Chapter 189: Game Legends during the Beta Period

"Thank God, you finally woke up." Captain Lin looked at Chen Tianwen with a relieved look on his face.

"Sorry to trouble you." Chen Tianwen smiled apologetically and struggled to sit up from the bed.

His body seemed a little uncoordinated and he moved very stiffly.

An Ran, who was standing by, hurriedly helped him up and said, "Why don't you take a rest? You look a bit shaky and you don't seem very stable."

"It has nothing to do with rest. My soul has been away from my body for too long, and I am not used to it. I just need to move around a bit - Ah, Captain Lin, you are here too."

Captain Lin looked a little annoyed: "You really like to cause trouble. Who did you offend this time?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer you. I don't really know myself."

"Are you sure?" Captain Lin obviously didn't believe it.

Chen Tianwen said frankly: "Why would I lie to you? After all, those people want to kill me. I wish you could catch them. If I knew, I would definitely tell you."

Captain Lin was quick to grasp Chen Tianwen's grammatical error and asked, "What do you mean by 'that group of people'? There are more than one person who want to kill you? How do you know this?"

"I'm not sure about this, but one person can't kill me, so it must be a group of people." Chen Tianwen still had an innocent expression as if he had no idea.

Captain Lin was a little confused. "Hmph, if you really don't want to talk, forget it, but don't blame us if something goes wrong in the future. So can you take care of yourself from now on?"

"No problem Captain Lin, I think I'm safe now."

Captain Lin didn't say anything else, just waved his hand and said, "Retreat."

Seeing Captain Lin's retreat so cleanly and neatly, Xiao Jie couldn't help but be a little surprised. Did he really believe what Chen Tianwen said?
Anyway, Xiao Jie didn't believe it. It was obvious that Chen Tianwen knew that he was being hunted before, and he also said that he had some enemies. Why didn't he say it now?

He looked at Chen Tianwen, but did not ask this question. Chen Tianwen must have some difficulties.

Chen Tianwen had already started to thank the three people.

"I have to thank you guys very much this time. If it weren't for your help, I would have to die."

"Haha, no problem, we're all players from the same place, so of course we have to take care of each other."

"Don't thank me. I wouldn't have come if Captain Lin hadn't called me. I bled you three times to keep you alive. You should eat some beef and mutton to replenish your body. If you want to thank someone, thank Xiao Jie. He was the one who called the police."

Xiao Jie also waved his hand modestly: "No need to thank me, if I need you for anything in the future, just don't refuse."

"Of course. I owe you this time. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me. I will definitely not refuse."

Chen Tianwen looked at Xiao Jie curiously, "But how did you know that something happened to me?"

Xiao Jie explained, "Actually, I wanted to consult you about something, but I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I guessed that something might have happened to you, but I didn't expect that something really happened."

Chen Tianwen laughed self-deprecatingly, "Then my luck is really good. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing much. I just recently had two guilds recruit me, one is the Dragon Knights, and the other is the Pantheon. I heard that you used to be a member of the Pantheon, so I wanted to ask you about the treatment of the Pantheon guild."

When Chen Tianwen heard this, his face suddenly froze, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Haha, this is really fate. What a coincidence. It's really too coincidental. Maybe there really is such a thing as fate in this world."

This inexplicable sigh made Xiao Jie stunned for a moment, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Wait a minute, could those who killed you be from the Pantheon?"

An Ran and Master Niu also showed surprised expressions.

Chen Tianwen sighed helplessly at Xiao Jie's guess, "I didn't want to tell you these things because I was afraid of causing trouble for you, but since..."

"Oops!" Master Niu suddenly slapped his thigh and forcibly interrupted Chen Tianwen's speech, "I suddenly remembered that the water on the stove at home has not been turned off. Since you are awake, I will leave first and contact you later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the emergency room.

"What the hell is this old man?" An Ran looked confused.

"I guess he doesn't want to hear what happens next." Xiao Jie said thoughtfully.

Since Chen Tianwen didn't want to tell them, it meant that this matter was somewhat dangerous. Master Niu was an experienced man and he probably noticed it in an instant, so he left early.

Chen Tianwen couldn't help but laugh, "I guess so - then do you want to hear it?"

An Ran shrugged, "I don't care."

