Im completely shocked. The Lv 45 Gold Tiered axe actually sold for 4000 gold. At an exchange rate of 1:10, this would be 4W RMB (6700 USD). But if they have the money, Ill sell even if its [Vanguard]. The rumor is that Jian Feng Han is the director of a real estate company. For real, Im not exaggerating.

After a few minutes, Simple comes forward, opens the trading interface, and places 4,000G. I check and double check the number before trading the Proud Heaven Axe. Simple says: Pleasure doing business with you!

With a di sound, the transaction is complete. Simple shows me a smileAh, actually, I feel very sorry for you, Xiao Yao

No problem!

I return my Jade City Sword into its sheath, and turn to leave. Behind me, Simple gives the Proud Heaven Axe to the Jian Feng Han. He glares coldly at me and says: Ah, so with this Gray Wolfs attack power will exceed 1200+

Ah

I act nonchalantly but am secretly scared. Whos Gray Wolf? With the Proud Heaven Axe, he has 1200+ attack power? I add all my points into strength and combined with top tier equipment, I only have 1,000 damage. So that Gray Wolfs equipment probably isnt inferior to mine.

As I walk in the direction of the warehouse, I pull up the Ba Huang City rankings, and sure enough, within the first 19 positions in the ranking, the most probable player appears

Gray Wolf LVL 42 Silver Berserker

Barring any surprises, the guy Jian Feng Han talked about is him. He seems like a real cutting edge talent. Looks like [Vanguard] has more than Jian Feng Han and Simple.

Just then, with a di sound, General Li Mu came with news: Xiao Yao

I reply: Oh, you want to borrow money!?

Howd you know

I could guess. If the General Familys that poor, where are you going to get 10,000 gold from. Thats like 100,000 RMB worth of gold.

General Li Mu opens up a chat, his voice full of regretXiao Yao, I know that we shouldnt bother you with these things, but we have no other choice. We four brothers, in order to buy the helmets, sold practically all our possessions, and now youve already helped us get the Guild Creation Tablet, but we dont have the money to establish the guild. This is really

Im speechless: Well, tell me, how much gold are you still missing?

Li Mu thinks a bit: With all our efforts, weve gathered 7000G, but thats our limit. We cant even get 10 more gold coins. Wang Jian and Lian Po have already sold all their valuable equipment. If we keep going like this, well be fighting monsters naked. Even if we establish the guild, well still be abused ceaselessly by the others

After being deep in thought, I say: SureI just sold the Proud Heaven Axe for 4000G, but I need to keep 1000G for buying gaming helmets. Thats the only way my brothers can return to reorganize our gaming studio. How about this Ill give you 3000G. This is the max I can offer. I can only help you that far

Li Mu excitedly saysOkay, Xiao Yao, with an investment of a mere 3000G, you can become our new guilds VIP! Ah no, if you join our guild, Ill make you second-in-command! If that isnt possible, you can be the boss and Ill be second.

I couldnt help but smileThats enough. I dont want to cause trouble. The guilds also yours. Besides, I dont have any thoughts in joining a guild. Well, at least not temporarily. Li Mu, come to Ba Huang Citys northern plaza right now. Ill give you the gold. Establish your guild as soon as possible. Dont let anyone else beat us to it!

Yes yes

Walking back, it hadnt even been a few minutes before Li Mu excitedly runs around the corner towards me. Hes already sold 3 pieces of armor he had be wearing, replaced now with simple green tier equipment. With his green appearance, youd never know that he was a top 3 expert few days ago!

Come on

I hand over 3000 gold coins directly to him. Li Mu laughs and nods: Thank you, Xiao Yao. You will always be our brother, really. Ive played games for several years, and never have I seen someone like you with so much loyalty!

Loyalty? I smile: Im just stupid

Haha, then be stupid. We are all dumb!

Go, hurry and establish your guild!

Yup!

Li Mu eagerly left and I put the leftover 1000G into the [Treasure Trove] to sell. 1G sells for 9 RMB, so theyre still relatively easy to sell. Putting a stall in the square, I sell some Green and Bronze equipment. To lend 3000G to someone in one go, I probably wont get most of it back. I need to make some more money. Even a few G is money!

Quickly, half an hour passes.

Hugging my sword and reclining against the city wall, I wait for some proprietor to show up in my humble booth, but for a long time no one shows up. In the end, two lively girls stand in front of me. A Mage and an Assassin.

Ahem, how did you get into the city? Wan Er, Dong Cheng? I look at them.

Lin Wan Er, dressed in fine leather was shouldering a silver pendant. Her pretty face is smiling, arms crossed by her chest. Her curvy 34Ds shape slightly changes under the squeeze of her leather outfit. The pair of slender snow-white legs attract wild thoughts. Her red cloak gently sways behind her. Above her head is the eye-catching golden crest, signifying her top 10 rank in Fan Shu City. She grins at meWhat, this native wont allow us travelers to rest in his town?

I stretch my arms and say: Well, every time you two come, Ba Huang City goes into an uproar.

UhLin Wan Er, in a good mood says: Whats the matter, has the General Family established their guild, yet? It looks like they havent. It couldnt be that theyre lacking money, right?

