◎Knocked out◎
"Hey, have you heard? Beishan Wolf was kicked out of the guild."
"Why?"
"I heard that the guild had a lot of complaints about him, so they held a vote this morning, and almost everyone voted him out!"
"This is too tragic! He founded Bei Ming You Yu himself, how did he end up like this?"
"I don't know about that. I just heard it from the neighboring guild. They said that Beishan Wolf was in such a miserable state that even his closest brothers and women had a falling out with him right there!"
Players came and went in the mercenary guild. Even though Xia Li only had two ears, being in this crowded and noisy environment was no different from having a pair of super-hearing ears.
After leaving Morgan's house in the morning, she went straight to the Mercenary Guild. The newly purchased land in the East District was still bare, and she needed to hire some people to do the infrastructure for the house.
Infrastructure is a major undertaking. If the foundation isn't laid properly, it could collapse when people move in. In her previous life, several players in the North District had seen their houses collapse, killing them instantly, only to find themselves back in the underworld, bewildered.
The monsters in Netherworld are around level 50. I heard from players in the previous life that there is a large dungeon hidden inside. Unfortunately, Xia Li died and was reborn before she had the chance to go in and take a look.
Besides monsters and large-scale dungeons, Nether Hell also serves as a new respawn point. Previously, due to the small number of players in Miracles and their low levels, the system only opened the Royal City respawn point to accommodate players. However, since the giant boss battle two weeks ago, Nether Hell has become the new respawn point. All players over level 30 will respawn in Nether Hell upon death.
In her previous life, she heard that the players who were crushed to death by the roof beams were trapped in the underworld for a long time. Several of them died and lived again, and finally, in anger, they deleted their accounts and quit the game, and only then did they leave that hellish place.
Although she is quite confident in her own abilities, no one wants to die in this way, right? Therefore, the foundation of the house is very important, and she has to hire capable and trustworthy people.
However, there are very few people who meet her requirements. After screening the few people she knows, only one person's ID is left - Pipixia.
[Pipi Shrimp: Hey, boss, you want to lay the foundation for the house? Okay, no problem, but I'm outside right now. Why don't you wait at the Mercenary Guild? I'll be back in half an hour.]
There was nothing to worry about anyway. The equipment that needed repairing had been repaired, and the potions that needed replenishing had been replenished. Xia Li thought it would be okay to wait.
Then I heard the scene at the beginning.
Half an hour later, the mantis shrimp arrived as promised.
The exquisite armor on his body emitted an eye-catching silver light. At first glance, I thought it was a big boss from a guild, but I didn't expect that the face on the armor was actually a mantis shrimp.
"You're doing pretty well." Xia Li teased with a smile.
The shrimp, who had been walking with his head held high under the spotlight, immediately softened and said, "Oh, this is all thanks to your support, sir. Without you, I would have quit the game long ago."
It's more than just quitting the game, Pipixia thought. The star Tost was attacked by star beasts from outer space and the long red worms carried by the star beasts. Even the military could hardly resist. In just a few days, the entire planet became a nest of strange beasts. If he had quit the game and returned to reality, he would probably have become fat meat in the mouths of star beasts.
When he thought about this, and that not only had he found a way to survive in the game, but his life was also getting better and better, Pipixia couldn't help but praise Xia Li sincerely again.
Xia Li had no choice but to stop him at the right time: "I want to talk to you about building the foundation."
Mantis shrimp nodded quickly: "Of course! Leave everything to me!"
Xia Li is still assured of Pipixia's work attitude, but she will still personally oversee aspects such as material control and on-site construction.
"I want all construction materials to be high-quality. The construction workers can be NPCs or players, but their engineering skills must be intermediate. You'll be the foreman, and I'll pay you 20% upfront. Then 30% a week after work begins, and so on, until the project is completed and accepted. I'll then give you the final payment, okay?"
She hardly knew any players with intermediate engineering skills, and the NPCs were limited to the goblins living in the Ceylon Mountains. She couldn't bring Ralph and the others to the royal city, so it would be more appropriate to leave the task of finding people to Pipixia, who had a wider network of contacts.
Pipixia trusted Xia Li completely and didn't even bother to figure out how to pay for the construction and materials. He immediately agreed, "Work will start in five days. I'll contact you then."
Xia Li: "Okay."
The housing issue was settled, and next was Beishan Wolf. Xia Li pulled up her contact and sent him a message: [Are you there?]
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, there was no movement in the dialog box.
Well, someone who was abandoned by the main group probably wouldn't be in the mood to chat with her, so Xia Li decided to go to the entrance of Bei Ming Youyu's guild first.
The noise reached my ears before anyone arrived.
Xia Li struggled to push through the huge crowd and finally saw the lonely and depressed back of Beishan Wolf.
"Beishan Wolf, I want you to tell us in front of everyone today whether you were the one who watched the people in the guild die during the ruins city event?" A female voice with obvious anger in her delicate tone sounded.
Following the source of the voice, I saw that it was indeed Beishan Wolf’s girlfriend, Beishan Miao, who was only in name.
Perhaps this was not the first time that Beishan Cat questioned him with puffed cheeks, or perhaps what he saw with his own eyes in the Gobi map of the ruined city last time finally made him discouraged. In short, the attitude of Beishan Wolf that Xia Li saw today had obviously changed.