Xiao Jie also nodded, "That's fine with me too."

He had experienced many dangers these days, and he had just chopped down a few paper killers. Even if there was real danger, it would be unavoidable.

It would be better to hear what is going on.

At least I have some idea in mind.

Chen Tianwen smiled helplessly and looked out the door vigilantly, "I'm hungry, why don't we go have dinner first."

Half an hour later——

The three of them sat in a private room of a hot pot restaurant, eating hot pot, drinking beer and listening to Chen Tianwen telling his story.

An Ran ate with big mouthfuls as usual, and in a short while he had finished three pounds of beef and mutton.

Xiao Jie also eats a lot. Since he practiced internal sword skills, his appetite in real life has also increased.

Chen Tianwen stopped after eating a few bites, sipping tea while introducing the Pantheon to Xiao Jie.

"The Pantheon guild can be said to be one of the oldest guilds in the Old Earth game. It is one of the five major guilds established during the game's internal testing."

"This game still has an internal test!" Xiao Jie found it a little unbelievable.

"Yes, and it was a deleted file internal test. At that time, because there was no risk warning in the game, almost all the first batch of internal test players died. However, there were still some individuals who survived and entered the game again after the official public beta test. They established a guild called Pantheon. The president of the Pantheon is such a person...

But these are just legends, just like many rumors in online games, they are more or less distorted and exaggerated.

When I joined the Pantheon, it was already very powerful, so I only heard about what happened from other people.

But the style of the Pantheon is really to my liking, pure elitism, only recruiting the strongest and looking down on ordinary people.

I was very proud at that time, so when the opportunity came, I applied to join without hesitation.

Pantheon is very strict in recruiting. There were three people recruited with me at the time, and one spot was selected. Later, the other two failed during the test.

However, although the test is rigorous, they are also extremely generous to those who can officially join. As long as the resources and information are not too excessive, they can apply for them.

I remember one time I wanted to learn alchemy, so I applied for it and they directly approved 5,000 taels of silver for me... Of course, I also refined a lot of elixirs for the guild later."

Five thousand taels! Xiao Jie thought to himself, this guild is too rich.

“However, if you enjoy power, you must naturally fulfill your obligations. The president usually doesn’t take charge of things, but once a mission is issued, no matter how difficult, dangerous, or inhumane the mission is, you must complete it unconditionally.

Therefore, I couldn’t stand it after less than half a year, especially when the tasks issued violated my personal principles…”

Chen Tianwen didn't say what happened, but it was obviously not a good thing.

“In the end, I chose to quit. However, it’s not easy to enter the Pantheon, and it’s even harder to quit. The Pantheon will hunt down anyone who leaves the guild without mercy.

I hid for a long time, using the art of Qimen Dunjia to cover my tracks, but they found me in the end.

A few days ago, I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Fortunately, I learned some divination skills from the I Ching, which allowed me to predict the future to a certain extent. In the end, I figured out a plan to survive from death."

Xiao Jie was worried, "Although you managed to dodge this time, what if they attack you again in the future?"

Chen Tianwen shook his head and said, "The Pantheon's style of doing things is very arrogant. They disdain to engage in those kinds of persistent activities. Usually, no matter what they do, they will only do it once, including killing people.

If I survive, I'm basically safe."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, you really dare to gamble. If it were me, I would definitely ask Captain Lin for help.

Chen Tianwen continued: "So as to whether you want to join the Pantheon, I think you'd better think it through before making a decision. The two most important points are: first, what do you really want?

Second, can you bear the consequences of your choice? "

Xiao Jie thought to himself, why does this sound so familiar? Damn, isn't this what he told Xiao Wang?

"You're right. We should think carefully about the consequences. I think it's better for me not to get involved with the Pantheon."

Xiao Jie said, suddenly: "Then why don't you tell Captain Lin? Wouldn't it be safer if there is official intervention?" Chen Tianwen's expression suddenly became serious, "Xiao Jie, remember we talked about it before, if a person's strength reaches a certain level, he can even ignore the constraints of secular laws? The owner of the Pantheon is likely to have reached this level, so I don't want to tell Captain Lin, that will only bring more conflicts. The Pantheon may let me go, but if I involve the Tourism Administration and expand the conflict, then I will be completely hostile to the Pantheon. I don't want to go to this step - at least not now."

