Chapter 311 - 290: It’s Not Easy to Add Da Fei’s Good Friend
Shendong Normal University, girls’ dormitory.
Little Fang laughed heartily as she applied various cosmetics and accessories left by a roommate who went home for the winter break onto Little Li’s face, and proudly declared, "This kind of thing is called public relations. Male players online are the easiest to hook. They don’t care about your education, they don’t care about your background, they don’t care if you have multiple boyfriends. They just want a beautiful girl, and even better, a beautiful girl who can play games! The requirement is so basic, if you can’t even capture a homebody, how can you possibly capture those billionaires with countless women in the future? This is life experience—"
Little Li anxiously interjected, "Who wants to capture a billionaire! Can we do this without video calling? What if someone recognizes me?"
Little Fang chuckled, "You see, the first thing a man thinks when he meets a female player is to doubt whether she’s a cross-dresser, so video calling is a must. Don’t worry, for a woman, it’s three parts looks and seven parts makeup. As long as I let your hair down to cover your cheeks, you’ll look like a totally different person and won’t be recognized. Oh, and put on this low-cut top—the men’s attention will be drawn downward, making it even harder to recognize you!"
Little Li quickly shook her head, "I’m really scared, Little Fang, how about you do it?"
Little Fang said eagerly, "Don’t move! The makeup will come off! Of course, I can’t do it; my facial features are too distinct. Unlike you, you’re totally a chameleon beauty. Plus, as the top Female Lord of the China Region, how can I easily video chat with someone? Anyway, this is about a big deal involving tens of thousands of US dollars in prize money and future collaborations. Look at those poor part-time car models in the literature department, you’ll understand. Anyway, you must handle this well! Whether he takes the bait is his business, whether you’re willing to flaunt it is yours..."
After fussing for half the day, an alternative, highly-made-up beauty with parted hair, a butterfly hair clip, a lace choker, and a low-cut off-shoulder outfit emerged!
Little Li wailed, "Oh my gosh! Who is this? If someone I know sees me, I might as well die!"
Little Fang laughed heartily, "That’s exactly the effect we want. I guarantee even someone who knows you wouldn’t recognize you! Alright, breaking news, Brother Fei has entered the tavern in Elorin City, hurry up, teleport now!"
...
At this moment, Brother Fei and the old and young of the Coltner family were drinking merrily together!
Little Coltner said, "Guild Master, our Chamber of Commerce has had longstanding issues and needs strong medicine. For the rejuvenation of the Chamber, I think it’s better to have short-term pain than long-term pain. I have a bold suggestion, not sure if you would consider it?"
All rewards collected, Da Fei was still rushing to see the Storm Druid, go to the Ranger Guild, and find Makar. He was too busy to listen to anything trivial.
Brother Fei waved his hand grandly, "Bold is good! I believe in you! Go ahead and do it your way!"
Little Coltner happily said, "Thank you for your trust, Guild Master. Since that’s the case, I’m not in the mood to drink anymore, I’ll go prepare the plan immediately!"
Old Coltner joyfully said, "That’s what a doer looks like! Now I can retire in peace, but if there’s ever a need for this old man, I’ll do my utmost to help!"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "Then, I’ll be looking forward to more assistance from everyone!"
"Cheers!"
"Down it!"
The banquet ended joyously, and Da Fei, with a sense of triumphant satisfaction, hurriedly left. Just as he reached the staircase, a system prompt popped up!
—System Prompt: Player "Harem Beauty" wishes to add you as a friend. Would you like to accept?
Damn! As a celebrity, the most troublesome things are paparazzi following, beggars asking for money, and then these random friend requests. So annoying! Da Fei didn’t even look before closing it!
...
At this moment, after mustering great courage and mentally preparing for the video call, Little Li, biting her teeth, felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head!
What’s this feeling? It’s like a herd of f***ing alpacas storming through her heart! You look down on those who flaunt themselves, right? Now when it’s your turn, even the chance to flaunt isn’t given!
Little Li exclaimed, "How could this happen! I was instantly rejected!"
Little Fang said impatiently, "No surprise there! He’s a celebrity walked on the street who everyone wants to add as a friend. Did you think adding a friend was that simple?—Hurry up! You must add him! No matter what, you have to attract his attention without any limits!"
Little Li was dumbfounded, "What does ’no limits’ even mean?"
Little Fang jumped, "What’s the most popular phrase on the internet right now? ’XXX! I want to have your babies!!’"
Little Li outright sprayed, "I’d rather die than say that!"
Little Fang angrily said, "Just saying it won’t make you pregnant! Come on, he’s getting away!"
...
Mr. Da Fei arrived at the Druid Guild, where the waiter at the entrance greeted him: "Mr. Da Fei, are you here to recruit Special Forces? The Mayor has instructed us to assist you, this way please!"
