Chapter 619: Thief Party (2/2)

”Well, you’re a famous person, and…” Cute Little Naughty hesitated as she caressed her daggers. ”I’m super poor. Where am I going to gather 5000 RMB for the system?”

Smiling a little, I transferred 100k gold to Naughty on the spot and said, ”Here, this should be enough to cover the initial fees required to develop the eighth subguild. Everything else after that is up to you.”

”Mn, mn!”

After that, I brought up the system announcement interface, composed a message and sent it out at the cost of 5000 RMB—

Ding~!

System Announcement (Player ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand” Shout): Atten-hut, thieves of Sky City! Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is officially establishing its assassin-exclusive squad as the eighth subguild of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. The guild leader is Cute Little Naughty. Assassins proficient in hiding in darkness and dancers who enjoy dancing atop a knife’s edge, this is your chance to challenge your limits!! Cute Little Naughty will begin recruitment at the Northern Plaza of Sky City RIGHT NOW, so what else are you waiting for? Now then, the requirements: we accept good lookers with a golden heart, lone wolves who are capable of offense and defense, and even bandits who, deep down, are really good souls!! Also, please be Level 125 or above, and have three Dark Gold–grade pieces of equipment with you at least! Lastly, those with great skills, good looks, or smart minds who score all the scholarships in their schools get first priority!

……

Cute Little Naughty turned red when she saw the recruitment notice I posted. She said, ”Big brother vice leader, your literary talent truly knows no bounds…”

Her ”praise” made me blush a bit. ”Sorry, I think I read a bit too much toilet literature...”

Cute Little Naughty nodded. ”Well, that’s done. Sister Chaos Moon, do you want to come with me and do the recruitment together?”

Chaos Moon shook her head hurriedly. ”Nah, you should do this yourself. It’s not right for me to assume your responsibilities!”

I smiled. ”What you really mean to say is that you don’t want to part with your guild contribution points, right?”

Chaos Moon narrowed her eyes at me. ”Say the truth again and I’ll beat you up, boy!”

Surprisingly, Lin Yixin immediately gripped her dagger and watched Chaos Moon warily. She looked poised to strike the second Chaos Moon put her words into action.

Clear Perfume patted her shoulder once and asked in confusion, ”What are you doing, Yiyi?”

Lin Yixin blinked once before answering, ”I’m the only one who gets to beat up my Little Cheat…”

Chaos Moon threw her arms into the air. ”Oh my god, fine, forget I ever said anything. Where’s Lu Buyi? Come on, let’s go get some supper before getting back to the grind!”

……

I checked the time and noted that it was very late, so I said to Lin Yixin, ”Yiyi, you must be tired. Go grab some food and get some rest already!”

Lin Yixin nodded. ”Mn, I’m off to bed then. You should sleep too!”

”I know. See you!”

Lin Yixin took out a return scroll and teleported away just like that. Our people were still celebrating the victory, and to be fair it was an epic victory. We were vastly outnumbered, and not only did we manage to kill a ton of players, our territory increased a ton of levels as well. Thanks to this war, we gained a super fortress that no one had the power to take away from us!

……

”Let’s log out and have supper as well!” Murong Mingyue spoke up. ”Eve and I predicted that something like this might happen, so we packed some supper before coming back home, hehe! Don’t forget to tell Lil Beiming too!”

”Mn.”

I logged out after sending Beiming Xue the message.

I took off the helmet and took two deep gulps of fresh water. I was exhausted after being online for a dozen or so hours. When I left my room, the girls were already unwrapping the food they bought at the living hall already. There was fish soup, fried meat with chili peppers, a roasted chicken, a plate of boiled peanuts, and beef slices. It was a fairly rich supper. They even bought porridges to help wash away the oiliness of the food. Their thoughtfulness was appreciated to say the least.

I felt my appetite rising the second I smelled the food. I sat down next to He Yi with a smile and commented, ”Man, I feel so hungry all of a sudden…”

He Yi giggled. ”It would be strange if you felt after being online for so many hours. Just take your time. There are some steamed buns too…”

I drank the porridge, took a bite from a bun, and ate the delicious dishes on the table ravenously. I felt like my life was worth it as I ate supper while surrounded by three gorgeous women.

I shot He Yi a question while eating, ”So, Sister Yi, how goes your business at Nanjing?”

”Everything went very smoothly.” He Yi answered while taking tiny bites from her porridge. ”Mingyue and I split up and did what we had to do. Since Nanjing was our headquarters even before the fallout, it was easy to arrange for the transfer of manpower and resources. The subsidiary company for Raincube will be established in a week at most, and once that is done we’ll be able to supply the Nanjing server of Heavenblessed with technical and manpower services directly.”

”Mn, that’s great. Issues like disconnections should happen far less frequently if Raincube can provide their expertise. One time, we lost hundreds of players to mobs on a leveling trip because of a disconnection. Later, we learned that it was because the server at Hangzhou had experienced a sudden shut down. It was terrible…”

He Yi smiled. ”Yes. Blue Star is an electronic-focused company, so they are lacking in the virtual software department. It’s also why Ling Xue and Ling Yue look forward to cooperating with us. After all, not even Blue Star can avoid answering to the parent company of Eternal Moon Corporation, and if they do a poor job in this project they could be fired at any moment.”

Taking a bite out of her own steamed bun, Murong Mingyue stared at me and said, ”We’re gone for only one day, and Lu Chen caused such a big commotion inside the game already, hehe…”

I rolled my eyes at her. ”You say as if I wanted this to happen. The enemies were over five hundred thousand strong, and all our guilds combined are only seventy or eighty thousand people at most. I never want to be outnumbered like this ever again. When you guys are finished with your work, please focus on increasing the number of our subguilds!”

”Got it, we’ll do our best~” Murong Mingyue giggled. ”We managed to dig another group of core technical experts from India today. They’re all Eve’s former subordinates, so they have no qualms quitting their jobs and joining her at Raincube. Hehe, I’m sure the top level of GGS is having a massive headache right now!”

I sighed. ”Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…”

Murong Mingyue shot me a look. ”Oh, you heartless bastard. Who do you think Eve is doing all this for…”
