Chapter 195: Exiled Bandit

Demon Suppression. Five, the quest has already been accepted.

Su Sheng wasn't in a hurry to do it; after leaving the Demon Suppression Office, he headed straight for the pet trainer and mount trainer spot beside the square in Zhuque City.

Paying…

500 Gold Coin, obtained pet slot and mount slot…

Class tip: Knight's mount qualification detected, triggering the class mount trial "Lion Knight's Path".

As a knight, how can one be without a mount.

Quest objective: obtain a mount of one's own.

"?"

Su Sheng stared blankly at the quest tip, "That's it? Nothing else?"

Su Sheng had expected to receive a quest to obtain a lion mount.

Lion Knight, Lion Knight, riding a lion is perfectly normal, right?

Turns out that's all, but Su Sheng actually doesn't care much for a lion mount; it's fine not to have one.

Su Sheng prefers a fine outfit and a spirited horse.

The pet and mount slots cost another thousand Gold Coin; Su Sheng's wallet aches a bit.

He opened the guild panel; the guild was empty, only Su Sheng there. Recruiting must be face‑to‑face; later he'll pull Chen Guan and the Assassin Alliance in first, plus Huakai's girl.

Although you need to be level 40 to use the Guild Creation Order in Main City to found a guild, once a guild exists, there is no level restriction to join.

Outside Newbie Village, anyone can join a guild.

The guild interface has a slew of boxes: setting guild announcements, guild warehouse, contribution points.

These look familiar; the Assassin Alliance had also founded a guild before.

Member count, daily quests, monster hunts can all raise the guild's experience.

After meeting the target, collective quests can upgrade the guild; once it reaches Tier 3, it can apply for a stronghold.

During the era of the ten great guilds, their strongholds were almost as large as Main City; each massive stronghold was a golden‑egg‑laying hen.

That's why Su Sheng, even without a corporate backer, dared to found a guild—the third of the top ten guilds, Dawnstar, follows the same model.

Then Su Sheng used Private Chat to ask Huan Jie and Chen Guan to wait for him at the Teleport Array in Wutong Town.

Su Sheng used the Teleport Array and returned to Wutong Town.

"A Sheng."

Lin Huan waved at Su Sheng.

Kong Lang, Chen Guan, that guy also showed up abruptly on one side.

"I'll pull you into the guild first, then you bring everyone else in later."

Su Sheng handed a guild application to the two while saying,

"A Tier‑1 guild can only accept five thousand members."

"That's more than enough for now; the Assassin Alliance only has a little over a thousand members."

"Player Kong Lang joins the guild."

"Player Feihong Meigui joins the guild."

Kong Lang was appointed Deputy President.

Feihong Meigui was appointed Deputy President.

One guild, two Deputy President slots, almost the same authority as the Chairman.

"Huan Jie, later customize some guild rules and regulations for us."

Su Sheng looked at Lin Huan and said,

"Alright." Lin Huan nodded. Though he had never managed a guild, he was still a 985 elite; besides, he'd never eaten pork nor seen a pig run, so a quick look at the forums would do.

"We can toss our previous gear into the guild warehouse and set up contribution exchanges."

Su Sheng continued,

During this period, they've 'cleared' so many Dungeons, plus earlier accumulations.

There is plenty of equipment for all classes, especially Dungeon drops, many purple level‑40 gear.

These items are an undeniable temptation for many players.

Add Su Sheng's Top Rank on the Level Ranking List, and Yanhuang Guild's prestige as the first to establish a guild.

Also… the Assassin Alliance's joining.

"Kong Lang, handle the brothers, start recruiting directly; anyone above level 30, as long as they're not notorious, can be taken in first," Su Sheng turned his head toward Chen Guan.

"Alright."

Chen Guan nodded.

The Assassin Alliance personally steps in to recruit for Yanhuang; just thinking about it is fun.

Other guilds are still 'playing in the mud', while Yanhuang has already started recruiting.

But the big guilds themselves have core groups exceeding five thousand.

Yet Yanhuang can now rush guild levels.

"I'll get busy now, thanks for your effort, but don't let your own levels fall behind too much."

"Zhuque City is huge; as long as we get there first, it's all ours."

Su Sheng grinned.

"Alright!"

Lin Huan and Chen Guan both nodded.

"That's a minor matter; since Yanhuang has already been founded and we have no corporate backer, A Sheng, your Top Rank position is the best advertisement for Yanhuang Guild."

"So, Su Sheng, you're the one under the most pressure; you must guarantee your own advantage," Lin Huan said, looking at Su Sheng.

Yanhuang has already been established, and Lin Huan naturally began to consider things from Yanhuang's perspective.

"I understand," Su Sheng nodded.

The level issue isn't big; Huakai's girls are basically level 38–39.

The Assassin Alliance brothers are a bit behind, missing the Dungeon bonus; their average level is now around 34.

Su Sheng glanced at the Level Ranking List; that Shen Wang guy has already caught up, level 39, likely to be 40 either today or tomorrow.

Probably he's using some experience‑eating method again.

"Then I'll head back first; I just arrived at Zhuque City and have a few tasks."

Su Sheng said goodbye to the two, then turned and returned to Zhuque City via the Teleport Array.

Demon Suppression tasks, profession trial, mount, pet…

Su Sheng also picked up some routine material‑collection quests from various NPCs in Zhuque City.

Anyway, we have to kill monsters, so it's a convenient thing.

So Su Sheng followed the coordinates of the fifth Demon Suppression quest and left the city.

Not long after leaving the city, he saw the first kind of monster.

Wandering Bandit Thief

Level: 40

Attack: 1300

Defense: 1100

HP: 20000

Skills: …

Description: …

The attributes are quite exaggerated.

As expected, after reaching the Main City, the monsters' difficulty also increased geometrically.

Although not all are Demon Suppression objectives, Su Sheng plans to finish two quests here first.

The first is a regular quest from a traveling merchant in Zhuque City; these Wandering Bandit Thieves block the road and rob, so clearing some of them serves as a warning.

Quest target: 100.

The second is a profession quest; anyway, soloing shouldn't be lower than monsters of the same level, and the level‑40 Wandering Bandit Thief fits perfectly.

After getting the hang of it, Su Sheng realized that although the stats of these Wandering Bandit Thieves look exaggerated…

…the overall difficulty is even less than that of low‑rank Demon Soldiers.

They are also level 40.

But thinking about it, the low‑rank Demon Soldiers' numbers aren't much lower than these thieves', and those linked to the Demon Race are always a bit harder.

In no time, both quest targets were completed together.

Profession tip: Profession certification completed.

The profession title Lion Tooth Knight has been promoted to Lion; at this moment you are as strong as a lion.

Profession title increase: Strength +40, Constitution +40, HP +500

Quest tip: …
