“I have told you long ago to buy me a Grass Mud Horse toy, but humph, you ignored me.”

Little Elf from the Magical Realm did not know what to say to that. The others did not know how to continue on the conversation either. The atmosphere was becoming awkward.

“Oh, so Lil Momo likes Grass Mud... Cough cough, I’ll buy you another next time,” Li Yi tried to mediate but it seemed to have made it more awkward.

“Brother Yi, Grass Mud Horse was a trendy divine beast ten years ago, didn’t you know about this?” Chen Yang whispered from behind.

Li Yi viciously glared at Chen Yang, “Shithead, no wonder you didn’t want it earlier. Of course, I know about divine beasts but how would I recognize such a cute version of it...”

“This is called Alpaca and it’s extremely rare,” Pretty Good Mood walked over and explained to everybody with a smile.

Pretty Good Mood looked pretty much the same as he did in the game. In reality, his occupation was a postman. It really had nothing to do with being a commander.

Regardless, if anyone was in the know, the awkward situation finally dispersed. Little Elf from the Magical Realm clapped her hands as her face was flushed red and invited everyone to enter and sit.

Many guild members still arrived one after another but Little Elf from the Magical Realm had arranged for personnel to welcome them so Li Yi and the rest need not worry.

Thanks to the game’s virtual stimulation, the appearances of the majority of the players were similar to their in-game appearances. Of course, there were those who looked different, such as those players playing the Orc class. Their faces that looked completely savage in-game looked fairly different from reality.

“Brother Tall, I am Sister Qin Shou.”

“Brother Tall, I am Beast Yaya...”

Everyone took turns to introduce themselves. The happiest person was not Li Yi who was surrounded but Chen Yang who was hemmed in by Orc girls.

There were quite a bit of big fat ugly girls who played as an Orc but there were also a few beauties that caused ripples in Chen Yang’s heart. He held their hands without letting go.

“So you’re sister Qin Shou. Oh gosh, I really can’t tell. The impression you left with that wolf head in the game really is too deep.

“You too, you’re dressed like some mafia goon.”

“Haha, really?”

“Yeap.”

...

Century Aristocracy was owned by Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Yang Rong. In order to entertain over three hundred guild friends, the hotel was closed for the day since the reservation was made two days earlier.

Century Aristocracy’s super huge ballroom could fit up to a thousand people. Above their heads hung dazzling chandeliers while beneath their feet, white-jaded flooring. The walls were decorated with famous paintings. It was as though they walked into a foreign palace.

A harmonious melody was playing and guild members were seated rows of twos and threes. Spit flew through the air as they were chatting excitedly about interesting events in the game.

Although they could have the same conversation in the game, it was not as fulfilling as chatting in real life. A lot of them had this sentiment in mind when they joined in this gathering.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm arranged for Li Yi to be seated at the head of the table as she still needed to welcome Platinum Head leader, Lil Man. Her daughter, Lil Momo was seated by Li Yi’s side and was watched over by a maid named Aunty Zhang.

“Uncle, are you friends with my mother? Why hadn’t I seen you before?” Lil Momo widened her eyes as she asked Li Yi.

“We’re friends in a game. Have you played the game before?”

Li Yi’s words caused Lil Momo to pout her lips. She dangled the Grass Mud Horse toy in her hand, “It’s not fun to play games. Momo likes to play with toys.”

“Then I’ll buy you more toys next time,” Li Yi did not have a good grasp of Lil Momo’s hobbies so he just went along with whatever she said.

And it was then when Yan Li entered to touch Momo but Momo dodged his hands.

Lil Momo pointed at Yan Li. “I don’t like you, don’t touch me.”

“This child, cough cough.” Yan Li walked away dejectedly.

Li Yi was gleeful at that sight. He pulled Momo over to ask, “Tell me, why don’t you like him?”

Lil Momo snorted and whispered into Li Yi’s ear, “He’s always sticking to mother, like a fly, buzz buzz buzz... How annoying.”

“Hahaha...” Li Yi was thoroughly amused.

“Oh right, where’s your dad?” Li Yi looked left and right.

Lil Momo’s spirits dimmed. “I hadn’t seen father for a long time now. Mother said that father went to a place really really really far away. He’ll only be back after a long long long time.”

“Erm...” Li Yi was stunned.

“Guild Master, I am One Big Bun, hahaha...” A fella, looking like a bun walked over, introducing himself while grinning.

“Leader, I am... Sometimes It Gets Sad.”

Another pale-faced youngster that resembled a dumpling walked over...

Introduction, and acquaintance, introduction, and acquaintance. There was a continuous stream of people that came cozying up to Li Yi. Li Yi treated them all alike and chatted with them.

“Guild... Guild Master, I-I am...”

A quiet girl in spectacles tugged and pulled her skirt as she walked up to Li Yi shyly. She timidly spoke but could not complete her sentence.

“Ah, Fire Ice, come over here to sit.” Li Yi recognized her with one look.

