29: Chapter 29 Lingxiao Pavilion visits, delivering resources

These past two days, Luofeng Village has been sizzling hot.

After the Wild Wolf Gang disbanded, the queue at the village entrance didn't shrink; instead, it grew even longer.

People grinding monsters, doing quests, delivering gifts, and seeking to meet Lin Chen—the line stretched as far as the eye could see.

Then, at noon today, ten beams of white light suddenly flashed in succession at the village entrance's teleportation array.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Ten players stepped out simultaneously.

Every single one of them was high-level.

Every single one of them was well-equipped.

Most eye-catching of all were the three temporary mule accounts following them, carrying goods; their backpacks were bulging, almost to the point of bursting.

The luster of high-level forging materials and the edges of blue-tier equipment could be seen from far away.

The players at the village entrance were stunned, and then they exploded into an uproar.

"It's people from Lingxiao Pavilion!"

"Holy crap, and it's the core team!"

"I know that guy, it's Lingxiao Pavilion's Vice President, Gu Changfeng!"

"What are they here for? Delivering so much stuff?"

The ten of them didn't put on airs.

As soon as they exited the teleportation array, they proactively sheathed their weapons and walked with light steps.

The young man leading them wore blue-black light armor, his expression composed, and his ID above his head was very conspicuous.

[Player: Gu Changfeng] [Guild: Lingxiao Pavilion] [Position: Vice President] [Level: 11]

He looked up toward the earthen slope at the village entrance, saw Xing Jianwan first, visibly exhaled in relief, and then quickly led his group over.

Players along the way automatically made way.

No one dared to stop them.

Now the entire server knew that in a place like Luofeng Village, you couldn't just throw your weight around regardless of your level.

Gu Changfeng stopped ten meters in front of the earthen slope and proactively nodded at Xing Jianwan.

"Sister Wan."

Xing Jianwan glanced at him, her tone calm: "Why are you here?"

Gu Changfeng gave a wry smile: "The guild couldn't sit still anymore."

After saying this, his gaze immediately turned to Lin Zhe.

After just one look, his expression became even more solemn.

The man before him, dressed in coarse linen clothing, clearly still had the appearance of a Refugee NPC, yet standing there, his aura was so imposing that people didn't dare to speak recklessly.

Beside him, Lin Chen was being held by Xing Jianwan, his little face quiet, the golden mark on his forehead glowing faintly.

Gu Changfeng's heart trembled, and he even softened his breathing.

He didn't waste a single word, directly raising his hand: "Bring the goods up."

The nine people behind him immediately stepped forward.

Boxes of high-level materials and pieces of blue-tier equipment were neatly arranged in front of the earthen slope.

Refined Iron Ingots, Moonlight Silk, High-Quality Beast Bones, Blue-tier Bracers, Blue-tier Longswords, Blue-tier Robes...

The surrounding players stared with wide, unblinking eyes.

"Three backpacks full!" "This is too exaggerated!" "Lingxiao Pavilion is really generous!"

Gu Changfeng ignored the exclamations around him, bowed his head slightly toward Lin Zhe, and kept his attitude extremely humble.

"Mr. Lin." "Coming here this time, our Lingxiao Pavilion doesn't have any other intentions." "We just want to talk about cooperation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly went quiet.

A vice president of a top-tier guild personally bringing generous gifts to visit. And keeping such a humble attitude. This level of respect was off the charts.

Gu Changfeng continued: "The value of Luofeng Village right now is visible to the entire server."

"Our Lingxiao Pavilion is willing to provide resources, provide manpower, and is willing to follow the rules."

"We only hope that Mr. Lin can give us a chance to let Lingxiao Pavilion members have priority entry into Luofeng Village to grind levels and do quests."

"If there are guilds stirring up trouble outside the village, our Lingxiao Pavilion can also be responsible for clearing them out."

He said this, then added another sentence: "As long as we can cooperate, the terms are negotiable."

Lin Zhe hadn't spoken yet. Lin Chen had already lifted his little face and spoken in a milky, childish voice.

