The next day when Wang Yu logged in, he received a message from Sanguine Primrose saying that she wanted to sit down for a chat and express their sincerity. She even let him choose the location for this meet up.
Wang Yu very casually sent back: "No need to choose. Let's just go to the inn from yesterday!"
Wang Yu wasn't afraid that the Sanguine Alliance would try to ambush him. If the Sanguine Alliance still refused to change their ways after everything that happened yesterday, then Wang Yu would have no choice but to teach them a lesson again!
The patience and tenacity of a martial artist wasn't something that a normal person could imagine.
When Wang Yu arrived at the inn, it was obvious that the Sanguine Alliance weren't a bunch of brainless fools. Although the inn was crowded, there weren't any members of the Sanguine Alliance in sight.
In a secluded corner, Wang Yu saw Sanguine Primrose sitting alone sipping a cup of cheap malt liquor and seemingly deep in thought.
"Hello!" Wang Yu greeted her.
"Ah Great God Iron Bull!" Hearing his voice, Sanguine Primrose snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly greeted him.
"Just call me Brother Bull. What's with this nonsense about Great God anyway?" Wang Yu laughed.
"En… Yes, Brother Bull…" Sanguine Primrose lightly nodded.
"Quickly speak then. What do you plan on talking about?" Wang Yu immediately cut to the crux of the matter.
"Our Sanguine Alliance is willing to apologise to you and your friends about this whole matter."
"That's only natural!" Wang Yu nodded.
"Furthermore, if those four girls are willing to remain in the Primrose Militia, we will transfer them to an elite squad and pay them the highest salary." She continued.
Sanguine Primrose was a smart woman. After the incident, she could tell that the relationship between Wang Yu and the four girls wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. Pulling the four of them to their side would be equivalent to pulling an expert like Wang Yu into their ranks!
Even if others didn't know the true extent of Wang Yu's power, the Sanguine Alliance did. Forget about joining the Primrose Militia's elite squad. As long as Wang Yu was willing to say yes the for girls could even be elders in the Sanguine Alliance!
"Hmm… I think you should ask the girls themselves about this." Wang Yu replied.
"Well ok then. Even if those girls don't want to remain in the Primrose Militia, we are willing to consider it as our side breaking the contract and pay them double the severance pay!"
Based on the actual contract, if the girls insisted on leaving the guild then it would have been them breaking the contract and they naturally wouldn't receive any severance pay. Yet now the Primrose Militia was willing to pay them twice the normal severance pay. It was very easy to tell how much they wanted to rope Wang Yu in.
Wang Yu naturally understood the intentions of the Sanguine Alliance and lightly laughed: "Then I'll thank you in their place first!"
"No need to be so courteous." Sanguine Primrose giggled as she took out a coin pouch and said: "Leader Warflag said that his younger brother really caused you too much trouble. This money is just a small token of his sincerity."
Wang Yu had originally wanted to reject this offer. However, after giving it some thought, he concluded that such reparations were only natural and unreservedly accepted the pouch.
Upon inspection, Wang Yu realised that it contained exactly 200 gold coins! This was a really large fortune!
"Leader Warflag is really quite generous!"
"It's only natural. We just hope that in future when Brother Bull meets the members of our Sanguine Alliance you'll be merciful." Sanguine Primrose replied.
"That's only to be expected. I'm a pacifist after all. As long as no one antagonises me I won't intentionally find trouble with them." Wang Yu answered.
The Sanguine Alliance was a very large guild and they even paid him such a large amount of gold coins as reparations. Wang Yu wasn't an unreasonable person to begin with. Since he had achieved his original intention of getting an apology, Wang Yu naturally wouldn't find trouble with the Sanguine Alliance.
"As if there's such a thing as a pacifist who kills without even blinking like you…" Sanguine Primrose silently thought.
"Well, that's that then. If there's nothing else then I won't take up any more of Brother Bull's time!" With that, Sanguine Primrose stood up and left.
"See you around then!"
After Sanguine Primrose left, Wang Yu wasn't in any hurry to go anywhere and continued to drink alone.
When Li Xue and the rest logged in, Wang Yu explained to them what Sanguine Primrose had offered.
Right now Li Xue and the rest had two choices.
They could either just play the game for fun every day and still earn money, or they could quit and take the severance pay.
Although it was very clear that the first option was much better for them, they still chose to leave the guild.
Why did gold farming groups need to join a guild in the first place? The main reason was to secure a safe environment.
The Primrose Militia was one of the larger guilds within the country and was also an all girl guild. This guild was the most ideal one Li Xue and the rest when the first entered the game.
