"You brat, you've gone too far." Xiang Cangqiong, his face bruised and dark circles under his eyes, glared resentfully at Ling Yi.
"Forget about the Level-Up Pill, you... you can't handle it." Ling Yi returned these words to Xiang Cangqiong.
"Do you know how many powerful figures the Level-Up Pill can cultivate for the Great Qian Empire? You're too selfish," Xiang Cangqiong said, frowning.
"You're already in your forties, how can you still be so Tianzhen?" Ling Yi shook his head.
"You call me Tianzhen?" Xiang Cangqiong pointed at himself incredulously.
"Old Deng, let me ask you this: even if I hand over the Level-Up Pill Level-Up Pill, who will use them? Who decides who gets them? Don't tell me there are no factions or power struggles within the empire."
Xiang Cangqiong remained silent.
After a long pause, he said, "No matter how much we compete, in the end, we are all cultivating strong individuals for the Great Qian Empire; we are all strong individuals for the Great Qian."
"Since you are all powerful figures from the Great Qian, why should I give you the Level-Up Pill? Are the powerful figures I cultivate not also powerful figures from the Great Qian?"
"No, the Level-Up Pill are too valuable. Such strategic items must be handed over to the Empire for control."
"And then train the next Wu Zhiping, the next Wu Ming?" Ling Yi Taunt.
That's just an isolated case.
"You killed hundreds of people in a single day!" Ling Yi glanced at him and said disdainfully.
"..."
"I've already told you, you can't handle the Level-Up Pill."
"Are you sure you can handle it?"
Ling Yi smiled proudly, "What I bring out, I can naturally control."
Xiang Cangqiong could say anything more, Ling Yi suddenly sent him a transaction request.
"These are 100 Level-Up Pill. You say you can handle them? Then prove it to me. I'll give you a month. Can you guarantee that these 100 Level-Up Pill will be distributed fairly, justly, and reasonably?"
"If you can guarantee it, then confirm the transaction. If you can't, then go back to where you came from."
Xiang Cangqiong fell silent again.
Can he guarantee that? He can't.
This world has white, black, and gray in between.
Although Xiang Cangqiong has low emotional intelligence, it doesn't mean he has low IQ.
If we take these 100 Level-Up Pill Level-Up Pill back, those people up there will fight tooth and nail for them.
"Then how can you guarantee that the person who uses the Level-Up Pill won't be Wu Zhiping or Wu Ming?" Xiang Cangqiong asked Ling Yi in return.
"I can't guarantee that," Ling Yi shook his head.
"But the Level-Up Pill is mine, I can use it however I want. Also, don't worry, I'll only use the Level-Up Pill on my own people from now on, and I can guarantee their absolute loyalty."
"On what grounds?"
"Just open the guild list and you'll see."
Xiang Cangqiong was momentarily confused. Guild list? What does this have to do with the guild list?
He opened his professional panel, flipped through the guild list module, and immediately found the Ling Yi Guild at the top of the list.
Even a fool would know whose guild this is.
The key point is, it's only a level 10 guild!
The other 12 guilds were all level 1 guilds, making this level 10 guild stand out.
How did you do that?
"Take a look at the membership requirements and guild rules first."
The guild application Entering World displays the membership requirements and guild rules.
The requirements for joining are simple, there's only one: you just need to be an awakened professional in the Great Qian Empire.
There are no restrictions on profession, talent, age, or level; the requirements are quite lenient.
However, the application requires the guild leader's approval before one can officially Ling Yi Guild.
Currently, the number of applicants has exceeded 30 million.
Next to the application button, there is a guild task list. This task list is publicly available, and not only guild members, but also other non-guild members can receive and complete tasks.
There are three tasks on the task list.
Task 1: Collect an unlimited number of Goblin Mecha, each worth 1 gold coin.
Task 2: Collect unlimited amounts of equipment with skill attributes. Requirements: Rare Grade or lower. 10,000 gold coins per piece.
Task 3: Unlimited collection of Rare Grade and above equipment (excluding Goblin Mecha ), regardless of level, affixes, or attribute. Epic equipment: 10,000 gold coins; Epic Grade: The Myth Grade gold coins; Legend equipment: 1,000,000 gold coins.
Xiang Cangqiong was puzzled: Why would Ling Yi collect this trash?
The Goblin Mecha, although it's an epic item, is actually a worthless epic item.
It's completely unusable; it's just for decoration, pure garbage.
Rare Grade and lower grade equipment with skill modifiers? While not all of them are trash, plain and green equipment, even with skill modifiers, are still trash.
As for the third task, I understand it even less.
Not all equipment of purple rarity or higher is good equipment.
Some equipment may be of high grade, but their actual attributes are extremely poor.
Compared to some level 10 the Myth Grade equipment, which has no special attributes and whose stats are inferior to level 20 blue equipment, what else could it be but garbage?
He shook his head and continued reading the guild rules.
Xiang Cangqiong looked at the guild rules and read them softly, "Rule number one: If you leave the guild, your level will be reset to zero and all your equipment will be lost."
"Secondly, betrayal of the guild is forbidden. Anyone who betrays the guild will be forcibly eliminated."
