Proposed Establishment of a Player Guild

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the Lights in the courtyard were turned on.

Why haven't they come back yet?

Bai Zhi got up and turned on the main light in the living room, glancing outside with a slightly puzzled look.

"You said they went out to buy things, what exactly did they go out to buy?"

"I'll be getting takeout, snacks, and Qingyi. I also want to visit the puppy that was taken to the Veterinary Station a few days ago... so it'll probably be a little slow."

With his feet propped up on the back of the Sofa, Xia Wen lay back on Sofa, his voice slightly weak as he was temporarily in a slump after finishing the last bag of snacks.

"By the way, they took your wallet. I'm broke; I don't even have One Yuan Coin to my name."

"Hmm... how about I make you a bowl of instant noodles now?"

Bai Zhi glanced back at the Young Girl seemed completely unconcerned about her image, and after a moment's thought, made a suggestion.

"I remember there should be a lot of instant noodles and stuff in the fridge."

"It's gone. The Tian Huo ate it all, dry food."

"Um... I bought some snacks for Qingyi and Anna before..."

"We ate Tian Huo, and that's it."

"... I should still have a few packets of Spiced Beef in my drawer. Anna came over and gave them to me earlier. I'll go look for them now."

"Oh, we finished that too. Anna brought it."

"..."

"There's nothing we can do, Tian Huo has just too much of an appetite."

Turning his head in his direction, Xia Wen solemnly held up a finger in front of him.

"She really can eat a lot; she ate almost everything edible in the house. It has nothing to do with me."

"Never mind, I still have some Compressed Biscuits here."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi took the Compressed Biscuits he had brought back from the previous Dungeon from his Inventory and threw them onto the Coffee Table.

"If Tian Huo ever wants to eat again, just give her these to chew on. One pack is enough to fill her up. Aside from feeling like she's chewing on bricks, the taste is actually not bad."

"Um... by the way, what level are you now?"

Xia Wen got up from the Sofa, picked up a bag of Compressed Biscuits from the Coffee Table, glanced at it, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned to him and asked a question.

"You can apply to create Player Guild after reaching level 15. Haven't you reached level 15 yet?"

"What, has someone invited you to join another organization?"

He then turned on all the Lights in the hallway, raised an eyebrow slightly, Bai Zhi sat down on the Sofa.

"That's right, so far I've received invitations from at least five Player Organization."

Kneeling on the Sofa, Xia Wen raised his hand with a serious expression.

"These invitations came not only from state organizations like [Relevant Department], but also from powerful non-governmental organizations like [National Beauty Heavenly Fragrance and Fragrance], and from an organization that sounds rather eerie, [Big Bird Spinning Bar]. Besides these, there were also [VV Academy] and [Black Moon Cavalry]... This shows I'm still quite sought after. (Proudly)"

"So much?"

Bai Zhi was quite surprised after hearing Xia Wen's slightly smug words.

"Of course, so when exactly are you planning to establish Player Guild? Those Large Organization not only give you a full set of Rare Level Equipment upon joining, but they also control one or two [Game], and with the [Safety Walkthrough Manual], those [Game] are perfect places to farm Equipment and items... It's a pity that joining requires signing something like Slave Contract, otherwise I would have liked to join them one by one and farm Equipment to sell..."

Xia Wen pursed his lips.

"Right now, all the Player Organization are actively recruiting new Player. Xiao Yi, for example, has already received invitations from more than ten organizations of various sizes."

"I'm currently Level 16, which meets the requirements to apply for establishing Player guild... but it seems I don't have enough money."

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Zhi nodded.

"I checked the requirements for establishing a Player Guild through the system. To apply, Player need to reach Level 15 and also need to deposit 30,000 Game Coins as a guarantee. I probably don't have 30,000 Game Coins right now, but I should be able to after the next Dungeon run..."

"You may not have that much money, but we do!"

Xia Wen seemed somewhat speechless after being interrupted.

"Establishing Player Guild isn't just your responsibility; the rest of us are also involved, okay?"

As he spoke, Xia Wen started counting on his fingers.

"If the five of us—me, Xiao Yi, Qiansè, Tian Huo, and you—gather 30,000 Game Coins, each of us only needs to contribute 6,000 Game Coins. 6,000 Game Coins... well, I don't have that many right now. I just bought a Skill Card a few days ago... but I can save them up!!"

"No, you guys just..."

"Xiao Yi and I are also Player. Although we've only been new to the game for a short time, our performance is no worse than that of other Veteran Player. Since we're a team, there's no need for us to shoulder everything ourselves."

Xia Wen held up a finger in front of him, his face serious.

"Really, Xiao Yi and I are quite strong now. I'm almost at the A-Rank Station level."

"..."

Looking at the serious-looking Young Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

While the logic is sound, being lectured by a mere Shenzhou Tablet... you've only been Player for less than half a month, how much Game Coins could you possibly have accumulated?

"How many Game Coins do you have now?"

"Uh...212."

His entire demeanor suddenly weakened, and he awkwardly looked away, Xia Wen lightly a few times.

"I originally had a few thousand, but I recently bought a Skill Card at the Auction House... It only cost 6,000 Game Coins, so it's easy to save up."

"Let's talk about it after they all get back. I'm still short about 3,000 Game Coins. You can each contribute a few hundred."

Bai Zhi rolled his eyes.

"Speaking of which, even if Player Guild is formed, what should it be named?"

"[Chūka Ichiban!]!!"

Xia Wen's expression was resolute.

"... Change to another one."

"Then... [The Clanging Rose]! I've been listening to this old song lately. 'Through wind and rain, rainbow; the Clanging Rose' has a positive and uplifting message, making it the perfect name for our guild!!"

"... If you insist on having this Type of name, then I'll take the liberty of changing it to [Black&White and His Little Friends]."

Looking at Xia Wen, who was beaming with excitement, Bai Zhi spoke softly.

"Uh... what about [Beauty and the Beast]?"

"..."
