Chapter 43 A Favor

Having logged off the game, he had to go to the so-called safe zone. Gu Fei left Little Lei's Bar and hurried towards the safe zone.

On the way, he passed the guild hall and saw it bustling with people. Now that they had entered the level thirty realm, guilds in the game were springing up like mushrooms after a rain. A couple of days ago, Fireball had come over to ask Gu Fei which guild he was planning to join. Later, seeing that Gu Fei seemed indifferent to the idea, he reluctantly gave up and went off on his own to carefully select a guild.

"I wonder if Fireball has found a guild to join!" Gu Fei muttered to himself. He opened his friends list and glanced at it, but Fireball was offline. Fireball's online time was quite irregular, and it was impossible to guess what he did. Gu Fei pondered to himself, then looked up and bumped into someone.

Gu Fei staggered. He was truly helpless; his character in the game was just so weak. Fortunately, he had just put on "Eddie's Badge," otherwise, without those 6 points of constitution and strength, he might have been knocked to the ground on the spot.

"It's you!" Gu Fei looked up and recognized the person: Xi Xiaotian.

"Shhh!" Xi Xiaotian put a finger to her lips to silence him. "Help me!" She turned and ducked behind Gu Fei. With Gu Fei's martial arts-trained physique, it was extremely easy to completely shield such a slender girl.

Gu Fei was about to ask what was going on when he saw a little girl rushing to the intersection. She looked around and saw only Gu Fei, so she glared at him and said, "Hey, did you see a very pretty girl run past here?"

These kids nowadays really don't know any manners! Gu Fei frowned. The Gu family was a family of martial arts practitioners, and it could be said that they still retained many old customs. In terms of etiquette, they were much more particular than normal families. Most of the red tape was gone, but they were still quite strict about respect for elders and teachers. For example, every morning, the first thing the younger generation did after getting up and washing was to greet the elders.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question!" Seeing Gu Fei lost in thought, the little girl shouted again.

Although he didn't have a good impression of this little girl, Gu Fei still understood her feelings; she had obviously been tricked by a con artist! He nodded. "I saw her."

"Which way did she run?" The little girl looked nervous.

Gu Fei stepped aside and pointed to the spot behind him. "She's right here!"

"Ouch!" Xi Xiaotian stumbled forward. To minimize her visible area, she had tried her best to stick to Gu Fei's back. Gu Fei's sudden dodge caused her to fall forward.

Gu Fei stared at her coldly. He didn't expect that the little girl would rush forward and help Xi Xiaotian up. "Xiaotian-jie, are you okay!"

Hearing this address, Gu Fei realized he might have misunderstood.

Xi Xiaotian glared at Gu Fei and smiled at the little girl. "I'm fine."

The little girl glanced at Gu Fei and vaguely guessed what had just happened. She said with some grievance, "Xiaotian-jie, what are you doing!"

"Maomao! I really can't agree to what you guys are talking about," Xi Xiaotian replied.

"But we really can't find anyone else!" the little girl said.

"Then wait a little longer! Someone will come along eventually," Xi Xiaotian said.

"Please help us!" The little girl grabbed Xi Xiaotian's hand, shaking it as she pleaded.

Xi Xiaotian simply shook her head without saying anything. Gu Fei couldn't stand it any longer and interjected, "Why don't you just help them out!"

Xi Xiaotian glared at him. "Don't butt in if you don't know what's going on. Go mind your own business!"

Gu Fei spread his hands towards the little girl, indicating that he couldn't help either, and then continued towards the safe zone.

He had only walked about ten meters when he suddenly heard someone shout "Wait a minute" from behind. Gu Fei turned around and saw Xi Xiaotian chasing after him.

"What is it?" Gu Fei asked.

"Uh, I know you're always eager to help others, so why don't you help them out?" Xi Xiaotian said.

"What's the matter?" Gu Fei asked.

"Just to make up the numbers, to help them launch a guild!" Xi Xiaotian said.

"Just that? Then why aren't you willing to help?" Gu Fei countered.

"Me? Heh... you know what kind of person I am. Getting involved with me would cause too much trouble," Xi Xiaotian said.

"Hmm, that's true! In that case, it would be quite meaningful for me to fill a spot, saving many innocent players from being implicated by you," Gu Fei said.

"Yes, this is such a meaningful thing, you must participate!"

"I refuse," Gu Fei said.

"Why?" Xi Xiaotian asked, puzzled.

"Launching a guild only requires a mere twenty people. With the massive player base of 'Parallel World,' it's easy to gather twenty people. How could there be a guild that can't even gather enough people? Don't kid me," Gu Fei scoffed.

