Guild Boss's Ambition

Guild Boss's Ambition

Author: Yang Qing

Introduction:

I traveled to a magical world like a game, said goodbye to my past gender, and became a sweet-smelling little girl. The cultural differences in the other world were very troublesome, and those adventurers who broke common sense were also very bad. I became the poster girl of a certain adventurer guild in a daze. My life was occasionally cute, occasionally adventurous, and occasionally thinking about life. Welcome to the stone house. I am Miss Lannong who is responsible for guiding everyone?

1. Unemployed (dumb)

(Dumb)──The first person pronoun is in brackets

October 2250, 10, Earth Federation - Central Plains Region.

"I'm sorry, but the company cannot renew your contract."

My direct female supervisor announced my unemployment in a bland tone.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your care all the time."

If possible, I really want to tell her what I really think in my heart, but unfortunately I am a born mute, so at the moment I can only calmly nod to her politely and give her a grateful smile.

"Stop laughing, it's really ugly. Why don't you pack your things and get out of here right now?"

Although she seemed to be scolding me fiercely, there was a hint of helplessness in her words. Although the relationship between superiors and subordinates has always been different in the past, and there are differences between men and women, I have a good relationship with my female superior. However, even if we are close in personal relationship, it cannot constitute a reason for me to continue to stay in the company.

If an ordinary clerk and a mute clerk were placed on the scales of justice, it would be obvious which one is more important.

When the company grew mature and had sufficient staff, my superior lady seemed to have no reason to keep me. I had anticipated this, so before I walked into her office, I had already tidied up my seat so that the company's resources could be invested in talents with higher returns. Haha, come to think of it, this is not the first time I've left like this, right?

Well, twelve years after graduating from college, I, at the age of thirty-one, finally found myself unemployed for the twentieth time in my life.

However, from the perspective of self-growth, this unemployment can be regarded as a disguised success. At least I have persisted in this clerical job for three years, which has allowed me to prove that I am not a social parasite who has accomplished nothing, nor am I a redundant person who can only be a burden.

"I am useful and needed by others!"

This time is beautiful and happy.

But it is not good to just dwell on the past. Although I have saved a lot of money in the past ten years of work, if I can't find a new job as soon as possible, I will starve to death on the street.

With the vigilance and awareness of a weak person, I bowed again to my female boss who took such good care of me, left her office, picked up a cardboard box filled with various personal belongings, and walked out of their company, not ours.

"Although I expected this, I can't help but feel a little depressed..."

I returned home in a daze. The fact of unemployment still had an irrefutable impact on my life and mood. On normal days, I would definitely still be struggling with the piles of documents, instead of being idle like I am now, staring at the gray ceiling with empty eyes, wasting precious time in vain...

"I feel a little depressed..."

“But I don’t want to look for a job right away…”

"I don't want to face reality for now..."

I was tossing and turning on the bed like a caterpillar, and at some point my eye happened to catch a parcel on the table in the room. It was a package sent by my sister who was studying abroad yesterday. As I was still in the gloom before losing my job, I ignored it last night. But now that everything is gone, its existence immediately caught my curiosity.

"Such a big package, I really hope it's all filled with instant noodles."

Looking at the mail package that was as big as half a bathtub, I couldn't help but have an extremely decadent wish as I didn't want to go out for food for the time being. With this wish, which was not so humble as it was pathetic, I crawled to the side of the large package like a caterpillar, grabbed a pair of scissors, and then opened the box while calling for instant noodles in my heart...

"It turned out to be a piece of inedible junk."

I coldly looked at the thing in front of me that looked like a coffin, but was actually a luxury gadget called a holographic online gaming device. I was almost about to punch it, feeling a little hungry. However, the value of this device was so expensive that the poor habits deeply rooted in my bones stopped my recklessness and prevented unnecessary losses due to accidental destruction.

If this game device was accidentally sent to me by someone else, that punch would be enough to make me, a newly unemployed mute man, further become a negative asset person in the 23rd century. No matter how I think about it, it's a tragedy...

"Shouldn't my sister be living frugally overseas? Why did she suddenly send me something that I've only seen on online ads? Wait! If a cute girl suddenly becomes rich, what's the reason?"

A terrible feeling suddenly spread over my heart. Thinking of the entrustment of my deceased father and mother before they died, I immediately lifted the caterpillar's decadent state, quickly took out my Watermelon brand smartphone, and opened the conversation window with my sister──

"Dear Mr. Ulu, hello! You have an unread email! ──October 2250, 10, 8: pm"

Then, I noticed the message reminder that I had forgotten in my gloomy mood yesterday. I couldn't help but stay stunned for a moment, and finally showed myself a helpless expression and silently clicked on the unread email.

The email was sent by my only sister.

"Dear Brother..."

Oh my, it's this embarrassing title again...

