The third vice president, Qingqing Zijin

Yang Jian: Since President Mo, such a big boss, is willing to grace me with her presence, I'm certainly eager to accept! But I'm afraid old President Mo won't part with her!

Originally, when Mo Suqing hinted at wanting to change jobs, Yang Jian was somewhat indifferent.

Now, his attitude has completely changed.

Golden Talent?

Forget about her being a commoner now; even if she was taken, he would have to find a way to poach her!

Mo Suqing: ...President Yang is joking. I am completely free now. As long as I'm not an eyesore at Tianhai Group, I can go wherever I please!

Yang Jian: Oh? Old President Mo is willing to let a pillar of the company like you leave?

Mo Suqing: Leave? No need to flatter me too much. I was simply exiled. If I could be sensible enough to leave Linhai City, it would be even more to his liking!

Yang Jian: My condolences...

Mo Suqing: Condolences for what? Can you even talk? He at least gave me three personal points of Tianhai's shares, so I can't curse him...

Yang Jian was no longer calm. Was I the clown all along?

Tianhai Group, under Mo Suqing's leadership in recent years, had a market value approaching 1.5 trillion!

Otherwise, the 3.5 billion acquisition wouldn't have been paid so readily!

It's a pity, old Mo still had the limitations of his generation. Despite such obvious differences in his children's abilities, he still firmly chose his son to inherit the family business!

One can't say he was wrong... After all, if he hadn't been foolish, would such a beautiful woman with a Golden Talent be so easily available to me?

Yang Jian: Since that's the case, our guild is still missing a Vice Guild Leader. President Mo, are you interested?

Mo Suqing: Didn't we agree last time not to call me President Mo?

Yang Jian: Su Su, if it weren't for the fact that the Guild Leader position couldn't be given away, with your ability, being a Guild Leader would be more than enough!

Mo Suqing: You change your mind so quickly... But playing games shouldn't affect my leaving Linhai, right?

Yang Jian: Leave? Where are you planning to go?

Mo Suqing: I've taken over hundreds of thousands of acres of tea mountains that the group contracted in Yunnan. There are mountains, lakes, and land. I plan to go there to retire and play games!

Yang Jian: ...And no cultural tourism projects like a cluster of guesthouses?

Mo Suqing: You're very interested in my property! Do you want to marry into my family?

...He decisively changed the subject!

The forest is so big; I can't hang myself on one tree!

Yang Jian: Are you online now? I'll invite you to the guild!

Mo Suqing: ID: Qingqing Zijin, Nature Summoner!

Yang Jian: Wait!

Currently, both Vice Guild Leaders of the guild are internal members of Lingyun Studio. Suddenly promoting an external Vice Guild Leader requires an explanation to the other two!

He called Zhou Yue and Bai Youyou to his office and then told them about Mo Suqing's current situation!

Zhou Yue was noncommittal, weighing the pros and cons.

Bai Youyou, on the other hand, let out a cold snort: "Men are all terrible. Is having a son or a daughter really that important?"

Yang Jian looked at Bai Youyou, utterly bewildered.

Do you even hear what you're saying? How can you point at a monk and curse a bald man?

"I wasn't talking about you, you don't have children!"

Bai Youyou saw Yang Jian's expression wasn't right and offered a dry explanation!

Yang Jian felt that this sentence was better left unsaid!

However, fortunately, Yang Jian and Zhou Yue both knew about her past experiences and Bai Xiaobai's former plight, so they didn't really argue with her.

"So you want to trick her into giving up that land? Investing in and building a miniature town under the guise of a cultural tourism project is indeed a good idea..."

Zhou Yue thought it over carefully; it seemed there was nothing wrong with it!

"But isn't the distance too far? From the easternmost part of Xia Country to Yunnan!"

Bai Youyou raised a different opinion.

It was just her and Bai Xiaobai in their family, so wandering the world was no problem.

But what about the locally recruited staff?

"No matter what, we can't get land to build a city in reality anyway, so we might as well treat a dead horse as a living one!"

Zhou Yue made up her mind. It was just a blank check for a Vice Guild Leader position, wasn't it?

Give it!

"No... How are you so sure that everything those NPCs said is true? What if it's just a developer's prank?"

Zhou Yue and Yang Jian exchanged glances. Yang Jian's gaze stopped her from sharing further!

"Just assume we're rich and willful..."

After Yang Jian logged in, he directly added Qingqing Zijin as a friend, with the note "Yang Jian"!

[Guild Message: Congratulations to player 'Qingqing Zijin' for joining Star Palace!]

[Guild Message: Guild Leader 'Tianmu Zhenjun' has promoted 'Qingqing Zijin' to Vice Guild Leader!]

When the first message appeared, the guild didn't react much!

But when the second message announced that a newcomer who had just joined was quickly promoted to Vice Guild Leader, it was quite eye-catching!

Fortunately, everyone in the guild knew that Star Palace had the makings of a studio, so no one raised any objections.

After all, many casual players joined for the guild's public benefits.

For example, 20% off equipment repairs, or a two-hour experience buff every day!

He glanced at the number of guild members; it was already 1373!

It wasn't far from being full...

A Nature Summoner, to put it simply, is someone who contracts wild monsters as fighters!

And Mo Suqing's Golden Talent perfectly demonstrated what violent aesthetics meant.

[Talent: Spirit of Summoning (Golden)]

[Effect One: Bestows 150% of its own attributes to summoned beasts!]

[Effect Two: For every ten levels gained, one additional summoned beast can be added!]

[Effect Three: Fusion Evolution! Fuse two summoned beasts of completely identical race and talent level, with a chance to obtain an advanced summoned beast!]

When Yang Jian saw this, he felt that these Golden Talents truly each had their own amazing aspects!