I remember Li Mus frantic borrowing of money and cant help but smile: No. Theyre all rich. They shouldnt be lacking money.

I dont believe you

Beside her, Dong Cheng Yue smiles and saysXiao Yao, you helped the General Family get the Guild Creation Tabletwhat did you get in return?

My head shakesNothing, but I did pick up this piece of equipment that the boss dropped.

Eh, what equipment? Lin Wan Er asks.

I open up the armor list in my inventory, and point to the famous #1 ranked Purple Tier helmet and say: Ah, its this, but I need to be Lv 45 to wear it. Im almost there.

Eh? Beacthe Fire Beacon Helmets in your hands?! Lin Wan Er looks astonished.

Yup. I earnestly nod.

Then you should treat

Alright. Where do we go to eat, you choose! I glance at the system message saying that my 1000G has already been sold. I have money!

Lin Wan Er, closing her crescent moon-shaped eyes, says: Sure we better go to the Pine Crane House, right? I want the somewhat nostalgic taste of squirrel mandarin fish.

Damn

I tighten my fists and say: Okay, just this once. Because you both went out of your way to rescue me, this will be my thanks to you.

Dong Cheng Yue gigglesIts definitely necessary. You dont know this, but Wan Er spent countless hours trying to convince Q-Sword to deploy their forces to Ba Huang City. For all we know, she might have offered him sexual favors or something

Dong Cheng!

Lin Wan Ers face reddens, glaring at Dong Cheng YueWhen have I prostituted myself! Hey, you shouldnt bullsh*t. I just promised Q-Sword that we wouldnt leave [Hero Mound] for three months.

Im quite moved: Wan Er, for helping me so much. thank you.

I dont need your thanks! I only need you to take us out for food!

Okay, lets go offline and eat in a few

Yup!

Just then, a sudden burst of the system noise floats and lingers in the air. Finally, the first player in the entire server has established a guild.

Ding!

System NotificationCongratulations, Player General Li Mu on being the first to use a Guild Creation Tablet to establish a guild. General Wang Jian and General Lian Po have been set as second-in-command. Guild name: Valiant Bravery! Because they are the first to establish a guild, they will be rewarded with +1 Lv, and +7 charm!

WoahLin Wan Er looks up at the sky. Her slender neck looks extremely enchanting. Shes deeply moved: The guild name the General Family picked sounds formidable[Valiant Bravery]

Dong Cheng Yue: Well, of course. Theyre extremely formidable

Moving my hand through my thin black hair: Damn, Li Mu, Wang Jian, these guys. Theyre apparently a group of dumb people

(The name of Valiant Bravery Literal Chinese meaning is that everyone dies to protect their clan/guild = Not a good name)

Lin Wan Er

Dong Cheng Yue giggles: Well, theres nothing to do here anymore. Lets go get dinner. Xiao Yao, today you youre taking us out to Pine Crane House. Im really hungry today!

Ah, go offline?

Okay!

All three of us go offline.

Taking off the helmet, I put on nice clothes and immediately leave.The two girls were already waiting for me by the time I got to their dorm. With their perfume, boys on the street flung their attention at them enviously.

Lin Wan Er reaches into her purse, and takes out the keys to her Audi TT and with a Shua, throws them over.

Pa!

Catching them in my hands, I ask: Miss?

Today you drive! We agreed last time.

Alright

Bringing the two girls to the school parking lot, I notice that, while Lin Wan Ers TT is not a particularly high end car in Liu Hua University. With Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Bentleys and other international cars everywhere in the parking lot, the parking lot looks like an international high end auto show.

30 minutes later, were seated by a window at Pine Crane House. We could see the starry lights flickering in the night all across the city skyline.

Whatever. I give up. I should have my 23,000 yuan (6,000 USD) in my credit card. I feel that I need to thank Dragon City for giving me the opportunity to make such a big fortune!

The pretty Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue sit on the other side. I carefully look at the prices on the menu. After ordering a few dishes, its like my hearts leaking blood. Finally, confirming the order, the total was about 800 yuan (130 USD).

Li Xiao Yao Lin Wan Er says my name pensively.

I look up at her: Ah, Wan Er. Is there a problem?

Ah

Looking at her cup of barley tea, Lin Wan Er says: First you got hunted by [Wrath of the Heroes], then you got framed by [Vanguard] and finally you got PKed when [Flying Dragon] tried to steal your loot. Do you just not feel anything?

I tighten my fist: How could I not feel Ive found that one person cannot make a strong enough foothold in the game. I must recruit

Yup. Yup. Dong Cheng Yue nod her head repeatedly.

What are you thinking of doing? Lin Wan Er chuckles.

I answer: First, Ill reorganize the studios brothers from three years ago. Ill scrape together the five person team and then well grow and develop, until we gain a foothold in Ba Huang City!

Those friends of yours. They all dont have gaming helmets, right? Lin Wan Er asks.

AhNo

Ms Lin chuckles, raises her phone, and says: Well, theres still 12 hours. Tomorrow morning, at 8:00 AM, Destinys second batch of helmets will be on sale. A total of 500W in outlet stores across multiple cities. Ill give you the information for free

Teng!

I suddenly stood up.

What are you doing? Lin Wan Er looks at me stunned.

Ill wait in line all night to buy the helmets!
