Chapter 652: Chapter 42_2

Xiao Jie said: "That’s more like it. Don’t you also have a duel quest to fight that what, a renegade from the Painting Saint Temple? When the time comes, our Second Team will join forces, and we can beat anything that comes our way. Otherwise, we can’t just let you risk your life alone."

After reassuring Xia Yi the Unrivaled, Hao Mie couldn’t help but join in.

"Brother Sui Feng, I won’t bring up something inauspicious like quitting the guild, but for my Dragon Slayer task, you’ve got to help me out. The task item only indicates that Dragon Slayers exist in this world, but there are no clues on how to find one."

Xiao Jie said: "Don’t worry, there’s naturally no problem with that. Once you join our team, we’ll all help each other. With Dragon Soaring’s intelligence department gathering information and the analysis team working on task details, we guarantee to get it sorted before you reach level 40."

"Me too, me too, I’m still not sure about my Sword Demon task. Feng, you can’t forget about me," Jiu Jianxian also interjected.

Xiao Jie was somewhat speechless, as everyone was getting excited, but it was indeed necessary to get this done. After all, everyone followed him to benefit from sticking together; he couldn’t be the only one seeking help with his own quests while ignoring others.

"No worries, we’ll handle them one by one. To be honest, that Sword Demon task is quite risky. You’d better not rush to complete it because, with tasks with unclear rewards like this, I’ve encountered situations before that can become anomalies. It’s possible that the Sword Demon is using you, trying to get you to release him.

But as long as you have the team backing you up, even if the Sword Demon breaks free and becomes a BOSS, we can still take him down."

Hearing this, Jiu Jianxian immediately got excited: "Haha, I knew it was promising to follow Feng."

Xiao Jie glanced over everyone and thought to himself that he might as well not wait for everyone to bring it up.

"The rest of you, likewise, if you need any help, just speak up. From now on, we’re one team, and naturally, we should prioritize helping our own."

As for in-game family groups and the like, although everyone tends to scoff about it, who doesn’t want to enjoy the benefits of mixing with the right crowd.

"Feng, then I won’t hold back, I need your help with my Third-Transformation Giant Spirit too," I Want to Be Immortal also joined in on the fun.

"No problem, we’ll take care of everyone. Oh, and by the way, I also have a quest to do, so I’ll need everyone’s help when the time comes."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use watched as Xiao Jie soothed his teammates, feeling speechless.

"Vice-leader, what’s our next plan then?"

"We’re obviously going to recruit, every branch needs people, our Main Force Second Team also needs recruits in Xiaofeng City, and I’m leaving this task to you. Remember the arrangements I made before; gather the people first, and since we’re the Main Force Second Team, we obviously can’t just recruit anyone—we need at least those over Level 20, with priority given to those over Level 30. Fill up 40 slots first.

Having more people makes things easier."

Indeed, having more people does make things easier. Like with this dragon slaying operation, it’d be really tough with too few people; we simply wouldn’t have enough damage output. Even if a player is extremely skilled, without supportive teammates, there would be no play.

If we can recruit a whole team, it’ll make any task more convenient.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use immediately began recruiting people in the square, while Xiao Jie and others didn’t just stand by, they all helped to bolster the presence.

The momentum of nation-building was truly effective; there was an endless stream of applicants, not deterred even when they learned about the membership fee of one silver.

In just a short while, they recruited over thirty people, all above Level 20, with even several over Level 30 among them.

Seeing that the recruitment was almost done, Xiao Jie stepped forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dragon Soaring Knights. I am the Second Group Leader, Hidden Moon Following Wind. From now on, we are one family.

Our Second Team is just starting, and there’s a lot to iron out. I won’t say much, but as of now, there are only three rules for the team.

First, fairness and justice. The more effort you put in, the more benefits you get. Participating in activities earns points, and good performances earn rewards. If you don’t like participating, that’s fine, but obviously, you’ll miss out on bonuses.

