Chapter 159: Demolition Squad
After returning to the city, Xiao Feng checked the time; the war city's full opening was still about 1 hour away.
"Old Zhang, Old Li, Miss Miao, Dun Dun, Blind Sis, where are you?"
After returning home, he immediately shouted in the small group chat of the fixed team.
"Running a mission, what's up, Old Xiao?"
"Any good news?"
"Just out shopping, what's wrong?"
Everyone responded in turn.
Xiao Feng said, "I want to create a guild; those of you who are free right now, come to the War Hall—at least five people are needed for the preliminary review."
Regarding the process of establishing a guild, he had already asked the three presidents clearly, missing no detail.
Hearing his words, the teammates were all surprised, "What's the situation? Old Xiao, are you planning to raise your own forces?"
"Building a guild yourself is exhausting; upgrading a guild requires nonstop quests, so it's better to join another guild and enjoy the privileges..."
"Emmm... could it be because you got a stronghold token in the underground palace dungeon and want to go big?"
Everyone wondered.
Xiao Feng explained, "Pretty much; mainly it's for the stronghold defense battle. If you're free, come quickly while there are few people. Otherwise, later players will flood in, the War Hall will be packed, and you won't be able to squeeze in."
The War Hall is a comprehensive building that serves both war gameplay and guild gameplay.
Once the battlefield opens, it will definitely be extremely busy there, and the number of visitors will reach an astonishing level.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately responded to the call and used keys to teleport home.
Li Li excitedly said, "This means we'll be able to fight the stronghold defense battle again soon!"
Those who have enjoyed it three times find it hard to refuse such a good thing.
Zhang Fan also thought of something and wondered, "Old Xiao, with just us few people, we probably aren't qualified to apply for a stronghold; even if we applied, we couldn't defend it..."
No matter how strong Xiao Feng is, he's still just one person; when monsters come from all directions, he cannot possibly resist them.
Xing Yun Miao also returned to Xiao Zhai, her bright eyes rolling as she asked in disbelief, "You wouldn't... be thinking of hiring outside help to guard the stronghold, then having us six split all the welfare experience, would you?"
"Uh... holy shit?"
"Damn! Is that even possible???"
Upon hearing her words, Li Li instantly blew up, and Zhang Fan was dumbfounded.
Dun Dun and Mang Mei had never fought in a stronghold defense battle and didn't know what the welfare boss was; the former asked, bewildered, "What's wrong with you? Did Senior Xiao Feng do something bad?"
Mang Mei was usually quiet, but her eyes were also looking this way.
Xiao Feng shrugged, "If possible, I'd naturally want us six to split it. However, the system requires at least 100 people to establish a stronghold, so we still need to find people to share the burden."
"That's also pretty outrageous!"
Li Li shouted wildly, counting on his fingers, "Last time you dealt 189 billion damage, which converts to 1.89 trillion experience. Now your level is up and your gear keeps getting better, so you'll definitely hit 200 billion. 2 trillion experience split among 100 people—that's... 200 billion each! Miss Miao, you're the one who does the calculations—quick, figure out how many levels 200 billion experience would raise!"
"Uh, this..."
Xing Yun Miao couldn't compute that number right away, but just seeing Li Li's simple estimate already told her how staggering the reward was.
"Damn! Why are you just standing there? Hurry to the War Hall!"
Zhang Fan couldn't contain his excitement, grabbed Xiao Feng, and ran toward the door.
After understanding the essence of the matter, the teammates went crazy.
The group walked onto the street and rushed toward the War Hall.
Before long, they arrived.
The person in charge of the War Hall is a level 180 mythic leader, belonging to the main city's army organization, a "Governor-General".
Knowing that Xiao Feng had unlocked the city's merit, he personally received Xiao Feng, charged no fee, and helped register the guild.
"Xiao Feng Warrior, what would you like your guild to be called?" the War Governor-General asked.
Xiao Feng's mind went blank, "Uh, I haven't decided yet..."
Everyone:...
They were busy calculating experience and headcount, thus forgetting this most basic thing.
He turned his pleading gaze toward his teammates.
Li Li said, "The guild name definitely needs to be arrogant; all those gods, dragons, and souls are just little brothers—how about we call ourselves 'Everyone Here Is Trash'?"
"Guild names cannot exceed five characters." the War Governor-General kindly reminded.
Li Li abbreviated that phrase, saying, "Then let's call it 'Everyone Is Trash'!"
"Pfft~ If others call us that, wouldn't they have to abbreviate us as 'Trash Guild'?" Dun Dun laughed through tears.
"Eh, seems so; why don't you, Dun Dun junior, think of one?" Li Li scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Don't look at me; I can't even pick a good name for myself!" Dun Dun shook her head like a rattle drum.
