Chapter 2697 Inspecting Zero Wing
Zero Wing Towers lobby:
With a ceiling soaring nine meters high, the lobby looked very much like a small stadium. Aside from the reception for visitors, it also had a cafe and a lounge area, as well as a virtual combat platform for the Guilds internal members to entertain themselves and visitors.
Due to these reasons, quite a lot of people had gathered in the lobby.
When Muxin and her companions entered the lobby, they quickly noticed several hundred people thronged the virtual combat platform. These people were spectating a duel between Zero Wings internal members, and the scene was very lively.
After seeing Muxins group entering the lobby, one of the front desk receptionists approached them and asked, Hello, are you here to look around Zero Wings headquarters? Or do you have other business to attend to here?
ar
My two nieces are interested in Zero Wing, so I brought them here for a visit today, Uncle Hong explained with a smile.
Certainly. The receptionist smiled and took out four visitor cards. You may visit up to the ninth floor with this visitor card. The floors beyond are only for internal members. If you have any questions after your tour, feel free to consult with the front desk.
Thank you. Uncle Hong nodded and accepted the visitor cards.
Afterward, the receptionist returned to her position at the front desk and allowed Muxins group to roam about the building freely.
Zero Wing sure is generous. Theyre actually allowing outsiders to tour their headquarters. This will save us a lot of trouble, Kerui commented in surprise as she received a visitor card from Uncle Hong.
Usually, the various large Guilds would place tight restrictions on their headquarters. Aside from the lobby, they generally wouldnt allow outsiders to visit other locations.
They might be trying to lure more people to join Zero Wing, Muxin said. She more or less understood Zero Wings circumstances.
Although Zero Wing was prospering in Gods Domain, it remained an unknown entity in the real world. Despite having gone to great lengths to secure a Guild headquarters, Zero Wing still lacked talents.
Letting visitors tour its headquarters would undoubtedly give players unaware of Zero Wings existence a better understanding of the Guild.
There are quite a few people here, but its a pity that there are hardly any experts. Even the two people dueling are only at the Half-step Refinement Realm, Kerui commented as she looked at the battle taking place at the virtual combat platform. She could tell the two duelists combat standards at a glance. I think we should be more cautious when partnering with such a Guild. Our plan involves a lot of things. If outsiders see that we cant even find capable helpers, theyll start looking down on Frost Heaven.
However, even after Kerui finished speaking, Uncle Hong, Muxin, and Tian Cheng surprisingly remained silent as they stared at a group of young men and women standing among the crowd.
How unexpected! Zero Wing really cannot be underestimated. Theyve actually kept such talents hidden, Uncle Hong praised as he looked at the several youths. Talents? Kerui stared at those ordinary-looking youths in confusion. Young Miss, you shouldnt underestimate those people. Although their auras arent apparent, they are bona fide experts. That blue-haired guy, in particular, has completely restrained his aura. If I hadnt scrutinized him, Im afraid I wouldnt even be aware of his existence, Tian Cheng, the seemingly vulnerable and honest youth standing beside Kerui, explained quietly. Honestly, Im not confident I can win against him.
How is that possible? Tian Chengs words stunned Kerui. She suspected that the latter was joking with her.
Tian Cheng was one of the peerless geniuses Frost Heaven cultivated. Not only had he reached the Domain Realm at a young age, but he also had a naturally gifted brain. His processing speed was much faster than ordinary peoples. Even the older-generation Domain Realm experts wouldnt necessarily be his match.
How could Zero Wing possibly cultivate an expert rivaling Tian Cheng?
They shouldnt be Zero Wing members, Muxin suddenly said.
Theyre not? Uncle Hong was slightly surprised.
For such youthful experts to appear in Zero Wings headquarters, how could they not be Zero Wing members?
Ive seen their information before. Although they look somewhat different in Gods Domain, their appearances are roughly the same. That blue-haired youth should be Solitary Frost, the strongest of Azures younger generation. I heard even Violet Sword values him greatly, Muxin explained.
Unlike Uncle Hong, who managed the Guild from behind the scenes, Muxin was responsible for the Guilds intelligence network. Hence, she had a much better understanding of Gods Domains various powers than Uncle Hong-especially when it came to the various superpowers younger generation. She placed great importance on collecting such information.
Why would Azures peerless genius run all the way here? Kerui grew even more puzzled at this revelation.
The various superpowers treasured their peerless geniuses. They would shower these geniuses with all sorts of precious resources and require them to undergo strict training regimens every day. They wouldnt let these people leave their headquarters at will. Tian Cheng was a similar case. If not to inspect Zero Wings strength this time, he wouldnt have received permission to leave Frost Heavens headquarters.
