Chapter 20: Rejecting the “Free” Alliance Leader Position
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You mean…”
The middle-aged man’s gaze slowly left the chessboard and met the old man’s gaze. “Do you want the Lord of the Sword to be the leader of the Player’s Alliance?”
“Yes.”
The old man’s gaze was indifferent as if it were a certainty that Bai Zun would be the leader of the Player’s Alliance. “You will be the one to settle this.”
“Yes.”
The middle-aged man nodded and replied solemnly.
Afterward, he stood up and left.
…
On the other side.
After dinner.
Bai Zun and Ye Shuishui didn’t stay idle. They left the villa to conquer the platinum-grade secret realm.
Ye Shuishui still lacked the “Ghost Snake’s Eyeball” to complete her fourth transition. If Bai Zun remembered it correctly, the “Ghost Snake’s Eyeball” could be found in the platinum-grade secret realm, the Ghost Snake Secret Realm.
Before this, Bai Zun and Ye Shuishui had almost finished conquering the platinum-grade secret realms around Autumn-Water City. To find the Ghost Snake Secret Realm, they expanded their search area.
Slowly, they arrived in Autumn-Forest County and brought Ye Shuishui’s mother, He Qin, to the villa.
When He Qin learned that the reason her daughter was so powerful was all because of Bai Zun, she immediately knelt to thank him, but he pulled her up in time.
It was true that Bai Zun had trained Ye Shuishui from the beginning, but he also had a purpose. He really couldn’t afford Ye Shuishui’s mother’s appreciation.
There were many rooms in the villa. He Qin picked one randomly and started tidying up with Ye Shuishui.
As for Bai Zun, he returned to his bedroom, sat down at his desk, and gently rubbed his temples.
The surrounding platinum-grade secret realms had been destroyed, but they still couldn’t find the Ghost Snake Secret Realm.
The second feedback would be the day after tomorrow. Even if they found it in these two days, Ye Shuishui wouldn’t have time to absorb it and advance.
“Just let it be.”
Bai Zun’s eyes were indifferent as he decided to give up.
However, his efforts over the past few days haven’t been in vain. While conquering the silver-grade secret realms, he also obtained many silver-grade weapons and tools. These would be the capitals to arm his guild in the future.
It was already late at night, and Bai Zun didn’t think much about it. After washing up, he fell asleep.
The next day.
Ye Shuishui had just woken up when she was attracted by a knock on the door.
Without opening the door, Ye Shuishui looked through the peephole and saw a kind-looking middle-aged man standing outside.
Knowing that Ye Shuishui was standing in front of the door, the middle-aged man smiled and said, “Hello, is this Mr. Bai’s house?”
Ye Shuishui said warily, “Who are you?”
The middle-aged man introduced himself and said, “I’m from the Dragon Country Official Player’s Alliance Creation Office. I’m here to discuss something with Mr. Bai.”
Someone from the Dragon Country Officials?
Hearing this, Ye Shuishui was stunned at first, then she said warily, “Alright, wait outside. I’ll inform my boss.”
“Sorry for the trouble.” The middle-aged man’s attitude was quite good.
As Ye Shuishui finished speaking, she didn’t wear any socks. She stepped on her snow-white little feet and knocked on the door of Bai Zun’s bedroom.
“Boss, someone is looking for you outside…”
Through the door, Ye Shuishui told Bai Zun about the middle-aged man.
Bai Zun responded in a deep voice, and Ye Shuishui returned to the door. She opened the door and let the middle-aged man sit in the living room for a while.
“Tell me, why are the officials looking for me?” Bai Zun adjusted his collar. The moment he saw the middle-aged man on the sofa, a smile appeared on his face.
Just now, from Ye Shuishui’s report, Bai Zun also learned that the middle-aged man came from the “Player’s Alliance Creation Office.”
Just by hearing the name, Bai Zun could tell what the middle-aged man’s intention was.
It wasn’t anything other than wanting Bai Zun to join the Official Player’s Alliance Creation Office.
If it were his previous life, Bai Zun would have joined without hesitation.
It was because the Player’s Alliance not only symbolized the country but also symbolized that even at the end of the game, they could still obtain better social welfare.
However, things are different now.
Bai Zun wanted to establish his guild and launch the bloodiest counterattack against the mutated beast clan!
