Chapter 216: Urgency (Additional release for 2150 monthly votes)
Li Yao took a break, ate some food, and then intentionally groomed himself nicely.
He hesitated, and ultimately didn’t make the call, sitting by the window instead, gazing at the endlessly flowing traffic, Li Yao’s heart was once again in turmoil.
Li Yao originally planned to find the person who had been supporting and comforting him in his previous life after some time, but now, seeing Feng Yi every day, things became complicated.
For Feng Yi, they had only been apart for just over a year, but for Li Yao, they had been separated for eleven years, almost twelve years.
Back then, Li Yao was able to hear news about Feng Yi from time to time, but in latter years, Feng Yi stopped commentating and there was no news at all.
Li Yao thought he had faded his feelings for Feng Yi, coupled with the constant care of another woman, his yearning for Feng Yi was buried deep within his memories.
Just like first love, after many years, all that remained was a faint, indescribable emotion.
However, lately, being together with Feng Yi and her group, his sealed memories were slowly and steadily resurfacing. Li Yao even felt a bit at a loss as to how to face it.
After a long silence, Li Yao eventually dialed Feng Yi’s number.
“Come down, I’m right outside your building.” Feng Yi said as soon as the call connected.
From the video call, Li Yao could actually see the environment outside his own home from behind Feng Yi’s car window.
“Okay, I’m coming down.” Li Yao ended the call.
Feng Yi’s car wasn’t too expensive, only two hundred thousand credits or so, barely noticeable in a big city like Pearl.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward. After a while, Li Yao forced a laugh and said, “You’ve had this car for years, yet you haven’t changed it.”
Feng Yi laughed and said, “Some things can be replaced, others are always hard to let go of, don’t you think?”
“Yeah,” Li Yao coughed and said, “As long as you like it.”
Feng Yi didn’t dwell on it: “Registering a guild company is easy, I’m familiar with the process, with current efficiency, it can be done right away. If you’re not busy, why not accompany me for a meal and a walk around? I haven’t walked around for a long time.”
Li Yao paused for a moment, then said, “Okay.”
Feng Yi revealed a bright smile, saying: “It’s been a long time since we’ve watched a movie.”
“Today, whatever you want to do,” saying this, Li Yao felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest. He felt relaxed all over but also as if he had lost something.
After dealing with the company matters, the two seemed to have been transported back to the old days, walking around, eating, and watching movies together.
It wasn’t until it was dark that they parted ways. Li Yao returned to the game, putting his complicated emotions aside.
“Yaozi, you’re finally online. If I didn’t know about you being with Feng Yi, I would’ve been impatient to ask you to login. So, did you two make up?” Zhao Lei incessantly asked.
“I guess we made up.” Li Yao diverted the topic, “Why were you in such a hurry to contact me?”
“Damn it, what do you mean why was I looking for you? Flash Fruits, those guilds somehow found out that I have Flash Fruits and want to acquire them, isn’t that why I contacted you? Too many guilds have contacted me, whether to sell or not, whether to raise the price, that’s all for you to decide.” Zhao Lei discontentedly said.
“Sell, why not. Sell directly to those large guilds, you can even save 5% in commission fee, definitely a more economical approach. As for the price, three Gold Coins is the limit, don’t raise it, otherwise they won’t accept it. Start selling from today, when someone wants to buy, you sell.” Li Yao advised.
“Alright, your word is all I needed.” Zhao Lei replied.
“Well, it would be best to sell some on the auction house too, keep it under a thousand batches.” Li Yao contemplated for a moment before saying.
“Didn’t you just say to save on the commission fee, why do you want to sell on the auction house now?” Zhao Lei was puzzled.
“To give those wealthy individuals and solo players a chance. Even if we earn a bit less Gold Coins, we can’t let those large guilds take the lead all the time, right?” Li Yao reasoned.
“Okay, I got it.” Zhao Lei ended the private chat.
After a while, High and Wide messaged: “Bro, cough cough, we’re running short on Flash Fruits, can we get more?”
“You guys are really tearing through them, aren’t you?” Li Yao replied, speechless.
“We have no choice. When other guilds are going crazy, we have to get a few more teams together to challenge the Master Level. You don’t know, one team finally got through the Master Level Corpse Ignition, I drooled at the sight of that thing.” High and Wide lamented.
“So soon?” Li Yao frowned.
“What do you mean soon? They’re not fast enough, it’s the Dark Grapes. This guy is just like you, a Hunter. He somehow found a special Red Spider whose web is even better than your Crystal Spider. He called four Necromancers to summon Stone Demons as focal points. They wiped a few times before they finally managed to kill the Ignition.” High and Wide shared.
“Oh, it’s him.” Li Yao seemed to remember. Dark Grapes’ technique was pretty good. With a suitable spider and a thorough understanding of Li Yao’s technique, killing the Corpse Ignition wouldn’t be too difficult.
However, Li Yao sighed, he had underestimated these large guilds. They had managed to mimic him successfully in less than two days.
“I’ve sent you the list, you decide what to do with it. But make sure to get me twenty batches, no, forty, I’ll be waiting online, it’s urgent.”
Apparently, High and Wide was really in a hurry.
“Alright, I’ll mail it to you right away.” Li Yao laughed.
“Cough, excuse me for asking, how did you level up yesterday?”
“We just took advantage of the terrain, big bro, are you taunting me? Don’t tell me your guild didn’t go to buy the information from my members.” Li Yao joked.
“Cough cough, I don’t handle these matters.” High and Wide awkwardly deflected.
“It’s alright, I understand. That’s all.” Li Yao ended the call. After so long, it would be strange if those large guilds still didn’t know how he was leveling up fast. High and Wide was probably just tacitly reminding him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked.
“I’ve sent the invoice over, you deal with it.” Following that was Feng Yi’s call.
“Alright, I understand.” Li Yao nodded.
“Just now, I noticed a place in the suburbs that seems pretty good. It’s a small complex of buildings, the price is a bit high, but it perfectly suits your requirements. The guild and clubhouse won’t have to separate and can easily fit.” Feng Yi said as she sent over a series of images.
There were office buildings, relaxing locations, accommodation buildings. Both the facilities and conditions were top tier. Li Yao was even a bit tempted.
Once the guild is stable, the core members need to be called to the company’s location to strengthen unity. Especially the team members, they need to live together to build rapport and understanding.
“Alright, I’ll ship first, we’ll check it out tomorrow.”
Li Yao stated, he didn’t have too many credits at the moment. Now that he has some surplus of Gold Coins, Li Yao planned to sell some. This would shore up his credit points.
After shipping, Li Yao kept receiving notifications on his bat, that Gold Coins had been credited into his account, his purse once again bulging…
