Chapter 237: Chapter 74 The Mystery of the Pagoda_2

"Haha, why so formal? Big bro asked me to add you to the guild, so let’s hurry up."

System Alert: Longteng Sihai invites you to join the guild [Dragon Soaring Knights]. Would you like to join? Yes/No.

Xiao Jie decisively chose to join.

System Alert: You have joined a guild. You can view related information in the guild system.

"Here are your guild joining benefits."

Longteng Sihai spoke, immediately opened a trade, and traded a horse whistle to Xiao Jie.

[Red Charge Warhorse Whistle (Mount)

Use: Summon a Red Charge Warhorse.

Item Introduction: A special whistle that can summon the corresponding mount to your side. This red warhorse is specially bred by the Gale Knights of Fengyin State. It’s not only incredibly fast but also possesses a Charge Skill, allowing it to accelerate suddenly during a sprint, making it an excellent warhorse for charging into battle.]

"Eh, this isn’t quite like the black warhorse I bought for 10 silver coins before."

Longteng Sihai proudly said, "Of course, ordinary warhorses are decent but typically plain, the most basic of warhorses. This Red Charge Warhorse, however, requires revered reputation in Fengyin State to purchase. Although its defensive power is slightly lacking, it possesses a Charge Skill, which is very useful whether you’re escaping or chasing enemies at critical moments."

"This is something only insiders in our guild can get, and big bro valued you enough to personally give you one."

"Well, thanks a lot, and please thank the guild leader for me as well. By the way, do ordinary members also get benefits?"

"Of course, mounts are a benefit everyone in our guild gets, but for new members, you only get an inferior horse. Big bro says that this can greatly increase a newcomer’s survival rate, which is much more practical than giving out equipment. So, as long as you join, you can get a mount."

Xiao Jie found this very reasonable; having a horse in the early stages of the game could indeed significantly enhance safety.

"Additionally, our guild offers another benefit, interest-free loans. After all, many newcomers don’t have much Silver. Ordinary outer circle members have a limit of 30 taels, while Guest Elders get 100 taels. Brother, would you like a loan?"

Xiao Jie thought this was great, especially since it was interest-free, which basically made it a losing deal.

After all, debts are cleared upon death, and with a high player mortality rate, there was definitely a chance of the loans not being repaid. The Dragon Soaring Knights truly spared no expense in winning over and retaining new members.

Tens of taels of silver meant hundreds of thousands. If they recruited a few hundred people, it was probably an investment of hundreds of millions.

It seemed that only wealthy players could manage large guilds in this game.

Definitely not something third-rate guilds like the one led by Xiong Ba could compare to.

"I’ll pass on the loan for now."

"Suit yourself. Oh, by the way, jot down these two group numbers. Join them later. One is the Dragon Soaring Knights’ main group, we post announcements for any large guild activities there."

The other is the Luoyang Town subgroup. Our guild has separate small groups for each town, so if you go to different places for leveling, you might want to join in advance. You can find local map and monster information in the group’s shared files."

Xiao Jie quickly noted down the group numbers; this would definitely make things more convenient.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m off. From now on, we’re guildmates."

"Haha, yes, take care. I’m also heading to Luoyang Town now."

Watching Longteng Sihai leave, Xiao Jie was quite satisfied with the benefits of joining the guild. Just the horse alone was incredibly valuable; otherwise, he might have had to settle for just a travel horse at first.

It had to be said, the Dragon Soaring Knights really took good care of new players. Joining this guild was indeed worthwhile.

Xiao Jie then joined the Dragon Soaring Knights’ QQ main group and took a look at the number of people. He was shocked.

There were actually over three hundred members, with more than twenty Guest Elders, and that was just the outer circle members.

The total number of people in the guild must be around five or six hundred. No wonder they harbored ambitions of dominating the game world.

Then, Xiao Jie joined the Luoyang Town sub-group, which had much fewer people, only about fifty.

After joining the group, Xiao Jie rode his horse towards Luoyang Town.

Embracing his journey once more, Xiao Jie felt completely different compared to when he initially left Luoyang Town. Back then, venturing into the wilderness was terrifying; he was extremely cautious, fearing encounters with dangerous monsters.

Now, after running around near Xiaofeng City, his mindset had become much more relaxed, especially after mastering the Illusion Destruction Divine Sword. As the saying goes, ’a skilled craftsman has the courage,’ and at least on the Luoyang Plain, a mid-to-early stage map, Xiao Jie felt he could stride boldly across it.

At this moment, galloping on the road, he felt like he was wielding a sword on horseback, traversing the worldly society.

After running for about ten minutes and seeing the familiar landscape, he realized he had reached the forest where he was once chased by the Wolf Spirit Colonel and encountered the Cannibal Monk.

A thought suddenly struck him—should he go and take down that Cannibal Monk?

Since his goal was leveling and collecting Equipment, after all, the monk was a rare Elite and might drop something valuable.

Acting on his thoughts, he charged into the forest on his horse, quickly spotted the spire of the Buddha Tower, and sprinted all the way to the open space outside the tower, but ended up finding nothing.

Huh, where is everyone?

Xiao Jie looked at the empty wasteland in front of the Buddha Tower puzzled, the Cannibal Monk was nowhere to be seen, and neither were the starving monks. Only the big pot remained, but it had dried up, looking like it hadn’t been used in days.
