A Newbie's Day (4)

Lonely as Snow was overjoyed, carrying the Adamantine Armor with some difficulty, while the dejected Lucky Emperor followed beside her.

However, before he could even leave the crowd, several high-level players, some wearing armor and others draped in robes, blocked his way.

Lonely as Snow could tell at a glance that it was someone from a powerful guild who had come to their door in person.

The leader politely extended his hand to Lonely as Snow.

"Hello, I am Feng Yun, the vice president of the [Royal Authority] guild. Would you be interested in discussing a deal?"

As a newbie, Lonely as Snow dared not be negligent and quickly shook hands with the person.

"What deal?"

He had already guessed the other party's purpose, but he still asked.

Feng Yun smiled slightly and pointed to the armor in his arms, "I think you also know why we came here."

"This heavy armor requires at least 18 points of strength to wear. Such good equipment won't be of much value in the hands of a newbie like you."

"Instead of dragging along a useless gold burden, you might as well sell it. Our [Royal Authority] guild is willing to offer 200 Gold Coin, which is enough for you to squander at this stage."

Lonely as Snow suddenly remembered something from the Single guide. "Those big guilds often take advantage of their monopoly position to bully newbies who don't know market prices. Never sell good equipment to them, especially [Royal Authority].

Thinking of this, Lonely as Snow decisively said, "I will not make a move at this price."

Feng Yun pushed up his glasses and chuckled as if he had expected this, "You must have read Xin Gou's strategy guide."

"To be honest with you, apart from our [Royal Authority], no other guild can afford this level of equipment. 300 Gold Coin is the maximum we can offer. I advise you to quit while you're ahead, or you'll only regret it."

After hesitating for a moment, Lonely as Snow gritted her teeth and said, "I won't sell."

A hint of impatience flashed in Feng Yun's eyes, but he still maintained his basic composure and said with a smile, "Well then, I'll give you a special privilege and allow you to join our [Royal Authority] guild as an exception. We will do our best to provide you with the best treatment, but the condition is that this armor must belong to the public."

The Lucky Emperor standing nearby was a little envious and whispered, "Can I join you?"

Lonely as Snow, is incredibly conflicted at this moment.

This is a chance to join a top-tier team; once you're in, you'll immediately reach the pinnacle of game resources.

Even Singo, who was quite disgusted with these large guilds, had to admit the special nature of these powerful families and their immense influence.

However, he noticed the disdain in Feng Yun's eyes, as if he had already firmly grasped Feng Yun's control.

A sudden surge of inexplicable anger rose in Lonely as Snow's heart; this was his rebellion as an ordinary newbie.

"I don't need it."

He said it word by word.

Feng Yun's face immediately turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll see. I want to see what you can do with a piece of unusable equipment."

After saying that, he turned and left with a group of underlings from the [Royal Authority] guild.

The Lucky Emperor standing next to him said anxiously, "Dude, are you crazy? You finally got a good item, why are you going against the big guild?"

Lonely as Snow said in a low voice, "They look down on people, what can I do?"

"You've really messed up. That's Royal Authority. If you offend them, those people could block the city gates and kill you!"

"How about we go and seek refuge with someone else?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Royal Authority isn't the only powerful and wealthy guild."

The two turned around and saw the mage player in the long robe who seemed crazy. At that moment, he had a smile on his lips and exuded the aura of a reclusive master.

Lonely as Snow dared not be negligent and quickly asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The mage stretched out his hand, revealing a wand inlaid with a crystal ball and an exquisite coin emblem.

"I am Charlotte, the president of the Magic Coin Guild."

"I heard you're looking for a guild?"

Lonely as Snow cautiously replied, "Yes, but I don't want to find a domineering guild that embezzles its members' property."

Charlotte smiled and said, "Of course, all the members of our guild are like-minded partners."

"In that case, welcome to the Magic Coin."

The Lucky Emperor had already put on a fawning face, showing no trace of his previous conflict with Charlotte. He weakly asked, "What about me? Can I join too?"

Charlotte said, "Of course, our guild loves recruiting promising newcomers."

The two new players cheered immediately, after all, [Magic Coin] was a well-known guild, and their Magic Office in the city was extremely popular.

Charlotte looked at the two of them with a meaningful smile.

He first looked at Lonely as Snow and thought to himself, "The guild is full of squishy mages, we've been lacking a tank for a long time."

"Let this newbie advance to Paladin, cast a Shield Spell, and then stand there wearing Adamantine Armor. He'll be the perfect meat shield!"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring him in and let him take all the damage by himself?"

He then looked at the Lucky Emperor, his smile becoming somewhat distorted.

"And this so-called ' Lucky Emperor,' hehe, now there's finally someone in the guild who's even unluckier than me!"

Behind that smile lies Charlotte's unresolved emotional trauma and a somewhat psychologically disturbed personality resulting from excessive gacha pulls.

The two were still unaware of Charlotte's unusual behavior and were still immersed in the joy of joining the guild.

Inside the palace, Keosius lay sprawled on the Iron Throne, browsing the panels in the void.

"Of the total 50,000 players, more than 30,000 chose to be born in the Embers of the Burned Kingdom, while the remaining nearly 20,000 players are evenly distributed throughout Anzeta."

"It seems the publicity efforts weren't strong enough—"

"But it doesn't matter. These players will soon be back under my control. As long as you remain in the Anzeta Great Wasteland, you will not be able to escape the kingdom's influence."

"It is time to begin the war of conquest—no, the war of liberation of the entire the North."

Keosius gently shook his wings, the scales shimmering, and flames seemed to burn in his pale golden pupils.

He has been recuperating in the palace recently, researching ways to break the curse and suppressing his destructive desires. He has not made a move for a long time, but when the Anzeta War begins in full force, his battle will be inevitable.

The voice of the Tiefling Guard came from the doorway.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mezhuolash requests an audience, saying he has important information to report."

"Let him in."

Keosius gave the order in a calm tone.

It seems there's new intelligence from Nocturne's side. I believe that Grand Duke Leo in the south should also realize that war is about to begin.