Therefore, Bai Zun couldn’t be restricted by others.
If Bai Zun joined the Player’s Alliance, not to mention other positions, even if he was the leader of the alliance, he would be restricted by power to a certain extent.
It wasn’t what he wanted.
Although Bai Zun had decided not to join the Player’s Alliance, he didn’t chase the middle-aged man away directly. Instead, he sat opposite the middle-aged man.
Bai Zun asked first, “What should I call you?”
“Wang Yi. Lord of the Sword, you can just call me Xiao Wang.”
Even though Bai Zun was much younger than him, the middle-aged man kept a very low profile.
Before Wang Yi spoke, Bai Zun went straight to the point and asked, “What are you here for this time?”
Hearing this, Wang Yi was slightly stunned.
Wang Yi thought that he would have to exchange a few rounds of pleasantries before he could get to the point.
Wang Yi hadn’t expected Bai Zun to be so straightforward.
“It’s like this.”
Wang Yi tried his best to make his smile look kind and said, “The officials are preparing to create a Player’s Alliance to organize all the players in the Dragon Country to maintain social stability and the safety of the citizens.”
“Get to the point.” Bai Zun interrupted.
“Hmm… We would like to invite you to be the leader of the Player’s Alliance.” Wang Yi smiled awkwardly.
“What are the benefits of being the alliance leader?” Bai Zun’s expression was indifferent.
“Of course there are.”
Seeing that there was a chance of winning over Bai Zun, Wang Yi quickly counted his fingers and said, “If you become the alliance leader, you will have an official background, and your status in the Dragon Country will be much higher.”
In the next few seconds, Wang Yi was talking about the benefits of becoming the leader of the Player’s Alliance.
However, Bai Zun was expressionless throughout.
Bai Zun didn’t seem interested at all.
The more Wang Yi spoke, the more awkward he felt.
Wang Yi said carefully after finishing his last sentence, “What… What do you think?”
“I won’t be the alliance leader, but I can reach an agreement with you verbally.”
Bai Zun smiled and said in a domineering manner, “If the Dragon Country encounters a major disaster, I will help out. However, there are conditions.”
“What are the conditions?”
When Wang Yi heard Bai Zun say that he wasn’t going to be the alliance leader, his nerves tensed up, and his thoughts couldn’t help but follow Bai Zun’s words.
“The condition is…”
Bai Zun smirked and said, “The government has to unconditionally provide all the resources I need.”
“That’s easy.” Wang Yi agreed readily.
As long as they could rope Bai Zun in to work for the officials, everything would be fine.
Afterward, Wang Yi wanted to continue discussing the matter of inviting Bai Zun to be the leader of the alliance.
“That… Don’t you want to reconsider? Even if you become the alliance leader, it won’t take up too much of your time.” Wang Yi refused to give up.
However, Bai Zun vetoed the idea and said, “You should choose someone else to become the alliance leader.”
“Do you really refuse to do it…” Wang Yi still wanted to invite Bai Zun to become the alliance leader.
“I don’t want to say the same thing a third time.” Bai Zun’s eyes turned cold.
Instantly, a strong pressure fell on Wang Yi’s shoulder.
Wang Yi shut his mouth and smiled bitterly. He said that he wanted to make a call to contact his superiors and left with his phone.
Meanwhile, Bai Zun was sitting on the sofa and waiting.
Tomorrow will be the second round of feedback. At that time, equipment and the guild system would descend.
One had to know that, to build a super guild, the number of players was indispensable.
Moreover, for the guild members to focus on working for the guild, their families and relatives should follow them and live in the guild city.
Not only could the guild city ensure the basic safety of ordinary people, but it was also a weakness that Bai Zun could use to control the guild members.
When a guild member rebelled, his family was his best weakness.
Therefore, a large amount of resources was necessary.
Moreover, the government was the best source of resources.
Bai Zun and the mutated beast clan were irreconcilable enemies, so it was a good thing that he agreed to help the officials defend against the invasion of the mutated beasts and use the opportunity to obtain the resources needed to operate the guild.
Sitting on the sofa, Bai Zun closed his eyes to rest.
On the other side, Wang Yi, who was outside the door, dialed the number of his superior.
“Chief, the Lord of the Sword rejected our invitation…”
