36: Contact the Snow Wolf Guild and reach an agreement with Lu Ziming

Chen Beixuan arrived at the destination as agreed.

From a distance, he saw two players with IDs starting with Snow Wolf standing there.

They had buzz cuts, stood ramrod straight, and exuded a tough-guy aura.

“This aura, this attire…”

Chen Beixuan narrowed his eyes, seemingly guessing something.

Just then, the other party also noticed him.

With beaming smiles, they walked towards him.

“Hello, I am Night Owl, the Guild Master of Snow Wolf Guild, and this is Bone, our Vice Guild Master.”

Night Owl smiled as he introduced himself, then pointed to Bone beside him.

“I’m just an old lone player, and this is the guild token you wanted.”

Chen Beixuan smiled as he took out the token.

“Uh… alright, I’ll transfer the money now.”

Night Owl had originally wanted to chat and build rapport, but he didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so direct.

[Ding! Snow Wolf Night Owl has transferred 6 million to you, automatically deposited into your bank card!]

Upon receiving the message, Chen Beixuan grinned.

The house money was in hand!

“I’ve received it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

Seeing him about to leave, Night Owl quickly called out to him, deciding to get straight to the point.

“Mr. Chen… Mr. Chen, I’d like to invite you to join our guild. I wonder if you’d be willing? The benefits will definitely satisfy you!”

Chen Beixuan had his back to the two of them, and upon hearing this, a faint smile curved his lips.

But when he turned around, he had an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry, I’m used to my freedom and don’t want to join a guild for now.”

“However…”

He changed the subject, a smile appearing on his face.

“We can be friends. Any items I drop in the future can be sold to you first.”

Night Owl’s eyes lit up at the words, and he laughed heartily.

“Alright, it’s settled then!”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, both parties departed…

Chen Beixuan opened his friends list and sent his location to I Want to Defy the Heavens.

However, he didn't receive a reply for a long time.

He didn't pay it much mind, assuming something had delayed him.

He found a place to sit and wait, while also pondering about Snow Wolf Guild.

If he wasn't mistaken, Snow Wolf Guild should be an official force.

People who served in the military all had a special aura and habitual movements ingrained in their Bones.

With a little careful observation, it was easy to distinguish them.

This also made it easy to explain why the Dragon Clan stopped competing after Snow Wolf made an offer.

Who couldn't afford to provoke whom was clear at a glance.

With the number of players and capital flow in “Myriad Worlds,” along with its multi-country joint operation background, it was only a matter of time before official entities entered the game.

Not to mention the future national wars and world servers.

Of course, he didn't care about these things; he had only seen them on the official website.

Now that the financial problem was solved, he could buy a house tomorrow and immediately improve his living environment.

Earning tens of millions overnight would only become more common in the future.

The remaining issue was personal safety.

As his fame grew, people would definitely investigate his true identity.

If he could connect with the officials, it would undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble.

He wasn't making a statement now simply because he hadn't yet gauged the officials' attitude.

If he rashly exposed his identity and was controlled and exploited as a laborer, he would be completely finished.

The second point was that he wanted to use the power of the officials to solve the custody issue.

However, he quickly dismissed this idea.

It wouldn't be appropriate for the officials to intervene in such matters.

After rectifying his thoughts, he quickly came up with another solution.

“As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. As long as you have money, anything can be obtained…”

A complete plan gradually formed in his mind, and Chen Beixuan’s lips slowly curved upwards.

Beep beep—

Just then, I Want to Defy the Heavens replied to the message.

[I Want to Defy the Heavens: Something came up, I didn’t see it just now. We’ve arrived. Where are you?]

Chen Beixuan stood up and waved to the few people in the teleportation array.

“Kid! Over here!”

Lu Ziming saw Chen Beixuan and led his people over.

As they got closer, Chen Beixuan realized that I Want to Defy the Heavens’ six-person team was now only five.

And each person’s face carried a hint of anger…

“What happened?” He frowned slightly.

Lu Ziming didn’t intend to hide it from him, speaking with some irritation.

“It was Extinction Guild. They blocked us outside Newbie Village, not letting us use the teleportation array, and then we had a fight.”

“Thanks to the equipment and skill books you gave us last time, plus Xiao Qiang holding them back at the rear, we were able to reach the main city.”

Lu Ziming sighed, somewhat helpless.

“It’s just a shame Xiao Qiang got killed and dropped to Level 9.”

“With Extinction Guild menacing outside Newbie Village, it’ll be impossible to reach the main city for a while.”

Chen Beixuan felt puzzled, “Didn’t Extinction Guild retreat yesterday? Why are they suddenly attacking again?”

Lu Ziming hesitated for a moment, then as if having made up his mind, he confessed.

“Sigh… I’ll tell you the truth…”

“My name is Lu Ziming, and I’m the son of Lu Hongqiang, the chairman of Xingji Corporation.”

“They must have been instructed by my father to deliberately suppress me.”

Chen Beixuan’s brows furrowed as he caught the key information.

“Extinction Guild is backed by Xingji Corporation?”

Lu Ziming seemed not to have expected him to ask that, Stunned for a while then quickly recovered.

“Yes, I made a bet with my father. In half a month, at the National League, if my team enters the top 32, he’ll no longer interfere with me.”

“Otherwise, I’ll have to join the company to learn and inherit the family business.”

“Oh, I get it. Classic.” Chen Beixuan murmured to himself.

“Classic? What’s that?” Lu Ziming asked, puzzled.

“Cough, it’s not important, you continue.”

He lightly coughed and raised a hand, signaling him to continue.

Lu Ziming scratched his head, bewildered: “Where was I just now?”

“……Never mind, the main points have been covered anyway.”

His expression suddenly turned to one of pleading, and he looked at Chen Beixuan with teary eyes.

“Grandpa, you absolutely must help me!”

“Whether I can gain my freedom completely depends on you!”

Lu Ziming grabbed his sleeve, acting dramatically, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

He was about to wipe it all on his sleeve!

Chen Beixuan’s eyelids twitched, and he subtly pulled his arm back.

He smiled and advised, “I think inheriting the family business is actually…”

“After it’s done, I’ll give you 100 million, presented with both hands!”

Chen Beixuan: “……”

“…I think inheriting the family business is actually meaningless, after all, freedom is more valuable!”

“You think so too?”

Lu Ziming’s eyes lit up, and he wiped away his snot and tears.

Then he excitedly grabbed Chen Beixuan’s hand, shaking it repeatedly.

“You are my soulmate, Grandpa!”

“So it’s settled, I thank you in advance, Grandpa!”

“Don’t worry, with our relationship, I’ll definitely help you.” Chen Beixuan said, patting his shoulder and smiling.

The big fox and the small fox hit it off, both tacitly avoiding the topic of money.

What is money? Friendship is priceless!

Being able to deal with the rebellious son and Manager Zhang, and also earn an extra 100 million on the side.

Such a good thing was impossible to find even with a lantern; there was no reason to refuse.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Ziming had a class change quest that required his help.

However, he first needed to go to the Adventurers’ Guild to create a guild.

His few teammates also went to receive their class change quests, so they decided to temporarily split up.

Chen Beixuan didn't plan to be idle during this time and decided to go outside the city to grind some monsters first.

He arrived at the Level 12 area outside the city and stopped.

It wasn’t far from the main city and was convenient for meeting up with Lu Ziming, so it was just right.

But just as he was about to make his move, a weathered uncle suddenly appeared before him.
