Chapter 562: Lu Zhe Who Wants to Improve

Temporarily ambiguous.

Lin Huan answered with a hint of helplessness.

Not agreeing right away can basically be understood as a refusal.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. Huan Jie, don't worry too much about a Yun Duo Guild; having one more of them isn't much, having one fewer isn't much either," Su Sheng said nonchalantly.

Although Yun Duo is also a new guild in Zhuque Main City, whether it can actually develop remains a question; it's unclear how the guild's Chairman obtained that Alliance Charter, which is why they're a bit ahead.

But compared with Yanhuang, the gap is undoubtedly huge.

One should know that by the Third Rebirth stage, guilds of all sizes will likely spring up in a flood.

When mainstream players reach the Third Rebirth stage, they'll normally deal with those

Moreover, Yun Duo is currently a Tier‑One guild; if they truly have ambition, they probably haven't even filled a roster of five thousand members yet.

Indeed, the Domestic Server has a considerable number of players.

Solo Players make up the vast majority, but player quality varies widely; those with real ambition must be selective in recruiting.

Of course, if it's just for fun and they don't discriminate, they might have already filled their ranks, but such a guild would be essentially half‑useless, merely for entertainment.

But based on Su Sheng's impression of Yun Duo, he believes that since they secured the Alliance Charter and founded a guild so early, they aren't doing it for fun.

Otherwise, she could have simply sold the Alliance Charter back then and made a hefty profit.

In this case, Yun Duo's recruitment would be as meticulous as Yanhuang's.

Thus recruitment would be slow, so even if Yun Duo is brought over, at most it only boosts the appearance; that few people aren't enough to make a splash.

After Yanhuang became a Third‑Tier guild, they still haven't filled twenty thousand slots, which is why Yanhuang's main focus is now on base construction.

"Alright, the problem isn't big; at least Huan Yu has agreed to Helping Fist."

Su Sheng grinned.

"Got it, now lie down," Lin Huan gestured toward the bed.

"Huh?"

Su Sheng was startled.

"What? You've been working hard lately; yesterday you gave me a massage, so today I'll relax you."

Lin Huan said with a bright smile.

…

…

…

About an hour later, Su Sheng left for work with a nostalgic expression.

Huan Jie's soft little hand felt quite pleasant to the touch…

That day, Su Sheng took an early shift and went to the Hidden Dragon Base.

At this point, the Yanhuang Club had also become fairly sizable.

Most core members had already signed agreements with the Yanhuang Guild, so the Yanhuang Club was no longer the empty shell it once was.

Even some brand merchants had started contacting Huan Jie to discuss business.

At least Yanhuang is now a prominent figure in the race for dominance.

The Monster Siege this time serves as a test for Yanhuang; once Yanhuang gets through this crisis, its subsequent growth momentum will be hard to curb.

…

Next, Yanhuang's main task still revolves around the Life Divine Stone.

However, other aspects of the base construction are already about seventy‑percent done, so Su Sheng let Huan Jie try recruiting a few people.

Now Yanhuang, a Third‑Tier guild, has twenty thousand member slots, but only about fourteen thousand are filled.

If they can fill the roster before the Monster Siege, it would be a significant boost.

Nevertheless, Su Sheng still adheres to the principle of quality over quantity, following the normal procedures.

In the blink of an eye, two days later, Yanhuang's town base, except for the final Respawn Plaza, had essentially completed all other construction.

It looks a bit smaller than the original Wutong Town, but it still has the expected town scale; walls about ten meters high are far beyond what a village could have.

Village walls are at most four or five meters tall.

If it reaches the Main City stage, walls could be built up to twenty‑to‑thirty meters high.

Each wall segment has a health of up to ten million!

Normally a town wall wouldn't have such massive health, but don't forget Su Sheng has some special building materials that were directly applied to the walls.

Good steel naturally belongs on the blade!

Then, with the boost from Dwarven craftsmanship, the wall's health topped ten million, bolstering Su Sheng's confidence!

At the same time, only the final Life Divine Stone remains before the base is fully completed; the building material contribution leaderboard is essentially settled, as other areas no longer need materials, and even the stockpile of repair supplies is overflowing.

One must admit that under the incentive of the Grand Prize, Yanhuang's players showed tremendous enthusiasm when gathering building materials,

Want the horse to run but refuse to feed it—there's no logic in that.

Outside, many company bosses complain about unmotivated employees, handing out token rewards, and only ever drawing big pictures—who would be motivated?

But Su Sheng was a bit surprised by the top three winners.

Excluding Su Sheng, who has consistently held first place, the competition's top spot surprisingly went to Lu Zhe!

"Haha, congratulations to our Group Leader Xiao Zhe for clinching first place in this Construction Material Contribution Points Competition!"

Su Sheng posted the announcement in the Guild Channel.

"Congratulations, Group Leader Xiao Zhe!"

"Xiao Zhe, the boss, is awesome!"

None of the Yanhuang Guild members below were dissatisfied; after all, they could see how hard Lu Zhe works.

However, they did not know that the current Zhu Lu and Yanhuang are entirely Lu Zhe's whole world; only a few core senior members and Zheng Dazhuang truly know that Lu Zhe is, in reality, a disabled person.

"Um, Su… *cough* Chairman, may I give up this shop in exchange for you coaching me in game skills for a month!" Lu Zhe said in the Guild Channel.

Silence~

Suddenly dead‑still quiet.

"Ahem, no problem, but the shop remains yours; if you're not good at making profit, the guild can manage it, though we'll charge a management fee of twenty percent of net profit. As for the coaching, that's an extra complimentary bonus!" Su Sheng replied at once; since Lu Zhe wants to improve, Su Sheng could not possibly refuse to teach.

Apart from Huan Jie and Chen Guan, Lu Zhe is also the third person he can trust completely.

"After the monster siege ends, over the next month I will find time each day to coach you, Xiao Zhe." Su Sheng continued his reply.

"Alright, thank you, Chairman."

"This is what you deserve!"

The next second place was a squad leader; he had been a solo player through and through, only barely competent in technique, but his character was acceptable, so after Lin Huan and Chen Guan discussed, he was promoted to squad leader.

As for why they didn't consult Su Sheng… that's because they're a hands‑off manager…

The third place is also a solo group leader, and it turns out to be Jiu Ge!

Thus far the top three have been decided!
