Chapter 521: Rose Visits (2/2)
I sucked in a deep breath. The assessment was pretty fair and objective all things considered. I had a tonne of Spirit-grade or Earth-grade Outstanding equipment such as the God Suppressing Necklace, God Suppressing Helmet, Soul Suppressing Cloak and Heavenly-stealing Sword, so in terms of equipment literally no one in China was better than me. It was also the main reason Candlelight Shadow couldn’t get a good win rate against me. My next objective was to find a big map, do some quests, grind some levels etc and get to level 150 as soon as possible. I would become the first swordsman ever to ride a mount!
……
It was at this moment we heard someone knocking at the front door.
“Huh. Who is it? Is it time to pay rent already?” He Yi exclaimed in surprise.
I walked over and looked through the peephole. I found a 20-year-old girl wearing a t-shirt standing outside. She also wore a light blue-colored badge in front of her chest, but I couldn’t see the name written on it clearly.
So I opened the door and asked, “You are?”
The girl stared at me with her big, round eyes for a moment before blinking. “Are… are you Falling Dust, the Little Heavenly King? OMG you’re so… handsome…”
The compliment made me blush. “Seriously, who are you?”
The girl extended a hand to me and smiled brightly. “Hello, Falling Dust! I’m your team leader, Rose!”
“Rose?”
Her introduction only increased my surprise. Grasping her hand and giving it a shake, I asked, “You should’ve told us that you’re coming so we could receive you properly…”
Rose giggled a bit before walking into the living room. “There’s no need. It’s only a two-hour trip from Shanghai to Suzhou, so I decided to drive over myself. As for why I’m here, I want to meet you all in person, that’s all.”
He Yi rose to her feet and greeted Rose with a smile. “Wow, you’re quite the pretty woman in real life, Rose!”
Rose stared at He Yi for a moment before exclaiming, “So beautiful…”
Murong Mingyue greeted her next, and Rose froze like a statue. “So big…”
Beiming Xue greeted her last, and Rose twitched back to reality. “So cute…”
……
We all sat down in the living room as Rose produced a set of documents from her small bag. She started, “I’m the leader of the club, but you’re the ones who are going to be acting on the stage, metaphorically speaking. Therefore, I would like to inquire your opinions before I make any new recruitment. Here, please check out the first draft of the recruitment list.”
He Yi accepted the document and gave it a look before passing it over to me. There was a long list of names—
Remains LV-122 Class: Warrior City: Vanished God City Guild: Blazing Hot Lips
Heart Like Water LV-123 Class: Mage City: Vanished God City Guild: Hunting Moon Dynasty
Unwilling to Fight LV-123 Class: Archer City: Wind City Guild: Peach Garden
Hidden Fragrance LV-122 Class: Magic Knight City: Wind City Guild: Purple Lily
Calm Night LV-121 Class: Assassin City: Sky City Guild: The Monarch Descends
Little Little Hero LV-123 Class: Mage City: Vanished God City Guild: Blazing Hot Lips
Butterfly Dance LV-122 Class: Dark Ritualist City: Wind City Guild: Candle Dragon
……
I licked my lips after skimming over the name list. “This is a mess. There are players from all kinds of cities and guilds…”
Rose nodded with a smile. “Mn. This is what our headhunters gathered after seeking out the best PvP players they could find in every city. They’ll all work for Lenovo if the signings are confirmed. They are the ones who’ll be participating in all minor tournaments unless the four of you choose to participate in them. Basically, you’ll never meet each other unless something unusual happens. Is this okay with you?”
He Yi and I exchanged a smile with each other before nodding in unison. “We have no problems with your decision whatsoever. Feel free to sign whoever is necessary!”
“That’s great!” Rose replied with a smile. “So, do you want to have lunch together?”
“Your treat?”
“I mean, sure, I can apply for reimbursement…”
“Alright, let’s go!”
“...”
……
We were just out of the door when my phone rang. It was Lin Yixin’s number.
“Hello, Yiyi. What’s wrong?”
“Did you check the official homepage a couple minutes ago, Lu Chen?”
“Nope. Why?”