There is obviously nothing worthy of respect about me, but my well-behaved sister always praises me highly. Doesn't she know that I will be so shy that I will want to find a hole to hide myself like an ostrich?

Having said that, I still continued to read the following text quietly.

After all, this metal coffin in front of him is really expensive, very expensive!

"When you saw this message, I believe you also received the package sent to you, right? Hehehe, please don't be surprised by what's inside. Although it's worth a lot of money, it's definitely not a toy that your sister got by doing some shady things. Instead, she really succeeded in hooking up with a rich man..."

Did Ulan really sell out his body?

After reading this email, I almost got so excited that I threw away the Watermelon phone that I had saved up so hard to buy and had been with me for five years! However, my frugality as a grassroots citizen stopped me from venting my anger in this way. In the end, I took a deep breath and read the rest of the email with trepidation...

"...I have indeed succeeded in hooking up with a rich man, my beloved elder sister. Hehe, I am really sorry for keeping it a secret from you, elder brother. But now I must tell you an important decision. I am going to get engaged to an outstanding woman named Diwanlai Estein. This is a careful decision made after careful consideration. Ulan hopes that you, brother Uru, will not treat it as a joke. The game cabin in the package is a gift that Diwanlai prepared for you before you meet. I hope you like this gift! ──Sincerely from your sister Ulan."

A short email contains a huge amount of information...

First of all, my sister, whom I had raised for ten years with great difficulty on behalf of my deceased parents, was kidnapped by some bad guy overseas...

And the bad guy is a woman, which means my sister is a lily...

"Ah! I really want to burn to death this idiotic couple who suddenly appeared──"

I was roaring in my heart, but I honestly showed a relieved smile on my face. In fact, if Wulan could really find a good home, how could I, as her brother, be unhappy? Besides, my sister has always been precocious and her vision of people is much better than mine. If this is the person she has chosen, then she is probably a good woman who is a hundred times better than me, a mute, right?

"My sister who used to be obsessed with her brother suddenly became obsessed with her sister. What kind of joke is this..."

"No, even though I trust Wulan's judgment, I still have to see the woman named Di Wenlai in person!"

With a father-like persistence and attitude, I forced myself to put away my smile and put on a serious face in the apartment where I lived alone. Then I slowly opened the game console sent by my future brother-in-law and crawled in.

"Anyway, let's start with this gift! If this game isn't fun, I will never acknowledge that woman I've never met! Yes, I will never acknowledge her! Absolutely—"

As an unemployed person, I was playing my father's role-playing game for my own amusement while gradually turning on the switches of the game compartment according to the instructions in the manual. After pressing the confirmation button of a certain window, a dazzling blue light with a sci-fi color surged out of the compartment, and the glass screen cover above closed tightly with a bang.

"Dear player Uru, hello! Welcome to use the latest game product developed by Eistan. Before you happily travel in the colorful virtual world, please read the following terms carefully. If you have any objections, please click "disagree" and log out of this game navigation system. Thank you. Attention! Even if you disagree with the terms, our company will not provide any return service for this."

After a stiff electronic sound, a dense network of game announcements appeared before my eyes. Naturally, no player, including me, would actually run to take a closer look. Instead, we immediately pressed the "Agree" button and continued with the next game process.

Then, the environment in the game cabin suddenly changed.

After experiencing a sudden wave of weightlessness, my vision turned into a blue sky. At the same time, I was no longer aware of the existence of the game cabin. After thinking for a moment, I knew that I had completely entered the "bio-neural virtual synchronization state" described in the game manual, so I tentatively made a move to stand up.

"It's like standing in the real world. The development of technology is really great──"

While I was admiring the virtual technology, I also saw a terrifying giant in my field of vision. It was a silver dragon standing on the vast grassland. It spoke human language and warned in a majestic male voice: "Outsider, make a choice! Your choice will determine your fate. At that time, you will no longer be yourself, and the reality of the world will be reversed──"

"Wait… who are you?"

Under the terrifying pressure of the dragon, I was afraid that it would eat me up in one bite, so I asked a trembling and panicked question—

Then, I was immediately shocked by another fact besides the dragon!

"hold on!"

"How can a mute like me speak?!"

……

……

2. Psychological Test (Uru)

(Ulu) - the first person pronoun is in brackets

"Wait… who are you?"

The silver dragon in front of me did not answer my question, and I was so immersed in the amazing fact that I could speak that I ignored the changes on the dragon's side. When I came to my senses, the silver dragon had disappeared, and in its place was a towering tree with strange fruits. Only an old human voice came from the tree.

"Child, answer us, do you agree that death is the prerequisite for life?"

The voice of the giant tree seemed to contain the most ancient wisdom, which inexplicably caused me to feel a sense of inferiority due to ignorance. However, once I remembered that everything in front of me was just a game program, I quickly adjusted my mindset and threw away the ridiculous inferiority complex. Then I laughed at myself and answered the giant tree's question intuitively: "I disagree. I hope that life will have eternal continuation."

