Chapter 100: The New Guild Member, Boss Wu

After two days of grinding monsters, Zhang Shan finally reached level 27. But when he checked the experience needed to advance to level 28, he was stunned. One million seven hundred thousand—what was this for real? Was the developer not planning on letting players level up? It was definitely going to take three days to gain one level. This was still fast for Zhang Shan; others would probably need a week to level up. At just over 20 levels, how long would it take to reach 30? Forget about after 30. Could we still play normally? Looking at the level rankings, Heart Follows My Move was just a tiny bit short of experience to hit level 25, and several players in the top ten had already reached 24. The chase was so tight that the gap in levels was becoming harder to close. His high attack power was wasted; the leveling speed hadn't improved at all. I wonder how these people leveled up so quickly. Was there some secret method? Forget it. No more thinking about it. Grind for a while longer and return to the city. Today was Saturday, with a monster siege event. I hope to maintain the number one spot on the contribution rankings and win a five-star treasure chest. Maybe I can open another good item. The violent skill book that dropped last time had given him a great boost. Hope to get another bull hide item. Just as Zhang Shan was about to continue grinding, he received a call from Daoist with a Blade. Zhang Boss, I've reached level 10. Should I choose Dangyang City in Chu State? Yes. Once you're in Dangyang City, teleport to the auction house. I'll get you a healing skill. Okay. Got it. Wu Boss had finally reached level 10. No need to grind anymore. Later, during the monster siege event, I can pull him into the team to farm some boss experience. End the loading bar and return to the city. Teleport to the auction house. The healing skill is an essential auxiliary skill and very sought after. Thankfully, the supply is also decent; otherwise, it would be insanely expensive. The auction house listings started at 2,000 now, so Zhang Shan picked the lowest fixed price and bought it for 3,000 gold coins. After purchasing the healing skill, Zhang Shan walked out of the auction house and saw Iron Brother Wu Qinglin. Wu Boss had also changed his character's appearance. If not for the Daoist with a Blade character name, Zhang Shan wouldn't have recognized him. Wu Boss, you've finally come out of the newbie village. It took you four days? That's incredibly slow. Can't be helped. I can only play at night. Time is limited. The Taoist is hard to level, and I can't even group up easily. Killing monsters with a wooden sword is too slow. Zhang Shan traded the healing skill to Wu Boss. No worries. I'll take you under my wing from now on. Leveling up will be much faster. During the monster siege event, team up with us to farm boss experience. Is that okay? I'm only level 10, I won't be of much use. If you bring me along, won't others have objections? What objections could there be? You're just adding some healing anyway, not much less than others. It's fine. I'll talk to them. Let's do it. To the Windy Guild headquarters. Zhang Shan added Daoist with a Blade to the team, then teleported to the guild headquarters. However, Wu Boss couldn't enter the guild headquarters. He wasn't a member yet, and hadn't been recruited. The guild was already fully staffed; they couldn't just kick someone out to bring him in. No way to manage that. They'd have to wait until the guild level reached three in the future to invite Wu Boss. Since Wu Boss couldn't enter, Zhang Shan waited outside for a moment, asking if there were any available spots. He called Windy Blade. Blade brother, no spots in the team for tonight's event. I have a brother who just exited the newbie village, a Taoist, to farm some boss experience. Needed. No spots for anyone, but Brother Liu Guan definitely has spots. I'll tell the leader to arrange it. Thanks, Blade brother. Minor issue. Without your DPS, how long would farming bosses take? One spot is nothing. Relax, it'll be set up soon. Then I'll wait outside the headquarters. My brother can't enter the guild HQ because the guild is full and no new members can be added. We'll pull him in after the guild level upgrades. Wait, I'll check for offline zombies first, kick one out, and bring your brother in. Windy Blade was a bit too enthusiastic, making Zhang Shan feel a bit awkward. No need. At most half a month, the guild level will be upgraded. It's fine. The guild regularly cleans out zombie members—those who don't log in for long periods or never donate contributions. Okay, then. The guild matters, Zhang Shan always went through Windy Blade, feeling that this person was easy to communicate with. It wasn't that Windy World was difficult to deal with, but this guild leader was somewhat aloof. Zhang Shan rarely bothered him with small things. Not long after, Windy Blade came out of the guild headquarters and looked at Wu Boss. Liu Guan brother, this is your brother? What a cool name. Hehe. Yes, he still works during the day, so I'll bring him along for a while and see if we can make some income, then live off the game like you. With your big leg in the game, it's like playing around. Daoist with Blade, I'll pull you into the guild. Pass. After Wu Boss joined the guild, he said to Windy Blade. Thanks, Blade brother. Haha, it's nothing. Brother of Liu Guan brother is my brother. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. Thanks, big shot. Don't call me big shot. Liu Guan Bodhisattva is the real big shot. Compared to him, I'm just a pitiful little shrimp, someone who can be taken down with a few shots. Zhang Shan... Let's go. First into the guild headquarters. The activity is about to begin. With more guild members, the leader will arrange things. We'll sign up together later. Zhang Shan and the others entered the guild headquarters. There were still about ten minutes until the monster siege event started. Most players who were online had already returned to the city. Because after the event started, the city gates and teleportation arrays would close, and no one outside could come in. Ayo, these are the newbies brought by Artifact Brother. Windy Clear Clear sized Wu Boss up and said. Sister, my brother isn't a newbie. He's a dad. Don't try anything with him. Your brother is already a dad, then what about you? Single dog, one. Haha, Artifact big shot is actually a diamond king, do you want sister to introduce you to some pretty girls? Guaranteed beauties. Zhang Shan was speechless. What was she saying? Those beauties that Clear Clear sister knows won't look at a country bump like me. Look at what you're saying. Don't you know my Artifact big shot's fame has spread all over the alliance? Believe it or not, if I post a marriage recruitment post on the forum for you, the replies will blow up. Fuck, posting a marriage post for him? Way too much, I'm scared. This woman is not to be messed with, better to keep quiet.
