Chapter 156: Recruiting (2/2)
After I sent the post, I looked it over. This post was relatively ordinary but in order to accentuate our domineering presence I used the three strongest guilds of Floating Ice City as imaginary enemies. Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon were already enemies, and so it was fine. But I also added Snowy Cathaya. At least it showed we didn’t fear them either. As for the future beating I would get from Lin Yixin, I was fine with it, as long as she spared my face...
I went offline to nourish my body. I’ve been fighting the whole day in Who Will Fight Me, constantly at high intensity. I was almost completely spent!
When I went offline, my phone rang. It was Murong Mingyue's number!
”Sister Mingyue!”
”Lu Chen, you became the champion!” Murong Mingyue's tone contained undisguised happiness and pride. In reality, Bloody Mercenaries becoming the victors were the same as Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls winning, just that no one knew about it.
”Haha, of course. We have the strongest long-range attacker and the strongest meatshield. It would be strange if we didn’t win,” I said proudly.
Murong Mingyue laughed and suddenly said, ”In reality, you’d be enough.”
”Ugh...” After a moment of silence I added, “You’re overpraising me, Sister Mingyue...”
Murong Mingyue giggled. ”You little brat, you dare speak such nonsense. Right, Eve told me to apologize to you. That... Spring Mud, Moon Shadow, and Night Sorrow had gone overboard...”
”Is boss alright?”
”Yes, she should have gone to Mumbai Airport now and will return tomorrow.”
”Oh! Right, the Bloody Mercenaries guild has been created. I’ll do my best to recruit a group of strong experts to bolster my strength. This way, Bloody Mercenaries and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls can help each other. Sister Mingyue, what do you think?”
”It's good,” Murong Mingyue said with a smile, ”but I don’t care about all that. I only care about one thing: when are you coming to see me and Eve?”
I thought for a moment. ”Let's wait. I don’t think it’s appropriate now. The three heads of the Ego workshop, Spring Mud, Night Sorrow, and Moon Shadow bear too much hostility toward me. I’m afraid that we’ll cause internal conflict in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls if the Bloody Mercenaries return.”
”Yes, I thought of this as well...” Murong Mingyue was slightly apologetic and said with a smile. ”Eve went in person to recruit these three. It appears that she has to be the one to resolve this. In reality, these three are extremely proud, and may not even listen to me. Everything depends on Eve!”
”Alright, when we resolve this problem, I will return with Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi and the others!”
”Yes, it's a deal!”
I hung up and took a deep breath. This was really a problem!
I had recovered from my illness, and my face in the game had become handsome. I could go see He Yi. But then people like Spring Mud and Moon Shadow appeared. If the discord was not managed, some unpleasant things would occur if I rashly went there. It was not the result I wanted if He Yi would be embarrassed.
Never mind. I was going to eat. Being a rice weevil with a dream was life!
……
There were no good places so we went to eat a dry pot. When we returned, it was 9 pm sharp. We went online to recruit people!
Whoosh!
I appeared in Floating Ice City's inn. I looked at my personal messages and found more than 400. They were all player requests!
These were searchable. When I selected a name, I could see the other's stats and equipment!
Floating Ice City was a prosperous city so the players were all high in level. On the rankings, almost all the Top 1000 players had undergone the third promotion. In Floating Ice City alone, there were 467 Level 60 players. The difference was really tight!
I came to the plaza by the eastern gate. Today, the plaza was very busy. There were many high-level players with formidable equipment waiting and chattering. They had all come due to my and Bloody Mercenaries’ reputation!
On the forums, I got another moniker—Unkillable War God. The despicable forum moderators even made it into a badge and added it next to my name. So shameless...
Beiming Xue and Gui Guzi were already at the center of the plaza. Several high-level players were surrounding them, asking, ”Handsome Gui, Beauty Xue, what conditions do we have to satisfy to join Bloody Mercenaries? Please accept us. We’ve all offended people from Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon. If the Bloody Mercenaries don't accept us, we’ll have to kill ourselves...”
I was speechless. Damn, what kind of people were so eager to join Bloody Mercenaries? Was our guild a refugee alley for people to hide from Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon?
But after giving it some thought, it no longer felt that bad. People who dared to offend Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon would not be ordinary. Which of these players wasn’t elite among the players? Even if they were not elite, they had dignity and pride. These were the people that Bloody Mercenaries needed!
