The news that Nirvana Guild won the "Guild Resource Competition" championship quickly spread throughout the Star Card Forum. Chi Yingying had already written the manuscript and took advantage of the opportunity to publish the Nirvana Guild's recruitment promotion on the forum.

The Nirvana Guild was still in its early stages of development, and needed a large number of players to complete guild tasks to increase the guild's construction. Now that Nirvana has been upgraded to level 6, the number of players is already sufficient, but there are still too few elites. After discussions with several managers, this time we will only recruit elite players, who must have reached the "Star Card Master" rank or the "Advanced Star Card Expert" rank with a win rate of more than 70% this season.

No more than 15% of the players can meet this requirement. But even so, once the promotional post was sent out, the Nirvana guild's application list instantly exceeded 1,000, which shows how popular Nirvana has been in the past two days!

The experts who applied to join the Nirvana Guild were almost squeezed to the limit. Chi Qing was so tired of watching the backstage that she had no choice but to ask her sister to help her review the applications one by one.

Xie Mingzhe was in a good mood and went to the guild warehouse with Chen Xiao to count the results of the activity.

Today was a great harvest. The reward of level 7 attribute enhancement fragments alone was enough to upgrade more than a dozen full-level black cards. Other things like experience stones and repair stones were countless.

Xie Mingzhe said excitedly: "Let's participate in every weekly event in the future."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, I'll continue to participate next week, so I won't have to worry about running out of materials in the future!"

After several managers discussed, they decided that for all members who participated in the guild war, the guild would reimburse all the materials needed to repair the cards after they died. Jin Yue and Xiao Pang would count the battle damage of this event and then send the required repair stones to the members by email.

The guerrilla attack team led by Ke Xiaoke had the highest number of card deaths, especially Ke Xiaoke's jokers, three of which died seven times and were completely damaged. They scouted everywhere, blocking the opponent from returning to defend, and were not afraid of fighting against dozens of opponents with ten people. The cards suffered heavy casualties in the melee, but there is no doubt that their team made a great contribution in today's event.

Xie Mingzhe directly sent 100 Level 7 Repair Stones to Ke Xiaoke and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoke. You performed very well today."

Ke Xiaoke's voice was shaking with excitement: "Uncle Fat? What is this? Is it a reward for the event?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "When you participate in guild activities, the guild will of course reimburse all your losses. We can't let you work hard and then suffer losses. I've given you some extra cards. Repair all your cards."

Ke Xiaoke suddenly fell silent, looking at the repair stone worth tens of thousands of gold coins in the email, with mixed feelings.

Xie Mingzhe found that he had not replied, and thought that he was in a hurry to repair the cards, so he ignored him for the time being and continued to distribute materials to other people in the group. When he had distributed materials to everyone in the group, the clock had already pointed to 9:30 in the evening.

At this moment, he suddenly received a private voice message from Chen Qianlin: "Xiao Xie, are you done?"

Xie Mingzhe immediately replied: "What's wrong, Master?"

Chen Qianlin said: "Ask Chen Xiao to come to the guild office. I have something to tell you."

Chen Xiao was distributing materials to members in the group, so Xie Mingzhe asked him to go back to the union office in the headquarters building.

As soon as they entered, they saw Chen Qianlin standing in the middle of the room, frowning and watching a video. Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe looked at each other, walked over and stood beside him, and saw that the video was playing a clip of the guild war just now. It was the guerrillas led by Ke Xiaoke ambushing at the transmission point from Saturn to Mercury. The Iron Blood Guild was caught off guard and more than a dozen players died in an instant.

At that time, Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao were attacking Jupiter with all their strength, while Chen Qianlin was guarding the base. They had no idea what happened at the teleportation point. But after the event, the presidents of the three guilds were able to get the God's Perspective video, which was the video that Chi Qing sent to Chen Qianlin.

Chen Qianlin paused the video, looked at Xie Mingzhe and asked, "When did Ke Xiaoke join Nirvana? Are you familiar with him?"

Xie Mingzhe was stunned. He didn't expect that his master would suddenly ask about this person. He thought about it, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said, "I'm not particularly familiar with him. I met him in the arena. At that time, I had won 29 games in a row and was only one game away from upgrading to a star card expert. I happened to meet Ke Xiaoke. I remember that I showed the video of that game to my master?"

"Yeah, I remember. His deck was seven joker cards. He started off very aggressively, suppressing you the whole time. But later on, he underestimated the enemy and used his healing skills too early. You protected Sun Shangxiang until the late game, and she fired at him and took away six of his cards."