Who would have thought that when they were being bullied and hunted down, the Promise Militia didn't even pretend to try and protect them?
How could they not be disappointed in such a guild?
Though the conditions and salary offered by the Primrose Militia was very extravagant and enticing, it was only because Wang Yu had stepped up and fought for them!
If it wasn't for Wang Yu, the girls would have only been able to swallow this humiliation or worse!
"Are you sure about quitting?"
"Yes, I'm very sure!" Li Xue determinedly answered.
"We'll go wherever big sis goes! Even if it's the ends of the earth!" The rest agreed.
"Don't be so negative! I'll find you guys a guild where no one will bully you!" Wang Yu chuckled.
When Wang Yu relayed the girls' decision to Sanguine Primrose, she merely expressed some regret. It wasn't very shocking that the girls wanted to quit after everything that happened.
After closing the chat window, Wang Yu took a big gulp from his cup shouted: "I know you guys are there! Stop hiding and come out!"
Seeing that there was no movement, Wang Yu took a sachet of limestone powder out of his bag and threw it. When the powder scattered, the silhouette of an Assassin slowly appeared.
Although the Assassin remained motionless and Wang Yu couldn't see his face, he could still feel how shocked and afraid he was. The Assassin had clearly thought that Wang Yu had been talking to someone else.
Turning around, Wang Yu scanned the surrounding players and loudly said: "You've all been sneakily staring at me for half the day! What are you all trying to do?"
These players didn't have any guild emblems on them so they couldn't have been from Apocalypse or Sanguine Alliance. Wang Yu didn't have any conflicts with any other guilds or players either…
"Are you all here to worship me?" Wang Yu shamelessly asked.
When this thought surfaced Wang Yu nearly scared himself death. Having spent so much time with those clowns from Quan Zhen Sect, Wang Yu had begun to think like them!
In the face of Wang Yu's question, no one dared make any sounds.
In fact, these players really weren't from any guilds. They were just trying to complete a bounty quest.
In <<REBIRTH>>, there were only two ways to get rid of PK points. The first was to hide in the wilderness until they dispersed naturally. The second was to complete bounty quests!
Since the time taken for PK points to disperse in the wilderness was very long, the PK fanatics usually chose to complete bounty quests to cleanse their own points.
When these players first logged in today, the habitually went to accept some quests and realised that there was a mass murderer with 57 PK points! This caused their hearts to itch and instantly accept the bounty.
When hunting those with PK points, players would be rewarded based on the number of points that their targets had. The higher the points, the greater the rewards.
However, after accepting the quest, the players were all dumbfounded.
Their target was in an inn in the city…
Everyone in Twilight City knew who the only person with some relations with the city guards was. For someone with over 50 PK points to be walking around the city so casually meant that he was definitely the beast who had single-handedly fought the Sanguine Alliance everyone in the forums was talking about.
These players quickly thought to themselves: "Against an expert like this, brute force is definitely useless. I just need to seize the right moment to act. The Sanguine Alliance was too arrogant yesterday so the ended up getting played by him. This lord isn't so retarded. As long as I conceal myself and act at the right time I'll definitely kill him!"
Hence all these players didn't try to leave and instead sat around Wang Yu, occasionally glancing at him and trying to find an opening.
Who would have imagined that Wang Yu had already discovered them from the start?
After being revealed, the players didn't even have the time to react before someone walked through the door and tossed a gold coin to the owner while shouting: "Bounty time! Unrelated people, please f**k off! Those without insurance and those who suck too, please! If anyone wants insurance I know a guy…"
Hearing this long winded and annoying voice, the faces of the surrounding players turned incomparably ugly as they retreated several steps.
"F**k me! That f**king magician is here to steal our business again..."
"Quickly run! That madman kills without batting an eyelid! He's doing bounty quests anyway so he's not scared of a few PK points!"
Within seconds, the players that came to kill him opened up a large empty space in the middle of the inn.
Wang Yu turned around and looked at the newcomer who was dressed like a magician.
The magician wore a long black robe and held a staff with a faint blue glow around it. The staff even had a gem embedded in it that occasionally flashed with arcs of lightning. Although he appeared very flashy, his appearance was rather horrifying. His stare was filled with excitement and boundless killing intent.
"So it's you then! After killing so many people you still refuse to repent? Alright then… eat my lightning!!!!"
After droning on and on, the Magician suddenly explosively shouted and kicked up a table to block himself. Even though he had shouted "eat my lighting", he had cast [Fire Ball] instead...
Wang Yu didn't even bother to dodge and simply used [Rippling Wave] to cancel it out.
"Boom!!!!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck Wang Yu on his head!
