### Chapter 55: The Second Time Back to Reality
The players remained in a state of shock, unable to fully comprehend the magnitude of what they had just experienced. Yet, amidst the buzz of disbelief, Su Yu's voice cut through the noise once more:
"The second point I want to discuss is that I plan to form a guild called the 'Yellow Turban Army.'"
He continued, "Unlike the 'relevant department' guild, our guild does not offer welfare subsidies; instead, we operate on the principle of equal exchange. You work for me, and I provide satisfactory remuneration. You can join if you wish, and leave whenever you want. It's that simple."
Su Yu then outlined the impressive loot from the recent encounter with the [Howling Moon Wolf King]: "This time, the boss dropped 40 pieces of level 10 green equipment, 10 pieces of level 10 blue equipment, 10 ordinary skill scrolls, 3 green-quality skill scrolls, and even 3 green-quality pet eggs."
"Out of these, I'll keep one pet egg and two ordinary skill scrolls for myself; the rest will be distributed to guild members on a first-come, first-served basis!"
As the weight of Su Yu's words settled in, players exchanged astonished glances. The nemesis boss was starting a guild?
Initially, when he mentioned the lack of welfare subsidies, many players shrugged it off. But the promise of "equal exchange" sparked interest among them.
"I like the idea of equal exchange! This way, quitting the guild won't feel like a burden," one player exclaimed.
"Exactly! Sure, the 'relevant department' gives a joining subsidy of 2,000, but that comes with strings attached. If you take the money, you'd feel guilty about skipping guild activities or leaving easily," another added.
Excitement rippled through the crowd as Su Yu mentioned the spoils from the Wolf King. The sheer volume of high-tier loot was enough to raise eyebrows.
Level 10 blue equipment? Green-quality skill scrolls? Pet eggs? Just acquiring any one of these could catapult a player into the top echelon! Many core members of major guilds lacked such gear.
Players began to feel a sense of urgency, remembering the name "Yellow Turbans" and vowing to join as soon as they hit level 10. With these rewards, even if they decided to leave later, they wouldn't have to worry about the guild demanding anything in return.
Su Yu had to keep his announcement concise, aiming to wrap it all up in under a minute.
"As for the third matter," he declared, "I plan to collaborate with the Emperor Blood Guild to answer most of the questions raised by the final boss in the [Qingqing Grassland] dungeon, the village chief of Yangcun. I will post the solutions on the official forum as a free resource for all players!"
"Really?" someone shouted in disbelief.
"That's awesome!" another cheered.
"Thanks, Nemesis Boss!" a third added, and waves of gratitude washed over the crowd.
While the first two points were significant, the third resonated deeply with every player present. The chance to quickly clear the dungeon and secure level 5 green equipment was fantastic news for the majority of players.
Praise for Su Yu rang out throughout the player community.
The impact of Su Yu's announcements was profound. Within moments, news of these developments spread from online discussions to offline forums and across various social media platforms.
In a chat group, the player known as True Red-eyed Black Dragon shared his thoughts:
"The Nemesis Boss is actually starting a guild? If it weren't for Emperor Blood tying me down, I'd want to join too! (´･ω･`)"
Wing Shenlong responded, "Just go for it! What do you have to lose?"
Sky Dragon added, "Exactly! Brother Nemesis can single-handedly take down bosses. You'd be getting in on the action!"
True Red-eyed Black Dragon sighed, "I can't. As a middle-aged man with a family to support, I can't afford the risk. I can't pay a million-dollar penalty if things go south! (;へ:)"
Giant God Soldier chimed in, "Yeah, Emperor Blood has invested so much."
Then, he asked, "By the way, I've compiled the village chief's questions. Should I post them on the forum now?"
"Let's get them up ASAP since Nemesis will log off soon," True Red-eyed Black Dragon replied.
"I'll post them!" Sky Dragon declared.
The rest were taken aback. "???"
Back in the game, Su Yu made his way to the warehouse, observing how nearly every player was discussing his earlier announcements. Thanks to the benefits he promised, player sentiment towards him had skyrocketed, with many now speaking his name with newfound respect.
After depositing the unwanted equipment and skill scrolls, Su Yu checked the results of yesterday's auction. The [Death Strike] skill scroll he listed had sold for 4,900 psionic coins to Emperor Blood Killing the Sky.
"Only a super-rich second generation would spend that much on a low-level scroll," Su Yu mused, shaking his head. The exchange rate of psionic coins had dipped slightly, yet it still hovered around 1:17. His 4,899 coins translated to a hefty 80,000 yuan—a price only someone like Emperor Blood Slaughter would pay for a basic item.
Aside from the [Death Strike] scroll, the remaining [Power Word Shield] from the Silver Snake boss sold for 407 psionic coins, and the [Dark Iron Boots lv3 (Excellent)] fetched 115 psionic coins.
These were modest gains, so Su Yu shoved the coins into his backpack without much thought.
After twelve hours of in-game time, he finally logged off.
"Ding! Will the power in the game manifest in reality?"
"Of course!"
Once again, a surge of psychic energy flowed from the helmet, infusing Su Yu's body. Despite being a magician, he could feel the muscles in his frame swell with newfound strength. The sensation was exhilarating.
Ten minutes later, the psychic infusion concluded, and his realistic template appeared above the helmet:
**Player:** Su Yu
**Realm:** Junior Magician
**Level:** Level 10
**Skills:** [Magic Bullet (Epic)], [Lightning Arrow (Epic)], [Lightning Shield (Epic)]
**Spell Power:** 53
**HP:** 170
**Mana:** 280
**Equipment:** [Village Chief's Staff lv5]
**Item:** [Intermediate Recovery Potion]
"Well, the stats are decent, and today's haul has met my expectations. But now is not the time to relax," Su Yu reminded himself.
He stood up, stretching to loosen his muscles in his rented room and mentally noting, "I can't afford to let my guard down, especially with the Skrull army's invasion looming just a year away!"
After the event, he ordered a takeaway and opened the official forum. The Giant God Soldier had already compiled over 800 questions, which had been posted and was now garnering attention—topping over 1,000 replies.
Su Yu didn't mind the buzz. He copied Giant God Soldier's questions, answered them according to his memory, and created a post to share on the official forum.
Since the game and the forum were integrated, he felt no fear about revealing his real information.
Once that was done, he opted not to delve into the netizens' replies just yet. He could explore that later during his leveling grind.
Instead, he opened a search engine to browse local news from Donghai City, hoping to uncover any clues regarding the ghost's existence from recent reports.
