Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

A group of rookies was circling Chen Ziyu, eager to join his guild for protection. Yet, Chen Ziyu smiled as he checked each of the requestor’s message and accepted only powerful players with more than Level 10.

After around an hour of reviewing the messages, Chen Ziyu turned his head around to face the NPC, Lu Mo who had a spectacular aura but little expression on his face.

“Big Brother Lu, how much do you know about the Ghost General Cha Na, who forcibly occupied the East Side of Beiqi?”

Hearing the mention of the Ghost General Cha Na from Chen Ziyu, Lu Mo’s expression turned vengeful, “My stepfather’s cultivation toward Cha Na went to waste. For his own benefits, he chose betrayal! I can’t wait to kill him with my own hands!”

As compared to the other NPCs, Chen Ziyu felt that Lu Mo, who often lingered around the Mansion of the Dead, was more like a human with flesh, blood, and feelings.

“Big Brother Lu, we must avenge the betrayal. Do you have more details on the situation at the East Side? I would like to go there and have a look myself!”

Lu Mo deepened his gaze toward Chen Ziyu and sighed, “The Ghost General Cha Na has 100,000 ghost soldiers under his flag. He has great power and has taken over the East Side through the Liuli District of the Acheron Sea. If you were to investigate, please take care of your own safety and don’t try to be a hero!”

Chen Ziyu nodded solemnly and immediately sent a voice message to the guild chat, “To all members in the Great Dragon Guild who are above Level 15, please gather at the Mansion of the Dead after dinner. Let’s complete the exploration quest together!”

Wang Chao: “For the King of Beiqi’s glory!”

...

Seeing the replies in the guild’s chat room, Chen Ziyu grinned slightly and went offline. He planned to have a quick dinner so he could arrange the guild formation to prepare for their very first team quest.

After Chen Ziyu left, quite a number of people gathered around Lu Mo.

They were mostly female gamers. As they were totally mesmerized by Lu Mo’s handsome look, they could not stop bothering Lu Mo and chatted with him.

For the past few days, Lu Mo had been pretty popular among the vast number of female gamers. Besides, there were memories of the Land of Beiqi implanted into Lu Mo and with these, he had helped a lot of the players with their questions so he could pass as a village head of the newbies village.

To enrich the pleasure of gaming among the players, the second NPC had already been created by Lu Wu.

The name was Mysterious Merchant. The identity setup of this NPC was a lucky merchant who had been wandering around the Land of Beiqi. Any player who found this merchant would be able to purchase rare items that could not be found in any of the shops.

After browsing through the everyday lives of the gamers, Lu Wu shifted the God’s Eye toward Ye Xue’er who had bought some soul coins.

As the Ghost Mountains appeared in front of his eyes, Lu Wu’s gaze froze.

Because deep in the forest, there was unexpectedly a troop of ghost soldiers who were riding on wolves.

From the looks of these ghost soldiers, Lu Wu remembered the Ghost Wolf Riders from Cha Na’s army that was introduced by Bei Li earlier.

At that moment, deep in the woods of the Ghost Mountains, Ye Xue’er and a hundred men were charging toward the Ghost Wolf Riders. However, there was an obvious gap between the power of both parties, so many players were being killed continuously.

Despite that, the players were not backing out. Instead, under the command of Ye Xue’er, the players kept on going forward again and again like maniacs, until they finally dispersed the formation of the Ghost Wolf Riders.

“Kill all these Beiqi betrayers!” along with Ye Xue’er’s deafening cries, players from the Guardian Angels charged forward again, surrounding the Ghost Wolf Riders at the center and struck them fiercely.

Finally, amidst the crazy ambush from the players, a few of the Ghost Wolf Riders could not take the attacks anymore and fell from their wolves. All that welcomed these riders then were heartless strikes and thrusts right where they had fallen.

“They are running away. Circle them now, we can’t let any of them leave this place!”

Seeing that the Ghost Wolf Riders had already given up on the battle and were trying to leave, the players naturally would not let them go. They should know that many of their brothers had perished just to kill these Ghost Wolf Riders.

There was a lot of hullabaloo as the crowd formed a circle and trapped the Ghost Wolf Riders right on the spot.

Accompanied by the howls of the giant wolves, the players repeatedly pulled back their circle, and the few Ghost Wolf Riders looked terrified.

They could not seem to comprehend the reason why there were so many uncommon ghosts. On top of that, these ghosts had claimed themselves as the King of Beiqi’s descendants.

After the death of the King of Beiqi, all the subordinates should have betrayed the clan, but the appearance of these people was extremely weird.

“Not one is to be forgiven! Kill!” with Ye Xue’er’s roars, the players speedily pulled back their circle again. The berserkers on the frontline accepted the Ghost Wolf Riders’ stabs and strikes with their bodies as they were so eager to cut the betrayers that they did not mind dying from the attacks.

Amidst the madness, the small troop of Ghost Wolf Riders finally fell apart. As the last Ghost Wolf Rider was struck down by Ye Xue’er’s attack, the entire troop of Ghost Wolf Rider bit the dust.

The players cheered and Ye Xue’er grinned blissfully.

“Hey, something is coming out from the ghost soldiers!”

At that time, the corpses of the Ghost Wolf Riders were disintegrated by the artifacts and only their armor and weapons were left on the ground.

“Wow, Level 10 White Armor, Level 10 Blue Sword!”

Seeing that the items dropped were artifacts that could be worn, the crowd quickly went into an uproar as everyone tried to squeeze forward to pick up the items.

Yet, Ye Xue’er did not stop them, because she knew that the players deserved it. Besides, she already had a full set of Level 10 Red Armor on, so she couldn’t care less for these common items.

After the distribution, Ye Xue’er turned to face the crowd and swung her dagger boldly, “Brothers, you may have your meal now. After dinner, let’s depart to Liuli District on the East Side and look for more ghost army betrayers to kill. By then, we will have Blue Weaponry for everyone. As soon as I reach Level 20, I will create a guild. We will be the first guild ever in this game. Are you all confident!”

“Yes!”
