Chapter 36: Broken Halberd (2/2)

The morning sun hung high in the sky, shining brightly. Two hot-blooded youths who had not slept a second at night sprinted through the streets energetically. This craze went on until afternoon, when they finally stopped.

Thirteen couldn’t help but doubt where I had gotten such a huge sum as 12000 RMB from. ”Brother, did you go sell yourself last night?”

”That is impossible. I am a very chaste person, I could never conduct such business. But I would believe if you did that. I doubt you’d get many clients though,” I casually answered.

Du Thirteen almost spat blood.

We had decided on the location of our workshop, a small building in the new district near the China Resources Vanguard supermarket. It had been built in 2022, and was relatively new. It had four bedrooms like we wanted, and had all necessities. With a rent of 2950 yuan, it was on the cheaper side even. With the current state of the market, it was very hard to find a place like that.

”What should we do next?” Thirteen asked.

”Recruit our first workshop member!”

”Who?” Thirteen's eyes lit up. ”Wind Fantasy... Lin Yixin is not bad. How about recruiting her?”

I laughed, and patted his shoulder. ”Don’t waste your efforts bro. You won’t be able to get a girl like Lin Yixin. She definitely will look down on us and turn the offer down.”

”Really?” Thirteen was slightly dismayed and asked, ”Then who could we recruit to our workshop? We definitely can’t recruit newbies...”

I nodded and agreed, ”Yes, we don’t need more than one newbie!”

”Damn!” Thirteen was so angry he grabbed me, so I pushed him away. With a pitiful tone, he asked, “Then who?”

”Gui Guzi!”

”?!”

Thirteen had a stunned expression. ”Gui Guzi is a renowned person on the Heavenly Ranking. Are we really able to pull him into our workshop?”

”Yes.” I nodded. ”Don't worry, I have confidence. Let's move our stuff to the workshop in the afternoon, sleep, and then plan our next step at night.”

”Good!”

After being busy the entire afternoon, I slowly woke up at three at night after eating dinner and sleeping. I went toward the room on the sunny side and woke up Thirteen. We then ate something and went online!

……

Swoosh!

I appeared in the grave in Frost Mound, pushing aside the rotten dirt to climb out. I opened my friend list. Gui Guzi was online!

I immediately sent a message: ”If you are not busy, come to Frost Mound!”

”What is it?”

”Something good.”

”Alright, I will come soon.”

Gui Guzi was a rare expert. While his recent results had been loss and death on every encounter, the opponents he was fighting were me and Lin Yixin. Lin Yixin’s equipment and mechanics were top-class, she had strength to challenge even the Martial God, Candlelight Shadow. After my delay was lowered to half a second, I soared in strength to the point where I could look down on players at Gui Guzi’s level.

Gui Guzi was a first-class expert, while people like me, Lin Yixin, and Candlelight Shadow were above even that. Gui Guzi had a hard time fighting me and Lin Yixin, but he could fight many of Du Thirteen's level.

Soon, an undead knight came out of the woods in a black cloak. It was Gui Guzi!

”Broken Halberd, what is it?” Gui Guzi asked.

I said, ”Little Gui, have you thought what guild you will join in the future?”

Gui Guzi was furious. ”Damn! I hate people who call me Little Gui the most...”

I also became angry. ”Damn! I also hate people calling me Broken Halberd...”

Broken Halberd sounded like my ** was broken. This name was to be censored.

Gui Guzi said, ”Why are you asking this?”

I said with a smile, ”I’ve created a workshop and wanted to invite you to join. If you do not mind, then come. The workshop is in the new district of Suzhou. It has a bedroom, living room and board.”

”Oh?”

Gui Guzi's eyes lit up but he showed a hint of displeasure. ”Why should I join your workshop?”

I spread my hands and said with a smile, ”Simple, do you want to become a top expert?”

”Yes!” Gui Guzi had a burning gaze.

”Then if you join my workshop, I can 'teach' you daily...”

”Good!” Gui Guzi clenched his fists and said, ”One day, I will surpass you and step over you!”

”Damn, just think it, don’t say it moron!”

The first expert recruited for the workshop was a superman whose goal was to defeat me. I don’t even know if it’s good or bad...

I sighed emotionally and told Gui Guzi how to get to Suzhou. Gui Guzi was from Wuxi, and he could pack up and arrive at Suzhou next afternoon on the express train.

Very good, our workshop is growing stronger!
