The next morning, several staff members were installing a brand-new, top-of-the-line gaming pod in Ye Yun’s office, while another had already been set up, with Ding Yi inside experiencing it.
"Can't see those curves anymore! What a pity!" Ye Yun grumbled unhappily as he watched the gaming pod close, then cheered up.
"Report, the four you requested have been brought in and are in the conference room downstairs!" Zhou Ningdong entered just in time to see Ye Yun circling a newly installed gaming pod in his office.
"Oh? Bring them up." Ye Yun glanced at him, continuing to admire the recently arrived gaming pod. Top-tier items were truly different; they just looked pleasing to the eye.
He needed to ask Ding Yi thoroughly about the experience once she came out. What was different about it?
"This, General, this is against regulations..."
On the top floor of Longgong Tower, Ye Yun’s residence and office, no one could come up except Ding Yi and Zhou Ningdong.
"There are no such things as regulations, just go. Also, call Xiao Li and Xiao Liu over, let everyone get acquainted," Ye Yun said, reaching out to pat the gaming pod. It was quite sturdy. If not for his old friends arriving, he would have been itching to get in and experience the game.
Five minutes later, seven people appeared in Ye Yun's office.
"Chen Jiamiao! Professional Mage, talent skill: Sanction, effect is an additional 50% mandatory damage." Ye Yun looked at the person who entered, speaking to a thin, dark-skinned boy with a traitorous hairstyle.
"Xie Yifeng, Marksman, talent skill: Extreme, should be 80% attack bonus when attacking a single target! Right?" Ye Yun then turned to a tall, thin young man with glasses.
"Beast Tamer, talent skill is Beast Emperor, effect is that the number of tamable demonic beasts increases by 1 for every level, correct, beautiful Jin Zhiyuan?" Ye Yun smiled faintly at a girl with shoulder-length black hair and a cold expression, dressed like a student.
"The last one, Mu Ziming, special class, Warrior! Comes with talent skill Yellow Turban Banner, effect is..."
"You... Who are you? Why do you know my profession and talent skill!"
Before Ye Yun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a timid-looking young boy hiding behind the others.
"Haha, I am the supreme commander of Huaguo Longgong, and also the captain of Huaguo’s national team entering Tiandao! How do you think I know?" Ye Yun teased, completely ignoring the three burly men who were rolling their eyes beside him.
If the national machinery could access in-game data and information, they would have already unearthed Ye Yun.
The four men’s faces were grim, filled mostly with fear. They had never experienced such a grand spectacle before.
They were brought by soldiers as soon as they woke up in the morning and flown directly to Modu. After entering Longgong Tower, they felt numb, seeing soldiers everywhere! And above the rank of NCO!
"Alright! Enough joking! Now, on behalf of Longgong, I sincerely invite the four of you to join us in Longgong and contribute to our country in Tiandao! And also to prevent your talents from being buried!"
The talent skills of these four were professionally relevant but also quite niche, yet absolutely formidable. For instance, Chen Jiamiao’s 'Sanction', which dealt an additional 50% damage, was equivalent to ignoring enemy defense and dealing 50% of the user's attack as fixed damage with every hit!
This was practically a replica of Ye Yun’s 'Mystic Flame Earth Fire', only the damage was as high as 50%. If used with area-of-effect attacks, it would be terrifying.
The four could be said to have unique strengths. In his previous life, Ye Yun was a Mage with +200% physical defense! Thus, Ye Yun was almost the only one among the five whose talent skill didn't match his profession, but this talent skill happened to compensate for their lack of a tank.
"Phew... I was scared to death. I thought I had committed some crime," Xie Yifeng, the oldest among them, had the strongest psychological resilience.
"Sit down and take a break first." Although the five were familiar in their previous lives, they were not yet familiar with each other now.
After sitting down, Zhou Ningdong and the other two began to persuade the four. In Huaguo, almost everyone had a sense of patriotism, and soon, the four accepted the invitation. Ye Yun also learned their relevant in-game information.
Unfortunately, none of the four had reached level 10 yet! But then...
Ye Yun immediately promoted the four to Squadron Leaders, each in charge of 50 squads, totaling 500 people! Zhou Ningdong and the other two would arrange dedicated personnel to guide and assist them. Ye Yun was also generous, allocating 40 billion gold coins to each person, including funds to upgrade their talents to SSS rank!
As for their families, they would be settled at Longgong Tower in the next couple of days.
Looking at the excited four, Ye Yun was happy for them. It was a pity that Ye Yun’s current path was already different from his previous life. Leading the charge alone destined him for a lonely journey in the game.
"I want the four of you to reach level 10 in these two days! Then, immediately rush to Fengle Village to rendezvous with everyone! Understood!"
"Yes!" The four saluted awkwardly in a military fashion, which made Ye Yun feel embarrassed for them.
The four followed Zhou Ningdong to complete their enlistment procedures, and Li Chenxu and Liu Hai also went about their respective tasks. The vast office suddenly quieted down again.
"Heh heh, this Mu Ziming is too low-key. If his talent skill were known to outsiders, countless consortiums would imprison him to pull him into their ranks."
Mu Ziming interrupting Ye Yun’s words was definitely because he didn't want others to know his talent skill. This was because his talent skill was indeed quite formidable. Most importantly, it would make allies feel very uncomfortable!
Yellow Turban Banner! As long as the heavens do not fall, the Yellow Turbans shall rise!
It was a shame that in his previous life, this talent was buried. Without resources, without influence, it was too difficult to rise!
Perhaps he could focus on cultivating him…
