Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Han Xing dealt with Han Yanran and Shan Ling’s matter, he went straight to the Watercloud Guild without delay, preparing to talk to Fleeting Life about what would happen next.
As soon as he arrived at the territory of the Watercloud Guild, one of the female players immediately jumped up and shouted excitedly when she saw Star Rebel, “Guild Master Star Rebel, why are you here today?”
“I haven’t seen you around much this month.”
Han Xing laughed and replied, “1 had something on this month. By the way, is your Guild Master here?”
The female player nodded and said as she led Han Xing inside, “Yes, yes, our guild master is discussing something with the people from the other guilds.”
Han Xing raised his eyebrows. He did not expect these people to act so quickly. They did not manage to rope him in, but instead, they chose the strong Watercloud Guild.
As Han Xing walked in, he glanced at the layout of the Watercloud Guild. As he looked at it, he sighed inwardly. No wonder Fourteen Continents always liked to go to this guild. There were too many girls here, and all of them were extremely beautiful.
If he hadn’t known beforehand Fleeting Life had strict requirements for players’ strength, he would have suspected that Fleeting Life had opened a guild to recruit beautiful women.
“Guild Master Star Rebel, please wait here. After our guild master finishes her meeting, I will let her know.”
The female player brought Han Xing to a spacious lounge where he was alone.
Han Xing said, “Alright, go ahead and do what you need to do. Let me know if there’s anything else.”
When the female player heard what Star Rebel said, she did not want to disturb him anymore. She glared at the female players who had gathered at the door and said, “What are you all looking at? You haven’t seen God Gamer before, right? Hurry up and do your work.”
These female players were not afraid of her, and they all laughed and said, “I think you just want to play with God Gamer alone. Why don’t you bring us along?”
“That’s right! God Gamer, long time no see. Have you forgotten about us?”
“How heartless. My heart hurts! The last time we fought a boss battle, 1 protected Guild Master Star Rebel. 1 didn’t expect Guild Master Star Rebel to forget about me just like that!”
“Can you get lost, you pretentious woman? I hate people like you the most.”
Seeing that the female players were about to start a fight because of him, Han Xing quickly stood up and said, “Alright, that’s enough everyone, stop arguing. I’m here today to discuss something with your guild master. If everyone is free, you can visit the Mad Dragon Guild often.”
“But because 1 have to deal with offline matters recently, 1 might not be online often.”
When the female players heard that Star Rebel had invited them to visit the Mad Dragon Guild, they were all beaming with joy. However, if Star Rebel wasn’t in the game often, then what was the point?
They wanted to stay here and chat with Star Rebel for a while longer, but they were worried that the guild master would find out that they had left their posts after she finished her meeting. It would be bad if that happened.
These female players were conflicted for a while, but in the end, they still chose their guild duties.
After all, strength was the most important thing. Thinking of this, they could only leave reluctantly. In fact, they did not have ulterior motives. They just wanted to meet the person they admired.
Han Xing sat in the lounge for more than half an hour before he heard a commotion outside. Fleeting Life’s voice was a little soft, but it was particularly intimidating.
“That’s enough, if we can’t even agree on the simplest request, then what’s the point of talking about cooperation?”
After everyone left, a female player reported to Fleeting Life, “Guild Master Star Rebel is still waiting in the lounge.”
Fleeting Life was a little surprised, but in the next moment, she came back to her senses. A smile appeared on her face and said, “I’ll go see him now.”
“Why do you have the time to come to my Watercloud Guild today? Usually, I don’t even see your shadow.”
“I’m usually busy, but the members of the guild do interact with your Watercloud Guild quite a bit.”
As soon as Han Xing said that, Fleeting Life could not help but laugh, “All the members of your guild like to come to my place. However, all the female players I’ve recruited are only interested in you. I’ve even thought of letting you stay in my Watercloud Guild.”
“Watercloud Guild Master, please don’t make fun of me,” Han Xing said helplessly, “I can’t help it if they like to come over to your guild.”
“Alright, 1 won’t tease you anymore.”
Since Star Rebel was so honest, Fleeting Life did not tease him anymore. She asked, “What’s the reason for your visit today? Is it something important?”
Han Xing nodded, “Speaking of which, it’s really a big deal.”
He didn’t want to hide it. After all, the other guilds had already approached Fleeting Life, so she probably knew about this.
“That’s what happened. These aristocratic families’ guilds are already preparing to form an alliance. 1 think that if we want to form an alliance, we might as well find a guild we’re familiar with. This way, it would be much more convenient. What do you think?”
Fleeting Life was stunned. She did not expect Star Rebel to tell her so much information without holding anything back. To be honest, even she could not be as honest as Star Rebel. She was a little touched.
This meant that in Star Rebel’s heart, he already regarded her as a partner of equal status.
“I’ve also received invitations from quite a few other guilds today. However, in my opinion, they aren’t as reliable as you, Guild Master Star Rebel.”
“I know quite a few guilds. They’ve already contacted me privately, wanting to discuss working together with you, Guild Master Star Rebel. However, I’ve rejected all of them.”
In fact, Fleeting Life was still worried that once the Second World was ready to announce this news, large guilds like them would become the first target of the players.
After all, large guilds could obtain more resources, which meant that they would become stronger in the real world. There were many god gamers in the Second World, but there were even more ordinary players.
Fleeting Life sighed and explained, “If we really work together on this matter, it will be a big deal.”
“If millions of players rebel, then sooner or later, all of us will be dragged down. If we cooperate now, we’ll be too big of a target. We’ll easily become the target of attack.”
Han Xing did not think so. Fleeting Life was right to be worried, but normal players would not have such thoughts.
“With great power comes great responsibility. When we become strong enough, we will also become the protector of the ordinary people. I admit that there are all kinds of bad people in this world, but there are also many good people.”
In his previous life, when all the players learned that the Second World would fuse with reality, they were amazed by the power of technology. However, they also started to worry.. If the Second World resources and powers could really be used in reality, wouldn’t these god gamer players have a huge advantage?
