Chapter 572: Knight General Beauty Rain (1/2)

Another Cyan Battle Tiger fell to my Cyan Netherworld Sword as I pierced its stomach with Universe Break. Although I was fighting them one by one, my grinding speed was pretty quick. I had killed almost a hundred mobs in less than half an hour, meaning that I could complete my quest in four to five hours tops. Once Gui Guzi and the others had arrived, I would move to a different location and maintain my current pace. The level 162 Shadow-rank mob was powerful, but it also gave a lot of experience.

It was at this moment a system notification across all the main cities—

Ding~!

System Announcement: Player “Heaven’s Rain (Wind City)” has successfully defeated the Earth Rank Boss, Forest Plunderer, and reached Level 127. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the twenty eighth Famous General of China! They have gained Luck +1, Tactics +1, and the exclusive Famous General Skill, ”Knight General”!

Knight General: Increases Attack and Defense of all mounted players in the party by 25%. Skill effect depends on the player’s Tactics stat. This Famous General Skill is not unique and can be learned by multiple players.

……

Knight General?

I paused for a moment. Knight General was basically the poor man’s version of Gui Guzi’s Knight God! Although its stat boosts were halved, it was still an incredibly powerful Famous General Skill. Ignoring other stats such as HP and Agility for the moment, a 25% boost to Attack and Defense was almost the same as Lin Yixin’s Bombshell to a pure mounted player.

In the future battles for supremacy, most players including Warriors would hit level 150 and be able to ride a mount. Cavalry charges would become the core DPS of all wars, and almost every guild would strive to build their own flavor of cavalry troops. When the day comes, players with Knight General would become very important. Knight God was super strong, but Gui Guzi was only one person and could only buff one party. Therefore, the more players with Famous General Skill that buffed mounted players we could recruit, the better.

I brought up the friend interface and entered Heaven’s Rain into the search bar immediately. Looking at her profile, Heaven’s Rain was a beautiful magic knight. I then sent her a friend request that was accepted about a second later. Not daring to dilly dally for even a second—the pain of missing out on Lin Bing Dou Zhe still fresh in the memory—I sent Heaven’s Rain a call request immediately.

Ding! The call was connected, and a feminine, nervous voice came from the other side. “Aaoh? Is… is this Falling Dust?”

“Hi. Did you need something from me, big bro?” Heaven’s Rain was wearing a dumb smile on her face. “I’ve known about you since a long time ago. You’ve always been my idol, big bro. Candlelight Shadow is strong, but he’s also too scary. You are the true expert between the two of you, big bro!”

I smiled. Well, this makes things a lot easier.

“Sooooo…” I purposely dragged out the word for a bit before diving to the point, “Little Rain, the main reason I added you as a friend is to ask you if you’re willing to join our guild.”

“Ah?!”

Heaven’s Rain let out an exclamation of shock. She murmured, “Personally I really want to join your guild, Falling Dust, but… I’ve already promised my friends to join their guild. Ah, what should I do? Do you think I should speak with them first?”

I thought for a moment before asking, “How big is this guild?”

“7 members…”

“Fuck!” I almost puked blood when I heard that. “You can all join us. Your friends can contact Amazing Expert and join Bloody Mercenaries, while you will join Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. How does that sound?”

“Can I check with them first?”

“Sure!”

A few seconds later, Heaven’s Rain said excitedly, “Done. They’re all willing to join Bloody Mercenaries, and they all agree that there’s no future for me, a Famous General to stay in a small guild. By the way, er, can I meet you in person after joining Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Falling Dust?”

“Sure. Where do you live?”

“Jiaxing, Zhejiang.”

“Are you still studying?”

“Mn.”

“Okay, come to Suzhou when you’re free and visit the guild’s gaming base. Speak to Gui Guzi or Xu Yang, and they’ll take you to me!”

“Okay! It’s a promise!”

“It’s a promise!” I smiled again before continuing, “Alright, let’s get to business, shall we? Please leave your original guild now so I can send you a guild invitation. It’s a bit early, but I would like to introduce you to everyone!”

“Mn mn! Thank you, big bro!”

I sent Heaven’s Rain the guild invitation, and she accepted it quickly. The next moment, everyone in the guild received a guild notification: “Please be informed that player “Heaven’s Rain has joined the guild. Let us fight for a glorious future together!

……

The guild channel erupted at once—

Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun: “Aiya, Heaven’s Rain the Wind City girl who just became a Famous General, right? How did she join the guild this quickly?”
