Among those present, Fei Tian Tong and Forever were influential figures among the players. The players looked down on the people in the gaming studios. Unparalleled Wonder was the boss of the gaming studio, and Five Nights was the director of the gaming studio. He had a high status in the gaming studio, but in the eyes of the big players, he was just a small fry.
Wu Ye, who had been ignored, could only go and introduce himself to the Undying Beggar. He stood silently behind Matchless Genius. Unexpectedly, Unparalleled Wonder turned his head and said to him, "Go get some wine." Chief Supervisor Wu Ye was immediately demoted to the role of a servant.
Five Nights, who had just been demoted, went to get some wine. Unparalleled Wonder and Fei Tian Tong drank and chatted happily. The four followers stood behind their boss and stared at each other. Forever and Five Nights were mentally prepared. They knew what kind of characters they would become, but Fei Tian Tong's two followers were not. They were all players. Even if one was a guild leader and the other was a commoner, there was no such thing as hierarchy. This kind of situation where one drank while the other stood would never happen. But now that the other party was putting on airs, they could only use this method to maintain the situation. The two brothers were no less depressed than Five Nights.
Fortunately, Unparalleled Wonder was a mature businessman. After drinking with Fei Tian Tong, he greeted the two of them personally. "Why are you two standing? Have a seat. What's your name?"
The two players saw that their boss greeted them, and their vanity was satisfied. They didn't stand on ceremony and sat down after giving their names. Forever and Forever didn't have any information on them. Unparalleled Wonder greeted them and said to the three, "Make yourselves at home. I have guests coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person came in. This time, he was alone. Unparalleled Wonder and Forever had received the message from Yang Ying. Since there were guests in the room, Yang Ying couldn't poke his head in and greet them directly.
"Safety first. Forever? " This person took the initiative to introduce himself. He then asked Yongyuan that they were all invited by Yongyuan.
"I'm Forever." Forever hurried forward and introduced Unparalleled Wonder to him. He gave him Unparalleled Wonder's information. "Safety first in Blossom City. He's the leader of a level five mercenary group. He's very popular in Blossom City. He's ranked sixth on the Thieves Leaderboard. He's a powerful character."
"Hello, hello." Safety first, he took the initiative to greet Matchless Hero. He seemed very easygoing, unlike Fei Tiantong who always put on airs. Unrivalled Genius also casually exchanged a few pleasantries, then led him to his seat and served him wine, just like how he treated Fei Tian Tong.
At this time, there were still a few minutes before the appointed time. The two groups of people had arrived early. After that, people arrived one after another. Some came alone like Safety First, while others brought two or three brothers like Fei Tiantong. There were even two who brought a woman. They came in lovey-dovey, but in the end, they were stared at by everyone in the room and hurriedly restrained themselves. Unrivalled Wonder treated everyone with the same attitude. Five Nights continued to pour tea and wine for everyone. His depression quickly escalated.
Finally, all the players on Matchless Wonder Forever's list of thirty-one players had arrived. These people could be said to be influential figures in the main cities, but when they were introduced, they did not cause any commotion. After all, these thirty-one people came from different main cities. Although they were famous in their respective territories, they were not as famous as Qianli's Drunk.
Unrivalled Genius was satisfied to see all thirty-one people with different identities present. He once again raised his spirits and officially walked to the front desk.
As for the purpose of their visit, most of the people present had already heard from Eternal. This gathering today was mostly a formality and a form of etiquette. Apart from that, he also wanted these thirty-one people to get to know each other. Everyone was going to Cloud City for the same mission. If they didn't know each other after fighting, it would be a joke if there was a conflict.
At this time, Unrivalled Genius was at the front desk. He first gave a righteous speech. Needless to say, Ying Qi was placed in the position of the victim, and the most overpowered one was the arrogant and despotic bully. Ying Qi was bullied, but they were pitiful merchants. Even though they had invited the famous Eagle Group, they still couldn't stop the bullying of these bandits. Thus, the leader of the Eagle Group was chosen from the entire gaming world and found the thirty-one heroes sitting here. You guys are the game's guardians, the task of eradicating bullies and exterminating pests can only be entrusted to you. I hope that you guys can act on behalf of the heavens and uphold justice.
Unrivalled Genius said a bunch of things in a daze. Half of the people below were starting to doze off. Unrivalled Genius quickly took out something that could wake them up: rewards. The half of the people who were dozing off immediately woke up. This was their purpose for coming here, to uphold justice or whatever. Who was the justice between the two sides was a complete mess. Everyone present was not a child. Just listening to a few words, they would really think that they could maintain world peace.
