Guild: Star Hall

At exactly eight o'clock, the forty people who came for the interview had already been waiting in the conference room for a while.

Yang Jian looked inside through the one-way glass, holding a notebook in his hand, writing down his judgments of the interviewees.

Looking at the forty interviewees inside, Yang Jian felt a bit speechless; he could only say they were all very ordinary!

The key was that these people kept chatting inside, and two of them, whose talents might be decent, would probably be troublemakers if hired… “Has Xia Minglan’s account been created? What’s her talent?”

“A purple healing talent. She chose a Shaman!”

Purple talent?

Yang Jian turned back and looked at Zhou Yue in surprise. She pulled a slip of paper from the folder in front of her and handed it over.

【Talent: Soul Healer (Purple)】

【Effect One: Soul Beacon, can bind three additional units. Single-target healing can additionally deal 50% of the healing amount to beacon-marked units!】

【Effect Two: Overflowing Water, excess healing can temporarily convert into maximum health, lasting 30 seconds!】

Very good, these three Xia sisters have directly gathered the three major categories: tank, healer, and damage dealer.

If a five-person dungeon were to open, these three could just waltz right through it!

Saying they are invincible might be an exaggeration, as none of them could withstand two of his arrows; at most, Xia Mingwei’s Paladin could take two more hits!

However, while these three sisters might not be the best, they were certainly more than sufficient compared to the rest.

They were destined to become the backbone of the guild!

Yang Jian looked at the conference room again.

The people inside began to whisper.

“No mistake, right? Shouldn’t a gaming studio like this just put on helmets and go farm gold? They even need an interview? Testing me on how to calculate positioning, calculate damage, when to heal while fighting monsters, and when I’ll die?”

Several girls nearby laughed!

“What are you laughing at? A few women even submitted resumes to a gaming studio, what a waste of time!”

The few girls immediately stopped giggling.

Those who submitted resumes to gaming studios were all young people.

After hearing what this person said, although they didn't speak, they all showed expressions of agreement.

Yang Jian looked at Zhou Yue’s expression beside him and mentally crossed out the names of these few people.

It wasn’t that their statements were problematic, but rather that these people couldn’t control their mouths and just blurted out whatever they thought.

After all, the studio provided food and lodging, and for a long time afterward, everyone would practically be eating and living together!

How would they get along later with such foul mouths?

“The quality of this batch isn’t good either! Even if we hire them, they’ll only be able to play a supporting role!”

Zhou Yue thought for a moment.

“Did you observe them all when you recruited people at Chuangsheng before?”

“Huh?”

“Are there any people who have both potential and a good personality?”

Yang Jian looked at Zhou Yue with a stunned expression.

“You’re so naughty, but I like it!”

After recalling, Yang Jian gave her a list.

Zhou Yue took it and immediately puffed out her cheeks.

“I knew it, the first one would definitely be her!”

Chuangsheng’s CFO — Bai Youyou!

There weren’t many people on the list, only twelve in total.

All of them were personally recruited by Yang Jian into the company.

Or rather, just like now, he provided the list, and Zhou Yue went to poach people according to the list!

As for not being able to poach them?

Are you kidding? A company started by a Transmigrator and a Child of Destiny, and they can’t poach people?

It was only when they first started the business that recruitment was a bit difficult; afterwards, people came just by beckoning, alright?

Besides, if it really didn't work, he could always offer more money!

The 3.5 billion Yang Jian got from selling his company allowed them to spend lavishly, but even now, they haven’t spent 100 million… or rather, not even 30 million has been spent yet!

Only when he truly had money did he realize that without a habit of burning through cash, it takes so long to spend it!

Zhou Yue arranged for HR to go through the motions, then kept the eight people whose names Yang Jian had circled.

For such a gaming studio, out of forty people, only eight were hired?

When the others left, they probably thought the people at this company were crazy!

Do you think you’re doing scientific research?

After sending the others away, the HR personnel were arranged to fill out reports, handle onboarding, arrange dormitories, and distribute helmets!

The subsequent matters no longer required Yang Jian and Zhou Yue to follow up.

The HR department was not set up for them to do nothing!

Zhou Yue arranged for all these HR applicants to work half a day!

They would only handle thesetrivia in the morning; in the afternoon, the company would close to level up!

When the alarm rang again, it was almost nine o’clock.

Yang Jian returned to his office, lay down in the game pod, and logged in!

Waking up again on the inn bed, he could still feel the body’s fatigue.

Fortunately, his stats were high enough; even though he woke up every hour, he had still managed to sleep for about six hours intermittently!

After a brief rest, he was refreshed.

He checked his cooldowns and swallowed a level six white item.

Hmm, he visibly grew stronger again!

Congratulations!

While he was still basking in his power, Xia Mingwei sent a party invitation!

Yang Jian joined the party without a second thought.