As I finished answering, the giant tree in front of me disappeared like drifting clouds, and the blue sky suddenly became gloomy, and a light and cool drizzle began to fall. But I heard a soft whisper, and an old man in a straw raincoat and hat walked slowly to my side in the drizzle, and asked in a strange tone: "Sir, the shoes you are wearing are really special, can you give them to me?"

Hearing this, I looked at the casual shoes on my feet, then at the straw sandals of the old man in the straw raincoat and hat, and I couldn't help but frowned slightly in displeasure, shook my head and refused, "No, I don't have the habit of giving things to strangers for no reason. If you really want this pair of shoes, maybe you can offer other valuable things in exchange? For example, the weapon on your back and the purse on your waist?"

Upon hearing my suggestion, the old man in the straw raincoat and hat just showed a bored expression, then turned around and walked into the other side of the wind and rain and disappeared.

"Is this perhaps a psychological test before the game? Giving different openings depending on the player's answers?"

While watching the old man in the straw raincoat and hat leave, I was trying to figure out the meaning of those strange people and things that had just happened.

Since the silver dragon told me at the beginning that my choice would determine my fate, then the giant tree and the old man in raincoat could probably be considered as part of a psychological test, right? Speaking of which, using psychological tests to determine the character's abilities and qualities is indeed a common method used in many RPG games.

With that assumption in mind, I, who knew nothing about this game, couldn't help but become more curious. Although the so-called psychological tests are often the most unreliable things, some people who don't believe in them always want to give it a try. If the test results match their own personality, they will say it's just a coincidence. Otherwise, they will curse that it's a lie. No matter the former or the latter, the most important thing is to put on a self-righteous attitude.

Although I don't really believe in those psychological tests, I don't dislike them either, because no matter whether the results are right or wrong, taking the multiple-choice questions in the psychological test is also a good opportunity to recognize my inner self. Only by recognizing my true nature can I further establish ways to improve myself. If I hadn't known that I was dumb and put in more effort than ordinary people, how could I have squeezed into this fiercely competitive workplace and received a higher salary than many healthy people?

"Ahem! Why do I suddenly feel a little complacent?"

Even though it seems that I can speak in online games, I am still used to talking to myself in my heart. However, the ever-changing situation before my eyes does not allow me to think too much. After the old man in the straw raincoat left, I saw a stone man with the physique of a bodybuilder jumping out of the mud. It first showed off its hard biceps, and then took out a gold and a silver spear from a loincloth-like body.

"Human, is it this silver spear or this golden spear that you lost?"

Without a doubt, this is a remake of the story of the Lady of the Lake. If I now answer its question honestly and say that I have not lost anything, does that mean it will give me both weapons? In general online games, if you get two powerful weapons at the beginning of the game, your character will probably upgrade much faster than others, right?

"But, no matter what, I don't want to touch weapons taken from other men's bodies, especially spears..."

I made a decision and said to the muscular stone man, "No, the two spears in your hand are mine. However, they are no longer useful to me now, so I threw them away. I am very sorry if I accidentally threw them to you. If you want them, please feel free to take them."

After hearing my answer, the stone man showed off his back muscles from the front and said sarcastically, "Oh, what a dishonest human being, you took the spear that is not yours and used it to pay homage to the Buddha without permission!"

Perhaps it was because I had my own lost voice in an online game for the first time. In the excitement, I became a little eloquent. I imitated the tone of the stone man and said sarcastically: "Oh, what a despicable monster. You obviously knew the truth of the matter a long time ago, but you still used the treasures of the world to test mortals. I really don't know what your intention is!"

The stone man was not angry. He just raised his rock muscles without eyebrows and asked meaningfully: "So, you don't want all the spears here? If not, I will take them all away!"

Because I instinctively resisted the other party's behavior of testing my human weaknesses, my tone became very bad. I waved my hand and drove away the stone man without giving in, shouting: "Take it away! Take it away! Please take away these unsanitary and dirty things quickly. No one will miss them!"

Seeing my bad attitude, the stone man grinned, which made my back shiver. But it seemed that it did not do anything to fight back. It just raised its eyebrows disapprovingly, put the two long spears back into the mysterious loincloth, and then did a backflip without saying a word. With the professional water-entry posture of a diver, it dived into the ground neatly and disappeared.

Then, another pleasant guitar sound came from behind me, and I turned to look at the source of the sound...

I saw nothing.

No, I looked down carefully and saw a tiny cricket sitting on a pebble with a musical instrument in its hand. This very fairy-tale scene made me think of an evil idea. If I accidentally stepped on this elegant and beautiful little creature to death, what kind of evaluation would the game system give to me?

Uru who bullies weak insects?

Oh, what an itchy title.
