1133 Away Game (1/2)

Lu Li couldn't help but take a look at the reporter; it seemed like this person was chasing a major story.

”I believe you may have a misunderstanding. Lu Li only stayed in the guild for a week and he signed a contract as a gold collection member,” Square Root 3 began, then turned his head and asked, ”I've always wondered. Why did you sign such a low contract back then?”

This was the art of speech – staying for one week wasn't enough to explain anything, but the fact that Lu Li had signed such a low contract at some point would've been something worth talking about.

At that moment, many focused their attention towards Lu Li as questions were tossed out one following another. The scene quickly became chaotic.

”Everyone, please be quiet. I can confirm that I've worked as a simple gold collection member before,” Lu Li said as he stood up and gestured for everyone to be quiet. He wasn't the happiest about Square Root 3 dragging him out under the spotlight; he thought he could stay invisible.

Unfortunately, the scene didn't go quiet as he had hoped – it became even worse.

People wanted to hear the origin story of a legend, but no matter how many versions were told in the history of gaming, no one would have been able to beat Lu Li's meteoric rise.

This wasn't an encouragement; this was insane!

Why did someone so legendary start as a gold collection member? Was it just so he could come into contact with Square Root 3?

The gazes made Lu Li and Square Root 3 uneasy; there were many girls into gay love stories lately. Lu Li quickly explained, ”I couldn't afford a helmet back then, so I had to start somewhere, and a gold collection member seemed like a good option. However, my time wasn't as pleasant as I had expected, so we eventually parted ways...”

Couldn't afford a helmet?

Couldn't afford a helmet!

Only a small portion of people knew of Lu Li's background, and none of them were the type to run their mouths. As such, this made a lot of people guess about his background.

Most thought that he had an affluent background, or else, where could he have found the resources to build Ruling Sword? The biggest evidence to support this was the fact that Ruling Sword had turned down many investment offers in the past.

Besides having your own resources, what else could possibly explain this?

Also, if he wasn't wealthy, then how did he attract the attention of Water Fairy? Water Fairy was well-known for her affluence and just the slightest wealth that slipped from her hands would be enough to build a major guild.

”This is part of the original contract. Everyone can take a look,” Square Root 3 said. He was obviously prepared and took out the contract they signed with Star Moon Union in the past. Obviously, they won't show the details, but this was enough to serve as evidence for Lu Li's words.

The questions grew messier and messier, but without a doubt, the focus was on Lu Li's rise.

What else could be more encouraging than this?

After the morning had been sorted, they rested for half a day before they entered the game for the match. The time setting in the game was the opposite to reality; it was morning time.
