Chapter 21 One-man guild! One person is an army!

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning.

Xu Mu got up early and went out to the next street to eat a bowl of braised beef ramen.

In his previous life, there was an old beef noodle restaurant downstairs from his home, which Xu Mu often visited.

The boss is enthusiastic and the portions are generous. The beef is very well-marinated and tender.

I didn't expect that I could eat good braised beef noodles in this life. Although the taste is slightly different, it is salty, fresh and fragrant.

Unlike the hard days in the previous life, I only dared to order the original soup as a topping, and drank it all up but still felt unsatisfied.

In this life, Xu Mu made millions of yuan in just two days. Eating a bowl of beef noodles with all the sauced beef was no longer a luxury.

However, the owner of this store was obviously not as enthusiastic as the one in his previous life. When Xu Mu asked about the price, his attitude was quite impatient.

How to make a bad-tempered store owner instantly become enthusiastic towards you?

It's simple.

Xu Mu rolled up his sleeves, patted the table and shouted.

"Boss, add two taels of beef, no fat at all, and cut it into small pieces to make the sauce!"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner was so frightened that he shrank his neck and quickly went back to the kitchen to cut five taels of braised beef, added two fried eggs, and served it with a smile.

He repeatedly said that today was the 1862nd day the shop had been open, and Xu Mu was the 21st customer to come into the shop to eat noodles. This special day was worth celebrating, so the extra two fried eggs and three taels of beef were not charged.

Faced with the boss's forced celebration, Xu Mu accepted it all.

While eating noodles, I opened my phone and browsed the forum as usual.

As always, the most popular posts are still the trading posts for various dungeon props.

The price can range from dozens to hundreds of Red Moon coins, and some rare items can even exceed a thousand.

In addition, there are some strategy discussion posts.

Some players who have not yet completed the game will release some of the information they have obtained in the form of equivalent transactions.

If other players have needs, they can exchange their known information.

However, such transactions carry risks.

It is very likely that what you provide is the hiding place of a treasure, while the other party provides information such as 'an NPC at the east end of the village sneezes five times in a row, which should be a metaphor for something' or 'there is a foot-washing girl NPC at the end of the street in the XC area who can give you a naked back massage'.

Of course, whether the information like 'foot-washing girls can give you naked back massages' is useless or not depends on the individual.

In addition, there are also strategy trading posts.

Compared with strategy replacement, the reliability is greatly improved, but the charges will increase according to the perfection of the strategy.

After a thorough inspection, I found that a regular C-level copy with a 10% completion guide can be sold for over ten thousand yuan.

After all, once it is linked to one's life and death, as well as the strength of one's physical attributes, the price will skyrocket.

What surprised Xu Mu was...

There are actually posts discussing my own in the forum, and they are quite popular.

[Dig deep into the story behind player 'A'! I'll start: As far as I know, God A should be a local of Dolphin City. Continue below! ]

[It is said, it is said! The person who cleared the "Three Kingdoms War" dungeon the day before yesterday and the one who got the SSS rating of "Slay the Spire" yesterday are the same person! It is not the rumor on the Internet that there are two A-level gods! ]

[Rounding off is equivalent to us losing an A-god/crying/crying! ]

[But I got an enhanced version of God A! /ecstasy/ecstasy]

[This world needs more A-gods! ]

[All your news is not explosive enough! Yesterday, I met Xiao Xiji, the president of the Flower Fairy Guild, on the first floor. She was talking to a player at the time. I was not far away and heard the player call himself 'A'. Unfortunately, I didn't dare to get too close. I didn't hear clearly what they said. ]

[Damn! Xiao Xi is having an affair with God A? She was afraid of being discovered so she went to the first floor where there are the most players to date, right?]

[What? Xiao Xiji and God A were caught kissing secretly on the first floor? ]

[What? Xiaoxi is pregnant? Is the child from God A?]

