Da Vinci wanted to say something, but a glance from Li Yao stopped him. He said, “If that’s the case, then so be it, sorry to bother you.”

After saying that, he turned around and left with the rest following him.

The manager watched them leave with a faint smirk and then made a call, “Boss Gu, the matter is taken care of. You can rest assured.”

“Hmm.” The other party hung up after just one word.

The manager spat and then grinningly made another call, “Trust me, Mr. Wang, the matter you instructed has been properly handled.”

“I see.” This Mr. Wang also hung up the call.

The manager spat again, cursing the rich, and then got ready to put on a new smiling face before dialing his next call…

“Big Brother, are we just giving up? We can still try. Clearly, he was behaving maliciously.” Dumb-bell pupil complained outside.

“If you insist, I might come up with some way,” Sister Li said.

Li Yao laughed and said, “If we can’t participate, then we won’t. It’s not a big deal.”

“That’s not like you. What’s your plan? Stop beating around the bush,” Feng Yi said.

“If they don’t want us to participate, then we won’t. It’s not a big deal,” Li Yao said nonchalantly.

“Uncle, you’re not addled with anger, are you?” Da Vinci rolled his eyes.

“They have the capability to stop us from participating in the pioneer match, but they can’t stop us from pioneering raids in the game, right? Participating in the competition is just about getting some more exposure, but I don’t need that now,” Li Yao smirked.

“Right, we will pioneer by ourselves and get the first kill. Let them hold a competition with so many people watching. Let’s see what they will do afterward,” Dumb-bell pupil angrily said.

Sister Li pondered for a bit and said, “If that’s your plan, you might as well have Xiayao stream our game, so that we can grab some audience members from them. Of course, the prerequisite is whether you’re confident because we have to be ahead of those big guilds at the least, or else there would be no point. It’ll just negatively impact your reputation.”

“That’s what we’ll do then. Since they want to play, we will play along and see how they will wrap it up.”

Although Li Yao didn’t say it outright, it was clear from his attitude at that moment that he was brimming with confidence.

“If that’s the case, I’ll upload a Weibo post and then send a notification in the game. If we’re going to play, then we’ll go all out,” Feng Yi decided.

“Right, go all out, and slap their faces hard,” Da Vinci said, waving his hand.

“Let them be arrogant, hmph,” Dumb-bell pupil’s mood also improved.

Just as they stepped out of the stadium, quite a few people surrounded them.

“Prairie Fire, I’m the manager of Club XX, we are sincere in inviting you to join us and enjoy the treatment of a professional player.”

“Tsk, professional players are planning to sign Prairie Fire, save some face. I’m the manager of Club XX, apart from enjoying the treatment of professional players, we can also guarantee to handle athletes’ matters.”

“I’ll offer the treatment of a top professional player, an annual salary of no less than 5 million. If you’re not satisfied with the price, we can negotiate. Why don’t Prairie Fire and I have a chat?”

“Running a guild is not as easy as you think.”

“Exactly, Prairie Fire, with your superb skills, why bother with the mundane affairs of a guild? Instead, join a team. That’s the most promising path.”

“I have a contract here, why don’t you take a look?” Gu Cheng’s sidekick, Moon Bright Star Rare, handed Li Yao a contract.

“An annual salary of ten million, quite generous,” Li Yao said with a smirk.

Hearing about the annual salary of ten million, the other club managers fell silent, unable to offer such terms. They felt a twinge of regret.

“Our boss highly regards you. How about it? It is more than you could ever earn in your lifetime. Sign it, and then we’ll be one big family,” Moon Bright Star Rare said, holding an air of inevitability.

“Haha, I appreciate Boss Gu’s kindness, but that’s too much money for a poor man like me to cope with,” Li Yao folded the contract neatly and placed it back in his hand, continuing, “More importantly, I bear grudges, very long grudges.”

Li Yao patted his shoulder, cleared a path through the crowd, and walked away.

The club managers exchanged glances before shaking their heads and walking away.

“This piece of crap, if it wasn’t for his mecha, he thinks he’s worth ten million? Ignorant,” Moon Bright Star Rare sneered disdainfully.

Gu Cheng held the contract in his hand, slowly tearing it apart, then casually threw the pieces into a trash bin. He said indifferently, “If he can’t be of use to me.”

“I’ll take care of it, boss. We can’t touch him in reality, but in the game…” Moon Bright Star Rare’s eyes flashed with a hint of malice.

Gu Cheng nodded his head, drew one gorgeous-looking girl closer to his side, and then walked off.

“We should also disperse, I’ll meet you all in the game,” Li Yao said.

“Alright, we will work out our own arrangements,” Feng Yi nodded.

After bidding farewell, everyone headed home.

As soon as Li Yao returned home, he logged into the game. The pioneering match was about to start. Although he was confident, he hoped that nothing would go awry. He didn’t have a lot of time.

The confirmed team members were himself, Feng Yi, Sister Li, Dumb-bell pupil, and Da Vinci. Except for Da Vinci who was a healer, everyone else was a damage dealer.

For a ten-player party, it primarily required two tanks, one main, one secondary. It would also be better to have two healers. The remaining spots were for damage dealers, about six positions.

Li Yao logged in and checked his friends’ list, then he contacted Shadow Dance first, “We will pioneer a level-10 mainline instance later. Are you interested?”

Shadow Dance quickly replied, “Oh great, I’ve been waiting for your communication. Yes, I’m very interested.”

“Okay, you go to the instance teleportation point in the town first. I’ll tell you about the instance later,” Li Yao said.

“Okay, I’ll head there now.” Shadow Dance sounded very excited.

Li Yao hung up the private chat, then called Guardian Angel, “We’re about to pioneer the level-10 mainline instance, will you join?”

“Of course, we’re in town right now. Didn’t we discuss this earlier?” Guardian Angel said.

“Okay, we now have eight people, we’re missing a main tank and a damage dealer. Do you know anybody suitable for these positions?” Li Yao asked.

“About that… you know our types of personalities,” Guardian Angel replied with a bitter smile.

“Alright, I’ll figure it out,” Li Yao hung up the call.

Li Yao looked up his friends and realized that the only familiar ones were Horizon and Fleeting Blossom.

However, considering the pleasant collaboration he had with Horizon recently, he ended up calling Horizon…
