Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Chapter 61 - 58: The Descent of the Purple Forbidden Star?!_2

Wen Nan took a look around, and everywhere he looked, he saw white level 1 to level 4 tags.

It seemed like this was a hall specifically for newbies to rest.

"Bronze?"

"Level 5, that high?"

"Came to the wrong place?"

"Hard to say, could also be a merchant here to speculate and resell."

Wen Nan: ...

Amidst a sea of white, that bronze badge sticking out on top of his head was indeed a bit too conspicuous.

Wen Nan: [9527, how do I remove this level tag?]

9527: [Player level information has been hidden for you.]

Glancing at his now empty headspace, Wen Nan, satisfied, put his hands in his pockets and strode into the hall.

After taking just a couple of steps, a figure followed him from behind, keeping a reasonable distance.

Wen Nan paused and turned to see Yu Shujun looking at him expressionlessly, still wearing that blue-and-white striped school uniform from before.

"You're still here?"

Yu Shujun said coldly, "If you don't want to see me, you can remove the binding sigil, Master."

Wen Nan felt like the other party told a not very funny joke, but he chuckled anyway and continued walking into the hall.

The stalls in the hall resembled exhibition booths, mostly retail stores selling different goods, some offering dining services, and others whose purposes were unclear from the outside.

Overall, these stalls could be divided into two categories—publicly operated shops built into the game and privately owned shops set up by players.

The publicly operated shops looked very understated, all small black block structures with floating signs on the roof bearing the word [Public] in formal script, followed by the types of goods sold, like daily necessities, clothing and bags, tobacco and alcohol, and snacks.

The privately owned shops, however, were built in all sorts of bizarre shapes and sold all kinds of things. Each sign would indicate the guild to which it belonged, with eccentric names like [Wild Zhenzi Re

"Free?!"

"As long as you join our Phoenix Ice Huan guild, the clothes are a gift for new members."

Wen Nan's eyes squinted. Strangely, it reminded him of those missionaries he encountered on the roadside in real life.

"No, thank you."

Wen Nan stood, politely smiling at the clerk, and turned to leave.

The clerk followed him, continuing his pitch, "We are a medium-sized guild with over a hundred members, and you can find a detailed introduction on the system community.

"You must be a new player who's just gone through two map rounds, right? With your experience and level, the six major guilds in the community definitely won't take you. You'd find it hard even to join mega-guilds with tens of thousands of members. Even large guilds with thousands, you might struggle with.

"We are the largest guild available to you at this level. Why face cold rejections from those large or mega-guilds when you can choose us from the start?"

Wen Nan walked more than ten meters before stopping, having been chased by the clerk all the way. Exasperated, he asked, "The six major guilds, which six?"

To ask such a question, one would have to be a newbie right out of the trial area.

This level of newbie probably wasn't even level 2; they wouldn't even qualify to join his guild.

Upon realizing this, the clerk's demeanor suddenly chilled, smiling as he said, "That question is pointless for you. Not to mention the six major guilds only accept players who have cleared advanced maps; besides, this hall is for new players. The six major guilds don't even have branches here, so you wouldn't know where to apply."

Just as he finished speaking, a previously concealed building in the distance unveiled itself, revealing its true appearance—

It was an exquisitely built Chinese teahouse, with a rooftop sign displaying the three characters [Feng Shui Huan].

The clerk was astonished, "One of the six major guilds?! Why would they set up here in such a remote hall?"

Recalling past experiences, the clerk remembered only one situation would compel the six major guilds to set up a temporary branch in a newbie hall—

"Could it be that among this batch of newcomers, there's a once-in-a-million talent?"
