Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Give me an explanation.”
Lin Jie stood beside Galru’s corpse in a daze, there was no joy from getting the first clear at all.
That was because Qiu Yuan was just standing in front of him.
Currently, Giant Werewolf Timmy was suppressing its restless appetite, smelling Galru’s corpse from time to time and giving a pleading look to its master.
The girl’s clean and tender face had a faint pink due to anger. With each breath in and out, her chest was moving up and down. She took a deep breath and pointed at Galru’s corpse. “Fu Sheng, give me an explanation!”
This girl was Qiu Yuan. At the instant when Lin Jie killed Galru, she jumped out of joy and immediately typed a message for Netherblue in excitement. The dungeon’s first kill was Netherblue team’s, all thanks to Fu Sheng! … Just as she was halfway typing, an unbelievable announcement had suddenly sounded!
Brotherhood? What was Brotherhood?
Beforehand, to show her trust and gratitude, Netherblue had set Fu Sheng as the highest authority of the hierarchy. If she was offline, then Lin Jie would have the rights of using any team leader’s authority, including changing the team’s name.
Therefore, because of that, Lin Jie could release the announcement with the name “Brotherhood.”
Qiu Yuan clenched the staff in her hand tightly, her eyes sizing up Lin Jie. The man that seemed to have everything under control was actually flustered at this moment. His hands hung on both sides of his thigh, and his fingers subconsciously moved irregularly.
“Everyone put in a lot for this dungeon, especially big sister, but I also know that our potions were provided by you.” Qiu Yuan gradually calmed down, smiled, beautifully yet without comparison, but with unfamiliar ridicule. “Fu Sheng, you were the first friend I met in the game. I thought that you were doing so many things for me… our friendship… you did so many things for the team. I thought we could take the first dungeon clear together!” 2
Qiu Yuan wiped her eyes. “Fu Sheng, do you know? You are the most hateful liar I have ever seen. Why did you want to do this?”
How important was glory to the team? Perhaps those players that played alone while scratching their feet1 would never understand.
Lin Jie also understood that by doing so, he would inevitably become estranged to some extent with Netherblue Team, but he had his own considerations.
Now, in the face of Qiu Yuan’s questioning, Lin Jie could actually not utter a single word. It was not something that could be explained for the time being. He just found out that his EQ was really low!
He was conflicted. Should he tell Qiu Yuan that if he had not done so, his family might be ruined?
“I have my reasons.” Lin Jie helplessly blurted out those few words. He thought for a moment and added, “I did not lie to you.”
Qiu Yuan could not help but shake her head as if she had lost all her energy. “I suddenly feel very tired, I believe Sis Netherblue will not come online either! No matter what, give me an explanation that is more reasonable, come up with a more touching story, thank you.”
Just as she finished, Qiu Yuan’s figure slowly disappeared.
Lin Jie was stunned for quite a while before he reluctantly let a long sigh.
——
After going offline, Qiu Yuan was still wearing her stay-home tank top, but she did not have any smile on her face. Remembering the scene that happened just now, she somehow felt that it was so ridiculous. 3
“Ding~ Answer the phone call little dumb pig!”
Qiu Yuan took a look at her phone and offed it silently. She curled up on the sofa, crying softly.
She still remembered that this ringtone was given to her by a boy during high school. Which girl did not fantasize about love when in the ivory tower? She was crazy about a boy before.
Every morning, she would get up early to buy breakfast and quietly stuff it under his desk quietly. Every time after physical education class, she would wear her most beautiful dress to give him mineral water. Every night during self-study, she would use the questions that she had saved up the whole day as topics… After that, the boy had given her a ringtone, but there was nothing more afterward.
After entering the game, Qiu Yuan met Fu Sheng.
The first time, he helped her, nimble and carefree.
The second time, he showed how wise and farsighted he was, gaining control of the whole situation.
After that, he even led his team to start clearing Castle Wood, providing the strategies, potions… He was like a big brother who took care of her meticulously, and she always felt lucky to know such a friend, or better say, big brother.
However, the him now, betrayed her and the team, why? For what reason?
Bang—
The door was suddenly slammed open. Netherblue silently put away the key and stood at the door.
