Nie Yan looked around the room . 300 people stood in rank and file . Though they wore different clothing, they still looked quite imposing .
“Who’s in charge here?” Nie Yan asked, sweeping his eyes over his brothers .
Everyone turned their gaze to Painted Muslin . She was dressed in a casual white blouse and black skirt, like a mature beauty .
“Guo Huai told me to take care of the daily affaires here,” Painted Muslin said with a reserved smile .
“Mhmm, good . I’m just here to take a look around . I probably won’t get a chance to visit often . I’ll leave everything here to you,” Nie Yan said . Azure Windchime was founded by Painted Muslin in the first place . This was plenty of proof of her leadership ability . He had no objections .
“Big Sis Muslin,” Xie Yao greeted .
“Yao Yao, you came too?” Painted Muslin said with a bright smile, as she grabbed Xie Yao’s hand .
The sight of these two beauties happily chatting with each other caught the attention of everyone in the room .
“Boss, I’ll show you around,” Undying Scoundrel said . “Here, we are in the main hall . Up ahead…”
Nie Yan and Xie Yao followed behind Undying Scoundrel . He showed them around the villa, which was quite spacious . The center was a large hall where everyone could freely gather . As for the other sections of the villa, there were dozens of rooms . Even though the layout was a bit strange, it was still plenty impressive . One could only guess how Guo Huai managed to find this place . Not only did it fit all 300 players, the top ranked ones among them even had their own private rooms .
Nie Yan checked out the facilities . Most of the members were using game helmets . They clearly couldn’t afford a game capsule . However, the game helmets they were using were all high-end models, which were more than good enough .
Guo Huai, Painted Muslin, and the others had worked together in establishing the War God’s doctrine . This was the set of rules the members had to follow, in exchange for which they received fixed salaries that were linked to their performance and contribution .
Since there were quite a few people in the villa, even though it looked like there was an effort to organize things, everything was still a bit chaotic . However, this was forgivable since it was still in the early stages .
“Boss, what do you think? I know, it’s a bit messy right now . But we’ve already hired cleaners for today . Everything will be neat and tidy by this afternoon,” Undying Scoundrel said . His position here was only second to that of Painted Muslin . He was in charge of managing various affairs .
“Not bad . ” Nie Yan nodded with a faint smile .
War God was finally off the ground . It wouldn’t be long now before they became the number one gaming organization in all of China .
Ordinary gaming organizations were mostly made up of bottom of the ladder runts . They often did the low skilled work such as gold farming and selling to the highest bidder . Their various production and combat classes only made up about a tenth of their manpower . Not to mention even the combat classes could barely scrape by . Only the true expert level players were paid a decent sum .
There were far more players than open spots in gaming organizations . So, many could only work as freelancers, forever uncertain when their next paycheck would arrive .
Nie Yan planned to use War God to gather the real elites and create a truly powerful gaming organization .
Nie Yan and Xie Yao chatted with the people in the gaming house .
Many members were incredibly excited just to be able to interact with Nie Yan .
DING DONG! The doorbell rang . One person went over to open the door .
“Uncle Mistaken Smile is here!”
“Mistaken Smile!”
A commotion broke out near the front door . Mistaken Smile had quickly earned a lot of fame since entering Asskickers United . Seeing him, all the members started stirring .
“Oh? You’re here too?” Mistaken Smile’s gaze fell on Nie Yan . The two smiled at each other .
“Just here to take a look around . ”
Mistaken Smile looked around with a kind smile on his face before saying, “This place is pretty lively . I’m planning to join War God too . ”
“You’re more than welcome . ” Nie Yan chuckled .
With the addition of Nie Yan, Xie Yao, and Mistaken Smile to the other 300, this could definitely be considered a brouhaha . Since everyone was a member of Asskickers United, they all got along well . Even though there were some minor conflicts here and there, with Painted Muslin and Undying Scoundrel overseeing things, everything was smoothed over easily .
After hanging out for a while, the people who were still students scattered and went to school . Only Mistaken Smile and the older members remained behind .
Nie Yan and Xie Yao bid farewell to Mistaken Smile . Afterwards, the two joined up with Painted Muslin, Undying Scoundrel, Lustboy, and 50 others, as they went to school .
This was quite a large group . When they stepped foot on campus, they attracted the attention of all the surrounding students .
“Look, aren’t they all from Azure Windchime . What are they planning to do?”
“No idea . You don’t think someone pissed them off, do you?” No one could stop such a large group of people .
“Look, look! That’s the boss of Azure Windchime, Nirvana Flame . ”
Everyone pointed and stared at Nie Yan . He had undoubtedly become the center of attention . With his reputation as Nirvana Flame, it would be hard not to be noticed .