Not now? Then later.

Xiao Jie thought that Chen Tianwen might have some ambition to become an immortal or a god.

However, it is not difficult to understand that for people who come into contact with this game, especially if he is already a high-level magic player, it is natural for him to want to go further.

But is the master of the Pantheon he mentioned really so awesome?
He did not pursue the question further, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Jie said goodbye to the two.

Walking on the way home, Xiao Jie looked at the bustling night scene around him, still thinking in his heart.

Although today's events wasted some time, they did figure out their own problems. More importantly, it increased the tacit understanding between the players in Jiangbei City.

If you have any trouble in the future, you can feel free to ask for help.

As for the question of joining a guild, Xiao Jie already has the answer.

After returning home, Xiao Jie entered the game again.

It was already around eight or nine o'clock. It was pitch dark in reality and it was also night in the game.

However, Xiaofeng City is worthy of being the main city of Fengyin Province. Even at night, the streets are still brightly lit, with red lights hanging high and candlelight. The restaurant is full of customers. When Xiao Jie walked out of the room and came to the lobby on the second floor, he saw Yuan Bai drinking and singing with a group of people.

It was Yuan Bai's turn at this time. He sang loudly: "Life is fifty years long, passing by in a hurry among the water and clouds. The immortals will show you the way, and you can follow them. Don't say that there is no leisure in the mountains."

"What a good poem! What a good poem! Senior Yuan is indeed a man of true character and great literary talent. Please drink a full cup."

Yuan Bai picked up the wine glass and was about to drink when he saw Xiao Jie.

"Come on, come on, second brother, come quickly. These are my new friends, all good kids. They even treated me to a drink and a meal. So, have you figured out what's going on?"

Xiao Jie took a look at those people and was speechless. They were all players.

No need to ask, he must have seen a hermit master appear in the restaurant and come to improve his favor.

But he was not worried. Favorability was not something that was so easy to gain. It was wishful thinking to think that he could max out his favorability by drinking and eating meat.

I learned this peerless sword technique by helping the white ape to seek directions from the immortals.

Just a few of you...

But there is no way to prohibit this kind of thing.

Those players immediately became nervous when they saw Xiao Jie. They all saw clearly that Xiao Jie killed people in the street during the day.

Only now did I realize that he was actually the second brother of this hermit master. He is really awesome.

"Good evening, Brother Feng."

"Brother Feng is in such a good mood, why don't we have a drink together?"

"You guys drink yours." Xiao Jie was too lazy to deal with them. "Brother Yuan, I just had a dream and got some notices. I have already thought about where to go next."

"Just think it over. Uh - life is really fun. Drinking and singing songs is really fun. Come on, let's have another drink... You can also write a song for me to listen to."

After finally calming Yuan Bai down, Xiao Jie sent a private message to Long Xing Tianxia.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: President Long, I have decided to join the Dragon Knights, but let me make it clear first. I have a casual personality and cannot stand being restrained. I also don't like being ordered around. If you want to recruit me, you must be mentally prepared. If I don't like it and quit the guild in the future, don't be angry.

Long Xing Tian Xia: Hahaha, brother is really straightforward. It’s okay. Our members of the Long Xiang Knights are actually divided into core members and peripheral members. The core members are strictly selected and need to strictly abide by the guild discipline.

Of course, the treatment is also better. The guild not only provides equipment and mounts, but also helps with job changes and reputation improvement.

As for peripheral members, there are not so many requirements, as long as they don't do anything to harm the guild. When there are activities, I will send messages in the group. If you want to participate, you can sign up. If you don't want to participate, that's fine too.

Of course, the welfare is a little worse, with only one mount given out.

Since you don't want to be restricted, brother, just be an external member, and I can also give you the title of guest official.

This title is only available to those who are above level 30 in the Physics Department or above level 20 in the Magic Department."

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Oh, what’s the use of this title?
Long Xing Tian Xia: Of course it is useful. It’s mainly about the treatment. Our guild will give a horse to new players, ordinary peripheral members will get a plain horse, and guest officials will get a war horse. Guest officials also have the authority to recruit peripheral members, and can participate in decision-making as guild executives during guild activities. In addition, if you need intelligence or funds, you can also apply for them. Of course, whether it will be approved depends on the reason for the application.

