Chapter 10: Guild Battle, Skill Book Exchange



System prompts rang out one after another.



“Ding! You’ve killed the White-named player『Fan Chen Zhantain』.  Sin value +1.”



“……”



In a flash, Su Ming’s ID turned red and his sin value hit 11 points.



Pu tong*.



[TLN: *sound of something falling in the water.]



The Stormwolf Leader’s corpse landed onto the ground, followed by many items scattering around.



“Ding! Aaron’s Town Announcement:”



“Congratulations to『Cang Hai』for being the first player to kill a leader-level monster in Aaron Town. You have received the following rewards: 50 gold, 100EXP, and +1 free attribute point.”



Those rewards weren’t bad.



Most importantly, he gained 2 free attribute points.



Su Ming put that matter aside and ignored it. He then reached his hand out to touch the corpse.



“Ding!”



“You have obtained: 1 gold,『Storm Boots – Bronze』,『Storm Double-edged Sword(Bronze),『Gale Gem(Bronze)』



“.……”



Seven additional pieces of equipment dropped.



Two Bronze, one Black Iron, and four White equipment.



No wonder players were too keen to kill the boss——  the rewards were so generous.



Su Ming had just put away the loots when Ling Chen, Ye Ren Yan, and Yue Qinglan walked towards him with their respective teams.



Every priest player from the teams looked at Su Ming with envy and admiration.



To be able to kill the boss while preventing the assassins from making the last hit.



He was simply the role model for their generation of priests!



“Brother Cang Hai, we met again. The battle just now really opened my eyes.”



Night Blade’s Ling Chen smiled heartily.



But his smile disappeared when he saw the staff in Su Ming’s hand. Didn’t this staff belong to their boss’s younger sister?



Their heart felt uncomfortable.



It was undoubtedly their staff and yet they could only watch as he used it.



“You three, what did you find me for?” Su Ming casually glanced at them.



Ye Ren Yan said with a good-natured smile, “Cang Hai, do you want to join the Ye Ren Guild?  Although we are not a big guild, we are ranked within the Top 14 among other major guilds in the Dragon Kingdom, and we have good resources in all aspects. If you’re willing to join, you’ll be paid 10 million a year and the equipment and props will be provided to you prior!”



For the guild, it was worth the cost to draw in top experts.



They could increase the success rate of triggering raids and getting the first kill of bosses; all those things that could boost the guild’s reputation.



At the same time, professional gamers also have the celebrity effect of attracting casuals to join the guild.



Moreover, Su Ming was a Priest and yet he was able to outdamage other DPS classes.



This kind of contrast allowed Ye Ren Yan to see the immense value contained within him!



Su Ming had barely spoken a word when Yue Qinglan started talking.



She looked at Su Ming with her clear eyes and said gently, “Cang Hai, I also invite you to join the Immortal Shadow Guild.



On the basis of conditions of【Night Blade】, an additional 5 million annual salary will be given! Immortal Shadow is the ninth ranked guild and can provide even more resources.”



Ye Ren Yan sneered.



“What’s the use of your guild ranking ninth,” he continued, “Other than the top three, the strength of the top twenty guilds are similar, with just different focuses. Truly speaking, I’m afraid that Immortal Shadow’s strength would not even rank fifteenth.”



“So what? It’s a matter of capability,” Yue Qinglan said nonchalantly.



Previously in the game, many players of Immortal Shadow had been dismissed because of their ill intentions and the guild was now desperately short of main DPS.



Yue Qinglan and Ye Ren Yan started arguing with each other.



Night Blade’s Ling Chen didn’t interrupt because he was merely a tiny team leader in the guild and wasn’t qualified to invite anyone.



The nearby players were struck dumb.



What was with the godlike treatment?!



The top brass of two major guilds were competing for a passerby player. When had such a thing ever happened in the past?



They didn’t even have the qualifications to join【Immortal Shadow】and【Night Blade】.



They were so envious.



“Ahem, ahem..….”



Su Ming lightly coughed a few times, interrupting their conversation.



Soon after, he solemnly said, “Sorry, I won’t be joining any guild for now.”



“Huh?”



The two became stupefied.



Never had they expected that after having gone through the troubles of wasting their saliva, all their talking was for naught.



“Cang Hai xiong di, won’t you consider this more carefully?” Ye Ren Yan asked reluctantly.



“No thank you!”



Su Ming’s tone was resolute.



Their so-called conditions weren’t a bit attractive to him at all.



As long as Su Ming was willing and his strength was up to standard, he could always recall and acquire the artifacts and divine techniques from his memories any time.



“If you change your mind in the future, you can contact me again. The door to Immortal Shadow would always be open to you.”



Yue Qinglan and Ye Ren Yan gave up on recruiting Su Ming.



“By the way…… Do you want to purchase equipment?”



Su Ming asked.



He had a lot of equipment in his backpack that he couldn’t use, and keeping it would only take up his space.



Since it was all Black Iron and Bronze grade equipment, selling it to the guild wouldn’t matter to him.



Su Ming only wanted to gather 20,000 gold as soon as possible to complete the hidden quest.



Su Ming became gluttonous when he thought of the effect of that Gold-grade Priest skill.



“I only accept gold as transaction payment. In case you have a Healing skill book, you can also purchase this Bronze-grade Storm Double-edged Sword.”



Su Ming voiced his requirements before displaying the attributes of the『Storm Double-edged Sword(Bronze)』.



“These attributes are several times better than the broken sword I have.” Ye Ren Yan became excited. With this weapon, his upgrade speed was bound to be at least 50% faster.



Thinking of that, Ye Ren Yan quickly asked, “Cang Hai xiong di, I’ll exchange 2 Bronze-grade attack skill books, plus 4,000 gold coins to purchase the Storm Double-edged Sword. Is that okay?”



Su Ming shook his head and replied, “I only need Healing skill books.”



“That won’t do?”



Ye Ren Yan became incomparably disappointed.



“I have a Bronze-grade Healing skill book.” A voice entered his ears.



Su Ming followed the sound, leading him to look at Night Blade’s Ling Chen, who was holding a light green book in his hand.
