Chapter 23: Can those who are ruthless become officials?
You got promoted?
The non-stick pan was taken aback. He hadn't expected that not only would his suggestion be approved, but the Murong... no, the dragon-like Emperor Viserys in front of him would actually promote him.
Grenadier regiment, that sounds impressive, it immediately gives off the feeling of an elite military force.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
[Announcement: Player "Minister of Revenue Non-stick Pan" has been appointed Commander of the Grenadier Corps by His Majesty King Viserys III, and has been granted the honorary title: Commander of the Grenadier Corps. Bonus: While wearing this title, your favor with the King increases by 20.]
[Received a Legion Commander's Cloak, 100 Kingdom Coins, 5 Black Iron Chests, and 1 Bronze Chest as a reward from the King.]
Soldiers recruited into the legion by the legion commander (Non-stick Pan) will receive one Black Iron Treasure Chest and twenty Kingdom Coins.
Outraged! This was the most generous reward players had seen in the few days since the game launched.
Of course, from the perspective of both new and old players, there must be a few veterans who received high-level rewards, but they kept it to themselves. However, no matter what, it can't compare to the awesomeness of a server-wide announcement.
For a moment, the players of the Fire Mage Guild looked proud, holding their heads high like victorious roosters returning from battle.
Several solo players from the Fire Mage guild who were initially unwilling to join, along with a small group of two or three people, were now standing next to the non-stick pan at some point.
Not long ago, the players who had been avoiding wildfires were now looking at the non-stick pan with regret, lamenting that a great opportunity had slipped through their fingers.
As a veteran player, the player's sister-in-law had a few new scout players by her side, forming her own little group. However, compared to the grenadier regiment's title, her group was no different from street thugs.
"You should have said so earlier! You should have said you liked flowers earlier!" The player's sister-in-law looked at Viserys's retreating figure with a resentful expression.
Why does my back feel cold? Viserys frowned and thought to himself.
So the king liked strange and unusual things!
Among the players, Zhishuweiya, who had just received the reward, looked at the non-stick pan with a hint of jealousy. "I got it first, okay!" The Tear of Rhys in his hand suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.
But in an instant, the master assassin seemed to have discovered a blind spot.
Since using a non-stick pan to stage a suicide bombing can lead to official promotion, I should probably come up with some better ideas too. Speaking of which, what kind of tricks can an assassin pull...?
Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of almost all the players, all the members of the Fire Mage Guild practically swaggered out like crabs.
This scene, witnessed by the players, made them determined to do something ruthless to the king in exchange for a generous reward, or perhaps even get themselves a promotion.
After emerging from the cave, the non-stick pan, like a top student in high school, received its reward amidst the compliments of the guild members: a cloak befitting a grenadier commander.
They say clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse, and this flashy cape really does give off a certain air of authority to the non-stick pan.
"When did the guild grow so large?" Nonstick Pan wondered, looking around at the twenty or so fire mage players he knew and didn't know.
This is probably all the current players who have chosen the Fire Mage class now surrounding him, right?
Fine, I'll just cram them all into my grenadier regiment.
Now my guild must be the number one guild in the game, right?
Enjoying the compliments from the players around him, Nonstick Pan couldn't help but smile.
This game is great! I want to keep playing it!
With the players' concerted efforts, the large quantity of unsold weapons, spices, and dragon bones were sealed in the various warehouses above.
Inside a warehouse, Zhao Xiaotian watched as a dozen or so warrior players finished moving the weapons and were collecting their meager rewards. He shouted:
"Brothers!"
As a veteran player and also a warrior, Duncao held a certain amount of prestige in the eyes of these new players, and everyone immediately turned their attention to him.
This naturally includes Xian Dan, who already has his own small group and enjoys some prestige among warrior players.
"Brothers, Nonstick Pan and his gang have already transformed themselves into the Pyromancer Guild, now officially appointed by His Majesty as the Grenadier Legion. This proves that players can create guilds, and the game tacitly approves of or even encourages it!"
Everyone could not deny Zhao Xiaotian's words, but everyone knew that you, a player, had been hiding in the bushes. The reason you stood up now was simply to establish a guild and become its leader.
So here's the question: unlike the fire mage group who just want to have fun, why should we warrior players who only want to kill and fight listen to you?
Are you handsome or a veteran player? Don't be ridiculous. This game has only been open for a few days. I'm only being polite by calling you a veteran player. If I weren't, a real man would draw his sword and fight one-on-one. Who knows who would be the one lying down?
"I'm sure you guys know what I mean. I want to create a guild in the game, so we can all work together towards the same goal and acquire resources together."
Zhao Xiaotian had attended some special occasions with his father in real life, so he was not intimidated by the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes and spoke calmly and casually.
"I agree with what you said, Brother Duncao, but I also want to start a guild, so I'm sorry."
As soon as Zhao Xiaotian finished speaking, Xian Dan interrupted him with a light laugh, the future of the game already clear.
He also wanted to make a name for himself in the game and gain some benefits in real life. Clearly, a few days of interaction in the game was not enough to make him give up his unlimited potential and humble himself before others.
After Xian Dan finished speaking, the scene became somewhat awkward, but soon, Jin Peng, Brother Zhu, the FBI Director, and four or five warrior players stood behind Xian Dan.
Jin Peng and Zhu Zi are roommates, and their relationship is naturally closer than that of Zhao Xiaotian, whom they have only known for a few days in the game.
As for the bureau chief and his group, to be honest, their basic swordsmanship was taught by Xian Dan. We didn't see you crouching in the grass back then, did we? Now you're standing up and spouting nonsense, trying to fool us into working for you?
The bureau chief and the others thought so.
Most people would have been embarrassed by now, but Zhao Xiaotian's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he confidently raised his arm and said:
"I won't beat around the bush anymore. My real surname is Zhao, and my father is Zhao Hongtian, which I'm sure you've all heard of. In short, everyone who joins my guild will receive 10,000 in real life."
And there's a monthly salary, currently 3,000 per person. In just one night, everyone works together within the guild to acquire game resources, and you also get real money in the real world. Think about it!
Upon hearing this, the mockery and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the warrior players below vanished, replaced by nothing but stares.
Why didn't you just say you wanted to be a sponsor? Why all this talk about guilds!
