Chapter 235: Chapter 73: Legendary Games During the Beta Testing Period_3

At that moment, it was Yuan Bai’s turn. He sang out loud, "Life lasts but fifty years, swiftly passing between clouds and water, guided by the Immortal, follow as you please, do not say that there are no casual encounters in the mountains."

"Beautiful poem, beautiful poem indeed! Senior Yuan is truly genuine with great literary grace, please drink a full cup."

Just as Yuan Bai was about to drink from his cup, he caught sight of Xiao Jie.

"Come come, little brother, come here. These are some new friends I’ve made, all wonderful kids, and they even invited me for drinks and food. Speaking of which, have you thought through your matters?"

Xiao Jie glanced at those people and was at a loss for words; they were all gamers.

No need to ask, they had definitely seen a Worldly Expert in the tavern and came here to brush up favorability.

But he wasn’t worried. Favorability wasn’t so easy to earn. Thinking that you could max it out just by dining and drinking was wishful thinking.

He himself had learned the Supreme Saber Technique only by helping the White Ape ask the Immortal for guidance.

Just you few...

However, such things couldn’t really be forbidden.

The gamers tensed up upon seeing Xiao Jie, as they had all clearly seen him killing someone in the street during the day.

Only now did they realize he was actually the Worldly Expert’s brother, and indeed impressive.

"Good evening, Feng."

"Feng, such a tasteful gathering. Join us for a drink?"

"You guys drink if you want," Xiao Jie said, uninterested in dealing with them, "Senior Yuan, I just had a dream and got some revelations. I have decided on my next steps."

"That’s good to hear—ah, being alive sure is fun. With drinks and songs, it’s truly joyful. Come on, let’s have another drink... and you recite a poem too."

After finally placating Yuan Bai, Xiao Jie sent a private message to Dragon Soaring Above the World.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Chairman Long, I have decided. I can join the Dragon Soaring Knights, but just to be clear, I’m pretty laid-back and can’t stand being restricted or bossed around. If you recruit me, be prepared emotionally. And if I decide to leave the guild later because I can’t stand it, don’t be mad.

Dragon Soaring Above the World: Hahaha, brother, you are truly straightforward. No worries, our Dragon Soaring Knights actually have different categories, core members and outer circle members. Core members undergo strict selection and must adhere to guild rules strictly.

Of course, the benefits are better too. The guild not only distributes equipment and mounts but also helps with job transfers and reputation boosting.

The outer circle members don’t have as many restrictions; as long as they don’t harm the guild, it’s fine. When there’s an activity, I’ll send a message in the group. If anyone wants to participate, they can register. No problem if they don’t want to participate.

Of course, benefits are somewhat lesser, with just a mount provided.

Brother, since you do not want to be restricted, being in the outer circle will suit you well. Plus, I can grant you the title of Guest Elder.

This title is only available to Physical system warriors above level 30 or Magic system practitioners above level 20."

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Oh, what use is this title?

Dragon Soaring Above the World: Of course, it’s useful, mainly concerning benefits. Our guild gives new members a horse. Ordinary members get an inferior horse, but Guest Elders receive a warhorse. Plus, Guest Elders can recruit outer circle members. During guild activities, they can also participate in decision-making. Additionally, if they need intelligence or funds, they can apply, though approval depends on the reason given."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this wasn’t too bad. Although the benefits weren’t as extravagant as the Pantheon, it was still significant support.

The key was the lack of restrictions. If he doesn’t like it after a while, he can just leave.

In this respect, the Dragon Soaring Knights were much better than the Pantheon.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Then it’s settled.

Xiao Jie then sent a message to Divine Calculation Sky Demon,

Hidden Moon Following Wind, "Sorry, I’ve decided to join the Dragon Soaring Knights. I find their plan quite appealing."

Divine Calculation Sky Demon, "Hehe, let it be then, but I must say, you have no idea what you’ve missed."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was precisely because he knew that he didn’t dare join them.

After closing the message, Xiao Jie logged off the game.

Meanwhile, at the Dragon Soaring Knights’ headquarters—

This three-story building had already been purchased by the Dragon Soaring Knights, with guild-hired NPCs guarding both inside and out.

Up on the top floor’s platform, a meeting was in progress.

"Alright, the deed is done. The kid has decided to join. I’ve offered him a position as a Guest Elder. Tomorrow Si Hai will handle his membership procedures and distribute the newcomer benefits. Let’s continue our meeting—where were we?"

"Chairman, is it really necessary to spend so much to woo a newcomer?" Si Hai, the vice president of the Dragon Soaring Knights and a Level 38 Divine General, asked.

"This kid is special. I’m the best at judging people. As long as he doesn’t die, he will definitely make a big impact. Consider it an investment."

Another person, named Hong Fu Qitian, a Divine Descent, added, "The Chairman is right. This game is anything but balanced. The difference between the skilled and the unskilled is vast. This guy can solo kill a Level 29 Qi Gong Master, his strength is no small feat. As he levels up, he will definitely grow stronger. It’s better to recruit him early, having an extra combatant is always an advantage, even if he doesn’t participate in team fights, it’s still better than having him in another guild."

"Afu understands me...

Now all the major guilds are engaging in dragon slaying. If we rely solely on numbers, many will die. We need some experts. He might just have that potential.

Speaking of which, how are the dragon slaying efforts of the other guilds going?"

"Azure Dragon Association has been contracting its territory since their last failed attempt at dragon slaying. They probably need some time to develop."

"The First Dynasty succeeded in slaying a dragon, killed a Level 72 Earth Dragon, and they’ve already produced a Dragon Flag, planning to establish a kingdom called Great Xia."

Long Xingtianxia scornfully said, "Relying on the First Dynasty’s people, they really aren’t choosy, killing even an earth dragon, not caring about the poor attributes of the Dragon Flag. Was that earth dragon a boss-level boss?"

"No, it wasn’t even a boss, just a rare elite in the wild."

Long Xingtianxia burst into laughter, "Hahaha, that’s the extent of their ambition."

After completing the dragon slaying and kingdom-building task, a guild can use the dragon soul to make a Dragon Flag, a symbol of the kingdom, which boosts the attributes of surrounding guild members. The enhancement effect of the Dragon Flag is linked to the dragon’s strength; the stronger the dragon, the more powerful the boost.

As a low-level dragon, an Earth Dragon naturally won’t offer much in terms of buffs.

And monsters are categorized into Little Monsters, Elite, Boss, Boss-level Bosses, and Divine-level Bosses...

This Earth Dragon was just an elite monster, only slightly stronger than a Little Monster. Given that dragons in this game naturally have a very high base level, becoming a boss is incredibly easy.

So, you can imagine how failure looks like for this Earth Dragon, probably only slightly stronger than a Jiao.

The buffs provided will obviously not amount to much.

Someone uneasily said, "But this strategy can indeed attract a lot of attention. Being the first to establish a kingdom will surely draw in many players."

Long Xingtianxia was unimpressed, "Then those players who join really don’t have much vision. If they join, let them join; we aren’t interested.

We aren’t in a rush. Let’s stick to the plan, enhancing the guild’s strength is our priority. Have the sub-branch leaders organize members to level up, take hold of waypoints, and if conditions allow, challenge lower-level dungeons to upgrade their equipment, safety first, of course.

Also, let our intelligence departmen conduct investigations in various states to see if there are any dragons lurking, preferably ones in open plains, which will allow our generals to group and fight more effectively. We definitely need to be clear about the dragon’s class, we can’t learn from Azure Dragon Association."
