Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 71 - 68: There’s no time, get in the car first!

Wen Nan was taken aback, sizing up the young man—

He looked about sixteen or seventeen, like a high school student. His skin had an unhealthy pallor, he wasn’t tall, and was very thin. With this frail body, it seemed like a gust of wind could blow him away, so his attribute values surely weren’t very high.

It was precisely because of this that, in the recent speed challenge, he was last to pick and chose [Wealthy Woman Seeking Son].

Looking like this, the poor kid would probably be entirely at the mercy of the wealthy lady...

Wen Nan was pondering when the kid eagerly pulled up his attribute panel and displayed it to Wen Nan—

[Name: Guo Xiaofu]

[Level: lv1]

[Strength: 12/100]

[Agility: 14/100]

[Armor: 9/100]

[Charm: 3/100]

Oh dear, after finishing a trial map you’re still at lv1, fine, but all these attributes are so low? Even if you just met the pass mark for each quest, the experience points received should be more than this, right?

How on earth did he manage this?

Seeing Wen Nan’s expression, Guo Xiaofu nervously explained, "My attribute values are indeed a bit low, but I assure you, for every future map, I will do my utmost to complete it and improve myself quickly!"

Knowing that his assurance was weak, he gritted his teeth, handed out his soul puppet with his left hand, pulled up his inventory with his right, and said:

"As long as you agree to let me join your guild and accept my soul puppet, all my current equipment, items, and Gold Coins will be yours!"

Wen Nan furrowed his brow, pretending to ponder.

Oh? Is there such a great deal?

A target to conquer, he wanted, and it was offered to him on a silver platter; a guild member he wished to recruit, and the other party volunteered; now even ready to hand over all his assets?

Just as Wen Nan was about to speak, Guo Xiaofu anxiously interrupted him, raising his hand,

"Wait! Please don’t reject me yet! Also! I... I am willing to sign a membership contract with you, promising to dedicate all future assets to the guild!"

Wen Nan: (ಠ.̫.̫ಠ)

He hadn’t expected that by just hesitating a little, this could lead to getting another harvest from this eager newbie.

This young man, truly... has loyalty and capability!

What more could he ask for?

Only one thing—

"You can join, and I can manage your soul puppet for you, but under one condition."

"Oh, anything, Guild Master!" Guo Xiaofu said eagerly, changing his address in advance.

"In the last trial map, how did you manage to clear it?" Wen Nan asked.

Guo Xiaofu’s smile froze.

This was his biggest secret in the game world, and it was seen through by this man at once?

This...

With fists clenched, Guo Xiaofu struggled internally for a long time, and finally chose to hand over his secret instead of facing the high-level lady ghost with his soul puppet alone.

He squeezed out another smile and whispered into Wen Nan’s ear, "I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to discuss here, that item can’t be brought in, nor handed over to you right now."

Wen Nan squinted his eyes, looking at Guo Xiaofu meaningfully.

Did he really use some special item? He was just casually asking, never expecting to actually trick it out of him.

Wen Nan’s thoughts were beyond Guo Xiaofu’s comprehension, yet seeing the mysterious gaze, he inexplicably felt guilty, and after a struggle, finally said:

"Guild Master, if needed, I... I can add this to the membership contract as well, I’ll hand it to you once we leave this map!"

Hmm?

Could it be done like this?

He was just curious, asking casually, and hadn’t intended on exploiting the other’s equipment.

However, since it was already offered, he couldn’t refuse. After pretending to think it over, Wen Nan nodded, "No need to hand it directly to me, just allocate it to the guild’s equipment vault." After all, the entire guild belonged to him, so the vault’s contents were naturally his too.

Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaofu nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes."

Too small, his perspective was too small. The Guild Master’s perspective far surpassed his own.

Without another word, Guo Xiaofu signed the membership contract and joined at lightning speed.

Wen Nan watched the ’Wenna’ guild’s member count leap from 2 to 3, nodded contentedly, and extended a hand, palm up, towards Guo Xiaofu.

Guo Xiaofu was momentarily confused, "Guild Master, I’ve given you everything, not a drop left."

Wen Nan felt a bit helpless, did he look like someone who would extort?

"I mean your soul puppet, hand it over."

"Oh, oh."

Only then did Guo Xiaofu snap back, hurriedly stuffing the doll into Wen Nan’s palm with such force, it seemed he might twist its neck.

In his palm, the beautifully dressed elegant lady flashed with radiance and a system prompt appeared in Wen Nan’s mind—

9527: [Detected player Guo Xiaofu is requesting to transfer soul puppet, accept?]

Pressing [Confirm], the public screen above them immediately scrolled with a notification—

[The soul puppet of ’Wealthy Woman Seeking Son’ has been successfully transferred to player Ye Jiu, and this character’s strategy level will also be transferred.]

[Once the main quest opens, transfers of soul puppets between players will be prohibited, please be informed.]

[Now entering the main quest opening countdown—]

[100—]

[99—]

With only 100 seconds left for the exchange, Huang Yan was getting anxious, "Guild Master, time’s running out, tell me how to behave!"

Wen Nan shook his head, taking the ’Young Wife’ from him, "You’re already a member, as your Guild Master, I’ll cover you this time, you can show your performance next time during assignments."

Huang Yan repeatedly thanked the Guild Master, moved to tears, thinking that joining the ’Wenna’ guild was a huge bargain.

Wen Nan calmly accepted Huang Yan’s soul puppet because, firstly, the opponent was already his member, and he didn’t want his precarious membership numbers to drop by 50% right away; and secondly, he was setting an example for the remaining three players in the room.

Sure enough, with only half a minute left on the countdown, three player attribute panels fluttered before him.

Wen Nan raised an eyebrow, speaking slowly, "You can join, the contract terms will be the same as Guo Xiaofu’s, can you accept them?"

The three looked at each other.

Honestly, for Guo Xiaofu, an lv1 player with such low attribute values, to have such a contract made sense, but for the remaining three of them, two lv2’s, and one lv3, to receive the same treatment was a bit unjust.

But...

The countdown had already reached the last 10 seconds.

No time left, join now and discuss later!

"Okay."

"Fine."

"We’re good."

The three nodded together.

Wen Nan snapped his fingers, "Deal! Welcome to join the ’Wenna’ guild!"

As all three ’sale’ contracts were signed and all soul puppets were in Wen Nan’s hands, the countdown just ended.

[The starting instance officially begins! Wish the players good luck!]

[New player quests have been delivered, please check!]