"The people are right over there. Go ask them yourself if you don't believe me," Xi Xiaotian said helplessly.

Gu Fei gave her a suspicious look and walked towards the little girl. "You guys... don't have enough people to launch a guild?"

The little girl nodded. "Yeah! We've been trying for a long time, and we're just one person short."

"Is it really that hard to gather twenty people?" Gu Fei couldn't understand.

"Yeah! That's why we really need Xiaotian-jie to help us!" the little girl replied.

"It's already resolved, Maomao!" Xi Xiaotian said with a smile. "We're going over there now."

"Really?" The little girl jumped up excitedly and looked at Gu Fei with gratitude. "Thank you!"

"It's nothing! A small matter," Gu Fei said.

"Let's go!" The little girl happily ran towards the guild hall.

"Let's go!" Xi Xiaotian pushed Gu Fei and followed.

The guild hall was crowded with people, and it was so noisy that you couldn't even hear yourself speak. Recruitment shouts came from all directions.

"Four Seas Guild! We've helped with all kinds of quests, come launch with us!"

"Beauty, come to our Little Guest Guild, we offer weekly salaries!"

"Warriors' Home! The guild leader is a level thirty warrior, come join us if you like warriors!"

The shouts rose and fell, completely convincing Gu Fei that although there were many people, it was indeed not easy to gather 20 people to launch a guild. And the fact that Fireball hadn't chosen a place to settle down yet was also for a reason.

"There are too many people, Maomao. Go over to Xiaoqi's side. We're going to the launch area. I'll send you a message when we get there, and have Xiaoqi accept the launch," Xi Xiaotian said to the little girl.

The little girl responded and squeezed to the other side. Xi Xiaotian dragged Gu Fei and squeezed in the opposite direction.

The area near the launch area was even more crowded. At this time, those who came to choose a guild to launch with were seen as prey by the recruiting players around them. As soon as Gu Fei showed his head, he was immediately caught. "Buddy, what level are you? Come join our guild!"

"Launch with us, launch with us!" Someone else pounced out from the right.

"None of you are allowed to snatch him!" Xi Xiaotian showed her rough side at this time. "He's mine! None of you are allowed to snatch him!" With that, she grabbed Gu Fei and charged towards the launch window.

To make things easier for players, the game sometimes had to introduce some facilities that didn't fit the atmosphere at all. For example, this launch area was a touch-screen operating panel. It didn't match the style of the whole game very well, but it was really a helpless measure.

The two of them queued up and gradually arrived at the screen. After Xi Xiaotian sent a message, she nodded to Gu Fei. "You can launch now."

"What's the name of the guild?" Gu Fei had already brought up the search bar.

"Rebirth Amethyst," Xi Xiaotian said.

Gu Fei entered the name and saw that there were indeed 19 people already launching, just one person short of completing the guild establishment. He immediately selected the launch option.

"Ding!" A system prompt sounded in his ear, and Gu Fei received a series of system messages.

The Rebirth Amethyst guild has been officially established.

Player Gu Fei has become a member of the Rebirth Amethyst guild.

For more information about the guild, please refer to the relevant guild panel.

……

"Okay!" Gu Fei said, and when he turned around, he saw that Xi Xiaotian was already struggling to squeeze out of the crowd.

Not good!! In an instant, an ominous premonition surged into his heart. Gu Fei shouted to stop her as he squeezed after her.

Unfortunately, this was a real test of strength. At this time, Gu Fei's agility was useless; he couldn't use it in this sea of people and watched helplessly as Xi Xiaotian disappeared into the crowd.

"What are you up to now!" Gu Fei pulled up his friends panel and sent a message.

"Nothing! It's a good thing!" Xi Xiaotian said.

"Explain yourself clearly!" Gu Fei said.

"Just open the guild panel and see for yourself!" Xi Xiaotian replied.

Gu Fei continued to squeeze his way through the crowd while opening the guild panel.

The levels and classes of the guild members were clearly listed before his eyes. There were all kinds of classes, and the levels... didn't seem to be very high either. Only two people were at level 30. And Gu Fei's name was listed at the very top, meaning he was the member with the highest experience. But at this moment, Gu Fei suddenly froze.

In the gender column, except for the "Male" mark behind Gu Fei's name, the rest were a series of "Female." From the second one, all the way down to the twentieth, a neat nineteen "Female."

This guild... is it all women?

Just then, a series of "xxx has added you as a friend" prompts filled the air. Gu Fei quickly scanned the messages and saw that all those who had added him were names from the guild.

The first message had already arrived: Who are you? How did you get into our guild!

Sender: July.
