Chapter 487: Onishi, Vice-Captain!

“September, Nine Star…these two seem like big guilds, could they have a subordinate relationship?” Feng Luo asked Big Pineapple in the channel .

“It’s not a subordinate one . The Nine Star Group ranked first and the September Guild ranked fourth on the Storm City’s top 10 guild ranking were actually one guild at the start . Then, the co-founders of the Nine Star Group were nine people whose ID all had a “Star,” hence the name . But once the guild had built up to a certain level, a disagreement broke out among the nine higher-ups due to an unknown reason . After that, four of them brought a portion of the people away and built a September Guild to compete with the original Nine Star Guild, while the other five people continued to invest in Nine Star, at last succeeding at the summit of Storm City . ” In a research laboratory a few kilometers away, Digital Cat stared at the screen encompassing all sorts of T-750 numerical data as her fingers operated the modification of the blueprint . She spoke through the team channel, her voice transmitted to everyone’s ears through the channel in the Agent earphones .

“But this ID of Celestial Star still appeared on the Nine Star Guild’s director meeting report a week ago . Now, he wants you all to join the Nine Star Guild, this is really something…” Digital Cat’s voice from the team channel had a tone of sarcasm .

“Indeed there’s something up . ” Feng Luo agreed, but his tone was more profound .

Since the connection between him and the September Guild was not just limited to the Agent mission .

The September Guild was now engaged in large-scale cooperation with the Lu Conglomerate, and before yesterday at the underground ruins; he, Mu Zi, and the others had just killed three of the September Guild’s Elite players .

With this, he and Mister X were actually considered “foes . ” Of course, Feng Luo thought that Mister X might not have known of this matter .

At that time after Feng Luo had “heard” the content of the discussion among them, he had already understood that the person against him backstage was September Night Rain .

For a company boss such as Mister X, he would not look at such small matters .

“The September Guild? Mister X, I don’t really understand what you said, compared with the Nine Star Guild ranked in the top 10, the September Guild is out of the 100 places on the overall ranking – the two are a whole level apart in ability . Joining the September Guild to us isn’t attractive anymore . Especially for our vice-captain Onishi, as North City’s number one expert, how could he give up his popularity to join a guild behind 100 places?” Phoenix’s smile remained while her tone became similarly sarcastic .

“No, Miss Phoenix . I feel that the September Guild would be the more suitable guild for everyone . Please forgive me for being unable to say the reason for this clearly at the moment . What I can say is that very quickly, the September Guild will rush to the top 100, even to the top 20 places . ” Mister X’s smile remained .

However, his eyes actually revealed a bit of astonishment when Phoenix just said the term “vice-captain,” but he still continued speaking .

“And to a guild, especially to a super guild in the top 20, newly added star players can’t be done without . The few of you joining now will enjoy all of the guild’s resources and wholehearted support; I can guarantee that with each of your abilities, everyone would have a chance to rise up to Storm City’s top 10 star player ranking . ” As he spoke, his gaze switched between Feng Luo and Onishi, landing on Feng Luo at last .

“There’s nothing much to guarantee at this point, especially for Onishi, he is now already North City’s number one expert, also in the top 20 on the overall popularity ranking . ” Phoenix stared at Mister X, smiling as she spoke of Onishi’s identity once again .

Onishi, who was sitting beside her, did not rebut as everyone had already seen that Phoenix was deliberately picking on Mister X’s words . Perhaps, she was interested in joining the guild .

No matter whether it was Onishi or Feng Luo, they naturally would not mind helping Phoenix by sitting here quietly .

“Mm, Mister Onishi certainly is the top star player . But recently on the overall ability ranking, he has dropped consecutively to below 50 places, no longer in the top 20 . My apologies, Mister Onishi, I’m not belittling you . ” Mister X especially expressed apology to Onishi .

“No problem, this is the truth . ” Onishi waved his hand, his expression unchanging .

Since he did not have any Legendary equipment and only recently started doing missions consecutively, he was thought by some people to be lagging in ability already, thus Mister X’s words did not have the meaning of deliberately hurting him .

Furthermore, they knew that Mister X bringing up this matter was to use the chance to say something else .

“Actually, with Onishi’s ability, let’s not say top 20, even top 10 or top 5 would definitely be within his capability to enter . But why did he not enter? Clearly because Mister Onishi being a solo player, lacking in a guild to provide all the logistics and popularity management . ” Mister X continued and followed up with this question .

Towards his viewpoint, Feng Luo and the others actually agreed .

The disadvantage of solo players was that they, unlike the players with the support of large guilds, are able to focus their effort on farming for popularity and without having to care about other matters .

Including the equipment and skills that would all be prepared by the guild – a large portion of those players with Legendary equipment did not rely on their own ability to get them, but were provided for by the guild . In this, players with guilds had great advantage .

“You just have to join the guild and we would purchase the most suitable Legendary equipment for Mister Onishi first thing . We’d also help you raise your popularity back through the public relations department, definitely able to step up your popularity in the end . Similarly, it’ll be such treatment for everyone . ” Mister X took a glance at the three of them, especially with a serious expression when he looked to Feng Luo .

“Could Onishi similarly enjoy this treatment if he joined the Nine Star Group?” Phoenix did not express herself as she just continued to use Onishi who definitely would not be joining the guild as an example .

“That’s right, Mister Onishi would similarly be able to enjoy this treatment upon joining the Nine Star Group . What I would like to say is that as a super guild, the September Guild’s establishment has already reached its peak, plus those top-grade resources are already more or less complete in splitting . Especially having ‘Sword Ki Long River’ who is number one on Storm City’s star player popularity ranking in five months consecutively and is also top 10 in the entire game . In the allocation of first-hand resources, I think even if Mister Onishi has joined, he would not possibly completely enjoy the exact same treatment as he does . Mister Onishi, I hope by saying this you’ll understand . ” At last, Mister X spoke to the affect of Onishi’s feelings once again, and expressed apology . However, his words made sense .

In War, the limit of a guild’s core members was one million, and the Nine Star Guild’s members had already reached the limit long before .

Although one could secure more people through some operational methods and through the “sub-guild” way, in terms of resources, it was not possible to give too much to the guild’s headquarters from the sub-guild, as this would very possibly result in difficulty in handling, like the contradiction between the Nightless Club and Lu Conglomerate .

Moreover, the Nine Star Guild’s lead star, Sword Ki Long River, belonged to those true ability-type players, even having the title of “Storm City’s number one handsome guy . ”

This type of ability cum idol-type star player was most liked by guild higher-ups, as regardless which route taken, one would definitely be worth investing in and there would be no loss .

Onishi’s ability was not inferior to Sword Ki Long River, but it had to be said that there was still a gap between the appearances of the two . This point would be even clearer if Big Pineapple was used as a comparison .

“Doesn’t the September Guild have a lead star player too – I remember he’s called September Night Rain, his ability seems like it should be considered a bit inferior, right? If Onishi or someone among us whose ability is better than his joined, would we be able to replace his position in resources?” Hearing the explanation, Phoenix did not stop, but smiled as she threw out the last crafty question .
