Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 39: Zhao Kai’s Decision

Some time had passed by, and with Xu Feng meticulously pretending to contact himself, the new agreement was promptly made.

Gentle Wind would increase the payment by 10,000 dollars and with each increment of 100 players she managed to recruit within 1 week of the achievement obtained, she would pay an additional 1,000 dollars.

In return, Xu Feng would join her guild, Silver Wind temporarily and give her all the credits for the achievement.

Signing the contract on behalf of his ”boss”, Xu Feng chuckled softly. ”My boss told me to relay this: happy cooperation.”

”Happy cooperation to you as well.” Gentle Wind smiled, feeling like a heavy stone had lifted from her body.

The money was no problem to her. In fact, she was relatively surprised that the other party didnʼt care about the achievement and seemed more focused on the money.

There were times she even began to suspect the other party was a poor person, but that thought was quickly submerged.

After all, she canʼt fathom how a poor person could manipulate the market and create such a frenzy right at the early stages of the game. Not to mention, the production of the Fire Resistance Potions was still a mystery.

The Game Forum was practically about to be ripped apart with so many players discussing the origin of such potions.

While the two were discussing in harmony about what they would do in the dungeon, Autumn Breeze began whispering with Steelshot.

”Psst, donʼt you think our guild leader is acting quite weird this time?” Autumn Breeze asked. ”We havenʼt even stepped foot in the dungeon, but the guild leader seemed so confident that we will succeed.”

Steelshot nodded his head in agreement. ”Agreed, so many people such as Herald Fist have failed the Easy Mode difficulty already. But weʼre going to be tackling the Hell Mode difficulty. Iʼm already betting that we will experience the death penalty already.”

”Anyway, that person called himself Lin Feng, so do you have any information regarding him yet?” Autumn Breeze asked, finding the latter to be overly suspicious.

He was merely a Cleric and a level 2 at that, yet he was acting like some big shot. Without even properly introducing himself, he already decided to make the changes in their arrangement.

Just what kind of person does that?

Meanwhile, Steelshot shook his head helplessly as he tried to ask a few of his friends to investigate, only to end up with a ”who” in response.

”Unfortunately, we donʼt have many details regarding him, Autumn Breeze. It seems like he had just recently appeared in Riverwood Town since there are no records of him slaying monsters in the forest either.”

”Tsk, so pretentious!” Autumn Breeze clicked her tongue, clearly disappointed by the result.

”Whatever, if heʼs really just clowning around, Iʼll make sure to give him a taste of my fury. How dare he waste the guild leaderʼs time!” She crackled her fist and sneered evilly.

Although Steelshot didnʼt say anything, his expression was obvious that he would join in with her to make Xu Feng pay the price if he was just showboating.

Time slowly passed by, and Xu Feng officially accepted the guild invitation to join Silver Wind when the rest of Gentle Windʼs members arrived on the scene.

System: You have joined Silver Wind Guild!

ʼDid it really need a system prompt for this?ʼ Maybe it was because it was his first guild, so the system made a prompt, or maybe a part of his memory simply didnʼt wish to remember this.

After all, he was no different than a hunting dog with that notification back then.

”Alright, weʼre ready.” Gentle Windʼs words snapped him out of his daze.

Simply nodding his head in response, Xu Feng allowed Gentle Wind to take the lead. It was discussed the Team Leader position would be him, but that would be showcased in the dungeon.

Currently, on the surface, he would need to act as a mere guild member of hers.

From the perspective of others, Gentle Wind was the commander or leader who would personally lead her guild members to victory, garnering all the fame and reputation whatnot.

This worked heavily in Xu Fengʼs favor anyway since he didnʼt wish to be put in the spotlight— at least not at the moment.

Gentle Windʼs influence was great and her backing seemed sufficient enough to handle the pressure, but the same canʼt be applied to him.

ʼOh Zhao Kai, hopefully, your dumb brain can finally be enlightened and join the game soon. I need some more manpower to continue my mysterious persona play.ʼ Xu Feng prayed silently, hoping he would join soon.

With Zhao Kai on board, there were many things he could delegate to him instead, essentially working him to death.

As Xu Feng was having such malicious thoughts, back in the real world, Zhao Kai, who had left the school competition in a fit of rage suddenly felt a cold shiver.

”What the hell?” Zhao Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling his arms that seemed to have some goosebumps.

”Whoʼs thinking evil of me?” He murmured, finding the sudden chill to be a bit creepy.

Alas, after brooding it over and finding zero clues, he scratched his head and proceeded to touch the virtual helmet that he had recently purchased.

”Itʼs all Fengʼs fault! Had he not ditched the competition completely, I wouldnʼt have been ridiculed and gotten angry. Now I even bought this expensive ass helmet. Ugh, my food money is gone now.” Zhao Kai teared up in pain at the loss of precious money.

If only he hadnʼt been influenced by Xu Feng, then he wouldnʼt have garnered such thoughts and become so impulsive.

Too bad there was no going back since he tried to refund the virtual helmet right away but was told he was only going to receive half the money he used to purchase it.

”Tsk, I play this damn game then. Iʼll beat Feng up in the game since I still havenʼt repaid him for that slap.” Fumed with rage, Zhao Kai swiftly put the virtual helmet on as he began his journey in the Divine World.