“Where’s Tall? Did he come?” Fire Ice sat beside Li Yi and glanced around. Her gaze was wandering all over the place. Anyone could tell she was currently on edge.

Li Yi turned and pointed. “Over there talking with some Orc girls. Need me to call him over?”

“N-no need for that, I’m not looking for him, thank you...” Fire Ice lowered her head. Her face blushing red as an apple.

“These fellas, all calling themselves experts but I don’t see them any good when clearing the dungeon,” Pretty Good Mood shook his head and sat opposite Li Yi.

Li Yi chuckled. “It’s common for abilities not to match up with aspirations. Isn’t some commander here the same?”

“Cough cough, I’m the exception,” Pretty Good Mood blushed and took a sip from his glass.

The discussion in the hall got fully heated, with lively conversations going on. They laughed out loud when they got excited whereas when they were debating about their views, their faces flushed red as they raised their voices to get their points across.

Pretty Good Mood sighed, “It’s really not easy to organize such a gathering. Just the attendance list alone took up a few days. It’s more tiring than clearing dungeons.”

“If it weren’t for Little Elf from the Magical Realm, we wouldn’t be able to make this happen,” said Li Yi with a smile.

“Uh huh, that’s true.” Pretty Good Mood nodded. He was struck by a thought but looking at Li Yi, he did not have the balls to bring it up.

Li Yi asked, “What’s up? Speak your mind, there’s nothing to hide between us, right?”

Pretty Good Mood was embarrassed. “It’s this, two guilds are hiring me to aid in running them. I wanna ask your opinion if its a good idea.”

“Go, why not?” Li Yi did not give a second thought.

In the past life, Pretty Good Mood aided others in command before becoming famous. Why would he restrict his development in this life then? Everyone had their reasons for playing games. Pretty Good Mood had his while he had his own as well. For Pretty Good Mood to be honest about his thoughts was good enough.

“Thank you...” Pretty Good Mood felt touched. He still owed Li Yi money...

Li Yi smiled, “No need to be polite. We still have plenty of fighting days ahead of us.”

“Lil Man’s here! Platinum Hand leader Lil Man’s here! Mad Dragon, Infinite Insanity, too! So many famous people!”

It was then when there was a commotion at the door. A few of them were shouting at the top of their lungs.

Li Yi’s attention immediately turned over to them. He stood up and went to the door to welcome them.

Platinum Hand has always been mysterious. Even when both parties once cooperated, they remained a mystery all the same. Its leader, Lil Man was the most cryptic. Rumors varied about her true appearance. Some said she was a beauty while others said she was ugly. There were also those who mentioned she was intersex. This guessing game went on for eight years, yet no one knew the truth.

It would soon be revealed whether or not she was a celebrity.

There was a stir within Li Yi. Although he was no groupie, if Lil Man really was Xu Man, he would be happy. A celebrity was playing the game with him. That fact meant something to him.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm led the members of Platinum Hand organization over. Li Yi took one look and was immediately disappointed.

Leader Lil Man was behind Little Elf from the Magical Realm but what left everyone speechless was that she was wearing a yellow duckbill cap and covered half her face with big sunglasses. Beneath her nose was a white surgical mask. She was dressed in black, camouflaging her body completely. It was hard to tell who she was from her appearance or figure.

This little b*tch really was not letting loose. Li Yi was bummed out by Lil Man.

“Hello, I’m Lil Man.”

As Li Yi’s face was not that different from the game, Lil Man recognized him immediately. She went forward and graciously extended her arm at Li Yi.

“Hello,” Li Yi shook her hand in exchange. He felt even more gloomy as he realized that Lil Man was faking her voice as well.

“Guild Master Dark Wing, a pleasure to meet you. I didn’t think you’re this young. I’m Mad Dragon.” A young man with sideburns and a beard walked up and introduced himself.

“I’m Infinite Insanity.” Infinite Insanity was a bookish clean-looking young man.

“Pleasure to meet you.”

Li Yi stepped forward and exchanged handshakes with them.

“Let’s go in and chat. It’s too hot out here. Lil Man’s outfit will not withstand the sun.”

“Hahaha,” The crowd burst into laughter.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s words drove everyone back into the hall.

It was the afternoon and only a small portion of people had yet to arrive. Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Platinum Hand leader, Lil Man, Infinite Insanity, Mad Dragon and Li Yi sat together, talking excitedly about the interesting events in the game.

The employees of Century Aristocracy did a headcount and reported it to Little Elf from the Magical Realm. Currently, there was a total of 328 attendees, more than what the name list expected.

“The more the merrier. Welcome them as long as they present their identities to prove they’re members of Little Drunk Cat or Platinum Hand.”

“Understood, Director Yang.” The employee in charge of attendance dismissed himself.

Less than five minutes later, the attending employee came running back and reported an unexpected happening to Little Elf from the Magical Realm. “Director Yang, Master Mo, one of the four masters of capital is here, shall I let him through?”

“Master Mo?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm was perplexed.