Zhang Fan suggested, "Old Xiao's profession is a weather mage; otherwise, how about... the National Weather Bureau?"
"Weather Bureau guild? That also doesn't sound great..."
Everyone slightly shook their heads.
Xiao Feng thought, "Let's call it the Demolition Squad; my destructive power keeps growing, and later I can directly demolish the main city—this name fits well."
"Demolition Guild... huh, it has a bit of a nouveau riche feel, but it's okay." Everyone had no objections.
So Xiao Feng entered that name.
The War Governor-General said, "Confirm using 'Demolition Squad' as the guild name? Once confirmed, it cannot be changed."
"Confirmed."
Xiao Feng nodded.
The War Governor-General made a few quick operations, and soon Xiao Feng received the notification.
You have established the guild 'Demolition Squad'; please increase the member count to over 20 within 24 hours, otherwise it will be forcibly disbanded.
Originally, establishing a guild required a fee of 30,000 gold coins, but because he is a hero, it was waived directly.
Xiao Feng invited a few teammates in, and then left the war hall.
He opened the friend channel and said in the small group to Shen Di and others: 'I have already established the guild, named Demolition Squad; once your cooldown is over, you can apply yourselves, and when we reach 100 members I will go find the city lord to apply for a garrison.'
Now War City doesn't even have a city lord; it is being acted upon by Isben and Garil.
These two are quite familiar with him, so when applying for a garrison they can still pick a better spot.
'Fine, we have less than three hours left to apply,' Shen Di and the other two replied.
'Okay, I'll go offline to rest for a bit; later I'll come online to beat Sword Slay Firmament, and then I can apply for the garrison,' Xiao Feng said.
Then he went offline right there.
After being online continuously for two days, over four hours have passed in the real world as well; it's time to go offline, take a piss, and relax.
Zhang Fan and Li Li saw him go offline, and they also logged out of the game together.
The three opened their eyes on the bed and slowly sat up.
'Tsk tsk, in the game it's been that long, but in reality it's less than a day. This game is truly amazing...'
Zhang Fan sighed.
Xiao Feng jumped straight out of bed, rushed into the bathroom, and a spray of water gushed out.
After a while, he replied contentedly: 'Who says it isn't? This game's tech level is off the charts; good thing it's made by aliens, otherwise our Blue Star would be in turmoil.'
He opened his phone and saw that in the past few hours he had received several transfer notifications (Xiao Feng had the Treasure Merchant Association pay the proceeds from consigned items via Xian Xia transfer), and now the balance in his card is almost 300 million.
'Old Xiao, you've struck it rich this time.' Seeing him holding his phone, Li Li said enviously.
At the same time, he also took out his phone to check message alerts.
Although he and Zhang Fan aren't doing as well as Xiao Feng, they also got a share, earning quite a few gold coins. Earlier they had consigned a portion for sale, and now the same amount of several million has been credited.
Just as they were talking, a noisy clamor suddenly came from the next-door dorm, instruments blaring, startling the three.
'Damn, that brat next door is causing trouble again in the middle of the night!' Zhang Fan slapped the table and stood up, heading toward the door to go teach the people in the next-door dorm a lesson.
'Forget it.' Xiao Feng called out to him, shaking his head: 'They have connections within the school; complaining so many times has been useless, and going there would just be wasting breath.'
'But we can't indulge this bunch of brats!' Zhang Fan couldn't hold back his anger.
The next-door dorm studies music, and they irregularly bang drums, pluck violins, blow horns, etc., 24 hours a day, each time exhausting people's nerves.
But one of them is a relative of a school administrator, protected by connections, so reporting is also useless.
Xiao Feng, the other two, and several other dorm residents have been worried about this for over a year, yet there's nothing they can do.
But now they don't have to worry about it.
Xiao Feng said: 'Tomorrow daytime, let's find some time to go outside and buy a villa to move into.'
'Huh! Looks possible!' Zhang Fan and Li Li exclaimed happily upon hearing.
They are no longer the ordinary students they once were; Xiao Feng earned 300 million in half a day, and they each made several million, so renting or buying a place is more than enough!
Getting a large villa with no neighbors poses no problem at all!
'However, if we move out, it seems we need to consult our parents, sign a consent form, and take responsibility for our own safety. That means you'd have to come clean to your mom and dad,' Zhang Fan said.
Xiao Feng smiled and said: 'Just say it; it's not a bad thing. If they knew I made money, they'd surely be happy, and might even join us in playing.'
'That's true too. But we should still try to keep it quiet; the game's hype is too strong, and if it gets out, someone jealous might come cause trouble, which would be a headache.'
'Mm, besides the closest people, we won't tell anyone. Even if we do, we'll downplay the amount of money,' Xiao Feng nodded.