Qiu Yuan quickly wiped dry her tears and asked while startled, “Big sis, why are you here?”
“To find you for a meal,” said Netherblue calmly. She stared at the tears at the edge of Qiu Yuan’s eyes and added, “I just knew that you girl would be like this, let’s go for some drinks.”
——————
“Wowo…” Timmy growled. The Giant Werewolf that was as tall as a person went close to Lin Jie and rubbed him intimately. Its teeth that gleamed with cold light was just nice pointing at Galru’s corpse.
“You are not allowed to eat.” Lin Jie frowned. Timmy’s creator was Galru, if his corpse disappeared, Timmy would also disappear.
Looking at the empty channel list, Lin Jie suppressed his awful emotions and organized his thoughts, subconsciously playing with his finger.
In his previous life, Lin Jie had also been a member of Brotherhood, and due to members being anonymous, he did not understand much of the situation. As to the process of how Brotherhood recruited people, Lin Jie’s memory was blurry.
He only vaguely remembered that at that time, Brotherhood’s channel code had suddenly been made public. That had attracted countless players who rushed to apply to enter, had been one of them too.
‘Channel code? Should I directly announce it now? Like how the mysterious founder did in his previous life? It could indeed attract a lot of people at a time, but it does not seem to be the result I want.’ Lin Jie hurriedly rejected this idea, thinking hard.
“Not right!” Lin Jie suddenly raised his head. “Not right!”
Yes, something was not right! From the beginning, Lin Jie had been mistaken, that was repeating the path of the predecessors! Roads were created by yourself! Only that way, one would get the results they wanted!
‘He had his way, and I have my way! The genius leader could help Brotherhood expand single-handedly, now that I’m already standing on the shoulders of my predecessors, couldn’t I expand Brotherhood single-handedly too?’
Looking at the friend list, Lin Jie stared at a glowing name in surprise.
“Old Mai, haven’t you slept yet?” Lin Jie laughed, this person was Wine God Elder.
“Nope, well I, can’t sleep when it comes to the middle of the night.” The forthright sound of Wine God Elder could be heard, “So I came into the game to hang around. Why? What’s the matter?”
“Indeed, there’s a matter.”
“It’s really when I’m sleepy, someone would give a pillow to me [1. A Chinese idiom that describes when a person wanted to do something, someone just coincidentally gives him the thing he wanted to do, meaning everything goes smoothly]! I recently applied for a mercenary qualification at the Mercenary Association. Who knew that there was no interesting task at all, and I was so bored. Say, what’s up?”
Lin Jie suddenly laughed out loud. Currently, as the players’ levels were still low, conflicts were not intense, and missions of killing players were rare. Missions like buying cannon fodders to kill the Boss, recruiting underlings to pretend to be local tyrants to chase girls, running errands… Those missions were in large amounts, and the rewards were not high either.
In the eyes of some quite conceited experts, such missions were naturally viewed as garbage!
‘Ding~.’
“Player Fu Sheng invites you to join Brotherhood (channel).”
The voice of the Wine God Elder changed. “Brotherhood is yours? The first clear…”
Lin Jie smiled slightly. “Why not just look at the numbers?”
Wine God Elder laughed too, including himself, there was a total of two people. He was undoubtedly the one who had cleared the Castle Wood first. He took a closer look at the channel rules and instantly felt the huge commerce potential.
‘If this organization develops, it will definitely become a formidable force!’
The reason why lone wolves were weak was that they were difficult to organize. No matter how bright a firefly was, could one compare it to a street light? However, when all the fireflies around the world were gathered together, even the bright moon would pale in comparison.
However, the numbers were too little! Moreover, this leader’s scheming abilities were lacking, but the rules were extremely well-organized, and no loopholes could be found.
Wine God Elder thought for a long while and finally gave his judgment of Lin Jie. ‘This is a science geek with good law results, but he has a relatively low EQ. Didn’t my younger brother also have a bunch of such rash fellows?’
He felt it necessary to remind Lin Jie and voiced out, “Fu Sheng, I must tell you something. I am a member of the Kingdom of Glory.”
