A hundred dollars was only equivalent to one gold coin; there was no way Lu Li wouldnât be able to afford it given his current status.
Based on how much he cared about Lu Xin, he wouldnât even hesitate to pay ten thousand dollars, let alone a small sum of one hundred dollars. As long as Lu Xin truly liked it, he didnât mind at all.
He was only making a show because he enjoyed the admiration from his sister.
At the same time, Lu Xin enjoyed the look on her brotherâs face, the look that told her he couldnât turn down her request. When they were still poor, she wouldnât even bring herself to ask for a piece of clothing that was only ten dollars.
Lu Li paid the money and Lu Xin put on her new stylish clothing that revealed a tiny bit of her white tummy. A head-piece, which had also been bought by Lu Li, rested on her forehead. There she stood â a fifteen-year-old girl that looked clean and cute, but exuded an innocent charm.
"Bro, I want Mooncakes!"
"Can you buy..."
"Bro, I want to buy a festive lantern!"
"Can you get me that..."
"Bro, look at that guy dancing over there! Heâs so cool! Thereâs a big basket on his head too."
"What part of him is cool? Donât look at him. I wonder which race heâs from; heâs not even wearing a top. If it wasnât for todayâs celebration, Iâd definitely kill him until he canât play this game anymore."
"Youâre just jealous. Thereâs no way youâre not jealous."
"Nonsense. Youâre too young to even understand what the word âjealousâ means. Iâll take you to the shores; you havenât seen the tides, right? Theyâre very beautiful..."
This was a personal time that belonged to the siblings. Lu Li blocked all the channels and even blocked his communicator.
Lu Xin felt like she had never been this happy before. She already had an inkling that her sickness was very severe and knew that a lot of money would be involved in the treatment. She didnât want to be her brotherâs burden, but from another perspective, Lu Li had earned a lot of money through this game.
From the bottom of her heart, she thanked and loved Dawn.
On the other hand, Lu Li knew that he had been neglecting her sister for too long, so he was trying his best to make it up to her.
The guild was in preparation and he was the actual leader, so there was a lot that he had to worry about.
"Whereâs Lu Li?" Square Root 3 paced around anxiously in the temporary station of the guild.
"He blocked his messages." Azure Sea Breeze was hammering the shield that he held onto. He had made up his mind to forge his own shield and not use the one that Lu Li had made for him. He simply had way too much time on his hands.
"Right. We should discuss the contract for club players with him."
Square Root 3 gave Azure Sea Breeze a wishful look and hoped to receive an actual answer from him.
"Donât look at me like that; Iâm honestly not gay," Azure Sea Breeze teased. He always enjoyed annoying others.
"Gosh, whatâs with these people?" Originally, Square Root 3 had a lot of respect for Azure Sea Breeze. After all, he was the legendary number one tank who had participated in every single one of Lu Liâs First Clears.
After he had actually come into contact with these people, he realized that things were far from his imagination.
Although Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan were both adorable, one was dorky and the other was simply dumb. It was pointless to expect any kind of constructive feedback from them.
When Square Root 3 asked about their opinion on the guild name, they batted their watery eyes and asked innocently if they could name the guild Pikachu.
Fly, Pikachu!
Square Root 3 was close to sending them flying too.
Sakura Memories returned to leveling up. She had made up her mind that she was going to reach the top of the Level Rankings and had no interest in anything else besides this.
Why was such a beautiful girl so dedicated to becoming a gaming master?
Sesame Rice Ball looked timid and seemed as if he was ready to give everything to prove his enthusiasm to Square Root 3. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide any useful feedback. It seemed like he didnât know much outside of gaming.
Lonesome Flower gave him a cool side-glance, before he dragged his sister out.
Moonlight went out to drink with his friends and clearly expressed before he left that Square Root 3 could make the decisions for the guild. If there was anyone that Square Root 3 didnât like and wanted dead, he would gladly take up the task.
Wandering was fixated on his little mirror, enchanted by his own looks. Square Root 3 couldnât work up the courage to disturb him.
Azure Sea Breeze seemed normal, but that was about it.
This guy was always glued together with Wandering and had even taken their share of the club together. Apparently, they also lived together in real life. He was a perfect fit for Square Root 3âs definition of a homosexual.
"Didnât Lonesome Flower take March Rain to see the festive lantern? Itâs probably the same for Lu Li. These people with sisters... Big three, do you have any sisters?" Azure Sea Breeze was rather envious.
Lu Li addressed Square Root 3 as âthird brotherâ, so Sesame Rice Ball and the others also did the same.
However, Wandering and Azure Sea Breeze felt like this wasnât friendly enough, so just like Moonlight, they called him big three. This seemed more brotherly to them.
Square Root 3 didnât get angry. Richy Rich used to call him big three as well, however, he did so with a demanding tone. On the other hand, these two honestly treated him as one of them.
"I donât have a sister," Square Root 3 said as his expression darkened.
"Thatâs a shame. If only I had a sister tooâŚ" Azure Sea Breezeâs mind wasnât on the club contract at all. Every time something like this happened, he always wished that he had a sister to look after too.
"Where can I find Lu Li?" Square Root 3 asked weakly. He wasnât very hopeful of receiving a response.
"Donât bother. Thereâs no use even if you find him," Azure Sea Breeze replied as he gave him a sympathetic look. "Big three, you should just decide this on your own. As for the ground rules, just make sure the deal is good. After all, weâre the ones getting paid anyway. Lu Li wouldnât care about it. If you really want someone to discuss this with, you should talk to that self-obsessed guy instead."
"What did you guys say about me?" Wandering walked over.
"Letâs talk about the club contract." Square Root 3 could only place his hopes in this beautiful guy who seemed very unreliable.
What were the chances of a guy who looked like this being reliable at all?
Surprisingly, when serious business was involved, it was actually Wandering who was the most reliable. He nodded his head and said, "This is something that needs to be considered indeed. What plans do you currently have in mind?"
Club members had to sign contracts, but for the average members, it wouldnât be so strict. However, the main team members and celebrity players would have more rules to follow.
For example, Sesame Rice Ball was a main team member for PVP and could also be counted as an outer member of the club. After he signed the club contract, he would be able to receive a fairly decent salary.
Of course, if he breached the contract, he would also take more responsibility. Just the compensation fee alone would be quite a sum.
The contract for celebrity players would include even more rules. It would stress the contract date, the authority and responsibility between both parties, and would also include the profit shares and rewards.
Most importantly, because they had received such high treatment, they would also be required to pay more compensation if they breached the contract.
In poaching a celebrity player from another club, the compensation fee alone would start from millions of dollars. During the current season, Hot Twitch had switched from Peacetime Dynasty to Brotherhood club, which costed 2.6 million dollars. There was also another signing bonus on top of this; it was truly a huge sum.
In order for Brotherhood to steal an expert, they had spent about a yearâs worth of their profits.
This was how the clubs were managed at the moment. They did their best to create celebrity players and made them valuable. In order to not let their investments go to waste, a huge sum of compensation was a necessity.
Wandering also understood this. After some discussion, they quickly reached a conclusion.
"Shouldnât we discuss this with Lu Li too?" Square Root 3 didnât think that this was the right thing to do. He didnât feel like he had enough authority to do this.
"It doesnât really matter," Wandering said carelessly. "He wouldnât really mind. Instead of participating in guild management, he would much rather do dungeons or go on all kinds of adventures in the game. As long as there are no problems with the overall direction, youâre free to make your own decisions."
