Guild Boss's Ambition

How insidious! I like it!

I really can't help but give Cameron a thumbs up!

The way she did it was exactly what I wanted!

I immediately carried the two people from the Tree of Life on my back and whispered to Senior Annie and the others, "When we divide into groups later, you can go find other teams. That girl named Cameron is a good kid, and it would be a good choice to team up with her. As for Luo Jun'er, I will take care of her. Our goal is the final victory, understand?"

Senior Annie commented, “Why did our Stone House raise such a tasteless child?”

"Understood," said Branny simply.

In this way, following Cameron's proposal, we in Stone House also formulated our own strategy. As the target, Luo Juner looked helpless at this time. She held her chin and said to Cameron: "Are you doing this kind of trick again? Why do you have to make it so complicated every time? Isn't it better to have an open confrontation?"

Cameron disagreed and said, "How can there be any distinction between gentlemen and villains in the confrontation between adventurer guilds? Conspiracies and schemes are all part of the competition. The strong will dominate alone, and the weak will unite to fight. This is natural."

In the end, under Cameron's leadership, Luo Juner got the worst group.

Group A: Cameron, Anne, Branny, Elizabeth

Group B: Four people I don’t know

Group C: Four people I still don’t know

Group D: Luo Juner, Marginal Person A, Marginal Person B, and me

By the way, the official grouping location was in the arena, so the infighting among the girls was witnessed by the audience. However, even though the reality was so ugly, the audience was not too surprised. They were all people who lived on the edge of a knife, and this level of darkness was nothing.

Or in other words, this is how the game becomes interesting.

In this situation, I have two different options. The first is to do my best to help Luo Juner and bring her down, so that she, the number one seed, cannot enter the finals. The second option is to try hard to gain points for the team without making things worse, so that I can have a chance to enter the finals.

"Oh my god, why do we have to be in the same group with you!"

"Sister, stop talking. I am helpless too."

The group with Luo Jun'er and I was a pair of twin fox sisters from a certain guild. Because the elder sister looked too coquettish and the younger sister was too weak, and their rankings were 18th and 20th respectively, they were excluded by the other women and unfortunately ended up in our desperate team.

Well……

Anyway, let’s try trading first?

I love trading the most.

"You three, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

"What's wrong, Miss Lannong?" asked the twin sister named Alan.

"Did you know that the prize for the champion this time is bathing agent?"

"That kind of thing is fine in any way!" shouted the twin sister named Yalian.

"Let's make a deal!"

I smiled and suggested, "Now, as long as you all agree to give me the championship prize after you win, I will do my best to help you advance from the second round. Otherwise, I will take a negative attitude and do my best to make you disqualified. Dear audience, what do you think of my suggestion?"

At the end of my speech, I waved towards the magic lens.

People around me whistled at me crazily.

Everyone in Mopolis likes mean people, especially beautiful and smart women.

15. Strategy (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

The fox lady Yalian was so angry that her eyes were blazing with anger: "How could you be like this!"

I said as a matter of course: "Please understand that this exchange conference is a team competition from beginning to end. In addition to myself, I have two teammates in other teams. Sacrificing oneself to eliminate powerful enemies for companions is an executable tactic in itself. This is a reality that we adventurers should pay attention to!"

Unlike Yalian, Luo Juner, who was in the center of the vortex, seemed much more rational. She quickly accepted the current bad situation and agreed with a sunny smile: "It's just a bath agent. If you want it, Xiaolan, I can give it to you unconditionally. Now, I only care about how to retaliate against that conscienceless bastard!"

The conscienceless bastard refers to Elizabeth, who abandoned Luo Juner almost immediately.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

After uttering these wise words, Elizabeth joined the enemy army with full justification.

Seeing that Luo Juner agreed to my request, the remaining fox twins had no choice but to agree to my request. So far, among the twenty poster girls, I have controlled six people including myself. If I can eliminate the two unknown teams next and let Annie and my team both advance, the plot trend will be quite optimistic.

However, although I really wanted to win, this second round was not an event that I could win just because I wanted to.

"Restaurant service"

The theme of the second round is simple and clear. Among all the hostesses, there are probably few who have not come into contact with the kitchen and the restaurant. Those are the most basic places where they are most likely to come into contact with adventurers. Due to the low technical requirements, new hostesses are almost always assigned to the restaurant area to allow them to gradually become familiar with the operation of the guild.

Specifically, this round of competition is to simulate the operation of a restaurant.

A restaurant must have chefs and waiters. As for the restaurant itself, the organizer has temporarily built four open kitchens for us. All ingredients can be obtained from the vegetable market set up in the public area. As for the guests, there are 40 customers who move freely in the simulated food street. Each customer has two votes, and each stall can only cast one vote at most.

The organizers obviously put a lot of thought into selecting the customers.

That fits the racial ratio of Mopolis very well.

Among the forty people on the list, there were thirteen humans, seven orcs, two barbarians, four dwarves, two lizardmen, two goblins, two half-elves, two minotaurs, a dryad, a giant, a dwarf, a lich, a cat, and a high elf who called himself a big goblin.

Dry!

Why are you in there, Heloise?

And Bai Ye! Don't think I can't recognize your bone spirit ring just because you used disguise magic!

Wait! That black cat...

Oh my god, those bastards in the Knights Templar even spared the black cat in the sauna!

And more! That dwarf in a tuxedo! You are a city lord, why are you pretending to be a passerby here?

Isn't Mopolis City always shouting that the world is about to end? How can you two have the leisure to solve the side quests? Please solve the main quest for me! The main quest is the essence of the game!

I collapsed when I saw this list of forty people. All the weirdos around me had abnormal mobility. They were definitely not picked by chance, but were undoubtedly part of a conspiracy. At this moment, there was no way we could treat them as normal guests. Ninety-nine percent of them were coming for our stone house - and with bad intentions.

