Chapter 363
"The guild is level eight now, thanks to you," Lu Li said sincerely as he lifted his cup .


Experiencing rebirth changed many things, but it didn’t change his ability to manage people . He didn’t have that ability in his previous life and he still lacked it now .
If the guild was in his hands, it wouldn’t have reached level eight in three days, like it had under Square Root 3’s leadership . He would have been bored by all the menial tasks and wouldn’t have been able to do Instance Dungeons, let alone take any First Clears .
Now he truly appreciated why Sorrowless was only level 18 .
Square Root 3 may not have been able to defeat him, but his management ability was way beyond his .
Lu Li didn’t mind expressing his respect for someone who had such an ability .
"You are the one to be thanked . After we got the First Clear today, the guild applications grew by a dozen pages . If we were to accept them all, we wouldn’t even be able to fit them into a level 20 guild," Square Root 3 shot back .
"That First Clear was just pure luck," Lu Li explained the situation that led up to it; his version of the story was more legitimate than the ones that other players had been spreading .
Lu Li wasn’t some kind of dunce; his reactions to situations were decisive and brutal . That was why many players looked to him with such high expectations .
"No wonder . They wanted to raise the level of their star player . " Square Root 3 clearly understood the situation .
Lu Li nodded and said, "They must have been . They reached a new part of the map, so they thought it was perfectly safe which gave me the opportunity . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had a chance . "


"They had one person take the last hit on the Boss…" Square Root 3 thought about that for a moment before continuing, "A mature team shouldn’t rely on one strong player – such reliance is only temporary . Their strength would only be an illusion and could come crashing down one day . "
For example, Sorrowless was assassinated by Lu Li in the Warsong Canyon and then, he had lost in the tournament . He was once a gaming legend, but now, the mysticism surrounding him had mostly faded .
Of course, he was currently making a comeback, so no one dared to underestimate him .
"Wait, this is something you have to deal with, right?" Lu Li asked . "You are to deal with how the guild is to grow . Hopefully, the guild won’t be affected on the day I am defeated . "
Square Root 3 smiled bitterly as he took a drink and replied, "You’ve asking for a lot even though you’re leaving it all to me . "
"It’s the most capable who do the most work," Lu Li responded . "I’m not a person who can do management work, but I think it is best if I leave it to someone who knows what they’re doing and not to interrupt them . "
"Thank you for your trust . " That was all Square Root 3 could say .
"You can ask Wandering for some help if you want; he has some talent in this area as well . "
"That guy is too lazy," Square Root 3 said as he waved his hand and gritted his teeth .
"Oh, you said you wanted to start professionalizing . How are you going to do that?" Lu Li asked modestly .
He had started gaming too late and had always played alone, so he didn’t know anything about guilds, let alone the matter of running the guild’s club .


"To put it simply, it is the professionalization of the Elite Teams," Square Root 3 said .

"Like signing a contract for a salary?" Lu Li asked .
"Almost . It’s extra incentive to concentrate on staying together . They will also need to have a stable income; this forces the employer find work for them," Square Root 3 explained before he jokingly said, "We are the capitalists exploiting the working class . "
Lu Li hated capitalists, but he didn’t hate being one .
"Another benefit is that it reduces the cost of training them and the risks of having a traitor within the guild," Square Root 3 continued as he opened another bottle of beer . "You must have already seen Gale Legion’s experience today . "
"Have they professionalized their elite teams?" Lu Li asked curiously .
"Only partly," Square Root 3 explained . "Of the top 30 guilds, the Gale Legion infamously contain a mixed bag of players with good and bad reputations . They specialize in taking PVP madmen who are usually unruly players . It makes focusing on progressing in the game a difficult thing to do . "
"Surely some players wouldn’t accept it?" Lu Li said after some thought .
Everyone had their own lives and were unwilling to drop whatever they had for a new career .
"They won’t oppose it, because those who do can’t enter our elite teams . "
Lu Li’s eyes widened . This guy actually wanted to exclude everyone who opposed . This strategy was just… insane . Lu Li had never heard of any guild that dared to do that .
Guilds were made up of a collection of players, ones that accepted the system of doing things . It was on this acceptance that the group continued to operate .
"Hear me out . " This kind of decision could determine the future style of management for Ruling Sword . He wouldn’t have done this without running the idea by his boss, but Square Root 3 was sure that he would be able to persuade Lu Li .
"Alright, explain . " Lu Li forced himself to calm down .
"First of all, we aren’t going lacking in players . Before even putting out any advertising materials, we already have enough applicants to fill up a level 20 guild . "
"True," Lu Li nodded . A level 20 guild could hold 20,000 people, but this was still a conservative number . If Lu Li just stood there and personally invited more people to join, it was likely that even more players would defect from their guilds .
"Will you continue to take First Clears?" Square Root 3 asked .
"Of course," Lu Li said confidently .
"Will the club be able to enter the top 100, wait no, the top 16 in the future?" Square Root 3 asked .
"Definitely . " Lu Li didn’t expect to take the championship next season, but he could definitely get into the top 16 at the very least . His goal was to be part of the top 3 .
"See – your guild’s name will only get bigger and bigger, which means there will be a steady stream of people wanting to join," Square Root 3 explained as he waved his hands and continued, "Which definitely means we won’t have a shortage of players, not now, or in the future . "
"I think I partially understand what you mean . " Lu Li wasn’t a fool .
Square Root 3 meant to say that there were more than enough players for the professionalization to work . Even if some couldn’t accept it and left, there would still be countless players who were waiting to take their spot .
"You’re also so good at Instance Dungeons," Square Root 3 sincerely said . "It doesn’t matter who you take or what level the difficulty is; you will be able to quickly solve the Instance Dungeon . "
Each guild had their own Instance Dungeon genius, but none were as ‘stunning’ as Lu Li .
"You give me too much credit . " Lu Li was a little anxious .
"You are the one who came up with the Howling Caves strategy and I gave that strategy to some reasonable players," Square Root 3 said . "But we can’t continue to do that in future . To be honest, I don’t really trust them . I only trust black and white contracts . "
As a person of authority, maintaining a level of discretion was important .
The Xin Xin Mercenary Group was able to produce such a close and warm atmosphere due to its smaller numbers .
"So you will have demanding terms for the elite teams, just in case they decide to leak the strategy . " Lu Li finally had a full understanding of Square Root 3’s plan . He didn’t want their strategies to be leaked either for as long as they were still useful to them . The longer they exclusively held the strategy, the longer they could keep reaping the rewards .
"I am already working on selecting some players . The first 100 players will gather in the city this week . " Square Root 3 knew that Lu Li would agree and had already begun work .
