Chapter 24: Trouble Knocking On the Door?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
No guild wanted Lin Bai?

In his friend list, Shangguan Mengchen was asking him which guild he wanted to join.

Shangguan Mengchen (friend) in the friend channel: [Lin Bai, which guild are you going to?]

[Friend Channel] Jin Meng (friend): Xiao Bai, come with us to the Violet Cloud, okay?

[Another channel] Zhang Qianyun (friend): Why don’t you create your own guild, and we’ll just join you!

Build his own guild? This didn’t need to be considered.

Lin Bai didn’t want to join any guilds for the time being, but he didn’t want to create his own guild either. On one hand, he didn’t want to manage a guild, and on the other hand, he couldn’t be bothered to think about things like guild wars. He might as well join an official guild. That way, it would be much more convenient for him to dungeon or participate in guild wars in the future.

It was necessary to join a guild. Otherwise, it would be difficult to level up quickly after Level 15. Some sets couldn’t be obtained from dungeons or wild bosses, so Lin Bai wasn’t against joining a guild.

However, he originally didn’t want to join these large guilds with capital support. He still trusted the official guilds a little more.

Hence, he announced in the friend channel, [I’ll see how it goes. It’s better to go to the official guilds when necessary. I don’t like those guilds that have capital support.]

[This guild is an official guild!] Shangguan Mengchen was overjoyed.

What?

Wasn’t the Violet Cloud Guild an alliance of several female guilds?

Didn’t they have the financial support of a family in Shendu?

[I’m not considering it for the time being. I’ll observe them for a while. Besides, they might not even like me,] Lin Bai said.

After returning to his room, Lin Bai opened his bag and took a look. The reward for him this time wasn’t high. It was only 5 million gold coins and a few pieces of warrior equipment. There wasn’t even a set.

But there was one that he could use.

A secondary weapon, or rather, a warrior’s secondary magical equipment.

[Demon Subduing Vajra (purple-tier) ]: A warrior’s secondary magical treasure, Strength +100, Intelligence +50, Spirit +25. Strength +10 can be matched with any set, and it will activate the warrior’s ‘Herculean King Kong’ with 50% of the additional skill effects.

Ruthless!

+100 in strength was equivalent to +500 in damage. This was something that even Level 50 warriors could only come across by luck.

Lin Bai immediately equipped it, and in an instant, his personal attributes reached the ceiling before Level 25.

No, with the [Eagle Eye Set], [Eagle Eye] skill, [Wind Rider’s Bracelet], and the beastmaster talent bonus, Lin Bai was confident that he could kill a warrior with Level 50 equipment set!

There was even a 30% chance of winning against transitioned warriors!

Don’t forget, he was a person who had exploded with a ‘critical strike’!

With all his attributes, his combat power had already exceeded 300, and his damage had exceeded 1,500. If he were to launch a critical strike, it would be ten times more powerful. With a damage value of more than 15,000, how many people could have such high HP now?

Even if there was, Lin Bai’s [Wind Rider’s Bracelet] could still follow up with a second attack!

“It seems like I’m still quite strong now.” Lin Bai was a little happy.

At this moment, Su Ling’er pushed open the door and entered. She immediately checked Lin Bai’s stats.

Then, the little girl became autistic.

“Let’s not talk about other things. Your current HP is already terrifying enough. Your martial arts are actually so high!” The little girl requested, “Protect me from now on!”

“What?” Lin Bai flicked his forehead. “Why don’t you tell me your basic attributes?”

Su Ling’er raised her eyebrows and laughed. She had something to say.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. How did this Fighting League find you?” Lin Bai asked sternly.

“It was a long story. Although Young Master Luo is overbearing, as an elder of the Fighting League, he is indeed an extremely competent leader. Every year, during the full-time period for the newcomers, he will pay close attention to all the contestants in Azure City. Even if they are only B-rank talents, as long as they had a certain level of ability, he will personally observe them and divide them into several batches according to their ability.”

“After this year’s class change, Young Master Luo also paid attention to all the new players in Azure.”

However, he didn’t expect that a genius with an A-rank talent would stay in such an unassuming inn. Therefore, he met Su Ling’er while he was testing the group of B-rank newbies.

With just one detection skill, Young Master Luo had determined that this was the talent that the Fighting League needed the most.

Su Ling’er said in disgust, “I’ve heard about this guild for a long time. They’re too overbearing. It’s said that as long as we enter a dungeon, the equipment we get must be distributed according to the status of the guild. No one is allowed to have any opinions. That’s why I can’t join such a guild. Moreover, this arrogant thing who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth directly gave me a guild entry token and told me to immediately tell the city-wide channel that from today onwards, I will be completely obedient to their guild.”

If he could still win her over, then she would have no self-esteem.

“It’s fine if you don’t agree to his condescending and charitable invitation, but this person will definitely come for revenge. You have to be prepared,” Lin Bai said.

Su Ling’er nodded her head. However, she was more worried that Lin Bai would be implicated.

“I’ve thought about it. Tomorrow is the best time for all guilds to mass-recruit. I’ll go and take a look at Violet Cloud. This guild is very good to girls, and the way the guild leader does things is more popular. I’ll go and join this guild and see what they dare to do,” Su Ling’er said.

She didn’t want to join a guild just like that. She wanted to see what these guilds were like before deciding which guild to join.

However, she didn’t seem to have a better choice.

On one hand, she wanted to cover Lin Bai’s true identity and combat strength. On the other hand, she didn’t want Lin Bai to be dragged down by her choosing a guild.

Lin Bai didn’t agree. He understood Su Ling’er’s feelings.

“Don’t join the guild yet. Let’s take a look first.” Lin Bai patted the little girl’s ponytail. “No matter what we choose, we must join the same guild.”

“Why?”

Su Ling’er didn’t understand.

Lin Bai chuckled. In the past, when he was unable to protect himself, Su Ling’er had always taken care of him.

Now that he had the support of powerful strength, he had to protect this good friend who was almost the closest to him.

Hearing this, Su Ling’er was very happy.

“That’s fine. I won’t consider joining for the time being. We’ll go after you’ve made your choice,” Su Ling’er said with a smile. With her current strength, even if Lin Bai chose one of the top guilds, she was fully qualified to be invited. Moreover, she was an alchemist. No guild would reject her. “If we’re unhappy in the guild in the future, we can leave as we please.”

Lin Bai gave her a thumbs up.

He took out the equipment that wasn’t part of the set and threw it over to Su Ling’er for her to decompose.

When it came to proficiency, it would be a waste to use blue and green equipment. Purple-tier equipment was the best.

Su Ling’er looked at it and rejected.

She had a better choice.
