C25 Mercenary
Ye Tianhan certainly wouldn't turn down such an opportunity.
"I'm fine with that, as long as Honeyhollow doesn't infringe on my freedom," Ye Tianhan said with a smile.
Before the group's leader could respond, Mayor Lee arrived in a rush, flanked by dozens of Honeyhollow's elite players.
Upon seeing Ye Tianhan, their faces brightened with respect and fervor. Some players even looked starstruck.
Despite the game's recent launch, these players already revered Ye Tianhan as a deity among gamers, their supreme idol. Their admiration was profound and beyond words.
"I can meet your terms, and I'll even organize a dedicated team of over ten thousand players just to support you," Mayor Lee declared, thumping his chest confidently.
Ye Tianhan's gaze flickered at the proposition.
In the current state of Prehistoric Online Game, the loot from monsters wasn't overly significant. But as the game progressed to the Late Period, upgrading equipment would require an abundance of materials.
Clearly, Ye Tianhan lacked the time for such endeavors.
Thus, early on, players would form squads to farm for materials and crystals, trading them for cash to secure the backing of powerful players in reality.
Indeed, some wealthy heirs even employed teams to grind for them.
In essence, for Ye Tianhan to grow stronger, a dedicated amateur team was essential.
Mayor Lee's offer effectively dispelled Ye Tianhan's concerns.
Moreover, a team of ten thousand could provide a continuous stream of experience and training, accelerating a player's leveling and skill advancement.
With this in mind, Ye Tianhan chuckled and said, "If Mayor Lee has gone to such lengths, I'd be remiss not to accept."
At Ye Tianhan's acceptance, Mayor Lee's eyes shone with triumph.
His greatest worry had been Ye Tianhan's refusal, which would have left Honeyhollow's security hanging in the balance.
Currently, humanity resided in underground cities, and the encroaching threat of demonic and magical beasts only heightened the peril, particularly for urban areas.
Mayor Lee had to consider the bigger picture.
But truly, Mayor Lee saw this as a chance to cultivate a super player for Honeyhollow.
You must understand that a truly formidable super-player can't just go it alone; they need a super-team to handle the logistics.
"Ha! With Ye Tianhan on board, I can breathe easier," Mayor Lee chuckled, glancing at the fallen demon and magical beast corpses before signaling to a group of elite players who promptly approached.
These elite players, while not as powerful as Ye Tianhan, were all level 15—a cut above the rest. "During the third login, these elites will each take a group of players under their wing, specifically to assist with your training and cultivation," Mayor Lee explained, gesturing towards them.
The elite players nodded emphatically, their gazes on Ye Tianhan brimming with admiration. "It's our privilege to manage logistics for Teacher Ye Tianhan!" "Indeed, we're fortunate to support Teacher Ye Tianhan with logistics, cultivation, and gear!" "Rest assured, Teacher Ye Tianhan, we've got your logistics covered!"
They all fell silent, each eager to express their commitment. Like Mayor Lee, they shared the ambition to elevate Ye Tianhan as one of the mightiest players, a strategy crucial for safeguarding Honeyhollow and the entirety of Owhuigro.
With a slight nod, Ye Tianhan acknowledged that Mayor Lee's support would streamline many processes. After finalizing the details for the upcoming third login, Mayor Lee departed with the elite players in tow.
No sooner had the elite players left than Ye Tianhan mounted the Golden Roc, heading to Honeyhollow's city center to shop for supplies. Having just purchased a villa, he hadn't stocked up on snacks and drinks. While Ye Tianhan no longer required such sustenance, the melancholy of a homebody was something many couldn't grasp.
The city center of Honeyhollow, now under the influence of the Prehistoric Online Game, had ramped up security significantly. Police officers stood vigilant, a testament to the sweeping changes in law and order that had come with the integration into the Magic Land.
A few citizens, emboldened by the martial arts techniques they'd picked up from online games and their own strength, were brazenly breaking the law. To swiftly restore order, Honeyhollow deployed additional police officers.
Of course, these officers weren't without their own gaming rigs, through which they learned a variety of ancient cultivation methods.
Some senior officers even had the rare chance to ride in a helicopter, a feat that was previously unthinkable.
As Ye Tianhan pondered this, the city's large supermarket suddenly came into view. With a swift movement, he appeared in front of the building.
The once crowded parking lot, filled with compact cars, was now empty, replaced by the bustling feet of the townspeople.
Having quickly purchased some food and drinks, Ye Tianhan was about to mount the Golden Roc and head to his villa when a booming voice echoed from a distance: "Grab it!"
The masked middle-aged leader gestured to his followers, then with a flick of his hand, an ice spell enveloped the supermarket's security guards.
A wave of icy chill rushed forward, threatening to freeze the guards solid, but a golden aura intervened, shielding them from the frosty assault.
The unexpected resistance visibly shook the middle-aged men; they hadn't anticipated such a formidable challenge during their supermarket heist.
Moments later, the sound of ice shattering filled the air as the men were frozen in place, unable to move.
With an indifferent glance at the immobilized men, Ye Tianhan snapped his fingers, and they burst into a cloud of blood mist.
Then, Ye Tianhan, snacks and drinks in tow, took off on the Golden Roc, heading home with his bounty.
