My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 425 - 365: Natural Orator

When Xu Xiaoyou's fingers touched the email, it silently disappeared into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Xu Xiaoyou opened the inbox and couldn't find the previous email from the 'Unknown Visitor'.

The latest email was a nursery rhyme sung to her by Chichu Chun.

Since the end of the Sisyphus Train instance, she would occasionally recall past memories, like this song that suddenly came to her mind while humming, and she recorded it for Xiaoyou to listen to immediately.

": There was a farmer who had a dog~♪"

": and bingo was his name-o~♪"

The innocent and youthful voice singing the nursery rhyme gave off a feeling of pure joy, matching her lively personality.

Xu Xiaoyou listened halfway through, and her pent-up emotions were significantly relieved, so she paused the voice message.

Was it just her illusion just now?

Xu Xiaoyou shook her head; perhaps she had too many things on her mind lately, making her slightly dazed.

How could the other party possibly send her an email through Oasis?

"Please give... me a warm hug."

"The world is so cold... I'm about to lose my way."

Yet the illusion felt so real. Reflecting on the message she saw earlier, Xu Xiaoyou's thoughts began to scatter.

Pangard, regarding this "Parasite Miracle" event, of course, she led her guild to participate.

Her gaze lingered on the guild's online list.

The first batch recruited by the Light Chasing Garden consisted of thirty members. Except for 'Fei Yueyue', all guild members were above Two Tier, with six players above Three Tier. Surprisingly, there wasn't a single application from a Fourth Tier or above player to join the guild.

Indeed, not a single one.

There are already very few Fourth Tier lone wolf players. Most players at Fourth Tier and above have been recruited by grand guilds with various benefits to become professional team players.

No surprise; she was just a lone commander. Aside from a notable name, compared to grand guilds, she had no benefits, no treatment.

At least grand guilds would occasionally promise big plans. Starting from scratch, she didn't even have any tangible promises, providing no persuasion to the lone wolves contemplating joining her.

It seems that just the hype around the Dark Gold Rose is far from enough. To make the name Light Chasing Garden known, she needs to secure a top position in this world instance, so the lone wolves can see a future in joining.

Looking around, the first floor of the guild base was empty. Let alone specialized training facilities like the 'Gravity Room,' it didn't even have a decent decoration plant; the place couldn't be more aptly described as barren.

The Light Chasing Garden guild chose its location in the core area of Oasis City, with the rent around three thousand Federation Shields a month. With her and Angelina penniless, the heavy responsibility inevitably fell on Chichu Chun.

": What do you think our guild base will be like?"

": Yeah, yeah, I'm so curious, it must be luxurious, right?"

": That's the great Dark Gold Rose, it must have a grand facade. Even many grand guilds on the leaderboard can't afford such a location in the core area of Oasis City."

"Black Crow: I don't care, just having basic training facilities is enough."

Recalling the girl's heartbroken look when she emptied the other's small treasury, Xu Xiaoyou let out a chuckle and sent the gathering call to the guild channel.

Before setting out, it's necessary to arrange this place, which she regarded as a 'home.'

Soon, about twenty people responded, teleporting to the guild base one after another, with the teleportation lights following closely.

As they took in their surroundings, the players who were enthusiastic about the discussion earlier were dumbfounded, rubbing their eyes, thinking they were mistaken.

With the great Dark Gold Rose's capability, how could the guild base be... so shabby?

Even the worst guild at least has the most basic training facilities, yet here it's just a few empty walls. Could it be that the great Dark Gold Rose just rented this place?

"Where is this?"

"Did I go to the wrong place?"

"Dark Gold Rose boss!"

The players' confusion faded away with a shout of excitement as they saw Xu Xiaoyou standing on stage, smiling warmly, seemingly unsurprised by the players' reactions.

"Everyone, are you surprised?"

A black-haired girl in the audience slightly narrowed her long eyes, staring intently at the figure on stage.

"Why does our guild base look so impoverished, without luxurious decorations, lavish decor, not even basic training facilities?"

"Actually..."

Xu Xiaoyou paused slightly, her lips curling up, welcoming countless expectant gazes, ready to speak the words she had long prepared in her heart.

"I want to build this guild together with all of you."

The players' eyes moved.

Xu Xiaoyou began her performance:

"Everyone present is among the guild's first batch of elders. I believe that it won't only be for this season; we will spend a long time together in the future."

"And through our time together, our understanding of each other will deepen, and our connections will become tighter, I will get to know each of your unique personalities, and you will see different sides of me."

"I am delighted to witness this deepening difference, which shows that we are fully integrating ourselves into this collective, letting go of preconceived notions, and becoming part of a collective."

"Individual power is ultimately limited. There are too many examples to prove this view; I'm sure many of you suffered oppression from other guilds before joining this guild, right?"

These words struck a chord with the players present, making them lower their heads and clench their fists.

Memories of oppression by those grand guilds or organized groups of players kept flashing in their minds, and scenes of shame emerged on the surface of memory like murky bubbles.

"Small streams can't form a big river, and tiny light can't become a great blaze alone."

"I always believe that recognizing the limit of individual power is not a weakness but wisdom."

"Blindly rejecting collectives, thinking that it's a form of domestication, I consider it an arrogantly ignorant view, a malicious mental poison."

"They metaphysically impose the success stories of a few individuals onto many different individuals, using people's hostility to wholly negate the brilliance of collectives, deny the sacrifices needed to achieve final objectives within the collective, and discredit those phased efforts."

"They brainwash individuals to stay away from collectives so that more powerful individuals or collectives can exploit, oppress, and dominate them!"

"Indeed, no one can guarantee that a collective is always good and an individual is always bad."

"Yet for some, their experiences and personalities predestine them to be unable to survive outside of collectives; only within a collective can they find their value, unveil hidden brilliance, and complete their puzzles."

"In a collective, they may achieve unexpected outcomes, such as witnessing their glowing and meaningful selves or continually reaping benefits."

"The key is choice."

"One must choose, according to one's value, to distinguish the good from bad in a collective." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"As you see, this is all I have."

Xu Xiaoyou stood on stage, looking around, boldly admitting that she had nothing.

"I cannot offer you the benefits and treatment the grand guilds offer, the only thing I can give is my promise, a promise that remains valid until I enter the grave."

"Here, I will make no demands of you, I will not force you to sign any unequal contracts, nor will I impose any behavioral restrictions on you; you can leave at any time."

"I will give you the dignity others cannot offer, while other guilds require you to die kneeling, putting shackles around your necks, treating you as weak lambs to oppress, I insist on handing you the right to choose so you can stand up and fight against unjust fate!"

"I promise, from now on, in the 'Light Chasing Garden', no one will have the right to dictate to the buds that find their home."

"Before the tree of the collective grows strong enough to shelter each of us, it needs a little nurturing."

"This nurturing, I hope we can give together, and that everyone present can witness the entire process from the tree sprouting to breaking the ground and finally growing into a towering tree."

"This is meaningful, is it not?" Xu Xiaoyou said.