<System Notification: You have been attacked by player "Ming Du". Since the player is on a bounty quest, you have no right to defend yourself. >
Wang Yu was greatly shocked.
Right now, Wang Yu had at least 100 magic resistance. Most Magicians now would only have around 110 magic attack. However this bastard Ming Du was able to reduce Wang Yu to half health with one attack! Even [Spirit Guard] had almost been activated!
This Magician's magic attack was terrifying!
What was the most horrifying was that although [Lightning Blast] was an instant skill, it would have a "boom" before it struck.
The moment Wang Yu heard the "boom" from Ming Du, he had immediately dodged to the side. However, he still ended up being hit directly by the [Lightning Blast]! This kind of predictive ability and accuracy were truly terrifying!
"Oh? You're still alive? Not bad kid, you should be proud! There's no one in this game that can take even half my spells! Looks like you really are an expert!" Seeing that Wang Yu was still alive, Ming Du was shocked as well.
[Lightning Blast] was the strongest early game skills that was able to deal 230% of the caster's magic attack as damage!
The staff in Ming Du's hand was able to raise the levels of skills by 2 and increased the damage of [Lightning Blast] to 350%!
With the boosts from all the top tier equipment that Ming Du had, during this era where no one had much magic resistance, there really wasn't anyone who could survive one attack from him! Even tanks would have been instantly killed by his attack and yet this little Pugilist was still alive and even had half his health left! How could Ming Du not be shocked?
"Truly worthy of being the man who f**ked the Sanguine Alliance! You really do have some skill!"
With that Ming Du raised his staff again. But how could Wang Yu possibly let him cast his spell again? Thus, Wang Yu immediately shot towards Ming Du.
"Boom!" another thunderclap sounded out.
Wang Yu knew that Ming Du was very accurate so he immediately halted and raised his hands to block his head.
However, the spell still hit him directly in the head!
The [Energy Shield] in Wang Yu's hand shattered and he was only left with 33% health!
However, Wang Yu was now three metres away from Ming Du.
"Motherf**ker! You're still alive? Why don't you come with big brother and we can find a nice open area and fight a few hundred rounds..." Ming Du's face changed.
Wang Yu laughingly interrupted him: "Luckily I was prepared this time. Forget about going to an open area, let's fight to the death now!" Before Wang Yu had even finished speaking, he stretched his hand out and a small energy vortex pulled Ming Du into Wang Yu's hands!
Uncommon skill -- [Void Seizing Palms]!!

Wang Yu viciously clamped his hand down on Ming Du's throat causing him to only be able to make soft squeaking sounds. If a Magician couldn't speak then they couldn't chant or cast any spells! Ming Du was choked to the point where his entire face was flushed a deep red, causing his already hideous appearance to become even worse.
Just as Wang Yu was about to crush Ming Du's neck, a bright flash of light rose from the ground and a white-robed Priest appeared between them.
Luckily this was was a game. If such a scene happened in real life than most people would have pissed themselves in fright.
"Iron Bull? You're still fighting?"
This Priest that had suddenly popped up was Fearless who had logged off in this exact spot yesterday after the fight. After reading the forums, Fearless had decided to log in and see what was going on in the game. Who would have imagined the first thing he saw was Wang Yu strangling someone?
"Ah! Argh ah ah!" Seeing Fearless log in, Ming Du revealed what might have been an elated expression and started screeching.
Hearing these odd sounds Fearless turned around and quizzically said: "Hmm? How come your face looks so familiar?"
"Arrrgh ah ah argh ah..."
"Holy f**k! Old Li! Iron Bull quickly let him go! He's one of us! " Fearless suddenly realised who this poor soul was and hurriedly tugged at Wang Yu's arm.
"You recognise this guy?" Wang Yu asked in amazement.
Honestly Ming Du's face had been crushed by Wang Yu to the point where it was deformed and discoloured! Even his own mother wouldn't necessarily have been able to recognise him!
"There's only one man in the world who could still be spouting so much shit while getting choked to death!" Fearless replied.
Having been released, Ming Du clutched his throat and desperately gasped for air as he cursed: "Fuck! You goddamn motherf**kers! Why do you keep hiding from your father instead of adding me to the guild..."
"Well… I've been busy..." Fearless nonchalantly replied.
"Cheh! Don't give me your bullshit you swindler. Is this the new member you guys found?" Ming Du pursed his lips and asked.
"Yea! Not bad right?" Fearless nodded.
Ming Du rubbed his chin while patting Wang Yu's chest and laughed: "Yes… not bad at all! Very lively man you've got here, though he is kinda cruel. This round can be considered a draw but if there's another chance we can find a more spacious area and settle who's the best!"
