Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Win Over
This was a clear rejection, something which Li Yao had discerned readily, but he wasn’t ready to give up too quickly.
After all, this was a genuine legend, who also led a guild, specifically a guild of ladies.
Creating something out of nothing, step by step, transforming a small guild into a super guild. Despite eventually disbanding, and despite the fact that she was super-rich, no one questioned her ability.
There were a lot of wealthy people and countless others who invested in esports, but very few truly succeeded. Letting such a deity slip away felt like missing out on billions, quite simply.
Li Yao took a deep breath, and said, “Feng Yi recommended you to me, so I’ve heard the two of you are pretty tight. Feng Yi wouldn’t deceive me, and definitely wouldn’t deceive you either. I hope you’ll seriously consider my offer.”
“So, it’s that little hussy who sold me out, then you must be her little boyfriend. Her taste… tsk tsk…” Wind Flower Snow Moon
Li Yao, with a frustrated expression, said, “Can we get to the point?”
“Ok, since darling Feng Yi introduced it, I ought to give it some thought.” Wind Flower Snow Moon gestured for Li Yao to take a seat, saying: “Go on, tell me about your club’s current situation. Surely you have a manager?”
Li Yao cleared his throat, saying: “Well, our guild was recently established, and we’ve yet to assemble our club.”
“Pfft…” Wind Flower Snow Moon immediately spat out her drink. Shocked, she asked, “Are you kidding?”
She almost stormed out, it was simply the biggest joke she’d ever heard. Just newly created a guild and wants to form a club immediately? As if professional players are dispensable.
Was an esports career something anyone could choose? If it wasn’t for Feng Yi’s introduction, she would’ve declined and rented out her venue to someone else. After all, it was such a good location, and she didn’t lack money.
Li Yao also felt awkward, and said: “I am serious, isn’t that why I rented out your place? We will soon be able to assemble a team.”
“Alright then.” Wind Flower Snow Moon reluctantly said: “So can you tell me what your guild is called? What level are you in the game, what’s the scale, do you plan on forming a club, and do you have any suitable professional players?”
“Let me ask you something first, Huang. Are you currently playing Ancient God?” Li Yao asked.
“Yes, although I’m no longer participating in the professional scene. I’ve left the esports circle and I don’t want to take part in the games, I wish to remain a solo player.” Wind Flower Snow Moon said.
“Well, you should be aware of the forum’s state, our guild is at the center of the storm.” Li Yao said.
Wind Flower Snow Moon, who was somewhat disinterested and had intended to casually entertain Li Yao to save Feng Yi’s face, immediately stiffened, scrutinised Li Yao, and said, “Are you saying your guild is Starfire?”
“Yes.” Li Yao nodded.
“So that means you are Prairie Fire, who’s currently in the limelight?” Wind Flower Snow Moon looked at Li Yao with an even more peculiar expression.
“Correct, Prairie Fire, that’s my game ID.” Li Yao nodded, and tapped on his communicator to bring up some details.
“Indeed, where does life not meet. What a coincidence.” Wind Flower Snow Moon chuckled lightly.
“Have we met in the game?” Li Yao looked startled. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed in shock, “You’re that Leafe Thief, Unparalleled Seduction?”
“Right, or did you think there’s a second woman in the world who possesses my charm.” Wind Flower Snow Moon said with a smirk, “Surely looks can be deceiving huh, I’ve been running circles around you all day. I’ve completely lost face.”
Li Yao jumped up and said, “So, Huang, you’ve already joined Prosperous Era. Then today’s conversation is moot.”
Li Yao instantly felt the heaviness in his heart. The Prosperous Era was already challenging to deal with; if this person joined them, it would become even trickier to handle.
“Don’t be so hasty, kiddo. I’m not one of the Prosperous Era.” Wind Flower Snow Moon laughed, “I just owed Night Curtain a favor recently, thanks to you, I have repaid him. Otherwise, owing that tricky man a favor would certainly cause me to lose sleep.”
Li Yao understood, and said, “What do you intend to do, Huang?”
“Let’s see, you have indeed done me a favor. So, I’ll join your guild first in the game. I need to take a look before I give you an answer. I’m not getting any younger and have no time to waste.” Wind Flower Snow Moon said.
“This works, since organizing the club won’t be a breeze anyway. Starfire was created to win the World Championship, so you won’t be disappointed.” Li Yao stood up and said.
“Hmm, your eyes tell me that you’re not lying, and truly you are indeed very strong, you have the prowess to be so arrogant. But understand this, that you can’t conquer the World Cup alone, so I need to see Starfire Guild and its members for myself.” Wind Flower Snow Moon stood up as well.
“Alright, I believe you won’t be disappointed.” Li Yao had confidence as he believed many people in Starfire had potential, and were currently full of vitality.
“Then I’ll keep my eyes peeled.”
“Sure, let’s leave it at that, see you in the game.” Li Yao said, and walked out.
“Prairie Fire huh, never thought we’d meet so soon. Interesting guy, even got my blood burning. Can you really take your colleagues to the world stage? Did I make the right choice with Starfire?”
Wind Flower Snow Moon was also in a dilemma.
Honestly speaking, she had conceded to Li Yao and accepted her defeat.
After logging off, she found her videos with Li Yao, the more she watched, the more startled she grew. If she hadn’t witnessed his actions firsthand, she would’ve thought the videos were faked.
Adding to the tidbits from Prosperous Era, she gained some insight into Prairie Fire and Starfire Guild, something she never expected was the fact that Starfire was knocking at her door today.
“Is this the arrangement of fate or just a coincidence.” Wind Flower Snow Moon thought, going upstairs barefoot.
Li Yao didn’t dwell on it too much, convincing Wind Flower Snow Moon wouldn’t be easy as she was well off. All he had was Starfire to impress her.
Li Yao logged into the game and updated the status in the founder’s channel so everyone remains alert. After that, he was utterly bored.
Other members were handling various issues and the game was in the evening, which made Li Yao unsure of what to do.
Li Yao suddenly remembered that the Queen had told him to find her when he was at level 15, so he immediately headed towards the Royal District. Having experienced so much, he realized that the Queen’s items were definitely good.
He had to complete her tasks as soon as possible. If Li Yao guessed right, this time it should be the skill task for the Dark Ranger.
“The Queen really values you. She was supposed to be resting, but when she heard you’re here, she agreed to see you right away. Follow me.” The maid smiled and led Li Yao through a side door.
“Where are we going?” Li Yao asked in confusion, finding all the scenery around him strange.
“You’ll know once you get in.” The Queen’s voice came out…
