Fatal Shot

“Join your guild?”

Hearing this, Feng Luo and the few of them swiftly exchanged glances.

They then understood why this Mister X wanted to meet personally for this transaction which obviously could have been done in long distance.

So actually, he had such an intention.

“I have a friend in the Rotating Dragon Mercenary Group, who has a deeper understanding of what happened yesterday at Silvermoon City.” Mister X smiled slightly as his words revealed the reason why he invited them.

Clearly, Mister X had already understood Onishi’s appearance at Silvermoon City yesterday, and that Feng Luo and the others were in it together with Onishi; and he even possibly understood the general abilities they have from someone, hence what he just said.

Of course, whether or not he really had heard this news from a friend in the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, was not too significant.

…

“Excuse me, Mister X, I’ve always preferred going around solo. I’m uninterested in joining the guild at the moment.” When the other three people had not spoken, Onishi shook his head, rejecting the offer without a second thought.

This wasn’t strange – as North City’s number one expert, Onishi would receive countless invites to join guilds everyday. And since he had not joined any guild up till now, it was clearly because he had no intention to.

“I’m not really interested either.” Feng Luo shook his head with a smile as well.

When saying this, he recalled what Mu Wu had said not long before.

Mu Wu had said that if he had brought the people of the organisation out of the Lu Conglomerate then build his own guild, would Feng Luo be willing to join and be the guild’s cover star player?

Feng Luo’s answer was that he would see when the time comes.

Thinking of it now, at that time towards this suggestion, he actually had a bit of an inclination.

Although playing single mode in the game felt not bad, occasionally taking part in team battles with a guild was enjoyable as well – it should be a different experience.

However, even if he wanted to join a guild, he definitely had to adhere to what he had said to Mu Wu. Thus with Mister X, he certainly had to reject.

“I have a bit of interest, but Mister X, you’ve so sincerely invited us but you didn’t even completely reveal your name. Isn’t this…a little lacking in sincerity?” In contrast to the straight rejection from the first two, the expressions of Big Pineapple and Phoenix were completely different.

Big Pineapple’s face was full of delight and enthusiasm. But when looking closely, one would discover that his eyes were blank; he had probably opened the system screen and was looking at the credit amount full of zeros which had just been credited into the account.

Phoenix blinked her charming red eye shadowed eyes and spoke to Mister X, staring at him.

“Miss Phoenix, you’ve accused me, my ID is really just ‘X’. But this ID does sounds pretentious. It’s just that I have a naming crisis, and I feel that it’s at least better than a ‘Celestial Star’ ID.” Mister X was facing this “red spider lily” that was Phoenix, he was clearly still a little affected as he explained with a sheepish smile.

However, his words had revealed a piece of information.

“This is a newly-made nickname of his, his ID previously before ‘reincarnation’ was: Celestial Star.”

“Celestial Star?”

Hearing the ID, Feng Luo and Phoenix did not have much reaction. It was Big Pineapple, the fellow who had just wiped off his saliva and regained his senses after staring at the credits in the account, was stunned this time. After which he instantly probed Mister X.

“The vice president cum co-founder of Nine Star Group, Director Celestial Star?”

Clearly, this ID of Celestial Star should have been more famous. At least to Big Pineapple who was a Storm City player.

“Nine Star Group, I think I’ve heard this name somewhere before?” Phoenix raised her willow leaf-like eyebrows and touched her chin.

“The Nine Star Group, also known as Nine Star Guild, is one of the top 10 guilds of Storm City; the overall number of members including the guilds of other cities exceeds 5 million, the core members make up a million. Accurately speaking, it should currently be at number one in Storm City on the overall ability ranking. It’s also publicly-known as one of the top 10 guilds in the entirety of War.” In the Agent channel, Digital Cat’s voice quickly sounded.

After Mister X had entered, Feng Luo had switched on the communication with Digital Cat for the convenience for her to express her opinions.

After all, the chip was received by the five people – it was best for all of them to be clear when selling it.

However, Digital Cat did not take the transaction too much to heart, and only replied in agreement with the last price just now. Rather, she had now said a lot in a short while.

“So the game’s top 10 guilds are really a big thing.” Hearing the words, Phoenix’s eyes lit up.

The top 10 guilds in all of War could be said to be important in proportion; it could be said that they should be known as super guilds.

There were over 30 main cities in War, which meant that there were at least a few hundred of so-called regional “top 10 guilds.” But for the top 10 guilds in the entire game, even if those guilds had rushed in or fallen out after movement was counted, the overall quantity still would not exceed 20.

Behind such guilds, there was definitely the support of global super large-scale financial groups – their personal ability was far from being able to match up with the kind of small guilds with not more than 100,000 people like the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group.

Mister X was the vice president of the Nine Star Guild, furthermore the co-founder. He had personally invited them – making the significance quite high.

“Mister X, I’m not sure what treatment we’d get after joining the Nine Star Guild?” With Phoenix’s ability, there was no difficulty in personally joining an elite team of any super guild in the game. What she wanted to know was: if they joined the Nine Star Guild, what promises would Mister X be able to grant?

In these words, she also deliberately used “we,” this referencing word, as she looked towards Mister X, with a smile.

“Naturally the highest level of treatment, everyone that joins our guild enjoys the highest star player status treatment, and collects 10 million credits each month as basic treatment…inclination of all the guild’s resources, you can also earn additional funding by joining some activities… I’ll hereby say that our guild is preparing to form elite teams to go deep into the Withered Desert plains to farm for Legendary equipment, and the star status players will be given priority to split all the produced Legendary equipment.” Mister X smiled, full of allure in his words.

But his following words were even more unexpected.

“I would like to clarify one point, it’s not the Nine Star Guild that I would like to invite everyone to join, but the September Guild.”

This statement probably made everyone suspect whether they had heard wrong.

How did “Nine Star” become “September”– could the two be a main guild and a sub-guild?

In the game, due to the restriction of the Federal laws, each guild (company, organization, group…) could not exceed a million in the upper limit for the number of people.

However, players naturally were able to find a counter, which was through controlling in real life build “sub-guilds” which had no subordinates in the game but were actually of the same organization.

Nine Star and September clearly sounded like there was some relation.

“The September Guild?” Speaking of the September Guild, Feng Luo knew about it.

Because of the “September Night Rain” who had been stripped of everything by him in the previous Agent mission was the cover star player of the “September Guild,” the fourth on the Storm City’s top 10 expert ranking before.