"Boss Gai." At this time, one of the thirty-one people finally spoke, "There's no need to say too much. Just tell us, how much do we need to do!"
"Exterminate, very OP!!" Unrivalled Genius said.
"Boss Gai, this is an MMORPG. There's no such thing as absolute extermination in the game." Another person said, using the "Boss Gai" name that the previous person had invented.
"Everyone, don't worry and kill boldly. Today, I've brought a few things. It's just a small greeting gift for everyone. I'm a businessman who runs a studio, and I'm particular about money and goods. The final reward that I'll give everyone won't be a fixed amount. It will be proportional to what you've given. I'm sure everyone understands what I'm saying! "
"Five Nights, bring the things over to the bosses." Unrivalled Genius called out. Five Nights walked up and gave each of the thirty-one people two money bags. Seeing the color of the money bags, everyone's expression changed. This was a Ten Thousand Gold Bag. It could hold up to ten thousand gold.
To Gu Fei and the others, 20,000 Gold Coins might not be a significant amount, but to an ordinary player, it was an astronomical sum that very few could afford. Gu Fei and the others always made hundreds of thousands or even millions. That was accumulated over time. Normal players didn't have this kind of opportunity to make money. Twenty thousand gold. Even though everyone here was an important figure, this number was enough to shock them. Moreover, the other party gave each of the thirty-one people twenty thousand, which was a total of six hundred and twenty thousand gold. Six hundred and twenty thousand gold. These important figures had never heard of such an amount of gold before. Moreover, the currency system had just been updated, and gold was in short supply.
"In the final reward, the things that everyone wants will be included." Unrivalled Genius struck while the iron was hot and promised.
"Okay!" Among the 31 players, one of them was the first to nod his head and put the two bags of gold coins on the table into his pocket. Following that, the rest of the players followed suit. Unrivalled Genius smiled when he saw the hesitant expressions of the remaining players. "It seems like some of you are still worried. Do we need to sign an official contract? It's not impossible, but I think it's a little unnecessary, because I believe in everyone here. "
Unrivalled Genius's words were a reminder to the players. They were worried that Ying Qi wouldn't fulfill his promise, but on the other hand, wouldn't they just leave after taking the money? They were all trustworthy people, but so was Ying Qi. As the leader of the industry, not fulfilling his promise to the players would be destroying his own reputation.
Once they realized this, none of the thirty-one people hesitated anymore. Everyone put away the money bags without hesitation.
"Thank you, everyone." Unrivalled Genius said, "Now, let's have Forever, the leader of the Eagle Group, introduce Very Overpowered to everyone. Let's have a better understanding of our opponent's strength."
"Very Overpowered? It seems to be a newly formed guild, right? What level is it? "someone among the thirty-one people asked. A guild's level was a good indicator of a guild's strength.
"Level 4." Forever stood up and answered the question.
"Pfft!!" Someone burst out in disbelief. "Only level 4?" After the end of the City War, the majority of the players only knew of this guild's name. They only knew that they were the defending side that won the City War. As for the exact structure of this guild, only the most gossipy people would know about it. None of the big shots present had the leisure to do so. That guild in a foreign land had nothing to do with them.
"Not bad, level 4." Forever nodded.
"What's their average level?" someone asked.
"This … is still unknown." Forever said.
"Then what do you know?"
"Very Overpowered's current numbers, according to our estimates, should be around 200 …"
"Only 200 people?" Before Everlasting could finish his sentence, he was interrupted. His eyes were wide open.
"More than two hundred." Forever was already prepared for these people to make a fuss over nothing.
The thirty-one people looked at each other in dismay. Every one of them had a powerful background and strength. To any one of them, a team of 200 or so players wasn't enough. However, to deal with these 200 or so players, the other side had actually sent 30 or so of them. Even if the other side had won the siege war by defending the city, they must've seized an opportunity. There was no way they could've defeated hundreds of thousands of players in a head-on battle.
"Just tell me what's so scary about this Very Overpowered!" Someone asked. After all, they didn't think that England's boss was an idiot. To gather so many of them, Very Overpowered definitely had something up its sleeves.
"Qianli Drunk." Forever said.
"Oh, I've heard of him."
"That Melee Mage?"
"PVP Madman."
"An idiot who only knows about Bounty Quests."
"His equipment isn't bad."
"Luckily his equipment is good. Otherwise, he'd be trash if he put all his points into Agility."
"Does he really need so many of us to deal with him?"
"Achoo!" Gu Fei, who was in Cloud City, couldn't help but sneeze.
