Chapter 39: The Ownership of the Gang-Building Order
Mu Lingxue sat on the couch deep in thought, while beside her, Chen Wei was watching the melodramatic TV show with a smile.
"I say, Weiwei, I'm worried sick and you still have the mood to laugh."
"Called and didn't answer, I don't even know what's going on now."
Seeing Mu Lingxue's worried expression, Chen Wei suggested,
"Why not play a game for a bit, it's recruitment time for major guilds, we can use our first-kill fame to recruit some newbies."
Chen Wei suddenly picked up her phone, which displayed a message. She glanced at the door behind her, then handed the phone to Mu Lingxue,
"Look, the funds are in place."
Mu Lingxue, who should have been happy, couldn't muster any excitement,
"Please handle this for me, Weiwei, I'm really not in the mood right now."
Seeing this, Chen Wei could only shake her head helplessly,
"Then you wait here, I'm going to log into the game to handle the guild setup."
"Thanks, Weiwei!"
Chen Wei affectionately tapped Mu Lingxue on the forehead,
"If you know I'm working hard, hurry and come help me."
Mu Lingxue covered the spot that had been tapped, grinning,
"I'll log in once Xinying gets back."
"I'm heading up then."
"Okay."
Shortly after Chen Wei left, Zhang Xinying returned with a cheerful smile, carrying a paper bag.
Seeing her, Mu Lingxue jumped three feet off the couch,
"Xinying, you're back!"
Mu Lingxue noticed what Zhang Xinying was holding, her eyes lighting up,
"Fish fin rice from Yuding!"
Without giving Zhang Xinying a chance to speak, she excitedly hugged her,
"You're the best, Xinying, it wasn't a waste worrying about you for so long!"
Just as Mu Lingxue was about to take the takeout bag, she noticed Zhang Xinying smiling awkwardly.
Mu Lingxue seemed to sense something,
"No way, Xinying, did you not buy this for me?"
Thinking about how she had just eaten, she didn't mind,
"Forget it, I'm on a diet, good thing it's not for me."
Seeing Mu Lingxue like this, Zhang Xinying felt a bit guilty,
"Sorry, Xiaoxue."
"It's okay, we're besties, right?"
"Really okay?"
Mu Lingxue pretended to be generous,
"Of course, do I, Mu Lingxue, seem that petty?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xinying said,
"Have you seen Lin, oh no, Yi Ling back yet?"
Silence!
"What do you mean?"
Mu Lingxue stared at her best friend in shock,
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Zhang Xinying shoved the takeout bag into Mu Lingxue's hands,
"Help me give this to him, thanks, hehe~"
"Bang!"
At that moment, Mu Lingxue felt something shatter in her chest.
.........
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as Lin Yi was about to start the game, there was a furious knocking at the door,
"Yi Ling, you bastard, come out."
Lin Yi was puzzled, who had she annoyed?
When Lin Yi opened the door, Mu Lingxue shoved a paper bag into his hands and stormed off, muttering,
"Such a friend-ditcher, hmph!"
"Uh, this~"
Looking at the warm fish fin rice in his arms, Lin Yi was stunned.
Lin Yi didn't think this was something Mu Lingxue had bought for him.
In this house, it seemed only one person would buy food for him.
Looking at the tightly closed door, she probably hadn't recognized his real identity, right?
"No way."
Lin Yi shook his head, both times he had his head covered, how could she possibly guess it was him?
And her buying this for him must have been to thank him for saving her.
Lin Yi smiled wryly, turned, closed the door, and opened the exquisite takeout box.
Instantly, a rich aroma wafted through the air.
"Grr~"
Only then did Lin Yi remember that from morning until now, at five o'clock, he hadn't eaten a thing.
Lightly laughing, he picked up the spoon beside him; this might have been the most delicious meal Lin Yi had eaten in many years (before his rebirth).
.........
Seated at the dressing table, within just half a day, the reflection in the mirror now showed a more captivating smile than it had half a day ago.
Zhang Xinying opened a drawer, taking out the makeup products she'd tossed in there, arranging them one by one, muttering to herself,
"Did you think covering your face would stop me from recognizing you? Dummy!"
Some things can be felt without sight, just by sensing your unique presence.
Even though he didn't know what exactly had happened to him, none of that mattered to Zhang Xinying.
As long as it was him, that was enough.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the smile on Zhang Xinying's face gradually faded,
"Lin Yi, I realize I still can't stay away from you."