"Article Three: Information that the guild strictly restricts from being kept confidential must not be leaked. Any leak will be considered a betrayal."
Article 4...
Xiang Cangqiong looked at Ling Yi with a puzzled expression and asked, "Your rules are indeed very domineering, but they're just rules. What's the use of them?"
Meanwhile, in an office building in the West City District of Dafeng City, Wang Qiang, the chubby guy, had just left the guild's headquarters.
"How is it?" Wang Qiang's father, Wang Jun, who is also the president of the Azure Dragon Guild, asked.
"Dad, this guild is indeed the top guild, and it is indeed a level 10 guild. Dad, my opinion is that we should let the Azure Dragon Guild join the top guild."
"I can guarantee that the boss's guild will be the strongest guild in the world, bar none."
"The future will rival that of an empire."
"Is it really that strong?" Wang Jun clearly didn't believe it.
"Because of the guild rules, I can't reveal some of the guild's secrets, but Dad, believe me, joining the boss's guild is absolutely the right choice," Wang Qiang earnestly advised.
"Is it something that cannot be said, or something that should not be said?" Wang Jun asked.
"I can't say."
"Are there any rules to follow?" Wang Jun asked.
Wang Qiang nodded.
Wang Jun gasped, "So the Legend are true. It's said that guilds created with high-level Guild Token have guild headquarters that are comparable to independent mini-worlds."
"The guild leader is the master of this small world; within the guild's territory, their words can Words Become Law."
Wang Qiang did not express his opinion; it was a guild secret, and he could not say it directly.
But his silence meant he acquiesced, and it meant that Wang Jun's judgment was true.
His Azure Dragon Guild, though called a guild, is actually just a company using the guise of a guild.
Apart from those 12 guilds—no, now it's 13 guilds—all the other guilds are the same.
In this world, the strength of these 12 guilds has surpassed that of the empire, making them a transcendent force.
It's somewhat similar to the hidden sects in the world of cultivation.
Almost all professionals consider it an honor to join those 12 guilds.
There's a saying among professionals: If I could join one of the top 12 guilds, I wouldn't even accept the title of Emperor.
This demonstrates just how powerful the 12 guilds are.
Even ordinary members of the guild have statuses comparable to emperors of an empire, let alone him, the insignificant guild leader of the Azure Dragon Guild.
For Wang Jun, this was an opportunity, a unique chance to join the guild.
"But there are too many applicants. Are you sure Ling Yi will accept our Azure Dragon Guild?"
Wang Qiang chuckled and said, "Dad, I, Wang Qiang, am the vice president of the Ling Yi Guild. I have the authority to recruit people directly!"
" Ling Yi gave you the position of vice president?"
"Hehe, pretty impressive, huh? From now on, call me Vice President."
Wang Jun's face darkened, and he raised his foot to kick Wang Qiang, but the next moment, Wang Qiang's Ying Yi and he darted three meters away.
This surprised and delighted Wang Jun exclaimed, "You little rascal, how did you do that?"
I was planning to surprise you later, but I didn't expect to be exposed so soon!
As Wang Qiang spoke, he displayed his professional player panel.
[Name: Wang Qiang ]
[Class: Demon Sword (E)]
[Level: 4 (80%)]
[Health Points: 1550/1550]
[Magic Points: 3450/3500]
[Attack: 430]
[Defense: 130]
[Speed: 12]
[Free Points: 0]
[Skills: Demon Dragon Break, Magic Flash, Magic Bullet, Magic Slash ]
[Other details omitted...]
Wang Qiang's talent remained unchanged, but it transformed him from a chef into Demon Sword.
Wang Jun had never heard of the Demon Sword class before, but judging from its attributes, he knew just how Demon Sword it was.
Even professionals at levels 30 or 40 can't compare to this attribute.
"How did you do that? Is it because of Ling Yi?"
"Yes, this is a job change scroll that the boss gave me." Wang Qiang said, his eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
Wang Jun couldn't understand it; no one knew better than him, the father, how useless his Laozi was.
What exactly did Ling Yi do to fall for this kid?
Could it be that Ling Yi has some kind of unusual fetish?
He shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea from his mind.
Regardless, his son has risen to the top in one step—the vice president of a level 10 guild! Damn, he wants that too.
"A job change scroll? Two years ago, someone found one and auctioned it for 12 billion gold coins. And that was just a regular Mage job change scroll."
"This is truly unimaginable." Wang Jun felt a little numb.
"This proves one thing: the job change scroll isn't particularly valuable in the boss's hands," Wang Qiang analyzed.
" Level-Up Pill, level 10 guild, job-specific scrolls, and..." Wang Qiang wanted to say something more, but the words caught in his throat.
Clearly, what he was about to say touched upon the guild's core secrets, which, due to the guild's rules, he couldn't reveal directly.
If you are forced to reveal it, it would be tantamount to betrayal and would be immediately erased.
"Dad, I'll get you into the guild right now. The sooner you join, the sooner you'll benefit," Wang Qiang said.
"Wait a minute, I'll call your third uncle and the others over. As for your second uncle, since he's always coveted the position of guild leader of the Azure Dragon Guild, let's just give it to him."