Hearing his words, Wang Yu was truly at a loss for words… A draw? He called it a draw when Wang Yu could have crushed the life out of him at any time? This man's shamelessness truly wasn't simple…
"Is he part of Quan Zhen Sect too?" Wang Yu turned around and solemnly asked.
This bastard called Ming Du was truly lawless, but his skill was the real deal. Furthermore, in terms of personality, he was infinitely close the rest of the Quan Zhen Sect members. What's more, Fearless had said he was one of them.
"Yes..." Fearless slightly dejectedly nodded.
"Then how come you didn't add him into the guild?" Wang Yu felt rather vexed. There were already barely any members in their guild and yet these clowns still didn't want to gather together?
"Well… It's a long story..." Fearless could only helplessly sigh as he shook his head and added Ming Du to the guild.
Within seconds, Wang Yu understood why everyone had been avoiding adding Ming Du like the plague.
<System Notification: Player Ming Du has joined Quan Zhen Sect!>
"Hahahahaha! Quan Zhen Sect kiddies grandpa Ming Du is back! Wooohooooo!!!!!"
"Here kiddy kiddy kiddy you're grandpa's back! Why's no one greeting him?"
"Oh? Everyone's offline? It's ok then they can still see this grandpa's messages when they log back in! Ahahahahaha!"
....
The moment Ming Du joined the guild, it was as though a bomb had gone off in the guild chat. Within seconds he had spammed it with all sorts of useless bullshit, frightening Wang Yu to the point where he immediately shut the chat down.
Seeing Wang Yu's expression, Fearless helplessly sighed: "I think you understand why we hadn't added him to the guild yet. Our tradition of muting the guild chat is because of him!"
"I see..." Wang Yu numbly nodded.
An entire day's worth of chat logs from the whole guild wasn't even close to what Ming Du had sent in the last five minutes! No wonder this guy was a Magician! His talking speed was several times faster than a regular person!
Seeing that Wang Yu and Ming Du had stopped fighting, the surrounding players also began to slowly disperse. When the players doing bounty quests saw that Wang Yu and Ming Du had become friends, they immediately perished any thoughts of killing either.
Either of them was more than enough to exterminate all of the players present, let alone working in a team!
At this point, the rest of the Quan Zhen Sect members also began to slowly login.
Seeing Ming Du the rest were both shocked and horrified before slowly greeting him: "Old Li you're here… It's really been a while… How come you're suddenly here..."
"Bullshit!! You motherf**kers were purposely hiding from this old man! You think I couldn't tell or something? So just cause I'm slightly more talkative you guys don't treat me like a brother? Very good! If you're going to treat me like your parents and hide from me I have nothing to say!" Ming Du raged.
"Why do you have so much nonsense to spout… You're annoying to the point even these neurotic madmen are afraid of you… truly a monster..." Wang Yu dejectedly thought.
Meanwhile, the rest of them were trying to change the topic: "There's no such thing man! We just got to Twilight City as well! And we were even surrounded and attacked by the Sanguine Alliance! Oh right Iron Bull, what happened in the end anyway? I heard that you successfully beat them into submission?"
"No no there's no such thing. It was just that they wouldn't have benefited from fighting me any longer!"
"Ooooh! Very impressive!" They gasped in admiration.
For a single man to have fought a few hundred to a standstill without either side being at an advantage was truly a godlike and unique feat in the game.
Originally, the rest of the members of Quan Zhen Sect had planned on just fighting when they could and escaping when they couldn't. They had intended on taking advantage of the quality of their individual members and harass their enemies to the point of surrender. Who would have imagined that their new member would have settled the entire matter with his own strength? This really was too impressive!
"Well since we have Old Li back I have an important announcement to make!" Fearless suddenly declared.
Hearing his words, Ming Du happily asked: "Oh? You couldn't have done something without me? It looks like I really am the true carry of our guild! Hahahaha!!!!"
"Motherf**ker can you just shut the f**k up for once in your f**king life????? Who's the leader here huh????" Fearless angrily shouted.
"It's you it's you… But I still have my right to spe… oh fu..."
Before Ming Du had even finished his sentence Vainglory had grabbed him by the mouth and menacingly growled: "Old Li you better shut the f**k up! I really want to kill you right now… I've recently learnt a new skill so if you want me to strangle you to death then keep on talking…"
When Ming Du finally stopped trying to talk, Vainglory turned around and said: "Fearless, you can continue now."