Second, unity. Although everyone has just joined, I hope that you all will treat the Dragon Soaring Group 2 as your own family, work together, and strive to grow and become stronger.

Third, the capable will rise, and the incapable will fall. At present, aside from me as the group leader, and Hidden Dragon Do Not Use as the vice-leader, no other specific positions have been assigned, group leaders have not been appointed, and team positions are not yet fixed. In the upcoming activities, if you want to stand out or hold an office in the future, then you should actively show what you’re made of.

Let’s take the next couple of days to slowly integrate. Three days later, we will officially start on the national mission."

It wasn’t easy dealing with everything related to the Python King, and Xiao Jie let out a sigh of relief as the newly joined members dispersed one by one.

At this moment, he somewhat regretted becoming the leader of the Second Team; there were just too many things to handle.

Between managing personnel and organizing events, he was afraid there wouldn’t be any downtime in the near future.

As he was reflecting on this, An Ran approached him, "Xiao Jie, I need your help with something."

"Are you talking about a profession quest? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"It’s not a profession quest. I need your assistance to act as a protector while I experiment with my demon beast avatar’s abilities in the real world."

Xiao Jie immediately burst into laughter, "Haha, that’s quite the coincidence. I was actually looking for a protector myself, as I want to experiment with my Jiao Long’s avatar abilities. How about this: we meet up after logging off at Brother Tianwen’s place. If we want to try out our transformation skills, we’ll need him to set up a formation to conceal us first."

"Sure, that’s settled then." An Ran agreed readily.

This time, they weren’t dealing with ordinary beasts; Xiao Jie was going to transform into a Jiao Long, and such a creature could easily make a commotion even hidden on Huqiu Mountain. It would be quite bad if someone saw such a huge dragon.

The demon beast that An Ran intended to transform into was also quite a headache.

So, the best approach was indeed to ask Chen Tianwen to set up a formation.

"Alright, it’s a deal; see you later."

By the time Xiao Jie logged out of the game, it was already past five in the evening.

He glanced out the window, the evening sun was about to set, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

Xiao Jie took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is Brother Tianwen there? I need a favor."

"Haha, An Ran’s already told me about it. Sure, come to my place; I actually have some issues I want to discuss with you."

Half an hour later, Xiao Jie arrived at Chen Tianwen’s villa.

An Ran was already there, dressed in loose clothing that looked casual and relaxed.

Seeing An Ran’s casual outfit, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but recall the image of her wearing that sexy black silk evening dress that night.

Chen Tianwen welcomed Xiao Jie inside, poured some tea for the two of them, and while sipping tea and enjoying some snacks, he joked, "You guys at Dragon Soaring have made quite a big move. The whole gaming circle is buzzing about it. Hasn’t Captain Lin talked to you about it?"

"Nope." Xiao Jie answered, not at all surprised. Dragon Soaring had some official backing, albeit minor, but this battle was likely communicated with the Game Administration Bureau beforehand.

However, it was not hard to imagine that with so many players killed this time, the Game Administration Bureau must be overwhelmed.

"By the way, Brother Tianwen, what did you want to ask?" Xiao Jie cut to the chase, knowing that if he needed a favor, he needed to be forthright himself.

Chen Tianwen became serious, "What exactly is in the Immortal Treasure Vault? Can you talk about it?"

Chen Tianwen’s demeanor was entirely different.

"Of course, we’re brothers after all." Xiao Jie didn’t hold back and shared the contents of the Immortal Treasure Vault in detail.

Chen Tianwen listened intently. Upon hearing that someone from the Pantheon had made a move, he sneered, "That bunch loves to risk little for big wins and regard gamers as nothing. This time you’ve caused them a huge loss, haha, well done. It’s about time they had a taste of their own medicine."

"The Immortal Master."

"The Immortal Master, huh? That must be the Divine Calculation Sky Demon, that guy loves playing dirty tricks the most."
