Chapter 98 Intermission 23

After some more discussion, it was Feng Bujue who came up with a name that was acceptable for everyone—Underworld Frontline.

It had to be said that it was not because he was an inspired author that he came up with such an interesting. If anything, the inspiration behind their new guild’s name came from a certain crazed GM who called himself the devil. When Feng Bujue was coming up with the name, his interaction with Woody that morning flashed across his mind, and such a name popped up alongside it.

Everyone was surprisingly okay with it; perhaps their patience was worn thin after the discussion went on for a bit too long; perhaps everyone’s attention had started to go elsewhere, and they just wished for this to be over with. In any case, with no objection from the founding members, the name Underworld Frontline was thus accepted.

Feng Bujue returned to his log-in lobby to submit this name, and when he saw the system say, "This guild name can be used," he sighed in relief. He had been sincerely worried that someone might have used this name already, and they would have to continue the brainstorm session.

The item directly appeared in his inventory. It was a piece of paper that looked like some kind of government form. Attached with a fountain pen, they occupied a space in Feng Bujue’s inventory.

———

Item Name: Signature Sheet—Underworld Frontline

Item Type: Consumable

Quality: Normal

Function: Forming a New Guild

Remark: The request must be submitted within twenty-four hours of acquiring this item, or the item will automatically disappear. Each player can only request one signature sheet per day, and players who are already in a guild are unable to do so. After acquiring four signatures and handing in 100,000 Game Coins, the guild will be formed, and the players on the signature sheet will be submitted as guild members.

———

Then, Feng Bujue returned to the conference room for another discussion, regarding who shall be the guild leader. Passing Rain’s intention was for Feng Bujue to be the leader from the beginning. Xiao Tan had full support for his Brother Jue. In any case, he was not going to take on his heavy responsibility. Laughing Soul was fine with anyone; she did not have much of a stance, as long as the leader was not her. To quote the girl, "You want me to be the leader? Hmm... Nope, I don’t have the presence, and I’m not interested."

Therefore, Feng Bujue found the responsibility falling on his shoulders. He thought about it for a few seconds before sighing. He put down his game ID in the space reserved for the signature of the guild leader before handing the sheet over to the remaining three. After everyone had dropped their signature, Feng Bujue collected the sheet, returned to his log-in lobby, and surrendered it to the system.

"Confirming all the players’ information. Please wait for a moment...

"Please confirm your request: Forming a Guild—Underworld Frontline."

Feng Bujue clicked the button to accept.

"Your request has been approved. Please confirm again to officially construct this guild, and 100,000 Game Coins will be deducted from your wallet. Please ensure that you have enough Game Coins on you before continuing with this process. Game Coins stored in the mailbox and store will not count for this operation."

After clicking accept again, the signature sheet in Feng Bujue’s grasp swiftly disappeared in a pool of white light. The next second, he was assaulted by a series of system announcements. They came with both written and audio files, a sign that they were more important than normal announcements.

"Guild ’Underworld Frontline’ successfully constructed.

"You have joined the guild ’Underworld Frontline’.

"You have been assigned the role of guild leader for the guild ’Underworld Frontline’. You can click on the attached link to view the detailed jurisdiction of a guild leader.

"Guild shared storage opened.

"Guild buff will be activated after twenty-four hours. Two buffs will be awarded depending on your guild’s current standing on the guild-related ranking.

"Guild member EXP buff activated.

"Would you like to go right into the designing of guild badge? If not, the system will temporarily use the default badge for your guild."

When the last sentence showed up, the screen before Feng Bujue’s eyes showed the design of the default guild badge. It was a simplistic design with a dark gray shield and ’Underworld Frontline’ written in white placed on top of the shield.

Feng Bujue did not introduce any changes to it because he remembered from reading the game manual that the first changes would be free, but after that, one would have to pay. The actual payment was dependent on the number of guild members; the bigger the guild, the more expensive it would be to change the design of the guild badge. At the same time, Feng Bujue glanced at the social tab on his menu. Other than friends, players that he with recently played, and blacklist, there was a new category, Guild.

When he prepared to return to the conference room, Feng Bujue noticed that there was a new button added to the elevator panel—’Shared Storage’. By default, only the leader could deposit and withdraw Game Coins and items from the storage while other members could only deposit Game Coins and items. Of course, for now, it should be empty.

Feng Bujue returned to the conference room and said, "This is more troublesome than I thought. Even just forming a guild comes with so much problems. One can imagine how tedious it’ll be to run one..."

He was a responsible person. As long as he was given a responsibility, no matter how small it might be, he would hope to complete the task to its perfection. Either he did not care about it or he was going to do his best. Carrying on without guilt was not enough; it was an issue of attitude. Those with the capability must not only work as they deemed fit but also so that those within their jurisdiction had no complaints.

Actually, under normal circumstances, Feng Bujue would have chosen to shirk the responsibility from the very beginning, so he had hoped that the role of guild leader could be given to someone else. However, that was incidentally not the case. Therefore, with his personality, what happened next could indeed be summed up as ’troublesome’.

When the three in the conference room heard the announcement, the badge soon appeared on their apparel. On Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul’s outfit, the badge appeared on the sleeve of their left arm, and since Passing Rain’s outfit was sleeveless, the badge showed up under her left shoulder, on the left of her chest.

"Brother Jue, did you design this badge?" Xiao Tan asked.

"It is the system’s default design," Feng Bujue replied. "I’ve looked through the selection. There are many designs to choose from, and you can even draw your own, but since we’ve started this process democratically, I thought we’d see it through. If I randomly chose a design that isn’t acceptable for everyone, you’d have me fork out more money to go and change it."

"We should use a black mountain goat’s head as the outline, with two red dots as the eyes. The emblem should be in the shape of a gray flame. The font shall be black with red lining." To everyone’s surprise, Passing Rain came up with a detailed design concept instantly.

"Hmm... The flame and symbol of the underworld... It matches our guild name quite well. Hmm? How come you came up the idea so soon, and such a good one?" Feng Bujue asked.

"What’s so surprising about that? Since you’re good with words, can’t I be good with pictures?" Passing Rain replied.

"Oh? Does that mean you’re a graphic designer? Architect? Comic artist?" Feng Bujue asked.

"Make me vice leader and leave this to me. Go along to play your Killing Game." Passing Rain did not answer him and changed the subject.
