“Damn it!” Yang Qi was greatly surprised, “Didn’t the Glorious Guild not have anyone who completed their second advancement at that time? How dare they attack a level 72 Golden Boss?!”

“They found a rare item somewhere that temporarily negates the monster’s tier suppression!”

“What?!” Yang Qi’s expression changed. “Doesn’t that mean they still have a chance to attack high-level bosses?! You scoundrel, you didn’t establish a guild immediately. What if they beat us to it…”

“Hehe!” Lin Zheng let out a sly laugh, “Don’t worry, I already looted that item from them. It’s impossible for them to attack high-level bosses again anytime soon!”

“Alright!” Yang Qi slapped Lin Zheng’s thigh, her face full of excitement! “With this, we’re sure to be the first to establish a guild in Tianshuang City! Dominating Tianshuang City is just around the corner!”

“Don’t get too happy too soon. A level one guild can only recruit 250 people. It won’t be easy to develop it to a point where it can contend with the Glorious Guild!” Lin Zheng couldn’t help but remind the triumphant Yang Qi. Unexpectedly, Yang Qi smiled indifferently and said, “That’s no problem at all! As long as we establish the first guild, driving the Glorious Guild out of Tianshuang City is just a matter of time!”

“I really don’t know where your confidence comes from!”

“Strength! That’s the key to solving all problems!” Yang Qi said with full confidence, “As long as we establish the first guild, we’ll be able to recruit the top-tier solo players in Tianshuang City! Even if not all of them can join our level one guild, many will observe and wait for our guild to level up. This is a virtuous cycle! As long as most high-end players are in our guild, no matter how formidable the Brilliant Godslayer is, it won’t be able to cause much trouble!”

“That makes some sense!” Lin Zheng nodded, agreeing with Yang Qi’s point of view. Just then, Dong Dao came out after changing his clothes. Hearing that they were going to establish a guild, he felt a surge of emotion. As expected, they were experts! They already had the strength to obtain a Hero’s Token right after their second advancement! At the same time, Dong Dao’s heart warmed, and he stepped forward to ask, “Can I join your guild?”

“You’re about to complete your second advancement, of course you can!” Lin Zheng happily patted Dong Dao’s shoulder! Immediately, this young man also broke into a joyful smile! This was an opportunity. He had to work hard to build the number one guild in the entire server! By then, that woman who looked down on him and left him would regret abandoning him! Thinking of this, Dong Dao couldn’t help but clench his fists!

The rain stopped. Dong Dao bid farewell to Lin Zheng and returned to the Film Academy, while Lin Zheng and Yang Qi began to discuss matters of establishing a guild. Establishing a guild was simple, but managing and developing it was not so easy! Although Yang Qi spoke with full confidence, she was, after all, just a gaming expert and not very skilled at management! So, the two immediately made a decision: after going online, they would immediately pull the Young Lady over to be the guild manager! Among the people they knew, no one was more reliable than her! She was absolutely three hundred percent suitable. If they didn’t have Xiao Mo’s number, they would have called Xiao Mo immediately to discuss it!

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the game to reopen. The two, accustomed to being immersed in the game, found it quite a struggle to get through a day! In other words, they were bored to death! Well, even though Yang Qi was a girl…

Fortunately, before the two could completely lose their minds, the game’s opening time arrived. The two, restless with boredom, immediately jumped into their gaming pods, connecting and logging in in one smooth motion! A moment later, they both appeared in Bei Hui Valley! However, Bei Hui Valley had undergone a drastic transformation! The place where they stood had become a beautiful city, where Tear Clan NPCs came and went, presenting a vibrant new atmosphere! Before the two could recover from the shock of this new city, the system prompt sounded!

“Your past game records have been queried. You have gained 353,400 reputation points! Total reputation accumulated: 353,400 points!”

“Hey—I actually have 350,000 reputation points, Liu Mang, what about you!?” Yang Qi said in surprise. Yang Qi recovered her composure and said, “A bit less than you, 310,000!”

“Daddy!” A joyful, sweet cry rang out as Xia Mo immediately pounced into Lin Zheng’s arms. Lin Zheng hugged the Xiao Jiahuo, happily kissed her, “My treasure! Daddy missed you so much!” Pressing his forehead against Xia Mo’s, Lin Zheng said with doting affection, “Eat as much as you want today, and Daddy will make more for you when you’re done!”

“That’s great! Thank you, Daddy!” Xia Mo happily pecked Lin Zheng, then obediently sat on Lin Zheng’s shoulder to eat!

“It’s not that I want to interrupt your father-daughter bonding, but Xiao Linzi! Shouldn’t you give me the Hero’s Token, you scoundrel?!” Yang Qi urgently called out from the side.

“What’s the rush? The game just reopened. No one’s competing with us yet!” Though he said that, Lin Zheng still took out the Hero’s Token and traded it to Yang Qi. When Yang Qi saw the Hero’s Token, as Lin Zheng expected, she was instantly dumbfounded, “Damn! This Hero’s Token looks too ridiculous!”

“Who cares if it’s ridiculous or not, as long as it can establish a guild! Here, 5,000 gold coins for you. With your 5,000, that’s exactly 10,000 to establish the guild!”

“Darn it! 5,000 gold coins, not even warm yet and I have to spend them!” Yang Qi traded with Lin Zheng, looking conflicted. After that, Yang Qi said, “I’ll go back to Tianshuang City to establish the guild first!”

“No rush!” Lin Zheng said, “The game just reopened. Many people aren’t online yet. Don’t establish it now and then fail to recruit powerful players!”

“That’s true!” Yang Qi nodded, abandoning the idea of returning to the city to establish the guild.

At this point, Lin Zheng suggested, “Let’s go! Let’s explore a bit first. This Tear City has just been established, so we might encounter many good things!” Yang Qi raised her hand in agreement with Lin Zheng’s suggestion, and the two began to explore Tear City.

Walking on the marble-paved road, looking at the Tear Clan people with their somewhat exotic charm, Yang Qi couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly, “You know, if such a perfect race existed in reality, would there be a great war to seize them?!”

“As long as they are born in a powerful country, they won’t be afraid of others attacking them!” Lin Zheng said with certainty, “Like our Huaxia!”

“You never know, maybe it’s their own people who will target them!”

“Alright! Stop thinking about such random things!”

“Then let’s talk seriously!” Yang Qi immediately changed the topic, “Haven’t you already awakened your race? Check what your race introduction and talents are?!”

“Oh, right! I hadn’t thought of it until you mentioned it!” Saying that, Lin Zheng opened his attribute interface and found that a race option had been added after his character name. It was a blue teardrop with the words “Tear Clan” written inside. Selecting the race name would display the race’s information—

Tear Clan: A race formed from the tears of the Rain Master, possessing an extremely high affinity for water, thus highly skilled in various ice-attribute combat techniques! Racial Trait—All combat skill attribute attacks are converted to ice attribute, ice attribute skill effects are increased by 30%, and attacks also carry a freezing effect, with a certain chance to reduce enemy movement speed by 20%, and damage taken from fire and ice attribute attacks is halved.
