Chapter 250 – Return of Aqua Smoke Stub
Even after they were gone, Nie Yan and Tang Yao were the subjects of fervent discussion for Zhai Hao, Li Rui, and the rest of their group. Those two truly played the game at the highest level!
“Xia Ling, do you think Nie Yan is really going after Xie Yao?” Zhai Hao questioned thoughtfully.
“Could that be fake? They even know each other from outside of school!” As Xie Yao’s best friend, Xia Ling naturally had to insist on her preferred outcome.
“Looks like everyone else is out of luck!” Zhai Hao laughed. None of their classmates could even compare with Nie Yan in terms of qualifications.
“Nie Yan’s so awesome! He can casually give out 500 merit points to all of us. That’s enough to obtain several pieces of good equipment!” Li Rui exclaimed. The best equipment they owned was only worth around 200 merit points at most.
But the gear was secondary. The fact that they got to meet two legendary figures, their idols, was the best thing to come out of this get together. If not for Nie Yan swearing them to secrecy, they would’ve definitely blabbed about today’s events to all their friends.
“That bastard Liu Rui is only Level 28, and he thinks he’s such hot shit. Now that I’m Level 30, I think it’s a good time to step on his ego. There’s always a sky above the sky! If we compare him to Nie Yan, he won’t even amount to dregs!” Zhai Hao said, as he recalled how he lost miserably to Liu Rui in their previous duel. He definitely wanted a rematch, so he could get back some face!
Zhai Hao recalled the scene of Nie Yan sending Liu Rui flying with a kick. It was simply amazing! No wonder he was so good at the game. On top of this, his personality made people very convinced. Even though he was in such a high position, he didn’t behave ostentatiously in the slightest. He was actually quite modest, low-key, and easy-going, albeit a bit devious at times.
The group continued to chat in high spirits.
At this moment, Nie Yan and Tang Yao rushed back to the guild headquarters. A large crowd had assembled around the plaza in front of the Asskickers United guild headquarters. These players were all the elites of the guild, and they all wore equipment of at least Gold-grade, with practically nobody sporting around Silver-grade equipment any more. They discussed fervently.
“Say, what do you think the boss gathered all of us here for?”
“No one knows yet. Let’s just wait for him to arrive.”
The best players of the guild were all gathered in one place. This kind of manpower could accomplish almost anything!
“The guild leader is here!”
The crowd grew excited, as they parted to two sides, opening up a path in the middle.
“Greetings to the guild leader!”
“Welcome back, boss!”
Everyone greeted in unison. Any bystander would be able to tell the sincere respect they held for Nie Yan.
The name Nirvana Flame carried the glory of Asskickers United, a moral pillar responsible for creating the legend of the guild and guiding them to a momentous rise. From having nothing to owning everything. From being small and fragile to becoming the most powerful behemoth. From less than 500 members to over 50,000. From being viewed as an ant in the eyes of the player base to being the hot topic through all corners of the game. He swept through all obstacles to make them the strongest guild in Calore! In return, they were filled with devotion and reverence toward their guild leader.
Nie Yan acknowledged the greetings of the guild members.
Nie Yan spotted Yao Yao, Moon Child, Yu Lan, Plain Boiled Water, and the rest. He walked up to greet them.
“Good to see you guys again.”
“Hello, guild leader!” Plain Boiled Water and the rest hurriedly responded.
Yao Yao appeared to be a bit off as she met eyes with Nie Yan. Her heart raced as the two figures in her mind merged together.
Nie Yan smiled at Yao Yao.
It was worth noting that Yao Yao, who was dressed in pure-white robes, put in a considerate amount of effort into her appearance—her long hair tied in a ponytail behind her back, her pure and innocent expression which evoked urges in the hearts of all men, and a pair of limpid eyes that sparkled with intelligence. She pursed her lips into a smile, shallow dimples exposed on on her fair cheeks. Her beauty was simply too dazzling.
Moon Child and Yu Lan stood off to the side and quietly gossipped about how Yao Yao was different from her usual self today.
Nie Yan quickly averted his gaze, afraid that he would be ensnared if he looked directly into her eyes any longer
Nie Yan turned to Moon Child and Yu Lan with a smile before moving on.
