Chapter 001: The Search for a Person

Without money, how can you learn to maintain a harem like others?

Are they all female? Zhu's vigilance arises: "What does your guild plan to be called?"

The entire venue fell silent, and all the players who had been waving flags and cheering ceased their voices

Zhu turned around expressionlessly: "It's nothing, I'm leaving."

The man making noise was currently struggling to tear off the dog plaster stuck to his mouth, and then, in a fit of rage, he shouted at Li Zhu, who was walking away: "Are you looking to die?"

The noisy man, feeling a bit more confident, straightened his chest and belly and said: "Well, considering you are a girl, let's not be too bloody and violent; let's just spar instead"

Zhu Yang raised his eyebrows: "Are the two of them going to build a bank?"

This is a rare scene in the novice village; the more people gather around, the more nervous the noisy man becomes. Seeing that Zhu remains calm as ever, he hesitates for a moment and asks, "How do we fight?"

Nine Shadows is a well-known player guild in this game

Beside the bushes, a group of players was engaged in gambling, their boisterous laughter and shouts audible from a hundred meters away, thus attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

The noisy man exited the game in disgrace amidst the boos of a group of players who had lost money in a bet, not to hide his shame, but to delete his account and commit suicide. Losing such a significant character right after entering the game, how could he continue to survive in the future? It would be better to take advantage of his low level and start over.

In games, there are generally two ways to engage in combat: the relentless PK where one fights to the death, or the purely skill-based sparring that emphasizes communication. The former can result in fatalities, while the latter is limited to a respectful exchange.

Li Zhuwei nodded slightly and silently accepted the sparring request sent by the other party

The emperor lowered his head in a shy manner: I do not have enough money on me

A line of small text is added below the portrait: Anyone who provides information about the whereabouts of this woman will be rewarded with 100,000 taels.

What? The emperor immediately perked up his ears

The Emperor

Small theater

The top of the person's head is marked with two large characters: Seeking Person

Li Zhuwei furrowed her brows, staring silently at the man on the ground who was making a scene, and publicly revealed her level without saying a word

The emperor became anxious: "No, no, don't go! A name is merely a form of address! There's no need to take it so seriously, right? How about this, you could help by issuing the token, and we can proceed without it, alright?"

Level 18

The last three words had long revealed his inner hesitation, as he smiled faintly at Zhu Weiwei and suggested a meeting place: "at the village entrance, on the lawn"

He has fallen down www.hetushu.comcom

Is there something?" Li Zhu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the player who called her.

***

Li Zhu paused for a moment without turning back: "If you want to fight, I don't mind accompanying you."

Emperor

You turn around, walk to the village to rent a horse, and then gallop all the way to Qinglong City, where there is a place called the Merchant's Guild. With a sum of money, you can obtain something called the Jianhui Token.

The system began the countdown, and all idle players within a twenty-meter radius of the two were sent flying. The noise-making man gripped his sword tightly, so tense that he momentarily held his breath, his eyes fixed on his opponent without blinking, ready to launch the most ferocious attack the moment the countdown ended

He continued for Zhu: "So many sticky plasters."

The player quickly explained: "Of course not, I have recruited quite a few players, but they are all female. Their levels are quite high, but their skills are not that great, so it might be a bit difficult to handle the construction guild token..."

Indeed, someone is screaming, but it is a man. Nevertheless, that sound still pierces the eardrums, causing many players nearby to frown and glance over.

Wow! One hundred thousand taels of gold! Am I seeing this correctly? One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand, along with books! This can buy so many secret manuals, so much equipment, so much... umm...

Signature: Jiu Ying Hua Shao

Emperor: There are tokens for establishing associations sold in the trading house; this is common knowledge, who doesn't know that

"Look at the records of the discussions before blaming others. If your own skills are lacking, do not blame others for taking advantage of you." Li Zhu left these words and turned to leave.

Zhu had no idea that her actions had caused someone to delete their account. She was simply feeling a bit down, finding the crowd around her too noisy. So, she put away her dagger and walked towards the distant woods, hoping to quietly practice for a while and daydream. However, someone clearly did not give her that opportunity, chasing after her and shouting loudly: "Wait, please wait!"

Li Zhu felt a bit annoyed by his persistence, so he stopped and said, "Would you like to hear a suggestion?"

Tangxia Village Entrance, Lawn

It is a monochrome portrait depicting a girl with unremarkable features, the kind that would be hard to find in a crowd

Hua Shao is the player's name, and he truly deserves to be among the top ten charismatic figures in the game. Just with his outstanding skill in sketching characters and his graceful, flowing handwriting, akin to clouds and flowing water, he is enough to make a group of young women cover their faces and scream.

The player lowered their head in embarrassment: "After ... ... the harem."

You were amazing just now! How could you act so quickly? The player, with a beaming smile, first offered a compliment.

He indeed made a move; as the system prompted the start, he lunged forward, his sword aimed directly at the entrance of Li Zhu's face, intending to force her to retreat and evade. However, for some unknown reason, she deftly shifted her body to the side, and her dagger pierced into his chest, and then—

Hmm. Zhu nodded slightly and turned to leave: "I am not interested"

A group of wild rabbits is joyfully hopping in the grass, while two individuals stand beside them. One appears somewhat anxious, fearing embarrassment at any moment, with even the hand gripping the sword hilt trembling slightly. The other, however, is quite relaxed, casually playing with two daggers, his gaze fixed solely on the wild rabbits darting at his feet, completely ignoring his opponent.

After Zhu Yi finished speaking in one breath, he waved his hand at him and walked straight into the depths of the forest

There has never been a free lunch in this world, and Lidu Zhun stood still without speaking, quietly waiting for his next words

The noise man stared in disbelief at his suddenly empty health bar, a one-hit kill?! How could it be a one-hit kill?!

May I ask what your name is

Damn, I'm done! Do you think just because you're wearing new gear, you can pretend to be a newbie? Is it interesting to bully those with lower levels? There is only this explanation! If two players are of similar levels, he believes he will definitely not be taken out in an instant

How is this possible ... ... The man, taken aback by the noise, is at level 19

Seeing her respond so readily, the man hesitated instead. However, with so many onlookers around him, he couldn't afford to lose face, so he stubbornly retorted, "If we are going to fight, then let’s fight; who’s afraid of whom!"

Now, I've really lost face

The player finally understood her meaning and smiled, saying: "It is like this, I plan to establish a guild and would like to invite you to join. After leveling up together, we can go and fight for the guild token together."

Li Zhu has been standing in front of the bulletin board with a blank expression for five minutes. Besides the routine daily tasks fixed in the game, there is also a private quest posted by a player.

Wait! Don't go, I have something to say! The player then caught up and said: "Let's team up, I'll help you level up."

Li Zhu: Do you still not know to go buy it?

"Choose as you wish." Li Zhu merely found his screams annoying and did not wish to kill him

As soon as she left, the man immediately went to review the combat records, which clearly indicated that at the moment Zhu made his move, he had stabbed him five times. However, the speed was so fast that it was misinterpreted as a one-hit kill.
