“Dongdong told me about the company you started?” Li Yao asked.
Sister Li nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ve let it go by now.”
“My goodness, you were the boss all along?” the Guardian Angel exclaimed.
“Just a small thing, it doesn’t matter if I was a boss or not.” Sister Li said with a smile.
“So, I have drawn up a few principles. Can you help me formulate the rules in detail?” Li Yao said a bit embarrassingly; he had absolutely no experience with this.
“Sure, it’s a small matter.” Sister Li replied.
“Then I’ll give you guys the authority. We’ll go to different places to recruit members and post notifications on the forum.” Li Yao pondered: “I want to take the proper route. The first thing we need to establish is a core group, also known as a team. Take that into consideration during your recruitment – if you want to do management, pioneering instances, or team members. It would be good to have an intention, for better organization.”
“In this case, each of you chooses a main city and location to recruit members individually. I’ll take care of Undercity.” Li Yao said.
“Wait, wait.” Guardian Angel interjected. “You haven’t mentioned the recruitment criteria yet?”
“Isn’t it clear? We need elites. A rank-one guild only has 300 slots. I want all to be elite, at least all of them should be professional elites. If there are too many people, we’ll have to fight it out. Tanks and healers don’t need to compete, but we should also consider their consciousness and such. Generally , you guys handle it. You guys discuss and shout it out on different channels. Now I’ll go and post on the forum.”
Seeing Li Yao walk away, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. This boss really knew how to throw the ball to others.
Using Hearthstone in Undercity, he found a spot and sat down, then opened the forum.
He then posted a thread – Starfire Guild established, elites welcomed to join.
In the post, Li Yao mentioned the recruitment locations in each main city and some requirements. For example, one would need to pass certain assessments.
Li Yao was a celebrity now, his post was quickly discovered and pinned.
Suddenly, the thread got lively.
At the same time, Li Yao also shouted out on several channels such as trade and world.
Post on the 35th floor: The hunter’s requirements are too high, I’m a fan of yours, can I join the guild?
Post on the 45th floor: Yes, the requirements are too high, I’m only level 8.
Post on the 68th floor: I beg the hunter to lower the recruitment criteria.
Post on the 120th floor: Prairie Fire: I know many people want to join my guild, but as we all know, a rank-one guild has a limited quota. Therefore, I’m recruiting some elites first, completing guild tasks, so the guild can level up quicker and that we can recruit more friends. Isn’t that right?
Post on the 146th floor: What the hell, you think too highly of yourself, who the hell do you think you are, wanting only elites.
Post on the 167th floor: Yes, just because people call you the Hunter King, you actually think you’re some kind of king, you trash.
Post on the 235th floor: What a stupid bird, your crappy guild has nothing, and you dream of attracting elites, you’re deluding yourself, idiot.
Post on the 245th floor: You really think you have so much influence, playing with the guild, you should take a look at yourself first.
Post on the 300th floor: Prairie Fire: I believe I have the strength and qualifications to establish this guild, and I also believe that people who join the Starfire Guild will not be disappointed.
Perhaps you think I’m bragging, but please take a look at the screenshot below. Once again, I’d like to make clear that I am recruiting level 10 or professional elite talents. I will select them at the Undercity training ground in two hours.
Then Li Yao posted a screenshot of the guild’s warehouse, where he had deposited 2000 Gold Coins.
Finally, the post noted: If there are any guilds who think their warehouses are richer than ours, feel free to mock us. I have the skills, the gold, and if that’s not enough for a guild, who has the qualifications to start one!!!
The comments below went wild:
“The Hunter King is as domineering as ever, I admit defeat.”
“Oh my god, I must have been seeing things, so many equip, scared the piss out of me.”
“Estimated, there are at least a thousand pieces of equipment.”
“The point is hundreds of purple quality items and dozens of purple weapons. Oh my god, I want to join.”
“I also want to join the Starfire Guild, but unfortunately I’m not at a high enough level, ah…”
“Hehe, using a Photoshopped picture to deceive everyone, trashy person, trashy guild.”
“The person above is the real trash, Photoshop your sister. Whether it’s real or not, those who join the guild will know soon. Is the Hunter King the kind to make up such low-level lies?”
“Yes, definitely some guild’s stupid trying to slander the Hunter King. If you dare, show us a screenshot of your guild’s warehouse.”
“2000 Gold, this is crazy, I haven’t even seen what the gold coin looks like.”
“No matter how many items you have, can you get them? No matter how much money there is, can you share it? If the trash host distributes the equipment and gold, I’ll be impressed.”
“You shouldn’t try to show off your IQ, you’re not worth that, who cares if you’re impressed, what does it have to do with us or with Prairie Fire God, idiot.”
“That’s right, you should distribute your wealth first.”
“I know this idiot, he is the guild leader of the Deep Sea Guild’s first team, totally embarrassed himself during this Master-level pioneering. Now he’s running here slandering Prairie Fire God.”
“Have the guts to distribute all the funds and resources of your Deep Sea Guild, I’ll be impressed.”
“After distribution, he will be my rolemodel.”
“Hunter King has technical skills, strategy, resources! If a guild has no future, which guild will have one? I obviously can’t enter this first batch, but I must join in the second.”
“Yes, these things all represent the foundation and determination of Prairie Fire God. I also want to join.”
Upon seeing their arguments, Li Yao said: “I can’t fake this. Whoever joins the guild can naturally come and verify personally. I’ll be waiting at the training ground in two hours.”
With that, Li Yao logged out of the forum. The luxurious guild warehouse was instantly featured on the official website’s homepage. Many guilds were simultaneously envious, jealous, and hating, but they couldn’t say anything.
Many guilds bought their Shining Fruit from Li Yao, so they knew where his money came from. It was clear that the Shining Fruit was initially unsalable and unwanted, but the profit was turned a hundredfold.
What kind of concept is a hundredfold? In reality, many desperados would take risks for a few times the profits.
You have to remember that they are enemies. They wished they could kill Li Yao, but they had to reach out to Li Yao, begging him to buy Shining Fruit, giving him money to create a guild.
There’s nothing more disgusting and heartbreaking than that.
On the other hand, Li Yao’s feelings were the opposite. Using his enemies’ money to expand and develop was the most exhilarating thing he could think of.
Feeling cheerful, Li Yao continued to vacuum up the auction house to enrich his warehouse. He spent a few hundred more gold coins, and his warehouse’s items expanded significantly.
Then he noticed it was almost time. He slowly prepared to head to the training ground…
ps: I’m too exhausted, I can’t go on… Going to sleep now…
