At a small hill in Qingshui Village, refreshing the demonized wild boars, a female warrior named Phantom City Star, holding a wooden shield, blocked the boar's impact with her shield while saying:
"Weiwei, do you think that the Fenghua Association is the gift from 'Unifying the World'?"
Not far from Phantom City Star, a female hunter named Phantom City Qian Menyu, holding a bow and arrow, said:
"Honestly, Feng Hua does bear some resemblance to Tian Ci."
While speaking, Phantom City Qian Menyu skillfully attacked the target wild boar,
"With Tian Ci having held the number one Ranger title in 'Unifying the World' for four years, his reaction speed in game operations shouldn't make it difficult to perform like Feng Hua."
"Moreover, he entered this game at the same time as us," Phantom City Star added excitedly.
"Careful!"
At the moment Phantom City Star got distracted, the demonized wild boar suddenly veered in her dodging direction.
Just as Phantom City Star was about to be knocked flying or even instantly killed, a huge fireball whizzed past her, striking the boar solidly,
"-71"
"-2"
"-2"
"-2"
The boar fell with a thud, raising a cloud of dust and landing at Phantom City Star's feet.
It was then that a female mage named Phantom City Xia Haitang walked up to Phantom City Star, looking reproachful:
"If it weren't for that critical hit, do you know you might've been dead already?"
"As our guild's main Shield Warrior, that's not a mistake you should be making!"
"Sorry, Haitang Sister, I'll be more careful next time, I promise it won't happen again."
Phantom City Star subconsciously stuck out her tongue, somewhat embarrassed, standing to one side.
The female hunter Phantom City Qian Menyu suddenly shouted,
"Haitang Sister, look quick, equipment dropped!"
At this point, Phantom City Xia Haitang also noticed the glimmer of blue light—it was actually blue equipment, and it was a weapon.
Ignoring reprimanding Phantom City Star, Phantom City Xia Haitang stepped forward to pick it up.
It was a longbow.
Phantom City Star was immediately attracted, exclaiming in surprise.
However, upon seeing it was a bow, she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face,
"Why isn't it a shield, a sword would even be great! Boo hoo hoo~~"
Phantom City Xia Haitang picked up the weapon and shared its equipment attributes:
Delicate Longbow
Weapon
Quality: Rare
Physical Attack: 16-28
Additional Attributes
Constitution: +4
Accurate: +2
Usage Level: 4
Additional Attribute: Increases Critical Strike Probability by 6%
A longbow meticulously crafted by an old hunter, possessing considerable value.
"Ah, it's mine, mine!"
Phantom City Qian Menyu was ecstatic.
Phantom City Xia Haitang didn't hesitate and handed the weapon to Qian Menyu directly,
"Nice equipment, it's yours."
Phantom City Qian Menyu immediately swapped out her equipment, feeling the faint blue glow of the longbow, she was overjoyed,
"I don't know why, but obtaining rare equipment in this game feels more exhilarating than getting divine level gear in 'Unifying the World'!"
Phantom City Star looked at the longbow with sparkling eyes,
"Such a cool weapon!"
Phantom City Xia Haitang said reflectively:
"Perhaps this is the allure of 'Glory of the Gods'."
"In previous online games, no matter how realistic, we were merely manipulating a bunch of data."
"Unlike this game, where everything feels real, as if we're playing another self in a different world."
Phantom City Star chimed in enthusiastically:
"Yeah, yeah! I even want to stay in the game and not log out."
Phantom City Qian Menyu couldn't help but retort:
"Wishing won't help, we can only be online for 14 hours a day, and we have to logout in just a few hours."
Phantom City Xia Haitang smiled,
"I heard that soon there will be game pods, and using them, there won't be time restrictions."
"Really? That's great!"
Seeing both of them so excited, Phantom City Xia Haitang said:
"Alright, let's keep grinding. We need to reach level 10 before we log out tomorrow, and then gather all the sisters to discuss establishing a guild."
At this moment, Phantom City Xia Haitang's delicate face was full of determination:
"This time I want everyone to know that our Ice and Snow Illusion City is second to none."
"So Haitang Sister, are we still not accepting men in the guild this time?"
Actually, Xia Haitang had already considered this issue before, having established Ice and Snow Illusion City for several years.
Even in the game 'Unifying the Martial World', which had been popular for five years, the all-female guild Ice and Snow Illusion City held a significant position in the power rankings.
But even so, Xia Haitang had to admit, Ice and Snow Illusion City still had a huge gap compared to those veteran online game guilds.
'Glory of the Gods' is different from ordinary online games. If we stick to only recruiting female players, we might miss development opportunities in the early stages of the game.'
After all, in this new system of online games, a small mistake could widen the gap between our guild and the established first-tier guilds.
Moreover, one has to admit that gaming is a man's forte.
If we insist on only recruiting female players, the future development of the guild will be greatly limited.
But deep down, Xia Haitang was unwilling to recruit male players, which made her very conflicted.
Thinking of this, Xia Haitang couldn't help but have a headache:
"Anyway, there's still time before establishing the guild. After logging out today, I'll discuss it with Weiwei and see what she says."
"So Haitang Sister, if Weiwei agrees, would you invite Tian Ci to join?"
To Star, Tian Ci was a god she had admired for a long time!
Since Star first played 'Unifying the Martial World', she had been captivated by his skillful PK techniques.
It's said that in the real world, this person is also a top handsome guy. Just the thought of being in the same guild makes Phantom City Star's heart race.
But nobody knows if Feng Hua is indeed Tian Ci.
And whether it can happen depends on Phantom City Xia Haitang's intention.
After all, Tian Ci's public confession and aggressive pursuit of the guild president were one of the few tabloid stories that could stir the entire 'Unifying the Martial World' game!
Moreover, in the Ice and Snow Illusion City guild, Star and Qian Menyu knew that Tian Ci and the guild president were acquainted in reality, but how well remained unknown.
After all, their guild president seemed reluctant to mention him, rarely seeing her comment on him.
But they knew if the guild president personally invited, ten to nine, Tian Ci wouldn't refuse.
Seeing the two's gossiping expressions, Phantom City Xia Haitang couldn't help but sternly say,
"Focus on grinding, and anyone who gossips again will face guild rules."
"Let's continue."
"I'll keep pulling aggro with Fireball, be ready to take over."
Phantom City Qian Menyu confidently flicked her rare longbow,
"With it now, my attack has at least doubled, our leveling speed should increase significantly."
Phantom City Xia Haitang didn't reply, but started casting Fireball Technique.
...
After parting ways with Fang Zhengrong, Lin Yi went straight back to his rental apartment and took a nice nap.
When Lin Yi re-entered the game, he suddenly saw a fireball emanating extreme heat energy coming straight at him.
Lin Yi was shocked: "What's going on?"