[Oh my god! I just got here and I feel a little dizzy. What happened? My guild leader, Xiao Xi, is about to give birth? I sat at the same table with the child during the baby's full-month banquet! ]

Because Xu Mu's popularity has been so high in the past two days, the discussion post was instantly pushed to the top of the thousand-fold layer. Some passers-by who were too lazy to look through the post saw only hot replies that were exaggerated or even fabricated.

This caused the incident to become more and more outrageous.

There are many who are just trying to get attention.

Like what——

[God A was my former deskmate, and I even lent him half an eraser]

[God A is my neighbor. He used to peek at me taking a bath every day. I am a man.]

[A-shen, I know him too well! He used to be in our university, an old scumbag, he slept with all the pretty girls in the school, it is said that he once slept with ten girls in one go! ]

[You didn’t invite me to the silver party? You didn’t invite me to the silver party? 】

[Me, me, me! I'll say one too. I remember that A-shen... Sorry, I forgot the beginning, the middle, and the end.]

【Alzheimer's disease, right?】

…

Xu Mu couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

What desk mate, neighbor.

It's all nonsense!

Some people even spread rumors that he held a silver party and slept with ten school beauties in one go!

Xu Mu gets angry when this is mentioned.

damn it!

Is there such a good thing?

As the saying goes, when you are famous you are prone to gossip.

In this era where strength is paramount, super players have long replaced the traffic stars of previous years and have become the subject of everyone's gossip.

Especially Xu Mu, who received SSS-level evaluation for two consecutive days, became the topic of conversation for the people of Dolphin City after they had a good meal.

Xu Mu, who didn't get any useful information, was about to quit the forum.

One post caught his attention.

[News from 'Dimension World'! 】

[1. Two days ago in Dolphin City, a player with ID 'A' received SSS-level dungeon ratings twice in a row, sparking heated discussions across the Internet.]

[2. A new round of red moon is about to fall tonight. According to the traditional practice in the past, a new limited-time dungeon will be added at that time, which will be open to all players without restrictions. Players are requested to make corresponding preparations and strive to achieve good results in the dungeon! ]

【3. The annual guild registration is open for a limited time. Friends who intend to create a guild should bring relevant information and proof of strength to the Dolphin City Hall for consultation and processing.】

[4. A vicious fight occurred on Machete Street in the Old Lake District. All members of the Machete Gang were arrested. According to relevant investigations, it is most likely caused by a fight between two gangs...]

The subsequent news were all unimportant, and Xu Mu was concerned about the second and third ones.

Red moon is coming?

New limited-time copies added?

He hurriedly searched the forum with the keyword "Red Moon Coming".

I understood it after reading the explanation carefully.

It turns out that the red moon comes regularly once a month.

All normal copy entrances were closed that night, and only limited-time copy channels were open.

And this limited-time copy is not available in all previous normal copies.

The dungeon is based on a city. All players in the city can participate and it is counted in the provincial capital ranking. Players can obtain a large number of various .

After the copy ends, it disappears automatically, the normal copy entrance opens, and everything returns to normal.

"No wonder the cities and provinces have changed so much. It turns out that the current divisions of cities and provinces have been redistributed according to the coverage of copy areas." Xu Mu suddenly realized.

When the red moon comes, the copies assigned to each area are different.

Therefore, the provinces and states were re-divided according to this area to ensure that everyone in a province or state is conquering the same copy.

Although it is open to everyone, it will cause many high-level players to be far ahead.

But Xu Mu was not panicked.

A brand new copy means that everyone has zero knowledge of this copy and everyone is on the same starting line.

And having a strategy will undoubtedly give you a huge advantage.

"I just don't know what kind of copy will appear randomly." After thinking to himself, Xu Mu searched for the guild-related information again.

After learning that the guild had additional attribute bonuses and would enjoy welfare subsidies from the government every month, Xu Mu became eager to try it out.

The higher the level of the guild, the better the welfare benefits, and sometimes they even give out sought-after resources such as [Dungeon Cards].

Then join the guild?

No no no.

Xu Mu was not interested in joining a guild, which was like living under someone else's roof.

