While Zhao Kai had made up his mind to join the hyped game, Divine World, Xu Feng, Gentle Wind, and along with the rest of her members arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
Upon their arrival, the nearby players were instantly attracted by them. Some were admiring Gentle Wind's beauty, while some were reporting the situation back to their respective leaders.
"Hey look, isn't that Gentle Wind? Ahh, just look at her beauty. I will die to just stand next to her~"
"Save it ugly bitch. With your looks and mediocre skills, do you think you even have a chance?"
"Fuck, you can't even let me daydream a bit in a game?"
"Yeah, if I let you continue, then I'll be disgusted to even be your friend. Be realistic and accept your single life man. Also, I need to start posting this big news in the forum. I might get many likes and comments this time with Gentle Wind finally joining in on the fun."
"You are not my brother!"
Although most of the players were whispering among themselves, there tended to be a few folks who were beyond shameless and had no intention of whispering.
"You're quite the popular person, Gentle Wind." Xu Feng complimented, praising her ability to attract such attention right from the start without doing much.
"Surely you must be joking, Lin Feng." Gentle Wind chuckled softly. "If I truly had such ability, then why hadn't you been charmed by me already?"
"Haha…" Xu Feng laughed awkwardly at the joke she threw at him.
Naturally, she didn't intend to charm him but was merely talking about how he didn't react like those male players earlier. And probably because of this Gentle Wind actually gave him quite a good amount of respect.
Since he didn't turn lewd or lustful despite seeing her and was able to remain calm and concise with his objective in their interactions, she viewed him in a good light.
Including with his somewhat awkward laughter in response to her teasing, Gentle Wind was more reassured.
She had witnessed too many men attempting to act aloof and cold to catch her attention, but they all failed miserably. With a single glance and her intuition, she could sense these men were all filled with nefarious intent toward her beauty.
"Alright, I won't tease you any further, lest it might raise suspicions." She chuckled softly.
Xu Feng nodded his head but gave some advice as well. "If you're trying to gather attention, I suggest you announce your objective to everyone here. After all, announcing your objective and actually succeeding in it would be more explosive than announcing it later on."
The difference between the two was merely the announcement time, but the effect one would receive was vastly different.
To announce your objective beforehand would cause others to become more frantic once you succeeded because it showcased your guild's ability and manpower are miles ahead of others.
Pondering for a moment and finding him to be correct logically, Gentle Wind couldn't help but change her evaluation of him.
"Are you secretly a guild manager, Lin Feng? You seemed quite adept in these types of situations." She half-jokingly and half-seriously asked, clearly intrigued by his foresight.
"Just some common sense." Xu Feng pointed his finger on his brain, tapping it slightly.
Alas, his actions somewhat infuriated those behind him, having mistaken his words for jabbing them for lacking such common sense.
'Tsk, what a poser!' Autumn Breeze thought to herself. 'Just you wait and see. If you fail and make us lose face, then we'll definitely thrash you to no end.'
While Autumn Breeze was ready to retaliate at any given moment, Gentle Wind took upon Xu Feng's advice as she stepped toward the center.
"Hello, everyone." Gentle Wind waved her hand and flashed a graceful smile, causing the nearby players to nearly faint.
Her actions were equivalent to a famous celebrity who suddenly greeted her beloved fans with a warm and graceful smile.
One could just imagine how explosive the reaction would be in such a scene.
"I'm sure some of you are just here for fun, while some of you are anchoring for your respective guilds or teams. But I'm here to make an announcement first. My guild, Silver Wind, will achieve the first clear achievement." She announced, exuding an air of confidence.
"As expected, Gentle Wind is going to attempt the Scorched Caverns as well for the achievement!"
"Hmm, Herald Fist had already failed miserably and he's still going to make another attempt once he finishes his preparation. Is this going to turn into a guild competition soon? Tyrant Fist versus Silver Wind: the rush for the first clear achievement!"
Seeing the players' reaction and how they believed she was competing against Herald Fist, Gentle Wind was once again dumbfounded by Xu Feng's foresight.
He had already predicted some would make a connection between the two and even instructed her how to respond to it. 'Could it be he's from the future? Just how can he predict so much?'
"The player who mentioned the competition. What's your username?" Gentle Wind kept her calm and asked.
The player who made the comment fixed his posture and nodded his head.
"Nice to meet you, Guild Leader Gentle Wind! I'm OneManMedia, a Swordsman class, and I wish to ask if you are trying to increase your guild's reputation by competing against Herald Fist through this dungeon clearing?" OneManMedia questioned professionally, seemingly turning into a media reporter.
'OneManMedia… wasn't this the person who posted in the forum regarding the mysterious player ascending the 2nd floor in the Town Hall?' Gentle Wind was astonished to meet with this player here.
After all, if it weren't for his forum post, she wouldn't have made it here and become acquainted with Lin Feng as well as his Boss.
Nevertheless, Gentle Wind composed herself rather quickly and smiled brightly.
"You've asked quite a good question, OneManMedia. However, I must correct one thing. I'm not competing against Herald Fist, given that we're not even in the same stage. I'm going to be clearing the Hell Mode difficulty."
