Chapter 118: Guild House

After only burying 100 heads, no one else dared to fight against him. So Ryu had to leave his artwork at the 100 heads. He made sure to take a screen shot and saved it to the cloud before leaving Roland Village. "Looks like I shouldn't have any issues with people trying to kill me any time soon." It only took a few hours in game time with Ryu using his new movement technique to reach Flim village. Once he reached there, he headed straight for the trade skill guild and asked for President Chen.

"Long time no see!" President Chen said with a smile as he sat down. 

"Yeah, things took a bit longer than I had expected. Although it seems that no matter what, it would have taken a while. This is the silver grass you asked for." Ryu answered as he placed the ten sweet silver grass on the table.

"Haha! Yes, this is it! You are really my savior!" President Chen let out a jolly laugh as he looked at the sweet silver grass. He quickly took out the pill cauldron and handed it over. "This here is called the Flaming Silver Cauldron. It is yours as promised." 

*Ding!*

[Unique Chain Quest: The Untimely Hero]

[Part Completion: Enter the silver springs and bring back 10 Sweet Silver Grass.]

[Reward: Fifty Silver and the Flaming Silver Cauldron]

[Completed!]

"Now then, since you have completed this portion with ease, then that means you can help me with something else."

[Unique Chain Quest: The Untimely Hero]

[Part 2 Completion: Find and retrieve the tooth of a fire dragon from the Molten Plains.]

[Reward: 100 platinum, Ancient Map part]

Ryu read the new quest and let out a sigh. First, he had to fight a flood dragon to get some grass, and now he had to fight a real fire dragon for its tooth! He could already feel the headache coming on. But Ryu still put a smile on his face because the reward was quite intriguing. The money wasn't what interested him. It was the map part that interested him. "I will get you the tooth as soon as I can."

"Haha! I knew I could count on you. There is no rush. I trust you will return soon with the item." President Chen said with a smile. 

Ryu said a few more words to the president before leaving. He headed straight back to Rolland Village, where he found his art display already in ruins. The people who had once gathered outside the city were also gone. "Well, now that I am back, I guess I will set up some new bounties." Ryu walked straight to the mercenary guild, and five minutes later…

[The Mercenary Guild has just placed a new bounty out on player: BurningToast. All mercenaries take up arms and help fulfill this bounty! 100 gold for each kill!  Up to 1000 kills! Get your kill in to secure that 100 gold before it is too late.]

[The Mercenary Guild has just placed a new bounty out on player: Blade. All mercenaries take up arms and help fulfill this bounty! 100 gold for each kill!  Up to 1000 kills! Get your kill in to secure that 100 gold before it is too late.]

[The Mercenary Guild has just placed a new bounty out on player: KillerT. All mercenaries take up arms and help fulfill this bounty! 100 gold for each kill!  Up to 1000 kills! Get your kill in to secure that 100 gold before it is too late.]

Hearing the announcements, Ryu felt much better as he walked out of the mercenary guild. As he did, he heard a familiar yell. "Ryu, you fucking bastard! I know it was you!"

"BurningBitch, why are you running? You know you're going to die. Why die tired?" And behind him once again, this time waving his sword around as AzuritePaladin. 

Staring at the scene as the two ran by with almost one hundred players following closely behind, Ryu scratched his head. "What did he expect? Unlike him, I can walk around freely. There is nothing stopping me from placing a bounty on the three of them." 

While BurningToast was running for his life. KillerT and Blade were sitting in a back alley hiding under a pile of trash bags. "Fuck! I knew we shouldn't have fucking tried to help that bastard, now look at what happened! Now we are fucked yet again!" 

"Let's somehow sneak to another town and stick more bounties on that fucking BurningToast guy! It's his fault we are in this mess again!" KillerT said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, let's wait until dark, then slip out of town." Blade readily agreed. He hated himself for letting BurningToast talk him into confronting that monster again, but the money he offered was too good to pass up. 

While three idiots were trying to deal with Ryu's counter attack Ryu arrived at the property that was to be their guild's first new home. Once he entered the lot, he suddenly remembered he forgot to buy land back in Flim! "Ahh! I'm so dumb."

"What's wrong?" Chi walked up behind Ryu and hugged him from behind.

Ryu sighed as he answered: "I forgot to buy us a property in Flim."

"It's fine. You can do it after you help me. I need you to help me decide on a few things for the guild house. I got quite a few blueprints here, but I am not sure which to pick from."  Chi said as she took out a stack of blueprints from her inventory. 

"Hmm? There is a three story mansion with many crafting rooms and bedrooms. There is also a meeting hall, a kitchen, a cellar, and also a dungeon further down. Let's go with this one here. It seems to be the best one." Ryu pointed to one of the blueprints.

"Then this one it is!" Chi took the other ones and stuffed them in her inventory before carefully rolling up the last one and placing it into a slot of its own in her inventory.
