82: Zhang Guild Rankings

Sister Su, you were the one who told me to slap you.

Xiao Li closed her eyes, and her already raised jade-like hand slapped straight across.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed through the room.

Immediately, the young ladies who had turned their heads to watch the commotion couldn't help but widen their eyes, their mouths forming 'O' shapes as their expressions instantly froze.

They had originally thought Xiao Li was in for it, but they hadn't expected it would be Xiao Li teaching Sister Su a lesson.

This completely overturned their understanding of things.

What on earth happened to this world?

It felt as if they couldn't keep up with the times and were completely unable to imagine it.

But one thing they could imagine was that since Xiao Li dared to hit Sister Su, she was dead meat.

Just as they were waiting to see how Sister Su would punish Xiao Li, they saw Sister Su rub her cheek, then slowly turn around to look at the virtual screen.

Afterward, Sister Su turned back with a calm face, but the look in her eyes as she watched Xiao Li became increasingly fervent.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but touch their foreheads to confirm they didn't have a fever.

They saw something unsettling about Sister Su; that look in her eyes was like the look a boyfriend gives when pinning them down.

But just as these thoughts occurred to them, their jaws dropped to the floor, their expressions shocked to the extreme.

They saw Sister Su instantly pull Xiao Li into an embrace and plant a fierce kiss right on her cheek.

This...!

Everyone's eyes didn't leave the two of them; they just reached out and picked up their own jaws.

Afterward, they began to work seriously, not daring to watch any longer for fear of being targeted by Sister Su. After all, they already had boyfriends, and even if they didn't, they didn't do that sort of thing.

Now that they knew Sister Su's orientation, they just had to avoid provoking her, and everything would be fine.

But just as they intended to work seriously, they saw out of the corners of their eyes Sister Su walking toward them with a calm expression.

Immediately, everyone felt their hearts tighten and a chilling sensation crept up their necks.

They didn't dare turn their heads, fearing they would be singled out. Fortunately, there were quite a few people here, so Sister Su might not necessarily be looking for them.

But before they could think further, Cheng Lingsu walked over and, without a word, kissed each of them in turn, frightening the women into a series of screams.

After kissing everyone, Cheng Lingsu cleared her throat and announced loudly:

“Colleagues, we’re having a dinner party at the Imperial Dynasty Hotel tonight. Everyone can eat and drink to their heart's content; all expenses are on me.”

After announcing the dinner, Cheng Lingsu ignored everyone's shocked expressions and walked toward her office with a calm face.

She had checked the order several times, and since she had received an SMS notification for the order, she was one hundred percent certain that the other party had paid.

In that case, if she didn't go to her office to pack her things, what was she waiting for?

With their company's Sky Delivery Express, the customer would receive the goods in less than two days. As soon as the other party signed for it, the company would immediately transfer the commission.

According to company regulations, she and Xiao Li split this commission 70/30. The customer paid 75 billion, and the commission was a full 1.45 billion. Even taking seventy percent meant nearly 1 billion; why on earth would she keep working?

The main thing now was to get the customer to sign for it; she could only be at peace once she saw the signature with her own eyes.

She already planned to take a trip to South City tomorrow to personally hand over the game pod to the customer, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

While she wouldn't go as far as sacrificing her body, with her unparalleled beauty and sweet voice, she could make it easier for the customer to sign for the delivery, allowing her to finally relax... After Xiao Xing placed his order, he began browsing the official forums.

The forums were very lively. The original headline about the sudden appearance of 100 billion gold coins had been pushed down by other headlines after so many days.

Nowadays, most discussions were about dungeons. Except for the City of Bright Moon, which hadn't opened its dungeons yet, other cities already had people achieving the first clear for various dungeons.

Another topic was the Guild Rankings. Due to the sudden appearance of 100 billion gold coins, many guilds had applied for guild status immediately after purchasing gold.

However, the You Lan Guild held the number one spot on the guild rankings as a Rank 3 guild and had even purchased a guild residence, which shocked the Super Guilds immensely.

Although they were Super Guilds, they couldn't add an infinite number of people in the guild's Early Stage; guild Ranks could only be raised step by step.

What shocked them most was the other party's guild residence.

They wanted to buy one too, but it required an official Rank of Viscount. Even their teams specialized in grinding official Ranks had barely reached Baron; they couldn't buy a residence even if they had the money.

Upon discovering that the You Lan Guild could buy a residence, the leaders of those guilds contacted You Lan one after another, intending to have her help them buy residences.

As long as she helped buy a residence, they didn't mind giving You Lan some extra benefits.

Without a guild residence, there were no guild quests; they could only rely on their massive popularity to gain 1 point of prestige every once in a long while.

At this rate of prestige growth, the You Lan Guild would probably be Rank 5 before they even reached Rank 2.

Because the You Lan Guild's warehouse had a massive amount of equipment, coupled with the high rewards for the top ten members, over ten thousand guild members worked hard every day on quests, causing their prestige to rise extremely fast.

Therefore, those guilds were desperate to purchase residences.

A few days ago, You Lan had already explained the situation to Xiao Xing. She also wanted Xiao Xing to help everyone buy residences so that Xiao Xing could gain quite a few benefits as well.

However, Xiao Xing told her not to pay them any mind, which was why You Lan had delayed agreeing to help them buy guild residences.

After Xiao Xing understood the general trends of the game, he closed the forum and logged into the game.

Seeing his figure appear, Luge and Cheng Xiaoyue quickly ran toward him.

In the few days Xiao Xing had brought them here, both of their favorability toward him had increased significantly.

Luge's favorability had reached 80. Since he was a male NPC, this was considered the level of a close relative.

Xiaoyue's favorability toward him had reached 90. This was because Xiao Xing had given her quite a bit of immortal spirit jade nectar and clam pearls, and with his care over these days, it had increased by 10 points.

Increasing favorability became harder the further it went. According to Xiao Xing's guess, to get her to 100, he would not only have to be extremely good to her but also give her gifts frequently.

“Brother Chen, you're finally here. Yueyue missed you so much.”

Cheng Xiaoyue ran over and threw herself directly into Xiao Xing's arms, her expression appearing extremely at peace.

At this level of favorability, she no longer had any barriers between her and Xiao Xing, which was why she was so affectionate.

“Great Master Luge, I'm taking Xiaoyue out for a stroll. Our chamber of commerce opens punctually at 7 PM tonight. At that time, take the others there early to prepare.”

After comforting Xiaoyue for a bit, Xiao Xing spoke to Luge.

He had originally planned to open yesterday, but some matters had delayed him.

After bidding farewell to Luge, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. After he displayed his Viscount Rank and explained his purpose, the guards let them inside.

He came here to issue a Divine Kingdom Announcement. This kind of announcement required an official Rank of Viscount and a payment of 1 million gold coins for a single message.
