The train sped away like a bullet. Inside the VIP section, there were no passengers other than two men sitting in the end of the row seats. The two of them were Isaac and Guo Chen.
"How many hours do you think we'll arrive?" Isaac asked.
Guo Chen looked at the clock on his smartphone. "Based on the schedule, we'll be there in thirty minutes."
They were on their way to Beijing.
Isaac went to the human world with one goal; created human warriors. He wanted to take advantage of the human potential to win this game.
So, to fulfil this goal, Isaac wanted to create a guild!
However, the plan did not go smoothly. There were two things that caused it.
First, because the rules for setting up a guild were very strict. To establish a guild, they had to meet several special requirements; such as being registered in the Hunter Association, having a Hunter Rank A certificate, having over 100 prospective members, and finally having over 100 hours of experience fighting in the Dungeon.
Issac could fulfil all of those requirements slowly. However, there was one important reason that caused it to fail. The guild founder must be a native citizen.
Thus, Isaac chose the latter option. That was to join a guild and then take over it.
Because the guilds were based in the metropolis, he had to leave Hunchun. And Beijing became his choice.
Of course, before going to Beijing, he had learned a lot of things. Culture, customs, communication ethics, clothing, and even today's technology; Isaac had mastered everything.
In a way, Isaac had prepared everything. Including the problem of money.
As a Dungeon Master, finances were not an important matter. He simply took a handful of Power Crystals and sold them to collectors. From selling one kilogram of that purple, sparkling stone, he earned around 1 million RMB.
Isaac could not accept large amounts of money in cash. He used Guo Chen's account to hold all the money. Besides coming as a navigator, Guo Chen was his living wallet.
He didn't have to worry if Guo Chen took the money away. After all, with the 'Seed of Mind', he could kill that man whenever he wanted.
After earning the money, the first thing he bought was a suitcase of clothes. Even though in the demon world the clothes of royalty were luxurious and elegant, in the eyes of humans, it looked weird.
Lastly, so that he could take advantage of all the facilities without worrying about anything, he prepared fake documents such as visa and passport. And it turned out, Guo Chen had acquaintances who worked in that business.
"We are finally here," Isaac muttered.
The train stops at the platform. After traveling for 6 hours, they finally arrived at Beijing Railway Station. As far as the eye could reach, only a sea of people could be seen. What a congested, hectic and busy atmosphere.
Then, they quickly took a taxi and stopped at a hotel that was five kilometres from the location.
When they arrived at the Hotel, Guo Chen looked flabbergasted. The floor was made of marbles and dozens of crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. This was his first experience setting foot in a hotel, and so was Isaac.
After ordering a room, the two of them quickly went to their rooms.
The Hotel rooms were like private rooms. The walls of the room were white, and the floor was covered with brown carpets with a unique motif. Next to where Isaac stood, there was a large mattress the size of a double bed. Plus a 24 inch TV attached to the wall as a complement.
A room suitable for resting after a long journey. However, Isaac didn't have much time to enjoy all of those.
"Let's see which guild is lucky."
Isaac got the information from Guo Chen that the Hunters had their own forum or social media.
He then swiped his cell phone screen and opened a website called the Hunter Society. A forum used by Hunters across China to exchange information about the Dungeons and find partners for Raids. He planned to use this site to search for a guild.
Isaac logged in using Guo Chen's account. After that he changed the Jilin region to Beijing.
On the first page was a row of random threads. When one 'category' was clicked, various rows of threads with one category would appear. Isaac tried clicking the [Dungeon] category.
[How to deal with the poison of the Red Viper.]
[The appearance of a mysterious Hunter, Gunslayer!]
[The location of the newest Power Crystal, updated on January 5, 2024.]
[Some spots that beginners must avoid. ]
Isaac only took a glance, and he immediately changed the category. As a Dungeon Master, all this information was useless. Then, Isaac pressed the [Recruitment] category.
"Here it is."
Then, his finger started swiping across the screen, and the page scrolled. His eyes continued to stare at the glowing of his smartphone screen.
[Black Lotus Guild Recruitment - Minimum Rank C]
[Red Crimson Guild Recruitment - Minimum Rank C]
[Soaring Dragon Guild Recruitment - Minimum Rank C]
The rank requirements made Isaac frown. Isaac planned to apply using Guo Chen's ID, because his current rank was still E.
Isaac skimmed the next page one by one. However, after opening more than 50 pages, none of the guilds set a minimum requirement of E.
"If you make the requirements low, one of your guilds will become a big one in the blink of an eye," Isaac sighed.
Actually, Isaac also understood the reason. It was impossible for them to provide requirements with such a low standard. A war commander would always look for strong soldiers. In fact, it would be suspicious if they allowed anyone with low rank to enter the guild.
In the end, Isaac found none. He pondered for a moment.
"Looks like I'll have to change my plans."
Isaac closed the [Recruitment] page, then he chose the topic of discussion [Raid]. After that, various threads filled the screen of his cellphone.
[Requires one Hunter, tanker type - Minimum rank C]
[Party of 5 people, less than 1 archer - Minimum rank D]
[Requires real support, not cowards hiding in the back line - Rank minimum C]
Isaac let out a sigh through the gaps in his teeth while reading the requirements one by one. He kept scrolling the screen and changing pages. However, he still couldn't find Rank E recruitment, let alone Rank F.
"Is Rank E so bad that no one wants to invite them to have Raid?"
Isaac realized his words sounded stupid. He was just annoyed that his plans weren't going well.
However, he hadn't given up yet.
After scrolling through the smartphone screen for a while, he saw a thread that just appeared.
[Nine Sky requires 2 Hunters as porters. Wage 3500 RMB - Free rank]
Isaac's eyes squinted into mere slits when he saw 'Nine Sky'. This name sounded familiar. Isaac closed his eyes while muttering 'Nine Sky' over and over, trying to remember it.
"AH—! Nine Sky! The guild I once destroyed."
The memories in his head were coming back at once. He remembered he had killed 1000 Hunters who tried to infiltrate his Dungeon. Their leader was a woman with two blades. While in the battle, the woman hailed Nine Sky many times to encourage her men. However, in the end she was trampled to death by the Trolls.
Isaac smiled. "Looks like it's fate."
Without hesitation, Isaac applied. Since there was no further information, he applied for two slots.
[Processed. Wait for the moderator's reply.]
His face was sour for a moment. Isaac thought he would be accepted right away. However, he didn't lose hope. He had been waiting for a reply all night and still no message came. It crossed Isaac's head to look for another thread. When exactly it was 12 p.m. his smartphone screen lit up.
[You are accepted for the porter team. Gather tomorrow at 10 a.m at Nine Sky Headquarters, Chaoyang District.]