Putting aside the list of forty people, our first task is to "assign work."

Before we get into the discussion, I would like to make one statement in advance.

"With all due respect, the best thing I can do to help you is to do nothing."

This time, the fox sisters didn't find fault with me. Ya Lian said as if she had seen through the world, "Ah, I understand, I understand. Although I don't know which family you are from, if you are really capable, that bitch named Cameron wouldn't have forced you on Luo Jun'er."

Ah──

It feels so good to be understood!

I was almost moved to tears!

I forced a smile, and Luo Jun'er and the fox sisters quickly completed the negotiation.

The kitchen will be managed by A-Lian and A-Lan. Although neither of them is a famous chef, they can still make some basic home-cooked dishes. However, based on past practice, I believe that the other groups must be hiding some culinary masters who can make delicious food and thus gain a decisive advantage.

We are mediocre in cooking, so we have to stand out in other areas.

When it comes to floor reception, I heard that Luo Juner is the best waiter on earth.

I'm looking forward to her performance.

Then, after a round of explanation by the emcee, the second round officially began.

There was no need to hand out flyers or anything. The forty guests outside almost immediately entered the four different groups of restaurants. Group A took in 10 people, Group B took in seven, Group C took in eight, and our Group D was a full table of 15 people. There were some who wanted to come in later, but were forced to leave because the seats were full.

From this we can see that Luo Jun'er is truly charming.

Of course, it cannot be denied that I am quite good at attracting customers, for example, Bai Ye and Augustus.

I wasn't stupid enough to approach them and their cat. I just hid in a corner of the restaurant and took orders for the guests.

"Excuse me, can you please let that lady entertain us? She looks cuter than you."

As expected, Bai Ye insisted on calling me by name, but Luo Jun'er was no ordinary person. She must know how to protect her guildmates, so she immediately declined politely: "I'm sorry, my two guests, but our shop is not accepting any designated services at the moment. Can I serve you two?"

Generally speaking, most guests will retreat at this time.

But Bai Ye is different, she will definitely cause trouble, so I took the initiative to meet her.

"Luo Jun'er, this person is my acquaintance, let me come."

Luo Juner gave me a caring look, and I gave her a helpless smile in return. She immediately understood my current situation, patted my shoulder heavily, and turned to greet other guests.

"So, what do you want to do?"

I asked Bai Ye while picking up Augustus.

Facing my unfriendly tone, Bai Ye raised the two votes in his hand and smiled: "Don't hug Augustus so hard. The votes on him are also in my hands. You should want them soon, right? If you want them, come and please me. I have calculated for you. In this game, the two free votes in my hand will be the most decisive."

"Do you think scaring me will work? I won't fall for it. Please remember, we are a business place open to the public, and every customer must be treated equally. As long as you set a precedent here, I will not be in a position to refuse other customers later. Therefore, I will definitely not give you any special services!"

My tough attitude made Bai Ye narrow her eyes. She smiled faintly, picked up the simple menu, and said casually: "Cream-fried salmon pasta, hot lemon tea, and a glass of milk, all served by you."

I frowned and refused, saying, "In principle, I won't serve food to guests. You know the reason."

Bai Ye smiled and said temptingly, "As long as you are willing to serve me the food, I will immediately give you these two tickets."

I thought about it and realized Bai Ye's intention.

She is helping me.

I pretended to be unhappy and replied through gritted teeth: "Okay! Deal!"

I reached out and snatched the two tickets from her hand, stuffed them into my skirt pocket, and then handed the list to the kitchen department.

After about five minutes, Luo Juner and I had placed orders for almost all the customers.

Yalan and Yalian worked quickly, and since there were only a few options on the menu, they prepared ten servings of fried rice in one go. After the fried rice was out of the oven, Luo Juner started busying herself like a bee, and with the curse on my body, I could only stand aside and watch her hard work in silence.

"Hey! Over there! Don't you see your colleagues are very busy? They don't know how to help!"

Not long after, a member of the Minotaur tribe who was dissatisfied with what was happening started to mock me loudly.

I responded calmly and just smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry, sir. For safety reasons, I will not be in charge of serving the food. Please forgive me."

"Safety reasons. How dangerous can carrying a plate be?"

The minotaur twisted his mouth in disdain, and it seemed that he was not going to vote for us.

To prove that what I said was true, I turned around the next second and picked up the pasta for Bai Ye.

The moment my magic hand touched the plate, it was destined to live only three minutes at most.

I don't know when within three minutes it will run out of fuel, and I don't know how it will end its life. Sometimes it will follow the normal process of cause and effect, and sometimes it will proceed in a dangerous way that points directly to fate, such as a big explosion that does not conform to the principle of conservation of energy.

I held the plate in my hand and walked gracefully into the white night.

Before I could reach Bai Ye, the strange thing had already happened in front of us.

Augustus, who had just been lying quietly in Bai Ye's arms, suddenly became active. She first uttered a sharp threat, then quickly jumped onto my shoulder, and then pounced on a blue dragonfly flying in the air. In the end, she failed to catch the dragonfly that aroused her curiosity, and only used her tail to roll up the plate in my hand, causing it to shatter on the ground.

System: Successfully smashed a high-quality plate! Dark Element +10!

So I sighed quietly, looked at the minotaur, and shrugged helplessly.

"Well...it was because you didn't hold it firmly!" the Minotaur argued stubbornly.

I smiled coldly, walked towards the serving table, and picked up the salad ordered by the Minotaur.

"You forced me to do this, my friend."

Dark Element Progress: (400/500)

16. Dark Energy Ninety-Nine Percent (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

I have always been really reluctant to serve dishes.

Even though no one had ever been hurt, my heart couldn't handle the constant shocks.