“Oh, I believe you.” Lin Jie laughed.
“You brat, I really am!”
“I really believe you!”
“You-you…” Wine God Elder tried to be angry and fierce. “You brat! For how long do we know each other? I’m telling you everything about me, but what if I’m a bad person? Even if I sold you, you would be counting the money with gratitude to me. That’ll teach you a lesson!”
Lin Jie understood and said seriously, “I got it, big brother.”
Wine God Elder snorted. “That’s more like it.”
Lin Jie smiled bitterly. ‘How am I unclear of your temper?’ In the past seven years of his previous life, the legendary game career of Wine God Elder could be summarized into four words: Genuine meeting of minds!
“What do you want to do? Say it out.”
Lin Jie then expressed his thoughts. He planned to set up several levels to separate the customer base from the leaders.
For example, ordinary customers could hire members below level 2; after donating $50,000, one could become bronze customers, hiring members below level 3; the highest was up to gold level, allowing them to hire any member they wanted.
In order to ensure the activeness of high-level members, members above level 5 could receive a fixed salary every month which increased with the increase in commodity prices. At the same time, in order to ensure that they were not just there to make up the numbers, they would need to complete at least a mission once every month.
In addition, the highest level “legendary” had been set up, tentatively set to seven positions. Legendary levels did not belong to the customers, it was similar to shareholders.
After obtaining a certain share of the organization, one would have the authority only lower than the leader of the organization. In order to facilitate the development of the Brotherhood, when the National Electronics Alliance points reached more than 200,000 and the guild leader revealed his identity, one could buy into the shares using their connections. They would occupy a certain portion of the shares and sign a series of contracts. Once violated, one would be permanently hunted down by the entire Brotherhood.
Lin Jie and Wine God Elder were both legendary level and occupied two positions. The seven legendary levels were anonymous to each other, restricting and balancing one another.
“Now there is only one thing missing.” Wine God Elder was very satisfied with Lin Jie’s strategy, nodding his head and said, “Fame! Pursuing fame and profit, fame comes first, and profit comes later! With just an ordinary level first clear, I am afraid that it is difficult to get approval from the public.”
Lin Jie nodded and said, “This requires the elder brother to go into action. Recruit some people from the Mercenary Association, I will provide the low-level Poison-Antidote Potion to clear the Difficult-Level dungeon in the name of Brotherhood. At the same time, I will provide any necessary technical guidance.”
“Difficult-level…” Wine God Elder nodded. “Okay, I will put the name of the Brotherhood up on the mercenary list.”
Difficult-Level was no simpler than the Simple-Level.
Since the Werewolf Hunter Card was a unique item that could be used once, it was impossible to anger Timmy with the same method. The final Boss’ battle could not be avoided, and how would the rise in difficulty just be three times higher?
That was a tough job!
A light suddenly flashed, it was Qiu Yuan that was back online. “Fu Sheng.”
“Oh my, WTF, there’s still the voice of a girl?” Wine God Elder gave a deep smile and hung up instantly.
“I want to ask you one thing…” Qiu Yuan’s face was red, her eyes blurred, the slightly drunken girl’s charming appearance made her tug on one’s heart even more. “Did you…”
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, he had temporarily forgotten that Qiu Yuan had questioned him previously. He asked urgently, “Qiu Yuan, your timing was just nice! You have not led a team before, right?”
Qiu Yuan blinked her big eyes and her voice was full of laziness, “No.”
“That’s great, do me a favor. If a player who has not led the team before leads the team to clear the dungeon, Werewolf Timmy can spawn again, by that time you would lead the team…”
“Why should I help you?”
With a sentence from Qiu Yuan, Lin Jie was stunned.
She gradually approached Lin Jie, her exquisite girl’s body scent surrounded Lin Jie’s nose. Her delicate skin was about to touch his lips… Qiu Yuan opened her little neat white teeth and bit Lin Jie’s neck firmly.
She said vaguely, “Liar, all liars! You have caused me so much pain by lying to me…”
With those words, Qiu Yuan’s figure gradually disappeared.
As Lin Jie looked Qiu Yuan disappearing, he speechlessly opened his hand. ‘What was this?’
