Chapter 203: Chapter 197: Nether River Memory Stealing Demon
Hearing Lis’s confusion, Bright Night Radiance was stunned.
What should he do?
Should he say he got the information from a player’s forum online?
While Bright Night Radiance was lost in thought, Wutian Wusheng had already slightly bowed and said to Lis:
“Greetings, Marquis Kane, sir!”
“My name is Wutian Wusheng, I’m an information merchant. I know that His Majesty the King conferred the title of Marquis on you at the recent Sacrificial Festival, and having seen your portrait, I recognized you.”
...
“Oh, is that so.”
Lis pretended to understand, but he was actually well aware of the two players’ source of information.
However, as long as the reason was plausible, Lis went along with it, since his goal wasn’t to push people thousands of miles away.
Moreover, he had an impression of these two.
Bright Night Radiance, one of the top hundred professional players from Hua Xia, possessed the precious Gold Level Talent, Unrestrained Heart and the special profession of Illusion Realm Element Master—definitely a strong player among players.
Wutian Wusheng, this person was a bit special, because just as he said, he really was an information merchant, and a standout one at that.
Most of the information about the “Divine Revelation” game could be found on player forums, as well as on corresponding wikis
and guides, but still, some particularly valuable information and strategies would be collected and sold by information merchants for a profit.
Lis’s power-leveling workshop had also once dabbled in being information merchants.
He didn’t expect to meet two potential recruits in Kuka City, which he considered a gain.
Lis didn’t really think the strong players among players could have much of an impact on him.
Outpacing others step by step, Lis was confident in leaving all players far behind to break through the future legendary bottleneck.
However, what mattered more to Lis about these star players was their influence and leadership among ordinary players.
I am the boss of these star players, and the star players are idols to the ordinary players.
If you round up, I can bag all the top and middle-tier players enthusiastic about competitive gaming!
What a windfall!
“Did you need something from me?”
Lis said with a smile, his approachable demeanor completely maxed out their affinity.
Having been in this gaming world for a while now, the two recognized the distinction of this game from others.
Apart from various game visuals, sensations, and gameplay realism, more importantly, all game NPCs here acted like real people.
Their emotions didn’t seem to come from mass-produced template NPCs.
Bright Night Radiance and Wutian Wusheng had discussed this, wondering just how strong the technology of the Divine Revelation Game Company really was.
Could it really be as the promotions said, that all NPCs were generated by artificial intelligence?
That would indeed be a revolution in the gaming era!
But at the same time, just as people have their admirable qualities, they also have their filthy, dirty aspects.
They naturally saw some Nobles and officials oppressing the common people, exploiting them.
There were naturally numerous related threads on player forums.
Players, who would soon ascend to Professionals, naturally wouldn’t be too influenced.
The players’ views of good and evil had already formed and wouldn’t change because of this, but it also made them recognize the hardships of the common people living at the bottom and the corruption and depravity of the nobility.
The further from the center of the Kingdom, the more this was the case.
In comparison, this Marquis Kane indeed seemed exceptional, perhaps this was truly the style of the Great Nobles of this world?
“Respected Marquis, we’ve long heard of the great reputation of your White Dove Chamber of Commerce, and my friend and I would also like the opportunity to join under your command.”
Wutian Wusheng carefully chose his words while nudging Bright Night Radiance with his elbow.
Bright Night Radiance understood and nodded his head to signal, ‘me too.’
“I see you both are Professionals already, the White Dove Chamber of Commerce certainly welcomes you.”
Lis nodded and said:
“A Mage and an Assassin, indeed talents, but…”
Hearing the hesitation in Lis’s words, Wutian Wusheng’s mind started to race.
Was there a prerequisite quest?
It made sense, especially since they were not in Bright City, which could pose some difficulty.
Unfortunately, their subordinates were not around, but just he and Bright Night Radiance should still manage it.
After all, they were both high-level players now, and even though they hadn’t started in Bright City, they hadn’t fallen far behind in terms of strength.
As the two waited for what came next, they heard Lis’s voice, tinged with hesitation:
“Just now, I saw this gentleman…”
Lis’s gaze shifted to Wutian Wusheng, an awkward expression crossing his handsome face as he said:
“Were you just… performing a striptease?”
Wutian Wusheng was stunned; he hadn’t expected to get caught up on this. What could he do?
Bright Night Radiance, however, reacted faster, suppressing a smile and quickly adding:
“My friend here, he has some special hobbies, but he’ll be careful in the future.”
“Oh…”
Lis looked very hesitant but still said:
“Since you both really want to join the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, we still welcome your membership. Here are the guild badges.”
Lis handed over two badges featuring a white dove design to them.
As the two accepted the badges, the system also alerted them that they had successfully joined the new force [White Dove Chamber of Commerce].
Just as the two were delighted, they heard Lis’s voice again:
“Now that the guild is still in its development phase, I hope both of you can contribute your part. As for those earlier actions… it’s better to do less of that.”
