Kael's words could only be described as resounding.
Old White showed a satisfied smile, and his ranger subordinates also looked at him with envious eyes.
Kael felt no ripples in his heart, and even felt a bit like laughing.
In his previous life, the Strange Power Chaos God Club had created a guild of the same name in this game. God of Wealth, who had high hopes for the game, almost single-handedly funded the guild's expenses with his private money.
This group of people was indeed strong in combat but had scant knowledge of how to run a virtual game guild.
This situation continued to improve only after Kael entered the game, made his name, and was eventually recruited by God of Wealth.
In his previous life, Kael entered the game near the end of the 1.0 major version as a lone wolf, drifting outside the mainstream player community.
It was not until mid-2.0 that he began to rise, acquiring a powerful team battle weapon during a pursuit mission.
Later, when he sold that divine artifact in the public channel, he and God of Wealth saw eye to eye.
Lao Cai personally came to persuade him and even said that much-quoted phrase among the player community, "You're so strong, why don't you play professionally?"
When Kael heard it, his DNA moved… this was a lie.
Mainly because Lao Cai's offer was too much to refuse.
An apartment with a river view in Jiangdong, not some cramped apartment by an artificial drainage ditch, but a real river and sea view apartment with a wide-open river flowing to the sea.
Although part of the offer was due to the team battle weapon Kael possessed, it was still far above the market price.
Once the money was in place, things naturally became easier.
Later, not long after he was recruited, the guild of "Gate of the Netherworld" was assigned to Kael by the God of Wealth.
His experience with people and affairs was essentially cultivated during that time.
Player guilds were different from clubs; the core of clubs were professional players and coaches, while others didn't matter.
But a player guild, besides the club's main members, also had a significant number of high-skilled non-professional eSports players and many ordinary players.
Rather than saying it was a player guild, it was more like a small-scale business operation company.
Control of virtual currency finances, guild operations, task allocation, and team collaboration—all these tasks were not to be mentioned yet.
During Kael's tenure as Vice President of Strange Power Chaos God, the reputation of the entire guild within the player community and among its players significantly improved by at least two levels.
Whenever a player wanted to leave, even if it was just an ordinary player, as long as he was available, he would specifically go to talk to that person.
Mostly to check the departing member's recent situation, understand the reasons for leaving, and try to retain them.
Although everyone knew that once someone had the thought of leaving, such thoughts would quickly spread and eventually break, it was generally impossible to force them to stay.
Just like when an employee wants to resign, even if HR persuades them to stay, they are likely to leave after a short time of stability.
But why would a competent HR still try to persuade, even if it seemed like "futile work," even for an easily replaceable workforce?
Kael looked at Jonathan with clean eyes, then subtly glanced at the moved rangers on the scene, and even at the players…
Yeah, why?
Probably because, from the beginning, such gestures were not meant for the departing employees to see.
Just like now, when the hidden gazes of the other rangers cast over, they were the ones Kael hoped to see.
Team spirit and organizational strength were accumulated in such details.
Does it matter if it's acting? Who cares?
"Jonathan, my knight, stand up!" Kael extended his hand to him.
A visibly excited Jonathan put his hand in his lord's hand, and when he stood up, he glanced at the slightly awkward-looking Kongshan Iyuu, opening his mouth as if wanting to say something.
But he found that his lord had already turned around, smiling at the undead girl, "Is it your first time entering the Divine Continent?"
Kongshan Iyuu answered honestly, "Yes, and I spent three days on a donkey cart as soon as I got in, quite tiring."
"Are there any incubi in Chotiya's Dominion?" Kael continued.
Kongshan Iyuu thought for a moment; the NPCs regarded them as guests from the goddess Chotiya's dominion, but they were actually from the real world. Although technology advanced rapidly in reality, something like incubi couldn't possibly exist.
She instantly realized this was a lifeline and very apologetically said, "Naturally, there are no incubi in our world."
Kael chuckled lightly, his slender fingers swaying slowly, squinting his attractive peach blossom eyes, and said,
"Never had, never seen, so you wouldn't know. For hybrids like us with tails, there are many sensory nerves on the tail.
In other words, you can't touch my tail, oh. You're a girl; next time you see a hybrid like me, you should be a little more reserved."
He blinked and turned to Jonathan, smiling, "My knight, now do you understand?"
Jonathan, dropping his grievances, became cheerful again, laughing heartily, and rubbing the back of his head, "Lord Kael reacts quickly; my thick skull didn't even consider it."
He then picked up the short sword he had thrown on the ground, thought for a moment, and handed it to Kongshan Iyuu, saying, "Since this sword was offered due to a misunderstanding, let it be reborn as the misunderstanding ends.
It seems you don't have suitable equipment, so take this sword as an apology and put it in the hands of someone who deserves it.
Tell me your names; you wouldn't want me calling you 'Hey' when I take you to the dungeon, right?"
"Kongshan Iyuu!"
"God of Wealth!"
"Guarantor Human Soul!"
"Qing Ya Over Chilly Pool!"
Everyone stated their nicknames one by one. Jonathan's face, which had just shown a rare smile, froze, changing along with Kael's snicker.

He looked helplessly at Kael, seeming to understand something, slapped his head, and forced a laugh, "Aha~ ahhahaha~ so it's the customs from Chotiya's Dominion; how unique indeed!"
He couldn't help but wonder why the Harvest Goddess's followers were so strange.
Listening to them announce their names so enthusiastically reminded him of himself as a child, waving a stick around, giving himself an impressive-sounding nickname, and sweeping away weeds.
The memory he looked back on, wanting to strangle his younger self.
Honestly, he felt embarrassed for these undead.
Compared to the situation of citizens described in books about the Divine Kingdom, these people were vastly different. It made him wonder what had become of Chotiya's Dominion.
Wait, could it be the goddess Chotiya couldn't tolerate them anymore and cast them out of the Divine Kingdom?
He paused his thoughts, unsurely considering this about the goddess Chotiya. Rumor had it that gods in the Divine Kingdoms on high could hear mortals' conversations about them; would his thoughts offend the deity?
He had heard that there were priests and nuns sent by the Earth Mother Goddess Church in the territory; should he confess?
Little did Jonathan know that the voices of skepticism about the goddess Chotiya releasing the undead never ceased from the moment these "Chaos Evil" set foot on the continent.
And this would merely be the beginning.