Mr. Da Fei laughed heartily: "Much appreciated!"
— System Prompt: Player "Harem Beauty" wants to add you as a friend, do you accept?
Damn! So annoying, don’t bother me, close it!
Following the waiter, Da Fei arrived at the guild’s backyard and saw an NPC Druid named "Storm Master Longena", wearing a golden green robe with golden eagle feathers in his hair.
Longena, with eyes sharp as eagles, scanned Mr. Da Fei up and down with displeasure: "Hard to believe that our finest Druid troops would be commanded by a human. Although it’s the Mayor’s intention and you have some fame in this city, I can hardly accept it!"
Damn! Why does he have the same attitude as that Ranger Guild Master Jilrien? But he’s a hero, and you’re just a featherweight, why the arrogance? Right! Why are both these guys so difficult? This is a direct order from the Mayor, why are these subordinates giving me a hard time? Hey, Mr. Mayor, your word doesn’t carry enough weight?
Now Mr. Da Fei, being a guild leader and a hero of this city, had grown in stature and temper, no longer the newcomer as before, and definitely had no time for chitchat given his current busyness!
Da Fei said with displeasure: "Do you have any doubts about the Mayor’s orders? Look around the entire Elf Kingdom, I, a human, was the ultimate one to complete the Epic Quest! The Mayor is a practical person; if you have capability you step up, if not, step aside. It’s that simple!"
Longena angrily retorted: "Watch your tone, even the Mayor can’t speak to me like that!"
Damn! Such a familiar tone! Da Fei quickly remembered the situation when the Mayor personally took him to meet the Ranger Guild Master, are the rules in the Elf Kingdom such that the Mayor doesn’t control everything? Or is this corrupt Mayor unpopular among his subordinates?
Da Fei realized he was in deep waters within Elorin City, but now was not the time to stir up trouble, so he would not contend further.
Mr. Da Fei could only sigh: "Sorry, it’s a military emergency, I’m a bit agitated, my apologies!"
Longena snorted: "What military situation do you have?"
Damn! Are you done being nosy? Da Fei, suppressing his anger, replied lightly: "As the Mayor also instructed, use Storm Druids sparingly as they’re rare. If you’re worried about the troops, you can refuse, and I’ll just find someone else from the humans."
Hmph, did you get that? If you keep troubling me, I’ll go to Makar for troops and discredit you in front of him, letting all humans know these Storm Druids are just cowards!
Sure enough, Longena frowned: "I’m only worried about the troops being led by incompetents. For now, I’ll give you only 5 troop slots; you can lead them on Chamber of Commerce missions only, and if there’s any loss, don’t expect to get any more troops from me!"
— System Prompt: You have been granted 5 Storm Druid recruitment slots!
— Storm Druid: Small humanoid elf, Attack 34, Defense 31, Health 460, Damage 61-77, Attack Speed: 13, Move Speed: 13, Command Power 10, Recruitment Cost 5700 Gold Coins, Special Skills: Ranged Shot, Storm Crow, Hurricane Skill, Master-level Summoning Lightning, Master-level Healing Technique.
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped! This Blood Defense, this damage, this recruitment cost, truly are high-grade level 7 troops! And these aren’t just elites, but a special kind of soldiers! The difference between elites and troops is, elites can’t be recruited from barracks, only raised by players. But troops can be directly recruited from barracks, even those with level eight attributes like bosses!
Damn! Although I managed to create a Banshee Army, those were elites! And those elites were slowly trained from scratch like from a kindergarten, probably out of production, losses would be unbearable! But these Druids can be replenished, meaning, I still need to build a good relationship?
Alright! As long as I can get good stuff, bowing down a bit doesn’t matter!
Da Fei hastily chuckled: "Thank you for your care, please rest assured, sir, I’ll use the troops wisely and not let them suffer any losses! Not only that, I’ll surely enhance the reputation of the Storm Druids!"
Longena snorted: "Guild Master sir, why so presumptuous at first but polite now?"
Da Fei shamelessly replied: "That’s because only after I saw the attributes of Storm Druids did I fully realize that you, sir, truly have remarkable skills!"
Longena annoyed: "Show the guest out!"
Crap!
Da Fei dejectedly left the Druid Guild. Dammit, next is to meet that Ranger Guild Master Jilrien. But I’m here to return something, better keep a good attitude, or else, hmm! I’ll show you restraint!
Just as Da Fei stepped out, system prompts again!
— System Prompt: Player "Harem Beauty" wants to add you as a friend, do you accept?
At the same moment, a female human player shouted in person: "Brother Fei! Please add me as a friend! I can video chat, warm your bed, and tell racy jokes!"
— Ah phew! Da Fei, already in a bad mood, sprayed on her face: "Why didn’t you say so earlier, video chat!" (To be continued. If you like this, please vote at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
