know if they will die all of a sudden or stay. That's why I opened up to naming them for patreons -> TTW Patreon Obviously it will be closely similar to the pin yin and not outrageous.

When Xue Jian was leading his group of guild members, he had no choice but to rely on Mr. Sheng. Later, he’d decided to leave Mr. Sheng’s care and follow Liu Gan toward the countryside. Xue Jian explained it in a way to show that he and Mr. Sheng had conflicting viewpoints, but the real reason why Xue Jian wanted to leave was that he’d felt that Mr. Sheng didn’t have enough trust in him.

Xue Jian, in reality, was similar to Liu Gan, they were both second-generations from a wealthy family. They loved playing online games, so they spent most of their free time on the internet. Xue Jian was heavily invested into the online game, the typical pay-to-win player.

With his wealth and straightforward personality, he bought a lot of equipment and gave it out to guildmates. As long as the players were familiar with him, Xue Jian would buy equipment for them when asked. So among the ingame players, he had a very high popularity. There were many players alongside him when he played the game, but a majority of them were his real life friends. They all had one thing in common; it was due to his generosity and straightforward personality.

When Liu Gan was playing [Dominion] and decided to join Xue Jian’s guild, it was because Liu Gan appreciated the guild name [Lonely Wild Crane], and he'd never would’ve thought that he would stay for so long; it was a good few years.

On the day [The Trembling World] released its server to the public, Xue Jian was also with a group of real life friends logging onto the game. They were logging on at a luxurious internet cafe, so they were all simultaneously grouped together in the same district. Totally, they numbered up to 20 people. Due to prior habit, Xue Jian automatically became the leader.

Xue Jian was leading his group of friends when they’d attracted the interest of Mr. Sheng. Through a series of underhanded methods of dividing Xue Jian’s followers, the original 20 players were divided in half. Up until the point when Mr. Sheng had died, Xue Jian had only ten remaining loyal followers.

With such strong players by Liu Gan’s side, Xue Jian knew that it was safest sticking with Liu Gan. Liu Gan had no plans of dividing Xue Jian’s group like Mr. Sheng, so Xue Jian was grateful. With so many strong players under Liu Gan’s guidance already, there was no need to prey on the loyal followers of Xue Jian; Liu Gan didn’t care for whether these players would remain with him, so the possibility of dividing the followers was non-existent.

As for the benefits of staying, Xue Jian and Liu Gan had years of friendship in [Dominion] so he knew that Liu Gan would definitely treat him nicely.

“So now that we are one big family, there is no need to compare with each other! We all work for Elder Liu!” Zhang ShengLi patted Xue Jian on the shoulders.

“Yes! We shall work for Elder Liu!” Xue Jian rejoiced as he had a new role in the group.

After subordinating Mr. Sheng’s people and rearranging the personnel, it was time to move back onto the yacht. Liu Gan was confident now that with this many people, he could take over the Serenity aircraft or any large airships docked at Green Pao Bay. There was also a lurking concern of securing enough food ration and water for everyone.

Based on Liu Gan’s personality, he was the type that liked to be independent. So to reach this problem of having so many players was unexpected. However, he wouldn’t abandon them; he would carry out the duties of a leader and establish a safe base for them.
