Chapter 167 - Twenty Thousand Gold Coins
Over the past month, these three IDs had been relentlessly pursuing Ruo Manni, making her worry that soon she wouldn’t just be dealing with a minor annoyance but something much more significant. Fortunately, Ruo Manni leveled up first because starting from third place, the rewards would only be half of what the previous rank received.
Ruo Manni was unfamiliar with these three player IDs, as they had not appeared in the novel and seemed unrelated to her friends. Additionally, even though it had been half an hour since the sixth-place player had leveled up, there were no requests to join the guild in Hebrew Adam’s guild group, so these three players were likely not their friends.
Ruo Manni inquired in the newly established guild group, and Hebrew Adam and Hua Deli promptly responded.
The young master was not like Ruo Manni, who knew nothing about them. They clearly pointed out that the player IDs “I am Senior” and “Senior’s Teammates” were from the third-year class of the Mecha Combat Department at Xuan Gu’s First Military Academy.
As for the player with the ID “Floating Light Sword Shadow,” they did not know who it was. Given the unknown origin, they suspected this player might not be from the Imperial Capital.
While Ruo Manni was looking at the information provided by Hebrew Adam and Hua Deli, she received a friend request from a player with the ID “Please Call Me Senior.” This player was indeed one of the Xuan Gu Military Academy students mentioned by Hebrew Adam and was the one pursuing Ruo Manni most closely. Since he was her senior, Ruo Manni naturally accepted the friend request.
“Junior, I am a third-year senior. His Highness the Emperor mentioned that you have half of a guild establishment order fragment. I was wondering if you might be willing to sell it to me.” The senior was clearly a straightforward person, directly stating his purpose.
Ruo Manni had heard from the world announcement that only the first player to reach level ten would receive a complete guild establishment order. The second to fifth players would receive only half of a guild establishment order fragment, and from the sixth place onwards, there were no such rewards.
This senior was the fourth to reach level ten, so he only had half of a guild establishment order fragment, while the other Xuan Gu senior, being sixth, did not receive any guild establishment fragments in his rewards.
It was clear that this senior with the ID “Please Call Me Senior” wanted to establish his own guild.
Ruo Manni couldn’t help but marvel that out of the three guild establishment orders, two and a half had fallen into the hands of Xuan Gu Military Academy students. The Xuan Gu Military Academy truly lived up to its reputation as a gathering place for elite youths from the Gus Empire.
In the novel, the probability of obtaining guild establishment order fragments from dungeon bosses is quite high.
According to the current War Realm strategy guide, the earlier a player establishes a guild, the more likely they are to recruit high-level players who have reached level ten first. With enough manpower, they can get a head start on clearing dungeons.
Ruo Manni had no ambitions to be the guild leader herself, and since she was already teamed up with Hebrew Adam, it was natural for her to join the guild he was forming. Likewise, Hua Deli had no plans to establish a separate guild.
Therefore, the half-guild establishment order fragment in Ruo Manni’s possession could be traded. This senior was very well-informed and managed to find her so quickly.
Ruo Manni thought for a moment. Unsure if Hebrew Adam had any plans for the War Realm resources she had, she decided to ask him and Hua Deli how to handle the matter by returning to the private message.
Hua Feitian replied, “If you don’t have any family or friends who need it, you can use it to exchange for resources or gold coins.”
Imperial Highness: “At least twenty thousand gold coins.”
Hebrew Adam’s attitude was clear: she should handle her own things, but he provided a confirmed price, likely because he was concerned she might not know the value.
Twenty thousand gold coins made Ruo Manni’s heart skip a beat. If the threefold gold coin card were effective for this, she would have sixty thousand gold coins.
Currently, the exchange rate for gold coins to credit points in the War Realm was 1:2, which meant selling this half-guild establishment order fragment could earn her 120,000 credit points.
With only 20,000 credit points in her account, Ruo Manni’s eyes lit up.
Ruo Manni maintained her composure with some difficulty for two minutes before responding to “Please Call Me Senior”: “Senior, the friendly price is twenty thousand gold coins.”
She wasn’t greedy. Since Hebrew Adam mentioned a minimum of twenty thousand gold coins, she decided to stick with that amount. After all, the other party was a senior, and she wanted to show some goodwill.
“Thank you, Junior. However, could you delay the payment for fifteen days?” The senior player didn’t seem to be bargaining and clearly the offered price was much lower than his expected value.
Without a gold coin card or using credit points to exchange for gold coins, this senior really couldn’t afford the payment right now. Additionally, establishing a guild would undoubtedly require a significant amount of gold coins.
However, this was only a temporary situation. Once they started clearing dungeons, their gold coin income would increase substantially. With the full support of the guild, repaying the twenty thousand gold coins would not be difficult.
“Signing a system contract is fine,” Ruo Manni agreed.
Ruo Manni had no intention of pressuring the senior. Currently, she is stuck at school, and all her expenses are covered by credits. At most, she needed credit points for online shopping, but even that was subject to inspection by the campus security office. Unless absolutely necessary, she rarely needed to spend credit points.
Since the other party was her senior, and with a system contract guaranteeing repayment, Ruo Manni agreed to let him delay the payment for half a month.
The two of them quickly signed the contract. Ruo Manni spent one gold coin to “mail” the item to the senior through the War Realm system. Within less than a second, the senior received it.
Feeling ecstatic after earning a large sum of gold coins, Ruo Manni was on cloud nine but realized she had no one to share her joy with. She regretted that Sheila hadn’t reached level ten yet, so she couldn’t add her as a friend or see her envious face. This made her happiness somewhat diminished.
At that moment, the War Realm world channel announced again: “The first guild in the Imperial Capital has been established. It is the first guild established in the Youth Group. As a reward, they receive a guild base in the central area, 50,000 gold coins for guild establishment funds, twenty green equipment pieces, twenty green robes, and twenty mecha components…”
“The first guild in the Imperial Capital has been established, becoming the first guild in the Youth Group…”
“The first guild in the Imperial Capital has been established, becoming the first guild in the Youth Group…”
Ruo Manni’s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing about the twenty mecha components. She immediately asked in the group chat with the three people: “Guild Master, where is the guild base located?”
The system announcement had mentioned that they would receive a guild base in the central area, and it should have arrived by now.
After asking, Ruo Manni eagerly waited for Hebrew Adam’s reply and even opened the mall to check out the teleportation items.
However, after five seconds, there was still no response from the Imperial Highness. Just as Ruo Manni was about to send another message, she suddenly felt as though she was being pulled by some force and was instantly teleported. When she looked around, she found herself on a city street.
Looking around, she saw Hebrew Adam and Hua Deli standing about ten meters away, intently looking at one side of the street…