"We can talk."

Gu Changfeng's expression straightened, and he immediately looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen patted Xing Jianwan's arm with his little hand; his tone was soft, but the content was not soft at all.

"First, Lingxiao Pavilion will hand over thirty percent of rare materials every month."

"Second, you are responsible for clearing out any guilds causing trouble around Luofeng Village."

"Third, once you enter Luofeng Village, you are not allowed to bully solo players, not allowed to steal quests, and not allowed to break the rules."

"If you can do that, I will give you priority entry rights." "And I will add an extra 3% experience buff for Lingxiao Pavilion members."

These three sentences fell. The surrounding players were all stunned dumb.

"Thirty percent of rare materials!" "And we have to help clear out troublemaking guilds!" "These terms are not low!"

But Gu Changfeng didn't hesitate for even half a second: "I agree."

He answered too quickly. So quickly that the few core members of Lingxiao Pavilion beside him were stunned for a moment.

But Gu Changfeng didn't feel it was a loss at all.

Right now, the experience, drop rates, quests, and hidden rewards of Luofeng Village—which one of them wasn't sizzling hot?

Never mind thirty percent. Even fifty percent, he would be willing to give.

Rare materials could be farmed again. But priority status for Luofeng Village wasn't something just anyone could snatch up.

Gu Changfeng immediately stepped forward half a step, his tone even more respectful: "From today on, all members of Lingxiao Pavilion will abide by the rules of Luofeng Village."

"We will deliver the materials every month on time." "Whoever dares to cause trouble here, there is no need for Mr. Lin to speak; we will handle it ourselves."

After listening, Lin Chen nodded his little head with satisfaction: "That will do."

After he finished speaking, he pointed his little hand at Gu Changfeng. Hum—a pale golden light instantly descended.

Immediately after, it split into ten strands, falling onto those ten core members of Lingxiao Pavilion respectively.

A prompt popped up before everyone's eyes simultaneously.

[Congratulations on obtaining Luofeng Village priority entry rights] [Congratulations on obtaining Lingxiao Pavilion cooperation buff] [Effect: Experience gain increased by an additional 3%]

Gu Changfeng looked down and saw it; his breathing became heavy. It actually worked!

The nine core members of Lingxiao Pavilion beside him were even more excited: "It really added 3%!" "Priority entry is also unlocked!" "Vice President, we hit the jackpot!"

The surrounding players were in an uproar: "They actually reached an agreement?" "Lingxiao Pavilion really knows how to get things done!" "In the future, it's probably going to be even more competitive to get into Luofeng Village."

Xing Jianwan stood beside Lin Zhe, and seeing Gu Changfeng being so sensible, she was visibly relieved.

She looked down at Lin Chen in her arms, then looked up at Lin Zhe, her cold, clear eyes carrying a rare, soft smile: "Fortunately, they weren't stupid."

Lin Zhe nodded faintly: "As long as they are sensible."

Hearing this, Gu Changfeng felt completely reassured. This meant the cooperation was settled.

He immediately turned around and spoke in a low voice to the few people behind him: "Register all the items into the warehouse." "Also, notify the guild's main force: from now on, when entering Luofeng Village, learn the rules first." "Whoever dares to mess around, I will kick them myself."

"Yes!" The ten core members of Lingxiao Pavilion responded in unison.

Outside the earthen slope, more and more players were watching this scene, and their eyes had completely changed.

Before, it was solo players lining up to deliver gifts. Now, even top-tier guilds were bringing three backpacks of resources to beg for cooperation. The status of Luofeng Village was already completely different.

Lin Chen lay in Xing Jianwan's arms and gave a small yawn, but his little hand slowly raised again.

On the bulletin board at the village entrance, the pale golden text in the Lingxiao Pavilion cooperation rights column slowly lit up.

And further away, the teleportation array was still flashing constantly. Clearly, Lingxiao Pavilion would not be the only one eyeing Luofeng Village.
