Zhao Mingwei came online very early today. He logged in an hour after Jiang Qiao sent him a message.
If Zhao Mingwei had come an hour later, Jiang Qiao would've formed a random party or gone solo.
"No training today?"
As usual, Jiang Qiao was doing stretches before entering the dungeon. After Zhao Mingwei received the coordinates, he ran all the way to Lionheart City's port.
"The team is taking a break this afternoon. The entire club has gone out for team building. I'm taking this time to level up."
Zhao Mingwei glanced at the leaderboard along the way. He was currently level 27, outside of the top 100.
"There's team building in an esports club?"
"There's not only team building, there's also physical training. It's quite troublesome," Zhao Mingwei said.
"Alright, get in the party. I'm pulling you in. There's a new team dungeon up ahead. Let's try it out first."
Jiang Qiao didn't talk to Zhao Mingwei about real-life matters. Blue Star's esports players could be called true esports athletes. After all, VR games weren't limited to mice and keyboards.
Zhao Mingwei directly joined Jiang Qiao's party. His friend Lin Xi hadn't come online yet, so Jiang Qiao and Zhao Mingwei entered the Trial Tower map first.
The record on the first stone tablet in front of the Trial Tower map was gradually being occupied by strange players' IDs.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the fourth place team. The fourth place team's record had a prefix, which was Leaping Nucleus Guild. After that were the players' IDs. They were Yu Zhongqu, Ion Spark, Overreaction, Tablecloth, Ten Cats, Nine Dollars, and Mo Shigui.
Their record was 43 minutes and 21 seconds. They were less than a minute behind the old Magician's team when he was young …
This guild prefix was a small function that Jiang Qiao had added. When everyone in the team belonged to the same guild, the record would carry the guild prefix.
The Leaping Nucleus Guild could be said to be the largest guild in Holy Ghost. There were a total of 13 members in the guild.
Jiang Qiao guessed that this Instance Dungeon record was definitely not the limit of this guild. Thinking about the Tower of Trial record that the old Mage had spent his entire life challenging, and now it was about to be broken by a group of 'babies' who were not even a month old, Jiang Qiao felt that it was a bit … comical.
"Daydream is already online. Do you want me to invite another person?"
When Zhao Mingwei arrived at the entrance of the Trial Tower's Instance Dungeon, he discovered that the maximum number of players allowed for a challenge was six.
"You go over there. I'll ask around here too."
Jiang Qiao also opened his friend list and asked if there was anyone on it who wanted to play the dungeon.
There weren't many people on Jiang Qiao's friend list. Jiang Qiao mainly asked the healer if she wanted to increase the price, as well as the Mo Saber Swordsman that he had met before.
"My friend is here."
Zhao Mingwei said at this time. Daydream that Lin Xi controlled had already arrived at the entrance of the dungeon through the portal. Following Lin Xi was a Paladin in heavy armor.
This Paladin's ID was Mo Shigui, and he was one of the members of the third team on the record.
"Smile, happy game … Hmm … You're finally online." The Paladin named Mo Shigui saw that Jiang Qiao was next to him. For a moment, he didn't know how to address Zhao Mingwei.
He directly used Zhao Mingwei's ID to call out and pointed at the Leaping Nucleus Guild above his head.
"This game hasn't been released for long. In the future, we'll definitely be running dungeons often. Just join my guild with your friend." Mo Shigui said.
"I've already joined a guild." Zhao Mingwei said.
"Ah?"
Mo Shigui was stunned for a moment. Zhao Mingwei's name didn't have a guild symbol below it. He felt that this game should have some way to hide the guild name, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the guild name?"
Zhao Mingwei didn't answer. He only looked at Jiang Qiao. At this moment, Mo Shigui was still daydreaming. Even the Leaping Nucleus Guild players behind him looked at Jiang Qiao.
"Uh, I haven't thought about it yet."
Jiang Qiao's words were the truth. Jiang Qiao had been busy with the Trial Tower dungeon the entire morning. Right now, he only wanted to create a guild. As for the guild name, Jiang Qiao really hadn't thought about it.
"He hasn't thought about it yet." Zhao Mingwei very seriously replied to Mo Shigui.
"There's nothing wrong with my earpiece. I can hear it … So I'm still late?" Mo Shigui wasn't angry that he had missed out on a great general.
He and Zhao Mingwei had been friends for seven or eight years, so he was very clear about Zhao Mingwei's personality. He was a man of his word.
There was a saying in the professional circle: you can always trust Zhao Mingwei.
This saying, apart from Zhao Mingwei's steady performance, was also due to Zhao Mingwei's honest personality.
"Your message was half an hour late. When you sent the message, I had already promised him." Zhao Mingwei said.
"Then let's change the topic. Are we going to dungeon?
You sent a message saying that this dungeon is still lacking people. "
Mo Shigui glanced at Jiang Qiao and didn't say anything. There was a tacit understanding between them that Jiang Qiao couldn't describe.
Jiang Qiao was in a daze. The members of Leaping Core were also in a daze when they saw the conversation between their guild leader and this Qi Master.
This was because they all knew that Jiang Qiao's guild hadn't even been built yet. The Leap Core Guild was currently the largest guild in Holy Ghost, and his old friend was still in the Leap Core Guild. If this Qi Master's thought process was slightly normal, he would join the Leap Core Guild.
Lin Xi saw it the clearest among the bystanders, so he immediately sent a private message to Zhao Mingwei.
'Master Xiao!
The right thing to do right now is to get a god to join Old Song's guild! '
'You're a member of The Monarch Descends, but you defected to Leaping Core. If Coach Su finds out, he'll punish you with another hundred sets of physical training!'
Zhao Mingwei didn't hold back when he ridiculed Lin Xi.
'We're playing … Holy Ghost right now. It has nothing to do with the professional circle, right?'
'It has nothing to do with the professional circle. That's why I can't join Old Song's guild.'
This sentence made Lin Xi ponder for a moment. He quickly understood what Old Song, or rather, Mo Shigui, and Zhao Mingwei were thinking.
Mo Shigui was currently the coach of Leaping Core, and he was also a shareholder of the club … The business scope of this club wasn't limited to just Dispute.
Zhao Mingwei had signed a contract with The Monarch Descends, which meant that if Zhao Mingwei left The Monarch Descends two years in advance, he wouldn't be able to participate in any activities related to Dispute for two whole years …
He wasn't even allowed to livestream, and Zhao Mingwei didn't have much savings in the past few years. Therefore, in Mo Shigui's eyes, Master Xiao, the god of Dispute, was in the hands of The Monarch Descends.
However, Holy Ghost was a completely different game. Lin Xi had a feeling that Holy Ghost's popularity wouldn't be any lower than Dispute's in the future. In less than a year, they might even surpass Dispute.
When that time came … Zhao Mingwei's contract with The Monarch Descends wouldn't have much meaning, as long as Zhao Mingwei made his debut as a professional player of Holy Ghost.
The problem was that Lin Xi guessed that Zhao Mingwei only wanted to play the game happily.
'Alright, I'll join Brother God's guild too. What's your guild called?'
'I don't know.' Zhao Mingwei typed.
"God!
What's the name of your guild? "Seeing that Zhao Mingwei wasn't willing to tell him, Lin Xi took the initiative to ask Jiang Qiao.
"I haven't built it yet, don't rush … Let me think about it and finish this dungeon first."
Jiang Qiao only wanted to form a party for this dungeon. Jiang Qiao's Water Spirit and Fire Spirit were already rubbing their hands together impatiently.