“Is this ‘Xia Moyulan’ the third sister?”

The party was dead silent.

“Why isn’t anyone talking?!”

“Boss, it’s me…”

Xia Minglan was frantically complaining in her heart, 'Who’s your third sister?'

Xia Mingwei: Boss, do you want to level up together tonight?

Yang Jian: No, the three of you together are perfect. You have defense, damage, and healing. You can even take on a leader BOSS. Don't delay my leveling!

Xia Mingwei: Okay!

【Ding, you have been ‘kicked’ from the party by the captain!】

Yang Jian: ... He looked at his backpack. Sitting on the bed in the inn, Yang Jian took out the guild token, clicked to use it, and created a guild.

【Ding, please name your guild!】

“Star Palace!”

【Ding, naming successful. Congratulations on creating the guild ‘Star Palace’. The current guild level is one. Please work hard to raise the guild level!】

He opened the guild panel.

【Name: Star Palace, LV1】

【Guild Leader: Tianmu Zhenjun】

【Vice Guild Leader: 0 / 2】

【Officer: 0 / 4】

【Member: 0 / 1000】

【Note: The Guild Leader and Vice Guild Leaders are management personnel, possessing permissions such as inviting, kicking, and muting, and also control over the guild vault. Please appoint with caution! Other ranks can be set independently.】

【Guild Points: 0】

【Guild Vault: Unsealed (Requires binding to a guild residence for use)】

(Guild Residence requires binding to private property.)

【Guild City: None (Guild City quest can be activated at Level 3.)】

【Guild Shop: Unsealed (Requires having a Guild City to activate)】

【Guild Skills: Omitted…】

---

【Ding, congratulations on establishing the first guild on the new server. Would you like to hide your ID?】

Yang Jian was helpless. Was there still a need to hide it?

Such a large guild couldn’t not recruit people!

“Do not hide!”

【Ding, congratulations to player ‘Tianmu Zhenjun’ for establishing the first guild ‘Star Palace’ in “salvation”. Special reward: Star Palace member limit increased by 50%, permanently effective…】

【Ding, congratulations to player ‘Tianmu Zhenjun’ for establishing…】

...The world channel exploded again.

“What, what, a guild has been established?”

“How was this guild established? Tian Mu boss, come out and tell us?”

“Stop shouting, this person is like playing a single-player game, never speaks…”

“The three unlucky guys who were killed last time seemed to be from Newbie Village 12315. It seems Tian Mu boss is there!”

Sakura First Sword Saint: “Are you people from Xia Country cheating?”

King Arthur: “No need to doubt, he definitely cheated. No one can be more powerful than the great King Arthur!”

Sakura First Sword Saint: Idiot… Cardinal Samor: “I’ll offer 100 million to buy the guild!”

Remiel Morgan: “I’ll offer 200 million, sell it to me! Price is negotiable…”

Seeing this, Yang Jian understood that the higher-ups of this world must have known something!

He was just curious why they hadn't monopolized all the helmets?

Closing the chat, Yang Jian completely ignored the commotion on the world channel.

He first opened permissions to invite Zhou Yue into the guild, then directly threw her a Vice Guild Leader position.

Yang Jian: Don’t research yet, wait until you’re tired of fighting monsters to research!

Zhou Yue: Hehe, do you think you’re caring about me? You black-hearted capitalist… Yang Jian: …I’m definitely caring about you, my heart is as clear as the sun and moon!

Zhou Yue: I’ve teamed up with Lingyun 9ge and them. They kill monsters, and I get experience!

Yang Jian: Lingyun 9ge? Calling her so intimately?

Zhou Yue: I’m so fed up. Can you please dump the dirty thoughts in your head? ‘Lingyun 9ge’ is Su Mo, a woman!!!

Zhou Yue was utterly speechless.

She didn't reply to Yang Jian anymore.

But in a little while, the guild started ringing with “ding, ding, ding” notification sounds.

Yang Jian found it annoying, so he turned off the notification sounds!

Clearing out the clutter in his backpack, Yang Jian traveled light.

He filled a green twelve-slot quiver and bought eight more bundles of arrows!

He bought two bundles of wild rabbit meat from the square.

This was mainly to feed his two carnivorous pets.

After thinking for a moment, he went to the general store and bought some fruit to take with him!

Making the mistake of not having a tank pet could only happen once.

When fighting the Kobold Lord earlier, if he had a turtle, it would have shared a lot of the pressure.

As more and more people joined the guild, the guild channel became lively.

Just as the screen was being flooded with messages, Zhou Yue cast a powerful Mute spell, and it immediately went quiet!

“Our guild currently has 27 members, far from reaching the guild’s member limit! If you have relatives, friends, or classmates playing this game, you can invite them to the guild! Later, the company will issue a regulation: anyone willing to abide by it can join!”

After saying that, she lifted the mute.