It was a pity he only had a pitiful Blue Talent...

"Welcome, Vice Guild Leader!"

"Welcome, Vice Guild Leader! Vice Guild Leader, please post a picture..."

"Welcome, Vice Guild Leader! Vice Guild Leader, please report your measurements..."

Yueyin Qingya: "? Who asked for measurements just now?"

"I was just joking!"

Yueyin Qingya: Joking with whom?

"I was wrong..."

Zhou Yue noted down this person's ID; he would be unlikely to be entrusted with important tasks in the future!

Yang Jian also didn't comment further on the matter. With three beautiful female Vice Guild Leaders in the guild, daring to flirt like that meant this person was not fit for important use!

At this moment, Yang Jian had already pulled Mo Suqing into a small group of ten.

All of them were guild administrators.

The four Guild Leaders and Vice Guild Leaders, and 6 officials!

Almost all of the guild's management was here.

Mo Suqing was already level four, and there was no way to change Newbie Village now.

Fortunately, her talent was truly powerful, and being a rich woman, she wasn't short on money, so she had a full set of Blue equipment!

With the talent boost, even though she only had two initial summoned beasts, soloing wasn't a big problem!

Since soloing wasn't a big problem, Yang Jian didn't concern himself with her leveling up.

To exploit Nathanos, Yang Jian had inquired about every NPC in the vicinity who knew anything.

"Nathanos! He has the strength of a second-tier professional, he can walk sideways on this new continent!"

Having just completed a quest, Yang Jian was still examining the somewhat useless class change scroll.

When he talked to Li Weina about that drunk NPC, she actually gave a positive response!

Yang Jian looked up at her: "You've heard his story?"

Li Weina smiled: "Strictly speaking, he and I could be considered from the same hometown. He was even my childhood idol!"

Yang Jian: ...

"But he later became crippled. He should have smoothly advanced to the third tier and then challenged the Hero realm... What a pity!"

"How are these realms divided?"

"You're an eleven-level newcomer, you don't need to know that much..."

Yang Jian looked at the other party's faintly disdainful gaze, feeling a little speechless!

What's so great about you? Level 45 and you're mocking me here?

I'll show you sooner or later...

"However, I know a place that has 'Lament of the High Elves' wine..."

Yang Jian immediately changed his expression.

"Hey, Sister, if you had this connection, you should have told me earlier!"

Yang Jian immediately slipped her fifty silver coins as a tip, which completely bewildered Li Weina, who was acting as a mentor for the first time!

No... Is this right?

"Heh, now I believe you'll achieve great things in the future. You change your face faster than flipping a book!"

"Please bear with me..."

Li Weina, following the principle of 'don't refuse what's given', put away the silver coins.

"Exit the main gate of Zhenhai City, walk to the White Water River, follow the river south for about sixty kilometers until you see a stone bridge. Cross the stone bridge and continue along the continent, and you'll reach Nightshade Town! The guardian there has two bottles of 'Lament of the High Elves' that were once treasured!"

Yang Jian had just started recording.

To prevent missing any details.

Yang Jian knew the stone bridge Li Weina mentioned.

After all, he had already walked that path yesterday!

"Is it really necessary for it to be so complicated...?"

Yang Jian seemed to be asking Li Weina, and also asking himself!

"Are you surprised that I don't know many skills but can still be an Archer mentor in the city?"

"This job should be pretty good, right?"

Yang Jian didn't answer directly, but this rhetorical question also betrayed his true thoughts.

"Talent, attributes, skills, and equipment will all become the cornerstones of a player's advancement..."

"Then I'll just honestly focus on improving my own strength!"

Li Weina smiled.

"Keep it up, you have the potential to achieve demigod status!"

"Hey, why are you insulting me?"

Li Weina didn't react at first!

By the time she reacted, Yang Jian had already walked far away.

He first went to turn in the City Defense Army quests.

Basically, any expulsion, guarding, or kill quests completed within Zhenhai City's jurisdiction counted as City Defense Army quests.

When Yang Jian turned in his quests, twelve completed City Defense Army quests were counted for him at once.

Yang Jian's military rank also rose from Level 1 Private to Level 2!

The military rank level is different from one's own level.

A large amount of City Defense Army points would be deducted each month.

That is to say, if one doesn't diligently complete quests, their military rank will continuously drop... until it falls back to the level of a Level 1 Private!

The purpose of this military rank level is currently unknown, but the game's tropes are plentiful!

Even if this game is unusual, one can still roughly apply it to reality and think about it...

He checked the time; it was already 4:30 PM in game time.

He had spent most of the day in Zhenhai City!

Or rather, the time was wasted here...

However, the world is not all about fighting and killing; there are also elements of human relations!

Just as Yang Jian was about to leave Zhenhai City to level up.

Bai Youyou finally reached level ten and appeared in Zhenhai City.

"I'm going to level up. Have Chen Ergou show you around Zhenhai City..."

"Okay!"

"Also, arranging guild housing, purchasing real estate, and those matters are all up to you... If you need money, you can call me for support! As for other matters, you can handle them as you see fit!"

In fact, all the important things had already been discussed outside.

It's just that seeing each other again in the game always creates a sense of detachment, as if it's been a long time!

Yang Jian couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

Bai Youyou was much more reliable than Yang Jian in getting things done.

For example, for Chen Ergou, who had always lived a difficult life, Yang Jian only knew to give him some money to buy food to fill his stomach.

He didn't bother with anything else.

But after Bai Youyou asked about the reason for recruiting Chen Ergou, she thoughtfully helped him solve his accommodation and long-term meal problems!

Those miscellaneous tasks would only slow down my leveling speed.

Dumping the guild's chores, Yang Jian once again embarked on his journey south!
