"Doubted, Passive Value +2."
"Are you crazy?!"
Xin Gugu was the first to voice his doubts. Xu Xiaoshou had genuinely startled him.
This guy wasn't stupid. How could he say something like that? Establish a top-tier faction? Never mind whether the few of them had the strength to found a faction at all—once they did, they would naturally be pushed onto the crest of the waves.
