I Am Lu Yang

"What?" Zheng Yuan said, eyes wide, "You're bringing someone else? Who do you want to bring?"

Lu Yang asked, "Is there a problem with that?"

"Of course there's a problem! We've already given you all the Mage equipment, and now you want to bring someone else? Do you think our team is here to work for you?" Zheng Yuan pointed at Lu Yang.

"Yeah, if it's just a low-level character, you shouldn't bring them. We already have 24 people, and they still want to get into the instance."

"You can't do this just because you're the team leader. We still need to level up."

The others in Xia Yuwei's team immediately chimed in. These people were all hired players who spoke according to Zheng Yuan's cues.

"You guys are going too far." Fierce Wine Clear Wind knew Lu Yang's identity and that Twilight was trying to recruit him. Seeing this situation, he immediately stepped forward to defend Lu Yang.

But before he could finish speaking, Lu Yang patted Fierce Wine Clear Wind's shoulder, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind looked at Lu Yang with some confusion, not understanding why Lu Yang wouldn't let him continue.

"Expert, if you need people, my boss said he can send an elite guild team over to run the instance with you anytime. Why bother with these guys?" Fierce Wine Clear Wind secretly sent Lu Yang a message. He didn't want to reveal to Xia Yuwei and the others that he was the vice-chairman of the Twilight Guild.

Lu Yang didn't want to bring Zheng Yuan and his group either. If it weren't for Lan Yu, Lu Yang would have had Twilight's elite guild team go with him. That way, running the instance would be much easier, and there wouldn't be all this nonsense. But to help Lan Yu, his closest little sister from his past life, Lu Yang could only endure it.

"Don't worry, I'll take another look," Lu Yang replied to Fierce Wine Clear Wind, turning to look at Xia Yuwei with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xia Yuwei was immediately embarrassed. She turned her head and glared at Zheng Yuan, saying, "Shut up, can you not embarrass me?"

"I… what did I do?" Zheng Yuan argued.

"You tell me," Xia Yuwei's eyes turned icy.

"Okay, fine, I admit it," Zheng Yuan immediately wilted, not daring to continue speaking.

Only then did Xia Yuwei's expression soften a bit. She turned her head and scanned the others. Those subordinates who had echoed Zheng Yuan quickly shut their mouths.

"From now on, Lu Yang is the captain of this team. Anyone who doesn't obey him is disobeying me, do you hear?" Xia Yuwei said emphatically.

"Yes, we will follow your command," Zhang Zibo and the others replied.

"Oh," Zheng Yuan replied weakly, but still muttered in a low voice, "Let's see what kind of person he's bringing. If they don't have the strength, I definitely won't let him off."

Xia Yuwei didn't bother to pay attention to Zheng Yuan. She turned to Lu Yang and said, "I'm sorry, you had to see that. Please have your friend come over. I have no problem with it. If they need equipment, we can also give them ours."

Lan Yu also walked to Lu Yang's side, pouting her small mouth and saying, "Expert, you're not angry, are you?"

Lu Yang thought to himself, if it weren't for your sake, I would have left long ago. These people don't even have the right to be looked at by him.

"How could I be? Wait for me, I'll call my friend over," Lu Yang said.

Opening the communicator, Lu Yang said to Xiao Liang, who was already online and killing Orcs in the cave hall, "What level are you?"

Xiao Liang looked at the Orcs he had just killed and said, "Boss, I'm already level 8."

"How's the equipment?" Lu Yang asked.

"I didn't expect Orcs to drop level 8 equipment. I've already collected a set, but they're all white quality," Xiao Liang said.

In the setting of Second World, the equipment dropped by monsters on the world map is in a range, fluctuating around 8 levels.

"Report the stats," Lu Yang said.

"Blood Essence 576, defense 109," Xiao Liang said.

Lu Yang calculated that these stats, with the Shield Wall, should be enough to withstand the hidden boss.

"Return to the city and come to the bank. I'm taking you to an instance," Lu Yang said.

"Coming right away," Xiao Liang said without hesitation, directly using a Return Scroll to fly back to St. Gall City.

The distance from the St. Gall City plaza to the bank in the eastern district was only a minute's walk. Lu Yang quickly saw Xiao Liang running from afar.

"Boss, I'm here!" Xiao Liang shouted loudly as he saw Lu Yang from a distance.

Lu Yang smiled and waved.

Zheng Yuan and the others knew from Xiao Liang's tone that he was an incapable person. Capable people would never call someone else "boss" in the first place, and wouldn't use that tone.

"As expected, he's just here to leech experience and equipment," Zheng Yuan said unhappily.

The expressions of Zhang Zibo and the others were also a bit ugly, and the other members of the team also looked displeased.

Just as the atmosphere on the scene was becoming a bit strange, Lan Yu suddenly asked, "Expert, what's your friend's name?"

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yang's mouth, with a slightly mischievous expression. He said, "Why are you asking his name?"

Yesterday, when they were fighting monsters, Lan Yu heard Zhang Zibo's analysis about Lu Yang and the Black Armored Warrior. She knew Lu Yang was the Mage in front of her, so Lan Yu thought there was a high probability that the person Lu Yang called was the Black Armored Warrior. Now, seeing Lu Yang's expression, she knew she was probably right.

"I knew you were up to no good," Lan Yu said, looking at Lu Yang with her beautiful eyes.

Lu Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way."

"Then tell me his name," Lan Yu pressed.

Xia Yuwei was a little curious as to why Lan Yu would ask this. Zheng Yuan and Zhang Zibo and the others also looked over curiously. They knew that Lan Yu wasn't someone who got involved in so many things.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Yang knew there was no need to hide it anymore, and he was too lazy to pretend to be a pig anymore. He thought to himself: Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger is indeed not something ordinary people can do. The setup was really tiring. I won't do this again in the future.

"Boss, I'm here!" Xiao Liang happened to run to Lu Yang's side.

Lu Yang patted Xiao Liang on the shoulder and said, "Come on, introduce yourself to everyone. They're asking me who you are."

Xiao Liang looked at the twenty-odd pairs of eyes staring at him. Never having received so much attention before, Xiao Liang blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head, saying, "Hello everyone, my name is Black Armored Warrior."

Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo were stunned, and Zheng Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're Black Armored Warrior?" Xia Yuwei asked.

"Yeah."

"The Black Armored Warrior who's second on the Level Rankings?" Zhang Zibo asked again.

"Yeah." Xiao Liang felt these people were strange.

"Pfft!" Fierce Wine Clear Wind, Zheng Yuan, and the others couldn't hold back their expressions any longer, covering their mouths and struggling to hold back their laughter. They looked at Lu Yang with surprise and admiration.

Lan Yu "angrily" punched Lu Yang in the chest with her small fist and said, "You bad egg."

Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo immediately reacted and looked at Lu Yang at the same time.

"If he's Black Armored Warrior, then you are... Lu Yang?" Xia Yuwei felt her mouth was very dry and couldn't help but swallow.

Lu Yang said, "That's right, I am Lu Yang."
