The duel ended with Silver Wolf taking the initiative to admit defeat.
Silver Wolf then went into the depths of the forest to retrieve the boomerangs. However, Happy was still intrigued by the people Silver Wolf mentioned, because he seemed to have some specific people in mind.
When he asked him about it, Silver Wolf did not immediately answer him.
He looked Happy in the eyes and asked, “What do you think of my strength compared to the people on the Dragon Rank?”
As expected of a man who came from an army. He only mentioned the Dragon Rank and not the Phoenix Rank. The spirit of male chauvinism was very clear.
“You’re very strong. There might not be many on the Dragon Rank who can win against you.”
Silver Wolf’s expression grew strange as he looked at Happy. He seemed to be quite displeased with his answer.
“And how many do you think can compare to you on the Dragon Rank?”
“Many.”
“I don’t think so. There will definitely be fewer that his many people who can compare to you on the Dragon Rank.” Silver Wolf put up two fingers with a stern expression. “I’ve actually fought against a few people who are ranked at the top of the Dragon Rank. They rely too much on the techniques in the game, and their understanding of them isn’t deep, so I won very easily.”
Happy nodded quietly. He did not doubt it at all.
Silver Wolf had been paying attention to Happy’s facial expressions throughout the conversation. This time, he seemed to be quite satisfied. “Do you know when I entered the game?”
He did not wait for Happy’s answer before speaking up again. “Three months ago.”
“Huh?”
Happy’s expression instantly changed!
‘Three months ago? Doesn’t that mean that he entered the game two months later than I did? If I don’t count the time I spent at Murong Clan, he still joined the game one and a half months later than I did… His training speed is insane…’
When he saw the shocked expression on Happy’s face, a smile bloomed on Silver Wolf’s face.
“I won’t lie to you. During the first half a month I entered the game, I didn’t practice any of the martial arts they had. I entered the army when I was thirteen, and I was just discharged from the army. My understanding of VR games is nil.” He sighed deeply. “But once I entered, I realized that the fighting techniques and hard qigong I learned in the army made it very easy for me to handle the monsters in the game. I could do it faster than anyone else, and so, at that time, I looked down even more on you lot, who only learned martial arts in the game…”
Happy said nothing to interrupt Silver Wolf while he stared at the man as he spoke.
“Those who came with me are still figuring out the game. I can be considered to be among those who have quite good learning abilities, and I managed to live through it. But I think that even if they’re behind in terms of qi realm, in at most two months, many of the names on the Dragon Rank will change!”
Silver Wolf’s words left Happy fearful.
He did not really care about the Dragon Rank in his previous life. He was also not very clear about the changes in it. However, based on Silver Wolf’s words, if the people who were trained in reality had such a great advantage when they entered the game, then he might have quite a number of powerful enemies appearing in the near future.
“I’m telling you all this now because I hope that you can get prepared and develop quickly. Don’t be blinded by the glory you have right now, or else, it will be very difficult for you to have a repeat of the glorious battle at Common Reed Bank.”
While Silver Wolf spoke, he frowned and looked in the direction from which they came from. There was noise coming from there.
Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Happy turned around and looked at them.
“They sure are persistent.” He paused for a moment before he quickly said to Silver Wolf, “Let’s talk about this later. I’ll keep my promise. Tell me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer five million to you before tomorrow. I also hope that you’ll keep your promise and be under my employment for the next five years.”
“Alright!” Silver Wolf’s expression under the incomplete silver mask was firm, and he spoke with great resolve. “My life is yours for the next five years.”
Once he received Silver Wolf’s answer, Happy jumped on his horse resolutely.
“Go to Baokang and look for Thunderous Battle. Stay in Baokang for the time being.”
Once he finished speaking, he rode into the depths of Shennongjia with his horse.
*****
While Happy and Silver Wolf were busy fighting, Red Dust and Lix Xiao of Chivalry Sect arrived in Baokang County Town. They came together to the first floor of Shennong Restaurant.
Thunderous Battle and Little North were close to Red Dust and Lin Xiao, so they naturally chatted with each other in a lively manner for some time. Soon, the conversation shifted to the alliance between the five sects and their plan to exploit Shennongjia’s resources together.
When they talked about the details of the plan, they placed an emphasis on the second level of the crystal mines, metal mines, and the various medicinal spots in Shennongjia. The mines had very harsh requirements to enter, and they had not explored the mines sufficiently at all as of then. Soon, the five sects came to a decision. Each sect would send a certain number of miners, and each sect could take up one-fifth of the second level at most!
As for the medicinal spots, they signed a contract that they would not intrude upon each other’s territory. Like that, they formed an alliance to attack and defend together…
Because of it, the other large sects in Baokang could not interfere with the matters in the second level of the crystal and metal mines anymore. When they wanted to snatch the resources from Shennongjia, they had to be careful in their actions when they saw the people from the five sects.
The only condition in the alliance was that in the future, when they saw the members of Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace appear near Baokang, they would immediately share their resources and information and mobilize their forces to surround and attack them!
This meant that the area around Baokang County Town turned into a forbidden ground for the three great sects!
There was no way Lin Xiao would object to such a great matter. He immediately agreed to the alliance on the spot, and it allowed everyone to see Chivalry Duke Lin Xiao’s bold and forthright attitude dictating him to take action swiftly.
The alliance between the five sects was formed easily, just like that.
However, during the period of time the alliance was formed, something unexpected happened.
A female player called Red Coral appeared at Shennong Restaurant. She had somehow obtained the information that Happy wanted to build his sect, and she declared that she and Happy were old acquaintances. She then led a group of female players from Black Rose Clan and entered Mu Clan in a group, which made Thunderous Battle and those already in Mu Clan incredibly happy.
The addition of the disciples from Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple had made Mu Clan have a lot of boys and few girls. So when group of petite and refined ladies joined, even Strength Star and hs group of monks became worldly. They wiggled their eyebrows at each other.
“Where’s your boss?”
Red Coral stared at Little North and Thunderous Battle.
One of the reasons she had come over twas because she wanted to join Mu Clan. But the system from her family was still around, and there were plenty of things she wanted to tell Happy frankly.
There was also another very important matter that needed to be settled immediately, but the people at the table looked at each other at a loss.
“Clan Master Thunder is the one currently in charge of everything in Mu Clan. Miss Coral, if you tell him, it’s the same,” one person said.
Thunderous Battle quickly shook his head to avoid trouble.”Be responsible of your words, will you? I’m not in charge of things related to leading women.”
The girls from Black Rose Clan were exceptional girls. When they heard it, they glared at him at the same time.
Red Coral exchanged a glance with her clan leader, Black Rose, and Black Rose said, “Clan Master Thunder, this is what is happening. My sisters are used to being free, and they will need some time before they can get used to being in another clan. Hence, for the time being, we wish to have our own circle of operations as well as the right to organize our own activities freely. We will also not give up on our title as Black Rose Clan.”
“What’s the meaning of this? You only want to be parasites in Mu Clan?” The people in the restaurant scowled.
Red Coral did not bat an eyelid. She explained it earnestly and seriously. “I suppose you can say that, but we can contribute to your clan in another way. We have three groups of sisters who are ironsmiths and tailors at Skilled Level. We also have grade six herbalists. They should fulfill the requirement for Mu Clan’s development needs.”
When Red Coral came over, she had gathered quite a lot of information and performed some analysis. She knew very clearly about Mu Clan’s plans for growing stronger quickly. Hence, she presented an offer that Thunderous Battle could not refuse.