"Ok so as I was saying, I assume that everyone remembers that we bought a title deed recently right? So basically I plan on accepting the Headquarters Defense quest today! Does anyone have any issues with that?" Fearless emotionally said.
Hearing his words, the usually composed Frost Blade blurted out in surprise: "Are you mad? We're not even level 15 yet and you want to do a Headquarters Defense quest? No matter what we should still at least wait until everyone is level 20!"
In <<REBIRTH>>, the title deed was merely a tool to begin a Headquarters Defense quest. Players had to bring the title deed to the city lord's office to exchange it for a quest item. This quest item could be brought to the location stated in the title deed to build their headquarters.
However after the building itself finished construction, it would receive attacks from the original inhabitants of the area.
For example, the location the Quan Zhen Sect's title deed was meant for was the Dusk Canyon. Hence if they received the quest the Dusk Bandit Gang would launch an attack ten minutes after the construction had been completed!
Such a system was similar to the to the fabled monster siege!
The Dusk Bandit Gang monsters were considered rather high level monsters with even the normal ones being over level 20. And there were still the elite and boss monsters in the Dusk Canyon.
If the Quan Zhen Sect officially accepted the quest several hundred of these "low level" monsters would pour onto them like a flood! The few of them wouldn't be able to resist at all.
The title deed used to start the quest was a consumable item so if the Headquarters Defense quest was failed then the few hundred thousand they spent buying it would be gone just like that!
Due to this, establishing a guild headquarters was something that only large guilds would even attempt. Small guilds would generally not even bother with such an endeavour.
Although Fearless had bought the title deed from Wang Yu previously he hadn't dared to use it yet. Although the members of Quan Zhen Sect were all experts in their own right, they were all still only around level 14 or 15 so forcibly fighting these over level 20 monsters was still quite a challenge. He had originally planned to accept the quest after everyone had reached level 20.
Having spent so much time together, the rest naturally knew what Fearless had originally planned. However they didn't think that he would have suddenly lost his mind like this.
"For something like establishing a guild headquarters, the sooner we do it the better! If we wait too long, someone else might discover the limestone powder and introduce it to the market! Once that happens, we won't be able profit as much. Anyway since I've made the decision, I obviously have some confidence in us!" Fearless continued.
"Can I not go along?" Vainglory sheepishly asked.
"Of course! But in future when we're rolling in the dough you can just stand there and watch..."
"What kind of bullshit is that? Quan Zhen Sect's matters are my matters too! I'm willing to die as long as it's for my brothers!" Vainglory sternly said.
At this point, the ever silent Spring Halo suddenly spoke up: "Honestly with honourable brother Iron Bull around, we shouldn't have to worry about any boss at all. If I have enough health potions and mana potions we really can give this a shot. It's just that..."
"It's just that what? If there are any conditions then quickly say it! As long as you can tank for us during the battle then that's already half the battle won!"
"Well honestly I think we should try to find a Guardian actually. Otherwise I really don't think that my recovery will be able to keep up even with all the potions. When that happens we're all f**ked!" Spring Halo stated in a very matter of fact way.
"So Boson isn't enough right..." Fearless cocked his head and glanced at Boson.
"Hah! As if! This lord is a brave and powerful warrior! I'm not done kind of little bitch who hides behind a shield!" Boson proudly declared.
"Aren't Warriors supposed to be just a bunch of cheap f**ks for people to slap anyway? You should take advantage of your youth and play the guardian!!" Ming Du mocked.
Before level 20, players were still considered to be in the adjustment phase. Hence they were still allowed to change their job once!
"Hmph! You want me to stand there and just get beaten up without retaliating? In your dreams!" Boson snorted.
"Boson's temper really isn't suitable to be a Guardian… Does anyone have any Guardian friends to recommend?" Fearless asked.
"Nope! A true expert needs no friends!" Boson arrogantly declared.
"We're all solitary experts!" The rest shamelessly agreed.
"Enough! Stop with all this nonsense and get back on topic!"
"I really don't man… the only friends I have are you guys… honestly it doesn't even need to be a high level expert. As long as he can hold down the fort until I can recover my mana it's already good enough." Spring Halo honestly replied.
The rest of the members also nodded their heads in agreement at his Spring Halo's words. They really didn't have many friends…
"I have one actually!" Wang Yu was an honest man so after hearing Fearless's words, he immediately opened his friend list and sent messages to everyone he knew and someone had actually replied!
Crotch Lord: "Iron Bull I'm a Guardian. What's up?"
"Do you have a guild?"
"Nope. Great God Iron Bull which guild are you in? I'll go find you!" Crotch Lord replied.
"That's great! Come over now then. I'm in the Hans Inn now!"
