104 Game Hall
We are very professional; we handle both killing and burying.
"..."
As his voice fell, the players who had been blocking his way exchanged glances for a moment, and then gradually moved aside to make way for him.
Qin Fu'an lowered his hand that had been waving hello, and unsurprisingly saw people gathering around him from the other side.
"Mr. Qin."
"My superior would like to invite you for a cup of tea."
"We hope you can cooperate and not make things difficult for us."
The leader of the players walked up to Qin Fu'an, speaking respectfully and politely, but unable to hide a hint of fear in his eyes.
As Qin Fu'an sized him up, he introduced himself as a member of the Changsheng Guild, a high-ranking member responsible for external affairs.
"You probably don't know, but our Changsheng Guild accepts nearly a thousand low-level players and hundreds of high-level players, including top-tier players at the fifth or sixth rank. We have no shortage of them."
"Our guild leader and vice-leader are both level seven players. Changsheng Guild has been operating in the game for decades and is already a top-tier guild that ordinary players would kill to join."
The speaker's arrogance and pride were so obvious, but according to what he said, with such a powerful guild behind him, he was able to reach a mid-to-high-level position, and he certainly had the right to be arrogant.
Unfortunately, what he thought was a display of strength that would make Qin Fu'an aware of his situation was nothing more than a noisy clown in Qin Fu'an's eyes.
The boy, who had been listening intently with his eyes lowered, blinked slightly. Amidst many ambiguous gazes, he smiled and asked, "So what?"
"You—!!" The player's expression suddenly darkened, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Mr. Qin, you are a smart man, and you must admit that in this strange game, you can't go far by fighting alone. There is a small misunderstanding between us and Mr. Xie, but we should be able to clear it up soon."
"You are just someone who has been mistakenly dragged into this misunderstanding. We don't want to be your enemy, so we not only invited you, but also Mr. Xie, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding. This way, it will be better for both of us."
As he spoke, he stepped aside slightly to make way for him, saying, "Mr. Qin, please."
"You said you went to invite Xie San?" Qin Fu'an stood still.
His repeated lack of cooperation made the players surrounding him look rather uneasy. Seeing that people from other guilds had also arrived, the leader's tone became somewhat anxious.
"Mr. Qin, if you have any questions, we can discuss them on the way. I believe you will soon see the sincerity of our Changsheng Guild..."
His unfinished words gradually fell silent under the increasingly cold gaze of Qin Fu'an's green eyes.
“My time is precious.” Qin Fu’an walked towards him, and as he unconsciously took a few steps back, he said slowly, “I don’t think I’m good enough for you to notice me yet, and I don’t think you can offer me a price that will tempt me. I don’t care about any kill order.”
The tall, long-legged boy stood before the other, head bowed. As the other's hair stood on end in alarm, he spoke gently, "Your guild may send people to kill me. I'll accept my fate if they die, but if they fail to kill me..."
He chuckled softly, saying each word clearly: "Whether it lasts long or declines, I will personally take charge."
At the same time, the other guild members who heard the same words also stopped in their tracks as he looked up. In the end, they watched helplessly as the person who had tried to recruit or threaten them walked calmly and steadily through the dense crowd, leaving behind only a tall and slender figure that left a deep impression on everyone.
...The rise and fall of the Changsheng Guild was something that neither the guild leader nor any of its members had ever imagined. They never thought that one day they would hear a low-level player threaten their guild so casually, yet the thought sent chills down their spines.
On the other side, a gloomy and listless boy leaned against the sofa like a boneless creature. His pale face only made his features appear more vivid. He yawned like a sleepy black cat, completely ignoring the noisy advice from the person opposite him.
"Mr. Xie!!" Even the most good-tempered person would be infuriated by his uncooperative attitude and couldn't help but raise their voice: "Are you even listening to me?!"
The sudden high note didn't startle Xie Zeyuan. He lazily raised his eyelids and slowly replied, "You're too noisy."
The other person choked, speechless.
But he quickly took a deep breath and, suppressing his emotions, persuaded, "Mr. Xie, our Qingyun Guild had a small misunderstanding with you before, but since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine to clear it up. As long as you agree to join the Qingyun Guild, we will definitely pour a lot of resources into you, and even have high-level players carry you through dungeons and provide one-on-one training..."
