Join the ServerTurret Fairy seized the chance to strike first, berating Huo Jinjin.
“[Are you brain-dead or what!]”
Huo Jinjin had a bad feeling, but his brain hadn’t caught up yet.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t we supposed to take this chance to promote Gunfire Rose? If everyone sees our strength, we can recruit new members, right?”
Turret Fairy’s rapid-fire words finally woke Huo Jinjin up.
He slapped his hand, enlightened. “[Oh!!! I’m so awesome!]”
“[Awesome your head!]”
The world channel buzzed with discussion about Huo Jinjin’s leak.
“[We have a traitor in our ranks: No way, that little Gunfire Rose of less than fifty people? Not even as many as our water army! Alright, stop bragging, we know you got lucky a few times against Sword Sweeping the World. Now that the big shots are talking, why are you butting in!]”
Followed by similar mockery.
“[Encounter King: Nah, it’s common knowledge that Gunfire Rose does have an elite team of two, and that team even made Sword Sweeping the World stumble many times. Plus, news just broke that their members have overpowered large-scale damage skills. So that guy called Unmoving King Huo Jinjin might not be lying.]”
“[Commander of the Hundred Knowledge Army: Agree with above. Fortune isn’t something you grab with numbers… Maybe we’re witnessing a future king rising step by step!]”
“[Scout of the Hundred Knowledge Army: Just five people snatching fortune from many guilds? That’s pretty cool!]”
Huo Jinjin wanted to explain he was joking, but the flood of comments kept him from speaking, and explaining would only make it worse.
“[Hey look! They’re saying we’re cool!]” “[See, I told you we’re cool!]” Huo Jinjin scratched his head, changing the subject.
Since it was out, there was no use explaining. But it was fine; after the waves, I could start my plan.
“Alright, since it’s out, no need to explain. Being enemies with billions is no big deal.” I smiled.
“[Look at Goddess Ya! That was smooth! Just billions of people? What are you afraid of, Dingbat Fairy!]” Huo Jinjin quickly latched on.
Of course, I wasn’t trying to antagonize the world, just lighten the mood.
“Indeed, nothing to fear. In this second world, everyone is fighting for limited opportunities to rise, so we’re already at odds with the world, just not surrounded yet… But for sure, for a while, Gunfire Rose will face admiration and pressure from major guilds.”
Everyone nodded. They had just gotten excited about the bug-level artifact equipment, but before celebrating, they had to confront powerful enemies ahead.
If the guild’s growth threatened the big guilds, this day would come eventually, just a bit early… But big guilds have their advantages; we have ours: few people, concentrated power, far greater mobility. As long as we act cautiously, those big guilds will never catch us. So we need not worry too much, just protect ourselves.
My words cleared their minds, releasing them from the pressure of being targeted by big guilds, restoring rational thought.
“[Ya Ya is right. Our guild’s combat power is concentrated in us five. As long as we are safe, Gunfire Rose will never fall… We have no strongholds or large teams, so we’re not afraid of being targeted. Big guilds have no target to attack. We just need to hide ourselves.]” Yingning added.
But conflict was inevitable, because those big guilds wouldn’t care if Huo Jinjin’s leak was true or false. He just reminded them and the world that defeating Sword Sweeping the World wasn’t a flash in the pan; a team with limitless potential was rising!
Eliminating Gunfire Rose didn’t require much strength, so why not crush the ant before it becomes an elephant?
“Girl, Gunfire Rose should immediately announce recruitment.” I said.
“[Why? You’re right; now is the time to scatter and preserve strength. Expanding numbers expands our target. If we recruit now, they’ll quickly be killed into quitting. Wait! You want to—]” Yingning paused, took a deep breath, nodded in disbelief. “[I understand. I’ll listen to you.]”
“Hey, don’t speak in riddles! You sisters have a telepathic connection, but our IQs can’t keep up!” Huo Jinjin pouted and yelled.
“Great waves sift the sand, leaving gold; raging winds sweep clouds, leaving kings.”
“[Don’t quote ancient poems! I’m lowbrow, okay? I understand the poem, but how does it relate to recruitment?]” Huo Jinjin looked like he was about to cry.
“[I see… This plan… it’s crazy!]” With my hint, Qingyu understood first.
“[Hey I don’t get it! Daddy Qingyu, explain please!]”
“[I see! Amazing! Truly bold! I thought carrying four was the limit for a god, but there’s something crazier! I like it!]” Turret Fairy also caught on.
“[What! Even Dingbat Fairy got it! So my IQ is the lowest of the five? Stop with the riddles, please QAQ!]” Huo Jinjin made a face like he was about to cry, but none of us explained; we just looked at him with affectionate, childlike eyes.
“[Kid, don’t think too much with your limited intelligence. It’s not good for you.]” Turret Fairy said kindly, like talking to a kindergarten child.
“[…]” Huo Jinjin surrendered, squatting in the corner speechless.
“Mm, don’t think too much. There are still many difficulties to overcome in this plan. Whether it gets implemented depends on the target’s quality. Just know that if we start, your dream of one man holding the pass against ten thousand won’t just be a dream.”
“[Oh… Anyway, latching onto Goddess Ya’s leg is the right move…]” Huo Jinjin gave up thinking.
“Alright, enough nonsense. Now let’s head to the northern coordinates N819270.W103020. Everyone hurry and gather at the north gate of Minos City.”
There were still a few hours until offline, so we might as well head out and get as close to that temple as possible.
