"Yo, everyone is waiting here!"
After waiting in the conference room for about twenty minutes, Yao Guang suddenly pushed open the door to the conference room and appeared in the room.
Yaoguang sat on the chairman's seat, then glanced at Guhan and smiled. "Mr. Military Governor, you called me here to have this meeting. What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. There are just some things that need to be dealt with!"
Guhan stood up and suddenly bowed to Yaoguang. Then, he bowed deeply to all the members.
"Mr. Military Governor, what are you doing?" Guhan was stunned, then quickly held onto Guhan's waist. "Everything was fine. What are you doing?"
"Mr. Yaoguang, everyone, I, Military Governor, am bowing to apologize to you!" Guhan sounded very sincere.
"Apologize!
Now you know how to apologize! "Steel Centipede exploded when he heard Guhan's apology." What's the use of apologizing now?
You should have commanded us to rush forward and rescue Artoria, then continue leading us to complete the dungeon, instead of apologizing to us here. We don't need it! "
"Sigh!
Military Governor, you really don't need to apologize for this.
I have also read your dungeon report. Although I'm not sure why you chose to retreat at that time, I believe that Military Governor, you must have sufficient reasons to do so. I believe in you. You don't need to apologize! "Yaoguang's words were very considerate, as if he did not blame Guhan's choice to retreat at all.
"Steel Centipede, you misunderstood," Guhan glanced at Steel Centipede, then at Yaoguang. "Mr. Yaoguang, you also misunderstood!
My apology is not for the choice to retreat just now, but for the big words I said. "
"A boast?" Yaoguang was stunned. He didn't know what kind of boast Guhan had said.
"Before entering this instance dungeon, I told everyone that I am confident that we can push the dungeon's progress to at least 70%. As long as everyone listens to my commands, we will definitely succeed."
At this point, Guhan bowed again. "I'm sorry, I broke my promise. This time, I didn't even reach 60% of the progress. I apologize for my big words."
Guhan's apology made everyone look at each other. They had no idea what Guhan was up to.
…
"I apologize for saying that we can achieve at least 70% progress. Now, I want to say something to everyone."
Guhan naturally returned to his seat and looked around. "Next time, our instance dungeon progress will be at least 100%."
"What?"
"What?"
Guhan's words made the meeting room restless again. This guy had just apologized for 70%, and now he was talking nonsense about achieving 100%. Where did he get his confidence from?
Except for Hongyu who maintained absolute calmness, everyone, including Yaoguang, had different expressions. No one knew what they were thinking.
"Good, Mr. Military Governor!" Suddenly, Yaoguang began to applaud.
However, only Yaoguang was applauding. The others looked confused, which made Yaoguang's loud applause sound monotonous and awkward.
However, Yaoguang didn't seem to care about the awkward applause. He continued to applaud and the applause grew louder.
"Hehe!"
Hongyu suddenly laughed. After Yaoguang's applause, she also applauded. Moreover, the applause suppressed Yaoguang's momentum.
After Hongyu, Magic Pen also began to applaud. Magic Pen's applause was very rhythmic. Every slap seemed to be hitting an unknown beat.
"What is going on?"
Seeing that everyone in the conference room began to applaud inexplicably, even the You siblings began to applaud. Steel Man involuntarily began to applaud along with everyone, and because his palm was the largest, he was the one who applauded the loudest among the six.
In the face of this inexplicable yet unusually loud applause, Guhan couldn't help but feel some respect for Yaoguang.
With such a leader, Yaoguang Sword Sect would not have to worry about not replacing one of the Ten Major Sword Sects.
…
"Mr. Military Governor, you specifically invited me here. I don't think it's as simple as apologizing and telling me that the next time I can achieve 100% progress!"
Yaoguang put down his hands and looked at Guhan. "Tell me, you still have something you need my help with."
"It's not a big deal. I hope to send a letter of challenge to Great Waves in the name of Yaoguang Sword Sect!"
Guhan clicked on his personal terminal a few times, and a letter of challenge with a few dozen words was projected into the air.
"Tss …" Those who read the letter sucked in a breath of cold air. Although there were not many words in the letter, for Great Ocean Waves, every word was filled with provocation and disdain. If this letter were to be sent to Great Ocean Waves, the two sword sects would surely explode.
Even with Yaoguang's temperament and shrewdness, he couldn't help but take a few steps back after reading the letter of challenge. He rubbed his temples. "Mr. Military Governor, you're still full of confidence in yourself and our Yaoguang Sword Sect!
May I ask why Mr. Military Governor would issue such a letter of challenge? This way, our Yaoguang Sword Sect will have established the strongest enemy in the game! "
"Of course there are benefits."
Guhan smiled. "Let's not talk about other things. After this letter of challenge, your Yaoguang Sword Sect's fame and reputation in the game will be able to go hand in hand with Great Waves. You'll be able to squeeze out the tenth place and officially enter the Ten Major Sword Sects. It'll be a big step forward."
