Zhan Long

Morning of the next day, I worked until 11 am and then Clear Black Eyes called. She book a spot for lunch and invited Wan Er, Dong Cheng and I over. Although th meal felt like there was a purpose but we weren't afraid at all. We headed out before work ended. I paid a lot of attention to Clear Black Eyes's request to meet.

The India Region had too many players and if we didn't treat them well, they might be a stumbling block to our quest to conquer the seven kingdoms.

…

At 12, a restaurant in Hangzhou's business district.

After parking, I brought Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue in. Before we entered we saw a white business-dressed woman inside. It was Clear Black Eyes. I hadn't seen her in a long time and she seemed much more beautiful. But she looked more tired, it was obvious that the game was a burden for her too.

Behind her were four guys. One of them was familiar and it should be Ink Iron Boots. I didn't know the others but they should be core members of Beautiful Life.

After I enter, Clear Black Eyes reached out her hand and smiled, "Xiao Yao, long time no see!"

I reached out to shake her hand, "Right, the last time we met was before the second country war. So much time has passed and so many things have happened."

Clear Black Eyes smiled and after greeting Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue, she said, "Enter the suite, the dishes have been ordered. They should be here in a while."

Her Chinese standard seemed much better than before. She was a girl that loved to improve herself.

…

Within the room, eight people surrounded the table.

Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue were both dressed professionally today as they came from work. As they were from a fashion company, their dress was really nice. Along with their proud personalities, their charm couldn't be resisted at all.

But, the four who came with Clear Black Eyes didn't bother to look at them much. They were core members of Beautiful Life so they probably fought us many times. During the battles, some of them might have even been killed by Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue. Honestly, we were already enemies so why would they have the mood to admire their beauty.

The server served the drinks. It was sour plum juice, a cup for each person. Clear Black Eyes picked up a cup and smiled, "Following the habits of a Chinese, we shall use tea in place of wine. Congrats to Zhan Long for getting the Supreme Country Weapon… Shooting Yang Bow!"

Lin Wan Er coughed, "Clear Black Eyes, the translation is Sun Shooting Bow."

"Ah?" She opened her mouth slightly, "I translated from English and it should mean shooting the sun…"

Lin Wan Er giggled, "Actually, this Supreme Country Weapon belongs to a Chinese legend. We had such a bow so the translation should be Sun Shooting Bow."

Clear Black Eyes smiled, "Okay then, so be it."

I felt a little awkward. I held the sour plum juice and said, "Actually we stole this from the Indian region and I know it was a little evil but that is the game. Either you die or I do so we had no choice."

"Understood." Clear Black Eyes said, "I won't blame you for that, after all, we have our own views. Xiao Yao even if you killed me in Seven Shine Forest I won't blame you."

I laughed, "That's good,

thank you!"

We drank together but things were still a little awkward.

I continued, "You came here especially to Hangzhou so you have something to tell us right? Moreover, it should be regarding the game right?"

"Actually not only that, there are some real life things too." Clear Black Eyes smiled.

Lin Wan Er was stunned, "Real life?"

"Right, real life cooperation."

Clear Black Eyes licked her lips, "You all should know that I am the deputy CEO of a cross country company and the headquarters is in Shanghai so I am there a lot of the time. Our company has 8000+ workers in Shanghai so worker uniform design has always been a problem. I also heard about Wan Er Design's strength so I wanted to work together with you to design our uniform."

Lin Wan Er smiled, "No problem, when can we sign?"

Clear Black Eyes smiled, "Wan Er calm down, let's discuss everything and then talk about signing."

Dong Cheng Yue smiled, "Right, since it is a cooperation, we must give something in return!'

"Okay…"

I wanted to laugh and said, "What do you need us to do, as long as it doesn't hurt China and I can do it, I won't reject you."

Clear Black Eyes nodded and looked outside, "Our Indian region has 90 million players and 55 are often online. After the second country war they followed me from Ice and Fire Plains to Sea of No Return to Dark Moon Elves territory. For a long period of time, we can't even repair equipment. You can imagine the feeling of relying on Gold equipment to kill monsters and some even got killed because they wore weak equipment.

I looked at her in sympathy, "En…"

Her eyes were red and she continued, "I finally understand that the game is like a dream. Everything is just a passing cloud. I only want the Indian players to have a better time. I care about Seven Shine City, we just want to enjoy things there now."

I nodded, "What can we do for you?"

"Very simple." She looked at me, "For the third and fourth country wars, I promise that India won't join in. You can hit whoever you want but don't touch Seven Shine City, is that okay?"

"This…" Actually, that was quite good. Moving the Indian region aside and focusing on Iron Skull City and Swirling Abyss City. Then during the fourth one, we will wipe out the other city. Then the seven kingdoms would be under us. I nodded, "No problem but you must promise that when we are fighting, you mustn't sneak attack us or it is a violation."

Ink Iron Boots's expression was not nice and he said in firm Chinese, "So what, dealing with despicable people like you… What kind of alliance is there?"

Clear Black Eyes was furious and she slapped the table. She scolded him in Tamil and this strong guy was like a deflated balloon. It seemed like Clear Black Eyes's strength in India couldn't be challenged.

I smiled and held the bottom of the cup, "The Chinese use despicable tactics but we definitely follow contracts. Those who betray us will get killed. Ink Iron Boots you can be unhappy and annoyed with me but if you dare to break the contract, I will make you delete your account. You can try!"

"You!" Ink Iron Boots was furious. The few young men beside all stood up.

I was slightly angry. They invited us here so why were they filled with so much pride. Who made them so proud?

I stood up and raised an arm. Blazing Sun energy formed pressure to push them to the ground. They couldn't move at all and they started to sweat. I looked at their shocked faces, "Don't be arrogant to me, be it real life or in game, I don't need much energy to kill you. Better be more polite do you understand?"

Clear Black Eyes opened her eyes and looked at me in shock. She sensed something and understood the source of this power. She stamped, "Iron Boots, aren't you going to apologise?"

Ink Iron Boots's face was ashen white, "I… I…"

She scolded him again and only then did his face has some apologetic looks on it. He bowed and said, "Sorry Guild Leader Xiao Yao, my attitude was bad!"

I smiled and raised my hand, "No need, the Chinese have a saying that those who are nice to me, I will be nice back. If you are polite then I will treat you as friends."

Shocked appeared on Clear Black Eyes's face, "Xiao Yao, will you really treat us as friends?"

"Of course."

I smiled sincerely, "Players in game are all passionate and we have the same goals and targets. Just that we are on different sides. We can't play the game for our whole life but we can be friends for life. Apart from Destiny, we are friends right?"

Clear Black Eyes understood and she smiled widely, "Good, well said."

Ink Iron Boots seemed to look at me differently and he apologised, "I was rash, sorry."

"That is okay let's eat!"

"The food isn't here yet!"

"Waiter what is going on, why are you so slow!"

…

Thus we had a meal and sent the verbal agreement. It seemed like Clear Black Eyes decided not to join the third and fourth country wars. That was good, two wars should be enough for me to conquer the seven kingdoms!