.........
After enjoying a comforting meal, Lin Yi stretched his muscles a bit.
Looking at the empty wardrobe, he thought about how he should buy some daily necessities and change of clothes when he logged out that night,
When Lin Yi entered the game, he was still unaware of the frenzy the first kill caused on the gaming forums.
In short, there were two main points.
One was the introduction of the instance's mechanics, which was the key to Lin Yi's first kill, sparking heated discussion among many netizens.
Everyone thought Lin Yi achieved the first kill through skill alone, yet they couldn't imagine such a mechanic existed, allowing him to exploit this loophole.
The ones most outraged by this were, of course, the major guilds, who had been battling through the instance, while Lin Yi seemed to be 'touring mountains and rivers' and effortlessly snatched the first kill reward they so desperately desired.
This matter was set aside for later, as another hot topic arose about the final ownership of the guild establishment token.
Almost everyone speculated where Feng Hua's guild establishment token would end up.
And which guild would become the first to establish a guild base in "Glory of the Gods."
The highest expectations were, of course, for Shengshi Dynasty, followed by the ultra-cool Famous Clan and Xia Haitang's Ice and Snow Illusion City.
After all, the latter two were the ones who raided with Lin Yi and got the first kill, so it wasn't impossible for Lin Yi to sell the guild establishment token to them first.
Lin Yi had just logged on when his contact list was flooded with messages.
There weren't many people in Lin Yi's contact list,
and when Lin Yi checked it, the one with the most messages was from the ultra-cool Famous Clan.
Then there was Xia Haitang; although their messages were different, their focus remained the same:
The ownership of the guild establishment token!
Just then, an audio request from the ultra-cool Famous Clan came in.
After Lin Yi connected, he heard the ultra-cool Famous Clan excitedly say,
"Feng Bro, you finally logged on, I've been so anxious."
Lin Yi knowingly asked with a smile,
"What's the matter?"
The ultra-cool Famous Clan knew Lin Yi was teasing, given the number of messages sent.
So the ultra-cool Famous Clan got straight to the point,
"The guild establishment token, name your price."
But surprisingly to the ultra-cool Famous Clan, Lin Yi refused directly,
"I can't give you this guild establishment token."
The ultra-cool Famous Clan was a bit puzzled,
"Can I ask why?"
Adding,
"Whatever they offer you, I can top it until you're satisfied."
Lin Yi shook his head with a smile,
"It's not about the money."
Lin Yi took out the 'guild establishment token' made from special material from his backpack,
"Now this thing is a hot commodity for some, but for your Famous Clan, it's a hot potato, no need to spend money foolishly."
As he spoke, Lin Yi revealed a meaningful smile,
"Besides, I know someone who needs it more than you do."
Since the game's launch, the ultra-cool Famous Clan had developed significant trust in Feng Hua.
Since Lin Yi said so, the ultra-cool Famous Clan didn't insist,
"In that case, I'll go and change to a hidden profession first."
"Wait."
The ultra-cool Famous Clan:
"Is there something else?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment,
"I'd like you to do something for me."
Outside Cyan Dragon City, hearing Lin Yi's request energized the ultra-cool Famous Clan.
Getting a favor from Feng Hua was worth more than any guild establishment token, at least in the ultra-cool Famous Clan's view.
The ultra-cool Famous Clan didn't hesitate,
"Tell me, Feng Bro, what do you need me to do?"
After hearing Feng Hua's request, the ultra-cool Famous Clan pounded his chest,
"Don't worry, leave this to me."
After ending the communication, the ultra-cool Famous Clan found I won't cry, another member of the Famous Clan, in the contact list,
"Drop what you're doing and do something for me, you must go personally!"
......
Just after ending the call with the ultra-cool Famous Clan, Lin Yi opened the contact list and clicked on Proud Gaze Lord's avatar, which had a message:
Proud Gaze Lord
09/02/3019 13:41
Congratulations, brother, on your first kill in the instance!
Seeing this message surprised Lin Yi a bit.
The message didn't mention the 'guild establishment token.' Typically, people would think the other party didn't care about the token.
But was that really the case?
Lin Yi sent a voice request to the other party, which Proud Gaze Lord soon accepted,
"Congratulations, Feng Hua brother, I knew this first kill had to be yours."
This old fox!
Lin Yi cut straight to the point,
"One billion, and the guild establishment token is yours."