Xiao Jie thought that this was not bad. Although the benefits were not as exaggerated as those of the Pantheon, it was still a considerable support.

The key is to be free from constraints. If you don't like it after staying for a while, you can just quit.

In this regard, the Dragon Knights are much better than the Pantheon.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: That’s settled then.

Then Xiao Jie sent another message to the magic god.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: I’m sorry, I have decided to join the Dragon Knights. I feel that the plan of Long Xing Tian Xia is more attractive.

Shen Suan Tianmo: Haha, that's it, but I have to say, you don't know what you have missed.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was precisely because he knew this that he didn't dare to add you guys.

After closing the message, Xiao Jie quit the game.

At the same time: Dragon Knights Headquarters——

This three-story building has now been bought by the Dragon Knights, and the doors and windows are guarded by NPCs hired by the guild.

On the top floor platform, a meeting was going on.

"Okay, it's done. The guy has decided to join. I've given him the position of guest official. Tomorrow, Sihai will go through the membership procedures for him and distribute the new member benefits. Let's continue the meeting. What were we talking about?"

"President, is it really necessary to spend so much money to attract a newcomer?" The speaker was Long Teng Sihai, vice president of the Longxiang Knights and a level 38 general.

"This kid is extraordinary. I am the best at judging people. As long as he survives, he will definitely be able to create something new. Just consider him as an investment."

A diviner named Hongfu Qitian also agreed, "The guild leader is right. This game is not balanced at all. The gap between experts and novices is as huge as the sky. This guy was able to kill a level 29 Qigong master alone. His strength is extraordinary. He will definitely be very powerful when his level develops. It will always be an extra force if we recruit him early. Even if he doesn't participate in the team fight, it's better than falling into the hands of other guilds."

"Afu still understands me...

Now all the major guilds are trying to slay the dragon. But if you really want to slay the dragon, it is not a matter of just relying on a large number of people. How many people will die? It still requires some experts. This person may have such potential.

So how is the dragon slaying going in all the major guilds now?"

"The Azure Dragon Society has begun to shrink its territory since its last failed attempt to slay a dragon. It will probably take some time to grow."

"The First Dynasty successfully slayed a dragon, a level 72 earth dragon. The dragon flag has been made and we are preparing to establish a country, named Da Xia."

Long Xing Tianxia said disdainfully: "These people from the First Dynasty are really not picky. They killed the Earth Dragon and didn't mind the Dragon Flag's poor attributes. Is the Earth Dragon a leader-level BOSS?"

"No, not even a BOSS, just a rare elite in the wild."

Long Xing Tianxia burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this is the limit of these people."

After the guild completes the task of slaying the dragon and establishing the kingdom, it can use the dragon soul to make a dragon flag as a symbol of the kingdom. The dragon flag can provide buffs to surrounding guild members, and the buffs of the dragon flag are linked to the strength of the dragon. The stronger the dragon, the greater the buff of the dragon flag.

A low-level dragon like the Earth Dragon naturally won't give any very good BUFFs.

And the monsters are divided into small monsters, elites, BOSS, leader-level BOSS, god-level BOSS...

This earth dragon is just an elite monster, only slightly stronger than a small monster. You have to know that dragons are creatures that are naturally of a super high basic level in this game, so it is very easy for them to become a BOSS.

This earth dragon is just an elite monster, so you can imagine how defeated it is. It is probably only slightly stronger than a Jiao.

The BUFF given will definitely not be very good.

Someone said anxiously: "But doing so can indeed attract a lot of attention. After all, it is the first to establish a country, and it will definitely attract a large number of players to join."

Long Xing Tianxia disagreed, "Then these players who defected must have no vision, so they defected, we don't care.

We are not in a hurry. We should proceed step by step according to the plan. Strengthening the strength of the guild is the top priority. Let the branch presidents in each town organize members to level up and clear wild monster strongholds. If conditions permit, they can play low-level dungeons and upgrade their equipment. Of course, safety comes first.

At the same time, let the intelligence department investigate in various states to see if there is any information about dragons. It would be best if it is the kind of dragon that appears in plains and wilderness areas. This will make it easier for our generals to fight in groups. We must investigate the dragon's grade clearly. We can't learn from the Qinglong Society."
