With the help of Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, Ning Tiantian, and Ouyang Ling’er, Zhang Yue finally managed to clear his Sin value by eleven o’clock at night!
During this time, just from the experience gained by killing monsters, Zhang Yue’s level had already reached 36, at 85%.
He was getting closer and closer to level 38.
This was something to look forward to because Zhang Yue had a pair of level 38, 5-star quality Hell Boots in his bag, ready to be equipped!
In this stage where even 4-star equipment was relatively rare, waiting for Zhang Yue to reach level 38 and put on the Hell Boots, then use one-click refinement to upgrade them to gold, his strength would surely see a significant boost!
In addition, they had collected over 500 pieces of various 4-5 level materials, among which Zhang Yue needed 70 pieces of level 5 Magic Crystals.
To gather the 300 pieces of level 5 Magic Crystals required to craft the Death’s Eye, it seemed more effort was needed.
Late at night, after going offline, the five of them agreed to meet at a barbecue stall in Coastal City for a late-night snack.
It was then that they discovered Ouyang Ling’er lived not far from Zhang Yue and the others!
The guild members ate, drank, and chatted happily.
It was during this time that Zhang Yue finally got to know the guild members better.
“Hey, brother, you were willing to risk being fired from the guild rather than throw a match. To outsiders, that might seem a bit foolish,” Wu Haotian clinked glasses with Lin Tian and asked, “What were you thinking?”
Lin Tian downed half a bottle of wine in one go and, taking advantage of his drunkenness, finally revealed his feelings: “My dad was also a Professional. He died in a fixed match five years ago.”
Suddenly, everyone around the table fell silent.
No wonder he would rather not be the Guild Leader of the God of War Guild than participate in a fixed match!
At this moment, Lin Tian opened another bottle of wine and said to Wu Haotian, “Aren’t you even more foolish than me? The Vice President of the Infinity Guild is worth much more than the Vice President of the second guild!”
“Just this once, I was brave for love. How can that be called foolish?” Wu Haotian suddenly laughed heartily, “Luckily, I switched sides early. The Infinity Guild has been having a rough time lately. If I were still there, my head would probably be bashed in!”
Ouyang Ling’er, while eating skewers, didn’t forget to feed a skewer of grilled fish to the orange cat in her arms: “You guys are luckier than me. I have no background or status. I was abandoned by my parents as a child and have been stealing to survive.”
Ning Tiantian lowered her head in self-pity, “I’m the most useless one…”
“Don’t say that,” Wu Haotian said, “Anyone who can join the Temple of Destiny is a talent with potential.”
“Let’s not dwell on the past. From now on, let’s work together to build the number one guild in the Dragon Kingdom!”
“The number one in the world,” Zhang Yue added.
Such words from anyone else would sound like bragging.
But for some reason, when Zhang Yue said it, the four people present felt a sense of awe!
The next morning, Zhang Yue contacted an agent to help him look for large studios for rent or sale.
With the finances gradually stabilizing, it was time to settle the guild’s base.
Coincidentally, the agent said there was a suitable one available now, so Zhang Yue arranged to go and see it.
On the other side.
After breakfast, Ouyang Ling’er logged in and asked in the guild chat, “Hey everyone, what’s the plan for today?”
Zhang Yue: “You guys go to the Man-eating Bug Kingdom and continue farming materials. I have something to take care of and will join you later.”
Lin Tian: “Got it.”
Wu Haotian: “+1!”
Ning Tiantian: “+2!”
Ouyang Ling’er: “+!”
The Fifth World, Dawn Sanctuary.
Ouyang Ling’er stretched and said confidently, “Another energetic day! Go, Ouyang Ling’er, let’s try to steal… I mean, farm more materials today and create more profit for the guild!”
As she was speaking, Ning Tiantian also logged in, and the two of them headed to the Man-eating Bug Kingdom together.
On the way, Ouyang Ling’er asked Ning Tiantian, “How long have you been in the Temple of Destiny?”
“Just a few days,” Ning Tiantian replied.
“Is your monthly salary also 50,000?” Ouyang Ling’er asked.
Ning Tiantian nodded, “Yes.”
“Have you talked to the Guild Leader about a raise?”
