There weren't many people on the road.
Mostly it was people like them, attending classes from home, and they were in the minority.
The two were eating Hokkaido scallops by the roadside.
Apart from the flavor of the scallops themselves, there was also a hint of cheese.
"Are you going to stay up all night again?" Lin Miao Miao asked.
"Yeah."
Guan Shan Yue replied in a single word.
Seeing her smile, he knew she also had the same intentions.
"Why don't you take a couple of days off, relax a bit?"
"No! I'm still leveling up, doing dungeons, I just got a feel for it."
...
...
11 pm.
Guan Shan Yue just logged in.
As usual, there were hundreds of friend requests popping up.
Lan He was particularly outrageous and persistent.
Most people would stop after adding you three or five times in a row.
He had sent a whopping thirty to fifty requests!
He must have been sitting in his office, adding you every now and then...
If he could get into the dungeon, and there was extra rare material output, why not?
So he directly clicked "add."
Lan He and Xi Zhou were sitting there, yawning, looking like they were about to drop.
Jun Mo Xiao: Have you decided on the deposit yet? If it's any later, I'm going to run the dungeon, no turning back!
Seeing this message, Lan He became anxious.
"Forget it, forget it, Jun Mo Xiao, just Jun Mo Xiao."
Xi Zhou, mainly because he couldn't handle it himself, was trying to save some materials. But waiting until the middle of the night wasn't worth it.
Just as Lan He was about to hand over the materials.
A pop-up appeared: Congratulations, you have become friends with the player "Tian Wei Liang."
"Hey hey hey."
Lan He was so excited.
He patted Xi Zhou on the shoulder.
Xi Zhou also leaned in.
"He added me!"
Lan He started typing on his keyboard.
...
...
Lan He: Big brother! You finally replied, I was waiting for you for so long!
Guan Shan Yue saw the message and wanted to laugh.
After a few words of greeting.
Lan He stated his request.
Guan Shan Yue was very straightforward.
Tian Wei Liang: I helped you with the first kill once, 20 Sunstones, 10 Red Agates.
"What the?!"
"This guy's a real black sheep, all physical-type rare materials, Red Agates are especially rare." Xi Zhou said.
"Compared to him, Jun Mo Xiao is even blacker."
Lan He said.
His eyes lit up.
"Watch this."
He sent a message to Jun Mo Xiao.
...
...
Lan He: Brother, this price might need to be renegotiated.
Ye Xiu, sitting in front of his computer, felt a pang of disgust.
You've been waiting for so long, and you want to renegotiate?
Jun Mo Xiao: Why?
Lan He: Tian Wei Liang, that top player, you should know him, right?
Upon reading this.
Jun Mo Xiao understood what Lan He was trying to do.
Lan He: He's willing to help kill the dungeon for 20 Sunstones and 10 Red Agates.
"This kid! Competing with me on price?"
Ye Xiu mumbled to himself, leaning back and sinking into thought.
There were two options.
Either add Tian Wei Liang as a friend, keep the price the same, and let Lan He choose.
But if he didn't choose me, it would be like losing rare materials for nothing...
After much thought, Ye Xiu felt annoyed.
Once you have the businessman's mindset, it's hard to tolerate a competitor.
He immediately replied.
Jun Mo Xiao: Then I'll only take 15 Sunstones, 10 Sariras.
...
...
Lan He sent the same message to Guan Shan Yue.
"Heh, playing that game, huh?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Miao Miao leaned over to ask.
Actually.
Guan Shan Yue was tempted to just say "Go ahead, then," and stop haggling.
But, he wanted to screw over this Jun Mo Xiao.
Anyways, I'm not getting anything, so might as well make him lose out a bit.
Tian Wei Liang: 10 Sunstones, 8 Red Agates.
Seeing this message.
Ye Xiu was delighted.
"Hahaha, I'll pressure you one last time."
Apparently.
Ye Xiu had the same idea.
Jun Mo Xiao: 8 Sunstones, 6 Sariras.
Guan Shan Yue saw that the price was already cut in half, no need to keep screwing him over.
Tian Wei Liang: I quit, you guys go ahead.
...
...
Even though Guan Shan Yue announced his withdrawal.
Lan He and Xi Zhou were still ecstatic.
They immediately replied to Ye Xiu.
Lan He: Boss, he's quit, 8 Sunstones, 6 Sariras, let's go!
"What?!"
Ye Xiu was dumbfounded.
"No way, he quit already? This little rascal! What a scumbag, he's more cunning than me!"
The main reason was that Guan Shan Yue didn't see Ye Xiu's 囧 (jiong) face.
Otherwise, he would have been laughing himself silly.
Of course.
This was a one-time thing, allowing Lan He to take advantage.
He was still proud of himself.
He didn't know that behind it all was just Guan Shan Yue and Ye Xiu's personal grudge.
This time, he offended both Guan Shan Yue and Ye Xiu.
From then on, the two of them acted in unison, demanding outrageous prices, and never negotiating.
30 Sunstones, 15 Red Agates, you can farm it if you want!
...
...
At the same time.
Death Tide also sent a message: Big brother, we've decided to create a guild, how about you being the guild master?
He was still as sensible as ever...
With Tian Wei Liang's current reputation, practically every guild was vying for him.
Even offering him a "salary."
However, he hadn't added anyone, so his appeal wasn't as strong.
Especially now, with hundreds of guilds of all sizes, if you want people to join your new guild, you need someone to be the figurehead.
Guan Shan Yue considered that, as guild master, all submitted guild materials would be distributed by the guild master, which was quite beneficial.
And, it would be great if the guild succeeded, and if it didn't, it wouldn't be a big loss.
Tian Wei Liang: Okay, but I don't have time to manage it, you know my online time, less than 8 hours a day.
Death Tide: I've considered that, you give me a deputy guild leader, I'll manage it, Big brother you just have the name, everyone will see "Tian Wei Liang" as guild master and want to join.
This kid...
Tian Wei Liang: Then you create the guild.
Death Tide: Okay, what should we name the guild?
Tian Wei Liang: Anything simple will do, you decide.
Death Tide: Non-Mainstream?
Tian Wei Liang: ...
A Non-Mainstream guild... Too much non-mainstream.
