This is understandable. Those that are Lv 40+ are considered veterans right now. Most were recruited by [Vanguard], [Prague], or the other big guilds already. Even if the top guilds don’t have a definite guild in the game, they can still recruit players based on their reputation. This is definitely a type of human resource monopoly that we can’t do anything about. The big guilds’ strength isn’t something that solo players can compare to. High level players often seek the strong support. Who would join a fledgling guild like [Valiant Bravery]?
In my heart, I can only silently pray for General Li Mu. If they get a few more experts, [Valiant Bravery] might be able to survive when Ba Huang City’s streets run red from pks!

A long, cold night, it’s already around 2:00 AM. Finally, two men, trembling in the cold, who look like students, appear behind me. Their pockets are bulging and one has thick eyebrows: “Dude, queued up to buy a game helmet?”
I nod without saying anything. The two also stop talking, shivering in the line behind me.
As the night continues, more and more people arrive. By the time the eastern sky brightens, there are nearly 500 people in line. The line zigzags like a dragon. Quite a few are sitting on seats as they play poker.
As the first person in line, the pressures on me to not move. I tighten my grip on my money as I stand there motionless.
“Hey dude?”
