Below the stands, Azure Windchime, Bloodfiends, and the like were recruiting new members . Apart from these larger, well-known clubs, the several dozen smaller ones were recruiting as well .
Azure Windchime only had a single requirement for joining, and that was to be a fellow guild member . No outsiders were allowed . If you wanted to join, you’d have to get accepted into Asskickers United first .
The recruitment requirements for Bloodfiends were a bit more unique . They only accepted Thieves . As long as you could defeat any one of their 20+ members, you could join . Dark, Ardent, Night, Shadow, and Seal had almost succeeded in killing Nie Yan in their last ambush attempt . So, for those who couldn’t join Azure Windchime, Bloodfiends wasn’t a bad choice either .
The smaller clubs also managed to recruit quite a few new members .
While everyone was busying themselves, a Warrior walked up to the center of the arena . His particularly handsome features attracted the gazes of quite a few girls in the crowd .
“Look! That’s the president of the student union, Fang Rujie!”
“Wow! What a hunk!”
. . .
Nie Yan overheard the voices of several excited girls . They all belonged to the dance faculty .
So, he’s the student union president, huh . Nie Yan narrowed his eyes . He would still have to pay attention to the several heavyweights in the Top Military Academy .
Xie Yao knitted her brows . She didn’t have a good impression of the people from the student union .
“A Level 85 Great Warrior! So amazing! He can easily take on those from Azure Windchime and Bloodfiends . That probably makes him the highest level player in our school, right?”
“No, I heard another student in our school is already Level 87, Qin Han or something . But that guy is a Mage . So, they’re probably around the same, considering Warriors level up more slowly . ”
“Look over there . You see that guy? That’s Qin Han . ”
“Wow . He’s even more handsome than Fang Rujie!”
Nie Yan looked at where the students were pointing and saw a Mage in black robes discussing something with Fang Rujie, who appeared to be behaving quite respectfully .
Those two are working together? Nie Yan knitted his brows .
The two appeared to have reached some sort of agreement . Fang Rujie gathered his subordinates and started recruiting people .
Nie Yan had asked Xu Yan before . Fang Rujie was an official recruiter for God Executioner Sword, one of two guilds that had recently risen to power in the Viridian Empire, the other being Penumbra Empire . They ranked third on the totem pole after the likes of Asskickers United, Divine Protectors, Holy Empire, Sapphire Shrine, Radiant Sacred Flame, the War God Tribe, and Battle Crazed Alliance .
Qin Han already acquired God Executioner Sword? Why didn’t I hear anything about it? Nie Yan brooded .
Nie Yan knew that the Monet Group had made some dealings in the Viridian Empire, including taking over some of the shops and other businesses of the Century Financial Group . But he had no idea they had already started acquiring guilds . Besides God Executioner Sword, how many other guilds were under their control?
The Monet Financial Group wasn’t that far behind the Century Financial Group in terms of financial resources . They were one of the oligarchs of South America and held great influence over the political sphere of that region . So, entering a game like Conviction was a simple matter for them .
No wonder the number of players joining from South America sharply increased recently . It seems like the Monet Financial Group has a hand in this… Nie Yan thought . The surge of new players coming from South America had even affected the demographic of the Viridian Empire . However, thanks to the automatic translation feature of Conviction they had no trouble communicating with others . Apart from a slight difference in appearance, they were essentially no different from any other player, which allowed them to smoothly integrate into the player base . Even Asskickers United had players from South America joining . Nie Yan took a prudent approach with these new members . Although he openly put his trust in them, he paid close attention to their movements from the shadows .
The Monet Financial Group’s acquisition of God Executioner Sword definitely came out of left field . An ominous feeling sprouted in Nie Yan’s heart . Qin Han, you’ve done well keeping your activities hidden for so long . Looks like I’ll have to start making preparations now if I don’t want any problems to arise in the future .
Nie Yan sent word to Guo Huai . He wanted all the activities of the Monet Financial Group and God Executioner Sword to be closely monitored .
After hearing God Executioner Sword was recruiting, the students of the Top Military Academy immediately became excited . After Asskickers United and Divine Protectors, the next strongest guilds were God Executioner Sword and Penumbra Empire . Those who felt they weren’t good enough to join Asskickers United planned to enter God Executioner Sword . As for those who were more confident in their skills, their first choice was still Asskickers United . Only if they failed to get into Asskickers United, would they start to consider other guilds .
The recruitment fair was bustling . Many students from the Top Military Academy wanted to join Asskickers United . Azure Windchime accepted quite a few people .
“Muslin, there sure are a lot of people this year . We’ve recruited at least 16 new members,” Undying Scoundrel said . Their ranks had increased again . At present, Azure Windchime was practically unrivalled in the Top Military Academy . Their biggest rivals were Bloodfiends . However, Undying Scoundrel greatly looked down on the players from Bloodfiends . In a one versus one duel, the players from Bloodfiends were worthless . Those cowards only knew how to gang up on others . What Undying Scoundrel despised the most were the wolf pack tactics of Bloodfiends . They were people who only knew how to win with numbers .
“Right, Lustboy and Natural Fiend came too . They’re still young and quite cute,” Muslin giggled .
Undying Scoundrel broke out in a cold sweat . He prayed for Lustboy and Natural Fiend . They were likely going to be eaten up by all the older sisters . He had gone through this bitter experience before too .
While Undying Scoundrel and Painted Muslin were chatting, a tall figure approached them . He looked like an iron tower . His muscles brimmed with power yet somehow weren’t bulky or restrictive . He wore armour with a dark golden sheen, a large and menacing skull at the center of his chest, and carried two large greatswords on his back . With the visual effects of his equipment turned on, he looked domineering, like a fierce steel titan .
Painted Muslin, Undying Scoundrel, and the others immediately turned to this person .
“It’s War God Lei Su!”
“Holy shit! Why is he here? He never joins these sorts of gatherings!”
The entire arena immediately went into an uproar . The commotion was far greater than when Fang Rujien and Qin Han appeared .
War God Lei Su . He was a legendary existence in the Top Military Academy . Because the various major competitions had yet to begin, the rankings were still to be confirmed . However, in the eyes of the students from the Top Military Academy, War God Lei Su was already an existence that prevailed over all .
Nie Yan also couldn’t help but take notice of War God Lei Su . Damn . That’s the Breuys Bone Armour Set! Someone actually managed to obtain this Sub Legendary-grade set!
Hearing the players around him, Nie Yan’s heart trembled . War God Lei Su was actually a student in the Top Military Academy! This was a shocking piece of news!