“Why would I ask for a raise?” Ning Tiantian was puzzled. She thought Zhang Yue’s salary offer was already high.
Moreover, even Lin Tian and Wu Haotian had the same salary as her, so what right did she have to ask for a raise?
“Because you’re a Holy Light Priest!” Ouyang Ling’er looked at the confused Ning Tiantian and suddenly understood, thinking, “I get it. She doesn’t know her own worth yet!”
“Who would have thought this new guild would have so many hidden talents!”
Gradually, their conversation shifted to topics that girls were most interested in, like cosmetics, bags, and dresses.
They got along well, chatting and laughing all the way.
Until a group of people suddenly appeared ahead, blocking their path!
Ning Tiantian didn’t recognize them, but Ouyang Ling’er’s face darkened when she saw them. She lowered her head and tried to pull Ning Tiantian away, pretending not to see them.
But it was clear that the group was there for Ouyang Ling’er!
A group of dozens of people, led by a burly level 32 Knight named “Overlord’s Aura,” blocked Ouyang Ling’er with a spear in hand, saying, “Running away? Feeling guilty?”
As he spoke, Overlord’s Aura’s teammates surrounded Ouyang Ling’er and Ning Tiantian.
Ouyang Ling’er, like a big sister, shielded Ning Tiantian and frowned at the group of Professionals with “Overlord” as a prefix in their IDs, “What do you want?”
“What do you think?” The burly Knight Overlord’s Aura pointed at Ouyang Ling’er and said with a resentful look, “You were the one who stole my stuff a few days ago, weren’t you?”
“You dare to steal from the Overlord Guild?”
Ouyang Ling’er retorted, “You’ve got the wrong person. It wasn’t me!”
“I’d recognize you even if you turned to ashes!” The burly Knight Overlord’s Aura glared at Ouyang Ling’er fiercely, his angry shout startling the two girls.
Seeing that she couldn’t bluff her way out, Ouyang Ling’er said, “You were bullying the weak back then. I returned the stolen items to their rightful owners!”
Overlord’s Aura cursed, “Who needs a bitch like you meddling?”
“So what do you want?”
“Steal one, pay ten. Compensate ten times the value, or…” Overlord’s Aura looked lasciviously at Ning Tiantian behind Ouyang Ling’er and said with a smile, “Let your friend be my girlfriend, and we’ll call it even. How about that?”
Ning Tiantian was terrified.
Ouyang Ling’er pointed at Overlord’s Aura’s nose and shouted, “Do you know who we are? If you dare touch us, our Guild Leader will make you pay!”
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Ling’er’s words caused the surrounding Overlord Guild members to burst into laughter.
“Oh, whose subordinate is this, so brave?”
“Wow! Your Guild Leader is so powerful, I’m so scared~”
Overlord’s Aura said, “If you can’t pay, there’s another way.”
“Then pay with your life!”
As he spoke, Overlord’s Aura raised his spear and approached Ouyang Ling’er.
Ouyang Ling’er pushed Ning Tiantian aside, “This has nothing to do with you, run!”
With her Elite Grade Rogue skills, Ouyang Ling’er fought back fiercely.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
In a flurry of quick strikes, she managed to kill two of them!
But ultimately, she was outnumbered, and Ouyang Ling’er was quickly subdued by the dozens of opponents.
“Didn’t expect you to have some skills!”
“But this is the end for you.”
As he spoke, Overlord’s Aura raised his spear to stab Ouyang Ling’er.
Just as Ouyang Ling’er, held at sword point by two Overlord Guild Warriors, closed her eyes and prepared for death.
Suddenly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A rain of arrows fell from the sky, turning the two Warriors and Overlord’s Aura into porcupines on the spot!
“Who the hell dares to ambush me!” Overlord’s Aura turned around angrily, only to see a group of twelve Professionals walking towards them.
The leader, dressed in silver-white chainmail, wearing a silver crown, with delicate features and an extraordinary aura, exuded the demeanor of a young master. His ID was hidden, so his identity was unknown!
Overlord’s Aura glared at the silver-armored Archer, seething with rage, “You looking for death?”
In contrast, the silver-armored Archer remained calm, smiling faintly at Overlord’s Aura, “If you don’t want to die, I suggest you leave my sight within three seconds.”
