Chapter 88: Guild Emergency Mission
[Mouse Wine (White): A type of wine soaked with mice, full of toxicity, not suitable for living beings to drink. After undead drink it, they can have a plague attack effect for two hours.]
Looking at the mouse wine served by the skeletal barmaid, Gu Xi finally believed in the situation of the mouse wine. He pushed the cup with a mouse head soaking in it towards Luna and began to converse with the skeletal barmaid.
"Barmaid, it's only been a few days since we last met, how come you seem to have gotten prettier?"
"Really, I feel the same way."
The skeletal barmaid quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed happily.
But as she covered her mouth, the situation changed, making her less attractive without a nose.
Gu Xi rubbed his eyebrows speechlessly, "Barmaid, do you have any free time recently to help me gather information on two nearby areas? Also, if possible, gather some intel on the Aridowei Tower."
"No problem, we've been collecting relevant information recently, especially on a few nearby areas, which are our main focus."
While talking with the skeletal barmaid, the skeletal maids in the tavern served various dishes.
"Are you guys up against owls? Roasted owl is one thing, but fried owl and owl pie?"
"No, it's just that we don't have customers here now, so we study more dishes when we're idle. If there are new ingredients in the city, we will certainly try to make new dishes."
To Gu Xi's question, the skeletal barmaid answered with a casual smile.
But these were all things the skeletal barmaid and her staff did when they were idle. The effective dish was still roasted owl.
Gu Xi only trusted the system's judgment to eat roasted owl. As for owl pie, he wasn't keen on trusting it.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't trust the barmaid's skills; he just didn't trust his stomach to handle such food.
So, no matter how many dishes were served, Gu Xi only ate roasted owl and drank Green Ghost Wine.
While eating and drinking, Gu Xi chatted with the barmaid to inquire about the tavern's current situation.
The tavern had now recruited enough staff. As soon as the variety of wines reached five, it would automatically upgrade.
Upon reaching level 2, the tavern could provide some new services for Gu Xi.
As for what services, Gu Xi glanced at the skeletal maids and didn't ask further.
Anyway, those services weren't for him.
Once Gu Xi's mana fully recovered, he finally stood up, feeling slightly tipsy, and prepared to leave the tavern.
At that moment, Gu Xi suddenly heard the sound of birds fighting in the distance.
"Luna, what happened?"
Gu Xi looked in the direction of the sound, and Luna rushed out immediately.
In a short while, Luna came back holding a black raven.
"Master, this raven was probably here to deliver a message, but when it landed on the Owl Post Tower, it was attacked by the owls inside. If I hadn't gone over, it might have been driven away."
Hearing this, Gu Xi laughed heartily.
After laughing, Gu Xi remembered the situation mentioned by Li Xinghui, where the members of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild used ravens to communicate.
On the way to the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild, Li Xinghui even said he would help Gu Xi pick a good raven.
"What message did it bring?"
Gu Xi asked curiously.
Luna extended her hand, and a red letter appeared in it.
"What's this?"
Gu Xi opened the letter and found it said:
Game Code ULYUHDDS04CC80 World (Guard) has an incident. All players are required to drop their current tasks and assemble urgently to handle the issue in this world.
All players receiving this letter should immediately exit the current game and gather at the guild's main square.
Besides this, there was also the emblem of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild.
Gu Xi knew immediately that the letter was genuine.
He thought for a moment and told Luna, "It seems I can't stay here any longer, the guild has called me back. The construction of Aridowei City is up to you."
"Master, rest assured, everything here is under control."
"Also, keep an eye on Shaya. Her situation is more dangerous. If there's any problem, call her back immediately."
"Understood."
After giving the instructions, Gu Xi didn't linger. With a single step, he left Aridowei City.
As Gu Xi left, the skeletal barmaid was just bringing up newly prepared dishes.
Seeing Gu Xi's departing figure, the skeletal barmaid complained.
"How dull, he just eats and drinks and then runs off, men are all like this."
Gu Xi didn't care about his reputation in Aridowei. After leaving Aridowei City, he immediately saw a large number of necromancers coming out of the apartment buildings, heading towards the main square of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild.
At the same time, some players quickly exited the game. They didn't even bother to sort their belongings or take a break, waiting directly in the main square.
Gu Xi looked around and finally spotted Li Xinghui in a battle squad.
He waved to Li Xinghui from a distance and then waited in a corner of the main square.
Because he was not yet familiar with the operational mode of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild and didn't know which squad he would be assigned to, he stood alone, waiting for the final arrangement.
After about ten minutes of chaos, the players in the main square finally calmed down.
Gu Xi noticed that necromancers made up 60% of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild. Of the remaining, 30% were death knights, and the last 10% were various strange undead professions.
However, not all players grouped according to their professions. They gathered in squads.
Most squads were three to five members, with some 20-person and 40-person teams.
Once the players were mostly assembled, two strong-looking players began calling names from a roster.
Gu Xi listened casually.
As he listened, Gu Xi realized that the players called back urgently were not all members of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild but those between levels 3 and 6.
These players were the foundation of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild.
After confirming the player count and levels, the guild leader of the Radiant Sunshine Glory Guild stepped forward.
