Honestly speaking, Mister X gave a decent impression.
Not mentioning the promise to Mu Wu before, just with the conflict a few days ago, it was impossible for Feng Luo to join the September Guild.
Although he was not someone of the Nightless Club in the game, he was the well-known vice manager of the Nightless Club in reality.
The conflict that time had decided that it was hard to come to peace between the Nightless Club and the September Guild.
Speaking of which, due to him being continuously busy, Feng Luo had not yet known how the situation at the Lu Conglomerate was now.
The two parties were considered to be tit-for-tat, each killing a few people from the other side, overall even.
In actuality, the people of the September Guild first wanted to snatch the ruins exploration right from Mu Zi and his team, then slayed an entire 10 player team.
In counterattack, there were only three September Guild people among those whom Feng Luo and the others killed, and even that culprit who was the son of the September Guild’s shareholder was not among which.
Calculating this way, the Nightless Club was sure to have losses.
However, such a large guild as the September Guild normally would be very arrogant; to them, such a small-scale guild such as the Nightless Club would not be taken seriously at all.
The second time being massacred by the others after entering with the Lu Conglomerate, it was definitely humiliating.
Due to being in collaboration once more with the Lu Conglomerate headquarters, it was coincidental that they were also not getting along with the Nightless Club which originally should have been one of their own...with all sorts of factors added together, Feng Luo felt that Mu Wu would probably be stressed out at the moment. But Mu Wu had not said anything to him.
“This person always likes to manage ‘political’ matters by himself.” Feng Luo thought distressfully.
......
“I’m sorry Mister X, I personally am not used to mixing with guilds either, so apologies.” Just when Feng Luo was slightly distracted from thinking of Nightless Club’s situation, Big Pineapple had also finally showed himself, swiftly following Feng Luo in rejecting the offer.
The money-faced Big Pineapple was actually resisting the alluring temptation of the pay of ten million upon joining the September Guild had made Feng Luo give him a strange look.
“Since Leader isn’t joining, then I as a member can only bear the pain of rejecting. After all, I’d really have to rely on Leader in the mission...apologies, Mister X, hope you’d be able to find suitable people as soon as possible...” Phoenix, who was initially expressing interest, had actually rejected in the end, especially when she had used her words to take Feng Luo as a shield.
At Feng Luo’s resulting stare, Phoenix blinked her eye and threw back a charming gaze.
“Actually, I’ve guessed it long ago. With everyone’s ability, if you all wanted to join a guild, I’m afraid you all would’ve already secured places on the star player ranking. I still wanted to try.” Regarding such a rejection from Feng Luo, as Mister X had guessed it long ago, so his expression did not change much.
He just shook his head and spoke with a slightly self-mocking tone.
“My promise before is still effective, the September Guild’s main doors will always be open for you all here, no matter when, it will be welcoming the few of you to join.” His face regained a smile as he stood up and was finally prepared to leave.
For someone who was able to be the backstage boss of a first-class guild, he really had a presence.
About the feeling he gave, Mister X was clearly more all-rounded than Roaring Dragon Lightwind who was the only large guild higher-ups whom Feng Luo had come in contact with before – others could not develop a repulse towards him.
......
“Honestly speaking, joining a guild would be a bit annoying, especially to be a star player. Don’t look at how well-said Mister X was, how there’d be all sorts of benefits after joining a guild, and having super high freedom, completely not disrupting our movement. How would it be that easy, not mentioning anything else, one is partial from others whom present had been received. Once we join a large guild, if we only take the money and don’t contribute for a long period of time, all sorts of private discussions from those members would be enough to stress us out.” The impression Big Pineapple gave was always loud, but his mind was actually crystal clear – what he said after Mister X had left was pretty accurate in insight.
“I say, why don’t the few of us build a guild ourselves; the guild responsibilities would be very simple, everyone does it. The guild’s initial deposit of 1,000,000 credits will be just peas to everyone. When it is established, with Onishi’s fame and hyping up, and Old Feng’s awakened Force and pet, there would definitely be huge numbers of guilds registering to join, till then...” But after which, his face of delight gradually diminished.
“Guilds are not so easily made, the key is not in how it’s built, but how to develop the guild after it’s built. All sorts of activity groups, allocation of benefits, expanding the layout...just these are enough to make a group of people lack the time to do other things. A bunch of combat players like us, who’d spend time doing all these?” Phoenix rolled her eyes straight at him, swiftly dashing his hopes.
“Uh, then we shall build a small guild of tens of people, everyone invite some experts, go the Elite route...” Big Pineapple shook his head, thinking of another idea.
“If it’s just a small guild of a few people, we wouldn’t be able to team up to fight Bosses, then what’s the difference from not building a guild?” Phoenix shot Big Pineapple down, and he could only bitterly give up in the end.
“Right, Old Feng? How’s the progress of that Legendary Hidden Mission, has Lin said anything about little Sally’s situation?” But after which, Big Pineapple turned his attention to the William’s Request mission, turning back to ask Feng Luo.
Big Pineapple and Lin knew each other, as at the start, he and Feng Luo had known each other from protecting Lin to do a mission.
“Don’t worry, she’s in good hands. But looking at the situation, to completely heal a person would require a certain period of time, the system probably needs to arrange according to the plot development. I personally feel that the Legendary-Grade mission shouldn’t be so relaxing, perhaps there’s something else that needs to be done. Anyway, it’s best that now, don’t leave too far away from Storm City when you and Phoenix do missions, then the three of us take turns to stay and guard, at least ensure that there’s one person in Storm City, in case of sudden situations that would be better to deal with.” Feng Luo thought and said.
If William’s Request was just a Normal-Grade mission, they would definitely just send little Sally to Lin’s place and there would be nothing much on them. But since this mission was Legendary-Grade, Feng Luo had an instinct that perhaps there would still be the possibility of something else cropping up.
Of course, the system should technically have prompts when the plot progresses, and after all, they had their own things to do – it was impossible for the three of them to keep guarding at Lin’s place. Hence they could only split and arrange not to go too far.
“Mm, I have nothing much coming up either, just need to wait till this Agent mission is completed and exchange for the Force Chip, then I’d prepare for huge plan of Force awakening.” Big Pineapple chuckled and nodded.
“But since it’s a Legendary Hidden Mission, I’m really anticipating the rewards at the end.”