There are so many players queuing up and waiting for benefits, and there is not much left after the benefits distributed by the government are divided up.

It is far better to set up a guild of your own, where you are the only one in the guild, and all the benefits provided by the government will be yours.

However, Xu Mu searched the guild section on the forum for a long time but did not find any special cases for single-player guilds.

"Is there a limit on the number of people required to form a guild?" Xu Mu frowned.

"Why don't we go to the city hall and ask first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number. After answering the call, the female voice on the other end was sweet and polite.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu?"

"Who are you?"

"This is a call from the Dolphin City Hall. City Lord Liu wants to meet you. Is it convenient for Mr. Xu to go to the City Hall?"

oh?

The government called and wanted to see you?

Moreover, the city lord personally received him.

The city lord is busy with all kinds of affairs and is rarely seen every day. Now he specially entertains a little player like himself, which is really impressive.

But I think it’s probably because of the two things that happened yesterday.

Due to the nature , Xu Mu couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

It’s not surprising that the government came to me.

It just so happens that I was also planning to go to the city hall to consult about the relevant matters of establishing a guild.

It would be good to get things done at once.

After agreeing, Xu Mu finished the noodles in the bowl, wiped his mouth and set off immediately.

With 80 points of agility, even without using full power, Xu Mu's speed is already as fast as a bus, attracting many people's attention along the way.

"I heard that once your agility reaches 200, you can resist gravity and gain the ability to stay in the air. It will be much more convenient then." Xu Mu thought to himself.

Soon, we arrived at the City Hall.

The sweet-looking secretary was waiting for him at the door and led him to the city lord's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Mu saw a slightly plump man with a classic leadership hairstyle (Mediterranean) waiting there.

When he first saw Xu Mu, the surprise in Liu Hailang's eyes disappeared in an instant.

This guy is too young.

He looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. You're welcome, please take a seat." Coming back to his senses, Liu Hailang behaved very politely.

Just kidding, such a young guy already has the word "potential stock" engraved on his forehead.

If I can train him to be A+ grade in due time...

No, even an A-level player is like a super soldier.

Through publicity, the city's visibility can be greatly enhanced, attracting residents from other cities to live there.

You know, the neighboring Haibin City is developing smoothly now because it has cultivated two A-level players and attracted countless young people from surrounding towns and villages.

There were only five A-level players in his city, not even one A-level player. How could Liu Hailang not be jealous?

"He is the player who received an SSS-level rating in the C+-level dungeon yesterday." The secretary whispered in Liu Hailang's ear about Xu Mu's general situation.

"Where is the other person?" Liu Hailang asked.

"The technical department is still trying to contact us. It was too dark last night and the information we obtained was limited."

"Okay, you go down first and ask the technical department to get in touch as soon as possible, preferably before the red moon arrives."

"yes."

After the secretary left, Liu Hailang exchanged a few polite words with Xu Mu with a friendly smile.

I asked some irrelevant questions like "What does the boy do on weekdays?", "Where does he live?", "Does he have a girlfriend?" These are gossip questions that only elders would ask.

After the atmosphere had warmed up, he spoke slowly.

"Xiao Xu, it's like this. Your outstanding performance yesterday has been hotly discussed all over the Internet, which really gave our Mayor Dolphin a lot of face. For a rare talent like you, as the mayor and on behalf of the Dolphin government, I will decide to reward you with 1,000 Red Moon Coins!"

"Of course. Don't think it's too little. This is just a small token of appreciation from the government."

"Also, Xiao Xu, you don't have a guild yet, right? Are you interested in joining our Dolphin Bay Guild?" Liu Hailang's intention to win you over was evident in his words.

The Dolphin Bay Guild is a guild established under the City Hall and is composed of legitimate civil servants.

The players inside may not necessarily be the strongest in the city, but their treatment is definitely the best in the city.

Just when Liu Hailang was proudly introducing the guild benefits to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu interrupted.

"I'm sorry, City Lord Liu, I want to ask, can I set up my own guild?"