"Beishan Meow, I didn't stand by and watch you die." Although Beishan Wolf's back was thin, he exuded an aura invisibly when he spoke. That aura was rational and tough, enveloping him and making his aura subtly stronger.
Beishan Miao had clearly never seen Beishan Wolf speak to her in such a cold tone. Her breath paused, and then she raised her voice and said, "You're lying! You clearly saw us and could have helped us, but you stood by and did nothing, watching eight of our Beiming Youyu teammates perish in the man-eating vines! It cost us all a lot of resources!"
Beishan Miao was very confident. Beishan Lang looked at her coldly, moved his lips, but said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Beishan Miao became even more proud. She secretly glanced at Hei Tiangou beside her, and that glance seemed to say: You see, he doesn't dare to tell anyone about our kiss that day.
Men all care about their reputation. Who would be so stupid as to openly reveal the fact that they are cuckolded to everyone?
She was sure that Beishan Wolf would not dare to do so, so she stood on the high ground and accused him fearlessly, throwing all the blame on his head, so that she and Black Tengu could stay in the guild with a clear conscience.
"Instead of wasting time rescuing you, it would be more cost-effective to leave it to myself to clear the level, isn't it?"
A sharp female voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned to the person who was speaking, and then their expressions froze. The big boss had arrived.
Beishan Miao saw Xia Li in the crowd and her face suddenly darkened. However, the cold look disappeared in an instant. The next second, a pitiful light appeared in the corners of her eyes: "It turns out to be Sister Lihua. You came at the right time. I..."
"I'm younger than you." Xia Li corrected her.
Beishan Miao's heart sank, and he took a deep breath. "Yes, Lihua sister, you were with us that day. I think you know something about Beishan Wolf's inaction in the face of danger, right?"
Want to drag her into this, too? Xia Li thought.
"Of course I know." Xia Li smiled faintly, "After all, it was me who made the Beishan wolves watch you die without saving you."
hiss--
The whole audience gasped, and the onlookers looked at each other, looking expectantly for things to get exciting!
Beishan Wolf was extremely surprised. He turned around and looked at Xia Li in surprise, as if silently asking her why.
She didn't even need to push through the crowd, as all the onlookers were very considerate and made way for her.
She stepped forward, her eyes fixed on Kitayama Miao: "Don't forget the principle of the Ruins City: if one person on the team wins, the whole team wins as well."
What she meant was, even if she didn't save you, what would happen? As long as she and Beishan Wolf got the flag, wouldn't you all win?
Winning the game effortlessly is such a dream come true. The other players couldn't even hope for the top spot, yet Beishan Miao and the others still have the nerve to blame Beishan Lang for not saving them? Please, give them this opportunity!!!
"But, but saving one more teammate means a greater chance of victory!" Beishan Miao was furious, his cheeks puffed up even more.
Xia Li: "Beishan Wolf and I won first place, isn't that enough?"
"That's absurd. If you win, you can say it doesn't matter whether you save us or not. But what if you don't get a ranking?"
"There's no such thing as that," Xia Li said with a gleaming look in her eyes. "Beishan Wolf and I have won."
Yes, no matter what, Bei Ming You Yu did win, and the team’s name is still on the ranking list. This is something they cannot deny in any way.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, it seems like Li Shen is the one who's at a disadvantage?" Someone muttered softly, their thoughts racing. "Li Shen was the one who put in the effort, and it was Li Shen who got the name, but in the end, Bei Ming got the team name?"
"And then the remaining eight still won without doing anything."
"It's freeloading!"
Everyone was talking at once. Seeing that the situation was not right, Kitayama Miao quickly glanced at Hei Tengu.
Black Tengu stepped out and stood on the marble steps of the guild. He confidently said, "We're all brothers, so let's not talk about the past. Beishan Wolf, I just want to ask you a question. You don't deny the results of this morning's vote, do you?"
All eyes were fixed on the back of Beishan Wolf.
"No denial," he said.
"That's good," Black Tengu grinned with satisfaction. "In that case, we should abide by the will of the guild and follow everyone's ideas."
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation and turned around to leave.
"Give me back my equipment and I'll leave." Beishan Wolf said in a slightly cold voice.
He made all his equipment by himself, and every attribute in it was improved just right, which cost him a lot of time and gold coins.
The most important thing is that his staff is equipped with an extremely rare enchantment material [Demon Eye], which increases the spell attribute by 6%.
He would rarely carry such a priceless weapon with him when doing ordinary tasks, but would keep it in the guild warehouse, partly for safety reasons, and partly because he wanted to share it with other mages in the guild.
Now that he was ready to quit, he naturally had to get his staff back.
However.
Black Tengu smiled and replied, "You still want equipment? Don't you see that your guild contribution points have been deducted into negative numbers? According to guild rules, if the contribution points are not enough to deduct, they must be offset with equipment."
With a bang.
The door of Beiming Youyu Guild is closed.
No one seeks justice for the Beishan Wolf.
"Come to Fengyun Tianxia and be the commander-in-chief. I'll help you get the equipment. How about that?"
Beishan Wolf was feeling worried, but when he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw Xia Li looking at him with a smile.
