I just don't know if there will be similar settings like soul puppets and soul threads in the next instance. If not, he might have to inform Huang Yan, Gu Jinxing, and the other veteran members in advance, assigning them tasks to recruit members in their own instances.
On this side, Wen Nan was pondering, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, noisy like a vegetable market.
Wen Nan got up and walked to the window, looking out, only to see a large crowd of players surrounding the small office building, making it impenetrable.
Wen Nan was puzzled and brought up the guild section from the community system—
In just a few minutes, he had over 99+ unread emails in his inbox, all of which were membership applications.
He still clearly remembers the last time he recruited members in the game hall—
Back then, he waited until the last moment and only managed to recruit a yellow-haired guy, who felt desperate and obliged to join him.
But now, how did their recruitment notice just get sent out, and in just half an hour, they received so many membership applications?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Hu Jiayao and Huang Yan's loud voices maintaining order outside the door:
"Don't make noise! Quiet, everyone! Listen up! Everyone, line up according to the serial number on your application. Wait for your number to be called before going in."
"I know you're anxious, but don't rush."
"Don't worry, everyone will get their turn. Even if the Guild Leader's countdown ends, your number will still be valid. Our guild is very considerate, missing numbers won't be voided, you'll just move ten numbers back."
"Next time, you might not be teleported to our guild's office hall. That's something you should be concerned about, not the guild. You see how in demand our guild is—if you're going to cross a single-log bridge with a thousand troops, you have to show your sincerity, right?"
Huang Yan and Hu Jiayao were like performing a double act, complementing each other.
Wen Nan looked over and found that the originally chaotic crowd had really lined up neatly, forming a long queue of twists and turns, surrounding the small guild office building three times over.
Besides the few old employees helping to maintain order, the most eye-catching were Luo Wei and Liang Yiming, standing at the main entrance, like Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong, one on the left and one on the right.
These two seemed to feel like they weren't eye-catching enough, as they took out the Feng Shui Huan guild invitation letters originally stuffed in their pockets, holding them in their hands on the left and right…
Wen Nan was quietly admiring the strange scene in front of him when Gu Jinxing walked in, glanced around, found Wen Nan by the window, immediately approached him, pushed up his glasses, and began to report on the current situation methodically:
"Guild Leader, we have received a total of 126 membership applications, including 102 online application forms and 24 from offline recruitment. All 126 players have already queued outside, waiting for the Guild Leader's interview.
"Time is tight now. It's unlikely to finish interviewing all applicants. I've made a simple summary of the 126 players: there are 92 lv1 players, 22 lv2, 10 lv3, and 2 lv4, with no players above Bronze rank.
"I think you might want to focus on these two lv4 applicants, so they're placed first and second in line. Among the remaining 10 lv3 applicants, there are 3 who reached lv3 after just one beginner instance, showing higher potential than the rest, so they're arranged third to fifth. Additionally, in lv2 and lv3, there are two applicants whose total assets, including equipment and gold coins, are significantly higher than other players, arranged sixth and seventh.
"The remaining applicants are ranked with priority on level and attribute values, taking total assets into consideration.
"The basic information of all applicants has been compiled in this table for your review."
Wen Nan scratched his head, scanned the table from top to bottom, squinting his eyes, feeling a bit thorny.
He had never been an interviewer before. The most he had done before was chatting with his attending doctor, and the content was usually some trivial chats.
Fortunately, Gu Jinxing's information compilation was meticulous. Their guild only needed seven members now, and from the situation overview on that table, it was pretty much confirmed to be the ones holding numbers 1-7.
The interview had become a mere formality.
The first applicant came in, bowing slightly nervously to Wen Nan, who pointed to a small cushion next to him, "Sit down, let's just chat casually, don't be nervous."
Hearing this, the applicant straightened up even more—typically in an interview, when a big shot says to chat casually, it means they're about to unleash their trump card. He had to stay steady and handle the opponent's killer move.
However, after a moment, he heard the other side say, "Would you like something to drink?"
The applicant was stunned by the question, his mind swirling—
When he was queuing outside, he had been repeatedly reminded that the Guild Leader was pressed for time, with less than 10 minutes allocated for each member's interview, no time for idle chat, so he had to be concise and not waste the Guild Leader's precious time.
Yet now, this honorable Guild Leader was actually asking him what he wanted to drink?
It's known throughout the game hall now that this newly minted Guild Leader is supposedly a legendary figure in disguise as a newbie!
