Chapter 58: Informant

Astonished by the sudden recruitment, OneManMeida was speechless.

He only wanted an interview, so how did it become a recruitment?

That too with him being the target of the recruitment.

"I apologize, but I only wanted to get an interview, and not join someone else's guild." OneManMedia declined politely and stated his objective yet again.

In case his username wasn't straightforward enough, he was literally called One Man, meaning solo.

A person who enjoyed their freedom, and doing things alone without being restricted by anyone or anything.

"There's no need to decline it so fast." Xu Feng chuckled softly. "Although I did say I want you to join my guild, it hasn't even been created yet. I also don't plan on restricting any of your actions once you join my guild."

Despite the explanation, OneManMedia wasn't convinced as he once again politely declined.

Seeing how adamant he was, Xu Feng had no intention of pushing it further. There was no need to rush when attempting to recruit talented individuals.

Not to mention, he was quite sure that something must have happened to OneManMedia, otherwise, there wouldn't have been zero data regarding this player.

What he threw out was merely a bait and a lifesaver route for him that would be utilized in the near future.

"It's fine if you don't want to join my future guild, but shouldn't you offer something in return if you want an interview from me?" Xu Feng asked calmly whilst dropping a tiny hint.

Sure enough, OneManMedia instantly picked up on the hint and understood the meaning behind his words.

'He's accepting the interview and asking for something in return... This means he's indeed the key factor to Gentle Wind's success.'

After all, Xu Feng was somewhat surprised by the notification he received.

He temporarily logged out of the game once he returned to Riverwood Town, just in case he might be targeted by some Pkers. As he got out of the gaming capsule, he opened his phone message and read the text.

Zhao Kai: You were right, Feng... The school competition means nothing when they're just a bunch of ungrateful people. I left in a rage midway and bought the virtual helmet for the game.

'It seems like the timeline had truly been changed because of my actions.' Xu Feng thought to himself.

In the previous timeline, Zhao Kai never left the school competition and completed the entire process, albeit with little to zero recognition in the end.

Hence, Xu Feng didn't want him to waste time on it, even though he knew it was probably a futile persuasion.

For some reason, Zhao Kai always seemed anxious, almost as if he was pressured into needing to prove himself.

It was just a shame that he never had the chance to ask when he subsequently disappeared from his life while he got busy with the Reaver Guild.

"Let me give him a reply now." Xu Feng mumbled, sending him a text.

Xu Feng: I'm glad you have learned how pointless the competition is. So where are you now in the Divine World?

Once the text was sent, Xu Feng patiently waited for a few minutes, but there was still no response.

"Seems like he's occupied in the game." He muttered, not finding the situation surprising. Even he had to cut off from reality when doing the dungeon raid because he needed to be in full concentration and could not afford to be distracted.

Just as Xu Feng was ready to reenter the game to proceed with his next move, he suddenly heard a ringing-kind of like sound. The ringing kind of sound was projected from the door, indicating someone was entering the apartment room.

Smiling bitterly, Xu Feng realized his plan was delayed yet again, considering it was time for him to meet the owner of this apartment.

"Sigh, was it a mistake to rent this room or not?" He mumbled, feeling somewhat exhausted.
