Chapter 335: Chapter 316: He is Lying
In a guild territory in the Goryeo War Zone, inside an outpost, a male mage named "Tang Aotian" suddenly slammed the table, his face full of anger, saying:
"What?"
"They actually withdrew so many!"
"This is simply outrageous, do they really think we are pushovers?"
As he spoke, he lifted his hand and fiercely threw a decoration on the table to the ground:
"Bang!"
Tang Aotian couldn’t hold back the anger in his heart and shouted:
"Damn it!"
On the chair next to Tang Aotian was a male Soul Attendant named "Yaoji" (Soul Attendant: A special profession in the Goryeo War Zone that can summon Soul Body ghosts to fight).
Yaoji looked at Tang Aotian with a helpless expression and said:
"Why don’t we give up on this event?"
"This bunch of bastards clearly wants to make trouble for us, we might as well avoid dropping our hard-earned level 2 territory back to level 1."
"Bang!"
Tang Aotian punched the table, his face full of unwillingness, and asked:
"Up to now, how many have withdrawn in total?"
"Also, how many reliable members do we still have in the guild?"
The female fox race priest named "Qi Xia" sitting across from Yaoji spoke up:
"With those people causing trouble, over eleven hundred players withdrew from our guild in just a single day."
"Now we have fewer than eight hundred members, and most of them are our Hua Country players."
"For now, those who stayed are relatively more reliable."
Qi Xia’s beautiful face was also filled with worry as she asked:
"The event is starting tomorrow, and registration closes today, should we still continue to register?"
From the current form of the guild, it seems like we are practically missing out on this event.
As one of the guild managers, Yaoji naturally understood the guild’s current situation.
Thinking about what that group did, Yaoji grumbled angrily on the side:
"This bunch of bastards is really despicable."
"It’s one thing if they usually snatch our resources, but now, at this critical moment, they pull such a trick to undermine us, it’s too shameless."
At this point, Tang Aotian had no choice but to sigh and say:
"This bunch of bastards usually doesn’t like us Hua Country people, it’s only natural they’d target us at such a crucial time."
"However, having just eight hundred people is indeed too few, but..."
Tang Aotian, very displeased, said:
"Are we really going to waste such an opportunity to develop our territory?"
Each territory level up means the guild can grow continuously, and higher territory levels grant significant attribute bonuses to guild members.
The difference of one level is worlds apart!
Just then, Yaoji hesitated on the side and then said:
"Old Tang, don’t be mad when I say this."
"Even though we still have more than eight hundred people now, I got news that a good number of them are already wavering and could leave the guild at any time."
"Qi Xia is aware of this too."
"If we can’t change the situation of always being targeted and oppressed, our numbers might only dwindle further!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Aotian’s just-eased face darkened again:
"They’re all a bunch of traitors, better off without them."
Yaoji gave Qi Xia a helpless look and then said:
"This game is unlike any before."
"You know how much this game affects our real lives, and not everyone can live without worrying about food and clothing like us."
"Also, I heard about something else..."
At this point, both Qi Xia and Tang Aotian turned their heads to Yaoji, and Tang Aotian couldn’t help but frown:
"What is it?"
Yaoji sighed and said:
"After this event ends, Park Renyong might launch a guild war against us."
"Park Renyong?"
Qi Xia was astonished upon hearing this:
"That President of the Wind Ranger Guild?"
Hearing this news, Tang Aotian’s face instantly turned extremely grim:
"It seems they’re determined to make us disband!"
Yaoji looked at Tang Aotian:
"Do you have any plans?"
At this point, Tang Aotian could only sneer and say:
"Did you forget we Hua Country have a saying: when soldiers come, the general will block; when water comes, earth will cover?"
Then Tang Aotian said to Qi Xia:
"Qi Xia, you go register us, we’re participating in this event."
Qi Xia was startled upon hearing this:
"Are you sure we can fend off the demon attacks with our people?"
Tang Aotian, somewhat amused, asked in return:
"Then how can you be sure we definitely can’t?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xia stopped arguing further:
"Then I’ll go apply for participation now."
Tang Aotian nodded upon hearing this:
"Go ahead."
At this moment, Yaoji also stood up and said:
"If there’s nothing else, Old Tang, I’ll go on a mission."
Tang Aotian acknowledged with a hum, and Yaoji also followed him out the door.
When only Tang Aotian was left in the room, a dazzling gleam shot out from his eyes, and he murmured to himself:
"Wind Ranger Guild!"
Lin Yi looked somewhat surprised at the few people in front of him.
If Lin Yi remembered correctly, isn’t this guild from the Goryeo bastards’ country?
Because before his reincarnation, this guild had ranked among the top twenty in the world.
Combining this with the task mentioning a ’Soul Attendant’ profession, Lin Yi could now be 100% sure that he had arrived in the Goryeo War Zone.
The Soul Attendant named "Kwon Sang-woo" nodded and said:
"That’s right, it’s the third-ranked Wind Ranger Guild on the power ranking."
Then Kwon Sang-woo looked at Lin Yi:
"I see you haven’t joined a guild yet, why not come to my Wind Ranger Guild?"
"With your strength, I think it’s entirely possible for you to take a position as a branch president."
At this moment, someone on the side, after a beating, suddenly spoke up with puzzlement:
"Bei Batian, how come I never heard of your name before, and you’re not on the power ranking either."
"With the strength you just showed, it’s impossible for you not to be in the top fifty!"
Hearing the puzzlement from the one who just beat them, everyone was stunned for a moment, then each one suddenly realized and looked at Lin Yi with uncertainty.
The name "Bei Batian" was the alias Lin Yi used via the Stealth Ring, and he had made some adjustments to his appearance too.
At least now, even if Tian Ci stood right before him, they might not recognize Lin Yi without looking closely.
For the doubts from these people at that moment, Lin Yi was already mentally prepared and said:
"Earlier, I obtained equipment that can hide my ranking, and since I usually go solo, is it not normal that you’ve never heard of my name?"
"Is that so!"
Though the group still harbored doubts, they didn’t dig too deep.
After all, it’s just a game, who doesn’t have a secret or two, right?
Then Kwon Sang-woo once again extended an invitation to Lin Yi:
"Bei Batian, how about it, will you join my guild?"
...
Behind them, the mage Ji-Shan was staring starry-eyed at Lin Yi, sighing:
"This oppa is so handsome!"
Xing Yu, who was following along, whispered:
"Miss Ji-Shan, do you like him too?"
Ji-Shan rolled her eyes at Xing Yu beside her:
"Doesn’t Miss Xing Yu like him?"
Xing Yu instantly giggled:
"I like him."
Ji-Shan followed behind, listening to the conversation, worriedly saying:
"What if he doesn’t join our guild?"
Xing Yu, on the other hand, encouraged on the side:
"If Miss Ji-Shan personally takes action, oppa might really stay for Miss Ji-Shan."
Ji-Shan’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this:
"Really?"
Just then, Blood Thorn deliberately slowed his pace and came alongside the two women.
Seeing Blood Thorn’s serious expression, Ji-Shan couldn’t help but ask in confusion:
"Blood Thorn oppa, what’s wrong?"
But Blood Thorn, with a stern face, said, looking at Lin Yi’s back:
"He’s lying!"
