After exchanging friends with Kuroyukihime, Fang Zheng took Yuuki and Argo out of the square and headed to the next destination to find the second player Argo mentioned.

However, as soon as the other party came up, he posed a difficult problem to Fang Zheng.

"I want you to help me find my brother."

"Your brother?"

Fang Zheng stared at the player named "Leafa" with wide eyes. She was also a girl with short black hair that reached her shoulders. She looked very heroic. According to Argo, this player was quite strong. Although she was only level 14, her skills were very good... Well, since Argo said so, then she was not wrong.

"Yes."

Leafa nodded.

"I came into this world with my brother, but I don't know where he is..."

"Your brother? You don't know his ID? Didn't you add him as your friend?"

After listening to Leafa's story, Fang Zheng was completely in disbelief. How could there be such a sister?

“Woo…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Leafa was obviously a little annoyed, but she still suppressed her anger and explained.

"In fact, I came to this game without telling my brother. I just wanted to see what the game that obsessed my brother was like. I wanted to scare him here, but in the end..."

"…But you don't know his ID either…"

Facing Leafa's story, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. You have to know that this game originally had a face-shaping system. If you don't know the other person's ID, you can't even tell whether the person in front of you is a man or a woman. Leafa, who is so innocent, wants to scare her brother? She doesn't even know what her brother looks like in the game!

Although all players in the world were forced to restore their original appearances due to the bad taste of that guy named Kayaba Akihiko, it was not easy to find one person among ten thousand people, not to mention that Leafa didn't even know the other person's ID. Maybe that person was already dead?

Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't voice this thought out loud. According to Argo's description, this player had been approached several times, but she hadn't joined any guild so far, which meant that the previous people had failed to reach an agreement with her, and no one had told her about this possibility.

But for Leafa, it is obviously impossible to accept.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng spoke decisively.

"It's impossible to help you find your brother. This game world is so big, with tens of thousands of players. We simply can't find them all. And you don't know your brother's ID. In this case, the possibility of finding a player is basically zero."

“……!”

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the girl named Leafa raised her eyebrows in anger, while Argo pressed her forehead helplessly and sighed. It was obvious to her that the talks had failed again.

But the next moment, Fang Zheng changed the subject.

"But you can ask your brother to come to you."

"……Why?"

Leafa was stunned when she heard Fang Zheng's answer.

"What do you mean?"

"That's what I meant literally."

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason I came to recruit you is not just to enhance my combat power. I want to organize a team to attack the lord, so I need the strongest player. Argo has assured me of your strength, so I came to you."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stared at Leafa.

"You should also understand what it means to capture a lord. If we can successfully capture a lord, our reputation will naturally soar. Sooner or later, almost all players will know our names. By that time, it won't be so difficult for you to find your brother. You only need to say one sentence, and it will be enough to spread among the player group, right? And..."

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng seemed to have thought of something.

"I have other ways to help you, but I'm still working on it."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Leafa's frown slowly relaxed. In fact, as Fang Zheng said, she didn't know how to find her brother, whose ID she didn't even know, among thousands of players, but Leafa couldn't think of a better way. But now listening to Fang Zheng's words... this seems feasible?

"Will you really help me?"

"You help me, and I help you."

Fang Zheng pointed at himself and then at Leafa.

"Everyone for me, I for everyone. Of course, you should also understand the dangers involved. If you don't want to do this, then I can't do anything about it."

"No, I do."

This time, Leafa nodded happily. Just as Fang Zheng said, she really had no other choice. She could only take one step at a time. At least Fang Zheng had shown her a clear path...

Just like that, Fang Zheng successfully collected another head, but this was not the end. You must know that according to the system regulations, only at least ten people can officially establish a union. Now including Fang Zheng, Esther, Restia, Kuroneko, Aoba, Asuna, Yuki and Leafa, there are eight people, and at least two more people must be found.

So Fang Zheng cheered up and tried again.

only……

"I said Argo."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think I'm a custodian at a kindergarten or something?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. Not to mention why Argo introduced all the girls to him, and why they all looked younger than the other!

"This is an elementary school student..."

"… Are you kidding me? I'm a high school student!"

Standing in front of Fang Zheng was a girl with messy blonde hair and a figure that looked even smaller than Qingye. According to Fang Zheng's visual estimation, Qingye was probably less than 1.5 meters tall, and this girl... was probably less than 1.45 meters tall?

You're a high school student with this height? Are you kidding me?

Of course, that's what he said, but Fang Zheng is obviously not stupid enough to really say it. Apart from anything else, this person also has her own unique qualities, which can be seen from her level.

Level 20!!

This is really a liver all over the body!

You know, Yuuki has only just reached level 19, and this high school student who looks like an elementary school student is almost at level 21! Considering that the higher the level, the less experience you get, it can be said that she has worked really hard to level up to this level by herself.

"Okay, then this... Miss Gabriel."

Fang Zheng looked at the high school student in front of him who had the body of an elementary school student and sighed helplessly.

"May I ask what you want?"

"It's simple. Give me a bonus every month, and provide food and lodging. Then I will help you deal with the Lord, the Demon King, or anything else!"

As he spoke, Gabriel swung the one-handed hammer in his hand... Yes, that's right, this guy's main weapon is actually a one-handed hammer! This is really unexpectedly violent...

"Of course no problem, but I also have conditions, that is, you must obey my orders unconditionally, and the following training will be very hard. Are you willing to accept it?"

“Woo…”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's request, the female player named Gabriel showed a painful expression on her face.

"I don't want to suffer, but it's in the game anyway... Never mind, as long as it's not too much, then I'll listen to you."

Finally, after some bargaining, Fang Zheng was able to hire the player named "Gabriel". Next, as long as he found the last person, he could set up a union. However...

"there is none left?"

Looking at Argo, Fang Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, you can't play with me like this. I'm just missing one person! !

"Yeah, do you think it's that easy to find players? These are all we can find now."

"But there's only one person missing..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but look at Argo.

"How about...you come and join us?"

"Me? I won't do it!!!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Argo's face suddenly changed and she waved her hands hastily. Are you kidding? It's not like she hasn't seen Fang Zheng's devilish training before. Argo is not interested in this. She should continue to do the promising job of being an intelligence dealer!

"Um?"

Gabriel's eyes lit up when she heard the conversation between Fang Zheng and Argo.

"Young man, you seem to be short of people?"

"yes."

"How about we make a deal then?"

As she spoke, Gabriel made a gesture as if taking out money.

"I'll introduce you to a guy. You give me 2,000 Cole! Don't worry, that guy will definitely meet your requirements. Don't you want someone who is strong in combat and obedient? That guy is the best fit!"

"…If we can make a deal, but what do you want so much money for?"

Fang Zheng was not short of money. After all, he had been leveling up and killing monsters all the time, so he naturally had a lot of money on hand. 2,000 Core was not a lot, but it was not a little either. However, Fang Zheng couldn't understand what Gabriel wanted the money for.

"Oh, I've recently found a piece of equipment that I've set my eyes on, but I'm short on money. I've spent all the money I used to spend on monster hunting..."

"……All right."

After hearing Gabriel's request, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then nodded.

"If the person you are talking about really meets my requirements."

"Okay, it's settled!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Gabriel clapped her hands excitedly, then she quickly opened the system and pulled out the friend list.

"Hey, loser! I found a man for you, come here quickly!!"

“…”

What the hell is this?

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Just as Fang Zheng and Argo were looking at each other in silence, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a loud "bang", the door opened, and a girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails rushed in with a red face.

"Who are you calling a loser!!!"