"That's right." Xie Mingzhe admired his master's memory and nodded. "After the game, he added me as his friend and said that he had experience in creating a guild, but unfortunately the guild was disbanded, and he wanted to join Nirvana to help. I was not sure about his background at the time, so I asked Sister Qing to investigate him first. During this period, I heard that he was leading people to play in the arena. He was quite active and led several masters to the Star Card Master level. So this time we let him lead a guerrilla team for the guild activity."

Chen Xiao didn't know Ke Xiaoke, but he couldn't help but get interested after hearing this: "This person is a bit interesting. I just happened to look at the activity statistics that Jin Yue sent me. Ke Xiaoke was extremely despicable. He used a hand of jokers to sneak and assassinate, and actually killed 35 cards and 15 players, with the highest performance points in the game."

Chen Qianlin fell silent, as if thinking about something important.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe didn't know what to say for a moment and just stared at each other.

Just when Xie Mingzhe was about to lose control, Chen Qianlin's calm voice suddenly rang in his ears: "If my guess is correct, this Ke Xiaoke is most likely the former president of the Eye of Death Guild, Ghost Young Master."

Xie Mingzhe looked confused: "Young Master Ghost?"

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes suddenly: "Brother, are you sure it's him?"

Chen Qianlin nodded: "I just replayed the game video and specifically observed Ke Xiaoke's operation. He was very powerful. Once he was besieged by five players from the Iron Blood Guild, but he escaped unscathed and even killed two of them. He looked very active and lively, but he was actually the calmest person in the whole game."

After hearing this, Xie Mingzhe walked over and asked Chen Xiao in a low voice: "What does the Eye of Death Guild do?"

Chen Xiao explained in a low voice in his ear: "This guild is very special. It only has 50 members and is not open to applications. Although the number of members in the guild is small, its reputation is no less than that of the big guilds. They are frequent visitors on the bounty mission list, especially the leader Gui Shao, who appears and disappears mysteriously and is always at the top of the bounty gold list. He has first-class assassination ability. Unfortunately, the guild was disbanded later."

The bounty list is a special way to play the game. For example, if a player has a grudge against someone, he can issue a bounty order. After receiving the bounty order, some experts will search for the bounty target in the game and kill the bounty target in the wild map of Free War to claim the bounty.

Players are protected by the system in the dungeon and will not die. However, in the free battle area in the wild, not only the player's cards will die, but the player himself can also be killed. Once a player dies, all the cards he carries will increase his death count, and the materials in the package will also fall randomly, causing heavy losses. Unless there is a deep hatred, there is generally no bounty for killing.

However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The guild disputes and personal grudges in the Star Card World are no less than those in traditional online games, so a large number of bounties are generated every day. There are a group of killers in the game who specialize in taking bounty missions. They usually ambush at the entrance of daily dungeons and event dungeons, specializing in assassinating bounty targets and making a living from bounties.

The emblem of the Death Eye Guild is a blood-red eye in a terrifying style, which means that no one can escape their pursuit once they are targeted by the "Death Eye". To be the boss of such a pure killer organization, Ke Xiaoke must be an extraordinary person.

Xie Mingzhe's impression of Ke Xiaoke is that he is a lively teenager with a clear and pleasant voice. He follows him and says with a smile, "Uncle Fat, I am your crazy fan." He has no way of connecting this man with the leader of a killer organization lurking in the dark.

Could it be that these are just illusions in the game?

Xie Mingzhe's scalp tingled when he thought of this. He didn't dislike killers. Since there were bounty missions in the game, there would naturally be killers who would take on the missions. This was just a way of playing. The key point was, if this person was really the "Ghost Boy" who was the president of Death Eye, then why did he come to Nirvana Guild? It couldn't be as simple as "Fat Uncle's fan", right?

Xie Mingzhe was a little confused and scratched his nose and asked, "Why did he come to Nirvana?"

Chen Xiao guessed, "I heard that Gui Shao never cared who the target was when he accepted bounty missions. Some time ago, he assassinated two vice presidents of Judgment in the wild and was chased everywhere by Judgment. This guy is too bold. I guess Gui Shao's account couldn't make it, so he secretly opened a small account and came to our guild to avoid his enemies."

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Thinking of the scene where this guy was chased everywhere by the executed guild, Xie Mingzhe suddenly wanted to laugh - this Ke Xiaoke was really bold, trying to kill the president of a big guild, but ended up hitting a wall.

Xie Mingzhe asked: "If it is confirmed to be him, what should we do? Wouldn't it be bad to hand him over to the judge?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Let's just pretend we don't know. He's using a fake account anyway."

Xie Mingzhe nodded in agreement: "Well, as long as his trumpet doesn't kill anyone again."

