Chapter 467: Chapter 346: The Newly Formed Team, Half of It Poached!
Li Zheng finally managed to appease the players in channel 879, assuring them that once the legion reaches level two, he will immediately take them in.
Although a small number of players were not very happy, with Li Zheng saying so, what else could they do?
They could only forgive him like forgiving a bad boyfriend.
"I miscalculated, didn’t expect them to react so strongly." Li Zheng wiped his sweat, closed the chat panel, and looked at the faces watching the show with interest, grumpily saying, "Go away, what’s so funny?"
"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter. It’s rare for Li Zheng to screw up in front of them, how could it not be funny?
Li Zheng was initially frustrated, but soon that frustration vanished, and he laughed along with them.
This feeling of people scrambling to follow him was actually quite pleasant.
It’s just that these little brothers are a bit too fanatical, and he needs to quickly establish the legion, upgrade it to level two as soon as possible, and then recruit all the players from channel 879.
After some laughter and jokes, Li Zheng seriously said, "Alright, now for the serious business... What should we name this legion?"
He had just tried it, wanting to establish a legion, and after submitting ten Diamond Level Power Cores, he needed to determine the name immediately.
Once determined, the legion’s name would always be the same and could not be changed.
However, it can be transferred to someone else. If you think another legion’s name sounds better, you can buy it and then trade it.
"Na... Name?!" Ye Kai was stunned, "You haven’t even established the legion, and you’re already recruiting on the world channel?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Li Zheng asked matter-of-factly. Isn’t his reputation worth them waiting a little?
After all, a catchy and pleasant name is something that will accompany them for a long time.
Possibly for a lifetime, just this one.
"So you mean you want us to brainstorm a catchy legion name?" Ye Yuan realized, her expression turning a bit unnatural.
Not just her, even Ye Kai and Chu Xiao, or even Liu Jiale, all looked a bit unnatural.
Li Zheng asked, "You all... collectively constipated? Why do you look so grim?"
The few remained silent, and Zhan Zhouzhou and the others also thought of something and fell silent.
Chu Xiao looked at everyone, then stepped forward and said, "Sorry, Old Li, we... we thought you had no intention of forming a legion, so we joined Nine Heavens a long time ago..."
Liu Jiale hesitated and spoke up as well, "I also promised Xu Ying to form a legion with her, so I can’t be with you all."
"I know about you joining Nine Heavens, Chu Xiao mentioned it to me a while back." Li Zheng looked at Liu Jiale, "A Le, what’s your situation?"
"I..." Liu Jiale uncharacteristically blushed, scratched his head, and said, "I opened a livestream before, and someone named Xu Ying often sent me gifts. We got familiar after a while..."
"To put it simply, this guy has a crush on a girl and wants to elope," Yan Guang bluntly exposed Liu Jiale’s thoughts, making the burly man blush deeply.
"No, no... it’s not like that, Xu Ying and I are just friends."
He and Xu Ying hadn’t reached that stage yet, but they were close, just a thin veil to break, after which things would be settled.
"Heh..." Yan Guang sneered, "Until yesterday, I was just friends with Phoenix Mountain."
This time, Phoenix Mountain also blushed deeply. This woman, why does she have to blurt out everything?
"I... sigh... Old Li, consider me Liu Jiale as the one at fault first. Mainly because Xu Ying lacked a top player on her side, so..."
"So you abandoned loyalty for love?" Yan Guang rolled her eyes. She always thought their group would stick together, but when the legion system finally opened, she found that half of the team had been poached by others.
At this time, Phoenix Mountain was actually calmer than her, pulling on Yan Guang’s clothes, dragging her behind him to prevent more unpleasantness with Liu Jiale.
"I have an idea, why not you, Old Liu, talk to Xu Ying and join Li Zheng’s legion together? You know his strength, the leaderboard refreshes daily, and the legion’s first-place Buff rewards would definitely belong to us."
Phoenix Mountain felt that his suggestion was already the best solution, as Xu Ying wasn’t like Nine Heavens, which secretly formed a large organization from the start with various rules and constraints.
However, Liu Jiale was silent for a long time, and finally, with deep regret, said, "I’m sorry..."
"You!" Yan Guang glared, about to explode.
"Alright, everyone has their own ambitions. If A Le wants to be a couple with Xu Ying, that’s their freedom too." Li Zheng intervened, "Just like when you initially clung to Phoenix Mountain, we quietly supported you without interfering, right? Let him go."
"But A Le, although you’re joining Xu Ying’s side and parting ways with us, remember, we will always be friends. If you ever run into trouble, don’t hesitate to speak out, got it?"
Liu Jiale’s current strength is quite good, having two Diamond Level Genetic Abilities, one already at Full Level, and another nearing it.
With his joining on Xu Ying’s side, even if they can’t obtain the legion’s top ten Buff rewards in the short term, they might encounter it someday in the future.
"Okay." Liu Jiale saw that Li Zheng understood him, moved, and said, "Thanks, Old Li."
He turned to look at Yan Guang, wanting to say something.
But seeing Yan Guang’s obviously still angry expression, he knew that whatever he said wouldn’t help, so he kept silent.
Actually, he very much understood Yan Guang’s feelings, probably something like, even though we are all friends, you secretly pledge loyalty to someone else.
It carries a kind of "betrayal" emotion.
In such a situation, sometimes it’s best not to see each other.
Liu Jiale clasped his hands and said, "I have other matters to attend to, I’ll leave now, you all continue chatting."
After speaking, regardless of the others’ reactions, he took out a teleportation item and left.
Once he left, Chu Xiao and the others looked at each other and felt a bit awkward.
"Old Li, if there’s nothing else later, we’ll get going too." Ye Kai walked up to Li Zheng and whispered, "Change the terms of the earlier deal, you give me fifty coils, and I can guide you through five modifications via video stream!"
"Five times?" Li Zheng squinted, and when it came to discussing business, he was alert, "Any time limit?"
"No..." Ye Kai was just about to say there was no time limit, but upon thinking, if he dared to say that, Li Zheng, with his nature, would probably start a video call and never hang up for life.
"Each session has a one-hour time limit, during which I will guide you in modifying any modifiable item, no limit on times per session!"
"Hmm..." Li Zheng contemplated for five seconds, then nodded strongly, "Deal!"
Exchanging fifty coils for guidance from a master player in mechanics five times was definitely worth it.
Because he saw in the world channel today that there were legion leaders recruiting, also offering Electromagnetic Coils.
This indicated that the Electromagnetic Coils he held were no longer monopolized and would soon spread in the Matrix.
"Deal!"
With the transaction complete, Ye Kai left with a satisfied smile, along with Chu Xiao and his sister.
Once they left, the previously lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