Zero Wing really is interesting. Not only did Azures peerless genius come running over, but so did an old fellow from Azure, Uncle Hong said as he gazed at a cool-headed, middle-aged man resting and drinking tea in a corner of the lobby.
Old fellow? When Kerui checked the focus of Uncle Hongs attention, her mouth dropped wide open subconsciously.
The man Uncle Hong was looking at was none other than Duan Hanshan, the strongest person of the Duan familys second generation. Duan Hanshans reputation in the virtual gaming industry was in no way inferior to Uncle Hongs.
Or, to put it in another way, she had grown up listening to the stories of these men.
For such a bigshot to visit Zero Wings headquarters personally was definitely big news.
At the same time Hong Xinyuan noticed Duan Hanshan, Duan Hanshan also noticed Hong Xinyuans presence. The two of them then smiled at each other.
Come. Lets head over, Hong Xinyuan said, smiling.
After saying so, Hong Xinyuan made his way to Duan Hanshan. As for Muxin and the others, they obediently followed him while bating their breaths.
Old Hong, what brings you here? Duan Hanshan greeted Hong Xinyuan with a smile.
My two nieces are interested in Zero Wing, so I came to look around, Hong Xinyuan replied perfunctorily. However, Im curious as to why the western continents Ice Demon is here. There still shouldnt be much interaction between the eastern and western continents. The Azure Chamber of Commerce mainly operated on the western continent, and the businesses it had on the eastern continent were very few. No matter how he thought about it, there shouldnt be much contact between Azure and Zero Wing.
Narrowing his eyes, Duan Hanshan refused to believe a single word from Hong Xinyuans mouth. He then stroked his beard and said flatly, Its nothing. I just brought some of Azures newcomers for a training meeting with Zero Wing. You guys are here for training?
Hong Xinyuan reflexively arched a brow at Duan Hanshan, doubt coloring his face.
Let alone Hong Xinyuan, even Kerui thought Duan Hanshan was messing with them. Although she was a newcomer who had just entered the virtual gaming industry recently, she knew that the Azure Chamber of Commerce possessed an extraordinary foundation. It stood high above ordinary superpowers.
In comparison, Zero Wing was a new Guild that had just emerged along with Gods Domain. Who would believe that Azure would send its top talents to receive training from Zero Wing?
What? Dont believe me? Duan Hanshan chuckled.
If we were in a Super Guilds headquarters, I would definitely believe you, but Zero Wing? Hong Xinyuan chuckled and shook his head.
Some Guild operations indeed had to be kept confidential and could not be disclosed to outsiders. However, in Hong Xinyuans opinion, Duan Hanshans excuse was simply too poor. Saying that Azures top talents had come to teach Zero Wings newcomers would be more believable.
I knew you wouldnt believe me. Duan Hanshans smile grew even brighter when he heard Hong Xinyuans reply. He then pointed at the nearby virtual combat platform and said, Were going to have a coaching battle with Zero Wing in a moment. Since you dont believe me, how about we make a bet?
Bet? How are we betting? Hong Xinyuan asked out of curiosity.
Didnt you bring a newcomer too? Duan Hanshan glanced at Tian Cheng. Calmly, he said, I can see hes quite good. How about you have him replace one of my newcomers? However, this is a precious spot, so I cant just let your newcomer join for free. Ill have to collect five bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid as a deposit.
Hong Xinyuan nearly choked at Duan Hanshans proposal. Not only was Duan Hanshan asking his side to contribute manpower, but he was even asking for five bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid. Duan Hanshan was too shameless!
Dont be in a hurry to reject me. Upon seeing Hong Xinyuans dark face, Duan Hanshan added, If you win this bet, Ill pay you back double.
It seems youre quite optimistic of Zero Wings members. Hong Xinyuan was somewhat surprised.
Ten bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid were enough to supply a top talent for half a year-a significant amount to any superpower. Sort of. Duan Hanshan nodded. However, if you lose, youll have to compensate me with an additional ten bottles.
... Hong Xinyuan was momentarily at a loss for words.
Why did Duan Hanshan make it sound as if they would lose no matter what?
When had Frost Heavens reputation fallen to such a degree?
How about it? Wanna bet? Duan Hanshan asked hastily when Hong Xinyuan remained silent for some time.
However, Hong Xinyuan wasnt a young and arrogant rookie. He didnt pay any attention to Duan Hanshans goading at all. Instead, he turned to look at the honest-looking Tian
Cheng.
Tian Cheng, what do you think? Hong Xinyuan asked.