Chen Qianlin said: "I don't have any definite evidence, it's just a guess. However, you should still pay more attention to this person and don't let him cause any trouble."

Chen Xiao rubbed his temples and said, "I never thought that our guild has a wanted criminal in the entire server!"

Xie Mingzhe shrugged helplessly: "Now I understand why he came to Nirvana. Small guilds can't protect him, and other large guilds have strict management and he can't get in. Only our Nirvana is currently in the development stage, and the members who joined are a mixed bag. He hid in the crowd and it was difficult for us to find him. If Master hadn't been careful today, we would never have thought that there would be problems with his background."

Chen Xiao chuckled: "This guy is quite clever. He uses us Nirvana as his umbrella and claims that he is your brain-dead fan. I hope he behaves himself and doesn't cause any trouble for me, otherwise I will be the first to deal with him!"

Ke Xiaoke, who was editing cards in his personal space, suddenly sneezed loudly.

***

After the weekend guild event ended, Nirvana Guild's popularity was unmatched, and it even made it into the top five of the guild popularity list that day, enough to compete with many old club guilds.

Under Chi Qing's management, the guild has a good development momentum, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a full-level seven-star guild.

School is about to start, so Xie Mingzhe put his games aside for the time being and made some preparations for the start of school.

On August 31st, he got up early in the morning to get a haircut - he had been in the hospital for a month and another month after being discharged. He had not taken good care of himself and his hair had grown a little long. After having it cut short at the barber shop, his smooth forehead was exposed, making him look more energetic.

After getting his hair done, he called Chen Xiao and planned to go to a nearby mall to buy some clothes.

Since his rebirth into this world, he came to the studio with only a small suitcase filled with Xie Mingzhe's old clothes. His shirts and jeans were all washed and faded, and looked very shabby.

Xie Mingzhe was indeed very poor in the past, but now everything is different. The balance in his card is an astronomical figure that he never dared to dream of, and he still has a large amount of gold coins in the game that he has not withdrawn. He is now fully capable of making himself better.

He doesn't have high requirements for clothes. He doesn't need to buy expensive brand names. Simple and decent mainstream brands are fine.

Chen Xiao was very loyal and accompanied him out, and they chose a large shopping mall as their destination. In fact, they could buy things online and have them delivered to their door, but Xie Mingzhe still preferred to go to the mall to buy them, because after getting his hair cut, it was just right on the way and he could also go out and get some fresh air.

There were not many people in the mall and the shopping environment was very good. Chen Xiao took him to a moderately priced men's clothing store. Xie Mingzhe quickly picked out some clothes suitable for students and went to the fitting room to try them on.

With a new hairstyle and new clothes, Xie Mingzhe looked energetic and handsome. Chen Xiao also had a hint of admiration in his eyes and said, "When you go to school, there will definitely be a lot of girls chasing after you. With such good looks, you can be rated as the school hunk."

Xie Mingzhe adjusted his collar in front of the mirror and said nonchalantly, "I don't like girls."

Chen Xiao was stunned: "Huh?"

Xie Mingzhe quickly changed his words: "What I mean is that I have to focus on my studies and career. After school starts, I have to attend classes and play games at the same time. How can I have time for a relationship?" He quickly changed the subject and smiled, pointing to a row of clothes hanging next to him, "Brother Chen, do you want to buy some?"

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "The clothes in this store are not suitable for me. I won't wear childish student clothes like yours." He touched his chin seriously and said, "I am already an adult man. I should dress more maturely."

Xie Mingzhe laughed unceremoniously and said, "I remember when you first came to the studio, you didn't dress maturely at all, you didn't comb your hair every day, your beard looked like a middle-aged uncle, and your clothes were wrinkled like rags..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Xiao kicked over and said, "Don't mention those dark histories!"

Xie Mingzhe immediately made a zipper motion with his mouth: "Okay, you are always so handsome and mature."

Chen Xiao laughed and scolded: "Come on, you weren't in a good condition at the time either, you were as thin as a bag of bones. I took you in because I saw you were so pitiful and about to be blown away by the wind."

The two of them exposed each other's secrets while chatting and walking, and had lunch outside at noon.

After spending such a long time together, Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao have become very familiar with each other and occasionally joke with each other. In his heart, Xie Mingzhe also regards Chen Xiao as a brother. Chen Xiao is indeed the person who has helped him the most in this new world.

I just let something slip, "I don't like girls". Chen Xiao should have noticed it, but he was smart enough not to ask any more questions, so Xie Mingzhe was relieved. Anyway, he had no plans to fall in love at the moment. He had no experience in relationships. His first love and first kiss were still here, and he didn't know what it felt like to like someone. Instead of getting tangled up in these things, he might as well make a few more cards.