Nie Yan had long since become the number one celebrity in the Top Military Academy . Since he was also a member of Heavenly Kings, his influence on campus grounds couldn’t be underestimated .
Qin Han, Liu Rui, and all of Nie Yan’s other old enemies stared at him with eyes full of hatred and envy . However, they didn’t dare to provoke him . His position in the Top Military Academy was unshakeable . The students who were previously recruited by the Monet Financial Group quickly realized there was no future for them there . They used all sorts of methods to jump ship to Asskickers United .
Every day Asskickers United seemed to welcome more elites from the Top Military Academy . This only served to further cement Nie Yan’s position . The students who had a crush on Xie Yao also gave up on their pursuit of her, as they realized they couldn’t possibly compete with Nie Yan . One brazen fellow didn’t get the hint, fully convinced he was one of Xie Yao’s suitors and even declaring he would kill Nie Yan . In the end, some people ganged up on him after school and he didn’t dare to show his face again .
Nie Yan made use of his connections in the Top Military Academy to learn more about Liu Tianshi . However, it didn’t help much . Other than finding out he was a grad student who rarely attended classes, no one knew anything about him . His background was a complete mystery .
Nie Yan felt all the more convinced that Liu Tianshi wasn’t a simple man . After all, not just anyone could hide their background to such an extent in the Top Military Academy .
Recalling how unconcerned Liu Tianshi was after killing Tang Yao in the previous timeline, Nie Yan felt a trace of worry . This fellow was definitely a ticking time bomb . Even though the law was swift and harsh, there were few people who could ignore it . For Nie Yan, no matter what he did, he could only strictly abide by the rules . On the other hand, Liu Tianshi could break them any time he wanted to .
After receiving the reports from those below him, Nie Yan clenched his fists . No matter what, he couldn’t allow Liu Tianshi to harm him or his family . There was also Xie Yao, the way that bastard looked at her really rubbed him the wrong way .
Nie Yan gave Bayonet a call . 「How are Wang Duo and the others doing?」
「Decently . Since they’ve managed to last this long, they’re a step above trash,」Bayonet replied .
Even though Bayonet’s words were laced with sarcasm, he still acknowledged Wang Duo and the others’ efforts . Their growth was quite clear . This would prove to be a great boon for Nie Yan . Mo Yuntian was the most influential person he knew . To be able to carry out an important task for him would definitely solidify their relationship .
Nie Yan’s present glory was nothing more than floating clouds . Those envious gazes of the other students did not invoke the slightest hint of excitement in his heart .
Nie Yan spent the morning in class . At noon, Tang Yao gave him a call .
「Nie Yan, Wei Kai wants to meet you,」Tang Yao said . These days, Tang Yao and Wei Kai had been interacting quite often . However, Wei Kai still hadn’t met with Nie Yan again in person .
「Wei Kai?」Nie Yan thought for a moment . After giving Wei Kai the cold shoulder for so long, it was about time they met up again . This was someone who would definitely prove useful in the future . 「Have him come over and meet me . I want him to come alone . 」
「Alright, where do you want to set up the meeting?」
「All Light Bar, 4 PM . Book room 88 . Make sure nothing leaks out . Don’t let anyone else know,」Nie Yan said . Even though he was going to meet with Wei Kai, he still wanted to maintain a certain distance . The two of them were walking very different roads .
「No problem . I’ll arrange everything . 」
「You and Wei Kai have been talking quite often these days . What’s your opinion of him?」Nie Yan asked . His understanding of Wei Kai was still fairly shallow .
「That punk is really cruel and vicious, and resourceful too . Plus, he’s loyal to his own and treats them quite well . So, a lot of people look up to him . I guess that could count as one of his better points . He can be used, but you’ll have to be careful,」Tang Yao assessed .
「I see . 」Nie Yan nodded . Wei Kai was definitely a viper . If he wasn’t handled properly, he could end up biting the handle .
At 3 PM, Nie Yan gave a call to Painted Muslin and Undying Scoundrel and asked them to escort Xie Yao home and keep her company until he came back . Next, he called up Bayonet and asked him to protect her . Only then did he feel at ease heading to the All Light Bar .
All Light Bar, located in one of the most bustling districts in the heart of the city . This place was known for its night scene . When evening arrived, there would be crowds of people walking the streets here .
Nie Yan’s Thrawn zoomed through the city . He parked his car in the underground parking lot, then went up to the All Light Bar .
The All Light Bar was filled with dazzling neon lights . The frantic and high tempo music was a catalyst for people to release their wild side .
In the previous timeline, Nie Yan visited these kinds of places regularly . But later on, after he got his act together, he stopped going altogether . He didn’t know why, but right now he found it hard to adapt to this kind of noisy environment .
Nevertheless, this kind of establishment where people from all walks of life gathered was the perfect place to meet Wei Kai . No one would notice them .