"That's just a false reputation. Without the support of strength, everything is just an illusion to our Yaoguang Sword Sect." Yao Guang shook his head. "If this is the only reason, forgive me for rejecting this request."
"What if this letter of challenge can increase the strength of our Yaoguang Sword Sect?"
Guhan tapped on his personal terminal again. Under the letter of challenge, there were more than ten lines of small words.
Yaoguang's eyes lit up when he read the words clearly. If this letter of challenge could really be realized, his Yaoguang Sword Sect's strength would undoubtedly increase tremendously. Even if they had to face Great Waves as an enemy, it wouldn't be a loss.
This game and the environment of humans forbade PK between major guilds. As long as Yaoguang Sword Sect focused on avoiding the battle, Great Waves wouldn't be able to cause any substantial damage to Yaoguang Sword Sect. By the time the results of this letter of challenge were digested, Yaoguang Sword Sect's strength would naturally become one of the Ten Major Sword Sects.
Not to mention, this letter of challenge would greatly increase Yaoguang Sword Sect's reputation.
"I admit that this letter of challenge will indeed bring great benefits to Yaoguang Sword Sect. However, what benefits does it bring to you, Mr. Military Governor?"
Yaoguang was tempted. He just couldn't figure out why Guhan wanted him to issue such a letter of challenge.
"Of course, I want benefits too!" Guhan tapped on his personal terminal again, and another line of words appeared at the bottom.
"I see!"
Yaoguang nodded, but immediately asked, "Mr. Military Governor, why didn't you issue this letter of challenge alone? Why did you drag my Yaoguang Sword Sect along?"
"It's simple. If I issue this letter of challenge alone, with Great Waves Sword Sect's identity, they will definitely ignore me.
However, if it's Yaoguang Sword Sect issuing it, then Great Waves Sword Sect has no reason to reject it. Great Waves Sword Sect will definitely agree to this letter of challenge. "
Guhan was right. Great Waves Sword Sect could ignore an ordinary player's provocation.
However, he couldn't ignore a sect's provocation.
If Great Waves Sword Sect rejected it, regardless of the reason, in the eyes of the players, it would be seen as Great Waves Sword Sect admitting defeat. This was something that Great Waves Sword Sect couldn't accept. Hence, Great Waves Sword Sect would definitely agree to it.
"Then, there's only one question left."
Yaoguang sat up straight. "Mr. Military Governor, why should I believe that you will be able to complete the First Clear of the S-Class Instance Dungeon before Great Waves Sword Sect?"
"If we issue the letter of challenge according to Mr. Military Governor's instructions, once you fail the First Clear of the S-Class Instance Dungeon, then our Yaoguang Sword Sect will suffer heavy losses. Half of our sect's assets will be lost. Why should I believe you?
You have to know that under your command, we didn't even reach 60% of the progress the last time! "
Just a few minutes ago, Yaoguang had said that he believed that Guhan would fulfill his promise. However, now, he was doubting Guhan again.
"Of course. I wonder if Mr. Yaoguang would like to have a private chat with me?" Guhan extended his hand and gestured for Yaoguang to leave.
"Alright!
Then I'll listen to what Mr. Military Governor has to say to me! "
Yaoguang stood up and followed Guhan out of the meeting room. After a few minutes, a letter of challenge was manually pushed to the top of the forum. It complemented Military Governor's Emperor Sword Level Mission and Great Waves Sword Sect's Instance Dungeon progress post. The three of them created a storm in the forum.
…
"Letter of Challenge"
To Great Waves Sword Sect:
Our sect heard that your esteemed sect has completely cleared the Hidden Instance Dungeon and secretly said that we are stuck at 60% of the progress. We are not happy and wish to compete with your esteemed sect.
Today, our sect has prepared a small wager. The first to clear the S-Class will be the winner. I wonder if your esteemed sect dares to make a bet?
This was a rather short sentence. When translated, it was: I heard that you have already cleared the Hidden Instance Dungeon and secretly said that we are stuck at 60% of the progress.
We are not happy and wish to compete with your esteemed sect.
Now, our Sword Sect has prepared a small wager. The first sect to clear the Instance Dungeon with an S-Class will be the winner. I wonder if you dare to make a bet with us.
Then, below the letter of challenge, there was a list of the names and numbers of items to be used as the wager.
There were many types and numbers of items. Gathering all these items would be enough to bankrupt a small sect or even a medium-sized sect.
For Yaoguang Sword Sect, this was more than half of the sect's heritage.
Even when compared to Great Waves Sword Sect's heritage, these items were not to be underestimated.
What was noteworthy was that, at the last position of the wager, there was an additional sentence:
Military Governor is willing to use the 'One and Only Jiandi Level Starting Mission' as a wager for the 'Three Demon Subduing Sword Formation'.
Yes, the 'One and Only Jiandi Level Starting Mission' could be used as a wager.
As long as Guhan shared the mission with another person and gave up the mission at the cost of failing the mission, it would be equivalent to trading the mission away.
