MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter - Chapter 304:
Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Contract
Li Yao did not deal with things happening in the forum, not because he didn’t care, but because it wasn’t necessary to waste time and energy. There would naturally be people who would handle such matters well. Fen Yi was currently in charge of these matters and would certainly handle them appropriately.
As for Li Yao, all he needed to do right now was to maintain his lead, and continuously increase his exposure, so as to bring fame to Starfire through his own reputation.
Sister Li was in charge of the guild’s operation and development, thus, Li Yao was relieved of the guild’s affairs.
The assassin team led by Shadow Dance also played a critical role. Most of the battles against outsiders could be resolved without Li Yao’s intervention.
Then there was the fruit couple who were responsible for leading the team to clear instances, taking the position once held by Sister Li. They did an impressive job. Especially the reticent Fruit Knight, who became extremely talkative when leading, which was completely different from his usual persona, making Guardian Angel, who dreamt of becoming a team leader, depressed and heartbroken.
This was the advantage of having a team. Otherwise, if you had to do everything by yourself, you would drive yourself to exhaustion. The situation was reminiscent of when the game first began, the struggle of playing alone was incredibly tiring.
Li Yao woke up near noon, there was only a little over an hour left before the appointed meeting time.
“Are you sure you don’t want to accompany me?” Li Yao asked Fen Yi over the communicator, he was currently driving Fen Yi’s car.
Fen Yi replied, “No, I won’t. I’m supervising the forum. It’s currently in chaos, full of arguments everywhere. This controversy has aroused a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction, and black hands are probably at work.”
“There’s nothing we can do, it’s just how the game is played. It’s normal for them to hinder us. However, resorting to such a useless method, it seems they consider me a real threat,” Li Yao laughed coldly.
“More than just fear. You managed to find out their guild leader’s location, leaving them in the dark. Until they figure out how you obtained the information, they probably won’t make a move. But they won’t sit idly either, so they’re venting their frustrations this way,” Fen Yi cheerfully explained.
“That’s fine by me, at least the guild can develop smoothly for a while,” Li Yao reverted back to the original topic and said, “Remember the super troublemaker I’m meeting today? You have left me to deal with her alone, not to mention to convince her to be the manager of our club. If I can’t resist the temptation, don’t blame me.”
“Psh, do you really think she is just like the rumors say? If she had poor character, I wouldn’t have recommended her,” Fen Yi laughed and said, “Besides, what man isn’t lascivious? Can you really control yourself? Most importantly, I don’t think she’ll have poor taste like me.”
“Haha, okay, I’ll give it a try then,” Li Yao helplessly ended the communication. Fen Yi was too rational, using this method to provoke her would be nearly impossible.
However, Li Yao was somewhat looking forward to meeting this legendary figure of the past. Of course, he was not expecting anything special to happen, rather he was hoping that, with her strength joining them, Starfire could leap to a higher stage.
Li Yao sped up and directly arrived at the base’s location.
When he arrived, the doors inside automatically opened, allowing Li Yao to drive in. Then, under the guidance of the same old butler as before, Li Yao was led to a small courtyard’s living room.
An absolutely attractive woman came out to greet him. She extended her hand and flashed an alluring smile, she said, “You must be Mister Li, I have been expecting you.”
Even though Li Yao had prepared himself after seeing her photo, which had already sparked unlimited imaginations, his heart still pounded uncontrollably the moment he saw her in person. He took a deep breath and reached out his hand and said, “Madame Huang, I have admired you for a while. I did not expect to meet you in person, I apologize if I reacted inappropriately.”
Wind Flower Snow Moon’s real name was Huang, so Li Yao directly addressed her as Madame Huang.
“That’s perfectly normal. If you had remained stone-faced upon our meeting, I would have been the one on guard,” Wind Flower Snow Moon replied with a dazzling smile, she then led Li Yao to sit next to a delicate little tea table.
“Oh?” Li Yao was puzzled.
Wind Flower Snow Moon said seriously, “A man who can keep his composure upon seeing me is either impotent, or their mind runs too deep, concealing their true thoughts meticulously. Wouldn’t you say I should be cautious of such a person?”
“That makes sense, nobody can resist your charm,” Li Yao said, but was shocked inside. From Fen Yi’s introduction, he had thought that Wind Flower Snow Moon would have a crestfallen countenance, completely engrossed in her melancholy and pain. However, she had turned out to be surprisingly unreserved.
“Stop flattering me. If anything, I am seductive, not charming,” Wind Flower Snow Moon laughed lightly.
Initially, Li Yao had doubted Fen Yi’s judgment, but now, he was somewhat convinced. This woman was full of charm, not merely physical allure, but personal charm, a type of aura.
The old butler quickly served two cups of tea. Wind Flower Snow Moon apologized, “I only drink tea, I have no other drinks, I’m not sure if you are used to it.”
“I like tea too,” Li Yao took a sip of the fragrant tea, composed himself, and said, “Today, we have confirmed the purchase of this place. We had already discussed it two days ago, so I was wondering…”
“Indeed, Mister Li is a straightforward person. Let’s get to the point. But I want to make it clear that this courtyard is the best one. I have been living here and have gotten used to it. Therefore, I want to keep it, I hope there won’t be any disputes about this in the future,” Wind Flower Snow Moon also became serious and took out two contracts.
Li Yao carefully read it through. It was exactly the same as the previous one, nothing had changed, so he signed his name. The other party also signed their name.
“I wish your guild prosperity,” Wind Flower Snow Moon said earnestly.
“Thank you for your kind words,” Li Yao also directly transferred the agreed rent amount into her account.
Wind Flower Snow Moon picked up her tea cup and beckoned Li Yao subtly.
Li Yao realized this gesture meant it was time for him to leave, he quickly said, “Ah, well, there’s one more thing I wanted to discuss with Madame Huang today.”
Wind Flower Snow Moon frowned and said, “Please go on.”
“Well, Fen Yi told me that you’re currently not involved in anything. So I impudently wish to invite you out of retirement to be the manager of our club,” Li Yao felt a sudden chill in his heart. It turned out Fen Yi had never discussed this with Wind Flower Snow Moon. But since he had already spoken this far, he had no choice but to continue.
“Club manager, that’s quite a good position,” Wind Flower Snow Moon laughed, “I don’t know which large guild or club Mister Li is the owner of, or whether you’ve bought a top-ten club successfully persuading me to come out of retirement.”
Li Yao understood her meaning, if it were a top ten club, she might consider it. But if not, he might as well save his breath…