As he repeated those benefits and conditions for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Xie Zeyuan raised her hand to interrupt his rambling.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The boy coughed softly, his energy clearly diminished, and his voice became somewhat unsteady: "I've already heard the same thing from the other three guilds. Why don't you four guilds discuss it internally first, and then come to me if you offer the highest price?"
Qingyun Guild players: "..."
"So it seems you're determined to fight us to the end?" His tone finally turned serious.
Xie Zeyuan stood up, his exceptionally thin figure resembling a ghostly spirit that seemed to float on the ground. His dark eyes stared intently at the other party for a moment before a sinister smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I hope you won't be stingy and that you'll come to kill me one after another."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin and I are both very professional. We'll handle both the killing and the burial."
...
After emerging from the Nirvana Pool, Qin Fu'an checked his player panel as usual.

Looking at the densely packed information on the screen, Qin Fu'an frowned slightly.
There are too many props.
He rarely used items in the dungeon. What he actually wanted more than any purple or blue items was the nutrient solution.
When I left the instance last time, I smuggled 10 vials of nutrient solution to Little Cloud's herb, but the herb could not extract much vitality from the 10 vials of nutrient solution.
In Fairy Tale City, Qin Fu'an used up the energy blocks he bought before entering the dungeon. He thought he would have to buy more next time, but he found new energy blocks in the item orbs that were the dungeon rewards.
He carefully examined the various items on the panel, and after a moment's thought, he opened the friends list, which he thought he would never need.
It was only at this moment that he saw the message sent by Bai Song.
Bai Song: Boss, I've given your account information to Ya Ke and Chen Qi. They should have added you as a friend by now, right?
Bai Song: Boss, I'm going into a new dungeon. I've teamed up with a few players. I hope I can come out alive (clenches fist).
Bai Song: Phew... I narrowly escaped death. It's a pity that the escape gear I just bought is gone. But being alive is better than anything else!
Bai Song: Boss, Chen Qi and I have decided to join a guild. The game experience for solo players is too bad. If we can have a guild to back us up, maybe we can struggle to survive a few more dungeons.
Bai Song: Chen Qi wants to go to Long Night Stars. We've discussed it. Ya Ke is also in Long Night Stars, and the environment there is relatively relaxed and harmonious. So we're on our way to register now.
Bai Song: Holy crap! I saw your live stream, you're still as strong as ever (thumbs up). It's a pity we're too weak to be your teammates.
Bai Song: Boss, I'm going home now. We'll let you know as soon as we hear any news. Of course, if you need anything from us, please don't hesitate to ask!
The long message panel finally slid to the bottom.
Qin Fu'an looked at the message reply section, thought for a moment, and replied with a message:
Are you short of props?
After replying, I exited and accepted friend requests from the other two people.
Then send a message to an online ghost:
"Are you done talking?"
The other party replied very quickly.
Master Xie: Done (ok).
Third Master Xie: After a series of peaceful negotiations, we have successfully gained a large number of enemies (heart emoji).
Master Xie: Mr. Qin, I got the title of Funeral Attendant in the last dungeon. What are your thoughts on that?
Master Xie: By the way, could you lend me some money? I've got my eye on something, but it's a bit expensive, and I'd like to buy it as a gift for my master.
The constant notification sounds were a shock to Qin Fu'an. He had never realized that Xie Zeyuan, who was so lazy offline and seemed to hate talking too much, was so talkative online.
So he simply muted the other person and sent them his location unilaterally.
It's called a positioning site, but it's really just a game store...
The next second, he looked up and met Xie Zeyuan's gaze, who was looking down from above.
-
"Are you sure this is something you bought to honor your master?" Qin Fu'an looked at the item Xie Zeyuan had chosen to buy, his expression slightly subtle.
Before the two of them, a set of... black mourning clothes was prominently displayed on the display stand.
Xie Zeyuan nodded: "Of course, look at its price, who can say I'm not filial?"
A whopping 400,000 ghost coins, that's quite a generous donation.
I wonder what his master will think when he receives it.
Qin Fu'an stopped offering his opinion, transferred some Ghost Coins to him, and watched as he clicked to buy without hesitation.
As for how to bring the items from the game into reality?
Everyone here is discerning and wouldn't do something like exposing each other.
Looking at his balance, Qin Fu'an decided to buy something. Although he didn't need to give anything to anyone, he still had a baby bird at home that was crying for food. He figured he might as well take advantage of the game's freebies.
[Author's Note]
I wrote this chapter on and off for three and a half hours. My stomach hurt, my head hurt, and I was completely exhausted from writing.