He had to ask anyway, whether he asked the lower-level officials or the city lord. Xu Mu then spoke out.

Liu Hailang was stunned for a moment, then continued.

"Of course, Xiao Xu, do you want to start your own guild?"

Even if I can't stay in the Dolphin Bay Guild, as long as I set up a guild in my own city, it would still be considered...

Liu Hailang hadn't figured out what he was thinking when he heard Xu Mu ask.

"Then can I form a one-person guild?"

"Uh..." Liu Hailang was stunned.

He didn't expect Xu Mu to develop such a wonderful way of thinking...

Judging from this kid's performance in the past two days, he is a promising talent with unlimited potential in the future.

If Dolphin City could produce a genius like this, it would be more confident when asking for funding from the province in the future.

However, for one person to form a guild...it is legal but a little tricky.

No one has ever thought of this kind of development before. Humans are social animals and like to stay in groups.

After all, no one dares to say that he is proficient in all the copies.

So, at this time, it is very important to share strategies with other members of the guild.

What Liu Hailang didn't know was that the person sitting in front of him was not someone else.

It is a purely pedestrian and self-propelled strategy tool.

He doesn't need anyone else to share a piece of the pie. He is an army by himself and has all the information, big and small, about almost all copies!

However, public funds are not eaten for free. The funds allocated to the union each year are limited. If the provincial disciplinary group finds out that there is a one-person union, it may be considered that the government has improper and illegal transactions with private individuals, which would be difficult to explain.

"Uh..." After falling into a long period of contemplation, Liu Hailang's expression became awkward.

Agree to it. I feel that Xiao Xu is not strong enough to allow me to take risks.

If I don’t agree...it will hurt his feelings. What if he joins the neighboring Seaside City in a fit of anger?

"It's like this, Xiao Xu...this...this..." Liu Hailang was still thinking about how to word it and tactfully rejected Xu Mu's request.

"If City Lord Liu is embarrassed, then forget it." Xu Mu was not ignorant of the ways of the world. Liu Hailang gave him a good first impression, and he didn't want to continue to embarrass him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The sweet-faced secretary walked in quickly in high heels, leaned close to Liu Hailang, lowered her voice, and spoke quickly.

"City Lord Liu, we have found the contact information of another player! He is the one who fought against the bandits on Machete Street yesterday."

"Contact us immediately!" Liu Hailang was overjoyed.

The secretary turned his head and looked at Xu Mu again, hesitating slightly.

"Just call him directly. Xiao Xu is not an outsider, so there's no need to avoid him. These two brothers might be able to join forces in the future. Hahaha." Liu Hailang chuckled.

The secretary quickly dialed the number.

The office fell into silence.

After a moment.

The cell phone in Xu Mu's pocket suddenly rang!

Swish, swish, swish!

Two pairs of eyes instantly fell on Xu Mu's vibrating crotch.

Liu Hailang: “???”

secretary:"????"

The people in the room stared at each other for a few seconds.

Liu Hailang's brain was working at high speed and his CPU was about to burn out, then he thought of a possibility.

These two excellent players I'm looking for...

Is there a possibility that...

The same person? ! !

On one side is a strategy expert who has received SSS-level rating for two consecutive days.

On the other hand, he solved the government's pain points single-handedly and razed Machete Street. His strength is comparable to that of A-level players!

Put together, it means... a player with A-level strength and at least two SSS-level perfect strategy guides...

Isn't this simply the perfect super player candidate in my eyes!

hiss!!!

Slowly, two different images intertwined and overlapped in front of Liu Hailang.

Finally, it turned into Xu Mu's handsome and clean face in front of him.

Liu Hailang pinched his thigh hard and asked again as if to confirm.

"Xiao Xu, have you always been using this phone number?"

"Yes." Xu Mu didn't know why Liu Hailang suddenly asked this question, but he still answered truthfully.

"You really have never lent it to anyone else?"

Xu Mu shook his head.

Liu Hailang asked one last question.

"Xiao Xu, what did you say last time?"
