Background
Guan Canghai organized a temporary guild through a group chat before Era had an official guild system. His companions knew little about his real life, but described him as wealthy and said he often sent red packets in the chat 22 44.

- After a ritual increased his physical attack, speed, defense, dexterity, and reaction by 517 points each, he helped restrain Sykes and kicked off the boss’s helmet 45.
- He pulled a greatsword from the arena floor and used it to decapitate Sykes, then destroyed the head to finish the fight 46.

Story Role
Potion Trading and Recruitment
Guan Canghai bought all three kinds of medicine at Lin Yu’s market stall for 633 silver and 65 copper, then added him as a friend and offered to buy future stock directly 21.
He initially offered Lin Yu an annual salary of 200,000 and guild-supplied materials to refine potions. Lin Yu declined, but continued trading with him. For a later batch, Guan Canghai offered 100 silver per Simple Blood-Activating Potion and 1 copper per portion of the other powders; he arrived an hour late after needing time to gather the money 22 25 26.
Guan Canghai later recruited level-ten players for a boss hunt. After testing Lin Yu’s spells and seeing his enhancement magic, he invited him into the party and renewed his guild offer. Lin Yu accepted in exchange for freedom and a steady supply of crafting materials, promising to provide some crafted equipment and potions in return 41 42 43.
Hunting Sykes
Lin Yu led the party to the Beast Arena and prepared a ritual to strengthen the four other members. Guan Canghai assigned combat roles, exposed Sykes’s head by kicking off his helmet, and used the arena’s greatsword to secure the first kill and its King’s Soul 43 45 46.
Guan Canghai organized the loot and proposed giving each party member one bottle of each potion. The group agreed that he would receive the first equipment set, while Lin Yu would take the extra Dimensional Bags. They then repeatedly defeated Sykes until everyone had enough King’s Souls for advancement 47 48 49.
On the return trip, a future version of Lin Yu briefly stopped time and slapped Guan Canghai before disappearing. Afterward, Lin Yu asked Guan Canghai about his advancement plans and began explaining abilities the party had not known about, including Battle God Armor and Natal Divine Abilities 49 50.
